Find an Unrelated recent event and compare it to the colonization of Africa and the industrial revolution. Recent event must be within the last year (2021-2022)

AVOID TRUMP/RUSSIA NEWS

Professor instructions

History doesnt live in a bubble. There are many events that occur that can be compared to current events (I am not asking you to find a recent article about an historical event, but instead a recent event that you could compare and contrast to something we cover that week). Each week, you must hand in a 2-3 page, double-spaced paper comparing something we went over that week to a recent news story (from within the last year). This paper is not a summary of the article or the historical event, but instead your own critical analysis comparing the two.

Please include a copy of the link (URL) to your news article with your paper

Only put your name on the top of the paper (no other details needed)

2-3 pages means at least 2 full pages (double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font) and not one paragraph or only a few sentences on the third page.

In the era of fake news, we must try to avoid blogs, opinion pieces, and propaganda.

Examples of credible news sources: New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, France 24, BBC, the Guardian, le Monde, reliefweb.int, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy — (No 24-hour news channel sites (CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, etc.)

This is a world history class expand your horizons, and please avoid Trump/Russia news.
