Questions & Answers
Why was the french empire ultimately so much less successful than either the spanish or the british
Please somebody help me with these AP questions.
If France instead of Britain had won the duel for North America, would the 13 colonies ever have become independent of Britain, or would they have been forced to stay withing the empire for protection against France? Would Detroit, St. Louis, and New Orleans now be cities in Canada rather than the United States?
The French never took the British approach with regard to the New World. The British allowed all those folks who wanted to leave for the New World to do so.
The French did not. The French Protestants wanted the opportunity to leave for the New World, but the Catholic dominated monarchy would not allow it.
And for the most part, the Catholic majority in France never seemed very interested in starting a new life in America.
What was the Byzantine empire's opinion of muslims during the crusades?
what did byzantine people think of muslims from around the end of the dark ages to the end of the crusades? why did the byzantine empire not like the muslims? how did the muslims affect the byzantine empire?
They quickly came to oppose them, as By the end of the reign of Heraclius I (610-641) , Muslim armies were making raids into Byzantine territory in Syria and were beginning to conquer the Persian territories. From this period onwards, Byzantine energies focussed almost entirely to the east and to the south.
by the 700's the Byzentines began to turn the tied and start regaining it territories.
so the hostilities to Islam began almost instantly with the Start of the religion, Mohammed 570-632, islam began @ 610.
In 1071, however, the Seljuk Turks conquered the Byzantine army at Manzikert in Asia Minor—after this victory, the Seljuks quickly overran all of Byzantine territory in the east.
This led to the Byzantines looking to europe for help and thus the start of the Crusades.
How did the British Empire form despite a small starting country, and small population?
Logistics, excellent diplomats and politicians? Britain had a comparatively small population and small country compared to the near entire landmasses they conquered.
What helped Britain build up steam to become an Empire? Technology, who and what? Where did they start getting resources from?
How did they do it, how did it start, and what made them an Empire?
Not for school, just personal interest.
I should know but the Colonial Period does not really interest me that much.
I think you can explain the development of the British Empire on several themes
- Economic and Religious problems at home
- War with foreign powers
- Seeking income from other sources - colonies
- Royal support of merchants and explorers
- A powerful navy
- Development of a sea merchant business class
- Industrialisation
The British Empire took off as early as the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1. Economic problems at home such as a devalued currency (thanks to Henry VIII), forced merchants to look for new ways for income - often turning to piracy and raiding the rich gold spanish colonies of the Carribean and the Americas.
If you look at Francis Drake, he turned to piracy - and because of the large amounts of gold he captured from Spanish treasure ships - he found that the rich nobility of England would often 'invest' in his adventures.
The monarchy and the nobility were also inclined to reward merchants and favourites with areas in those lands that were taken from Spain. Especially later under James 1 and Charles 1 - the establishment of 'New York' etc as royal chartered colonies.
While other colonies established in the Americas were proprietary colonies where the rich nobility in England and the monarchy and businesses financed the development of a colony for the growth of 'cash crops' such as cotton which could be exported back to Britain.
Religious persecution against Catholics and social turmoil in England forced many to flee from England to America and other areas which merchants grabbed and established colonies. Places in the U.S such as Maryland were established by religious people from Europe and England fleeing from religious persecution.
The British monarchy was able to develop these seized colonies from spain also by deporting convict labour and slaves to them to be developed. The British development of the Carribean and Jamaica and also in Virginia is a good example of this.
Also if you look at Australia and New Zealand, which were discovered by Captain James Cook - began as supported by the monarchy and later when they were established as colonies, were later developed using convict labour.
Other colonial possessions such as India had economic as well as strategic value. While colonies such as Egypt was seized from France and gave England control of the Mediterranean.
Later when industrialisation began to take off in the late 18th century, the british drive for colonisation accelerated as Britain searched for markets for her commodities which in turn led the British into the South East Asia and into Malaysa and Singapore to capitalise on the Spice Trade
