HW: Due Thursday. On a sheet of paper, pretend that you are a witness to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo, Bosnia 1914. How do you feel? What do you believe will happen? Write about 1 page. (You can decide whether or not you are a nationalistic Serbian, a loyal Austrian, or anyone else). See below or more historical info.

Sample
- It was a beautiful day in June, 1914. Excitement and loud cheering filled the air. Through the crowded streets, I caught a glimpse of the Archduke’s motorcade. He’s here! The townspeople stir with excitement as we anxiously wait. Though I currently live in Sarajevo, I am a loyal citizen of the Austrian Hungarian empire. His Highness, Archduke Ferdinand is visiting Bosnia, a nation that is under the control of Austria. My two sons and I have lined up for two hours to see him. Suddenly, two shots rang out. People screamed in fear and confusion. Through the throngs of people, I noticed the Archduke slumped over in his seat. “It’s the Black Hand!” someone screamed. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a young man, no more than twenty, race down the street. How could this have happened? I asked myself. It must have been that cursed Serbian nationalist group, the Black Hand. They have been fighting for control of Bosnia for years. Austria will have to declare war on Serbia now. But what will happen next? Which nation will fight with us? War is inevitable.

1)Draw your own political cartoon using a scenario from U.S. imperialism. Use at least 3 SYMBOLS, EXAGGERATE facts, and make sure you have a message.
2)EXPLAIN your cartoon. On the back of the cartoon, explain:
a) Time period and setting of your cartoon
b) What is your message and
c) how your symbols support the message
example:
During the late 1800s and early 1900s, the U.S. entered an era of imperialism. Throughout China, spheres of influences were established and many western nations carved up parts of China for their own commercial gain. This cartoon is drawn from the perspective of a Boxer, a member of a rebel group that protested the presence of foreign nations within China’s borders. The western nations are depicted as annoying chickens that keep pecking at the worms sticking out of the ground. The worms represent the seemingly harmless and victimized citizens of China who will eventually be pulled from their homes and devoured by the hungry western powers. …

In your sourcebooks, pretend that you are someone living in any of the nations or places that we have encountered during Imperialism.
How would you feel about the presence of other nations within your borders? Write a poem based on an actual scenario USING words that we have learned so far (Open Door Policy, Spheres of Influence, etc)
Examples that you can use
1) A witness to the Boxer Rebellion (or someone who took part)
2) A citizen living the explosion of the U.S.S. Maine or your impressions of the Spanish American War as a whole
3) The U.S. annexation of Hawaii
Example:
It was June of 1900
These wretched foreigners invade our shores, that they did
Why are they here, you say?
To show us how to do things their way!
Trains, rails, and weapons: they make us buy
Even their religion, their missionaries say if we don’t accept, we will die
From Shanghai to Beijing, their spheres of influences spread and spread
It was too much and before I knew it, anger and hatred filled my head
The Open Door Policy of the United States was all I could bear
It shows another nation stealing our resources, if they dare
I gathered my group of Boxer and we hatched a plan
To rid our mighty homeland of these people from a far off land
QUIZ next Tuesday. Topics to study are imperialism in China, spheres of influence, Open Door Policy, Boxer Rebellion, Big Stick Policy, Theodore Roosevelt, Panama Canal
We will finish going over topics this Thursday. Quiz will have 8 multiple choice questions, 3 identifications, 1 DBQ part.
