Once in power Hitler quickly established himself as dictator. He started hauling off thousands of anti-Nazis to concentration camps. The economy, the media, and all cultural activities were brought under Nazi authority by making an individual’s livelihood dependent on their political loyalty. His desire was to establish German rule over Europe and other parts of the world. He realized that this would lead to a European conflict and so he started his plan to conquer Europe by invading Poland in 1939 and started World War ll . The war started off good for the Germans but once the United States entered the war they started to lose. As time passed, defeat became more certain, but Hitler refused to give up. Finally with all of Germany overrun by Allied

Moving along, the Parliament automatically felt more dissatisfied with their relationship. The parliament detested Charles I because he believed the parliament was a “waste of space”. Importantly, he would refuse to converse with parliament for any government issues but use them if money was desired. These disagreements lead to the civil war. According to our class lecture, “The king must go to parliament to get money to start an army and gets rejected so he closes the parliament and declares himself the single ruler of parliament and this tactic fails because community respects the rules of the parliament. Charles is forced to flea and forced to have an army. Charles has a large army and the dismissed parliament must also raise an army. As a consequence of farmers and artisan of that English class is radicalized” Charles ruled the Parliament government by putting taxes on ships and other products to use for army purposes. When Parliament was not on board with the new taxation, while the king starting arresting members of the parliament madness broke through and civil war took place. Parliament decided to create an army on their own to defeat the king, which they were successful. They put the king

February 2nd 1689 William and Mary were crowned as the first ruler where two people equally share the power. (Stuart) That year the English Bills of Rights were written which basically limited the power of the monarchs and that there are limits to what the King or Queen can do.

One of the most important battles of the Revolutionary War took place on September 28, 1781, in Yorktown, Virginia. The Siege of Yorktown was the last battle in the war against Great Britain.

With a fleet of over 17,000 French and Continental men against General Lord Charles Cornwallis and his 9,000 British men (The Battle of Yorktown).

The battle of Quebec during 1775 is one of the many battles that took place during the American Revolution. It is a famous battle that at the time seemed to diminish the hopes of the Americans to force Britain out of America. The American rebels were split into two armies that were to head up from opposite sides of the Montreal/Quebec area and force the British out of that area so they could take over. The main reason the Americans wanted to gain control of this area was in hope that the French Canadians would join the American revolution, and help send the British back across the Atlantic Ocean. Britain could not hang onto Montreal, but they easily hung onto Quebec and they forced the American army to back off and after that night, the American forces never made an effort to try to take control of that area again. One man who was part of the American forces at that point was Benedict Arnold. He is known as the biggest traitor in American history, but he is an important face of the American Revolution at this time. “In 1780, Arnold deflected to the British, and his change from Patriot to traitor is one of the most compelling narratives in American history.” His journey through the forests of Maine leading up to the battle of Quebec is a story to behold and when one begins to understand the story of the journey, then they will realize that the long and hard trip to the destination is a huge contributor to the reason why the rebels lost that battle.

Rulers of European countries during the 17th century had almost unlimited autonomy over their respective countries. They were the head of government in all respects, and all decisions were eventually made by them. However, along with this autonomy came responsibility in the form of the people. If the decisions of these rulers did not improve the country, the possibility existed that their power would be either curbed or taken away by the people. As ruler of England in the early 17th century, Charles Stuart believed strongly in absolute power and a king’s divine right to rule. He believed that a king was given his power by God and therefore had no reason to answer to the people. The Parliament in England at the time

This battle was considered the turning point of the Revolutionary War, the French were looking for revenge for the British from the previous war that the French had lost, so they were secretly giving money to the Americans to help them win the war. It was Washington´s time to prove that he can keep his place as a general because plans were set in place for there to be a new general named, Horatio Gates, to take his place. The money and supplies helped the Americans tremendously this was a huge part of why the Americans won the battle. After the Americans won this battle they announced that they would fight with the Americans in the war. This gave the americans a huge advantage and now the British lost many resources than before, another reason

The British were smart and got ready for the war but the French were not. The British had found out that their general James Wolfe had found à small cliff. So the British stealthily sneaked downriver to their general. In the morning the British had assembled their entire team and got ready to fight. The French did not think the war all the way through. Their general had made two major mistakes that had cost them the battle. The French troops got all confused and fired very early. This allowed the British to make the counter-attack and then take control of the Quebec. Although the British killed the French general Montcalm, the great British leader James Wolfe had also been tragically killed.

King Charles I’s reign was unsuccessful, because he was unprepared to take on Scotland, England, and Ireland, each with its own political and legal structures. He was under the influence of bishops, priests, and friends who pulled him different directions in regards to war, religion, and economy. King Charles I’s was foolish and failed to rule England with an absolute monarchy, because he formed poor relations with the Protestant majority of Parliament, he raised and created new taxes, and he lost support of Scottish nobility.

Jacobites rising 1715 and 1745 was Charles Edward Stewart attempting to regain the British and Scottish throne, there were several attempts of returning the Stuarts to the throne but the closest to succeeding was between 1715and 1745. The essay will look at the numerous factors that contributed into why the Jacobites cause failed.

The English gave the Scottish plenty of time to negotiate, but the Scottish, led by William Wallace, were prepared for battle. Well, actually, they were very out numbered, and could have easily lost this battle. Instead of winning by force, William Wallace was determined to outwit the English.

The First Jacobite Rebellion in Scotland in 1715 was organized by Jacobites with the purpose of returning the British throne to the House of Stuart. People across England were stressed with the fact that the Hanovernian government was persecuting individuals who previously held important functions in the territory and considered that it was essential for them to act in order to remedy things. The House of Stuart had provided Scottish individuals with preferential treatment and these people were thus inclined to get actively engaged in assisting it as it devised a strategy to regain its power. The First Jacobite Rising were the result of several years during which the House of Stuart was left in exile and many upper class individuals in England were oppressed by the House of Hanover.

After Charles the second died his brother, James the second gained the throne in 1685. His main objective was to re-establish the Roman Catholic religion in England. The people of England were mostly of a Protestant religion and they did not want to change their ways. Oddly enough
