Great Britain

The relationship between the American Colonies and Great Britain were changed economically and politically after the seven years’ war (1756-1763). The conclusion of the war led to more events that began with The British Empire restriction on the expansion on settlings of colonists towards the states that were abandoned by the French colonies. The Great Britain won the war, so they went into deep debts which led to unfair taxation of the colonists. The real shift in mutual relationship is rooted…

without the Industrial Revolution that began in Great Britain between 1750 and 1850. Without the industrialization that began to take place during that time period; we wouldn’t have many of the various technologies that we have today and we wouldn’t be nearly as advanced. During the time period, Great Britain was a world power so why wouldn’t it be the prefect location for industrialization to take place. During the mid 1700s to mid 1800s, Great Britain has become the world’s most powerful…

The selfish nation it was, Great Britain desired to abandon its British North American colonies, since Great Britain was faring well on its own. To do so, Great Britain encouraged the BNA colonies to unite as a British dependency through confederation. Yet, Canada as a young nation saw Britain’s encouragement as a prospective idea towards its nation-building and independence. With confederation, Canada achieved greater self-reliance while remaining loyal to the British Empire. British patriotism…

1776 was a period of substantial change between the Colonies and Great Britain. The British and the Colonists had just finished fighting the 7 years’ war together against the French and Indians. The American Colonists and British fought and won side by side and a war which should have brought the Colonists and the British together instead drove them further apart. The resulting debt from the long and expensive war is what prompted Great Britain’s continuous attempts to tax the Colonies without…

justified in declaring independence and overthrowing Great Britain? Yes. They were right in doing this for a couple of reasons. First, the king who ruled them was 3,000 miles away. Also, the colonists did not get a fair say in what the parliament did and what they didn’t do. Lastly, the colonists were not aloud to expand to the west and discover new land. The first reason that the colonists were justified in declaring independence and overthrowing Britain was that the man who ruled them, King…

Great Britain was able to go through an industrial revolution because it met all twelve of the prerequisites needed for a nation to undergo industrial revolution. The nine prerequisites not touched upon prerequisites centre around three main themes: British power and geography, the Dissenters, and demand. At the time, Britain was the most powerful nation in Europe, and quite possibly the world, because of the profit earned from colonization and the slave trade. It had a stable monarchy dating…

Anti-Semitism prevailed post WWI leaving the Jewish population desperate for safety in search of a Jewish state. The League of Nations entrusted Great Britain with the Mandate for Palestine after defeating the Ottoman Empire. Britain broadly carved Palestine and Jordan into separate entities and with the Balfour Declaration declared Palestine as a Jewish homeland. Even though the majority of the land was divided in sanjaks—Arab tenant farmers under Turk sultans, with the growing anti-Semitism in…

Where the effects of the industrial revolution in Great Britain more positive or more negative? The Industrial Revolution was a good thing but also could be said to be a bad thing. It affected all aspects in life for people who lived in Europe. Three things throughout the industrial revolution, one is population, labor, and polution all affected the lives in Europe at the time and affect us to present day. First of all, population increased drastically in Europe during this time. This led to…

Independence was waged in the American determination of gaining freedom from its overpowering mother country. Several factors contributed to the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. Most prominently, the major contribution to the war originated from Great Britain spending a surplus of money and resources on the French and Indian War. Resultantly, taxes were enforced upon the people of the colonies in an array of different forms. This understandably developed fury and resentment among the…

Great Britain and China have a long history together with economic, religious, and political interactions. From 1792 to 1900, Great Britain had been interacting with trade, but Great Britain had been limited to the Forbidden City. China eventually went into isolation and began to separate itself completely until Great Britain had shown its Industrial Superiority in the 1800s. Another thing that sparked in the 1800 was the Opium war which severely affected Chinese and British relation. British…
