A) How did the British rule affect India?

- The British rule affected India by keeping public order and ending many local wars among the other states. They builte roads, bridges, and railroads, established factories, hospitals, and schools, and tried to improv Indian farming methods. It was quite awkward between the two very different groups living side by side. The British ended up putting themselves above Indian society.

B) Why were the Japenese able to reform and industrialize their nation so quickly?

- The Japenese were able to reform and industrialize their nation so quickly because of The Meiji Restoration. Westerners did not rule in Japan, but they greatly influenced the Japanese with their Western ideas. In response to this, Japan changed its form of government and began to industrialize.

C) How did United States expansion in Hawaii differ from it’s expansion in the Philippines?

- The United States expansion in Hawaii differed from it’s expansion in the Philippines because in Hawaii business people from the United States began to arrive in Hawaii in 1865 and started huge sugarcane and pineapple plantations. They soon wanted more control over the island’s government, in 1893 the business leaders gained the power to do so and they ended up taking over Hawaii in 1898. As for the expansion in the Philippines they had to use military power to gain control.
