Africas interaction with imperialism was when almost everyone was scrambeling for controll over Africa because of its location. Almost all of Africa excluding Liberia and Ethiopia were taken control of by European countries including Britain, France and Germany.

Almost every country except for Ethiopia and Liberia were claimed by European countries. In ethipoia when italy tried to take them over ther revolted and fought back wining beacuse their large numbers but when they came back the etheopeans were beat and whent under the italian rule. The Berlin Conference was the conference that German chancellor Otto von Bismarck called to set rules for the division of Africa. All major European countries participated, but the Africans had no representatives, it basically said whoever gets to a country first gets to keep it, despite the fact that Africans had no say in it.

Ethiopia was the only african nation with artillary strong enough to engage in any type of war.

Ethiopia was one of the only two countries that fought off the European imperialism. They battled with Italy and won. Africa wasn't really controlled by anyone, so France, Italy, Belgium, Germany, and other countries took over all of it except Ethiopia and Liberia and tried to influence them with western customs.

The European Empires looked to control Africa, however there wasn't one ruler. In fact, the nations of France, Germany, Spain, Italy and England divided up Africa. However, Liberia and Ethiopia were the only countries to maintain independence from European powers.

Since there was no real controller of Africa, it was a scramble to see who could take control of the most countries. Every country exept Ethiopia and Liberia was taken over. Ethiopia had fought off the Italian's to save their freedom. The countries wanted Africa because of its resources and it was more land to say you ruled over.

The Berlin Conference occurred which divided up Africa amongst a few European countries. All but two countries, Ethiopia and Liberia, were taken over.

Africa had no say in if they wanted the Europeans to take over their country and even though they fought back, they didn't have advanced enough technology to fight them off except for Ethiopia.

Africa's interaction with imperialism was when all of the countries were in a scramble for Africa. Almost all of Africa, except for Liberia and Ethiopia, was taken over.a Every country in Africa was taken over by a European Country, except Liberia and Ethiopia. Ethiopia fought against Italy and won, because of there modern weapons and skilled fighting skills.

All of Africa except for Ethiopia and Liberia, because Ethiopia withstood the attacks of the Italians and Liberia was established so that free slaves could go back to Africa. Britain, France, Italy, Germany, etc. all tried to imperialize Africa.

Imperialism in Africa was planned during the Berlin Conference which was met to prevent violence over conquering land in africa.

When European nation's set off to imperialize Africa, no consultation had been made with the Africans, resulting in anger in dispute among the two controversial sides. Of course the Africans fought back, but most had little success.

Ethiopia's first contact was one of few that actually went well for the Africans. Many African countries were invaded by European countries. But Ethiopia, on its first contact with imperialism, came out victorious. Its first contact was with Italians. Here the Ethiopians were victorious because they were trained in the ways of the Europeans and also had the same weapons.

During the 19th century European powers set out on a rush for African land that each country could claim for themselves. Britain typically claimed the best land areas for their countries and modernized them as they went. Germany typically claimed the worst. All countries in Africa was conquered except for Ethiopia and Liberia after the Brelin Conference had taken place without inviting and Africans to participate.

Ethiopias interaction with imperialism is that Italy tried to conquer Ethiopia, but because menelik the second brought in the best in technology and education and was advanced enough to defeat the italians. ** B. agricultural changes and new patterns of employment: ** Africans were forced to labor by europeans they were often beaten and killed because of the europeans racism Beause eropeans felt they were so much beter the africans the put them in slavory in their owne contrey.

The europeans superior attitude towards the Africans was demonstrated when they took the africans as slaves for plantations.

These major changes led to increased agricultural production which allowed for a larger population of Africa, it was brought on by the Europeans. Most of the major changes in agriculture that happened in Africa happened because Europe exploited the natural resources and African labor. (JB) Agricultural changes were the Africans were forced into labor.

The europeans superior weaponry gave them the oppertunity to enslave the africans.

The agricultural changes were adapted to work for the African people from foreign western people who came to the country. Other foreign invaders captured and sold african people as slaves to Britain, the U.S. and other countrys.

** C. the origins of African nationalism (specific countries would be helpful): ** African natives valued their traditions and condemned Western societies that upheld liberty and equality for whites only. By the early 1900s, african leaders were forming nationalist movements.

Ethiopia and Liberia were the only free countries, Liberia was set up by the United States, and was deemed a nation for free slaves to return home. Ethiopia was always independent, but had to fight to earn that right. Ethiopia as one of the two independent countries resisted Italy's attempt to take over and colonize it.

Liberia and Ethiopia both took control and modernized themselves as they saw other surrounding counties go down and taken under control by European powers. Both countries adopted some new Western ideas that the Europeans brought with them as well as bringing their own culture into their countries as they fought against the Europeans.

The British presence in Egypt caused a rise in nationalism because they were not happy with the British being there.
