The origins of the American Revolution can be traced back to the loosening of ties between the British colonies in North America and England in the early 18th century. This was due to Parliament gaining more power over the empire while the King's power diminished. Further strain was placed on colonial ties following the French and Indian War from 1750-1760, after which the British imposed new mercantilist trade policies like the Sugar Act of 1764 and Stamp Act of 1765 to raise revenue from the colonies. These acts antagonized colonists by taxing them without their consent or representation in Parliament, sparking widespread protest and fueling the growing colonial movement for independence.

History american revolution-less video
The American Revolution began with the French and Indian War from 1752-1763, where the British and colonists fought against the French and Native Americans. After winning, Britain issued laws like the Proclamation of 1763 and Stamp Act in the 1760s to raise money from the colonies to pay war debts. This caused growing tensions as the colonists objected to "taxation without representation" in Britain's parliament. Notable figures like Patrick Henry argued the king had no right to override colonial laws. Resentment towards British control and unfair economic policies led the colonies to start protesting British taxation and authority over the colonies.

This economic strength enabled America to engage in overseas expansion, including heavily investing in Cuban sugar plantations and noting the strategic importance of the island. Key figures like Theodore Roosevelt and William McKinley played roles in America's imperialist actions under the administrations of McKinley and Roosevelt. While some like Senator Hoar opposed foreign intervention, others like Senator Lodge supported a more aggressive imperialistic stance.
United states imperialism in guatemala
United States imperialism in Guatemala involved American business interests, particularly the United Fruit Company, gaining control of Guatemalan land and political systems in the early 20th century. The United Fruit Company was given tax exemptions, land grants, and control of much of the country's Atlantic coast by President Manuel Estrada Cabrera. Later, President Jorge Ubico allowed the United Fruit Company to gain control of 42% of Guatemalan land. Critics argue this led the United Fruit Company to effectively control Guatemala's political systems and economy for its own profit, often through repressive regimes. Supporters note the company developed previously unused land and reduced Guatemala's dependence on coffee.

Imperialism
- In the early 1800s, Britain traded tea and silk from China but China was not interested in British goods. This caused Britain to start smuggling large amounts of opium into China. When China banned opium and closed ports, Britain attacked, opening five ports to British trade through the 1842 Treaty of Nanking. This began Britain's imperial expansion into China for economic and nationalistic motives.

The Impact of the French and Indian War
To get to the point of revolution took a few years and several actions on the part of the British. To begin, we must look back to 1763 and the end of the French and Indian War. This was the first true world war in human history and made England a truly great empire. In truth, the sun never set on the British Empire.
But wars cost money, lots and lots of money. The treasury of Great Britain was in dire need of a large infusion of funds. Since the taxpayers in England thought they were already too burdened to accept more taxes, the only logical place to look for money was in the colonies.
After all, reasoned the governing circles in London, was not this war fought for the benefit of those colonies? They have never been burdened like we have, it is time they pay their fair share of taxes to pay off this huge debt. There is only one hitch in this scenario. The colonists had no representation in Parliament. According to English law and tradition, no one can be taxed unless they have representation in Parliament.
The British government sought to use “virtual representation” to argue that the colonists were indeed represented. Leaders on both sides of the Atlantic knew this fiction for what it was. In 1763, American colonists were proud to call themselves "Englishmen", but as the years rolled by, they began to realize that Englishmen in England did not see them as anything more than subjects of the crown, not brothers in citizenship.
The American colonists continually resisted attempts by the government in London to tax them. They recognized the truth in the words of the Commonwealthmen, that liberty must be zealously guarded and that it can never compromise with power. The acceptance of even one tax, however small and innocuous, would have started them on the dark road to doom. Acceptance of a small tax would make it easier to accept another and another and another until their liberty had been lost to tyranny.
The efforts of the British to enforce payment of taxes only further reinforced the tenets of liberty in the minds of the colonists. The British knew that Boston was the center of resistance so they began stationing regular British troops there after several taxes had been repealed due to colonial boycotts. These troops were quartered in the homes of the colonists. Imagine a situation where three or four or five Redcoats are sent to live in your house. They are armed while you most likely are not. They will sleep in your bed, eat your food, use your facilities, and you will not receive one shilling in compensation. This is a direct assault on liberty.
Formation of the Continental Congress
As events continued, both sides stiffened their necks. The British were determined to put the colonists in their place while the colonists were equally determined to resist. The point-of-no-return loomed ever nearer. In 1774, a Continental Congress met to decide what to do in response to British provocations. Th ...

China had been the dominant power in East Asia for centuries, but a series of events in the 19th century led to its decline and humiliation at the hands of Western imperial powers. The opium wars, in which China was defeated by Britain, forced the legalization of the opium trade and concessions to Western powers. This convinced Chinese intellectuals that China must modernize and industrialize in order to strengthen itself against the West. Further, China's defeat by Japan in 1894-95 reversed the traditional power dynamic, with Japan now superior to China. These events were devastating blows that ultimately led to the end of dynastic rule in China and decades of unrest.
Effects Of The Treaty Of Nanking
The document discusses some of the moral dilemmas Thomas Jefferson faced regarding the Louisiana Purchase. As a strict constitutionalist, Jefferson questioned whether the federal government had the authority to acquire foreign territory. The purchase also raised issues around governing the new territories and determining the status of Native Americans living there. Additionally, Jefferson had to decide whether or not to extend slavery into the Louisiana territory, which went against his personal views but angered slaveholders. The Louisiana Purchase fundamentally altered Jefferson's vision for the country and challenged his constitutional beliefs.
Len mei - the last days of an empire
The document provides background on the decline and fall of the Qing Dynasty in China in the late 19th century.

Jules Ferry (1832-1893):
On French Colonial Expansion
Ferry was twice prime minister of France, from [1880-1881, 1883-1885]. He is especially remembered for
championing laws that removed Catholic influence from most education in France and for promoting a vast extension
of the French colonial empire.
The policy of colonial expansion is a political and economic system ... that can be connected to three sets of ideas:
economic ideas; the most far-reaching ideas of civilization; and ideas of a political and patriotic sort.
In the area of economics, I am placing before you, with the support of some statistics, the considerations that justify
the policy of colonial expansion, as seen from the perspective of a need, felt more and more urgently by the
industrialized population of Europe and especially the people of our rich and hardworking country of France: the need
for outlets [for exports]. Is this a fantasy? Is this a concern [that can wait] for the future? Or is this not a pressing
need, one may say a crying need, of our industrial population? I merely express in a general way what each one of
you can see for himself in the various parts of France. Yes, what our major industries [textiles, etc.], irrevocably
steered by the treaties of 18601 into exports, lack more and more are outlets. Why? Because next door Germany is
setting up trade barriers; because across the ocean the United States of America have become protectionists, and
extreme protectionists at that; because not only are these great markets ... shrinking, becoming more and more
difficult of access, but these great states are beginning to pour into our own markets products not seen there before.
This is true not only for our agriculture, which has been so sorely tried ... and for which competition is no longer
limited to the circle of large European states.... Today, as you know, competition, the law of supply and demand,
freedom of trade, the effects of speculation, all radiate in a circle that reaches to the ends of the earth.... That is a
great complication, a great economic difficulty; ... an extremely serious problem. It is so serious ...
