The correct answer is a) Africa had an abundance of raw materials for industry.

At the end of the 19th-century, European powers were going through the Industrial Revolution and, therefore, they needed a large number of raw materials in order to supply their increasing industrial production. For this reason, between 1884 and 1885 in the Conference of Berlin all these powers met and decided to partition Africa among them in order to colonize it and exploit its resources.

<span>Europeans saw Africa as a rich source of raw materials to use in industry and as a market for European products of industry. Also, it was felt that having a colonial empire at this time was part of being a European power, in order to be able to compete. Furthermore, some Europeans felt that they were superior to Africans and were therefore justified in conquering what they thought were the backward peoples of Africa.</span>

To what extent should Columbus day be celebrated?<br> I need argument essay about this topic!
Anarel [89]

Assuming you're pro-Columbus day, these are points that can be made:

Being historically accurate, Columbus day should be celebrated because he attempted and was successful at colonizing and helping America grow.

A common argument trying to counter being pro-Columbus day is the mention of killing Native Americans, so you can mention that diseases had already existed and were the primary cause of death in the New Land rather than Natives being killed (keep in mind though that disease and murder were both factors).

Another Pro argument that could be made is the fact that yes, vikings DID find America first, however Columbus helped Americas economy, etc.


Assuming you're anti-Columbus day, these are more points:

What Christopher Columbus did to Native Americans is unjust, essentially he took land from the Natives and they were forced to convert and change their lifestyle in order to work with Columbus or were killed; brutality is unacceptable.

The day itself should be focused on the Native American victims of Columbus.

The vikings technically found the New Land.


I hope this helped a little! :)
