One of the first pieces of British literature recorded is the epic poem Beowulf. The poem concentrates on the life of the adventurous Geat warrior, Beowulf. Beowulf faces several challenges throughout the poem that depict him as a man who would go to extreme lengths to accumulate fame. While creating a legend for himself, Beowulf and other characters within the poem reveal several values of the Anglo-Saxons. These values include their belief in boasting, revenge, and loyalty.

Queen Elizabeth delivered an inspiring speech to the Troops about their honor and power over this astonishing war. Years later, Winston Churchill delivered a majestical yet powerful speech about the issue dealing with battle of Britain and the problems needing to be healed. Queen Elizabeth and Winston Churchill both delivered inspirational speeches to their troops and countries dealing with the battle of Britain. The Queen delivers her speech to the courageous group of men and women who fought this rigid, enduring war. Churchill delivers his speech to the House of Commons. While analyzing and juxtaposing these two speeches and their contrastive audiences; it is very clear to see the vivid diction and emotions used in their speeches.

This question focuses on the importance of the Second Reform Act in Disraeli’s rise to the top of the Conservative Party and his emergence as the leader. In order to decide on the relative importance of the Send Reform Act, I will also consider other factors, which impacted on Disraeli’s emergence, including the 1846 split of the Conservative party and the death of George Bentinck, Derby’s ineffective leadership, Palmerston’s death in 1865 and Disraeli’s determination and political skill.

Prime Minister Winston Churchill was faced with the war, and a country in need of moral. At the

People traveled for six weeks to three months to get to the colonies for a variety of reasons; usually the case was for wealth, religious reform, arrest, landownership, jobs, and a new life. The English though this venture was a high-risk investment because the settlements could fail, and all their money would be lost. There were two ways reducing the risk: joint-stock companies and headrights. Joint-stock companies were businesses that invested a portion of their money together for commercial trading and funding the

1640- The Establishment of the English Commonwealth. The colonists of Massachusetts deciding to declare their colony a common wealth even though they didn’t have the proper authority. The government in England did little to respond.

Many colonist were against the revolution for independence from England for many different reasons. Some reasons were that the colonies were too commercially dependent on England, that they had superior numbers and they also had a stronger navy against the colonies, and that the existing political system would breakdown and all of this would leave America prey to attacks from other foreign countries. Tomas Paine thought differently on the results of the revolution. His answers to the counter these arguments made by the colonist that were against the revolution was that, being commercially dependent on England, America will go to ruins, America does not need more people to fight but that the colonies need to band together and for England’s navy, not all of her ships are in use or ready to be in use and America can also build her own navy comparable in size. Lastly, Paine suggest that the colonies should adopt a representative democracy, which will give equal representation to all colonies.

Patrick Henry, a representative of a frontier region in Virginia, in his “Speech to the Virginia Convention” warns the representatives of the Virginia Convention that based on their previous feud, the British have shown that they are not ones to be trusted. At the time of the speech, the British had offered the colonist a deal to relieve taxes on the condition that they will fully support British rule and will contribute to the maintenance of English troops. Within the speech, Henry reminds the representative of Britain’s past tyrannical behavior and remarks on the past treatment they received prior to the time of the Convention. Along with an exasperated and satirical tone, Henry utilizes rhetorical appeals to persuade the representatives of the Virginia Convention to not accept Britain’s deal and to instead take up arms against them.

When evaluating his discourse, one must remember that Rogers’ primary duty abroad was enacting English foreign policy; this is something he managed ably. The text demonstrates intimacy with both William the Silent of the United Provinces and Elector

In addition, while Freda and Durrans both highlighted imperial issue was a “national issue transcending party politics”, Durrans argued that Disraeli attempted to “annex the movement to the conservative cause”. This is because, as Durrans argued, Disraeli criticised the Liberal party “for their subtle and continuous efforts for the previous years to ‘effect the disintegration of the empire.’” This view is furthered as Disraeli projected the conservative party as ‘a national party’. Therefore, imperialism was adopted as a ‘national cause’ in order to defend Britain against Liberalism and support “by every means her imperial sway”. This suggests and reinforces Durrans statement that Disraeli’s elevation of imperial policies was born of political

Henry John Temple, third Viscount Palmerston was guided in his conduct of foreign policy by his belief in free trade, his determination to keep the balance of power in Europe, and his dislike of autocratic governments. Lord Palmerston became one of the politicians most known for his liberal internationalism, sometimes called liberal interventionism. His determination to see his principles turned into action often led him to some severe policies, and consequently he was seen as caustic by his rivals, earning him the nickname ‘Lord Pumice Stone’.1 His resolve to support British supremacy in all foreign matters is exemplified through his early use of gunboat diplomacy. This is also seen through his multiple attempts to maintain the balance
