Magna Carta
Essential notes on this document of British history with a focus on its importance across the centuries.
Manitoba
Between 1864 and 1890, the United States established nine new states in the Northwest and purchased Alaska, worrying both Canada and Britain about American expansion. To prevent the potential annexation of Rupert's Land by the Americans, in 1869 Canada entered negotiations to purchase the territory from the Hudson's Bay Company for £300,000 and 2.8 million hectares. The transfer of Rupert's Land to Canadian control concerned the Métis inhabitants, who under the leadership of Louis Riel formed a provisional government to negotiate with Canada and ensure protection of their rights. Tensions rose and ultimately led to the execution of Thomas Scott, deepening divisions and provoking military intervention by Canada.
Virreinato
The Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata was the last and shortest-lived viceroyalty created by Spain in 1776. It included present-day Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The first viceroy, Pedro de Cevallos, organized a new government in Buenos Aires and reclaimed Colonia from Portugal before being replaced a few months later. However, the viceroyalty faced economic problems as silver production from Potosí declined and Spain withdrew military support after losses to Britain. This led the Creole population to declare independence from Spain and end the viceroyalty in 1810.
Slavery in the united states tabea riedel

1) The Proclamation of 1763, Sugar Act, Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, and Intolerable Acts imposed new taxes on the colonies and restricted settlement, angering colonists and leading to acts of protest like boycotts.
2) Conflicts like the Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, and battles of Lexington and Concord escalated tensions, with the Continental Congresses organizing colonial resistance and the Continental Army.
3) By 1776, influential pamphlets like Common Sense advocated for American independence from Britain, which the Second Continental Congress would go on to
Magna carta
The Magna Carta is a 1215 charter that limited the English king's power and required him to submit to the rule of law. It established that the king was not above the law and guaranteed certain legal rights and protections for citizens, such as habeas corpus and restrictions on taxation. The Magna Carta was issued by King John after barons captured and forced him to agree to its terms, which demonstrated that royal power could be limited by a written agreement. It had important influence on laws today and was a first step toward democracy and guaranteeing political, religious, and individual rights for all.
The American Revolution
The document discusses several topics related to the American Revolution:
- The financial burden of the English wars with France led to a large national debt for England.
- The War of Spanish Succession destabilized the relationship between European powers and weakened their control over America.
- Pirates operated out of ports in places like Jamaica, attacking Spanish ships and sometimes engaging in conflict with each other.
- Newspapers started being brought to the colonies from England in the 1730s to inform colonists of overseas news and events.
- England passed laws like the Navigation Acts to force trade within its empire and make trade more complex and regulated.

King john and magna carta
King John faced several problems as king that upset both the Church and his barons. In 1215, the barons rebelled against King John and forced him to agree to the Magna Carta, which established for the first time that the king was not above the law and had to respect the basic rights of freemen and the nobility. The Magna Carta went on to become one of the most important documents in English legal history, still influencing legal systems today with principles such as equality under the law and the right to a fair trial.
1 historical background
George III became King of Great Britain in 1760 during the Seven Years' War and saw the loss of the American colonies in the War of Independence. He took the throne at age 22 but had limited abilities and was poorly suited for the demands of being king, believed to suffer from a hereditary disease causing long periods of insanity. A series of acts passed by the British parliament imposed heavy taxes on the American colonies and sought to gain more control over them, fueling growing tensions that led to the American Revolution and independence.
Slideshare script
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.

The American Revolution began as a result of growing tensions between the American colonies and Great Britain over taxation without representation. Britain had accumulated large war debts after the French and Indian War and began imposing taxes on the colonies through acts like the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts. The colonies protested these taxes by arguing it was unjust to tax colonists without allowing them to have elected representatives in Parliament. Matters came to a head with the Boston Tea Party in 1773, after which the Second Continental Congress assumed leadership of the independence movement and ultimately issued the Declaration of Independence in 1776, establishing the United States.

How did the american revolution impact the world
The American Revolution was caused by economic and political tensions between the British colonies and the United Kingdom that arose following the Seven Years' War. These tensions were exacerbated by new taxes imposed on the colonies without colonial representation in British Parliament.

The American Revolution established the United States as an independent federal republic with a written constitution, marking both the first successful decolonization and modern democratic revolution.
Summary of the reform movement semester 1
The document summarizes the reform movement that aimed to bust monopolies and trusts in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in America. During this time, monopolies and trusts left much of the nation's wealth concentrated in the hands of a few powerful men. Policies following the Reconstruction Era favored northern industrialists and set no business regulations. This led to the rise of large railroad and business monopolies through acts like the Homestead Act and Pacific Railway Acts that promoted western expansion and gave favorable deals to companies.
Magna Carta
The document summarizes the Magna Carta, which was created in 1215 when the barons of King John of England forced the king to agree to its terms, thereby establishing limits on the power of the monarchy for the first time. It protected certain legal rights of the nobility and the church from the absolute power of the king. Some key impacts were that it became the basis of English citizens' rights and reduced the power of the king to that of parliament.

The US went to war with Spain in 1898 over the Cuban struggle for independence from Spanish rule. Spain's harsh policies in Cuba, including relocating many civilians to camps where thousands died, generated sympathy for the Cuban rebels in the US. Yellow journalism by newspapers exaggerated Spanish atrocities and fueled public support for war. The sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor also increased tensions. Under public pressure, McKinley asked Congress to declare war on Spain. The four month war ended in victory for the US, resulting in Cuba gaining nominal independence while becoming a US protectorate and the US acquiring Puerto Rico, Guam, and control of the Philippines.

12 The Imperial Era
The United States entered this contest shortly after achieving inde-
pendence ("playing the European Game," as Mark Twain would acidly
observe). Having established national sovereignty, U.S. leaders would
seek to extend territorial reach over European colonies and prevent other
powers from challenging this expansion. As a result, U.S. relations with
Latin America during the nineteenth century represented a continuation
and culmination of European incursions into and struggles over the New
World that dated back to the late fifteenth century.
From the outset, in other words, the United States was an aspiring
imperial power. It entered the international arena as a relatively minor, al -
most insignificant actor; within a century the young nation became a for-
midable contender. The United States embarked on its imperial course
neither by impulse, miscalculation, or accident. Its behavior represented
long-term policy and national purpose. As historian William Appleman
Williams has observed, "Americans thought of themselves as an empire at
the outset of their national existence. . . . Having matured in an age of
empires as part of an empire, the colonists naturally saw themselves in the
same light once they joined issue with the mother country." 1 In an ethical
sense, U.S . conduct was neither better nor worse than that of other ambi-
tious powers. All played by the same rules of the game.
Once engaged in this contest, the United States adapted its policy in
accordance with conditions and circumstances particular to the New
World. While European powers engaged primarily in colonization of
overseas possessions, the United States tended to rely, first, on territorial
acquisition and absorption, and, second, on the estaplishment and preser-
vation of informal spheres of influence. The means thus varied, but the
ends were much the same.
European Rivalry in the New World
European powers began to compete for control of the New World alm_ost
immediately after Christopher Columbus announced his earth-shattering
"discovery" in 1492. Protesting Spanish claims to total monopoly ov~r
the Americas, King Joao II of Portugal convinced the "Catholic kings" U1

Treaty ofTordesillas, which ceded to Portugal dominion over the easte~n
half of South America-much of present-day Brazil. Theoretically, Spall1

Empire and Expansion
The document discusses America's expansion overseas in the late 19th century after abandoning isolationism. It explores the economic, strategic, and cultural motivations for expansion, including the Spanish-American War which resulted in the U.S. acquiring Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. Debate ensued over whether to grant independence to the new territories or adopt an imperialist policy, with opponents arguing it violated American ideals.
SPAIN AND INDEPENDENCE
There were four main Spanish viceroyalties in South America: New Spain, Peru, New Granada, and Rio de la Plata. They governed large regions on behalf of the Spanish crown from the 16th-19th centuries. Independence movements in the early 19th century led to the establishment of independent nation states in their place, including Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and others. The last Spanish colonies, Cuba and Puerto Rico, gained independence after the Spanish-American War in 1898 when the U.S. defeated Spain.
American Imperialism
The document provides an overview of American imperialism between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It discusses the expansion of US influence through colonialism in Latin America, Hawaii, Samoa, and Alaska. It also covers the Spanish-American War that resulted in the US acquiring Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines from Spain in 1898. Debates emerged over whether to annex the Philippines, and a brutal war broke out as Filipinos resisted American control. Ultimately, the US established colonial rule over its new territories in the aftermath of the war.
12 imperialism
The document discusses the rise of American imperialism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was driven by a sense of Anglo-Saxon racial superiority, the need for new markets as industrialization increased productivity and exports, and strategic military and commercial interests. Key events included the acquisition of Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines through war, negotiation, or insurrection. The building of the Panama Canal further cemented America's role as a global power projecting influence across the Pacific.
Chapter 20 Section 2 - The Spanish - American War
The document discusses the beginnings of the Spanish-American War. It describes the harsh rule of the Spanish Empire over its colonies, including Cuba. Revolutionary Jose Marti organized a rebellion in Cuba from New York City but was killed by the Spanish. The sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor increased tensions between the US and Spain. The US went to war with Spain in 1898 and gained control of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines while making Cuba independent. However, Cuba had to accept limits on its sovereignty in the Platt Amendment and the US became embroiled in conflict with Filipino nationalists seeking independence.
Imperialism
1) In the late 19th century, American leaders began pushing for the U.S. to join European nations in establishing overseas colonies, beginning the era of American imperialism. 2) The U.S. acquired Alaska from Russia in 1867 and annexed Hawaii in 1898, seeing their strategic value. 3) The sinking of the U.S.S. Maine in Cuba in 1898 helped spark the Spanish-American War, leading the U.S. to gain control of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. The U.S. thus emerged as a new world power.

Imperialism
American imperialism at the turn of the 20th century expanded U.S. influence and established it as a world power through overseas territorial acquisitions and the projection of military and economic power. The U.S. acquired Alaska from Russia in 1867, took control of Hawaii in 1898, and gained Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines after defeating Spain in the Spanish-American War. The U.S. then established political control over Cuba and built the Panama Canal to further economic and strategic interests. Under presidents Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson, the U.S. developed foreign policies of military intervention and dollar diplomacy to expand its sphere of influence, especially in Latin America.
