    The North African Campaigns took place in the North African desert between 1940 and 1943. North Africa is a region that includes Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, and the Western Sahara. The North African Campaigns were fought for two main reasons. The first reason was the Suez Canal. The canal was extremely important when it came to controlling the Middle East. The second reason was the Middle Eastern oil resources. Egypt was especially important because of its location; it sat at the center of a vital strategic network. The North African Campaigns were also very important because it was the only land based fight where the Allies could take to the Axis powers from 1940 up until 1943, when the invasion of Sicily occurred. It was…

    As we have learned in this class, orphanhood offers many complexities and tribulations to those children which this circumstance has affected. The plight of the orphan is singular and unique to each individual; however, in some cases there are geographical, political, cultural and/or other variable factors that affect very large populations of orphans, sometimes unilaterally. This appears to be the case for orphaned children living in sub-Saharan Africa. Geographically, sub-Saharan Africa consists of all the countries located south of the Saharan dessert in the continent of Africa. Orphans living in this area of the continent face severe complications that are unique to their location. Orphans in sub-Saharan Africa are severely misrepresented and…

    My Uganda Final Draft did not go well. What did go well was the evidence I chose for the assignment, it had relevance towards my thesis but lacked commentary to support it and explain its significance. My Topic Sentences were not all unique and separate but more the same. Plus my thesis wasn't specific enough in proving my point, although I think my thesis was fairly good. Some things I didn't do that would've helped my lack in clarity and my points was personal evaluation. Only the basic amount of rereading was involved in this project. Also one of the best things I could've done that I didnt was get teacher feedback, My teachers grade the assignment and to see how they could've helped to make it an A project would've been golden.…

    The first humans appeared in the Great Rift Valley, located in eastern Africa. As people moved outward from this area they were forced to develop technology to help them to survive in their surroundings. While migrating, these early people also unwittingly performed the other 5 major themes of history; cultural diffusion, trade, conflict, belief systems, and regional empires. This meant that Africa’s geography played a pivotal role in influencing the social, economic, political, and military aspects of these early people’s lives.…

    Over the course of many years, parts of Sub Saharan Africa have decreased in their population because of the STD AIDS. The African government plays a significant role in the reason behind the way AIDS has spread throughout Africa, as an epidemic. When AIDS was beginning to be well known, many African leaders did intervene and showed moral support for some time. Unfortunately, they fell short of providing adequate resources to the African people such as the drugs, better equipped hospitals and a safer country. Many other first class developed countries heard of the epidemic AIDS and the lack of help from their governments. Many of those countries did not feel the need to educate…

    The hunger crisis facing Sub-Saharan Africa is among the most dire in the world. Primarily caused by poverty and a lack of food production, malnourishment is one of the most pressing issues facing Sub-Saharan governments and citizens (Smith). A wide variety of possible solutions to the problem have been suggested by those interested in Sub-Saharan Africa’s well-being. These solutions cover many sectors and industries, but most contain agricultural policy initiatives. Across Africa, agriculture employs “some 70 per cent of the work force and generates on average 30 per cent of Africa’s GDP,” and is therefore critical when considering living conditions and drivers of the economy (Ababa, 47).…
