I'm doing a debate in my world geography class...and I need some info. When Europe invaded China, did an official apartheid take place? Also, what other countries has Europe invaded without an official apartheid resulting? Please include reference sites!!!!! Thank you so much, I appreciate it!

Unfortunately EVERY country invaded and occupied by Europeans/Americans from the Middle Ages to TILL TODAY has been subjected to "Differential Treatment" of the natives and the Invaders/Occupiers.\n\nApartheid is a word coined typically by the treatment met out to Afrikaans in the hands of the British settlers.\n\nSo practically there is NO country without this ill-treatment as "White skin people" considered themselves as "Messiahs" to uplift the natives of their occupied lands and hence plundered and looted that country.\n\nIm attaching a list of Country (The Occupier) and their Colonies. You can read the history of each of that country and you will find my statement above fitting and true.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Colonial_Territories_by_country\n\n.:Fishie:.

The current boundaries do not go back for centuries.  The only reason the Han Chinese (majority ethnicity, like whites in the USA) argue otherwise is on the basis of VASSAL states, which had to pay taxes to the Han emperor for protection from his army.  If this argument was valid, all of Vietnam and Cambodia and parts of Laos, Myanmar, Russia, Mongolia, India and several -Istans would all be under Chinese control.\n\nBut you notice the people in those countries don't recognize Chinese claims.  Neither do the minorities who found themselves inside China's boundaries after Mao forcibly redrew the map and colonized their territory.\n\nIn addition, the Han themselves are beginning to get fed up with the Communist Party, largely because of exposure to the West.  There's really no telling what would happen if the government had to send the military in to face nation-wide protests.\n\nWar with the US, on the other hand, could be a unifying cause.  And we don't know how to end a war with China.

I disagree with the person that said move to Europe, I mean racism is everywhere no matter what country no matter what ethnicity. Yes us black folks get it thrown in our face everyday but F*** em' life goes on you know, "what they eat don't make us sh**. like jay z said, ain't no love in the heart of the city, ain't no love in the heart of town"  Did you know in the history of television, in europe 2 weeks ago, a news station hired a black broadcaster. Now how long has the tv been around. We may have a few more oppurtinities, but not much. Just do what we all do, keep ya head up and try to maintain, Like Donny Hathaway says " Take it from me someday we'll ALL be FREE!"

1)Yes, we still live in a racist country.  I am a 46 year old Black woman who has experienced quite a bit of racism bcos of the color of my skin (caramel) without any knowledge of who I really am.  I have traveled quite a bit within the states as well as other countries & honestly cannot see much of a difference.  Point in case...I've even traveled to Africa & have been faced with questions like "what are you?".  I think that I offended the one asking the question bcos I said "I'm an American".  They responded "do you mean African-American?" to which I responded "sure if thats how you would like to phrase it".  2) Yes my parents had a hard time but they "dealt with it" by being active in the civil rights movement.  My great-grandmother would never let me work in the fields when I visited saying " no way, your Mom & Grandmama would have a fit & besides those days are over for your generation".  She was right, however there are others here who seem to forget that.  With regards to "us guys" still living in this country...this is our country & we'll fight for the right to live here....in peace.

An interesting sidelight - When I visited China just a few years ago, the people of Beijing were very excited to be hosting the 2008 Olympic summer games. Beijing has terrible air quality problems stemming primarily from the use of soft brown coal in power plants and industries.  With the pride of the nation at stake the Communist government simply decreed that after a given date (before the beginning of the Olympics) no one in the area would be allowed to burn coal. They will then burn relatively plentiful supplies of natural gas.  How is that for evil producing good!

I can see everyone is still arguing on here RO35. Lol\n\n@ Lava Man I will have you know there was no cheating done by the Italian team. My father knows people in very high places in Italy and Sicily and easily found out that there was none of that crap pulled. Sorry to have to tell you, but its the truth. How does he know?? He has connections with the Italian government. With that said I couldnt tell you about Portugal though.

As always just go to www.wikipedia.org lol I go there for everything, but not now because it's not working right now(I am also working on a world history project ha what a coincidence.)Stalingrad happend because Von Paulus and Hitler decided to invade south into the Caucuses for raw materials instead of North into Moscow. There, they were defeated and the whole 6th army wwas killed/captured, leading to the collapse of the Eastern Front.

C'mon... the Swiss were never neutral.  They have always picked a side.  In WWII they picked the Germans.  Just cuz they didn't pick up arms doesn't mean that they didn't pick sides.  Anyway... when was the last time the Swiss sucessfully prosecuted a war?  I think it was about the same time as France or New Guinnea.  In other news... Swiss Miss Instant Hot Chocolate warms the hearts of children around the world.

I could easily agree with you on some places. British rule always made sure that things in these countries ran much smoother and the British protected those people from outside threats and civil enemies. And it is weird how all these 3rd world countries all seem to be packing old, rusty kalashnikovs... that last bit really made me laugh. One of the things I'll have to remember!!!! But now they are all moving into England and god help anyone who speaks up against them, because "it would be un-PC".

Yehh.. i have actually! The main reason being that I'm FROM Singapore.. hehe. \nOk lame, but hey.. I'm a fellow Singaporean so you'll cut me some slack right?\nI know where its located of course.. and no, its nowhere near China peeps!\nAlways wondered why even as Singapore is becoming an increasingly reknowned country, many still dunno where its truly located. \nGood question to poll whether ppl still think Singapore is a part of China, Jason!  :)

racism is often confused with supremacy. historically countries and empires did discriminate others, but it was more on the basis of being different to them, not always race was the factor. For instance, israelies and palestinians do come from the same race, they are to some extent brothers, but it is something beyond race that makes them so different-religion, politics, etc.

I am from China...I can read your message because we also have internet access(I wonder how you think of Chinese,uncivilized?)\n\nEuropeans used to be weak ethnic groups. Unfortunately, hundreds years ago,europea became very strong because of social and scientific revolution.And China only stayed here. The result is the invasion from European countries.\nAnd now,Europeans are  comparatively rich and stable than most other countries. Some of them are ignorant,arrogant and racial.Some appear to be friendly. \nUnlike the north America,the cultures in europea are highly diverse.  We can't generalize something to all Europeans. Europeans people seem to cherish their own culture.

It happens all over the world, even bad countries aren't held accountable.\n\nSuch as israel for instance in its occupation of Palestinian lands since 1967. Israel was caught breaking the law (occupying another people's land) why is it that it was protected by the US (through Veto Power) and not militarily kicked out like any other normal country would have been? (eg. Iraq out of Kuwait etc.)\n\nSo in conclusion, the proper answer to your good question would be that the world isn't fair and just because some people have GUNS and "protection", (like some states have BIG GUNS and "protection"), the law is lenient with them.\n\nLuv ya! :)\n\nBye Bye
