Do you agree with the view that the main cause of the Anglo-Irish conflict of 1919-21 was nationalist extremism? To an extent, it can be argued that the main cause of the Anglo-Irish conflict was nationalist extremism. Hepburn (S7) particularly addresses this argument as he assesses the 'blood sacrifice' as 'rapid' and 'deliberate', supported by S9, which describes the Irish Volunteers being entitled to use 'all legitimate methods of warfare if necessary' . However it can also be argued that the fault lay with the British government's ignorance and misunderstanding of Ireland and the Irish people, as Medlicott (S8) points out that the limits of what Britain would offer was ' firm' and that Irelands armed forces were a 'dangerous weapon', which in turn, combined with their violent reprisals towards the IRA, alienated many of the Irish public, and deepened the Irish Conflict as well as being arguably, as much of a 'main cause' of the conflict as extreme nationalists. S7 also highlights the importance of the conscription crisis, which can be argued to be a result of British ignorance, or the manipulation and stirring up by the revolutionary party Sinn Fein which also had a key role in the conflict.
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.
The Chinese government got really upset so they confronted the British government and this started the Opium war starting in 1899 till 1902. The British didn’t see this as a problem; they crushed the naval forces and in all won the battle. The British had complete control besides the fact that they were corrupting china with opium they also built a colony named Hong Kong. This is a prime example of what I was saying on how the British abused their power. Another major part of European imperialism was the colonization or as I call it the torture of Sudan, in Africa.
However, as the empire split into four the scholars were split to different nations and culture which effectively affected the method of political power because Golden Horde was severely influenced by the Islamic teachings and the Khan of Golden Horde was converted to Islam. Yuan dynasty had completely different methods of political power because they were usig Confucius methods of life style. One continuity from 1200 to 1500 CE was tribute from defeated nations to Chinggis Khan than to four khanates. When Chinggis Khan conquered different empires, he demanded tributes from each defeated town or city leading to a tribute system. This lead to many cities and towns paying because of the retribution for not paying was too high.
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). The British built a strong and efficient administration ran the government for the Indians, deciding that they would not be able to run their government properly, became a problem later for India. Imperialism may have been a positive force for India in many ways, but the economic gain benefitted
The Sultan, the pashas, Hoja, and the janissaries all wanted a Muslim world with good relations with other religions minus the Christians. It was the misunderstanding of Muslims by Christians and Christians by Muslims that fueled the fire in this conflict. With the Muslims caught up with religion and not making technological advances a priority they fell to the overpowering European empires which they try to destroy. It was these misunderstandings and oppressions that brought the Ottomans to a halt but the relation that only the Hoja and the young scholar made and finally understood at the end is what draws us in to know that at least these two could co-exist without religion getting in the
• As a result of the Salmon report they recognised they should control the immigration leading to them introducing the commonwealth immigration act 1962 to control immigration into Britain. Many people saw it as being racist as it would restrict entrants of their ethnic origins. • The Labour party opposed the Commonwealth Immigration act but in 1968 imposed their own. Both parties accepted they needed to limit the number of foreigners allowed to immigrate to England. As a result of the Immigration act the two years before it was put into place people fled to England in a hurry which led to many people wanting a full block of the number of those entering.
Prior to the Indian wars, Europeans saw themselves as being the elite race. Both cultures had better education and believed to be the more dominate force. It took an act of terror to help each race to open their eyes to a bigger picture. Once they had seen such devastation, they would now realize and fear the unknown. Such terror and horror brought fear and unity.
Imperialism is the act of an empire taking rule over foreign countries. Imperialism had both positive and negative effects on India. During the 1700’s the British East India Company took advantage of other countries’ natural resources such as India’s (India: British East India Company). The company also wanted to control countries’ markets which they could do through imperialism. The British East India Company had successfully imperialized India by taking advantage of India’s political rivalries at the time, pushing the religious differences in India to create further religious tensions, and taking over little parts of India at a time.
In both these sources the weight of the evidence suggests greatly that that religious differences provided the main cause for the Indian mutiny of 1857, whereas source 3 argues that the caste system was the main cause of the munity however this does link in with religious difference and the weight of this source is not as strong as it was written before the mutiny even happened. So overall sources 1 and 2 most strongly agree with the hypothesis while source 3 suggest it greatly contributed to the mutiny, however ultimately we can infer from all three of these sources that religious differences where the most significant cause of the mutiny in
