What led to the scramble for Africa?

History
1 answer:
monitta3 years ago
5 0

Based on my knowledge, the scramble for Africa was largely because the industrial revolution was springing up all over the world in largely European countries and they were at a point where resources were running out. Gold and other valuable metals were discovered in Africa as well as timber. The surplus of resources in Africa made it very valuable to these industrial countries so they all made a huge "scramble" to Africa. Also, the idea of merchantilism, the idea that the amount of land a country owned defined its wealth, was still very popular so these countries wanted to make a huge land grab.

A bimetallic standard allows the value of paper currency to be linked to the value of metals. In this case, the value of gold and silver. Populists felt that, unlike, the Gold standard which was favored by Grover Cleveland and William McKinley, the bimetallic standard would increase the supply of money, stabilize prices and facilitate exchange rates.

Why did the us become involved in hawaii during the early and mid 1800s
Vikki [24]

A few reasons. It was great for the United States economy because of the great production of sugar and other items there. Also because it was a strategic location for war. The terrain was perfect and it being an island gave them access farther away from the motherland. You can actually still see some of the bunkers and stuff on the volcanoes that they used in the World War!
