The citizens’ abhorrence towards the nobility continually elevated as the conditions worsened over time, and eventually, on July 14th, 1789, French citizens grew tired of absolving the nobility. The French Revolution was a dark time in France’s history. The loss and destruction that occurred during the revolution left a permanent mark on the people that called France their home. France, however, did manage to egress from this dark period and live on through present day. After every lingering dark night, the sun must rise once more.
Should the Defeat of the Armada be rewritten? I think the defeat of the armada should be rewritten because when we are told about the battle, the English are very biased on our own side and we only say the story from an English perspective. The Spanish Armada was a large fleet of ships sent to England from Spain in 1588, with the intention of conquering England. In this essay I will explain why the armada happened and why it failed. It was King Philip II that sent the Spanish armada to conquer England.
The impoverished areas of New Orleans suffered the greatest losses because the houses were poorly built and many people were not educated on the danger of the coming storm. Even after the storm passed, any average Joe could walk down the streets of New Orleans, “Past variation after variation on a single theme: upended cars and boats, wrecked houses with roofs smashed in, front walls spray-painted with numbers and dates signifying when the house had been searched and how many dead bodies had been found” (Hertsgaard 130). The most preposterous part of the entire event was the sluggish and
In result of this, this cause loads of deaths. To conclude the actions from the officers were a very important factor in causing a high death toll in World War One. This was mainly down to their naivety, ineptness and how out of touch they really were. There loss of seeing things for how they really were, was another reason why there army lost so many of their men. In some cases it seemed the army were being sent in blind, as the officers refused to change their old fashioned
From the start there was economic instability because of the cost of World War One and there was widespread disillusion within the German people. The public did not support the Weimar, and the administrative branch of the government, including the Judiciary, also teachers did not back it up either. Mass unemployment, damages to the infrastructure also from World War One, and the demand for reparation payments put lots of pressure on the inexperienced democracy. Not only in Germany, but all over Europe, fundamental and anti-democratic movements gained support. 2.
His transfer to Bureau of Topography did not seem to improve the unfortunate series of events befalling him. He tried to transfer to Constantinople to take service under the Ottomans, but failed. France had been beset on all sides, torn by inner turmoil. Napoleon’s name was removed from the list of serving generals , he found himself in money troubles and stooping to an unpopular reputation among the people. This, however, did not seem to dampen his spirit or ambitious energy as in 1795 Napoleon defended government leaders against a Paris insurrection.
Before the PG came into power, the already dire economic, agrarian and social problems were getting worse and worse as the war continued and as a result, the majority of Russians opposed the war effort. This meant that from the beginning of their reign, the PGs decision to carry on with the war made them unpopular as food shortages and the economy got worse and worse. For example, by 1917, the price of bread had doubled while the rations halved from their original figures in 1914. This discontent was proven as early as April the 20th as a riot broke onto the streets demanding that Milyukov, the head of Russian foreign affairs and key war minister, was sacked. This was significant as it meant that in the times of potential danger for the PG, they couldn’t rely on the people to support them.
Many lives were lost in external conflicts as well as internal civil wars. Small pox and lead poisoning in the aqueducts further decimated the population. " To worsen matters, plague from China spread through the empire." (Sherman & Salisbury, 153) Just as in China, the disease caused intense suffering and depleted the already dwindling Roman population. " Medical knowledge was helpless in the face of pandemics like the mid-third-century plague, and Roman families could no longer populate the empire."
Also with the France, Britain and USA not agreeing on the terms of the treaty made it even harder for it to end. Germany’s anger from the treaty came from a few of conditions which one wasn’t entirely true. The first of these conditions were that they were to blame for the war, this condition so bad that no man in Germany would sign it not even a soldier under direct orders. Also the amount of money that Germany had to pay back was very unrealistic ($6600 million) and would cripple their country for years to come. There were other factors that Germany thought that were very unfair such as their tiny army and the amount of land that was taken from them.
The government’s initial failure came days, months, and years before Katrina stuck. A general lack of preparation exacerbated the storm’s impact and led to loss of life. A previous government exercise in which a simulated hurricane
