When King Henry was crowned the supreme head of the Church of England, Moore refused to recognize his authority. He was executed in 1535. The English people had little sympathy for the situation and the Reformation continued. The English people began to have a radical view and King Henry took control over the Erasmian Humanists. [15] [16] King Henry VIII also reformed the clergy in particular the bishops’ position.
He also made a start on reforming religion; in July 1547 he introduced the Book of Homilies and paraphrases, a religious document that had to be placed in every Church. Then in December 1547 the Act of Six Articles was repealed, this was a document that had re-established Catholic Doctrines. All of these policies were reforming religion and moving towards the Protestant way of running the Church, and Edward hoped that the introduction of Protestant readings, for example Cranmer’s first prayer book in 1548, would lead people to begin to convert to Protestantism. However religious revolution progressed far further under John Dudley the Duke of Northumberland, following Somerset’s fall from power. Despite originally being more conservative himself, and supporting that side of the Privy Council, he understood the need for religious reform under Edward and in 1550 all conservatives and Catholic Bishops, such as Gardiner, were
Gladstone’s main goal was to pacify Ireland and he was the first British politician to tackle the unfair way in which Ireland was run. Firstly the Disestablishment of the Anglican Church in Ireland, removed a major grievance for the Irish people. As only 12% of the population were part of the Anglican Church, yet they still had to pay tariffs towards it, Gladstone felt this was wrong and unacceptable. He felt it was unfair on the people in Ireland, and there was need for action after the Nationalist Fenian activity in 1867. The terms of the Act meant the Church was disestablished and disowned, leaving it to govern itself.
In 1937 the last lxheim congregation merged with a neighboring Mennonite church foreclosing the last reformation. Most Amish communities that were established in North America did not retain their Amish Identity. The major split occurred that resulted in identity loss in 1860.

The French Kings after Louis XIII enjoyed such power until the last half of the 18th century under Louis XVI reign. Although being all powerful in government and having one person making all the rules in the country did have its obvious draw backs at the time. In an absolutist monarchy one of the biggest factors that would ultimately lead to the monarchies reduction in power and eventually the end of the monarchy all together was the economic pressure that this style of government places on society. Louis XIII and Louis XIV failed to get an independent source of revenue to be able to fund the lavish life stlyes that the royal family and the high nobles became accustomed to. Even with the many flaws at this point in European history absolute monarchies were in most of the key countries in Western
What problems faced Elizabeth in 1558? To understand the issues that Elizabeth faced in her reign it is important to look at the problems that preceded her. Historians such as Whitney Jones have written about a mid-Tudor crisis starting for the last years of Henry VIII’s reign and it’s characterised by weak leadership from the monarchs and their courts. Inflation was a serious issue in late Tudor England, triggered by the debasement of the coinage under Henry VIII and Edward VI. It was a period of intense rebellions such as the Wyatt’s rebellion, or factional fighting in court for example; Edward’s court was ridden with the visions of the dukes of Northumberland (John Dudley) and Somerset (Edward Seymour).
Jonathon Edward’s “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” Starting in the mid-18th century, the people of Enfield, Connecticut began to lose their beliefs in Christianity. One man named, Jonathan Edwards, took it upon himself to preach to his congregation of sin and hell. In the hope of reviving their many other beliefs in Christianity, scholars refer to this time or even in early American history as “The Great Awakening”. One of Edwards’ sermons was called, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”. The sermon explains in detail of the wrath God has and what Hell has in store for the non-believers.
Skylar Marino Mr. Hoffman The American and French Revolution The American and French revolutions were both a great but scary time in France and in America’s history. There were many similar reasons of why these two countries went into Revolution, such as a lack in no taxation without representation, and Enlightenment.

Revolutionary War (1775–83): Causes The roots of the Revolutionary War ran deep in the structure of the British empire, an entity transformed, like the British state itself, by the Anglo‐French wars of the eighteenth century. After the fourth of these conflicts, the Seven Years' (or French and Indian) War, the British government tried to reform the now greatly expanded empire. The American colonists resisted, creating a series of crises that culminated in the armed rebellion of 1775. The Imperial Background. With the Glorious Revolution (1688), England's foreign policy took the anti‐French path it followed until 1815—a path that led to four wars before 1775.
