Answer:

For expansion of territory and influence in Africa

Explanation:

Benito Mussolini believed the invasion of Ethiopia would be one step closer to his ambitions of recreating the Roman Empire. Ethiopia had not been colonized during the Scramble for Africa and Mussolini was keen to not leave them unchecked. The propaganda machines made Italian soldiers believe they were going against a barbaric nation fighting with spears and arrows. This was not the case and Italy actually had taken a sufficient amount of losses before the collapse of Ethiopia. Overall this land expansion allowed the Italians to gain more resources and influence in Africa.

What impact did colonial governments have on american politics and institutions?

oee [108]

The colonial governments had impact on american politics and institutions, through the following facts:

1. The idea of a common central government became increasingly popular as criticism of British centralism took a violent form. The settlers' original dream of reforming old institutions and establishing a new civilization was unique and dual.

2. The War of Independence was the first modern political revolution. It started with the universal democratic slogan: "no taxation without representation".

3. The Declaration of Independence in 1776 represented a revolutionary vision of mankind and its institutions, emphasizing the natural necessity of separation and independence.

4. The Constitution, based on a federal model, established a prototype of interstate relationships according to the principle of divided sovereignty, setting up a republican system in which no branch of the government could exercise any despotic authority over the others.

From britain's perspective, were stationing soldiers in the new world permanently and issuing the proclamation of 1763 good colo

irina [24]

The proclamation of 1763 came out of the Treaty of Paris after the Seven Years War, so the British could incorporate lands ceded by the French as a result of their loss. The stationery soldiers were to establish a boundary between the new lands and the lands of the Native American, and to protect the colonizers forms their attacks.

The colonizers were unhappy because they lost the chance to get lands for their own, and because they couldn't commerce freely with the Native. Britain could have left the colonizers to adventure in strange lands and be massacred by the Native Americans, but couldn't afford to lose power over this new lands, over the colonizers and the Native.
