Imperialism

new england became emperialistic and was taking over many countries..

technologies had been developped so much at a point they used it to fight wars. The british had an automatic guns machins who can kill hundreds of people in on minute and in a war they killed 600 hundreds sudanese when only 20 of them were dead and 20 from the allies.

MAIN IDEA: human used technology to fight bloodly battles and kill each other when in reality they could do more wonders..



the british used these guns which were more effective and faster.

the africans used this

OPTIUM WAR. China was a middle kingdom and considered the british importation worthless therefore they started importing Optium, the chinese tried to stop the importation of this product but failed. Later on the British declared war on the chinese and won the battle. and a treaty was made and according to this treating called the 1842, the treating of Nanjing, the chinese had to - give the bristish money for the cause of this war -Open many ports to British trade. --provide Britain the complete control of hong-kong -and grant for british to live in china

Spheres of influence: Several Europeans countries forced or in orther words abuse china by forcing them to force unequal treaties for instance the british who lives over there can only put on trial by their own court and follow their own law which to me dont make no sense. If one lives in a country should follow the law's country not your own country laws.'

CCQ: So they basically either western nation or europeans countries taking advantage of those laws who had been established to their own profits.

-the USA also came up with a law which is the ''OPEN DOOR POLICY:. This stated that all nations should have equal trading rights regardless of spheres of influence.

connection: i studied the open door policy in US History 2.

CHINESE REACTION: the chinese considered the open door policy as a threath and an insult and started a rebellion called : THE BOXER REBELLION and won. Later on civil war took place in china after the sun's death as ** Mao Zedong ** and his communists and then china became a democratic government.

1. Zixu's argument is common sense and very clear its just do unto others what you want them to do to you, if they know that the opium is bad for their own citizen or their own people therefore they souldnt be selling it to others countries or china, this is also related to ethnics, basing on what is good or right to do or what is not.

2. he shows a strong attitude and very strong and bad, angry attitude agaisnt the british.

3.this article tells us that the relationship was good and the china used to trade them goods such as tea,silk etc until the west decided to be slick and want to export what they want to china.
