Bismark and German Terrority Expansion

The German Peasants’ Revolts were a series of revolts occurring from 1524-1526 in which peasants ran amok throughout the German states, with some groups converging on the town of Memmingen, Swabia, to form a Peasant Parliament and voice their grievances in the Twelve Articles of the Swabian Peasants. The revolts were caused by religious teachings and abuse inflicted by lords, and were responded to with support, as well as condemnation.

The first underlying and precipitating cause of the Hundred Years’ War was that England and France were too closely proximate emergent territorial powers. Another cause of the Hundred Years’ War was that Edward III of England was a vassal of Philip the Fair of France, and therefore held several sizeable French territories as fiefs.

This will include German and British moral, German economy, its effect on the outcome of the Eastern Front and the results of the preparation for D-Day. Overall allied bombing did not have a significant impact on the outcome of the war as for the majority of the war bombing techniques and technology were primitive and so had little effect. It only became a threatening tool latter on in the war, when the allies had effectively won.

     In the early 1600’s England need money once again, and this time it decided to by settling the new land to the west of them. Instead of actually funding

France, England, Belgium, and other countries took large sums of land from Africa in order to become powerful in both land and profit. The objective of this would be to let other European countries know how they were exceeding in land and profit, as a whole country. To exceed better than other countries exhibited who bore the most power. For the Europeans, power was a God-given gift, in which whoever had most power was the best. Which is why countries fought in a vicious manner: for their national pride.

After winning the French and Indian War, King George II decided that it was time to tighten Britain's control over the colonies. There were several reasons for this, one was because the Indians still posed a threat to the British government and second, the French and Indian War which lasted seven years had cost Britain a lot of money. The King wanted the colonies to help pay for all those expenses.

Throughout the 1600's, Europe was plagued and corrupted through bloodshed during outbreaks of war amidst the country. Not only did countries seek war, but they wanted to expand their territory for their people. To be the most prominent empire in the history of the world along with housing the best military forces was the common goal of all European countries during this time . The English wanted to overpower both the Spanish and French who were both the fiercest rivals. The Spanish were the first to establish a complete territory in the new world with the settlement of Florida, this pressured England into expanding in North America as well. These countries were both superpowers, with incredibly strong militaries, the intense battle for new

The wars going on throughout Europe through this era were claiming territories through conquest, marriage alliances, or inheritance agreements on the

The monarchs would use their newly developed armies and technologies to claim their sovereignty and legitimacy. They fought in the war to claim new lands to gain expansion and revenues. In the end, the expansion and revenues would cause the monarchs to develop selfhood. Several European countries devoted to direct taxation and funding from the banks. The monarchs would put harsh taxes on frequently used items in order to make money. The smaller form of government was also taxed in order to raise revenues. Europeans countries also industrialized products to bring in high volumes. Even if the margins were low for these products the ability to produce vast amounts, in essence, caused greater profitability.

The sea voyages that took place during the fifteenth century were a detrimental component that impacted and connected the New World and Europe together. The latter half of the fifteenth century saw the rise to many new monarchs, located in “France” (Duiker and Spielvogel,419), “England”, and especially “Spain.” Characterized as new monarchs by historians, the central purpose of many of these European leaders was their eagerness to “obtain new sources of revenue.” Many of the new monarchs believed that the further they expanded their authority the more revenue they could obtain allowing them to have “increased royal power” in Europe. This was the exact motive behind King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella’s sponsorship

Spain was bathing in profits from what the New World had to offer. So in 1606the Virginia Company of London was organized and sponsored the Virginia Colony. Organizers of the company wanted to expand English trade and obtain a wider market for English manufactured goods. They naturally hoped for financial profit from their investment in shares of company stock. Queen Elizabeth played an enormous role in motivating the English peoples. She herself was secretly a financial backer to Sir Francis Drake. The defeat of the Spanish Armada was a significant event. Not only did England gain control of the Atlantic sea lanes but it also sparked a sense of patriotism. Spanish expansions in the New World were actions that needed to be limited. In a way, many also attempted to colonize out of spite; to establish England's greatness.
