Open door policy in china
The Open Door Policy was a United States foreign policy proposed in 1899-1900 that called for equal commercial access to China for all foreign countries. At the time, only major powers like Britain received special trade privileges in China. The Open Door Policy asked all foreign powers to respect China's territorial integrity while granting equal commercial terms. Most major European powers accepted the policy, though China itself did not. The United States worked to uphold the Open Door Policy during conflicts such as the Boxer Rebellion in 1900 and it was reaffirmed in 1922, though China began asserting more independence in the 1920s-1930s which increased tensions with Japan and led to war.
European Monarchies Consolidated Power And Began Forming Nation States
During the late medieval period, several European monarchies consolidated power and began forming nation-states, including England, France, Spain, and Russia. In England, William the Conqueror united most of the country after the Norman Conquest in 1066. King John signed the Magna Carta in 1215, which limited royal power and guaranteed basic political rights. The Hundred Years' War between England and France from 1337 to 1453 helped further establish England as a nation. In France, the Capetian dynasty expanded control over most of the country, and Joan of Arc served as a unifying figure. Ferdinand and Isabella unified Spain and expelled the Muslim Moors. The Crusades from 1096 to 129

The document summarizes events involving two powerful rulers in the early 16th century: Charles V of Spain and France, and Suleiman the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire. It discusses Charles' efforts to control his territories and ally with England and France. Meanwhile, Suleiman sought to expand the Ottoman Empire into Italy and Rhodes. As the two rulers consolidated power, Martin Luther furthered the Protestant Reformation in Germany, angering the Catholic Church. Henry VIII and Francis I of France also renewed their rivalry, preparing for war despite peace negotiations. Suleiman captured Belgrade and set his sights on Rhodes while Western Europe moved toward religious conflict.
Feudalism & Rise of European Monarchies
Feudalism involved a decentralized political system where private lords held powers like taxation, justice, and defense after being granted land. In countries like England and France, strong monarchies gradually centralized these powers under the crown from the 11th century onward. This helped lay the foundations for the rise of national monarchies as feudal lords' powers declined and royalty asserted more direct control over their lands and subjects.

Rise of Nation States in Medieval Europe
In the Late Medieval Period, European monarchies began consolidating power and forming independent nation-states that controlled large territories, unlike city-states. Nation-states such as England, France, and Spain expanded their territories and centralized royal power through conquest and internal reforms. This led to the emergence of strong centralized governments and a sense of national identity defined by shared culture, language, and history in these European powers.
England And France Develop
England absorbed many invaders over time, including the Angles, Saxons, and Vikings. In 1066, William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, invaded England and claimed the English crown after defeating King Harold at the Battle of Hastings. He established a centralized government and gave lands to Norman lords. English kings aimed to hold onto French lands and strengthen power over nobles. Henry II introduced the use of juries in royal courts and common law developed through case rulings. The Magna Carta guaranteed rights and limited royal power in response to King John's actions. Parliament emerged with the House of Commons representing commoners. Meanwhile, the Capetian dynasty in France expanded royal control over lands from Paris and
The opium wars
The Opium Wars were two wars in the 19th century between Britain and China over Britain's trade of opium into China in violation of Chinese law. The First Opium War (1839-1842) resulted in China ceding Hong Kong to Britain and opening five treaty ports. The Second Opium War (1856-1860) further expanded foreign influence in China and legalized the opium trade, opening more ports and allowing foreign travel in China. The wars weakened China's Qing dynasty and forced greater foreign involvement in China.

Chinese history opium war 1
The First Opium War (1839-1842) was fought between Britain and China over issues including trade, opium imports, and diplomatic relations. Britain attacked Chinese ports to force acceptance of opium imports into China after Chinese officials seized opium from British traders. The Treaty of Nanking in 1842 ended the war, opening more Chinese ports to British trade but not fully resolving disputes, leading to the Second Opium War years later.
Boxer uprising
The Boxer Uprising was a violent anti-foreign, anti-Christian movement that took place in China between 1899-1901. It was a response to foreign occupation and Christian missionary activity in China following the Opium Wars. The uprising was supported by the Empress Dowager Cixi as a way to direct discontent against foreign powers instead of the Manchu government. However, the uprising failed when foreign powers sent military forces to China, defeated the Boxers, and made China sign a humiliating treaty imposing heavy reparations. The uprising further weakened China's power internationally and paved the way for the nationalist revolution of 1911.

28.3 united states economic imperialism
The document discusses United States economic imperialism in Latin America during the 19th century. After independence from European colonial powers, Latin American countries struggled with political instability under military dictators known as caudillos. Their economies remained focused on exporting raw materials, making them dependent on foreign trade. The United States and other powers increasingly pressured Latin America economically and politically through the century, culminating in the Roosevelt Corollary that justified U.S. intervention as an "international police power" in the region.
The Opium Wars
The document discusses China's foreign trade policies from the late Ming dynasty through the Opium Wars in the mid-19th century. It describes how the Qing dynasty maintained strict control over foreign trade but still benefited greatly from taxes on imports like tea. British demand for tea skyrocketed in the 1700s. To reverse China's trade surplus, Britain grew opium in India and traded it to China, leading to widespread addiction. When China banned opium, Britain went to war to protect the trade, seizing Hong Kong in the First Opium War. The wars opened more Chinese ports to trade and legalized the opium trade, weakening Qing authority.
The british empire
The British Empire rose to power between 1583 and 1783 through colonization efforts and the East India Company. It reached its peak between 1815 and 1914 during the Imperial Century through expansion in Africa and Asia. However, the empire declined after World War 2 as colonies gained independence, and the empire formally ended in 1997 as the last British overseas territories were handed over.
Imperialism
Imperialism involved European powers expanding their influence and control over foreign lands and peoples in the 19th century for various political, economic, religious, and strategic reasons. The key motivations for British imperialism in Africa included using resources and markets to boost the economy and maintaining control over important trade routes like the Suez Canal. While imperialism benefited European nations, it often exploited local populations and disrupted existing societies. Decolonization in the late 19th/20th centuries granted independence to formerly subject nations and led to a reduction of overt racism between colonizers and colonized groups.
The British colonial Empire
The document summarizes the rise and growth of the British colonial empire from the 16th century until the late 19th century. It details how England established colonies in North America and exploited the slave trade to develop prosperous plantations. England also came to dominate trade in India, defeating French and Dutch rivals. At its peak, the British Empire spanned the globe and was the largest empire in world history.
Glorious revolution
The Glorious Revolution occurred in 1688-1689 when King James II, a Roman Catholic, was replaced as monarch by his Protestant daughter Mary and her husband William of Orange from the Netherlands. James II faced opposition over his pro-Catholic policies like suspending anti-Catholic laws. When James II had a Catholic son in 1688, Protestants feared a permanent Catholic dynasty so invited William to invade England, which he did successfully as James fled to France. William and Mary then agreed to rule as joint monarchs under the conditions of the new Bill of Rights that established England as a constitutional monarchy.
French Absolutism and absolute monarchs
An absolute monarch is a king or queen who holds all political power within their kingdom or state. They are not bound by laws or a constitution and believe they have divine right to rule however they choose. Two examples of absolute monarchs are Louis XIV of France, known as the "Sun King", and James I of England.
French revolution
Prior to the revolution, France was one of the most powerful countries in Europe but was in deep financial crisis due to years of war and debt. As economic conditions deteriorated, resentment grew among commoners towards the privileged nobility and clergy. On July 14, 1789, protesters stormed the Bastille prison, marking the start of the French Revolution. Over the next few years, the monarchy was overthrown and King Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette were executed for treason, leading to the establishment of a republic. However, internal power struggles and the Reign of Terror led by Robespierre resulted in thousands of deaths before a new, more moderate government came to power.
Who is this man
Philip III's pacifist policies led to peace treaties, but the Twelve Years Truce with the Netherlands was very expensive. He expelled the Moriscos in 1609, deporting 275,000 people and ruining many regions. Philip IV left government responsibilities to the Count-Duke of Olivares, whose foreign and domestic policies were unpopular and led to revolts in Catalonia and Portugal declaring independence. The Thirty Years War ended Spanish supremacy in Europe with the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia. Charles II was ill and unable to rule effectively, starting a civil war over succession without an heir.

I. Introduction
World War I (“The Great War”) toppled empires, created new nations, and sparked tensions that would explode across future years. On the battle-
field, gruesome modern weaponry wrecked an entire generation of young men. The United States entered the conflict in 1917 and was never again
the same. The war heralded to the world the United States’ potential as a global military power, and, domestically, it advanced but then beat back
American progressivism by unleashing vicious waves of repression. The war simultaneously stoked national pride and fueled disenchantments that
burst Progressive Era hopes for the modern world. And it laid the groundwork for a global depression, a second world war, and an entire history of
national, religious, and cultural conflict around the globe.

al powers and influences into several decades of European peace. In Germany, however, a new ambitious monarch would overshadow years of tact-
ful diplomacy. Wilhelm II rose to the German throne in 1888. He admired the British Empire of his grandmother, Queen Victoria, and envied the
Royal Navy of Great Britain so much that he attempted to build a rival German navy and plant colonies around the globe. The British viewed the
prospect of a German navy as a strategic threat, but, jealous of what he perceived as a lack of prestige in the world, Wilhelm II pressed Germany’s
case for access to colonies and symbols of status suitable for a world power. Wilhelm’s maneuvers and Germany’s rise spawned a new system of al-
liances as rival nations warily watched Germany’s expansion.
In 1892, German posturing worried the leaders of Russia and France and prompted a defensive alliance to counter the existing triple threat be-
tween Germany, Austro-Hungary, and Italy. Britain’s Queen Victoria remained unassociated with the alliances until a series of diplomatic crises
and an emerging German naval threat led to British agreements with Tsar Nicholas II and French President Émile Loubet in the early twentieth
century. (The alliance between Great Britain, France, and Russia became known as the Triple Entente.)
The other great threat to European peace was the Ottoman Empire, in Turkey. While the leaders of the Austro-Hungarian Empire sho ...
Comrades In Conflict
This document provides background information on the conflict between China and Vietnam in 1979. It discusses the long history of conflict and domination between the two countries dating back thousands of years. China occupied Vietnam for 1,000 years and was the greatest threat to Vietnam's sovereignty and identity. There were many Vietnamese rebellions against Chinese rule led by heroes like Trieu Da and the Trung sisters.

It sets up how these tensions would later erupt into the brief Sino-Vietnamese war of 1979.

WWI Perspective on Civilization
The First World War erupted in 1914 and resulted in massive loss of life and changed the world order. Before the war, Europe had never been more powerful, but the war marked the end of Christian advance and the beginning of extreme persecution. The war was the most catastrophic event in European civilization and involved more soldiers and casualties than any previous war. It was a total war that mobilized all of societies' resources. The war had complex and intertwined causes related to militarism, imperialism, nationalism, and the alliance system among European powers. The war reshaped politics and economies around the world and diminished European dominance.
H12 ch 1-2_20th_century_2013
The document discusses the rise of the nation state in Europe from the 17th century onward and some of the conflicts that arose from competition between powerful nation states leading up to World War I. It describes how European powers established colonies overseas in pursuit of resources to fuel their industrial growth in the late 19th century. Rising tensions between nation states like Germany, Britain, and Russia contributed to conflicts such as the Franco-Prussian War, Boer Wars, and Russo-Japanese War. Ethnocentric views of cultural and racial superiority also justified colonial expansion. These global rivalries and displays of nationalism set the stage for World War I.

Why should Emperor Conrad lead the crusades? Use bible verse.
Solution
The word \"crusade\" literally means \"going to the Cross.\" Hence the idea at the time was to
urge Christian warriors to go to Palestine and free Jerusalem and other holy places from Muslim
domination. The first crusade was a grand success for the Christian armies; Jerusalem and other
cities fell to the knights. The second crusade, however, ended in humiliation in 1148, when the
armies of France and Germany failed to take Damascus. The third ended in 1192 in a
compromise between English king Richard the Lion-Hearted of England and the Muslim leader
Saladin, who granted access to Christians to the holy places. The fourth crusade led to the
sacking of Constantinople, where a Latin Kingdom of Byzantium was set up in 1204 and lasted
for about 60 years. The Children\'s Crusade of 1212 ended with thousands of children being sold
into slavery, lost, or killed. Other less disastrous but equally futile crusades occurred until nearly
the end of the 13th century. The last Latin outpost in the Muslim world fell in 1291.
Historians have viewed the Crusades as a mixture of benefits and horrors. On one hand, there
was a new knowledge of the East and the possibilities of trade to be found there, not to mention
the spread of Christianity. On the other hand, Christianity was spread in a violent, militaristic
manner, and the result was that new areas of possible trade turned into new areas of conquest and
bloodshed. A number of non-Christians lost their lives to Christian armies in this era, and this
trend would continue in the inquisitions of the coming centuries.
The Crusades were a series of wars by Western European Christians to recapture the Holy Land
from the Muslims. The Crusades began in 1095 and ended in the mid- or late 13th century. The
term Crusade was originally applied solely to European efforts to retake from the Muslims the
city of Jerusalem, which was sacred to Christians as the site of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It
was later used to designate any military effort by Europeans against non-Christians.
The Crusaders carved out feudal states in the Near East. Thus the Crusades are an important
early part of the story of European expansion and colonialism. They mark the first time Western
Christendom undertook a military initiative far from home, the first time significant numbers left
to carry their culture and religion abroad.
In addition to the campaigns in the East, the Crusading movement includes other wars against
Muslims, pagans, and dissident Christians and the general expansion of Christian Europe. In a
broad sense the Crusades were an expression of militant Christianity and European expansion.
They combined religious interests with secular and military enterprises. Christians learned to live
in different cultures, which they learned and absorbed; they also imposed something of their own
characteristics on these cultures. The Crusades strongly affected the imagina.

Crusade slide show
The Fifth Crusade was launched in 1213 with the goal of conquering Egypt in order to weaken the Ayyubid state and retake Jerusalem and the Holy Land. It involved around 32,000 men from Europe fighting against the Ayyubids in Egypt. The crusaders marched to Cairo but then the Nile flooded, blocking their retreat.
