A Review of the Literature

If asked to name the “national dish of Britain,” the average person is likely to say, “there is nothing more British than fish and chips,” but he or she might be wrong as it all depends on the criteria used to determine the national dish (Castelow, 2013). If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009). And while this is true, fish and chips still play a vital role in the economic success of ...

It is said that great character comes from the inside of a person and not the outside; that good people can be found in any race, color, gender and creed. Such is true in the case of Amanda Smith, a pioneer in evangelism and servitude during the late 19th century. Smith’s genuine character proved that goodness could transcend color, gender and tragic experience. Amanda Smith was born into slavery on January 23, 1837 in a rural town in Maryland. She spent the majority of the adolescent and adult years, however, in York, Pennsylvania, joining the family there after ...

Argumentative Essay

Military innovation contributes to the success of states in war. However, it has been shown in the literature that the U.S. and Britain failed to significantly innovate or revolutionize their military in the interwar period. This paper argues that this failure is primarily rooted in two major factors: anti-militarism attitudes, and a military culture that disregards the usefulness of past military experiences to future wars. During the interwar period, few refuted the importance of mechanized, powered means of transportation and tanks. The debate revolved around whether this technology could be integrated into traditional processes or strategies or whether more ...

If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009, n.p.).

Why the North Won the Civil War

As many understand now, the Confederacy’s economy was based almost entirely on what it could produce agriculturally. Essentially, the economy was built on the backs of slaves and when the war began, there was only one iron foundry south of the Mason Dixon line. Confederate leaders remained sure this, as well as cotton and other agricultural endeavors would be enough to see the states through the war and beyond. They may have been correct in believing this at the time, as Britain relied heavily on the cotton resources to continue their textile industries, and Confederate leaders assumed if ...

Introduction

The term “Brexit” has been highly popularized across the world today, but it has its root in the result of the referendum on June 23, 2016, for UK's exit from the EU. Brexit is simply a short-form for “British exit” (Mirror, 2016). EU members perceive Brexit as calamitous and in fact one of the most unfortunate events that have occurred throughout the lifetime of the Union. Britain became a member of the EU (formally known as the European Economic Community, ECC) on January 1, 1973, 12 years from the time it applied to join the community, and resultantly, it ...

Question 1

The possibility of more European Countries drifting away from the Euro lies in limbo considering the adverse impacts that Brexit has on Britain’s economy. Even before the eventual secession of the UK from the Europe Union, the country has begun to feel the heat and economic turmoil of disengaging with the rest of the countries that form the confederation. Politically, UK is losing grip in the control of Europe as Russia emerges as the best bet to control the entire region. Therefore, leaving out the EU is both an economic and political misery to any country, since the ...

The concept of political development seems to be quite a simple one on its face. Without investigating the role of the state too deeply, it is clear to see that in general, there are distinctions between the developmental levels of states around the world; while poverty exists in every nation, there are some that are much more stricken with the problem than others. In addition, relative levels of poverty within a nation is a scalable phenomenon—that is, levels of poverty and the very meaning of poverty can change across different political landscapes around the world. The conceptualisation of ...

America and the Great War

Nationalism, imperialism and militarism are considered to be the three major causes to have set the stage for the Great War or the World War I (WWI).

During the course of the nineteenth century nationalism became stronger. During this period basic literacy had increased which contributed to nationalism. Imperialism is the second major cause of the WWI. Imperialism refers to a country expanding its power and influence using military or ...

The Industrial Revolution began in England in the late 18th century, spreading all across Europe before it finally reached North America and Canada at a later date. The late arrival of the revolution to the colonies was, at least in part, due to the distance between them and the countries of Europe. We can, however, also demonstrably say that the slowness of the revolution in Canada at least was due to the sheer distances involved in the colonies themselves. This paper will examine the industrial revolution in Canada, moving from general terms to specific ones, in order to show ...

What was the Basis of the East India Trading Company’s Interest in India?

The East India Trading Company (hereafter referred to as the EIC) had two purposes in creating an economic foothold in the vast continent of India. First, and perhaps most important, was the fact that Britain was lagging behind the rest of Europe when it came to trade – despite their control of the seas (which, incidentally, interested Indian rulers almost as much as India interested the EIC), they were losing economic control to countries like the Netherlands and the Portuguese. While the Dutch, at least, had already established their own market in India, EIC agents hoped that they would be ...

Some of the greatest works of Victorian literature look at English culture in the 1800s through a critical or jaundiced eye; these works then find ways to expose the restrictive, oppressive and isolationist aspects of British culture that were characteristic of the empire at that time. This is particularly true of Bram Stoker’s Gothic novel Dracula, as it looks critically at race through the personification of Dracula as the feared Other from Eastern Europe, seeking to violate the women of England with his exotic sexuality and behavioral taboos. Looking at Dracula through the lens of race, it becomes ...

Why the War for Independence was Justified Rebellion?

The American Revolution or the War for Independence was a justified rebellion because people should be allowed to freely make their own choices within the boundaries of any governmental institution. The British government at the time had according to Thomas Jefferson become destructive of one’s right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. How unfairly it was for Great Britain to impose a tax on the American colonies? There was also no representation in parliament. This was unfair to the colonists, and it needed to be abolished. The politics of taxing the colonists would only benefit the ...
