What I see in the Placard.

A Caucasian man washing his hands with soap which is surrounded by pictures of what was considered to be parts of civilization in those days. There is also a picture of a white man giving a black man soap.

Cause of New Imperialism ⇒ Moral obligation to help "uncivilized" people.

There was a prevailing view in the 19th century that the white man had the moral obligation to help the parts of the world that has not reached their level of civilization to reach it.

This picture shows that view because it believes that much like using soap to wash away dirt, the white man should help the "uncivilized" nations and races to wash away their perceived backwardness and become more clean and civilized like the whites.

religion played a major role in the american revolution by offering a moral sanction for opposition to the british--an assurance to the average american that revolution was justified in the sight of god. the revolution strengthened millennialist strains in american.

president carter called the victims of kidnapping "victims of terrorism and anarchy" and added that the united states was not going to give in to blackmail. in the united states, they see hostage-taking as an outrage on the part of the islamist movement that violated the principle of international law on the immunity and inviolability of diplomats and their embassies.

carter refused to yield to the demands, khomeini used the situation to consolidate his power and nullify the challenges of the moderate wing of his government, headed by its president. the euphoria over the humiliation of the most powerful nation distracted the iranian people from the economic difficulties of their country. carter, in april 1980, broke diplomatic relations with iran and imposed a trade embargo, except medicine and food. iranian funds in the us they were frozen and accounted for to compensate the hostages when they were released and to pay the demands of us companies against iran.
