Colonializing in the 1800s

European Colonial Empires were very different than many of the other colonial empires in the nineteenth century. One of the very strongest differences was the race factor. There was something called "scientific racism" where they based racism off the studies of all different types of races. As a result, whites were the most dominant race and were seen as a higher being to the other races. The Africans called the white people "bwana" which means master in swahili, and the Europeans or "white" people called the africans "boy." Another difference was the seperation of the Africans from the Europeans. Most colonial empires didn't supply seperate homelands for the black and white people, so it brought them closer together as a whole. These new European colonial empires demanded to have separate homelands, educational systems, and even public facilities. Furthermore, European Colonial Empires were liked more than the original colonial empires and therefore, people adapted to their empires and that is how scientic racism began. It lasted until the end of the 19th century and was a horrible era for everyone.
