The Emperor rebuts King George’s approach with simple logic, saying “Peking is nearly two thousand miles from Canton, and at such a distance what possible control could any British representative exercise?” By slaying British attempts to justify penetration into China, Qian Long embodies power and prejudice while secluding his peoples and culture.

The second outcome of the revolutions was that the countries were dramatically changed, two great powers were stopped and communist leaders eventually took over in the two countries. Russia and China both shared similar goals in that they both wanted a new form of government and leadership. Russia’s ruler was Tsar Nicholas II which ruled Russia for more than three centuries. China’s ruling dynasty was the Qing Dynasty. Tsar Nicholas II wasn’t much of a good ruler for Russia; he ignored the fact that Russia wasn’t doing so good and overlooked the industrialization and nationalism that was occurring throughout Russia.
Throughout history their have been many different ways in which people want their societies and and empires ruled. In document "Sima Qian: The First Emperor" The chief minister Wang Wan states "The states are newly defeated and the terrotories of the Yan, Qi, and the Chu are distant, so if we do not establish kings for them there will be no means of bringing order to them. We beg to set up your sons in authority, but it is up to the supreme one alone ti favour us with this agreement. "Meaning that now that their are new terrotories that have been defeated and taken over such as the Yan, Qi, and Chu, they should now assign each terrotory with a king or leader to put order and prevent problems. The only worry now is if the "supreme one" agrees with this request for he is the emperor and the one that makes the final decision (Sima Qian: The First Emperor).
Qin Shihuangdi (ruled 221-210 BCE) was one of the rulers from the various states that had successfully reunified China. He used his developed effective bureaucracy and launched military campaigns to defeat the other warring states. He adopted a political philosophy called Legalism that had pessimistic views on human nature, and subordinated the aristocrats who disliked his centralized policies, whereas the Han dynasty later had more of a Confucian Theme in their governing philosophy. He was strict and once put 460 scholars to death as a warning for those who oppose him. He led some contributions to innovation by standardizing weights, measurement and currency, equipping his armies with iron weapons and had agricultural systems that enforce growth in populations.
Henry had done this so he could abolish the Council Learned in Law, meaning that he could cancel 175 bonds his father had put in place with his Nobles. This made Henry extremely popular; a big difference from his father, and also meant that he could have rich Nobles, leading to a powerful army and glorious court. This first aim set the trend that showed how Henry would have a very different reign from his father. In June 1509 Henry married
In 1925, after Sun Yat-sen’s death, Chiang Kai-shek took over the nationalist and realized the communist were getting stronger. He thought with his followers that the communist would take their power and wealth. In 1927, the warlord era ended, and Chiang turned his back on the communist. Many communist leaders were killed and imprisoned. Mao Zedong escaped imprisonment and helps rebuild a stronger communist party in China.
If they do not succeed, England could be seen as an “implacable enemy”, which will lead to complete loss of the colonies and a degradation of the splendor that is Great Britain. Lord North, however, finishes the debate by stating that the current policy will show that England means business, and will aim to punish, but will readily forgive so as to maintain a relationship with the colonies. The first battle described in 1776 is Washington’s siege of Boston and the resulting retreat of the British army. Here, the British find themselves in an indefensible area because of a bottleneck created by Dorchester Peninsula, where the American military is stationed. As soon as the British evacuate, Washington moves to the defense of New York.

The improvements that the French army had made during the reign of Charles V and thus, the subsequent similarities that had arisen between the two countries' armies, disappeared. Though the English were far outnumbered, they wrought a startling defeat over the French. Their defeat caused Charles VI to sign the Treaty of Troyes with the English in 1420. It ensured that upon his death, the rule of France would be handed over to Henry V. The treaty was complicated, however, when both Charles VI and Henry V died two years later. The kingship of both countries was given to Henry V's infant son.
