How Successful Were The Russian Governments In Promoting Economic Change And Modernisation Between 1881 and 1904? When Alexander III came into power, he made sure that industrialization was at the forefront of his plans. So under Vyshnedgradsky and Witte, various measures were imposed to help kick start industrialization, which led to significant economic change The improved transport system, which resulted from government investment in infrastructure like the railways, helped to vastly improve Russia’s economic situation. This is evident through the clear positive correlation between railway improvements and increases in Russia’s industrial output. The length of railway tracks in Russia increased form 31219 miles in 1891 to 58392 miles by 1904.
Economic factors were a chief motivation for colonization to European countries. Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany believed conquering primitive areas would help build up industry and agriculture. He also thought it could help build up a fleet of ships and is quoted “Our future lies upon the water.” (doc 1). Other leaders such as Jules Ferry of France saw these places as shelters, ports for defense, and provisioning (doc3). John Hobson, an English economist, saw imperialism as inevitable, for powers of production outpace consumption resulting in more profit for the mother country (doc 2).
Napoleon Bonaparte changed the world’s culture, spreading French revolutionary ideas throughout his empire. He created a book of laws (Le Code Napoleon), which gave France its first structured set of modern rules. The emperor also granted the people of his empire, freedom of religion, allowing everyone to believe in what they choose to be true. Finally the males of his empire were given equal rights allowing any male the right to gain wealth and power whether they are rich or poor. Napoleon Bonaparte improved culture in France setting the foundation for change in Europe, creating Frances first structured set of laws, allowing freedom of religion in his empire, and finally breaking the boundary that divided the social classes.
This city was known as Peter’s “window to the west” because it opened up many trading routes with other countries. Peter “The Great” died in St. Petersburg in 1725. He is buried at the Peter and Paul Cathedral. Peter “The Great” is the most responsible monarch for “westernizing” Russia. He made several different reforms to give more power to the central government and the Tsar, he promoted military, and he improved the Russian economy.
The Depression hit women, like other minority groups in American society, similarly harsh because of that payrolls of many communities and private companies were open only to males. The main role of women during the Great Depression was that of the homemaker. Some women had gone through college level education and, like their male counterparts, were having a difficult time of finding employment. Those with families had the task of keeping their family together, as the traditional view of motherhood role, when the principle moneymaker of the family was out of work. However, some women joined the work force and would do jobs that men previously had held.
Background Observation of the existing technology made over the last five years. In my first year at FHS, there were three computer labs that were used by seniors and juniors. During the next four years, four more computer labs were added, one of which was used for a ninth grade business class. This year the technology coordinator for FHS is in the process of setting up two ninth grade computer labs, one for English and one for math. With the news labs the ninth graders should finally be able to have technology integrated into their daily
They also dressed the Hawaiians and basically taught them how to act, dress, and talk like Americans. This meaning that, because we have so much power in our hands by this time, we simply annexed the island of Hawaii without having to go to war and making it complicated. The establishment of the sugar trade with the Hawaiian islands created a sitiuation of economic independence. In order to counter any sort of native assistance, the Bayonet Constitution was established, stripping the Hawaiian king of his powers and effectively diminishing democracy in the Hawaiian Islands and the indigeneous community. Waves of Japan came to the islands increasing numbers to work in the sugar trade.
The Introduction to Reform in the United States The United States was introduced to reform, by all documented accounts, in the late 19th century through the early 20th century. In the late 1800’s, the first type of reform that was introduced in the United States was the formation of many major progressive organizations and groups that were created by citizens that independently united and rallied for reform. A couple of the more recognizable groups that were created were The Women’s Trade Union League formed by workingwomen in 1903 and they encouraged unionization, and in 1904 the National Child Labor Committee was formed to abolish child labor in factories. Reform was introduced on a national level when President McKinley was assassinated
This issue of national security as a root for imperialism was mentioned in Henry Cabot Lodge's "Our Blundering Foreign Policy." Religious reasons also propelled imperialism. Missionaries sought to convert the inhabitants of foreign lands by convincing them that, "what we have is better." It's a new zeal that actually got the imperialism ball rolling. In fact, missionaries made the first contact with Hawaii in the 1850s to Christianize the islands, and at this time we learned of its perfect sugar-growing
Eventually people developed new arts, culture and economic enterprises. Eventually, by the end of the nineteenth century, India fell under British control but used their imperial power to pursue its independence. China suffered a huge decline from their position as the Central Kingdom. All of the Pacific Islands became parts of migration and colonialism. Japan got off of Western Imperialism and got into equal terms with the west.
