Civilization: Is the West History? - Season 1 - Episode 4 - Modern Medicine
Niall Ferguson looks at how late 19th-century advances in modern medicine made it possible to export Western civilization to the 'Dark Continent': Africa.
The French Empire consciously set out to civilize West Africa by improving public health as well as building a modern infrastructure. Yet in other European empires - notably Germany's in southwest Africa - colonial rule led to genocide. What was the link from medical science to racial pseudo-science?
The imperialists talked of their civilizing mission, but their rivalry ultimately caused world wars that endangered the West's global dominance.
Today, have Western aid agencies learned lessons from the past? Or is China in the process of building a new African empire?
