Write a letter home extolling the virtues of your weapon and formulating a tall tale.” This was the exact reading of the project that I was assigned, but there was a small problem, what is a yeoman?

Was the bloodbath that is the French Revolution doomed to happen? On the eve prior to the downfall of the Ancien Regime, there was no discernable mood that could have propelled the onslaught of it from the three estates; rather, certain groups of people, such as rural commoners, intellectuals of Grub Street, philosophes, members of the upper third estate, nobility, and clergy were concerned to varying degrees with the issues of taxation and social equality (privilege).

“Recalcitrant peasants [were] thrown into irons, they [were] forced to sit astride a sharp wooden horse, … they [were] given fifty strokes of the rod … [and] the serf who [arrived] late for his robot … [was] beaten to half-dead” (Document 4). This passage written in the perspective of the Bohemian government, exhibits the types of conditions that those peasants were forced to work under in 1769 after their rebellions.

Even though Japan and Europe were miles and miles away from each other, during the Feudal time, it almost seemed like they were neighbors. Each had its own interpretation of the many ideas they shared. Feudal Europe and Feudal Japan were similar as much as they were different, whether it was the codes that the warriors followed or what they wore to battle, the role of women, or even the weak figurehead kings. Both Feudal Europe and Feudal Japan had a certain code that the warriors had to follow,

During the Feudal Age, societies began to change from having a rich class and everyone else was below them to having a hierarchy of classes. The kings and emperors had the most power and the peasants had the least amount of power with other classes between kings and peasants. One of these groups in between were the knights.
