The Metropolitan Police
and the City police didn't
work together
On the murder of Mary
Jane Kelly, they entered
thee room two hours later
after sniffer dog confusion
Didn't offer rewards for information
Used ludicrous methods -
Spiritualists, photos of dead
womens' eyeballs.
Not to Blame.
Limited Resources
Tried different approaches.
Heavily critisized by Royal family and Public
The consequences of the Ripper murders.
Charities
were set up to
help the East
End
Socialists found more supporters
Government sped
up slum house
clearance.
Trade Unions were set up
Slave Trade
The Trade Triangle
British traders looking for resources
to fund the Industrial Revolution, sail
to Africa with ships loaded with guns,
pots and pans and manufactured goods.
At Africa they then, exchange the goods
for slaves with African Tribe Leaders, the
slaves are then packed on ships to go to
America along the Middle Passage.
At America, the British sell the slaves to work
on plantations for sugar, cotton and other raw
materials, then go back home.

Acted as if it
were a present
Didn't think
about
radioactive
poisoning

America gave Japan
a chance to
surrender
Starvation, Invasion
Or Bomb. the Bomb
seemed Ethically
best.
