  2. Dutch East India Company Lands Claimed – Indonesia, Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Celebes, the Moluccas Major Products – coffee, tin, rubber, cocoa, tropical fruits Impact of Colonization – rigid class structure with the natives on the bottom and the Dutch settlers at the top British Lands Claimed – Singapore, Malaysia, Burma Immigration policy – to fill need for labor in mines and on plantations, Chinese immigrants were brought in. Impact of Colonization – British stayed in control, but Chinese soon outnumbered native Malays, leading to ethnic conflict that still exists today Country was modernized and grew economically

  3. France Lands Claimed - Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia Method of management – direct control with Frenchmen at the top positions of every institution – use of military force when “necessary” Impact of Colonization – opposed local industries and required cash crops like rubber and rice to be grown on French-owned big plantations. Significant mistreatment of locals including food shortages. Brutality, mistreatment and racism (from the paternalistic French attitude) built anger and resentment that could not be off-set by French-built schools and roads. Sets the stage for future conflict and war United States Lands Claimed –Philippines, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Guam, Hawai’i Method of management– businessmen ran the colony after deposing traditional queen. Then the new “republic” government, headed by Dole, “asked” to be annexed by the US to become part of the US. Impact of Colonization – Hawai’i lost its independence and traditional queen, saw immigration of Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese workers, education, transportation and communication were modernized.
