Mazzini gave tremendous support to Italian Nationalism and he spent most of his time convincing Italians to support the creation of a democratic, self-governing state of Italy. His complex ideas such as ‘The Brotherhood of people’ meant that he had limited appeal to upper classes, and his radical views also did not appeal to the middle classes and liberals who opposed violence. The revolutions in support for national unity in the years 1848-9 meant that for 18 months the Italian peninsula was in turmoil until the gains won by liberals were reversed and the revolutions that had taken place were suppressed. To a large extent I agree that Mazzini’s limited appeal contributed to slow progress, however I think that there are other over-riding factors such as the influence of the Church and lack of foreign support that would have also contributed. It could be argued that Mazzini’s ideas were the main reason for the slow progress of national unity in Italy in the years 1815-48.
How Successful were Wolsey’s Domestic Policies?? In this essay I’m going to be writing about Thomas Wolsey and how successful he was in dealing with all the domestic policies and if they were success or failures. Cardinal Wolsey introduced some policies over the time period of 1515-1529 when he was in power, historians have argued that for centuries whether his policies were a success or a failure. Wolsey was exceedingly powerful during his reign and held a very high and mighty position. His roles were very important and had to be done very well, his roles were Kings Chief Minister and cardinal with a papal legate, making him very controlling but also giving him lots of responsibilities for the administration of places from finance to control of the church and also legal reforms.
Was the League of Nations a failure? The League of Nations is thought to be a failure by many, because of hard irony and limitation on military might. The League accomplished very little in stopping wars and conflicts while having very little power. Often they just shook fists at ruthless, evil dictators such as Germany’s Adolf Hitler and his conquests, without intervening. Another Major flaw was that “the country, whose president, Woodrow Wilson, had dreamt up the idea of the League - America -, refused to join it.” The league’s most powerful militaries Britain and France not only suffered casualties, but also economically as they were greatly in debt to the United States.
The treaty was quite unpopular, not only with the Germans, but also with the Big Three. Even at the time, the peace-makers left the conference feeling that they had failed to make a treaty that would keep the peace and satisfy everybody. The historians have ever since blamed the Treaty of Versailles for helping the Second World War. One of the Big Three, David Lloyd George of Great Britain had two views on how Germany should be treated. He was quite satisfied with the treaty.
Use Source A,B and your own knowledge. Explain how far the views in Source B differ from those in Source A in relation to Fascist Corporations in Italy. Source A and B disagree about the effect of Corporatism in Italy, however they do agree on certain things such as how Corporatism is appealing to the workers. The views that were imposed in Source B is highly negative and basically attacking the Fascist Corporation, we can see this straight away from where the Source comes from, Exiled leader of the Italian Communist Party. According to Togliatti the idea of the Fascist Corporations were entirely “falsehood” which conveys negative imagery for the corporations while in Source A the tone is very different as Source A claims that the idea of Corporations is very positive and it is
Moreover, Gulliver shows a great deal of dislike towards lawyers who his. They are depicted as “social parasites who measure their worth by their excellence at deception and therefore inhibit justice” (Shirley Galloway, par.7). He also heavily criticises England’s politicians and claims that they are heavily corrupted: A First or Chief Minister of State, [...], was a creature wholly exempt from joy and grief, love and hatred, pity and anger; at least made use of no other passions but a violent desire of wealth, power, and titles;
In this question I am going to answer the question, ‘explain why each of the ‘big 3’ was dissatisfied with the treaty of Versailles’. The treaty was a formal compromise. It was written by David Lloyd George, Georges Clemenceau and Woodrow Wilson to punish Germany for the damage to Versailles in France. David Lloyd George, Georges Clemenceau and woodrow wilson was called the big three because they’re the main people in charge of creating the treaty of Versailles. Italy is part of the big three but was not that important because Italy's experience in World War One was disastrous and ended with the insult of her 'reward' at the Versailles Settlement in 1919.
That’s when the help of Benito Mussolini came into play. Mussolini, originally socialist, had started to urge fascism in Italy. Spreading his beliefs through propaganda as well promoting some violence to force people into his fascist beliefs driving them away from what was once a socialist country. With an extremely weak liberal government and socialism dying this had led many to believe Mussolini was doing the best and started following his extreme right-wing beliefs. With politics being a major part of Italian depression it had also taken great affect on Germany as well.
People of both Italy and Germany no longer trusted their own governments and had nowhere else to turn, so they decided to give fascism a fair shot. Both Italy and Germany came out of World War I with severely weakened economies. At the time, Mussolini in Italy and Hitler in Germany took advantage of their own countries dire situation. Although neither came into power automatically or easily, they manipulated their countries’ economic situations to gain power “respectfully.” According to Robert Paxton, (page 92) “Hitler’s opportunity came around with the next crisis: the economic crash of the 1930s.” Basically, Paxton is saying that Hitler was utterly lucky with the timing around which he tried to take power, which I agree with completely. I believe Hitler came into power at a time where Germany’s economy was in sheer chaos, and people weren’t sure where to turn to fix it.
Therefore,the result that noneof the previous Italians leaders could ever achieve including Mazzini. He also received a supporter from german since they offered to get back venetia for piedmont,the 7weeks war. The French victory in helping popepius ix to regain his position in rome in 1849 leading to dreams for unification blown away. This is clear that diplomatic strategy applied by cavour had made him more successful than Mazzini. On the other hand,Mazzini was not success because of he disliked cavour’s policy that believed the Italians should act their own account.
