    Franco-Dutch War Analysis

    In 1623, the Dutch massacred English merchants in Amboina, setting off a series of offensive military behavior between the two powers (6). War officially broke out between the two from 1652 to 1654. Each was attempting to become the undisputed world leader in trade, and pursued campaigns to interfere with shipping routes, port access, and foreign trade policies. The British won the first Anglo-Dutch war, but another such conflict arose in 1664 when England attacked African territories belonging to the Dutch. The English proceeded to claim the Dutch Republic’s North American colonies, causing injury to Dutch trade. At this time France engaged in war with England, but took no active interest in Dutch victory. The Dutch eventually gained the upper hand in a series of battles and the peace treaty, the 1667 Treaty of Breda, marked a triumph for the Dutch with regards to trade. The agreement prompted a shift in land holdings between the two powers, however, and trade remained a point of contention between Europe’s leading countries. Much of the hostility that remained was directed at the Dutch, most significantly on the part of the French (4). France’s many alliances placed in in a relatively secure position leading up to the Dutch War. French diplomat Arnauld de Pomponne forged strategic alliances with English,…

    The American Colonies: A Comparative Analysis

    In short, the American colonies sole purpose was to supply England with the resources they were able to obtain from the North America. The colonies were viewed as second citizens under the British rule, but the lifestyle and custom between the two were obvious different. As you stated in your discussion, while the colonists and those living in England shared history and a frame of reference regarding aristocratic versus monarchic rule, over the course of two centuries, their daily life experiences grew more and more separate. In my discussion, I stated, “the colonists had control of their local affairs, but England believed they had control over the colonial affairs” (Reich, 2011). For the most part, there was obvious an misunderstanding of…

    Th The Restoration Period: Social Changes In America And Europe

    Due to the revolutions there were many transformations in polities and economies around the world. In Europe the old order was demolished due to these revolutions while in the United States began expanding west. As the United States expanded west, this led to many Indian tribes to lose their homes and moved elsewhere. Many people envisioned a world where “there was no private property and where people shared goods equally’ (596). The revolutions lead to the era of rapid social change. There were differing views on visions of power and justice. In America and Europe, many radical thinkers hoped for dramatic changes like the end of private property. In Africa, Middle East, and China many religious prophets emerged which led to social changes. In South Asia and America, rebels tried to test the authority of the state. Many people plotted to revolt against their respected governments.…

    New England and Chesapeake Colonies

    The New England and Chesapeake colonies were both settled by English colonists. Most colonists moving from Great Britain to New England were families searching for religious salvation, rather than mostly the single men that traveled to the Chesapeake area in search of wealth. The immigrants of the Chesapeake area were greeted with a climate and soil that were perfect for cultivating tobacco, cotton, indigo, and rice. Those settling in New England could not rely on farming to support themselves because of the rocky soil in the north. While the majority of the Chesapeake colonists were not as cohesive due to the great distance from farms to these towns, New England had close-knit church events, meetings, and schools. Although, the New England and Chesapeake colonies were both settled by people at English origin, by 1700 the regions had evolved into two distinct societies because of motives, environment, and towns/communities.…
