Between June 11th, and June 28th, of 1776 Thomas Jefferson wrote his manifesto, “The Declaration of Independence” (later enhanced by the eloquent, and skillful, changes that Bengermin Franklin and John Adams made), as a call for the American colonies to break free from English rule. It may seem strange that Jefferson wrote this as an appeal for solidarity from the British citizenry, he even went so far as to call the British people his “Brethren”, but is important to put
After the death of Robespierre, a new government was introduced called The Directory. Napoleon seized power during this new governments reign and proved to be a great emperor for France. Napoleon stabilized France, made them an extremely strong country, and negotiated the concordat of 1801 with the Catholic Church. Napoleon was undefeated in all his wars until he failed to occupy the Iberian Peninsula, and his attack on Russia in 1812 which summited. The revolutions of France and America were both
Bowring can be seen supporting Lipson’s argument by writing in 1840, “In fact the Zollverein has brought the sentiment of German nationality out of the regions of hope and fancy into those of positive and material interests.2” Here Bowring agrees with Lipson’s statement that the creation of the Zollverein brought about the first form of German unification by breaking down the stately barriers that had previously hindered unification. E. J Passant concurs with Lipson and Bowring’s views that the Zollverein brought about a desire for unification, “The rise of the Zollverein under Prussian leadership, from 1834 onwards, contributed to the desire for still closer national unity.3” As the Zollverein grew extended, and removed internal custom barriers it encouraged

[8] In 1801 Jefferson supported France in its plan to take back Saint-Domingue, then under control of Toussaint Louverture after a slave rebellion. Jefferson sent Livingston to Paris in 1801 after discovering the transfer of Louisiana from Spain to France under the Third Treaty of San Ildefonso. Livingston was authorized to purchase New Orleans. In January 1802, France sent General LeClerc to
The colonists had built a strong national unity and identity by the beginning of the American Revolution in 1776. In the early eighteenth century, the colonies enjoyed great prosperity due to Britain’s policy of salutary neglect, which allowed the settlers various freedoms. The French and Indian War, however, ended salutary neglect and provided for the separation of an angry union of colonies. It was the French and Indian War that first forced the colonies to unite. They desperately needed the support of the Iroquois Indians to defeat the French, and in order to do so, they needed to commit an effort to a common cause.
Introduction Utilitarianism is the movement which came into realisation in the late 18th century, early 19 century as a result of English philosopher, social reformer and political radical Jeremy Betham’s Utilitarian theory of Ethics. Utilitarianism was then further developed by Stuart Mills (20 May 1806 – 8 May 1873). Utilitarianism is a normative ethical theory that places the locus of right and wrong solely on the outcomes (consequences) of choosing one action/policy over other actions/policies. Utiliotarianism is the belief that the sole standard of morality is determined by its usefulness. It moves beyond the scope of one's own interests and takes into account the interests of others.
Explain, citing specific examples. The legacies and the powerful influence of the French Revolution can be traced back. There were strong emotions that still lead back. For some people, the French Revolution gave a freedom of hope. The 19th century nationalists and revolutionaries went back to the year of 1789.
According to the text, the first stage of the French Revolution was based totally on the liberty to succeed, own, and compete. Next, the second stage of the revolution took on equality to rally their troops, which was also the revolution of the working people in the French cities. In fact the French adapted a national motto for brotherhood which was Liberte’, elgalite, fraternite…which is French for Liberty, equality, and fraternity. The debates on the compatibility of the three terms as well as their order began at the same time of the French Revolution. France was known as what is called an absolute monarchy in which King Louis XVI had complete control over the nation.
Other factors are such as French revolutionary ideas swept across Europe, 1848 Revolutions, Prussian economic and military strength. French Revolution was the first major success in Europe, which left his long term effects on Europe. It gave nations the idea of freedom, nationalism, national unity, so it was the kick to unification. German people became more united against Napoleon. At that time Bismarck wasn’t even born.
