Imperialism Cartoon

The main visuals in this cartoon are map of africa in black, and a foot step, and on that foot print, there is a desert like, dry land surface. i think this cartoon is about European countries taking control over africa, and where they have been, the land is dried. and in real life, i think after Europeans have been to Africa, they have made it worse. and i don't think that the authors thoughts are positive, because there were things that the Europeans brought to africa to help, but in the drawing, it is kind of a negative sign. because the foot print is i think the Europeans' and it dried off the land. and i think it is persuasive because it is simple, and doesn't have anything else which possibly could distract the main point the author is trying to say.
