Different Beliefs of the Ibo people and the White men

When the white men first came, the Ibo people were scared and worried, but not as worried as they should have been. They didn't really know what was going on and what these white people were doing in their area. In Abame, they killed the first white man who came but then they were wiped out when the next group of white men came. They were worried about this white man so they tried to protect themselves but instead, they just hurt themselves. I think because of what happened to this town, many other villages are scared to fight back against the white men because they don't want the same thing to happen to them. The Ibo people didn't know what was going on so they didn't know how to react. When the white men come, they know that they are more powerful than the Ibo people. Because they are the "attackers," if you will, in this situation and the Ibo people are the "defenders," the Ibo people are already at a disadvantage. The white men came to the Ibo people knowing all their intentions, while the Ibo people were blindsided. Even the white men had interpreters, which gave them even more of an advantage. They come to the Ibo people knowing all well that they would win the fight, if it ever came to it. The white men came to the Ibo people like they were little kids in the playground. They knew that these people were less advantaged and advanced, and they used this in their attack. Because they know that they are "better" than the Ibo people, they treat them like they're dogs. In jail, they beat them and treat them very poorly. The British are the main brains in this operation. They are the ones who sent the missionaries. They knew the state of living that the Ibo people possess so they see it as an area where they could prosper. The British are advanced compared to the Ibo and they know this so they use it to their full advantage. The British come to try to fix the Ibo's way of life and make it like their own, which is the best of all.
