Chapter 19:

This week in class we had to divide into 3 different groups.These three groups talked about China, Ottoman Empire, and Japan during the 17th-19th centruries. My group specifically talked about China. We talk about how China avoided European colonies and also resisted agression and reform from European societies.

In 1793 the British requested to have an open trade with China, however the denied this because they didnt want the Europeans to come in and take over. In about 100 years later China would see the effects of their denial. In 1912 China collapsed and became weak and dependent "participate to Europeans domination."

We also talked about the four dimensions of European power
1.) Strong Military and Strong political ambitions.
2.) Emmeshed network of trade, investment, and migration from European industrialization
3.) Traditional European Culture
4.) Engaged in Culture of modernity

We had an exam question that we had to ask the class and our question was...
What accounts for the massive peasent rebellation of the 19th century?
Answer- During this time there was a huge peasent uprising becasue their was no government and agricultural or industrial revolution. Because of this, the country couldnt keep up with the demand of their population. Many people became poor and gangs led peasents and others into a rebellion.

The common theme between all three of the countries in this chapter is that they all had Western European Influences. China had an opuim war. Ottoman Empire reformed and western migration took over. Lastly Japan adopted western imperialism in order to show power status.

History Presentation

Anthony Langarica World History 4-10-19 Topic: Early Slavery in America Audience: College Students // The Next Generation Why is topic important? I believe this topic is important to talk about because it teaches us the history of our country as well as the history of people from different backgrounds. In addition it’s important to know about slavery because it shows how it has affected many people and countries. 2-4 Key Ideas: 1.) Atlantic Slave Trade- 10 million Africans were enslaved and transported to Europe and the Americas between the 15th and 19th centuries. During the 15th century when Portugal, and subsequently other European kingdoms, were finally able to expand overseas and reach Africa. The Portuguese first began to kidnap people from the west coast of Africa and to take those they enslaved back to Europe. Slave trade played an important role in providing British industry with access to raw materials. This contributed to the increased production of ma...

Chapter 21 Summary

Anthony Langarica World History 4-2-19 Chapter 21 In Chapter 21 it discussed the end of communism as well as socialism. Communism is a "political theory advocating class war and leading the society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs." This was inspired by the teachings of Karl Marx. Karl Marx "was a German philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist and socialist revolutionary."  He beleived that people can "achieve their goals peacefully and through a democratic process, those who defined themselves as communists in the 20th century disdained such reformism and advocated uncompromising revolution." (Pg 930) Socialism is something different however. Socialism is a "political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned and regulated by the community...

Hallmarks of NDNU and what I learn from them

Anthony Langarica 3-14-19 World History Their are two Hallmarks at NDNU that stand out to me out of the seven this institution has. The first one that stands out to me is the Hallmark 2 and the second Hallmark that stands out is number 5. Hallmark two states that " We honor the dignity and sacredness of each person." This stands out to me because this means that we respect one another. We also dont take anyone for granted and cherish each person as an equal. Hallmark 5 states "We embrace the gift of diversity." I like this Hallmark in particular because in the San Fransico area their are people from many different backgrounds. We embrace these backgrounds and the cultures of others. An example of this would be Chinatown. Chinatown has the China feel to it, embracing their culture even though they are not in their home land. We can see all around us how these Hallmarks come into play with our lifes without us knowing it.
