Great Britain And Japan Comparison

The British controlled much more besides the thirteen colonies. India, much of the Caribbean, several outposts in Africa, Canada, and many islands in the Pacific, as well as Australia. But these colonies were much different in nature than the thirteen. These colonies were crown colonies, while the thirteen were charter colonies. Crown colonies were paid for and established by the ruling government and the King of England or Britain. Because of this, crown colonies were expected to be much more subservient to and controlled by the king or parliament. The people living in these colonies were often people trying to get rich by working in the trading business, and in about five years of increasing their wealth they would leave the crown colony and sail back to England to live.

Geography's effect on the early North American colonies is undeniable, but the way location affected the people of the early colonies is much more significant. Primarily, the economy was the biggest aspect of life affected by geography. From the Atlantic Ocean acting as a barrier from the New World to the Old World, and to the climate difference between the cold winters of the New England colonies to the hot summers in the Southern colonies, each played a central role in the development of the colonies. Good or bad, geography was always an essential factor economically for those who lived in the early southern, middle, and northern colonies. Geography has continually influenced the way people live and the early colonies were no different.

One of the reasons that the British sought to colonize was because it would allow them to increase their wealth. At first, colonists were the primary reason for the extreme growth of the British economy because of their lucrative trade system. However, that quickly came to an end after salutary neglect ended

The main political motivation for English Imperialism was due to the rivalries with its European Counterparts. Initially, European countries were looking for a water passage to China so they would be able to trade for their goods. Spain, who lead the charge, landed in Central and South America, captured gold and silver. From this the Spain were able to grow their army and hence, their political power. Next in line were the France who landed in North America and discovered the land to be ripe with animal pelts which brought great wealth to the French. The Dutch had found the same success as the France.

Since Great Britain was in a tremendous amount of debt, it started social and economic issues with the colonies. The French and Indian War (Seven Years War), fought between the British and the French over the Ohio River Valley was a huge contributing factor to said debt. Although the British proved to be triumphant in the war, they lost a lot of money and a lot of soldiers. During the course of the years, Britain wanted economic relief and turned to the colonies. After the War, amplified British taxation on the colonies ruined the relationship that they had with the colonies. The British said the taxation

Britain had its own weaknesses during war. The British battled a war a long way from home. Military requests, troops, and supplies here and there took months to arrive to their destinations. The length of the war proceeded and the geographic vastness of the provinces was a hindrance to the British attempts. Regardless of possessing each significant area, the British remained at a

Before America became it’s own country, the American colonists had to work hard to fight for what they wanted. America didn’t do all its own work, the British helped them to achieve their goal. The British encouraged the American colonists to work harder to become independent by provided them with reasons to fight.

There are many factors that lead to a dual identity between the North American colonist and the British. One of the first factors during the 18th century was the colonial economy was growing rapidly. This was largely due to the immense immigration. The Dutch, German and Irish began to weave among the population. During this time, the colonial population was growing just as fast as the economy. Much of the population became farmers which provided imports to England. This helped to build a strong bond between Britain and America. The British relied strongly on colonial imports. Macmillan Learning states, “Despite the many differences among the colonists, the consumption of British exports built a certain material uniformity across region, religion,

The colonists that came to North America were ill-prepared in a number of ways, and they had to adapt their original expectations after they arrived. The combination of issues with labor, commerce, government, and Native Americans created a uniquely American identity.

1.) The reason that this confederacy was established was to maintain and keep important traditions alive in these 5 later 6 tribes in the state of what is now present day New York. Some of the goals of this confederacy were to, improve trade, strengthen alliances with neighboring tribes against foreign nations, share agricultural techniques, capture land, and improve trade. In terms of how successful they were, overtime some tribes established alliances with European nations causing tension among the confederacy, however this confederacy did improve the alliances between these tribes. Overall in terms of land, they weren’t really successful as we can see now in present day U.S.A

In 1603, the English were still a small rising nation, poorer than most, and less powerful than Spain and France. Although the British colonies settled in the Americas late, they quickly became a dominant force in the new world. After they acquired their first permanent settlement in Jamestown, VA in 1607, the British became attracted to greater power and more land, which was the first building block of perhaps the most powerful European nation of the time period. Due to their growth in the Americas, the British were able to be compared to the Spanish colonies of the time period, which boosted the English’s confidence. Along with their growth in confidence, came a new way of thinking. Many British men thought that they

As the world of global exploration and colonization grew, many powerful European empires set out to see what the New World had in store for them. Each empire had their own individual agendas and incentives for colonization. This led to the many differences between methods of colonization and exploration in every colony and region. The Atlantic World portrayed these contrasts between the Spanish, French, Dutch and British empires. However, the British settlements along the Eastern seaboard differed the most from those of other empires because there were no established policies or methods in British colonization, which led to differences in the economics and culture of each colony depending on who settled it.

The relationship between Britain and its American colonies was civil at first but began to strain in the mid-1700’s. In the beginning, Britain ruled colonies with little involvement because they were busy dealing with the French and Indian War among other things. As a result of this, the colonies were typically left in charge of themselves with little interference from British authorities. After years of being left alone, the colonists had developed a feeling of freedom and independence. When the war ended there was a significant change in the relations between England and the colonies. Britain had built up a great debt and the colonies were a financial burden to run, to try and resolve their problems the British instituted various measures

Overall, the British Empire was an important factor in the development of the British economy in the 18th century. Much like it did during the slave trade, Britain obtained numerous valuable materials through trade and many found jobs in shipbuilding.

One of the central factors that contributed to the defeat of Japanese in the Pacific War was the weakness of Imperial Japan’s government. This weakness was largely a matter of there being a lack of communication within the leadership ranks at crucial points during the war. The lack of communication seemed to encourage a multiplicity of views and opinions, where “the War Minister was playing his own game of haragei”(source 1) . Demonstrating how the war minister of the Imperial government was contributing to the lack of communication by making his contribution to one of the most important strategic discussions in the war. The ambiguity of his contribution lies in his use of ‘haragei’, which is the language of implication.
