Chapter 22

In this chapter I learned about hella stuff again. This stuff is so interesting to it's pretty cool. So like in the chapter I learned that Africans started to overthrow European rule. Also that in the 20th century hella empires started to fall. I learned that India, Gandhi led protests against British rule after experiencing racial segregation. Gandhi's protests were peaceful and he became a important role model to many in the future. While Gandhi was doing his thang, India was divided between hinds and muslims, so like when they achieved independence, muslim Pakistan became a separate country. Over in south africa, the minority white people were dominant, while the majority population of blacks were "beneath" the whites. The blacks and whites were separated by the apartheid policies. When I learned this it wasn't like surprising but was at the same time, almost everywhere that these damn colonizers went, they implied segregation and racial inequality. Anyways, the African national congress was holding nonviolent demonstrations to try to put an end to segregation but they were deemed illegal, which isn't surprising because white people aways try to find a way to keep people of color down. While this was going down, other countries around the world were struggling for freedom and they became influenced by European democracy institutions. In Latin America poverty led to military takeovers of the rich and powerful.
