**In conclusion, the palace in the background reveals that the location of this portrait is India. The British soldiers and the Indian soldiers have all gathered to witness something.

 * I predict that in chapter 11 we will be studying countries dealing with imperialism. Countries such as Britain, Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

Great Britain already had a great amount of territory such as India and Australia in 1950 but it didn't stop imperializing. It was able to claim large amount of lands in the North and South Africa. The territory in South Africa came in handy since it was filled with diamonds.**
