1.What is colonialism?
Colonialism was the process where by strong nation control weak nation economically,politically and socially. E.g Britain as a strong nation in the 19th century colonized weak nations i.e India,Kenya,and South Africa where Britain exploited minerals,ruled the subjects and taught them Europeans' ways of living.
Colonialism can also be defined as the policy in which a country rules other nations and developes trade for its own benefit.
2.Background of colonization of Africa.
Colonization of Africa by Europeans in the 19th century was the product of growth of Capitalism in Europe.
The growth and development of capitalism from commercial to monopoty was the main reason why Europeans came to colonize Africa.
Capitalism in its development passed through the following phases;
i. Commercial capitalism
ii. Industrial capitalism
iii. Monopoly capitalism
I. Commercial capitalism(merchantilism)-during this period the main occupation was trade in gold,ivory and slaves.
In this phase European mercants accumulated a lot of wealth using primitive methods i.e slave trade,plundering,piracing e.t.c.
Wealth obtained in this period became a capital for the coming phase.
II. Industrial(competitive)capitalism-it was the period in which machines were invented which replaced human labour.
There was competition in production in which strong capitalists eliminated the weak ones.
This led to increase of production beyond the needs.
III. Monopoly capitalism(imperialism)-this was the highest stage reached by capitalism in its development to the 19th century.
This phase Europeans were struggling to control market,source of raw materials and areas to open the new investments.
During the first eight years of the 19th century European interests and activities in East Africa had taken many forms but had not yet resulted in any serious attempt to annex the internal parts of the continent.
Colonial powers i.e Britain,France and Italy had opened trading bases along the coast of Algeria and Cap,there had no interest in occupation or settlement.
There was the abrupt change in the last 20 years of the century with the scramble for sphere of influence so intense that by 1900 only Ethiopia remained untouched.
........Tutaendelea na sehem inayofuata i.e Scramble for and partition of Africa.
