As well as this, Gladstone also wanted to improve landlord and tenant relationships as the landlords could easily evict tenants randomly as it was a very unfair controlling system. The Irish Land Act meant there were limitations on the land lords’ eviction power and compensation was given for tenants who had been evicted. Numbers of lordships complained as many Protestants were absentee landowners so it was an incredible achievement to get the reforms through. Gladstone’s First Ministry could be considered successful in many ways. He improved efficiency and tackled the issue of
Despite this issue, DLG and the British Government set in place a range of Acts and treaty’s in order to successfully resolve this issue. It may however be argued that they made the situation worse by partitioning Ireland, splitting it into the Unionists in the North and the Republicans in the South. David Lloyd George decided to tackle this problem with a strategy revolving around repression and reform. He decided to send in a group called the ‘Black and Tans’. These were army and police men and were sent to fight the IRA and reduce the chances of the civilians of Ireland retaliating.
Do you agree with the view that the main cause of the Anglo-Irish conflict of 1919-21 was nationalist extremism? To an extent, it can be argued that the main cause of the Anglo-Irish conflict was nationalist extremism. Hepburn (S7) particularly addresses this argument as he assesses the 'blood sacrifice' as 'rapid' and 'deliberate', supported by S9, which describes the Irish Volunteers being entitled to use 'all legitimate methods of warfare if necessary' . However it can also be argued that the fault lay with the British government's ignorance and misunderstanding of Ireland and the Irish people, as Medlicott (S8) points out that the limits of what Britain would offer was ' firm' and that Irelands armed forces were a 'dangerous weapon', which in turn, combined with their violent reprisals towards the IRA, alienated many of the Irish public, and deepened the Irish Conflict as well as being arguably, as much of a 'main cause' of the conflict as extreme nationalists. S7 also highlights the importance of the conscription crisis, which can be argued to be a result of British ignorance, or the manipulation and stirring up by the revolutionary party Sinn Fein which also had a key role in the conflict.
To what extent can the pilgrimage of grace, 1536 be considered a serious threat to the Tudor Monarchy? The pilgrimage of grace was the largest revolt in England in the reign of Henry VIII and of the Tudor dynasty. It was based in Yorkshire made up of nobles and commoners and differed from the Lincolnshire rising as it was well led by a one eyed lawyer called Robert Aske. Aske was a competent organiser and kept the uprising standardised as he didn’t want to scare off nobles from joining the rebellion. The pilgrimage of grace was orchestrated to help stop the attacks against the Church in England and the monasteries.
There are many ways that Gladstone’s First Ministry could be considered to be successful. Firstly, Gladstone had a passion to pacify Ireland, this was because he feared other countries would use Ireland as an invasion base to attack Britain. Also Irish nationalists called Fenians tried to seize power of churches, which lead to the ‘Disestablishment of the Anglican Church in Ireland 1869’ The terms of the act allowed the church to govern itself as it was no longer legally established by parliament. It was seen as so liberal it was radical and extended the principal of religious liberalism to Ireland. Another successful act passed involving Ireland was the ‘Irish Land Act 1870’ Tenants were now given compensation for eviction and there were limitations of landlord power, it was a step to improving Ireland, even though it was not as successful as the previous act, and had more opposition as Irish nationalists wanted British landlords to leave Ireland completely.
Providing the Confederacy with war supplies influenced Southern power, and their assertiveness towards the Union proved beneficial to international relations. The victory of the Union encouraged the forces in Britain that demanded more democracy and public contribution into the political system. Rather than an outbreak of war, relations between America and Britain were ultimately improved when the idea of widespread famine threatened England. The American Civil War proved difficult but eventually beneficial for Britain, giving them the opportunity to check their growth and rise to power. Keeping within British tradition and diplomacy, Britain never openly partnered with the South and their involvement in the war was to protect their own people, economy, actions and
Also the document presents the triumphs and tragedies of the epic struggle on a continent placing them in a larger context in France and Great Britain global conflict. The book also offers an insight on the nature of Native Americans opposition in the evolution of American Independence. As soon as French presence disappeared, white colonists started moving aggressively in Indian territory creating even more instability in the region for Britain. The wars were so weak fought inside and outside the American continent. It created social, economic along with cultural and ethnic borders and relations reshaping its state borders due to the American Independence War fought by the Spanish, British or France.
Joseph Russell Candidate Number: 5145 Unit 4: Ireland and the Union 1815- 1922 How Significant Was The Contribution Of Michael Collins To The Successes Of Irish Republicanism In The Period 1916- 1922? Michael Collins used a number of methods to improve and force the chance for an Irish Republic down the British throats. His tactics were brutal and fully committed to the cause. However along with Collins other figures within Irish Republicanism were equally important to the success of the movement, and were also just as committed to winning Ireland for the Irish. We see Collins relentless attitude expressed in a statement made by himself when in court in April 1918 facing a charge of inciting people to steal guns.

In modern demographics, population growth is used to analyze and predict pollution, traffic, and economic changes. In the eighteenth century, the population spike of Britain is responsible for the vast difference in the way Britain treats America, inevitably leading to rebellion. All the extra population migrates to America, and the population there is also rapidly growing. The colonists are confined east of the Appalachian Mountains, and with the lack of proper technology begin to feel the pressure. This fosters the fragmentation of society: communities fall apart, there are land disputes left and right, and seeing all of this, Britain begins to take firm control of its empire, passing the Proclamation of 1763.
