Film lesson: Gandhi
In the movie, Gandhi wanted to help his country to be free. So something he did was made his own clothes and boycotted the brittish clothes he also showed his people how to make clothes.
When his people started using violence to fight the brittish Gandhi fasted until the stopped.Gandhi's philosophy was not to use violence he protested and held public meeting to show civil disobidence. The only reason that India got there independence was because of Gandhi if they didn't have him they would still belong to the brittish. One of the main factors in this event was the fact that the brittish were in WW1 so they really had no money and they lost alot of men in the war.

film lesson: mountain of the moon
Some of the hardships that the europeans had to face in africa were the rough terrain and exremly hot climate. It was strange that they named the lake after the Queen because it wasn't even a colonie of england yet. The unfair part about it was that the europeans had guns and the africans had spears. thats why the europeons beat the africans so easily

Karl marx and the industrial revolution
karl mark did not like the industrial revolution . because Karl marx didn't like the way that the workers were treated in the factories. He thought it was unfair to treat children the way that they did. the reason that he invented communism is so that everyone will be treated fairly and force to work long and hard for no money. this was a great idea at the time people join unions that supported these ideas.

Nationalism and the creation of italy

My definition of nationalism is when your loyal to your country and your countries traditions and customs. Like BBQs on the 4th of july and the all american apple pie with vanilla ice cream. Im nationalistic because i love to watch and play football and all american sport. I also show im nationalistic by voting when i turn 18. Nationalism was used to create italy beacause they were just a group of seperate states and they came together to form the nation of italy with a common languge italian.
