A short term cause of World War I was Kosovo Day, which was a day for ethnic cleansing. This

Imperialism was a time period in which more developed nations colonized less developed nations. The developed nations took advantage of the less developed nations resources, people, lands, and much more. Many countries lost their freedom and independence due to imperialism, however, they also received new technologies and innovations.

World War I, a war that started out locally in Europe between Austria-Hungary and Serbia that later ended up including thirty two different nations. This war has been around for almost a century and yet the causes of it are still being debated. There are many different scenarios that have been considered. Some of the key reasons that were believed to have instigated WWI were nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and an arrangement of treaties. Also the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was believed to be one of the immediate causes.

The French and Indian war caused debts among the British. The British realized that during the war the income from the colonies was insufficient (document F). After the war, the British needed certain ways in which to gain revenue. They imposed taxes on the Colonists. These taxes, in turn, caused a stir among Americans. The Stamp Act was a tax imposed on the colonists without representation (document H). Their liberties as English citizens were being denied. Radical Whigs would go as far to say it

In 1765, British Parliament passed the Stamp Act (Document 3) to pay for the French and Indian War. This law taxed the American colonists on things like newspapers, almanacs, and calendars. The colonists became angry about the new taxes because they had no representation in the government or say in their taxes. They believed that it was unfair for Great Britain to tax them without given them the right to a representative in Parliament.

One of the first ways Britain attempted to gain control over the colonies was to impose tax laws. One of the main tax laws that angered the Colonies the most was the Stamp Act of 1765. The stamp act was imposed on all Americans and required them to use stamps on any newspaper, letter, paper, or legal documents that proved that they paid their taxes. The end of the war had brought post war debt and this was Britain’s way to request payments for debts that colonist had caused by buying British imports. The cost is not what actually angered the colonist, The Stamp Act for the Colonist however, was only interpreted one way; it was a direct attempt by England to raise revenue in the colonies without the consent of the colonial assemblies.

The French and Indian War ended in 1763, and although England won, it left them in enormous debt. The solution was the Stamp Act, a tax on all paper goods. Enacted in 1765, the Stamp Act upset nearly every English colonist in America. This was one of the first times colonists resisted England and this renegation acted as a precursor to the revolution ahead. England was surprised because they didn't consider the Stamp Act as anything people wouldn't agree with and felt that the colonists were responsible for paying in return from the protection England provided them during the war.

After the French monarchy was overthrown on August 10, 1792, Napoleon decided to make his move up in the ranks. After this, Napoleon started becoming a recognized officer. In 1792, Napoleon was prompted to the rank of captain. In 1793, he was chosen to direct the artillery against the siege in Toulon.

This forced Austria and its allies to make peace with France. But after this, Napoleon was relieved of his command. He was poor and was suspected of treason. Napoleon had no friends. No one would have suspected what Napoleon would do next. In 1796, Napoleon was appointed to put down a revolt in Paris. He calmly took complete control of the situation.

Napoleons’ rise to emperor in France was indisputable mostly because of his overthrow of the Directory. His success’s as commander of the French army in Italy, only led to his aspiring status change to “Emperor” of France after overthrowing the Directory in November of 1799.

He would often look back to the Roman Empire and copied their ways and views.
