History, Discussion

Hello,
 I need you to read the attached article, and watch this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWDHlbb5fxE

Then answer the following questions:

1) Why did a new and increasing reliance on coal in the eighteenth and nineteenth century generate continued or new colonial expansions? 

2) What methods coal workers (miners, transporters, etc.) employ to forge a new kind of collective democratic power. 

3) Why were oil workers were ultimately not as successful as coal workers in securing greater democratic participation in the conditions of their labor? 

4) What does "Oil for Dollars" reveal about the nature oil politics in the mid-twentieth century, and how, according to Mitchell then, has that politics informed the more recent past - particularly the relationship between the US and governments in the Middle East?

Each question must be answered in 6-8 sentences. Only use the article and video that I have given you, no other sources.
