How successful were the Labour reforms of 1945-51 in meeting the needs of the British people? Throughout World War II, Britain was run by a government formed from a coalition of Labour, Conservative and Liberal politicians. During the war, the government became much more involved in people's lives. As part of the war effort, the government organised the rationing of food, clothing, and fuel. Most people were pleased with the government's intervention intervention and wanted it to go further.
When looking for books, online sources and movies, I never thought that the topic would be so political. Learning about the OWI for the first time really shocked me. It makes me wonder how many movies were written before the OWI could come along and change the script in order to boost morale. I attempted to look for controversial movies during this time that were "anti-war" but this task proved to be most difficult of all. Researching the information for my topic changed my outlook on early film.
Another reason feudalism lost power was the mercenaries that fought for the English king. After the first of the many treaties during the war was signed in 1360 by France, the English king did not want to release his unruly soldiers on his own land. Instead, they were loosed on France where they were free to loot and pillage as they pleased. Castles that belonged to lords took a beating as the mercenaries took them over and then sold them back to the lords for a large price. New weaponry made in the war made the king stronger against nobles.
Necker put a stop to the rebellion in the Dauphiné by legalizing its assembly, and then set to work to arrange for the summons of the Estates-General of 1789. He advocated doubling the representation of the Third Estate to satisfy the people. But he failed to address the matter of voting — rather than voting by head count, which is what the people wanted, voting remained as one vote for each estate. Also, his address at the Estates-General was terribly miscalculated: it lasted for hours, and while those present expected a reforming policy to save the nation, he gave them financial data. This approach had serious repercussions on Necker's reputation; he appeared to consider the Estates-General to be a facility designed to help the administration rather than to reform
When the deer came up out of the underbrush, although his son shot a lot he didn’t shoot the deer. Charles shot the deer’s gut, but he didn’t kill the deer and it moved back into the brush. So they trailed the deer by the blood on the ground. But the problem was that it got too dark to trail and they gave up searching the deer. That’s why Charles tells Bill he both got the deer and he didn’t.
Their work ranged from civilian work to serving in the war, but not in the fighting areas. Here are a few different areas of work that they could choose from: NCC (Non-Combat Corps) This was a group in the army that some conscientious objectors served in, they did not fight, nor did they kill anyone. Some conscientious objectors, however, still felt that this was not something they wanted to do because it had ties with the war. According to an online article, the NCC was called the "Non-Courage Corps" in an press release. (CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTION in Britain during the First World
These papers were loyally devoted. The Richmond Whig, cheered on the almost defunct Whig Party, the Vindicator endorsed secession, while the Enquirer endorsed the Democratic Party. In the book Four Years in Rebel Capitals: An Inside View of Life in the Southern Confederacy from Birth to Death, author T.C. Deleon examined “The South’s best wartime newspapers boasted the thinking of some of the sharpest minds in the region.” When the war broke out in 1861, some 120 newspapers were published in Virginia. Every town of any size boasted at least a weekly paper.
To go on, these same eye witnesses were never questioned by authorities until 48 hours after the incident occurred. This is a perfect example of how the Oxford police were indifferent to the crime and had no interest in pursuing justice. It is one thing to realize that so many townspeople would care so little, but it is the police’s job to care and effectively ‘protect and serve’. The racial killing of Marrow was not only grossly unnecessary but also morally lacking. It is hard to believe that even in the 1970’s so many people in my own town could so readily display such a disgusting side of human nature.
When Harold's forces came over the ridge, the Vikings were unarmoured, since they were only expecting a hand over of supplies and hostages. After marching approximately 180 miles in 4 days, the Saxon army arrived on the west side of the river. Despite being very tired, they were still ready to fight a long and bloody battle. The Viking army could not have been in a more disastrous position. They had expected the Saxons to come up a few days later, and so they were not wearing any armor, as they had left them on their ships.
The Metternich system (conservatives) gave the power back to the Nobility and the Clergy, leaving nothing for the bourgeoisie. After the congress of Vienna, the power was given back to the Nobility and the Clergy, therefore, extinguishing the idea of freedom-bringing change to Europe. Answer for Question #2: I think that these revolutions in 1830 and 1848 broke out in France partially because the French people are short-tempered and everything during these times happens in France first, but mainly because at those two times, the people of France didn’t like what their rulers were doing so they revolted. At the time of the 1830 revolution, the radical Charles X was in charge. He had complete power and with that power he forced Catholicism and raised taxes on the bourgeoisie to give money to the nobility and the clergy.
