Imperialism //**Pose a question**// What exactly is happening in this meeting and who are these people? **//Collect visual data//** **//-//** Men in different styled outfits -> Different cultures meeting - One is bowing while the other is standing -> More respect for the other - Many people observing this meeting -> Very important meeting dealing with cultures - There is no one set outfit for the men of India -> All different religions or come from different social classes/government standings - There are some Indians in the "same" uniform as the British -> They are the **Sepoy**, or the Indian men who fight in the British Army **//Draw a Conclusion//** This is a meeting between the Prince of Wales, Edward, is meeting with the Indian princes in India. This meeting is very important because it may concern the future of the Indian government and the relationship with Great Britain.

**//Based on this map, what can you infer about the changes going on in the world?//** What I see in the map is a growing power in the European nations. Before 1850, there were hardly any European nations holding territory in Africa but then in 1914, the African nation changed forever. Almost every big power in Europe held land in Africa. These big powers being Great Britain, France, Germany, and Portugal. Another change I see on this map is that the Danish (?) hold power in Greenland. During the time period of 1850 and 1914, India became a land that every great empire wanted. In 1850, Great Britain took hold of India and even in 1914, their power grew, growing toward the east of India. Great Britain still holds power in Australia. What land that is lost is that of the Philippines. Spain had the Philippines for almost 500 years but when 1914 came, they had lost Spain. What isn't mentioned on the map is that the United States now have control over the Philippines. Near the Philippines is what would now be the country of Laos. In 1850, no European nation held power over them but then in 1914, it becomes part of the French empire. Great Britain also gains more control over what would now be Canada.
