Part 2 - Resources

• For instance, the acquisition of Cape Colony was motivated by a desire to control sea-lanes around the bottom of Africa and thus ensure that goods from India would flow freely.
• Because European countries wanted as much as Africa as they could have, the military had to forcefully gain control over the African territories. Africans who opposed European colonization were brutally suppressed by the military, who used such advanced weaponry as the Maxim and Gatling machine guns.
