America won not because they had better soldiers, more supplies and weapons, or better fighting styles. America won because they had moral victories and causes that cannot be counted the same way the English troops can be counted. More often than not throughout the war, it is demonstrated that the intangible features are often the ones that count more in the
However, wars generally led to very expensive costs to the country. Henry's father, Henry VII, left the country in quite a stable state economically, but Henry devoted most of England's money into his campaigns to take over France, because he believed had a right to the Throne. To some extent source 4 supports the idea that the foreign policy did fail due to the lack of resources, because it states that “the young warrior family accepted the fact that royal finances could not support a repetition of the campaign of 1513”. This quote implies that the lack of resources seems to be the dominant reason for stopping Henry from invading France and therefore source 4 supports the statement to some extent. In source 4 we also learn that much must have depended on diplomatic relations with Maximilian and Ferdinand, however Henry’s allies proved unfaithful and unreliable.
How far was the outbreak of civil war in 1455 due to the loss of English territories in France? In his public announcements of 1450, 1452 and 1455 York proved his loyalty to the king by saying that he did not wish “to displease my sovereign lord”. He was also constantly claiming that his opposition against the king was because of his rivalry with Somerset. York even knelt before Henry after St.Albans in an attempt to prove his loyalty to him. The loss of English territories in France was the main cause of York’s hatred of Somerset and worsened the relationship between Henry and York, whose relationship was already strained because of the court faction’s suspicions of York’s intentions and fears of attainder.
Another reason why the First Crusade was successful was because of its efficient leadership. Leaders such as Robert of Flanders, who organised the foraging and gathering of materials at Jerusalem; and Robert of Normandy, who was one of the great failures of the crusade but yet scoured a victorious charge at Ascalon, greatly contributed to the success of the First Crusade. Perhaps the greatest contributor to the success of the First Crusade in terms of leadership was Bohemund. Bohemund was considered the greatest leader of the First Crusade. He was an able general, whose greatest strength was his aggressiveness.
Soldiers from Continental Army had not been paid, and they feared that Congress would not meet their promises. By early 1783, some officers were considering forcing Congress to pay, but, obviously, Congress had no money. Disappointed by his fellow soldiers, George Washington gave a passionate speech. His message opposed anyone "who wickedly attempts to open the floodgates of civil discord and deluge our rising empire in blood." Not only was the country indebt but also the colonist fought so hard for their independence and their country.
“Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.” - John Parker. Revolution is a dynamic process whose consequences no one can anticipate. The American colonies in 1765 were surprised by the new taxes that were being presented from the Parliament. This caused a rebellion that lead to a complete separation from Great Britain that once the colonistshad loved because of their powerful government that viewed them as equals and largely left alone to do what they wanted. Little over a decade, conflict began to occur with the British and Patriots in the Spring of 1775 in Massachusetts.
With the American’s having this idea of freedom from Great Britain made the Americans never give up, causing turning points in the war when the war seemed like a huge lost for the Americans. The American’s never lost the idea of independence that they had so much to fight for and if they did lose or broke the idea that they will lose everything to Great Britain. Great Britain Taking Away Americans Rights The road to the American Revolutionary war was over a span of time with different events happened where American’s needed their independence from Great Britain. The French and Indian War 1754 to 1763 was a war between France and Britain. The French ended up defeating Great Britain and leaving them highly in debt due to the war.
The French and Indian War was fought by the British and the French. This war caused many issues between the American colonies and Britian because of the things the British were doing to the Americans during the war. Economically, the British were doing things ideologically, and politically, as well. After the war, the British were trying to find a way to get back all the money they spent on the war. The English did not have much money aand it did not help the British much.
The Revolutionary War: Why was it fought and was it preventable? Many believe that the trouble started brewing in 1763 at the end of the French Indian War but in all truth the colonist first started feeling discontent with the passing of the Navigation laws in 1650. This law stated that all goods flowing to and from the colonies could only be transported in British vessels. It was aimed to hurt rival Dutch shippers. This law kept money in the empire but hurt the pockets of the wealthy colonists mercantilist that depended on the shipping trade.
