Even primary and secondary schools were being built to better the German education. To keep Germany safer and cleaner, many hospitals were being set up. On an important note, the Maxim Gun was used in Germany’s favor. They used this against the Africans whoand they did not have this advanced of technology. The downsides to Imperializing Southwest Africa is that when Germany made a treaty with some countries in East Africa, Germany did not get all of the land that they desired. Germany had much more power over Africa. Imperialism is great for the world. It would not be like it is today if Imperialism did not shape it how it is currently. Some examples is that Ethiopia has gained lots of weapons. On the other hand, the United States got a lot of technology. Those are just two countries that Imperialism has been a

positive impact on them. There are many more such as the Panama Canal and the Ottoman Empire. To add, Ethiopia has more trades with ivory today. As a result, Germany has gained lots of land, raw materials, and weapons.

The result of this was Germany winning the Togo. They gained their land that they won rightfully so. Many other treaties were made with parts of East Africa. With all of this land being gained, raw materials were being gathered. This absolutely benefitted Germany. One major weapon was the Maxim Gun. Africans did not have as advanced technology as Germany. The lack of advanced technology included weapons. The Maxim Guns were almost nonexistent in Africa because there are so few of them. In fact, in one battle, the Africans used rocks, stones, and their bare

hands.

Additionally, Germany has helped by creating more technology and transportation. Another example is that the Ottoman Empire has gained cash crops. Other countries have made new roads and more advanced weapons were being given to countries that have been imperialized.
