History
1 answer:
kicyunya [14]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Brahmin power is a fiction - India was always ruled by kings not priests. Buddha himself was a scion of a royal family as were many other sages and enlightened beings.

Buddhism was never a political movement - it was about achieving freedom from suffering not about power and prestige.

Buddha like many of his contemporaries among the Hindus and the Jain challenged many of the philosophical positions of each other but socially lived in cooperation and harmony.

How did the Dutch policies in New Netherland undermine support for the Dutch rule?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

New Netherland was a region that included parts of New York, Delaware, New Jersey and Connecticut. Dutch control of the New Netherland lasted only about 50 years.

They were ruled by a patroon system created by The West India Company in order to establish a prosperous trading empire. The patroon system consisted in granting huge parcels of land and feudal rights to individuals who could finance the settlement of 50 adults, this was only granted to those with connections to The West India Company and resulted in exclusive political power in the hands of a few.

The Dutch emphasized in trading posts and did not encourage the large-scale movement of their population (which undermined support for Dutch rule) only small traders were willing to seek out their fortunes along the North American shore. They gave North America less attention compared to it's other colonies and were more focused on trading than on politics.

In 1642 and the following years, English settlers arrived to western Long Island. They were well received by the Director of New Netherland (Willem Kieft). Willem Kieft gave them lands and authorized the establishment of town governments. (Mespath, Hempstead, Vlissingen and Gravesend). They were granted liberty of creating their own politics and they established them soon as their territories were granted but the next director Stuyvesant opposed to it.

While English setters were expanding he Dutch and English were battling for supremacy in shipping and trade, and fought three naval wars (1652 - 1674), Charles II promised New Netherland to his brother James, Duke of York. James sent Colonel Richard Nicolls to seize the colony. Their army arrived to Long Island in August and moved to Brooklyn enlisting support from the English towns and offered fair treatment for those who surrender.

Peter Stuyvesant was forced to surrender the colony under generous circumstances.

Conclusion:

Dutch policies focused more on trading and since their patroons were free to rule their land, when the English came and convinced them to join them granting them trade benefits and wealth the Dutch empire was left with no option than to surrender.

How did European voyages of Exploration lead to European empires in the Eastern Hemisphere?
Romashka [77]
The European voyages of exploration lead to European empires in the Eastern Hemisphere, because after the age of exploration was the age of colonization where European settlers moved to the New World. However, for the Eastern Hemisphere, there were a smaller amount of settlers and a large amount of temporary European residents who were there to work for their European home land to expand the empire. The discovery of these new lands enabled the empires to grow in the Eastern Hemisphere.
