From a political standpoint, the Americans and the British did not see eye-to-eye. In 1763, King George of Britain issued the Proclamation Line. The Proclamation Line was an imaginary line that separated the colonists from the Indians. The initial purpose of the Proclamation Line was to ensure that there was no conflict between the colonists and the Native Americans. The Indians to wanted this, only 20 years earlier.
Gladstone’s main goal was to pacify Ireland and he was the first British politician to tackle the unfair way in which Ireland was run. Firstly the Disestablishment of the Anglican Church in Ireland, removed a major grievance for the Irish people. As only 12% of the population were part of the Anglican Church, yet they still had to pay tariffs towards it, Gladstone felt this was wrong and unacceptable. He felt it was unfair on the people in Ireland, and there was need for action after the Nationalist Fenian activity in 1867. The terms of the Act meant the Church was disestablished and disowned, leaving it to govern itself.
The ‘peaceful’ methods used by the moderate leaders were not effective in making the British Government accept their demands. As a result a number of politically conscious people became frustrated and disillusioned. At the end of the 19th century, a strong feeling arose among the people that more radical political action was needed to force the British to accept popular demands. Indian National Congress The Indian national Congress was established to provide a platform where leaders from different parts of the country could come and discuss issues concerning India. The body would act as the loudspeaker of the demands of the people of the country.
A major difference was that Gandhi campaigned against unjust laws of the British government, while Martin Luther King Jr. campaigned for rights that "colored" people were already lawfully supposed to have. For instance, according to the U.S. government, all people, regardless of skin color, had the equal right of suffrage, but many racists refused to accept this and attacked non-whites when they attempted to vote. Gandhi fought British oppression with
At that time it was probably true. However in modern times, and within just a couple hundred years, the Principle of Separation of Powers has eroded away. The Principle of Separation of Powers is why the Legislative branch was split at the convention; unfortunately the founding fathers did not foresee how the Judicial branch could be used to promote the interests of an imperialistic few who took control of all branches through crony promotions and political
He failed to foresee the anger that both the Chinese labour issue and his refusal to reverse Taff Vale would cause amongst British working men. Balfour misunderstood working men’s reaction to the tariff reform campaign and he allowed Joseph Chamberlain to make the reform a key Unionist policy from 1903 onwards. In 1902 Balfour created the Education Act. This act roused the fury of the nonconformists in Britain and led to many of them reverting to the Liberal Party. Schools were to be funded from local rates, including religious schools.
This was very undemocratic as anybody should be able to become an mp if they so desire. By 1900 not many people had the right to vote, this was undemocratic because everybody should have the vote to make the voting system fairer. The reform act of 1867 made Britain more democratic because it gave the franchise to every male householder living in a borough constituency. This made Britain more democratic because more men had the vote. This doubled the number of men who could vote.
This law kept money in the empire but hurt the pockets of the wealthy colonists mercantilist that depended on the shipping trade. Then when the French Indian War ended the King made them keep the treaties that had been made with the Indians and refused the rich merchants the right to expand and claim more land. The war had also left England in debt as most wars do, so England called on the colonist to pay taxes to help with their own defense. They did not single the American colonist out they asked this of all of their subjects in all the colonies under English rule. So in 1767 England passed the Townshend Acts which included the Revenue Act of 1767, the Indemnity Act, the Commissioners of Customs Act, the Vice Admiralty Court Act, and the New York Restraining Act.
Civil wars. Australians did not want to be in civil wars, such as the civil war in America (1861-65). More than 600 000 lives were taken away in this fight between two sides of one nation, and this was just because of different races. Many Historians believe that the passion for 'White Australia' was the main reason for federation. Australians were making it very clear that they wanted to defend their colonies as a place for only white people.
It can be assumed, however, that Christianity would have continued to flourish in the Middle East and Asia if the Mongols who had invaded in the 12th century had not thoroughly converted to Islam by the 13th. Being more inclined to dominate rather than coexist, the Mongols had at first they set out to destroy any hint of Islam in the area. However, after their conversion, these Muslim Mongols became determined to bring about the destruction of the Christian population that had been vitally influential to the Asian and Muslim cultures for so many centuries. Small, rural populations of Christians would survive in China until the Ming Dynasty began in 1368 and the regime set out on a campaign to return China to its traditional beliefs and
