Africa was developing independently until it was taken by the capitalist powers of colonial Europe. Exploitation increased preventing this society of the benefit of their natural resources. By the early 20th century much of Africa, except Ethiopia and Liberia, had been colonized by European powers; even though African societies put up various forms of resistance against colonization. Between 1870 and 1900, Africa encountered military invasions done by Europe which led to an eventual conquest and colonization.
The European colonial powers were motivated by political, social and economic factors. It is important to note that Europe's first motivation for their intrusion was economic. It all started with the disintegration of the slave trade's benefits, its elimination and extinction, as well as the growth of the Industrial Revolution in Europe. Europe also wanted to control and have more lands that had raw materials which they needed for their industrial economy, and to open new markets for the goods made by them. This led to Europeans settling for extraction, appropriation of land for settlers or plantations, which made Africans to sell their work to European farmers, planters or mine-owners. Economy was monopolized by Europeans.
Each cartoon demonstrates the power of the Titans during the Gilded Age. In the first they are riding on the backs of the poor immigrants looking disheveled and weak and in the second the octopus is strangling the worker. Both present a view that the worker is being exploited or destroyed by the greed of the Titans.
The octopus is appropriate imagery as it shows the varied reach of companies like Standard Oil. They were in control of the government, banks, workers, etc. The octopus is ominous and comes out of nowhere but is ultimately dangerous in how they can extend in many directions and can hold on tight making all in the grasp helpless.
