  The Slave Trade Act of 1807 was made by the United Kingdom Parliament and prohibited the slave trade in the british empire. The promoters of the bill were the Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade and they decided to concentrate on a campaign to persuade the Parliament to abolish the slave trade instead of the slavery itself because they believed that it was more likely to succed. They also believed that if the trade was ceased eventually the slavery would come to an end.

  The act abolished the slave trade in all the British colonies  and turn into illegal to carry slaves in British ships. The United Kingdom used his influence tpwards other nations to pressed other countries to put an end to the Slave trade. United States abolish the Atlantic slave trade but maintain the policy about the internal slave trade. Britain kept pressing other european countries to stopped slave trade considering it as "repulsive to the principles of natural justice".

  With the Slave Trade Act Britain began a movement that was received by other major slave exporters countries to stopped with this practice and this way contribute to the end of slavery. This specially affect the americas because they were the biggest importers of slaves and by cutting the flow of them they began to lack workforce because of the precarious conditions. Also the Act reflected a growing sensation among the world´s population that slavery was wrong and went against the natural justice.  

  I hope the answe help you. If you have any doubt don´t hesitate to ask. Regards

Which quotation sums up Herbert Hoover’s view of the Great Depression in 1933
yarga [219]

<u>These two quotes pronounced by President Herbert Hoover, express his viewpoint on the Great Depression</u> and his opinion about the different formulas adopted to overcome it:  

  • <em>"Let me remind you that credit is the lifeblood of business, the lifeblood of prices and jobs. "</em>
  • <em>"You cannot extend the mastery of government over the daily life of a people without somewhere making it master of people's souls and thoughts.… Every step in that direction poisons the very roots of liberalism. It poisons political equality, free speech, free press, and equality of opportunity. It is the road not to more liberty but to less liberty."</em>

Hoover became one of the main detractors of Roosevelt's New Deal which,  based on Keynesian economics, fostered goverment interventionism in order to boost the depressed demand levels as the mechanism to create employment and economic growth. Such interventionism was materialized by increasing public spending.

In opposition, supporters of free markets and<em> laisez-faire</em> economic policies, such as Hoover, criticized this recovery plan because they believed that markets on their own would reach the most efficient outcomes and that the country would get innecessarily indebted. Moreover, they believed that the situation would be worsened by interventionist policies that hampered certain individual liberties.

Answer:

Timeline of the French Revolution and Napoleon:

1797: Napoleon takes the city of Rome, Italy.

1799: Napoleon becomes the First Consul.

1802: Napoleon becomes the Consul for Life.

1804: Napoleon becomes Emperor.

1805: Napoleon loses the Battle of Trafalgar to the British.

1810: Napoleon consolidates most of Europe under his rule.

June 1812: Napoleon amasses a large army and marches into Russia.

October 1812: Napoleon abandons Moscow and heads back to France.

April 1814: Napoleon is exiled to Elba.

June 1815: Napoleon loses the Battle of Waterloo to the British.

July 1815: Napoleon is exiled to St. Helena.

How Did Napoleon Rise to Power? Napoleon was a war hero. A young French officer, who had been born on the island of Corsica, proved his military genius by leading soldiers to victory. By 1797, Napoleon Bonaparte had taken Rome and established a peace treaty with Austria. One year later, Bonaparte led his armies to victory in the French conquest of Egypt. Napoleon's reputation as a leader was widely recognized, and he was promoted to the rank of general.

How Did Napoleon Fall from Power? At some point, though, you may realize you're doing too much at once and can't keep up. In military terms, this is called being overextended. This is part of the reason Napoleon ultimately fell from power. Napoleon's grip on Europe was weakened by his Russian campaign. His European "subjects" used this opportunity to pool their forces to fight against Napoleon and free themselves from French rule. The French Empire lost territory and control. By April 1814, a group of allied nations forced Napoleon's unconditional surrender. The allies offered Napoleon exile on Elba, which he accepted.  

Following Napoleon's Hundred Days of rule after his first exile, King Louis XVIII returned to the throne in Paris. In July 1815, Napoleon was finally exiled to St. Helena, a British island. He died there in 1821.

Napoleon's Legacy: Was Napoleon "great" as some historians claim? The answer may depend on your understanding of Napoleon's legacy. Consider the following achievements and, in contrast, actions for which he is now notorious:

• He developed the Napoleonic Code, a civil code, that was originally adopted in French-governed areas across Europe. The underlying principle, that laws should be just and rational, laid a foundation for later civil codes. The Napoleonic Code remains the civil code today, though the original code has been revised.

• He reconciled with the Roman Catholic Church with the Concordat of 1801. This normalized relations between the church and the French government following the French Revolution.

• He spread the ideals of the French Revolution, such as liberty and equality, throughout Europe. He did this somewhat unknowingly, but these seeds set the stage for later revolutions that erupted in Europe nonetheless.

• He led his country into catastrophic wars that caused millions of deaths.

• He misjudged the strength of his forces and was, consequently, defeated and forced into exile.
