Also the document presents the triumphs and tragedies of the epic struggle on a continent placing them in a larger context in France and Great Britain global conflict. The book also offers an insight on the nature of Native Americans opposition in the evolution of American Independence. As soon as French presence disappeared, white colonists started moving aggressively in Indian territory creating even more instability in the region for Britain. The wars were so weak fought inside and outside the American continent. It created social, economic along with cultural and ethnic borders and relations reshaping its state borders due to the American Independence War fought by the Spanish, British or France.
The American Revolution was a result of the colonists unrest caused by their abhorrence towards their British Mother Country. For several centuries the colonies had been subject to rule by the English Crown and it’s Parliament. They no longer wanted to be controlled by a country an ocean away, and in turn sought independence. A huge factor in the start of the American Revolution was the French and Indian War that changed the age-old bond between the colonies and England. Decades of conflict followed, starting with the revolt as a result of the Stamp Act in 1765, leading to the eruption of war in 1775.
When the French and Indian War broke out between the British and the French, Britain hoped to use the colonies as an extra source of wealth to fight the war. As the area for war expanded from India to North America, the cost of the war increased dramatically. This lead Britain to impose new forms of taxes such as the stamp act which put a tax on legal documents and the sugar act which put a tax on sugar (which at the time was a commonly used product used in the colonies), and new regulations like the navigation acts, to prevent the colonies from trading with foreign nations. The colonies did not agree with Britain’s imposition of the new laws as they were not fighting the war. The colonists believed that they should have separate laws from Britain because they are not directly represented in parliament.
British Imperialism- CEW Imperialism is a policy in which a strong nation (Great Britain) seeks to dominate weaker countries (India) politically, economically, and socially. Around the 1700’s, the British came to India due to economic interests in India. Before the arrival of British, the Mughal Empire had started to collapse. This made the arrival of British to India easier. During the occupation of British in India, they made a lot of profits due to the abundant resources in India.
This debt was further accentuated by her involvement in the American Revolution from 1775, and the government continued spending more than they were receiving in taxes. This ensured that by 1788, the royal treasury was empty. This forced heavier taxes upon the 3rd estate, such as the hated gabelle, which angered them as this level of taxing was not enforced upon the higher estates, despite the fact that they had more money. However, the 3rd estate faced graver problems than this as, from 1788 – 1789, a series of bad weather events resulted in bad crops. This was a devastating blow to France as the
Mary Jiang For what reasons did war break out between the great powers of Europe in August 1914? World War One was a huge conflict sparked in 1914 and lasting until 1918 between the world's greatest powers as two opposing sides; the Central Powers and the Allies. It was a chain of events that had started this war which consist of key features such as alliances, imperialism, a growing sense of militarism, nationalism & the Crises. It was the result of these accumulating factors that had eventually evoked war. The effects of the war included 8.5 million deaths, higher taxes, rationing of food and other products, a propaganda war, and famine.
The first Stuart King of England was King James I. He shaped the way between relations of the monarchy and Parliament. Most of these issues faced with Parliament were over finances and where they needed to fund certain things, this created tension between the two. This caused an increase in taxes because the British Empire needed more money to keep itself afloat because it was in war. King James I did however reflect British policy in the colonies by recognizing that Virginia was in fact a royal colony.
As time went on, the Spanish had so much money that inflation began to occur. There was not enough available supply of goods and services in demand for the rising prices and currency was happening. The Spanish French, and Dutch all began to explore more of North America to compete with each other for wealth, control over territory, resources, and domination of trade with the Indians as well as the Indians themselves as allies or slaves. The constraints on which the choices of colonists placed on administrative policies were due to corruption. As layers of bureaucracy developed over the centuries, so did the inefficiency and corruption within government operations.
Because of this the Russians mood turned from patriotic to uncontrolled anger as the war lead to increased fuel and food shortages which increased prices and more importantly they could see more clearly how incompetent the government were, which made them start to ask questions and want things to change, which can be seen to start the uprising of the revolution as they started to doubt the tsar and started to move to the liberals. The Russo- Japanese war does tie into the most important factor which has an argument which shows that it is the main factor for the start of the revolution is the political causes. This was more important than the Russo- Japanese war because although
The Arms race was a long term cause of World War 1 because it caused tension across Europe. Each country in the alliance system was re-militarising there selves, we know this because overall Germany, Britain and Russia spent £175 m on ships (Dreadnought) and Germany’s industrial production was bigger than Britain’s so they could make more weapons, this meant they must have been trying to get the biggest army and navy and planning to go to war at any time. This is a cause of World War 1 because there was a lot of tension in Europe because of theses 2 super armies from both alliances keep concerning each other when one Empire gets bigger than the other, and they would be happy to go to war at any time to gain more land for their Empire. Competition over colonies to gain countries to expand countries Empire was a long term cause of World War 1. In 1870 there was a “scramble for Africa”.
