Events in American History

1. Do you think the colonies had a good reason to declare independence? why?

I think that some colonies that have been threatened and forced in to the colony, and they had no outher choice, and if possible can declare Independence. The colonies that had to join the colony for various reasons, can declare independence when ever they feel like to.

2. Should one country be able to colonize another? When shoul a colony be granted Independence?

To colonize another country is only a good thing if you help the country, or they need help, but when they colonize a country for their own sake then it is bad.

3. The Bill of Rights guarantees Americans "the right to bear arms". Many Americans still feel this is important for personal safety and in case they need to revolt against their own government, They argue that the Minutemen and the local militias only won the fight for Independence beacause they had firearms. What do you think? Should everyone have the right to bear arms? All kinds of arms?

If you think about it, it is weird that an american can own an ak or a m4. More crime is committed in one night in LA than Scandinavia together. It is not safe, because more access to weapons means more crime, or shooting scens. 

4. If you were to present your nation's history in the same way as above, which events would you choose? Why?


List of historical events: The viking period: was from between 800-1100 AD, At the start of the Viking Period, Norway was not one united country, but many small kingdoms. Harald Fairhair (Harald Hårfagre) became king of a large portion of Norway in 872. The union between Denmark and Norway: During the 1300s Denmark gained more and more influence over Norway and, in 1397, Norway was absorbed into a formal union with Denmark and Sweden. The union was ruled by a common king. Sweden gradually seceded from the union, but Denmark and Norway remained united until 1814. The union was governed from Denmark. Copenhagen was the cultural centre of the union and Norwegians read and wrote in Danish. The plague: The black death came to Norway in 1349, in short time it had killed a third of the norwegian population. The Norweigan constitution: The Norwegian constitution was formed in 1814, and thus we broke free of the danish grasp. WW2: The natzi's invaded us in 9th of April 1940, and by that, Norway was drawn into the war.
