How Did The British Resistance To Boudicca's Revolt

Many of Agrippina’s strengths were also her greatest weaknesses. Her political ability and ambition were great strengths of character, as was her determination, but at times she aimed too high and was ultimately brought down by the very traits that had enabled her to achieve positions of power. Agrippina was able to become one of the most significant women of the Ancient Roman World, but at the same time she was considered manipulative, and was despised by many, including eventually her son - the Emperor Nero, who had her killed in the year 59 CE. Despite holding no official political status, and being limited by her gender, Agrippina reached unprecedented heights and helped stabilise the Claudius Regime, demonstrating her strength as a

Conflicts between Great Britain and the thirteen colonies created a feud, unknown to last decades long. Motives to pay back British debt came from the French-Indian War. Outcomes of the British victory over the war were bitter-sweet, as it aided British expansion in North America, though creating a giant debt due to war costs. The Jamestown settlement that started the thirteen colonies, funded by King James of England, spurred a new generation of American Natives. Though the British expected power and success of the idea of expanding English land to the colonies, the separation geographically, caused the by products of self-governing ideas and nationalistic beliefs among the colonists, overall weakening the influence Great Britain had on their

In 53BC envious of Caesar and Pompey's military victories, Crassus gathered an army and marched on Parthia. Unable to cope with the enemy's tactics, the Roman army was slaughtered and Crassus himself killed. This and the addition of the death of Julia (Caesar's daughter and Pompey's wife - the strongest personal link between the two) in 54BC effectively ended the triumvirate and in doing so "became the turning point in the history of the Free State and the ultimate origin of the Roman civil war of 49BC".

I believe the colonists were justified in rebelling against the British, because of the abusive king and British parliament, the taxes without representation, the laws without consent of colonists (such as the Quartering Act), and deaths of the colonists in brutal events, such as the Boston Massacre. All these events combined caused outrage throughout the colonies (such as the Boston Tea Party, and tarring and feathering of British officials), and sparked a rebellion that would change the history of the colonies forever.

There are many reasons why the American colonist decided to rebel. One cause is the British Parliament. They started The Stamp Act and The Sugar Act. They made and raised taxes on sugar and on every printed piece of paper such as stamps, licenses, newspapers and even playing cards. Another reason they rebelled is the French and Indian war. This war lasted from 1754 to 1763. Colonists were taxed to help pay for the troops fighting in the war.The taxes were often raised and colonists were angry because of this. The last reason of why the colonist rebelled is the Boston Massacre. The British were angered by the taxes from the government so they decided to protest and a battle broke out and several people were shot and killed.

On April 19, 1775, the citizens of the british colonies of america started a revolution against Great Britain by signing the Declaration of Independence. The decision to do so was supported by what the american people felt was a severe lack of freedom from the British government. the beginning of the American Revolution, the british colonies in America were very harsh on their citizens in terms of freedom. Citizens of these colonies were not allowed to verbally disparage the government and were forced to share religious beliefs with the Church of England. In rebellion, the american people took a stand against Great Britain, and declared themselves as the United States of America.

The British responded to the Boston Tea Party by passing four acts in the same year that were very harsh as punishment for the colonists. The four acts together were called to the Coercive Acts by the British, but the Patriots called them the Intolerable Acts and they consisted of the Boston Port Act, the Quartering Act, the administration of Justice Act, and the Massachusetts Government Act. However, the act that had the largest impact was the Boston Port Act which was the first of the Intolerable acts, passed on March 25, 1774. The Boston Port Act's purpose was to punish and intimidate the colonists by having the British Navy closing off the ports of Boston and Charleston. They didn’t allow ships to bring anything into the port except for

A new era of revolution was emerging on the American colonies and its mother country Great Britain. The American colonists were suffering by many cruel acts enacted by the British Parliament. These British policies were encouraging the Americans to feel as if their rights were constantly being violated by Great Britain. Not to mention these policies enacted only benefitted Great Britain. The colonists started to feel enslaved by the imperial policies enacted on them. It can be argued that most colonists at the time thought that the “British colonists lived on an empire of goods.” This quote means that the American colonists desired to be treated equally as the English settlement. The harsh policies and unequal treatment started to affect the colonies’ economic, political, and geographic positions which escalated the colonists’ resistance to British rule which also led to a stronger desire for a republic empire. The colonists desired to have their own sense of government and economy. They wanted to enact their own laws and policies.

“the events that led to her downfall, which happened alongside that of her son Nero, are extremely difficult to disentangle and contradictory versions have come down in the sources” Barrett

The imposition of taxes on the American Colonies by the British Government in the 1760s set in motion a series of action and reaction that led to a break between the components of the British Empire. Americans responded with much anger and public resistance to the Stamp Act in 1763. Much of this resistance was expressed in the colonies of Massachusetts and Virginia. In Massachusetts, the mobs not only threatened violence, but damaged and at times destroyed the property of officials who were involved in the Stamp Act’s implementation. Virginia on the other hand took legislative action denouncing the imposition of taxes on the Colonies by Parliament. It was Virginia’s example that was followed nine of her sister colonies when their legislatures made similar resolutions. These actions also lled to the formation of the Stamp Act Congress in October 1765 (Middlekauff, 2005). This Stamp Act Congress sent an appeal to Parliament and the King requesting the repeal of the Stamp Act with the justification that the costs associated with the act would prevent the colonies from purchasing British goods (Brown & Carp, 2014).

Organized colonial resistance began between the years 1763-1776. The policies of Britain toward their American colonies over this time period escalated tension between the two, and finally led to the rejection of Royal power by the colonies. The British policies caused this outcome because they threatened the colonists’ republican values. These were ideals adapted from the early classical Greek and Roman republics, as well as from laws established by the British. These core beliefs centered strongly on God-given inalienable rights, liberty of the people, and the belief that all should take part in the government. The combination of harsh British policies regarding taxation, settlement and everyday

Colonization can be looked on as both positive and negative, however it is mainly negative. The impact of British colonialism in India was ultimately negative because, it robbed India of freedom, left many jobless, and gave India no responsibility of their own government. First, India was robbed of its freedom. One way India was robbed of its freedom is India had no control over its resources where the resources went. “India became an agricultural colony of industrial England.”

There were many reasons as to why the colonists began to resist British control. Many of the acts that the British had implemented on the colonists had spurred enough momentum to form a revolution. However many challenges stood in the way to forming a strong revolution. One of the challenges that the colonists faced was that many colonists had different views on how to handle the revolution. Many of the colonists in the middle colonies who were untouched from the war opposed the revolution. Quakers and colonists of other religions, as well as merchants from the middle colonies opposed violence and instead favored the idea of discussing and compromising. Another challenge that the Colonists had to face was that there were many episodes of class

The Tervingi were left to starve because the Romans refused to give food and Lupicinus and Maximus, who were Roman generals, kept the money, which was to supposed to give food to the refugees, to themselves.

Throughout the years many historians have compilated and examined why Indian people were so desperate to gain back their independence from the British Empire during their rule over India, from 1612 to 1947. The reasoning can most definitely be found as the British discriminated against Indian people as they believe that they were inferior; it is no surprise that Indian people fought so hard for their independence. Throughout the British Raj, they placed and put forward unbelievably racist acts and laws which discriminated against Indian people. Which of course led to Indians to rebel against the British rule and which the British reacted with causing massacres. Explaining the nationalistic many India’s felt during the British Raj.
