    As the Reconstruction Era ended, the United States became the up and coming world power. The Spanish-American war was in full swing, and the First World War was well on its way. As a result of the open-door policy, England, Germany, France, Russia, and eventually Japan experienced rapid industrial growth; the United States decided to pursue a foreign policy because of both self- interest and idealism.

    Ancient Egyptians created many tools and structures with the help of people from all social classes. One of the most amazing structures of that time period was the Great Pyramid at Giza. Many people were involved in the building process of this pyramid. Document A and E both state that slaves were not the only ones involved in this long process of building the Great Pyramid at Giza. Document E tells us that around twenty-five percent of the workers were people of high status, and many peasants were required to help build this pyramid. It also tells us that the number of slaves that had helped build this pyramid is still a bit unclear. Considering the fact of how normal the idea of slaves was, it’s hard to believe none were involved whatsoever.
