The then Spanish king Philip II was a strong believer of Catholic faith and he wanted to convert all the protestant English settlers to Catholicism. Under the reign of Queen Elizabeth, though she practiced moderate religious tolerance, Spanish supremacy was a threat to England, sent an explorer John Cabot.

Spanish people formed a strong army called the Spanish squadron and decided to destroy English ships.

But English fleet under the General John Cabot had plundered the Spanish ships and the armada was destroyed. This made America a safe place for Britain colonists.

Why did japan aggressively expand in the 1930s

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Japan wanted to expand their influence and gain more resources to challenge the West in Asia and establish themselves as the new Pacific and Asian power.

Explanation:

After Japan adopted a westernized military and became heavily industrialized, they lacked the proper resources to produce things like guns, ships, planes, artillery, tanks, etc. Japan also felt threatened by the West given Japan's proximity to their colonies, and felt threatened as an Asian and Pacific power and wanted to become the new Asian power. Japan first needed resources to produce equipment to challenge the West's power in Asia. They declared war on China in 1937 after staging the Marco-polo bridge incident and began spearing into China, hoping to find resources and labor. As the UK was distracted by war in Europe and the French and Dutch collapsed, Japan thought they could swipe their colonies from them knowing they're undefended. These South East Asian colonies were rich in rubber and oil like Malaya and Indonesia. Japan's endgame here was to defeat China, take the resource-rich Western colonies, and establish themselves as the new Pacific and Asian power.

Do you think Adam Smith or Karl Marx would be more supportive of globalization? Why?

Anestetic [448]

I think that Adam Smith would be more supportive of globalization of multinational corporations since his major work, the Wealth of Nations dealt with the workings of the capitalist system and supported it. I think that Karl Marx would be strongly opposed to the control that the multi-nationals have over their neo-colonies but at the same time would applaud the way that globalization has developed solidarity between the working class of the different countries such as between the major capitalist countries and the so-called Third World countries.
