Using the excerpt from Tools of Empire, the Ferry document, and the text, write a 3 page paper exploring the role of technology in the New Imperialism. How did the technology gap between Europe and Africa drive the Scramble for Africa? What motivated Europeans to use their technological advantages to dramatically expand their imperial holdings in the late nineteenth century?
Please make sure that your essay has a clear introduction with a thesis statement (your argument), body paragraphs with examples from the historical sources to back up your argument, and a conclusion.
Be sure and cite your sources by including a page number from the readings in your paper. Even paraphrasing should be cited. Failure to do so counts as plagiarism.
