Oliver Cromwell I think that Oliver Cromwell was right in executing the king because he was being traitorous and murderous just to retain his throne. Firstly, he kept on banding and disbanding the Parliament depending on whose side they were on. Secondly, when Oliver proposed his agreement to Charles, Charles decided to assassinate him. Thirdly, just to retain his position, he decided to call in a foreign army. Firstly, Charles kept on banding and disbanding the Parliament depending on if they favoured him or not.
Researchers like Bob Brier of Long Island University, believe that he was murdered by one of his close advisors who despised the boy king and his growing power. Others such as, Doctor Zahi Mawass, former Minister of Antiquities for Egypt, have contended that it was from an infection due to a broken leg the pharaoh had suffered days before his death. Some historians have ventured even further and speculated the King was thrown from his chariot during a hunt which caused his eventual death. The theory of murder investigated by Egyptologist Bob Brier seems to be the most likely cause of King Tut’s untimely death. Dr. Gerald Irwin, head of the radiology department at Winthrop University Hospital, examined the X-ray of King Tut and came to the conclusion that the image showed what looked to be a hematoma at the lower base of the skull, probably caused by a blow to the back of the head.

He has resolved himself not only to kill the king, but to also remove Malcolm. The king is Macbeth's cousin, and has recently given him much honor. Macbeth should be protecting the king with his own life, but despite all these things, he kills the king. MacBeth then becomes self-centered. He refuses to take any more reports.
Because of this, he decides he must kill Banquo, so that there will be no heir. “Macbeth plots the murder of Banquo, out of jealousy and insecurity.” (Hompi 1) This is obviously an absurd idea, and prior to Macbeth’s murder of King Duncan he never would have considered it as a solution. Shakespeare uses this to show how power corrupts even the best of people. It is obvious that this is still a problem in society today, as people start off with good intentions but slowly get sidetracked. Before long, their objectives have changed completely.
The Causes and Impacts of the Revolutions of 1917 – Joe Ewbank Part One 'Bloody Sunday' took place on 22nd January 1905, when around 200,000 peasants protested about working conditions led by Father Gapon. They marched peacefully to the Winter Palace, where the Tsar lived, to give him a petition. The men guarding the palace panicked as Tsar Nicholas II was not home, and open fired at the protesters, killing hundreds and wounding thousands.

Between Saturday 6th and Thursday 11th of August 2011, thousands of people drew the English government's attention to the fact they felt neglected and overlooked by a society that would blindly pass judgment on them. “Big Brother isn't watching you” is Russel Brand's take on the UK riots of 2011, in which he tries to explain the rioters motives in detail. As Russel Brand would himself point out is that he no longer lives in London and that he has “been transplanted to Los Angeles by a combination of love and money; such good fortune and opportunity, in both cases, you might think disqualify me from commenting on matters in my homeland.” Though despite this statement, Brand qualifies himself by explaining a strong moral connection to his homeland. His attitude toward the UK riots of 2011 is that it is a common problem, one born from neglect rather than the nature of people and that it must be solved with collaboration not by separation. Brand feels that the blame of the UK riots are not necessarily to be placed with the rioters and their mindsets, but rather that it is born from the social neglect that has been predominantly seen in the lower classes of society.
