1. While the motto of the age of exploration (old imperialism) was "Gold, Glory, and God" the motto of new imperialism was "Commerce, Civilization, and Christianity."
2. Most new imperialism took place in Asia and Africa.
3. Europeans used the idea of "The White Man's Burden" to justify their expansion into nonindustrial areas.
2 Things that interested me:
1. Japan was to only Asian nation to resist colonization by a European power.
2. Ethiopia and Liberia were the only African nations to remain completely independent.
1 Question I still have
1. We know that the New Age of Imperialism ended with the beginning of WWI. Did it continue when the war was over? How did it change?
