Frederick William shared this view and was unwilling to potentially cause a war with such a powerful state. This caused the Frankfurt Parliament to fail because Prussia did not grasp the opportunity to unite and neither did the King, therefore Germany remained divided. Although he desired power, William IV was not willing to put himself and Prussia under control of the Frankfurt Parliament as he distrusted ‘the gentlemen of Frankfurt’. This meant that the Parliament had no real leader, and so lost support because people distrusted the parliament as an influential figure stated he would not be associated with them. This aided in causing the failure of the Parliament because with no real leader, no one could influence the masses or help to make decisions.
This is another point towards poor leadership because there was no clear plan in how they were going to get their terms accepted only what terms they wanted. Another reason the rebellion failed was due to the lack of passion in the rebels. Not everyone knew what they were rebelling for which meant that they wouldn’t fight passionately for what they believed in. There was also a lack of focus because not everyone was fighting for the same cause. Some people were fighting because of the monasteries being dissolved and others were fighting because of rack-renting.
This basic form of opposition was never truly effective as their actions were simply put down by the government partly due to their failure to unite and lack of ideology and political demands. This was, however, not the only internal opposition to Tsar Alexander II with the “Going to the People” movement emerging in 1874. Here young members of the Russia intelligentsia went to the peasants breaching to them about their ideas about how life should be lived. This proved unsuccessful, they failed to appeal to the peasantry and the regime managed to arrest members showing them to be ineffective at this point. However, the populist movement developed from here, eventually splitting into two groups; the Black Partition and the People’s Will.
Furthermore, Congress was disappointed in the fact that Wilson left some important things in order to compromise with the other countries. Many people believed the League of Nations was completely unnecessary for the US, since it mostly dealt with issues not concerning the US. They did not want to get involved with future European affairs. However, Wilson believed that the only way to prevent future wars was to establish the League of Nations. Wilson’s rock solid position on the League of Nations was one of the most significant reasons why the treaty was never passed.
There are both reasons why the United States should have, and reasons why they should not have entered the war. The United States were ultimately wrong in entering World War I. It was a mistake in many ways such as: the deaths of many Americans; the fact that it was not our war to fight; it was not necessary for our entrance; and it was simply “useful” for the economy. The first World War was not our war to fight, and the nation should not have engaged in the battle. The primary reasoning behind this statement is the Monroe Doctrine.
The only reason the military was too large and unsupported was because many of the taxpayers died of the plague. The German barbarians, which were the ones that eventually burned Rome to the ground, didn’t support brothels, public baths, and drank ale made with boiled water. They also lived in more spread out housing This would have made them far less susceptible to plague. When they invaded Rome, they would have been far stronger, whereas the Romans would be weak and small, ripe for the picking. Even though the Gothic tribes were mistreated, doesn’t meant they would have rebelled enough to cause the Fall of Rome.
Hitler got away with this because Britain had sympathy for Germany and in 1935 signed a naval agreement with them. France was angry that Germany was re-army but there was little they could do as most countries were doing the same, especially after the disappointment of the Disarmament conference.. The failure of the League of Nations in the 1930s also contributed towards the outbreak of war. It was powerless throughout the 1920s as it was more interested in trying to keep good relations with the other countries so it would have allies against Hitler if he ever attacked. The League also didn’t work because America didn’t join and it was the American President Woodrow Wilson who created it and it would never have worked unless all the nations were allowed to join.
Tone had already come to realise that the demand for parliamentary reform without the granting of civil liberties to Catholics was meaningless, and he was disgusted by the failure of the Volunteers to take up the cause of Catholic emancipation. Wolfe Tone wanted the people of Ireland to show a united front. He wanted to put an end to the tyranny which was the ruling of England. Resolutions were put forward at the Belfast Volunteer Bastille celebrations on the 14th July by Tone. There were 3 resolutions put forward and the third one which was in relation to including Catholics in reform that was achieved was defeated.
Nagumo was not particularly thrilled about the idea of attacking Pearl Harbour, especially considering his inexperience with airborne operations.Nonetheless, he was put in command of the First Air Fleet. This was a failure in two ways; the war coordinator did not go to war and an inexperienced, hesitant, substitute took his place. It is noted that Nagumo conceivably withdrew from the attack too early, or earlier than Yamamoto would have. There were still carriers that had not been hit and America had not been immobilized enough to stop a counter attack. Yamamoto’s leniency in giving Nagumo authority to make crucial decisions was not a good idea.
There was no one to replace Hitler if he was overthrown and it would probably cause mayhem trying to replace him or reinstate the previous form of parliament. The opposition from the disbanded left wing parties was unsuccessful as neither party trusted each other and did not work together to achieve their full potential. As each party wouldn’t work together they worked separately and worked underground achieving very little. Trade unions were also banned in 1933. Hitler had stopped any organisation with enough man power or resources to possibly overthrow him before the end of his first year in
