The Influence Of British Imperialism In India
British Imperialism In India When Britain wormed their way into controlling India, Indians had no
say or voice in this conquest. While Britain made it appear as if they were helping India by
westernizing and administering them, they were actually stripping India of natural resources, safe
life for civilians, and a access to a loyal army. Britain considered India to be extremely beneficial on
account of their plentiful resources, and huge population. By controlling India, Britain would
receive great profit and it was extremely simple to take over because India had no power. After the
East India Company took over, a government organization that was indirectly ruled by Britain
Indians lost control of their country. The resources in India were required by Britain because of the
mass amount of machinery in Britain used for the new and growing, industrial revolution. Although

Although it could be argued that Britain unified India 500 million diverse Indians, and built a strong
Indian army, they had an extremely strict cruel government that eliminated Indians freedom and
used their own army against them as punishment. According to Dr. Lalvani imperialism in India
resulted in "the bringing together of several different states into one unified India" However before
the British came to India Hindus and Muslims lived together in peace for centuries. And while
Britain was present and after they left the two religious groups were extremely divided and violently
fought. Including wars that resulted in "5,000 people dead and 12,000 people hurt" (Gandhi). Britain

British Influence On Australian Society
Thesis
The British were a vital part of the history of Australia. They explored the world creating colonies
all over, but January 18, 1788 is when they first colonized Australia bringing with them many
convicts from Britain. Through their exploration and colonization they traded many economic,
political, and social aspects from Britain with the aborigines that they encountered in Australia.
Without Britain sending people over to Australia, the continent known as the land down under
would not be the same today.

4. Aside from the occasional Indonesian trader or curious European sailor, the majority of the
Australian Indigenous population had never seen other humans for many thousands of years. Yet,
during the late 18th century, this would all change as the Europeans began to explore and inhabit
Australia.
During 1770, Captain James Cook, a British Lieutenant, landed his ship theEndeavour at Botany
Bay in New South Wales. Two Indigenous people from the area were unhappy and tried to stop
Cook and his crew from coming ashore. Cook's crew were greater in number and were able to
overpower them. They raised the British flag, which represented the taking of possession of land
(Australia) for the King of England. Cook explored further along the coast of Australia before
returning to Britain with the news of his discoveries and encounters.
This initial journey marked the beginning of great changes to the landscape of Australia and for the
local Indigenous people who lived there. The British believed they could settle on this new land in
New South Wales, which would also fix their issue of having many lawbreakers (convicts) and not
enough prisons to house them.

British Imperial Influence
The empires of both the British and the Japanese through their expansion tactics allowed them to
shape certain aspects of other cultures during their growth. The British Empire, with its influence
and the power to control, during its greatest time was one of the largest empires to ever cover the
world. The Japanese Empire while not as powerful and vast as the British Empire was able to use
the change of its government to begin its own conquests.
While the British Empire had many positive things it provided to those under its control it like any

colony. In 1902, Japan signed an alliance with Great Britain, which signified a dramatic increase in
international status and in 1904–5, Japan won a war against Russia, one of the major Western
powers. In the process Japan expanded its empire, annexing Korea". The Sino–Japanese war was
their first foray into a major conflict of war and their success followed them, with a conflict with
Russia and again success; Japan was now on its way to show the world it was a power to reckon

In the 19th century, Britain dominated the seas in a manner unrivaled by any other competitor. The
Royal Navy was able to impose its will worldwide, exemplified by 19th century conflicts such as
Opium Wars versus China and The Anglo–Egpytian war. During this time, Britain policed the world
and ensured safety on the high seas during a prosperous period known as Pax Brittanica. No other
nation was seriously able to present a naval challenge to the British Empire. This British golden age

Thus, war with any other power would mean Canada's vital merchant shipping to the British Isles
and elsewhere would be a potential target. Nevertheless, even this plausible threat was largely
dismissed in Canadian politics. Ex–Prime Minister J. A. MacDonald espoused the opinion widely
held among Canadian politicians at the time, stating that "he did not fear even cruiser raids by
countries involved in any foreseeable European war. He quickly dismissed the suggestions that
Canada might none the less help with the increasing burden of imperial defence... any permanent
commitment of that kind would arouse isolationist sentiments among his electorate."9 From this
excerpt, it can be clearly seen that Canadian politics had smothered the creation of the naval service
as apathy was the politically safe choice. The government had been fully willing to leave the coast
undefended, and shipping hapless at the hands of raiders. Although MacDonald had made the
statement some fifteen years prior, the political position had shifted little by 1905. When the
dialogue on forming an indigenous naval service opened under the Laurier government, Micheal
Hadley states that "the British garrison lay nearly a thousand miles from Ottawa. In the
consciousness of Canadian leaders it was even more remote than that. However glad they might be

The Fall of France had put their control of the Mediterranean and Middle East in jeopardy, as it left
Britain without a major ally in Europe. They had military bases (Gibraltar, Malta, Alexandria,
Egypt) throughout the Mediterranean, which connected them to their oil pipelines in Iraq, but these
came under threat from Axis powers. Italian imperial intentions were aimed at the mediterranean,
Mussolini referred to it as "our sea," harkening back to the Roman Empire. Being an Island,
Britain's "imperial highways" were vital to their economy. By mid–1941, Greece, Yugoslavia, and
Albania were controlled by either Germany or Italy, granting them direct access to the
Mediterranean – threatening Britain's control of the Suez Canal. This endangered their shipping
lanes to India and eastern interests. Reynolds holds, from the point of view of Churchill and the
British "[the] Balkan campaigns in the spring of 1941 were therefore seen as part of a peripheral
strategy to sever Britain's imperial lifelines as a prelude to eventual invasion [of the British Isles]
later that year." Imperial setbacks only worsened as the war continued, German General Erwin
Rommel's Afrika Korps disrupted British dominion in North Africa, with control of Libya and parts
of Egypt going back and forth. Also, eastern interests were in danger from the Japanese menace. By
early 1942, both Malaya and Singapore fell to Japan. Unprecedentedly, in India, Britain raise the
largest volunteer army in the history of the world and effectively fought Japan. Raymond Callahan
notes, "In 1939 about 400 of the 5,000 Indian Army officers commanding the 190,000–man Indian
Army were Indians. By 1945 there were 14,000 Indian officers in the 2.5 million–man army – about
one–third of the officer corps." This significant transformation and the fact that "Indian soldiers
expected freedom and self–government in the aftermath of victory," continues Callahan,

How Did The British Influence On American Culture
The transformation of administration architecture during independence and colonization
Politics has always been closely related to the transformations of architecture styles. The transition
of one region's political dynamics will certainly influence the exterior forms and the structural
connotations of the symbolic buildings. Different kind of political changes will also result different
kind of architectural stylistic shift. The independence of Turkey as a new nation and the colonization
of India by the British empire reflected the influence of political changes in architecture and how
new architecture style is introduced during such periods.
The independence of Turkey and its early development as a country full of energetic youth required
a combination of two almost contradictory ideals : In order to illustrate its disassociation with the
past Ottoman authority the new government desired international style which expresses scientific
modernization and political liberation; However, the Kemalists also wanted to preserve a certain
degree of cultural root in order to boost, if not, maintain nationalistic devotion of its citizens.

After claiming India, the British who are influenced by the orientalism perceived the mysterious
Eastern culture as intellectually inferior. As a result, the western colonizers often consider the
Eastern culture unable to advance on their own and therefore must be governed by a more
sophisticated society. The political authority was taken by the British administration because of the
western's technology and gunnery, and rules were implemented without the affirmation of the native
population. Consequently, a new architecture style was introduced and the administration buildings

How Did Queen Victoria Influence British Society
'Victoria was the longest reigning British monarch and the figurehead of a vast empire. She oversaw
huge changes in British society and gave her name to an age.' When Queen Victoria assumed the
British throne in 1837 at the tender age of 18, she became an associated symbol with the rapid
changes that the nation of Great Britain endured to be a powerful, industrial nation that 'boasted an
empire that stretched across the globe' . She endured many challenges during her reign, however,

of great social and technological change' . At birth, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Political issues were her main interest over social issues, and she resisted technological change. Her
main political issue that she strived to amend was gaining political power for the British monarchy.
Without her knowledge, she led towards the transformation of the monarch's political role into a
traditional state. This meant that throughout the years of her reign, direct political power moved
away from the Queen. However, she was still able to 'exert a powerful influence over her ministers
during important political moments' through her high levels of prestige, her determination to master
her knowledge of political affairs, but also her 'strong will and harsh sense of moral righteousness
and self discipline' . Her high–level of influence was especially demonstrated when she was able to
successfully mediate conflicts between the Commons and the Lords during the much–debated
passing of the Irish Church Disestablishment Act of 1869 and the 1884 Reform Act. When she first
became queen, there were no clear means of the true political role of the crown – let alone the
permanence of the monarchy itself. The aim of her rule was to cement the British monarchy into
everyday British life. During her early years of being queen, her political confidant was the then–
current British Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne; however this role changed to her husband. Victoria
was famous for her relationships with the ever–changing Prime Ministers during her time of rule –
which ranged from affectionate to cold. No matter who was Prime Minister, she demanded to be
informed of political matters – even though she had no political input, and necessitated all aspects of
business and administrative details that occurred in politics. Because her role did not exude copious
amounts of power in the political affairs of Britain, Queen Victoria principally engaged her role of
the crown to include the monarchy

The Hong Kong government, on the other hand, has a head of government known as the Chief
Executive. There are two councils of the Hong Kong government, the Executive Council and the
Legislative Council [2]. The Legislative Council is made up of 60 members, 30 of whom are chosen
through geographical constituencies and 30 of whom are chosen by functional constituencies. They
are in charge of monitoring the government's performance, as well as enacting, amending, or
repelling any laws in accordance to the provisions of the Basic Laws and legal procedures. There
are, however, even more duties of the Legislative Council that are more minor than the ones

The Executive Council primarily assists the Chief Executive in policy–making decisions. Members

During the first of these phases, from the Fort Necessity debacle in 1754 until the expansion of the
war to Europe in 1756, it was primarily a local, North American Conflict. The English did not do
well these first years. There were few British naval reinforcements and so the colonists managed the
war largely on their own. Virtually all–Indian tribes were now allied with the French. Only the
Iroquois had seen themselves forced to the British side and they kept themselves as neutral as
possible. The second phase of the struggle began in 1756 when the governments of France and
England formally opened hostilities and a truly international conflict (The Seven Years' War) began.
The fighting now spread to the West Indies, India, and Europe itself. But the principal struggle
remained the one in North America where so far England had suffered nothing but frustration and
defeat. Beginning in 1757, William Pitt, the English secretary of state, began to transform the war
effort by bringing it for the first time fully under British control. He did this at first by forcing
supplies, equipment, shelter, and manpower from the colonists. This was cause for much resentment
among the colonists, who resisted this new imposition and firmly, at times even violently, resisted
them. By early 1758, the friction between the British authorities and the colonists was threatening to

The KJV Bible is a book making book. The Bible has served for many purposes over the centuries
and holds so many genres in just one book. The Bible is very interesting because it we could fully

British Literature throughout the centuries because not only did the Bible help to shape the English
speaking language but also has helped very famous British writers to use examples from the bible to
help relate to their topics in which they write upon. One of the most significant sources known as
the KJV helped shape the most common language known to man which is the English–speaking
language. "The King James Bible was a landmark in the history of the English language. The
influence of this work has been incalculable" (Mcgrath 1). "Literary scholars have heaped praise
upon it" (Mcgrath 1). "Without the Bible, the culture of the English speaking world would have been
immeasurably improvised" (Mcgrath 2). "Until the Bible was translated, many English speaking
Christians had to rely on their clergy to tell them about such things" (Mcgrath 2). "Many learned
biblical passages by heart, and found that their written and spoken English was shaped by the
language and imagery of this Bible, without this Bible, there would have been no paradise lost, no

This first Empire was known as a 'mercantile' empire. The idea behind it was to gain as much land in

and potential new markets for British manufacturers'. (Cody, 2000) The Second empire was an

OR 'a situation where one country has a lot of power or influence over others, especially in political

Critical Reflection on the Hidden Influence of the British...
Introduction
When someone becomes a member of the Parliament, he has to swear an oath of allegiance to the
Crown, instead of swearing loyalty to the people who elected him. If he rejects to do so, that
politician will not be able to take his seat and can also be fined. Same happens with judges and other
public servants in the United Kingdom, who are, even if symbolically, servants of the Crown. This,
however, is just a small visible end of the real power that the British –constitutional– monarchy
holds over public employees.
Since the limitation of powers of the Crown in the XVII century the royals have been using their

Until the XVII century British monarchs had absolute power, which meant they had the right to do
anything he wanted as they had been appointed by God. However, after a century of bloody civil
wars, unrest and political tensions –including the execution of Charles I, the Revolution of 1688, the
rise and fall of a Republic and the restoration of the monarchy– the Parliament passed the Bill of
Rights in 1689 (Stoyle, 2011). This document established the first foundations of constitutional
monarchy, that is, a monarchy whose powers are bound by some written and unwritten legal
documents in favour of a more democratic society and ensuring their political impartiality
(Wilkinson, 2006). Thanks to the Bill of Rights the Parliament were able to legislate, rule and elect
members of the Parliament without the Royal interference needed until that moment.
Since then, the British political system has developed giving more power to the Parliament to the
detriment of the Crown. The Royal powers have been limited to "the summoning, proroguing and
dissolution of parliament; the granting of royal assent to bills; (...) the making of treaties, the
declaration of war and the making of peace" as well as to appoint ministers, judges and other public
servants among other rights. The Sovereign also has the privilege of personal immunity. (Maer and
Gay, 2009, p.4).
All these powers, though merely "symbolic" have a huge potential power. Certainly, the Queen has
never either dissolved

Britain's motive to expand the growth and development of South Africa had a positive influence on
South Africa's economy and on the whole nation. As a matter of fact, the British discoveries of
diamonds and other natural minerals and resources in South Africa has played a huge factor in
transforming the nation into an advanced economy. Some of these discoveries include highly
precious diamonds and gold. In fact, the most extreme transformations in South Africa's economy
occurred between 1870 and 1902. As a result of these transformations, the nation was on the verge
of urbanization and industrialization as it began to emerge as an international trader of it's valuable
minerals. One of the industries responsible for inaugurating the transformation of the South African
economy is the diamond industry. This industry commenced operations when thousands of British
citizens moved to South Africa in order to seek their fortune in the 1860s. This incentive resulted in
rapid industrialization as they started diamond diggings in the British colony of South Africa due to
the high probability of striking diamonds. This eventually led to the mining industry since the
mining capitalists purchased the diggers as a joint–stock. The gold industry, started in 1886 and by
1899, it had produced about three–tenths of the world's gold and had investments worth more than
100 million US as gold was used for the world's currencies and was thus had a very big need for it
everywhere. It also had a workforce greater than 100 thousand people thus creating employment for
the society. Apart from the diamond mining and gold, the British who were farmers by profession
played a big part in the agricultural industry of South Africa greatly as they planted rye, barley, and
maize. The British traders played a significant role in growing the business sector of South Africa

During the mid 1650s, tensions between Spain and Britain were high and Britain was looking for a
way to gain a basis of operations in the Caribbean. Through this, it would be easier for Britain to
weaken the influence that Spain held over the New World. In 1654, a fleet sailed from England with
the goal of capturing the island of Hispaniola. This effort proved unsuccessful, and the fleet was
reluctant to return to Britain empty handed. The Spanish defenses at Jamaica were low which made
the invasion of the island successful. Once the British had taken over Jamaica, they were able to
develop a powerful colony with a commercial background based first on privateering and trade, and
later on though sugar plantations and slavery. It was because of these institutions that helped the
British colonial empire to become more powerful than that of any other nation at this time. Though
Jamaica was not the original target for capture during the Anglo–Spanish war, it soon proved to be
one of Britain's most valuable colonies.
Spain held the main sphere of power in the West Indies during the mid 1600s, controlling many of
the islands. With this came a massive trade network and a large amount of political influence. All of

operation in the West Indies from which the British could begin to interfere in Spanish affairs and

The Old British Empire 's Influence On Modern Museums Essay
"The sun never sets on the British Empire" is a phrase that is known all too well in regards to British
Imperialism and colonization spanning over Africa, Asia, North America, Australia, and Europe.
Over the years, England in particular, has had a major influence across the world as a global
superpower by sharing its own technology, culture, religion and more. But as much as they have
shared, they have also taken to enrich their own society with artifacts, designs, foods, and other
aspects of the foreign culture. This dynamic between Great Britain and each colonized country has
immensely shaped modern British museums by expanding the content in museums as it relates to
imperialism, diversifying the artifacts collected from other countries, and the influences it has had
on British society shown through museums collections. The old British Empire 's influence on
modern museums also raised many issues for contemporary curators and audiences concerning
museums glorifying imperialism, the ethically of keeping these collected artifacts, and if the
museums have a subtle underlying imperialistic bias.
To understand why imperialism is such a prominent theme in British museums it is important to
understand the history of British Imperialism in the first place. In the 15th and 16th centuries
Portugal and Spain were leading imperialist powers, sailing the seas and discovering new land and
becoming wealthier from the treasures these places held. After learning of the success

The Influence Of The British Empire
Throughout history The British Empire has shown its dominance of the globe, from having colonies
in the Atlantic to the Pacific as well as having colonies in the Middle and Far East countries of Asia.
The colony that really strengthened the British Empire's dominance in the east was acquiring the
colony of Hong Kong. Having Hong Kong as part of the British Empire helped with trading for
Chinese silk and tea and it also made easier to trade with India; Britain's "Jewel in the Crown." With
Hong Kong and India under its control the British Empire was stronger than ever, that is until the
20th century after World War II. Many historians believed that this time period was when the British
Empire started to come apart since its colonies wanted to achieve their independence. Independence
was finally achieved in Hong Kong in 1997. Since achieving their independence historians have
questioned whether or not Hong Kong has been better with or without the British Empire's
influence. Long before the British influence "Hong Kong was ruled by the Manchus (or Qing)
Emperor's for 300 years." Emperor Qian Long was the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty before the
British acquired Hong Kong. Qian Long did not like that the British wanted to place a representative
in his country. King George had sent a representative to Qian Long in order to propose a trade deal
but Qian Long refused it. He felt that China did not need to trade with Britain because in a way he
felt like China did not need

How Did Gandhi Influence British Imperialism
Throughout modern history, Britain's exponential growth inevitably affected the future of many
nations in the contemporary world– in particular, the culturally intertwined state of India. Even in
the initial stages of colonisation, India was forcefully occupied by the British East India Company;
however, it was not until 1858 that a dictatorship was officially announced and the nation was
forced to regard England as 'the true homeland'. Amidst societal unease and a growing discontent
with the British rulers by the poor peasants, India's emancipation seemed inevitable in order for the
nation to truly progress. In effect, a revolutionary leader spawned; Mohandas Gandhi. His great
philosophical mind held innovative ideas which were instrumental in the achievement of Indian
Independence– with his thoughtful ideologies and beliefs paving the way for oppressed Indians to
ultimately unite against British imperialism. Consequently, this resulted in the monumental
Satyagraha campaign that triumphed successfully against the British authorities. In spite of fierce
British opposition to India's pleas for self–governance, Gandhi continually pressed for a peaceful
response to the dire situation; effectively promoting ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Influence Of British Imperialism
Throughout the late nineteenth century, the British sought to extend their sphere of influence over
surrounding countries. The British Empire used two methods in the aiding of their expansion,
imperialism and hegemony. The text defines imperialism as the extension of one country's sphere of
influence over other countries or regions with the use of force, whereas hegemony is the alternative
to direct rule, with the use of influence and leadership. The British were motivated to expand their
empire through political status, religious concerns, as well as economic growth.
First, the political status of a country during the nineteenth century was solely based on
colonization. A country's power could be maintained or even improved through imperial rule. An
example of the British using imperial rule to improve their political status is seen when Britain
establishes itself as the ruler of India. According to the text, India provided the British Empire with
military and economic power, along with protection of commercial routes, which were the primary
concern of the British imperial strategy. The domination motivated the British Empire to expand

The British Empire had missionary societies, which set out on ships to spread the gospel to the rest
of the world. Through missionaries, Britain was attempting to spread their dominating religion,
Christianity, to other colonies in order to gain imperial rule. It was also common to spread the
dominating country's language through their religious interaction. This not only resulted in the
expansion of the empire, but also in the establishment of many large Christian communities
throughout Africa and Asia that helped to further the British Empire. In gaining the hearts of people
with religion, Britain was gaining more control over land and pushed forward in building the British

Imperialistic nations dominated much of the globe for centuries throughout the course of history.
The British empire was thought to be the most powerful at the apex of its dominance during the 19th
century. At one time, it was said that the sun never set on the British Empire because of their
territories in each hemisphere of the globe. Although the dominance of the British International
Empire subsided following the World Wars, the impact they have left on their colonies and
territories would come to last for decades after and this is evident in both southern and eastern Asia.
One of Great Britain's largest and most successful colonies was that of India. British rule in India
peaked in the middle to late 1800s, and following the partitioning of India from Great Britain, the

The thirteen colonies in North America provided the mother country of Great Britain with raw
materials for a few decades, and the most important crop supplied was cotton. Southeastern North
America has an ideal climate and landscape for producing cotton (dry, warm and flat) unlike the
cool, moist climate of Great Britain. Although the thirteen colonies eventually gained their freedom
in 1776, after a few years, their relationship improved with their former mother country and began
supplying them with cotton again as needed. When the United States Civil War came around, the
States needed all their raw materials for their own uses in the war leaving Great Britain without the
important materials they needed for everyday use such as clothing. Soon after, Britain
acknowledged their shortage of cotton and began looking elsewhere for it, and then came across the
idea of harvesting more of it in

British Influence On Canada In The 1920s And 1930s
Independence, the state of being free from outside control, and not subject to another's authority.
The 1920s and 1930s were a time for Canada to leave its British roots behind and forge its own
identity, as well as take control of all matters relating to the preservation of the country and its
people. However, this was not the case. Canada, although receiving some leeway from the British,
remained a dependent country under the thumb of outside forces due to the fact that they were still
under the British North American Act, thereby not having their own constitution, as well as the
English monarch remaining as the head of state, and because it moved its economic dependence off
the shoulders of one nation and unto another's. Although the Chanak Affair showed that Canada's

Furthermore, Canada remaining under the archaic British North America Act and not drafting its
own constitution meant that the composition of the nation and the government was in the hands of
the British Parliament, which denies the Canadians the luxury of dictating the structure and make–
up of their own country. Now, one may say that Canada weakened its economic ties with Britain and
was therefore no longer economically dependent on them, but the fact of the matter is that all we did
was shift our dependence onto another nation, the United States. By 1926, America's yearly
investment in the Canadian economy had risen up to $3400 million (as opposed to $2000 million in
1920) mainly in the exporting of Canadian resources to the United States. In addition to that,
American companies built "branch plants", which were made to avoid having to pay trade tariffs,
making this a pretty one–sided trade

British Influence in Canadian Government
Canada's Relationship with Britain British influence on Canadian government Many of the political
pressures in Canada today have their roots in the way the country was shaped politically over 150
years ago. How we do things now is based on institutions of government that go back even further.
Eugene A. Forsey, until his death considered the foremost expert on the Canadian Constitution,
wrote in how Canadians govern themselves: "it is necessary to understand that our written
Constitution, unlike the American, is not a single document. It is a collection of 24 documents: 13
acts of the British Parliament, seven of the Canadian, and four British orders–in–council." Her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II published that booklet in conjunction with the signing of the Canada
Act. In addition to providing the Charter of Rights, The Canada Act did several things. Forsey
wrote: "Under the terms of the Canada Act, the Constitution Act, 1982 was proclaimed in Canada....
"Under the Constitution Act, 1982, the British North America Act and its various amendments
(1871, 1886, 1907, 1915, 1930, 1940, 1960, 1964, 1965, 1974, 1975) became the Constitution Acts,
1867–1975. "More important, it made four big changes in our Constitution. "First, it established four
legal formulas or processes for amending the Constitution.... "The second big change made by the

Religious Influence Of Tolerance In The British Colonies
Tolerance in the British colonies varied, mainly depending on the diversity levels where they were
founded. In some of the colonies, there were laws established so the importance of Christianity
would be conserved. Other colonies were welcoming to different religions, and executed either
limited or full tolerance for those religions. Unfortunately, colonies that were bigoted enough to
damage fabrications of differing religious views or the belief itself existed.
Throughout the British colonies, different laws based off of religious view were formed in order to
preserve Christianity and drive away any religion that didn't praise God. In Pennsylvania, there was
a law enacted by the founder of the province, William Penn, that denied anyone to practice any
religion that didn't recognize God as creator of the world. If anyone was to disobey this law, they
would molested or would be prejudiced for their conflicting practice. Additionally, the law stated if
someone weren't to worship God, and showed it outside of their own home, they would be
considered a disturber of peace, and would be punished appropriately. A similar law was ratified
previously in the charter of Rhode Island, where someone could be disquieted, punished, and called
in for questioning if they had an opposing opinion of religion. Other laws that reinforced
Christianity were stressed as well, like laws that prevented work on the Lord's Day, or Sunday, to
instead worship God. Again in Pennsylvania, people were

After his election in 1951, Mohammad Mossadegh became the prime minister to the Iranian ruler,
Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. Prior to this time, there existed an oil company in Iran called the
Anglo–Iranian oil company. Although it was Iranian oil, because the British had discovered it first,
they claimed it to be theirs and took main control over the Iranian oil, the company and the clients of
this company were all Europeans. After the Second World War, the British economy was very poor

birthplace of modern democracy. Therefore, it is understandable that Britain is a traditional oriented

The walls of the house are alike to the "traditional pageantry and ceremony of Britain's political
structure" (Gannon, 2016, p 227), without this the government would not be as powerful and the
house would not stand as tall. Children in Britain are taught from an early age to avoid control
spontaneity, and behavior is usually perceived as right and wrong with only one way of doing
something right, the "British way". In Britain, "For the most part there is only one right way to do
just about anything–from greeting guests to waging war" (Gannon, 2016, p 231). The strict
expectation of behavior and control of spontaneity are alike to the traditional house, a tried and
tested design. If change does come to the house and the people of Britain it will be a painstakingly
slow and gradual process over the years of "weathering". The traditional house therefore provides a
great metaphor for understand the past–oriented and tradition bound society of Britain. The focus of

and Portuguese trading companies in the Indian subcontinent. India had great proficient dyers and
weavers that created cloth which went in demand throughout Asia and England. The company by
1690 "had trading centers (known as factories) all along the West and East of India" (The [British

result, the British East India Company started to grow Opium in India to pay to the Chinese. By
