Tuesday Night Homework

Sorry for the late post-

Why do you think Britain and other European countries were able to have such a large empire, despite being such small countries?

I THINK BRITAIN AND OTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES WERE ABLE TO HAVE SUCH A LARGE EMPIRE BECAUSE THEY HAD A POWERFUL ARMY OR SUCH A GREAT LEADER.

I think they had such a strong empire because they had a leader that was good. Also they new that the weaker countries wouldn't do anything because they needed the halp to make their countries better

Their Empires Were So Large Becuase They Were Able To Industrialize Everything Sooner Then Others Which Was An Advantage . They Got To Make More money By Producing Things By Machine .

Mr. Hostetter said...

Why though? Industrialized countries? New technology? Better weapons?

Mr. Hostetter said...

Yes, you are right, a very army. Even a stronger navy( boats)

Mr. Hostetter said...

Good point. Maybe the countries they went to were all much weaker and under developed

Mr. Hostetter said...

Another good point nafeese. Industrialization was a major factor in Britains ability to dominate the world.

The reason why Britain and European countries had such a strong empire is because even thought they were small , they had more firepower.Other countries never had the firepower of the Europeans. So , Europeans decide that they were the strongest nation and wanted to expand there empire.

I think that the Britain had a large empire because everyone did not know who too turn too before and they was confused that they could be in danger of other people trying to over throw their country so they had too turn to a person that wanted the job.
