Why were europeans able to expand their powers in asia and africa​

History

Rus_ich [418]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Modern weapons, weakened empires of Africa and Asia, steamships,quinine

Explanation: Ismail used the occasion to emphasize the harmony and cooperation between the peoples of Africa, Asia, and

Europe and to show that Egypt was not only independent but was also an equal of the great powers. To bless the

inauguration, Ismail had invited clergy of the Muslim, Orthodox, and Catholic faiths.

…wished to symbolize thereby the unity of men and their brotherhood before God, without distinction of religion; it

was the first time that the Orient had seen such a meeting of faiths to celebrate and bless together a great event and

a great work.”

The canal was a great success, but not in the way Ismail intended. Ships using it could travel between Europe and

India in less than two weeks—much less time than the month or longer consumed by sailing around Africa and

across the Indian Ocean. By lowering freight costs, the canal stimulated shipping and the construction of steamships,

giving an advantage to nations that had heavy industry and a large maritime trade over land-based empires and

countries with few merchant ships. Great Britain benefited more than any other nation. France, which provided half

the capital and most of the engineers, came in a distant second, for it had less trade with Asia than Britain did. Egypt,

which contributed the other half of the money and most of the labor, was the loser. Instead of making Egypt powerful

and independent, the Suez Canal provided the excuse for a British invasion and occupation of that country.

Lisa [10]
Interest driven government are able to respond to the different needs of different groups and people and its hence responsive to the course of society. It also encourages competition among different groups thus creating an environment for democracy to thrive.

There is however one single most challenge emanating from a pluralistic government. the problem emanates from the conditions of a political culture that is rampant with apathy and ignorance. This implies that only a few people are involved in interest groups and thus power tend to concentrate in a minority, impeding on democracy. This makes a representative democracy the best form of government as the people can always vote the reps out.
