European Imperialism In Asia & Africa Simulation Activity Key Objectives of the Activity: A. Understand the inter-relationship between: industrial production, natural resources and markets. (Why Imperialism happened) B. Understand the general geography of Africa. C. Understand how the advancement of technology impacted colonies and parent countries. This Imperialism Map Activity begins with 8 groups representing European Countries. At the start, each country has natural resources and industrial production that are equal in size. Groups have the option of spending their national income on research and development to increase their industrial production, their military for military conquest in Africa or they may save some income for a later turn. As each country makes their moves, students are watching and learning from each other. As Industrial production grows, income will only grow if markets and natural resources grow at the same rate.

Stalin's Balance Sheet As the leader of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin industrialized one of the largest and least industrialized countries in Europe, which probably saved the world from Nazi domination. The people of the Soviet Union paid a horrific price for this as any opposition was crushed. Stalin was one of the most ruthless and paranoid leaders in all of World History. In this history lesson, students will research Stalin's actions, analyze the outcomes and develop the positive and negatives of each. In doing that, students will come to realize how people in the Soviet Union saw him both as a monster and a hero.

Sending waves of men into blistering machine gun fire was pure insanity.
