I believe that the facts given this book are true.

All the facts in this book have a in text siltation of either real slaves, slave owners or trusted libraries like the library of the Congress. If the facts were not true then he would site real people.

Also in the end of the book their is full bibliography of all the sources.

Thirdly most of the sources are trustworthy like The Library of the congress.

A lot of the facts are correct because they appear in many other sites and books.
For example the part that in a ship transporting the slaves it was so crowded that they could'nt stand is true.

POwers of the wORLD

In the powers of the world game Ju and I were the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the bigging we were very small and weak. But our main tactic was purchasing industries and colonies. So soon we had lots of economic points and then we got a big army by the end we had the second biggest army. But in the last war we lost all our armies and most of industries. In the end our empire was weak. But the experience of building the empire was still very fun. Although all are very important for a successful empire I think colonies and industries are important. With these you can make lots of money and then later buy armies. What did well buying our armies we got lots of them and we were very powerful. What we could have done better is to make more allies because at the end we only had one. We had one good alliance with G.B which we both stuck to the end.

I learned that building your own empire strong means making other ones weak. Or else they will crush you . Also a peace treaty means nothing when it comes to war. They are broken and bonded with the blink of an eye. Thirdly i learned that when you have a opportunity attack you should waste it. we did and that led to our loss

My old and new goals Q3

My main goal is still to improve my writing as their is still space for improvement their.

Also my grammar goal still remains as we have not consultated that yet in class.

If I were to think of a third goal it would to improve my teamwork ability. For the I.R display I got a partner who I didn't like very much. So I had some arguments with that person and in the end we got a bad grade.

The three goals above were the ones I made for Q2

The first goal I have not met much yet because my average grade for writing was bad. Also my research paper grade was bad.

The second goal remains because we have not attended to grammar at all in this quarter.

As for the teamwork I have got any partner I do not like in humanities. But in some other classes i have and I generally get along with them fine.

My new goal would be:
To continue to improve my writing

To improve my oral skills

To improve grammar and spelling

Hotel rwanda

Before this happened all the countries seemed to have a fine relation with Rwanda. But when Rwanda's need was dire, they turned their backs. The U.N people took out all the foreign nationals and went away. even the U.N left this shows how selfish we are. How are we different from animals? Do we actually deserve what we get? Is this what humanity has come to?

The Scramble for Africa

France = Blue
Great Britain = Red
Germany=Black
Belgium=Yellow
Spain=Orange
Netherlands=Purple
Portugal=Green

In our scramble for Africa session it could be argued that Great Britain and France won. This because they had strategic land as well as lots of land.

The losers would be either Belgium or spain because they had very few strategic areas and very barely any squares of land.

I noticed that during the game we never thought of what Africans might want, we just got what we wanted. Just like that when imperialism occured in Africa no one cared what the Africans wanted. So the real winners were the Europeans and the real losers were the Africans!

A Thought Provoking Step in Africa

The main visual elements are obviously the foot step and the shape of Africa. Also the parched land in the area of the footstep is a visual element.
The issue this picture represents is the effect of European imperialism on Africa. It has a negative attitude towards imperialism. The footstep in Europe's footprint. It shows that imperialism has left left a permanent mark on Africa. Up to this point the picture gives no view of imperialism. What makes it negative is the parched land inside the footprint. The parched land shows that the Europeans have taken every thing away from them. Their natural resources, traditions, and religions. As nothing is left behind the land is parched, barren, wasteland. The author also chose black as the color for Africa. This was to show the racist discrimination in Europe. Africa was called by the Europeans the dark land.
If I were to emphasize to meaning of this I would make more footprints with parched land to show that the effect was even worse.
But in my own view I would not agree with the message the picture conveys. Their were also some countries in Africa which experienced a positive side of imperialism. Like my research country, Tanzania which experienced a overall positive side of imperialism.
