Jules Ferry: On French Colonial Expansion

Author - Ferry is a French politician and Republican, from French Prime Minister from 1880 to 1881, French Prime Minister from 1883 to 1885. He remembered that he did not like the influence on the education of the Catholic Church, and strongly promoted the expansion of the French colonial empire.

Background - It was announced on the second wave of the Industrial Revolution from "French House Speech on March 28, 1884". He witnessed the liberalism and nationalism that appeared in France, and the era of national construction in various countries. The French war broke out in 1884 and France fought with China in Vietnam.

Language - written in a very clear and systematic way. I asked a lot of questions to his audience and wrote in a persuasive and influential tone

Intention - his intention is to inspire France to surpass countries that are less powerful, with attention to the responsibilities of the dominant race, but to recognize the new forces surrounding them

News - His message contains his views on French power and his firm belief in the expansion of the colonial era. He insists that the dominant race rights and obligations civilize other inferior races, which will allow France to use the economy. He said that expansion is necessary, because it will give French an important port and supply center that it needs during the war. A great country can only work through the action they take and France needs to actively participate in things around them to become a great country.

Founded in 1892, the French Senate research committee was led by former Prime Minister Jules Ferry, which supports the expansion of the colonial era. The government encouraged to abandon the promised policy without making major changes to French law. You can meet the needs of residential areas. Approximately 2 million Europeans and 4 million Muslims. Until 1945 Muslims had no delegation at the French National Assembly, and the number of local council representatives was not bad enough. Due to the many restrictions imposed by the authorities, by 1915 only 50,000 Muslims were eligible to vote for civil society elections. The local government of Algeria led by one colon and 27 colonial members of the National Assembly (6 members of parliament and 3 senators in each department) to prevent attempts to carry out the smallest reform But I postponed.

In their application to the working class of Europe, they existed in urban cities in some form or fashion since the American Revolution and the French Revolution. However, former French colonial minister Jules Ferri explained that the French Revolution is not representative of blacks in Africa. Bourgeois's freedom, equality and fraternity are not subjects of colonial times. Africans must use bayonets, riots, and gunboats. So far, this discussion aims to show that the benefits of colonialism are small and not gifts from colonialists. But mostly it is the result of Africa's labor and resources. Indeed, the so-called "development of Africa" ​​by colonialists is an ironic short expression that "colonial exploitation in Africa has intensified the development of capitalism Europe".

The introduction of Christianity and French culture to promote the world to French standards is a moral mission. In 1884, Jules Ferry declared that major supporters of colonialism had declared; "Higher races have rights to lower races, they are responsible for civilizing inferior races ". Civil rights - assimilation - despite the fact that assimilation always allows colonial population to be treated as a thing rather than a citizen. France dispatched a small number of settlers to the empire In contrast to Britain and former Spain and Portugal, Algeria is the only remarkable exception, but French settlers are still a minority.
