That the natives would fight back and that they would want their land again.

The term “Africa Race” refers to the unrestrained occupation that the continent suffered from, mainly, the second half of the 19th century. European powers began to systematically promote the occupation of the continent, with this process reaching its peak during the Berlin Conference, held in 1884 and 1885.

During this process of conquest, European countries justified their action through a civilizing discourse. They claimed that the domination of the African continent aimed to lead the "developed" way of life in the West, with the advent of technologies that had emerged. In addition to this argument, Europeans used the spread of Christianity as a pretext. However, these justifications were used to hide the real purely economic interest in the region.

Theories based on racial and ethnic prejudice were also formulated to justify this domination. This was known as "social Darwinism", which started from a misreading of Darwin's theory of the evolution of species and defended the false thesis of the existence of the natural superiority of certain human groups over others.

The conquest of the African continent by the Europeans was relatively easy, since, according to historians, the European powers already had knowledge of this continent because of the missionary activities developed in it and the expeditions of the explorers who mapped the territory. This allowed Europeans to become aware of the peoples and kingdoms that exist in Africa, especially their weaknesses.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

GUTIÉRREZ DE LARA, JOSÉ BERNARDO MAXIMILIANO (1774–1841).José Bernardo Maximiliano Gutiérrez de Lara, Mexican revolutionary and diplomat, son of Santiago Gutiérrez de Lara and Maria Uribe, was born at Revilla (present Guerrero), Tamaulipas, Mexico, on August 20, 1774. He married his cousin María Josefa Uribe and became a merchant, blacksmith, and property owner at Revilla. During the Mexican War of Independence, led by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, Gutiérrez and his brother were successful in fomenting revolution in Nuevo Santander, and Gutiérrez was sent by Hidalgo to recruit along the Rio Grande. After the Casas Revolt, Gutiérrez was commissioned by the rebels to solicit aid in the United States. He left Saltillo for the United States on March 17, 1811, going by way of Revilla to collect supplies. After the capture of Hidalgo, he resolved to continue his mission and in August 1811 went to Natchitoches, Louisiana. In October he left for Washington, D.C., with letters of introduction from John Sibley and arrived on December 11, 1811. He was received by Secretary of State James Monroe, who listened to the plans for establishment of a republican government in Texas and use of Texas as a base for effecting the liberation of Mexico. During his stay in Washington the Mexican leader met the ministers of Britain, Denmark, and Russia, and visited the representative from revolutionary Venezuela. Also in Washington, Gutiérrez met José Álvarez de Toledo, and with Álvarez in Philadelphia in January 1812 made plans for the liberation of Texas and Mexico. Back in Louisiana in March 1812, Gutiérrez was introduced to William Shaler, special agent from the United States, who helped Gutiérrez to return to Texas. In April 1812 the two men were in Natchitoches, where the Gutiérrez-Magee expedition assembled and set out for Texas.
