Voltaire Dbq Analysis
Europeans treated non-Christians cruel, and unfair. Voltaire was a French philosopher and writer of the Age of Enlightenment. Voltaire urged people to stop people from treating each other wrong since they have different religions. Voltaire’s argument contradicted what was being done and the consequences that Document 5 has on the mindset in the 17th and 18th centuries is that he would be punished from saying bad things about Christians. In Document 5 it states, “But these people despise us; they treat us as isolators! Very well! I will tell them that they are grievously wrong.” This shows that Europeans think/believe that they are treating them fine and well but they think/believe the incorrect. This proves that Voltaire did show that Christians

    Zheng He Dbq Analysis

    One cannot celebrate a man who left so little impact on the world. Have you ever heard the name Zheng He? Likely not, and with good reason. Zheng He was born Ma He, in a muslim village in southwestern China. Ma was captured during a northern chinese raid, and was forced to watch his father’s execution. He was taken shortly after, and was forced to become a eunuch under the new name Zheng He and serve the staff of the royal family. Zheng He quickly gained the trust of the emperor at the time, and rose the ranks and became a military general and advisor to the emperor. The emperor eventually gave him the task of commanding a fleet of ships down the coast of China all the way to India. Including the first, Zheng He made seven voyages total. In…

    1865 And 1900 Dbq Analysis

    Within the years 1865 and 1900, changes in farming allowed for the increased production of crops such as wheat, corn and cotton. Technology allowed the Great Plains to be opened to agriculture. Perhaps the most important advances were John Deere's steel plow (which made it much easier to break the thick and heavy soil of the area) and barbed wire (which could keep livestock out of fields). Also, according to Document A, in 1870, the production of wheat was 254 million bushels, cotton had a production of 4,352 million bushels and 1,125 million bushels of corn were produced. By 1900, the production of wheat, cotton and corn had increased to 599 million bushels, 10,124 million bushels and 2,662 million bushels respectively. This is the direct…

    Jeffersonian Era Dbq Analysis

    The period between 1815 and 1825 was inaccurately dubbed the “Era of Good Feelings.” Despite the relatively low political opposition and boom of westward expansion and economy, bigger problems such as the economic bust as well as the differing beliefs of northern and southern states threatened the strength and unity of the nation during this time. After the war of 1812, the surge of nationalistic feelings took place, but, simultaneously, there were underlying forces of sectionalism.…

    Confederation Dbq Analysis

    In 1643, there were four New England colonies who formed a confederation and they came up with the Articles of Confederation. In 1697, William Penn brought forth a plan of union which never was implemented. Last but not least in 1754, Benjamin Franklin came up with the Albany Plan of Union. “The history of colonial efforts to cooperate or unite demonstrates that the colonies had no strong or sustainable need for a common government.” All of those plans never went into effect but that doesn't mean that they didn't want to unite. In the following paragraphs I'm going to state why I think this statement is wrong by using documents A, B, and C.…

    Scramble For Africa Dbq Analysis

    Menelik II, emperor of Ethiopia, appealed to the great powers of Europe to have mercy on Ethiopia in sight of their common faith (Doc. 3). He believed that his appeal to their shared faith would cause the Europeans to rethink their actions, but Menelik II did not understand that the Europeans regarded material wealth as more important than their faith. Ndansi Kumalo described how the British treated the Africans like animals, and they had superior weapons (Doc. 4). Ndansi Kumalo and his people did not understand that the British had superior weapons, so they were defeated and bewildered by the horrendous treatment they received from the British. Mojimba, an African chief recounted a battle against the British and African mercenaries, and he described how the Europeans had rifles (Doc. 9). Mojimba believed that the Europeans were more evil than the Africans were, and he realized that the Europeans were more evil than the Africans were, and he realized that the Europeans were hypocritical in the Christian faith with their malevolent actions. Menelik II’s option that the European powers would not attack his country because they shared the same faith was influenced by his faith as a fellow Christian and his understanding of Christianity that Christian powers should be friendly toward one another. The African leaders had a difficult time understanding the European culture and…

    Lastly, I was able to make my decision, of whether to stay or not, based off of the lack of support and supply provided to us. A painting of George Washington talking to the Congressional Committee is shown to represent the struggles G.W. had to go through to get his men the bare minimums that they needed to survive. (Doc.B) Washington is trying to get the committee to meet his soldiers, so that they will be persuaded to give them (the soldiers) supplies that they needed at Valley Forge. (Doc B) The soldiers shown in the painting are obviously not patient and calm when it came to asking for help from others because they were desperately in need.

    Albert Parsons Dbq Analysis

    Based on the documents, it can be inferred that Albert Parsons was indeed a threatening man. In document c, it asserts that the anarchists, including Albert Parsons, were very fond of dynamite (Document C). As known, dynamite is a high explosive substance that stimulates destruction and chaos. The evidence suggests that since Parsons was very affectionate to the use of dynamite, it can be inferred that he is a very chaotic and destructive individual that only seeks extremist methods to accomplish an objective. Moreover, in document d, an article published in the New York Times at the time, it is explained how Parsons incited rebellion and chaos by promoting his followers to overthrow the system through the use of violence. He conveys the idea that the problem is not found in a single individual but rather is found in their form of government (Document D).…

    Philip II Augustus's Support Of The Jews Of France

    “Long the objects of Christian polemic, hated as moneylenders by ordinary people, and feared by the clergy as successful competitors with Christianity, Jews became easy scapegoats for rulers who wished to exploit fear and prejudice. In 1182, Philip II Augustus, eyeing the wealthy Jews of Paris, ordered all nonconverting Jews out of France and confiscated their property and possessions,” (248). It was very harsh to banish an entire group of people based on their religion but Phillip the King had motivations to order all non-converting Jews out of France. They did this because the Jews living in France had become so rich and claimed almost half of the city, they began to have Christians work as servant in their households. This then causes…

    When people began sorting themselves based on language, race, and religion, it was necessary to draw lines and exclude people. The emergence of states, and the births of new religions forced societies to choose how to treat others. Despite several religion’s moral argument that outsiders were equal, many early societies failed to believe in this, and driven by fear created a permanent rift between themselves and their neighbors.…
