Reflection
In this unit I learned that Canada was colonized Canada and how the Europeans forced the first nations that lived in Canada into Residential schools to become more "civilize".

I found it really interesting that Haiti was colonized by two countries France and Spain

I can connect what have learned in class to Science biome Biomes deals with ecosystems of animals, also the land scape , this relates to imperialism and the land they discovered has different ecosystems.

What surprised me this unit was how the Europeans though they were superior to the First nations just because of there culture .

One concept that I am still having difficulty with is Residential schools because i don't really understand why the government took over the residential schools

One skill or learning strategy I found use full was the history of imperialism, learning the impact it had on society and how it has shaped us now.

Soaps is a good way to summarize a paragraph.

 Early economic globalization

Mercantilism is where European monarchs (King, and Queen) increase there wealth through international trade.

Capitalism relates to mercantilism because Capitalism caused mercantilism(private businesses) because the workers that the monarchs sent over noticed all the money they were getting so they though if they made there own they will get the money as well this caused capitalism.

Industrialization was caused by capitalism, which effected the economy in many ways some bad, some good

imperialism is when one country bigger takes over a smaller one. taking there resources, land

Impacts of imperialism

The source shows us the "white man's burden" was written by a poet, partly because of imperialism where many big nations where rushing to Africa "Scramble for Africa" the nations colonized the Africans. since they though they were Superior they were motivated to "help" them become more civilized.

Legacy of imperialism in Canada

Aboriginal people have been affected by Imperialism.Experiencing many hardships from the past, and scares that have not been mended.For example 60,000 aboriginals were separated from there family and forced into these residential schools, were they were punished for rebelling, and speaking there mothers tongue.this shows that Europeans didn't care about the feelings of the Aboriginal people. This also shows that the Europeans though the Aboriginal people where inferior to themselves.Another example is that out of the year aboriginal people weren't given love from the family, for 10 months. This shows that Aboriginal children weren't happy in this residential schools. This also show how the Europeans though they were better then them and that they had to rely on violence to get them to change there ways.Therefore many Aboriginal people were scarred, from these residential schools, and almost lost the religion.
