The Rise of Islam 600-1200 A. Origins of Islam How did nomads gain Money? What made caravan trade more powerfully dominant? Why did Mecca become such a prosperous city so fast? The Arabian people lived exclusively in the Arabian Peninsula and on desert fringes of Syria, Jordan, and Iraq.
There were many factors that helped the growth of The British Empire such as early settlers and trading companies, however the Navigation Acts rapidly accelerated the success of the trading companies therefore expanding The British Empire. The Navigation Acts were a set of laws that kept trade in the hands of the British; this gave them ultimate power over most trade and gained them a lot of wealth and thus success. Government and war played a significant role in the growth of the British Empire which gave them more power such as the EIC winning a number of sea battles against the Dutch which granted another firmum which gave the company more effective trading. Trading companies helped the growth of the British Empire, as without these, there would have been no income, meaning Britain couldn’t gain more land and secure more footholds. The trading companies played a significant role in triggering the Navigation Acts, but it was the acts themselves that put trade in the hands of the British.
Their control over major cities and thus access to more weapons therefore lead to the Communist victory in the Civil War. Their geographical position also meant that the red army could communicate and coordinate effectively. Cities like Moscow and Petrograd also included most of Russia's railway network. The control over the railway network was a major advantage to the Bolsheviks as it meant that they could quickly and efficiently transport troops to where they were needed and could distribute munitions to the fronts (the troops had more access to weapons). It also meant that the Bolsheviks were able to conduct a defense of their central position and initiate any opposing attack.
The Mongols amazing military strategy also played a part in their success. How the Mongols ruled conquered people also allowed them to grow their empire faster and more efficiently. As shown in Documents 1 and 2, the Mongols were very smart in how they conquered people. They used strategies and tactics that were unfamiliar to the people that they were conquering. Document 1, was written in the 13th century and is written from oral stories of the Mongols.
The result is that events occurring thousands of miles away can now have an almost immediate impact on us. Globalisation has many causes, some of them are; communications technology, mass media and cheap air travel. Held et al suggest the globalisation of crime has led to an increasing interconnectedness of crime across national borders; this has brought about the spread of transnational organised crime, creating new opportunities for crime and new means of committing crime. For example the computerisation of financial markets enables vast amounts of capital to be transferred each day from one side of the world to the other, with sometime devastating effects on national economies. Also, Manuel Castells (1998) argues because of globalisation there is a globalised criminal economy worth £1 trillion.
It did this by travelling all of the seas and fighting and other ships that threaten them. Not only did this stop the enemy getting to our land, but by defeating lots of ships and countries, it showed Britain’s status and how much power we had. The Navy also helped secure trade routes. Because it had so much power of the seas and could dominate a vast amount of docks and lands, it made it very easy for England to do business with other countries. Also, because of our vast numbers, it was very easy to dominate docks and countries ports.
Mercantilist legislation passed to expand ports such as Liverpool and Glasgow ensured more exports and imports could be carried out due to the new size and sophistication of the ports = extends trade, revenue and wealth, more funds for war and overseas domination Para 2: Trading companies also played a part in the expansion of empire but could not have flourished without mercantilism. * Trading companies created links with governments abroad - EIC relationships with the Moguls in India lead to them being granted a firmum allowing them
Altogether, British Economic policy was a perfect mix of both salutary neglect and enforced protocol to spur a large amount of growth in British North America, doing so not only through just the Navigation Acts and Salutary neglect, but also the order in which they introduced new laws and regulations. The Navigation Acts were a series of laws published from 1651 to 1733 which mostly prohibited trading between the British colonies and other nations, such as the Dutch, French, and Spanish. The most early of these were not awfully harmful, and promoted independence of outside goods within the colonies. For example, the Navigation Act of 1663 required goods made in British America to be shipped through England before being sold elsewhere, something which benefited both economies. The Molasses Act of 1733, however, was much more impactive to the colonists, putting a duty of precisely “the Sum of Nine pence ... for every Gallon thereof ” (Sugar and Molasses Act of 1733) on imported sugar from the West Indies.
The Reasons Of Why Islam Spread So Quickly The main reasons of Islam spread so quickly in the 7th and 8th century are because of the Muslims were unified together at the time, and some nearby empires, such as Byzantine became weaker as a result of war and diseases, and also Muslims showed religious tolerance to the non-Muslim people. After Muhammad died in 632, Abu Bakr became the first caliph means the rightly guided. For the next two years, he applied the jihad in order to pacify the revolt in the Islam world. However, during the process of jihad, Abu Bakr and the next three elected caliphs -Umar, Uthman, and Ali expanded the territory to the east to the Indus River and to the west through North Africa to Spain. That’s how Islam began to spread.
rowing fast Islam, a religion that was for centuries believed to have been 'spread by the sword' is currently the fastest growing religion in the United States and in the world. Adherents to the Islamic faith number 1.2 billion worldwide. And growing… In the United States, where Muslims number over six million, the Islamic faith has in many estimates surpassed Judaism and is believed to be the second largest religion in America after Christianity. While part of the rise in the population of Muslims in the United States is due to immigration, the phenomenal growth of Islam in the past 10 years has come from an increasing number of Americans converting to Islam from other religions. Muslim leaders estimate that half the number of American converts to Islam come from the African-American community.
