Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.68 Imperialism in Africa skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A teacher asks students to choose the best thesis about imperialism in Africa using maps, resource data, and source excerpts from the late nineteenth century. Which thesis is strongest?

AImperialism in Africa was mainly a single peaceful trade agreement with limited political consequences.

BEuropean powers partitioned Africa for one simple reason, with no role for rivalry, resources, ideology, or resistance.

CThe Scramble for Africa can be explained only by one battle and no other evidence.

DEuropean imperialism in Africa combined strategic rivalry, economic extraction, racialized justifications, and varied African responses including resistance and negotiation.

Solution & Explanation:The strongest thesis is multi-causal and evidence-based. It includes motives, justifications, systems of extraction, and varied African responses without erasing African agency.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Use the trade table to answer the question. A colony exports mostly copper, rubber, and palm oil while importing textiles, metal goods, and machinery from Europe. Which conclusion is best supported?

AThe table proves that the colony exported mostly finished industrial machinery.

BThe trade pattern shows complete economic independence from Europe.

CThe colony was integrated into an imperial trade pattern as a supplier of raw materials and a buyer of manufactured goods.

DThe imports and exports are unrelated to imperial economic structures.

Solution & Explanation:The table fits a common colonial trade pattern: raw materials moved outward, while manufactured goods moved inward from industrial economies.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

CEuropean withdrawal from all African claims
