Imperialism

In my opinion the impact was not unlike the impact in other countries. Let me say to begin with that there are many excellent things in Kenya that have ties to imperialism, so what follows should be heard in that context.

The most significant impact is the concept of "superior/inferior" cultural roles in society. While it is true that there where people who thought themselves better than others before the British, the imperial assumption that money was the ONLY power and that economies of greater wealth were therefor superior cultures and that it followed that all cultural characteristics of this "superior culture" were therefor superior. This is the legacy of imperialism. The exploitation of natural resources to the benefit of Europe and not Africa is only a part of the story. The systematic destruction of health care, political, education, and social welfare systems in favor of a model that was not well suited for the new culture. But it all goes back to the cultural characteristics, and all systems reinforced this model so that the lasting and pervasive impact continues to this day.

The Spanish Armada was when a huge navy of Spanish ships went over to England and got crushed: by mother nature mostly. It was devestating to the Spanish.

It was the number 1 boost to their navy & army's ego. Although the war with Russia taught them that they didn't necessarily want to fight them again (thus the treaties signed just before WWII). But it was enough success, to show themselves that they could compete with any navy or army.

The Massachusetts Bay colony, founded in 1628 in the area of present-day Boston, was established officially to open a trade center in the New World that could reward investors with the profit of having direct access to New World goods brought to English markets. Below the surface, however, the colony served as an opportunity for Puritans to practice their beliefs without critical or controlling interference from English authorities.

Not Really, the British occupied Afghanistan 3 separate times but they couldn't keep a hold on it. Colonization is not occupation, Colonization is a whole different ball game. Colonization occurs when the people submit to the will of the occupiers. There is no British symbol left in Afghanistan. They did not build any railroad systmens like they did in India and Pakistan, Afghanistan does not have a British form of government like they have in India and Pakistan. They do not have English as the national Language like Pakistan and India. When the British left Afghanistan on 3 separate times, they were forced out with no negotiation. The Afghans are known to be fiercely against occupation and at the same time to be the most hospitable people int he world. It is rooted in their culture. Historians have only stated that the only people that conquered Afghanistan were the Mecedonians. Alexander the Greats symbols are still visible after 2000 years later. Kandahar is named after him. Can you name a city that was named after a British officer or any other symbol that is visible in the country.

The Arab Republic of Egypt retained control of the canal, but was required to observe International Law in monitoring and directing use of the canal.

Israeli forces occupied the Sinai Peninsula from early November 1956 to March 1957 before withdrawing under Eisenhower's peace plan.

Although Britain had colonised the eastern half of the continent, they needed to establish settlement points north, south and west in order to secure Australia from possible French colonisation. The presence of a colony would enable England to lay claim to Australia during a time when France was rapidly expanding its empire as well. A colony which established Britain's claim on Australia would also help expand the British Empire and provide a physical presence in the south Pacific. This held both strategic and economic/trade advantages for England.

They wanted the U.S to help Cuba and then take it. Manifest Destiny was part of it. they believed that it was God's will for them to expand. alot like when they traveled to the west past the Appalachian mountains.

They also argued that it will help the Nation with sugar trade and other things. Simply putting it, they wanted to make colonies and expand. <- all i got. sorry.

Imperialism, nationalism and militarism were all political situations that European countries were dealing with. They were taking over each other's territories, building up their defenses and had people that were so loyal to their own nation they would do anythng for their own country. This is where the assination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand comes in. An extreme-nationalist, Gavrilo Princip shot him and his wife, Sophie. Everyone started blaming each other and a war resulted.

from the year 1910, Korea was occupied by Japan. Japan surrendered on the 15th of Aug, 1945 after two atomic bombs were dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Then it was the Korean War...

so basically, Korea was pretty weak and very traditional; some of the reasons why Korea was so weak was because when the 'outside travellers'(e.g. from Europe, America,...) came to trade, etc, Korea refused but on the other hand, Japan accepted them; allowing the Japanese to learn to make guns, use them, etc. They took advantage of this and attacked Korea.

Wealth, power and a world empire.

Japan had very few natural resources and a growing population.

Countries grow powerful in relation to the amount of resources they use in their industries, so to grow, they had to obtain their resources from other countries by the cheapest possible means, ie. by force.

It is actuallyy Spain :)

Wanted to access to west africas resources

In the history of Brazil, Colonial Brazil comprises the period from 1500, with the arrival of the Portuguese, until 1815, when Brazil was elevated to United Kingdom with Portugal.

During the over 300 years of Brazilian colonial history, the economic exploration of the territory was based first on Brazil wood extraction (16th century), sugar production (16th-18th centuries), and finally on gold and diamond mining (18th century). Slaves, especially those brought from Africa, provided most of the working force of Brazilian economy.

In contrast to the neighbouring fragmented Spanish possessions, the Portuguese colony, built up by the Portuguese in Latin America, kept its territorial unity and linguistic integrity after the independence, giving rise to the largest country in the region - Brazil, an emerging superpower

The positive effects of the invasion of Iraq was that the people were free of a murderous dictator. The downside is that it inspired the latest murderous dictator.

The Caribbean in pre-imperial times was said to be a sort of paradise for anyone who just wanted to slop about drinking berry-wine and making love, but would drive you mad with frustration if you had any ambition or imagination.

A colony has two different parts, there is a depend colony, and a settlement colony. a dependent colony is where tone country takes control of another, but the local leader keeps his title. a settlement comolny is where one country takes control of another, and lives there in settlement. A prrptectorate is wher one country controls another countries trade. a sphere of influence is where one country builds stores and such things in another country. an example of this would be like mcdonalds, or disneyland.

Famous North Carolina colonists include Sir Robert Heath and the Lords Proprietors. The Lords Proprietors included Edward Hyde, George Monck, William Craven, John Berkeley, Anthony Ashley Cooper, Sir William Berkeley, Sir John Colleton, and Sir George Carteret.

they wanted to gain an advantage in the competition for global resources

either ship building or silk. with by research, it's both- but find which one fits better.
