The Royal Niger Company was founded in 1879 and was instrumental in spreading British influence in West Africa, especially along the Niger River. It consolidated British trading interests under one company and aggressively expanded through treaties and force. In 1882 it became the National African Company and was granted a royal charter in 1886, giving it authority to administer the Niger territories. The company established a government and trade monopoly in the region, but faced criticism over its oppressive practices from local groups, other European traders, and the British government. It struggled financially yet maintained control of the Niger territories for over a decade through the determination of its leaders.

George Taubman Goldie was a British businessman who founded the Royal Niger Company in 1886. He consolidated trading companies along the Niger River to form a monopoly that placed the region under British control. Through this company, Goldie was able to prevent France and Germany from gaining influence in the region. This helped establish British control over what would later become modern-day Nigeria and shaped its history under colonial rule.

The document summarizes the key events of the Anglo-Boer Wars fought between the British and Dutch settlers known as Boers in South Africa between 1880-1902. It provides historical context starting from the arrival of the British in 1800. Tensions rose due to mineral discoveries in Boer territory, culminating in two wars over control of the land and its resources. The first war ended in 1881 with Boer independence but British control over foreign policy. The second was more devastating, ending in the British victory and Treaty of Vereeniging in 1902.
The document summarizes the history of diamond discovery and mining in South Africa. It describes how diamonds were discovered in 1867, sparking massive immigration from Britain and economic growth. Tensions arose between British settlers and Boers over mining rights, culminating in the Boer Wars from 1899-1902. The largest diamond ever found, the Cullinan diamond, was unearthed in South Africa in 1905 and later cut into pieces that became part of the British crown jewels.
The document summarizes the early history of European exploration and settlement in North America, focusing on England's first colonies in Virginia. It describes England's first settlement on Roanoke Island under Sir Walter Raleigh. It then discusses the founding of Jamestown in 1607 as the first permanent English settlement, noting the difficulties colonists faced with disease, harsh winters, and lack of food and water. It highlights the roles of John Smith and Pocahontas in establishing relations with local Native Americans and finding food sources. The summary concludes that tobacco eventually became a cash crop and indentured servants were used to meet labor demands, while self-government began through the establishment of the House of Burgesses.
In the late nineteenth century, the politics and culture of the Boer Republics clashed with the modernizing movement of the Uitlanders on the quickly rising Reef.
The War of 1812 began as tensions escalated between the United States and Britain over British interference with American shipping and impressment of American sailors. President Madison declared war in June 1812. While the US faced several defeats early in the war, including the surrender of Detroit, later victories like the Battle of Lake Erie shifted momentum. Fighting continued until the Treaty of Ghent was ratified on February 17, 1815, ending the war without resolving the original causes of conflict.
History of Canada- Exploration, Colonization, & Changes in Poweresample458
The First Nations people crossed the Bering Land Bridge and settled in Canada over 12,000 years ago. The Inuit are one of the First Nations still living in Canada today, notably in the territory of Nunavut. Europeans first arrived in Canada in 1000 CE as Norse settlers but later abandoned the settlement. John Cabot claimed eastern Canada for England in 1497. French explorer Jacques Cartier claimed the area along the St. Lawrence River for France in 1534, later establishing Quebec City in 1608. Britain defeated France in the French and Indian War, gaining control of Canada through the 1763 Treaty of Paris. Canada's increasing cultural diversity led to its confederation as a self-governing dominion within
Key economic, political and social characteristics of the southern coloniesmprepster
The southern colonies of Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia were founded for reasons like religious freedom and opportunities for wealth and trade. Their economies centered around agriculture, plantations, and cash crops like tobacco due to fertile soil. Slavery became prevalent as the plantation system grew and required large amounts of labor. The first representative government in the English colonies was the Virginia House of Burgesses. The treatment of slaves on the plantations and during transport was extremely cruel and inhumane.
After World War 2, many African nations gained independence from European colonial powers starting with Liberia in 1822 and ending with Zimbabwe in 1980. However, independence brought numerous challenges including borders that divided ethnic groups, a lack of trained professionals, weak new governments, widespread poverty, political instability deterring investment, and disease like AIDS ravaging parts of Africa. The Organization of African Unity was formed in 1963 with goals of loose cooperation between states on foreign policy, defense, economics and education, as well as liberating territories still under colonial rule like South Africa. South Africa implemented the system of apartheid in 1948, dividing its population by race until Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress helped end apartheid and establish multi-racial democracy and elections
Nationalism grew stronger in several countries in the 1800s:
- Matthew Perry forced Japan to open to trade in 1853, helping end its isolationist period and spurring modernization.
- Greece gained independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1832 after revolting with foreign support.
- Mohammed Ali modernized Egypt in the early 1800s, establishing an Egyptian national identity.
- The Indian Rebellion of 1857 resisted British rule in India, leading the British to take formal control and begin the British Raj period of rule.
The document discusses colonialism in Nigeria by European powers like Britain in the late 1800s. It explains that at the Berlin Conference, European nations divided up Africa without input from local groups. In Nigeria, Britain established control over Northern Nigeria in 1900 and used tactics to divide ethnic groups. Colonialism disrupted traditional Nigerian society and culture by imposing Christianity, English language and European-style governance. This caused reactions among Nigerians and damaged bonds between communities, as depicted in the novel Things Fall Apart.
The document summarizes key events in Irish history surrounding the War of Independence and establishment of the Irish Free State. It describes the aftermath of the 1916 Easter Rising, including executions and imprisonment of leaders. It then discusses the rise of Sinn Féin and Michael Collins, the first meeting of the Dáil Éireann, the War of Independence fought using guerrilla tactics, Bloody Sunday, and the partitioning of Ireland. Finally, it outlines the negotiations of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, the divide in opinion it caused, and Britain withdrawing from Dublin Castle in 1922.
The Federal Reserve System is the central banking system of the United States. Its goals are to help achieve stable prices, full employment, and economic growth. It is structured with regional Federal Reserve Banks and a Board of Governors to represent regional interests in national policy decisions. The Federal Reserve uses tools like open market operations and interest rate changes to influence overall spending, employment, and prices in the economy. It also supervises banks to promote safety and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and provides services to banks and the public.

The Radical Republicans took control of Reconstruction after Lincoln's assassination. They established the Freedmen's Bureau to help former slaves and passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. However, white supremacist groups like the KKK used violence and intimidation. Rufus Bullock became governor of Georgia but unrest continued until military rule was restored. The Compromise of 1877 ended Reconstruction, leaving the South under Democratic control.
Political changes in the interior, 1750 1820Maretha Spies
Political changes among the southern Tswana chiefdoms increased dramatically after 1750 due to growing populations, competition over resources, and European colonial expansion. Severe droughts and shifting alliances between chiefdoms led to more conflicts and disputes over cattle, land, and trade. As trade with Europeans through intermediaries like the Kora and Griqua grew, some Tswana chiefs became wealthier and more powerful, absorbing smaller chiefdoms and attracting more followers to form larger settlements. By the late 18th century, these political transformations resulted in expanded and more powerful southern Tswana chiefdoms with some settlements containing over 100 homesteads.

The Land Ordinance of 1785 established a system for surveying and selling land in the Northwest Territory, comprising the modern Midwest states, in order to raise revenue for the new U.S. government. It mandated dividing the territory into townships of 36 sections of one square mile each, reserving certain sections in each township for public schools and future sale by the federal government. The ordinance laid the foundation for land policy and distribution in the U.S., establishing a framework to spread democratic ideals through education and private land ownership.
President Johnson used his political experience and skills to push through Kennedy's agenda and expand it with his own Great Society programs. Johnson passed major civil rights legislation, launched the War on Poverty through programs like Medicaid and Job Corps, and created new education programs. However, Johnson's domestic reforms declined as attention shifted to the escalating Vietnam War, which consumed increasing resources and divided the nation.
This document summarizes the constitutional development in Nigeria from 1914 to 1999. It discusses the various constitutions introduced during the colonial period by the British to consolidate imperial control, which Nigerians had little involvement in drafting. Post-independence, military regimes utilized constitution drafting to consolidate and prolong their rule. The 1999 constitution is considered a hasty product of the departing military junta. It retains aspects of centralized power from the military era, contributing to calls for its amendment.

The document provides background on Shehu Usman Dan Fodio and the society he lived in. It describes the Fulani and Hausa peoples and the emergence of Islam in West Africa. By the 18th century, the Hausa states practiced a syncretic form of Islam that incorporated pagan traditions. This led to tensions between Muslim scholars and nominal Muslim rulers. The scholars saw the need for a pure Islamic society and administration based fully on Islamic law and ideals. Shehu Usman Dan Fodio emerged as a leader seeking to address these issues and reform Hausa society.

The document summarizes themes related to the American colonies in the prerevolutionary period:
1) Newport, Rhode Island grew into a rich commercial center through activities like piracy and smuggling, drawing a cosmopolitan mix of residents, until British crackdowns led over half to relocate.
2) British laws structured trade to benefit British merchants, forcing colonists to pay trade deficits in precious metals and restricting paper money, causing shortages.
3) The Gaspee incident of 1772 united the colonies through new Committees of Correspondence, taking the first steps toward nationhood.
The document discusses how the British East India Company gradually expanded its influence and control in India from a trading entity to a territorial power. It began as a trading company established in 1600 with a royal charter from Queen Elizabeth I. Through the 17th and 18th centuries, the Company battled other European trading powers for control of the lucrative spice and textile trade. As conflicts with local rulers in Bengal intensified over taxation and concessions, the Company emerged victorious in the Battle of Plassey in 1757. This marked the beginning of the Company establishing political authority. It installed a puppet ruler and assumed the diwani, or right to collect revenues, of Bengal in 1765. The Company then expanded its influence over other Indian states
From Trade to Territory,The Company Establishes PowerVirda Azmi
The East India Company began as a small trading organization in 1600 but over time expanded its power in India through a combination of trade, battles, and political manipulation. After defeating the Nawab of Bengal at the Battle of Plassey in 1757, the Company established control over Bengal and installed puppet rulers. As the Company sought to expand trade, it increasingly took on political and territorial control. By the late 18th century, the Company had eliminated or subjugated rival European trading companies and powerful Indian rulers like the Nawab of Bengal and Tipu Sultan of Mysore. The Company then began directly governing large parts of India and implemented policies like subsidiary alliances and the Doctrine of Lapse to further expand

The document discusses changes and exchanges in Africa between 1750-1870, including the establishment of new states in Africa, Muslim reform movements in West Africa that led to new states like the Sokoto Caliphate, modernization efforts in Egypt under Muhammad Ali, European exploration of Africa's rivers, abolition of the slave trade, growth of legitimate trade, expansion of palm oil exports, development of secondary empires based on the ivory and slave trades, and British rule over India through the East India Company.
The document discusses the establishment of colonialism in Africa, including the methods used by colonial powers to impose colonial rule and African reactions to colonialism. Some key points:
1. Colonial powers used various tactics to establish colonial rule, including signing treaties with African leaders, military conquest, forming alliances, and introducing Western education and infrastructure.
2. Africans resisted colonial rule in various ways as they were not willing to be colonized and lose their independence and sovereignty. Some collaborated while others openly resisted through uprisings and rebellions.
3. Colonialism ultimately led to European domination over Africa politically, economically, and culturally and the loss of autonomy for African societies. Resistance was unable to prevent
Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles is considered the founder of Singapore because he signed the 1819 treaty that allowed the British to establish a trading settlement on the island. However, William Farquhar developed the early settlement by clearing land, building infrastructure, and defending against the Dutch. John Crawfurd signed the 1824 treaty that made Singapore a British colony. While each contributed in important ways, Raffles' vision and the 1819 treaty he signed established the basis for modern Singapore.

The East India Company began as a trading organization with a royal charter from Queen Elizabeth I in 1600. This allowed it to trade goods between Europe and Asia. Over time, as the Company competed with other European powers for trade and markets, it expanded its territorial control in India through battles and alliances. Key events included the Battle of Plassey in 1757, which gave the Company control of Bengal, and the assumption of the diwani of Bengal in 1765, which provided tax revenue. Through treaties, subsidiary alliances that removed local armed forces, and the Doctrine of Lapse, the Company annexed more Indian states. By the mid-1800s, it had established direct and indirect control over most
Britain emerged from the Napoleonic Wars as the dominant global power, with colonies and bases around the world supporting its naval power and trade dominance. Its empire expanded significantly in this period, most notably in India, where the British East India Company gained control of large territories and became a powerful political entity, transitioning control of India to the British government over time. By 1815 Britain had established colonies in Australia, the Caribbean, southern Africa, and was firmly in control of India and Canada, marking the rise of its "Second Empire" as compensation for the recent loss of the American colonies.

The document summarizes key factors that led to the rise and fall of Venice as a major trading hub between the 5th and 9th centuries. It discusses how Venice emerged as a trading center amid the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. Key factors in Venice's rise included its strategic location, early settlers with trade skills, organized urban planning and government, and economic activities like trade. However, by the 15th century, Venice began to decline due to challenges such as the rise of other trade rivals, incapable leadership, and overdependence on mercenaries. Its trade monopoly and territories were threatened.
Spain became wealthy in the 1500s from gold and silver from its colonies, but this wealth led to inflation. King Philip II led Spain's defeat of the Ottoman Empire at Lepanto but failed to invade England with the Spanish Armada. By the 1600s, Spain faced revolts, high military costs, and pirates attacking its trade. Its empire declined as money flowed to other European nations.

The main push factors from the Lowlands were poverty, lack of jobs, decline of heavy industry, roles in the army, and changes in technology. The main push factors from the Highlands were the Highland Clearances and the failure of the potato crop. The main pull factors were improvements in transportation, assistance for relocation, family connections abroad, missionary work, economic opportunities, encouragement from Scottish communities overseas, and the prospect of wealth.
The document summarizes the evolution of urban development in Doha, Qatar over three periods:
1) From the late 19th century until the 1930s, when Doha's economy and urban form were centered around the pearling industry, with distinct tribal districts organized around the harbor.
2) From the 1950s until the early 1970s, when oil was discovered and the start of rapid modernization and population growth through foreign workers transformed Doha.
3) From the 1970s onwards, when large-scale urban planning and development turned Doha into a modern city, though retaining separation of Qatari and expatriate residential areas.
The document summarizes European colonization of South Africa in the 19th century. It describes how the Dutch first colonized the Cape of Good Hope in 1652 and established the Dutch East India Company. They were later displaced by British settlers who wanted to exploit South Africa's resources. This led to tensions between the Dutch Boers and British that erupted into two Boer Wars in the late 1800s, with the British emerging victorious both times. The document outlines the key events, groups, and leaders involved in this colonial period in South Africa, including the Great Trek of Boers northward and conflicts with the Zulu.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
