Dorothea Lange Gallery

       Dorothea Lange was well known for her photography during the time of the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. Most of the nation of America was devastated by the tragedy like this little girl in the photograph. In the description Lange states "Resettled farm child, New Mexico, 1935" which indicates the the child and her family needed to move form their original setting to a new one. Her family was most likely affected by the Dust Bowl and forced to leave and move in to a home that was falling apart. The little girl looks as if she is depressed and disliked the move to New Mexico, she wants to be back to her old home but understands that their was no benefit in staying where they were. 

        The government did not help the people that were losing their farms like the family of this child, they were trying to make the nation stay afloat; thus, the poor families had to fend for themselves. The government needed to provide services to the ones in dire need yet families and other individuals were not receiving any help. The government needs to provide the people with medical care due to the Dust Bowls that would cause illness that could kill an individual. The only type of solution for the little girl and her family is to hope for the best and try to farm on this new land in order to make some money. 

Imperialism in WWI

        There was an ample amount of reasons why the first World War occurred such as imperialism which basically means attaining an empire or a collection of territories. One country wanted to take over the other and monopolize the individuals who inhabited the area. With more land and territories under there absolute control of the country the will encounter copious power that would soon make then envied by the rest of the countries. The European nations ruled the smaller nations and competed with each other to amass more colonies. To obtain absolute power is to gather as many possible territories to be conquer and rule as Europe was doing with Africa in the "scramble for Africa" in the late 1800's. 



          Europeans in the mid of the 19th century were engaging in another rush for empire because it was necessary to get the materials for cheaper and a perception that the potential colonies were becoming more scarce.   Europeans were taking most of the territories and becoming powerful but France and Britain already had land in Africa and Asia. However, now Germany and Italy want in the pool in attaining more land to become robust as a nation. They wanted to gather raw materials and cheap labor just like the other countries because it was not fair for only some empires to get to a higher education.

         There was diplomatic Crisis between France and Germany in the early 20th centenary in fault of the scramble for empire. France wanted Morocco because of its location in northern Africa which was easy for France to manipulate.However, Germany did not want France to attain the land thus in 1906 Kaiser Wihelm II traveled to Tangier which he would promote Moroccan independence. It got the French government upset and in 1911 the French was trying to suppress a rebellion in Morocco but the German landed an armed vessel to "help" Morocco. It was a provocative move which was going to bring war with France and Germany.
