History

trapecia [35]3 years ago
4 0

Private turnpikes were business corporations that built and maintained a road for the right to collect fees from travelers.2 Accounts of the nineteenth-century transportation revolution often treat turnpikes as merely a prelude to more important improvements such as canals and railroads. Turnpikes, however, left important social and political imprints on the communities that debated and supported them. Although turnpikes rarely paid dividends or other forms of direct profit, they nevertheless attracted enough capital to expand both the coverage and quality of the U. S. road system. Turnpikes demonstrated how nineteenth-century Americans integrated elements of the modern corporation – with its emphasis on profit-taking residual claimants – with non-pecuniary motivations such as use and esteem.

The Russians lived under Mongol rule for almost two centuries. During that time, the Mongol system was to place Vassal princes who were expected to pay tribute to the Mongols for the privilege of holding their own kingdom. The result was harsh rule that turned most Russians into serfs and destroyed the Russian economy, most importantly in regard to trade. Effects include halting Russia's technical development and relationships with other nations </span>Under the rule of vassal princes, the Russians were cut off from Europe and turned more toward the east in culture. The Russian language picked up words such as амбар, barn, and базар, bazaar from the Turkic languages. The architecture of St. Basil's Cathedral on Red Square has distinct Mongol and Eastern Styles. The dome shapes and use of tile may have been inspired by Kazan and the East.
Two hundred years of Mongol occupation in Russia influenced the development of Russian culture and economics.
