Amadou Hampaté Bâ is extremely detailed throughout the book, The Fortunes of Wangrin, in explaining the colonial world in West African societies. He provides multiple examples in this work of fiction that precisely describe the factual aspects of African colonialism that we have discussed in class. I will point out a few of the examples that Bâ uses such as: limitations colonial governments set on Africans, the Métis relationships within colonies, and issues that arose, not only between Europeans and Africans, but within the native African communities as well. I will then point out certain details from the book that do not perfectly reflect the components of colonialism that we have studied in lecture.

On the morning of March 16th 1968, over 500 Vietnamese civilians, including unarmed men, women, children and elderly, were brutally slaughtered in the village of My Lai by the Us military soldiers of the Charlie Company, a unit of the Americans division 11th Infantry brigade, under the leadership of Captain Ernest Medina. The My Lai massacre was seen as one of the most brutal events to have happened in American military history and is a clear demonstration of the corruption that is within the American military. Senior officers, such as Medina, attempted to try and cover up what had occurred in My Lai but failed to do so. The massacre was later revealed after an investigation was ordered and conducted, due to Ron Ridenhour, “a former member
The Mai Lai massacre took place March 16, 1968 in the Mai Lai village of South Vietnam and is considered to be one of the most traumatic incidents of violence towards civilians of the Vietnam War. In the massacre, and estimated 347 Vietnamese civilians were brutally killed by American soldiers of the Charlie Company. Soldiers were sent to the village to capture and kill members of the Viet Cong, but when they arrived, they could only find villagers. Instead of retreating, they brutally raped, tortured, and murdered hundreds of civilians; mainly women, children and the elderly, all whom were unarmed. In the defense of these soldiers, many say that they were just doing what they thought was right, what they were ordered to do.

The defense system of Nanking borders were quite weak and the ones who defended Nanking were prisoners of war and soldiers who had no skill. The Japanese army took advantage of the unstable security and was able to take over Nanking easily (Kajimoto 2000). Following the defeat of Nanking they began to commit numerous war crimes. The Japanese exterminated many Chinese through established killing games by decapitation. It was between soldiers by the names of Mukai and Noda “to see which of them will first fell one hundred Chinese in individual sword combat” (Chang 1991).
The Emperor should take a militaristic approach with Xiongnu because it is very costly to keep the tribute system going and our tributes may empower them, the Han should attack while they are still bigger than the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu also already proved themselves untrustworthy. As chief foreign policy adviser to the illustrious Emperor of the Middle Kingdom, I humbly recommend that the Emperor should instead take a militaristic approach because it will be very costly to continue sending tributes every year, if continued with diplomatic approach the Xiongnu could grow bigger than us and take over. For the past 50 years I have been keeping track of the price for the tributes we send to the Xiongnu, the cost rises every couple of years, we should have stopped sending tributes after they invaded us in 166 BCE, we never know when the Xiongnu will stop wanting our tributes. The cost of sending tributes to the Xiongnu rises every couple of years.

There were many moments when Ji-Li was reminded she was very smart.
The act of racism has been present in every society throughout history. Discrimination of other groups based on their different descent and ethnicity.

There is never a true winner in war. When hundreds of innocent civilians are killed it draws attention from all over the world.

Events like the My Lai Massacre portrayed our country in a negative way and furthermore coincide with the barbaric actions behind the entire Vietnam War.
