3.2.1.

Three Things I learned:

• I learned about the Maji Maji rebellion. I never knew that this even happened, and their belief that the magic water would turn bullets to water is very interesting.
• I learned that Menelik II preserved Ethiopia's independence AND modernized it.
• Finally, I learned that there are numerous ways to colonize a country. Previously, I had thought that a ruler traipses into a country and said "HA! You're mine now!" but now, I understand that there are many different ways to control those colonies, and to absorb them (or force them) into your culture.

Two Things I Found Interesting:

• I always find the struggle for suffrage to be extremely interesting to learn about. I always take something different away from that discussion.
• I also found the Victorian Ladies' News interesting in chapter 10 section 1. I particularly enjoyed the Victorian Manners section.

One Question that I still Have:

• I still don't quite understand assimilation. I understand that it breaks down a culture, but I don't understand how, really...
