Why did Republican Stalwarts support Taft over Theodore Roosevelt in 1912?
The Republican Party were initially attracted to Roosevelt's charismatic energy and appealing attitude. Roosevelt was passionate about many progressive issues, such as conservation and social justice, however, and became so progressive to the point that he began to displease the more conservative, GOP members. In addition, Taft was the incumbent president and party leader, giving him leverage over Roosevelt, and ultimately earning him the Republican nomination. As a result of this rejection, Roosevelt formed his own political party - the Progressive (Bull-Moose) party.
The Cathedral of Notre Dame is famous because it was the first structure to be built with flying buttresses, which are masonry bridges that place the main weight of a vault or a roof onto an outer support. The use of the flying buttress allowed the builders of the cathedral to achieve a great height. With its elaborate ornamentation and stained-glass windows, Notre Dame became the model for the Gothic style of architecture, which was popular in northern Europe from the twelfth century until the sixteenth century.
What were the positive and negative effects of imperialism on Latin America?
The positive effects would now in hindsight be seen as subjects for much debate. But at the time the new colonies - mostly in Africa - were seen as places where especially Great Britain, France, Germany and Belgium could bring 'civilization' and Christianity, that could provide them with raw materials, that could be a market for their products and that would generally add to the glory and respect that these European countries commanded.
The negative effects were at the time, that the so-called 'race for Africa' caused friction between European countries. Another negative effect was caused by the randomly drawn borders of newly created African countries which did take little or no account of tribal relations and tensions. Moreover, the European rulers often favored members of minority tribes to help them govern the countries, which, after independence, led to tribal tensions and bloodshed when other tribes also wanted a share of power: think of the Hutu-Tutsi struggles in Rwanda or the tensions between the Kikuyu and other tribes in Kenya.
In the middle east, European imperialism led, on the one hand, to economic development (Saudi Arabia before 1930 was mostly empty desert, peopled by nomadic tribes living from breeding and selling camels and income from hajj pilgrims to Mecca) but also to the tense relations that still exist between countries like present-day Israel, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Iran.
