The World : A Conflict Between Two Side And A Great Empire

Dwelling on the legacies of historical globalization can help us function better as people, it helps us realize that we are not perfect. First, people say events that happened in the past are still impacting us today. For example, residential schools in Canada have left a current generation of First Nations with emotional scars and harrowing tales. First Nations children in these schools were beaten, sexually abused, under fed, and lived in terrible conditions. These schools left them emotionless, and a majority of them turned to substance and alcohol abuse to numb the pain.

There have been horrible acts committed all over our world for numerous reasons, and a lot of the time they carry over undertones from historical globalization. It’s up to our society as a whole to begin effectively healing the wounds left from the past.

Egypt and Mesopotamia were two civilizations existing during the time period of 2000-1200 BCE. These civilizations were shaped by their environment, involved with trade, and faced changes in government after the 100 year drought; however, they differed in that Egypt was shaped by the Nile, traded goods for goods and changed their outlook on the pharaoh who was ruler of all; whereas, Mesopotamia was shaped by the Tigris and Euphrates, traded money for goods, and had a ruler over rulers. It is undeniable that the natural environment of ancient Mesopotamia had a profound effect on the earliest civilizations known to the world. Humankind’s ability

There were two areas at the time which resisted colonizations. One was Japan the other was North America. This leads the way to America becoming an independent Power rivaling great Britian. As our "war of independence" took place within the larger context of an imperialist rivalry between France and Britian, this was possible. The rivalry ruined the economy of both these nations. Britian the victor, exacerbated ill feeling here by determining that the colonists should pay these debts. Before the war of Independence colonies were not allowed to trade with one another, develop industries nor have their own currencies. This changed with the war of Independence but was a conflict that really continued from 1780 to 1850. This civil war was a contest

As with every turning point in any society, changes occur because of multiple dynamics that were occurring during a point in history. Through a chain reaction to many dynamics the Roman Empire divided and eventually the Western Empire collapsed. The collapse of the Western Empire allowed for one type of governing to developed in that region. And different form of authority, had been developing since Constantine had moved the Eastern empire capital into Byzantine. These two halves of the once Roman Empire held very different ideals on how authority should be viewed and how a government should be formed. These difference lead an increasing sharp tension between the East and West that to some regards can be seen in today’s society still.

During the Fifth century government and religious relied on one another to further their dominance on other culture and government, this occurred during the Frankish Gaul, who were the Merovingians, reign in forcefully bringing the Western empire one unifying country rather than having sectors of rulers. However, the unifying nations crumble after Clovis death, the separation of these nation was once again united with the help of the Carolingians, a family who are aristocrats, during the eight century. The Carolingians could not have united the crumble remnants of the Merovingians without the help of the church’s influence on the people; Charles Martel (ca. 714-741), leader of the Carolingians, increase his influence by defeating the attacking Muslims making Martel “the most powerful man in Frankland but also the leader of the most powerful force in Latin Christendom”(312).

The War of the Worlds (1953) is science fiction, but shot in pseudo-documentary style using real military footage interlaced with the Martian invasion force that is destroying all the majors cites around the world. The display of the uniquely, non-saucer shapes of the strange Martian ships on the rampage, alarming news broadcast, and images of panic stricken public fleeing for very lives, only adds to the desperate battle for humanity on a global scale, and a sense of utter realism and terror. Every shot is conveying a message and emotion, even at the end of the film, “the doom-laden finale in a disintegrating church, all very efficiently handled by director Byron Haskin” (Schneider 58), implies that all hope is lost, the end of the world is at hand, and hundreds seek refuge in churches, praying for a miracle to save them, and as faith would have it, one comes.

In the early modern period of the 17th and 18th centuries, two empires would rise using the modern concept of capitalism to make fortunes and become the world-center of their time. The two empires that would dominate the world-economy during this era were the United Provinces (the Netherlands today), and the United Kingdom. These two empires would progress in two different centuries and in two different ways that made them unique to each other. Fernand Braudel outlines these two distinctive paths that are glimpses of the evolution of capitalism in his book The Perspective of the World.
