Ap euro how did european imperial interests shift geographically in the nineteenth century

History

NISA [10]3 years ago
3 0
If you think of European empire prior to the 19th century, where did they extend their control over other lands?  It was mostly in the Western hemisphere.  France and Spain and others had large colonial territories in the Americas.  During the years following the French Revolution in Europe (which happened at the end of the 18th century), Napoleon came to power and the Napoleonic wars were fought across Europe.  The focus of Napoleon's attention was on Europe, not on colonies across the ocean.  So, for instance, he sold off the Louisiana Purchase to the United States.  Elsewhere across the Americas, native populations took advantage of the changes in Europe to rebel against colonial governments.  Napoleon had taken control over Spain and other parts of Europe as well as France, and a wave of independence movements broke out in colonial territories in Central America and South America.

When Europe resumed efforts to extend its control over other parts of the world, later in the 19th century (and into the early 20th century), they shifted their focus to Africa and Asia.  There was a race for controlling territories across all of Africa and especially in southeast Asia.  In Africa, only Ethiopia and Liberia managed to maintain their independence from European control when that wave of imperialist action took place.

The great wall served largely as a first line of defense and warning and was not seen as an impenetrable barrier. What is there
kumpel [21]

The famous Great Wall of China is considered to be the first line of defense and warning and was not even seen as an impenetrable barrier to those nomadic invaders and tribes. The view of the Great Wall was a vast plain of northern China that extends more than 300,000 sq. kilometers to the south.

Moreover, the region was comprised of coastal lowlands, Piedmont tablelands, highlands prairies and enormous mountains extending approximately 3170 miles from east to west. With this massive land mass and wide variations in climate and environmental factors such as unpredictable water currents in rivers, steppes, desert lands and impenetrable ridges,  it was truly a first line of defense of China.
