  14. 1) I think that it is three different groups, just kind of like the biggest fish (I think that it looks like Pac-man) is the highest part of society. The second one is like with the government or working for the king or something (the hat looks professional). The smallest fish is workers and people like that.

    2) I say that the people on the left are the common people and then soldiers or fighters. Then they are trying to stop other nations from transporting something. (Maybe they are transporting opium and then they are trying to get them to stop)

    3) In the picture it is Cecil Rhodes. He thought that Europeans were better than non-Europeans. He was an imperialist so it is showing that he wanted to conquer Africa and he is holding the railroad tracks which shows that he wanted to connect the places and then trade.

    4)Well the tiger on the side has the British flag on his coat, and then there is a kangaroo in the boat which shows that it is Australia.

    5) I think that it is showing that Great Britain is going to go into war with China. I think that those are cannon balls or bombs. Then China is going the peaceful route without weapons.

    6) It is showing that England is conquering the lands and it is showing all of the lands it has.
