In 1788, the colonization of Austria began ... * ahem * Australia
In Europe, meanwhile, one Cake raged. As a result of the war, Great Britain captured the Ionian Islands, Malta, Seychelles, Mauritius, Saint Lucia, Tobago; Trinidad was taken from Spain, Guyana and the Cape colony from the Netherlands.
In Asia, Britain had the goal of spreading its influence in India and China.
The British ruled India with the help of the East India Company, and for a long time it was effective. Moreover, the principalities are governed by locals who are subordinate to the British (if that has always been a hired army. You never know)
However, everything comes to an end. Namely: in 1858, these mercenaries decided to set up a bund.
The riot was suppressed, the problem is different. Who to trust now?
So the British thought and established direct control over India, thereby laying the foundation for British India. In 1858, Queen Victoria was crowned as Empress of India.
In China, they traded in drugs. So what? It may be mean, but how else to get at least something from this China?
Only the Chinese did not really like it. Because of what the Opium Wars began. As a result of the first, Britain received the island of Hong Kong in 1842.
Let's dig into Russia for a minute. What is she? Yes ... ... The Persians and the Ottomans only win ... And they may invade India.
“If a fight is inevitable - hit first”, Britain thought, and hit ... No, not Russia (it will be a little later), but Afghanistan. But Britain did not succeed (yes, and it happens).
Later, Britain and Russia will fight for Afghanistan, but no one will conquer it.
In Africa, there were conflicts with the Boers - former residents of the Cape Colony, who were driven out by the British. The Boers founded their own states, which the British tried to capture, but they succeeded only in 1902
In 1869, the Suez Canal was founded.
In the 1880s, Egypt came under British control (although not direct).
In the same 1880s, Europeans began to colonize Africa. And who, if not Britain, will not join the sharing.

vredina [299]

Answer:

The United States has mainly had two consistent policies in the Middle-East from the 1980s to the present:

  • Supporting Israel: Israel is America's main ally in the region, and both Democrats and Republicans support Israel. The U.S. provides military contributions to that country, which is often in conflict with its neighbors. These contributions are crucial for Israel continuos military victories.
  • Supporting Saudi Arabia instead of Iran: since the founding of the Islamic Iranian Republic, The United States has been a enemy of Iran and viceversa, and Iran is at the same time a geopolitical enemy of Israel and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia and Iran are in fact, often at war in other countries (proxy wars), and the U.S. always supports the former.
