Imperalsim!

Imperialism in Africa was a big problem in the late 1800s. The British basically took over Africa , mostly because of their own interest and there own . Beside the fact that they had moral interest in Africa they had money interest. I think that the British were very selfish to do that to Africa because they only thought of themselves and not of Africa's needs and what they would get out of this! The only reason British did what they did is because The Suez Canal cut off six thousand tedious miles of travel which otherwise had to be made for a British ship to travel to India. Wow what people do to get to the top! This just made it more accessible and cheaper cost for the British imports and exports!
