Read pp 530-537 (online or new edition) or pp 475-481 (old hard copy edition). Make a chart noting the goals of establishing each of the following: the United Nations, The Marshall Plan, the Warsaw Pact.

A. Look at the photographs opposite. 1. Describe in your what happened to this house. The house was burned and completely destroyed into thousand pieces. 2. Use your imagination to describe what would happen if a whole town was hit by an explosion like this. If a whole town was hit by an explosion like this, the town would have appeared like a town that people didn't live for very long time. Living and non living things would have been destroyed or dead.

B. Look at the photograph above. 1. Why do you think these people wanted the government to 'ban the bomb'? I think these people wanted the government to ban the the bomb because they realized what bomb can do to human race and how dangerous it is and the outcome of it when it is shot. 2. The picture shows that men and women, young and old, wanted to 'ban the bomb', Why do you think there was such a wide range of people in CND? I think there was such a wide range of people in CND because each of them realized how dangerous the bomb is and what it could do to them when their enemy dropped a bomb. They realized that they didn't have chance of survival if the bomb was dropped. C. Look back to Chapter 7 16-17. What arguments were there against banning nuclear weapons? Some arguments made against banning nuclear weapon are that Soviet Union can drop a bomb or shoot a missile but US wouldn't be able to do anything to go against it and the possibility that US can fight the nuclear war without causing damage to US by using ABM to intercept ICBM before it got to US.

Look at each of the following and decide which was the most significant historical event. Explain your decision in a paragraph on your gallery page. I think the breaking of Berlin Wall was the most significant historical event. Families who were separated by the wall could meet each other and people didn't have to feel that they were separated by a thick wall. People in Germany were overjoyed by this event. This joined one of the divided countries in the world. This was the only event out of the four that didn't happen due to war or was a race between two countries.

Five underlying causes of cold war 1. The fear that Soviet Union would make a big Communist empire 2. Each side not trusting each other 3. Armed race between US and Soviet Union 4. The conflict between Democracy and Communism 5. Western Europe and US ignoring Soviet Union and not including Soviet Union when making important decisions

"Do you think it was right for the Allies to try only Nazi and Japanese leaders for war crimes? Explain your thinking." I think it was right for the Allies to try only Nazi and Japanese leaders for the war crimes because they were the one who started to take parts of Europe. They were the ones who started the spark for WWII in Europe and Asia. They took attack other countries and European colonies to make the countries be part of German and Japan's side. German Nazis were the one who were responsible for genocide of Jews. Japan bombed Pearl Harbor which made US to join the war. US wasn't planning to participate in the war. US wanted to keep its isolationist policy. Germany and Japan caused many death of soldiers and innocent civilians.

Twin Holocaust survivors describe arriving at Auschwitz I felt sad that they had to go through these experiments that Nazis did to them which were dangerous. I felt the twin’s desperate will to survive and go out to the world when the war ends. I felt that the twin’s mother was wise and were really devoted to her children. I felt awed when the twins told that they pinched their cheeks so that they appeared to be healthy. I felt surprised when the twins talked at once and their answers were the same. I felt sad that most of the girls who were part of the experiment were not able to get pregnant.
 * __May 16th, 12__**

Two Brother Struggle to Survive the Holocaust I felt touched when I heard the man didn’t tell where his younger brother hid even though he was getting beaten. I felt that Nazis were being so cruel to man because they beat him until he fainted just because he didn’t tell where his brother hid. It was sad to see that he couldn’t say good bye or hug his mother when his mother and his sister got off the train. I felt sad to see that Holocaust made him and his brother to turn so cold hearted. It was sad and surprising to hear that he and his brother didn’t greet or hug each other when they met each other.

Surviving the Holocaust: Mordechai Eldar’s Story I could feel how desperate Jews were wanting to survive the Holocaust and go out to the world when the world is over. I felt shocked when I heard the man din’t feel anything when he saw men dead in the world but saw the men as another source to keep him alive. I felt the Holocaust made people to change and become so cold hearted. I felt shocked when I heard the amount of food given compared to how many hours that he had to work. I felt sorry for Eldar when he asked a question “I am not the blessed one, but why did I survive?” This doesn’t show any positive energy.

Surviving the Holocaust: Zanne Farbstein’s Story I felt shocked to see the real truth of concentration camps. I was really shocked when I heard that little children were burned alive just because there weren’t enough space for little children in the concentration camps. Nazis could have just released those little children instead of burning them. I felt sad to hear that people in concentration camps were just waiting for their death to arrive instead of thinking of ways to survive.

Surviving the Holocaust: Yaakov Hollander’s Story I felt touched when the man spoke about saving half of his cake for his sick brother and the man telling the interviewer that that was his saddest moment. I felt surprised that he could think about his brother when he himself was hungry for food.

Holocaust Survivor: Sophie Engelsman’s Story I felt sad that the women had to experience the loss of her family members. I felt touched when I heard the reason why she became a nurse. I was happy to see that she had many grandchildren and have joy in her life after the terrifying Holocaust.

Holocaust Survivor Eva Brown Tells Her Story I felt sad when I heard that her parents and siblings weren’t able to be there for her wedding even though it is something that should congratulated by her family members. It was kind of depressing to hear that she was the only one who came out of the camp alive. I felt surprised when she told that she agreed to write a book about her experience. I thought that she wouldn’t want to remember what happened during her childhood. I felt sad to see that they were called numbers instead of their names.

Bernard Montgomery Montgomery was a British officer to take charge of British forces in North America. He had good leadership to make soldiers follow him. He played big role in planning about the D-Day.

Dwight Eisenhower He was a great US general. He becomes the 34th president. He had great leadership and helped to plan military attacks.

1. USSR suffered the greatest human costs. 2. US spent way more money than the sum of money spent by Germany and Japan.



I think some factors that may have contributed to the increased number of deaths in World War II over World War I are more developed weapons, new fighting strategy, and development of technology. The government's attitude toward Japanese Americans is not friendly and being suspicious about them. I can see that the government was not really happy to have them in their country and felt dangerous with Japanese out in the public.

How is the same history conveyed so differently in these two videos? Which do you think is more "true": the Hollywood dramatization or the documentary?

The first video showed what soldiers had to go through to go to the places where they were told to go. In the second vido, it showed how soldiers' lives were like and where they fought. I think the dramatization si more true because the documentary didn't show anything bad that happened to the Allies and showed mostly good things that will make people happy back home like propaganda. I think it was meant for more people to join the war. The first video from Hollywood showed more realistic side of the war and second video showed the nice side of war only.

I don't think Japanese internment was fair because not all Japanese were involved in bombing Honounder its control.lulu. Japanese living in US and Canada had no influence on what choices the Japanese government. There could have been kids who were 2nd generation or 3rd generation Japanese American. There could have been people who were more royal to US government more than Japanese government where they or their ancestors are from. The fact that not single Japanese American or Japanese Canadian were found guilty for spying after WWII was over. US and Canada punished people for what those people do. It is just like punishing the whole class for what one person did and assuming that whole class was involved in that incident.

1. Wartime propaganda [|cartoon by Walt Disney]. As you watch, record your answers to the following...
Wartime images that I recognize from the study of the war are the nazi symbol, the old Japanese flag, the picture of Hitler, Mussolini, and Japanese dictator on the wall, and soldiers walking around and spying on people which represented the secret police. These are some of the things that shown during the WWII. Some of the messages of this cartoon is Nazi only looks good from outside but bad in inside and it is not giving freedom to people under its control. I think they want to tell that Americans that they should be lucky that they aren't living under Hitler's control but under US government. I think Disney and Warner Brothers produced these cartoons during the war because they wanted to tell that Nazi is looking only from outside and not good from inside. Maybe Disney and Warner Brothers wanted to tell Americans that Hitler's government is like a cake with beautiful icing but tastes horrible.
 * ======What wartime images do you recognize from your study of the war?======
 * ======What are some of the messages of this cartoon?======
 * ======Why do you think companies like Disney and Warner Brothers produced these cartoons during the war?======



1. What is in the cartoon? Explain the symbolism you see. In this cartoon, I see a woman packing things in boxes and men putting in a bomb in a box. I think this symbolizes US planning out what US is going to do for each country. For example. the bomb like looking has name Adolf on it which means that US is going to drop bomb on Germany.

2. What is the intended message of the cartoon? I think the intended message of this cartoon is to tell their enemies to get prepared for a fight because US is coming to get them soon and telling Allies that US will be coming to rescue soon. The woman in the poster is packing chocolate which means gift and man in the poster is packing bomb which is not a present but like a revenge.

**A. //Drawing Conclusions//** As you read this section, answer the questions about the war in the Pacific. **//Summarizing//** On the back of this paper, identify **Isoroku Yamamoto** and **Douglas MacAurthur**. **Isoroku Yamamoto** was a Japanese admiral and greatest naval strategist. He thought of attacking Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and commnded Battle of Midway. **Douglas MacArthur** was a American commander of Allied forces in the Pacific. He used “island-hop” plan to minimize the cost of stopping Japan. He lead US through Battle of Guadalcanal.
 * 1) **What happened?**
 * 2) **What is the significance of the battle or attack?**

Write a short description of the perspectives presented in the political cartoons below. What does each cartoon highlight about how Japanese expansion was viewed?

The perspective presented in the cartoon is League of Nation not wanting to interfere with Japan and China fighting. League of Nations is asking US to stop Japan from interfering with China. Japan's expansion is viewed as something that can't be stopped unless the country has power and money.



The perspective presented is US and European countries are lazy and greedy. Japan is thinking that US and Europe is making their colonies suffer. Japan’s view on their expansion is negative because Europe and US don't want Japan to take their colonies that they earned through fighting and treaties.



League of Nation is portrayed as weak and Japan is portrayed strong. Japan is ignoring the treaties that it signed with League of Nations. Japan is burning the treaties which means that it doesn't care about the treaties anymore.



US and Australia is portrayed evil in Japan’s point. US and Australia is each represented by a big human and a big kangaroo. The Japanese expansion is seen negative because there are enemies on two sides attacking a small island.

Japan attacked the US because US fought in side of China against Japan, 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, US froze all Japanse assets in US, and created general trade embargo that went against Japan, and made oil embargo against Japan which left Japan with only enough oil to last Japan two years. Japan also wanted to have colony of its own like US and European nations but US was taking side of China and trying to make Japan to not make China a Japanese colony. US was not allowing Japan to have a colony of its own even though US have colonies of its own. US prevented Japan from getting supplies to prevent Japan from attacking its colonies and making colonies in Pacific. Japan thought that it was unfair that US was preventing Japan from getting its own colony even though US has several colonies of its own.
 * 1) Why did Japan attack the United States of America? Provide evidence from the source below in your answer. **

Japanese met with Franklin D. Roosevelt in Washington D.C. and negotiated about Japan expanding in Asia. The negotiation failed and Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii. At dawn of December 7th, Japan did a surprise attack on U.S. U.S. tried to defend but they couldn't do that much since they were caught off guard. This really angered Americans and American joined the Allies.

1. What was Operation Sea Lion? Operation Sea Lion was Germany's plan to invade Britain. 2. Why did the battle not look good for Britain? The battle didn't look good for Britain because Britain didn't have as many aircrafts and British royal air force was not strong enough to fight against German air force. 3. What advantages did Britain have? Advantages that Britain had was Radar. Radar could show airplanes that were approaching towards Britain's sky. 4. What was Germany's mistake? Germany's mistake was bombing London and giving time for British royal air force to strengthen itself. 5. What was the impact of the bombing of London? How did the bombing of London aid Britain's cause ? Bombing of London made British citizens get really mad. The bombing of London aid Britain's cause to strengthen its royal air force and build more airplanes that were more advanced then before. 6. Why was the outcome of the batte of Britain significant for the Allies? The outcome of the battle of Britain significant for the Allies because other countries who sided with Allies were all been attacked by Hitler and lost against him.


 * Why the British were able to hold off the German invasion when they were militarily weaker. Use evidence to support your ideas. Post your work on your gallery page. **

British were able to hold off the German invasion when they were militarily weaker because they had Radar and supportive civillians. Radar could help to see any approaching aircrafts coming toward Britain. This could help British solders to get ready when bell rang that German aircraft was approaching. This could also save fuels that airplanes needed because the soldiers didn't have to be in the sky waiting until Germans came. Supportive civilians helped to report any aircraft coming toward Britain, fix airplanes, and produce best airplanes as possible. If there weren't supportive civilians, Britain would have lost against Germany who were much stronger than them in military.

Which of the listed events might be considered a turning point for Allies? Why? I think Battle of Britain might be considered turning point for Allies. Battle of Britain helped to prove that Hitler couldn't get all the countries under his control. Different countries got a chance to know how much Germany grew. This told other countries in the world to make better weapons than they did in World War I and beware of anything Germany does since Germany is making Europe under his control slowly.

Napoleon's invasion of Russia and Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union is the same because both of them were stopped by natural conditions. Napoleon was stopped because his soldiers couldn't survive in cold Russian winter. Hitler's army was also stopped because of Russia's winter. Both troops didn't have anything to help soldiers survive against winter. Napoleon and Hitler's invasions are similar because of where and when it happened.

Station 2 // New York Times // Headline: The Sudden Change Thesis: US changed from prosperity in 1920 to poverty in 1929. Reasons: People used to have enjoyable life until the Great Depression happened in US and people had to experience tragic things that they were not used to. Many people in US looked much older than they did before the Great Depression from hunger, hardships, and sudden change in their lives. Young boys waited in front of restaurants to gather left over food when restaurant closed.

// International Herald Tribune // Headline: The Most Tragic Time in Human History Thesis: The Great Depression is killing every country. Reasons: People lost their daily life, their home, their money, their loving ones and other things. Different countries' governments are not able to run country properly because their people can't be controlled with the normal government that they had before the Great Depression.

__**April 10th,2012**__ __**Station 1**__ How did the Treaty of Versailles add to China's problems? Treaty of Versailles added to China's problems because China wanted to become independent from foreigners interfering with Chinese government. So, they asked that foreigners to get out of China and not interfere with them any more but China got opposite of what they wanted from Treaty of Versailles. Another foreign power, Japan started to interfere with China's problem and government even though China was strong enough to deal with its problems. Also, Japan interfered with China's land. Treaty of Versailles didn't help them positively but affected negatively. China couldn't the same country after foreign powere started to come in and interfere. Treaty of Versailles made China to lose its originality more.

__**Station 2**__ Japan’s Role in Asia During 20th century

Japan became one of leading nations after World War I ended. Japan tried to modernize themselves by copying things from leading power or former leading powers. They built their government and army based on how German’s government was formed. Their copied American schooling system for their schooling system. They built their navy based on how British navy was formed. Also, Japan built railroads, mined coal, and constructed factories like other leading nations. These changes made Japan to grow enormously. Few years after Japan’s desire to change, it was standing in same line as other nations in the world. By 1890, it was the strongest military power in Asia. Japan wanted to have colonies of its own like other leading nations Japan looked around its neighbor and saw Korea and China. Japan first started with China. The, they moved onto Korea later. Japan was just copying what the leading powers did in the past and doing in the present to different things. In 1904, Japan and Russia fought a was over China’s manchurian territory and Japan unexpectedly won. This really showed how Japan grew in few years that they tried to change. In 1905, after their victorious glory against Russia, they invaded Korea. By 1910, they won complete control over Korea. That was when all the harsh colonization began. Japan closed down Korean newspapers and changed schools so that only Japanese language and history were taught. Japanese people were not giving freedom of speech and destroying a country’s future in some ways because children are the ones who will be contributing to the society in the future. If children grew up not knowing Korean language and not knowing Korean history. If those children grew went out to the society and worked, Korea would become second Japan which was separated by sea. They also took away Korean farmers’ land and gave it to Japanese settlers. This was just same as a thief stealing from other people’s house but this was a bigger crime. This was just stealing someone’s way of living and their main source of money and food supply. People who lost their land couldn’t do anything to get back their land. Those families had to starve because Koreans who depended on agriculture gave birth to many babies because they needed people who could help with farm work. Those children couldn’t get food that they used to be able to get. Japan was ruining Korea’s future once again. Japanese built factories to be run by Japanese only. Koreans were not allowed to start new businesses. This decreased the Korea population because people died of hunger since they didn’t have any way they could get food without any money. Japan planned to transform Korea into second Japan. So, many people died of hunger and Japanese people killing without any reason. Koreans bitterly resented these action. They couldn’t do anything to stop them because Japan was a much stronger country compared to Korea which didn’t start to develop itself. Since the Korean government couldn’t do anything to help their people because they had no power after Japanese’s invasion into Korea. In 1931, Japan did a unprovoked on Manchuria. After the unprovoked attack, the world started to turn its back against Japan started to criticize more and more. Japan was called as a unworthy nation. Japan brought in cannons, machine guns even though Manchuria was not their land. Japan slowly took necessary steps to occupy that land. Finally after all those little necessary steps were taken, Japan successfully occupied Manchuria. They brought soldiers in and Manchuria changes unlike other parts of China.

__**Station 3**__ I think Stalin was a bad guy he made millions of innocent people to die and took away lands from peasants. Stalin shot people who went against him. People who didn’t want Stalin to be reelected were secretely shot by Stalin’s secret police. People did’t want him to be reelected because he was terrible leader. People kept getting killed because people didn’t agree with Stalin. People who weren’t killed by Stalin were forced to go to labor camps where they had to work until their death. In the end of harshness, millions and millions of people were dead. Stalin’s government officials took away lands from peasants to plant crops for food since the population were all working. People weren’t given enough food to survive. Many people died of starvation while Stalin and his workers were given plenty of food.

Well done. 10/10

__**April 9th,2012**__ Why Russia had a revolution in 1917. Russia had a revolution in 1917 because majority of its population were tired of dealing with the war happening in Russia, lack of food supply, many people dying everyday, and czar Nicholas' rule. Peasants were angry with how czar Nicholas ruled Russia. As his ruling continued, the economy got worse and worse. Peasants' daily life was bad. They had to see many people dying every day because Russia was not yet industrialized like other European and feel the lack of food supply. Peasants didn't want to deal with any of the things that they experienced since the start of war. Many people had complains with how the government was functioning.

__**April 5th,2012**__ 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 reflect the different personalities and agendas of the men in power at the end of World War I because some countries wanted more than other countries and other countries didn't want many things. Wilson who had a clear vision about the future didn't want anything that much even though it sent solders and money to other countries. Wilson announced that he will agree with other agendas if other represenative agreed with his short agenda with 14 points. He is shown to be a wise men with clear vision. However, represenative of France was eager to take everything away from Germany that it will suffer greatly. It shows that the represenative was full of anger and eager to make Germany pay the price.

 * Map Comparison**


 * The European alliance map shows which countries were the central power, which countries had allied power, and which countries were neutral. It is shown clearly by using three distinct colors. The Great War Map (1914) shows that countries are divided into darwinist, clanker, and neutral. The map shows which countries are against each other by showing scary looking things attacking each other. The countries that are colored by gray has machines on their territories instead of fierce looking animals. It shows that those countries were really advancing in industrialization.**

Serbia wanted to expand itself and thought that they should combine together since Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina are same group. Serbians thought that it wasn't right that a culture should be ruled by a different group. They thought one group should live together and be run by a government.
 * Why might Serbia have staked a claim to Bosnia and Herzegovina?**

Russia would have been interested in helping Serbia claiming Bosnia and Herzegovina because Russia is in same group, Slavic groupp. Since Russia is not friends with Austria-Hungary and countries were competing each other for more land for their country. Russia might have been glad that a their friend and alley country is gaining land.
 * Why might Russia have been interested in helping further that claim?**

Germany and Austria- Hungary have resisted any moves for Bosnia because they didn't want to lose Bosnia. Having more land or colonies meant that they were strong country. If they didn't resist against any moves for Bosnia, Servia would come and take the land for free. Austria-Hungary is cutting down some of its profits if it goes to Servia. They will just be giving money to their enimies.
 * Why would Germany and Austria-Hungary have resisted any moves for Bosnia ( used to mean Bosnia and Herzegovina) secession from Austria- Hungary?**

__**Impact of Nationalism**__
 * __2/17/12__**

Do you think nationalism has had a more positive or negative impact on the world? Support your answer with evidence. I think nationalism has had a more positive impact on the world because it helped us to make national language, unite people of same country more, and democracy is introduced. Creation of national language helped people in same country to communicate more efffectively and easily. Unity of people in same country helped people to be more united when war happened and people needed to fight against another country. Introduction of democracy was a big thing. Democracy made decisions to be made based on majority. For example, laws were passed if majority of citizens agreed those laws.

Unification Unification is combining of two politically separate lands but culturally similar lands. For example, East Germany and West Germany combined together after long years of separation. They are politically different countries but they were from similar ancestors.
 * __Types of Nationalist Movements__**

Separation Separation is a state or country refusing to join or separate from another country that is culturally different from them. An example of separation is Japan and Korea. Japan was colonizing Korea and Korea wanted to separate from Japan. Korea and Japan was culturally different countries even though it had some similarities.

State-building State- building is a state being formed by taking culturally different people and accepting one culture. A example of state-being is United States. United States added more states to states that they had and made a country called United States. They weren't culturally related. They agreed on one culture and follow the culture.

What do you think would have happened to the empires (e.g. Austrian Empire, Ottoman Empire) during the rise of nationalism? I think the empires would have fallen apart during the rise of nationalism due to conflicts inside the empire. It might have been taken by another country.

3. What does the title of the cartoon say about the cartoonist's view os Italian unification? The title of the cartoon tells me that cartoonist really wanted Italy to be unified.

__**Case Study: Germany**__ Flow Chart

Looking at the map on page 263, answer the two geography skill builder questions.
1) What was unusual about the territory of Prussia as it existed in 1865? Unusual thing about the territory of Prussian territories in 1865 is that a territory is divided by Hanover and Hesse.

2)) After 1865, what year saw the biggest expansion of Prussian Territory? I saw biggest expansion of Prussian Territory in 1871.

New sybol
The new national symbol for Germany is two children holding hands and a big black eagle on top of them. Two children represent two children from each side of Germany. Black eagle which is a symbol for Germany is used to symbolize the government. The shadow represents their past. Children are walking away from their past and going toward the big black eagle. It is meant to forget about the past and move onto present where they are united again under one government without any negative feelings for each other.

Indians in the lowest levels of their society can benefit from the constitution in Document H by other people not addressing them as " the untouchables". They will be equal under the Indian Constitution and they won't be discriminated even though their jobs might not be great.

8. Using only the information contained in the documents, answer the following question: How would British colonization have a lasting impact on the people of India? Use examples from the documents to support your answer. British colonization has introduced new technologies that Britain had at the time. In document J, the caption says that India is a land of many contrasts. Some aspects of India are very modern and others cling to long-held traditions. This means that India has some of its traditions left and some very modern stuffs which would have got influence from Britain. In document L, New York Times talks about how much India's economy developed. British helped to raise India's economy as it was extracting goods from India when it wasn't independent.

**Critical Thinking:** 9. ** //Analyzing Causes// ** What were the causes of the cultural conflict between the British and the Indians? Causes of the cultural conflict between the British and the Indians were religion, traditions, and prior knowledge. British didn't really understand why Indians refused to rip of cartridges which was greased with grease of pig and cow.British didn't know that Hinduism worshiped cows or Muslims can't eat pigs. Traditions of how things went could have caused problem too. For example, US might not understand that it is not polite to bow down to adults to when you meet them in awhile. American could have visited a elder's house and not bow down and the elder might be mad at American but he or she won't know why the elder is not happy at you. It is just difference in culture. For prior knowledge, India wasn't really a developed country until British came. They didn't know that raw materials that come from India could be sold at such a expensive price in European countries. British might feel that Indians are not smart because they don't understand what they are talking about. Indians might have not heard of such a thing before. Few years ago, my friend told me about Taylor Swift being good at singing and I was who is Taylor Swift. She was saying that I am so bad at knowing singers but the truth was I never heard about that singer.

Introduction to new things helped to know about the world that they couldn't get contact without British's help. Industrialization helped to produce things at quicker rate with better quality. Negative effects of British Rule in India is India not being able to have freedom because British are controlling everything according to their gain. Natural resources are destroyed to sell at Europe. It is a loss for India because its lands are getting ruined. India lost some of its old traditions that were ignored by British.

11. ** //Drawing Conclusions// ** How were Gandhi's four general principles effective in dealing with a much more powerful Great Britain?

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? Feudalism was the money that the King and people close to the king had. People could get money only by promising king their loyalty to them. Wealthy nobles, land owners promised their loyalty and knights promised protection to the king. King trusted them. Peasants who were in third class worked hard all day paid expensive taxes. Mercantilism developed after feudalism. Its purpose was to reduce the number of imports and increase the number of exports. Capitalism is different from feudalism or mercantilism where group mattered. Capitalism was more focused on each individual. Capitalism is about private ownership and there is no government interference with it unlike feudalism and mercantilism. It only mattered about high selling price and low cost for making things.
 * __Economic Imperialism__**

2) According to this lecturer, what forces drive capitalism? According to the lecturer, economical growth and Europe's imperialism drove capitalism. Europe competed against each other to produce more and better things at cheaper price. Different classes of people started to see the benefits at different times. This affected 21st century greatly.

Cartoons are still not well understood, so keep working on that. Your definition of mercantilism is incomplete, and does not clearly show the difference between it and capitalism. 14/20

__**Table**__


__**Document Based Questions**__
 * Do Darwin’s theories apply to culture and society? Why or why not? Use the excerpts above and strong examples to support your points.**
 * I think Darwin's theories apply to culture and society because females look for males that are visually attractive and males look for females that are visually attractive. Males and females with not visual attractiveness might not get a girlfriend or a boyfriend and not pass down their genes to the next generation(children). Darwin talks about one species of animal taking over another species of animals even though they might be related. I think it can be applied by people's characteristics. Genes that are favored will be passed on and genes that are not favored won't get passed down. In the world that we are living now, females are asked to be tall, skinny, smart, pretty, and have good cooking skills. Males are asked to be tall, muscular, strong, good jobs, good education, and nice looking.**

So do you actually SEE that only these "fit" people find a mate? In your table, which are justifications and which are reasons?

9/10

__White Men's Burden__ 1. “The White Man’s Burden” is that white people have responsibility of making colonies in undeveloped country and rule them. I think the poem is saying that white people are greater than people who are living in undeveloped countries. White people look down on people who are living in their colonies.

2. I disagree with what Kipling said. He is being racist and saying that white people are better than other races which are also human like them.

3. I think Europeans and Americans must have treated other races not like humans since they thought they were better than other people around the world. In the poem it says, “To veil the threat of terror and check the show of pride”. This tells me that they greater and smarter than other races and they should help with their government to help their economy.

4. I don’t think KIS is not an example “The White Man’s Burden” in modern Korean society because students or faculties don’t judge people or look down on people even though they might be different race or how much education people got.

I'd like to see a little more "in-depth" answers to questions. 9/10

Julie's Mindmap

Why would Andrew Carnegie and Friedrich Engels disagree about the effects of industrialization? Carnegie and Engels would disagree about the effects of industrialization because Carnegie is saying that it is helping the economy to grow better and better but Engels in arguing that it is not helping but destroying. Engels complains about how people don’t know the pure truth about what working class is living like.

What might be reasons for 16 year old Mary Paul’s satisfaction with her job and life in Lowell? I think shorter working hours, better pay, and better working condition might be reasons for 16 year old Mary’s satisfaction with her job and life in Lowell because she doesn’t have to work like a slave like before when unions were not created.

Why might the political cartoon by Walter Crane be useful in getting workers to rally to the cause of socialism? The political cartoon might be useful in getting workers to rally to the cause of socialism because different workers have different opinion of how socialism is going. People who don’t like might have negative comments about it and people who like it will have positive comments about it.

I don't think Marx would have agree that these countries were communist because Marx's definition of communism was a perfect world where there is no inequality and government's purposes are lost. However, in the communist countries have huge inequality between the rich and the poor. Communists countries are started by a dictator taking control over the government and not giving benefits to the people in lower class and only giving most of the benefits to the wealthy class who don't really need the benefits desperately. So, Marx's definition of communist is not applied in real world.

2. What has happened to the "communist" world (once called the "Second World", to distinguish it from the "First World" -- wealthy capitalist countries, and the "Third World" -- poor countries)? The communist countries became to have one main government who had all the power and other small government who had really the minor power and to keep a eye on what people were doing. It became more isolated from several things from the world. Majority of the people don't earn much money compared to other people in same class in other countries. Benefits are only given to minority of the people.

3. Why do you think this has happened? I think this happened because a group of people though communist will be a good plan and a dictator came along the way and kept it that way. Then, the dictator might have made a government that made it impossible to replace him. Force could have been used to make people listen to what he or she wanted to do. The government might have used the money on themselves and give little money to their citizens. They also might have gave more money to people who the ruler favors.

4. What do you think of the idea that the growing gap between the rich and poor in the industrialized world never materialized (see p. 270) because of the Union movement (the formation of trades unions who unite to demand better working conditions for workers) and reform laws (to improve conditions for workers, eg. safety requirements, limits on the length of the working day, minimum wages)? I think all countries in the world might have become communist countries. There won't be LEDC( Less Economically Developed Countries) and MEDC ( More Economically Deceloped Countries). Many of the countries will be similar to North Korea and China. There might not have been development from start of Industrial Revolution.

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 think it was mixed blessing for adults only. Children had to work long hours and endanger themselves to machines every day. Children got sick easily and didn't have time to play. For children, it was more like a loss. Adults got money later on and they could buy better quality things with the money. Children had to spend their childhood working and not have time to spend with family.

January 25th,12 I saw that children were big part of the Industrial Revolution. Children were expected to work like adults despite the fact that their body hasn’t matured yet like adults who are fully developed and work for long period of time. The condition of where people were working were terrible. I can see the reason why two young girls were holding up signs saying stop slavery in two languages. Children were brought to factory to work with big machines. I see that girls were taught how to make clothes by experienced women. Children could get easily sick from working for long period of time in the factory. In the last picture, I see people in nice clothes and having nice time in front of a factory.

Napoleon’s empire collapses because Napoleon had a dream that was too big for France to handle. Napoleon kept fighting with other country and he lost too much man to continue that event. Money was ran out and there weren’t enough people to go to war and fight. The nation lost too much man from the revolution and battles.
 * __ Answer for question 4 and 5 __**
 * Why did Napoleon’s empire collapse?**

Goals of Congress of Vienna were to create a peace plan for Europe that can be used for long period of time. People feared France because of what was happening in France. People were getting executed by using guillotine. A period called The Great Fear was happening in France. Other countries were terrified.
 * What were the goals of the Congress of Vienna?**

Reason why I chose the picture. I chose the picture of scale for my quote because my quote mentions about crime and scales measures things, so I thought scale might represent my quote.

What is absolutism? Absolution is an idea that one person should have all the power like monarch. Absolution was from 15th century to 18th century. Absolution is similar to monarchy. King's power was believed to be given from God. The king only had to obey God's law. King was the one who was in charge. Kings could just make laws without having discussions with other people. NObody could stop the kings from taking actions except God. People had to follow the king’s command since he was the only and strongest power.

Explain the justification for absolutism referred to as the 'divine right of kings'. Justification for absolutism was the divine right of monarchs to rule. Justification means proof. Justification came from various sources and tradition. Monarchs are thought to be representative of God. People couldn’t challenge the monarchs. It was thought to be the only system of government to maintain order among the unruly masses. Monarchs were the only one making decisions. People who challenged the monarchs were thought to be challenging God as well. People thought only one monarch should rule the people and that person will get the absolute power.

List the causes of the rise of Absolutism in Europe

There are several causes of the rise of Absolution in Europe. Absolution is an idea that one person will be given great power and rule people Absolution helped people to be organized. After Reformation, people were confused about who is ruling them. Bible might also have caused the rise of Absolution in Europe. Mercantilism would have also caused the Absolution/ Before, the Church had all the power. Bible was the textbook for how the life should be lived. People got interested in trading and they wanted money. So, they could have wanted a leader who could control the people with great power.

Explain briefly how absolutism developed in Spain: As the generations was passed down, the Habsburg’s royal family was able to own more land, and absolutism developed. France: Louis XI wanted to control the internal conflicts. So, he used his power to people who will disobey him and go against him. That is how absolutism was used in France. England: English used absolutism to improve the lives of English people and gain more power. They wanted to gain power by support and obedience from the citizens. Russia: Absolutism developed when Russia was in war. They reduced the Church’s power by great amount and help their industries to develop and their economy to get better.

Four questions from the Video 1. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was the bald rat. Japan wanted to build its empire in Korea. A secret weapon called turtle ship stopped Japan from building its empire as planned. 4. They didn’t try again because Hideyoshi’s son, who was the only one who can take the crown died with his mom. So, there wasn’t anyone who could continue Hideyoshi’s great plans.

Edicts for 1635 Author: I think this was written by Tokugawa shogunate.

Place and Time: This document was written in Nagasaki, Japan in early 17th century.

Prior Knowledge: I know that Japan is a country that is formed by several islands connected together.

Audience: This source was created for Japanese authorities.

Reason: This source was produced because the shogunates wanted to prevent foreign influences. These documents were rules sent to the government which would block any contact with foreigners. They wanted to stay in power, and so they isolated Japan.

The Main Idea: The source is trying to convey the point that Tokugawa shogunate was really desperate to stay in power. He uses strong verbal words and is really terrified about foreign cultures influencing Japan. He is willing to execute people who might bring foreign influence to Japan.

Significance: This source is important because this was a new set of rules that would be sent to the government and these rules would have a big impact on Japan’s economy and relationship with other countries.

Qianlong Author: The author of this source is emperor of Qing Dynasty. The author doesn’t understand that they are not center of the world any more.

Place and time: This was written in late 18th century. I think this was probably written in Emperor’s study in Beijing.

Prior Knowledge: I know that Chinese shut itself from the world after Zhu Di died and there was no other emperor who could match Zhu Di.

Audience: The audience is King George the III.

Reason: This source was produced to notify King George that China doesn’t want England to trade with Chinese other than in Guang Zhou.

The main idea: China didn’t want to trade with England because China can get everything they want in China.

Significance: This document tells me that Chinese emperor was eragont and thought of China as center of the world. I can tell that the emperor didn’t treat the king well as he should have.

Countries with more than 1 Muslims This map tells that quite a lot of Muslims were living in China like Zheng He.

Voyages of Zheng He This map tells that fleets lead by Zheng He had traveled the countries and continents in detail. I think this map also shows that different fleets left China at different times. They went down and they came up again to go to another country.

See, Think, Wonder

I see a group of people in capsule like thing. I think the group of people is headed toward somewhere. I wonder why the man is in the capsule like thing.

I see one man being separated from a group of people. I think the man fell down from the capsule like thing. I wonder why the man is being separated from a group of people.

China's Golden Ages This picture shows me a huge ship with golden mast and a small ship next to the golden mast ship. I think the small ship represents Europe because the ship has the symbol of Columbus' ship and the golden ship represents China because it has Chinese design on the ship. Santa Maria looks so small compared to the golden masted ship. Even though, Santa Maria wasn't a small ship in Europe, it still looks small.

Europe in 1400 I predict that the Holy Roman Empire would have come east of France and south of Crown of Bohemia. Emperor of Byzantium came from west of Ottoman Sultanate of Rome and south of Moldavia. The dodge of Venice would have come from east of Duchy of Milan and south of Austria. The kings of England would have come from south of Scotland and east of Leinster. Kings of France would have come from east of Duchy of Brittany and west of Duchy & County of Burgandy. Kings of Castile would have come from east of Portugal and west of Aragon. Kings of Portugal would have came from west of Kingdom of Castile and north of Kingdom of The Marinids.

Territories of Dynasties This map shows shows me that the China gets expands itself further away as the dynasty passes. Then, for some time, the land expansion is stopped for time and then it expands again. After that, it becomes the land size of current China.

The Silk Road Silk road passed through modern countries, India, Persia, Arabia, Somalia, Egypt, and other countries surrounding the countries listed.

European Population in 1400s and 1600s The map shows that European population was mostly focused in Germany but at 1600s, the European population got more focused in Italy. Also, the map shows that at 1600s, Europeans began to spread throughout Europe. Number of Europeans that settled in England increase by thousands.

Comparing Two Maps The first map shows brief description of what is around Forbidden City but the second map shows detailed picture of what is around the Palace Museum(Forbidden City). For the first map, it shows many gates that would lead to inside but the second map shows building and plazas that are around the museum recently. The first map shows more detailed map of surrounding places of Forbidden City and the second map shows less detailed map of surrounding places of Forbidden City. At the time that the Forbidden City was built, Forbidden City was considered quite large but when you take a look at the second map, you can see that Forbidden City is just a small part of Beijing.

Great Wall Map If the Great Wall extended straight for 6400 kilometers, the wall will probably end in Lanzhou.

Prime Meridian The globe shows where Greenwich is in England, where is Prime Meridian, and where the Equator is. Prime Meridian is 0 degrees in longitude. Equator divides world into half in horizontal way. Countries near Equator is warmer and as it gets farther away from Equator, the weather gets colder.

Grand Canal Map This map shows the Grand Canal which stretches from Beijing to Hangzhou. This road showed the great power of the emperor because many men were used to complete the canal and the road was quite long.

The maps mean Islam was spreading its power slowly around the world as Europe was just staying in its place and not spreading. It also means that Islam was progressing toward success as Europe was not going toward success but doing the opposite.

Interview of my mom's marriage

media type="file" key="Julie Kwon-Augusr 24th,2011-F Block-Family History Project( Mom's Marriage Interview).m4a" width="300" height="50"



Photo of my mom's marriage necklace My dad gave this as a marriage gift.



My mom and dad's marriage photo You can see my mom threw the bouquet and her friend has almost caught it.



Proof of Marriage This shows that my mom is married to dad.



1. Brief Description of the Source The picture which is an unwritten source is a primary source because it was taken at the time of my parent's marriage. This picture tells us that my mom threw the bouquet to her friend and she almost caught. This shows how my mom looked at the time of marriage. The necklace is also a unwritten source and this is primary source because my dad gave it to my mom when they got married. This is significant to my key point because this necklace is a source tells me what husbands gave to wives at marriage. Proof of marriage is a written source and it is also primary like other sources. This tells me that my mom and dad is officially wife and spouse. Interview with my mom is a secondary source because this was not taken at the time of marriage. This tells me many information about her marriage.

2. Source Type Unwritten and Written sources are all primary sources but interview with my mom is a secondary source.

3. Short Explanation of Source's Importance These sources help me to explain about my parent's marriage because if I just tel the story, some people might not believe me or don't really understand the story but when I have the sources, I can show the other people about the details. These sources help me to explain and help to make my presentation more interesting.

4. Written or oral (e.g. podcast) recount of the event with direct reference to all of the sources My mom was working part time in the hospital that my dad was staying as intern because she wanted to earn money to get pressure off her mom. My mom met my father when he was passing by with his friends and she thought he looked so kind. My father asked her out ans they started to date. Since my mom went to college twice because she wanted to change her major and my dad went to college twice because he was a doctor, he was pretty old. My mom married before she finished with her fourth year of college. So, my dad cooked for her until she graduated.
