February 19, 2014

Today in class we went over assignments 10, 15, 16. 
At 1:13, we learned that in the Crimean war "Russian >Ottoman Empire" (Minji Seong). The French and British helped the Ottoman Empire to make sure that Russia didn't get too much power. The wars were more complex and more soldiers were injured. During this time a nurse named Florence Nightingale that hospitals should help the patients. "In hospitals there should be no harm" (Ivan Dextre). 
At 1:25, we went over the India map. The British controlled India and changed the native customs. "Britain makes a lot of money with tea" by exporting it to other places (Michelle Yum). If a woman's husband were to die she is obligated to jump in the fire and burn with him. "Sati is not cool" (Moira Camacho). At 1:44 we talked about how the Indians that are the smartest are sent to England to study abroad. Ghandi was educated in India to be a lawyer "Ghandi was a smart man" and would lead a revolution with no blood shed (Luis Aguire).
