The main reason for Conservative dominance in the years 1951 - 1964 was due to Labour disunity. (45) Labour's disunity was one of the reasons which help explain the dominance of the Conservatives in the years 1951 - 1964, however, there are various other reasons which also contribute to this. For example, the end of austerity, role of Macmillan, postwar consensus etc. Some historians will argue that the reason for the Conservative dominance was because they got lucky with their timing as austerity had needed and Britain was just beginning to recover its economy and living standards were rising when they came to power. For instance, more and more people were owning cars, men's wages had risen from £8.30 I'm 1951 to £15.35 in 1961, rationing was ended in 1954 and farmers were making profit.
Ethical dilemma: Sarah has been trying to conceive her first child for quite some time and her wish has finally been granted. During her prenatal visit her physician did some blood work and came back with positive results of her child having Down syndrome, and tay-sachs disease.

I will be arguing that the achievement of the Attlee Government were remarkable. The sources which I’ll be using show the impact that the Attlee Government had on Britain. From my own knowledge and also the sources, I can show that the achievements of Attlee Government were remarkable as it helped the people of Britain live much better lives. On the contrary it can also show that the achievements weren’t remarkable as it had created many problems for the country. Source 4 is suggesting that since the Attlee government had come into power sorted out many problems in Britain.
Did Clara Barton get married or have children? At what age did Clara Barton die and how did she pass away? Other readers will be quite surprised when reading about this because they may not know that Clara was a teacher before becoming a Civil War nurse and founder of the American Red Cross. At the age of 17 Clara had a free school in New Jersey for students, which was not a usual thing for NJ. The school grew from six to 600 children and with this success, it was determined that the school should have a man in charge and not a woman.
Du Bois’ ethnicities included African American, French, Dutch, and Indian. W.E.B Du Bois was the first African-American to receive a Ph.D. at Harvard University in 1895. 3 Du Bois mainly stressed the idea of social and economical equality among the African-American community, which was very different from Washington’s view. He highly stated that the “talented tenth” theory should be given access to the mainstream American life.3 His “talented tenth” theory was first introduced in 1903 and mainly focused on helping the need for higher education to create leadership qualities to the most needed 10 percent of African-Americans.5 W.E.B Du Bois was also an important contributor to help co-found the National African American Colored People or NAACP and became the association's director of research and editor of its magazine, The Crisis.4 Overtime W.E.B Du Bois developed into a skilled historian , poet, and
English Successes in Foreign Policy in the Period 1511-1525 did not outweigh the failures. However in the years 1511-1521 did not outweigh the failures however if you include the later years, including the 2nd French war and the events that followed after 1521, foreign policy was a failure for Henry and England. Despite this the early years showed promise for Henry with the successes outweighing the failures. An example of this is demonstrated in Source 4 where it describes the Treaty of London as “The Greatest Triumph” for England during Wolsey’s time in power as the King’s right hand man, where he arranged for twenty rulers to sign a treaty of perpetual peace in 1518. The source also goes on to describe Wolsey’s successes of the Field of Cloth of Gold which most pleased Henry as well as the meeting with Charles V at Sandwich and Gravelines in 1520.
One of the most famous dates in history, 1066, is the year William the Conqueror invaded and conquered England at the Battle of Hastings. In 1066 The Year of the Conquest, by David Howarth, Howarth draws from a plethora of contemporary sources that provide details of major leaders and their possible motivations for the conquest of 1066. Some historians say the successful Norman conquest of England was a highly probable outcome, while others, like Howarth, argue it was a fluke. A fluke can be defined as good luck, or a stroke of luck. Based on Howarth’s 1066 The Year of the Conquest, and a number of other primary and secondary sources, there were many possible causes for William the Conqueror’s invasion of England which all suggest the outcome of 1066 to be a fluke.
