-but the neutrality act covered only implements of war. Roosevelt accordingly called for a voluntary restriction, a "moral embargo". -that embargo aroused the protest of the Italian government and met with general defiance by American oil companies. The American policy preceded by many weeks economic sanctions by the league which did not include oil. -when Congress convened in 1936 one of its first task was to replace the neutrality resolution of 1935, but in the end it extended the existing act until May 1, 1937, with amendments banning credits to belligerents and leaving it up to the president to decide that a state of war existed before the act could be
Who were the major players in the Spanish Civil War and how did they affect its course and outcome? For the first time in Spain’s history, 1931 marked the year that changed the country into an orderly democratic republic. The exile of King Alfonso XIII in 1931 because of the loss in support from the Spanish people only highlighted that the monarchy was doomed. Therefore, the Second Spanish Republic ruled from 1931 until 1937 and was under the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera whose main aims was to modernize Spain through liberal, democratic means. Although, the development of change already faced opposition from right-winged supporters, including rich landowners who feared social changes that the Republic would try to implement.
“"Fascism" was the ideology of the movement that, under the leadership of Benito Mussolini, seized power in Italy in 1922 and held power until the Allied invasion of Italy in World War II” 18. “An attempt to provide fascism with a fully articulated theory was made by an Italian neo-Hegelian philosopher of some distinction, Giovanni Gentile, who was converted to fascism after Mussolini's coup.” 19. “But fascism equally opposed socialism, which preached class war and trade unionism and thus served only to divide the nation” 20. “Revolutionized society in such a way that the socialist critique was no longer relevant” 21. “Fascism's debts to the more extreme and fanatic elements of the nineteenth-century left wing” 22.
Metternich aimed to stop the revolution in Naples from spreading to other parts of the country, as it was obvious, as it was the first major uprising that it had the potential to be big enough to damage the Austrian rule in Italy, King Ferdiand had promised a constitution which was not being granted when they wanted and General Pepe was appointed as leader of the revolutionists and he was to be made leader of the new government. At the Congress of Troppau it was decided between some of the biggest countries in Europe that the uprising would be stopped at the King of Naples would be restored, for this to happen there were various steps. The entire operation was master minded by the Austrians. The Austrian troops marched into Naples and suppressed the uprising with the backing of Russia and Prussia, the suppression was very vicious and they restored King Ferdinand’s monarchy, which was very much in favour of Austrian help. During 1821 there was another uprising in Italy in Piedmont, this was the battle between Charles Albert and
But Britain does have the choice to stay in the European Union or not, as parliament are allowed to leave at any given time. A case which demonstrates the effect is the case of Costa v ENEL (1964). Costa was affected by the nationalisation of the Italian electricity industry, and claimed the procedure had been unlawful because EC law had not been complied with.
News reached him that the tribune_s veto against Pompey_s legislation had been disallowed, and that they had fled the city. Caesar knew that if he resigned his command on his army, that he would be immediately prosecuted for his actions in 59 BC. The only manouvere he could see which would enable him to continue to be free, was to enter Italy with his legions and defend his honour and reputation. OUTLINE THE CONSTITUTIONAL POSITION OF CAESAR IN THE PERIOD 49-44 BC Between 49-44 BC, Caesar became more and more autocratic, until the oligarchy government Rome had desperately tried to achieve for so long became a one man dictatorship. It began small, with a dictatorship lasting only 11 days, until in 44 BC he was given this position for life.

It could be better for Europe, worse for Slavs or threatening to America. We try to take the past and make it into some sort of future which sometimes we blind ourselves by the obvious facts. Hitler did not want war with America, simply it screwed itself by allying with Japan who he hoped would secure the East and not attack America. This backfired just like his so called "secure" alliance with Italy which sometimes turned into more of a resource hog then a help (excl. Italian help on the Eastern Front).
Voltaire draws a comparison to the implementation of a universal language in Italy. He asks, “do you believe that the consul of the Academy...would have been able, in good conscience, to cut the tongues out of all the Venetians and of all the Bergamese who would have persisted in speaking their own dialects?” (Voltaire 798). The point, as Voltaire exaggerates, is that no individual or group is in the position to intervene in other religion's affair, or worse, persecute them, simply because they disagree with their beliefs. Voltaire applies satire again when he asks, “are you certain that our Creator and Father will say to the wise and virtuous Confucius, to the lawmaker Solon, to Pythagoras...to the best of mankind...'Away with you, monsters, go suffer torments that are infinite in intensity and duration” (Voltaire 799). In this example, Voltaire's connection to great thinkers throughout history makes his logic even more profound because all of these men argue enlightened concepts, but on varying topics, so thus, none deserves more praise than the other.
[5] Reagan was scheduled to attend the 1987 G-7 summit meeting in Venice, Italy, and later made a brief stop in Berlin. [6] The Brandenburg Gate site was chosen to highlight the President's conviction that Western democracy offered the best hope to open the Berlin Wall. [2] His speech focused on a series of political initiatives to achieve this end. The famous "tear down this wall" phrase was intended as the logical conclusion of the President's proposals. As the speech was being drafted, inclusion of the words became a source of considerable controversy within the Reagan administration.
