Captalism is the primary reason for European colonization of africa

I believe the primary reason for European colonization of Africa was capitalism. European nations saw opportunity for new trade routes and potential wealth in some of Africa's natural resources. The geographical limitations of Europe also played a part in reasons why Europe colonized Africa.

To be more specific, by the later half of the 19th century, all of Europe was occupied. There was no room left for European nations to expand. Around the same time, an interest in the idea of exploring Africa began to take root. A few expeditions, however, produced a wealth of new found commodities. Word of the financial prospects in Africa began to spread throughout Europe, which created a race between European nations. Envoys were sent to secure peace agreements with native tribes, who were more willing to align with Europeans since slavery had been abolished throughout Europe by then. The rise of the railroad made it possible to transport goods and people throughout the continent, and advancements in medicine made it easier for Europeans to live there. Soon enough, European countries were vying to colonize Africa in order to grow their own empires and assert both financial and political power over other European nations.

Explain why a group taking a vote on something is an example of direct democracy
Ainat [17]

  The direct democracy or pure democracy it´s a form of democracy in which the people directly decides on policy initiatives, it differs from the representative democracy; the one that it´s currently established in the majority of the countries; because in that the people choose the representantives and they are those who decide the policies to carry on. In the representative democracy the people do not govern, it´s a common mistake to mix both concepts.

  Two different forms of direct democracy are participatory democracy and deliberative democracy. The deliberative democracy is a form in which the deliberation it´s a central matter to the decisions and it is seen as an amalgalm of the direct and the representative democracies. It holds that for a democratic decision to be legitimate, it must be preceded by an authentic deliberation not a mere voting.

  The participatory democracy is one that emphasizes the broad participation of everybody but it demands to the citizens to be more involved in the political participation.

  I think that a group taking a vote on something is an example of a participatory democracy because everyone have the same power to create consensus and, at last it would win the iniciative that obtain more votes. If the example was a representative democracy then the group would have to vote for only one person to make a decision and then the group will follow the "leader" choice althought it goes against the majority of what the group wants.

I hope the answer to be useful for you. Regards.
