To begin, the White Man's Burden was written in 1899 by Kipling while the Black Man's Burden was written in 1920 by Morel. In the White Man's Burden, the author justifies imperialism mentioning that Europeans ruling over underdeveloped nations is their responsibility. In the other hand, the author of the Black Man's Burden believes that the justifications mentioned in White Man's Burden are nothing but a lie. He believed that the colonization of these underdeveloped nations was only for the Europeans to gain access to their natural resources and take advantage of them. The author mentions all of the different ways in which colonialism damaged the people of these nations.
I am going to assume here you are referring to the 'Scramble of Africa' that happened in the second half of the 19th century, as the European power did not really control the African regions before then.
The methods contexts did differ per colonising power and colonised region, but it boils down to the following factors:
- superior firepower, equipment and recourses; having better guns, armour, communication technology, and supply routes, made the Europeans a formidable enemy that the various tribes simply could not counter.
- co-opting the local elites; a tried and tested method for centuries, this has always been the way smart conquerers could maintain control over a region with minimal fuss and expenditur.
<span>- divide and conquer; conflict between the many tribes of Africa has been a constant for centuries in the continent. The Europeans could easily manipulate the various tribes against each other to prevent a unified resistance from rising up. </span>
<span>- a willingness to use extreme forms of terror; the Europeans might have been all high and mighty back home about their Enlightment and democracy, but in Africa they were more than willing to use forms of terror that would make most contemporary dictators feel a little uneasy. Case in point, the widespread killing and mutilation when quotas were not met in king Leopold II's Congo.</span>
Thomas Paine made this statement to:
C. convince people to support the independence movement.
This article was made in support of the Revolutionary War, he wouldn't have gone with A or B. Native Americans did not have an important side in this argument. D is also incorrect because even though he did imply this, it is not the topic.
