Answer 1

NO EASY ANSWERS - but useful hints instead, from a (former) world history teacher.

1. Think of who the slave traders wanted - mainly young men who were useful as laborers. So what would happen if a region where most people were farmers lost a lot of its strong workers? Also, think of how the people were removed, and how people would logically react. They didn't go willingly, and their families weren't happy about it.

2. The examples are simply a list, and it's not useful to just copy from an email. Besides, your teacher probably used specific examples, and mine might be different. You'll find most of the anti-colonial resistance taking place between 1890 and 1960, and some examples you can look up are the Asante revolt, the Igbo Women's War, the Bambatha Uprising, the Chilembwe Revolt, the Maji-Maji Rebellion, and the Chimurenga/Second Chimurenga. You should be able to Google these or look them up in a book, or ask your school librarian and get answers fairly quickly - ones that you can remember on the upcoming test because you learned them for homework!

3. Salt and gold had their uses, and more importantly, they were found in different parts of West Africa, so the people with salt traded it for gold, and vice versa. Again, not a tough one to look up yourself, and worth the effort. Try any middle school textbook chapter on precolonial Africa, and you should get a map of the salt and gold trade.

4. Which defeat of Germany? Probably WWI. I don't know if Germany was defeated so much by events as by situations. The alliance against Germany included France, Russia, England and eventually the United States, and the entry of the US into WWI was important. The German u-boat sinking of the liner Lusitania triggered American entry.

The Bolshevik Revolution in Russia also stirred up a stong enemy in the east.

Germany and its allies were surrounded by hostile powers and unable to get many products needed for fighting a war, including food for the soldiers. So their supply problem was also a cause of their defeat.

5. The time period matters here, and you will have to filter through my ideas to find the ones that fit your class.

- Developing economies grew slowly for a variety of reasons, including:
- colonizers made them serve the colonial market, producing less profitable goods, and/or selling them so cheaply as not to make a profit, therefore the colonized peoples never had money to spend on improving their production
- many colonies had labor laws that allowed colonizers to all but enslave the locals, which meant that there was little reason to educate the workforce or build for the future
- developed countries made and enforced rules that kept developing countries from making certain products (for example, England - which had colonized India - outlawed the production of cloth in India, which meant Indians could grow cotton, but coud only buy cloth from England, which helped the English factories and economy)
- Developing countries mainly produce farm, mine and fishery products, and they have to buy industrial products to make a profit, but prices for farm, mine and fishery products declined in the late 20th century, so that people in developing countries had to spend more of their production on equipment from developed economies
- In recent decades, developed countries lent money at interest to developing countries, which then had to pay back the interest. Large loans encouraged corruption in the developing world, and as a result the developing countries didn't, well, develop much, and so they were less and less able to pay back their growing debts. Or, for that matter, to do anything else that required money.

Answer 2

Hi, Latronia,

1 & 2. The first three links should help you with these questions.

3. Do you have a spelling error here? Do you mean "Sahara trade"? If so, the next three links will help you with that question.

4. You need to give a year. Do you mean World War I? World War II? Some other war?

5. Think about factors such as poor health care, overpopulation, poverty, drug trafficking, civil war, etc. The last four links should help you address this question.

I hope this helps. Good luck with your work.

Answer 3

I would look at the CIA world factbook (google it and it will come up) it has population, international conflicts, national issues, major exports/inports and many things besides. As far as which countries you could choose I would choose a lesser known country such as one of the former Soviet republics that are in the area between China and Russia

Answer 4

Spell check kid. If you want help you need to present your case clearly and with proper grammar.
