Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
The Empire Strikes Back is the second installment of the Star Wars Trilogy. George Lucas decided on creating another Star Wars episode after A New Hope was such a hit. In my opinion it's the most boring of the three, but still interesting. The special effects aren't as intriguing as they were in the last movie, but still better then most Sci-Fi movies at the time.

The Empire Strikes Back: France and Ivory Coast
There are very good reasons French colonies disliked their master state. The basis of French imperialism was that all things within the empire must be as French as possible. During the 1950s when the anti-colonial movement began, many French colonies seized the opportunity to gain independence. Unfortunately these new states slid into dictatorships since centralized authority was the only model of government they knew. Now that legacy clashes with its old rulers.
