In Document 2, it shows the Mughals deep Reliance on warfare to support themselves. This large military is what helped them become a major empire in the late 1500’s and early 1600’s. In Document 3, it shows that the respected military of the Turks deeply respect their militaries power. Though this document is from a Hapsburg Ambassador, he may have say fudged a little about how respectable they were, being they were trying to be on the good side of this powerful empire. A quote from another respectable empire, or slightly less biased power like a Chinese ambassador, would help truly show if the Turks had a merit system which solely used military strength as its judgment.
This is how the British ended up becoming an important empire in the In the North Atlantic and this made the empire to become successful in the military at that time. This made Britain to become the ruling empire in the north. The two main models of England’s colonies in the new world are; Proprietary colonies and self-governing colonies. Proprietary colonies are colonies in which individual or more British crows were given large tracts of land in new world to supervise and utilize them. Before the British acquired land the colonies were financed and established under jurisdiction of joint stock companies working under charters given by crowns.
How successful was Edward VI in restoring royal authority in the period to 1470? Edward IV enjoyed successes and also failures in restoring royal authority in the period to 1470. Edward had some successes in dealing with over mighty subjects, for example, his marriage to Elisabeth Woodville shows that he was not controlled by an over powering Warwick. This was important as it showed both Warwick and the rest of the country that he was not controlled by Warwick and could make his own decisions. Another way that Edward IV proved that he was not a ‘puppet king’ as Henry VI was seen as was by removing Warwick’s brother, George Neville, as chancellor.
The United States was now somewhat of an empire, albeit, not as great as the powers of Europe. However, despite the risks and punishment that America had to endure, this was the only way at the time to build the stepping stones for American prosperity. The United States was now engaged in the politics of Europe and the Far East. The war in the Philippines was also an unfortunate event that caused many Americans. However, I feel as though to do something great, you must venture somewhat into the unknown.
Spanish American War “The United States had no choice but to keep the Philippines after they won it in the Spanish American War,” is a valid statement. The reasons behind this are, the U.S. wanted to expand the navy by placing a naval station in Philippines in case of an emergency, they wanted to point the country towards a democratic government, and they wanted to modernize the nation. The Philippines became an independent nation on July 4, 1946.By placing a naval station in the Philippine would increase the U.S’s power over the water and be able to act quickly in case of an emergency. Also, trading could be done more and with better countries because new business opportunities would have been available to the U.S. By establishing a democracy for the Philippines, the country would grow stronger and eventually not even need the U.S to provide aid for them anymore. Through successful civilian administration, the Islands were modernized and the nation prepared for eventual independence.
Although Mercantilism largely served its purpose to enrich the parent country, during the 17th century this policy operated by England rather influenced its 13 colonies both negatively and positively, paving the way for resentment and Adam smith’s capitalistic society to present day. According to mercantilist doctrine, a nation should exercise full control of trade and production leading to a much more garnished and self sufficient economic system. In order to display full direct authority on its assets, English government put forth the acts of Trade and Navigation—that is in other words implying full control on imports/exports and certain goods that were only allowed to be exported to England itself. Although positive economic results would be seen through the perspective of England, these results would be overshadowed by more influential affects on the 13 colonies, politically and economically. Economically, England would directly govern its colonies via the Navigation Acts establishing three major rules.
With the foundation of a federal government, that government can regulate and maintain both domestic and international trade without individual state interference, therefore making the United States one of the most important trading countries in the western world. This is only one possible explanation, another might be that they honestly did purely want to build a government for the people of the United States and by the people, which is supported by Paul Johnson’s writings. Other debates between intentions lie behind the injection of United States into the Vietnam conflict. Some historians say that the reason for our entrance into the conflict was to protect democracy and stop the spread of communism. Others say that the U.S. involvement wasn’t to protect democracy but to protect our economic interests in the nearby South Pacific and Middle East.
Politically, the British introduced changes to India, such as saying that the Indians required to be civilized, and that British rule would remove Oriental despotism and anarchy and implement a reliable system of justice.Socially, when India was colonized, the English language quickly spread and the indigenous languages of the natives began to be wiped out.Economically, under colonial rule, India often depended on great Britain for such things as technological advances and manufactured goods. | 10. Siam, or today's Kingdom of Thailand, was the only country in Southeast Asia that remained independent of European control.The two African countries two remain independent of European control where Ethiopia and Liberia. | 11. The Europeans would still punish those that had already been brought into slavery.
Revolutionary Americans resented the economic restrictions, finding them exploitative. They claimed the policy restricted colonial trade and industry and raised the cost of many consumer goods. In his 1774 pamphlet, "A Summary View of the Rights of British America, " Thomas Jefferson asserted the Navigation Acts had infringed upon the colonists' freedom in preventing the "exercise of free trade with all parts of the world, possessed by the American colonists, as of natural right." Yet, as O. M. Dickerson points out, it is difficult to find opposition to the mercantile system among the colonists when the measures were purely regulatory and did not levy a tax on them. The British mercantile system did after all allow for colonial monopoly over certain markets such as tobacco, and not only encouraged, but with its 1660 regulation was instrumental in, the development of colonial shipbuilding.
The VOC’s biggest competiton was the British East India Company. The British succeeded in conquering India. The British abused the Indians so much that the Indian states revolted and the British government had to take over the country. The British and the VOC were rivals and were always fighting for control over spice trade. The Brits and Dutch signed a treaty in 1619, which allowed the British 1/3 of the spice industry and gave the Dutch the rest.
