  5. Effects of Empire-The Caribbean

  6. Effects of Empire – The Caribbean This object caused a certain amount ofWars between China & The British Empire

  7. WHY THE WARS The Caribbean country, known as Jamaica, was forced to give there lovely exotic fruits over to the English,or else death. Well what could the Caribbean do, they had no choice because that particular country had no army or no war equipment. The English wanted Jamaica’s sugar cane for there tea The sugar cane was kneaded for just the sugar. So that’s the reason of some wars

  8. This is a map to show South East Asia. It shows all the routes they went and got their trades.

  9. South east Asia and it’s trades SouthEast Asia was the location of the fabled Spice Islands. These islands attracted European sailors and adventurers since the Elizabethan era for fame and fortune Even when the spice market grew less important, the region still maintained its commercial and strategic importance by being the main trade route to the highly profitable Chinese markets

  10. HOW SLAVE TRADE STARTED • The Slave trade, started by the Portuguese in the middle of the 15th Century. • This was closely followed by the Spanish. • By the British in 1562. • The Dutch (about 1620), the French (about 1640). • The Swedes, Danes and Prussians in the 18th Century. • http://www.boondocksnet.com/editions/morel

  11. At the end of the 1400’s,Europeans started to take people from Africa against their will. Initially they were mainly used as servants for the rich. The Europeans justified the taking of slaves by arguing that they were providing an opportunity for Africans to become Christians. By the 17th century the removal of slaves from Africa became a holy cause that had the full support of the Christian Church.

  12. THE SLAVE TRADE TRIANGLE This boat is what those poor slaves have to travel in, to be traded for spices ,tea and all those things that the British wanted especially.

  13. THE BRITISH SLAVE TRADE An estimated 15 million Africans were transported to the Americas between 1540 and 1850. To maximize their profits slave merchants carried as many slaves as was physically possible on their ships. A House of Commons committee in 1788 discovered that one slave-ship, The Brookes, was originally built to to carry a maximum of 451 people, but was carrying over 600 slaves from Africa to the Americas.

  14. Slaves • All slaves were treated badly.Some tried to defend themselves which often resulted in death.

  15. The Opium Wars • By 1804 China's purchase of opium had exceeded her ability to sell native products such as tea. • This trade imbalance led to a net outflow of silver specie, which destabilized the national economy. • Britain had few manufactured goods which China wanted, so the bulk of payments for the tea were of necessity in silver. • At this time Britain was consuming over 15 million pounds of Chinese tea per year.

  16. The begining of the tea trade Europe was introduced to tea during the early 17th century. The English, Dutch, and Russians consumed the beverage in mass quantities, and all of them followed this pattern. The first ship known to have brought tea to Europe was possibly Dutch, and arrived circa 1610 from Macao (Toussaint 597). The first Englishman to write about tea was R. L. Wickham of the East India Company in 1615, in a letter from Japan (Britannica 738).

  17. The Cutty Sark The Cutty Sark was a ship that won many Ocean Going Races or better known as Tea Races. We’re very fortunate as we can visit The Cutty Sark.It is in dry docks at Greenwich Town Centre by Greenwich Pier. We were very lucky to be able to see The Cutty Sark’s log on our visit to The National Maritime Museum nearby.

  18. GOOD OR BAD? • The British Empire was a good thing because • It bought a lot of variety of foods into Britain. • It bought different cultures into Britain. • It bought materials into Britain. • . The British Empire was a bad thing because • A lot of people were made slaves and died. • Wars were started. • People were treated badly I think it’s good that Britain now has lot of varieties, but I think that Britain should of found a different way to get things. They shouldn’t of treated people badly.
