<em>The rule of the British in India is possibly the most controversial and the most hotly debated aspect of the history of the British empire. Admirers of British rule point to the economic developments, the legal and administrative system, the fact that India became the centre of world politics. Critics of British rule generally point out that all of these benefits went to a tiny British ruling class and the majority of Indians gained little. Admirers of British rule counter this by saying that most Indians were poor and oppressed by their own leaders before the British arrived, and that British rule was less harsh on ordinary Indians than rule by Indian princes. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Perhaps the main reason why the arguments are so heated and so complex is that India was very different from the other territories that made up the empire. North America and Australia, for example, were sparsely populated and their populations were less economically developed than Britain. India, however, had a huge population and was just as developed as Britain in the 1700s when the British arrived. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>The British were able to take control of India mainly because India was not united. The British signed treaties and made military and trading alliances with many of the independent states that made up India. The British were very effective at infiltrating these states and gradually taking control. They often left the local princes in charge of the various parts of India. These local princes were effective at maintaining British rule and gained much from being loyal to the British.</em>

lutik1710 [3]

What sixteenth-century event was most devastating the Native people in the New World?
son4ous [18]
The smallpox epidemic.


The millitary invasion was devastating but not to the extent of smallpox.

The Jesuits did not really devastate the New World.

Enslavement for sugar plantations mostly occurred with Africans.

Smallpox, brought in by the Columbian Exchange, had a widespread impact that killed a large portion of natives in the Americas.

So the Smallpox epidemic is the answer.

In a paragraph, explain why President Wilson encountered opposition in the U.S. Senate in his efforts to ratify the Treaty of Ve
sergey [27]

Answer:

On the side of Wilson, that is, for the adoption of the Treaty of Versailles and the ensuing entry into the League of Nations in order to continue direct intervention in European affairs, a significant part of both the ruling circles and the "public" spoke. Wilson's position was supported by prominent business leaders. The defense of the Treaty of Versailles focused on proving the United States’s worth of creating the League of Nations. With the help of the league and the Versailles Treaty, senators Hitchcock, Kellogg, Owen and others said that the United States will be able to rebuild Europe, sell its goods widely, which will improve the country's economic prospects for many years to come. The mandate system will open access to the colonies, to the Turkish Straits, to Middle East oil and other raw materials.

But the central argument of supporters of the Versailles system remained the argument that through the League of Nations the United States will be able to gain the position of the dominant power in the world. Senator Owen argued during the discussions that the League of Nations has a whole arsenal of means - diplomatic pressure, arbitration, and the International Court of Justice, boycott, blockade, the use of collective armed forces - and with their help the fate of any international dispute can be decided. Wilson’s supporters said the US’s joining the league will help “overcome social unrest in Europe,” stop the growth of socialist forces.

The opposition to the Wilsonists was called isolationist, although it itself did not recognize this name. The term "isolationism," despite all its conventions (in fact, it did not mean calling for the isolation of America), nevertheless had a constant content: the rejection of political and especially military alliances with Europe, 'bequeathed' by George Washington in 1796.

In the Senate, the first movement was a bloc of so-called “irreconcilable” (with a fluctuating number of 12 to 36 out of 96 senators), headed by William Bora, one of the most critical opposition leaders. Bora, Lafollett, Norris and other senators of this group 'attacked' the League of Nations as a tool for drawing the United States into alien wars, in defense of extraneous interests, and protested against anti-Soviet intervention.
