Test - The class will have a test on Thursday (December 17th) on European Imperialism. The test will focus on the general forces driving European Imperialism and its impact on Asia (India, China & Japan).
The test will have the same format at the previous two test in which you had to draw a basic reasoning diagram and write a topic sentence for both questions and then write a complete answer for one of the questions.
These are practice questions take from older tests:
1. How do rebellions by indigenous people in India and China show that these peoples were opposed to European domination and the idea of the “civilizing mission”?
2. How was Japanese imperialism after the Meiji Restoration similar to European imperialism and, at the same time, how did it cause conflicts between Japan and European Powers over in China?
3. How did the Industrial Revolution give the Europeans a military advantage in establishing overseas empires?
4. How did the Industrial Revolution give the Europeans an economic drive to take over other parts of the world?
5. How did British rule of India result in first Opium War in China?
6. How did the difference in the Chinese and Japanese reaction to European Imperialism mean that European Imperialism’s impact in Asia resulted in the domination of China and Japanese Imperialism?
7. After signing the Treaty of Nanking, which ended the First Opium War, a Chinese official explained that the view of the Qing (or Manchu) emperor was that the treaty would, “permanently prevent further troubles from happening.” Why was this perspective wrong and how did it ultimately result in European domination of China?
