Sources U and V suggest that the Pilgrimage of Grace was a serious threat, however source T does not. Source U says that “all the nobility of the duchy of York have risen”. This shows that the Pilgrimage of Grace consisted of different social groups, such as nobility to even the peasants. This tells us that everyone had a reason to rebel against Henry, and this can be supported even further by the fact that it is mentioned, “their number will probably grow every day”, showing that more people were joining the cause and that it was quite popular. This was a major threat to Henry especially since the rebels already numbered “40000 combatants and among them 10000 horses”.
After reading three different articles on King Philip’s War, including a Wikipedia article, the articles were all comparable for the most part. All of the articles described why the tensions between the colonists and the Indians began. The tensions began because of the Wampanoag’s dependence upon English manufactured goods that led to increased land sales. The increased land sales created tension and resentment among the Indians toward the colonists.2 The articles showed the two parties battling each other with heavy colonial causalities at the beginning of the war. As the war progressed, the articles agree that the colonists used their sea power and trading power among other towns to wear down the Indians and win the war.

The US-Mexico war of 1848 was America’s first true war that was fought on foreign territory, involving long supply lines, multiple armies, large scale amphibious landings and occupation of a foreign capital. The war’s outcome had a sizeable impact on the events that followed. Vast new territories were seized by the Americans in the Treaty of Guadalupe which was signed following the American victory. The United States acquired more than 500,000 square miles of new territory that eventually became modern day California, Texas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. This was an incredible sized chunk of land that the United States now owned, and eventually states would be formed from this seized territory.
Their stealing of livestock from Spanish and American settlers, as well as the other Plains tribes, often led to war. The Comanche also had access to vast numbers of feral horses, which numbered approximately 2,000,000 in and around Comancheria. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the Comanche lifestyle required about one horse per person. With a population of about 30,000 to 40,000 and in possession of herds many times that number, the Comanche had a surplus of about 90,000 to 120,000
For example the Triple alliance was made up of the central powers which where Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. In response the triple Entente was formed, made up of the Allies which where France, Russia and Great Britain (Doc A). The triple Entente had been rapidly increasing their armed forces spending in total over 200 million pounds which is roughly 350 million dollars (Doc C), this made Germany and its allies even more paranoid in fear of being attacked beginning an arms race (OI). Militarism also played a vital role in the amount of confidence a nation had, countries would spend vast amounts of money on their military forces to intimidate their enemies to avoid being dominated because when weaker nations heard about the large scale of funds being spent to better their enemies army it intimidated them. All these tensions in Europe between very powerful nations led up to WW1.
(Herald Sun, 2013) Many thoroughbreds are killed that are no longer required and cannot be given to other people as “hacks.” Some of these horses are given a second chance as jumps horses. If jumps’ racing was not opportunity for these, there would be a likely increase in the number of horses being disposed of (Biggs, 2014.) A significant number of old retired jumpers are living a life of luxury (Herald Sun, 2013) These horses are more than likely re-homed at the end of their racing career because they can compete as a show jumper or a three-day eventer says Frances Nelson Q.C, Thoroughbred racing SA chairman (T Habel,

The Native Americans despite having a staggering lead in the number of bodies were spread out among the country. Not only were they spread out they did not have a strong sense of unity among tribes. Native American tribes spent just as much time fighting themselves as they did their new common enemy. The Europeans however, had a strong bond and went to battle together they had a common goal and was not afraid to use it against the Native Americans. Advanced weapons and unity can only get you so far; the Europeans had another trick up their sleeves.
