Mercantilism

Mercantilism was a sort of government when the English were conquering the Americas. The State had control over human behaviour. They had a shared economic philosophy. The main purpose was to accumulate wealth for the European colonies. Spain and Portugal had strict control over the inhabitants but the English had looser boundaries. In 1650, the English established laws of trade known as Navigation Acts. This would limit the trade back and forth to Britain only.

Migration in and out of Morocco

New neighbours, new neighbourhoods. Ever wonder why people move from place to place and live in different locations? Well, the main reasons why people migrate away from Morocco is to continue their business elsewhere depending on what their job is. Some people migrate to Europe or the Americas to find a job. Others simply like to have a little change of climate for a few years. The young ones who move here probably just found a suitable school for themselves and decided to continue their education elsewhere.
People move into Morocco for the hot weather, beaches, and calm non-polluted society ( except for Casablanca). Maybe handling trading services for various companies or long-term assignments which can only be completed in Morocco. People may also come here to retire and live in the suburban areas.

Good Reasons for Blogging

Why do people blog? Increased motivation for reading and writing is one of the reasons, and since blogging is so fun, everyone gets caught up in making their blog posts or reading other peoples blogs. It also provides freedom of speech and allows people to express their ideas and themselves in whatever way they want. Another good thing is, blogging students are learning without knowing it.

Colonization in Morocco

Morocco's colonization came in a bit too rough. In the late 1900s, southern Morocco was conquered by the french, and northern Morocco by the Spanish. The country was unable to act because they had economic difficulties to deal with. The flood of european products in the marketplace was one factor of those difficulties. The sultan's brother, revolted against the government. 1909, the sultan's brother was succesful, but their problems were far from over. The spanish troops began making their way into morocco.

Why Study History?

Alot of people ask that question don't they? Are you looking for a good reply? You've come to the right place! History, what if people didn't learn from their past? Would we still be silly cavemen living in caves and huts? We would be repeating the same mistakes our ancestors did, we would also lose alot of knowledge about evolution if out ancestors haven't drawn them, wrote about them (in their own WIERD language). We would never know how the earlier species acted, what they ate, what was needed to do to calm them down. The worst part is: the people who's ancestors migrated from one land to another so many years ago would never discover their origin unless it was recorded. One way history helped me was that it opened my eyes to how cruel Christopher Columbus really was and what he did to the native americans who lived there. I would have been supporting a corrupt person. Thanks for reading :D. Peace out

About Me


Heya people, this is a little paragraph about myself and if you (by any chance) want to know more, just ask me stuff! :D. Let's see here.... my favorite color is crimson, my favorite car is the Ford Mustang, and my favorite band is Linkin Park. I'm not a very active person and i enjoy taking it easy (chillax as some of you might say). My main priority is to listen to music for at LEAST 3 hrs everyday. I love being sarcastic when I get the chance and you'll probably be annoyed by it but guess what? You gotta live with it. Hmm.... I guess thats about it, I'm just gonna finish up this post and go get som Z's. Peace out.

Hobbies


I'm a very laid back type of person and mostly enjoy reading, playing games, and hangin out with my friends at school, public areas and at home. One thing I do think is my hobby would be photography, I do try to take some fascinating pictures of certain environments, but to be honest I think i'm failing at it. Some mountains, rivers and forests can be an inspiration.
My favorite sports would be badminton and soccer (only recently has it become one of my favorites), although I don't play them too much. Well, that's about it. Peace out.
