    These countries that are affected are in absolute poverty without access to the most basic human needs. David Suzuki's is slightly biased in his opinion about the access to clean water. Since he is an environmentalist and is concerned about the state of other countries, he exaggerated the statistic of people who don't have access to clean water to a larger reaction out of people. The larger the number the more serious people will be about the situation.

    During the 18th century, France possessed the colony known to them as Saint Domingue, an island in the Caribbean Sea. Possessing valuable resources and optimal conditions for growing expensive crops such as sugar, France dedicated much of their money into this little island, allowing Saint Domingue to become the wealthiest colony in this time period. However, the Haitian slaves revolted against the French colonial rulers, resulting in the first complete successful slave rebellion in history. However, the cost of the war, natural disasters, and a French "independence tax" crippled the former colony, leading to an almost instantaneous decline in the country's wealth and prosperity. Today, Haiti has the shameful title of the poorest country…

    Government: European involvement in Africa was unbeatably imperialism. Once can be so certain of this due to the manner in which Europe interacted with the African people and their endowed resources. This profound interaction can definitely be described as imperialism especially because European powers created an incredibly disparate economic situation in Africa through striking fear into African lives—making them obey by force, or die. Although European powers reasoned their motives in intervening in Africa by describing the Three Cs (spreading Christianity, commerce, and civilization). The Three Cs were drawn up at this time during the Belgium Conference in 1876 that was established in order to coordinate African division.…
