This document provides context on international engagement with Africa from 1914 to 2014. It discusses how Africa has long been viewed through paradigms by outsiders seeking to help or exploit the continent. In the early 20th century, European colonial powers consolidated control of Africa and established economies extracting resources. After World War 1, former German colonies in Africa became League of Nations mandates administered by Britain and France who aimed to develop the territories, though still controlled them. International perspectives on and involvement with Africa have shown much continuity over the past century while African societies and states also transformed internally.
Women's roles changed dramatically during World War II as many took jobs in factories while the men were away fighting. Before the war, women were expected to stay home and care for the family, but labor shortages due to the draft led the government to encourage women to enter the workforce. As millions of women took jobs building planes, ships, and other war materials, they proved they were capable of "men's work" and helped win the war through their efforts on the home front. Their contributions helped inspire future feminist movements by expanding women's opportunities outside the home.
During WWII, the United States home front mobilized to support the war effort through rationing, increased industrial production, and more women working. The government instituted rationing of goods like food and gas to ensure supplies reached troops. Women joined the workforce in large numbers, taking jobs in factories producing war materials. Production skyrocketed as government spending on defense increased to 41% of GDP. Through shared sacrifice and a mobilized home front, the United States was able to overcome the Great Depression and support its military overseas to help win WWII.
The document provides information on various topics covered in the Spring 2017 issue of Global Eyes Magazine, including a profile of a Nigerian baker in Winnipeg, Black History Month events, and new Nigerian immigration regulations aimed at consolidating existing rules and facilitating business. It also announces volunteer opportunities with Folklorama, and previews films featured at the Manitoba Association for Rights and Liberties film festival focusing on indigenous and human rights issues. A range of community news, events, and stories are advertised throughout the issue.
Though the United States claims not to be an empire, it has acted in imperialist ways since World War 2 by enforcing its power and priorities globally. After the war, America's economic might surpassed even Britain's height. While not taking direct control of territories, the US used its influence to open foreign markets and shape the global order. This unilateral approach under Reagan led to debates around an "American empire" and accusations the US exempted itself from international rules, though it denied being an empire and saw itself as promoting stability. Some embraced the idea of an American empire to spread democracy and human rights.
The document summarizes key events and developments in the United States between 1920-1939, including:
1) After World War I, Americans embraced isolationism and elected Republican presidents Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge who promised a "return to normalcy." However, both administrations were plagued by scandals.
2) The 1920s saw widespread economic prosperity and consumerism fueled by new technologies, easy credit, and mass marketing through growing advertising industries.
3) The stock market crash of 1929 marked the beginning of the Great Depression, and Republican Herbert Hoover lost the 1932 election to Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt, who implemented his New Deal programs.
This document discusses the causes of the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. It examines both general long-term causes like religious beliefs over land claims and short-term causes like the outcome of the 1967 Six-Day War. Key long-term causes included the Jewish belief in their right to Israel as their homeland, Arab opposition to a Jewish state being imposed in their region, and the failure of regional leaders and international powers to broker a lasting peace agreement. Short-term causes included Egypt and Syria's desire for revenge after their humiliating defeat in 1967, Israel's failure to appreciate how the balance of power had shifted, and ongoing border tensions between the wars. The document provides historical context on the religious and political roots of the conflict dating back
The document discusses flags that were used during slave uprisings and rebellions in various locations from the 17th-19th centuries. It describes flags used during the Stono Rebellion in South Carolina in 1739, by the Boni Maroons in Suriname in the 1770s, and during the Haitian Revolution from 1791-1803, including flags with slogans calling for death to whites or liberty or death. It also mentions a flag used during a rebellion led by Julien Fédon in Grenada in 1795 seeking freedom inspired by the French emancipation decree.
The document provides highlights and key points from three volumes of "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews". It summarizes that the books document extensive Jewish involvement in the trans-Atlantic slave trade as merchants, financiers, shippers, and insurers. After the Civil War, the second volume examines how Jewish politicians, businessmen, press, clergy, and labor unions participated in enforcing racist Jim Crow laws and exploiting Black economic opportunities in the post-slavery South, becoming extremely wealthy in the process. The third volume further reveals the history of the Black-Jewish relationship through additional documentation of Jews selling Blacks into slavery.

The Society of Seven: Last of the Great Show BandsRichard Kelley
An exciting new book titled "The Society of Seven: Last of the Great Show Bands" by Frances Kirk will soon be in bookstores and shops. It tells a fascinating story of how a group of young men from Asia were able to follow their dreams and become an enduring success in show business. Starting with an appearance of the Ed Sullivan Show, they played in the show rooms and clubs in Las Vegas and Reno and headlined the Main Showroom at the Outrigger Waikiki Hotel for more than 30 years.
My article is full of personal memories as I traveled with the "SOS" to promote Hawaii's visitor industry and count they all as personal friends. I hope you enjoy this look into a fascinating era and the personalities who were such a powerful force in the entertainment industry!
These two cities were founded in very different contexts but developed similarities in their urban planning and how their populations were established. Karaganda in Kazakhstan was founded as a prison town under authoritarian rule while lacking freedom for its people. Billings, Montana was founded by entrepreneurs and pioneers seeking opportunity and freedom. However, both cities came to utilize grid designs and recruit migrant laborers to support agriculture. Their differing founding principles are contrasted by their subsequent parallel development.
Impact of WWI on African Americans & WomenDiana Fordham
This document summarizes how World War I transformed the roles of women and African Americans in the United States. It discusses the Great Migration of over 500,000 African Americans from the rural South to industrial northern cities to work in war industries. While African American soldiers served in segregated units and faced discrimination, their participation in the war increased racial tensions. The war also opened new opportunities for women as they took on traditionally male roles in factories, mines, and as military nurses. However, racial tensions remained high, as evidenced by the deadly 1919 Chicago Race Riot.
WHAT HAPPENED TO BLACK WALL STREET - Understanding HOW The Ku Klux Klan CARRY...VogelDenise
Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma was one of the most affluent and prosperous African American communities in the US in the early 1900s. On June 1, 1921, the community was attacked and burned to the ground by a white mob during the Tulsa Race Riot. Over 800 people were hospitalized, an estimated 10,000 were left homeless, and 35 city blocks containing over 1,200 African American residences and businesses were destroyed by fire and bombs dropped from airplanes. The riot left between 1,500-3,000 African Americans dead and resulted in over $1.5 million in property damage with insured losses totaling over $750,000. To this day, no compensation has been provided to
1) In 1917, over 2 million Black men registered for the military draft after the U.S. entered WWI. However, they faced discrimination and were often used as laborers rather than soldiers.
2) Black leader W.E.B. Du Bois urged Black Americans to support the war effort in the hopes it would lead to greater racial equality after the war.
3) When Black soldiers returned from war, they hoped their military service would end discrimination like Jim Crow laws. However, little changed and racism persisted.

The document summarizes the history of "Black Wall Street", a once thriving African American community in Tulsa, Oklahoma that was destroyed in the 1921 Tulsa race riot. It describes how Black Wall Street had over 600 black-owned businesses and was a model of black prosperity, before being burned to the ground by white mobs in a period of less than 12 hours. Over 800 people were injured, 10,000 left homeless, and 35 city blocks containing over 1,000 residences and businesses were destroyed by fire and bombing from airplanes. The riot left 3,000 African Americans dead and destroyed one of the most affluent black communities in America at the time.
The African Burial Ground and the History of Slavery in New York CityBob Mayer
At one point, New York City was second only to Charleston in the number of slaves. When Wall Street was actually a defensive wall, half-freed blacks formed a community north of it, outside the wall. They were denied, by law, from burying in the city so had their own burial ground. What happened to it?
This documentary examines the life and influential slave autobiography of Olaudah Equiano. It uses dramatic reconstruction, archival footage, and interviews to provide historical context about Equiano's kidnapping into slavery in 1756 in West Africa, the horrors of the Middle Passage he endured, and his time as a slave in Virginia where he witnessed torture of other slaves. Equiano's narrative was the first influential slave autobiography and helped fuel the growing abolitionist movement when published in 1789. The documentary explores how Equiano's account vividly depicted the brutalizing effects of slavery on all parties involved.
This document provides historical context on the relationship between Libya and the United States from the overthrow of King Idris in 1969 by Muammar Gaddafi through Gaddafi's rule. It outlines how Gaddafi nationalized Libya's oil industry and pursued an aggressively anti-Western and anti-Israel foreign policy, deteriorating relations with the US. Notable flashpoints in the adversarial US-Libya relationship included the Gulf of Sidra incidents, US bombing of Libya in 1986, and Libya's involvement in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.
The document provides definitions and information about key terms, events, groups and locations relevant to the history of the Middle East region, including:

This article compares the revolutions in Iran and Cuba and their subsequent regimes. It discusses how both countries experienced Western imperialism and authoritarian rule prior to their revolutions. The revolutions in the 1950s and 1970s overthrew the pro-Western Shah in Iran and Batista in Cuba, but the revolutions were then hijacked by extremists - Khomeini established an Islamic theocracy in Iran and Castro established a communist dictatorship in Cuba. Both regimes have since suppressed opposition and exported their ideologies abroad through military support. The diasporas of both countries in the US have opposed engagement with the regimes. Overall, the article analyzes the common experiences and trajectories of the two countries to provide insights into reactionary and authoritarian
The document discusses the concepts of post-colonialism, imperialism, and colonialism. It provides context on the British Empire, which at its height in the early 20th century encompassed over 20% of the world's population and land area. It discusses how imperialism involved the conquest and rule over less developed countries, and the slave trade that forcibly shipped millions of Africans to the Americas. The effects of colonialism included the erosion of local cultures and imposition of colonial identities and worldviews. Key concepts discussed include diaspora, the "white man's burden" justification of colonialism, and W.E.B. Du Bois' idea of "double consciousness" for subordinated groups.
This document provides a summary of the Great Migration that occurred between 1900-1970, when around 6 million African Americans left the rural South and moved to major cities in the North like Chicago, New York, Detroit, and Cleveland. It was sparked by the desire to escape racism and Jim Crow laws and seek better jobs and opportunities. The Chicago Defender newspaper encouraged this migration by portraying the North as a "Promised Land." Many talented artists and writers also moved North during this time and contributed to the Harlem Renaissance. The migration slowed during the Depression but increased again during World War II due to more factory jobs.
African-American soldiers faced discrimination but played an important role in World War I. Over 350,000 served, though in segregated units performing support roles. Some units fought alongside the French and over 170 African Americans received the French Legion of Honor. In response to protests over treatment, hundreds of African American men received officers' training. By late 1917, over 600 had become commissioned officers. However, President Woodrow Wilson supported segregation and the film The Birth of a Nation. Racial tensions remained high during the war years.
Between the 1920s and 1980s, many regions in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East gained independence from European imperial dominance through various processes. Decolonization occurred as Europeans withdrew from colonies, revolutions overthrew European rule, and non-violent independence movements succeeded. Factors like education, information, nationalism, and wars weakened European superiority and questioned colonialism, leading to new independent nation-states. However, problems from economic dependency to internal conflicts remained in some of the newly independent countries.
1. The document discusses the growth of abolitionist sentiment in the United States in response to the increasing entrenchment of slavery. It outlines the rise of more radical abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison who called for the immediate end of slavery without compensation to owners.
2. It focuses on the contributions of important African American abolitionists like David Walker, Frederick Douglass, and Sojourner Truth. David Walker published an influential text in 1829 calling for the end of slavery. Frederick Douglass escaped slavery and became a famous orator and publisher.

The document discusses the "Scramble for Africa" period from 1870-1900 where European powers rapidly colonized the African continent. It explains that initially Europeans had only established coastal colonies and influence in Western Africa for the slave trade. However, over a brief 30 year period, European control of Africa expanded from 10% to 90% of the land mass. Major European powers like France, Britain, Belgium, and Portugal partitioned Africa among themselves through conferences like the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885, with no African representation or consideration of internal African borders and groups.

African Americans And An Atlantic World Culture. (2005)Sophia Diaz
This document provides an overview of the field of Atlantic World history and its relationship to African diaspora studies. It discusses how the emergence of the Atlantic World beginning in the 15th century set in motion large-scale migrations of Africans through the transatlantic slave trade. It also notes that while the Atlantic World and African diaspora concepts have different geographical scopes, both approaches now recognize Africans as active agents rather than just victims of historical forces. The document uses several sources to illustrate how perspectives on Africans' roles have changed from earlier Eurocentric works to current scholarship that emphasizes Africans' agency within the Atlantic World.
The document discusses reasons why European countries colonized other parts of the world in the late 19th century. The six main reasons given are: 1) National security and economic interests, 2) Strategic advantage over other European powers, 3) Nationalism and pride, 4) Social Darwinism and racism, 5) Missionary and civilizing impulses, 6) Access to raw materials and new markets for industrial economies. The colonization disrupted traditional cultures and economies but also brought Western education and technology to some colonized peoples.
Diplomat among warriors-robert_murphy-1964-497pgs-polRareBooksnRecords
This chapter provides background on the author's upbringing in Milwaukee and describes how he came to work for the US government in Washington DC in 1916 despite having little formal education.
