Government -- Grade: B (Alison)

       The Great Zimbabwe is the empire that had built The Great Enclosure, this was a huge "assignment" they had to do. There had to of been some kind of administrative force to complete this task because they had to bring stone masons and other workers together. Also that the wall was a total of "800 feet long" and had "15,00 tons of granite blocks." The wall was "19.7 feet thick and 36 feet high" in most areas.
       Although there was some kind of administrative force, it didn't stay there for very long. "In 1890, British imperialist and colonizer Cecil Rhodes" "conquered a large portion of southern African and had the region named after himself." This means that Rhodes "claimed" the region his. The Europeans soon after started taking freedoms from the Africans of Zimbabwe by creating the image that they were not capable to produce The Great Enclosure by themselves.

       The government for the Kingdom of Zimbabwe receives a B. Before 1890, there was an administrative force that allowed the construction of the Great Enclosure. After 1890, when Cecil Rhodes conquered the area, the freedoms of the Zimbabweans began to diminish.
