Question

7. Why do you think little of these struggles for independence are taught in the US in K-12 schools?

8. The sources also discuss how economic imperialism may still exist. What difficulties do former colonies face economically in the global markets? Should all nations trade goods with the rest of the world? Think of the irony with China: originally they had little desire to trade with the western world for they saw nothing of value in western goods, now China is one of the world's major economic powers and again the west wants China to open up to buying more goods from the west.

Explanation / Answer

7)There is a little mention of the strugg;es for independence in the K-12 books of US colleges possibly because of the following reasons like--According to historian Theodore Draper, 1)British provided and gave acceptance for all rules and regulations for the running of American government along with industrial revolution but Britain did not provide any money or investment from their country.2)The British provided their army and intelligence to USA for their struggle against independence and instead they asked America to agree provide their own army and intelligence through out the world for peace keeping and fight against unjustified division of land. 3)Further, the exit of France from america was also a matter of concern as major parts of canada were under French control in colonial treaties and the french were gaining further access and power in Canada which has the same constitution and race as USA.4)America realised that after such a big industrial revolution and imperialism, it was impossible to move back to the old colonial times in USA colonies so they agreed on mutual agreement and pacts with other countries of the world for economic and infrastructure development.5)British did not charge any tax or tariff from USA government after providing rules and regulations for the running of government.

8)Early in 1900-1920, the colonies of USA, Europe,China, Russia and Japan were facing the problem of Great depression after initial years of rapid trade agreement between various countries for goods, and machines.There was a lot of trade without any tariff and tax and various economies were divided accordingly like Europe ,USA wee in the planned economies whereas India was in under development economies where there was dependence on international monetary organisation,wordl bank for the development of infrastructure and economic development of the country but countries like China,japan ,Russia were worst hit after world war.This led to the imposement of heavy taxes and tariffs for trade agreement with other countries, massive trade tax rules after the development of various items and goods in the market which ultimately were bargained by other countries at low prices even though they were manufactured with very investment in China leading to huge losses. Later, the value of these trade items were realised in 1970 were China became a world power as proper payment and taxes, tariffs and duties with rules and regulations were planned in International Trade Organisation and General agreement of trade and tariffs (GATT).
