"Berlin Cenference 1885." Berlin Cenference 1885. N.p., n.d. Web. 12 Nov. 2013. <http:// www.africafederation.net/Berlin_1885.htm>.

This site includes primary sources such as land treaties as well as first-hand accounts of African and European reactions to the colonization of Africa. These sources were very helpful because they provide different perspectives of peoples thoughts on European imperialism of Africa, which will be useful in our project.

"Berlin Conference 1884 1885." Berlin Conference 1884 1885. N.p., n.d. Web. 12 Nov. 2013. <http://www.cabinda.net/Berlin_Conference.htm>.

This source includes the primary source documents, the Convention Revising the General Act of Berlin (February 26, 1885) and the General Act and Declaration of Brussels (July 2,1890) which gave the European nations free trade and transportation throughout Africa. Furthermore, it states the countries controlling the African lands are responsible for watching over the natives, improving their lives, morals, and the suppression of slavery. These will be very helpful in our project, because we can use them to compare what European countries were supposed to do and what actually occurred as a result of the Berlin Conference.

"Example of Stanley's Congo Treaties." Example of Stanley's Congo Treaties. N.p., n.d. Web. 1 Jan. 2014. <http://www.urome.be/fr2/ouvrag/treat.pdf>.

This primary source contains articles from Henry M. Stanleys Congo treaties, which he wrote for King Leopold of the Congo Free State. In these treaties, which were signed, witnessed and agreed to, he made promises to only take land by mutual agreement, create prosperity, and protect the African natives. We will use this in our project because the Europeans did not follow any of these, and we will use it to compare what should have happened with what actually happened.

"Internet History Sourcebooks." Internet History Sourcebooks. N.p., n.d. Web. 01 Jan. 2014. <http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1902hobson.asp>.

This source was written by John Hobson who witnessed European imperialism of Africa, Europes changes because of it, and the lack of interest regarding the effect on Africa. We will use this source in our project because it deeply describes the causes and effects of imperialism, which we will be discussing in our project, as well as why and how it is imperialism in Africa.

This source is based upon the movie Blood Diamond, which describes life in African diamond mines and the poor treatment of workers. We will use it to link the exploitation of Africans to problems in Africa today. We will analyze the harsh conditions the Africans experienced due to imperialism and how they are still suffering today.

This primary source document is an account of many abuses in King Leopolds Congo Free State due to European imperialism, recorded by E.D. Morel.

This document is a letter from King Leopold II of the Congo Free State to the prime minister, in which he expressed his primary desire of using Africa to benefit Belgium. He said it was his duty to help the second rank humanity and use Africa to his advantage. We will use this in our project to support that Europeans believed it was their responsibility as the superior race to develop Africa and they believed they had a right to Africa.
