Britian-canada-britain-india
The British people were the most powerful in the late 19th century, and the Early 20th Century. Britain had wanted to stay in canada and in order for that to happen they had to " conquest" New France. After that had been said, 20 years later there was a huge group of british people that had fled to Canada. The " merchants and officials" who had social and political power were not able to go in the presence of the British people. At least until the American Revolution. Which caused like 40,000 50,000 people to flee to Canada. These people had a very strong impact on Canada. They were establishing different types of churches and religions and schools, and social and government buildings. The british was obviously taking advantage of the imperialism that they had. There are some reasons for why the british were making some extraordinary changes. one of them was that the Canadian Government in 1897 had given goods to the british because of custom duties, which of course made the british empire very happy, and they took advantage of that as fast as they could.

Sudan
The controlling influence over a nation of people. This is something that the Sudan nation has to deal with on a day to day basis. Britain started to rule Sudan in 1881. Britain and Egypt came to a agreement that they would rule Sudan together. Some point in time during the 1920's they created what they call a " closed door", which means that they separated the people and there cultures of North Sudan and South Sudan. The people that live in North Sudan was full of people that belonged to the Arab Descent. In South Sudan people had the culture of African people.
Finally in 1956 the Sudan people broke free from the Britain's and the Egyptians. Then they decided that they needed to change some things. One of the things that they changed was the "closed door" they thought that they should be able to communicate with people in North Sudan and South Sudan. After things got changed back to how they were before, power was handed over to the Arabs in the North. Since the Sudan was fully populated with Arabs they made it so that everybody lived the way the Arabs did, no matter what there culture or religion was. The people that refused to live that way, were of course punished for there decision. This of course caused tension in the community between the Arabs and the Africans, the tension got so bad that it caused a civil war, which led to people leaving the community and displacement of Sudan's Indigenous people. Some ways that could possibly fix these problems would be to let people live there own life, let them have their own religions. I think that the Arab's should be more tolerant of the situation, they should be more considerate on how the people think. I think that since they brought the south and the north back together that they should be willing to be open minded about what the people want. If they want to have their own religion they should be allowed, if they want to celebrate what their real cultures are they should be allowed to. If the government doesn't want to have civil wars going on then they should be more open minded about the rules they have made.

What World would you like to leave your children in?
I would not want my kids to live in this world. This world is a corrupt place to live, and I don't think that anyone feels safe to live in this world today. There are crimes being commited all around and wars starting in every country. I would want my kid to live in a safe and enviromental world. I would like my child to be able to have fun but at the same time be safe.
