  1. Well, let’s, like, finish yesterday’s stuff, then we’ll do today’s… Chapter 17, Section 2-3 Notes (End of Section 2 and Section 3)

  2. Quotes that Weren’t Said…But Could Have Been… • French Imperialism • Why did they imperialize? • “Other countries will respect us more…” • “We need more troops for our armies; places for our ships to refuel…” • “We need materials to advance in industrialization…” • “We sell good stuff! People like our goods here! People will like them other places too; we just need a place to sell them…” • “It’s our stuff and we found you…you can only buy our stuff!” • “We’re better than you…but you can be like us…” • “If you don’t do what I say, you’re going to be grounded (take away rights) and lose your allowance (take away money)

  3. Super Password • North Africa • Get out your Venn Diagrams from yesterday—Let’s hear what you had • Algiers fought for their freedom for over 40 years vs. the French but lost • Tunis was east of Algiers & France made it a protectorate in 1881 (Turkish governor stays; France rules the country) • In 1904, France made an agreement with Britain, Spain, and Italy to stay out of their way in Africa if France could have Morocco • In 1909, Morocco became a French Protectorate • The Moroccan leader asked for French intervention to stop an attempted revolt against his government • Once the French were in, they weren’t about to leave

  4. I Always Liked Susie • Suez Canal • In exchange for staying out of France’s way in Morocco, France let Britain imperialize Egypt • In 1854, the Egyptian government let a French company build the Suez Canal and Egypt’s government bought half the stock in the company • Costs of the canal were high and Egypt was in deep debt • The Egyptians sold the stock to the British in 1875, giving the British control of the Suez Canal • Britain wanted the canal because they wanted a direct sea route from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea • This let Britain get to colonies in India, Australia, and New Zealand easier • Egypt technically remained independent, but Britain had much influence over them after gaining the canal

  5. You Say Fa-shaah-da, I Say Fashoda • Confusion over the Sudan—the Fashoda Crisis • Sudan was an Egyptian colony…but Egypt was almost like a British colony…is Sudan’s government strong? • No, so Muhammad Ahmad (nickname: al-Mahdi) and his Mahdists overthrow the Egyptian government in 1885 • Britain sees this as a threat because they want to control the upper Nile River in Sudan • France wants control over Sudan, especially the Nile River • French soldiers march 3,000 miles over 2 years, getting to Fashoda in 1898 • 2 months later, Britain invades Sudan and defeats the Mahdists and meets the French at Fashoda • Both countries prepare for war but France backs down because their army and navy are weaker than Britain’s

  6. Charts • Take out your charts from yesterday • Let’s see what ya got…
