The idea of Nationalism between the British North American colonies did not seem logical in the ninetieth century due to the vast cultural differences spanning from east to west. John A. MacDonald, leader of the Tories, thought otherwise. With a great understand of sociology and seeing the “bigger picture”, he was able to convince the colonies to come together. The illegal Alabama and Trent Affairs, as well as the raids by the angry American-Irishmen proved to be some of the external pressure for confederation. Political Deadlock initiated internal pressure resulting in multiple conferences to discuss this great coalition.
The Anti-Federalist feared this central government would in time grow into a tyrannical body that the states had fought to get away from. Today the debate still rages on about whether our government should play an active role in our lives or sit on the sidelines. Today this argument is still being discussed but In terms of members of the Republican and Democratic parties. For the most part the Democrats would take the federalist role and the Republicans would argue the anti-federalist role. Since the times of our founding fathers there is a general consensus that our government has slowly evolved in the pro federalist direction.
After the French Revolution though, the republic slowly began shifting to a totalitarian regime, first under the Committee of Public Safety and then completely under Napoleon Bonaparte .The facts show that the American Revolution was more successful in establishing a stable and long-lasting republican government that started a precedent for Europe, while the French Revolution’s republic failed to last, being turned into a totalitarian regime. Events leading up to the American and French Revolutions occurred for a similar reason: unfair representation. The people in the American colonies became progressively upset with Britain and its Parliament when they refused the colonists’ representation, while still imposing many different taxes on the colonists. Upset over this tax on one of their most valued imports, the colonists dumped all the tea into the Boston Harbor during the Boston Tea Party. This showed that the colonists were willing, and able, to live without depending on the British government.
The Weimar republic faced many problems whilst in power that could seriously damage their reputation and even throw them out of power. Some of the main problems that faced the government were the spartacists, Right wing terrorists and their actions. But there were other factors that were not the fault of the extremists but other accumulating factors that threatened the Weimar republic which included the respirations that Germany had to pay, that occupation Ruhr which help led to hyperinflation and the growing threat of the Nazi party One way the Weimar republic was threatened was by the Spartacists who were left wing rebellions and extremeists. In January 1919, the Communists rose up in revolt in Berlin. In every sense it was a futile gesture against the government.
How far was WWI essentially responsible for the downfall of the Romanovs in 1817? For years tension had been brewing due to many different aspects of life in Russia, like the personality of the Tsar, the inconsistency of the Duma and general weaknesses which prevented Russia in becoming a successfully developed and industrialised country. However other factors such as abandonment of the Tsars traditional supporters and the First World War would be considered very influential in building upon the social discontent and already existing issues which eventually lead to a consequential revolution as well as the end of Tsarist rule in 1917. Nicholas II, son of Alexander III, abdicated his throne and his haemophiliac son’s, who was too ill to serve as Tsar. The throne was then passed onto his brother Grand Duke Michael who refused, thus ending the Romanovs 300 year old rule over Russia.
David Shahverdian & Thomas Rorick Ms. Mocarski AP U.S. History September 24, 2009 Differences in the Development of the New England and Chesapeake Colonies When historians investigate the cause of the American Civil War, they often disagree about where the foundations for such a violent and bloody conflict began. Some argue the war was for political power, that the Union needed to maintain control of the Confederate states. Others vehemently defend that it was purely an economic conflict, that the war was driven solely by desire for economic prosperity and economic profit. Still others maintain that it was socially driven, a war based on the differences in fundamental beliefs between the Union and Confederate states. But in our history it is important to realize that it may not be one of these causes, but a combination of all of them that created the conditions that began our civil war.
This raises the question of whether the Reform Act rightly inherits the title, ‘Great’ at all. The Reform Act wasn’t the only factor in political development during this time however, other examples being the changes that had been happening to tax at the time, as well as uneasiness forming within the Tory party following Roman Catholic Emancipation, creating a major sense of distrust and betrayal between the Duke of Wellington and other Tory members. This heavy strain on the party was only to add to the troubles, as well as providing the public with a reason not to put their faith in the present government, also representing an opportunity or opposing Whigs to seize control of Parliament themselves. As you can see from these points alone, there are other things that prove themselves just as important as the Reform Act in bringing about political change. Likewise, the current condition of politics in this period (1780 – 1832) was becoming out-dated and intolerable for the public of the country to cope with.
Problems Waging the War A. Shortage of Workers- there were a lot of things that happened because of this i. Labor reforms- Laws that had previously strengthened unions, reforms, etc really began to get thrown by the gov't. They thought they were stopping the war efforts. ii.
Military Spending (Rough Draft) The enemies to public liberty war are, perhaps, rather than dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; these are debts and taxes... known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of a few... No nation can preserve its freedom in the midst of the war continues. (Madison) With the hate and power control between national governments and more localized governments in third world countries out-breaking in war over global supremacy, political ventures, and during the exploration for new worlds, all throughout history, there has been war. Because of this, our global defense systems in the US topple over the rest of the world with its advanced
America had a tendency to fight for the little guy and many advances were made toward helping the little guy keep from being run over by corporations and the so-called “robber barons” of big business. Today however both major political parties seem to be at the disposal of “Corporate America”. Our country has gone through cycles. During the industrial revolution, we were unable to foresee many of the things corporations would do to get ahead and make money. We recognized the hazards that come with total capitalism and enacted plans to fix them.
