Two Political Cartoons:

This political cartoon depicts the idea that everyone steps on and or simply walks over Africa. I mean the Africans are looked at as second class citizen. They are treated as if they are unintelligent and as if they are dirty human beings. They were also looked down upon and treated as if they were inferior to whites. When you look at the political cartoon we realize that it is Africa because the outline is the continent Africa. The foot print symbolizes that they are walked on and people think is okay to mark them up emotionally as well as physically. I think it is ironic that Africa is separated from other continents this reflects that they are alone in there fight regardless if they like it or not.


This political cartoon shows all of the political leaders in Europe and Asia. The picture includes Queen Victoria who is giving Ottoman Von Bismark a scolding look. Then they include representative of Russia,France which lady liberty is used and Japan. The man in the back represent China and it seems to me that all of them are trying to get a piece of China. The pie sitting on the table represents the idea that they are dividing China up. The pictures portrays that they are desperate and will do anything to get there hands on a piece of China. I agree with the authors depiction I mean in life people will do anything in order to conqueror and or maintain land.
