Strayer CH 20 (pg 589-606/ pg 607-614)


          In the beginning of the chapter goes over the European conquests and its expansion. From this the impact that was brought to other countries such as Africa, Asia, Spain, Britain, Portugal, France, Australia, U.S., Germany, and Belgium. From these conquests many died in certain countries and many survived. Countries were affected by these expansions and conquests that rebellion occurred and from this many cooperated. During this time there were racism that went around as well as financial needs.

         Towards the end of the chapter goes into how much value and important it is if one has an education. The book refers to education as a social mobility and elite status. Many people who have a good education get better paying jobs and better respect. Not only was education very important during the era but also religion. During the era in many countries many people converted to Christianity. Christianity was widely spread during the time and from Christianity countries' culture was changing. The chapter goes into "race" and "tribe" during the time. It goes over the African tribe and people and comparing with the Europeans. This chapter really shows how much change has been brought to many countries compared to the past.
