The 43rd war is placed in El Salvador because the Santa marina volcano is in El Salvador. also they are only speaking Spanish. Also El Salvador in the book says has a volcano called Santa Ana. Also every meal the have they get coffee (Moeri, 83) so that means it is a major crop in the book so that proves that in El Salvador coffee is a major crop. also El Salvador has had revolutions from 1992 and that proves that it deos not have a stable government like in this book.

We can trust the book “To Be a Slave” by Julius Lester because he has actual quotations from the slaves on what happened to them. Also he has in text citations on where he got the information from for that specific paragraph. Also he must have endured some of them because he looks in his sixties. On the negative side it could be one sided and exaggerated. "A quote from the book will show that not all men were cruel to slaves. Gabe didn't like that whipping business, but couldn't help himself. When Massa was there he would lay it on, When massa wasn't there he would tie up a slave to one post and lash another. Of course the slave would scream and yell to satisfy massa." (Lester 35)

Great Powers Game Debrief

1. I was Japan and since i had to start out with 1 industry and colony in the beginning then i had to catch up to the others and that was hard cause I didn't have spare profit for the army and that was my mistake. I think USA had the advantage having 4 in every thing and i was dead last for sure.

2. It was more important to buy colonies and armies because there was a limited suipply of them and armies to protect them.

3. I apperantly have done nothing well and i would have hide my industry and bought some armies.

4. In the beginning the USA was my enemy but we made and alliance and i understood why he did it and it was for the good of the alliance.

5. The things i learned about conflict are that alliances cant be trusted like the french broke up with the US and GB and the ottoman empire tried to kill me e]when we had an alliance. Then that industry is important and etc.
