Thesis: Summary: The Hundred Years War began in 1337 and lasted until 1453. The fighting, however, was not continual. Instead it was a cycle of battles, peace treaties, and breaches of these peace treaties. At the start of the war in 1337, though serfdom was still in practice, England had already been largely successful in establishing a capable, central monarchy. The monarch, however, was kept in check by the English parliament that had been born during the thirteenth century.
The battle of the Spurs (1513) and the Battle of Flodden (1513), although to some considered small skirmishes, did make the countries of Europe start to notice England as a possible threat and certainly now knew about Henry VIII. England didn’t really gain the Honour and Glory that Henry VIII claimed they had gained through these two battles but it certainly did make other countries start to notice England and Henry VIII. One big success that Henry VIII did manage to accomplish in the early years of his reign was that he was able to gain the French pension he felt England deserved. After the capturing of the two towns Tournai and Thérouanne Henry demanded the French compensate the English for the areas that had been previously under English control. We can infer that this demand for the pensions was more
In 1543 a very weak and ill Henry married his last wife, Catherine Parr. This marriage meant power for the reformist faction. Catherine Parr was a committed Protestant, this showed that the conservative faction were losing ground. Her presence and influence with the king gave the reformist faction a definite advantage. However,

This law kept money in the empire but hurt the pockets of the wealthy colonists mercantilist that depended on the shipping trade. Then when the French Indian War ended the King made them keep the treaties that had been made with the Indians and refused the rich merchants the right to expand and claim more land. The war had also left England in debt as most wars do, so England called on the colonist to pay taxes to help with their own defense. They did not single the American colonist out they asked this of all of their subjects in all the colonies under English rule. So in 1767 England passed the Townshend Acts which included the Revenue Act of 1767, the Indemnity Act, the Commissioners of Customs Act, the Vice Admiralty Court Act, and the New York Restraining Act.
They signed the English Bill Of Rights, which stop many conflicts between the crown and parliament and the end of the idea that England would be restored to Roman Catholicism, King William being a Protestant leader. They were childless, so of course when they both died Mary’s sister stepped in. They stopped many conflicts within the nation and gave their people more freedom They were both monarchies. Ivan was an
It started after the French and Indian Wars that led to several acts purposed by the British congress. These acts included the Stamp Act, Townshend Act, the Intolerable Acts, and the Tea Acts. These new acts were all enacted after the French and Indian War ended in 1763. This war was a great victory for England; however this victory came at a very high cost, literally. England was in debt of over
Skylar Marino Mr. Hoffman The American and French Revolution The American and French revolutions were both a great but scary time in France and in America’s history. There were many similar reasons of why these two countries went into Revolution, such as a lack in no taxation without representation, and Enlightenment. And there are also, different reasons of why these two countries went into the revolution such as there was more at stake for America then France. Before the time these two countries went into revolution they both had a lack in no taxation without representation. In France there was an estate system, the first estate was made up of the Roman Catholic clergy, about 1 percent of the population.
There were many merchants and traders. When the British closed off the harbor during the war efforts, they found other trading routes and this ended up helping them in the years to come. America also paid for the war using international loans, a very essential component in the unlikely victory. They won the French approval after the battle of Saratoga and this lead to the support from Spain and the Netherlands (Brinkley, 126). They were able to financially manipulate the French against the English but they also made them believe in victory.
Britain was like a splinter in the American people--limiting, but not completely impairing despite any of its efforts; the noticeable agitation was there in America, but the root of the problem wasn't "taken care of" until the physical American Revolution--physical being that there, too, lorded among the people an inner Revolution in each one of them. Various movements of Britain, the mother country of America, brought attention to its selfishness over time and thus the American people began to see their own potential as an individual country. Being people from Europe as they had recently made their voyage to America, the colonists relied on Europe for certain things (i.e. technology) as they had not yet adapted to the new-found land and lifestyle.
