Imperializm Cartoon

The main visual elements to this cartoon are there is a large foot print on the nation of Africa which seems to have made the ground under it like a desert or unusable and unwanted. I feel this cartoon is trying to tell us that what the European countries did in Africa was wrong and was unhelpful as if the foot print Europe made was devastating and wrong. I think the cartoonist views are they are against what Europe did.
I think he or she feels this way because the foot print seems to be doing something bad to the country. I also think the cartoonist could have shown the shoe that made the print leaving with a lot of resources stuck to the bottom of the shoe.
