Unit 6-Imperialism
“Whatever happens, we have got The Maxim gun, and they do not”. Hilaire Belloc
My absolute favorite unit. Here we are going to see Europe take that technology and expand and control the world. New fighters appear like the United States, Russia, Germany, and Japan that rise up and challenge the old dogs of England, Spain, and France. Can not forget about the racial theories that spawn either! What a wild ride.
