For the purpose of this paper, attention will be focused on the Antigonid, Ptolemaic, and Seleucid kingdoms and how these powerful institutions employed these particular methods to legitimise their personal monarchies. The use of propaganda to form alliances by the successor kings, as a political strategy, is most certainly visible in the century following Alexander’s death in 323 BC . It could be argued that Antigonus I, through his proclamation of Greek freedom in 315 BC , was engaging in propaganda as a means of securing legitimacy and power for his monarchy.

Controlled Assessment Task Part (A) The First World War is associated strongly with Trench Warfare. How useful and reliable are these sources in explaining what conditions in the trenches were like? The public’s imagination of the Great War has been closely associated with Trench Warfare. Within the beginning period of the war August-September 1914 both armies expected a rapid war of movement, however the advances upon firing technology resulted in the complex trench systems being developed. The traditional interpretation was that soldiers spent all of their time in horrific conditions which they constantly experienced and they feared the factor of being sent ‘Over the top’ and that trenches were full of rats, lice and disease.
The trenches were dug in zig zag shapes instead of straight lines to make it harder for enemies to shoot down into the tranches while simultaneously making it harder for them to capture. The layout of the trenches faced each other maybe 800 meters away with a space in between them covered in barbwire called "No Man's Land" because you were fully exposed and didn't stand much of a chance. But, on occasions they would cross over the barbwire into enemy territory at night. This was a whole other fighting style that was very new and was hard to master. Behind the primary trench was a secondary trench in case the first one was capture or they needed support.
For the Qing Dynasty, which came to power in the mid 1640’s, they adopted many ideas and bureaucratic practices from the very government they overthrew, the Ming. Johnathan Spence’s novel, “Treason by the Book”, describes a very highly developed and highly sophisticated method of Bureaucracy is practiced by the Qing Emperor and his council. This example of success and bureaucratic practice can be seen similarly though with the Ottoman Empire as well. For instance, both dynasties had to find a successful way to rule over a vast area of land that wasn’t fortunate enough to be populated by the same ethnic group. China had to incorporate Manchu’s and Han Chinese, while the Ottoman Empire had to incorporate Turks and Muslims, among others.

The city of Axum represented a few major characteristics; tyranny, Christianity, slavery and militaristic.

The American people rebelled against the British in 1776; this rebellion was prompted by quite a number of events. The writer would analyse the factors which led to the rebellion in this paper. Some of the factors that will be provide the backbone of this paper are parliamentary taxation, the legacy of colonial religions and political ideas, British military measures and restrictions of civil liberties. It is important to note that even though stated the causes are intertwined as with many historical events because some events take place simultaneously and are therefore inextricable although the writer will hereafter discuss them as though they are separate. The first factor is parliamentary taxation; this taxation was done by the British parliament which had no true colonial representation according to the colonialists.
