People from western Europe wanted to colonize the Americas because there was tons of beavers in the northern Americas, and back in Europe, there was a huge trend in fashion, beaver pelts were a huge thing, and any self respecting Frenchman would not go out without a beaver hat.

What was the religion like in the 13 colonies?

Religion in the American colonies was primarily Christian. The Puritans wanted to purify the Anglican church (Church of England) and founded their colony in the north east with this goal in mind. They belived in a fierce God who was ready to punish sinners, hence we have the Salem Witch Trials later on. Because they did everything for the glory of God, we get the vigorous and devoted Puritan work ethic. The Pilgrims on the other hand were in actuality Separatists who wanted to separate form the Anglican Church. Before they landed in Plymoth, they had gone to Denmark to escape persecution in England (which is the reason for most religious groups leaving Europe for America) and then decided to come to America.

The Spanish colonies in America were pirmarily Catholic as were the French. However, Lord Baltimore founded Maryland for Catholics to practice Catholacism in the New World. It was a place where people had religious protection to worship as they pleased. (But this was really specifically for Christians)

As American colonies grew, other forms of Christianity joined the party, so to speak. For example, the holiday we now know as Christmas (meaning Christ's Mass) was brought over by the Germans.

Judaism, Islam and other non-Christian religions were not prevalent whatsoever in the colonies because those followers were persecuted in America. It was not until later that the Irish Catholics or Jews came to America.

What was the role of imperialism in the Mexican revolution?

A majority of Mexican Imperialism on the United States' part was during the Mexican-American War from 1846-1848. The result of Mexico's loss in the war caused them to lose more than 500,000 square miles of land, which is 55% of its national territory. This caused people to relocate back into Mexico, or caused the people inhabiting Texas during the time to appeal for American citizenships.

The war was unnecessary and unjust on the United States part. They were drove purely by the idea of Manifest Destiny. Even President Grant "to this day regards the war as one of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation."

Also as a result of the war Mexico lost around 13,000 soldiers compared to the 2,000 Americans killed. Mexico also faced the destruction of much of their land, and poverty as a result of the destruction and relocation efforts made by Texans.

How did colonialism help reduce local warfare?

Colonial territories usually encompassed areas controlled by rival local groups. As a result, colonial rulers effectively pacified these conflicts by taking power. Additionally, the chess game between the Great Powers was often less violent on a day-to-day level than local conflicts which were always at a simmer. (However, when the Great Powers had a conflict, it was massive.)

What are three nations that were most successful in colonizing the New World?

Spain, the country that funded Columbus's discovery of the New World, claimed and colonized all of the land from what is now California to Texas, as well as Nevada and the Four Corner states, all the way through Mexico and most of Central and South America, and many of the Caribbean islands. However, Portugal claimed what is now Brazil in South America, and France, England, and Holland colonized parts of South America and the Caribbean.

Further east in North America, what eventually became the Louisiana Purchase was colonized by the Spanish, but then eventually that colony was acquired by France. England owned colonies from Georgia and into Canada, although Holland, France, and Sweden had previously owned some of those areas.

All in all, if success was determined by land area, the Spanish were the most successful at colonizing the New World.

What are the modern Effects of Imperialism in the Philippines?

There were many groups that were against imperialism as a policy for the United States. Prior to the Civil War, many northerners were opposed to acquiring more territory in the west because they feared the spread of slavery. After the Spanish-American War, some of the old "Radical Republicans" and other members of Congress opposed the idea of acquiring colonies. A large portion of the Democratic Party, led by William Jennings Bryan, opposed annexation of colonies. Anti-imperialists reminded the nation of our anti colonial heritage. They quoted Lincoln in reminding the nation that no man is good enough to govern another man without that man's consent. Many anti-imperialists were racists or appealed to those with racist ideas. They questioned whether is was wise to bring "nonwhite" people "under our flag." Many simply opposed imperialism because it would be too costly and would force the US to send American troops into "harm's way" to put down any resistance to our taking over other lands.

What is the different between colonialism and apartheid?

Difference between colonization and apartheid

Many. One difference was large European (predominantly Dutch) settlement in Africa and building clear (legal) infrastructure and set of institutions to segregate the native African population, starting with physical segregation and ending with social and family, education and employment opportunities. With the exception of the Americas and Australia, the scale of European settlement and development of a legal system to support the population segregation in South Africa was unprecedented.

What is The Open Door Policy in China?

There are two very distinct "Open Door Policies" depending on the time period.

During the 1800s - Age of Imperialism (Commonly referred to as the US Open Door Policy)

They resented the influence of foreigners in China.The Open Door policy was rooted in desire of American businesses to exploit Chinese markets, though it also tapped the deep-seated sympathies of those who opposed imperialism, especially as the policy pledged to protect China's territorial integrity. While the policy was originally aimed to safeguard Chinese sovereignty and territorial integrity from partition, it was mainly used to mediate competing interests of the colonial powers without much meaningful input from the Chinese. Thus, the Open Door policy had little legal standing and created lingering resentment; it has since been seen as a symbol of national humiliation by many Chinese historians.

During the late 1900s - Cold War Period (Commonly referred to as the Chinese Economic Liberalization)

In 1979, The People's Republic of China developed its open door policy to help increase trade relations with the global community and also to reinvigorate an economy left stagnant by the Cultural Revolution. Initially, the PRC decided to set aside four Special Economic Zones (SEZ's) in southern china and focus their efforts to draw foreign manufacturing there. These four SEZ's were chosen for the following reasons:

  1. Shenzhen: proximity to Hong Kong
  2. Zhuhai: proximity to Macau
  3. Xiamen: proximity to Taiwan
  4. Shantou: Vast overseas connections with Chaozhou origin Chinese in Thailand and Hong Kong.

Reason for colonization in New Hampshire?

A majority of the early settlers of New England came for religious reasons. Others came to find a better economic living than they had in Great Britain.
