Class on Friday

During class on Friday we took another test on the world leaders.  On this test, before we started Mr. Schick told us that we could use our blogs to help us on the tests.  The ability to use our blogs on the test was a huge help.  The first part of the test was just like the last test we took.  We had to match the country and the leader of that country.  The second part of the test was about us matching the leader and events that happened in their years before they became president or prime minister.  After the test we started talking about colonialism and imperialism.  Colonialism is the most developed form of imperialism. Colonialism is when the controlling states invade other states to exploit resources and for large scale immigration.  Imperialism is the process through which a state attempts to control the economic, political, and/or cultural make up of another state.  These things can be good or bad, it just depends on how they happen.
