...The War of 1812 In the War of 1812, the United States took on the greatest naval power in the world: Great Britain. The War of 1812 played a very important role in the molding of America as a nation, consisting of many battles, courageous leaders, and victory. The War of 1812 had an immense impact on the young nation’s future and was celebrated in the United States as “the second war of independence”. (“War of 1812” 1) The starting of this war had multiple causes. One of the causes of the war was that the Royal Navy outraged Americans by its practice of impressment, or removing seamen from U.S. merchant vessels and forcing them to serve on behalf of the British. Form 1803 to 1812, the British impressed some 6,000 American sailors. (“War of 1812 Timeline” 1) Another big cause of the war was that the British and the French were interfering with America’s trade system. Britain and France were both in conflict with each other and in an attempt to cut off supplies from reaching the enemy, both sides attempted to block the United States from trading with the other. From 1803 to 1807, the British seized 528 U.S. flag ships and France seized 206. One other cause was that Britain was encouraging Native Americans who were residing in America to revolt and turn hostile toward Americans. There were many incidents building up that fueled to the start of the War of 1812. First, there was the Chesapeake-Leopard Affair on June 22, 1807. This was the event in which the U.S...

...Declaration of Independence, but also the men and women that supported it, and the historical benchmarks that lead to America declaring its independence. While the writing of the Declaration of Independence was the pivotal point when America declared its independence from Great Britain, it was only a piece of a fundamental time when a nation endured great obstacles for the dream of true freedom. A time when taxes where raised by a king from across the ocean, soldiers ordered to quarter homes without consent, and patriots dying against an inevitable outcome. A time when colonists believed in the right of revolution, where they had an obligation to revolt and become independent from their tyrannical rulers. Many battles were fought and many lives were lost while Great Britain attempted to suppress the colonists in an attempt to encroach the colonists’ rights and freedoms, and prevent self-governance. Turning back in time to one major benchmark in February of 1765, Parliament passed an attempt to proclaim governmental authority over the colonies with the Stamp Act. This new law required all colonial residents to pay a stamp tax on every printed paper, in an attempt to fill a massive debt that Great Britain was in following the Seven Years War. Colonists were enraged and quickly protested against the unfair taxes that affected every resident, becoming the first...

...American Revolutionary War Helen Dunlap COM/150 29 January 2012 Lisa Pope The American Revolutionary War was an event that lasted from 1775 to 1783. This war has begun as a war between the Kingdom of Great Britain and the former 13 United British colonies, but ended in a global war between several European palatable powers. For about a decade, tension had been mounting between Great Britain and the American Colonies. The British government had passed a series of laws in an attempt to take control over the colonies. Americans had become so used to having control over their own local government so they objected to the new laws and protested against being tax without their consent. This was the sudden and unfair taxation of the colonists that led to the Revolutionary War. The American Revolution was the result of a series of social, political, and intellectual transformations in early American society and government, collectively referred to as the American Enlightenment. Americans rejected the oligarchies common in aristocratic Europe at the time, championing instead the development of republicanism based on the Enlightenment understanding of liberalism. Among the significant results of the revolution was the creation of a democratic elected representative government responsible to the will have of the people. However, sharp political debates erupted over the appropriate level of democracy desirable in the new government, with a number of Founders. Seventeen sixty-three...

Allied countries An alliance is an agreement made between two or more countries to give each other help if it is needed. When an alliance is signed, those countries become known as Allies. But allies changed in the war many times. The war divided Europe into two armed camps. On one side was the Triple Alliance made up of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy, and their enemy was the Triple Entente of France, Russia and Great Britain. As other countries began to join sides, the Triple Alliance became known as the Central Powers and the Triple Entente became the Allied Forces. The more states joined the alliances the more the war spread across Europe. In the beginning of February 1915 Germany declares a "war zone" around Great Britain.

Eventually all titles were abolished and the declaration of the rights of man and citizen was bestowed upon the people. The king however was just part of the problem, with foreign war and the fiscal crisis, and then inflation as well. The idea of having a democracy gave all men a change to be declared free and equal. The technology used during the revolution such as the guillotine, installed fear and served as a new style of execution. It became the center of revolutionary justice. The newly found state of bureaucracy built upon the old state expanded and centralized state power, as well as the people having legitimate political power as well.

...World War II Research The First World War started the decline of European power all over the world. At the end of the war, social equality, and joint defenses seemed to conquest however this optimism did not survive. The weakness of new democracy and the Great Depression pushed the continent back into war. Germany's Weimar Republic, born on November 9, 1918, in Berlin could not please the conquered people of Germany following World War I. German’s were fuming about the conditions of the Treaty of Versailles, which provided that Germany restore lands to other countries, admit accountability for starting the war, and return war criminals to the Allies. Large cash payments for the damages made were to be paid to the Allies. The Treaty of Versailles sternly limited Germany’s military. The Republic signed the treaty on June 28, 1919 from that day forward the German people viewed the Weimar Republic as a two-timing government for having signed a contract of terms they believed to be unreasonable and degrading. The United States stock market crash in 1929 was the final straw that set the world into a depression. A depression is a severe economic turndown marked by sharp declines in income and production as buying and selling slow down to a crawl (Kishlansky, 2008). The predicament of the United States rippled all the way through world markets. The U.S. Congress passed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act in 1930 which shaped an unfathomable toll against agricultural and manufactured imports...

...Nonetheless, he made new mistakes, above all, when he restored the system of currency valuation and brought about the collapse of the mine industry. As a result, the General Strike took place in 1926, and Churchill opted for his political exile. However, when Britain declared war on Germany (September 3, 1939), he made his comeback as First Lord of the Admiralty again. When the crushing defeats of Britain and her allies caused the resignation of the Prime Minister (Chamberlain), Churchill became Minster of Defense, thus, he had to deal with the war issues. Churchill was pressed to negotiate peace because England had lost her main ally (France), but he decided to continue fighting without invading the European continent. Eventually, that was the best decision since later on the allies (US, Canada, England) landed on France (June 6, 1944) and defeated the Nazis forces. After that, there were many battles and Churchill led the allies to victory. In conclusion, Churchill reflects some of the most important characteristics that were key to lead England to the summit of the world. For example, perseverance, pride, boldness, forwardness, enthusiasm, cleverness, leadership, humility and, in crisis, a good deal of...
