History

Impressment refers to the practice of forcing seamen into service for the British Navy (primarily, although others did this).

The general thinking before the Revolution was that the colonies existed for the benefit of the Mother County (Britain) and that if the British Navy was being used to supply, support, and protect the colonies than the British Navy had the god given right to choose sailors at will. This was often accomplished by capturing drunk sailors at bars.

How did the han chinese attempt to assimilate conquered peoples?
N76 [4]
I don't know which specific context you refer to - the Han Chinese have conquered many people. 

So I will provide one example - in Taiwan, the aboriginal people were required to have Chinese names in their passports until recently, which means that every person was forced to adopt a Chinese name, and often their original name was dropped, and (over generation) forgotten. This has changed how people self-identify: weakening their indigenous sense of identity.
