7.H.2.1

7.H.2.1 Analyze the effects of social, economic, military and political conflict among nations, regions, and groups (e.g. war, genocide, imperialism and colonization). || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Literacy Standard(s)**=== || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Learning Target/Task Analysis**=== The student will understand: Colonization, conquest, and imperialism may alter a people’s way of life in positive and negative ways. Conflict may begin as ideological struggle and end in physical violence. There are multiple perspectives to understand and analyze in order to determine the effects of any type of conflict. The effects of conflict are multifaceted. Economic conflict may alter the quality of life for citizens in various nations and regions. Political conflict may lead to the formation of alliances. Political and social conflict may require military intervention. Scarcity of resources and political power struggles may result in global conflict. For example: Students could dissect the concept of imperialism in India during the 1700s to determine both the positive and negative effects on Indian society. In terms of positive effects, the British set up a “modern” legal system, built a network of roads and telegraph lines, expanded rrigation systems and missionaries worked to improve health care and provide assistance to the poor. On the other hand, the British changed the traditional economy of India from a largely barter economy to one based on money in order to make the colony profitable for the British crown at the expense of Indian business and industry. Additional examples would include: The Scramble for Africa, Exploration and Colonization of the Americas, Western Arrival to China and Japan (1854) and the corresponding effects of these conflicts on both societies.
