The Portuguese were the first group of Europeans to enter Indian shores under Vasco da Gama in 1498. Goa, Bombay, Daman and Diu were set up as trading posts in India by the Portuguese. Goa remained a base until 1961, when it was seized by the Republic of India. The Portuguese were followed by the Dutch, who set up their main base in Ceylon, present day Sri Lanka; the British with their base in Surat and the French. Colonisation in India occurred due to the internal conflicts within the various ruling dynasties of India. European traders established political influence and acquired vast proportions of land, eventually controlling coastal regions of south and east India. All such territories under the traders were eventually lost to the British …show more content…
The three Carnatic wars gained the British exclusive control over the Carnatic region of the country. The Anglo wars brought the kingdom of Mysore, regions under the Maratha confederacy, kingdoms of north east India, Punjab and north west frontier province, Nepal, Berar and the state of Oudh under British rule. By the second half of the nineteenth century, the British had exclusive control over most parts of the Indian subcontinent, including present day Bangladesh and Pakistan. The oppressive British rule over India for nearly a century resulted in mass uprisings and revolts against the Company that culminated in the Revolt of 1857. The result of this rebellion was that power over India was transferred from the East India Company to the British Crown. The Indian Penal Code and reforms in the field of education came into being post 1857. Under the British Raj, Indian economy and population grew at a steady rate of 1%. At the onset of the twentieth century, Indian private industry began to expand. Religious divisions in Indian society came to the forefront at this time; these divisions resulted in the formation of socio religious bodies like the All India Muslim League, Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha, Rashtriya
Starting in the 1869, with the purchase of the Rupert’s land, Canada had encountered many issues dealing with a distant and unsatisfactory connection between the Canadian government and western Canada. Ignoring land claims, not respecting treaty rights and bringing fear of being pushed off the land, the government caused a growth in frustration for Aboriginal groups in the west during the 1880s. In 1885, the North-West Rebellion started when the Métis, lead by Louis Riel, created a provisional government and a small military force to act against government troops. Having enough of an unsupportive government, the Métis people started the North-West Rebellion, in order to prevent the loss of their land in present-day Saskatchewan and Alberta.
The video that I watched was about Shay’s Rebellion that happened on January 25 1787.Washinton reigned on November 2, 1783. That same year he rode to New Jersey to sign the Peace Treaty. During the 1780’s was when the American Revolution ended and was when the most critical period happened. Thousands of people died, a lot of farmers lost their crops.
Have you ever wondered the real impact british had on india during the time the ruled? British may have created railroad taught indians how to communicate protected forestry and endangered animals. The truth is the jobs they created paid indians un fair compared to british men, indians learned mort english in their own independance then when the british ruled, the didn't protect forestry for long because they would clear cut and ship it back to britain, and animals became endangered due to clear cutting which led to temperature rise water table drop and unplantable soil. Here are some examples of what really happened and why british were unsuitable for rule.
Frontiersmen began traveling towards the Appalachian Mountains and over other mountains. However, Indian chief, Pontiac, led a violent rebellion to push Britain out of America, but Britain successfully subdued the rebellion. As a result, Britain issue the Proclamation of 1763, dictating that Americans were allowed to colonize beyond the mountains. The prospect of discovering new lands put a vision into the American people to march forward.
The coercive acts came to be when the British got upset/mad from the event of the Boston Tea Party. The Boston Tea Party was an event when the Sons of liberty destroyed tons of British tea by dumping it into the river. The British then established a series of four acts to try to restore order. First the Boston Port Act, which was the port to be closed until the tea that was dumped into the river was paid for. Second Massachusetts Governing Act, to suppress town meeting and trials of royal officials to be held outside of New England. Third was the Quartering Act, governor’s requisition housing for British troops. Fourth Quebec Act, allowing freedom of worship to Canadian Catholics. Which all lead to Shays Rebellion. Shays Rebellion was a series of protests. How it lead to the constitution because it was the most dramatic social, political and economic struggle.
Shay’s Rebellion, in many history books, is often given no more than a short paragraph. This leads many people to believe that the rebellion was unimportant to the constitutional history of the United States. However, as is often the case, truth is rarely ever that simple. The real story of Shay’s Rebellion is complex and long and, most importantly, highly influential in America’s constitutional history.
In the decades before the Civil War, there was a growing anti-immigration atmosphere in response to the population boom brought on by European immigrants. There was a fear that these new immigrants were either immoral, ‘not good enough’ due to race or religion, corrupt, or stealing jobs from the hard-working ‘native’ Americans. A new political party, members called ‘Know Nothings,” was formed, in an effort to regain control of the population. Some methods they wanted to use were requiring the ability to read and write in English in order to vote, banning certain types of people from holding political office, and making the process of becoming an American citizen more difficult. This party had some mild success in the Northeast, particularly in Massachusetts, but they fell out of favor and vanished shortly before the Civil War.
When the Canadian Government became the main ruling power of this land, they, of course, had to create laws and boundaries, and other things of the same, just like a proper country should. However, this certainly did not benefit every group involved, specifically the Metis. The population of the Buffalo was dwindling, which was their most important food source, and without it, their culture and way of life would be completely ruined. They tried to sustain themselves, but as you would guess, it was no use. They began starving, so their last option was to call for help from the Canadians. This was fantastic news for the Government, as they could trade the Metis food and small plots of land, for their much

In 1786, debt-ridden farmers in Massachusetts organized an insurrection, now known as Shays’ Rebellion, against the state government. These farmers were struck by the economic depression that followed the American Revolution and they petitioned the state senate to issue paper money and to halt foreclosure of mortgages on their property. When the state senate failed to pass reforms, armed insurgents under the leadership of Daniel Shays and others, began forcibly to prevent the county courts from sitting to make judgments for debt. The ineffectiveness of the state government in ending the Rebellion was obvious and many Americans realized that the Articles of Confederation had to be revised. The Articles gave Congress virtually

The Impact of the Rebellions of 1837-38 By:Ishan Imagine a party taking place in a courtyard in the early 19th century. Everyone’s having fun, but after a while, the mood darkens as British loyalist forces close in on the courtyard and start a full-blown stone fight just because it was a Canadian political party. This event actually happened right before the 1837 Rebellion! The British loyalists attacked Canadian politicians with stones!
Throughout the years many historians have compilated and examined why Indian people were so desperate to gain back their independence from the British Empire during their rule over India, from 1612 to 1947. The reasoning can most definitely be found as the British discriminated against Indian people as they believe that they were inferior; it is no surprise that Indian people fought so hard for their independence. Throughout the British Raj, they placed and put forward unbelievably racist acts and laws which discriminated against Indian people. Which of course led to Indians to rebel against the British rule and which the British reacted with causing massacres. Explaining the nationalistic many India’s felt during the British Raj.
This period was one of major change in Indian life and culture. While the East
“Englishmen.. have given the people of India the greatest human blessing - peace.” (Dutt). Merely coming to India in the 1600s to trade, the British East India Company established trading outposts. After ridding of French influence in India during the Seven Years’ War and having Indians mutiny against British rule, Britain gained full control of India. India has been under the imperialist control of the British until their independence in 1947. British imperialism caused some negative effects on India through poverty and persecution, but retained more of a positive impact due to its massive improvements in the modernization of India and the overall improvement of Indian civilization.
