Ian T. Ashley Reading Summary: The Imperial Presidency Redux Schlesinger argues that perennial threats, real or fabricated, in the field of foreign affairs, have given rise to the Imperial Presidency with the redux being the most recent Bush administration. The author argues that up until the cold war the presidential power cycle occurred normally. During wartime and international conflict presidential power was at its height but after a confict subsides or a war ends presidential power is descreased. The author points out that this cycle was disrupted and changed most notably by the Cold War, saying it “generated a climate of sustained and indefinite crisis”. In addition presidential power was increased again with the ability to wage war being transferred from congress to the presidency.
David Shotter – high praise for Tiberius’ skill as an administrator: “Tiberius’ principate… high standards were sought and generally enforced”. So too is Scullard, who says in his early reign, Tiberius’ “civil administration was, by general consent, excellent”.

Successfully quelled army mutiny on Rhine frontier, however, some difficulties also, as Pamela Bradley notes, in particular – revolt in N. Africa; Pontius Pilate in power in Judea too long (10 uninspiring years). Overall, positive – even Tacitus (generally anti-Tiberius, as a person) is complimentary.
This fosters the fragmentation of society: communities fall apart, there are land disputes left and right, and seeing all of this, Britain begins to take firm control of its empire, passing the Proclamation of 1763. Among of this turmoil, the frontiersmen begin to feel misrepresented in the government. All this agitation breaks out in the delegitimization of the colonial authority, causing everyone to point fingers at Parliament, and more easily, King George III. However, British officials did, or could do, very little to ease the stress present. Another core cause examined is economic expansion.
Atahualpa had 80,000 soldiers while Pizzaro only had 106 foot soldiers and 62 horse men. But like I said Pizzaro had many advantages on his side and one of those was technology. Pizzaro’s technology was far more advanced than Atahualpa. For example, a huge advantage in technology Pizzaro had, were: steel weapons, steel armor, and the use of horses in battle. The fact that Native Americans had never seen such things made them even more vulnerable to victory.

The American Revolutionary War The American victory in the Revolutionary War was a striking demonstration of the solidarity and resolve of American colonists in pursuit of independence from Britain. Despite immense advantages favoring the British army, American colonists were able to defeat their oppressor, the British Crown.
