What qualities did the leaders of the second-wave empires share in common?

1 answer:

5 0

The empires that the leaders of the Second Wabe were to rule were much larger than those of the First Wave. The colonies and people were governed from a distance, and leaders achieved the expansion of their empires through wars of conquest. The leaders had more military power, over the old divine power, because they were in command of well-organized armies and fleets of ships to dominate. Instead of seeing themselves as divinities, the rulers of the Second Wabe were politicians, who allowed assemblies and the intervention of the people, like the Greeks. The new rulers were through politics, the creation of laws, new concepts such as citizenship in Rome and Greece, as well as the possibility of not governing for life, but elect leaders, as with the Roman Consuls.

How did the heritage foundation become more than just another Washington “think tank”

liberstina [14]

The result, called Mandate for Leadership, epitomized the intellectual ambition of the then-rising conservative movement. Its 20 volumes, totaling more than 3,000 pages, included such proposals as income-tax cuts, inner-city “enterprise zones,” a presidential line-item veto, and a new Air Force bomber.

Despite the publication's academic prose and mind-boggling level of detail, it caused a sensation. A condensed version -- still more than 1,000 pages -- became a paperback bestseller in Washington. The newly elected Ronald Reagan passed out copies at his first Cabinet meeting, and it quickly became his administration’s blueprint. By the end of Reagan’s first year in office, 60 percent of the Mandate’s 2,000 ideas were being implemented, and the Republican Party’s status as a hotbed of intellectual energy was ratified. It was a Democrat, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who would declare in 1981, “Of a sudden, the GOP has become a party of ideas.”

Why would common Europeans celebrate exploration and colonization?

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

They earned money from colonization, so it mainly became a battle of how rich they were. And then the exploration part pretty much meant that they could claim 'new' land (that was already pretty much discovered by Native Americans) and make even more money, along with having power in the New World.
