I Need Help In History Class Bad? British Empire! Money If I Get Quality Help
 

If someone can answer these questions for me in a lengthy page and a half paper, ill pay em like 20 bucks unless its an A paper, ill give ya 50. The book for my class never came in the book store, and no one in my class has it for the mid term. There is 2 damn copies in the library and there are always checked out. My midterm is tomorrow and I need to study this crap. Iv tried the internet but since i do not have the book, I cannot answer any of these. We have 2 essay questions but we get to choose 1 of them: If someone can help, id really appreciate it.

Questions to choose from are:

1.) What motivated britain to move beyond its shores in search of an empire starting in the 16th century? Discuss the early economic,political, and cultural motivations for british imperial expansion between the 16th and 18th centuries. Does this approach change at all during the 19th century? If so, how? What is larger significance of such a shift?
2.) Compare and contrast british empire building in two different regions(i.e. North America,South Pacific,China,India). What drove the british to explore and later conquer these regions? Did colonialism take a similar form in these two regions? Why or why not? Be sure to use concrete examples from the lecture and our texts in your answer.

ya but i hate its all fucking scattered and im trying to think of a way to put this together to make sense

which college you go to

Stateside HS isn't the same as here hon... we have a lot more focus on world events, particularly of England and the colonies than the US does.

Frankly, aside from remembering facts about the british north america act and various dates of major events, I don't remember all that much about the 'age of sail', aside from the fact that the dutch lost out to the spanish who lost out to the english, and the french messed with everyone. :winkwink:

ya exactly^ thats why i needed help on this...

K, take it one step at a time.

1.) What motivated britain to move beyond its shores in search of an empire starting in the 16th century? Discuss the early economic,political, and cultural motivations for british imperial expansion between the 16th and 18th centuries. Does this approach change at all during the 19th century? If so, how? What is larger significance of such a shift?

So you can talk about:

Start with the political, economic, social, industrial state of Europe and Britain in the 1500s. What other countries were expanding? When and why Britain started expanding.
Then talk about the extent of Britain's expansion compared to other Euro countries (Germany, Dutch, Portugal, France, Spain) by the 1800s.
Then talk about what Britain did in response. Did they keep expanding? Or let their colonies gain independence? Or withdraw? And why.

There, question one is fully answered.

2.) Compare and contrast british empire building in two different regions(i.e. North America,South Pacific,China,India). What drove the british to explore and later conquer these regions? Did colonialism take a similar form in these two regions? Why or why not?

So talk about:

Start with the political, economic, social, industrial state of Europe and Britain in the 1500s. (same as above). What did Britain need that it couldn't provide within its own borders?

Pick two regions, whichever you know most about (like North America and India). What did these regions have that Britain needed?

Compare/contrast: How did Britain gain control of these regions? How did they maintain control? Why were the tactics different or the same?

Summarize: The society of a region and it's geography (etc etc) dictate the methods that would best provide control of that region and its people. Britain succeeded here but failed here because blah blah.

There, you're done.

Go watch Master and Commander again. :) Pretty much sums up the British vs. the French at the height of colonialism (battle for the south pacific, the atlantic, Cape of Storms, etc) and the technology and society of the time.
