After the sinkhole, Lake Windsor Middle School students got the choice to either learn in the gym for the time being or transferred to Tangerine Middle School. His choice can be harmless or harmful. Paul, took the opportunity to switch. But, the only way he got on Tangerine’s soccer team is because Paul’s mother, Mrs. Fisher got rid of the IEP form from his Cume Folder. Paul befriended the Tangerine Middle school teammates by joining the Tangerine Soccer team. This shows about his character by the way he “ratted” the Tangerine soccer players and then went to their school to play on their team. The consequences of this choice are that if the Tangerine soccer players figure out that it was Paul who ratted out the soccer players from the carnival…
Recent shark attacks in Western Australia has raised controversy about how to solve the issue. “Stem the carnage” is a letter to the editor written by Sam Forsythe appeared on the 18th April 2007, Forsythe argues that the only solution is to kill the man-eating monsters with a genuinely concerned tone. In response to “stem the carnage”, James Whitt wrote a letter, in a somewhat condescending tone, contending that killing the sharks is a ridiculous suggestion to the issue.…
The British set up good things like railways, roads, and canals used for transportation, however, they also caused the Indians to lose control of their economy. The British caused Indians to have no control over their own taxation (Doc. 2). Without this control, the Indians didn’t have a voice and were overpowered by the British. Along with losing control of taxation, the Indians were forced to grow cash crops like indigo instead of natural resources. Growing cotton, indigo, and tobacco caused the land to degrade and become unfit for growing other crops which led to a famine (Doc. 6). Also, they weren’t allowed to sell the crops for money, and all of the money made went to the British. Being unable to control their own taxation and the types of crops they grew shows us that the British had a negative economic impact over India because they didn’t allow them to take on much…
In addition, the railroads were not only beneficial because of trade. The link between cities that were more that 200km apart meant that a more effective system of law and order could be established. A police force…
Therefore Britain did not care about Indians and their well-being, and instead only cared for their own profit and gain. In addition, Britain was able to control the Indian economy due to mercantilism. Mercantilism is the establishment of foreign trading monopolies. This can be seen in India where the British took raw materials from India, produced them in their own industries in Britain, and sold the finished products back to India (Textbook, pg. 358). Britain was able to control the economy because the imported goods were much cheaper than the ones made in local Indian industries.…
British had political control and they succeeded in monopolizing the trade with India. Their foreign rivals were defeated in trade and thus they did not face any competition. They also monopolized the export of all types of raw materials. They use to buy them at low prices whereas the Indian weavers had to buy them at overpriced prices. They imposed heavy duties on Indian goods on their entrance in Britain so to protect their own monopolized industry. They thought out of the box and did many investments to expand the communication and transport system in the country. This in turn to facilitated the transportation of raw materials from the fields to the port, and also the transportation of finished goods from the ports to the markets got…
Jwaharlal Nehro, the author of The Discovery of India, states that Great Britain exploited the Indian Economy detrimentally. During British reign in India, British parliament disconnected the East India Company from supplying and manufacturing Indian goods within the country itself. The British, on the other hand, had all access to the goods. Nehru states, “The Indian Textile Industry collapsed, affecting vast members of weavers and artisans.”…
Industrial needs made new forms of public transport necessary – thus, the steam powered engine (e.g. steam trains etc). This source of transportation encouraged railway tracks and lines to be laid and also, the development of the electrical railway; which was better compared to the steam railway, as it did not produce soot and made less noise.…

Many of the colonist wanted to independent because they couldn’t handle the type of government. Given the reason why they came to the New World. Since the British was taxing them and limiting their power they wanted to be separated from Great Britain. The people who wanted to be separated were called Patriots.…
2. Some historians believe that the American Revolution was actually not revolutionary at all. In their view, colonials rebelled against Britain to keep things the way they were, not to change them. Do you agree? Use relevant facts about the social, economic and/or political situation in pre-Revolutionary America to argue your point.…
With many politicians believing the British were civilising the peoples of periphery, the British probably believed the peoples of the American colonies needed to be taught to respect the metropole, which believed it had a parent role. In contrast, in the Indian case acts of resistance had yield some success. It could, however, be argued that the war a make factor in this success. As Fieldhouse points out: Stafford Cripps promised India dominion status ‘to rally Indian opinion in the crisis caused by Japan’s entry into the war’ (Secondary Source 19.2, 2015, p.10). As well as the civil disobedience, which was part of the ‘Quit India’ campaign, the British were also concerned about the Japanese-back ‘Indian National Army’ who had have some military success. In this context, then, the British high likely perceived those whom taken in the civil disobedience as moderates. As Indian support was needed to fight Japan, the British probably felt placating moderates was a small price to pay considering the circumstances. Therefore, the circumstances of war played in a major factor in Indian progress towards…
7. The European countries that had a major presence in Asia were Britain, France, the Netherlands, Russia, and the United States. The territory that the British controlled was India where it was first under control of the British East India Company and then Parliament with the Raj, and they also had Malaya, the French had French Indochina that consisted of Laos and Cambodia, the Netherlands had the Dutch East Indies including Java, New Guinea, and Sumatra, Russia had influence over outer Mongolia, and the United States had influence in Japan and control over the Philippines, gained from the Spanish-American War. 8. The Europeans justified imperialism by claiming that they had a mission to civilize the uncivilized populations of the places…

India has a history of being a fractured nation, at times this disunity was even able to save them from being taken over by conquerors like Alexander the Great. However, their luck was doomed to run out. India has always been a country rich in resources, making it natural prey to the British imperialists who not only wished to exploit these resources but the people of India as well. With a viewpoint such as this, it’s simple to see why Indian's view of British Imperialists evolved into yet another divided nation, with some coming to accept and see the benefits of Britain's political control, while others couldn’t come to terms with how easily the British system disregarded them and how altered it was from the once great Mughal Empire. Despite…
