How it started = Slave Trade• Europeans first took an interest in

Africa during the 1400’s. They found that slaves could be bought along the African coast from tribal rulers who had taken prisoners of war.

• The African rulers sold their prisoners in return for cloth, guns and iron.

• Between 1450 and 1865, European traders transported some 10 million slaves to North and South America where they were sold to owners of sugar and cotton plantations.

Europeans paid for slaves using Manillas made from bronze, copper, and sometimes gold a form of African currency.

Why = Raw materials for Industrial Revolution and cheap workers

• After people recognize the evils of slavery, Europeans decide to seek commodities other than slaves to trade.

• Commodities and other natural resources taken from Africa by Europeans included:– peanuts, tea, sugar, and coffee – raw materials for factories like timber,

rubber, iron ore, copper– Luxury resources: platinum, silver,

gold, diamonds

- Tribes were autonomous (meaning they made their own rules, were self-governing) before colonization

- Tribes were lumped together in countries laid out by the Europeans

Political Effects

4. Apartheid – racist policies in South Africa that separated people by race

Clip Apartheid 1. Describe the

policies put in place that created apartheid.

2. How is this similar to segregation in the US?

APARTHEID SUMMARYA. Racial segregation in South Africa began in colonial times, but apartheid as an official policy was introduced following the general election of 1948. New legislation classified inhabitants into racial groups ("black", "white", "colored", and "Indian")

B. Housing was segregated, sometimes by means of forced removals. From 1958, Blacks were deprived of their citizenship, legally becoming citizens of one of ten tribally based self-governing homelands called Bantustans, four of which became nominally independent states.

C. The government segregated education, medical care, and other public services, and provided black people with services inferior to those of whites.

Directions:

Mandela Clip1. What was life like for urban black South

Africans?

#2. African countries lack INVESTMENT CAPITAL - cash used to start businesses, factories, mines, etc.

Why?

- Europeans took their ways to make money (crops, natural resources, minerals, etc.)

- Europeans left and did not set up governments causing wars and chaos

- Many European companies remained in Africa the money from natural resources is still going to Europe

- International organizations like the IMF provide African nations with enormous loans that they cannot repay so they have to use a huge portion of their GDP to pay off debts.

Investment Capital Clip1. Give at least two reasons explaining why

the mine isn’t up and running?

2. Do you think this will have a positive or negative impact on the Liberian people? Explain your answer.
