Introduction
The statement "Ironically, European exploration of and expansion into the African
continent was often motivated by moral outrage against slavery" is a complex and
controversial one. On the surface, it suggests that the same European nations
responsible for the brutal exploitation and enslavement of African people were also driven
by a sense of moral righteousness in their actions. However, this statement raises
questions about the true motivations behind European exploration and expansion in
Africa and the deep-seated contradictions within the European colonial project. In this
essay, I will critically examine this statement, exploring the historical context of European
exploration and expansion into Africa, the role of slavery in shaping European attitudes
and policies, and the interconnectedness of moral outrage and imperialist ambitions in
the European colonial project.
