Today we continued blog talks starting with austin becasue he didnt finish yesterday.He started by talking about the box rebellion. These were people that fought whith their hands and swords and were going to take over the queen but she talked them in to fighting for her. Boxers are chinese people that wanted to get foreigners out of their country. they killed hundreds of europeans and then the europeans attacked back.Next we moved on to Kaylee and she talked about the panama canal. Panama gave us the right to build the Canal because they declared independence when they were backed up by the US navy.Next sarah went over multiple different things. first she went over the Monroe doctrine- it was a warning given to europe to stay out of the western hemisphere. Next she talked about the big stick Diplomacy- it was the idea that you could negotiate quietly with other countries but yet threatening them with military might.Next she talked about the dollar diplomacy. giving a lot of loans to countries. and loaning money to countries who already owe you kind of gives you power because their bill keeps getting bigger.Next she talked about the missionary diplomacy alittle.
