The religion spread very quickly because of four main reasons, the military, trading, the religious appeal, and the order it gave. The first was Islam spread so quickly was because of the military. As document D states the muslims were not allowed to attack each other which made they unite into one army and then raid other non muslim communities to spread their new religion quickly. These raids quickly turned into something else as the entire Middle East was being attacked by the Muslims. These raids spread the territory from the Middle East, to Africa, and finally to Spain (Document C).
This rapidly increased the population and the government knew that this would cause radical ideas to spread faster amongst the people, therefore threatening the government. This fear of both the French and the Industrial Revolution caused the government to become very repressive in the years 1815 to 1820, forcing Liverpool to introduce policies like Habeas Corpus and the Six Acts which discouraged the people from the idea of revolution. The third reason why Liverpool’s government followed reactionary policies is because of the economic depression after the war. The government was in severe depression after borrowing a lot of money during the war with Napoleon. Therefore, they abolished income tax and introduced indirect tax which took tax directly from items like bread or clothes.
Western Civilization leads in categories of politics, economics, science and technology and in each category the West gained efficiency and effectiveness. It is seen by many people that Columbus used his power to conquer the people of the new world and commit genocide and slavery but at the same time Columbus brought knowledge to these people and enabled them to become as powerful as Western Civilization. Over time, Western Civilization has faced adversity but like Columbus, they have done whatever was necessary to keep expanding Western influence. The article also clarifies the debate over Columbus because it shows that Columbus cannot be looked at as good or bad; Columbus has to be looked at as an admiral, who took necessary action in the new world to keep Western Civilization on top. If Columbus had not taken the actions that he did, the people of the new world may have overthrown him and the western influence and that could have changed the world as we know it forever.
The success of their colony leads not only other puritans to leave England but also people of other religions and backgrounds who were also fed up with the crown. They showed how regular people could leave and prosper in America. This part of his speech was even mentioned in Ronald Reagans inaugural address stating that the United States of America was a city on a hill for the rest of the world to watch and that the action that they take in the years to follow will greatly affect
This religious schism meant that the Muslims were often much more willing to ally against one another then with each other; for example by 1098 the Crusaders held an alliance with Egypt against the Turks. It also meant that Islam had no counter against the notion of ‘crusade’, a jihad was impossible with such disunity. When we combine their effect in the Crusader states in the future such as in 1187 we find this significant. This disunity was not helped by the power vacuum at the time, 1054 was often described by historians “as the year of deaths of sultans and caliphs”, such was the disunity that in
Hunter Donahue 1/11/10 Prd.4 During the early Modern Era, many Islamic empires raised to power, for example the Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals. These empires rose to power with their strong military and wealthy economy, but lacked a respectable government and an equal social structure, which later lead to the fall off their economies. This shows the gunpowder empires lack of a dependable infrastructure, through its abusive politicians and inequality between social classes. On the other hand, it also shows the gunpowder empires great militaristic strength, as well as the economic support it provides, and without that support it falls apart slowly overtime. The one true strength the gunpowder empires had, was its warfare.
20. The expansion began with Muhammad traveling from mecca to medina. He was able to expand his empire because of muhammads 4 rightly guided caliphates which taught people to act good and defend their country and because of the muslims offering opportunities to persecuted people. Muhammad later came back to Mecca and took over the people inhabiting it. He then built a vast and prosperous empire.
This was one of his greatest feats because they became a force to be reckoned with. The increased military provided more than security for the nation but allowed them to expand. Other reforms included the increase of trade through changing the no foreign trade policy to becoming world sea trade center and his reforms that set in motion the application of western mercantilism to stimulate agriculture, industry and commerce which helped to make him a remembered as a great leader. His active foreign policy was meant to increase contact between foreign countries all while battling in a war that would not conclude for twenty-one years. I think that although Peter the Great had some controversial reforms, in the areas of religion, fashion, and social laws I believe that his most successful attempts to westernize Russia were the reorganization of the government, the establishment of the army and navy, increasing of trade, and active foreign policy; making him the greatest tsar’s in Russian
Why? Muslims were not allowed by the Qur’an to attack other Muslims. However, they were allowed to conduct ghazu raids against pagans, which helped increase their territory (Doc D). The ghazu raids, which began against non-Muslims in Arabia, soon expanded into full-blown military campaigns across the Middle East, North Africa and even into Spain (Doc C). The military success of the Muslims greatly helped increase the area they controlled and boosted their ability to fight off others who might want to harm them.
Numerous wars were fought over trade, because of the great profit it brought to the land. The Crusades were not just holy wars, but they also aimed to take one of the largest trading centers and routes in the world. Trading and the City: Merchant and traders were not part of the medieval feudal society, yet they had great influence in it. As trade developed, towns along the trade routes became richer and richer. Some developed into great cities, such as Paris, France.
