Similarities And Differences Of Philip II And King Philip I And Japan

Philip The Third found himself in a position of great power and responsibility and was not prepared to handle it. However, he ended up making many decisions that rebuilt Spain to its former glory, and Spain was able to maintain peace and prosperity during his reign. He made many mistakes by giving his power to the nobles and spending large amounts of money on pointless wars, but ultimately he was an effective leader and Spain was able to maintain its power under his

Phillip, though a great ruler, did not allow his actions to be governed by necessity, but rather his religious ambitions. Phillip, "His Most Catholic Majesty," was very serious about religion. When the Dutch, within his empire, began

The current dictator of North Korea is Kim Jong Un. Although it is not confirmed, it is believed that Kim was born in the early 1980’s and is in his early thirties. (Kim Jong UN Fast Facts Cnn Libary.)On December 31, 2011, Kim became dictator after his father, the previous dictator, Kim Jong il, passed away. This shows that Kim quickly rose to power as a dictator at a young age. Under Kim’s rule, North Koreahas carried out 5 nuclear tests in less than six years. ( Business Insider) This is an important point because Kim’s use of nuclear bombs has caused panic and fear throughout the world, including the United States. These are a few different ways Kim Jong Un Is

North Korea’s economy is very different then the United States’ economy. Even though one dollar in American money doesn’t seem much to us Americans, it is worth nine-hundred dollars in their currency. North Korea’s main sources of income are military products, machine building, electrical power, chemicals, mining, metallurgy, textiles, food processing and tourism. North Korea’s overall condition of the economy is not good.

In addition, there were many domestic and foreign policies Philip II created during his rule in power. One policy he created was against the Muslims. As of the year that he created the policy, he lost half of the strength of his navy from losing wars with the Turkish Empire, as talked about before ("Philip II"). While attempting to repair his navy back to its full strength once again, the Muslim pirates attacked Spain. Prisoners were taken, but King Philip was able to bring back his navy, but soon enough, the Turks attacked again and it was looking very poor for Spain at this point ("Good King Philip?"). After many more small wars, both sides were left with very little military presence, so Spain and France signed a truce. Philip II also created a two-fold policy: “He sent ministers to Portugal to build up support for him being king which would have meant Spain absorbing Portugal into her kingdom” (Trueman). He also created a very large army, also stated above. The noblemen of Portugal supported Philip II, and also clearly hoped to get rewards for their support. Nearly all of the problems Philip II faced were results of his policies and problems that were soon to be fixed.

Also the lack of jobs has led to the majority of the people to be below the poverty line. And the ones with jobs do not get paid much or at all due to government corruption. For example, “Men are forced to work long hours for the government, often without pay, and those that don’t show up for work risk imprisonment”. Which has led to men working worthless jobs and women becoming the breadwinners of the families but still not having the same respect as men. The North Korean government is forcing these men to work for free while their families have no food to eat. Brainwashing and propaganda are also major aspects of the regime to keep the people scared of the world outside North Korea, namely the United States, Japan and South Korea. As shown, “Ak (evil) may be the single most commonly used word to describe Americans. The derogatory term nom, similar to calling someone a bastard, is inevitably attached to the end of any word referring to Americans”. Children from a young age are taught to refer to Americans in such manner to install fear in them to always distrust Americans and their aid. Americans are the worst of the worst type of people, according to the Kim regime, because they prevented the reunification of the two Koreas. Followed closely behind by the Japanese, since there is still resentment from the Japanese colonial rule. South Korea is not as

North Korea is known to use misleading propaganda to appear as a great and power, well-built country when in reality its people are suffering greatly. The leaders know they are in the wrong yet will not admit it and seems to not truly care so long as they are powerful militarily

King Philip II used centralization in order to tyrannize the Dutch by making his support invaluable and his authority present at all times through those he hired in government positions, but a much more harmful tactic of oppression the Spanish used was the maltreatment of Dutch Protestants. To further explain, the main way that Dutch Protestants were oppressed was through execution as, for interpreting the Bible in their own way, Protestants were deemed as heretics and often burned to death (Ward np). Furthermore, in 1556, after Heresy Edicts were pronounced invalid in the Provinces, King Philip sent 10,000 soldiers to the Provinces where the Council of Troubles, led by the Duke of Alva, arrested and executed thousands on the grounds that they were committing treason for supporting Protestantism (Parker 3, Block 41-42). Even

During Philip as emperor there were many government problems this was caused by the declaration of Independence the result of this was the Dutch Republic was created in 1581. Philip also organized naval expedition of declaim England. In Philip’s first 20 years of govern he preserved peace with western Europe. Philip faced major naval war with the Ottoman Empire in the Mediterranean then Philip faced rebellion and war in the Netherlands.

As head of the government of Spain he believed in the divine right of monarchs and used this to order murders. Philip developed a system of self-government with viceroys answering to him. He came to power when his father retired in 1556 and he was next in line. He was the most powerful monarch. He helped the Catholic Church persecute Protestants during the Counter-Reformation. Philip was ruler during the time of the economic decline of Spain. He saw his nation fall into bankruptcy and its terrible decade from 1588 to 1598. This included the disaster of the Spanish Armada. During his rule the Spanish attained there greatest power, extent, and influence.

King Philip has many loyal followers, including myself because of his devoutness to the Lord and Catholic Church. The emergence of protestant churches has threatened our the Holy Roman Church, and King Philip has done everything he can to keep the Empire under control such as organizing the Spanish Armada and strengthening the Inquisition. As you all remember, the Dutch rebellion was a dark time for us all, but with the power of God, our King restored the

In North Korea, the people believe in the principle of Juche, which simply translated means self-reliance. The three main pillars of Juche are political independence, economic self-sustenance and self-reliance in defense . As such, the North Koreans do not want to have to rely upon any other country for food. Therefore North Korea desires to grow most of their own food. As a result they over farm portions of their land which will eventually lower their crop production. If the North Koreans were willing to trade with other countries, they would instead focus their efforts on mining since ore deposits are abundant

Understanding how North Korea as a country defines itself in a changing world. Where do they derive their customs and practices, political standings and military power? Define North Korea’s history leading into the modern age and define its culture and characteristics and how they interact with the world today. Understanding a subject as broad as the term culture begins where the culture began with the birth of civilization and the people that influenced it. There are many factors that play a role in the shaping of a nation none so much as turmoil and conflict and the Korean peninsula saw its fair share for the better part of a millennia. A complete statistical breakdown of North Korea shows a struggling nation that strongly depends on

North Korea appears on the international stage as a country existing beyond the world we all know. It isolates its citizens from the rest of international community and does not obey any rules determined by international law, but requires respect and recognition. Moreover, North Korea is one of the countries that remains aggressive towards its neighbors and applies various terrorist techniques, i.e. illegal contraband, political terror and mass abductions of other countries’ citizens in its foreign policy. The reasons for which the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) behaves so unpredictably and irrationally are diversified. First of all, the DPRK as a country is managed very irrationally – regimes of Kim Il-sung and
