, European Exploration and Expansion into Africa: Motivations and
Ironies
Introduction:
The XIXth century can be characterized as an exceptional period of extensive
European advance and activities in Africa, which was influenced by the simultaneity
of different forces and concepts. The statement that the outrage of anti-slavery that
elpanted as an important driving force in the European exploration could provide us
another notable approach to the complex historical topic. This paper is devoted to
study the role of this dictum in the colonial expansion of European into Africa. It shows
the intricate cooperation between the moral expectations and other constituents such
as the economic intentions, power obsession, and foreign policy issues in determining
the European growth in Africa.
Through examining the dynamics of the European exploration, the essay attempts not
only to clarify how the moral issues contemporarily intersected with the broad phase
motives but also the role played by the European empires in promoting the African
development. It will focus on bringing to light how an end, that is the clash of
humanitarian values, pursuit for profit, and geopolitical strategies, in return provides
helpful info for the understanding the colossal complexity of colonialism in Africa. This
investigation helps us to appreciate the truly diverse components of European growth
and the extent of its effect on the broad continent as well as an overall global scale.
Historical Context:
As the 19th century saw the transformation of Europe's approach towards slavery, the
humans of Europe had to undergo a hard time in deciding whether to abolish slavery
or not. The Enlightenment notion of freedom and equality became popular. Also, the
humanitarian movement reached its peak creating a dramatic change of mind set by
which people were supposed to abolish slavery. These influential characters like
William Wilberforce in Britain and abolitionist movements all over Europe fuelled the
initiatives for banning the transatlantic slave trade and also resulted in entire abolition
of slavery.
