This learning resource focuses on the economic, political, and technological factors that drove European imperialism in Africa from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. It starts by outlining the historical context of European contact with Africa and the significant shift that occurred during the 'Scramble for Africa,' highlighting the Berlin Conference of 1884 as a pivotal moment. The resource includes vocabulary definitions, maps, and a series of activities such as listening comprehension tasks, document analysis, and discussions, challenging students to analyze the drivers of imperialism and conclude on the primary motivating force behind European expansion into the African continent. It encourages critical thinking through activities like Think-Pair-Share and culminates with a writing task that requires students to articulate their thoughts in a structured manner.
