If America were to remain under British rule it would only cause more conflict between the countries in Europe because other countries were trying to get a piece of America for themselves. Paine is saying that if America gains independence the fighting will stop among Europe, and America can benefit all countries with trade. 3.) Why does Chalmers equate independence with slavery? I think Chalmers equates independence with slavery because he already believed he was free under British rule.

As a result, there spawned a split view on the Greek people and their culture that gave birth to three images: an oppressed people who had endured the tyranny of Turkish rule held by Greeks and some European peoples; a people whose culture had been tainted by the ignorance of Turkish rule held by some European peoples; and a people full of robbers and drunkards who revolt out of ignorance held by influential Turkish leaders. During the Greece’s movement for peace, Greeks were viewed by themselves and by some European countries as oppressed by their Turkish rulers in Document 10, Document 11, and Document 6. According to the president of the Greek revolutionary government Alexander Mavrocordato in Document 10, the Greeks desired peace, independence, and civilization. Not only did Mavrocordato claim that the Greeks had only the best intentions but he also claimed that Greek’s actions were righteous and aided by God. In Document 11, French artist Régnier engraved a scene entitled Greece Sacrificed of a Turkish cavalry regiment charging toward a group of unarmed, unresisting Greeks clinging to a cross.
The involvement of Athens and Eretria in the Ionian revolt according to Ehrenberg “put Athens into the center of the unfolding story of the Persian wars”. Herodotus agrees, stating that the dispatch of the ships from Athens and Eretria was “the beginning of the evil for both Greeks and barbarians.” The conflict brought about strong feelings from Athens toward Persia that were carried into future battles. Herodotus records that “the whole episode was probably most important for the later attitudes which it engendered.” The Greeks were motivated into defending their land from the Persians after seeing the fate of the Greeks in Ionia. They knew that if they were conquered according to Ehrenberg that “the freedom of the Greek states would be lost.” Public support in Athens against Persia was gained due to the fate of Miletus. Many Athenians felt that more help should have been provided to protect the cities destruction.
‘Burke is a conservative thinker and therefore opposed to change.’ DISCUSS ‘We must not attempt to fly, when we can scarcely pretend to creep.’ The words of Burke himself seem almost apt for describing the caution with which one must to approach this essay title. At first glance Burkes championing of the prejudices of his forefathers combined with he’s fierce criticism of the French Revolution, seem damming evidence to support the view that he was a strong opponent of change. However, this conclusion seems to be unjust. Robert Peel suggests conservatism can be described as ‘changing what you have to in order to preserve what you can’. If we accept this premise we can disregard the conclusion that Burke was of not of the opinion that change must be avoided altogether.
Greek political and economic control had spread widely along the eastern and northern coasts of the Mediterranean, and around the Black Sea. And temporary union among the Greeks had pushed back the Persian advance, where defeat would have opened quite a different chapter in Mediterranean history. Yet the Greek political structure was also fragile. With so many different government units, division could easily override common purpose. Diversity also produced animosity, with democrats and aristocrats glaring at each other both within and among poleis.
He then proclaimed freedom of the Greeks. Adams argues however; this was a devilish ploy by Antigonus in response to threats of invasion by Ptolemy I, Cassander and Lysimachus . Not only was he weakening Cassander’s position, he was attempting to form allies in preparation for war. Diodorus certainly seems to agree with the latter, suggesting ‘the Greeks’ hopes for freedom would make them willing allies in the war’ . What is more, in his letter to Scepsis in the Troad around 311 BC , Antigonus claims that all Greeks should unite in protecting their freedom and autonomy .
The Sultan, the pashas, Hoja, and the janissaries all wanted a Muslim world with good relations with other religions minus the Christians. It was the misunderstanding of Muslims by Christians and Christians by Muslims that fueled the fire in this conflict. With the Muslims caught up with religion and not making technological advances a priority they fell to the overpowering European empires which they try to destroy. It was these misunderstandings and oppressions that brought the Ottomans to a halt but the relation that only the Hoja and the young scholar made and finally understood at the end is what draws us in to know that at least these two could co-exist without religion getting in the
Truman believes that the communist’s are using terrorist force on Greece and Turkey and therefore to protect Greece and Turkey from the communists the Truman Doctrine was invented. They also knew that they were the only country able to help Democratic Greece. They did not want a totalitarian state forced upon these countries like Greece and Turkey.

It lead to the Latin west taking precious relics home and advocating their victory which they believed God had proclaimed to them, however Pope Innocent III debarred their actions and accused them of losing their purity and faith. The Crusades were informed by chivalric and religious ideals about the sanctity of certain types of violence throughout all crusades however the later crusades were a contradiction with horrible atrocities, attacks with the only purpose of wealth and fighting and attacking Christians.
