Comparing and contrasting

In the History of Australia, United States, Rwanda, and South Africa, everyone wants to have the most power.

In these past histories the British, French and the Dutch are fighting for power by taking over the natives. In South Africa, the Dutch was their first ones there and was trying to control the Boers but then the British came and started to fight the Boers to get control of them too. One model of the British and the French was in the United States because they were trying to make the most friends of Native Americans to gain their land. And in Rwanda the Dutch got the land before the British so the British couldn’t have the land and also the Dutch had the control of the citizens and had control of it until the end of the holocaust. And in Australia the natives pretty much gave up and gave the power to the British.

Another reason why they wanted the most power is for the gold, free land, and labor. The Boer’s are great workers and the British and Dutch wanted to take them in and use them as slaves. Also in South Africa they were after the land for the VOC and the gold and Diamonds. Like in Australia and Rwanda they got free servants and slaves from the native’s and also minerals like tobacco and wine. And in the United States they were after the land because there was a huge chunk of land at that time.
