Social Darwinism • Since Euro countries were stronger* ---they “should win” • “…since weaker people can’t defend themselves, it’s our duty take them over. ” • *had machine guns, steam boat, telegraph, medicines

4. Religious Motives A. “Missionary Spirit”: Euros wanted to Christianize the colonized people – Bring hospitals, schools, churches

• “It is this consciousness [understanding] of the inherent superiority of the European which has won for us India. However well educated and clever a native may be, and however brave he may prove himself, I believe that no rank we can bestow upon him would cause him to be considered an equal of the British officer” 1.
