Vinvika [58]2 years ago

In the early days of British colonization, the British gave the colonists a lot of self governing powers and autonomy, and it remained this way for several years. However, when King George III took power he tightened the grip on their colonies a lot more, which created some tensions. One big thing was after the French and Indian War, the British heavily taxed the colonists with things like the Stamp Act because it has cost the British government a lot of money to defend the colonies in the. This angered a lot of colonists because they were getting taxed without consent in that they have no representation in Parliament. Although other British colonies also did not have representation, the colonists felt that they were just as valid as British citizens as those in GB, so they were angry that they had to pay all these taxes without agreeing to them. Hence the phrase "no taxation without representation"

Why did the Chinese try and not tell anyone how to make silk?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Silk cloth was extremely valuable in Ancient China. Wearing silk was an important status symbol. At first, only members of the royal family were allowed to wear silk. Later, silk clothing was restricted to only the noble class. Merchants and peasants were not allowed to wear silk. Silk was even used as money during some Ancient Chinese dynasties.

Keeping Silk a Secret

Silk became a prized export for the Chinese. Nobles and kings of foreign lands desired silk and would pay high prices for the cloth. The emperors of China wanted to keep the process for making silk a secret. Anyone caught telling the secret or taking silkworms out of China was put to death.

How might you account for the immense religious and political/military success of islam in its early centuries?
Drupady [299]
Islam varied greatly from Christianity and Buddhism since its founder was a religious figure as well as a political and military pioneer. In addition, from the start the Islamic community got itself constituted as a state. Along these lines, Islam did not create as plainly characterized a partition amongst church and state as did both Christianity and Buddhism. There were a few similitudes in their religious viewpoints: every one of the three religions were established by single historical figures who had intense religious experiences; each of the three give an unmistakable way to salvation; and each of the three announce the equality of all believers. however, Islam's origination of monotheism was more grounded than that of Christianity; and every religion was shaped to some extent by the social conventions in which it developed.
