How successful was Henry VII in increasing wealth of the crown? 24 marks Throughout Henry’s reign he made good use of his financial resources. Henry VII knew he needed a good financial base so he could run the country, but on a more personal note, he also saw the need to create a strong financial situation to be able to secure his reign and dynasty. As Caroline Rodgers states 'Henry was acutely aware of the importance of strong finances if he was to remain safely on the throne.' However, it has often been said of Henry, 'No man has ascended to the throne with such a lack of financial experience and resources as Henry VII.'
He faced war when he knew he had too and gained power from each war he did face. He faced his enemies such as Spain and never backed down. Essentially this is what made France militaristically superior to other countries. The Fronde, of course stagnated the growth of Frances economy but he used his exploration to benefit him economically. He adopted the idea of mercantilism and gain power from it.
Alexander The Great took over the kingdom and raised it to become one of the most powerful empires which wasn’t easy. He did all he could with all his power and effort to show that he was worth being called the great. Many people such as Plutarch and Arrian, said how alexander was a hard worker and how he put endless effort to win and become the greatest. He fought for his empire and won and was so overpowered compared to other governments who
Previous kings had only used the Chamber erratically in times of war however Edward decided to make it more systematic, which in turn siphoned in much more money. This point does support how Edward was a good king because all sources show that it was his idea, not his exchequer. Edwards new policy showed that he managed the royal finances well because it meant that more revenue was coming in therefore he could run the country, as well as start paying of Henry’s debts. Additionally it meant that he could live of his own because he did not have to ask parliament to raise a tax. I think that this was possibly the most important cause to
This way the high standard of the quality of the crisps is reflected within the workers and their processes which make the brand look even more desirable, professional and it gives off the impression that they are happy working at such a well known, respectable brand. This would therefore achieve walker’s main aims and objectives as they would enjoy the product as they know that the people who created it enjoy it too and walker’s main objective would be complete because when people enjoy a product they will more than likely come back again to purchase it resulting in increased profits that the company can put back into the
In Document 2, it shows the Mughals deep Reliance on warfare to support themselves. This large military is what helped them become a major empire in the late 1500’s and early 1600’s. In Document 3, it shows that the respected military of the Turks deeply respect their militaries power. Though this document is from a Hapsburg Ambassador, he may have say fudged a little about how respectable they were, being they were trying to be on the good side of this powerful empire. A quote from another respectable empire, or slightly less biased power like a Chinese ambassador, would help truly show if the Turks had a merit system which solely used military strength as its judgment.
The war ended with the allies of Britain,France and Russia winning the war successfully.There were many reasons to why the Allies won the war.Some of the reasons were the effects of the long war on the German economy,the alliance systems,the allied naval blockade on Germany,the development of the tank towards the end of the war,and the leadership.

Theodore Roosevelt stepped up and warned businesses to “act properly.” Those business elites that cooperated with the government elites were considered good trusts. Vice versa, those who didn’t were considered bad and thus busted. Business elites still won the war due to the fact that the government could only go so far until it starts to hurt the economy. Whatever happens to the big guys would have direct impacts on the little
In “George Washington- First in War, First in Peace, First in theHearts of His Countrymen,” it is rather apparent throughout the wholechapter that George Washington was motivated by service, and not by gainingfame, glory, and honor. This is really important as a leader because it isreally easy to get sidetracked with the thought of being famous and well knownjust because you have a higher title. But usually every “higher title” comeswith even “higher responsibility,” and one needs to stay focused on thatresponsibility and not get off the track just because of gaining fortune andfame, just like George Washington emulated. He remained motivated by helpinghis people and serving his country, not by gaining a high title or fortune, andthat proved
The legacy of the empire is still around today by the new Iranian architecture, the Persian traditions, and the start of direct trade to Europe. Although considered one of the greatest empires of its time the Safavid Empire was also the shortest lived, the strengths within the empire allowed for the fast growth because of strong leaders that rose to power and their use of international trade, while the weaknesses lead to the quick demise of the empire because of the lack of strong leaders and their inability to control the ethnic groups that inhabited the nation. The strong leaders that rose to power at the beginning of the Safavid Empire enabled them to prosper because their strategic and tactical decisions allowed them to contest against other empires. Leaders such as Shah Ishmael, who was the founder of the Safavid Empire, and Shah Abbas, were of the few leaders that drove the empire to power during their existence. They were able to do this by their ability to motivate their troops
