Document Summary
Morocco and libya were the last places to be colonized before the first world war. A martinique psychologist said that you are much more likely to experience colonialization in the city since it is where the europeans went first. In sudan the british used automatic shooting guns to annihilated the people and ended up killing about 16,000 people. The limits of resistance: particular states, societies and individuals determined reactions to european presence. There was no standard response: african troops had a role in the process of colonial conquest, military conquest was just the beginning of the colonialization process. Ethiopia, liberia, the belgian congo, kenya: the biggest place where rubber was produced was congo and over 20 years over more that 200 thousand people have died in the process of forced labour. In settler colonies the europeans would take the land away from the native.
