When you think of Africa, you probably think of poverty, a hot climate, black people, and historical slaves**. After the great geographical discoveries, Western countries unfolded a dark triangle**, focusing on black Africans, who suffered from centuries of slavery. It was not until the abolition of slavery after the independence of the United States that blacks were gradually emancipated.
Xi this history, people hate the actions of Western countries. In order to colonize and expand, they disregarded human life and wantonly harmed others, from plundering to exchanging inferior goods for blacks, and then selling them to the Americas for profit. However, many people wondered: why didn't the black people choose to resist because they were strong at that time? The reason is that there are many restrictions that make it impossible for them to resist.
Civilization Closure: The Isolation of Africa and the Bondage of Primitive Tribes.
The first is the gap in civilizations. The people of Africa have closed themselves off and do not want to be disturbed by the outside world, which is equivalent to isolation. This protected the homeland, but it also hindered the development of the mode of production, leading to frequent wars between the tribes. At that time, the world had changed dramatically, and Africa was still immersed in the primitive tribal period, unable to perceive the changes in the outside world.
* Disparity: The relentless crushing of the primitive ** by musket artillery.
The second is the backwardness of **. China has already created four major inventions, after the introduction to the West, Westerners used gunpowder to develop a variety of **, using the compass for navigation. When they came to Africa, Westerners used muskets and artillery to deal with Africans, while the natives only had primitive ** such as bows and arrows, stones, etc., and could not compete with each other's muskets and artillery.
Internal problems: Lack of attention to human life leads to cannibalism.
In addition to this, Africa has its own internal problems. Many people do not value human life and treat their own people as slaves. When Western colonizers exchanged cheap goods for blacks, tribal chiefs were happy to accept that these cheap goods could be exchanged for a large number of blacks, and they did not feel at a loss. This made this darkness** last for hundreds of years, while Western colonizers later denied what they had done.
Backwardness will be beaten: development and strength are the real ability.
This also illustrates a truth: If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Only by developing strong in all aspects can he be intimidated by others. We once lagged behind because we didn't keep up with the times, but now our strong country has proven itself to be better able to protect itself and have more of a voice. Through this period of historical reflection, we should realize that only by strengthening ourselves can we gain a foothold on the international stage.
This article details the history of Western enslavement in Africa, focusing on the reasons why strong blacks failed to resist. As I read it, I was shocked and indignant at this history, and the article presented the dark side of the colonial era in an objective manner.
First of all, the article points out the closure of African civilization and the bondage of primitive tribes. This makes me think deeply that the exchange and openness of civilizations are the cornerstone of social progress, and Africa has lost the opportunity for dialogue with the outside world due to its closed attitude. As a result, they were unprepared for aggression in the face of Western colonizers and lost the ability to protect themselves.
Secondly, regarding the disparity in **, the article vividly depicts the technological gap at that time, and the musket artillery of the West compared with the bows and arrows and stones of Africa, forming a great inequality. It also puts Africans in a vulnerable position in conflict and unable to effectively resist aggression. This made me think about the important relationship between scientific and technological progress and the balance of force.
In addition, the article refers to the problem within Africa, where the contempt for human life has led to cannibalism. This internal contradiction provides an opportunity for external aggression and makes me deeply aware of the importance of social unity and internal stability. A cohesive society is more likely to protect itself against external pressures.
Finally, the article points out the truth that "backwardness will be beaten" and calls on readers to realize that only by strengthening themselves can they gain a foothold in the international arena. This is also the point that I agree with the article the most, because the lessons of history tell us that only by constantly pursuing our own development and strength can we survive and gain the right to speak in the fiercely competitive international community.
Overall, the article is thought-provoking, revealing the reasons for enslavement in Africa through an analysis of historical events. In today's world, we need to learn from history and work to promote equality and development among nations in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
