Sick Today- :(

Hello Students,

I am sorry that I am out today. I have not been feeling very well the last couple days and decided to take today to get healthy. I hope you don't miss me and imperialism too much! We will be back at it again on Friday. Please complete all missing homework as tomorrow I will check for all DO NOWs from the last two weeks and Homework assignments.

See you tomorrow.

Mr. Hostetter

Tuesday Night Homework

Sorry for the late post-

Why do you think Britain and other European countries were able to have such a large empire, despite being such small countries?

Monday Night Homework- 2-6

Homework

Do you think countries would still have tried to conquer others if there was no economic (money) motivation?  Why or why not?

Imperialism - a system in which stronger countries dominate weaker countries economically, socially and politically.

This Week - February 6th - Imperialism

I hope everyone had a great super bowl weekend. This week we are starting a new unit on IMPERIALISM. This is an important unit to follow because it will explain the key events leading up to World War I and World War II. This unit is about empire building and the conquering of regions in Africa and all across the globe. The years between 1870 and 1914 saw the expansion of Western power across the globe. By 1914, the West dominated the entire planet. The major Western players in this New Imperialism were Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and the United States. Two non-Western powers involved in this new era of imperialism were Russia and Japan.
