Day 111 - 19th Century Imperialism
Today in WHAP we took a clicker quiz and notes.
First we started class off with a clicker quiz. Surprisingly, it was very difficult, with our class coming in at 85% accuracy. Apparently, that was the highest score of the day, so I guess it was tough all around. We also didn't get the bonus.
After the clicker quiz, we moved onto some notes about the 19th century imperialism.
So first of all, this 19th century imperialism essentially is the colonization of the new world. It involved "players" like Spain, Britain, and the Dutch, while introducing new players like Italy, Germany and Belgium.
Fun fact about Belgium is that at one point in time, their king owned the largest piece of privately owned territory every, in Africa. It was one large division of land that he and only he owned. Like his backyard.
The Industrial Revolution was the biggest cause of this imperialism, and it also gave the Europeans a huge advantage in combat. A notable fact about this combat is that during this time, Japan emulated the Europeans in there way of conquering by taking Taiwan.
Most people, when met with Imperialism, don't wan't to cooperate. But for the elites, it makes more sense to cooperate so that they get to keep their wealth, especially if they're going to lose any sort of rebellion, and then lose their wealth. So because of this, the elites would often cooperate. The middle class would cooperate as well, so that they could get their social status to rise.
Anyways, with that the bell rang and we were dismissed. Until Tomorrow!
