The Cost of Empire

Empire's price is literally a group of countries or states that are governed by the empire, the empress or other powerful sovereignty or government. But what sacrificed or abandoned in the process of creation and maintenance of the empire, what is the "cost" of the empire? In Virgil's Aeneid, Virgil explained these costs from three different perspectives. Initial view was at the individual level, when Ai Nears killed himself or killed himself in the course of the epic, his father, wife, lover and his allied son killed himself.

This course examines one of the most permanent and controversial aspects of modern history - the powerful national trend of building an empire and supporting the empire with most sacrifice. "Empire in modern history" is important for the use of power, the use of trade as an empire's power, the concept of racial and cultural advantage, the colonization of the "third world", and the prolonged influence of imperialism It is posing a historical problem. The most famous 'old' empire of the twentieth century and the nineteenth century came from Western Europe, but the course also analyzed Japan, the Soviet Union and the "new" empire of the United States which became very powerful in the 20th century Did.

In the 18th century, some European monarchies established an exclusive trade empire in North America and the Caribbean. Smith considers that the cost of maintaining these empires is not worth the cost of their economic interest and suggests that free trade with independent colonies is more valuable in the long term . This is a particularly controversial argument, and in the 1770s Britain tried to maintain that American colony. Mr. Smith explained the advantages of specialization and division of labor in the early 18 th century UK industrial plant and explained how it can increase productivity and overall prosperity. He used the example of a needle factory: each of the ten professional workers assigned to a particular job can produce 48,000 stitches per day. Without division of labor, it is almost impossible for each worker to manufacture a pin every day.
