Impact of British Colonization on the Gulf
Imp pretend of British Colonization on the  disjuncture1. IntroductionThe term  small town is  utilize to refer to the active  disperse of   administrational and stinting power  everywhere a region, on the  man of a country which has occupied the location, and which is  usually far in advance of it, in terms of military and technical prowess. It  mint be defined by the movement of foreign nationals to the location, or by an   perishary seizure of power  everyplace the region, either via political or military means.This  affect  drive out be triggered by  many a(prenominal)  assorted things  a swollen population, economic upheaval,  fond disturbances, and even  spiritual conflicts  deep down the region being  colonize. Yet, all of these factors  stomach be  united with expansionism, intrusive humanitarianism and the goals relating to national  culture, to at least  whatsoever degree. The act of  closure can be led by the goernment, or it can be an independent endeavor, helmed by big b   usiness. However, before the  treat can be started, any and all native citizens   ar first  required to be restrained and integrated, or adapted to the customs of the invaders or else, an  commensurateness has to be drawn up, via the obligation of a treaty or  prescribed alliance.The British empire was made up of the states, domains, provinces, dependencies and terrains which were goerned and controlled by Great Britain. It has its beginnings in the foreign trading routes created by Britain,  surrounded by the 16th and 18th century. At its peak, it was the biggest overseas kingdom ever seen and, for more than a hundred years, it was the  patriarchal  human being leader. By the end of 1922, Britain controlled more than 458 million  tidy sum  n proto(prenominal) a fifth of the global population. The empire itself stretched across more than 33,000,000 km squ atomic number 18d, which is approximately a quarter of the  firmament of the planet. Unsurprisingly ten, its political, legal and    cultural norms  traveled far and wide. At its strongest point, the adage the empire on which the sun never sets was commonly  purposed to refer to the British Empire, as its huge  show area meant that the sun would always be shining in at least one of its newly acquired domains (see Exhibit 1). 11.1 Definition of  settlement agree to the Collins  side of meat Dictionary, the word colonialism can be defined as the strategies and regulations of a power, in spreading  ascertain over  penetrable populations or regions. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary actually provides no less than four definitions, which include  virtuallything  deputy of a colony, and influence by one power, over a vulnerable region or population.2The Stanford  encyclopaedia of Philosophy utilizes the word colonialism to refer to the  convention of  europiuman invasion, and the spread of political influence, across the planet  this includes the  unify States, Australia and portions of Asia and Africa. It explores the     inequality  among colonialism and imperialism, claiming that as a result of the complexity of constantly separating the  cardinal words, this definition  allow for refer to colonialism as a widespread  nonion, relating to the process of European political control, from the 16th to the 20th century, which culminated in the national liberty protests of the sixties.31.2 Objectives of village1.2.1 Political  aspireThe political  figure can be assimilate in improve the colonial position in  contest for advanced positions on the ladder of the international  repels, in order to  throw a fit its influence in the international community and make it more  mighty to control the international resolutions and  necessitateed to its  good. 41.2.2 Economic PurposeColonization can be to have new  author for raw materials that country needed, the Europe industrial revolution that happened in the late eighteenth century and early nineteenth century create a need for new source of raw materials for the    new industrials.The industrial revolution created a wild manufacturing movement, spread across large factories in the colonial states and that led to have  unneeded in the goods, and  colony allow them to have new markets to sell their products. soak up  bald-faced labor, the colonial powers worked to move millions of people from areas colonized to  other areas, in order to employ low-wage or  dole out them as  hard workers. At present, many of the industrial countries transfer some of its factories to developing countries, to  have a bun in the oven advantage of cheap labor in these countries.Secure transportation routes was one of many purpose for colonization, many countries resort to colonize new areas to  situate transportation routes to different areas, in order to protect property and maintain its vital interests, and  enforce commercial stations. 51.2.3 Culture PurposeWhen you look at the linguistic  symbolise of the world, we find that the colonial  wording to replace the    local language in the colonial countries Most of the Spanish colonies in America, the Latin  utilize Spanish as an official language, and  face is the official language of a  digit of British colonies such as India and Nigeria, and South African, as French is the official language in the French colonies, such as Chad, Mali, Senegal, and the Portuguese language is the official language of Mozambique as a former Portuguese colony.If we  keep it to the second language in a  lean of countries, we find that they colonized the language, as is the case with English in Iraq, Egypt and Jordan, which is in line with what the world Tritscka said of that language is the basis of the booming trade, as the nation does not lose its colonies associated language and culture, even if interrupted political association. 61.2.3 Religious PurposeColonization has been associated with the  charge of a number of campaigns and missions consignments religious missionary, a number of them have succeeded in eva   ngelizing sectors of the population of the colonies, and was the most prominent cases of success in this area in African countries such as South Sudan and  grey Nigeria.1.3 Types of ColonizationIt is common for scholars to make a clear distinction between two closely related manifestations of colonialism. Settler colonialism refers to mass movements, usually  control by religious, political or economic motives.Exploitation colonialism did not  call for as many  unsettleds, and instead placed emphasis on the  accessibility of goods for international trade, usually at the centre of the empire. This latter definition relates to the use of trading stations, as well as bigger domains in which migrant colonists would manage most of the political and economic logistics. Yet, they would still lean  hard on native assets for labour and goods. Just before the culmination, and eventual eradication, of the slave trade, if native labour was not accessible, it was common for slave workers to be s   hipped to America, by migrant colonists from either Britain, France, Holland, Spain or Portugal.For instance, a plantation based  liquidation would be an exploitation colony. Yet, invading forces would take advantage of both types of colonialism, in various different domains, contingent on what sort of cultural, economic and topographic conditions confronted them.Surrogate colonialism is used to refer to a colonisation venture, funded by a dominant power, in which the majority of the migrants are not native to this power. internecine colonialism relates to imbalanced organisational influence, shared between regions of a nation state  the  chief(a) motivator of manipulation is the government itself.2. Colonization in the Arabian disconnectThe unique location of the area was the cause of the greed of others and a direct motivates them to attacks in order to control the strategic location, and undermine its authority in this vital region. Arabian  disconnection experienced multiple sta   ges of the foreign presence began to phase control of the Portuguese, followed by the Dutch occupation stage  indeed stage British colonization.Portuguese ambition to expand began in the fifteenth century, that ambition stemming from the desire to explore, and the desire to spread Christianity around the world. This expansion began in the Indian Ocean during their trips to west coast of Africa and southern deserts and in order to get the goods and slaves.The fall of Portuguese in 1625 after the  combat of Bandar Abbas had a big role in paving the way for the Dutch and the British to enter the region, and in a short  epoch its became a Dutch trading station at Bandar Abbas which was the most active and  victorious areas where traded sugar and spice and Indian fabrics, copper, iron, have concluded with Shah Abbas I in 1623 a contract for the silk trade. With the beginning of the seventeenth century, the Dutch became dominant force in the Indian Ocean and the Arabian disconnect.The Ara   bian  disjuncture was a battle field for European conflicts, specifically the British and French, but in 1810 the British navy campaign managed to hit the island of Mauritius, which was the start of the French attacks against the British rule enabling them to  aim the only dominant force in the region.Britishs began in this period to conduct surveys in the ports, and in the pearl banks to identify the nature of the area, which has increased the denominators activity in  tracking the British ships in the Indian Ocean (1811- 1818), Until they got to a distance of  round 60 km from Bombay, which prompted the British to develop plans to destroy the power of denominators and  fall in their union because they see in them a group of pirates, sending a campaign led by General Kiir to reticular activating system Al Khaimah, as a result, the British took control complete control over Arabian  disconnectedness.Login began with the Gulf sheikhs in the peace treaties, the best known Treaty (Gene   ral  field pansy 1820). Since that  sentence, British placed a naval force in Ras Al Khaimah, and then force in Qeshm and to oversee treaties signed.3. The  sham of British colonization in the Arabian GulfAny colonization will leave impact on the colonist, its can be positive or negative and to be more realistic it usually will be mix between them and the British colonization is no different, the Gulf area which was one of British colonists suffered politically, economically, and socially and in the same time they  wellbeing from that colonization.The British colonization on that time ended a  stria of wars and fights between tribes in Gulf and secure the area which gave people  in that location the feeling of safety, British colonization organized the trading between the  disconnectedness and India and eliminate the pirates by  musical arrangements with the gulf presidents at that time mostly with Oman and United Arabic Emirates, on other hand British Colonialism altered the geogra   phic map of the Gulf and drew the boundaries and appointed leaders over the Gulf countries. After WWII, the British were in Palestine, Iraq, Arabian Gulf, the Indian Subcontinent, Malaya, and Brunei. It replaced the educational, legal, and economic institutions. British colonialism replaced  Islamic self-rule under Islamic Law, which had been in existence from the time of the Prophet Muhammad, by their European lows.The Muslim worlds centuries of  want struggle with Western colonial rule was followed by authoritarian regimes installed by European powers. The absence of stable states has led many to ask whether  at that place is something  round Islam that is antithetical to civil society and rule of law. The answer to this  indecision lies more in history and  regime than in religion. Modern Muslim states are only several decades old and they were carved out by European powers to serve Western interests.British set the  security deposits for Iraq and Kuwait and created a new entity    called Jordan. Such arbitrary borders fed ethnic, regional, and religious conflicts including the Lebanese  courteous War between Christians and Muslims, the occupation of Lebanon by Syria, the Gulf War, which resulted from Saddam ibn Talal Husseins claim to Kuwaiti territory, and the Israel-Palestinian conflict.One of the biggest borders problems that stile exist the one between United Arabic Emirates and Saudi-Arabian Arabia, without a doubt the origin of the border problems due to the maps that drawn by the British to the region but  likewise Saudi Arabia greed that have borders problems with all Gulf countries contribute take that problem to other  aim.The dispute between Saudi Arabia and the UAE, has begun after the  license of the United Arab Emirates in the early seventies of the last century. The dispute was about the Buraimi Oasis, which was at the same time a subject of dispute between Abu Dhabi and Oman, which ended up sharing the region. And away from the logic, Saudi Ar   abia imposed on the UAE unfair deal when dropped their demands in the AL-Ain area and desert Dhafra according to Jeddah agreement to the border with the UAE in 1974, attached to it by recognizing the UAE, and got in return some areas. That agreement separated UAE and Qatar, and give Saudi Arabia 80% of the oil that was between the countries (see Exhibit 2).We can see on that  manakin how the British colonization even after it withdrew from the area produced contrasting appreciations, it give the preference for Saudi Arabia over UAE and a  hatch of oil that belong to Saudi Arabia  nowadays could be belong to UAE or at least could be  give voice field between the two countries.Also these borders separated UAE from Qatar which give the advantage to Saudi Arabia again, before the British colonization there was prosperous trade between UAE and Qatar throw their borders but after the new borders set they had to  cracking Saudi Arabia to reach each other which lead to weakness this trades    and in the same time benefit Saudi Arabia (see Exhibit 3).Political and economic models were borrowed from the West to replace the Islamic political and economic systems after  liberty from colonial rulers in the mid-twentieth century, creating overcrowded cities lacking social  countenance systems, high unemployment, government corruption, and growing the gap between rich and poor people. Rather than  direct to a better quality of life, Westernization led to the breakdown of traditional family, religious, and social values. Many Muslims blame Western models of political and economic development as the sources of moral decline and spiritual malaise.On other hand, the British colonization period strengthens the bonds between Gulf countries and western countries, and these relations still  quick until today, and we can clearly see it in the trading products between countries and how Gulf countries rely on Europe and epically on British to import lot of goods. On other level we can see    the influence of that colonization on the political system, where all Gulf countries leaders are from the  munificent family and not elected by people, on social and culture level the British colonization had a big influence on the people in the gulf region, because of all other factors we mentioned before and how close the Gulf become from British the people started to gain some habits from British culture. For example most people in Gulf and other colonies with was colonized by British like Egypt and Iraq started drinking tea and consider it necessary part of their daily life, which is originally an English habit. Another culture effect we  spy is the language influence, lot of our words that we used today are  taken from English language for example in Kuwait we say the  skim  plot its in Arabic language Etar and there are lot of other wards. But the language influence didnt  blockade there.In recent years, the subjects of global English, and language based imperialism, have bee   n explored in great depth  not least in the Arabian Gulf, where Arabic is still the main tongue, even if it is gradually becoming less used and less prevalent, especially in regards to the proportion of speakers. In many ways, the English language is now a representation of the internationalization and transformation, resulting from the hydrocarbon profits which support many of the Gulf nations. As these countries attempt to expand their economies, retain  experienced professionals, and prepare natives for life on the international stage, the English language has become a much talked about issue in discussions on religion, politics and society. In fact, it is regularly held responsible for the decay of Islamic lifestyles.Whilst the prominence of the English language certainly comes with disadvantages, a high proportion of young workers  come out to understand its benefits, and are much more willing to utilize it within business, law and science sectors. According to many of these pe   ople, poor English skills are one of the biggest limitations on the development of private sectors.According to the research of Karmani, which has monitored the development of the English language learning sector, in economic and social terms, in Arabic countries  these motivations, linking back to the fifties and seventies are entrenched in the political world, and have become reciprocally aligned.7A lot of workers in the Gulf come from domains which used to be controlled by the British Empire (regions like India and Pakistan), so the English language continues to have an important function for many. It can function as a primary lingua franca, particularly in regards to disparate  emigrant populations, and between Arabs and emigrants. In some of these nations, the emigrant population accounts for more than 81% (CIA, 2011).8A collective anxiety, across the Gulf nations, relates to the decay and possible abandonment of Arabic, as a written and  communicatory tongue. In fact, there ar   e lots of people, across the Emirati and the Arabic regions, who are extremely worried about the impact that this kind of linguistic  handing over is bound to be effecting on the integrity of the Arabic spoken in the UAE.4. ConclusionColonialism is a practice of domination, which involves political and economic control over the colonist areas. Economic Instability, political weakness, revolutions and other factors can be the  argue of colonization. The goal of colonization can be increase its power and influence globally, find a new source of row materials, widens its culture over the world, and expand its religious. Arabian Gulf went throw many colonialisms, the British colonization was the last one which controlled the area to achieve specific goals one of them to secure the trades that have established with India.Although that, Arabian gulf got freedom for a while now but we still can see that the impact of that colonization exist on several levels political, economic, and social   . Here we have to mention that the impact of the colonization is not always negative there are some positive impacts, like the economics relationship that existing between British and most Gulf countries and also the improvement in education process in these countries. On other hand colonization some time can create preference for one country over other country, like the dispute between Saudi Arabia and UAE over boards and how Saudi Arabia took over the oil fields.Exhibit 1British EmpireExhibit 2UAE-Saudi Arabia BoarderExhibit 3UAE-Qatar Boards1 Colonization.
