Imperialism in Africa

Today I chose to read about British imperialism in Africa. It seems that the British are very interested in their own financial gain and this is what drives every decision they make in Africa. Britain has had several colonies in South Africa, Egypt, and anywhere that has resources. To look morally conscious they stopped the slave trade in South Africa and even the one in Zanzibar. they have done much to protect the Suaz Canal that goes through Egypt because it is a prime route to get to their colony India. In South Africa the British have exploited diamond mines since the first colonized the region long ago. article here
