Collectivisation was introduced by Mao in 1958, in 1958 production rate of food was at 200 million tonnes, but by 1960 the production rate had fallen to 143.5 million. Within 2 years one of Mao’s own policies had caused a fall in production rate of 56.5 million. Despite the figures Mao insisted that many peasants were growing more food than necessary and keeping some for themselves, Mao accused the peasants of being ‘inherently capitalist’ and that they were against being a part of a communist state. The policy of collectivisation contributed hugely to the scale of the famine; the peasants resented the change as they didn’t have enough land to farm their crops, on top of this the authorities believed that they needed to be ‘strictly controlled and directed’. This attitude towards the peasants amplified the issues of collectivisation and caused scale of the famine to worsen.
In order to avoid fight between the American colonists and Native Americans, Great Britain passed the Proclamation Act of 1763, creating a boundary beyond which colonists could not settle. In 1764 Great Britain passed the Sugar Act of 1764. The Sugar Act strictly enforced the tax on molasses importation, extended the tax to cover “sugar, certain wines, coffee, pimiento, cambric and printed calico”, and increased regulations on lumber and iron exportation. The Act almost caused the colonies rum industry to decline and significantly harmed the colonies economy by reducing their markets and the amount of currency. The Stamp Act of 1765 was another attempt to control the colonies and raise revenue, this time solely to support British troops in the colonies.
The papacy therefore had a strong vested interest in the failure of the conciliarist movement and therefore avoided convening a general council. Even when Julius II had convened a general council, Lateran V it was disbanded in 1517 as conciliarist feelings ran high. The papacy was arguably the biggest block to reform because in order for reform to successfully take place it had to come from the top of the hierarchy. Even when Paul III had decided to convene a general council there was still opposition to reform because there was no agreement on which way reform would take place, would the Church compromise with the Protestants or not. Paul III and Charles V had vastly different expectations of the council; Charles V hoped that the general council would end the schism by removing abuses which both protestant and Catholics had complained about for so long – Charles was convinced that the removal of these abuses would stem the tide of defection from the Church.
Between 1785 and 1829, the cultures of Native Americans were greatly changed by American territorial expansion. Attempted reforms made by whites to change the Native American ways greatly altered their culture and way of living while expansion led to the loss of Indian land. American settlers attempted to reform the Native Americans by introducing them to Christianity and their reaction was "we only want to enjoy our own" religion (C). The Native Americans agreed that together that this could not be imposed on them without full consent by stating "any sale not made by all is not valid"(D). They believed that "the white people have no right to take the land from the Indian, because they had it first; it is theirs"(D).
RELIGION IN AMERICA – MIDTERM REVIEW Cultural misunderstandings in the encounter between Native American religions and Colonial missionaries - Native Americans thought they were themselves guests of the land so how could anyone say you own the land. - When the Europeans came to the New World they wanted to enforce Christianity on the Native Americans. The Church and priests took this as they were converting. But converting means changing your ways and the Native Americans would not change their spiritual lifestyle. The two groups went to war and the Native Americans targeted and killed many priests.
Now that the war is over my hope of life returning to normal is over. The government is saying that we have surrendered our right to our land with the defeat of the British. I fear my tribe will be hunted down or thrown out of our lands. The government is trying to avoid war with us they do not see us as threats as of now, more of nuisance. They have proven considerable enemies with their fire weapons and numbers.
The Fordney McCumber Tariff of 1922 was a law introduced in the United States with the purpose to protect American farms and factories from foreign exports. The tariff however only made the situation that farmers were already facing worse. The tariffs meant that foreign exports to the United States were extremely expensive and therefore if Americans opted not to buy foreign goods the Foreigners would make less money from their foreign exports and therefore have less money to spend on U.S food. The result of this was a severe agricultural crisis faced by farmers across the American
The colonists started to create a paper money system to help the economy, but Britain outlawed this. This hurt the economy in the Colonies and led to many protests. Because of these acts, the colonists started to protest by refusing to import British goods, which hurt the British economy. 1765—The Quartering Act: The Quartering Act required the colonies to provide food, supplies and shelter to British troops.

Their rule resulted into poor conditions of the agriculture and farmers, exploiting Indian market for their own benefit and killing the domestic home made industries. 5. Indians differed from British Settlers in the fact that they were nomads while the British people believed in setting up cities. 6.
The staggering amount of food waste makes one wonder, “Why so much?” The fact that America is a wasteful country is almost enough in itself, but that may also lead to the question, “Why are Americans such wasteful people?” America is a very fast-paced country as well as an over- populated one. The massive increase in people raise the demand for food higher than it’s ever been, faster than it’s ever been, only to have most individuals not have enough time or room in their stomachs to finish the meal he or she cooked or bought. Americans buy more food than necessary and don’t put leftovers in the fridge because there will always be “more where that came from”. Is it just that Americans are too lazy? Or is it that we have such an abundance of food there is no need to be conservative over buying too much at the grocery store (or fast food joint) or saving that last handful of leftover pasta?
