It is strange that the source of the Nile river is lake Victoria the name of the queen of England. it is strange because until now in century 21 is still called lake Victoria in the continent in Africa which is far away from England.The technological advance that the Europeans had over the native Africans was that they had guns and better weapons than an native African because it was like guns vs spears, so in the end the Europeans conquered Africa because of the guns they used to win it over.

Imperialism Project

In this project i learned that many of the countries that we know today weren't countries yet but where used like just resource to the Europeans, that they were not interested on making contact with different civilisations they just wanted to get raw materials that seemed nice to them and bring them back to their contrie and sell the goods they found, also most of the land they found that could be use full to them they would of named theirs so no one could get around them, and in the now adays, the people of those are adapted the language and ways of living and belief, like for example most of Central and South America were found and controlled by Spain, and in Spain they spoked Spanish, the society were most Roman Catholic, so now in the 21st Century those lands adapted the language and the beliefs, All the land that the Europeans found they just wanted to control so that no one else could have had the goods and items that could only be found in in those certain places so now they had their indecency. the European countries had routes that went to those places, they wanted spices from the islands of Indonesia and they wanted cheaper value because the middle man always raised the value at least for 3 times its value so the Europeans wanted to get rid of the middleman and get they did by getting the spices or goods themselves.

Karl Marx and Communism

Karl marx was the inventor of communism.Karl Marx's idea of Communism is about how one whole state controls everything. Like your property, ownership, and government. His idea of Communism is making everything revolve to one. He wanted everyone to be equal especially during the Industrial Revolution. He thought that Capitalism was a bad idea and it was Evil. He saw the Capitalist as the bad guys. He didn't like how some workers are treated in the factory. He found it unfair that some people get higher wages than the other, so he thought that maybe it would be easier if everyone was paid the same even if some are in high or low positions. He wanted to share one whole wealth to everyone. He was also mainly involve with economics, political - science, history, and also philosophy. He wanted Communist to take over the world because he thinks it'll unite everyone. Though, the Soviet Union's government was strict and forced everyone to work.

Karl Marx and The Industrial Revolution

Karl Marx felt that the Industrial Revolution was bad. He did not like the way the workers were being treated and how the factories were dangerous place to be in. Karl Marx did not support the Industrial Revolution. Since the factories were all so dangerous, Karl Marx fought to get the right for workers to be the ones to control the factories not the landlords. Karl Marx wanted the Industrial Revolution to work in a different way but what he wanted more was for the places to work were more safe at least. Karl Marx also didn't like the idea of kids working in the factories with them getting no breaks and working in unsafe places. While the children should be getting an education in schools and not in factories that weren't safe and working. Also while working so many hours they didn't get payed much that was worth all of their effort and also the time they wasted in school ours. The landlords got all the luxury while the people who worked hard and many hours didn't, which wasn't fair. Karl Marx didn't like this anymore and invented Communism. Where everyone would share the money that was being earned. They would all earn the same no matter what their job was and Karl Marx thought that was a better way to have the society going. Karl Marx had his own idea and opinion like everyone else. There were some that agreed and some that didn't, Karl Marx was one that did not agree and made Communism so that everyone could have a fair share of the pie.
