In 1824, the Anglo Dutch Treaty gave the British East India Company economic control over Malaysia. The British crown took direct control over Malaysia economy in 1857.

Enslaved, starved, drained, and murdered. These were the conditions that the citizens of Indonesia had endured while being forcefully colonized by the Dutch East India Trading Company. The Dutch along with other European countries began the forced colonization around the world. Dutch and British East India Trading Companies were the most powerful; however, they differed from each other greatly. While the British were slow and gradual during their takeover of India, the Dutch heavily contrasted with that by rapidly wiping out and conquering the Islands of Indonesia with much tyranny and bloodshed. The Dutch Colonization possessed massive injustice against Indonesian people and greatly harmed them in two major ways, exploitation and violence.

Why are we driving cars and using cell phones, while people of Papua New Guinea are using sticks and stones to chop down a tree and hunt?! It’s all because of our geographical inequality. Our world is so unequal depending on where you are in the world. People in Eurasia got the best climate to grow wheat. What does wheat have to do with inequality? Wheat won't grow in Papua New Guinea! Wheat grows in humid climates and takes little effort to grow and farm. Wheat is an easy crop to harvest and grow, not to mention it takes very few people to go out, collect and regrow it again. Not to mention that wheat can be stored for 7-8 months. People of Papua New Guinea live in a tropical and very wet climate, not only that, but the ground is to dense to plant wheat. That means People of Papua New Guinea can’t get wheat. Instead they have to go out and hunt for their food. One type of food that they eat, is called the Sago

According to Dr. Bacevich, “The Greater Middle East was to serve—indeed, was even then already serving—as the chosen arena for honing military power into a utensil that would maintain America’s privileged position and, not so incidentally, provide a continuing rationale for the entire apparatus of national security.” However, rather than helping either the Middle East or America, this approach has actually caused a great amount of harm and only creates more dictators, internal strife, and terrorist groups. The interests of the United States and the Islamic World have never aligned and the Middle East is resistant to shaping.
Malaysia was colonized late by the British, with the Dutch colonizing Malacca first. In British Malaya, the split anthropological imagination of Oriental Chinese and Malay was the basis of a split colonial rule in which the governor presided over protectorate government, incorporating Malay royalty and aristocratic rajas in the Peninsular Malay States and Crown Colony government in the Straits Settlements. Despite settling down of both Chinese and Indian immigrants in Malaya, the colonial government maintained their non-resident status in the Malay states and gave ‘British subject’ status only to the descendants of immigrants in the settlements. Between 1814 to 1860 the British were in a state of non-interference. Non-interference meant that the different sultan states could decide how they wanted to design their state. Since the colonial government never accepted the Chinese as permanent residents of the country, it is not surprising that the Malay population in Malaysia believed the
Decolonisation was motivated in some of the African countries by international pressures encouraging Britain to bring an end to their Empire. The United States and the Soviet Union were both against the British Empire on ideological grounds. Americans viewed imperialism as an oppressive system, and the Soviets disliked the idea of formal Empire, as Marxist theory held it to be the result of capitalist iniquity. President Dwight Eisenhower said in his doctrine “But since the First World War there has been a steady evolution toward self-government and independence. This development the United States has welcomed and has encouraged. Our country supports without reservation the full sovereignty and independence of each and every nation of the Middle

How might the Singapore society differ were it not for these technologies – would the society be more or less heavily regulated? Lee recommends analysing politics and society by addressing how power struggles and relations were played out in the pre-Internet era, namely the maintenance of political control via public support (2005: 74). Foucault defines ‘governmentality’ as the point of contact where the technologies of power interact with the governed. This spurs Lee to postulate that, in order to retain power in the Internet era, 'governments need to be actively involved in shaping the design as well as the societal, cultural and regulatory environment in which the Internet and other new media technologies operate' (2005: 75).
Bahrain was once part of the ancient civilization of Dilmun and served as an important link in trade routes between Sumeria and the Indus Valley as much as 5000 years ago. Since the late 18th century Bahrain has been governed by the Al-Khalifa family, which created close ties to Britain by signing the General Treaty of Peace in 1820. A binding treaty of protection, known as the Perpetual Truce of Peace and Friendship, was concluded in 1861 and further revised in 1892 and 1951. This treaty was similar to those entered into by the British Government with the other Persian Gulp principalities. It specified that the ruler could not dispose of any of his territory except to the United Kingdom and could not
Malaysia is situated along the Straits Of Malacca, connecting the Indian Ocean with the South China Sea and Pacific Ocean so trading in this area has been around for centuries.
