From then on party leaders were erratic and kept changing, meaning there was little stability in the Conservative party, which made them vulnerable to attack. After Peel was beaten in the Corn Laws crisis, many strong leader figures left with him such as Gladstone. This meant the party was left with the back bench aristocracy who were not all that interested in the wellbeing of the party and let it deteriorate. This was not at all the only problem that the conservatives faced. The truth was that their policies simply did not appeal to the majority of the voting population any more.
But Caesar never thanked him at all. It was his weakness and his personality that deprived him of his good reputation. So although Julius Caesar was an outstanding military commander and his reputation preceded him, he wasn’t a good leader especially due to his ambition and his personality (along with his weakness0. He was corrupted and wanted absolute power for life, and that made him an awful
Explain how far the views in Source 2 differ from those in Source 1 in relation to Charles’ personality. Charles was a different ruler compared to his father…Source 1 suggests that Charles was ‘cold, withdrawn and shifty’; similarly, source 2 also suggests that Charles was a ‘cold, formal figure’. Therefore, this suggests that Charles was not very confident and was shy which also led to him stuttering a lot. The stutter made it hard for Charles to communicate therefore making people think he was ‘withdrawn’. Source 2 also suggest that Charles ‘proceeded even when a policy was arousing great opposition’ which also agrees with Source 1 that suggests that Charles ‘saw no need to explain his action’ therefore suggesting that Chares lacked political judgement as he was very inflexible which many people around him found difficult to work with, ‘unworkable’ which led to a problem.
Source 2 agrees that he had a lot of power of the nobility as he ‘shakes them by the ear’ this quote show that Skelton was taking the mick out of the nobility for not standing up to Wolsey which shows the amount of power he had over them but also that the nobles did actually fear Wolsey. This therefore lowered his popularity as he was inconsiderate and treated the nobles crudely. Source 1 and 2 also agree that Wolsey saw himself as king. In source 1 it states ‘he
America later entered the war on the side of the Allies in , despite their efforts to stay neutral. America entered WW1 for three reasons, German submarine warfare, the Zimmerman Telegram, and economic interests with Britain and France. America entered WW1 because of German Submarine warfare. U.S ships traveling to Britain were sunk and damaged while traveling to Germany because of German announced unrestricted warfare against all ships
The Treaty of Versailles 1. Woodrow Wilson did not get exactly what he wanted from the treaty but his main term he wanted was the League of Nations, which he did manage to get. Wilson would be displeased with most of the terms of the Treaty because he thought they where far too harsh and thought it would cause Germany to want revenge. Wilson did not achieve many of his aims apart from starting up the League of Nations. Hardly any of Wilsons fourteen points actually happened so Wilson didn’t seem to achieve his aims.
Henry Tudor was a well known contender for the throne and was in fact planned by Richard III to be murdered but it was either Richard III’s fate or luck that made Henry Tudor slip away from him. But a much more evident reason is that Henry Tudor was the least of his concern. For the reason that immediately after putting Buckingham on trial and ending the revolt by rebels, he turned his attention towards the war against Scotland. He injected high funds into the campaign to go all out and win the war despite James III of Scotland’s desire for peace. It was undoubtedly unnecessary but for Richard III it was a mere opportunity to prove his credentials to the public and regain their support.
Writing Assignment 2 In Woodrow Wilson's “War Message” to Congress on April 2nd 1917, he conveys to Congress the situation with Germany at that time and how he felt that America should step in and correct the wrong doings of Germany. At that time, Germany had declared that any ship coming into port with any of Germany's enemies would be taken out by submarines. This would include ports in Great Britain, Ireland, and western Europe. Living up to their own claim, innocent American lives, as well as innocent men and women on other ships coming to port, were taken out by these submarines. Wilson claims that this was in direct violation of the International Laws and he goes on to say that Germany's action are a declaration of war against the
The conflict that helped provoke the civil war was the feud between Percy’s and Neville’s. Henry VI did little or nothing to solve these matters, therefore noble families were forced to choose sides, as the bitterness between them meant they could not fight for the same cause. It was Henry’s inadequacies that allowed these disputes to gain such a high level of importance as he did little to stop them, and did nothing to punish the nobles who were out of line. Henry’s poor military leadership is another reason for the outbreak of the civil war. He failed to live up to his father’s great military reputation, which caused most critics for his
And he's ideals was a major influence in America going to war. Wilson was ready to take the opportunity of this major war and push his ideals of democracy and independence for the many nations of Europe. Although the League of Nations would fail to pass the U.S. Senate and only would eventually fall apart his ideals would live on and push the country to war in the name of democracy. And that is why Wilson's idealism was one of three main major influences in America's push for
