Pros And Cons Of British Imperialism

The British East India Company took over India because of all the resources that they had. when the company made the Indians join a military they rebelled and started firing back at the British and then the company “called” the British government and they came with big guns to take control and regain India for themselves. British imperialism has a negative impact on the politics of india because of the British courts and the government wasn't far toward the indians. British imperialism had a negative impact on the economy of India because the British did not help the environment and they made railroads to take away from the land.

His five years of experience in the Indian Imperial Police allowed him to have a good understanding of what exactly the “real nature of Imperialism” is.

After the Civil War, the United States struggled to keep up with other countries in the world. While figuring out how fix the corruption in the American government, the other countries were practicing imperialism. Imperialism is a policy by which strong nations extend their political, military, and economic control over weaker territories. Realizing that we needed to make a change, the United States started working towards the goal of practicing imperialism as well. To do this, our first few targets were Hawaii and Alaska. In 1867, we sought to buy Alaska because they had resources that we wanted, such as lumber and minerals. This was known as Seward’s Folly after the Secretary of State William Seward. In 1898, our desire of Hawaii was fulfilled when they agreed to annexation. However, this was not without struggle. King Kalakaua of Hawaii wanted the white planters to vote, but when he died, his sister, Queen Liliuokalani reversed his decision. She took away the power of whites, which eventually led to her being overthrown with the help of the United States Marines. The Hawaiian people opposed annexation, but when Mckinley became president, Hawaii was declared American territory. Sanford B. Doyle, a white plantation owner who asked for the annexation, became the first governor of Hawaii. This addition into American territory drastically influenced our economy.

European Imperialism was a period of colonial expansion by European powers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The continents of Africa and Asia were two of the most imperialized areas in the world, and that greatly affected the people living there. The European Imperialism methods had a tremendous effect on the indigenous people of those areas through culture and conflicts.

British imperialism had a negative impact on the politics of india because the laws benefited the british and the justice system biased against indians. Lalvani claims the British justice system was fair. Even though it was seen this way by Lalvani the justice system punished British less harshly than Indians (Doc 4). For example, a British man who shot his Indian servant dead got six months jail time and a fine of about 100 rupees (Doc 4). While an Indian charged with attempted

Even if people were in poverty and couldn’t manage getting food on their tables- they were still demanding money. Where was the “civility” or “justice”?. Because of the British taking control of India’s government and forcing them into poverty, their imperial rule gave India an extremely negative

The British originally came in as a decent sized company in East India, but when the sepoys attacked that company, England sent their whole army and navy to get the sepoys under control, but while doing that they also took over all of India. Although economically and socially the Indians did benefit in some ways, the British established a massive infrastructure by controlling India and having a huge political, economic, and social impact on India that helped them more than it helped the Indians.

When the British assumed control they unified India. The British however, made an unfair government that negatively impacting the politics of India. The government the British had created, gave the Indians little to no say in the decisions being made and mostly only benefit the British. The transition from colonial rule to independence also caused many deaths. Lalvani claims the British administration was “superbly efficient” (Lalvani).

British imperialism had a negative impact on the politics of India because they have no responsibility in their government and things were unfair between the British and Indians.

The British constructed an impressively efficient government along with India’s army, however the government and army were used to create unjust laws and control Indians by force. This government they created was “Superbly efficient” all Britain to control 500 million subjects across 17,000 square miles. (Dr Lalvani) This may seem impressive and beneficial to the Indians, but only 60 out of 960 government positions were actually occupied by Indians. (Document 2) This meant that Britain could do anything they to desired to India because it’s people had no control over their own government. To enforce these laws or policies britain constructed India’s armies. This laid the framework for India’s justice system, civil service and efficient police force. The soldiers were trained in new military academies, courtesy of the British. Although, the intention for creating these services were to establish an even tighter hold on India as demonstrated in the Amritsar Massacre, were the Indian army was ordered by a British commander to shoot Indians, killing 400 and wounding 12,00. (Gandhi) This showed how easily Britain could suppress and control India because India had no control over its own

India and America, now two of the largest established countries in the world, were once coerced into being pawns in a greater British Empire at on time or another. America being settled through the crown’s permission and India’s trade being influenced heavily to the point of British incorporation in the mid-1700’s. Both watched as the British stepped over to force the ruled into submission per the Crown’s benefit. America had to deal with “Taxation without representation” in which the populace was unfairly overtaxed to pay for British debts while Indians withstood attacks against their culture, religions and personal independence while having their resources syphoned out, subjecting the people to British decisions and customs without any consideration for the governed. These two scenarios not only mean different methods of gaining

The competition the the advantage economically and politically was fierce. They were all trying to gain control of the New World. Each group would do it for the trading routes and the economic advancement to get ahead of the other nations. Whoever had the most land at anytime would be the one to winning in this rat race we call imperialism.

The British possessed most of the economic and political power and established restrictions, which the Indians were not allowed to go against. However, India received several benefits from Britain’s rule, mainly in economy and education. The British rule in India assisted India in developing its capital for the future, as an independent country. Britain discovered several raw materials, which could easily be produced in India, which meant more wealth.

The African continent has been known for its natural resources and its diversity. The diversities of the place set it apart from the other continents. That why many people want to be in the land and enjoy its spectacular environment. Furthermore, its natural resources attract everyone over many years to settle and harness its resources, to be used elsewhere. In the process, indigenous people, tribal clan become the victim of forceful empire in their mist. The author, Chinua Achebe in his book Thing Fall Apart tries to captive and the detrimental effect of a colonization on a group of people. In the book, Achebe portrait the Igbo tribe as one of the victim of the imperialist mind in the African point of view. Although the British intention

Liberal and democratic aspects of British colonialism in India played a significant role in leading to a democratic South Asia following Indian independence in 1947. Yet, the British -- first through the East India Company and then through direct government control -- held almost all of the political and economic power in India during the Empire’s expansion and apogee, guaranteeing the Indian economy could not evolve and/or function independent of the ruling power’s control; ensuring raw materials extracted from Indian soil would go towards British manufacturing industries mostly without profiting the vast majority of Indians; and leading to lives of privation for millions of indigenous subjects. Although there have been arguments made that, in political and
