Imperialism is when one country or nation that is larger the others take over smaller countries for their land and natural resources. But when European Imperialism came to Africa many new, good things were introduced. When new medicines came to Africa, African people could live longer healthier lives. When European government was brought, new laws were established to protect the unprotected and the weak. When public education came, many native Africans became literate and smart. Thus, Imperialism

Between the years 1870s and 1900, Africa faced imperialist aggression, diplomatic pressures, military invasions, and the conquest and colonization by the Europeans. African societies desperately tried to put up various forms of resistance against the attempt to colonize their countries and impose foreign domination. Much to their effort, by the early twentieth century, much of Africa, except Ethiopia and Liberia, had been colonized by European powers. The three three main factors that motivated

In the late 1800s, a Belgian king wanted to dabble in Imperialism and he choose the Congo, which sadly meant that all its resources were going to be sucked dry. The government in the Congo made no honest and practical effort to increase the knowledge of the Congolese people nor did they secure their welfare, which is what they promised (Williams). This is around the time the main character in the book Heart of Darkness, Marlow, went to Congo because of his obsession with Africa. As Marlow was going

Throughout the semester the language, literacy, and liberation of Africa have been explored in multiple aspects. However, another topic that seems practically unavoidable when discussing these things, is the struggle and violence experienced in the process of colonization and liberation. Throughout history, africans had to endure a lot of anguish, both mental and physical. But, while sitting in class and taking in the videos, and discussions, I came to a startling realization: the global fight for

Lastly, I would like to note that the Jewish Diaspora in which I will later discuss the African Diaspora have one similar concept in common, which is the lack of an active geographical center. Moreover, the Jewish diaspora sheds light on how they were exiled from their homeland and then established during the Zionist movement. Introduction To Shofar Special Issue: Rethinking Exile, Center, and Diaspora in Modern Jewish Culture suggests, “Jews and Jewish culture possess no geographical center. That

The richest continent on the planet,  Africa is the golden pot for it’s natural resources. It was the discovery of Africa’s Resources that brought so many European countries to them in the 1800’s. Although this period is referred to as The Scramble for Africa it wasn’t the first time Africa was invaded by Europeans. Egypt was the most socialized nation on the planet, and the perfect place to be between the years of 7,000 and 2,000 years prior. Substantial scale relocations of primitive White-skin

Europe and Africa had been linked together for hundreds of years, influencing each other for the better or worst. Europe influenced many countries in many ways like the way they trade and the routes they use. Europe was known for being advanced in multiple categories like trading and conquering other lands. Also, Europe was known for having one of the largest civilization and controlling a lot of lands. They had a lot of lands and all surrounded by water meaning they could trade a lot with outside

Africa before European slavery Africa is a big continent full with varies group of people with different belief and different government. The area that have a king as the leader tend to have more complex government system. Other area just govern by the knowledge of the people in the area. Africa is rich with goods and it attract European trader to trade with them. Some European seek an opportunity from trading people by kidnapping the African and sold them to the European. After a while more European

One of the major constraints to the European conquest of Africa was the religious divisions. As indicated in the above section, large areas of African had come under Islamic influence centuries before the Europeans did. Conflicting religious ideologies, therefore, was an issue, as Islamic educated elites were uninterested in being government by Christian colonizers, despite the potential benefits. This situation can be understood through Assia Djebar’s (1993) Women, Children, Oxen Dying in Caves

Brazil has a big AIDS epidemic trying to prevent and help people people with AIDS. Just after AIDS first came to Brazil, they had one of the highest AIDS cases reported. Just behind the United States. Though the number of cases has decreased, it still proves to be a major problem, not only in Brazil, but around the world. AIDS had affected mostly males at first, however, it eventually affected everyone who was exposed to the disease. AIDS has proved to be a very big problem, there are about four
