The Mau Mau Rebellion in Kenya in the 1950s was caused by economic deprivation of the Kikuyu people, the banning of political organizations that advocated for Kikuyu rights like the Kikuyu Central Association, and lack of political representation of Africans in the legislative council which was dominated by white settlers and South Asians. The rebellion resulted in mass arrests of over 8,000 Kikuyu including leader Jomo Kenyatta in the first 25 days, and high casualties with British sources claiming 11,000 Kenyans were killed while scholars estimate the death toll to be between 20,000 to 100,000 including over 1,000 public hangings. The rebellion also involved atrocities committed by

Cold war
The Cold War was an ideological clash between capitalism and communism that began after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. The Soviet Union sought to spread communism globally while the United States wanted to contain it. This ideological division between the communist Eastern Bloc and capitalist Western Bloc defined global politics from the mid-20th century until the decline of communism in Eastern Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Cold war
The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the United States and Soviet Union from 1947-1991. It involved ideological and military competition between capitalism and communism. Key events that heightened tensions included the Berlin Blockade, establishment of NATO and the Warsaw Pact, the Korean War, Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam War, and Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The space race and arms race further demonstrated the technological and military supremacy between the two superpowers. Growing economic troubles in the Soviet Union and diplomatic negotiations between Reagan and Gorbachev contributed to the decline of communist rule and end of the Cold War.
The War in Iraq
1) The document provides a timeline of key events in the War in Iraq from 2003 to 2007, including the toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime, his capture and execution, and the establishment of a new Iraqi government.
2) It discusses the reasons given by President Bush for declaring war on Iraq, including Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction and desire to instill democracy. However, others believe the true reason was to maintain control over Iraqi oil.
3) The consequences of the war have been high death tolls estimated at 655,000, economic hardship in Iraq with unemployment as high as 60%, and the destruction of Iraqi culture and infrastructure.
The cold war
The Cold War began in 1945 after World War 2 between the United States and its allies, and the Soviet Union and its allies. This led to the formation of opposing military alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact and tensions including arms races and proxy wars. It also resulted in Soviet espionage efforts in the West through spies like the Cambridge Five who betrayed secrets to Moscow. The Cold War lasted over 45 years until the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s.
War in Afghanistan
Al-Qaeda was formed in the late 1980s in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. It was led by Osama bin Laden and aimed to attack US interests. After 9/11, the US invaded Afghanistan to remove al-Qaeda and the Taliban regime harboring them. While the Taliban was removed from power, al-Qaeda and insurgent groups remain active as the US struggles to establish a stable democratic government in Afghanistan amid ongoing issues like a resilient Taliban, drug trafficking, and a difficult mountainous terrain.

Lasting World Peace
The United Nations was created in 1945 to replace the failed League of Nations and work to prevent world wars. It aims to maintain international peace and security through efforts like peacekeeping operations. The UN has had some successes in ending conflicts but has also faced challenges and failures that have provided important lessons. Key factors for successful peacekeeping include support from member states and parties to conflicts, as well as upholding principles of consent, impartiality and only using force for defense.
Cold war
The origins of the Cold War began in 1945 due to differences in ideology between the Soviet Union and Western allies like the US and UK. The Soviets established communist control over Eastern Europe, while the West allied under NATO. Germany was divided, and tensions increased as both sides sought to prevent the other from gaining more global influence through espionage, the arms race, and competing economic systems. This division was symbolized by the Berlin Wall, erected in 1961 to stop East Berliners from fleeing to the West. Reforms under Gorbachev in the 1980s weakened Soviet control until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, leading to German reunification and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, ending the Cold War.
World War 2
World War II was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved most nations of the world forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. The war began with Germany's invasion of Poland and ended with the surrender of Nazi Germany and Japan after the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Over 70 million people were killed during the war, making it the deadliest conflict in human history. Key turning points included Germany's defeat on the Eastern Front by the Soviet Union and the Allied invasion of Normandy leading to the collapse of the Axis powers.
Cold war
The Cold War was a state of political and economic tension between the United States and the Soviet Union where both sides wanted to prevail over the other. It involved opposing economic systems like capitalism, where private individuals own capital goods, and communism, where the means of production are owned collectively. The Marshall Plan was an American program that allocated over $12 billion for the reconstruction of Europe after World War II. Ultimately, the Cold War had a winner, the USA, and a loser, the USSR.

America's War on Terror: Causes & Consequences
Though the worst intelligence failure, the USA took maximum advantage of the 9/11 tragedy and embarked on the mission to accomplish the objectives set forth in the infamous neo-con paper, known as the American Century.
America employed all its -military, diplomatic and financial, to wage a war of terror on several countries besides Afghanistan-its starting point.
Whether it was a stellar success or a dismal failure, it has cost the world massively in terms of loss of human lives, financial losses, refugees crises, missed opportunities, and surprisingly, increased global terrorism
This presentation covers all these issues in greater detail
The holocaust
1) The Holocaust was the systematic persecution and murder of approximately 11 million people by the Nazi regime and its allies. Over half of the victims were Jews.
2) Beginning in 1933, the Nazis passed laws stripping Jews of their rights and persecuting them. This escalated throughout the 1930s with violence and ghettos.
3) In 1941-1945, the Nazis and their collaborators murdered around 6 million Jews across German-occupied Europe in concentration camps using poison gas and other methods in Hitler's "Final Solution."
Weapons Of Wwii
The document discusses several German-made firearms including a pistol adopted by the Swiss Army in 1900, a carbine that could be used as a rifle or sniper rifle with a telescope, an MG42 machine gun that could fire 1,200 rounds per minute, a rocket launcher used against American armor, and a P08 pistol replacement that was easy to use.
9/11 Afghanistan War
The document provides background information on the war in Afghanistan including:
- A brief history of the Soviet war in Afghanistan from 1979-1989 and the subsequent civil wars.
- Details on the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers in 2001 that prompted US intervention in Afghanistan to dismantle Al-Qaeda.
- An overview of the key actors involved in the Afghanistan war such as the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, NATO forces, and the governments of the US, UK, and Pakistan.
- Statistics on US spending (over $100 billion annually since 2009) and the duration of the war (over 14 years since 2001).

North africa campaign
This document summarizes the North Africa Campaign of World War II. It explains that both Allied and Axis powers had colonial interests in Africa, leading Germany to send reinforcements under Erwin Rommel to support Italy against the British. Rommel was initially successful pushing the Allies back, but lacked supplies. At the Second Battle of El Alamein in 1942, the Allies held the line and defeated Rommel, marking the first Allied victory over German forces in World War II.
PowerPoint presentation about the Cold War.
The Cold War began after World War 2 and was a decades-long conflict between the United States and its allies against the Soviet Union and its allies. Though they never directly fought each other, tensions escalated over issues like the division of Germany and Berlin, nuclear weapons development, and proxy wars. By the late 1980s, the Soviet Union's economy had stagnated while American influence grew globally, contributing to reforms under Gorbachev and the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, bringing an end to the Cold War.
North Africa Campaign
The document summarizes the North African campaign of World War 2 between the Allied and Axis forces from 1940 to 1943. It describes the key battles as the forces pushed back and forth across Libya and Egypt, culminating in the Allied victory at the Second Battle of El Alamein in late 1942. This turned the tide and allowed the Allies to take the offensive, invading Tunisia and forcing the surrender of Axis troops in North Africa in May 1943.
New World Order
The document discusses several concepts related to a hypothesized "New World Order" including mind control, UFO phenomena, and the real goals and forces behind the New World Order such as Freemasons, Zionists, and Illuminati seeking to establish a secular, materialistic global order and weaken religion. It questions how successful these groups have been in implementing their agenda.
Lesson 1 the vietnam war background
The document provides a summary of the key events of the Vietnam War. It began as a civil war between the communist North Vietnam led by Ho Chi Minh and the non-communist South Vietnam led by Ngo Dinh Diem. However, the conflict was rooted in Vietnam's history as a French colony. After World War 2, Vietnam was temporarily divided along the 17th parallel, with elections promised to reunify the country by 1956. However, the US opposed Ho Chi Minh and backed Diem, escalating their involvement over time and widening the war until a peace agreement in 1973 after significant US troop losses and protests at home. The North then reunified Vietnam under communist rule.
Politics of Egypt
The document summarizes the political situation in Egypt following the 2011 revolution. It describes Egypt's transition to a semi-presidential system and notes key events like the 2012 election of Mohamed Morsi and 2013 coup that removed him. It provides background on interim leaders Adly Mansour and Ibrahim Mahlab, as well as influential political parties like the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party and the ultraconservative Al-Nour Party.
World war 3
This document discusses the theory of a secret society called the Illuminati and their alleged plan to manipulate global events in order to establish a New World Order. It references a letter from 1871 from Albert Pike outlining three world wars that would be necessary to bring this about. The first war would overthrow Russia's monarchy and establish communism. The second would destroy Nazism and establish Israel. The third would involve a conflict between Zionism and the Islamic world that would exhaust both sides. The document argues these wars have played out largely as predicted. It also discusses whether the Illuminati still influence global politics and events today through groups like the Bilderberg Group.

US vs Iran Conflicts
This document discusses tensions between the United States and Iran over Iran's nuclear program and other issues. It provides background on both countries and outlines key areas of conflict, including Iran's nuclear activities, US sanctions, drone incidents, the Strait of Hormuz, and Hezbollah bombings. The document also compares the approaches of the Obama and Trump administrations toward Iran and notes risks of potential conflict due to Trump's impulsive decision-making style.
Gabriel’s Rebellion Presentation by Cary McEntee
Gabriel, a slave born in Virginia, planned a large slave rebellion to begin in Richmond in 1800. Gabriel recruited over 200 slaves from multiple plantations and counties promising freedom. However, heavy rains caused the rebellion to be postponed, and two slaves informed their masters of the plan. Governor Monroe was alerted and the militia arrested and interrogated the conspirators. Gabriel evaded capture for weeks but was eventually betrayed and hanged, along with 25 other slaves. The failed rebellion increased restrictions on slaves and free blacks in Virginia.
Kikuyu
The Kikuyu tribe lives in houses called shambas made from wooden poles, palm leaves, and grass. They practice subsistence farming, growing vegetables and tropical fruits in their shamba gardens under banana trees for their families. While the Kikuyu engage in subsistence farming, they also grow commercial crops like tea and coffee on nearby slopes and the women supplement their income by making and selling handicrafts.

The Kikuyu are the largest ethnic group in Kenya, originally settling around Mount Kenya. While their exact origins in West Africa are uncertain, some migrated into the Mount Kenya area from northern settlements, while others came from further north. Kikuyu culture includes speaking the Gikuyu language, engaging in music and dance, and enjoying traditional foods like mukimo and irio. Historically, the Kikuyu followed indigenous faiths and believed in the god Ngai, performing sacrifices under sycamore trees. However, most Kikuyu have since converted to Christianity.

Decolonization Overview
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.

Decolonization in india_and_africa
Decolonization after World War 2 led to independence for many nations in India and Africa from European imperial rule. India gained independence from Britain in 1947 after decades of non-violent protests led by Gandhi. Partition created India and Pakistan, and over 1 million died in ensuing violence. Ghana was the first sub-Saharan African country to gain independence in 1957 under Kwame Nkrumah. South Africa gained independence in 1931 but continued apartheid racial segregation policies until the end of the apartheid system in 1994 after international pressure and Nelson Mandela becoming the first black president. Decolonization was often violent and unstable, as seen by civil wars in Nigeria and Congo and genocides in Rwanda and Sudan.
Decolonization in africa
The document discusses decolonization in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East from the 1920s to 1980s. Many regions freed themselves from European dominance after World War II weakened the colonial powers. Decolonization occurred earlier in Asia, with India gaining independence which became a model for other countries. While independence was achieved, newly independent nations still faced economic dependency and challenges from tribal, racial, and religious differences.
Decolonization
The document discusses decolonization and the development of the post-colonial world following World War II. It provides details on independence movements and patterns of decolonization across several regions, including:
- India gained independence in 1947 but was partitioned, leading to conflict. Other former British colonies in Africa and the Middle East also gained independence in the post-war period.
- Independence movements in Ghana, Algeria, South Africa, and Kenya involved both violent and non-violent resistance to colonial rule and drew upon nationalist sentiments. Decolonization resulted in new political and economic challenges for newly independent nations.
- The Middle East experienced tensions from the creation of Israel and Arab-Israeli conflicts, as well as
Decolonization africa, asia, the middle east
Between the 1920s and 1980s, many regions in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East gained independence from European colonial rule through various means such as revolution, non-violent protest movements, and withdrawal. Decolonization led to the creation of many new nation-states but also left ongoing problems including economic dependency on former colonial powers, wealth inequality, and conflicts along tribal, racial, or religious lines.
Decolonisation
Decolonization refers to the process by which colonies become independent nations. It occurred from 1945-1960 as countries that had been ruled by European colonial powers gained autonomy and self-governance. Key drivers of decolonization included nationalist movements inspired by leaders like Gandhi, contributions by colonies during World War 2, and the rise of ideologies supporting self-determination. The end of colonial rule had political, economic, and social consequences for newly independent nations.

This document discusses Leonard Sweet, a prominent figure in the emerging church movement. It provides background on Sweet's teachings and connections to New Spirituality, panentheism, and other figures in the emerging church like Brian McLaren. It examines some of Sweet's books that discuss concepts from the emerging church in an effort to understand the theological underpinnings and language of the emerging church movement. Criticisms of Sweet's teachings are also presented from others concerned with the spiritualistic and New Age influences found within parts of the emerging church.
Decolonization - Africa
The document discusses decolonization in Africa following World War II. It outlines Kwame Nkrumah's vision of a unified and economically integrated Africa with less Western influence through Pan-Africanism. It then examines the internal and external challenges African nations faced in gaining independence, as well as the impact of the Cold War. Most nations achieved independence through negotiated deals or incomplete decolonization, though settler colonies like Kenya and Algeria faced violent uprisings. The results of decolonization were often non-revolutionary transfers of power to corrupt elites and continued economic dependence on the West.

The killing of patrice lumumba, and current congolese crisis
Patrice Lumumba was the first democratically elected prime minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo after it gained independence from Belgium in 1960. However, he was very popular which threatened Western countries, and he accepted aid from the Soviet Union due to lack of support for removing Belgian forces. This led the US and Belgium to conspire to remove him from power. He was ultimately captured and assassinated with complicity from the CIA, Belgian officials, and others in 1961. His death helped consolidate the authoritarian rule of Mobutu Sese Seko and destabilized the DRC for decades.

The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) has forced over 2 million people in northern Uganda to flee their homes to escape torture. Led by the religious fanatic Joseph Kony, the LRA has kidnapped, raped, and brutally murdered thousands. One survivor, Sylvia, watched as a rebel soldier killed her newborn baby by bashing it against a wall and cut off her husband's head with a machete. She was then forced to carry the rebel's equipment for a week before being rescued. In total, 301 people were massacred in the village of Barlonyo in 2004 when LRA rebels overpowered local defenses and burned people alive in their huts or hacked survivors to death.
Tactics of the vietnam war revision
US tactics in the Vietnam War included search and destroy missions, carpet bombing campaigns, and the use of chemical weapons like napalm and Agent Orange. Search and destroy missions often resulted in high civilian casualties and turned local villagers against the US, while bombing campaigns targeted North Vietnamese supply lines and potential Viet Cong strongholds. The immense financial cost of these tactics was unacceptable to the US public. Viet Cong tactics focused on guerrilla warfare through ambushes and booby traps, which accounted for over half of US casualties and instilled great fear in US troops.

Richard Milhous Nixon - Shaun Hoskisson
Richard Nixon was elected president in 1968 on a promise to end the Vietnam War. His policies of cutting the Ho Chi Minh supply trail through bombing campaigns destabilized Cambodia and Laos, while Vietnamization aimed to gradually withdraw U.S. troops by training South Vietnamese forces but ultimately failed as South Vietnam fell to North Vietnam in 1975. Nixon's presidency was cut short by the Watergate scandal after he was found to be involved in a cover up of White House-orchestrated burglaries at the Democratic National Committee headquarters. He resigned in 1974 to avoid impeachment.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
