To what extent was Austria responsible for the failure of Italian revolutionaries in the years of 1820-1849? It can be argued that Austria was largely responsible for Italian revolutions failing between the years of 1820-1849. They were a dominant force within Italy and would not allow themselves to be overthrown. However it is clear that other factors also had a significant impact over the failure of Italian revolutionaries, such as the fragmentation within Italy at the time, the misguidance of the revolts, the Pope was withdrawing his support of the revolts and their figurehead Mazzini being in exile. Revolutions between 1820-1821, 1831-1832 and 1948-1949 were all ultimately overthrown to some extent by Austrian force.
Italy was defeated at Caporetto in 1917 but rallied to win the battle of Vittorio Veneto in 1918. Some 600,00 Italians died. Prominent in the war were the arditi - groups of commandos who found it especially difficult to settle down afterwards. At the Treaty of St Germain in 1919 the Italian leader Orlando did not receive what had been promised and many Italians felt humiliated as their country was left out of the big three. In March 1919 Benito Mussolini an ex-socialist journalist formed the Fascist party.
However there was a call for unification guided by liberal constitution although it was a slow progress through many years. It could be argued that Mazzini’s ideas were the main reason for the slow progress of national unity in Italy in the years 1815-48. By 1848 Italy was still not unified although many had tried to achieve this such as Mazzini, a dedicated revolutionary. He wanted a strong central government and believed this could be achieved through a series of revolutions. Although he wanted a democratic unified government, many of his ideas were very radical and idealistic.
Despite losing the majority of its stained glass windows, the Amiens Cathedral is widely awarded because of its thirteenth century Gothic style and beauty. Tracing back the origins of the construction and initiation of the Amiens Cathedral are difficult because of terrible fires that damaged the chapter archives in 1218 and another in 1258 that also damaged the cathedral itself. The aforementioned Bishop Evrard de Fouilly initiated work on the monumental cathedral by hiring the architect Robert de Luzarches in 1220. The famous architect Thomas du Cormont, who continued construction until 1258, followed Luzarches. Thomas’ son, Renaud de Cormont acted as a successor to Thomas, and worked on the cathedral until 1288; however, the chronicle of Corbie credited the completion of the Amiens Cathedral in 1266, and many additions to the cathedral were made years following.
Agent Smith also drives the post-modern view in the film, mentioning that he was sick of the Matrix, an attempt to rebel and tear down the system. Smith knew that the matrix wasn’t going anywhere, that the machines are simply surviving and nothing more, a very post-modern way of thinking. There seem to be a few points of modernism however. Like the joining of the “freed” humans to form Zion and the want to spread the knowledge that you are in fact being fooled by the Matrix. Also Morpheus stands for modernism in his belief in Neo early on and his dream for regaining control of humanity.
Efforts of Bill Baker are imperative to be regarded as he is the one who has taken this building and the profession of engineering to literally new heights. 1. Background Burj Khalifa which is the tallest building of the world was engineered by an American engineer William Frazier Baker who is also known with the name of Bill Baker. Bill Baker was born on October 9, 1953 and now days he is a structural engineer having partnership with Chicago Office of Skidmore Owings and Merrill. Baker has completed his Masters degree from University of Illinois and has joined the field of architecture and engineering by becoming a part of engineering firm of Skidmore.
To what extent had the liberal government created a united Italy by 1900? The liberal government of Italy, founded in 1871 after the unification that made the nation, adopted the task of creating a ‘united’ Italy. The government made certain prosperous changes such as the vast improvements in education and steel production; however there were several matters they had to overcome along the way, including the strong influence from the Pope and the strong North South divide, as well as the fact that the new liberal government was corrupt, these all contributed to Italy being by no means united by 1900. The new Government were condemned from their beginning as The Roman Catholic church had ordered Italians not to vote for the government as it had lost a lot of land during unification; also the Pope refused to recognise the legitimacy of the kingdom of Italy and instructed Italian Catholics to boycott Italian politics. This proved a problem for the newly formed government as Italy was a predominantly Catholic country and many Italians were devoted to the Pope.
‘To what extent do you agree that the nationalist movement was the greatest threat facing the liberal government by 1914?’ By 1914, there were a number of threats to the liberal government. Examples of these are from the PSI (the socialist party), nationalists and the Catholic Church. The reasons why these groups were a threat to the liberal government was in part because of the weaknesses of the liberal government itself, and the poor state of the economy under the liberals. The economy especially led to a lack of Italian identity, with very high levels of emigration (mainly to the USA). These factors led to a fragile liberal government, with the main threat in my opinion being posed not by the nationalists but the socialists.
There were no jobs, poverty was spreading. Moreover, German and Italian nations are considered to be very proud, and the damaged reputation after the war has only increased the instability in those countries. Fascism in Italy has developed earlier than Nazism in Germany, therefore it is often believed that Nazism was to a great extent based on the Italian Fascism. The aim of this essay is to examine the way in which fascism has influenced Nazism by analysing the similarities
It seems like an odd conversation but the men were using whatever they could to get their minds off of the war. “Gentlemen your Verdict” is about a commander in a war who gets placed himself in a tricky situation he has to choose between morals and saving lives. “War” reminds me of while the war was happening, the families are morning their loses and “G.Y.V” is more after the war since it’s a flashback. I compared these because for me they are connected into one story. The two stories were written at different times “War” was based in 1914 but wasn’t published until
