National endowment and institutional environment! In the era of European colonial expansion, why did

With the blessing of the national endowment and institutional environment, Britain's colonial expansion was very smooth, and it successfully established its maritime supremacy and became an "empire on which the sun never sets".

I think it was because of the first industrial revolution in Britain at that time.

Although Britain's colonial expansion was relatively late, the country's resilience was strong.

First of all, the UK is very resilient. Other than that, there is the institutional environment in the UK.

First, the UK has a good geographical location; It is possible to maintain the army in small quantities and develop the navy; There is a land threat in other European countries; The army must be developed; The Navy will invest less; second, to maintain continental balance; The European-stirring stick is not called for nothing.

But the good thing is that the resilience of this country is very strong. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth, a total fish-eating day was decreed.

In the era of European colonial expansion, Britain conquered vast territories with its great strength, so Britain is also known as the "empire on which the sun never sets". The reason why Britain has been able to surpass other countries and catch up is because Britain is blessed with unique resources.

The UK's unique resources are all in the following three aspects:

1. The character of the British nation

The British can really be said to be very supportive of the Queen, for example, Elizabeth ordered the whole country to eat fish on a certain day of the week, and took the form of legislation to demand the people. This is how the British rulers changed the habits of the British people, both in terms of eating habits and living habits. In this way, the British began to eat a lot of fish, which also led to the development of the British fish industry.

More and more people began to go out to sea to fish, and the people's water quality is getting better and better, and a lot of sailors have been trained.

2. The credit of the British state

Once, there was a phenomenon of bad currency in the pound, and the content of ** in the bad currency was very small, which led to the reluctance to accept the pound in the international market. Elizabeth ordered the bad pounds to be recalled and reminted. It can be seen from this that the British attach great importance to the credibility of the country and the stable development of the country's long-term peace and stability.

3. The institutional environment in the United Kingdom

Ever since Britain signed the Magna Carta, British society has embraced the spirit of the system. For example, at that time, the British wool was very good, in order to protect the development of wool, so they formulated a stricter patent system to protect the commercial monopoly of the wool industry, which also greatly enhanced the national and industrial strength of the United Kingdom.

Therefore, the reason why Britain can surpass other countries is that it has done it step by step with its own resources and advantages.

Britain has always been one of the most militarily powerful countries in Europe, and their sailors were the key to victory. At that time, Napoleon had no way to take them, in order to defeat Britain, France, which had swallowed almost the whole of Europe, had to swallow Russia again to fight Britain. It can be seen that the strength of Britain is huge, and as a result, Napoleon was defeated and never returned.

Of course, colonial expansion also relied on the strength of the naval army, and no one in Europe could match Britain except Spain.

Because the Glorious Revolution of 1688 established the British constitutional monarchy, Britain was the first industrialized country in the world, the first to complete the industrial revolution, and the national power grew rapidly. From the 18th century to the early 20th century, Britain ruled the territory of the world across seven continents, and was the most powerful country in the world at that time, known as the empire on which the sun never sets.

In the 16th century, England defeated Spain's "Invincible Armada" and began to gain maritime supremacy, followed by the promulgation of the Navigation Regulations and the defeat of the Netherlands in the mid-17th century.

Britain went through two industrial revolutions, far surpassing the predominantly agricultural countries of the time. The development of the Industrial Revolution enabled Britain to surpass other countries in terms of production technology, economic level and military power.

The two successful industrial revolutions that originated in Britain discovered the pioneer trend of the times and seized the opportunity, resulting in outstanding results.

The main thing is that Britain, after two industrial revolutions, was able to allow itself to enter the industrial era earlier.

The main thing is that there is a good leader who leads them, and their innate conditions are also very generous.

From the colonial.

In terms of nature, it can be roughly divided into three types: colonization colonies, resource plundering colonies and commercial colonies.

Main types. These three.

The colonies were along with capitalism.

The development process of the development of the process of the development of the process of the development of the development of the After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, its overseas provinces and colonies fell to the Eastern Roman Empire.

Frankish Empire, .

The people of the North American colonies generally believed that the power of the colonies came from the British royal charter, not the British Parliament, and this should be from the CCTV documentary "The Rise of a Great Power" in the United States, I don't know if the landlord watched it on TV or bought a book.

If it's a TV documentary, then it's from Episode 10 New Country New Dream (USA I);

If it's in a book, then it's from the "Independence Storm" section of Part 1 of "The Rise of Great Powers: America."

Getting back to business: Let's first look at the historical background in which North Americans said this sentence:

In 1763, Britain won the Seven Years' War with France for its colonies, but also owed a huge war debt.

So the British Parliament decided to increase taxes on the colonies.

In 1764, the Sugar Tax Act was enacted in England; In 1765, the Stamp Act was enacted.

As early as 1689, Britain passed the Bill of Rights, established parliamentary sovereignty, and began a constitutional monarchy.

So the previous two tax laws were passed smoothly, and the British crown did not intervene to increase taxes, in fact, since the 18th century, the British crown has never vetoed a bill passed by Parliament, so why did the people of the colonies say so?

Reason Sophistry for the sake of self-interest, Parliament has decided that if the power of the British crown is greater than that of Parliament, then there is a glimmer of hope for the people of North America (the British crown can veto the new tax law).

So they did not hesitate to exalt the already declining royal power in order to degrade the power of parliament.

Political tradition, at that time (mainly earlier), it was generally believed that the ruling power of the colonies belonged to the monarch of the ruling country.

The inhabitants of North America have entered into a treaty with the British Crown only, and they submit to the British Crown alone, and subject to his rule under the terms of this covenant (embodied in the charter), and not under the control and jurisdiction of the British people or any of their associations.

At the time of the establishment of the colony, real power was still in the hands of the British king, and the parliament was still an organization that obeyed the king's orders.

The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy with supremacy of the monarchy.

So the power of the colonies came from the British crown.

Because it was colonized by the British king.

Power comes from a certain king (or son of heaven), a remnant of feudal thinking. It's like the Zhou Dynasty in China, where the vassal states believed that power came from the Zhou king. At the beginning, Chu Guojun wanted to be the king and did everything possible to let the king of Zhou seal him, you want to be the king yourself, you can be the king yourself, why should the king of Zhou agree?

It was because the people of that time believed that the power came from the king. After the three families were divided, the rights of the Han, Zhao, and Wei families were also consolidated after being recognized by the king of Zhou.

The idea that this power came from a certain king disappeared with the collapse of feudalism in China at the end of the Zhou Dynasty, but it still dominated the West a millennium or two later. So much so that the Chinese feel very incredible when they hear that the power comes from the British king. But Chinese 2,000 years ago would never be surprised to hear this statement.

The Bill of Rights was the institutional factor in the completion of the transition to a virtual monarchy in England.

1.Legal guarantees for limiting the power of the king.

2.The powers of the parliament were established.

3.The bourgeois rule of the British constitutional monarchy was thus established.

The Bill of Rights was an important legal document in the English bourgeois revolution, but it was not constitutional. It laid the theoretical and legal foundation of the British constitutional monarchy, established the principle that the power of parliament is higher than the royal power, marked the beginning of the establishment of the constitutional monarchy in the United Kingdom, and cleared the way for the rapid development of British capitalism.

The King of England signed the Magna Carta.

Knowledge-based questions need to be answered directly to the questions first, straight to the point, and then extend the relevant knowledge points.

The development and growth of the bourgeoisie.
