New Imperialism – management methods

Indirect Control Direct Control

•Local government officials were used•Limited self-rule•Goal: to develop future leaders•Government institutions are based on European styles but may have local rules

•Foreign officials brought in to rule•No self-rule•Goal: assimilation•Government institutions are based only on European styles

Examples:•British colonies such as Nigeria, India, Burma•U.S. colonies on Pacific Islands

Paternalism

• Governing people in a protective, parenting way. – Giving them necessary items in order to

survive but denying them rights.– Used largely by the French in Africa.

Assimilation• Forcing countries to adapt the ways of the

imperialist power.– Examples are forcing people to speak the

same language, adapt clothing fashions, religion or other social factors.

– Used heavily by the French in N. Africa, British in India

itself against colonial control.• Italy tried to conquer it in 1890’s but was

led by king Menelik II.• Menelik II successfully played France,

Britain and Russia against each other for weapons.

• In The Battle of Adowa, 1896- Menelik defeated Italy.
