Instructions
For this assignment, select
one
of the following options:
Option 1: Imperialism
The exploitation of colonial resources and indigenous labor was
one of the key elements in the success of imperialism. Such
exploitation was a result of the prevalent ethnocentrism of the
time and was justified by the unscientific concept of social
Darwinism, which praised the characteristics of white
Europeans and inaccurately ascribed negative characteristics to
indigenous peoples. A famous poem of the time by Rudyard
Kipling, "White Man's Burden," called on imperial powers, and
particularly the U.S., at whom the poem was directed, to take up
the mission of civilizing these "savage" peoples.
Read the poem at the following link:
Link (website):
White Man's Burden (Links to an external site.)
(Rudyard Kipling)
After reading the poem, address the following in a case study
analysis:
Select a specific part of the world (a country), and examine
imperialism in that country. What was the relationship between
the invading country and the native people? You can select from
these examples or choose your own:
Belgium & Africa
Britain & India
Germany & Africa
France & Africa
Apply social Darwinism to this specific case.
Analyze the motivations of the invading country?
How did ethnocentrism manifest in their interactions?
How does Kipling's poem apply to your specific example? You
can quote lines for comparison.
Option 2: The Armenian Genocide
Ethnic hatred is not new to the human race and ethnic hatred
also goes hand in hand with some of the causes of World War 1
that we have discussed this week, namely nationalism and
imperialism. In nationalism, the people not only believe their
countrymen (those who look, talk, sound, and believe like them)
are not only "better" than people of certain other countries but
they also have the right and possibly even the responsibility to
conquer areas with those inferior to them and take whatever
resources they feel they need. Add to this the need for the
leader of a country to be able to blame a certain ethnic group
within that country for their problems. Such was the case in the
Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Turks launched a winter
offensive into the mountains of southern Russia early in the war
and suffered a severe defeat, both at the hands of the Russian
army and the terrible weather they encountered. The Sultan
needed a scapegoat to blame the loss on, so he picked an
unpopular ethnic minority, the Armenians. Since the people
seemed to believe the story, the Ottoman military rounded up as
many Armenians as they could and marched them away to their
fate.
Watch the following videos on the Armenian genocide:
Link (video):
Armenian Diaspora (Links to an external site.)
(32: 43)
Link (video):
Battle over History (Links to an external site.)
(12:04)
After viewing the videos, conduct research on the topic and
develop a case study based on the following questions:
How did the Armenian genocide play on the root causes of
World War I, including nationalism, imperialism, social
Darwinism, ethnic hatred, and the gullibility of the Turkish
people who allowed this to happen and often even supported it.
What were the main motivations of the Ottoman rulers who
decided to try and eliminate an entire ethnic minority within
their country?
What was the process the Ottomans went through to round up
the Armenians and march them to their deaths? Describe the
process of the march and eventual genocide of the Armenians.
Why do terrible crimes against humanity always seem to happen
during a war?
How do foreign governments recognize and deal with this event
in their relationship with Turkey?

Textbook Chapter 2, 4LessonMinimum of 1 scholarly source .docx

  • 1. Textbook: Chapter 2, 4 Lesson Minimum of 1 scholarly source (in addition to the textbook) See additional required resources within the option instructions. Instructions For this assignment, select one of the following options: Option 1: Imperialism The exploitation of colonial resources and indigenous labor was one of the key elements in the success of imperialism. Such exploitation was a result of the prevalent ethnocentrism of the time and was justified by the unscientific concept of social Darwinism, which praised the characteristics of white Europeans and inaccurately ascribed negative characteristics to indigenous peoples. A famous poem of the time by Rudyard Kipling, "White Man's Burden," called on imperial powers, and particularly the U.S., at whom the poem was directed, to take up the mission of civilizing these "savage" peoples. Read the poem at the following link: Link (website): White Man's Burden (Links to an external site.) (Rudyard Kipling)
  • 2. After reading the poem, address the following in a case study analysis: Select a specific part of the world (a country), and examine imperialism in that country. What was the relationship between the invading country and the native people? You can select from these examples or choose your own: Belgium & Africa Britain & India Germany & Africa France & Africa Apply social Darwinism to this specific case. Analyze the motivations of the invading country? How did ethnocentrism manifest in their interactions? How does Kipling's poem apply to your specific example? You can quote lines for comparison. Option 2: The Armenian Genocide Ethnic hatred is not new to the human race and ethnic hatred also goes hand in hand with some of the causes of World War 1
  • 3. that we have discussed this week, namely nationalism and imperialism. In nationalism, the people not only believe their countrymen (those who look, talk, sound, and believe like them) are not only "better" than people of certain other countries but they also have the right and possibly even the responsibility to conquer areas with those inferior to them and take whatever resources they feel they need. Add to this the need for the leader of a country to be able to blame a certain ethnic group within that country for their problems. Such was the case in the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Turks launched a winter offensive into the mountains of southern Russia early in the war and suffered a severe defeat, both at the hands of the Russian army and the terrible weather they encountered. The Sultan needed a scapegoat to blame the loss on, so he picked an unpopular ethnic minority, the Armenians. Since the people seemed to believe the story, the Ottoman military rounded up as many Armenians as they could and marched them away to their fate. Watch the following videos on the Armenian genocide: Link (video): Armenian Diaspora (Links to an external site.) (32: 43) Link (video): Battle over History (Links to an external site.) (12:04) After viewing the videos, conduct research on the topic and develop a case study based on the following questions: How did the Armenian genocide play on the root causes of
