Non-European Dbq Analysis

At the end of World War 2, most countries in Europe were in a wreck. Cities were decimated and economy was failing, it was the time to rebuild. The European Union was an effective way to help Europe rebuild. The EU first started as just a common market for steel and coal, but quickly grew into a union of countries united as one. It is a great opportunity for countries in Europe as the it was created for the sole purpose of preserving peace and preventing another World War on the rebuilding continent. The EU is also very beneficial to countries as it has the best economy in the world, for the peace efforts and the ability to support its members.

The Englishman's encounters with the Native Americans were almost never mutual or positive. The first encounter with the people of the “new world” was a defeat at best, the Native Americans drove the Englishmen back upon the ships they had come from, but the English were determined that they would be here to stay. They moved farther down the James River and found a suitable location for settlement. Through poor leadership, however, brought the true demise of the possible friendly relations between the Natives and English unlike their French counterparts further north. Innocent Native Americans coming into Jamestown with food and gifts were often treated like spies and taken hostage by the colonists.This understandably gave the natives of the region a common goal, it was the English versus them. Though the first encounter

The process of decolonization proved to have its own struggles within those who were seeking their independence from imperialist powers. Evidently, these nationalist movements were different in many regions, but they generally shared the sentiment that “Westernization” had taken something away from them. This proved to be the case in Africa and Asia, where the colonization movement from imperialist powers was of strong presence, and that had trouble weakening during and after the Cold War. Part of this struggle was due to the forms of government that were imposed, and because many of these colonies had been in this position for such long time that they were not able to predict upcoming conflicts after their independence. However, in many cases, the problems were more complicated and often implied a combination of reaction to westernization and internal conflicts. Undoubtedly,

Even though the U.S. got more land from the Indian Removal Act and gave the Indians a new home with covered expenses it was a downcast for many Native tribes and a miserable event throughout history. In the writing of John G. Burnett’s Story of the Cherokees, he discusses how terrible and sad the removal of the Indians were and how it negatively affected the Indians. Specifically, “Woman were dragged from their homes”(2),”Children were often separated from parents, with the sky for a blanket and the earth as a pillow.”(2) In general, all of the Indians and even the women and kids were treated horrible as if they were seen as savages, and as if they were animals. Although, when being treated like savages, were the Indians the true savages or

1.If you were a poorer or common person (not economically elite) in 18th century America, which region would be most beneficial for you to achieve your goal of economic, social, or political independence?

The very thought of peasants devising an insurgence terrified the Creoles. Leslie Bethell, the author of The Independence of Latin America wrote about the Napoleon Bonaparte and the invasion of Spain. “The Creoles had one eye on their masters, they kept the other on their servants.”(Doc F) Implying that the Creoles were very aware of the social classes due to the fact that the higher class was outnumbered. Living in terror of the uprising of their slaves. “They had to move quickly to anticipate popular rebellion, convinced that if they did not seize the opportunity, more dangerous forces would do so.”(Doc F) Creoles had to promptly protect themselves and prepare to defend due to the fall of the Monarchy in 1808, leaving their lives and property

As people experience events in their life, their events help shape and form their opinions, beliefs, and values. Between the 1760’s and 1910’s, when analyzed, it was shown that European’s views on non-European peoples and cultures reflected the intellectual changes of the period. Europeans learned to accept the non-Europeans mainly due to the Enlightened Absolutism that had occurred where enlightened absolute monarchs allowed freedom of speech, religious toleration, and right to hold property. Some causes that resulted in the intellectual change could’ve been the Europeans were influenced by the way a person lived/lifestyles of the non-Europeans, Nationalism, and superiority.

During the sixteenth and seventeenth century, the world of science became exposed to new scientific discoveries that were not welcomed by the church. For decades, people believed and did everything the Roman Catholic Church told them because there were no documents or no other proof of scientific knowledge to go on. Friendship should be spread through the whole world of learning…(Document 9)” You will learn better if you are friends because you can exchange information and find out more than if you were enemies. The Roman Catholic Church was threatening by the Scientific Revolution because Copernicious’s, Galilei’s, and Newton’s new science discoveries open people minds to change.

Around 500 CE, change in Eurasia was spurred by the fall of several influential Classical civilizations. The fall of Rome in the late fifth century left Western Europe without a centralized authority and vulnerable to invasion, while similarly in China, the fall of the Han dynasty in the 3rd century left the region in a period of chaos and unorder. The end of empires such as these set the stage for the emergence of post-Classical civilizations in sixth century Eurasia. Furthermore, the Silk Road, a vast network of trade routes spanning across Europe and Asia, played a key role in the spread of goods and ideas between third-wave civilizations in Eurasia. Due to the Silk Road, civilizations of this millennium were connected through transregional interactions and trade, leading to the dispersal of cultures and ideas beyond their origin. These connections led to spread of Christianity

Around the 15th century, when the Americas were discovered, Europe was going through a great religious change. There were many disputes in Europe about the Roman Catholic Church and its teachings. Later, the two prominent religious figures that completely impacted the way people view religion in a different light were a German monk named Martin Luther, and a Frenchman named John Calvin. That’s when they started a religious reformation. Some countries, such as France and England, were most affected by the sudden change, which caused them to become slow to colonize in the New World. However, the Spanish and the Portuguese were unaffected and were the first to arrive in America, so their Catholic church and beliefs also went with them. Thus, Catholicism

Over the period of 1792 to 1990, England and China's relationship drastically changed because of the trading of opium. China didn’t want to trade opium, but it would mess up England's economy if they were no longer trading opium. China also started to feel the need to westernize, unlike before. China’s need for westernization released tension between the two powers, causing a change in their relationship. China and England's relationship was continous from trade. Even though it was unbalanced in the beginning, it was never cut off. During this time period, in other parts of the world, industrialization was starting to take place. England was one of the leading countries in this age of Industrialization. England used their advanced technology

Between 1500-1700, Europe transformed in three fundamental ways: ideologically, politically, and socially. Three of the most notable and influential political thinkers of that time were Francis Bacon, John Locke, and Thomas Hobbes, each of which had a great impact on the growth and development of Europe.

In the early 1600’s, when the European settlers arrived in Jamestown, there were already around 15,000-25,000 Indians living around the area. The leader of the most prominent tribe in the area, Powhatan, stayed in a neutral relationship with the English in the area for the first couple of years after Jamestown following the start of the colony. During the time the Indians

The European’s streamlined view of the orient was not flattering. As a group, the Europeans understood that their culture was different from many of the cultures present in the orient. Unfortunately, they did not appreciate the differences between themselves and the orient. Consequently, they were unable to fully relate to the orient in a meaningful or sympathetic way. Their inability to emphasize with the orient limited their understanding of the oriental nations as a whole. These limits revealed themselves in the form of the Europeans’ negative characterization of the oriental people. Oriental individuals were often viewed as uneducated, lazy, and merciless individuals. They were considered inferior to the Europeans, thus the Europeans believed that they had every right to rule over them. However, there were some who attempted to broaden their understanding of the orient from a less limited perspective. Lady Mary Wortley Montague’s The Turkish Embassy Letters (1763) attempt to create a flattering and realistic view of the oriental person. Her attempts are greatly overshadowed by some of the inherently oriental ideas in her characterization of the orient that are expressed in Henry Regnault’s Summary Judgement Under the Moorish Kings of Grenada.

First and foremost, the British, throughout the time of the British Empire, often saw the native people of the colonies as ‘savages’, as their society bore little resemblance to European
