HIST 222 European Imperialism: The Conquest and Division of the World (Not 
offered 1997-98)* 
<P>
A survey of European imperialism in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, 
paying special attention to important case studies-British India, South and 
Latin America after independence, China and the Opium Wars, and the Scramble 
for Africa-and the onset of anti-colonial struggles in these areas. The rich 
historiographical debate concerning both the reasons for and the nature of 
imperialism, commencing with the Hobson-Lenin thesis, will be examined. Issues 
to be explored include imperialism and Christianity, imperialism and gender, 
and imperialism and racism, and imperialism and technology. The course will 
include a number of important films on these subjects.
Evaluation will be based on a midterm, a final exam, one 10-page research paper, 
two map quizzes, and class participation.
