...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...

...Case Study #1: Jules Ferry Stephanie Ziaja Chamberlain College of Nursing Contemporary History HIST 410 Professor Jones May 2, 2016 Case Study #1: Jules Ferry Jules Ferry was the prime minister of France whom argued for the expansion of colonies. 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 #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...

...Case Study One Kristen Shockley Contemporary History July 10, 2016 Case Study One According to Ferry, what recent developments in world trade have made it urgent for France to have Colonies? At the time that this speech was given by Ferry, the importance of free trade was emerging and growing. Ferry gave his speech because at this time, more countries were starting to make trade and exports a priority while France was not. He was placing importance on the fact that France was behind in this aspect and thus missing out on the benefits of trade and exports. If France were to develop more colonies at this time, they would be able to take part and thus send more goods out of their country. Ferry made it clear from this speech that he thinks very highly of his people and thus of his country meaning that he wanted the very best for it. “…Europe and particularly those of our own rich and hardworking Country: the need for export markets” (Ferry, 1884). He felt as though he was in competition with other countries (specifically Germany and the United States) because of their involvement with trade and France’s failure to do so thus far. They were getting to expand their horizons and gather items that weren’t regularly available to them in their own countries. Having the ability to trade not just among neighboring countries, but to countries across the world opened up many doors for the countries involved and ultimately, Ferry felt that they were missing out. What arguments against...

...Introduction From 1894 to 1899, Captain Albert Dreyfus, an Alsatian Jewish artillery officer, languished in prison on Devil's Island after the French Army General Staff wrongfully convicted him of treason and espionage. The campaign for his release, organized by his family and supporters, along with revelations of an army cover-up, saw the so-called “Dreyfus Affair” become the major focal point of French public discourse at the turn of the century. Partisan camps of “Dreyfusards” and “anti-Dreyfusards” waged a war of words against each other as they debated Dreyfus' innocence and, implicitly, what it meant to be French in the Third Republic. Marked by an effusion of antisemitic vitriol, this debate has been characterized by Frederick Brown as a polarizing battle between two rival visions of France.[1] This battle at times extended to the streets, as it did in response to the publication of Émile Zola's 1898 “J'accuse.” Zola's open letter indicted the Army General Staff for antisemitism and cover-up, and prompted reactionary riots across France, the most violent of which occurred in French colonial Algiers. There, the burning of Zola in effigy sparked a riot in which 158 shops were destroyed, six Jews were assaulted (two fatally), and 9 rioters, 47 police, and a large but unknown number of Jews were seriously injured.[2] As the site of some of the only murderous violence during the Affair, colonial Algeria deserves particular attention. Examining the Dreyfus Affair from the...

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...
