  1. CONFLICTS BETWEEN WORLDS By: Alexis Mitchell

  2. HIV/AIDS IN AFRICA • Middle East. AIDS is now the leading cause of death in sub-Saharan Africa – killing an estimated 1.4 million people in 2008 alone. In the same year another 1.9 million became infected with HIV. • http://www.avert.org/aids-africa-questions.htm

  3. Natural Resources Numerous motives instigated Great Britain, France, and Belgium's colonization of Africa. For one thing, since Europe felt depleted of natural resources needed for industrialization, all the nations had an interest in the raw materials found in Africa

  4. Conflicts and suffering • European empires in the new world lacked there major recourses in mostly like in work cases the in indigenous people had to prove some unreliable people and Europeans were unsuited to the climate and they suffered under tropical disease and other diseases. The trans Atlantic slave trade began around the mid fifteenth century when Portuguese interest in Africa moved away from the fabled deposits of gold to a much more readily available. • http://afhttp://africanhistory.about.com/od/slavery/tp/TransAtlantic001.htm • ricanhistory.about.com/od/slavery/tp/TransAtlantic001.htm

  5. Aparthied • Apartheid was a form of racial segregation, used in South Africa from 1948 to 1990, which taught white supremacy and prejudice towards non-whites. But discrimination started long ago in South Africa, when the British settled there in 1795, and although the ratio of whites to non whites was roughly 1-9 they successfully passed many ridiculous laws forcing unreasonable expectations and stipulations on the native Africans.

  6. Political Powers • Ethnic, political and social tensions among European colonel powers, indigenous Africans, and English and Dutch settlers led to open conflict in a series of wars and revolts between 1879 and 1915 that would have lasting repercussions on the entire region of southern colonies. Pursuit of commercial empire as well as individual aspirations, especially after the discovery of gold (1844) and diamonds (1866), were key factors driving these developments.[1]
