hmm well after the french revolution and the beheaded of theyre king things started to shake up in europe wht lead to the industrial revolution in the middle of the 19th century in UK ( united kingdom) the industrial revolution spread out throughout europe and by tHEN as u surely know britain and france were the two bigest forces around so with the industrial revolution reaching france and with the expandment of the industrial part of the french economy france needed lots and LOTS of "raw material" to b used in theyre industries to b bought in LOW prices as well as new markets to export theyre industrial merchandise to.. and the only way possible if to colonise every lil area they could reach theyre hand on tht the english didnt cover yet

There really was not one battle that made the French enter the war on Americas side but rather it was the fact it was someone fighting against the British and holding their own and the fact that it was against the British that caused the French to fight against them.  The French and British had fought against eachother so often and the French lost most of the time was another factor.

Portuguese and their colonies, like Brazil, parts of India and Africa.

teh Iriqois Empire is the most powerful group of Indians during the Colonial Period. It is made of many different kinds of indian tribes. It affected the rise of the colonial society because they helped the colonists of America survive the land they live in: they showed them the geography, they traded with them, and other aids

The French-Indian War, was not the French fighting the Indians. The French joined the Indians in fighting  Americans, in the hopes of gaining American territory for France. France has always been a pain in the side of the U.S. Yes, the Statue of Liberty was a trick.

It was for colonization.  People were wanting to move farther into the country and they were mostly farmers.

Technically, the term West Indies doesn't actually refer to a specific place. But rather to the people of the Caribbean islands and some parts of South America, who were joined together by Colonial governments. Is that what you're referring to?

The French because it helped to speed the French withdrawl from Algeria and thereby rid the country of the responsibility of ruling over that sorry lot of people.

It definitely would be a different world.  I'm not sure if it would be better.\n\nThat little country touched every continent.  But so did other countries.  France, Dutch, Portugal, Spain.  It's just England was stronger at that time.\n\nIf not them  one of the other ones would have.

It is to light the way for the incoming immigrants to a new land.  It was designed and built by the French.

Well Portugal colonized Brazil and during the Napoleonic Wars Emperor Dom Pedro II moved his court to Brazil and ruled the Portuguese Empire from there to escape the atrocities of the French.  Thus, Brazil is the only Portuguese speaking country in South or Central America.\n\nSpain settled the rest of south and central America (when a corrupt pope arbitrated a longitudinal line of separation).  Spain instituted a policy of paying it's officials only a fraction of what was required to live on...effectively forcing a system of graft and corruption that exists in Latin America to this day.  The officials even crafted a saying regarding the Crowns' requirements to be honest in dealings and to uphold the law.  "Yo Obisbo y no compleo"  (not sure of the spelling there, been a few years since I took Latin American History).  Means "I obey but do not comply."\n\nMuch of the Iberian peninsula is semi-arid...and except for Argentina and Chile and Mexico....the rest of Latin America is forests or tropical climates...there is some trade, but not all that much, about what one would expect of second world nations.

It's cultural. These countries didn't exist before colonialism, just a series of tribal areas constantly shifting. Colonialism brought many benefits but the tribes still existed within the new boundaries, as soon as we left greed and rivalry ensured a breakdown of all the structures. Our own borders took many hundreds of years to establish. It takes a long time to form a stable Nation. You can lead a horse to water .....

My dear Beachbaby,\n\nThis is clearly a homework question you're hoping someone will answer for you.\n\nI won't do that, but I will give you a headstart with some links:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire\n\nhttp://europeanhistory.about.com/od/colonimperialism/\nmany good links there!\n\nI suspect that if this question came straight out of your history/social studies book, the answer can be found in the chapter you were assigned to read ;-)\n\nHTH,\n\nJennyinJamaica

Other countries tend to enter into territories not their own.  Perhaps this is because they want to contain any "bad" factors that could affect the entire globe.

They were down there helping lay the groundwork for the coming takeover of Latin-America by the Anglo-American aristocracy who will soon be migrating south seeking refuge from the coming Ice Age.\n\nOh, I'm sorry, were you looking for a serious answer?\n\nWell I'm half-serious; there must be some reason why all the elite factions of the Western world seem to be trying to move their powerbase south.  \n\nThink about it.....\n\nNimadan
