Relations between colonizers and colonized ranged from murderous exploitation to condescending humanitarianism on the part of the colonizers. It ranged from rejection with armed resistance to eager acceptance on the part of the colonized. A wide range of attitudes and behaviors could be found between those extremes. Identify and describe the kinds of relationships between colonizers and colonized for which there is evidence in the Student Handouts. What are some of the circumstances that would have influenced the kinds of relationships developed? What, if anything, would have put brakes on relationships at the extremes? How would you explain the ability of a handful of Europeans to control the vastly larger numbers of people in their colonies who did not want them there? In what ways did they reinforce the power imbalance in their favor? Maps and Charts
