Current events December 9,2010

The article talks about of many weapons have made. China has developed a system to launch those missiles from trucks.It also says  that the missile has the range to hit the north-western United States.It says too that Chinese have more confidence doing this because by creating this advancements in weapons you will see their navy protecting sea lanes and oil supplies from the middle East.America is scared  that China  & more European contries will have more advanced weapons than them.

The Opium wars & After  the Chinese was defeated by the British ; the british still had the  power ove Chinas society, the also opened ports of Canton, Amoy, Fushou, Ningbo, and Shanghai, with this they allowed British mercahants to enter their products.They also legalize the opium because the Chinese became more addictive and this bringed China down.

 I think that China is now better that they were in the Opium wars because the back then in Opium wars China was poor & it was going down. Chinese people used the drug Opium but now everything seem to change because Chinese are trying to improve.This connects to the article because it shows that China is getting more advanced in technolgy & weapons  like doing the missile to improve their navy & protect their land, & today is known as a powerful and a strong country because of their accomplisments after the Opium wars.

SEPOYS REBEL TO THE BRITISHHH!!

Sepoys rebel to the British , they cant tolerate more of their imperialism.This was in in the town of Meerut when a group of , native soldiers employed by the British East India  army, mutinied because of perceived race-based injustices and inequities.Causes of this? RELIGION! Cow is considered holy to the hindus and simply touching a pig is considered a sin to muslims.All sepoys are tired of the British rule in India.

Many of the sepoys killed their british officers.All sepoys are now united to liberate India from the British rule & to make it a free country.This is going to be hard for all the sepoys but they have faith they will win the independence from the british even though they dont know how long is going to take.If you are tired of the british rule too & you think they should make their laws & goverment here ; Rebeel & unitee to the sepoy mutiny.
