How Europe Raped Africa

The Berlin conference of 1884 is where European colonising nations basically carved up Africa. Historians refer to it as “the scramble for Africa”.

#Africa #Europe #WhiteSupremacy
The countries represented at the time included Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Denmark, #France, #Germany, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, #Russia, #Spain, Sweden-Norway (unified from 1814-1905), #Turkey, and the United States of #America.
The Conference of 1884–85, also known as the Congo Conference, regulated European colonization and trade in #Africa during the New Imperialism period and coincided with Germany's sudden emergence as an imperial power.

1/? Here we go then, Jean-Claude Juncker's (probably) last ever State of the Union speech. Last year's caused quite a stir. Will J-C look to go out with a bang? Expecting big forays on migration, Rule of Law, foreign & defence policy, & probably a small mention of Brexit. #SOTEU
Juncker unsurprisingly starts out by talking up the current strengths of the EU economy. He points out there are a record 239 million people in work across Europe and youth unemployment stands at 14.8%. Adds: 'That figure is still too high but it's the lowest figure since 2000.'
Juncker says he's proud to have helped Greece stay in the eurozone despite the 'painful years' that caused, and adds: 'I pay homage to the Herculean efforts of the Greek people, an effort that others in Europe still haven't acknowledged sufficiently.'

It’s midterm time!

How would you do on my Order & Violence midterm?

Students get these 4 questions on the first day of class and this afternoon will have to write up two of them: dropbox.com/s/s1oybx240lzh…

See this thread for the questions.
1A Pick a major conflict, current or historical. Discuss the causes of that war with our 5 classes of explanation: (1) commitment problems; (2) info asymmetries; (3) narrow self interest & unchecked greed; (4) righteousness & other non-material incentives; and (5) miscalculation
1B
Then address just one of the following:

• In what ways does your explanation differ from common explanations for the conflict?

• If you are unsatisfied with these 5 explanations, or feel they are insufficient, discuss what might be missing from the framework
