The only conflict that I can think of where the British attacked someone of Asian descent was the First Opium War in China(1839-1842).  The war happened because English traders from the British East India Company could no longer sell opium in China, the only goods the English could get the Chinese to buy in mass so the English could make a profit on the tea they bought from China.  Since opium was illegal in China the Qing Dynasty arrested the flow of opium causing the British to go to war in China.  China was defeated and in 1842 they signed the Treaty of Nanjing giving the British full rights to control trade in China and establish Western quarters in Chinese cities where Westerns were subjected to their own law not Chinese law.  I know their was a second Opium War against China I believe started by the French, my Asian history is not as good as my European history so I can't say if there were any other attacks outside of the English attempting to hang onto their colonies in Malaysia and Indonesia after WW II.

Basically, its about Great Britain. At least that's what this site says......\n\n"AN ACT for the better securing the dependency of his Majesty's dominions in America upon the crown and parliament of Great Britain......"\n\nHope this helps. Good luck with the project!

Well i should ask you, about the killings that the the LTTE has done for the last few years of cease fire! and what about the bomb in the ancient city of anuradhapura which killed 70 school children? this war is not between Tamils and Sinhalese, but between the LTTE leader ( who threw a lavish b'day party in London for his daughter, when he is recruiting child soldiers in Sri Lanka) who wants to retain his power and the Sri Lankan Government, the truth about the photograph's should be dealt with carefully, and i wish to urge to those who read not to throw your self but to search for facts before!

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

None.  It was enacted as a response to the searches carried out by England which were the primary reason for the revolutionary wat.  England was issuing "writs of assistance" to customs officers to combat the growing problem of smuggling to avoid taxes paid to England.

A very interesting and very controversial question. Not everyone is going to accept either side's position. \n\nThere are two ways to look at the situation: History of ownership & current residents.\n\nMost of the current residents are British citizens of Scottish descent. The inhabitants, for the most part, are extremely supportive of their British status. I was in Argentina last year and visited the Falklands, as I'm a historian and have a prticular interest in the FIs. \n\nAs to the history, it's varied and not entirely bloodless, even before the Falkland War most people think of when those words are used.\n\nThe FIs were unihabited when the Spanish arrived, but archaeological evidence suggests native visitations, probably by the Yaghan (a native peoples of Tierra del Fuego). The Spanish took control, though both the French & the Brits had various types of inhabitations on the islands. Eventually, the UK invaded in 1833. It's pretty much been Brit ever since then. Argentina still claims it, though the Argies are in no shape to cntest this.\n\nSo, who "was right"? It all depends on your politics. If you believe in Argentine expansion (or "Reclamation") of former or contested possessions, then certainly the Argies were correct in invading. If you want to honor the wishes of a vast percentage of the population as well as the standing historical occupation of the island, then the Brits. \n\nIt's all in the politics.

Your question may have been easier to defend than your details, which are loaded.\n\nSince when is stating historical fact "bad-mouthing?"\n\nI don't particularly enjoy thinking about our nation's slaughter of the natives.  But I would be ridiculous to say it never happened.

The Malayan Union was a confederation of the Malay states and the Straits Settlements excluding Singapore, which was placed as a crown colony under direct British rule. It was the successor to British Malaya and was conceived to simplify the administration of British colonies in the Malay Peninsula. It was formed on April 1, 1946 by the British.\n\nLearn more on that site

First, missionaries came to Hawaii. They thought that the natives needed civilizing. Years later, they decided they didn't like the monarchy. So they overthrew the government. The U.S. annexed it.\n\nThat is the short and sweet version.

Main reason is because most international org. (such as League of Nations, United Nations, EA etc.) use diplomacy and not enforcement to enforce peace. While they have been able to maintain peace for the most part (if you think we have higher incidence of warfare today, you should read what was going on in the world in the pre-19th century era--every continent was ablaze with war, strife, looting, occupation etc.), they cannot overcome warfare caused by fanatics like the muslims in this world---these fanatics do not obey rule of law except when it suits them. They need to be vanquished only through warfare. A good example of peacekeeping is the ending of the dispute between UK and Ireland, and one between India and Pakistan--both, while still there, are dormant and mostly at peace except for the actions of the religious fanatics--in the case of Ireland, Christians, and in the case of Pakistan, Muslims.

As the North Island became overpopulated and resources declined there was a lot of fighting.  It is at this time that the pas (hilltop fortresses) were built. The fighting continued up to European settlement.  \n\nMaoris are no more inherently violent than any other people, but they, like everyone else, are capable of violence when their society is stressed.

The train is operated by Malaysia. It's a malaysian railway, not ours. They bought the land to operate the railway, thus the land isn't ours!
