Sarah FINAL PAPER
One of the historic problems in the world was imperialism and as a result, people in France are being separated and immigrants were being killed in the housing projects. Discrimination is an effect of immigration. In France they were discriminating by trying to put all people in one category, but they are against it because this says “France assumes that all colors, races and creeds will blend into a single people. The situation in the suburban housing projects goes against this model.” In France it was illegal to do that. Consequently, in schools some students ignored the moment of silence and “Many in the suburbs of Paris said they understood why some children did not observe the moment of silence, even though they were

China was benefiting more than Africa because China got 210 billion in trade while African nations were losing raw materials. In an article by Al-Jazeera Howard French says imperial powers do. They build ports so that they can send their goods to the country, in so that they can export from the country to their markets.” This quote shows China just wants to take over African nations for natural resources to make manufactured goods. Another reason China is “winning” is because China was getting the Africans jobs, was getting money, and building infrastructure like roads. “Howard French says “Jobless Africans detest the fact that work that they should be doing is going to foreigners. But their hands are tied there is nothing or little they can do about this.” Africans were losing jobs and were getting poor infrastructure from the Chinese. Africans also couldn’t get jobs because the Chinese would only hire Chinese people to do all the work. The African countries did not have the money or natural resources, and the Chinese would get money in natural resources. Therefore, China has an advantage while African nations have a …show more content…
A terrorist group called ISIS is trying to erase history by burning books and destroying historic buildings and artifacts. A history professor at the University of Mosul said “the Islamic State group appears determined to "change the face of this city." It has set out to erase the city 's history and destroy many of its best-known buildings,” ISIS’s goal is to change the city to have only their religion. An example would be when they burned libraries they only kept some Islamic texts because ISIS believed they disobeyed Allah.

    In my opinion, the more important area to control was inside the French Empire. He already controlled most of Europe, and if he didn't focus on what he already had, the people in the French Empire would angry that he was neglecting the people who stuck by his side. Also, if he had controlled more of Europe, he wouldn't be able to control his other countries. By 1812, the only parts of Europe not under his control were Britain, Portugal, Sweden, and the Ottoman Empire. Besides the French Empire he controlled many small, independent countries including Spain, the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, and multiple German Kingdoms in Middle Europe.…

    The feeling of superiority allowed countries to believe that they were more worthy of expansion than others and that their culture was meant to be spread. Technology created during the Industrial Revolution granted Europe dominance over African countries, allowing the latter to be defeated quickly by the former. The incentive of new markets in colonies and the possibility for prospering economies drove European countries to compete against each other for more African land. All of these factors helped create worldwide empires and establish countries who are to this day considered to be the superpowers of the modern…

During this time, the Committee of Public Safety executed thousands of internal “enemies of the revolution” (“Report in the Name,” 47). Although many argue otherwise, The Terror was not a perversion of the original ideals of the revolution because the ideals of the revolution were to gain more equality for the people of France, and the punishments that occurred were necessary and the cultural changes, in fact, benefited the citizens. As seen through the voices of the Third Estate and its supporters, one of the fundamental goals of the French Revolution was to gain equality and freedom for citizens. In the Town of…

    European nations found themselves in a scramble for political power and economic wealth nearing the beginning of the 1880s. The industrial revolution’ boom spurred European nations to search for new markets and raw materials to satisfy and grow their economies. The number of European colonies a nation owned symbolized their political power over other nations, therefore creating a political desire for power and possession of colonies within Europe. Many Europeans were also driven to civilize the barbaric African people and the backwardness of their societies. The motivations for the Age of Imperialism were constituted by an exploration for new economic opportunities, a hunger for political power, and the idea of social superiority of European…

The colonial authorities still used armed forces for "pacification," campaigns, tax collectibles, and labor recruitment. Local collaborators were turned into chiefs and given arbitrary powers that they would not have had under indigenous political systems. Concessionary companies continued to use force to recruit labor for their plantations and mines.…

    The country of France was most concerned about its close boundaries to Germany. The militaristic nation of Germany would continue to pose a threat to not only France but all of the allies if the French border was not spread further and if the reconstruction of Germany was not decentralized. Rhineland, the western border between Germany and France, should be occupied by France, so the nation has an additional 30 miles of militaristic cover from another potential invasion. Furthermore, decentralizing Germany’s national government would decrease the risk of an invasion. The article states, “To achieve this end [of no future invasions], political power in the new Germany must be decentralized and located in the individual Länder (states) that make…

    Politically, European imperialism created tremendous conflict among African people, expanded Europe’s colonial boundaries by carving up Africa, and attempted to restructure society, only to leave Africa’s political structure weak and corrupt. Economically, European imperialism destructed Africa’s self sufficiency and increased dependance on colonial powers; strengthened Europe’s own economy, therefore further weakening Africa’s economy; and exploited many raw materials within Africa. Culturally, European imperialism uprooted Africa’s spiritual and traditional values, exploited the people of Africa, and prompted colonial racism.
