Chp. 22 pg.675-689

Their was a war between the United States and the Soviet Union. The war was called the Coldwar and occured after world war two. Communism grew big and spread across the world. In the 20th century Communism collapsed. It collapsed because the leaders lost interest. The wierd part to me was how their was no fighting in the cold war. Both places had atomic bombs to use on each other.

Section 5 and section 6

I don't even think I would be able to survive working all those hours. Spraying those dangerous chemicals and working in the hot sun is hell. The sad part about it is everyone wanted to work to survive so their was huge competition. You had to work hard and wasn't even allowed to get sick because someone could easily take your spot. Gosh what a cold world, I feel sorry for those people.

Chapter 22 pg.659-674

The first part of the chapter talks about rise of communism and the feminist movement. Women started working and getting better education. Women just began independence. The picture on page 669 caught my attention because two women are learning how to drive  a tractor on the farm. The chapter also talked about China passing the marriage law in 1950. People were able to easily divorce and had free choice in marriage. I actually enjoyed this reading!

Chapter 21 talks about alot of things. The problems Europe faced, World War 1, and World War 2. Women had more rights and also did work. In 1929 the Great Depression hurt many people.

Chp. 20 pg 607-614

The African culture needed hope so they practiced Christianity. Education and Religion began to rise in the colonial era at the same time. Religion was apart of the education. Nothing else really caught my attention

Chp.20 pg.589-606

During the Colonial Encounters violence was a big deal. Many individuals cooperated with authorities. The colonial rules interferred with the way people worked. The colonial state had power to tax people and to bulid railroads. The image on pg. 600 was very disturbing to me. The two young man both got their hand cut off. In Africa people lost their farms and migrated to European farms.
