Middle Eastern States

In Iraq, there are a lot of refugees leaving to Jordan and Syria. there are struggels going on between territories in the Middle East. Oil has been a big problem in the middle east. Before the discovery of oil, the region had been a hotbed for religious conflict, and wars over other rich resources and arable land. Iraq started war with Iran in the 1980's which dragged through to 1991. Relations with neighboring Kuwait deteriorated and eventually led to an invasion by Iraq in August 1991. To solve these problems in Iraq, the United States are trying to help.

Russian Tsars

The Russian Clergy of the 1800's and 1900's, their lives were like living in the middle class. They were forbidden some things and allowed to do others. Examples being they were not allowed to eat meat or drink alcohol. They performed religious services. They were divided into two groups of the monks. Some wore white robes and the others wore dark robes. Monk's sons would have to get their degree. They also had to wear beards and long hair if you were a village priest. At times it was hard to live as a priest because they lived in little wooden huts with their families like the peasants did. They were paid a low salary also.

Imperialism

The basic goal of Imperialism was for the Europeans to take control of the Africans and their countries in the 1800's to make money and control more parts of more continents. A major nation that was adopted in this Imperialism age was West Africa which was overcome by the French and Libya which was taken over by the Italians. The effect Imperialism had on other nations was how it changed many lives and made the countries into what they are today. A major effect imperialism had would be the Boer War between the South Africans and the Dutch, Germans and other European nations. Three motives of the imperialism stage are the political motive which was about a nation's desire to gain power, expand territory and compete with other nations. The second one is the religious motive, this one was about a desire to spread Christianity, to protect European missionaries in other lands and end slave trade along with the spread of morals and cutural beliefs. A third motive is the economic motive. That one was about the desire to make and control money and expand and control foreign trade.
