The british had to control the people of south africa and chose concentration camps to do so. The english also wanted nothing to do with peaceful protesters so they chose to slaughter them all with gunfire later known to be called the Amritsar Massacre. Last but not least the partitioning of India was a terrible event that could have been avoided if Cyril Radcliffe was given more time to draw it"10 Evil Crimes Of The British Empire”. When the british controlled India they were responsible for terrible things such as Boer concentration camps, the Amritsar Massacre, and the partitioning of India. The british needed the South African population under control and had the manpower to do so. They rounded up tens of thousands of innocents and put them into detainment camps"The Evil British.". Guards would take away food rations for the slightest perceived offense. When they rounded up the boers they detained any black africans they encountered, 20,000 of which were worked to death in slave labor camps. In total ten percent of the entire boer population died. British policy in the war killed 48,000 civilians which is more than the each sides total soldiers lost put together"10 Evil Crimes Of The British Empire”. …show more content…
Troops blocked the exits to the garden the protesters were in and opened fire until they ran out of ammunition. The citizens stampeding towards the exits caused a lethal crush killing people with the weight. Over 100 women and children who tried to hide in wells drowned from troops covering the wells so they couldn’t escape. When the british parliament found out about the atrocities they recalled the brigadier back to britain but the public considered him a hero stopping the violent uproar"10 Evil Crimes Of The British Empire”.

British Imperialism negatively affect on Indian Politics. Due to the government being beyond the control of native Indians and the fallout of religious groups fighting after independence made the political climate a toxic one. Though the British administration was “superbly efficient” (¶#6, Lavani), that administration was made of 960 offices. 900 offices were held by english men whilst the remaining 60 were held by Indian politicians (Document 2). Natives in government positions were outnumbered 15 to 1, an insane statistic that left Indians politically powerless.
British Imperialism was horrible and it should always be remembered that way. British Imperialism started with the British wanting to make trade safer, reliable, and inexpensive. They had the East India Company explore navigation trade routes. The EI Company got involved in hostilities leading to them overthrowing Bengal, while at the same time the British Parliament started regulating the EIC, which put Bengal under indirect control of the British government. The next 80 years the company extended across the subcontinent, leaving the British to be in almost full control in most of India, which most consider to be colonization.
British imperialism had a negative impact on the politics of India because of the establishment of the framework for India that leads to their downfall and the Indian Army which they used to control their own kind. According to Dr.Lalvani, the British established the framework for India’s justice system, civil services, loyal army, and the efficient loyal police. (Paragraph #6). While this is true, the framework didn’t include the Indians, because “Of 960 civil offices, 900 are occupied by English men and 60 by natives”(Doc. #2). British laws often benefited the British and were designed to limit the freedom of speech of the Indians, for example, the Rowlatt Act in 1919. (Gandhi). This evidence shows that the British, when creating the framework for the new and improved India wanted to benefit from it while trying to lower the Indian’s and limit the
British imperialism, changing our lives from the start to the end, impacting the whole world, by 1920, the British Empire ruled over one quarter of the world. This one quarter also included the population of India. Basically starting because of the British East India company needing things such as indigo for cloth and cotton, the British government decided to take over and control politically, economically, and socially over India. The British Introduced the Indians to a new way of control and government and industrialised India. But the British made a government more for control rather than to improve the Indians lives and serve them.
The British starved the indians to death literally, so many people were dieing because they got no food. The British stole all of the India’s government away from them and changed it. The British were tearing down their forests and using it to plant cash crops/ crops. They also made it to where they stopped the spreading of new languages and their cultures. Although the British had power their rule
The British imperialism is a negative impact on political, economic and social of Indian. The British controlled the government and made the Indians pay unfair taxes, grow cash crops and increased the frequency and severity of famines and manipulation of the cloth market. The British also wouldn’t let all Indians learn English. Why did the British do this to the Indians? The Indians politics had a negative Impact because the British controlled the government and made the Indians pay unfair taxes.
There are so many reasons as to why India and Great Britain both got benefits from imperialism. Great Britain, the most powerful country in the world (at the time) just so happened to be very imperialistic. They took over India, and brought a lot of *civilized features to India. This helped shape the India everyone knows about today. British Imperialism vastly improved India because the location was great, the resources were satisfactory, and the country had a very immense population.
Would you like if someone came into your house and start changing everything you do? Well, that is what the British did to India but on a bigger scale. The British thought that Indian had a lot of resources, which it did it was called “Jewel in the crown.” So, they came in and started changing their political, economic, and social ways of life. There were some positives and some negative to what happens when the British control India. This was a negative effect of India because they had no responsibility in their government, forced to grow cash crops, and learning the English language. Although I believe it was negative, some people believe it was a positive effect on India.
World War II is considered a war of ethics, and oppression against liberty. The Nazis murdered 20,946,000. In addition, the Japanese killed 5,964,000. The Allies, however, were even worse. The U.S.S.R. killed 42,672,000 citizens; China killed 10,214,000. Finally, Britain was responsible for the deaths of 816,000 in the 20th century near the end of its conquests. British area bombing missions were specifically calculated to destroy as many homes as possible. Both sides were mass murderers.
New Imperialism was a period of expansion by European nations in the late nineteenth century. The ideas around New Imperialism were the acquisition of territory overseas, mainly the east, and the advances of technology for conquest and exploitation of resources. Britain was a dominant world power in the late nineteenth century for three different reasons. The first was Britain could produce more manufactured goods than its population could use so they had plenty of goods to market to foreign buyers. The second reason why Britain was a dominant power was because of all of their territories such as India, Asia, and etc.
In the past few centuries, multiple countries largely involved in imperialising had been in Western Europe. They had imperialism in places such as Asia, Africa, and America. When a country imperialized, they extend their rule into a foreign country. Imperializing a country allows trade with the country that is taking the rule and also their allies. With this in mind, it is clear that there is a worldwide economy coming together through the trade of goods and services.
India and South Africa were two important nations on two different continents. But although they looked strong on the outside, each one suffered from a disease that threatened the health of the whole. For India, the disease was colonization. For South Africa, it was racial segregation.
The Boer War was fought with the South African Republic and the Orange Free State on one side against the British Empire. It was fought over the British Empire's influence in South Africa. Starting in 1899, and ending in 1902 with the British victorious, the Boer War was a short but violent war. The Boers were not opposed to guerilla tactics, and held a strong resistance. In retaliation, the British placed boer children and women in what they called concentration camps. These camps were responsible for the deaths of many Boers, who died from disease and exposure.
The Boers tried to keep these foreigners from obtaining political rights and accused the British for the incident. Due to all this, they fought against the British (Littel, 2009, p.778). Word about southern Africa’s riches had been exploited. Every country came in from all sides to get a piece. The Boers, who lived there, did not want anyone gaining control of their land.
British imperialism had a negative impact on the politics of india because the laws benefited the british and the justice system biased against indians. Lalvani claims the British justice system was fair. Even though it was seen this way by Lalvani the justice system punished British less harshly than Indians (Doc 4). For example, a British man who shot his Indian servant dead got six months jail time and a fine of about 100 rupees (Doc 4). While an Indian charged with attempted
