sorry Ms. Boyle, I totally forgot to upload it yesterday during class I am very sorry.

Okay, I understand. I think you could have made better choices about the 5 most significant event in Afghanistan's recent history. The last point also suggests that Pakistan is being abandoned as an ally in favor of India, which I don't think is quite accurate. 8/10 -1.5 Late = 6.5

__Cold War____5/20/12__ 1. United States exploding their first H-bomb, competition to which country builds better weapons. 2. Disagreement in way country runs. Soviet Union was a communist country run by Joseph Stalin while Britain and U.S. were capitalist countries 3. Stalin’s agreement with Hitler in 1939, Britain and U.S. took time to invade German-occupied France 4. Yalta Agreement, showed British and Americans, Stalin did not share ideas on democracy 5. Soviet Union creates pro-Soviet government, not free elections.

Questions A. B. C. One argument is when Eisenhower built many bombs to be able to stand against each Soviet Union’s missiles. Kennedy’s policy on having the same number of missiles as the Soviet Union is another argument as he limited the number. Goals of Establishment United Nations: protect the members from aggression The Marshall Plan: provide food, machinery, and other materials to rebuild Europe after the damage caused by the war Warsaw Pact: Use alliance to get rid of threat from NATO
 * 1) Even though the houses were 5km, the atomic bombs were so powerful to even hit 11 seconds after the explosion. The houses were simply destroyed in a few seconds with all pieces of the wood and bricks flying away.
 * 2) If a whole town was hit by this kind of explosion, I would imagine the town no longer in existence, only to be left with burning rubble with all the houses destroyed along with people burned and trapped beneath the houses.
 * 1) After the destruction the atomic bombs were capable of, I think these people wanted to ban the bomb since it is a new weapon and if war ever happens again, these bombs would be used to cause mass destruction.
 * 2) As the bombs are very powerful and are able to even make a house 5km away vanish, this basically means even cities and people within those cities could be killed. All the population would not desire death and would want to prevent such deadly war if it ever happens.

The most significant historical event to me was the space race. Before the Cold War begun, the Soviet Union and U.S. were in tight rivalry and raised to see who was the one to get the most advanced technology and weapons. U.S. has begun the race with the arms race creating bombs and the Soviet Union was able to send their first satellite. Satellites are still being used today and is something very necessary. The first man on the moon even brougt scientific research to a new level being able to see a clear image of outer spac throuh human eyes and even allow future astronauts to attempt this risky journey to bring science to even a higher level. == 10/10

__Question (Due Class 48)__ == __5/16/12__ "Do you think it was right for the Allies to try only Nazi and Japanese leaders for war crimes? Explain your thinking."

I do not think it was right for the Allies to try only Nazi and Japanese leaders for war crimes. First of all, I do know that there were many different nation leaders who supported the Nazis and Japanese. All the actions they have done now, for example the holocaust was not commenced by one person, but many individuals who followed the leader to make the most horrible event occur. This clearly means they seemed Jews were in no need to live and all agreed to murder many Jews. Although the leaders are the main people who have done some action, they definitely have followers who had the same thoughts and would follow their leader with their own will. Japanese using their power to expand beyond more than enough because of their greed and the leader letting Japanese soldiers die for no reason and also making WWII happen although it could have been stopped are all factors in why not only Japanese leaders, but people in Japan who abused their power for their own good should be punished. I do know many believe only Nazis and Japanese leaders should be punished and others to feel guilt, but we still saw their actions and this could build into another horrible event which could cause many to feel in pain. It is right to punish all the people who were involved for the war crimes.

__The Holocaust__
__5/14/12__ I could not believe what I saw, it said how “twins” were used for experiments and those were very painful. The twins were even six years old, but were still sent to this horrible camp. Experiments painful enough to not even allow women to have children of their own. Even listening to how very weak twins were sent away never to come back stroke my mind as how terrible the Nazis were in experimenting twins and even throwing away ones that were no use of them.
 * Twins**

One of the siblings beaten to find the other sibling was one cruel view. Towards the end of the video, I was shocked to hear how two brothers who met after the war did not have emotions to each other. How the man said that the Nazis tore away the ability to love, to cry, and laugh was no longer present even among the siblings. I could not possibly imagine how much pain this man has went through when he had to withstand the pain to protect his brother.
 * Brothers**

As I watched the video, I was simply horrified by the level of torture by the Nazis. The man in the video said how a crust of bread or soup at the tip of the bowl was fought for. The image of the men with bones showing all over their body was very unpleasant. When I watched the man talk about how his father, a saint, cremated on Sabbath was horrifying.
 * Mordecai Eldar**

The part where the women talked about how little children were burned alive because of the limited amount of space in the crematoria was painful. Even the oldest sister saying how she is unable to work any further and exchanged shoes returning with the sister no longer in the camp must have been very hurting to the woman. I could not possibly imagine losing a sibling especially an older one.
 * Zanne Farbstein**

This man moving around 12 camps and only weighing 33 kilograms when liberated, but with the rest of his family members killed was sad to hear. Even unable to care for his own sibling was very sad. Being able to bear all this pain and play and compose music for people gave me a feeling in how brave this man was to live as a normal person and play for people in the world.
 * Yaakov Hollander**

To hear how this woman’s role was to bury people who were murdered cannot be imagined. I could not possibly see myself burying many people murdered from the camp. I was relieved this woman was able to do the job of her dream as a nurse and take care of the new life born.
 * Sophie Engelsman**

I was sad to hear this woman not having her freedom even after the war ended. When I looked at the woman having a tattoo with her own numbers and losing her own identity could not be imagined. Although she has lost her identity, it was relieving to hear she has found a husband and having children of their own. From all the videos, I could feel how brave these individuals were to tell their secret story. == 10/10

__The Allied Victory in Pacific (Class 45)__ == __5/11/12__


 * Guided Reading **

**Battle of Leyte Gulf** The Allies return to Philippines even though they have been ordered to leave. The Japanese attempted to block Allied advance by destroying American fleets. The consequences were horrible as the Japanese send suicide pilots after their naval army got destroyed. The Japanese did not give up the fight and lost almost 8 times more soldiers than the Americans.

**Battle of Okinawa** The Americans constantly advanced into Japanese territory taking away land and also Okinawa. This battle was one bloody battle where the Japanese did not give up even though the Americans were overpowering them. Japanese lost 100,000 troops, Americans 12,000.

**Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki** The Americans told Japanese to surrender, but refused. U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and then Nagasaki. These two attacks killed over 150,000 people. This attack caused Japan to surrender which brought the war to an end.

**Bernard Montgomery** This person was the one to control the British army in North Africa. He led his army into the Battle of El Alamein and defeated Rommel’s army. Montgomery made very well made decisions such as in the battle, he decided to attack at the front which the Axis soldiers did not expect, too.

**Dwight Eisenhower** Dwight Eisenhower was the American general who led his force when Operation Torch was launched and intercepted with Rommel’s army when they landed on Morocco and Algeria and Montgomery and Eisenhower crushed Rommel’s army together. He also was the commander the invasion force in D-day Invasion.

** The Human Cost of War ** **1. Which of the nations listed in the chart suffered the greatest human costs?** Based on the chart, I could see that the USSR suffered the greatest human cost.

**2. How does U.S. spending on the war compare with the spending of German and Britain?** U.S. spend more money on the war compared to Germany and Britain. This is true as U.S. produced atomic bombs and invaded/defended different countries from U.S. falling.

** Military Casualties **

**1. What factors may have contributed to the increased number of deaths in World War II over World War I?** One factor could be the reason of not retreating and standing against the opponent. Another could be bombing which U.S. was the most destructive. Another factor could have been advanced weapons. After World War I, most of the countries who were unable to defeat other countries could have noticed that their weapons had to be better.

** Document Based Questions **

**Under what conditions did the Polish refugees flee from the Germans?** People could not bring lots of their belongings and also many families were separated. When they escaped the only thing they could do was survive and listen to the news to hear about the good news and hoping bad news will not be heard.

**Judging from the photograph, what was the government’s attitude toward Japanese Americans?** The soldiers are holding weapons and the Japanese Americans are boarding the train. From the image it could be seen that the government made sure none of the Japanese Americans escaped and made sure they all boarded the train to be send to the internment camp. The soldiers holding weapons give a sign they will not hesitate to fire if they need to.

__War on the Home Front____5/7/12__ Paragraph: Opinion on the fairness or unfairness of Japanese internment The U.S. still suspected Japanese as spies and kept the Japanese in Manzanar, a Japanese-American internment camp. Also, if the Japanese tried to run away from the camp, they would be killed by American soldiers. I believe the Japanese interment was very unfair as they imprisoned them in the camp. Japan was a dangerous country to other countries as Japan expanded rapidly and became very powerful, but one thing to know is that almost all of the Japanese taken to the internment camp had nothing to do with the bomb on Pearl Harbor. I also believe this is unfair since the food they provide the Japanese were not normal as they were provided can foods and the place they slept on was not very comfortable.

1. Wartime propaganda [|cartoon by Walt Disney]. As you watch, record your answers to the following...

**What wartime images do you recognize from your study of the war?**
In the video I recognized the Nazi signs everywhere, on clothes and even on the shells. In the video, Hitler as a cartoon image appeared and everytime Donald Duck saw him, he said "hail Hitler." The Mein Kampf also appeared at the beginning of the video.

**What are some of the messages of this cartoon?**
The clip clearly told the awful things Hitler did as to producing many shells and also having Donald Duck prepare all those shells to be used for battle. Donald Duck seemed very tired and very annoyed in doing the job. The video showed how workers had to work quickly and sometimes had to do overtime to produce more weapons. The end of the video showed how Donald Duck was relieved he was an American citizen where he can decide what to do and does not to be under a dictator.

**Why do you think companies like Disney and Warner Brothers produced these cartoons during the war?**
I think the companies like Disney and Warner Brothers produced cartoons like these to easily inform the people around the world. As it is not interesting to watch people give long speeches or read long texts on what Hitler has done, by watching Walt Disney's video, many people who originally watch his films could watch the video and easily understand how Hitler was very awful and show how the people may have felt working under him.

2. Political Cartoon for the home front

=
** What is in the cartoon? Explain the symbolism you see. **======

The cartoon shows U.S. unwrapping boxes and finding missiles in the boxes.

 * What is the intended message of the cartoon?**

=
I believe the message is telling us how the Americans are telling the Japanese in how they are not treating them like Hitler, but treating them more nicely. Meanwhile, U.S. are packaging missiles into boxes to plan on striking Japan and in reality, the things they say on the Japanese internment camp really promoting their country to seem very good. ======

__Japan Seeks to Build an Empire____5/712__ Notes:

**Political Cartoons Description**

In the cartoon there were the League of Nations and the United States. Towards the back there is a scene where Japan and China is battling against each other. The League of Nations is facing the United States and pointing towards Japan and China telling U.S., they are in need of their help to stop the conflict between Japan and China. In the second cartoon, the Anglo-Saxon seems very comfortable while the people supporting the carriage have a monstrous face compared to the Anglo-Saxons. Although Japanese are not present in the image, we can tell, the Japan agrees with the Anglo-Saxons imperialism in not caring about the suffer of the people. The third cartoon shows Japan holding a burning paper about the Nine Power Treaty done by the League of Nations. The action Japan is doing is against the League of Nations and states how even with/without the League of Nations, Japan��s actions cannot be changed. The fourth cartoon shows Japan and New Guinea. The soldier in the kangaroo��s pocket shows how they need the help from Australia to stand against Japan as New Guinea itself will not be able to go against Japan on its own.

**1) Why did Japan attack the United States of America? Provide evidence from the source below in your answer.** After Japan conquered Manchuria, the U.S. stated Manchuria as an independent state and commenced the neutrality act stating they will no longer send materials to any country. As Japan was constantly gaining power, the U.S. took sides with China and they fought against Japan. The U.S. also cut 80% of Japan��s supply for weapons. U.S.��s actions would have definitely made Japan very angry to attack even the country which used to send supplies for weapons.  2. Read this [|article] about Pearl Harbor. Briefly summarise the key events of the attack (before, during and after). (User ID is kis, PW is welcome)

Before: The Japanese began with two strategies where one was to enter negotiations on how Japan wants expansion in land and also planning on attacking the United States if their expansion happened to fail. The Japanese outlined their attack on Pearl Harbor which can disable U.S. ships while Japan invades Southeasy Asia and throughout the Pacific islands.

During: Japan commenced their attack on Pearl Harbor with dive bombers, torpedo bombers, and escorting fighters. U.S. created radar, but was very new and unskilled people were using it being unable to decide the size of the Japanese force. They were mistaken with Japanese forces with bombers from U.S. mainland being unable to attack without warning. U.S. was very unprepared and had great disadvantange against Japan resulting with a great number of casualties.

After: Pearl Harbor was the worst naval disaster in U.S. history. There were over 2,000 casualties along with many aircrafts and ships destroyed. The attack on Pearl Harbor caused U.S. congress to declare war on Japan, but Japan's allies Germany and Italy also declared war on U.S.

==10/10

__Batte of Britain__ == __5/1/12__

**1) What was Operation Sea Lion?** The Operation Sea Lion was Germany��s plan where they planned on invading Britain towards the beginning of WWII. Due to Germany��s defeat against Britain, the Operation Sea lion was delayed, but never happened later.

**2) Why did the battle not look good for Britain?** Germany defeated France causing Britain to fight alone against Germany. Also, Britain��s Royal Army Force was way outnumbered by German soldiers.

**3) What advantage did Britain have?** Advantages Britain had was they had their primary weapon Winston Churchill who promoted men to battle against Germany. Britain also had radars to tell where German aircrafts were coming from. They also had Enigma which was used to interpret German plans by decoding their messages.

**4) What was Germany's mistake?** One mistake that Germany made was that the Germans decided to bomb Britain instead of facing at the front. Hitler attempted this to win the battle, but instead Britain resisted resulting to Hitler to retreat and have attention elsewhere.

**5) What was the impact of the bombing of London? How did the bombing of London aid Britain's cause?** The bombing of London let to mass death to soldiers, civilians and destroyed many houses. The bombing was meant to have Hitler seem undefeatable and Britain comes to Germany, but that never occurred. The British resisted and there were many casualties, but due to their resistance, they caused Hitler to retreat and the British won the battle.

**6) Why was the outcome of the battle of Britain significant for the Allies?** With the unsuccessful plan of Hitler invading Britain, this caused his prior plan, the Operation Sea Lion to fail and caused Germany to take their attention to the Soviet Union.

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. Post your work on your gallery page.

Britain lacked military power with their Royal Army Force, but managed to stand against Germany and eventually lead to victory. The British were able to hold off the German invasion mainly because of Winston Churchill. Without the speech made by Winston Churchill, it would have been impossible for the British to resist against Germany although many men died from just resisting. Also the British managed to invent technological devices which were very useful in the battle. Germany��s bad decisions was also a key factor in promoting Britain into victory. Germany's failure in their plan, the Operation Sea Lion, was one factor of Britain's victory. Germany did not plan on destroying Britain, but just invading it, but that also failed causing Hitler to just turn his attention to Russia.

__Hitler's Lightning War Answers__ == 4/30/12 Paragraph: When I look at the actions Hitler made along with Napoleon's invasion of Russia. One similarity I saw was both dictators did quick wars even causing them to decide not to retreat when winter arrived killing a huge number of soldiers. Without getting to their goal, instead they only lost a significant number of soldiers from freezing to death. Another similarity was the decision made to destroy the opponent. At the past, Napoleon destroyed enemy crops to make them starve and Hitler did something very similar where the enemy eventually starved to death. Chart:

__Station 1__
Before the Treaty of Versailles China already had many problems. One huge problem was that China was under foreign control and were not modernizeed. During World War I, the Chinese wanted to win the support of the Allies, they declared war on Germany. The victory of the war did not give Chinese freedom from foreign control, but the Treaty of Versailles merely changed masters. Japan was given parts of China normally under German control. The Chinese rebels began to look to Marxism and the Russian Revolution for hope to restore problems in China. When Jiang Jieshi became leader of Kuomintang, they began to fear Communist ideas about the control by the government on economy.

Among the many different Asian countries, Japan was the first Asian country to become fully industrialized and the strongest nation in Asia causing Japan to have enough power to equal with other foreign countries and expanded its influence with the origin from Europe. Japan���s rapid expansion was caused by many wars. This included defeating China over Korea in 1894-5 and Russia over Manchuria in 1904-5. The expansion created a strong Japanese empire becoming a great threat to U.S., Soviet Union, and other European countries.


 * (Japan���s power: show a graph of the difference in power among the many Asian countries)
 * (Japan���s expansion: show a map of Japan expansion in 1894-5 and 1904-5 after getting Korea and Manchuria)

The Japanese are proven to be harsh rulers as they invaded Korea in 1910 winning control over Korea. The invasion caused Korean culture to be shut down along with factories built to be used by only Japanese. Around 4,000,000 Koreans and Chinese were removed from their homes to be shipped to the factories to work to be productive in Japan���s war efforts.


 * (Korea���s removal: image of Korea being shipped to factories)

During the 1920s and 1930s, the Western power began to denounce Japan for the rapid expansion. For clarification, Japan issued a justification of expansionism. Japan stated the pressure of surplus population to defend its policies. They stated how Japan is a very small country for a great crowd of people, so it is very necessary for them to expand territory. They state their first plan which was emigration, but failed due to the anti-Japanese immigration. Their second was to advance into world markets, but was not the best way because of the tariffs and the nullification of commercial treaties, so they conducted a third way which was territorial expansion. The Japanese state the Western governments have annihilated the circulation of Japanese products abroad, where the Japanese seek places where the Japanese capital, skills, and labor would be free from the white race���s control.


 * (World conference: include an image with the meeting between Japan and the Western powers for Japan to justify the reasons of expansion)

With the constant criticism on Japan for their expansion policies, the criticism rose with the Japan���s attack on Manchuria where the whole world joined in criticism of Japan. With the continuous criticism, the question by Japan on which country was the one to send warships and troops to India, South Africa, and Austria and slaughter innocent natives stroked the white race. With the arguable answer, Japan easily won the argument with how it is God���s will to send Japan to the remaining earth land with natural resources, yet to be developed by the white race.

__Station 3__
I believe Mao was a worse national leader than Stalin. Both Stalin and Mao were brutal leaders not caring of the deaths occurring to modernize their country. Stalin was indeed a very brutal dictator killing innocent lives and Mao was in any way better than Stalin. First of all, in China, the brutal actions conducted by Mao is unknown by many modern and previous people. What Stalin did with peasants in Russia was very similar to what Mao performed. For the sake of industrialization, food was in shortage, so Stalin took the food from the farms for the people in factories causing great starvation in Russia. Mao has killed many millions of peoples with starvation, too. Mao forcefully took food from farms to give to Europeans for the sake of building an atomic bomb and spoke this action is taken for the people to learn to eat less. While these people suffered from starvation, Mao would hang out with women and eat food of his very own choice without considering the starvation occurring throughout China. Something that makes Mao worse was that his secret was well hidden, so that the majority of Chinese would state Mao as a heroic figure to save China. Even modern Chinese people would still consider Mao as a hero constantly visiting the house of Mao to favor his positive actions which in reality is very brutal.

** __Station 1) Overview of Russian Revolution Answer__ **
**Read the "Chapter in Brief" section on the Russian Revolution and then explain, on your gallery page, why Russia had a revolution in 1917.** Before the revolution occurred, the overthrow of Alexander III seemed like the correct decision, but did not make conditions any better. Once Nicholas II became czar, he was capable of promoting Russia to becoming the best steel producer in the world, but the side effect was working conditions were not so good, wages were very low, and child labor still happened. In 1903, revolutionary groups were split into two, where one group were the Bolsheviks. At 1904, Russia was defeated badly by Japan and by 1905, Russia killed hunger workers who gathered in peace to ask for relief. When World War I occurred, Russia was not fully industrialized becoming incapable of standing against the Central Powers and lost 4 million soldiers in a short period of time. The war caused Nicholas II to cause internal conflicts and soldiers and around 200,000 workers joined together and protested. Soon after, the czar gave up his throne and a year later was killed along with his family. The constant starvation of workers, low wages, and very bad working conditions stacked to cause revolution in Russia.

The industry began to advance. In the image, the two workes are a clear explanaion of they did particularly and at the bottom of the two individuals, there is an image of factories where oil and metal is being produced. It could be that Klutis wants Russians to notice how industry is evolving with the exploratin of oil and metal and with these new products, the Russians are industrializing more quickly.

Ido find this propaganda poster to be compelling. Like most propaganda posters, there would be a large quantity of red included in the poster, but this poster barely includes any color of red. The factories at the bottom along with the workers at the top shows an image of what workers did in those factories. The exploration of oil and metal is indeed necessary for tecnology to have great improvement.

The Treaty of Versailles was a big meeting between the nations of the Allied Powers to discuss what the nations wanted. France wanted to punish Germany for the great harm Germany caused during the war, but in the other hand, countries such as Japan and Italy only sought for land and that was all they wished for in the Treaty of Versailles. The personality the nations reflected was primarily greed. Countries such as France listed a very long list of tasks they wish to accomplish which only affects Germany the most. The representative of U.S, Woodrow Wilson, created the League of Nations which its primary goal was to bring peace to the nations, but failed with disagreement. The nations in the Central Powers were totally defeated and restrictions on army and had to give land to France due to the great harm Germany caused and France desperate to give back the same pain.

__The Rise of Nationalism__
2/14/12

__Ideals of Nationalism__ //Positive and Negative Impacts of Nationalism// I think nationalism has had a more positive impact on the world. Nationalism is where the people are loyal to the nation instead of to a particular king/queen. This shows that nationalism caused people with many differences to become one for the common good. Also there was a democratic government in the nations and the scientific and technological advances began due to the competition among nations. Nationalism caused all these positive impacts and developed the world a great amount.
 * Positive Results || Negative Results ||
 * * The people in nations would constantly win their differences to compete against other nations for the common goods
 * The colonial rule is overthrown
 * Throughout the world, there are now democratic governments in each nation
 * The different nations competed each other for technological and scientific advance in their nations || * Minority cultures were absorbed into nation's majority culture forcefully
 * Competition between nations which eventually led to warfare
 * Extreme nationalistic movements rose
 * Ethnic cleansing ||
 * Do you think nationalism has had a more positive or negative impact on the world? Support your opinion with evidence.**

__**Types of Nationalist Movements**__ The first movement, Unification, is where groups which are politically very different, but culturally very similar combine together. Separation is where culturally different groups resisted from being included into a state. State-building is where culturally different groups decide to form a new state and unite into one culture. Based on the chart, I believe the empires went through the Nationalistic movements and there was changes in the empire and the empires broke into separate nation-states due to the rise of nationalism. Going through the movements must have caused many conflicts in the empire weakening it greatly.
 * 1. Using the table above, explain the characteristics of each type of Nationalistic movement in your own words.**
 * 2. What do you think would have happened to the empires (e.g. Austrian Empire, Ottoman Empire) during the rise of nationalism?**

__**Key Skill: Analyzing Political Cartoons**__ Look at the cartoon on page 261 and complete the questions. The boot is the symbol of Italy and is put on the king of Sardinia, Victor Emmanuel II's foot.
 * 1. What symbol does the cartoonist use for the soon-to-be nation of Italy?**

Garibaldi is portrayed as a very old man with very low class clothing and is kneeling to help the king put his boot on. Garibaldi served the king in reality.
 * 2. How is Garibaldi portrayed?**

The title "Right Leg in the Boot at Last" shows how Italy was soon to be unified and has finally done so. The title shows how the unification of Italy was a great accomplishment and is clearly visible by the phrase "at last".
 * 3. What does the title of the cartoon say about the cartoonist's view of Italian unification?**

__**CASE STUDY: Germany**__ On your own, read about the unification of Germany (online textbook pgs 261-263). 1) Create a flow chart that shows the key events that led the unification of Germany. 2) Looking at the map on page 263, answer the two geography skillbuilder questions. Prussia owned Westphalia, East and West Prussia. Westphalia is far apart from East and West Prussia and in between the area are different lands in the space. The biggest expansion of Prussia territory was at 1871 when the South German states joined Prussia to form the German Empire.
 * 1. What was unusual about the territory of Prussia as it existed in 1865?**
 * 2. After 1865, what year was the biggest expansion of Prussia territory?**

3) Design a national symbol for the newly formed Germany. Include symbols that best represent the spirit or values of the German people at this time. Write a short paragraph explaining your symbol and its significance.

My symbol shows the symbol of Germany, the eagle with swords across the eagle along with an agreement hand in the middle. The swords shows the conflicts Germany has faced during the past and the hands together shown in the center shows the unity Germany achieved through the multiple conflicts. Also the hand portrays how well Germany is put together.

You are being asked to MAKE a symbol for the "new" Germany, so you can't use "the symbol of Germany, the eagle". 19.5/20

__Case Study India and Britain__
2/13/12

1. Sepoys: The meaning for this word is native soldiers. The sepoys were brave enough to rebel after the Britains locked few in prison, by killing British women and children, but were tortured and hanged.

The British government tool control of India through the East India Company causing cultural, religious, and political divisions among the British and Indians to gradually grow bigger.

3. Congress Party: The Congress Party was the political group formed after the meething of the Indian National Congress. The group worried about equal rights among every single Indian, but at 1900, they became more nationalistic. The Congress Party (Hindu) also worked together with the Muslim League (Muslim) to develop self government and independence.

4. Monhandas K. Gandhi: He is a Hindi who brought nationalistic ideas to the people of India after he workd in England. Gandhi used non-violent non cooperation for farmers to have reduced taxes and have factory laborers to have higher wages and better working conditions. He also played a great role in obtaining Indian independence

5. Muhammad Ali Jinnah: He is a Muslim who also worked in England, but mostly disagreed with Gandhi's tactics he provided. He was able to change the Muslim LEague into a board-based political party and was sometimes called :the best ambassador of Hindu-Muslim unity." Jinnah constantly tried to unify Hindu and Muslim's burden, but failed. As a result, he left the Indian politics to move to England.

1. What were four factors that contributed to Britain's conquest of India?
 * Main Ideas **

Once factor was that the separate kingdoms in India constantly fought causing internal conflict. Another factor was that Britain had a more powerful military force compared to India and since their tactics were better, it was a very easy task for Britain to win against India. The third factor is while India was very disorganized, the British were very well organized and they came together on one goal without having separate ones. The last factor is that the British brought political stablity, a well made government, and a law system for the Indians.

2. What was the cause of the Sepoy Mutiny and what was its main result?

The cause of the Sepoy Mutiny was because of the British soldiers harshly punishing the sepoys for refusing to load their weapons and the actions made by the British putting cow and pig grease on the rifle was a sign that the British were not following the Indian's religious laws and customs. The result of the Sepoy Mutiny did not end in a good way as the British took direct rule of India from the East India Company.

3. Which groups and ideas promoted the Indian independence?

The Congress Party united with the Muslim League played a big role in promoting self-government and independence for the Indians. Gandhi's multiple attempts of making new tactics which were mostly disagreed by Muhammad Ali Jinnah did play a major role in securing achieving Indian's independence.

4. What were the four general principles of Gandhi's philosophy?

Gandhi's first principle was to live as simply as one could, never aiming for a reward. His second was to be tolerant of other's religious beliefs. His third was to devote one's life to the service of others and the last principle was to battle injustice in all ways, but never to turn yourself into using violence.

5. What role did Jinnah play in the partition of India?

Muhammad Ali Jinnah was the one who has demanded the separation of the country for Muslims. Jinnah joined the Congress Party and the Muslim League, he tried to unify Hindu and Muslim concerns, but failing when he wanted the Congress Party to agree to greater rights for minorities.

6. Which of the documents are pro-British in nature? Which ones are pro-Indian?
 * Documents**

The documents which were pro-British in nature were documents B, C, E, I and the documents which were pro-Indian were A, D, F, G, H, J, K, L.

7. How would Indians in the lowest levels of their society benefit from India's Constitution as stated in Document H?

The Indians in the lowest levels had equal rights to every citizen and each citizen was not to be discriminated by sex, religion, race, caste, place or birth, and also the word "Untouchability" was abolished. The rights of freedom they may receive is they could form unions and trade. The lowest level basically no longer existed and the citizens of India had equal rights.

8. How would British colonization have a lasting impact on the people of India?

A huge impact would be Britain gave the technology and looking at document J, India is very modern. From document K, the conflict by the British caused a separation which made the people from the same country to become enemies and would not easily let an individual from a different nation to pass the border. At the past, 80-90 percent of the people had no proper clothing, but now most were dressed and gets a meal without a lot of people starving.

9. What were the causes of the cultural conflict between the British and the Indians?
 * Critical Thinking**

The biggest cause of cultural conflict between the British and the Indians were that The British claimed the Indians were the "inferior race," so they would avoid mixing with the Indian society as the Indians' confience would be weakened. This concluded, the British did not take in the Indian society as a part of Britain and claimed they do not have equal rights.

10. Identify both positve and negative effects of British Rule in India.

The British educated the Indians to help them sucessfully govern the country and this was done by the Indians exposed to Western ideas. The Indians were also able to learn more democracy and nationalism. The technology originated from Britain was also taught to the Indians. Few negative effects were even though the Indians expected they would have equal rights, the British treat the Indians as they were equal people. Although the Indians worked the same jobs as Britains, their wages were lower and most of their wealth was given back to Britain.

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

Since Great Britain had a more powerful and advanced military force, it was impossible for the Indians to to protest on Britain using violence. Gandhi's non-violent non cooperation was very successful made it impossible for the government to function, so they were forced to change their ways.

12. For what reasons did Muslims demand a separate nation?

The reasons for Muslims demanding for a separate nation was because of the clash between the two groups, the Congress Party and the Muslim League. The failure of Jinnah asking for greater rights for minorities also caused the Muslims to be enraged to demand the separation.

13. Why did the colony of India break up into four separate nations?

At first, India and Pakistan were two separate nations, but after Jinnah, the leader of Pakistan died, many military coups came into East Pakistan and proclaimed its independence as Bangladesh. Ceylon, the island at the souther tip of India also won its independence in 1948 and changed its name to Sri Lanka in 1972.

__Economic Imperialism__
Feudalism is a political and economic system based on holding land in fee. Wealth would have been generated based on the agriculture. Mercantilism is the economic theory where trade generates wealth. Capitalism is a productive system that is normalized, and there was an expansion in economic growth which led to giving us the resources. The markets are controlled by the private owners which makes it very different to Feudalism. Capitalism brings competition between markets as they are owned privately, so the distribution of goods and production increases in quantity where Mercantilism is very similar but differs because the trade is balanced.
 * 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?**

Captalism was driven by colonialism and imperialism. The capitalist countries were innovative, creative, and productive caused growth in wealth and economy. Violence caused capitalism to move forward and conquering the world and extracting the resources for the mother country.

The discussion was based on the division of African continents to colonial holdings. After the conference, the countries came up with three agreements. The first agreement was any sovereign power that wanted territory would need to inform the other powers "in order to . . . make good any claim of their own." The second one was any invasion made should be validated. The third agreement made was treaties made with the African people were considered as sovereignty.

1. This image is anti imperialism because the British man is reaching from Europe all the way to Africa where the gold fields are present. The British man is drawn dehumanized with its enormous hands covering most of Africa.
 * Image 1**

2. Just by looking at the image, the Africans are at mercy of the Europeans. The Africans also have the resources, the gold fields which the Europeans are wanting.

3. The British are exploring Africa for their own economical benefits.

4, Imperialism can make a country very wealthy

1. This image is pro imperialism. This is because in the image, the white man is leading many Africans behind him. This man is drawn to be more ideal and humanized compared to image #1. In the image, the people in the back are not quite visible, but the white man in the front is very bright which brings some message of "hope."
 * Image 2**

2. The Africans are less civilized, so they have to be led by the white people.

3. This image is a clear illustration of "The White Man's Burden" were it is the duty for the white men to expand their territories and somewhat guide the weak.

4. This image shows Europeans are spreading a better civilization around the world.

1. The image is anti imperialism. This is because in the image, Leopold, the king of Belgium is dehumanized as he is drawn as a snake which is not human and is strangling the weak Africans.
 * Image 3**

2. The Africans are very weak towards the powerful European nations, but they are very humanized as they have a family, children, and feelings.

 * Image 4**

2. Foreigners have weaker military than Europeans, so they are easily defeated.

3. The British are proud of themselves and their military is the priority and their actions made can be morally justified.

4. Imperialism gave the resources and technology to the countries from Europeans.

1. This image is pro imperialism because it shows Uncle Sam punishing the children at the front row where the children indicate the countries which America won after their victory in the Spanish-American War, but most of the United States disliked these countries. Uncle Sam is drawn very idealized while the children at the front war are dehumanized and look very monstrous.
 * Image 5**

2. The Americans are teaching western culture through education.

3. The Americans stated the won countries were very uncivilized and had very few priveleges which is clearly indicated where the children in the front to not have books in front of them while the others at the back do.

4. Most of the foreign countries were considered uncivilized to the Americans.

1. This image is anti imperialism because the gigantic bird which symbolizes Germany needs to conquer the Africans first and also looking at the image, the uncivilized people would surrender to any European who conquers them first.

4. The message Imperialism can cause deaths with no reasons for one's own benefit.

Your analysis of political cartoons is very weak, and this is something you will want to work on. Examine each image CAREFULLY and consider why each thing has been included -- what does each figure represent? Look at actions, facial expressions, placement of figures, and lighting for meaning, as well as captions and labels. 24/30

__Excerpts "On the Origin of Species"__
2/3/12

Darwin's theories apply to culture and society. This is because his theories apply among the species not on a particular individual. His first theory, the "struggle for existence" states how the nature is not well notified as many species die because of getting eaten by predators. Few species in the world have similar genes which leads to much more conflict. They consume the same kind of food and live in same shelters, this causes them to fight over who would possess the greatly quantity. Just like us, we fight over who possesses the greater territory without noticing what kind of problems the other countries are facing. The more powerful and wealthy would always win and result in conquering that country. Darwin's second theory states "natural selection." In this theory, he states only the fittest survive in the population. The species with the best condition and lots of variation in genes would survive. Comparing to our world, the most wealthy from the countries would be the one to be standing for a long duration as the countries which are uncivilized would become civilized through the new technology introduced by the original country. As more people immigrate into the country, the greater the number of population becomes, needing the country to conquer other places for resources and land for them to survive for a longer period.
 * 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.**

__"The White Man's Burden"__
2/2/12

"The White Man's Burden" is the white men's responsibility in conquering other places such as Africa for their own benefit. The white men planned in conquering places they assumed were not civilized convincing the people there, that they are trying to improve their lives when in reality they only seek to improve themselves.
 * What is ���The White Man���s Burden����� based on Rudyard Kipling���s description in this poem?**

I disagree with Kipling's characterization. In the world, many powerful and wealthy places seek to expand their territories mostly conquering countries which were not yet civilized, however this action should not be taken as the wealthy countries do this to satisfy themselves when they bring discomfort to the ones who were in those uncivilized countries. More territory just increases the original country's wealth while not changing anything in the uncivilized countries.
 * Do you agree or disagree with Kipling���s characterization? Why or why not?**

Like the poem, Europeans and Americans performed something very similar to "The White Man's Burden." Europe and America sought to change uncivilized countries into civilized countries by introducing technology the countries do not possess. The poem states how uncivilized countries are changed through the technology which would change their lifestyle.
 * 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.**

KIS is certainly an example of "The White Man's Burden" in modern Korean society. KIS exists in Korea, but the education is very different from Korean schools around the world. People say Korean schools do teach very well and many students are able to attend colleges. Also the payment for attending KIS is way beyond the payment for Korean schools. The Americans coming into Korea may have impacted many people, but with the comfortable education with students able to go to college out in the world may cause KIS not to be exactly like "The White Man's Burden."
 * Is KIS an example of ���The White Man���s Burden����� in modern Korean society? Why or why not?**

Your answer to the fourth question doesn't really work because while your are comparing KIS with Korean schools, you are not telling me about the "white man's burden" and how it might be manifested in KIS. 8.5/10

__Document-Based Questions__
1/31/12

Andrew Carnegie would disagree since he was a multimillionare industrialist who has positive attitudes on growth of American industry. He says America would have the best home market which would become better than the foreign producers. The industrialization gave Carnegie the most of the positive effects. Friedrich Engels was a factory manager where his wages were low and did not make much money and basically sufferred from the negative effects of industrialization.
 * 1. Why would Andrew Carnegie (Source B) and Friedrich Engels (Source C) disagree about the effects of industrialization?**

Mary Paul was only 16 years old, but she was a very skilled worker. Skilled in working meant higher wages and the conditions in her working place was stated as the best place for her. Since the factory owned a very skill worker, the factory owner would have had made the conditions of working the best, so Mary Paul does not strike like others. In the cartoon by Walter Crane, a vampire bat of Capitalism attacking a laborer, while the angel of Socialism appears to help solve harsh problems. The whole idea of the cartoon does show the people how socialism would bring positive effects to laborers while capitalism would do the opposite making laborers believe more into socialism rather than capitalism.
 * 2. What might be reasons for 16-year-old Mary Paul's (Source A) satisfaction with her job and life in Lowell?**
 * 3. Why might the political cartoon by Walter Crane (Source D) be useful in getting workers to rally to the cause of socialism?**

Where are your Cornell Notes for pp 304-306, 308? 0/10 You have not attempted to reconcile what you know about poor working conditions in the textile mills with Mary Paul's "rosy" view.

No, Marx would not agree these countries were ���communist.����� This is because revolutions would begin in industrial countries after people made the theory of political and economical theory to themselves. In the image, the countries were not industrial countries and instead they had strong dictatorship.
 * Would Marx have agreed that these countries were "communist"? **

The communism that really occurred was different from what Marx's theory of communism. In Marx's theory, he said culture, religion, and politics would not give an impact on the communist world, but some places were influenced by culture. This eventually led to different communisms in each country, but unfortunately communism requires industrialization and some countries did not which led to failure. Communism is supposed to be world wide, but capitalism was strong during the period which caused Marx's original plan to be a fail. I pretty much agree with this idea as the gap between rich and poor would never be materialized. The Union was related and brought some change such as increasing the wage and shorter hours for the individual, but the Union still decided to use skilled labor membership.The public education and new types of jobs created by the new technological inventions greatly helped the classes.
 * 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? **
 * 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)? **

__A Childhood at Work__
1/24/12

The images I have viewed in the pdf were rather very depressing to watch as I compare myself to the teenagers and children during the Industrial Revolution. While viewing the images I was shocked to see many children either sewing or working in factories and did not see a single child receiving education from school. On pg. 67, looking at the very young child selling matches barefeeted in the streets. Even in the cotton mill, children get diseases such as the white lung disease because of all the breathing of cotton dust on the floor. Children working like grown up men is not acceptable. Furthermore, the text also says children were hired due to their their small body and fingers which make them useful for sewing or narrow mineshafts should not happen. Children should receive good education in school or stay in home and get education from their parents instead of working all day just like grown up men.

__Industrial Revolution Answer__
1/18/12 The Industrial Revolution and urbanization is indeed described as a "mixed blessing." Although "mixed blessing" means advantages and disadvantages, there seems to be more disadvantages from the Industrial Revolution along with urbanization. The Industrial Revolution first began in England in the mid-1700s where there was a great increase in the output of machine-made goods. Urbanization was the period of time where there was the growth of cities and population due to the migration of many people. As the population grew, many farmers converted to factory workers, but the amount of work was exactly the same. Not only did men have to work for more than 14 hours, but also children and women worked and were stated as the cheapest source of labor. Furthermore, the machines used in the factory are also quite dangerous and the government is unable to provide aid for the injury. Although there were these negative effects, the Industrial Revolution brought advantages such as creating a huge amount of wealth in the nations. Also, during the 1800s, laborers won higher wages along with shorter hours. There may have been positive results such as higher wages and a more short time period, but in conclusion I truly believe the overall revolution possessed a more negative outcome.
 * 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?**

__Congress of Vienna Questions__
12/13/11

The reason why Napoleon's empire collapsed was he ended up making very terrible mistakes which made the progress go towards the opposite direction. When Napoleon came into power over France as an emperor, he has managed to restore the economy and begin to expand the territories France possessed, but Napoleon misjudged the other European nations around France. His goal was to demolish Great Britain to take away the land for France. To achieve this, he set up a blockade which blocked the trade between Britain and France which came to a failure because Britain managed to get past the navy and sent in British goods while British possessed a very strong navy. The second mistake was Napoleon made his brother Joseph as king of Spain. This caused Spanish people to dislike Joseph and the Spanish peasants attacked Napoleon and were defeated. Napoleon's worst mistake made ever made the French empire weaken by a lot. Napoleon decided to invade Russia, but faced very cold winter and decided to retreat back to France. The Russians took this opportunity to attack the French army and were greatly defeated. This loss has weakened the French Empire greatly.
 * Why did Napoleon's empire collapse?**

The goals of the Congress of Vienna was to create peace in between the European nations. Also, the Congress of Vienna balanced the power for each European nation, so that one country would not dominate over the others. Another goal was to bring back the kings who were once removed into power of their country. Borders were also created around France by uniting nations and creating a wall around France, so that if they come into sudden power when Napoleon ruled, there are countries around France to attack the country.
 * What were the goals of the Congress of Vienna?**

This is the interview I have had with my grandfather talking about what exactly the Minister of Finance does.

__Written Recount of the Event__
From my family history, my grandfather was the one who had the most events over the past 80 years. My grandfather became the Minister of Finance at the year 1974 and served for the government for four years. My grandfather was not just only a normal minister, but named by the president Park Chung Hee and he served in that capacity for over 4 years. Before my grandfather became the minister of finance, he started his career as a subdivision chief. The hard work he have done during his young age has resulted to becoming the minister of finance at the year 1974. Through the interview that I had with my grandfather, I was amazed listening to the detailed information of him being the minister of finance at the past.
