I would say Social/Religious causes. He is promoting the "Britons" as a benefit to all of humanity even to the point that he is justifying the taking of other's lands. He does not say anything about economic benefits to these people or political benefits, merely that Britons are honorable so they deserve it.

Why was sudan under british rule
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Similar to the Egyptians, the British sought to gain control over the Sudan to establish both a settler and plantation based colony that would allow for them to gain more accessibility to the Nile, its trade routes, and the trading markets. This access to the Nile and its trade markets allowed for the British to gain significant amounts of profit from the sale and trading of British manufactured goods including textiles, alcohol, and guns along with establishing new trading relationships with the growing cities. Along with this, the British heavily desired to gain access to the existent natural resources in Sudan with specific interest in the cotton supply

Machiavelli's claim to fame wasn't finding the lost work of Roman Consul and philosopher Marcus tullius to Syria true or false
Vaselesa [24]
True.

Machiavelli read much in Marcus Tullius Cicero's writings and was influenced by Cicero, but Machiavelli's claim to fame stems from his own writing.  His brief work entitled, <em>The Prince, </em>is looked upon as perhaps the first text of political science (as opposed to political philosophy).  <em>The Prince </em>described the workings of politics as Machiavelli observed how things happened in Renaissance Italy.  Machiavelli also wrote in the political philosophy vein with his longer work called <em>Discourses on Livy, </em>which examined the values of a republic-style government.

Explain how New England way of life centered on family, town, and church and describe changes that effected this way of life.
victus00 [196]

Answer:

New England has mountains with trees, rocky soil. Colonists of New England were less ethnically mixed. Summers were often hot and winters cruelly harsh.

Explanation:

The New England Colonies established by the Puritans, who practice and follow a religion with strict beliefs. In the New England Colonies, the immigrants were Puritans in Massachusetts Bay, Connecticut, and New Hampshire colonies. The Puritans of New England built towns along with Churches as a place of worship and gathering place. The life of the puritans revolved around the teachings of the bible and working rather than enjoying it leisurely. Economic activities and trade were dependent on the environment in which the Colonists lived as they made their living from fishing, whaling, and shipbuilding.

They exploited the forest by cutting down trees for timber. Took lands which once belonged to Native Indians. They also ceaselessly caught codfish in the coast.
