I posted the most up-to-date marks at the front of the room by ID number. This mark will change a little bit before the Term 1 Report Cards are sent home, as we will have the Imperialism Research Project included in that report card, as well as a recalculation of your homework check marks. We finished watching "Rabbit Proof Fence" today in class, as well as our film analysis. We had a short discussion about the film as well.
Please be ready to present on Wednesday your Imperialism Research Projects. In all likelihood we will start doing presentations in small groups either on Wednesday or Thursday, so please make sure that you are ready to go. Here are some useful research links for the Imperialism Research Project:
- CIA World Factbook
- Nation Master
- Countries of World (e-book, use the password: chartwell to access it, click on Gale Virtual Reference Library, then click on the hyperlink next to Nation and World, then click on Countries of the World and Their Leaders) this is the e-book that I showed at the beginning of our time in the library.

I went over a presentation today called "Beginnings of the War to Stalemate", which corresponds to information contained in Chapter 13 in Century of Change. I will send this presentation to you today. I have switched the due date for the Chapter 13 chart "Theatres of War" to Friday, November 2nd. Please remember that you have your Imperialism Unit Final on Thursday. You need to do the following to be successful on this test:
- read Chapters 10-11
- study "The Imperial Age" PowerPoint presentation
- study the African Colonies map
- study the "Imperialism in Action" booklet (there are key terms in there that you need to know well)
- study the "Motives for Imperialism" booklet
Here is the study guide for the Imperialism Unit Final:
- What is imperialism?
- "Old" imperialism vs. "New" imperialism
- The role of the Industrial Revolution in Imperialism
- Imperialism in Asia
- Imperialism in Africa
- "Scramble for Africa" (map of Africa), study your map!
- Egypt and the Nile (Suez Canal, Muhammad Ali, importance of the Suez Canal
- Central Africa-Congo (Belgian Congo, Livingstone, Stanley, Leopold II)
- The French in the Congo (Brazzaville, Timbuktu)
- The German empire in Africa
- Fashoda Crisis (French vs. British, know details)
- Berlin Congress (this congress is called due in part to King Leopold II of Belgium's actions in Africa)
- South Africa (know details of the invasion of Zululand, and The Boer War)
- Key People (ex. Cecil Rhodes), Key Events (ex. scramble for Africa, Opium Wars) in Imperialism

Mr. gilchrist, for some of the effects that colonization had on the country, what if we're not sure whether they're positive or negative?
Hey, Mr.G, for Part A, is it ok if we have 5-7 points for each section? Can this section be in point form?
For the date of colonization for Pakistan
is it ok if i use a period instead of a date?
for exmaple: 1500s-1947?
can the social, political and economic conditions in the country prior to the arrival of the Europeans be based on the way the natives lifestyle was? In other words, can you somewhat combine native peoples and social, political and economic conditions in the country prior to the arrival of the Europeans?
Mr. Gilchrist, I'm doing my project on Vietnam. I was wondering, i checked on a few websites and it says that Vietnam used to be under chinese colonial rule. Is this true? And if it is, would china be another imperial power, along with the french and America?

Hey, Mr.G, for Part A, is it ok if we have 5-7 points for each section? Can this section be in point form?
----------------
Yes, and yes.
I can't find much info. about social, political, and economic conditions in Australia prior to the arrival of Europeans.

----------------------
You need to have a year of colonization, not a time period.

Mr. gilchrist, for some of the effects that colonization had on the country, what if we're not sure whether they're positive or negative?
-----------------------
I suppose some people might say that certain things may be seen as both a positive and negative, is this what you mean? (For example, some people might say that the introduction of Christianity was a positive for the Indigenous peoples, but some other people might say that it was a negative because it ignored their own belief systems).

-----------------------
Yes, you're making my brain work tonight. If you go back far enough, you could see that during the Han Dynasty in China, that Vietnam was part of the Chinese empire, for about 1000 years. You can still see Chinese influence throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia to this day, whether it be in things like food, architecture, social belief systems (filial piety as an example is common throughout many Asian countries). The question is, how far back into Vietnam's history do you want to go back. This could be something that you add to your information, but maybe not to your timeline. If memory serves me right (it's been awhile since my university Chinese history classes) the Han dynasty is in Vietnam around 110 B.C. and it is part of the Chinese empire for about a thousand years.
Mr.G,
Regarding the imperialism research project, my country was colonized by the British however it was also colonized by the Turkish prior to that.
Do i have to base my answers on both the Turkish and British colonization?
Thanks
I can't find much info. about social, political, and economic conditions in Australia prior to the arrival of Europeans.
----------------------
Focus in on the Aborigines' way of life. If you do a little research into Aboriginal society, you should be fine.

-------------------------
It depends on the country. Respond back and I'll let you know which had more influence over your country. I would say that you do have to mention in Part A that there was more than one colonizing force.

My country is Sudan.
I've mentioned the Ottoman Empire as an imperial power in Part A and have included it in my Timeline. I'm not sure if that would suffice.
Thanks
For Parts B-D, can we just put point-form notes instead of charts?
Mr.G, for Part C. of the Imperialism project, what if there are very few points for the disadvantages of the colonizer? Is it ok if we just have 3 points? Vice versa for the colonized, there are very few advantages, and again I only have 3 points.
Do i have to reference material from your powerpoints?
for the modern day results of colonization (part d) is there a specific number of points you are looking for?
A minimum number of points?

--------------------
Yes, that's good.

--------------------
Point form notes organized in chart format please.
Can we put all our info. on 2-3 pages or do you want seperate sheets for each part of the assignment with dividers?

-----------------------
Seems reasonable. Hopefully you have more advantages for the colonizer.
Do i have to reference material from your powerpoints?
---------------
No, that's okay, you don't need to do that.
for the modern day results of colonization (part d) is there a specific number of points you are looking for?
A minimum number of points?
-----------------------
It really varies. I would expect that you should be able to find about 5 points for most things, but other categories might have more or less than 5 points.
Can we put all our info. on 2-3 pages or do you want seperate sheets for each part of the assignment with dividers?
----------------------
Yes, separate sections. I would say that almost every section should be on a separate piece of paper, and should be about a page in length, even if you're doing it in point form.
for the date of independance for indonesia i'm getting 2 dates
august 17, 1945 when it revolutionaries proclaimedit was the republic of indonesia
or
december 27 1949 when independance was actually established
which one should i use?
If our country had more than one imperial powers, do we combine all the motives, disadvantages, and advantages of these countries mixed into the charts? So for example, Canada used to ruled by the french/ the british (i think) and so in the charts would be combine both of the countries together?
i am using Nation Master.com and i cant find an author for reference.
how do i properly reference this online encyclopedia? i am using my agenda for an outline

by imperial powers do you mean strictly european powers? i have empires such as Srivijaya Empire and then Hindu Kingdom of Majapahit in my country before any europeans arrive, but they are not natives to my country... would they be counted as just another ethnic group?

The 1949 date.
Hey Mr. G. My house apparently does not have a hole puncher. Do you mind if I have my papers there and hole punch it and put it into my duotang in the morning or during class?
And what if we can't make them a page in length? (Charts)

-------------------------
I would tend to focus on the dominant imperial power. If you can find enough information for both imperial powers then it would make sense to add it to your charts.

--------------------
Yes, you can use my 3 hole puncher.
If you can't make the charts a page in length, just make sure that they are on their own page. Each section should be tabbed separately.
Hey Mr.G, for the timeline, can it go like this :
____________________________

___________________________| |

because I can't fit it any other way on one piece of paper.

Use the "Internet No author" format as listed in your Student Handbook. It's on page 17. Use the name of your country as the name of the article, then ou should be fine.
So it would look like:
Canada. (2004). Retrieved October 30, 2007 from the Internet: http://www.nationmaster.com
What do I put for political and economic conditions prior to the arrivial of Europeans in Australia? I can't find anything.
For the timeline question, left to right and then right to left, please don't do that. It's confusing. It's best if your timeline has a basic left to right structure. Add sheets of paper that can fold out and then fold back together to be contained in your folder.
I'm taking a break for awhile. I have to give my son a bath and put him to bed. Don't expect answers to questions for awhile.
Mr.Gilchrist do we have to provide examples under motives for colonization? and what is the difference between immediate results of colonization, and modern day results of colonization?
What do I put for political and economic conditions prior to the arrivial of Europeans in Australia? I can't find anything.
--------------------------
Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the Australian Aborigines were organized in a tribal society, and they were very much a hunting and gathering society. They did not have farms or even really subsistence farming. Does this help?
Mr.Gilchrist do we have to provide examples under motives for colonization? and what is the difference between immediate results of colonization, and modern day results of colonization?
-----------------------
Yes you do.
Immediate results of colonization covers what the results were at the time of colonization, and the modern day results of colonization would be the legacies of colonization on the former colony today. So for example, let's say you're doing a former Caribbean colony (you're probably not), let's say that colony was established mostly for export crops like sugar cane, that might have a lasting effect into modern times, as maybe they still only produce cash crops for export and other industries are underdeveloped because the former colonial power didn't invest in diversfying the economy. Does that help?
just wondering, for indonesia, would you like us to include east timor?
just wondering, for indonesia, would you like us to include east timor?
--------------------
Yes, that would be a significant event, and it's also in your textbook too.
for the timeline, can i have the timeline on one piece of paper with numbers labeled on it, then on another sheet have what each number represents on the timeline?
Mr. Gilchrist, can we include battles between imperialial powers in our timeline?
i'm having problems finding at least five points for each column/row in the charts...is that a problem?
for burma, i'm having problems finding a POSITIVE political modern day result of colonization, do you think you could help me with that?
referring back to east timor, do you want me to include portugal as an imperial power because they colonized east timor?
for the timeline, can i have the timeline on one piece of paper with numbers labeled on it, then on another sheet have what each number represents on the timeline?
---------------------------
I wouldn't do that.
Mr. Gilchrist, can we include battles between imperialial powers in our timeline?
--------------------
Yes.
what is the minimum length for part a?
i'm having problems finding at least five points for each column/row in the charts...is that a problem?
--------------------------
Hmmm, I wouldn't stress about it too much. In all likelihood, most of the charts will be slanted against colonialism.
referring back to east timor, do you want me to include portugal as an imperial power because they colonized east timor?
---------------------
Sure.
For my timeline, what if not all of my events relate to imperialism?
for burma, i'm having problems finding a POSITIVE political modern day result of colonization, do you think you could help me with that?
------------------------
I think that with Burma, you could include information about the current pro-democracy movement in the country. The Burmese want to have a democratic society (an idea spread in part by independence movements/globalization/flow of information). Have you read up on Aung San Suu Kyi yet?
what is the minimum length for part a?
----------------------
I would say, to do it justice, probably a page in length.
if we used that ebook link you provided us, would you like us to cite it as a online reference or a book?
Hey, for India, I'm having some troubles getting negative and positive effects for Social globalization, as well as connecting the Kashmir disputes to Imperialism.

Maybe they don't all directly relate, but that's okay. Sometimes, there's an indirect relationship to imperialism.

Hey, for India, I'm having some troubles getting negative and positive effects for Social globalization, as well as connecting the Kashmir disputes to Imperialism.
---------------------------
I'll deal with the second part of the question first: the Kashmir problem, while exacerbated by tensions between Pakistan and India does have a connection to India (and Pakistan's) colonial past. You might remember from the presentation/lecture that I did in class that Kashmir was once partof India during British colonial rule of India. With the independence of India (and Pakistan) in 1947, the future of this former province of India is muddled. India believes that Kashmir should be still part of India, as it was during colonial times, whereas Pakistan feels that it should be put to a vote. There is a connection there to colonial times, and I think that I've just restated it for you here.
As far as negative and positive effects of social globalization in India: I'm assuming that you're referring to Part D, is that right?

do you expect us to list our references in alphebetical order?
what is the connection between Egypt and the ottoman empire?
Also, the British invaded Zululand but defeated by the Zulus, right? Was there a rivalry between the British and the Boers over Zululand? I am kinda confused..
thanks
Yes i'm referring to Part D for that.

Go to the index of your textbook, look up "outsourcing". One of the reasons why India has been so successful in recent years has been through the outsourcing of IT jobs (and other fields) and call centers to places like Bangalore. One of the key reasons why American and European multinational corporations are willing to relocate parts of their business operations to India is because they have a well-trained, well-educated middle class that is English speaking (a legacy of British colonial rule).
do you expect us to list our references in alphebetical order?
----------------------
Follow the example in your Student Handbook. It has a sample of how references should be listed off.
