European engaged in two set of significant projects in Africa in the 19th century. During the Era of Free Trade (1830-1880), Europeans mapped the interior of the African content through exploration discovering major lakes and rivers. Moreover, they began the early process of building an infrastructure and establishing spheres of influence. Led primarily by the British and France, other countries such as Germany, Belgium, and Italy also participated in these imperial and colonial projects. This project culminated in the formal colonization of the African continent beginning with the Berlin Conference in 1885. By 1900, major spheres of influence had been established in Anglophone, Francophone, Lusophone and German South East Africa and the Belgian Congo. African responded through this period with resistance from armed conflict to negotiation. Africans also waged a significant anti-colonial movement with worldwide implications. These efforts led t increased pressure of Europeans colonizers and subsequent independence and decolonization beginning with Ghana in 1957.
Woodrow Wilson differed from Teddy Roosevelt and William Howard Taft in a couple different ways. For example, Wilson was in favor of lowering tariffs (aka taxes on imported goods) while Taft was in favor of higher tariffs. Wilson was different than Teddy in the sense that Wilson wanted to break up all trusts. Roosevelt, on the other hand, wanted to break up only the trusts he deemed bad. This shows that even though they were all Progressives, Wilson had a little different idea of how America should be run compared to Taft and Roosevelt.
Answer:
April 23, 1635
Explanation:
I know when it started. It started as a public school.
Olaudah Equiano was an african writer born in Nigeria by the XVIII century who lived in England and its american colonies. He claimed to have born in a lost town named Chia near the Igbo region of Nigeria, at the early age of eleven he was took as a slave and carried to North America where he was sold firstly to a captain of the royal navy who named him as Gustavus Vassa as an insult to the Swedish king of that time.
The captain´s name was Michael Pascal and at first Equiano refused to use the name because he had been already renamed twice before during his travel in the ship, he prefer to be named Jacob, the second name they have put him, but after many tortures, acordding to him he ended up submitting to the new name. After spending a long time with Pascal in which he converted to the christianism among other things he was sold to another captain who took him to the Caribbean where he was purchased by Robert King an american quaker.
Robert set Equiano to work on his shipping routes and his stores and taught him to write and read. In 1765, when he was 20 years old King promised that for 40 pounds, Equiano´s purchase price, he could buy his freedom, action that was achieved on 1766. After that King urged him to stay as his bussines partner but Olaudah found it dangerous to stay in the british colonies specially after an intempt of kidnapping on Georgia. He travelled to England where he joined the abolitionist movement that encourage him to write and publish a memoir book named <em>"The interesting narrative of the life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the Afircan"</em> in 1789.
It was an important historical source because it represented one of the first writings on western narration made by an african author. It was the first time that someone wirtes about slavery from the point of view of the slave itself. He caused surprise between the readers because of its quality of imagery, description and literaly style, he made comparissons with the bible showing his knowledge on christian religion. The publication became a best seller almost inmediatly ( 3 years after it was publish) and fuelled a growing anti-slavery movement in Great Britain, Europe and North America.
I hope this answer would help you, I put a briefly biography of Olaudah to set the context
capitalism is an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private company's or owners for their gain instead of the state.
I hope this helps you.
