- in both situations, the british highly valued the African and Indian continents for their natural resources, such as gold, diamonds, and rubber in Africa, and jute, coal, and cotton in India
- On both continents, there was discontent among the locals because the British did not treat them with respect, for example the Boer War in Africa, and the Sepoy revolt in India

- Laborers forced to work for almost no pay, also mutilated and beaten by their overseers
- Sepoys were arrested after refusing to bite open gunpowder packets greased with cow & pig fat
