England’s monarchy in the early seventeenth century boasted multiple problems. Kings sought to rule independently and did not want to ration their power to the nobles in Parliament. Due to the large amount of debt left behind from Elizabeth I’s rule, some English kings created new taxes or found new means by which to raise revenue without consulting Parliament. England notably started to decline beginning with the rule of James I. Succeeding James I was Charles I, and his policies propelled England to civil war.
Was the League of Nations a failure? The League of Nations is thought to be a failure by many, because of hard irony and limitation on military might. The League accomplished very little in stopping wars and conflicts while having very little power. Often they just shook fists at ruthless, evil dictators such as Germany’s Adolf Hitler and his conquests, without intervening. Another Major flaw was that “the country, whose president, Woodrow Wilson, had dreamt up the idea of the League - America -, refused to join it.” The league’s most powerful militaries Britain and France not only suffered casualties, but also economically as they were greatly in debt to the United States.
As stated previously, the Forced Loan existed to fund England’s wars considering that Parliament was reluctant to grant Charles further subsidies. Foreign policy had been dreadful for England since Charles had become King due to large scale operations such as the Cadiz Expedition failing miserably. As such, it was becoming increasingly more expensive to fund. Due to this Charles demanded more
Louis forced his overpopulated army into multiple wars that they did not have a possibility of success in. Tokugawa Ieysau began his rule of Japan in 1646 and ruled until his death in 1715. Tokugawa’s reign was unsuccessful mainly because of his military failures, and his oppression of farmers. Throughout the reigns of Tokugawa Ieysau , and Louis XVI, it is clear that both of their policies were unsuccessful when it comes to nobles, peasants, and military. Throughout Tokugawa’s reign, his strategy with the nobles was similar to Louis XVI.
Dukes were usually direct relatives of the king, however Suffolk and Somerset were not, where as Richard of York was. York being another big player in the nobility was upset by the favor to the other men and saw it as unfair. This action of Henry was not thought out clearly, it created friction between his main members in the nobility. The strongest powers begging to have issues with one another and spilt could be argued the bringing and most important cause
However one thing is certain, the victor will either be King Charles Stewart and his Royalist supporters or the men of Parliament with their supporters. It is despicable that Parliament refuses to accept the divine will of our great and noble King Charles. Parliament has been given a sound opportunity to listen to the will of our King yet they have chosen to ignore his will and as a result they have jeopardized our position as a force in Europe and worst of all they have committed high treason. Parliaments will regret allowing the five condemned Members of Parliament to escape justice; it is only a matter of time before they beg for forgiveness. We have a strong position in the West Country, the north and Wales and we firmly believe that the people will gladly support our sovereign in this conflict.
They were over 3,000 miles from home, leading to poor communication with supply lines and their leaders. America was unfamiliar territory for the English which was another major advantage the colonists had. It was difficult for the British to capture and hold territory because of how large America was. America knew the ins and outs of their own land, including where to hide and shortcuts. Another reason America had an advantage over Britain was that the English citizens were tired of war.
The English Civil War lasted from 1642 to 1649. The war was a result of a split between King Charles I and Parliament. Neither side was willing to back down over the principles that they held and civil war was the only way this disagreement could be solved. The country split into those who supported the king and those who supported Parliament – the classic ingredients for a civil war. It has been argued that Charles I was the main reason that war broke out.
Germany made a number of costly mistakes throughout the war, which in-turn led to their defeat in World War 1. Throughout the war, they had a number of opportunities to defeat the allies, but they failed to work effectively. Germany suffered defeats on the land and the sea; they failed to distribute public expenditure equally between the military and civilians, which led to unrest on the home front, which essentially led to their defeat in 1918. The failure of the Schlieffen Plan can be considered to be one of the most important reasons for the defeat of Germany in the First World War. Germany strongly believed that future wars would include short and rapid mobilization, which would be key for achieving victory.
Therefore he would not listen to other wise diplomats, such as Talleyrand. His ego and ambition got in the way of common sense and this helped to lead to his downfall and he tried the impossible, like invading Russia. Napoleon's method of enforcing his rule and ideas on all the countries he defeated also helped turn countries against him. This is because they did not always like the French way of living and this caused the people to feel bitter towards Napoleon. There are also a couple of larger factors that led to Napoleon's downfall.
