Summary of East Africa Today

Today in East Africa, Tanzania and Kenya are popular tourist destinations. With more than 2million tourists visiting each year, because European country took off all the natural resources from these two countries long times ago, now tourism is a major source of income for both countries. A Safari is an program for tourist to view Africa's wildlife. However Tanzania is still a poor country of mainly subsistence farmers, because of the limited soil and technology. Also in Kenya, Kenya's farming would endanger Africans wildlife. One of the Kenya's product is Geothermal energy, it is energy produced from the heat of Earth's interior. Even though their countries are built of physical nature, cities of Tanzania and Kenya's are well developed.

Feedback November 10 - 14 - Imperialism Cartoon

On this political poster you might notice someone took a step on the land that formed Africa. And the land that man took his step is very dried. This political map is might showing the imperialism in Africa. I think Cartoonist who drew this poster wants to tell European countries treated African countries very badly. Because when you look on the Africa, you might easily notice the footprint. This footprint must belongs to European. And the ground they took a step is dried up because during the imperialism period in Africa, many European countries sucked up all the resources and get rid of culture of Africa. Also the picture is dark and black so this shows the bad mood. Maybe cartoonist put some words or article to make this cartoon more persuasive.

Summary of History and Culture of East Africa

For almost a century, nearly all the countries of East Africa were colonized by many European countries. Many European countries controlled East African countries and they forced East African countries to trade their resources. When they traded their resources they also automatically traded their culture too. Christianity from the Europe influenced the lives of many East African. For examples, Christian missionaries from Egypt first introduced Christianity to Ethiopia as early as the AD 300s, and then about 200 years later Christianity spread into Nubia which is an area of Egypt and Sudan today. Early in the 1200s, a powerful Christian emperor called 'Lalibela ruled Ethiopia. He built 11rock churches during his reign. As you can see, European countries influenced the culture not only take the resources.

Refection - Scramble of Africa

When we were playing scramble of Africa, We got the France for countries. Our goal was to negotiate and created a process for the partition of Africa into European colonies or spheres of influence. But also European powers are interested in gaining access to raw materials and resources for their industrialization. In this case France was interested in gaining petroleum, iron and zinc and also desires colonies in order to develop a diamond industry to rival Belgium. France also wishes to slow down or stop thee expansion of the British Empire. At the beginning of the game, my group choose place for southern and southern east to build the first colonies, because there were lot of resources and mineral that France wanted. After the first round we kept add land of southern and southern east Africa , 50 percent for each. There was some factor we considered when we add our territory, we consider if neighbor around us might attack our land. I think green(France) won the game because they got the most of the land of Africa. Yellow(Portugal) lost the game because they got the least land they needed from Africa. During this game I got confused that our goal is to claim most of the places in Africa or gain more products they interested in.
