From the 1450s to the 1750s, powerful empires including the Spanish maritime empire and the Russian empire rose. With these powerful empires also rose systems of forced labor. The Spanish empire grew to include the Americas, and the Russian Empire took control of territory lost to the Mongols prior to the 1750s. Both the Spanish settlers in the New World and the Russian Nobility needed labor for commercial purposes, but the encomienda system gave the settlers the right to demand labor from natives, whereas Russian serfdom were comprised of peasants who fell into debt and were forced to become laborers to the large estates owned by nobles to repay their debt. The intentions of both the encomienda system and system of Russian serfdom were the same, however, they differed in the foundation and functionality.

This is the term used when land was taken away from the nobility and given back to the king until the noble has earned it back. This benefitted the king as well as he would gain the profits from the land until the noble was given it back. Henry also used something called the Order of the Garter to praise his nobility, as opposed to throwing land and money at them. This was a title that effectively cost Henry nothing but it carried some honour with it. Some nobles (William Stanley) were unhappy with this reward as they saw it as an empty reward, they wanted land or money instead.

America was a land that was beginning all over again, dedicated to nothing much more complicated than the rather hazy belief that all men had equal rights and should have and equal chance in the world. In such a land Lee stood for the feeling that it was somehow of advantage to human society to have a pronounced inequality in the social structure. There should be a leisure class, backed by ownership of land; in turn, society itself should be tied to the land as the chief source of wealth and influence.

Mercantilists practiced heavy state regulation of economic activity in order to boost national wealth. The wealth of the nation was based upon its stocks of gold and silver, rather than on its peoples' living conditions, for example.
Before the British acquired land the colonies were financed and established under jurisdiction of joint stock companies working under charters given by crowns. The colonies were established to meet demand for territorial expansion by the British in addition to pay off political and economic debts incurred in the struggle for colonization. Pennsylvania, North and South Carolina, New York and New Jersey are some of the examples of these colonies (Kennedy, 1998). Self-governing colonies are ruled by a governor who is elected by the universal suffrage with normal control of the colony. The governor and other leaders have the right to make decisions without involving the colonial administration.
Lords and Daimyo (basically the same status) built castles for protection, and both the Knights and Samurai were depended on for military service by great landowners. Feudalism in Europe lasted from 800 to 1400, while in Japan it started in 1192 and lasted till 1868. . The codes of honor for both Knights and Samurai are different in that breaking these codes have severely different outcomes, though ethically, both codes of honor are very similar. Both the Samurai and the Knights have a duty to remain loyal to their leaders and keep peace within their respective nations. A Knight’s loyalty to his leader was generally based on a legal contract rather than moral obligation, like a Samurai has.
