The document discusses the Age of Imperialism between 1870 and 1914. It defines imperialism as the process by which powerful nations extended political and economic control over foreign territories. During this period, European powers aggressively built vast colonial empires across Africa, Asia, and Oceania due to various demographic, economic, political, scientific, and ideological factors. The major European colonial powers included Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. They divided and occupied most of Africa at the Berlin Conference of 1885. Imperialism had both positive and negative consequences for both the colonizing powers and colonized peoples, bringing changes to economic and social structures globally.
From the late 19th century onwards Industrial powers began to use their advanced economies, armies and technology to take over territories with no state organisation.
Between 1870 and 1914 they created huge colonial empires in Africa, Asia and Oceania.

Imperialism is very similar to colonialism, with one major difference: colonial powers settle the countries of which they gain control, while imperial powers do not. The term “imperialism” does not seem to exist prior to the 1800s. Nineteenth-century imperialism was spurred in large part by the Industrial Revolution. The development of new industrial economies in the 1700s and 1800s necessitated the acquisition of raw materials and the desire to gain control of marketplaces; thus, by the mid-1800s, imperialistic actions of strong nations (most notably European nations) started to become policy.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. DEFINITION
It was a process of extending the rule or
authority of a nation over foreign countries
or of acquiring and holding colonies.
Process by which a State, with a stronger
military strength or a more advanced
technology imposes its control over the
land, the resources and the population of
a less developed region.
3. • Imperialism/Colonialis
m: a policy of
conquering and ruling
other lands
• It existed from the very
beginning of
mankind’s history
• From 1870, the
industrial powers
carried out an
astonishing expansion,
building up worldwide
empires
Imperialism and colonialism
4.
5. DEFINITION OF IMPERIALISM
It is the period between 1870 and 1914, in which
the European powers reached the political and
economic domination of the world (above all
África, Asia and Oceanía)
8. THE CAUSES OF COLONIALISM
• Demographic
• Economic
• Political
• Scientific and technical
• Ideological
9. DEMOGRAPHIC CAUSES
• In the 19th century there was a significant increase in
Europe’s population (from 300 million in 1850 to 400
million inhabitants in 1900). The hard working class
living conditions and the unemployment encouraged
many people to look for better perspectives in the new
colonised territories.
European population
Year Inhabitants Increase
1850 266.000.000 26,2 %
1870 310.000.000 25,6 %
1900 460.000.000 28%
10. ECONOMIC CAUSES
• Imperialism was a consequence of
industrialisation.
• European countries tried to obtain colonies in
order to:
Invest their surplus capital,
A cheap source of raw materials and energy sources
A market for their products
Cheap workforce.
11.
12.
13. POLITICAL CAUSES
• National prestige: to be the best and have the biggest
empire.
• Different national reasons: France to forget the defeat in
1870, Germany and Italy to become great powers…
• New rivalries: GB vs. Germany, GB vs. France, US vs.
Japan

19. • By the late
1800s,
Germany was
challenging
Britain’s
economic
leadership.
• This rivalry was
a key factor to
understand
WWI’s outbreak
20.
21. STRATEGIC CAUSES
• The metropoles, above all Great Britain, fought for
controlling the seas or the commercial routes by
acquiring strategic enclaves (Gibraltar, Malta,
Cyprus, Suez Channel….)
22. IDEOLOGICAL CAUSES
Ideological causes
•Belief in European
superiority
•Racism, Social Darwinism:
conflict between nations
and races leads to social
progress as superior races
outcompete inferior ones.
•Western civilization
undertook the mission of
civilizing the world (Rudyard
Kipling’s “White Man
Burden”)
•Spreading Christianity
•Civilizing mission
23. Ideological causes

races leads to social progress
as superior races outcompete
inferior ones.
•Western civilization
undertook the mission of
civilizing the world (Rudyard
Kipling’s “White Man Burden”)
•Spreading Christianism
Which motives caused imperialism?
24. SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL
CAUSES
• Technological superiority (in weapons or
transport)
• The creation of Geographic Societies that
contribute to map the territories and control
them.
• Steam engine and railroads allowed easier travel
• Quinine to protect Europeans from malaria
• African and Asian diversity made it easy to
encourage rivalries between different groups
29. • In the 19th
century, much of Asia and Africa were
unknown. Colonialism favoured scientific travel and
geographical exploration, such as the English
Livingstone and Stanley in Central Africa.
• The conquest of the territory was easy due to
military and technical superiority of Europeans
towards the weak indigenous resistance.
• In 1914, just two countries in África were free:
Liberia and Abyssinia.
• .
30.
31.
32. • There were several types of colonial occupation:
– Exploitation colonies.
– Settlement colonies. Colonias de poblamiento.
– Protectorates.
– Concessions.
33. EXPLOITATION COLONIES
– The most common.
– The dominant country (metropole) governed and
exploited the economy of the occupied territory
(colony).
– The colonisers or European companies took control
of the lands, created plantations and started up
mining operations. They used indigene labour and
paid very low wages.
– The metropoles had a monopoly over the exploitation
of the colony’s resources and trade.
– Examples: India for GB or Ivory Coast for France.
34. SETTLEMENT COLONIES OR
DOMINIONS
– Good climates, small populations.
– No special resources or very important (gold,
diamonds) resources.
– White Europeans emigrated and settled there
permanently (colonists).
– Their governments had a certain level of autonomy.
– Examples:
• British Empire: Canadá, Australia, South African Union.
• France: Algeria.
35. PROTECTORATES
• Recognised and organised states occupied by the
metropole.
• They had an indigenous government and their own
administrative organisation.
• However, the metropole established a parallel government
that ruled over the local government and controlled the
functions of defence and foreign policy.
• Examples:
– Morocco was a protectorate of France (and Spain, the
North of Morocco).
– Egypt was a protectorate of Great Britain.
36. CONCESSIONS
• The metropoles obtained commercial
advantages of countries that were
independent.
• The metropoles obtained a number of free
ports in those countries
• One example was Hong Kong was a
British concession in China or Macao a
Portuguese concession

exploitation
• Subjection to a
foreign control
• Foreigners became

class
• Loss of its own
culture
Consequences of imperialism

87. ECONOMIC CHANGES
• The colonisers imposed their economic interests:
– Much of the lands became the property of the colonisers.
– Larga plantations were created.
– Traditional crops were abandoned.
– The indigenous population was forced to use money and
adapt to the capitalist economy.
– Local craftsmen were ruined as they couldn’t compete
with the industrial products (better prices).
88. • To some extent
there were
positive
consequences:
• Improvement of
health conditions
• Access to
education for the
native elite
• Construction of
railways, ports…
Mixed consequences of Imperialism
89. • For the colonisers,
consequences
were, in general,
positive (wealth,
power, self-steem)
• However, colonial
expansion caused
new tensions
among powers.
This rivalry was
one of the causes
of WWI
