Africa is dominated by the Black Race but the the biggest Lake is not named by somebody black, it is named after a White Lady!!!!!! The primary technological advantage the Europeans had over the Africans was weapons. The Europeans had machine guns that could easily wipe out the Africans. The Europeans easily controlled over Africa because they were much stronger and much smarter than the African people. They were much advance than the African people. From the movie "Mountains of the Moon" the African people didn't even know what a gun was, they didnt even know to pour Tea. These are why the Europeans could easily control the Africans

Nationalism is ideology, a sentiment, a form of culture or a social movement that focuses on the nation. Nationalism is also people fighting for their country or dieing in the name of their country. There are many examples of Nationalism in World History such as the Austrian-Hungarian empire which was once a massive country now made up of several countries such as Romania, Poland, Serbia, Italy, Czech Republic, Croatia etc. The people of these countries thought they speak Romanian and we speak Czech then why are we 1 big country? This gave them the thought to fight for their country and gain independence and become just 1 country instead of a massive country made up of many countries such as the Austrian-Hungarian empire. Another example of Nationalism is Italy when it was made up of many states instead of just 1 big Country. The people of Italy thought that we have the same Language, Religion and basically the same culture then why are we not just 1 country. This thought gave them to fight for Independence from other countries and form 1 large country known as Italy.

Creationism vs Evolution

2009-09-15T14:26:00.000-07:00

I agree with Creationism that Adam and Eve were the 1rst Humans on Earth.I do not agree with Evolution because monkeys did not evolve into humans. All the humans are descendants of Adam and Eve.Charles Darwin's theory is incorrect because if humans evolved from monkeys they would still be evolving today,they aren't which means thay never did evolve into humans.

Another reason why Creationism is true is because something had to come from something else.God created the Heavens the Hells and the Earth.Evolution is also fake because there is no explanation of what started the universe and how life originated.Those are my reasons why I agree with Creationism and that Adam and Eve were the 1rst Human Beings on Earth.
