Historical Globalization

Part A : Reflection


In this unit I learned that Imperialism occurs when a stronger nation take over weaker nation.I found it really interesting that when one strong country gets control of a weaker nation, other strong countries follow.What surprised me in this unit was children got separated from their parents to go to Residential schools. One concept I am still having difficulty with is why did Churches open residential schools.One skill or learning strategy I found useful was soaps because it tells you where it happened, why it happened, for who this happened and when this happened.


Part B : Early Economic Globalization


In Mercantilism the Monarch had the most power.Sometimes a monarch would give one company a complete control in a colony.The monarch would get most of the goods so it made the company's unhappy, so the decided to get all the goods and give the monarch nothing without the monarch knowing and it was called Capitalism came after Mercantilism because many merchants wanted freedom to make their own money.Capitalism was kind of like a competition because in Mercantilism there was only one company but in capitalism there is more than one company so it was harder to get lots of goods. After a while the company wanted things that colony's cant make so they decided to make factories and machines which was called Industrialization, than they wanted things that colony's and factories cant make like fruits but their land only grew some kinds of fruits so they traveled to other countries and took them over for their goods and power and it was called Imperialism.


Part C: Impacts of Imperialism


The source is a white man washing his hands, and on the corners there are different boats and a black man on the ground looking at a Britten man. The source is trying to tell us about Imperialism in Africa which was called Scramble for Africa, which is about more than one country meeting in Berlin for a conference to decide which country's they will Civilize in Africa. British and France controlled most of the Colonies in Africa.


Part D: Legacy of Imperialism in Canada


The Legacy of Imperialism in Canada was determined by the outcome of the Seven Years War between France and Great Britain. For example the British who won the war were given the territories of France in what is now Canada.This shows that the British taking control of the territories the use of English became the primary language for business and government. Another example The British wanted to preserve the loyalty of the Canadians during the war with the American colonies.This shows that the passage of the Quebec Act was to guarantee the Canadians their rights in language and religion .Therefore The war between France and Great Britain helped to determine the outcome of what is now Canada if the war had been decided in a different manner than what we are today could be different.


Part E: Connection to Globalization


Globalization is the system of interaction among the countries of the world in order to develop the global economy.Globalization is related to what I have learned because before every country kept to them self's and didn't what to interact with other country's but know every country is interacting with each other by trading goods and products and most people travel to other places around the world to learn about there culture and to see what it is like in other places. This is how Globalization is related to what I have learned.
