Why India?

History
1 answer:
nikitadnepr [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Five reasons ranked, why India would be attractive.

1. Very large population since ancient times - this simply means: more people to extract taxes from, since the main goal of an empire is to conquer many lands and ethnicities, in order to take economic resources from them.

2. Strategic geographic location - India has access to both sides of the Indian Ocean, and it can connect the Middle East with Southeast Asia, this is very important for trade.

3. Central location for trade - as said before, India is almost in the middle of Asia, and it is a central place for many trade routes between East Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

4. For defensive purposes - a neighboring country may feel that India is a threat, and decide to simply conquer it.

5. Prestige - India was an ancient, diverse culture, and ruling India, being the Emperor of India, will always be a prestigious position.

3.  Explain which reason you think was most important and why you think that.

The most important reason is the large population. India has been one of the most populated countries since anciet times because the land is very fertile. More people = more taxes, and the main goal of an empire is to take taxes from the people that it rules.

Answer:

Option 4. Political parties.

Explanation:

The presidential primaries (where the first candidates are elected) are a vital part of the US electoral process. And since nothing about them is laid on the constitution, it's up to the state governments to regulate them.

It's in this phase, where the political parties promote their candidates for the final elections, where only 2 candidates can participate.

3. Briefly explain how Social Darwinism contributed to European imperialism. (2 points)
inessss [21]
To quote the witch in Snow White "Who's the fittest of them all?" Who but those who think they are powerful enough to occupy colonies who supply raw materials to be shaped into manufactured articles, to be sold back to the colonies? 

That is the definition of imperialism. It is the colonization by force of those unable to prevent the colonization.  Imperialism is the creation of an empire by colonizing people that can't prevent their own subjugation.

Does that not sound like survival of the fittest to you?
