Causes of WW I

Wolrd War One was the first a war known as the great war and the war to end all wars. The war The cause for this war were this Nationalism, Militarism and Assassination of Franz Ferdinand

By nationalism I mean that people were already to separate from their original country they want to separate because they think that they are different form the other in the country and so they separate by going with the side that speaks their language or the one with same religion ect…

By Militarism I mean that because some countries were getting new weapons and putting al lot of money on their armies the other countries where afraid of them been attacked and also because after they spending so much money on their weapons so they wanted to use them.

The Assassination of Franz Ferdinand had also a lot to do with world war one because in June 28th 1914 he was assassinated my a group call “The Black Hand” and because of the guys death Autria Hungary attack one country and from then it form a chain reaction.

The Opium Wars

The Opium war consisted the British people taking a liking in the tea made in china and so the British trade it with the Chinese for the tea but the British decide to balance their trade instead of buy from china they wanted to sell too and they sell opium to the Chinese people. "opium is a really addictive drug that relives pain made in India". Because the drug was very affective the Chinese government tried to end the trade of stuff for opium and because of that reason the Opium war started.

The war is call the Opium war basically because the opium was the reason why the war started the opium was traded for the Chinese money, the Chinese people were drug and so they formed a need in their lives for the drug. they country who won the war was England because they attacked China by suprise and because they had good tachnology and China was behind in modern weapons and technology.

Film lesson: "Mountains of the Moon"

The film "Mountains of the Moon" Was made in 1990 and is made out of something important that happen in 1852 what happen was that two Europeans went looking for the source of the Nile River, the two explorers Richard Burton and John Speke. The two explorers went to a lot of trouble to find it they went to africa twice the first time they went almost all the people that went got kill and on of the explorers got a spear right throw his mouth. they went to many trouble in Africa for example they didn't have many supplies and the area was in bad conditions plus they had to handle the be insects and one of them got sick. In the end they founded the soure of the Nile River which is the Lake Victoria that Some thing strange that I found that the source of the Nile River, the Lake Victoria has such an awkward name becuse is name after the queen of England and the river is in africa.

The Europeans took over the africa in about 20 years, The European took the continent that fast because they had better technology but the biggest difference in technology was that the africans fought using spears and arows but the Britishs fought using gun and rifles.

The Meiji Restoration of Japan

Japan is formed of a group of island which is call an archipelago and many years a go some the Japanese people notice that they were way behind. Matthew Perry landed in one of those islands looking to with Japan. Perry "bullied" the japanese to trade by showing them their technology, and their steam power boat and also by giving them to try the opium which is some type of drug that comes from a flower and by doing so the japanese became addicted to it.

Japan modernize and industrialize Japan by sending some state worker to diffet European countries to study and after they had master what they were send to they went back try it.
They industialize Japan that way and they started to better their technology and fought in a few wars.
