We did the Imperialism Project because we wanted to know how Europeans got raw materials from other countries. They had to travel through ships to get what they wanted or needed. Or we went to a country, or a small nation and took what we wanted, or took over the nation. We completed this project so that our class could see the effects of Imperialism. Imperialism is when a powerful country or nation takes over another foreign territory. For this project, we attached things like cotton, tea, gold, and products related to that onto the project map. We also drew shipping lines on the map to show the trade routes of some of the countries. For example, England needed cotton to make more clothing in their factories, especially since there was an increase in demand for clothing. They noticed that India had cotton in their country so they decided to sail to their country to get the goods they needed or wanted.
