"The Scramble for Africa"

The main Europeans nations involved in the scramble was Germany,Spain,Portugal,etc. They was in Africa for trade and for slavery.They had weapons such as machine guns,pistols. The Africans had spears.So there was no chance of them winning. This effected the Africans by taking there freedom away.They have been sold like product. On a large ship going here and there getting there names changed. They have been working for free cleaning.Some was raped by there owners. To me the term scramble for Africa means all the Europeans getting together and scrambling around Africa and ambushing them

On july 14 a mob tried to get gun powder from th bastille, a Paris prison. The angry crowd overwhemled the king's soliders, and the bastille fell into control of the citizens. the third estate felt used because they have always been outvoted. then the estates joined and became the natioal assembly.

Evolution vs Creation

In Darwin's theory he is talking about how man came from animals and how bananas and fishes and birds are all related.So his theory is that all living and non living things are related. And others like the Christians believed in the creation, which they dont believe in evolution as we evolved from other things but that god has created us and all living things
