The Cold War Book Questions: first the house would have had radiation, then the house was hit by a heat way that is more than one million degree. Then the house would be shredded into pieces as shown, because of the blast wave. The blast wave traves with a force of around 200 tonnes in the speed of 300km/h wind. if a whole city was to be hit by a explosion like that, then it would destroy the whole city leaving not but dust and even no trace of humanity. As well as the surrounding city would suffer with extreme burns and exposure to radiation. It would ruin the country in which that city is in as there would be thousands of deaths and casualties.
 * A. Look at the photographs opposite.**
 * 1. Describe in your own words what happened to this house.**
 * 2. Use your imagination to describe what would happen if a whole town was hit by an explosion like this**

These people wanted the government to 'ban the bomb' because they realised that those bombs could kill everything in its way, also they realise the danger of their world disappearing in matter of seconds. In the short term they understood that if the bombs were to be tested and being increased, then it could harm the atmosphere, seriously damage the environment in all parts of the world and those people who live near those people who live near the area of the nuclear test. answer There are a wide range of people in CND who wanted to 'ban the bomb' because these bombs does not effect only particular people but everyone in all age group. Whether they are a child, a teenager, adult or a elderly, the bombs would effect every human being as they these bombs could destroy the whole world. It is harmful to everyone in this planet even animals.
 * B. Look at the photograph above.**
 * 1.Why do you think these people wanted to government to 'ban the bomb'?**
 * 2.The picture shows that men and women, young and old, want to 'ban the bomb'. Why do you think there was such a wide range of people in CND?**

On chapter 7 there were many arguments agains the banning of bombs. Frirst when Eisenhower ordered the 'new look', which is the defence policy. It is the making of so many nuclear weapons that the USA could answer any soviet threat with 'massive retaliation.' There also was the bomber gap and the missile gap. They didn't want the USSR to catch up to the USA with their number of bombers or missiles, this they made more and more missiles and bombs in order to out run the USSR and creating a gap. In addition when Kennedy became president, he dropped the Eisenhower's policy of deterrence and enforce MAD(Mutually Assured Destruction), which would be a 'balance of terror'. However MAD was quickly overtaken by two new development first the ABMs (Anti-Ballistic Missiles) which intercepted ICBM. Then MIRV(Multiple independently targeted re-entry vehicle) which could carry more than one missile. The project ABM and ICBM were part of the NUTS(Nuclear Utilisation Targeting Strategy). This all add up to say that the government wanted to protect the people from USSR and thus had no choice but to continue in making bombs, trying to be better than USSR. Besides what citizen doesn't want their country to be the best?
 * C. Look back to chapter 7 on pages 16-17. What arguments were there against banning nuclear weapons?**

Text book Reading and Chart:

Video and paragraph answer: I think that the most significant even out of the following would be first person in space. This is because it shows a great leap of the human technology. Going into space was almost science fiction, a myth. However when the USSR launched the first satellite in space the 'Race of Space' started between the US and the USSR. The US couldn't believe that the USSR launch the first satellite in space before them. They tried harder to have the first man on space, yet they were still a step behind. The USSR managed to fly a cosmonaut into space. This was a sign to the rest of the world that the technology has advanced heaps, as the USSR was able to get the first person in space. Now, it was only a matter of time for the people to go up onto the moon or other planets. Thus when the US had the first person to step on the moon, it wasn't a greater leap into mankind as it was already excepted, only thing people weren't expecting was the fact that it was the US who had the first person in space because, so far the USSR was winning the 'Race for Space' until the US reached the moon. Even though having the first person on the moon is a significant event it doesn't make it the most significant event. = = = = = =

 * Creating a Venn Diagram:**

After WWII

I think that it was completely fair for the Allies to try only Nazi and Japanese leaders for war crimes. This is because, even in many other countries there war crimes committed, for example, the Soviet Union, when they worked with the Axis power at the start of the war or Mussolini. However these countries shouldn't be punished but Germany and Japan should because first of all, Japan and Germany were the ones who actually started the war, thus had to pay for all the damages that they have cost. As well as the fact that if the Allies were to locate where each and every leaders of other countries that would cost money, because you would be sending people to find them and those people would have to be paid. Also then they would be going to against human rights, as there will be mass execution. Thus the Allies power should only punish the ones who led the Axis power which is Germany and Japan. =

= =Class 46: 14 May 2012= Holocaust Survivor Videos:

I feel very angry that the twins were used as experiment. However what made me more annoyed was that they had to look like they wanted to get experimented on, and they had to look healthy in order to survive. What fear can these people stick into the hearts and eyes of children, they had no idea, what they are going to do to them. They didn't know if their were ever going to see their mother again. It also made me sad that, even if other women who had survive the Holocaust had to suffer after the war, as because they were experimented on they could not have a family of their own.
 * Twins:**

I felt bad for the brother, he was so young, and he had to make that decision of giving his life in order to save another. He was stripped naked and beaten up by the Germans. And boy was he proud. However none of this helped as the whole family as taken away by the Germans anyway. Women and children had to get off at a different place. Thus his mum gave him a photo of her to remind him that she is always there. Yet, he does not remember his mum giving him a kiss, hug or anything. The worst part of the holocaust was that, not only did it give, pain, fear, torture and loss to the people but it also ripped out the ably to love, cry or laugh from the people. It is the most horrible thing that a human can go through. How much pain does one have to be in order to become a psychopath? To loss all feeling? It is horrendous.
 * Brothers:**

This video disgusted me. Not only was he in that horrendous camp, but he was forced to watch people die for the fun of the soldiers. However soon enough, he also lost all his feelings, he was now used to seeing people die...No matter how many times I have seen people die in movies and film, it still terrifies me to think about watching someone actually die or getting killed. And the worst part was that one day, his day would come, that one day one of those soldiers could just kill him for fun. And in order for him to survive he had to fight for it in order for one to survive meant that the other had to die. He knew that even a little piece bread or a sip of soup can help him stand up. Till this day he questions why was it that he survived and the others had to die. At times he felt that he didn't deserve to live, thus he joined the army to build a strong country and a strong army to make sure this kind of even didn't have to ever happen again.
 * Mordecai Eldar:**

This video was I think I think the most dreadful story. The fact there there were 5 crematoria that burnt night and day, but so many people were transported at time that they couldn't fit in the crematoria that they took little children, I repeat children and thrown them into pits and burnt them...Alive. People including herself and her sister were so sick that they could barely move. They had to drag each other to work. I also can't believe these young children waited for death everyday, for 3 years. Thus making the fear of dying at any given moment the worst experience for her during the holocaust. The pain and the memory was so clear that it is hard to believe that she has a normal life now. I feel so bad for these people because they have to go through life, with pain and sorrow deep down in their heart even after the war is over.
 * Zanne Farbstein:**

Like any other video I felt sad by hearing his story about him and his brother. Most people found the death of their family the worst part of the war, or losing hope, but he felt had a different memory about the war that was particular sad. He felt guilt that he didn't give his brother some cake on Christmas day, which shows the strong family bond and the need of family during the holocaust however he never really cried when his family died. I think that he condition that he was in could have been one of the best as he attended school and was able to learn something.
 * Yaakov Hollander:**

Her story, I must say was the most heart-touching story. She was transported from camp to camp to bury the bodies that the soldiers have murdered. Near the end it reached a point where she didn't really care about freedom. she was extremely sick and skinny. She thought that after this experience no one could ever love her, and when she returned to her uncle she heard that her whole family was died, this was the worst part of the war. Because she saw so many people and children die that she decided to become a midwife. She believes that bringing life into the world was an ultimate gift, the greatest joy of her life. What I like about her is that she was inspired to do greater good after the war, she is passionate about her work and believes in it. She really inspired me.
 * Sophie Engelsman:**

This story mad me feel anger as well She was 16, when she was taken away. She wondered why she was taken away when it was a clear Allies victory, as she read in the news about D-Day and so on. Her family were all separated into different camps. In her camp there were no water, no food, and just a bucket for toilet use. Soon she was tattooed a number, which meant that she no longer had an identity, she was now a number. I think that is really sad, to experience the the fact that you have lost your identity one of the only thing is yours forever. I can't come close to image myself losing my identity, that is like losing everything that I believe in. = = 10/10 =

= =Class 45: 13 May 2012= __Guided Reading:__ A battle that happen on October 1944, in the Philippines, the Japanese navy lost within four days. Thus causing Japan to lose all of its power disastrously, Germany lost one of its greatest supporter.
 * 8. Battle of Leyte Gulf**

A battle that took place on April 1945, An island near Japan called Okinawa. The Japanese put up a desperate fight, which ended on June 1945. This was one of the bloodies land battle of the war. This war had a lot of casualties, more Japanese soldiers died than Americans.
 * 9. Battle of Okinawa**

On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Then on August 9, a second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. After this even Japan finally surrendered.
 * 10.Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki**

__Skill builder/Interpreting Chart and Document Based Questions:__
 * Cost of WWII: Allies and Axis**
 * 1.**The USSR suffered the greatest human costs as they lost more than 2 million people.
 * 2.**The US spend way more money on the war than Japan and Germany did.


 * Military Casualties, Word War I and World War II**
 * 1.** I think that numerous factors could have cause for WWII to have more Casualties than WWI. As the years past each nation has found a better way to kill each other in a more efficient way. The greatest invention was the the atomic bomb. It killed almost everyone in the city of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Also the way the government killed its own people would have caused more casualties, csuch as Germany, they killed thousands of Jews. And lastly, theses battles in WWII effect life for the civilians, unlike any other war. Thus creating more and more deaths.


 * Displaced Persons**
 * 1.** These polish refugees, left almost all of their belongs behind, and cramped in this small hotel with with thousands of other people, with bad living conditions. And even worst, some were separated form their family.

 * Internment Camps**
 * 1.** The photograph looks like there is a barrier between the American soldiers and the Japanese, considering the distance between them. Thus making the Japanese seem dangerous, therefore causing a long line of soldiers to stand watch their every move. It also look as if they are like prisoners all waiting to go get onboard to get shipped to their cell.

 * Will be handed in as Hard copy**

Video and answer: The Hollywood dramatisation and the documentary has conveyed the same history so differently. While the Hollywood film focuses on the actual battle at the seaside of Normandy, the documentary focused on the the liberation of Europe. I think the each clip had a different purpose conveying out the history. I think that the Hollywood film was, as I said to focus on the Battle where it cause many casualties for the Allies but in the end brought them victory. The Hollywood movie clip made me feel like I was experiencing what was happening and made me feel like I was actually there as I saw many people die, the shooting, the booming, and even people crying and running and hiding for their life. I think this Hollywood clip had a greater impact on the views. On the other hand the documentary was more informative, with its purpose of telling and informing what happened then making the viewers understand how it was like to be there during the war or how dreadful the war was. Even when it did include some primary sources, those sources didn't show the hard part of the war. It moreover showed what was going during the Liberation of Europe. It showed how much the soldiers were respected and how thankful each and every person was.Even though I saw all those buildings crushed and crumbled down, it didn't make me feel sad as much as the Hollywood video. Thus because I believe that these videos serve different services, they are very different from each other while conveying the same history. I don't think the other is more true than he other as well because they showed the same history in different ways and for different purposes for the viewers. I think both videos are evenly "true".
 * How is the same history conveyed so differently in these two videos? Which do you think is more "ture": the Hollywood dramatization or the documentary?**

= =Class 43: 7 May 2012= I think that Japanese internment was really unfair because as in the video and the reading, all these family were taken away from their homes and forced to go to these internment camps. They only had few days to pack their belongings and leave there home with only 2 bags. It was an unfair treatment to the Japanese-Americans. These people has done nothing wrong but was hated by the US just because of where they were from. It wasn't like the camps were even in a good conditions. They had terrible food and shelter, even though where all the Japanese were called camps it was more like a jail. They were locked in and weren't allowed to come out; high walls and barbed wires made sure no one got out once they were in. The soldiers walk around to see if there isn't anything fishy going on, or they were up in the tower watching every move of the Japanese. Some even died in those camps. I also find that these camps were unfair because it even forced children to go into these camps, when the reason for having these camps was to make sure there aren't any Japanese spies. Therefore even though america had a reason to capture all these Japanese people I do not think that it is fair to treat them the way they did. They have done nothing wrong than to support American while being born as a Japanese. In addition even after the Japanese were sent back out of camp the neighbours treated them badly and for years people disrespected the Japanese people.
 * My Opinion on the fairness or unfairness of Japanese internment:**

1. War time Propaganda
 * **What war time images do you recognise from your study of the war?**
 * I recognised many nazi symbols during the the cartoon such as on the drum, uniform the things that Donal Duck was making. I also recognised Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito. I saw the nazi uniform worn by the nazi soldiers as well as them marching in a straight line as well as the higher positioned solider introducing Donal Duck to Mein Kampf.
 * **What are some messages of this cartoon?**
 * I think the message of this cartoon was; how hard it was to live as a Nazi but no one was able to complain, like Donal Duck. You can see that Donal Duck was annoyed by his face expression and the way he talked however continued working so he won't face the casualties. At the end of the cartoon you can see Donal Duck going crazy. He couldn't take in all that overworked hours and not being able to eat what he wants and sleeping as long as he wants.This shows how strong the german authority and power was and thus was able to rule the people the way they wanted them.
 * **Why do you think companies like Disney and Warner Brothers produced these cartoon during the war?**
 * I think that this cartoon was produced to inform the public and advertised to all age types, but mostly for children in a enjoyable way that the Nazi's are over-rulling the people, and causing many people angry and stressed out. As the cartoon is mostly for children, I think that because most adults already know and experience what is happening, Disney and Warner Brother wanted to inform the children what is happening right now and how that could effect their life.

2. Political Cartoon for the home front
 * **What is in the in this cartoon? Explain the symbolism you see.**
 * In this cartoon I can see Uncle Sam putting all the papers for USA Salvage program into scrap paper processing machine. Then in the end the machine produces a package with a missiles that is labeled Pass on the Adolf. This could indicate that USA is planning to bomb Germany as a part of their salvage program. Then you can see the lady putting boxes for the Christmas packages for 1944, which I think indicates that those are presents for the US citizens who participated in the war helping american and its allies win the war. I think that the US assumed the war will end around 1944.
 * **What is the intended message of this cartoon?**
 * I think the intended message of this cartoon could be that there are many ideas that the US is producing and all these great ideas can be a strong weapon that could help the Allied power win the war. Or this could a cartoon that again helps inform the public about the war, and how the US is at total war. As the machinery states scrap paper processing it could be another way of recycling any waste, thus telling people to conceive materials then maybe by 1944 the US can win the war thus the Christmas presents being the presents for all the citizens who help in the war.

3. Life on the home front exploration
 * **Children at war**
 * Many children were happy that they were evacuated, they felt like this was some kind of holiday.
 * However some refused to go away from their family, friends and leave their home
 * Over 3500,000 children, women and the elderly were evacuated.
 * **Rationing**
 * Food rationing came into place in January 1940.
 * Each family had to register had to register with a shop or a store where the food would be bought and this was the only place where the family could shop.
 * People also controlled the clothes they wore.
 * **Women at war**
 * Women had to choose to either work for armed forces or in the factories
 * There were 3 main armed forces that women worked at Women's Voluntary Services, Air Raid Wardens and Auxiliary Territorial Service.
 * Many women also helped in the Land Army, in which the women help on farms.
 * **Message of war**
 * I saw many interesting propagandas such as "When you ride alone, you ride with Hitler". This propaganda is to conserve energy and thus asking for car-pulls.
 * There were many propaganda's that were aimed at women, such as the one where the women is showing off her biceps and saying "We can do it" Which gives confidence to the women that they can help too.
 * As these propaganda's were hung on the city streets these propaganda's also targeted children. I specially like the propaganda where the adult is telling the little child " Leave this to us sonny - __y____ou__ ought to be out of london" That appeals the children to participate in the evacuation.

Image Analysis: This Cartoon displays the League of Nations on the right side and Uncle Sam on the left looking at a picture or a movie clip of Japan and China fighting. It seams like the League of Nations is asking Uncle Sam to do something about this fight. The cartoon highlights the Japanese expansion as if it is like a teenager gone wild. Where there is no way to stop that teenager from listening to their elder, thus asking for a scary big country for their help. It also show that is a potential problem as Japan could have more urge to expand bigger than just invading China
 * 'Let Sam Do It' Cartoon from New York American, 1931, about the role of the League of Nations in the Japan-China Conflict.**

This cartoon displays the anglo-saxons which are countries such as the Great Britain, US and Germany. However in this cartoon you can see Uncle Sam and John bull on this cart with lots of money, where the Asians are carrying them. This cartoon expresses the pain the Asians had to go through during the Anglo-Sazon Imperialism. I think that This cartoon does not specifically express the Japanese expansion but I think it shows how this anglo saxon imperialism could have caused the Japanese expansion. If the British and other European countries go and invade other countries why couldn't the Japanese?
 * 'Let others sweat and toil' a Japanese cartoon about their views of the West**

This cartoon displays a hand that tattooed Japan and is holding probably the constitution of the League of Nation, which is burning. This cartoon can be interpreted as Japan ignoring the League of Nations, as it is burning down a paper that is labelled the league of nations. This h highlights the Japanese expansion because the Japanese are able to expand as they are ignoring the rules and warnings by the League of Nations.
 * 3rd Image**

This cartoon displays a angry looking Japanese soldier trying to come and invaded New Guinea while in the neighbouring country of New Guinea is guarded by the US and Australia. This cartoon shows that the Japanese expansion was viewed in more of a negative way as you can see the Japanese solider looks mean and angry. It also looks scary and strong. On the other hand the US soldier seem to look small, and hiding from the big buff Japanese solider, which makes the Japanese look mean and un reasonable to just invade other countries.
 * 4th Image**

Question and Answer: Japan attacked the United States of America because Japan believe that the United States of America was an obstacle that went against Japan's expansion. For example when Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931 by beating the Russians and the Chinese, Japan thought that other countries would finally come to understand that Japan was a strong and powerful nation however America refuse to recognise Manchuria as an independent state. Secondly, when Japan invaded China in 1937 United States sided with China and supported China's Nationalist government against Japan, once again blocking Japan's expansion. Finally during Japan's occupation of Indonesia in 1940, the US expanded hit Japan hard. They expanded their navy, moved the Pacific fleet nearer to Japan to Pearl Harbour in Hawaii, US embargo on steel and scrap iron exports to Japan cut off 80% of Japan's supply of materials that could be used to build weapons. The US also froze all Japanese asset in USA and President FDR demanded Japan's immediate withdrawal from Indonesia and China. Thus United States's actions got in the way of Japans's expansion. Therefore Japan had to attack the US to tell them to stay out of their way. Before: Early 1941, Japanese government began a two-pronged strategy, The Japanese diplomates in Washing, D.C. entered into negotations regarding Japan's desire for expansion in Asia. During: 1941, December 7th, the japanese approached Hawaii. The US radar detected the aircrafts but thought it was flight B-17 arriving from the US mainland. The Japanese were able to attack wit no warnings given at the target. The Americans did not response to the attack until the bombs started to fall. The first attack went on for 25minutes, the second attack was less successful, suffered more casualties and didn't do a whole lot more than the first attack After: The outrage of Americans were palpable after the attack. The Pearl Harbour was the worst naval disaster in US history. Thus the US declared war on Japan the day after the Pearl Harbour attack. Soon Germany and Italy declared war on the US on December 11

The bombing of London aided Britain's cause by uniting all the civilians as they were outraged by the Germans bombing and all of them fought to resist the battle and not give up or flee. > **6) Why was the outcome of the battle of Britain significant for the Allies?** > It gave hope to other allies, and showed that they could also fight of the Germans if they resisted. It also showed that the Germans do make mistakes and that mistakes comes with big casualties.

The British were able to hold off the German invasion when their military was weaker because even though, the didn't have many aircrafts and more technologically advanced ones, they had radars, that could detect the enemy's aircraft therefore was able to defend themselves. The British were all united and wanted to fight and resist the German invasion. They had almost everyone in any age group helping out with the army, in any way possible. They had women who could work for the voluntary survives, men working for observer cops, and many more. The British all united after the bombing of London and thus help them have a strong mind and to fight of the Germans. Even their prime minister Winston Churchill helped the British citizens to unite as one and not to give up or flee.

How did the Treaty of Versailles add to China's problems?
 * __Station 1:__**

When China entered the war with the Allied power, they had hope to gain freedom from foreign influences. However the Treaty of Versailles changed almost everything. The Treaty allowed the parts of China that had been controlled by Germany to be handed over the Japan. During this time there was also a civil war between the Communists (Mao Zedong) and Jiang's forces. Yet in 1931, Japan invaded the parts of China called Manchuria and quickly spread to the other parts of China. I believe that Japan was thought that this was a great chance for them to invade China as they already gained few parts of it as well as the fact that China is also busy with the civil war. However soon enough the leaders of the Civil war, Jiang and the Communists agreed to join together to fight the Japanese as that was more urgent than the civil war.


 * __Station 2:__**

As we have learned in unit 2, we know that Japan closed its doors and isolated themselves in the 1600s. However they reopened their doors after about 200 years, in the mid-1800s. When American steamships, with cannons, entered Japanese waters, Japan agreed to open up trade to the US, and soon after, it made similar deals with European Nations.
 * __Introduction:__**

(image) of the American Steamship. __Caption: The American Steamship__

The Emperor Mutsuhito who has ruled Japan for 45years, was the first time in centuries an Emperor has ruled Japan directly. His era was called Meiji era which means "enlightened rule". Mutsuhito was determined to modernise his country. He sent government officials to Europe and the US. Learning from their system, the had created a new Japan. Which consisted of the central government of Germany and its army, navy after Britain's and adapted the American system of education. They built railroads, mined coal, and constructed factories.
 * __The Meiji Era__**

(image) of Emperor Mutsiuhito __Caption: Emperor Mutsuhito__ (image) of the industrialised Japan. __Caption: Japan's rapid industrialisation.__

Now that Japan felt equal to the industrialised European country it wanted power. Therefore Japan began to expand its influence like the European powers. Japan also felt that, as their population started grow due to the growing economy it felt the need to expand its land. This was one other reason why Japan invaded Chinese's Manchurian territory. Japan even fought over this territory with Russia and successfully winning. Japan was recognised by more countries. Yet Japan has stated that, this was there only choice for their people they needed more land for the surplus population, as emigrants were banned to the anti-Japanese immigration polices and advance into world market was also unavailable due to the nullification. Thus expansion of land was their only choice.
 * __Japan's Grip of Power__**

(map) of the Manchurian land where the Japanese took over __Caption: Japanese invasion of the Manchuria.__

After the Manchurian incident, Japan was known to be an untrustworthy nation, others said that she had recklessly brought cannon and machine guns into Manchuria. However Japan still argued that Manchuria did not belong to China.They have established a splendid new nation of Manchuria, furthermore Manchuria actually was consolidating its foundations with the aid of its friend, Japan. Japan also argued that the things they were doing to the Manchurians were not as bad as what the Europeans were doing to the Africans during the yers for imperialism. Nevertheless her excuses didn't change the way others feel about Japan.The gaining of Manchuria was very benificail to the Japanese in many ways. As the invation of Manchuria and the war mobilization efforts attempted to creat a stronger empire, Thus the Japanese set up a "puppet stae of Manchukuo". Macnhuria was also used fro their vast natural resources and raw materials, which would help further the ecnomic goals for Japan.
 * __The Enemy Coutry__**

(photographs of tortured people) comparison of Japanese imperialism in Manchuria and European imperialism __Caption: Comparison between Japan and Europe.__

Successfully taking over Manchuria, Japan attacked Korea and gained complete control in 1910. Japan provided harsh rules for the Koreans. They shut down the Korean newspapers and changed schools so that only Japanese language and history would be taught. They took away farmers lands and gave it to the Japanese settelers. They even built factories that were run the by Japanese only. Koreans weren't allowed to start a new business and, because Koreans couldn't do much in their homeland, they were sent to Manchuria, northern Korea and Japan, to work in the factories. About 4,000,000 Koreans and even Chinese were displaced from their homes and shippped to these facotries so that they would be productive in Japan's war effort. Which was to maximise the production for the morther country(Japan). Thus nationalist movement and protests began against Japanese rule.

Was Mao a better or worse national leader than Stalin?
 * __Station 3:__**

Many has believed and still believes that Mao is the man who transformed China even if he made some bad choses. However I think that Mao was as bad as Stalin. Mao was the man responsible for 70 million deaths. First in the Long March, changed history however 80 thousand soldiers walked for six thousand miles across China while Mao was carried across the whole way. This Long March also had some consequences however in the end Mao gained power. In addition Stalin was very close to Mao, Stalin felt that Mao was a person much like himself, thus he helped Mao rise to the top. Finally on October 1st 1949 Mao declared himself as the leader of the Republic of China, and the real horror of Mao began. His first action as the leader of the Republic of China was the Great leap. During which, 38 million people died of starvation and over work. Nevertheless Mao didn't even consider stopping the Great Leap. It is hard to imagine half of the population suffering and dying, just to make an atomic bomb. Secondly, while the people of China were starving to death Mao was selling food to the foreign country to hundreds and millions of people. He was an horrible person, but he died in 1976 on september and so the cultural revolution ended when Mao died.

Your work needed more careful proofreading. You also might want to consider whether emotionally inflammatory words like "the ship to hell" have a place in history books. 9.5/10

= =Class 31: Revolution in Russia (Classwork/Homework) 06/04/12= The 3 stations.

__**Station 1**__ Why did Russia have a Revolution?

There were multiple of reasons why Russia had a Revolution. First the Rapid Industrial growth brought problems. It was just like when the Great Britain started industrilization. The working conditions were poor, wages were low and there was child labor. Many workers grew angry and often went on strike. This caused the first revolution and the formation of revolutionary groups; one of them being the Bolsheviks led by Vladimir. However he fled Russia a few years later to await a better time to push his ideas. The failure of the World War I caused rage in Russia. In just the first few months of war, Russia had four million soldiers killed, wounded or captured. Thus czar was forced to step down and Alexander Kerensky was formed. During these hard times, Lenin returned to Russia determined to bring about his revolution and Kerensky reign was ended. To gain more support Lenin ordered all farmland to be given to them. Workers were given control of the factories. Later Lenin agreed to sign a peace treaty with Germany in exchange of Land. However There were forces who opposed to Lenin's revolution. The revolution began and the civil war lasted for three years. Despite that Lenin's Red Army won and Lenin created new plans to rebuild the Russian economy.

__**Station 3**__ http://kolkhoznik.tumblr.com/page/2 "Millions of Qualified Workers for the 518 New Factories"

-This poster could be also found in the given website.

1. What is the message that the poser is trying to get out of Russian people?

The message that the poster is trying to convey is to persuade the people of the Russia to work in the newly made 518 factories. The poster first exaggerates how the people who are working seem very happy and seem pretty excited to work in the new factories. The big and red "518" could represent how there are many new jobs and opportunity for anyone to come and work. Also the millions of qualified workers will make the people who are signing up to work feel like they were the special million who were "qualified" however on the other hand it could also express how there is a great chance of people getting excepted to work in the new factories as million is a big number.

2.Do you find this piece of propaganda compelling? Why or why not? I think this piece of propaganda is very compelling because it shows the happiness of having a job, working and challenges for a new opportunity. As this was the time when Russia had just gotten to industrialise, it is a good timing for posters like these to spread around as people were sick and tired of working in fields they wanted to go the cities and work in the factories. The 518 new factories and Millions of workers is an excellent word choice as well because the the viewer of the poster will feel that this is a new opportunity with a large possibility of the people working there.

3. Make your own propaganda poster designed to make viewers adopt your viewpoint on one of the following issues: school uniforms; freedom of speech; hagwons. **(will be handed in by 10th April 2012 DBlock)**

How did the treaty of Versailes reflect the different personalities and agendas of the men in power at the end of World War I?

The Treaty of Versailes, the peace treaty signed by Germany and the Allied power in 1919 was the result of the Negotiation held in Paris in the place of Versailes. From this Treaty we could clearly observe the different perspective of each leaders of the world, especially the Big Four. First we can see that Vittorio Orlando of Italy and many other countries who have attended the meeting wanted to take away land from the central powers which would include Germany, such as surrendering all of its overseas colonies in African and in the Pacific. On the other hand, David Lloyd George of Great Britain and Georges Clemenceu of France wanted to seek revenge on the German's as they made the Germans take all the guilt and responsibility for WWI. The Treaty also included military restrictions such as limiting the size of Germany army, prohibiting frm importing or manufacturing weapons or war material and forbidding to build or buy submarines or have an air force. Whereas, Woodrow Wilson of the US wanted something different from the others, they didn't want money or land, he just wanted peace. Seeking for peace he had drawn up a series of peace proposals, known as the Fourteen Points which included his dream of creating the League of Nations. And the last point (the League of Nations) was successfully added to the Treaty of Versailes. Thus showing that this treaty has all of the desires of the great leaders in 1919 and how their desires have effected the world.

The maps show the different Powers. For example, the "GREAT WAR" map shows the different powers and named them, Darwinist, Clanker and Neutral. The Darwinist being the Allied Power, Clanker as the Central Power, and Nuetral as just nations that are not yet aligned. The Central Power or the Clankers would be such nations like: Germany, Austria-Hungary and Ottoman Empire, where as the Allied Powers or the Darwinist would be such nations like: Great Britain, Russia, France and Serbia. Lastly the Neutralist being Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. These 2 maps are very similar in a way they show the powers of each nations during the World War, In the map "GREAT WAR" the map is presented differently than in the "European Alliances WWI" map. As each nation symbolises something. Take, for instance, Russia, it is symbolised with a bear that is biting Austria-Hungary. However I am not so sure why this images are symbolising these nations.
 * Comparison between maps.**

As you can see there is a large Slavic population in Bosnia herzegovina, and during the 1913 there was a big growth and strong belief for nationalism, as a result it made the Slavic people in Serbia want to be a nation with the same belief. In addition they wanted them to claim a lager territory to feel more powerful against her powerful neighbour, Austria-Hugary.
 * Why might Serbia have staked a claim to Bosnia and Herzegovina?**

I think that Russia would have been interested in helping further claim for Serbians, because they share both have Slavic population therefore they share the same cultures and maybe some historical backgrounds and some kind of connection makes Russia want to help. In addition there could be benefits for Russia, such as if they won the war, Russia's territory could also grow larger.
 * Why might Russia have been interested in helping further that claim?**

Germany and Austria-Hungary would have feared moving to Bosnian session from Austria-Hungary therefore resisted it. I think this is due to the fact that most of the population in Bosnia is Slavic, and due the to rise of nationalism they would have sided with the the Allied Powers and went against the Central. As a result they didn't want to cause more conflicts and lose more soldiers in a unnecessary battle.
 * Why would Germany and Austria-Hungary have resisted any moves for Bosnian (used to mean Bosnia and Herzegovina) secession from Austria-Hungary?**

I think that it had an equal amount of both positive and negative impact on the world because as you can see on the table it shows that there are many positive results as well as the negative. So the number of results balance out, however the greatness of the impact differs, such as the overthrow of the colonial rule was the greater impact in the society than minority cultures assimilating into nation's majority culture. Also you can see that one result leads to another. The Competition between nations' motive to increase the scientific and technological advance would lead to more countries involvement in Wars. As nuclear bombs step into the society, more countries got involved in each other's war, because of the Danger of not getting involved and stepping out.
 * Positive and Negative results of Nationalism:**
 * Do you think nationalism has had a more positive or negative impact on the world? Support your opinion with evidence.**

Unification: The amalgamation of politically dived lands however share similar culture Separation: Cultural difference in a group, tries to break away, or refuse being added to a state. State-building: Forming of a new state by having culturally distinct group accepting a single culture. I think that these Empires would have been threatened by Nationalism, because these Empires were made of people with distinct cultures and religions within a nation, therefore could really have been a huge hazard of these Empires from breaking down.
 * Types of Nationalist Movement:**
 * 1. Using the table above, explain the characteristics of each type of Nationalistic movement in your own words.**
 * 2. What do you think would have happened to the empires (e.g. Austrian Empire, Ottoman Empire) during the rise of nationalism?**

The cartoonist uses the boot of to symbolise the soon-to-be nation of Italy. And you can see that the King Victor Emmanuel II shaping Italy to be more of a fit nation for it to be added to his kingdom, and Garibaldi is helping him put the boot on, and this indicates the fact that Garibaldi agreeing to unite the southern areas he had conquered with the kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia. Then Garibaldi agreeing to step aside and let the Sardinian King rule. Garibaldi is portrayed as like those maids who work for the King and dresses him up, cleans his room and etc. Which he kind of is because he worked so hard to conquered with the southern areas he willingly gave it to the King. The title expresses that the cartoonist view the Italian unification as if the King was waiting and expecting the help from the Garibaldi. This is indicated by the title where a part of it says "at Last" as if he was waiting for it. It also express that the hard work of Garibaldi was only for the only thing the benefited the King.
 * Key Skill: Analyzing Political Cartoons:**
 * 1.What symbol does the cartoonist use for the soon-to-be nation of Italy?**
 * 2.How is Garibaldi portrayed?**
 * 3.What does the title of the cartoon say about the cartoonist's view of the Italian unification?**

The symbol expresses the unification in Germany because, the national symbol for Germany is an Eagle and it represents their spirit or values because an Eagle has a significant meaning for Power, and justice. Then the country behind the Eagle represents Prussia. Where the unification happened. And lastly the heart of the Eagle, which if you see closely, is a handshake. And this symbolises unification because unification is the process of being united therefore the handshake is a perfect symbol for unification.
 * CASE STUDY: Germany:**
 * 1) Create a flow chart that shows the key events that led the unification of Germany.**
 * 2) Looking at the map on page 263, answer the two geography skillbuilder questions.**
 * **What was unusual about the territory of Prussia as it existed in 1865?**
 * The fact that the East Prussia and the West Prussia is not connected was unusual about the territory of Prussia as a territory is usually a joint group of land.
 * **After 1865 what year saw the biggest expansion of Prussian territory?**
 * In a single year 1871 Prussia had its biggest expansion as the South German States joined Prussia to from the German Empire. Where a large chunk of land was added to Prussian territory.
 * 3) Design a national symbol for the newly formed Germany. Include symbols that best represent the spirit or values of the German people at this time. Write a short paragraph explaining your symbol and its significance.**

You seem to have missed the fact that you are being asked to design a NEW symbol for the new Germany, so you can't really use one that is actually being used? However, you have used it in a new way, and explained it well.

Indian soldiers who were rebelling against the British rule, their importance was the fact that they have caused the Sepoy Muntiny. They fought against the British for them to be violating their religious laws and customs The Sepoy Muntiny was a great turning for British rule in India. This was a great change in history as the British movement took over direct rule of India from the East India company. And cultural, religious, and political divisions between the British and the Indians grew wider. The congress party was formed when the first meeting of the Indian National Congress took place in 1885. This was significant because the group was formed at the first meeting of the National Congress, which was a meeting for those people who were concerned with equal rights for indians. First they pledge loyalty to the British, however as time when by they became much more nationalistic He was an important figure in India, who has brought nationalistic ideas to the common people of India. He had brought many changes into india with his non-violent non cooperation, which was called satyagraha. He has reduced taxes for farmers and improved wages and working conditions of factory labours. He was the man most responsible for turning the Muslim League into a broad-based political party. He joined the Muslim League and others even called him "the best ambassador of Hindu-Muslim unity". He also help the two organisation reach an agreement on a plan for constitutional reform in India, also known as Lucknow Pact 1916.
 * Terms and Names:**
 * 1. Sepoys**
 * 2. Sepoy Muntiny**
 * 3. Congress Party**
 * 4. Mohandas K. Gandhi**
 * 5. Mohammad Ali Jinnah**

The four main factors were that they had strong and big military forces, which help them often defeat India rebels. There were many warring Indian kingdoms, who were engaged in a fierce power struggle, and this helped the British because the chaos caused by the indians were paved the way for British control. The third fact was that the British in India were well organised and united in their goals, so they were able to control, the politically disorganised indians. The last factor was that because Indians were politically disorganised, the British brought political stability with an efficient government and a system of law.
 * Main Ideas:**
 * 1. What were tour factors that contributed to Britain's conquest of India?**

Sepoy Mutiny was caused by Indian soldiers who feared that the British were violating their religious customs and therefore revolted. The result was the establishment of direct rule by Britain. So, what they wanted was less control, from Britain however, instead it resulted with Britain gaining more power over the Indians.
 * 2. What was the cause of the Sepoy Mutiny and what was its main result?**

The Congress party demanded independence for a united India. They were the main group that promoted independence. Which included ideas such as Gandhi's philosophy and his tactic satyagraha.
 * 3. Which groups and ideas promoted the india independence?**

the four general principles were to live as simply as possible, being tolerant of the religious beliefs of others, devote one's life to the service of others and finally Battle injustice in all its forms, but never by restoring to violence.
 * 4. What were the four general principles of Gandhi's Philosophy?**

He was the most responsible man for turning Muslim League into a broad-base political party. He was also the man who help Muslims separate and became a different country called Pakistan. As well as, he help Pakistan become independent nation and therefore he was the first leader of Pakistan.
 * 5. What role did Jinnah play in the partition of India?**

Documents B,E and C are pro-Britiish in nature however A, D, F, G, H, J, K, L are pro-Indian.
 * Documents**
 * 6. Which of the docmuents are pro-Britihs in nature? Which ones are pro-Indian?**

According to the Constitution in the section "RIGHT TO EQUALITY" clause 16 sub-clause 1 it states that "There shall be equality of opportunity for all citizens in matters relating to employment or appointment to any office under the Sate... " This shows that even the poor, and the lowly stated society can have a fair chance of getting a job as much as a higher classed man. Also in clause 17 it states "'Untouchability' is abolished and its practice in any from is forbidden. The enforcement of any disability arising out of 'Untouchability' shall be an offence punishable in accordance with law." This means that the Aryan Caste System won't be passed anymore and everyone should be treated equally no matter of birth.
 * 7. How would Indians in the lowest levels of their society benefit from India's Constitution as stated in Document H?**

The British colonisation had many lasting impact on the people of India. As stated in Source G in the second paragraph "...the british mode of life, customs, speech and thought have been profoundly influenced by those of india..." This source shows that the western education has really effected India permanently, as well as they way they think. And you can see in source H: the Constitution of India is also based on the ideas that the British thought the Indians, about human equality, human, rights, and freedom. And lastly in source L: The New York Times, it questions "Should Indians celebrate that their country, a grand tapestry of castes, languages, regions and faiths, has survived despite forecasts that it would splinter once Britain's controlling hand was removed?" This question is basically asking would the western culture continue even after the British gave India independence? and the answer to that is yes. India was under British colony for more than a century therefore the custom that were thought to them will still remain in some way, permanently. .
 * 8.Using only the information contained in the documents, answer the following question: How would British colonisation have a lasting impact on the people of India? Use examples from the documents to support our answers.**

First the British and the Indians have a massive cultural difference, religious different and customs. That would of cause conflicts because it they have different beliefs it will lead the British to do what they think is culturally right, however it could be going against the religious rights in India. An example would be the British were forcing Indians to do things that were going against their region and culture, which was to eat certain type of meat.
 * Critical Thinking:**
 * 9.What were the causes of the cultural conflict between the British and the Indians?**

There were definitely many positive effect as well as the negative. First the British help the vas improvement in the technology and infrastructure. As well as political stability and the western education, thought Indians more about the human equality and rights. However in the other hand they have used many Indians as industrial slaves, and also have tortured many by violating their human rights, religion and culture.
 * 10. Identify both positive and negative effects of British Rule in India?**

Gandhi's principles show Because the government cannot function when its people are not cooperating with the government. That would mean there is no people for the government to rule because they are uncooperative. And the non-violent technique works effectively as well because he is not violating the law, he is simply not following it. And this philosophy and beliefs were so respectful to his people it was highly judged and respected.
 * 11.How were Gandhi's four gneral principles effective in dealing with a much more powerful Great Britain?**

The Muslims were afraid of the fact that when India gets independence, the Hindu Congress party won't give out many rights and equality to the Muslim minorities. As well as the fact that the new westernised, India could really be a danger as it is more industrialised and so the minorities could have hard time getting rich because of the system Capitalism.
 * 12. For what reasons did Muslims demand a separate nation?**

First the Pakistan forms because religious inequality and beliefs. Then Pakistan divides because the East side of Pakistan was in fear of the unsuccessful nation and lack of unity. Then Sri Lanka breaks apart from India for religious reasons as well, the majority of Sri Lankan were Buddhist.
 * 13.Why did the colony of India break up into four separate nations?**

20/20 Extremely well done. Very thorough in your answers.

= Task 2: = Imperialism in China Political Cartoon: == This image is anti imperialism because, in the image you can see there is a pizza with Chine(Chia) written on it. And there are many great rulers sitting around the pizza with knives. They are fighting to divide China into pieces like they have done with Africa. In the picture you can see Queen Elizabeth, The german King, Japanese emperor and ect. They are all studying and looking to see which piece to cut. And in the back there is the Chinese emperor trying to stop them. However to them his actions and voice can't be heard as they are not giving any attention to him. They are unimportant therefore no attention is given as well as the fact that no one cares about what China thinks. They just want the resources in China. They are trying to divid it up like they did with Africa. It shows their cruelty lack of attention towards China. This images shows the cost f imperialism because imperialism caused the conflicts between conflicts and competition.

Imperialism in Korea Political Cartoon: This image is anti imperialism because this shows how Japan brutally entered Korea. In addition Japan also took over Korea and they used their newly acquired territory to enter China as well. We can see this because as you can see on the sign in the left it shows that to enter Manchuria, Japanese had to go through Korea. there for Korea is being used as a bridge to enter Manchuria. It shows that Korea is being used only as bridge way to get to China. However in the process Japan has also taken over Korea. That Japan is only locking forward, and it would step on anything that is in her way. It also shows the cruelty of Japan, as well as its ambition to stay on the top with the Europeans. The image is the cost of imperialism because of Japan's ambitions to succeed and become more of a powerful nation, Korea is being scarified. Japan is only entering Korea to get to Manchuria which is located in China. So Korea was just a stepping stone to China.

This image is pro imperialism because it shows that when Spain colonized these countries(Philippines, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Cuba,) they were industrial slaves, however it shows that America improved the lives of these countries. The cartoon shows that these countries were oppressed by other countries such as Spain, and America help them become "unoppressed". And judging by the way they are dressed and presented you could see that these countries achieved better lives, and education as they all look very dapper. The views are contrasting as in the top part of the picture it shows how these countries were being used as almost slaves however in the bottom part it shows how they are actually all really smart. The views on the other nations that were taking over these countires are very badly shown; such as Spain, however America is shown as a very good country as they allowed the less countries that were in oppression become a better person with better live style and also gave them better education which allowed them to show their intelligence. The image is the benefit of imperialism because when a mother nation is more willing then other countries then the colonies could get better education and better live style. However when the mother nation is cruel and just want all the goods in such country. ti colonist could be used as a industrial slave.

= Task 3: = Capitalism generated wealth by industrial revolution, the finding of the fossil fuels which lead to great invention such as steam engines. Then it also generated wealth by imperialism and colonialism. However Feudalism created wealth with agriculture and mercantilism created wealth by trades. The difference is that without imperialism, colonialism and great increase in the energy capitalism would just be like Feudalism and agriculture.
 * 1) Feudalism and mercantilism were two economic systems that preceded capitalism. Review and summarize (in your own words) how they generated wealth. How does capitalism DIFFER from these two systems?**

The force that drive the capitalism is imperialism, colonialism and finding of the coil, fuel and natural gas. However it was mostly driven by the exploitation of resources from other parts of the world to Europe.
 * 2) According to this lecturer, what forces drive capitalism?**

__Task 2: Scramble for Africa__
As you can see on the map the British and the French controlled the largest sections. Well the French controlled a big chunk of land however the British controlled many small parts of africa. I think these countries had the largest are of Africa because they were one of the first imperialist than other countries. Since they started earlier they get the better choices, first come first go

 * Colonialism in 10 Minutes: The Scramble For Africa.**
 * Conflict officially began in 1956
 * However the deep roots of North and South divide comes from the late 18th century during the time of imperialism
 * Colonization was hungered from the african resources.
 * British cut the largest parts of africa.
 * Belgium took over Rwanda and Congo. Which was one of the worst imperialism. Slave labor took over 5million lives.
 * Britain caused the civil war in Sudan by trying to unite with the arabs and the Blacks
 * The leaders of Uganda didn't unite the people instead exploited these differences for their own personal gain.
 * The national resistance movement
 * There were a lot of rebel movements.
 * Laquella was a spiritual rebel who predicted when the army was coming.


 * European Imperialism in Africa (overview)**
 * Late 1800s - European powers once again invaded Africa
 * Desire of global domination
 * need for natural resources
 * Berlin Conference held Nov. 1884 to Jan. 1885
 * The great European powers agreed that 1) inform other powers when they want to claim any territory 2) Any invasion should be validated by effected occupation, and 3) Treaties with African Rulers were to be considered a valid title to jurisdiction.
 * Chief industry's quotas were raised higher and higher.
 * Refusal to work or failure to meet the quotes = beatings, mutilation and even death. Or to punish their loved ones.
 * In 1908 Belgium left Congo
 * Impacts: destroyed traditional social, economic dependency on industrialized nations and increased national racism. Overall it resulted in underdevelopment and poverty.

The Berlin Conference was a conference held by the great European powers such as the Great Britain, French, Spain, Germany and ect. Which was help on Nov. 1884 to Jan. 1885. They had a Conference to agree 3 things. 1) to inform other powers when they want to claim a territory. 2) Andy invasion should be validated by effected occupation. Lastly 3) Treaties with African rulers were to be considered a valid title to jurisdictin. The outcome of the conference was that Leopold II as the sovereign of a new state. First this was the first time in world history that one continent boldly declared its plans to occupy and distribute the territory of another continent. Second as I as stated Leopold II as the jurisdiction of new states, like the Congo Free States. In fact, the Congo Free states was his personal colony - a private state owned exclusively by Leopold.

**IMAGE 1:**
THis image is Anti imperialism. I know this because in the picture you can see there is a white man with his hands on top of Africa on the Globe. And under Africa you can see the labels "Gold Fields" Which could indicate that the great Europe is colonizing these lands because of the Gold Fields under that is hidden in Africa. not to help develop these nations. It is showing that Africa is used for profit and they that the imperialist are only after the "Gold Fields". As well as this hands are not completely flat on the continent, it is more curved in like a cage. Which could indicate the fact that they are kind of using the natives like slaves again and not allowing them to get out until they do what they want until it is not necessary. The avarice of the European is clearly shown as they man is reaching over and taking over Africa for the Gold that is buried beneath the surface of Africa. That the Europeans weren't colonizing these lands to educate and help develop the Third World, but to absorb these natural resources, such as gold.

**IMAGE 2:**
This image is pro imperialism. I know this because as you can see the Man at the very front is a European who is leading a group of Africans behind him. He also has a glow around him which make him seem more like an angel on Earth, helping others who are in need of help. That the Africans needed to be lead by an European otherwise they can't gain order. That they are holy, they are godlike figure to lead them to the right pathway, in order for them to mature into a developed nation. The message that the image is conveying would be the benefits of imperialism, where the Europeans are leading the Africans or the colonist to the right pathway into maturing, and they are trying to help the underdeveloped to becoming developed.

**IMAGE 3:**
This image is anti imperialism. I know this because as you can see there is a white snake with a face and a crap who is wrapped around an African man. You can grasp that the man is suffering and being tortured because of the white snake and therefore it indicates that it is anti imperialism because it shows the pain of the colonist. As well as the fact that the snake symbolises, the king of Belgium, and for the fact that he is squeezing all the goods out of the African man. Who in this case is symbolises Congo. That Africans are suffering and being tortured because of the imperialist who is the the snake with a crown. It shows the deep humanity and sorrow of the man and how they are being used like a slave, one whole nation! With its owner as the imperialist. Snakes can symbolize scary, mean, and cunning personalities. Having the Europeans represented as a snake is a big clue for them being a horrible and dreadful to the Africans as the snake is wrapped around the African man. I know that the snake represents Europeans it is the face of the Belgium King and also the crown was a big hint. This picture could show that the Europeans are ordering the man what do to or even tormenting him. Also squeezing all the goods out of Congo. The message is conveying the costs of imperialism, saying that imperialism is morally wrong as the man is being tormented by the snake. And it also shows that people around it looks at it like it was wrong however doesn't seem to help or fix this problem as the lady in the background is looking back the the man being tortured by the snake however it seems like she is walking forward.

This image is pro imperialism because it shows the hardships of being a Patriot. For the picture N, it shows that the Navy is killing foreigners that are trying to pass the Spithead. Which means that they are protecting. Then in picture I, It shows that the man in killing animals also for protection and finally for picture W it shows that the Englishman is respecting the the chief and it looks like he is explaining something on the paper to him. The views are that they are being protected by the English and it looks like the English is serving them and doing their best provide them with all the goods such as protection and advices. They are being really nice and it looks as if they are working for the colonized countries. Picture N is protecting any foreigner from entering the country and killing so that they don't cause any harm. Picture I is killing all the animals that are dangerous for the people such as tigers and lions, to protect the East India where EVERYONE goes. Lastly in Picture W it is showing that the English man is respecting the rich, superior chief and you can also see that they are smiling at each other which means that there is a positive atmosphere and therefore it would most likely look like the English helping and giving advices to the chief on his behalf. The message being conveyed would be the benefits of imperialism. To help those nations that are in need of help. To protect them, help them and also lead them to the right pathway of maturing.

**IMAGE 5:**
The image is anti imperialism. I know this because the teacher is educating the colonized countries who are viewed as little babies. Whereas the Europeans represented as to being a child that is more mature and smart. This is showing the difference between Europe and Africa. By saying that they are better educated and more mature than these countries that are on the babies shirts. It is recognising the differences between education. I can also indicate that the education what are given is only enough to get them to have a service jobs like shown in the background of the picture. Where the black man is cleaning the window. They are viewed as baby devils, who are not responsible, mature or even smart enough to make their their own choices and grow up. As you can see the colonists are literately drawn as a babies. They are in need of help and should be fostered. They are also seem to be ranked lower and so they are being looked down at. And if you see closely you can see their faces, and they seem really terrified and scared. The views of Europeans are more positively shown as they are teaching these poor children how are screaming for help. Europeans are also at the background who are well behaving and matured. However, could also be viewed negatively as they are looking down at those countries not leading them or helping them. They are also segregating them for their skin colour. As well as the fact they they are not giving them fair education. The message being conveyed is that benefits of imperialism. Helping the "undeveloped nation" to improve them, to make them industrialized, and also to educate them in order for them to mature being able to stand in their own 2 feet as a nation not a colonist. However it doesn't seem to look that way because they are only trained to work for social services or even less.

**IMAGE 6:**
This image is anti imperialism. I know this because as you can see the bird is looking over the Africans and seeing if they are doing their work or not. And seeing all the goods that could be beneath the surface. You can see the title is swooping around, and when animals such as birds swoop around it is hunting and searching for its pray. The image show that the pray are the good resources and so on, whereas the africans below them are a crowd of people who can help the bird find its food. The Africans are viewed as helpers, they are used like slaves to find goods for the king bird. The imperialist role was to swoop over, and seeing if the colonists are doing their work. The imagery was shown as the Imperialist as a Big bird with a crown on top, to show its power. As well as to hunt for all the gold and riches that are in the colony. The message that is being conveyed is the costs of imperialism. The imperialists keeping an eye on the colonists to make sure they are working hard and if they didn't they would probably punish them. As well as sucking and hunting all the riches of Africa for their own benefits.

**IMAGE 7:**
The image is anti imperialism. I know this because it shows an angel trying to inform the imperialist about what is happening outside, and the also the unbalanced justice scale. However the man is not even willing to look outside to see what pain and agony the colonists are going through. Is as if he doesn't even care. The Africans are suffering, and some of them are even killed. You can definitely see the horror that is happening to the colonist because of the imperialists however the Europeans doesn't seem to care about the africans that are dying outside. And the colonists are miserable and undergoing the most terrible time of the time. The views of the imperialist are nefarious. They do not care about how the Africans are suffering, when they said they came here to help them, however the picture shows that by the imperialists being its making the situation worst as they do not care what is happening to the colonists. They don't give any attention what so ever. The message that is being conveyed is the cost of imperialism. This is due to the fact that the colonist are not getting developed, and they are still "undeveloped" or worst they are going back as so many people are suffering and getting killed. Their lives does not get better, it gets even worst than before. The picture is very strong in conveying that this is the cost of imperialism because as you can see the angel, asking the European man to please look outside the curtain and see what he is doing to those poor Africans. She is also holding a scale that balances, with the label of JUSTICE. As you can see the scale is vastly uneven and so she is telling to look out and fix the scale, make the world balanced. However the man doesn't seem to care at all. Not even bothered to give a glance. His time is too precious to even look outside for 1 second too see what his country is doing to its colonists. = Lots of thought and effort have gone into this, especially task 5, though not all of the cartoons are correctly understood. 29/30

= =Class 11 Homework: 07/02/12= (Darwin Document Based Question + Imperialism Table)


 * Document-Based Question:** **Do Darwin’s theories apply to culture and society? Why or why not? Use the excerpts above and strong examples to support your points**.

Yes, I think Darwin’s theories apply to culture and society. This is because, just as Darwin has explained, the species with “better characteristics has higher chance of survival will tend to produce offspring similarly characterized.” In other words the “better characterized” are the Europeans and their duty to spread their characteristics or their culture for the better world or in Darwin’s case to survive. As well as “Struggle for Existence” This shows how they the Europeans are fighting over to take control of the “under-developed” nations. For example US and Britain, even though Britain started imperialism US followed and competed with the British.



Imperialism chart is well done, but I cannot understand why you would say what you do about Darwin when just below here (#2 for Class 10) you say you DON'T agree with Kipling!

= =Class 10 Homework: 05/02/12= (The White Man's Burden Questions)

Based on Rudyard Kiplings description “The White Man’s Burden” is the basic responsibly of a white man. Which is to take care of other nations that is not well-developed as well as those who are not “white”. It also seems like Kipling is trying to convey the fact that white people are better than other races because they are the ones, who should take care of the the other races because they are not intelligent enough.
 * 1. What is “The White Man’s Burden” based on Rudyard Kipling’s description in this poem?**

I unfortunately disagree with Kipling’s characterization, because I feel that it is morally wrong to judge a nation by race. I cannot accept the way Kipling characterised people by their race. I believe it is just another excuse to get more consumers and to gain more profit from gaining control of those nations.
 * 2. Do you agree or disagree with Kipling’s characterization? Why or why not?**

The attitude of Europeans and American toward the rest of the world during the mid 1800 to early 1900s is that they thought they were fostering the undeveloped countries as if they were their parents as used in the poem: “Have done with childish days-- The lightly proferred laurel, The easy, ungrudged praise. Comes now, to search your manhood Through all the thankless years” This passage indicates that those who are not white are leaded by the ones who are and help them become man.
 * 3.What does this say about the attitude of Europeans and Americans toward the rest of the world during the mid 1800 - early 1900’s? Use specific examples from the poem.**

I do not believe that KIS is an example of “The White Man’s Burden” in modern Korean society in view to the fact that just because we receive western education doesn’t make us better than other Koreans who doesn’t. We are still part of the Korean society and we have just as equal rights as they do. Therefore I do not think that KIS is an example of “The White Man’s Burden”.
 * 4.Is KIS an example of “The White Man’s Burden” in modern Korean society? Why or why not?**

 * 1) Andrew Carnegie have said that the Industrial Revolution has a great advantage towards America because of its competing markets, best home market and for its excellent trade system. However Friedrich Engels have noticed the poor as they have struggled helplessly in the Industrial Revolution. They have no food, shelter nor jobs. If they are lucky enough to have jobs their wages are too low to afford personal needs. Therefore Carnegie and Engels would disagree about the effects of industrialization.
 * 2) She is working in a good working conditions and the her factory provides barding place, where they give food which is enough for her too eat. She could also stay with friends and therefore she has more advantage than other people do. Just by working at the factory she Gets shelter, food and money.
 * 3) The cartoon is very bias and clearly shows whats good and whats bad for us. According to the cartoon the Capitalism is harmful and scary because it shows a vampire bat of Capitalism attacking a laborer which means that for all laborer Capitalism would be bad for your economic state. Then next to it there is an angel of Socialism who is trying to safe the laborer from the horrible bat of Capitalism, therefore in the cartoon socialism is what laborers would want because it is holy and it is good, unlike the evil demon vampire of Capitalism

You have understood what you read and see, but are not drawing inferences well. WHY do Carnegie and Engels hold such different views? Is the girl's job really that great? What have you learned about working conditions in mills? So why would she be so positive about the work? Question #3 is answered better. 7/10

= =Class 8 Homework: 30/01/12=

**1. Would Marx have agreed that these countries were “communist”?**
I don’t think Marx would have agreed that these countries were “communists” because Marx definition of Communism was different than reality. He has explained that every society goes through the same phrases first feudalism then capitalism and lastly communism. Marx would have disagreed because his definition of Communism was that there would be equality. Which means it must have no social classes at all, everyone was had similar amount of money therefore there weren’t any social class of rich and poor. He also would have argued that it mustn’t have a strong government. This is because Marx thought that the society would be so perfect that it won’t need a government to set rules between what right and wrong. Everyone will be so equal it won’t be necessary. The last thing he argued is that the payment system would be different too. The money would be payed from each according to their ability of doing so and To each according to the need.

The communist world has shrunk. First this idea of communism was very fancy, it was a dream society where everyone was suppose to be equal. Lots of countries tried to shift from Capitalism to Communism. However This has failed as the reality wasn’t how they thought the theory would be. Instead of decreasing the gap between the rich and the poor communist world has increased the gap and made it unable to be fixed. Then instead of the government slowly fading away because of its unnecessary needs it got bigger and took over control of the whole country. Lastly because everyone is being payed equal the poor will stay poor and the rich will stay rich there will be no way of fixing he gaps. Therefore the new countries who have actually tired this new system have failed and changed back into the old ways.
 * 2. What has happened to the “communist world?**

This has happened because the reality and the theory is not always the same. A theory is just an idea or a prediction of something however the reality can bring you different results. To have an equality in society is almost impossible because for you to get rich your taking money away from someone. Therefore equality in society cannot exist. Secondly, to have the government disappear is also impossible, not all of us thinks the same way, maybe similar but the same. For those who are different can cause trouble or bring happiness. If they bring trouble it would be wrong and therefore the government decides wether that act is right or wrong. Then lastly, the “fair payment” of society is actually unfair, if you do not have to ability then you wont be paid as much, therefore you become poor. If you do not need a lot of money but still need money they wont give you enough money for you catch up to others. Therefore you will be poor. Thus this perfect world that Marx has thought is impossible as a result in reality it never happened and turned out quite the opposite.
 * 3.** **Why do you think this has happened?**

I think that it would probably decrease the gap however it won’t make it balance. Capitalism is an society that has great social inequality. as in the rich get richer and the poor gets poorer. If this system can be changed by the Union movement and reformulation of laws then, My question is why didn’t they do it already? And this is because the rich iare the government’s profit they will never change it. No one wants to be lose money for someone to gain money. No matter how much money you have you usually want more. And I think that is the problem with our society.
 * 4.** **What do you think of the idea that the growing gap between the rich and poor in the industrialized world never materialized because of the Union movement and reforms laws?**

=Class work: 20/01/12= A Childhood at work

From the series of images in the "The industrial Revolution" pdf, I have realized how bad child labor was, I have witness the sad, miserable and hopeless in those pictures. The captions also helped me understand more about these pictures. It showed me how hardworking these children were, in addition understanding that these children didn't get paid as much as they should have. However they managed to work 16 hours a day with only 1 or 2 breaks in between. By looking at these pictures we can observe down fall of the Industrial Revolution, where there were unhealthy working conditions and of course child labor. From the images we can notice the darkness of the factory and how crowed it was. Near pg. 72 I have notice that people were protest against child slavery which make sense, due the fact that the working conditions were egregious. Overall from all the images I have seen unhappy, miserable and depressed faces, which led me to understand how bad child labor was in the pre-Industrial Revolution.

= =Class 5 Homework: 19/01/12= The industrial Revolution, and the urbanization that accompanied it, have been described as a mixed blessing. To what extent to you agree with this statement?

I wholeheartedly agree with the statement: The Industrial Revolution, and the urbanization that accompanied it, have been described as a mixed blessing. The Industrial Revolution changed the way people lived and worked however it introduced variety of problems. Even so the long term effect out run the short term by far. First, the population exploded because agriculture increased which meant there was higher efficiency of food and so the population rises. Nevertheless this caused many problems because the city grew so fast, the housing, water and social services was in a very bad condition. This allowed the the disease cholera to go around the city since the sanitary codes were egregious. As well as education and police protection. Yet in the long run housing, diet and clothing improve to a great extent. Second, industry created many new jobs, which was good in sense that people are going to earn money; however the factories usually had very unhealthy working conditions, there were air and water pollution. Along with that many factories had child labor. Furthermore, Factories were dirty, unsafe and extremely dangerous. On the contrary, it actually caused higher wages, shorter hours and better conditions in the long term. Last but not least, there was a great effect on the social class. The lower class was the factory workers who were overworked and underpaid. Then, the overseers and skilled workers rose to the lower middle class. After that was the upper middle class with was made up of factory owners and merchants. And finally the upper class were the ones who were wealthier than those in upper middle class. This social class system permitted the rise of general standard living. Therefore the Industrial Revolution affected every part of life in the Great Britain, but proved to be a mixed blessing. Eventually industrialization led to a better quality of life for most people.

=Homework: 08/12/11= 4. The Napoleon's empire collapsed because of three reasons. First it was his desire to crush Britain. He wanted to hurt the British economy. Therefore in 1806 he tried stopping all trade between Britain and the lands he controlled however his failed, one, because some Europeans secretly brought in British goods. As well as the fact that the British put their own blockade around Europe. This only resulted the French economy getting weaker. Second reason is that he made his own brother King of Spain. This made the Spanish really angry and many were really royal to their former King. With help from Britain they fought back against Napoleon for five years. The last reason is the far most the worst one, in 1812 he tried to conquer Russia, in the beginning he entered Russia with 400,000 soldiers. However they all died during the cold winter with no food and the Russian army kept attacking therefore they retreated with 10,000 soldiers. Napoleon was weaker and weaker. And these were the main reason Napoleon's empire failed and collapsed.

5. There were three goals of the Congress of Vienna which was first to make sure that the French won't attack another country again. Second was to balanced of power in which no one nation was too strong. Lastly he wanted to put Kings back in charge of their countries from, However many people believed in the idea of the French Revolution. They thought that all people should be equal and share in power.

The justification for “divine rights of kings” is to have the authority given to monarchs directly by God. Since the monarch was God’s representatives on Earth, his decisions became law without any disagreement or interference. Whoever challenged the monarch was challenging God.

3) List the causes of the rise of Absolutism in Europe. Cases of the Rise of Absolutism in Europe:
 * Absolutism first appeared in Spain. Charles V ruled over nearly all of Christian Europe in the 16th century. He was also the secular head of Catholic Church and protector of the pope. However, the Protestant Reformation threatened to dived his Catholic kingdom. Philip II son father Charles, conquered neighboring Portugal. He won the 1571 Battle of Lepanto against the Islamic Ottoman Empire. However Philip’s successors were weak. Spain was crushed by taxes and huge debts that plunged the country into a stagnation from which it took centuries to recover.
 * King Louis XIV (King of France) believed that he was God’s lieutenant on Earth. He dutifully performed his monarchical and ceremonial tasks but was ruthless in his suppression of anyone who questioned his authority. He diminished the power of autonomous towns as his centralized government assumed control over France. Louis won many battles and expaned his hunting chateau at Versailles into a symbol of his power.
 * Tudor dynasty ruled England from 1485 to 1603, achieved its objectives through adept and popular rulers. With the Scottish Stuart dynasty, absolutism became more pronounced. James I asserted his divine right to rule, but his arrogance caused manu in England to resent his power. In turn his sone Charles I caused a constitutional struggle. In 1642 however, the English Civil War erupted between royalists loyal to Charles and parliamentarians. Parliament won the battle, and Charles was beheaded in 1649. In sum, the British Parliament had won the absolutism battle by deposing and appointing monarchs as it saw fit. The divine right of kinds theory had been dealt a devastating blow.
 * In Russia, absolutism had existed since the 15th century. Ivan IV centralized and expanded Russia. At the turn of the 18th century, Peter I entrenched absolutism in Russia. Catherine II was also an absolutist ruler in Russia.
 * In the Holy Roman Empire, Charles VI, also king of Hungary and archduke of Austria, attempted to consolidate his territories into one centralized kingdom. Empress Maria Theresa as heir, succeed in unifying her domain. She centralized the bureaucracy and reduced Church power.
 * In Prussia, Frederick I established the Hohenzollern family as an important dynasty. With the help of a full treasury and his father’s disciplined army, he made Prussia a European great power
 * A variation of absolutism also existed in Denmark, Sweden, and the Ottoman Empire. But after the French Revolution, absolutism began to decline. The Russian absolutism died shortly after WWI

4) Explain briefly how absolutism developed in


 * **SPAIN**: Absolutism developed in Spain due to some dynastic marriages that significantly increased the territorial holdings of the Habsburg royal family. Charles V ruled over nearly all Christian Europe however the Protestant Reformation threatened to divid his Catholic Kingdom. Philip II was able to become an absolutist, as first he had conquered the neighboring Portugal. Philip II was won many major battles, which made him more invincible.However Philip’s successors were too weak. Spain was crushed by taxes and huge debts that plunged the country into a stagnation.
 * **FRANCE**: Absolutism approached France partially in response to a rebellious aristocracy that had embroiled the country in internal conflict and partially because of the Fronde Revolts of mid-17th century. King Louis XIV profoundly believed that he was God’s lieutenant on Earth, therefore he became an absolutist and took power over his kingdom. Louis also won many wars and expanded his symbol of power. By doing this the ministers were totally obedient to him.
 * **ENGLAND**: The development of absolutism was entirely different in England. Although absolutist, the Tudor dynasty, which ruled from 1485 to 1603, achieved its objectives through adept and popular rulers. Many others such as Charles I was also eager to have that power of absolutism, however faced many troubles and ended up dead. His supports try their best too, however the parliament disagreed with the idea of too much power in the kings. Therefore at the end the British Parliament had won the absolutism battle. The divine rights of kinds theory had been dealt a devastating blow.
 * **RUSSIA**: Absolutism had existed since the the 15th century in Russia. In the reigon of Ivan III, where his grandson Ivan IV expanded Russia and at the turn on the 18th century, Peter I entrenched absolutism in Russia. Peter fought in many expansionist wars and has opened Russia to the West. The Russian empress Catherine II also seized power in 1762. An absolutist ruler, her reforms never reached beyond the privileged classes.

Caravel is an average 65 feet long small and highly maneuverable sailing ship. The large cargo area could hold big number of supplies needed for long voyages. Also, its shallow draft allowed people to explore close to the shore.

My Ideas about this image, is that the image shows how advanced the Chinese's ships are compared to the Columbus vessel. This shows how China was discovering and advancing more and more. Therefore this could be picture that could prove the fact China was going through a golden age, whereas in Europe, they were going through the dark ages. The image where there is a comparison of ships between Zheng He's ship and Santa Maria.

My Ideas about this image. is that this map shows the kingdoms of Europe. This shows how they were divided. Even though these kingdoms seem big and fancy, none of them was good enough to be invited to China on February 2nd, 1412. As well as the map in MWH p.35 also shows how the kingdom were divided however from this map we could see where "the Holy Roman Emperor, the Emperor of Byzantium (also called Constantinople), the Doge (ruler) of Venice, and the kings of England, France, Castille and Portugal" would have come from had they been invited to Beijing on 2 February 1421. Which would be from the Holy Roman Empire.I am referring to the image where it shows the kingdoms of Europe, with bold labels and different colours, including ocean names.

This pictures shows me how the territories of Dynasties in China grew starting from 1000 BCE all the way to the Present day. This shows how each Dynasties were different and how they grew as time when by. However it shows that Yuan Dynasties (1294) had the biggest territories then any other, therefore this shows that the territories of the Yuan Dynasties have decreased in the Ming Dynasties (1410). Nevertheless The territory grew bigger in Qing Dynasties and grew back smaller in the present day. I am referring to the image where the territories of Dynasties flashes and changes. The picture I am referring to is the third image down, where the territories of Dynasties in China are flashing.

The 4th image down, where the map is black and white the route of the silk round is shown, represents the route of the silk rode and how long it was extended. It also so where each station was placed, and the route to each station. The modern countries the silk road went through was Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Iran, Iraq ans Syria.

This image represents the population of Europe between 1400s to 1600s. However this map's main point to look at is the population of London for our necessity. Since we are referring to both p.53 of 1421 and the map. We can see that the population of London in the 1400s is about 10.000 and according to 1421 p.53 where Menzie notes that the new walled capital was to be: "fifteen hundred times the area of the walled London at that time and housing fifty times the population." Which means that the new walled capital's population was to be 50,000. Thus this could shows that China was more advanced and therefore can produce can more population.

The caparison of the modern map of Beijing and the great walled capital map shows that the great walled capital takes actually takes a big space of Beijing. Even though in the modern map the Place Museum might look small however it is actually really big compared to the other buildings around. The map of the great walled capital shows the layout of the palace in depth, which shows how detailed and well made the great walled capital is made. By comparing this we could see the importance of the great walled capital.

I think that it would reach the Yangtze river because it would extend further north west, since the great wall started from the Yalu river which is more north east. I am referring to image where the map of great wall is shown for different dynasties, and the MWH atlas p.18-19.

The image show that the Prime Meridian goes through Greenwich starting from the North pole all the way to the South pole. However this line does not go all the round like the Equator, this line just simple end at South pole. like the existence of the Equator the Prime Meridian is also an imaginary line. I am referring to the image of the globe where it shows the Prim Meridian.

This image shows the course of the Grand Canal, and each stop that can be made. This canal is the longest man-made canal in the world, still now. That is a really big accomplishment for a empire to achieve because even technology now cannot make the a canal that long that travels south to north. However reading from 1421 we can see that his biggest accomplishments were making a system that made other countries fear China however still treat them nicely with gifts, or the great ships, or the makings of the Grand Place. China have achieved so many things that the Grand Canal is not really counted in it. While for other countries it could have been an honer to have that much technology, knowledge and man power to build such a long canal.

The Many Hats of a historian

Vocabulary Heretical: A person who has an odd opinion that is usually accepted. faggot: a bunch of sticks or twigs that bound together to us as a fuel. Eucharist: a Christian ceremony celebrating the last supper, where bread and wine are sanctified and eaten Abstain: Restraining oneself from doing something or enjoying something. Penance: a Christian sacrament where a member of the church confesses their sins to a priest and give absolution. Beseeching: ask someone urgently and passionately to do something or explore. Source: A place, person or and thing from that something comes from or can be achieved.

Questions 1.In section 1, Heretical Beliefs, the historian gives his account of a historical event. What is happening to Hogsflesh? What is the historian's “story” or main point of the article? Hogsflesh committed a religious crime, where he was punished. His crime was that he refused to believe in saints but to believe in god. His punishment was to carry faggots around and read out a speech that was written by him and the church authorities in the market places. The main point of the article was to show...............

2.What are the roles of a historian defined by John Arnold? Do you agree or disagree with his assumptions? Can you think of any other roles? The Roles of an historian defined by John Arnold was to read records of history and report on what he/she finds there, and therefore the information will spread to the wider world about the past. John Arnold stated 9 roles of an historian. Which is arranging in history into chronological order, an interperater, a dectective.............

3.What is meant by “treat(ing) their sources with fidelity?” Remember to put your response in your own words. Why is it important to remember this when reading historical references? Treating the sources with fidelity means __supporting and source and to trust and respect it.__ Treating the source with trust is to not to add or take away from the source. Not adding my prior knowledge, and trust the source.

4.How can a single event be interpreted in more than one way? Can you think of an event in your life that historians could interpret with differing points of view? A single even can be interpreted in different point of view, because everyone has different opinions, therefore a way of looking at a source or an event could be different. My personal event would be when I thought that I was really close to this friend but she thought that there were some awkwardness between.

5.Talk to a family member or friend about something that happened to you both a long time ago. Examine how you both remember the incident and write about it. With that in mind, when attaching meaning to history, is it possible for a historian to be completely objective? Use examples from the incident you just discussed to reinforce your response. Well my experience is when I was 5, my mum shouted that she was leaving me, but actually she just went to throw the garbage. I believe that she was really going to leave me and run to the door and tried to open it. However I was only five so I didn’t know how to open it, but instead I locked it and my mum couldn’t come it. My mum remembered it different than how she I had. She went out to throw the garbage, however she didn't really meant that she was leaving me, However I fallowed her out and locked the door behind her and therefore she couldn't come in. I don’t really think that an historian can be completely objective, because of this incident my mum is sometimes still scared when she goes out, that i will lock the door. Therefore because of your personal event you can have a different thought.

6.What problems may arise when historians practice subjective history? In what ways may subjective history be beneficial to the study of history? Think back to the incident you just discussed with your family member or friend. Why did it make sense for you to remember the event the way you did and for the other person to remember it the way he or she did? What does this tell us about history? The problems with subjective history is the fact that the historians might take sides in the history. History is about what happened not about who’s point of view is right or wrong. Subjective history might be interesting to know because you will connect more to the author(historian) who told the story, and rather than just facts, it is sometimes better to listen to the history. My story connects with this because at my mums side of view, she went out the throw the garbage and the I locked the door, however from my side of view

7.Why is every historian "a storyteller?" If all historians are storytellers and there are myriad versions of every story, can we trust historians? Why or why not? Every historian is “a storyteller” because they are the ones telling us the story of history. Story of what has happened in the past. Without them we might not know what happened in the past. Even though there are myriad versions of every story they are similar and it just the way it is told or who is telling the story to you.

Hmm... needs a little more thought.

8.How did your view of history and historians change based on this reading? How will you approach history now that you have explored these views? My views about history has changed completely. Before this reading I always thought that history was all facts and dates. However now, I know that history is a story, from the historians who wrote our textbook and story from our teachers. Some of these history could be different however, I also learned that some sources might not be always true therefore i will take more time examining the source and analyzing it.
