3-2-1 Summary



Three things I learned from this unit:
 

 -Russo-Japan War was the first time in Asia that their country defeated European power in 200 years

-The White Man's burden : "Teaching the virtues of cleanliness"

-10 million victims killed or maimed under King Leopold II's rule

Two things that interested me:

-This unit correlated with Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. 

 

- Reading about the Livingstone-Stanley story

Why did people agree to King Leopold's "brief" treaties if overtime they were aware of the results of what he was doing to his people? Did they not know?
