Introduction
As you learned in the last unit, the Industrial Revolution, as it traveled from England across Europe, brought about a need for new markets, more cash capital, and raw materials that could not be produced in the small, but powerful, nations of Europe. Since Germany and Italy, as newly unified nations, had not been engaged in empire building as long as other European nations had, they also wanted a piece of the action. However, Italy would not be as successful as Germany in the scramble for land in Africa. What African nation would defeat Italian attempts to colonize it and remain independent? Be sure to know the answer to this question because you will see it on your test.
