The Jesuit’s Take Over In 1632, there were French Catholic missionaries that were sent to New France to convert the First Nations into Catholics and to save them from being savages, and they would do this by forcing them to live their way, these people were called the Jesuits. They would also have to make them our allies. When the Jesuits got to New France and went on with their mission, they wrote journals and reports on their progress that would be sent back to their homeland, these documents are known as The Jesuit Relations. Their information might have been inflated due to the fact that their stories were being sold and it was probably written in a way that they would be able sell a lot of copies. The way these documents were written …show more content…

Back then the French did not know much about the First Nations, all they knew was what they observed. They sent the Jesuits to New France thinking that the First Nations needed their help, they thought that with their help the First Nation’s way of living could live up to their standards. The Jesuits believed that because they did not believe in their God, that is the reason things are happening the way they are now with many of their people dying, but little did they know that the Jesuits brought germs and viruses that, like the Jesuits, are foreign to the First Nations and they do not have the antibodies to protect themselves. Due to the Jesuits lack of knowledge about the First Nations, it seems as if their documents are considered factual. The documents the Jesuits wrote gives people now insight on why things are the way they are. Could have intentionally left the bad things out. The documents may be biased because these documents are being sent back to France to produce funds for their mission in New France. They were simply trying to get more money and people to New France and so they decided to inflate what they

  • Egypt before Imperialism

    892 Words  | 2 Pages

    Egypt has one of the longest histories of any nation in the world. Written history of Egypt dates back to about 5,000 years, the commencement of civilization. While there is divergence in relation to Early Egyptian times, it is said that Egypt came to be around 3200 B.C., during the reign of a king by the name of Menes and unified the northern and southern cities of Egypt into one government. In 1675 B.C., Egypt was invaded by the Hyksos, people from the east, bringing along the very first of chariots and horses ever to come across Egyptian soil. Approximately 175 years later in 1500 B.C., the Egyptians had gotten rid of the Hyksos and driven them out. In 1375 B.C., Amenhotep IV had become the king of Egypt. During his reign he eliminated the worship of Egyptian gods and initiated the idea of only worshipping one god. But after his death, his ideas were retired and old ways were reestablished. Egyptian supremacy then started to decline around 1000 B.C. Between 1000 B.C. and 332 B.C., Egypt was ruled by many such as the Libyans, Assyrians, Ethiopians, and Persians. In 640, Muslims conquered Egypt and founded the city of Cairo in 969 and deemed it as the capital of Egypt. For many centuries Egypt was ruled by Muslim caliphs. A prominent ruler of this period was Saladin, who battled the Christian Crusaders at the conclusion of the twelfth century. In 1798 Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Egypt but was then forced to withdraw in 1801 Turkish and British armed forces. In 1805 Mohamed Ali began ruling Egypt till 1848 and great changed the country in terms of modernization and its military. During Mohamed’s conquest, he borrowed a lot of money from the French and British, which later resulted in Egypt’s coloniza...

  • The Rise And Fall Of Ancient Egypt Chapter 1 Summary

    822 Words  | 2 Pages

    The chapter I choose from the book The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt is chapter 1. The name of the chapter is In The Beginning. The first section is talking about the First King Of Egypt. It opens up talking about the Museum in Cairo which has one of the most important stones in Egypt 's history. It is called the Namar Palette and it marks the very begging of Ancient Egypt 's civilization. They struggled to get through tough layers of clay, but when they discovered the Palette they saw hieroglyphics that spelled out “Nar" “mer” which gives us proof the Narmer is no just an early king, but the first ruler to unit Egypt and he came to power around 2950 marking the first dynasty.

  • Imperialism in Egypt

    724 Words  | 2 Pages

    The country I decided to research is Egypt. Egypt is located in northern Africa along the Mediterranean and Red Seas. The majority of the country however is located in northeastern Africa, but its Sinai Peninsula extends out into Southwest Asia, connecting the two continents. European nations wanted to colonize Egypt because it was considered to be a treasure, due to its fertile land and production of crops, such as: wheat, fruits, vegetables, corn, and cotton. Also because of its strategic location at the head of the Red Sea, that appeared valuable to countries such as Britain and France. Another reason was because they wanted to control Egypt in order to secure the main route to India, Malaya, Australia, New Zealand and to Hong Kong.This route was known as the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal was viewed as the “Lifeline of the Empire” because it allowed quicker access to its colonies in Asia and Africa. It also connected the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, built mainly with French money from private interest groups using Egyptian labor. Egypt was also targeted due to its weak economy and government, making it an easy target to imperialize. Egypt was colonized three times each by different civilizations. It was colonized by the Ottomans in 1517, by the French in 1799, and by the British in 1882. A key person involved in Egypts colonization was Muhammad Ali. After taking power in 1805, he strengthened the army and focused on cultivating the land. He also increased trade with Europe and sent officials to Britain to be educated.

  • The Missionary

    682 Words  | 2 Pages

    Cardinal Altamirano, former Jesuits priest is the Pope’s representative who is send to inspect father Gabriel’s mission (Saeger 394). The Portuguese wanted these mission closed so the Guarani Indians community are no longer protected by the mission. The Pope felt that he may lose Portugal’s support if the mission were not closed. Due to the fear of losing Portugal’s support, the Pope sends Altamirano to convince the Jesuits to close the mission. Altamirano was instructed by the Pope that if the Jesuits were not convinced to close the mission, then Altamirano would have to close the mission himself. This passage shows that the Church is corrupted. Altamirano never came to decide whether or not the mission will remain under the church’s protection. Instead, he came to convince the Jesuits to close the mission. If the mission were to remain under the protection of the Church, then the Guarani Indians community would have been safe from the slave traders. Altamirano visits the great Mission of St Miguel and the Gabriel’s St Carlos Mission. When Altamirano visited St Miguel and the Gabriel’s St Carlos Mission he was amazed at the success in converting the Guarani Indians to Christianity. Even though Altamirano was amazed, he ruled in favor of the colonists in order to protect the Church. However, he knew that he was wrong and should have ruled in favor of the Jesuits (Saeger 405). Altamirano did as he was instructed, there...

  • Imperialism in Egypt

    How did imperialism manage to bring both disaster and success to Egypt? The morals of imperialism are mixed; it all depends on perspective. It brought along famines, heavy taxes, and many others to Egypt. On the other hand, it opened up trade routes from Britain to Asia and India, formed a steady supply of cotton for Britain, etc. (period6-5imperialism10.wikispaces.com, Egypt) In the beginning, Egypt actually tried to modernize itself, as an attempt to ward off European dominance (Modern World History, 354), but debts and other financial problems drove it into Britain’s arms. So how was Egypt affected by this? As a result of imperialism, Egypt received aid on some of the current problems, but were faced with many more new ones.

The combination of the two dynamic kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt played a significant role in shaping Egypt’s impact on the early civilization of mankind.
