Question 1

Colonial rule often led to men leaving for work in mines or plantations, leaving women to manage households and communities, thus becoming heads of households.

Question 2

In the nineteenth century,European interest in expanding overseas markets was driven by a desire to&#10;A) jump-start its industrialization.&#10;B) sell surplus manufactured goods.&#10;C) attract immigrant labor.&#10;D) spread capitalism and democracy.

Accepted Answer

The expansion of overseas markets was driven by a desire to sell surplus manufactured goods, as European countries were producing more than they could consume domestically. This led to a need for new markets to sell their goods and make profits.

Question 3

The spread of Christianity in Africa was facilitated by its association with&#10;A) export agriculture.&#10;B) female circumcision.&#10;C) modern education.&#10;D) mass nationalism.

Accepted Answer

The spread of Christianity in Africa was facilitated by its association with modern education. Missionaries often established schools and hospitals as part of their mission work, which helped to spread knowledge and literacy among the local population. This, in turn, made it easier for Christianity to be understood and accepted by Africans. Additionally, many Africans who converted to Christianity saw it as a path towards modernity and prosperity, which was often linked with Western-style education.

Question 4

In the nineteenth century,Europeans and Americans viewed imperialism as&#10;A) a &#34;civilizing mission.&#34;&#10;B) a &#34;yellow peril.&#34;&#10;C) a &#34;detribalization.&#34;&#10;D) an &#34;African Reformation.&#34;

Accepted Answer

Europeans and Americans viewed imperialism as a "civilizing mission," believing that it was their duty to bring Western values and culture to the peoples of Africa and Asia. This justification was often used to justify colonialism and exploitation of these regions.

Question 5

Which of the following characterizes the responses of societies facing the threat of European colonial rule in the nineteenth century?&#10;A) Accommodation for those who saw colonial rule as advantageous and resistance for those who viewed colonial rule as oppressive&#10;B) Surrender to European military conquest by local rulers and widespread acquiescence to colonial policies by the population&#10;C) Revolutions fueled by anti-imperialist sentiment,inspired by nationalist and communist ideologies,and led by the peasantry&#10;D) Westernization,as seen in the universal conversion to Christianity and the indiscriminate adoption of all aspects of European culture

Accepted Answer

Societies facing the threat of European colonial rule in the nineteenth century had varied responses. Some segments of the population saw colonial rule as advantageous and accommodated it, while others viewed it as oppressive and resisted it. This led to a mix of both accommodation and resistance movements in different parts of the world. Option B is incorrect, as surrender and widespread acquiescence were not universal responses. Option C is also incorrect, as while anti-imperialist and nationalist sentiments did fuel resistance movements, it is incorrect to suggest that these movements were solely led by the peasantry or inspired by communist ideologies in the 19th century. Finally, option D is also incorrect, as westernization was not a universal response to colonialism either, and many societies actively resisted the adoption of European culture and values.

Question 6

How did Charles Darwin's ideas on evolution influence Western imperialism?&#10;A) They were used to criticize the use of force in colonial encounters.&#10;B) They were used to argue for the assimilation of colonial populations.&#10;C) They were used by colonized peoples to resist Western imperialism.&#10;D) They were used to justify the displacement or destruction of &#34;weak&#34; races.

Accepted Answer

Darwin's ideas on evolution, particularly his concept of survival of the fittest, were used to justify the displacement or destruction of "weak" races by Western imperial powers. This justification was used in the name of advancing the superior race and its values, and was applied to both animal and human populations. It was used to justify genocide, land grabs, and forced assimilation, among other things. This use of Darwin's ideas helped to give scientific legitimation to the brutalities of Western imperialism.

Question 7

Which of the following highlights the relationship between imperialism and nationalism?&#10;A) Views of Asians and Africans as &#34;child races&#34;&#10;B) Views of Asia as the source of &#34;civilization&#34;&#10;C) Colonies as symbols of &#34;Great Power&#34; status&#10;D) Categorization of non-Europeans as &#34;unfit&#34; races

Accepted Answer

Imperialism often involved the acquisition of colonies and territories by powerful countries, which were viewed as symbols of their wealth, influence, and status as Great Powers. Often, this was tied to a sense of national pride and identity, as the acquisition of colonies and territories were seen as a way of asserting a country's dominance and superiority over others. Therefore, nationalism and imperialism were often intertwined, with imperialist ambitions being driven by nationalist sentiments. The other choices do not represent this relationship as directly.

Question 8

Which of the following reflects a new element in European views of non-Europeans in the nineteenth century?&#10;A) The idea that non-Europeans could assimilate into European society by Westernizing&#10;B) The belief that the racial inferiority of non-Europeans could be scientifically proven&#10;C) The portrayal of less technologically developed people as &#34;noble savages&#34;&#10;D) The view of Europeans as Christians and non-Europeans as &#34;heathen&#34;

Accepted Answer

The idea of racial inferiority based on scientific reasoning was a new element in European views of non-Europeans in the nineteenth century. This new scientific racism was used to justify imperialism and colonialism in many parts of the world. The other options were not new concepts in European views of non-Europeans and had been present for centuries.

The scramble for Africa involved diplomatic negotiations among European powers in conferences like the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885, where they peacefully divided Africa into spheres of influence, avoiding conflict among themselves over territories.

European armies were better equipped and trained, which helped them in conquest and colonization. Additionally, the Europeans' weapons technology was more advanced than the weapons used by people in other regions.
