Use the passage below to answer the following question: Suppose the subject of another country were to come to England to trade,

he would certainly be required to comply with the laws of England, then how much more does this apply to us of the celestial empire! Now it is a fixed statute of this empire, that any native Chinese who sells opium is punishable with death, and even he who merely smokes it, must not less die. Pause and reflect for a moment: if you foreigners did not bring the opium hither, where should our Chinese people get it to re-sell? It is you foreigners who involve our simple natives in the pit of death, and are they alone to be permitted to escape alive?—Modern History Sourcebook Based on the passage, what is Commissioner Lin's major goal?

The main objective of the commissioner is to get the foreigners to stop selling opium to the Chinese. We learn this in the passage. The commissioner begins by explaining what the punishment is for Chinese people who find themselves involved in the opium trade. However, he then states that he believes foreigners are as much to blame for the trade, because they are the ones bringing it into the country. The commissioner wants the foreigners to reflect on this and change their ways, or face the legal consequences.

Svetlanka [38]

Friedrich Fabri was a German intellectual who lived throughout the 19th century. He is known as the "Father of the Colonial Movement" due to his open support for the engagement of Germany into colonization efforts.

Fabri singled out 3 main reasons for the need to colonize other parts of the world.

  • The country's economic position
  • The growth of the Navy.

Two out of the 3 reasons he stated are considered as strengths. Which are Germany's strong growing navy and their powerful economic position in comparison to their European counterparts at the time?

What was the key to civilization that greatly affected native american culture?
Serjik [45]
There is no key to civilization. The concept that native americans did not have a civilization or were not civilized is one only supported by the egotism and arrogance of the empirical profit oriented "conquerers" who have worked to eradicate all cultures that conflict with profits. The key to western civilization that allowed them to kill off the majority of the natives was a lack of respect for life and insane drive for control, ownership and dominance, to which the peaceful and sophisticated Natives would not stoop.
