"I understand how our knowledge of the past is constructed through analysis of primary sources of many kinds."

A primary source is defined as something that was created by someone who attended a certain event first hand. They need to be produced recently after the event took place for them to actually be credible sources. But you have to watch out for people who try to fake credible sources. These can make your research totally useless.

Political Cartoon about Britain

This cartoon is depicting how some people believed how Britain was taking to much on when it was trying to capture Africa. Europeans had much trouble with trying to conquer Africa because of such things as disease. But during the New Imperialism new technologies like the Maxim Gun helped Britain dominate Africa. This website is a site used for references for teachers and student has many some awards.

British Sailors Landing in South Africa

This painting depicts the British landing in South Africa. South Africa was a major area of colonisation during the New Imperialism because the climate of that area was very similar to that of Europe. This website is a credible site because it contains other quality information and they gave the name of the artist and other information about the painting.

Mistreated Africans

Africans were not treated well during the new imperialism. They were often forced of their lands or killed. They were also forced into slavery and other terrible things without their consent. The site this came from is credible because at the end of the article they contained a copyright date and contact information.

Guy Next to Egyptian Artifact

Many artifacts were taken from places like Egypt by the British and to this day, they refuse to return to them. This is one of the more complicated things about the New Imperialism and it shows that we still live in the Post New Imperialism world. I believe this photo was taken at a museum containing Egyptian artifacts because it says "Ancient Egyptian History" on the wall behind him and other artifacts are visible.
