Beschreibung

The second half of the 19th century and the first years of the 20th century function like a microcosm of colonial and anti-colonial developments of the British Empire. In fact, the period proved crucial for the future development of the British Empire and its colonial policy in Africa as criticism from anti-colonialist currents was steadily increasing towards the end of the 19th century. It has been chosen because it covers the last years of the Victorian Era and the first ones of the Edwardian Era. The period marked the beginning of the heyday of imperialism with the Berlin Conference in 1884/1885 where Africa was partitioned among the European countries, and with its widest extension throughout the first years of the 20th century, but also the crisis of British imperialism in Africa und thus, played a decisive role in determining the images of the natives in Africa.
