The French and Indian War altered relationships and created tensions between Britain and its American colonies. The political relation strained because of the laws like the Proclamation of 1763 that angered colonist. As a result of political laws like the Proclamations and Acts, the economy went is to poverty and depression. Ideological was seen by the colonist to be Independent. The French and Indian War made the British council establish new laws.
Between the years of 1625 to 1629, discontent between Crown and Parliament was rife after a number of problems that caused conflict to arise. One of the major issues that caused such discontent was Buckingham’s foreign policy however, there were other reasons too such as Charles promoting Arminianism, Parliament not granting Charles tunnage and poundage and Charles refusing to remove Buckingham to name a few other reasons. Buckingham’s foreign policy is easily a significant factor as to why relations between Crown and Parliament began to get worse. Perhaps the most considerable factor was the failed Cadiz expedition. Buckingham was blamed heavily as the Cadiz expedition was a total failure.
However the outdated tax system and James’s spending habits didn't allow him to do so and from this problems arose, the King would often spend extraordinary amounts of money on many things such as jewellery, the royal wardrobe and gifts for his favourite courtiers, the royal wardrobe alone was said to be £36,000 per annum. As the king could not live off his own means this meant that he would often ask parliament for financial aid however parliament were always hesitant because of such royal expenditure, this obviously caused hostility between both parties and with that problems between the two. Linked to this is the Great contract, an idea proposed by Lord salisbury to possibly solve the financial problems that the King and country had. The contract was composed of terms that supposedly would both benefit the crown and benefit parliament, those were that the crown would give up its feudal rights, that parliament would pay a sum per annum to the crown and that also parliament would pay a lump sum initially. In theory this sounds great however the lump sum would only amount to £200,000 and the crown happened to be in £280,000’s worth of debt at the time, so the
The rising political clashes within the Democratic-Republican Party, example: the “Corrupt Bargain,” Marshall and the Courts, and etc.• Jackson’s Victory, and the separate Political parties that were created. Decisions of the Supreme Court were highly nationalistic and gave the federal government more power in regulating the economy which was opposed by those who did not agree with centralization or economic growth. Disagreements over decisions made by Congress and the powers given to them led to distrust and displeasure with the government. Document A –Due to the war of 1812, the people fell under poor conditions since many taxes were put onto the American people after the war.• The Panic of 1819-As a result of bank banking,
The harsh reparation payments by the Treaty Of Versailles ( £6600 million) was indeed a threat to the Weimar Republic. However, there was low unemployment of 17% and a growth in foreign investment. This economic crisis led to a more extreme political threat within German and therefore should be considered as more significant. There a high amount of tension between parties, and strikes between both the Left and the Right were becoming ever more apparent due to the lack of faith within the government. In fact the groups within the right such as the Freikorps and consul organisation showed an increasing amount of violence because of their lack of support on democracy, which of course created a tremendous threat to the Weimar Republic.
Some historians say that Charles is totally to blame for this war, while some say that parliament is totally to blame for it. I am going to tell you about it. There were many reasons for why the king was to blame one of the reasons for why the king was to blame was because of his money problems. Charles was not good with money and always had very little. He had closed down parliament and had to think of ways of getting money without asking the parliament's help.
Both sources A and B indicate that Charles was instrumental in the collapse of the relationship. In particular source A identifies Charles’ pursuit of ‘policies in religion, foreign affairs and finance” as major factors in contributing to the breakdown. This points to the attempts of Charles to reform the church and move it towards Arminianism; his disastrous failure at Cadiz and La Rochelle costing the country both money and men, and his attempt to finance the crown independently through the illegal collection of customs duties (tunnage and poundage). These policies drove a wedge between crown and parliament and were rooted in Charles’ behaviour and desire to exert his authority. Indeed source A attempts to remove the finger of blame from parliament, which had been accused of grasping to usurp the power and authority of the king, by suggesting that “money and parliamentary privilege were symptoms and not the cause of the breakdown.” Source B supports this notion as it indicates that the policies of Charles’ government “raised fundamental legal, constitutional and religious issues.” In this sense both sources A and B agree with each other,
How far were Louis XVI's problems of his own making? The problems Louis XVI faced during his reign were partially due to his lack of leadership ability, his poor decisions and unwise actions. He created these problems by giving too much power to his nobles and hardly utilizing his power in his Divine Right. However, he did inherit an archaic system which was on the verge of collapse in Europe in general and the government of France had many inbuilt weaknesses already. He was faced with a tidal wave of new, enlightened ideas that was also fueled by France's involvement in the American war of independence.
The Weimar Republic was faced with such hardship when it came into power that it seemed as though it was almost destined to fail. It had inherited a political situation that seemed weak due to the abdication of the Kaiser, the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, the economy and the "Stab in the Back" theory affected by the old elites of German society. The new government faced violent opposition from both sides of the political spectrum, although with differing levels of success, and an economy that was spiraling out of control. However, it was the violence of the extreme right which of could been seen as the largest risk to the stability of the Weimar Republic due to its effectiveness and its closeness. Firstly, it is clear to see that the violence of the extreme right was certainly a clear threat to the Weimar republic as it in fact managed to succeed in briefly overthrowing the government.
Although Louis XIV was proved himself as a hardworking ruler but his obsession for glory dragged France into three long wars: the War of Devolution, the Nine Years War and the War of Spanish Succession. Consequently the war drained France’s treasury. On top of the three long wars France participated in, Louis also made some fatal governing mistakes while dealing with internal issues. The series of internal and external error Louis XIV encountered eventually haul France down from its dominant position. evaluate how the internal and external error encountered by Louis XIV contributed to Louis XIV failure to establish France as a dominant power in Europe.
