Answer:

The correct answer is that in some ways it did, and in some other ways it did not.

Explanation:

For example, colonialism brought economic development to many colonies. In India, the British build a large railroad network that crosses the country, and that is still in used to this day. In Latin America, the Spanish founded many universities in each of their colonies, that continue to be important institutions of education and thought.

However, in many other ways, colonialism did not improve the lives of those colonized. Colonialism often brought war, violence, slaughter, and even genocide to the colonized populations. It also led to the destruction of many ethnic and domestic cultures and ways and thoughts.

So in conclusion, it depends on the country, the period, the aspect that is being treated, and the analysis that is made.

Which was a reason the capture of Fort Ticonderoga was important for the colonist?

SpyIntel [72]

In 1775 when the American Revolution began, the British and Americans had one of the most important battles at Fort Ticonderoga. Here the British Military base was attacked, and the capture of the fort became the first American victory. It boosted the morale of the Continental Army and would be a significant factor in the outcome of the revolution.
The colonists hoped that Fort Ticonderoga could stop the British Army from proceeding to the South.
The Fort had critical importance ranging from Ammanents that Americans had short of supply and had a collection of massive artillery (howitzers, cannons, and mortars).
The Forts location at the shores of Lake Champlain was also a strategic route to the British controlled provinces in the North and route along the thirteen colonies.

How was the treatment of enslaved Africans different under English rule than it was under the rule of the Dutch?

slega [8]

Answer:

I believe that under English Rule Slavery was almost slightly more fair than the way the Dutch used their rule/power

Explanation:

The Dutch West India Company imported 11 African slaves to New Amsterdam in 1626, with the first slave auction being held in New Amsterdam in 1655.

Slavery in Great Britain existed and was recognized from before the Roman occupation until the 12th century, when chattel slavery disappeared, at least for a time, after the Norman Conquest. Former slaves merged into the larger body of serfs in Britain and no longer were recognized separately in law or custom.
