Imperialism Project

We did the Imperialism Project to see how Imperialism works. Imperialism is when one country takes over another one. We showed countries who took over smaller countries for their resources. I remember my group and I coloring in countries who have taken over other countries with the same color so that they could use their valuable resources, like gold, silver, diamonds, slaves etc. We also drew lines for shipping lines overseas. Britain had the majority of the land captured. Mainly Africa and South America there was a lot of land taken over. For their gold, silver, diamonds, sugar, and slaves. Most of the countries that ruled these lands where Great Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, and Belgium. This led to the start of cultural diffusion, when countries start to trade food and culture.
