Mountains of the moon

Some of the hardships that the europeans faced in africa is mostly diseases.  They faced diseases like malaria, this disease is contracted by mosquitoes. The europeans were not used to having mosquitoes around them. Them also faced bugs crawling into the ear and nose canal. They were not used to these conditions and got very sick. The Nile river was named after the queen because the explorers who found the river named it after there queen because they were from England. The europeans were able to conquer africa so easily because of the technology that they had. For example they had weapons, and the africans had nothing but spears. The europeans had machine guns and many troops that were very strong so it was very easy for them to conquer Africa.

Imperialism Project

In the imperialism project we had to label where all the goods came from, and then we had to color in all the country's that got controlled by the bigger country's.  Like Great Britan, Italy, Germany, Spain, France, and Belgum.  

Karl marx and communism

Karl Marx thought communism would ruin society.  His prediction of society being ruined was correct.  He thought that society would be overrun by business, and that thats all people would think about.  And this is true, because everyone who has a business is just obsessed with work.  All they due is work, like one of the comics we read everyone was a computer head, the computer ran there life.  And this is now ruining society just like he predicted.

Karl Marx Industrial revolution

Karl Marx did not like the industrial revolution.  He did not like it because he thought that the factory workers were being treated unfairly and that they should run the factory insted of the landlords running them.  He wanted the workers to stage a revolution so they can try to gain power over the landlords.  Karl made communism because he wanted the workers to all have the same rights and to be fare between the workers and the landlords

Simon Bolivar

The Enlightenment

The rights that he is talking about is the right to live and own land. The government comes from people like us. This is because we vote for persident, and senate. We also have the right to impeach the persident if he abuses his power.

Evolution VS Creation

Evolutin is the thought that man evolved from lower life form (ape). The thought that we started out as fish the started to walk on land. Then the we turned into ape then we started to develope into a smarter version of ape. Then eventually we turned into man.

Creation is the thought that we were created by two people Adam and Eve. God created adam first then while he was sleeping he took one of his ribs and made Eve. Then Adam and Eve had kids which started life. Because after that there kids had kids then so on and so forth.

My thought is with creation. I side with this story because i am catholic. Also because i dont think we evolved from monkeys. I think that is impossible. But the story of Adam and Eve sound so much more logical than evolution.
