The White Mans Burden

Burden is a problem. The White Man's Burden is the problem the white men went through. The white men went through many problems on their trip to Asia. I agree with the articles because the Europeans went into Asia and tried to take everything over. They acted as if they already owned the country, they treated the Asians as if they were less important. The Europeans had the state of mind that they were superior to any type of race that was out there. The U.S. is still imperialistic because Bush sent out millions of troops out to Iraq in order to take over. The government lies to us and says that the only reason of the invasion is because of the oil.

The Scramble Of Africa

I think the true meaning of the title Scramble Of Africa means that many other countrys were debating on who should get africas land so thats what i think scramble of africa mean.The main countrys involved in this scramble were Britan,France,German,Portuguese,Italian,Belgian,and spanish,those were all the country who had part in african land.There are alot of reasons why these countrys tryed to take over africa one of the reasons is they thought that if they had the most land they would be most powerfull so everyone tryed to take over africa to have more power the country with most of africa was france with 36 percent of africa.They were able to dominate africa so easily because they werent as advanced as the other countrys even if the african people choose to fight back they would have no chance because they would have to fight against every country that was a part in the scramble of africa. And they didnt even have enough weapons to figth back.It effected the african people because they felt as if they werent in controll of there own country like they werent being treated right in there own country and i think if the african people had enoguhn people to defend what was theres they would have but since the europeans out numbered them by ALOT they didnt have a chaance to defend what what theres

The Meiji Restoration Of Japan

Japan liked to keep their people in their country and also Japan people tought that they were the best and they had the best culture. Also they thought that they were more advanced than any other culture but, when Matthew Perry show Japan new kind of technology in the ships and also the weapons were more powerful. All this new technology show Japan that what they thought was wrong. So they didn't like that because they were getting behind another cultures. Japan started to treat with Japan, a treat called treat which let American ships stay on Japan and also Japan people gave them food, water, and coul. But America had to give Japan some of the their technological ships. Japan also consider that modernization was necessary to their culture and Japan started to send people to America to see what was happening and to see if they can build the same thing and modernized them selves.

Mountains Of The Moon

Some of the hardships the european people faced were they had to look for the lost river that noone could find and they kept getting interupted by african tribes and they kept having to fight or trade to get on with there journey and alot of people died and the africans that helped the europeans kept running away and stole equipment and food and so they were limited men and suplies so thats what there hardshgip was like.I think its not fair that they named the river victoria because its in africa its not fair that they name it after the queen of england. I think that the only reason why they did it is because the african people werent very civilized and the europeans took advantage of that and kinda took over.Europe conquered africa so easily because africa had no weapons and all they had were non advanced weapons so basically they had no chance because the european people had weapons.And thats what this mopvie was like
