He was just as unsuccessful and by the time of the October election of 1964 Britain was in debt to the tune of £750 million. A second main reason for Labour’s victory was that the Conservative party leadership was in disarray after the resignation in October 1963 of Harold ‘Supermac’ Macmillan. Macmillan had been
Two Forced Loans (parliamentary grants) where used for Henry’s second French War in 1522 and 1523 which raised £250,000. His Act of Resumption 1515 by claiming back royal lands given away in earlier reigns increased royal revenue. Wolsey was extremely successful in the area’s that where more important to Henry. On the other hand, some his greatest failures were acknowledged in this area, gaining him powerful enemies among the landowners and in Parliament. He conveyed poor management in achieving difficult tasks like in the anticlerical parliament of 1515 and had to settle for only half of what he had demanded in the Forced Loan standoff of 1523 as people resented the request and refused
Who or what do you believe should bear Primary responsibility for the outbreak of war in 1914. The World War 1 or the Great War was regarded as the sixth deadliest conflict in history of the world, with all the great powers around the world assembling into two different factions: the allies (based on the ‘Triple Entente’ which consisted of the United kingdom, France and Russia) and the central powers (originally centered around the triple alliance of Germany, Austro-Hungary and Italy but since the Austro-Hungarian empire took the offensive side, Italy did not join them but instead helped the allies in 1916). With more than 70 million combatants mobilized of whom 60 million were European and casualties over 9 million, the culprit of this Great War cannot be hidden. Was it the assassination of the Archduke of Franz Ferdinand? Or was it really the longed wish for the Hungarian empire to act against Serbia and resolve the ‘Slavic problem’?
By placing high taxes on imported luxury goods, he inadvertently encouraged smuggling. Philip's monstrous palace and monastery at Escorial had consumed much of Spanish wealth.” (http://www.hyperhistory.net/apwh/bios/b2philip2-spain.htm). Clearly states that Philip II did not value his money at all. He owed 36 million ducats with an annual deficit of 1 million ducats; this was because of his recklessness with money and because of all the money he wasted on wars. Aside from reducing state revenues for overseas expeditions, the domestic policies of Philip II further burdened Spain and would in the following century, contribute to its decline.
The Conservative Party dominated the National Government. 15.

But was this really a success that the Liberals stayed in power? After the Liberal landslide in 1906 the Conservatives were weak and powerless in the House of Commons, with little than a quarter seats. Therefore Balfour and Lord Lansdowne decided to use their permanent Conservative majority in the House of Lords to block new policies of the Liberal Government. The Lords vetoed their first budget in November 1909 on Lloyd George’s Peoples Budget. The Liberals needed to find £15million of extra revenue to provide for the new social services and for the construction of naval warships.
However the monasteries had money in abundance, both in terms of currency and in land. One conclusion is therefore, is that Henry dissolved the monasteries in order to tap their wealth. However, there are also other possible reasons that I believe influenced Henry’s decision to dissolve the greater monasteries. There are also suggestions that Henry believed the dissolution of the monasteries was necessary because the Church and the clerical order as a whole was becoming increasingly corrupt. The three sources also mostly agree with the view that the dissolution of larger monasteries was largely driven by financial motives.
By 1915-1916 the majority of the Labour Party supported the war and Henderson. During the war the Labour Party helped keep unions and workers focused on the needs of production to support the war effort. By the end of the war it was obvious how much of an impact the Labour Party had made on encouraging the war effort. Labour joined a coalition with the Liberals during this period, with Henderson as the first Labour MP in cabinet ever. The result election in December 1923 showed that no party had an overall majority and that theoretically, due to his key role, Asquith could join up with either Labour or Conservative.
Many people believed him and gave him a lot of money, but he spent almost all the money for himself. He couldn’t pay back the money to some people. While he was taking money from the people, he collected more then 64 billion dollars from them, and when people tried to see their investments, he used a fake screen computer with ponzie scheme software to present a false investment. This way is similar to Tom’s investment in that, they both were greedy, and acted like friends to people, and made them think that they would become rich. On the other hand, there were many differences between Tom and Bernie.
How effectively did the liberal government of 1906-1914 deal with the problem of poverty in Britain?
