Europe Both Japan cities were destroyed cities destroyed peace treaty agriculture destroyed Japanese accepted the US constitution no water, electricity, not enough supplies emperor was viewed as divine



I believe it is right because Japanese and Nazi caused the most harm in the world and other than them there were no other countries that threatened the world like they did. For example, Nazi killed million of Jews and the Japanese were so efficient and fast in grabbing land. That also goes for Germany. They were both powerful and it threatened the world, especially Germany for Europe. Allies didn't care as much for Asia as they did with Germany because they were in Europe. The leaders should get punished because ultimately, they were controlling their countries to do that.
 * Write a paragraph on your gallery page answering the question, "Do you think it was right for the Allies to try only Nazi and Japanese leaders for war crimes? Explain your thinking."

twins- it must be traumatizing that they had to go through that in their early life, I don't think that time won't ver go away or be forgotten by them

brothers- It makes me cry thinking that they couldn't do anything and such actions and violence I think would have impacted him the whole life and if I were him, I would be traumatized for live I think. The fact that they couldn't even hug because of they lost the ability to love and do that because of all the horrific things they've been through made me feel so sad and shocked at the same time.

Mordechai Eldar's Story- I don't think I can imagine any of us actually being in the situation that he was in. Starving, fighting for water, wearing dead people's clothes to stay alive, but knowing that you weren't going to make it and was pretty much a very fat chance. It makes me wonder how strong and how much we naturally want to live as a human being.

Zanne Farbstein- It's upsetting to watch and that her sisters gave up and she stayed strong. I don't think I could of done that and when she said she couldn't believe she was living like a normal human being, it shook me hard, I always have thought that marrying and having children was normal and so common, but to people like her it obviously wasn't.

Yaakov Hollander- the fact that the hardest thing for him was that he couldn't share the cake makes me wonder how much he had depended and only had him as a family to look up to. Other siblings wouldn't even care to eat the whole cake, but I realized how hard times bring people closer.

Sophie Engelsman- weighing 81 pounds and living like that in concentration camps, being sick, it makes me want to go back in time or something because the way she was treated, makes me angry at the concentration camps. It makes me proud that she helped babies too and makes me proud to be a female :)

Eva Brown- I'm so glad she is happy where she is and she is successful in life. The only thing is that she seems to be quite reserved and quite unemotional. I hope she lives happily ever after and not let her past make her bitter.

Video Question 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 Hollywood version is very dramatic, gross, and makes us feel things. I think that is the point of it. It's more gross, violent, graphic and it makes us feel very unfortunate for the men and have this gross feeling in the stomach. The documentary was much more realistic looking and it was less dramatic and exaggerated. I think the documentary is more true because it's much more realistic and it's not exaggerated as much or at all. Also, it's based only on facts and written sources.

Paragraph on Japan's Internment It seemed that US was seeing the Japanese living in US more of a threat than they ever saw Germans. Also, their businesses and all the things they owned were being destroyed, they were outcasted by the rest of the society that they lived in because the country their ethnicity is from was doing things. It seems unfair for the individuals and the ones that are not spies. The thing I don't get the most is how they could be so fearful of the Japanese and not the Germans. They did nothing with the Germans when Germany was invading the world and fighting with the US. What was it about the Japanese that they made them so miserable and send them off to camps and not the Germans?

1. Wartime propaganda [|cartoon by Walt Disney]. As you watch, record your answers to the following...
I see the time when Hitler was in power. I can tell because everyone is salting to Hitler and he is controlling everyone. I get the message that Hitler and Nazi were bad and drove people nuts. It seemed like they were abusive of people and they did not treat them nicely. Also it tells me that it is not a good place to live, as in when the Nazis are in power because when Donald Duck wakes up, he sees like he lives in America and he his happy that he is. I think they produced these kind of cartoons because they were used as propaganda. It was showing how Nazism was bad and how Donald DUck, being part of Nazi, was miserable. This showed young children NOT to like and support the Nazism, but to hate and fear it. I mainly think this was for the children and they were the main audience and the target by showing how their favorite character Donald Duck was miserable because of Hitler. This makes the children have hatred against Hitler and basically Nazism.

Life was not good for the children and many lived in fear. Also, they carried their memories of being through a war as children into their adult hood life. People were allowed only a certain amount of food and it wasn't a lot. Food was not in abundance and it was restricted and limited. Clothes were also limited, what they were was set and dressing the family as a mum was a hard job. Also, each person had a handbook on their food ration. Women did jobs that originally men would be doing. Women were not underestimated and they gained a better reputation. The overall view of women changed. It glorified working at factories and made it look positive and good about Nazism. It caught their attention and was the only part type of thing they had access to see.

Cartoon Descriptions

1) The Americans viewed the Japanese invasion as cruel and quite shocking. It seemed like The League of Nations wanted to stop them. I think they were a little scared of the Japanese after seeing what they had done and what they were capable of doing.

2) This cartoon is from a Japanese point of view and it seems like they view Americans/ West as being lazy and living off of Japan. You can tell from the fact that the Americans are fat and being carried by the Japanese.

3) This cartoon views Japanese expansion as being ignorant to the League of Nation's values and all. I think whoever drew this feel like Japan isn't living in harmony with the world and the League of Nation

4) This cartoon is viewing Japan as a threat and that they are a menace. This seems to me that the drawer is trying to convey that Japanese are bad, and are threats so they should destroy them.

Japan attacked US for more resources like they invaded other countries. US also was not in agreement with Japan and supported China when Japan was trying to invade. US also stopped oil shipments to Japan.

summary December 7, 1941- Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, US

December 7, 1941- US was late to respond and US navy was damaged

December 8, 1841- US Congress declares war on Japan

December 11, 1814- Japan's allies Germany, Italy declared war on US

early 1941- Japan had two plans: 1) to negotiate to expand their land in Asia 2) to attack US if the negotiation fails

> Questions (post answers on your gallery page): > **1) What was Operation Sea Lion?** Operation Sea Lion was the decision of Hitler to invade Britain in 1940.

> **2) Why did the battle not look good for Britain?** Battle did not look good for Britain since they weren't as well equipped and Germany was.

> **3) What advantage did Britain have?** Britain had an advantage of having a radar. It could warn Britain to get ready and it was effective so that the damage would be less. Also, Great Britain had many alliances.

> **4) What was Germany's mistake?** In 1940, Germany planned to bomb London and other big major Britain cities.

> **5) What was the impact of the bombing of London? How did the bombing of London aid Britain's cause?** London after being bombed was destroyed, caused lots of damage, like fires, building destroyed and people dead. It aided Britain, because it gave time to improve their air force and therefore, their air force became stronger and better.

> **6) Why was the outcome of the battle of Britain significant for the Allies?** The outcome was quite significant for the allies since it showed that they could defeat Hitler. It showed Hitler's weakness and that was quite surprising to the world as the plan that he had in mind did not work out the way he wanted.

Britain was able to hold off the German invasion even though they had a weaker military because the people there including the king was determined, united to stand against Hitler and not flee. Also, they had radars which helped them to know before time and expect it. They could evacuate the area that the planes were going to come. Because it showed from miles and miles away, where the plane was coming, it gave time for Britain. Also, women played quite an important role. They helped men, carry out communications, provide food, work jobs like the men. An example of whole Britain being united, even the king stayed in London where it being bombed and people also stood along with him as the king encouraged people to stay where they were and gave them hope.
 * Read the newspaper below about the Battle of Britain, and watch the two videos, then write a short paragraph that explains why the British were able to hold off the German invasion when they were militarily weaker. Use evidence to support your ideas. **

 * Read textbook p 492-496 and use this and your previous reading from the chapter to complete Section 1 Assessment #2 (a chart of turning points for the Allies) and a paragraph answering #8 (comparing Hitler and Napoleon's invasions of Russia).

2) Which of the listed events might be considered as a turning point for the Allies? Why? Allies being stranded at Dunkrik might be the turning point because that was a success for allies stopping Germany. Before, the world wasn't willing to stop the world, but as Britain joined in, they were able to successfully defeat the Germans. 8) How were Napoleon's invasion of Russia and Hitler's invasion of the Solviet Union similar? Napoleon's invasion and Hitler's invasion are similar in the sense that they both had the same problems and they were both in a similar situation before. They both quickly gained power when their countries were struggling and they started conquering lands very quickly. They also faced the same problem invading Russia. It was that they both attacked during winter and could not and was not ready for the winter in Russia. Also, the both tried to invade Russia, but failed to at the end. = = = =

4)How did the Treaty of Versailles add to China's problems?
The Treaty of Versailles added problems for China since the result of the treaty was that Japan was going to have the land that was German property in China. This was a problem since they were trying to regain power and having Japan trying to invade more of China's land was not going to help China be powerful again.

**Station 2:**

 * Look at this [|Website on Japan's 1931 invasion of China]. Read the Chapter in Brief on "Modernization in Japan", paying particular attention to Japan's invasion of Korea. Then read "A Justification of Japanese Expansionism". With these 3 sources, write a short chapter for a English-language history book to be used in Korean high schools about Japan's role in Asia in the first half of the 20th century. Decide what graphs, charts, maps or images (up to 3) you would want to include (these do not need to be "real" -- just describe what you'd like them to show, and come up with a title or caption for each)**.** Post on your gallery page.

Japan was very isolated in the early 1600s and 1800s with limited contact to the world. However, in 1853, Japan had opened up trade with America and Europe. Due to the disagreement of open trade, Emperor Mutsuhito overthrew power and became the emperor himself from 1867 to 1912 which was called Meiji era. He was determined to modernize Japan, so sent out government officials trying to make Japan like other countries, more modernized. As Japan adapted from countries like Germany and America, htey also built railroads, mined coal, and factories. This resulted in huge raise in Japan's economy and it had the strongest military in easy by 1890. The next step for Japan was then to spread their territory and influence, just like how they were influenced. J apan started to spread their territory in Asia by first going to war with China. It drove China out of Korea, won Taiwan and other islands as colonies. In 1910, Japan attacked Korea (there was no North and South back then) and gained total control and only taught Japanese with Japanese history. They gave away land in Korea to Japanese settlers and only allowed Japanese to run businesses. Also, Koreans and Chinese were ordered to be labors, and were shipped away from their home to work. In which then in response, Koreans protested against the Japanese Rule and eventually got their freedom. Japan also surprised the world by winning Russia for Manchurian land in 1904. As Japan increased its territory and expanded, the world started criticizing Japan for its policies. When Europe started getting mad at Japan for it's attack on Manchuria, Japan had to explain their actions, they needed a justification. Their justification was quite simple. For Japan, they said, there were only three ways left to handle their packed population: immigration, advancing in world markets, and expanding their territory. Immigration was impossible for Japan since there was anti-Japanese immigration policies in other countries and advancing world market is hampered by the tariff policies. They reasoned that the only option left for them was to expand their territories. By expansion of territory, they stated that they were there to help the 'untamed savages' and claimed that the people there did not know how to develop the properly. Japan also stated that they were trying to promote happiness and it was essentially God's Will.

Was Mao a better or worse national leader than Stalin? Answer on your gallery page. I'm not sure who to say is worse or better national leader. I believe they are quite both evil and have no sympathy. I believe that Mao is the worse national leader. Although Stalin did kill many people without any reason and made his country miserable and although Mao did the same thing, I think Mao's impact was worse. Stalin, even though he had damaged his country badly, he developed his country and modernized it while Mao's actions did not have the greater results of modernizing. = = = = = = = = = =

The Russian Revolution occurred for a several reasons. One of the reasons was that Russia wanted out of the war they were fighting due to the countless lives being lost. Also, the king's idea of making Russia industrialized did not work well. The workers were given very little wages, with bad working conditions and made them protest and get angry. Also, there were food shortages in Russia.

What is the message that this poster is trying to get out to the Russian people?This poster was trying to get the Russian people to believe and see the message of what Lenin is about and his messages to them.

The Treaty of Versailles reflected on very different personalities of the leaders by really seeing what they wanted, which is pretty much what agendas mean. France wanted lots of things, due to the extreme damage on their land and their nation. They wanted money, land, agreements, protection, tear down the country, humiliation, and make the Central Powers pay the cost. All this was demanded from Germany, due to several reasons. First, the other countries such as Belgium, Austria Hungary, Ottoman Empire, and their allies didn't have much money and there wasn't much to get out of. Germany, being the least damaged by the war, was required for all the desires of the winners. Therefor, Germany had to give land, sign forms that protected France, lots of money, and made them crawl on their knees for humiliation. France was angry at the Germans for what the fighting had done to their country and wanted everything they could get from Germany for revenge. The United States in the other hand, didn't want anything from the meeting. All it wanted, or all the president wanted was to show his idea of the future perfect world which was to achieve his personal dream. Why did America not want anything? It was simply because they didn't need anything. Therefor, America wasn't demanding at all, but saw the meeting to present his idea for the perfect world in the future that would never have a war like WWI. Other countries such as Japan, Italy, Serbia wanted money, land, and whatever they could get out of the war. They all wanted anything they could get and that was about it. From the Treaty of Versailles, we can see the characteristics and personalities of the countries by seeing what they want from the meeting and from the loser countries. = = = =

There is quite a big difference between the two maps. The European Alliances Map shows no more than countries involved in the war and which side they are on. The countries on this map are equal, they are not portrayed in any special way to send any kind of message of a certain country or power. However, the second map views the countries differently. The countries in the second map are represented by animals, weapons, and other war related things. However, if you look closely at the map, you'll see that there are skeletons representing Serbia, which shows how they are weak while the Austria Hungary is attacking, shown with modern technology an**d industrializat**ion. Also, Italy which is shown to be neutral in the European Alliances Map doesn't look so neutral in Leviathan Grand Map because there are little baby snakes that looks like it's going to attack Austria Hungary. The legends are also different. They are labelled as Darwinist, Clanker**,** and neutral. **I also notice** that Austria Hungary and Germany are shown to be industrially modernized since they are shown as powerful weapons such as cannons. Overall, I think the way the authors though of the war was different for each of the maps.
 * European Alliances Map and Leviathan Grand Map**

The Balkan Peninsula Map and European Alliances Map both show the geography of Europe in the sense of countries in Europe. However, Balkan Peninsula Map shows where the Slavic population was in various places in Europe.
 * Balkan Peninsula Map and the European Alliances Map**

Serbia may have wanted to have access to the Adriatic Sea geographically for trading ports, and other. Also, nationalism was encouraged and Serbia wanted to brig the Slavic groups to unite. Russia might have been interested because it also had lots of Slavic groups. Also, it may have wanted to keep the alliance between Serbia and Russia. Losing Bosnia would be a great land loss which meant that it would be Russia and Serbia's**. That would not benefit Germany or Austria Hungary in that case.**
 * Why might Serbia have staked a claim to Bosnia and Herzegovina?**
 * Why might Russia have been interested in helping further that claim?**
 * Why would Germany and Austria-Hungary have resisted any moves for Bosnian (used to mean Bosnia and Herzegovina) secession from Austria-Hungary?**

Class 16 Feb 17 2012

Positive -people in the same nation were coming over their differences -colonialism was abandoned -there were democratic governments in nations -competition between nations caused scientific and technological advances

Negative -competition within nations caused wars -ethnic cleansing such as Bosnia in the 1990's -extreme nationalism movements for example Nazism -forced assimilations of minority cultures into nation's major culture

Do you think nationalism has had a more positive or negative impact on the world? Support your opinion with evidence. I think nationalism had more negative impact in the world although there were many positive impact as well because of the wars. Competition between the nations caused wars and extreme nationalism movements such as Nazism occurred. The outcome of the wars was poverty. Many countries that were in wars and lost were poor which meant that people starved and couldn't afford to live well as the gap between the poor and the rich increased as well. Also, Nazism, which occurred due to Hitler's strong nationalism and patriotic feelings towards his country, caused massive destruction of Jews. The camps, holocaust, and many other horrific actions scarred the history of Jews and killed many as well. Another negative impact was that certain ethnicities in the world were being destroyed for example, Bosnia in the 1990's when Bosnian Muslims were killed. All those violent acts were due to the negative impacts of nationalism.

1. Using the table above, explain the characteristics of each type of Nationalistic movement in your own words. Unification- Characteristics include politically divided lands, but are culturally similar. Even though they are politically different, they have culturally similar lands. Separation- Characteristics include being a group being culturally different that tries to break away or resists being added to some other state or nation. Those groups want to make their own nation for example, the Muslims that wanted to break away from India and create Pakistan. State-building- Characteristics include culturally different groups coming together into a single new state or nation by accepting one culture. Even though they have different cultures, they are able to accept one culture and create a new state or nation. 2. What do you think would have happened to the empires (e.g. Austrian Empire, Ottoman Empire) during the rise of nationalism? For the Ottoman empire, I think they will be a separation of the country by nationalism because of the Greeks that want to break away or don't want to be added //that was a the type of nationalist movements. For countries like the US, which are state building, obviously came together, accepting one culture and created a new single nation. I don't think much happened to Germany and Italy which were under the type of unification because there were no big actions specifically although were united.//

//1) The boot symbolizes Italy because Italy looks like a boot and because Garibaldi didn't want to be the king, he is giving up the power of Italy to Sardinia who is in the bottom helping take off his boots.//

//2) Garibaldi is portrayed as more superior or higher class than the man below because the man is helping Garibaldi put his boots on which one who was higher class than Garibaldi wouldn't do. Also, if you look closely at his face, you can tell that Garibaldi has that haughty face looking down at the man. Also, the man has a frown on his face which indicates that be didn't like Garibaldi or what he was doing.//

//3) Looking at the title which is 'Right Leg in the Boot at Last' I assume that the cartoonist is finally glad that he has at last given the country up to Sardinia although he uses irony because the king of Italy actually is taking off the boot. I think the cartoonist is saying that Sardinia is the right person to control the king and he should be in power of Italy.//

//1) Create a flow chart that shows the key led the unification of Germany.//



//1- The unusual fact about the territory of Prussia in 1865 is that the western Prussia and Eastern Prussia aren't joined together, but have bunch of foreign lands in between.// //2- Prussia had the biggest expansion in the year of 1817.//

//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.//

The hands that are holding on to arms symbolize unity as Germany was united. The cross in the middle represents the German military. Also, the eagle in the middle represents the power and strength of the new country as it is united. Also, I chose these symbols because I feel like those were the main things for Germany. The military was one of the most important things and the unity was strong. Also, I thought that the different looking arms and hands meant different people got together to be unified.

(Symbol was emailed) 20/20 Case study/ DBQ February 14 2012

Terms & Names 1) Sepoys: Sepoys were Indian soldiers who were angry at because they thought that the British were violating their religious customs because they had to bite off the tips of the cartridges of a cow or a pig's grease. They were the first ones to rebel against Britain and that influenced the Indian Revolution.

2) Sepoy Mutiny: As a result of Sepoy Mutiny, Britain was more in control which increased the anger of Indians who were treated as second class citizens in their countries. They were not happy with them as their religious, political divisions grew wider. This grip made Indians more unhappy with Britain which eventually led to their independence.

3) Congress Party: The Congress Party was supporting equality for Indians. They felt like they wanted to control themselves and not be as privileged as English. This was significant because it was an official group and revolution only happens when more people believe in the same thing.

4) Mohandas K. Ganhi: He suggested non violence instead of violence. He thought that violent revolution would not work against a military so strong like Britain. One of his ideas was not to obey the rules and so it would be impossible for the government to function so the leaders would have to change the laws to satisfy them. This was successful for Indians to make changes such as improve wages and working conditions. He also demonstrated and was the leader in protesting.

5) Muhammad Ali Jinnah: He encouraged and tried to unify Hindu and Muslim. However, the plan had failed, but later was the leader of Pakistan when India was divided into Pakistan which was what the Muslims demanded. He was partly responsible for the split.

Questions 1-13 1) The four factors that contributed to Britain's invasion of India was one, that the British military forces were more advanced than Indians. Two, the divided powers of India struggled for power so India wasn't a unified, strong country. Third, British plans were organized and the Indian's political system was not stable. Fourth, the British brought political stability, a better government, and system set of laws.

2) The cause of Sepoy Mutiny was because the Indians thought that the British were violating their religious customs The main result of it was that British government took more control over India.

3) The main groups and ideas that promoted the Indian independence was the Indian Nation Congress, educated Indians, Mohammad K Ganhi and Sepoys.

4) The four principals of Gandhi was one, to live simply as possible without material reward. Two, to be religiously free which means to tolerate other religions. Three, to be respectful to others. Four, always standup for rights with non violence.

5) Jinnah played an important role in partition of India. He wanted a separate country for Muslims and when the Congress Party refused, it caused greater tension. He was the leader of people who wanted a separate country for Muslims and he led them, so he was like the key person who was responsible for the split of India.

6) Sources that are pro Britain are sources C, E. Sources that are pro Indian are sources B, D, F

7) The lowest class of Indian society would benefit from source H especially because the idea on untouchables are now to be abandoned which means that the untouchables do not have to be discriminated against. Also, the right to freedom is given to them which include many rights that they did not have as being the untouchables.

8) Impact of British colonization would be lasting on Indians because they were invaded and because they were only invaded by them. There was no other powerful country that dominated India as Britain did. Therefore, the only impact they will ever have is impact of Britain and also, Britain invaded India as a whole, as they changed government and politics, not just a small part.

10) The causes of cultural conflict I think between the British and the Indians were that they had different religion and religious laws. For example, when the Indians had to bite off the grease of pigs and cows, it provoked them because it was religiously illegal for them to consume cow or pig. British, not having that religious rule, didn't understand and the fact that Indians had to do that angered Indians. Another cause was that Indians weren't treated equally to British. For example, even educated Indians were treated as second citizens in their own home country and they weren't allowed to get the top positions. Also, the British didn't mingle at all with Indians and therefore, they could of not understand each other.

11) The positive effect of British controlling India is that India is protected by Britain. Also, there was an organized and efficient government with set of laws. Also, India became more industrialized and modernized. The British government was much more organized and weren't chaotic. The negative effect of British controlling India would be that Indians aren't treated equally for example, they are treated as second citizens and couldn't hold a more superior position than Britains. Also, the benefits and profits were for the mother country, Britain. British also took their resources as well.

12) The reason why Muslims demanded a separate nation for them was because there was a conflict between the Hindu and Muslim. Muslims wanted a voice in the government and Hindus and Muslims fought for jobs in cities. Also, the effort of Jinnah to unify Muslim and Hindu failed as well which meant that they did not get along well with each other.

13) The reason why there ended up being 4 countries I think is because there were still tensions that were not resolved and cultural and political differences within the country. One of the groups I think eventually demanded for a new nation like the Muslims which was granted

video Q's 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?

Mercantilism- Mercantilism is an economic theory that the wealth comes from international trade. This system generated wealth because they were trading. Other nations and countries had things that a certain country didn't have and had demands for. They could trade with them, getting the thing that they don't have and giving something that they don't have and need. This system generated wealth since the traded goods were sold to the people in a higher price which then makes profit.

Feudalism- Feudalism created social classes for example in Europe, the three were clergy, knights, and peasants. Peasants were most of them, but the clergy (members of the church) were powerful and took advantage of that. For example, in the Middle Ages, people were so dedicated to the church that the church members made ridiculous statements like that people could buy their way to heaven. Those marketing of their own created wealth for clergy members.

Capitalism is different from the two because capitalism is when a powerful and more industrialized country invades a country that is less developed and use their resources and get labor, resources, and markets out of them. It didn't have to do with the social classes within the society nor did it have to do with trade. It was about taking over and benefiting themselves.

2) According to this lecturer, what forces drive capitalism? The force that drives capitalism are violence and industrialization. Violence gives control and makes people do what they want them to do. Industrialization creates economic wealth. That being said, the power used by it which are coal and other sources are really what drives capitalism.

Also, I think the woman is an angel for showing the man that there are children and people dying. However, the white imperialist man doesn't care and only looks at the map of the Philippines to plan for his next imperial move. This all makes the white imperialist man look like he is the bag, evil one, the Africans in the background the victims, and the woman opening the curtain is the angel, or the good person in this image. 2) What views of African and Asians are being communicated in each of the illustrations? The views of African here is shown to be victims and are killed by the imperialists and they are basically being abused.

The message here is to tell that Africans were being abused and are victims of the cruelty of the imperialists.

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. Feb 8, 2012

Darwin's theories does apply to culture and society. When he states that the fittest survives, it's true. Whether it's business, schools, a fight, or anything. There is competition everywhere. For example, the one who gets the best grades in school which is the 'fittest' in society. He or she will go to the good schools like Harvard while ones who don't do as well will go to community college. Businesses today also compete each other because even though there were billions starting, there are really just a few of them that survive. This also applies to animals as well. The one that is most adapted, strongest will survive and the weaklings will not. It’s all about the fitness is a biology term that means the organism’s ability to survive and produce offsprings. As for countries, Darwin’s theories apply as well. The country with the most good economical condition, and resources will be the one to survive for example, America for the present. It’s the number one in the GDP while one the lasts are Liberia. The fittest then, may be imperialists and take over other countries that aren’t as fit. They might be completely taken over by the imperialists and no longer have their cultures or traditions. Otherwise, might be used to make profit, resources, and labor like how the Europeans treated the Africans. Clearly, from viewing all aspects in life in Darwin’s theory, it is clear that animals and humans have similarities and both Darwin's theories.

The White Man's Burden Questions February 5, 2012

What is “The White Man’s Burden” based on Rudyard Kipling’s description in this poem? -From Rudyard Kipling’s description, the white man’s burden in the poem is the fact that they think they are better than other people.

Do you agree or disagree with Kipling’s characterization? Why or why not? -I disagree and agree with Kipling’s characterization because what the description said was mainly true back in the day when white people thought of themselves superior than the African Americans. However, now days, not many people think like that and they have much more of an open mind, but there are still people who still think so.

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. -In this poem the attitude of Europeans and Americans toward the rest of the world may be seen as them thinking they are superior and more powerful than the others. An example in the poem would be the line “And check the show of pride”. Also, the poem encourages them to go out and spread out to other countries.

Is KIS an example of “The White Man’s Burden” in modern Korean society? Why or why not? -I personally don’t think KIS is an example because even though we pay a lot of money (for schooling) to go to KIS, I’m sure there are other people/families in Korea who have just as much money, but don’t send their kids to KIS. Also, just because someone went to a good school, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they will succeed.

Document Based Questions p.307 February 1, 2012

1) The authors of source B and C would disagree with each other on the effects of Industrial Revolution because the author of source B is saying that American as a country can prosper by making their own products that are good in quality by the Industrial Revolution and exporting it out so they can make the profit. The author of source C is saying how the poor are penniless. They have opposite ideas.

2) I think the 16 year old girl is excited to work because it's better than working at home and not getting money. Also, she is a teenager and like many other teens, they get excited when they start making their own money and feel more independent. Another reason might be that she gets what she needs like she stated that she has enough food and a good place to work.

3) The picture is a visual and visual usually is one of the key factors into persuading someone. Also, in the image, it's clear what is happening and what is good or bad. Because the image delivers this clear message and there is an angel as an symbol, people will think that the angel will save them.

Karl Marx January 30, 2012

Would Marx have agree that these countries were "communist"? I don't think Marx would say these countries were communist because the communist countries are totally controlled by the government. The marketing, business, media is all controlled and restricted strictly by the government. Karl Marx believed that government should be no interference with the competition, marketing place.

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)? Why do you think this has happened? Many of the communist countries today have been taken down like the USSR. In some countries like USSR, the communists has failed, although once it was powerful. The communist countries are basically made out of a single powerful ruler who is in control of everything in the country and the majority are ordinary working people who are controlled by the ruler. Because there are so many people vs the one ruler, the people revolt in injustice and by sheer force and number, people are able to stop the ruler. The wealthy capitalist countries are still capitalist and is the same. I think that's because because they've always done okay, they are able to maintain their wealth. The poor countries are still poor, but are starting to develop and some are going through their own industrial revolution. The poor countries are poor and have had problems in government or the way the countries handles money and they may stay poor or they may start to develop, modernize, and prosper.

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)?

The gap between the poor and rich became smaller after this emoluments. People fought for better working conditions and a higher pay because the pay they were getting was not enough for themselves and their family. Because the work is done by the people and the factory owners get their money because of the people working, if the factory workers refuse of boycott the work, they will make a big change. The factory owners won't be ale to make money because they have no workers to work for them. The reform laws limited the work time, provided some protection and it was a law that made the first steps to respecting the workers. The rich was getting richer and richer while the poor got poorer and poorer, but the Union movement and reform laws made the gap small.

Photo Essay January 20 2012

From the pictures I saw, I observed lots of children not looking happy, and being fairly dirty. It's a lot different from what children at their young ages now go through comparing to what they went through in the Industrial Revolution. It also seems like the factory owners abused their child employees because it read that they were beating then. Also, to me it seems like they forgot that children were children and taking advantage of them because they were small and quite defenseless. It wasn't fair that children were doing the same work and were being paid less just because they were children. Also, the environment is so harsh like what the captions had described. For example, the children who worked in cotton factories were working in cotton dust which made them have a white lung disease at such young ages under 10. I think it's totally unfair that children are abused to do the work, not paid the same, and are given such harsh environment to work. The photo that I think really shows what kind of harsh, difficult jobs children were told to do was the second image on page 69. Seeing little children stand barefoot on the machines and operating them made me think how tired, sore, miserable they were while they were supposed to go outside and play, grow, and enjoy childhood, not work like an adult which isn't even possible with their mentality and physical features. Overall, I am glad that children got their childhood back and aren't working, being abused.

Homework:The Industrial Revolution (reading question) January 18, 2012

1. 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 fully agree with this statement for a few reasons. First, The Industrial Revolution has made out lives better compared to what life was like before. For example, present day, there are so many manufacturing businesses that people work in that make the clothes we wear, or make the chair we sit on. It has improved our society by providing more food and the machines letting us be more efficient. The sanitary we have in the world today is due to the inventions and happenings of The Industrial Revolution. If it wasn't for The Industrial Revolution, we'd still be living in filthy cities where diseases would kill. However, there is the negative side to The Industrial Revolution. Because the machines do most of the work for us, there are less workers which means more people with jobs, which again means more people who do not have money and food. The peasants were kicked out and struggled to find jobs. Also, present day, The Industrial Revolution has ruined our environment. People abuse the natural resources that earth provides and polluted the earth which causes global warming ; global warming is one of the world's biggest problems that will created major problems. I think that The Industrial Revolution has helped us and do create problems as well.

Congress of Vienna #4,5 Dec.11.2011

4) Why did Napoleon's empire collapse? Napoleon's empire collapsed for three main reasons. The first mistake was that he made his brother the king of Spain in 1808. There, Napoleon had lost many troops. The second reason was because he wanted to control Britain's economy and make it weak which did not work at all in 1806. The third reason is because he had tried to capture Russia in 1812. He had failed miserably and lost many troops there as well, not gaining anything. 5) What were the goals of the Congress of Vienna? The goals of the Congress of Vienna was to come up with a plan that would keep peace in Europe. =

Absolutism 11.11.11

1) What is absolutism? Absolutism was theory which one had supreme power with unlimited power. 2) Explain the justification for absolutism referred to as the 'divine right of kings'. The divine right of kings justifies absolutism because it is said that it's power directly given by god. 3) List the causes of the rise of Absolutism in Europe. The causes for the rise of absolutism in Europe was because of influence of Papal and mercantile polices. 4) Explain briefly how absolutism developed in • Spain • Absolutism began to spread throughout the world. For Spain, absolutism developed because Protestant Reformation was a menace in dividing the kingdom, dynastic marriages, and because Spain needed a strong ruler for the country. Some of the events at that time like those three reasons had contributed to the development of absolutism. The increase of dynastic marriages was the reason for first appearance of absolutism. Due to that, all the families took up space and Spain needed someone to control that. Also, the threats of dividing country had enforced absolutism. Spain was threatened and needed a strong ruler who would take control and unite the nation. Lastly, Spain was in crisis with tax and debt when Philip's successor wasn't successful. Spain was in trouble and also needed a ruler that would cut down the tax and take care of the country's debt. There fore, absolutism began to appear in Spain because of the need of a strong leader to take care of their problems for once. • France • Absolutism developed in France partially because of the upper class rebelling as it created internal conflicts. • England • In England, the Tudor Dynasty ruled with the parliament and continued absolutism. • Russia • Absolutism in Russia had existed dating back since the 15th century and Peter I had firmly established absolutism and • =

I see naked people, actually only one naked person I think this is old because there are cracks and I know this is old since it is done by Michael Angelo I wonder why they're touching by fingers. It seems like they want to touch each other and not at the same time because they're only touching by the fingers. It seems like they could be holding hands, but they're not, and they don't seem desperate.

A block: Analyze these images as you did for your earlier 1421 assignment. Read and sections as instructed, and highlight the key points.

From the first photo of Muslim population around the world, it tells me that Muslim is pretty universal and pretty much every country has Muslims. Also, I can learn a new thing from this map which is that most Muslims live Indonesia. Other than the fact that this map tells me the estimated number of Muslims living in different countries, it also tells me where Muslims find it nice or pleasant to live. From that, I can guess that places with more Muslim population have less prejudice against Muslims. From the second photo, I can learn not only the route that Zheng He took, but a look upon China. The voyage itself is very diverse which means that he had traveled to lots of different places which tells me that China was interested in the rest of the world and was probably looking for trading. I also notice that the voyage route is near the land which meant that they were sailing near land, not in the middle of the ocean.

Comparing Santa Maria and China's fleet, I can see that China's fleet was much more bigger than Santa Maria. Also, it seems like the design of China's fleet is more complicated than Santa Maria especially the wings of the boat, the flaps on the boat on a pole or a stick that guide the ship. Also, since China's fleet is bigger, it carries more people than Santa Maria. China's fleet seems to have more of a decorated ship than Santa Maria when Santa Maria is made out of plain wood and undecorated while China's fleet seems to be painted or decorated. China''s fleet also seems more luxurious.

Then qin takes over China by 210 BC. Han Dynasty takes over in 261 BCE. China splits into 3 kingdoms 2 kingdoms 4 kingdoms. Sui Dynasty takes over the whole China by 581 CE. The Tang Dynasty 700 CE 8 3. China splits up again. By 1294, Yuan has taken over China. Ming Dybasty takes over in 1410. Then by 1892, Qjing Dynasty takes over China. Present day, China is now People's Republic of China. From this animation map, I can tell how China has changed in size by different kings and rulers. Also, it shows the long history of China by dates. i can also tell the names of the dynasties and rulers up to present day.

Present day, the Silk Road goes to China, Mongolia, Iraq, Iran, Uzbekistan, Tibet, Turkmenistan, and India. Silk Road also goes through those places as well. From this map, I can see where the Silk Road had connection to. However, the map isn't modern days so there fore, I can see where the Silk Road had connections to in the past.

From he population map in European urban cities between 1400 and 1600 I can tell which cities or locations that was most populated. The population of the area also suggest that the city was flourishing and it was a major important city. This also shows wealth and the country itself and how it was doing at that time.

12 cm and 4 cm If I compare the great walled capital Zhu Di built to the map of modern China, I can tell that the cities are more complex and there has been a lot of development in the city. Also, the Forbidden City was marveled much and was the capital city and stood out from the outside because of what it had. However, now, the Forbidden City seems small in the city and is marveled in different way because the outside cities also have beautiful things which once didn't exist.

If the Great Wall of China was actually 6400, then it would reach Turkmenistan.

3 Maps of Islamic Empire September 4 From the 3 maps of Islamic Empire, I can tell that from the first map, I can tell that the empire had invaded Spain and France. However, on the second map, the invasion had decreased and had no control of Spain and France anymore. On the third map, Spain was invaded again. I can also tell that different places had been invaded.

I gave very clear instructions that you were to write TWO sentences, and only two about these three maps. 1/3

Family History Project

source 1: wedding photo, primary source

This is a photo of my mum and dad at their wedding. This is a primary source since the picture is from the moment they were getting married and it is considered unwritten since it is a photo. This was an important event since this was the start of their lives together and because if the marriage didn't happen, I wouldn't be born.

source 2: certificate for passing the bar, written, primary source

This is the certificate that indicates that he had passed the bar. This was highly significant in his life because this was another step into his learning career so that he could go on with his studies. Passing the bar was more than moving on, it was something to be proud of for himself. This is a primary source since this is given right when he had passed the bar. This is a written source since it is on paper and it's a certificate.

source 3: documents of studies done in Cornell This source is series of documents based on the studies my grandpa did in Cornell. This is considered secondary source since this was made after my grandpa and other Cornell people had done researches. I think this is significant because to this day, he still tells me about what he did in Cornell and teaches me new things every time he talks about that topic. He had also said himself that going to Cornell and doing all the research was very memorable and became another new learning experience especially since he had done it with other people. This is the final document in research that they did. His name and his fellow researchers are in the heading underneath the title.

Oral interview: mum I chose my mother to interview partly because she knew how to speak English and because she was the only family member who wasn't busy. I thought the wedding day was important because many don't include that in the timeline because it is too obvious to see. However, I thought interviewing my mum about her wedding day would be creative and fun to listen. This is the oral source. Topic: her wedding day Questions asked:

When and where was your wedding?

Were you looking forward to your wedding?

How did you feel walking down the isle?

Who did you invite? Anyone in particular?

How was your wedding overall?
