...Jules Ferry: On French Colonial Expansion (1884) Regina Farr-Killian DeVry University: HIST405 Professor Thomas Keyser March 6, 2016 Jules Ferry is known for being a politician and twice the Prime Minister of France in the 18th century. Ferry wrote a pro-expansion speech to recite for the French Parliament on March 28, 1884. The main idea for his speech was to justify the policy on colonial expansion by addressing the need for growth in the French commerce. Is Ferry acting in good faith to the French or is it his own greed and the need to be superior, especially with the African countries? Jules Ferry was concerned with economic strategies, because major industries of France were lacking outlets to export their goods such as textiles, Germany and the United States had set up trade barriers, he considered the United States of America perfectionists, he feared that the South American markets would be taken over by North America, and he knew that the markets of France were not only shrinking but being taken over by the “great states”. Ferry also realized that times had changed, warships could not carry more than two week worth of coal and the need for a place to supply, shelter, and as port of defense was needed. Therefore, it was urgent for France to acquire more colonies. The arguments against imperialism have been raised by Ferry’s critics, by Jules Ferry, (1884) stating “indeed the higher races have a right over lower races.” (para.4). He also...

Ferry had many reasons as to why he wanted to expand and why he believed it would be good for France. Ferry had a debate with a member of the French Parliament regarding his idea of expansion and argued his points. This case study will examine and answer specific questions related to Ferry’s ideas, beliefs and arguments in relation to imperial expansion. According to Ferry, what recent developments in world trade have made it urgent for France to have colonies? Ferry mentioned a few developments in the world trade that made it urgent for France to have colonies. Germany was creating trade barriers that would obstruct trade with France. Industrialization was increasing in France which created a high production of goods that in turn caused an excess of goods in their country. This caused a great need to export their goods out of France. To do this, France needed additional channels because the trade barriers created by Germany were impeding their trade of goods. Ferry recognized this as a serious issue. He believed that it needed to be amended with the expansion of colonies due to their intense growth of industrial population. At this time, the United States had become protectionists. This factor may have been an influence...

...Case Study: Jules Ferry Melissa Elliott Chamberlain College of Nursing HIST 410 Professor Franklin March 06, 2016 Case Study: Jules Ferry 1. According to Ferry, what recent developments in world trade have made it urgent for France to have colonies? As an imperialist, Jules Ferry felt that France should be exploring and taking over new nations. He claimed colonial expansion was a great need that had become extremely urgent by the people and industrialized population of Europe (Kleinman, 1897). He stated that other countries, United States and Germany, were exporting so much more than France was. Jules Ferry compiled a report of statistics with his perspective of that great need for colonial expansion (Kleinman, 1897). This report asked questions daring the readers to disagree. Asking if it was a “fantasy”, a “concern that could wait for the future” or a “crying need” for the people of France and its industrial population (Kleinman, 1897). In his mind, he was just voicing what others could plainly see themselves just by looking around. In his words “France needs more outlets for exporting (Kleinman, 1897, para. 2)”. He proved this by blaming Germany for France not having enough outlets because they were setting trade barriers up. Then he blamed the United States for supporting Germany because the U.S. had become “protectionists and extreme protectionists at that (Kleinman, 1897, para. 2)”. He claimed that because of the dwindling markets it was becoming more difficult...

...Case Study #1: Jules Ferry DeVry University HIST 410 March 05, 2016 Case Study #1 : Jules Ferry 1. According to Ferry, what recent developments in world trade have made it urgent for France to have colonies? According to Ferry, the recent development in the world that made that made France to have colonies was the need outlets or to create market for their goods after post industrialization. Their next door neighbor Germany have some trade barriers in place that will not grant France free hand to trade on the goods they are producing. To this end, the only way to boost their economy was to source for other outlets where these goods will be sold as to keep the economy alive and thus taking over both their political and economic system. This is to say that the colonies created by France was not intentionally to develop or help those economies grow primarily but to use them as an opportunity to grow their own economy and in the long run will lead to exploitation of those nonwestern nations. Even when they move into those economies and build their industries, the deprive the indigenes of the opportunity to manage and rule their lives. They are turned to who live on pay with the hope that something good is brought to them from the west and in turn their expertise and human capital is used to their own detriment. Competition among other industrialized in seizing some markets for their goods like North America created a fear that if France do not act fast, the entire market...

...The advancements in communication, growth of emancipation and the spread of education has enabled our society to reach an echelon of civilization that not long ago would have seemed impossible. If one looks but a little over a hundred years ago in the past, they would see a world in which western Europe and the United States exploited numerous countries all around the world for their resources. To the blind eye, religion and race were the motivating factors for the explosion of imperialism in the nineteenth century, and although they played a role, it was the drive for profit that kept these nations in the hunt for more land to conquer. It is imperative to acknowledge the roles that religion and race did play in the growth of imperialism....

...The Era of Imperialism During the late 1900’s Europe decided it was in the nation’s best interest to expand their territory and bring inferior race’s under its control. The Europeans would not be the first to expand however they did go one step further, choosing occupied areas. Africa, Asia and the Pacific were three of the first areas to be conquered and permanently occupied. Industrial Revolution empowered Europeans in a way they hadn’t been empowered before; industrialization and technology changed the very nature of imperialism. The European’s possessed knowledge of technology and fire power that no one else could compare to. The Europeans felt that it was their duty as well as their right to progress the rest of human civilization by teaching them their own western ways. Because the Europeans reaped the benefits of profit and global power they felt as if they were justified in their actions. Regardless of how powerful the Europeans were, not everyone shared their views. People questioned their motives and claims of everyone benefiting from the European-style colonization. Eventually those who became subject to the Europeans, became aware of the own lost culture and ways, this began the protest of anti-colonial nationalist. Justifications of Imperialism “Something else is needed for France: that she cannot merely be a free country, that she must also be a great country, exercising all of her rightful influence over the destiny of Europe; that she ought...

U.S./Israel-Palestine Notes Preface to the First Edition (1986) St. Augustine tells the story of a pirate captured by Alexander the Great, who asked him "how he dares molest the sea." "How dare you molest the whole world?" the pirate replied: "Because I do it with a little ship only, I am called a thief; you, doing it with a great navy, are called an Emperor." The pirate's answer was "elegant and excellent," St. Augustine relates. It captures with some accuracy the current relations between the United States and various minor actors on the stage of international terrorism: Libya, factions of the PLO, and others. More generally, St. Augustine's tale illuminates the meaning of the concept of international terrorism in contemporary Western usage, and reaches to the heart of the frenzy over selected incidents of terrorism currently being orchestrated, with supreme cynicism, as a cover for Western violence. The term "terrorism" came into use at the end of the eighteenth century, primarily to refer to violent acts of governments designed to ensure popular submission. That concept plainly is of little benefit to the practitioners of state terrorism...
