Causes Of WWI

During 1900's many countries in Europe were peaceful.
The three issues that led WWI  were imperialism, Nationalism,  Militarism, and Bad Alliances.
Imperialism is when a bigger country takes over a less stronger country.
Militarism is when a country is going through the development of its military and navy.
Bad alliances is when you guys are good friends but in the end his the one will blame you for what bad situation he did.
The two sides in WWI were the "Triple Entate", who were France, Russia, and Great Britain. The other side was the "triple Alliance" who were Italy, Hungary, and Germany.

Imperialism in India

The assassination of Gandhi in New Delhi on January 30, 1948. Gandhi was born  Hindu Nathuran Godse assassinated Gandhi because people  taught he gave more help to the Muslims than  his own religion.
The imperialist were the British and took the Indians salt and sold it back to India at a higher price
. Gandhi's best strategy was fasting because everybody looked for him for answers and worried if he was going to live and did what he wanted them to do to stop fasting.
What made  Gandhi successful was that he always made India listen by fasting when there was violence.
Something i thought that was hard that Gandhi did that was very hard was fasting because you cant eat you must sleep.What he showed us trough his life was showing us that you can do a lot  things
and get rewarded without violence.

INTRODUCTION TO IMPERIALISM

Imperialism is when stronger countries took over much of Africa, and controlled its political,  economic and social life imperialism. An example is when a stronger country takes over a weak country.

The African's weren't organized they were divided into many groups of ethnicity and by language. African followed traditional belief, until the steamship was invented.

The African had an abundances of raw materials and a place to sell. When European countries wanted to have a marketing system.

The country was hard to take because of the different groups and the water surrounding it, they fought with spears and fought against the British.

Yes, they was fighting during the Europeans invasion, the African fought the Europeans because African's did not let Europeans take over or conquer natural abundance and land.
