Thoughts after 9/2/2010 Class

I learned more details about the things going on between 1871 and 1899. I knew general details about this time period, but not the details. I also learned about the differences of new and old imperialism. I have heard the phrase new imperialism before, but I was never really sure what it entailed or what exactly it was. I did know some of the European's motivations for colonizing these countries, but there were new reasons I learned as well.
