This basic form of opposition was never truly effective as their actions were simply put down by the government partly due to their failure to unite and lack of ideology and political demands. This was, however, not the only internal opposition to Tsar Alexander II with the “Going to the People” movement emerging in 1874. Here young members of the Russia intelligentsia went to the peasants breaching to them about their ideas about how life should be lived. This proved unsuccessful, they failed to appeal to the peasantry and the regime managed to arrest members showing them to be ineffective at this point. However, the populist movement developed from here, eventually splitting into two groups; the Black Partition and the People’s Will.
The Pilgrimage of grace failed for many reasons, however, I think it failed mainly due to poor leadership. This is because Robert Aske accepted the King’s pardon at the River Don and trusted that Henry was going to discuss their grievances in court. When they accepted the pardon they dispersed back to their homes, which meant that when Henry didn’t do anything about their grievances then it would be difficult for all the rebels to regroup. The rebellion was regionalised to the North of the country and was too far away from London go back after just coming back. M.L Bush said that ‘It was interconnected regional rebellions rather than one fluid movement’ because once the rebels had gone back to where they lived dotted across the North of England they would all have to meet up rather than go down to London in one group.
He was generally described as a smart man with great manners however lacked those qualities of a practical man. He was believed to have said to his cousin that “I am not prepared to be a Tsar. I have never wanted to become one”. It can be said that the growth of internal opposition was in fact not that threatening to the Tsarist regime. For example, the use of Okhrana and their powers such as being able to intercept mail and check on activities within the factories, universities, army and state made it quite difficult for large groups to form and discuss possible opportunities to overthrow the Tsarist regime.
They fired only after they were pelted with snowballs,ice chunks,and rocks. The soldiers fired out of panic and stress as the colonist would have done if the roles were reversed. At the time of the incident there were many colonists who were opposed to British troops being stationed in North America and they described the event in a manner that would discredit the British troops and gain support for there own Campaign to rid America of the British army. In my opinion even if the troops fired with out order they had plenty of reason to do so. I do believe that Thomas Preston was innocent,he couldn't and wouldn't have given that order to shoot because he was directly in the line of fire.
It can also be understood that the fiasco of the British ship could not have been a means for the declaration of war from the Americas towards the Axis powers. It was all in all a fair battle and attack set forth by the Germans, despite the loss of American lives. Another reason the war was a useless waste of American lives is due to the fact that the British had the strongest naval force of the time. Between Great Britain and France, there was no
If Nolan was acting as a military assistant to a more senior officer, he wouldn’t be critical of its commanders as suggested in Source 3, because it would be in his role to follow orders. Source 1 also disagrees that Nolan was to blame for the disaster of the Charge of the Light Brigade because it says that the Light Brigade opposed his theories on tactics so he could never have suggested it. This shows that it would have been almost impossible for Nolan to make the decision as others were against his ideas. However, Source 3 disagrees as it says that Nolan wasn’t to blame because it says, ill-suited to deliver Raglan’s order for the charge, suggesting that it was not in Nolan’s characteristics to follow orders from anyone else. This means that even if it was his responsibility to deliver the order he would not have done so because, as it also states in Source 3, he is headstrong so he is self-willed, portraying that Nolan is to blame for the disaster of the Charge of the Light Brigade by refusing to follow orders.
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
They are isolated paranoid bigots for many reasons, not just because they are reactionary. Populists were off by themselves, isolated from everyone else. They isolated themselves from the society actually decided their fate. The populists didn’t think about fitting themselves into the bigger picture. They were paranoid because they believe that history is just one big conspiracy against them and out to get them.
The other people were middle class people, who were more educated and wealthier than the worker class, but still minor against the tsar. Nicholas II wasn’t a good ruler: he avoided important decisions, neglected the importance of the policy and suppressed any resistance. He tried to crush any fears of a revolution by entering a war and consequently uniting his country, but his war tactics weren’t glorious. Russia’s people, the ones who accepted the life for many years, started to stir up, for example workers were striking, but their actions were brutally wiped out. As long as the tsar had his army he was unconquerable.
However it would have had a tremendous and awful impact on the United States society as it did represent the war as evil and criminal. The US Army always denied that the bombs they let off never hit civilian casualties; they stated that there was not many of them. The journalist's reports broadened, which was still furthering the credibility gap'. This is the state or condition of being dissimilar or unlike between the American military and government and what the American people had confidence in. The broader the gap is, not as much the people will believe.
