During the Modern Era, the technological edge of the West was significantly substantial: the West, as a result of industrialization, had at its disposal various technological “tools” that made imperialism possible: machine guns and artillery, steamships and gunboats, railroads, telegraphs, and modern medicine, to name a few. The societies of Afro-Eurasia would likely have been able to repel Western imperialism had it not been for these tools. “Nor is violent physical opposition to abuse and injustice henceforth possible for the African in any part of Africa. His changes of effective resistance have been steadily dwindling with the increasing perfectibility in the killing power of modern armament. Thus Africa is really helpless against the material gods of the white man, as embodied in the trinity of imperialism, capitalistic exploitation, and militarism.”
