Exchange Of Goods And Technology Case Study

(Guiding Question A)

Case Study 1: Exchange of Goods and Technology The exchange of goods and technologies has been a key aspect in the success of nations worldwide. The general idea is to move forward with the help of other nations by exchanging goods and technologies. Specifically, guns and raw materials. The British played a big role in the exchange of these goods. However, guns and raw materials were not the only things traded. There were plenty more values, traditions and languages exchanged as well. This meant that, along with the goods that were exchanged, there was also some British culture that was exchanged. As show in our cartoon, with labels “English”, and “government”, the British were in fact “exchanging” these values. This,
The map used to present this historic series of events consists solely of the British empire. This is to emphasize the fact that simply one empire controlled so much land, and to get the viewer thinking about how the map would like with even more imperialist super powers. Based on the legend, it is quite clear that the British were in fact quite powerful throughout the history of globalization. Controlling a vast majority of the world, the British exponentially grew in power as they colonized region after region. However, although the British controlled tons of this Earth, and arguably the most of this Earth, it was not the only country that took its place in the colonial world. Countries such as Germany, France, Belgium, Portugal and many more also played a very large role in forming the foundations of historical globalization, and its relation to
As early as the 1500’s the colonialism of Canada and its rich resources had already begun. Forcing Canada’s prior Indigenous people to adapt to French culture (as shown in the cartoon), it was policies like these that upset Aboriginal people the most. French language, culture, beliefs, and many more traits had to be adapted to by the Aboriginal people. Centuries later, the British had taken an interest in parts of Canada, however, the French had other plans for them. This scramble for Canada led to the Seven Years’ War, which the British eventually came out victorious in. Defeating the French, the Englishmen had applied their culture, language, and beliefs onto the Aboriginal people, forcing them to now practice their traits (shown through the conversation in the cartoon). The back to back switching of cultures had caused the Aboriginal people to lose their own culture, which impacted them greatly, and is still recognized
