Film Lesson "Schindler's List"

2008-03-20T05:28:00.000-07:00

Schindler's List told a different story to the about the Holocaust it didn't show many scence how the Nazi's murdered the Jewish people. This movie really told me a different story because some of the movie I don't get at all. The movie was to me more understandable but not as powerful. The Krakow Ghetto was just begining of the horrible thing ahead for the Jews many people thought it was all going to over but everywhere the Nazi's took the Jews it just got worse. No some of the images were just had no representation of the movie it just had a few scene's people will remeber

Film Lesson "Night and Fog"

2008-03-20T05:07:00.000-07:00

The first movie called Night and Fog was really realistic, I didn't
find the movie as powerful most people did because I know what to
expect from a holocaust. This movie compared to the movie Schindler's
List it was more devastating. In the Hollywood version of the Holocaust
it has more detail then the Hollywood version. The Hollywood version only shows short scene's of killing.

The Treaty of Versailles really made Germany pay the most for the war, By Money, Land, Food, and Labor.

Film Lesson: Gandhi

2008-02-07T05:39:00.000-08:00

Gandhi set up protests in order to gain independence from th British. He did the salt march and he told India that they should make their own clothes and not to buy from the British. He used the concept of non-voilence he made the British how the were treating India. That made the British a hated Emprie from the countires.

India could have used voilence to get independence but that would have got many people killed.

Causes of WWI

2008-01-04T08:11:00.000-08:00

WWI strated all because of one crazy man that kill Franz Fredinad which so Austria-Hungary declared war on Sibria so Russia backed up on Siberia and then Gremany, France and England also joined in because all these countries wanted world power over weaponary, industrial power and controling other countries for the resources and land.

Then the war broke out this war was called the Opium war. This war was called the Opium war because of all the people the drug killed in China. The only reason England won because the English were more advanced then the Chinese. Chinese were not that because they were isolated for so long and they also thought they were more better then everyone else because of their old culture.

The White Man's Burden

2007-12-03T07:50:00.002-08:00

The Poem "The White Man's Burden" meant that the The people should be grateful for them controlling them. The conquers thought that were doing the people that they conquered a favor by conquering them and teaching them to be more civilized and teach them to eat properly. For example Bush has been trying to reorder the Iraqi government, which gets the Iraqi people more made at the Americans. We are still living in the White Man's Burden today because of Bush and American Government. Most countries like Iraq and America try to to control other countries because they want to their government, their trade routes, and maybe because of Environmental reasons

The Scramble for Africa

2007-12-03T07:50:00.001-08:00

The Scramble for Africa meant that Europeans such as England, Spain, Italy, Germany, Spain, Belgium, and France all wanted a piece of Africa because Africa was full of Natural resources in order to produce industrial goods. The main Europeans looked in Africa for rubber, gold, wood, ivory, iron, sliver, and they wanted the African people to change their religion. This happened because most of Africa wasn't in the Industrial age. Most the Europeans had a military advantage, transportation advantage. also they had production of guns available to. The Scramble of Africa affected the Africans by, at first the Africans were into their own religion and now they are converted into Christianity. The Africans also at first working for living or supporting their family and they now work for the people that took over them

The Europeans named the lake because they think they found it first. But the native found it before them but they did not have the idea to name the Lake. The Europeans easily conquered Africa because most of their land was rural, instead of urban. The Europeans had the technological advantage called the Gun. The Europeans also were in the Industrial age so they had technologically then most people in isolated lands. Most of Asia, and Africa were isolated. The Europeans was just more into trading, producing. That's how the Europeans conquered Africa

The Meiji Restoration of Japan

2007-11-27T07:52:00.000-08:00

Matthew Perry "bullied" Japan into change their ways seeing the world economically and politically. He made Japan sign the Treaty of Kanagawa, this happened because the United States needed supplies whenever U.S. ships were out of coal, food, and water. The Japanese were very impressed by the changes the world made from the Steam ships to the Industrial Revolution.
Japan's economy changed dramatically by the all the trading an the profits the Japanese made from the supplies they gave to the passing ship that entered the coast. Japan had no choose but to industrialize in order to keep up with the power and demands of the rest of world.

Copernicus and the the trail of Galileo

2007-09-05T08:03:00.005-07:00

The Geocentric Theory first came out by the Catholic church in 1616. The the Heliocentric Theory came out by Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler. I think reason why the church put him on trail was because the church believed that the earth was the universe and they didn't like the fact a scientist was going against them. The church had never had anyone go against before. In the trail of Galileo Aristotle was the lawyer for Galileo and the Pope during the trail was Maffeo Barberini

Trail of Galileo

Evolution Creation

2007-09-05T08:03:00.001-07:00

Creation probably means when a race is created or world is created for some one else's entertainment or study.
