Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Wormeley Latimer's Europe in Africa in the Nineteenth Century is a comprehensive study of European imperialism and the history of colonization on the African continent, which had crucial impacts not only on diplomacy during the 19th century but the two World Wars fought in the first half of the 20th century. As Latimer noted at the beginning: ""Europe in Africa in the Nineteenth Century" has been a vast subject to be crowded into the limits which I have allowed myself in this series. If I am told by my critics that my book is deficient in historical perspective, I can only reply: "You are right; but my aim has been to tell only what interested myself, and what I hoped might be interesting to other people. I therefore have put many persons, events, and other matters into the foreground, which, if I aimed to be an historian, I ought to have relegated to a less prominent position."Almost every chapter of the book forms a narrative by itself. It was nearly as hard to write as would be a history of the United States with no reference to our General Government.The chapters on Uganda, South Africa, and the French in Central Africa, were especially bewildering; but I have had good material, and only hope I may have succeeded in making clear what seemed a Dark Forest in history before it had been penetrated and explored."

This book was released on 2015-02-12 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most histories seek to understand modern Africa as a troubled outcome of nineteenth century European colonialism, but that is only a small part of the story. In this celebrated book, beautifully translated from the French edition, the history of Africa in the nineteenth century unfolds from the perspective of Africans themselves rather than the European powers.It was above all a time of tremendous internal change on the African continent. Great jihads of Muslim conquest and conversion swept over West Africa. In the interior, warlords competed to control the internal slave trade. In the east, the sultanate of Zanzibar extended its reach via coastal and interior trade routes. In the north, Egypt began to modernize while Algeria was colonized. In the south, a series of forced migrations accelerated, spurred by the progression of white settlement.Through much of the century African societies assimilated and adapted to the changes generated by these diverse forces. In the end, the West's technological advantage prevailed and most of Africa fell under European control and lost its independence. Yet only by taking into account the rich complexity of this tumultuous past can we fully understand modern Africa from the colonial period to independence and the difficulties of today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Europe in Africa, the Nineteenth Century Do my readers know what is meant by a "short yarn"? It is the nautical phrase for a story that has been broken off short, - a narrative that has never reached its legitimate conclusion. This book is a volume of "short yarns." They will probably be found to have their ends somewhere in the coming century. Meantime it seems well to know something of the beginnings of what in years to come may interest the world exceedingly. "Europe in Africa in the Nineteenth Century" has been a vast subject to be crowded into the limits which I have allowed myself in this series. If I am told by my critics that my book is deficient in historical perspective, I can only reply: "You are right; but my aim has been to tell only what interested myself, and what I hoped might be interesting to other people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major work analyzes competition between followers of two major world religions for mastery of the east central region of Africa. Bennett meticulously traces the process by which European economic and political rivalry with the Muslim rulers of east central Africa became transformed into a holy war against the Arabs. Bennett documents these complex relationships through three stages of their development: the first contacts of Arabs, Europeans, and Africans (1800 to 1870s); the peaceful competition of the 1880s; and the downfall of Zanzibar dominions in the last part of the 19th century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the historical debate surrounding the partition of Africa, the events that led up to it and its implications for the continent itself and for the rest of the world is so controversial that it is difficult to provide a coherent survey of the shifting theories of the last twenty years. In this pamphlet Dr MacKenzie attempts to do this, by sketching the historical background to the partition, surveying the events of the partition in the four main regions of Africa and then examining in turn the theories produced to explain the sequence of events.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written about the origins of the great push which led Europe to colonise sub-Saharan Africa at the end of the nineteenth century. This book provides a new perspective on this controversial subject by focussing on Europe and a range of empire-building states, Germany, France, Italy and Portugal. The essays in this volume consider economic themes in addition to the political and cultural aspects of the transition from commerce to colonies. Unlike other texts on the subject, this refreshing new volume redresses many imbalances, by: considering of a number of empire building states, instead of just one of them Giving prominence to powers other than Britain Giving weight to economic themes without losing sight of the equally important political and cultural aspects of the transition from commerce to colonies Taking the analysis beyond the 1880s, and revealing the broader picture - covering the time of the first attacks against the slave trade (during the 1780s) to the premise of the 'scramble' (1880s) Reviewing the colonial process (excepting that of Great Britain) as the reaffirmation and exacerbation of the Ancien Regime, and as a reflection of the highest form of merca

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III THE ZULU KAFFIRS?THE GREAT 'TREKKING1 OF THE BOERS?THE RISE OF NATAL The Zulus loom large in the history of South Africa. Regarded simply as warriors, they enjoy the distinction of having inflicted on British soldiers one of their few defeats, and of compelling modern troops of the highest courage and training, and armed with the breechloader, to receive their terrific charges, made on foot, and with the spear as their only weapon, in the square formation which, in civilised warfare, has been reserved to meet the assaults of cavalry. Their athletic strength and their valour, only to be tamed by sustained volleys of deadly rifle fire, were never equalled in the experience of British troops against savage foes until the ' Dervishes' of the Sudan displayed their prowess. They are a tribe of the great Bantu family, occupying all central Africa from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. The Bantus are of mixed race, descended from ancestors of diverse types, and are broadly distinguished from the Negritos and Hottentots to the south, and the Sudan blacks to the north. It was only at the end of the eighteenth century that the Zulus, previously a small and feeble tribe, rose to importance under a successful warrior named Tshaka (Chaka), a man of great bodily strength and vigorous intellect, ruthless in his treatment of all opponents. He created a strong, well- disciplined force, and gathered around him clans and fragments of clans until he had formed a Zulu nation of regiments armed with a short-handled, long-bladed spear, useful either to cut or to stab, instead of the former light lance or assegai. The discipline was of the sternest character, with death as the sure penalty of disobedience or of shrinking on the day of battle. With this formidable force at command, Cha...

Download or read book European Imperialism in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries written by Woodruff D. Smith and published by Chicago : Nelson-Hall. This book was released on 1982 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a small book on a very large subject. It is written for the general reader and for students who want an overview of modern European imperialism and an indication of some of the major issues with which historians of imperialism are currently concerned. Obviously, such a book cannot go into detail on any aspect of the subject. I have attempted wherever possible to use particular cases of imperialism to represent larger phenomena that occurred in many different places and at different times. I have also included references to important works on the subjects discussed in each section of the book; preference has been given to recently published studies and to those in English which are most likely to be available to the reader. Although the book is not purely a narrative and is organized around a number of theses, the presentation of the theses is necessarily abbreviated and the support for them incomplete. They should be considered as means of structuring the material; fuller exposition must awaith future publications. - Preface.
