The way that they could have done this is by giving fair taxes and giving people the freedom of opinion and speech. (Give examples) Counter Argument: ----- Argument: Louis XIV summoned Estates General because he wanted to slow down the French Revolution. Louis XIV tried to stop the French Revolution but failed because he hasn’t paid much attention to how to rule a country. Louis XIV thought that he understood finance but he didn’t understand them at all. (William Doyle) After some time he realized that he wasn’t going to get anywhere with this, so he changed his plan to staying alive.
He even underwent military training and he struggled. He wanted to prove that he was capable of joining war without being distinguished with his father. For me, he did not wanted to be the influential father that he has but he really wanted to show love for his country. This shows patriotism. When Jack died from the Battle of Loos, Rudyard, his
The reason why the League of Nations was idealistic was because Britain and France would be forced to accept Germany’s induction. Britain and France would be the last countries to come to Germany’s aid after the war and now Wilson was asking them, in a way, to simply forgive and forget. Actions such as these have caused historians to debate whether the TOV was killed because Wilson was a man too ahead of his time, and his Fourteen Points were to idealistic for the other World Powers to accept, or it was Wilson himself that prevented the Treaty from being truly effective in preventing future wars because of his unwillingness to yield to even a single compromise. Wilson was indeed a visionary idealist, made evident by his assumption that nations had the ability to simply get along after the war. He saw the best in men, mostly due to his inexperience with foreign affairs and the fact that he was a progressive.
The North with all the industrial business had a total different way of life and can see how they totally disagreed with the way slaves were being used and treated. As said in political objective section Lincoln wanted a military victory prior to announcing the emancipation proclamation because he knew it would cause many more problems. Lincoln’s impatience and no military experience did render him from making better decisions which could have ended the war earlier and with less deaths and injuries. With the north controlling most of the railroads and weapons they had a huge advantage over the south, if he could have been a little more patient and trained his men properly could also have ended this much earlier. With the number of personnel the rebels had vs union was little to none, they held off the north by smart tactics of well-trained officers.
He is supposed to have the most control, able to keep his people in line however due to his state he was not able to accomplish any of these necessary attributions of a king, therefore this would help contribute to the civil war outbreak, as a weak character in the position of a king isn’t good. In addition, Henry had a trait of having favorites among his nobility. This is shown by he gave out patronage to his favorites, Somerset and Suffolk, they were also made dukes in 1448. This would cause problems inside his nobility. Dukes were usually direct relatives of the king, however Suffolk and Somerset were not, where as Richard of York was.
Some historians can argue that Napoleon gained his success from the slow progression of other nation’s armies through the modernization of warfare. Author and historian Robert Epstein writes that the dynamics of war changed between France and Austria when the Austrians adopted Napoleon’s corps system. However, the fact of the matter was that before 1807, Napoleon was better at overcoming his enemy: he could make quick decisions that proved crucial to his victories. He first demonstrated this during a revolution in 1793 in Toulon. This city in southern France rebelled by opening ports to Britain, and Napoleon quickly developed a plan to rid France of the English ships and their soldiers.
I don’t think the play was written to show how King Henry V was a fanatic about going to war with other countries, but I think that it was also wrote to show how understanding he could be about war. I think the only reason that King Henry V won the Battle of Agincourt was because the French gave him a reason to believe that him and his men could overcome them and they did. King Henry V had so much confidence in himself and his men that they won the battle although the number where very different. Henry wanted to take over France and he knew that if he wanted to do that he would no doubt have to go to war with them. In the beginning of the play King Henry is having a meeting with his counsel; some French ambassadors arrive with a sort of gift for Henry from The Dauphin.
Unfortunately for Lopez he did not realize that his actions would eventually become a military issue for him and that snubbing the Argentinean president’s daughter was actually a serious diplomatic mistake with his more powerful neighbors to the south. Despite his father’s warnings, Francisco continued to act on his own accord. Before his passing, Francisco’s father, the President of Paraguay at the time, told him that because Paraguay was so small that he could only settle disputes
Another Major flaw was that “the country, whose president, Woodrow Wilson, had dreamt up the idea of the League - America -, refused to join it.” The league’s most powerful militaries Britain and France not only suffered casualties, but also economically as they were greatly in debt to the United States. Because of this neither country was enthusiastic to get involved in disputes that did not affect Western Europe. Therefore the League had no military might and could only enforce economic sanctions in hope that they worked against aggressive nations. All these flaws point to signs that the League of Nations was a failure. However, even though there were a few setbacks, the league was a success in many ways.
Britain and France showed no resistance due to the appeasement policy followed by the countries’ governments. Britain had several reasons for not opposing the remilitarization such as it believed the treaty had been harsh on Germany. It also believed that the people would not support another war and it was not prepared for an offensive. Britain worried that if its attention was diverted to another war, it would not be able to control its widespread empire and thus lose colonies. France did not support the remilitarization but could not react as, it could not predict the strength of the German army and it knew that nor Britain nor USA would go to war.
