On October 11, 1899, the South African/Boer war began. This war began over the
discovery of diamonds and gold found in the African region. Minor fighting with Britain
began in the 1890s, and in October 1899 full-scale war ensued. The British would
eventually win the war and on May 31, 1902, The Peace of Vereeniging was signed
which ended hostilities. The Boer War had a major impact on British tactics leading up
to World War One. The war had shown that modern rifles and artillery provided greater
accuracy, range and rates of fire than before. This led to the belief in a fire zone of
increased depth and danger, and the need for formations that were more open.
British Raj
The British Raj was the rule of the British over the Indian subcontinent between 1858
and 1947. This system of governance was instituted on 28 June 1858, when, after the
Indian Rebellion of 1857, the rule of the British East India Company was transferred to
the Crown in the person of Queen Victoria. Many historians say the long time effect of
this rule led to India’s falling economy. The British government imposed high taxes and
also depleted India’s food which killed around a third of the people of Bengal.

people and settled it as a penal colony in 1788. British imperialism used Australia as a
penal colony with an added semi-peasant economy. In its early days the British
imperialist idea was to develop Australia as a penal colony with this added semi-
peasant economy to maintain the inhabitants. One of the effects was mistreatment of
the native people. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the natives were ruthlessly been
pushed aside. The methods have varied from shooting, poisoning, starving, to
In 1904, the United States commenced building a canal across a 50-mile stretch of the
mosquitoes, while chief engineer John Stevens devised innovative techniques and
spurred the crucial redesign from a sea-level to a lock canal. The Panama Canal helped
American and British ship goods more efficiently with a cheaper cost. One of the
negatives of this project was the depletion of the wetlands the Americans destroyed and

Analyze the effects of the Age of Imperialism from 1750-1914 on various regions
of the world
There were a variety of effects during the Age of Imperialism (1750-1914). One
of the main effects was that Europe became the most powerful region in the world.
Countries such as Germany, France, and Belgium all gained lands across different
continents. Great Britain was the most significant of the European imperial powers.
Imperialism and industrialization made Great Britain the most powerful nation in the
world. Great Britain's naval and merchant fleets were the envy of the world. The
Industrial Revolution made sure that Europe was stronger and more wealthy than
Another effect of this period was the increased competition among European
nations. In the late 19th century European nations rushed to conquer lands in Africa.
The quick takeover of Africa by European imperial powers became known as the
"Scramble for Africa". During the "Scramble for Africa" conflicts arose between

meeting was called the Berlin Conference (1884-85). At the Berlin Conference the
European imperial powers agreed to a set rules for colonizing Africa to avoid war
between nations. The Berlin Conference was a success. All-out war didn't take place in
Africa, but young nations such as, Germany (1871) and Italy (1861) were still extremely
