Historiography Of The British Empire

The British East India Company took over India because of all the resources that they had. when the company made the Indians join a military they rebelled and started firing back at the British and then the company “called” the British government and they came with big guns to take control and regain India for themselves. British imperialism has a negative impact on the politics of india because of the British courts and the government wasn't far toward the indians. British imperialism had a negative impact on the economy of India because the British did not help the environment and they made railroads to take away from the land. British imperialism had a positive impact on the economy of India because the British eliminated highway robberies,

British imperialism had a negative impact on the politics of India because of the establishment of the framework for India that leads to their downfall and the Indian Army which they used to control their own kind. According to Dr.Lalvani, the British established the framework for India’s justice system, civil services, loyal army, and the efficient loyal police. (Paragraph #6). While this is true, the framework didn’t include the Indians, because “Of 960 civil offices, 900 are occupied by English men and 60 by natives”(Doc. #2). British laws often benefited the British and were designed to limit the freedom of speech of the Indians, for example, the Rowlatt Act in 1919. (Gandhi). This evidence shows that the British, when creating the framework for the new and improved India wanted to benefit from it while trying to lower the Indian’s and limit the

British imperialism lasted for hundreds of years and has had staggering effects in India that we can still see today. Britain initially became interested in India in the 1600’s; the government set up trading posts around the country because it was interested in the raw materials and resources available. At first Britain used indirect rule through Sepoys -- Indian soldiers -- but after the Sepoy Rebellion Britain had to step in to rule directly. Although British imperialism had positive effects such as eradicating immoral customs and paving the way for modern India, it also had numerous negative effects, such as by creating laws to better control Indians which left their government negatively impacted, taking from India with no concern for the

By around the year 1920, The British have taken control of more than 25 percent of the human population. India was one of those colonies. Originally used by the British East India Company for a source of Cotton, Indigo, and Tea, The British took complete Economic, Social, and Political control of India before the Sepoy Rebellion in 1857. With many natural resources and a huge population of potential consumers, India had become the ¨Jewel in the Crown¨ of the British Empire. The administration of India that Britain created was superbly efficient, leading to the construction of massive infrastructure throughout all of India, and the education of some elite class Indians. On the other hand, British rule of India served the needs of the British

Dr. Lalvani claims that “Indians success, is largely due to British imperial rule.” The British didn't just establish the framework for the justice system for India but it established the civil service, loyal army and efficient police force (Document

The British originally came in as a decent sized company in East India, but when the sepoys attacked that company, England sent their whole army and navy to get the sepoys under control, but while doing that they also took over all of India. Although economically and socially the Indians did benefit in some ways, the British established a massive infrastructure by controlling India and having a huge political, economic, and social impact on India that helped them more than it helped the Indians.

Colonists who stayed loyal to the British Empire wished to retain the power and protection of being part of that Empire. They wanted to fix the disagreements between the British government and the colonies before it was too late, even though they knew that the taxes being levied by Parliament against them were excessive.1 Some suggested that the British simply needed to be willing to negotiate a bit with the colonies and give them the greater political and commercial autonomy they so desired. William Smith, Jr., a loyalist lawyer from New York, wanted the colonies to have their own “continental parliament”, and other new colony-specific government offices, which would have necessitated changes to the British Constitution.2 Since both sides were so intractable in their beliefs that they were the ones being wronged, no such radical compromise was ever considered, but that did not stop the desperate loyalists from imagining a scenario where the status quo was maintained as much as possible.

For approximately two hundred years Britain ruled over India, allowing them almost no control of their own country. This is what imperialism was like for many countries. Initially India was colonized for its natural resources by the East India company but the companies hold on India became compromised after the sepoy rebellion in 1857 so the English government took control in a time of crisis. After decades of British Imperialism India finally gained independence in 1947. Brittain helped develop India by creating a government, education, and millions of jobs, however they negatively affected India by using the government and its powerful army to control and suppress the Indians along with Britain's unfair policies which

Starting in 1754, the Seven Years’ war began and led up to a sequence of events involving the Parliament. The Parliament is the highest legislature in Great Britain and consisted of the House of Lords and House of Commons. The Parliament made three acts because of the Seven Years’ war, which affected the colonist greatly. The three acts made by the Parliament included the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, and the Tea Act. The Parliament made the acts to resolve issues and to enforce more laws, however, some acts made the colonist very upset and led up to events of commotion. The colonist had mixed emotions towards the act because some were liked and others were not.

From the end of the French and Indian War in 1763 to the start of the American Revolution in 1776, many important colonial events occurred. Britain was left in extreme debt after the war, and relied on taxing the colonies to pay it off. The British government also began to establish trivial, and even sometimes cruel, acts and laws to keep the colonies in line. The colonists soon became fed up with all of the taxation and the “virtual representation” that they were receiving. British imperial policies from 1763 to 1776, such as taxation and spiteful laws, forced the colonists to increase their opposition to British rule and unite under the commitment to republicanism.

Sir Francis Drake plundered Spanish ships, returned to England in 1580 with a ship full of Spanish treasure, and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth.

In the past few centuries, multiple countries largely involved in imperialising had been in Western Europe. They had imperialism in places such as Asia, Africa, and America. When a country imperialized, they extend their rule into a foreign country. Imperializing a country allows trade with the country that is taking the rule and also their allies. With this in mind, it is clear that there is a worldwide economy coming together through the trade of goods and services.

WW1 turned out to be a major turning point for Canada both economically and internationally, as Canada got the recognition of a great independent nation. In addition, Canada was one of the principal reasons to end the world war. Canada grew as an autonomy during the world war and essentially they prosper during the 1920s and in the end the key success in Canada came during the 1930s in the statute of Westminster when they got independence as a sovereignty. During the world war, Canadian served overseas as part of the Canadian expeditionary force (CEF), they fought alongside Britain. Canadian lieutenant general Arthur Currie, ensured that the Canadian’s fight as one unit with a sense of pride, the creation of the corps strengthened the unity of Canadian soldiers and also gave Canadians at home a sense of pride. Similarly, Vimy ridge marked the first time Canadian soldiers fought together as one unit, independent of British forces, and this victory became a symbol of Canada’s independence and nationhood. One of the key reasons for Canada’s growth during WW1 was the treaty of Versailles as it marked an important stage in the gradual movement toward Canadian independence from Britain. During the 1920s, Prime Minister Mackenzie king made it clear to Britain that Canada would not automatically sent troops in support, he stated that only the Canadian parliament would decide whether to send troops or not to support Britain. This was the first time that Canada refused unconditional

There are so many reasons as to why India and Great Britain both got benefits from imperialism. Great Britain, the most powerful country in the world (at the time) just so happened to be very imperialistic. They took over India, and brought a lot of *civilized features to India. This helped shape the India everyone knows about today. British Imperialism vastly improved India because the location was great, the resources were satisfactory, and the country had a very immense population.
