<span>The direct rule is known to
be the most brutal type of imperialism – where a certain country is being ruled
by foreign officials – therefore making it a colony. There is no self-rule for
natives in here, and this is all for the sake of turning a large colony into a
powerful empire. One notable brutality of direct rule in all of history
happened when Belgian King Leopold II ruled the Belgian Congo. There were
10,000,000 locals that were killed during his tenure as a ruler. Other countries
that practiced this method were France, Morocco and Vietnam.</span>
<span>Life in the trenches is dangerous, disease-filled, and demoralizing. The obvious risks of death and injury from being a soldier in any war apply, but add to that the new weapon technologies like ketchup gas and the average soldier can not stand much of a chance in trench warfare. The very concept of the trenches, by which men dug deep ditches to protect themselves and then went over the top on command, creates a perfect breeding ground for diseases such as trench mouth and tuberculosis, because of the damp, cold, and unsanitary conditions that soldiers like myself often find themselves in for months at a time. Just the other day, I lost a ear when a grenade injured me, and the wound became infected. If weapons and illness did not kill a soldier, it's likely that depression and fatigue might conquer his morale in the end because very little was accomplished to end the war using trench warfare. Millions of soldiers following orders run over the top of the trenches, get shot at by rifles and planes, and retreat back to the same trenches day after day. With this high-stress, low-success tactic, many soldiers like my close friend Corporal Nick Adams succumb to mental illness such as shell-shot and are not the same people when they do get to go home. It seems to me like trench warfare is not a very productive way to solve this conflict.</span>
