After World War I, Germany was forced to give up Rwanda in the Treaty of Versailles. Belgium became the new owners of Rwanda. The Belgians found Rwanda's political system at the time to be confusing, so they completely reformed it to better fit Belgium's political systems and understandings. The Belgians removed many chiefs from power and got rid of Hutu lords. The Belgians believed that the Tutsi were racially superior to the Hutu and thus granted them the political positions in the colony.
For example, the reasoning behind each genocide. The Germans used the Jews as a scapegoat and blamed them for Germanies failer and poverty. While the Hutu had ethnic and past tension with the Tutsi. This was because the Tutsi people were favored when the BElgians were ruling(The Rwanda Genocide). Another difference was the location.
M.L Bush said that ‘It was interconnected regional rebellions rather than one fluid movement’ because once the rebels had gone back to where they lived dotted across the North of England they would all have to meet up rather than go down to London in one group. Also the rebels outnumbered the King’s army 4:1 when they were confronted at the River Don. Instead of accepting the King’s pardon they should have risked battle once they dispersed they were no longer a threat to Henry. They were the stronger force but they tried to negotiate before they had achieved anything. This is another point towards poor leadership because there was no clear plan in how they were going to get their terms accepted only what terms they wanted.
With the lack of soldiers, it would be easier to invade Rome, which could’ve led to the decline of the Empire. This proves that internal decay was one of the major causes for the end of Rome. Document 6 shows the invasions of Barbarians in 476 on the Roman Empire. This demonstrates that the government and military were becoming weaker to the point where they weren’t strong enough to protect the empire from invasions. The government could not control all these invasions, so this was another component that helped the fall of the Roman Empire.
Source A is about removing opposition and the use of propaganda to control what the population thought and did this is challenging the question as the consent is not given but actually forced out of the none Arian people of Germany. The source suggests that the Nazis removed the peoples basic rights like freedom of speech because they feared that the people would speak out against the laws that had been created to keep them under control. This is a strong argument against the Germans giving support towards the regime because it suggests that the Germans. Source A also suggests that after the war Germany still wasn’t ready politically so Hitler had an easy task in taking power the
Belgian colonial leaders and the Catholic Church deepened the racial divide between the majority Hutu populated country of Rwanda, by awarding Tutsi ethnic group better job and education opportunities. The reason why the Belgians favored the Tutsis was because of their European look and thus judge Tutsi more superior than the Hutu. The Tutsi, the minority race in Rwanda took advantage of the Belgium favor and put themselves in position to deny Hutus access to education, land ownership and government representation to maintain control of the country for the next forty years. However, according to the website “United Human Rights Council”, soon after Rwanda’s independence from Belgium in the 1960s, the Hutu majority seized power from the Tutsi minority and unleashed forty years of resentment on the Tutsis. This event caused thousands of Tutsis to migrate to Uganda because of rise of Hutu violence against Tutsi.
Although, during Hitler’s region was far worse because not just the Jews but many other non-Jews were killed. Either resistance, crimes, or were deemed inferior to Hitler’s standards were dealt with. Both the Germans and the Turks believed that the national minorities were a threat to empires of a dominant ethnic group. Even though, if the Armenian Genocide did not inspired Hitler’s tactics but the facts are there the these events did happened and had the same goals and objectives in terms of making a nation stronger or have vision of a better society and be drunk with
Globalization is related to connectedness and how connected places are to another. For instance if geographers didn’t study globalization, we wouldn’t understand how or why two countries are connected to each other. You could see this concept in the movie “Hotel Rwanda”. When all the “whites” and the people who didn’t live in Rwanda were being transported out of the country, this left all the Tutsis and Hutus to fend for themselves. If Rwanda was more connected and important to the United States, then they would have sent more soldiers to help defend the refugees.
The British public, army and the government themselves were not expecting such a strong resistance by the Boer tribes. This made the public question the current government. It seemed to them that the government had allowed the British army to become weak and send them into battle without preparation and also without them being healthy enough to fight, this began to give the Tories a bad name. Also the Boer war may have been a reason and incentive for Chamberlain, the sectary of state for the colonies, tariff reform campaign, which had a huge part to play in the Unionist split.
The Indians’ New World By: James H. Merrell The Indians’ New World, by James Merrell, is an article that was meant to describe how the lives of the Native Americans were greatly impacted when European settlers invaded their land. This article shows how the natives were excluded from the New World because, unlike the settlers and slaves brought to the New World, they had already been there. The natives were experiencing most of what the new settlers and slavers were, they were forces to adapt to the changes in the New World because it was slowly becoming less familiar to them with all the changes the Europeans made. The Indians’ New World shows that, although the natives had already lived in America for quite some time, the world they were living in once the Europeans arrived was not just as new to them as it was to the settlers but it was also more harmful for their ways of life. One of the main ideas of this article was to open the read’s eyes to how many hardships the natives had to face starting with the rapid destruction of their population.
