Han China. Both of these civilizations had become more interested in consolidating power within the limits than expanding them. Each empire brought the provinces of their domains together to create a regime of unprecedented scales and enhanced the integration of local worlds into a common legal and cultural framework. The Han dynasty became China’s formative empire, expanding Han rule in all directions. The Han dynasty expanded so far they had an East and a West and the West dynasty lasted from 206

The first ANZAC landing at the Gallipoli Peninsula on 1915 is said to be the most significant event in the whole campaign. This essay explores other events that need more recognition. Many events such as; Lone Pine, The Nek and The Truce are equally if not more important than the landing itself and need to be acknowledged. In 1914 Britain rage war upon the Germany, Liberal Prime Minister Joseph Cook made a famous remark saying “Australia will stand behind the ‘Mother Country’ to help and defend her

revolution began in England in the 18th century and soon spread to Japan, United States, Northern France and Germany. England’s lead in the revolution translated into political power that allowed colonization of other places which helped build the British empire. During the 1400’s Europeans dominated political order by capitalism. The industrial revolution would not have been possible without improvements in agriculture in England. Scientific farmers evolved the technique of growing their own food which yielded

Portuguese saw conquest and subjugation as a viable means to advance the previously mentioned “civilizing mission”. Following the realization that the spice trade was available for the taking using military force, the Portuguese established a “trading post empire” (Strayer 435-437). Sadly, the Portuguese were not content to settle for fair trade and commerce with Southeast Asian markets, but instead attempted to monopolize the spice trade and make crossroads into Southeast Asia. This was done in order to increase

expansion of the Ottoman Empire. In 1520 when he ascended to the throne, replacing his father Selim I, Suleyman inherited his father’s conquests. The Ottoman Empire in the 1520’s stretched to include the Balkans, Anatolia, much of Fertile Crescent, Egypt where it stretched from the Danube River to the Red Sea. Suleyman, thanks to the strong position established before him in the Red Sea, Persian Gulf, Indian Ocean and Anatolia was able to focus on establishing an even great empire during the forty-six

Though Athens was later conquered by the Roman Empire, it still served as the center of culture until its ultimate collapse in the 6th century AD via the Eastern Roman Empire.

Rome Mark Ireland Professor: D.A. Warner, PhD Intro to Humanities 1020   All roads lead to Rome Rome was a vast empire. At Rome’s peak the empire stretched nearly 1.7 million square miles and included most of southern Europe. To keep this vast empire organized the romans created a network of roadways or what we would call it today highways. This network would keep the empire connected with information and supplies to all the surrounding colonies and out post. These roadways contributed to the

provided captive markets for manufactured good. All these reasons pushed for the rise of Imperialism. At the turn of the 20th century, the United States began to look at two foreign policy issues, isolationism and expansionism. Once the U.S. had its inland empire secured after the Indian wars, it began to look outward. Even though they were determined to remain detached from the Europeans, they believed it was their right to expand. The rise of the United States as a world power, put the country against

transportation, widespread corruption, and incoherent strategy to maximize loyalist support in the colonies ensured failure. A serious challenge facing the British involved shipping food from Europe to Americas, inadequate packaging, corruption, and inland-to-port transportation limited what made it from supply source to the transport ships. Storms also had an impact on logistics, a major logistics convoy left Cork, Ireland, and many had to turn back to England, divert to the Caribbean or spent weeks
