“[The African’s] chances of effective resistance have been steadily dwindling with the increasing perfectibility of modern weapons. … Thus the African is really helpless against the material gods of the white man, as embodied in the trinity of imperialism, capitalistic exploitation, and militarism.”
–Edward Morel (a British journalist) from his book The Black Man’s Burden
In other words...
Do you think Africans stood a chance to resist European
Imperialism? Even with all the weapons, money and power Europeans
Countries had over Africa?
The author of the quote says 'NO!' What do you think?
