Immigration isn’t a brand new topic that we are facing in the world. It something that has been present in the world since the defining of “nations” as people move from one location to another for a multitude of reasons.

Dubbed the Age of Imperialism, the 17th-20th century was a time of immense growth and expansion, during which the majority of European states sought to extend their influence and wealth through the expansion of their territories overseas. The promise of economic growth and prestige encouraged European nations to expand their territories. However, eventually the European powers turned on each other to enlarge their own empires. Imperialism began with the division of the African continent between…

In King Leopold's Ghost, Hoschild imparts to his pursuers the new story of King Leopold of Belgium's abuse of the Congo and the shocking wrongdoings submitted against mankind for practical and political reasons. The writer's objective in this book was to bring attention to what occurred. Hoschild demonstrates to us that a great deal of history as we probably are aware is that it is one-sided and white washed. Ordinarily history is wrote or observed by the individuals who are in control and their…

tactics, new weaponry, and advanced machinery. Germany’s national interest was to develop an advanced army that rivaled Great Britain, this would prove to be one of the reasons of the outbreak of a large scale war. The newly unified Germany by Otto von Bismarck meant that they did not have the benefits that the other European powers had, the lack of colonies throughout Europe meant that they would be economically inferior to other countries. Germany’s economic inferiority rallied for the support…

upcoming of the bible can be a little sketchy. Blacks were given a bible to obey from the people that controlled them in the United States. This is similar to the situation that happened during The Berlin Africa Conference in 1884-5. The Excerpt from Bismarck, Europe, and Africa: The berlin Africa Conference 1884-1885 and the Onset of Partition text state that European powers started the beginning of partition in Africa. During this time countries such as Britain, Portuguese, France, and Germany…

(Spielvogel and McTighe 231). European powers were iFn constant rivalries because each of them wanted the continent to their advantage. As these conflicts started to rise, Portugal called for the Berlin Conference of 1884, which was organized by Otto Von Bismarck, to peacefully divide up the continent of Africa (Spielvogel and Mctighe 233-234).

As non- renewable resources are becoming scarce over time, countries like the United States are increasingly resorting to use their natural resources domestically. Such is the case in the controversial building of the North Dakota Access Pipeline which recently got the green light by an executive order administered by President Trump.

With a well crafted economic policy, Germany's economic growth led to an increase in power. As a result, they were the model to look up to for industrialization:…

The short story written by Shirley Jackson is a haunting tale inspired by the events following the discovery of concentration camps during the Second World War, and showcases the importance of thinking for one’s self. The Lottery has a folksy tone, a group of small villagers gathering together for a community event, no different than a dance or holiday event. The Villagers draw out of a box until one is eventually found the winner, and stoned to-death. The event of deciding who dies is not…
