The failure of foreign policy in the years 1514-1525 can be attributed to many things. The combination of Henry's isolation from European affairs and the fact that his attempts to raise tax were ultimately unpopular failures, meant that he had no way to impose himself upon Europe. Even when he did manage to scrape together the finances needed for a strong foreign policy his reliance on his allies led to disaster. As soon as Henry took the throne in 1509, it was obvious that he was a king that wanted to fight a war. However, wars generally led to very expensive costs to the country.
The government could not control all these invasions, so this was another component that helped the fall of the Roman Empire. Document 5 shows bias because it blames the fall of the civilization on internal decay. This is significant because if a very well organized government that had been able to keep order throughout such a large empire could no longer do it, then this meant nobody else could. All of these political
And it was one small battle that may have turned around the whole war. One way that it tuned the war in favor of the patriots was the very thought of a huge victory to raise the hopes of the patriots and to increase their performance on battles. That was the whole point of the battle in George Washington's eyes anyway. After so many lost battles he knew that to raise the spirits of the troops enough to win the war, they would need one huge victory. And Saratoga was just that.
America Wins Their Independence England may have had an alarming amount of tangible and intimidating advantages, but in the end it was America’s intangible advantages that carried the colonists to their victory of the American Revolution. Looking at England’s advantages on paper; a superior Navy and a mass amount of experienced and well trained solders, it seems impossible for them to lose. However, America held the advantages of foreign allies and officers, the fact that they were fighting for their homeland and their undying persistence. It was, consequently, these advantages that won them the war. During wars, armies use the opposing sides’ disadvantages to work in their favor.
In 300 A.D. most of the roman army were barbarian trained soldiers. This is why the battles with the enemies was so hard. Rome didn’t have complete control over the military and the situations. Romans got tired and irritated by the army not wanting to defend then that they hired citzens from unemployment. But they knew that they couldn’t rely on that army so the emperors raised all of the taxes because hiring the army was expensive.
And lastly the regency crisis of 1788 meant that Pitt could use this to gain favour with the king and gather support from his own party and draw it away from the opposition. These circumstances proved effective in propelling Pitt’s domination but without his own skill he would not have been able to dominate, for example his financial skill ensured that Britain benefitted from the industrial revolution as was the handling of the regency crisis which completely favoured Pitt but he
The financial approach was a tough period in finance; with a King that wanted to spend and go to war, and Wolsey had no choice but to bow to his majesty’s request. Wolsey was to follow on the financial policy of an extremely successful monarch with finances, in Henry VII. Wolsey’s balance sheet was a mixture of successes and failures; his aim was to manage the finances so that King’s policies were still affordable. He found a good source of income to raise funds for the French war. This was the largest tax ever and was extremely significant in Wolsey’s financial campaign; Henry would most likely not have raised the funds for the war given his lazy demeanour, leaving the monarchy in a large debt.
John Smith Mr. Fitz AP US History 29 September 2013 The Political, Diplomatic, and Military Advantages Leading to the American Victory The American victory during the Revolutionary War was complete luck. It was hard to imagine the new, still growing America, going against one of the largest empires in the world, Great Britain, and surviving. Americas strive for independence did not happen overnight, and was not an easy victory. But the Americans’ growing political strengths, their diplomacy with foreign countries, and their later strategic military allowed them to somehow overwhelm the British and finally gain their independence. In 1775, the Second Continental Congress met in response to the battle of Lexington and Concord, to discuss what the next move for America should be.
New weaponry made in the war made the king stronger against nobles. Because the king was the only one who could afford cannons, it made it impossible for the nobles to assert their
