When Hasdrubal dies, Hannibal the youngest son of Hamilcar takes over. Hannibal uses his army to take over Seguntum. This is an independent act and not approved by the Carthaginian government. This surprises Rome that Carthage would do that. Rome sends an embassy and says its ok just give up the city and well backtrack no need for a problem.
I was working on bringing you over to the conspirator’s side. I was manipulating you so I can get my way. I was the one sending forged letters supposedly from the Roman public saying they don’t want Caesar as king to you. I did this because I knew you wouldn’t have help me killed Caesar unless you thought Rome didn’t want him to be king. I know you might be shock at this news but I was honestly doing it for the better of Rome.
Despite its imperfections, the Articles were able to provide the Colonies ability to conduct diplomacy and a sense of colonial unity. However it lacked many aspects to make a strong governmental organization. One of which is, the inability to regulate currency. During the Revolution, many colonies lacked any form of effective currency and as a result they developed their own state currency. Over time the currency lost its value due to inflation which devastated colonial economies.
How far do you agree that the limited appeal of Mazzini’s ideas was the main reason for the slow progress of national unity in Italy in the years 1815 – 48? National unity is when a nation comes together through sharing the same physical and religious beliefs. During 1815 and 1848 man revolutions took place in Italy, specifically in The Papal states, Piedmont, Sicily, Modena and Parma. The revolutionaries varied from students to soldiers who were all fighting against the Monarchy. The monarchy treated its states people terribly and they were fed up, this is how the revolutionaries came to be, in general the revolutionaries were to an extent successful because they overthrew the monarchies however they were then beaten by the Austrian reinforcements that the monarchy asked help from.
In addition Napoleon with great diplomatic skills made sure that Venitia would be ceded to France even if Austria won and then passed on to Italy. Moving on a war broke out between France and Prussia in 1870, as a result Napoleon III wanted to bring his army up to strength and so withdrew his troops from Rome. Victor Emmanuel suggested an agreement to pope which was rejected and an army of 6000 troops was sent to occupy Rome. Moreover Napoleon III had many motives that influenced his actions in Italy. The fact that he belonged in the Carbonaris in his youth believed it was his destiny to do something for Italy.
Europeans considered them as being “uncivilized”, but I believe they were always civilized. Some tribes waged war more than others, but some Europeans were very warlike as well; some tribes were very vicious in war but that also applies for the Europeans also. Most tribes fought for their land when they were invaded by the Europeans, but so would the English, Spanish and French fight for their land if they would be invaded by a different nation. Besides the war they started with the natives in order to conquer their land, they also brought a new,unheard or unseen major problem with them: smallpox. Many European trade sellers were known for purposely selling infected blankets By the simple fact that they fought to defend their territory, Europeans look at natives like they were savages, uncivilized and cruel, but they forget that they are the ones who are causing all of this.
The Romans next set their sights on the Etruscans and quickly drove them out of the Italian peninsula. * Conquering of Etruscan Territory- The Romans were able to drive the Etruscans quickly from the Italian peninsula by allying themselves with other Latins and with the Greeks. The Etruscan territory was conquered throughout the 5th and 4th centuries BC. * Invasion of the Gauls- The Romans had a setback, however, when the Gauls (aggressive and nomadic Celts) came into Italy in 387 BC, defeated the Roman army and burned down Rome. The Gauls only wanted to loot Rome and leave, which they did, but it also made Rome very vulnerable to the people it had conquered before; different Italian states attacked Rome as a consequence.
In his message to Congress in January 1936 Roosevelt indicted nations that had the "fantastic conception that they, and they alone, are chosen to fulfill a mission and that all others... in the world must... be subject to them." at the same time he issued a proclamation of neutrality and invoked the mandatory arms embargo -this supposition in Washington was the embargo that would hurt Italy more than Ethiopia since Ethiopia lacked dollars and buy arms. -actually the arms embargo did little hard to airily since it had its own munitions industry. Where the restriction of American exports really could hurt the Italian war making capacity was in oil. -but the neutrality act covered only implements of war.
As told by Tacitus, a Roman historian, first taking place in 60 AD we are introduced to Suetonius who is the new governor of Briton. Suetonius’, whose military talents gave him pretensions, decided that he wanted, during his reign as king, to conquer all. He plans to do so first by taking over the Isle of Mona. This was actively the refuge place for Britons who are avoiding Rome. However, taking place on the Isle of Mona at the time is a complete abomination of people, food, land and supplies.
His book was largely one-sided and biased, and was used more for propaganda and justification for the three million deaths the nine-year war caused than for a light read or entertainment. In the book he tried to paint a picture of barbarian tribes who needed to be forcefully civilized, and he took this route to further his political career. "The Conquest of Gaul" by Julius Caesar was a great literary work of its time and had a large impact on ancient culture, although it was a very biased view of the conquest of Gaul it showed that Caesar was far more than a bloodthirsty leader, he was an intelligent, resourceful
