Industrial Giant American manufacturing flourished for many reasons, for one new natural resources were discovered and exploited steadily, thereby increasing opportunities. These opportunities, in turn, attracted the brightest and most energetic and expanding population. The growth of the country added constantly to the size of the national market, and protective tariffs shielded that market from foreign competition. The foreign capitals entered the market freely, in part because tariffs kept out so many foreign goods. The first big business was railroads in 1886 by Charles Francis Adams, Jr.
The British introduced a parliamentary system of government to the Indians. As stated in document 3 by Romesh Dutt, “Englishman has given the people of India the greatest human blessing – peace.” They have introduced Western Education. This has brought an ancient and civilized nation in touch with modern thought, modern sciences, and modern life. This means that the British have positively affected India because they brought over their knowledge and educated the natives, which results in more skilled workers. They also modernized India with their economic system of Mercantilism, and their parliamentary form of government.
It was easier and quicker to be able to talk to other people or meet up with family. So overall new railroads did really help people socially. The next reason why the developments in transportation brought about social and economic change in the United States was because of all the different types of transportation. One of the new types of transportation throughout this time period were the steamboats invented by Robert Fulton. The steamboats really helped with trading goods with other countries.
These events caused what appears to be a strengthened Anglo-American relationship, and made it appear as ‘peaceful and harmonious’ however, there are other factors which must be considered by historians in order to solve this question. Speaking in terms of economics, it is likely that the relationship between the colonies and the mother country can be described as ‘peaceful and harmonious.’ Leading up to 1763, Britain had started to fully accelerate in the industrial revolution. This of course meant that Britain needed to Import lots of raw materials, and export a high quantity of manufactured goods. This was good for the American colonies, as it had a huge amount of raw material, and needed more manufactured goods, almost creating a perfect trade scenario between it and the mother country. In addition to this, the idea of mercantilism meant that American trade was protected by Britain, and this was advantageous as Britain was one of the strongest economic powers in the world at the time.
This meant faster transport and with the invention of the factories economic growth as well. As the economy grew then we capitalised, and as we invested in different things insurance was invented and so financial institutions were formed. Being a small island we had excellent communications so we can get an army together quickly and efficiently so this proved helpful in succeeding in military campaigns, as we were a powerful land force as well as a powerful naval force, such as the battle of
British had introduced to the colony many new manufactured goods, technology, education, means or transportation and most importantly, better and quicker ways of communication (Document 1). The colonies were educated the same way as the British and gained knowledge. This established developments of territories for building roads, building and telegraphs, as well as schools and newspapers for the colonies as well. The British they helped India in many kinds of ways; they developed types of communication ways, stopped the practice of killing girl babies in India called infanticide, and irrigation works was expanded and advanced the agricultural wealth of the country (Document 4&5). Not only did they westernized their education with modern sciences and modern life, but they also made a frame for the to establish laws and courts of justice (Document3).
Despite some advances and indications of stability, the aspects of East Germany that are considered to show instability carry far too much weight to be overlooked. Perhaps the greatest show of stability in this period was the economy. By putting a great emphasis on the importance and consequential growth of heavy industry in the GDR there was a huge increase in industrial production, which set the base for East German economic growth. Ulbricht raised quotas of industrial production by 55%, showing the power of heavy industry and its key role in improving the economy. Collectivisation of agricultural industry meant that required industrial quotas could be achieved, and produced a much more efficient and effective industry.
They would be able to establish schools and newspapers for the people of the colonies. The benefits of imperialism to the colonizer were natural resources, money, and land. They were also able to give these people the benefit of other blessings of civilization (Doc. 1). When the British colonized India, they had 40,000 miles of railway and 70,000 miles of paved roads.
I am going to argue whether the British Empire is something to be proud of or not to be proud of. Generally speaking the vast majority of British people of the last generation think that the British Empire is something to be fundamentally proud of, however some think that it is not something to be proud of. There are many reasons to be proud of the British Empire. One of those reasons is that the British Empire helped India’s infrastructure grow massively; they created 2300 miles of road and 2900 miles of railway. They also heightened the amount of schools from 170-2900.
In the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries European imperialism spread quickly throughout the world. British imperialism in India was a very good example of the imperialism of that time. The British already had a presence in India since the 1700’s with the British East India Company, so it was much easier to expand their control over India. British imperialism in India had numerous positive and negative effects on both Britain and India. There are many positive effects imperialism had on both Britain and India.
