The document discusses the reasons and effects of European colonialism around the world from the 15th century onward. It outlines some of the key motivations for colonialism, including nationalism, developing industrial economies, securing natural resources, and beliefs of social Darwinism and missionary work. Students will be assigned to research and present on a specific colonized country, addressing factors like why and when it was colonized, effects on indigenous peoples, and benefits/drawbacks for both colonizers and colonized groups. Presentations will be 5 minutes with a one page summary and citations.
