Task #4 ~ Solutions

In the world today, the gap between North and South continues to grow but thanks to groups such as The World Bank and other major names such as, Amnesty International and UNICEF. In terms of what The World Bank does is, they are a organization that will lend money to another country on strict grounds of what they need to be able to apply to get this funding. The World Bank is part of the U.N so they try to create peace and better living conditions for countries around the world. An up-to-date act The World Bank and other organizations has taken, was the right for women to own land and have a certificate proving they do in Ethiopia. After a 2-year agreement, the rights for women to own land finally came through making them feel equal to the men, and be a happy citizen in Ethiopia. Below is the link to The World Bank's official site.

Task #2 ~ Decolonization

East India Company was formed by the British in a time when disorganized kings fought amongst themselves and this left the golden opportunity to Britain to take large chunks of land, and gain wealth. Britain gained higher wealth from these kings, helping one fight the other by offering to train new soldiers, better, stronger and faster, offer money to get supplies and offered all Indian soldiers employment in the British regiments. With all this, the British had the kings sign treaties that they never hesitated to sign. When the British did this, they were making Indian skills and crafts people sell stuff to Britain for low prices and them buy it back for higher. This would lead to the mightiest revolt in the 19th century. The reasons Britain decolonized India was because, India was no longer providing the wealth Britain had gone there for, India wanted independence, and Britain was still in major debt due to fighting in WWI and WWII
