AP European History
Unit 7 – 19th Century Perspectives and Political Developments
Topic 7.6
What common theme can be observed in France’s approach to colonial rule in Algeria (1830-1962) and Spain’s treatment of South American colonies during the Age of Discovery?
Both pursued a strategy of rapid decolonization after a short period of rule.
The exploitation and suppression of native populations were central aspects in both cases.
A policy centered around peaceful coexistence with native peoples characterized both situations.
The establishment of democratic institutions in these colonies was a primary focus for both European powers.
