Gunpowder empire are very similar and complex in the same way. They grew empires and provided empires with deadly weapons at the same time. I personally think that gunpowder helped grow empires because they were able to defeat many empires at a faster rate since battles didn't last all day. The Russians expanded their territory because they had gunpowder. Portugal was able to defend their ships better because they had cannons.
Most trading posts were lead by European traders, because there was not much of tree land left in Europe, so there was less fur in the area and that lead to trading in Canada. Beaver fur was the most valuable, because it was the best fur for making felt. To trade, groups such as the First Nations and the Inuits, would bring there furs to the trading posts, and trade for there goods. Later a group of men at the trading posts, decided to go look for there own furs, and they were called the coureur de bois. The coureur de bois were french-Canadian’s that traveled through New France and North America.
France's expansion through the Ohio River brought conflict with Britain because of claims that those lands were British. The war started when Major George Washington went down to the Ohio River with the goal of delivering a message to a French captain, warning them to withdraw their French troops, although it was obviously rejected, therefore George Washington was told to build a fort near Pittsburgh. However, he was unsuccessful because the French attacked George, so he surrendered. Around two years later the British became allies with the Indians, and many Indian's abandoned their French allies.
Cause & Effect Sentences Resources and Gaining Power Since both the French and British wanted to control North America 's resources to gain more power, thus they had frequent conflicts and issues which even led to war Fort Du Quesne Due to the fact that the French had built Fort Du Quesne in a very strategic location, it resulted in the British attacking the fort as they wanted control over it. Ohio Valley Conflict As a result of the British trying to establish settlements in Ohio Valley, the French attacked the British and burned their homes down. Mercantilism Since the French and British were both trying to gain more power and wealth, the British
As American colonists began to expand westward of the Appalachian Mountains to find farmland to cultivate, they came into contact with French traders from Canada who were also going west to procure various furs. Such a collision resulted in an attack between the two parties in the disputed territories (Foner 157). Both the French and the British perceived the French and Indian War as a war to grant control over the North American continent to the victorious imperial power. The region was indeed extremely important to France and Britain because it was believed to be a prime locale that could be used as a supply point for the lucrative sugar trade that was burgeoning in the Caribbean during that epoch (“French and Indian War”). Despite the fact that furs were quite valuable, the currency of sugar from the Caribbean superseded the value of all other raw materials taken together in the British colonies.
During the 1600’s the French explored the Midwest, including Michigan, in search of the Northwest passage. While exploring, they discovered many animals with thick fur that they wanted to use for hat making in Europe. The fur trade between the French and Native Americans consisted of bartering, usually furs for European goods. They offered hunting tools like knives and guns. They also traded blankets, needles, alcohol, and cooking supplies.
Empires grew rapidly across the Afro-Eurasian region from around 700 BCE to 200 BCE. Some of the most notable empires from that time were the Persians, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and the Qin and Mauryan Dynasties. One of the most impactful and efficient ways that empires could successfully expand was through a powerful military. However, a strong military was not the only attribute that led to imperial growth and was not the most influential part of the empire’s expansion.
By conquering more land he expanded France’s resources and
Firstly, European empires in the Americas as well as Russian, Chinese, Mughal, and Ottoman empires are different in their development because Europe interacted and depended on other regions. The Atlantic Ocean connected Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Strayer states how “these two ‘old worlds’ were joined, increasingly creating a single biological regime, a ‘new world’ of global dimensions.” The reason for this difference is that Europe constructed their empires across the Atlantic Ocean in the Americas, or the New World, unlike their Russian, Chinese, Mughal, and Ottoman counterparts. This resulted in an advantage for the Europeans because they had access to new resources and ideas.
French colonialism distinguished itself from Spanish and British colonization in many ways. In the beginning, the French placed more of an emphasis on building a network of trade with native peoples than on extracting mineral wealth or cultivating crops. The French became more friendly and cooperative with Native Americans as a result of their intermarriage and alliance-building. Second, compared to Spain or Britain, the French government was much more concerned with maintaining control over its colonies. The Crown's appointed governors held a great deal of power and were in charge of passing legislation that favored French business interests.
The Roman, Chinese and Indian empire are the three main empires that exist in the past and inspired the rest of the empires that came afterwards. The Roman empire used trade and government to get where it was. The Chinese empire used legalism and a strong army. The Indian empire used religion to be successful. An empire consists of many different features, but there are some specific key features that makes an empire a strong and powerful empire and it usually consist of a strong military, effective leader, religion, trade and a lot more different features.
We gained middle america from France for not a lot of money for anchors. Today it would cost so much more for that much land. It also impacted the English because they were enemies with France and France sold it to America. This made Britain jealous and angry. Town meetings only took place in towns and we didn't gain as much from it.
The Westward Expansion all started when America made the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. There were many benefits from the purchase for the US that the French didn’t realize before they sold it. The purchase gave the US access to the Mississippi river which allowed for expansion of river trade to the North and South from the center of the US. The port city of New Orleans was bought by the US and its prosperity benefited the US greatly. The US sent Lewis and Clark west to investigate the land they purchased.
Gaul which is now modern day France, Belgium and parts of a few other countries contained many resources that Rome could take advantage of. The empire made good use of the abundant materials that were available for them. Gauls abundant supply of minerals allowed for the economy to grow. Gaul contained copper, lead, silver, and iron. All these were crucial parts in the making of weapons and armor for the military.
When an Eighth grader, I wrote my first program – a basic theme-page cover of a daily science and technology journal, using HTML. Since then, I have participated in several intra and inter-school computer science competitions. Attending the workshop on ‘Ethical Hacking and Information Security’ in December 2011 exposed me to the intriguing world of virtual theft and penetration. I discovered the world of robotics, where AI played an important part, in 2013, when I partook in a national level, inter-school computer symposium competition. Securing the First place in the above-mentioned event, obtaining a perfect score in the Eleventh grade; being facilitated for my projects on Electromagnetic Induction and Humanoid Robots etcetera, has propelled
