Towards the end of the war, Martin becomes very spiteful towards the government’s treatment of him and his former comrades. Overall, Martin does a respectable job of informing the public on how the Revolutionary soldier’s life during the war was and how difficult their life was. Even though Martin was not the most decorated soldier, his efforts should be valued. Martin participated in very prominent battles (the Battle of Bunker Hill, Siege of Yorktown, and the Battle of Red Bank), and describes the Battle of Red Bank. Martin declares, “Five Hundred men defeated two thousand of the enemy, killed and wounded a large number, and mortally wounded and took prisoner their
Source 2 agrees that he had a lot of power of the nobility as he ‘shakes them by the ear’ this quote show that Skelton was taking the mick out of the nobility for not standing up to Wolsey which shows the amount of power he had over them but also that the nobles did actually fear Wolsey. This therefore lowered his popularity as he was inconsiderate and treated the nobles crudely. Source 1 and 2 also agree that Wolsey saw himself as king. In source 1 it states ‘he
If John Smith had already accounted false information, who knows what else he had lied about? Smith’s dishonesty besmirched the credibility of his writings. An effective leader is one that teaches the people how to successfully lead themselves, even when their leader is away. Obviously, John Smith did not accomplish this, therefore having his colony plummet into complete bedlam under his absence. William Bradford possessed superb leaderships skills and proved to be far more effective in driving his colony to success, compared to John Smith.
These overmighty nobles especially demonstrate how one of Edward’s weaknesses could lead to usurpation. There were also deep divisions within the Yorkist nobility, made worse as the power of the Woodvilles increased, which led to conflict, particularly between the two aforementioned nobles. The Herbert family was forced to give the
Since 9-11, Sikh men with turbans have had a bad time with discrimination. They have been falsely accused of being terrorists. The number of people dying because of terrorism is nothing compared to the numbers dying of poverty; malnutrition; child abuse, drunk driving, smoking, alcoholism, drugs, and even being terribly overweight, yet the propaganda is that terrorism is the biggest evil that this world has ever seen. This is particularly hurtful not only to innocent Muslims, but to my people, the Sikhs, because of the turbans and long beards of male Sikhs. Sikhs have respect for Islam, the faith of the Muslims and we are often mistaken for Muslims, but we are a very different
Certainly these changes were massive, quite abrupt and differed drastically from the norm; however that does not necessarily make them bad. Except, that is how they are viewed by many historians today. The historian N.Reeves believes Akhenaten was unsuccessful, but more in his religion reforms. 'For ordinary folk, there is little doubt that Akhenaten's actions as king over time inflicted the greatest misery: the people were confused by the man's religious vision, frightened by the ruthless manner in which it was imposed and quite likely appalled by his personal behaviour.' Reeves believe that the changes would have confusing and scary for the common people.
How successfully did Alexander II deal with the opposition he faced, 1855-1881? Alexander II had opposition during the years 1855-1881 as his reforms had raised hope of the intelligentsia, who wanted further modernisation specifically a constitution and as he failed to deliver they were all disillusioned and angry. Secondly he abandoned his reforms in 1866 which led to more extreme opposition. I feel Alexander II was successful in dealing with opposition as he had support from the serfs which I feel was the most successful way to deal with opposition. The emancipation of the serfs appeared to have strengthened the loyalty of most peasants to the tsarist regime leading the peasants to greet the Populists with hostility due to their loyalty to the tsar.
There army was so vast it literally shook the ground. I gazed upon them still marching directly at us. “There’s too many,” one man shouted, I looked around my group as I saw the same fear that I had when I first went into battle. It was clear to me that these men haven’t been in a single battle yet; as they were about to be in what looked to me the biggest battle in the war. Our cannons continued to rip through chunks of the enemy’s line as they soon came into rifle range.
Indicate the additional steps taken by Alexander in 1880 to win liberal support. What changes took place under his successor? The revolutionaries were not pleased with the reforms, which if successful would merely strengthen the existing order. Dissatisfied intelligentsia in the 18602 began to call themselves "nihilists": they beleived in "nothing"--except science--and took a cynical view of the reforming tsar and him zemstvos. The peasants, saddled with heavy redemption payments, remained basically unsatisfied, and intellectuals toured the villaged fanning this discontent.
According to few Hellenes, people who had the evil or had injured the empire by private actions have no nobler cause in terms of their deed to fight for the country. They were dishonored because of their bad fame. Thucydides persuaded by point out that all the citizens knew the advantages of a brave defense. On the battlefield, they became glorified because of their fearless spirit and ran away from the word of dishonor. The speaker also interpreted the word of dishonor by comparing the contribution which the dead made and the evil they did.
