"I understand how our knowledge of the past is constructed through analysis of primary sources of many kinds."

A primary source is a document, speech, or other sort of evidence matter created or otherwise produced during the time it was under study. It offers historians a view of the past through that artifact. By this I mean that these sources were made during the period of which they illustrate or explain and help a historian understand what the topic the source portrays.

Propaganda of New Imperialism

This explains the Chinese imperialism in which Russia, England, France, Germany, Russia and Japan divided up China. This helps historians understand how China was part of the New Imperialism. This came from a website that seems geared toward giving people information about all of history.

This a picture of the New Imperialism moving to Africa. It helps us gain an understanding of the past and impacted us by showing that the New Imperialism expanded throughout the whole world. Africa was wanted by many countries and this country helps explain that.This picture came from a website that seems credible because it is an education site that have links to the Oswega School District meaning that it's probably an educational site.

Jewish prisoners evading British imperialists

This photograph shows Jewish prisoners from a Nazi concentration camp that evaded the British imperialists. This helps us understand life in the New Imperialism because European countries were known for their dominance and this is a prime example of it. This photograph came from a website that is involved in semitism and are also a .org or organization.

The maxim gun

This picture shows the first maxim gun. This is a photograph taken of that period. The maxim gun was pretty much a machine of today but this one was operated by two people. This can help historians what the maxim gun looked like and how the person shooting it was positioned. The website that I obtained this picture from was .org meaning that it is an organization. Also I researched so more and found out that this website is also a periodical.
