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.
I think that the idea that he does not deserve his reputation is solely for argument, because some people love the feeling of making other people angry. So Alexander made some mistakes and maybe he killed people, just because he had the authority, but no one is perfect and you can’t argue that he does not deserve this title because he made these mistakes. Every human person has made mistakes because no one human has any faults in their history. If you look at other great leaders, they all had a weakness and eventually led to their downfall, but just because they had weaknesses does not mean that they should not be honored for their accomplishments. I think that ‘defaming’ Alexander the Great does not prove the ‘no’ side in any way, because he did many things to help his empire and even though he was the cause of many deaths to the native people of their homelands, he did what he thought was best for his people.
Was the League of Nations a failure? The League of Nations is thought to be a failure by many, because of hard irony and limitation on military might. The League accomplished very little in stopping wars and conflicts while having very little power. Often they just shook fists at ruthless, evil dictators such as Germany’s Adolf Hitler and his conquests, without intervening. 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.
Luck played a big part into how Stalin defeated the left side of the party. Because of Trotsky’s illness he often missed political conventions meaning the he couldn’t get his view across to the general public. This meant that Stalin was a lot more popular than Trotsky. Also the fact that Lenin’s testament wasn’t published played a part in Stalin’s success. In his testament he heavily criticized Stalin; if it was published then it would have damaged Stalin’s popularity.
Eyewitness Report: King Louis and the Guillotine By:Kathie Sahakyan I am a london traveler and my experience in France was horrifying. In my trip I noticed King louis doesn't really care about his country and third class underclassmen.After all the hardship the third estate has finally taken control. The peasants and slaves hated how King louis treated them and it was enough. The First and second estate didn't care even though the third estate was paying taxes which was stabilizing the wealth of the first and second estate.While the unfairness in france was going on the third estate couldn’t take it anymore and took matter into their own hands. They started killing innocent people with the guillotine, which is a faster way to kill people.
First of all we’ll look at Harald Godwinson. He had a strong claim to the throne because he was a blood relative of Edwards. He also had experience of power and he was very popular with the English.

England lost. Money is another reason Charles I was having problems with Parliament. On the coast people had to pay something called ship taxes for the country to build ships etc for war. But Charles was short for money. He introduced this tax to the whole country and misused it by not using it for ship money.
There were many reasons why he failed to satisfy the revolutionaries and it shows why one after the other it led to a disaster. After the constitution was brought in, the changes were bound to come as people wanted certain rights like equality; the people didn't want the monarchy to end but just some changes in it. This new constitution limited and controlled the king's power, which is exactly why the king was not very pleased with, although he was a weak king he still wanted his power, but there was not much he could do about it anymore. So one of the reasons of Louis failing to satisfy revolutionaries can be his weakness, attitude and inefficiency on his decisions. It took 2 years for agreement to be reached on all of the details of the new constitution.
The exact content of King Henry VI’s speech is unknown and the great speech was actually developed by William Shakespeare; thus the speech could’ve been much less motivating as the one written by William Shakespeare. The French were also spiritually motivated as most were certain that they would win. The exploitation of the French weaknesses showed a great military tactics; thus proving it as one of England’s greatest victories, which would cause the French to suffer for decades. The Battle of Agincourt wasn’t a great English victory but an honourless one; more than 1,500 noble prisoners were slaughtered for a false cause. During the battle many French troops died of armour piercing arrows fired from longbow men, these English inventions weren’t really taken into account by the French in that battle and those before as there were not very well known by the French; thus causing great loss of French lives (exploitation of French
Therefore he would not listen to other wise diplomats, such as Talleyrand. His ego and ambition got in the way of common sense and this helped to lead to his downfall and he tried the impossible, like invading Russia. Napoleon's method of enforcing his rule and ideas on all the countries he defeated also helped turn countries against him. This is because they did not always like the French way of living and this caused the people to feel bitter towards Napoleon. There are also a couple of larger factors that led to Napoleon's downfall.
