Imperialism in Congo?
For the Congo, start with good biographies on King Leopold II of Belgium - especially the pages and chapters dealing with the Congo. The Congo at one time was under his control by title and he was held responsible for any to all activities taking place there until others stepped in. Philippines is a much more complex issue. Start with the Spanish-American War - look at Japanese empire-building prior to and during World War II - taking of the Philippines and then the Americans taking them back and granting them full independent status later on.
How did people in the colonies respond to imperialism?
They said "KING ME" and they all went away happy with the new margarine on their bread. It was all buttery tasting. Now if you want to ask a real question in order to obtain a real answer, might I suggest you provide a little more detail. What colonies? What Imperialism? Please be more precise and elaborate just a tad.
How did Africans resist European imperialism?
Africans have generally done three things:They have resisted invasion by force of arms like they did in Matabeleland in Zimbabwe against the British, how ever this was often a miss match as the Europeans had more and better guns against spears and muskets.Once occupied especially in Sub Saharan Africa they have either withdrawn their labour from the colonialists.Refused to pay colonial head/hut tax, this was a tax system designed to force Africans who lived off the land into the cash economy controlled by the colonialists.These actions have generally lead to uprisings as a result of brutal colonial repression as a result. In the 1900s Africans began colonial wars of liberation seeking national self determination. From the 1960s onwards many of these were pseudo Socialist or Marxist in character and funded by the USSR/CCCP with elements form: Cuba, China and North Korea.The history of Africa 1790 to - 1995 is littered with bloody colonial rebellions.Against the Germans try:The Maji Maji uprising in German TanganyikaThe Herero Genocide in German South West AfricaAgainst the French there are too many to name but start with across North Africa but further south try:1916 & 1962 Tuareg UprisingKongo War Rebellion in the CAR1896 and 1947 The Madagascar UprisingsAgainst the Italians try the first Italo Ethiopian Wars 1895 the second Italo Ethiopian War in 1935 and the resistance in ww2 which lead to the defeat of the Italians in 1942.Against the British this is a long long long long list.The most famous would be the defeat by the Zulus at IshwandalaSecond would be one where the British behaved really badly the Mau Mau uprisingThe third most famous would be the Mahdi Uprisings in Somalia & Sudanof which there were severalForth would be the Egyptian uprisingThere were numerous revolts and rebellions in Nigeria & Ghana as well as in Rhodesia/Zimabwe and John Chelembi in 1915 Malawi and resistance to British Rule from 1959–1964Against Portugal there was incidental rebellion against the brutality of Portuguese rule or their tolerance of slavery over 100s of years culminating in wars of liberation in the 1960s and 70s most notably in Angola, Mozambique and Guinea BissauThe Bambatha Rebellion in South Africa in 1905The war of liberation in Namibia by SWAPO ending in the mid 1990s
Explain imperialism ---> question in description (:?
Well imperialism was basically the "I see it, I take it" philosophy when it came to land and nations. We conqured the Native's and they rebelled when they could, but were slaughtored by the colonizers as well as the sicknesses we brought.
How did Africans respond to the imposition of colonial rule in South Africa?
I am not well versed in the details of colonial expansion in South Africa, but here are a few general points.Colonial rule was a process, not an event - Broadly speaking, South Africa’s colonization occurred first with Dutch in the Cape, and were only later superseded by the British, with further extensions around the coast, particularly in Natal. Afrikaans (Dutch-descended) settlers later moved into the interior of contemporary South Africa following the end of slavery, gradually establishing their own nominal republics. Following the discovery of diamonds and gold, the British moved more aggressively into the interior as well, conquering the Afrikaans republics as well as African territories, later constituted as the ‘Union’ of South Africa.There were no single set of ‘Africans’ - Various African social formations were already in intense flux, and differentially impacted by the expansion. Generally speaking, those further South/towards the coast where colonization began were hit hardest: The Khoi-San in the Cape were ruthlessly all but exterminated, treated as ‘pests’ by Dutch settlers; the Xhosa in the (now) Eastern Cape were heavily brutalized by the British; The Zulu were ultimately conquered by the British in the Anglo-Zulu wars as the British expanded, the Sotho, under the deft leadership of Moeshoeshoe, were able to utilize British legal strictures to afford some protection, the Venda, furthest north, maintained a large degree of effective independence until the end.There were many formal and informal processes to ‘react’ to - Because the colonization process was relatively gradual and African groups (clans/tribes/kingdoms etc) not homogenous, ‘responses’ are complicated to untangle, there was not single moment of binary encounter between a single European force and united African inhabitants. There are many debates and different research topics on these that historians have gone over., and it is difficult to disentangle specific causes when there was so much social change going on. For example, the very presence of Europeans introduced new technologies, religion, merchant relations, employment (coerced and otherwise) and market opportunities etc. that impacted groups differently, and not uniformly within them. There are big debates particularly about the nature of Zulu expansion, the Mfcane, the ‘Cattle Killing’, the development of creole ‘frontier zones’, the increasing market orientation of some ‘peasant-like’ producers etc. etc.
