Haitian War of Independence

Haiti was once called the "pearl of the Antilles", the wealthiest of the colonies in the Caribbean. Haiti was France's most valuable colony in the 1700s. When Napoleon took control of France, he had obvious designs to take over Europe, if not the world.  Haiti could have been his launching point to take North America.  But one thing certainly got in his way: Toussaint L'Ouverture. Notebook assignments 33 and 34, which must be at least one page each, as described below.

Notebook 33. NAPOLEON'S AMBITIONS. Report on what you find, through internet searches, about whether Napoleon DID have his eyes set on North America and the whole world, or just France.  Napoleon certainly wanted to take all of Europe, but did he want to take control of the the rest of the world, including North America?  It is your task to find out what you can and write a minimum of a 1-page report on it.  Be sure to indicate your sources.

Notebook 34. TOUSSAINT L'OUVERTURE. Rport on the life of Toussaint L'Ouverture, the slave who arose to lead the successful slave revolt against the French planters in Haiti.  Haiti is today the only nation founded by a slave revolt.  Your textbook has a good description of Toussaint's life.

Imperialism

• Study with a partner for the test tomorrow. Go over your notes and notebook assignments (they are due tomorrow!)
• Here are some notes from section 5 of chapter 25:
• The Trade Issue. British were selling opium (from India) in China. Silver flowed out of China to pay for the opium. China outlawed opium. British refused to stop selling it. So there was an OPIUM WAR. With their advanced industrial development this was an easy victory for Britain. Britain gets Hong Kong. China had to open 5 ports to trade, and Britain got extraterritoriality. (British citizens could live by their own laws in China, not Chinese laws...)
• Internal Pressures. Qing Dynasty was declining, corrupt. Taiping Rebellion, most devastating peasant revolt in history, 20-30 million died!
• Reform movements. Chinese divided over Western ways. “Self-strengthening movement” adopted w. tech, factories, RRs but gov did not back it. 1894 War with Japan. Japan gets Taiwan, wears W clothes at peace table…revealing China’s weakness…Britain, Germany, French get "spheres of influence" where they could trade.. 1899-US Open Door policy said all European powers could have access to China for trading.
• The Empire Crumbles. Missionaries: Confucius v Christianity. The Chinese resented the perspective of Christian missionaries, and resentment that the British got extraterritoriality. BOXER UPRISING. 1900 "boxers" hated foreigners in China. They attacked foreigners. Their uprising was put down by western powers. China reforms, westernization. Women>school, stress on math/science, not Confucianism. Reformers called for a republic. Sun Yixian, natonalist made President of new Chinese Repub. 1911 ending the dynasties that had ruled China for thousands of years.
