This furthered the Indian’s desire for independence but they were still faced with the challenges of overcoming the divisions within India. Members of Congress were appalled by this high-handed action, although they also sympathized with Britain’s fight against Fascism. As shown in throughout the war. The main opposition to India’s independence from the British came from one faction of the Conservative Party which later formed itself into the Imperial Defense League. As told in source 16.
A major movement was the enlightenment. The enlightenment was in direct contrast to these views as it brought about a caviller dismissal of the prejudices that Burke sought to protect. Furthermore contrary to the conservative view the enlightened individuals promoted reason over reasonableness, as they believed this would liberate man from the oppression as the result of old laws. It would be foolish not to write this essay and not address Burke’s views on the French revolution. Burke opposed the instability and the reasoning of the revolution, as well as it’s potential to increase in violence and decline into anarchy, as it later did.
This showed the world that the actions of this group should not be taken seriously. Instead of America taking militar action they responded with the Stimson Doctrine. With this doctrine the US would not recognize “Manchuko” because it was taken by force. Only slightly stronger than what the League of Nations did it had the same result; it did nothing to stop the aggression. The actions in Italy, Germany, and Japan just pushed the isolationist movement even more, to not be dragged into another foreign war.
However, many other factors played a role in the demise of the Parliament such as the fact that they were ill-organised, the lack of popular support and their inability to enforce decisions. Frederick William IV was partially responsible for the failure of the Frankfurt Parliament as he was unwilling to accept the ‘crown from the gutter’. William IV was aware that acceptance of the leadership may lead to war with Austria. Austria had no wish to see a united Germany and wanted to keep it weak and divided in order to dominate. Frederick William shared this view and was unwilling to potentially cause a war with such a powerful state.
Gandhi struggled to fight against British colonizing power and the Western models of society brought with it. In China, Mao shared the same struggle against an invading power. While not a Western nation, Japan invaded China and brought what Mao considered Western systems: imperialism, colonialism, and capitalism. The historical context in which these two leaders fought an invading power was, of course, a national issue, independent of one another. However, what they fought against and the goals they made for their national struggles were global and holistic.
The Middle East, East Africa, and Japan did not like the European ways and did what they could to prevent it because they saw Europeans as corrupt and an uncivilized group of people. Places like Russia, China, and the Kongo were willing to accept European ways for various reasons like feeling threatened or doing it to just be more like them. Doc. 1 is from Tsar Peter the Great in 1714 concerning European navies and their dominance over the Russian Navy. He feels somewhat threatened by Europeans navy so he figures that if he can mimic theirs then there would be nothing to be afraid of.
Although it involved many positive aspects, it was strongly rejected by America, both the government and the citizens. The Congress found it to be an attachment of war for our countries, spend more money and slowly destroy our economy, and it pulled us into European affairs. This war without country seemed at that time very dim. Coming out of a war and feeling unstoppable, maybe Wilson was only wise enough to see that war is not something to be used unless absolutely needed. To protect the right of mankind, and lives of American and allied lives.
He references documents such as the United States Constitution and The Declaration of Independence as grounds for his arguments against the “Taylor Machine”. Holding the ideals that he was raised upon is how Jefferson Smith demonstrates the same idea of civil disobedience that Thoreau refers to. Senator Paine was oblivious to the strong heart and mind of Jefferson Smith. I believe that Smith was looked down upon and maybe even considered an imbecile due to his lack of knowledge about political affairs. Had Paine known of his plans to build a facility near Willet Creek then he surely would not have allowed him to be sworn in.

How serious was opposition to Henry’s VIII’s religious reforms? Unequivocally, one could argue that although opposition to the religious reforms of Henry VIII was manifest and diverse, the opposition wasn't serious enough to undermine the stability of the realm. Opposition from influential individuals, such as Sir Thomas More and Bishop Fisher, was serious because of the vociferous nature of Fisher’s opposition and, even more so, the defiant silence of More’s opposition. However the seriousness of their opposition and that of religious orders, such as the Carthusian monks, were ultimately inhibited by the Treasons Act of 1535, which stifled, the more serious growth of opposition from abroad. The ghoulish nature of the execution of the Carthusian monks served as a grim example to those who wished to oppose the reforms, it is unsurprising that so few individual cases of opposition were reported (there were only 500 cases of execution under treason, and half of those came from the Pilgrimage of Grace).
