In this 1892 political cartoon, Cecil Rhodes is pictured straddling the continent of Africa with a telegraph line that will stretch from Cape Town to Cairo

Which European country dominated Africa during this time period

A) England

B) France

C) Germany

D) Spain

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!

***websites that me understand the curriculum better last year are and ***

d)to gain support for the independence movement.

hope this : )
