The Opium War

China believe that they were a independent country so they didn't want to deal with other countries. Britain had something that Chinese people wouldn't resist that is call "opium," Chinese people used to use it as drugs. Britain wanted to deal with China because they wanted China's tea. After a few time Chinese people started to become addicted to opium. China's government started to get angry because opium was destroying their people and the whole country. In order to stop this they didn't want to deal with, The outcome of the war was predictable. The Chinese people lost miserably. China was no match for the British technology and better weapons.

"The White Man's Burden"

The white man burden was written by Rudyard Kipling in 1899. it was originally written for queen Victoria. It was perfectly normal that white men constantly tried to colonize and rule people of other nations for their own benefit, both the people and the work may be seen as representing the "burden" of the title. I agree with the analysis because white people were traveling around exploring the world and robing resources from other nations. Two nations for example are Africa and India. Once the white people found the cure for malaria and their technology advanced they were unstoppable with their machines guns. Well whenever a country will have the power to control another country it is possible that imperialism to occur again.

The Scramble For Africa

The term "Scrabble for Africa" meant how European countries ( France, Great Britain, Germany, Spain, Germany, Italy, and Portugal) were so obsessed with the new land that everybody wanted Africa for their resources. They were all competing for resources. There resources were gold, wood,rubber, iron, tin, diamond, silver, copper, salt, ivory and other valuables. They were able to dominate Africa because they just invented
the machine gun and they also found the cure for malaria. With the cure of malaria they were able to go to the jungles and not die of the mosquitoes bites.

Most of the new things that the Africans were know affect them because they had to gave to the British people some of them lands and they kill some of the people of Africa and separated some of them tribes, also this provided the families separated each one.

Mountains of the Moon

This was an expedition of some British people that want to knew something about the River Nile, they went to central Africa 2 times, in the first time some of the black people of Africa attacked them because they think they were enemies, so most of the people of British that went there died, the rest of the persons went back to England and prepare a new visit with more people but for that time they thought in new technology for Africa so they will offer something like guns to win or conquests a part of Africa, the lake Victoria changed them name for the British Queen because when the British people went again to Africa they talked a made changes in Africa if the British people gave them new technology like Guns and others thing etc finally they knew about the river Nile and agree in them goals.
