The king is dead!

In the past week our experiences in the kingdom of M1 with king coyle was hard.
we had many diffuculties with the laws he made. We also had taxation without representation just like the 13 colonies. we had minimum religious freedom as the citizens of the 13 colonies had. we had to have a stamp on all paper that was bought by our money. This is called the stamp act. We had a curfue and could not speack what we had to say. If we did not follow these laws we had to go to georgia and were conflicted of treason. Just as the citizens of the 13 colonies. We planned on a decleration of indepandance treaty but got over rulled by the kings loyal citizens. Since we had to pay royal taxes and fees most of the people were poor.

where 43rd war was held

The 43rd war is based in El Salvador because in the "Nations of the World Atlas" It ways that El Salvador was torn by civil war. The main religion is Roman Catholic (Collins), like in the book, when the villagers died, it says that they put a cross on the grave. The cross is a Catholic sign, and the main language is Spanish. They speak Spanish a lot in the book. (43rd War). It says that there is a lot of guerilla warfare in El Salvador which agrees with the book because they use it a lot.

decleration of independance sumary

when the people in the community feel they are not being treated equally they need to break away from the government and they need to say why. The government needs to hold their responsibility if you believe they are not doing well it is the responsibility of all people to build a new government. They should only change the government when things start getting very bad. You need only to change the government with major things not small things






King George the third did many horrible things to the people he ruled over
For example he imposed taxes on the people without their say. The people who were very poor must have disagreed with this very strongly. He also took the people as captives to fight against their own country, friends and family. King George also cut off the trading from other parts of the world. He put huge bodies of armed troops with them. King George also brought the people to jury on cases that may not be true.






The people of America we now state you are free men. We take you away from the unjustful treatment from King George. We are enemies in war and friends in peace therefore we are all equal. As a new free country the document says we are now free from taxation without representation and treated equal.

The main visual issues would be the words join or die the countries are all separated on the snake. The issues the political cartoon is about was there were argument, fighting, and disagreements in opinions and they all got separated.The cartoonists opinion on this issue would be the cartoonist compares the 13 colonies to a snake so maybe he doesn’t like the idea of the 13 colonies The evidence that supports my opinion would be the words join and die are in capitals and everyone is separated. To make the cartoon more persuasive the cartoonist could have supported the issue on join or die part.

To Be A Slave

To Be A Slave can be trusted. This is because there are so many experiences by different people and they all say something similar about slavery it is not a good way to treat humans. They all make a statement saying that slavery is not a very well thing and its like treating the slaves like dirt. As well as being trusted the book can not trusted. The reasons the book can not be trusted is because the author wasn’t there. The author wasn’t even alive.

Great PowersGame Debrief

My country was Japan. In the beginning of building our empire it felt very slow. Eventually, we started to get our empire more resources. At the start of the game, the country with the most advantages was the U.S. because they had the most resources. Japan was smaller than most of the other countries so we did not have as many resources such as allies, money, and armies. For my country I think it was important to buy armies and colonies. First, the armies in case another country decided to attack us. Second, I would buy the colonies because the more colonies you have the richer you are. We did very well in getting colonies. The one thing I would have done differently was to buy more armies and navies for the wars that went on against us. Instead of just using our allies’ armies and navies we could have used our own. Our alliances were powerful and helpful. The ally that helped us the most was the U.S. Most of our alliances could be trusted very well.


I learned many things about conflicts in the simulation but I will only write about a few. First, I would say that your allies can be a big help if you’re truthful to them they will return the favor and trust that you will help them. Secondly, I learned that most conflicts start by different empires when they both want the same thing. The final reason that conflicts arise is because of ideology. Peoples’ opinions can get in the way and cause disagreements. In conclusion, the three main things that I learned about conflicts from this simulation would be that you should always be true to you allies and the most common reasons war arose was because of different opinions and for ideological reasons.
