30. RESEARCH & PRESENTATION
•What area or country are you researching? Where is it?
•Why would a European nation want to colonize this area? (Consider
natural resources, location, etc.)
•When did this area become colonized? By which countries?
•Who were the key people involved in this movement?
•What were the effects of colonization?

Do you think there is a good reason for one country to take control of another country? If so, under what circumstances do you think that would be justified?\n
In this lesson you’ll learn about colonial history of Southeast Asia and how colonization shaped what Southeast Asia is today. \n\n
Now let’s have a look at what activities we are going to do in our class. First of all, we are going to define these following words ‘colonization’ and ‘imperialism’ and see how they are different and similar as these two words were used to explain colonial history of Southeast Asia. Next, we’re going to brainstorm a list of colonists and colonized countries in Southeast Asia based on your past knowledge. After that, the pros and cons of countries that ruled others and countries that were colonized. Your main assignment in this unit would be to conduct a small research on colonial history of selected southeast asia country and give a presentation to the class. \n\n

Have \nLet’s define Colonialism and Imperialism\nWhat is the difference and similarity between these two words?\nColonialism and imperialism are often used interchangeably, but they are two different words having different meaning. \nAccording to Oxford Dictionary, Colonialism means..... \nwhile imperialism is.......\nThough both the words underline suppression of the other, Colonialism is where one nation assumes control over the other and Imperialism refers to political or economic control, either formally or informally. \nIn simple words, colonialism can be thought to be a practice and imperialism as the idea driving the practice.\nBoth colonialism and imperialism appeared in colonial history of Southeast Asia. \n\n
Now, anyone have any idea which country colonized which country of southeast Asia? Can you guess? \nteacher encouraged students to have a guess on their own country\n
Imperialism in Asia traces its roots back to the late 15th century with a series of voyages that sought a sea passage to India in the hope of establishing direct trade between Europe and Asia in spices. \nBefore 1500 European economies were largely self-sufficient. They only have minor trade with Asia and Africa. However, within the next century, European and Asian economies were slowly becoming integrated through the rise of new global trade routes. \nThe very first country to arrive Southeast Asia is Portugal. In 1511, the Portuguese discovered the sea route to India around the Cape of Good Hope.\n\n
The Netherlands and Spain followed and soon superseded Portugal as the main European powers in the region. The Dutch took over Malacca from the Portuguese in 1641 while Spain began to colonize the Philippines (named after Philip II of Spain) from 1560s. The Dutch established the city of Batavia (now Jakarta) as a base for trading and expansion into the other parts of Java and the surrounding territory.\n\nBy 1900s, nearly all of Southeast Asia countries were under western rule. Britain came relatively late onto the scene. Starting with Penang, the British began to expand their Southeast Asian empire. In 1819 Stamford Raffles established Singapore as a key trading post. Stamford Raffles was a British statesman. He is often described as the ‘Father of Singapore’, best known for his founding of the city of Singapore. Later on, Great Britain took control of Burma. From the 1850s onwards, the pace of colonization shifted to a significantly higher speed, imperialism. \n\nAlthough Thailand was not colonized, it was also greatly affected by the power politics of the Western powers.\nBy 1913, the British occupied Burma, Malaya and the Borneo territories, the French controlled Indochina, consisting of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. \nthe Dutch ruled the Netherlands East Indies while Portugal managed to hold on to Portuguese Timor. In the Philippines, Filipino revolutionaries declared independence from Spain in 1898 but was handed over to the United States despite protests as a result of the Spanish-American War.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Now I’d like all of you to try to answer the following question. We’re going to do this in pair. Please make a list, talk to your partner for a few minutes. Give a presentation\n
European had various motives for imperialism. There was a motive for national security. European nations wanted to remain strong so they believed that they needed to have a strong industrial economy, a steady supply for raw materials for the industrial economy, and a strong military to protect economy interest. \n
There was a strategic advantage where imperialist countries didn’t want others to get ahead of them \n
There was also a Nationalism motive where people felt proud when their country ruled a large empire\n
There was a motive in social darwinism, which is based on racism. European countries believed that they were superior to the people they colonized so it’s ok for them to rule others. \n
There was also religious motive. People from European countries wanted to spread their religion to people in other parts of the world. \nThey also want to bring modern inventions and technology to these people to make their lives better. \n
There was a strong industrial economy motive. European wanted to get not only raw materials but also want to take advantage of cheap labors from colonies\n
Let’s find out. i would like you to conduct a small research on the following questions. \n\n
After that you are going to give a five minutes presentation based on those questions using PowerPoint program. Your presentation should include pictures or map for better understanding of audiences where appropriate.\n
