2+Summary+of+colonialism

Britain was in Zimbabwe for it's agriculture and natural resources. Britain wanted to use the resources like gold to make money and other resources to make items in factorys back in Britain. The British viewed indigenous people as free labor and they treated them with no respect. Britain forced the indigenous people to work for them without pay and took all their raw materials and even some of their land.



The indigenous people of Zimbabwe did not like the Empire because most of them were turned into slaves. Most of them tried to fight back, but were unsuccessful, until about the 1900's when the U.S. helped them all gain their freedom, and got rid of most of the empires in most of Africa. The Empires changed how the indigenous people worshiped some gods, and how they traded with other people, and how they were transported from one place to another. Most of the indigenous people that the British took over also did not like the way the British changed their culture and the way they act in normal society, so they rebelled and fought back, most times.

​ For a little while after Africa gained its independence, Britain lost all of its slaves, and lost some of its profits, but as most great empires, it did not take long to get back to normal. media type="custom" key="4859375"
