Topic: Modern Euro history paper 6
In the attached documents, you will find material on Cecil Rhodes, Henry Morton Stanley and King Leopold of Belgium. All three men believed that European control of Africa was inevitable and that their own states (Britain for Rhodes and Stanley, Belgium for Leopold) were inherently superior to any African civilization.
Write an essay of 250-500 words describing these ambitions, using examples, and explain what flaws, if any, you find in their arguments. How does Twain lampoon Leopold? Once you have posted your essay, comment on two others.
