The African Problem and the Peace Settlement
'The African Problem and the Peace Settlement' Summary
"The African Problem and the Peace Settlement" is a book written by Edmund Dene Morel, a British journalist, author, and human rights activist. The book was first published in 1919 and focuses on the aftermath of World War I and the peace settlements that followed, particularly in relation to the colonial policies of European powers in Africa.
In the book, Morel argues that the colonial policies of European powers towards Africa were unjust and exploitative. He criticizes the actions of European powers, particularly Belgium, France, and Germany, in their colonization of Africa and exploitation of its people and resources. Morel also analyzes the role of the British government in these policies and their reluctance to challenge the actions of other European powers.
The book is significant as it was one of the earliest works to bring attention to the issue of colonialism and its impact on Africa. Morel was a prominent figure in the anti-colonial movement and his work was influential in shaping public opinion in Britain and elsewhere. His advocacy led to the establishment of the Congo Reform Association and the eventual recognition of the atrocities committed by King Leopold II of Belgium in the Congo Free State.
Overall, "The African Problem and the Peace Settlement" is an important historical document that sheds light on the attitudes of European powers towards Africa during the early 20th century. It provides insight into the colonial policies of European powers and their impact on African societies and economies. The book remains relevant today as it highlights the ongoing legacy of colonialism and its effects on African countries.
