Sources 1 and 2 also present the idea that Scotland was a major threat, but Source 3 presents the idea that Scotland only posed a minor threat. All of the sources vary in terms of how much of a threat Scotland was when compared with Henry’s interests in French territory. Source 1 states that Scotland must be dealt with before Henry leaves for France, because Henry was “about to leave for France” (1) when he learned that the Scottish King James had suspicious intentions of invading England whilst Henry was away. Therefore, Henry’s foreign ambitions were at risk. However, it also states that Henry was concerned with risings in Yorkshire and Country Durham, which is where the Pilgrimage of Grace originated from.
This made it difficult for the country to recover after the wars. [11] In 1803, Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours, a French nobleman, began to help negotiate with France at the request of Jefferson. Du Pont was living in the United States at the time and had close ties to Jefferson as well as the prominent politicians in France. He engaged in back-channel diplomacy with Napoleon on Jefferson's behalf during a visit to France and originated the idea of the much larger Louisiana Purchase as a way to defuse potential conflict between the United States and Napoleon over North
Nicholas II had tried his best to regain people’s support and stop the revolution tide through the reforms after the 1905 Revolution. After the 1905 Revolution, the Tsar still had to face the above problems. In order to prolong his rule, he was forced to reform Russia. At first, he agreed to set up parliament, Duma.

Henry had little available soldiers in England due to the Wars of the Roses, or the necessary financial resources to fund such a campaign. Instead it seemed more appropriate for him to work on constructing links between his country and other he deemed as good partners for England. An example of one of these links created by Henry was the Medina del Campo, an allegiance with Spain uniting the nations against the possible French threat. The treaty was first negotiated in 1489, with the arranged marriage of Henry’s son, Arthur, and Catherine of Aragon of Spain, cementing the deal. Another example was Henry’s immediate truce with Scotland in 1486, when a three year peace treaty was signed, which was only eventually ended due to the death of James III in 1488 and his successor, the 15 year old James IV, whose anti-Anglo attitude disrupted any potential amnesty between the states until 1497 when the treaty of Ayton was signed.
Mr. Dunbar AP European History Chapter 20: The Conservative Order and the Challenges of Reform Outline Chapter Overview • The Congress of Vienna—which effectively ended the Napoleonic Era—was followed by a decade in which conservative political forces controlled virtually all of Europe. • Goal of the new system of balance of power was to maintain peace and prevent war • Major powers in Europe sought to maintain the authority of monarchies and aristocracies after the turmoil of the French Revolution and Napoleon • Differing views on the demarcation of national borders o Nationalists wanted borders drawn according to boundaries of ethnicity or nationalities. o Liberals sought moderate political reform and freer economic markets ▪ French Revolution in 1830 and a sweeping reform bill passed through Parliament were victories for European liberals o Conservatives wanted to preserve the traditional order and dominated much of the first half of the nineteenth century. ▪ Russia and eastern Europe continued to resist political and social change Section One: The Challenges of Nationalism and Liberalism • Section Overview o Historians often refer to the nineteenth century as the great age of “…isms” that includes nationalism, liberalism, republicanism, socialism, and communism. • The Emergence of Nationalism o Nationalism ▪ Definition—as a political outlook, nationalism is the relatively modern concept that a nation is composed of people who are joined together by the bonds of a common language, as well as common customs, culture, and history, and who, because of these bonds, should be administered by the same government.
Peter the Great helped shape the previously unsuccessful nation of Russia into an active European political power by following the examples set by Western European powers at the time. Before the 17th Century Russia was only considered a part of Europe out of courtesy. Geographically and politically, it lay on the periphery. Fortunately for Russia, that all changed when Peter the Great came to power. To do this he set out to accomplish certain general goals for the country which included: reorganizing the administration, developing the economy, building a strong military, and quashing the potential independence of the nobles, guard, and church.

Woodrow Wilson came to Paris bringing with him a peace program, which was about his moral, idealistic notion of a new world order. His idea was to link the instrument of surrender for the Germans to the creation of the League of Nations. On the way to Paris, Wilson went to England, where he spoke about how he wished to overthrow the old diplomatic system, which had led to the escalation of the war even before he had made his "Fourteen Points" speech in January 1918. When the US first entered the Great War, the President wanted that there be “peace without victory” and his Fourteen Points outlined a proposed arrangement that altered diplomatic relationships to such an extent that future wars could be prevented. Wilson could clearly see that the conclusion of the Great War was an opportunity for him to advance his progressive policies.
Matthew Taft Essay 1 1-31-12 World Civ. 2 The French Revolution and the Occupy Wall Street/Occupy Nashville movements have certain similar characteristics. Both are movements to bring about an end to the current government, and replace it with a new system. The French Revolution was mainly fought by the Third Estate people, who were the commoners. The First and Second Estates were the Aristocracy and the Clergy who were satisfied with the way things were.
The treaty demanded that Germany, Austria, and Hungary accept responsibility for causing the war. Under the treaty’s provisions they were to repay heavy reparations to certain countries, disarm their armies, and concede territorial claims. The treaty however, did not pacify Germany as it was thought to do. The treaty inevitably leads into WWII. Along with the treaty America, Britain, and France tried to put into place Wilson’s 14 point system.
