The Holocaust In The Diary Of Anne Frank
The Holocaust was important to world history between the years of 1939–1945 because it was a
tough time for jews and the whole world. Adolf Hitler was ordering all jews to get out of Germany
or be executed in death camps also called concentration camps. Many Jews went into hiding to
escape these tough times. In the play "The Diary Of Anne Frank" eight people that barely know each
other go into hiding in an attic for two years to escape these tough times. Anne Frank was born 1929
in Frankfurt Germany. January 1933: Adolf Hitler comes to power in Germany. Over the next few
months, all political parties, except the Nazi Party, are banned. Jews are dismissed from medical,

Blackbeard Piracy Facts
Edward Teach, known by the nickname Blackbeard, was born in England, Bristol, 1680. Bourgoin
(Blackbeard). During his time, an age more formally known as the"Golden age of Piracy" was in
place; this was a time when piracy was abundant in the waters of the Caribbean and North America.
Pirates during this time were legally allowed to steal a certain group of ships, namely Spanish ships
(Woodward). These type of pirates were named either privateers, buccaneers, etc. Blackbeard was
one of them. Specifically, Edward Teach was a common combination of legal and illegal pirates.
The ferocious pirate Blackbeard was defined by his time as a privateer, a true pirate, and his death

There were also seasonal patterns on Blackbeard's voyages. When it was warm, Blackbeard robbed
ships off the coast of Virginia and Carolina. He had a favorite spot to attack the ships, the Ocracoke
Inlet; he would anchor his ships in shallow waters that prevents other ships from attacking. As the
weather becomes colder, he sails to the south until he reaches the Caribbean (Blackbeard). The way
they attack the ships are by boarding onto the ship themselves. Usually, the people on the merchant
ship surrenders, but if they do resist, they will be promptly executed in a brutal manner (Minister).
When he is raiding ships, he would prioritize his crew's health first. The crew's health is so
important that he once demanded a box full of medicine from the governor of South Carolina or else
he would "murder all their prisoners, send up their heads to the governor, and set the ships they had
taken on fire." The government soon gave Edward a box of medicine (Jarus). This action is known

How Bibery And Persuasion Affected Scotland's Decisions?
During 1714 George Lockhart memoirs were published which blamed over 30 Scottish people of
accepting bribes from Queen Anne during the Union Treaty negotiations between both England and
Scotland in 1706. Robert Burns then later immortalised these events in his poem "such a parcel of
rogues in a nation" which claimed that Scotland had been "bought and sold for English gold". This
outtake has persisted so much that it was used for the subject of Christopher Whitley's seminal work
during 1994. This essay will look further into how bribery and persuasion affected Scotland's
decision during 1688 until 1707.

However, the Dutch and the English said that they wouldn't fund the venture so it was left to the
Scottish, both rich and poor, to raise the money that was needed. The first ship was set to take sail in
1698, they arrived at Darien having lost 70 people during the journey and many of them that did
make it were already sick and it went downhill from there because of the lack of food and the
attacks from the Spanish. Many native Indians felt sorry for the Scottish people and brought them
food but after seven months 400 of the Scottish people had died and many of them had diseases so
they decided to cancel the scheme. Unaware of the news, eleven more ships set sail in 1699 but only
one ship returned in total and only a few made it back home safe. £500,000 was lost which left them
almost bankrupt.

The Glorious Revolution Essay
The Glorious Revolution Some say the glorious revolution was one of the greatest landmarks in the
history of England. The glorious revolution is a very important event in history for multiple reasons.
It wasn't exactly a peaceful occasion but it was one in which no war of fight occurred. This was a
pleasant change for England at the time because they had been experiencing plenty of fights over the
throne and for once it was a relatively smooth transaction. After Charles the second died his brother,
James the second gained the throne in 1685. His main objective was to re–establish the Roman
Catholic religion in England. The people of England were mostly of a Protestant religion and they
did not want to change their ways. Oddly enough ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
He practiced absolute monarchy and the people of England strongly disliked him. As things
continued to heated–up between parliament and Mary's father James II, she married the Dutch
Protestant prince, William of Orange. William desperately feared an alliance between James II and
the Catholic French King. William and Mary were prepared to lead armed forces into England and
take over the throne. When James' II second wife gave birth to a son who would be raised Catholic
and be the heir to the throne, Parliament got worried. Seven members of parliament signed a letter
asking Mary and William to bring an army and drive out James II. William arrived at Torbay, on
November 5th 1688 ready to fight for the throne. He was a brave man, for James II's army was
double the size of William's army. Although it didn't matter because James II's army was deserting to
the other side, James II army had abandoned him. When William of Orange was welcomed into
London, James II fled to France in disguise. Parliament claimed that by abandoning his country, the
king had abdicated and the throne was now left vacant. On February 6th 1689 Mary and William
became King and Queen of England. Perhaps the most revolutionary part of the Glorious Revolution
was that the throne had been taken over without a shot fired. But what this truly meant was the
ending of absolute monarchy in England. Now rulers had to abide by the laws of their country as

As of in "King Lear," King Lear was worried about his kingdom being over powered and his
daughters causing his kingdom to go down to one having more power than the other. So, King Lear
stated, "to shake all cares and business from our age. Conferring them on younger strengths, while

A Diary That Affected The World By Anne Frank
Anne Frank wrote a diary that affected the world by showing she was a normal girl who wanted to
be her true self. Her diary was the only place she could really be herself (Frank 1). Anne's dream
was that her diary would one day become a book. She wrote that she wanted to be famous and to
help others. Her influence on World War II was based on her life experiences in hiding, and her
diary.
Frank's life was full of hard times and persecution. She was born on July 12, 1929. She received her
famous diary on her 13th birthday, the same day of her very first diary entry (Frank 1). It was
wartime 1942 in Amsterdam and Adolf Hitler was at his height of power (Byers 36). Hitler had
given Germany the scapegoat they had been looking for: the Jews. World War II was raging across
Europe, making its way toward changing the life of Anne Frank. The Nazis had taken much of
Europe and there was barely a place the Jews could go without fear of being persecuted. The Nazi
special forces, the SS Army, had taken away many of the Jewish families in Amsterdam and were
offering a cash reward to anyone who turned in a Jew. The Nazis isolated the Jews from daily life:
They only allowed the Jews to walk, gave them a curfew, banned them from swimming and going to

Palladian architecture is based on the symmetry and perspective of classical architecture,
particularly the temples of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. It was characterised by the use of
pediments and symmetry, and proportions that were based on mathematics rather than ornament.
"Palladian architecture is recognisable for its classical facades. Some of the defining features of
Palladianism include the use of Corinthian columns, decorative motifs such as masked faces and
scallop shells. Pediments used over doors and windows, both external and internal. Terms – free–
standing stones representing the head and upper torso of the Roman god Terminus, on top of a

William And Mary Rule 1750-1910
William III of Orange, Stadtholder of the United Provinces of Netherlands, King of England,
Scotland, and Ireland(ruled 1689–1702) was born in Netherlands in 1650, and died in London.
Queen Mary II of England, Scotland, and Ireland was the daughter of King James born on 1662 who
ruled from 1689 to her death, 1694 (William). These two monarchs ruled England, Scotland, and
Ireland together in what was called the William and Mary rule. Their rule resulted in the formation
of the English Bill of Rights, creation of a more restricted monarchy, creation of the Cabinet system
of governance, creation of the Bank of England, formation of national debt, and the spark of the war

This was was caused by conflicting backings of a king for Spain. The end of this war promoted

(Burkholder, Harris–William). It also helped disrobe the power of the Catholic church within Europe
and outside of Europe, which was a large development that gave way to further expansion of the
Protestant faith. The war of spanish succession was started mostly because of two factors, including
the Anti–French, Anti–Catholic agenda of Queen Mary II and King William III, and the
establishment of the national bank in England (William, Harris–William, Harris–Glorious). The
Anti–French, Catholic agenda of the joint rulers was of great importance as it stripped away the
power of the Catholic church and greatly promoted the power of the states themselves. The
establishment of the national bank was also very important as it was the first occurance of a debt
based economy(William). The creation of the bank allowed for vast expansion of the British
Military which consequently lead to the expansion of the British kingdom, promoting the formation

Freedom Of Religion In The British Colonies
The British Colonists traveled over into the New World for society to work out in their own favor.
However, this was not the case for these colonists; they carelessly came into the New World with the
intent of having their own freedom of religion, being culturally intertwined with the natives already,
and for their own overall independence economically . The British did not make a smooth
transformation into this New World when they first arrived over seas, they brought chaos not only to
the Natives but also the development of their colonies and themselves.
A plan for some of the colonists moving to the New World was freedom of religion, such as the
quakers (located in Pennsylvania) and pilgrims believed in the freedom of living off of your own
specific religion. The puritans on the other hand, settled in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629 ,
identified themselves as God's chosen pure angels because of their belief that they were born saved
into the world. They would also turn a blind eye to other denominations and focused on their church
to be an Angelic Catholic Church specifically. Which of course if you know anything about their

development of national sovereignty did Great Britain have the opportunity to rise through the

Under the Bill of Rights, Parliament would have a say over the direction the monarchy was taking
the country, that the royal power to suspend and eliminate laws was abolished, that the monarchs
were prohibited to levy taxes and the monarchy could not maintain a standing army in peacetime
without first going through Parliament (Glorious Revolution) . The addition of the Bill of Rights to
England's constitution pushed them forward into a political system not dominated by the interests
and whims of the monarchy. William and Mary not only changed the religious course of Great
Britain and the idea of divine right but also allowed the ideas of personal liberties and social
welfare, encouraged by the Enlightenment, to gain momentum. In addition, William and Mary
moved forward with their government by implementing new, modern economic policies which
placed more focus on the merchants of the time. While William and Mary were busy ruling the

Edward Taylor And Anne Bradstreet
Throughout this class we have read different types of literature from many different authors. Some
of the material I truly enjoyed and some of it not so much. I really enjoyed the Native American
literature that we started out with in the beginning of the semester. I think the Native Americans are
beautiful people who appreciated the land more than most. The Native Americans were smart people
who used short stories such as The Chief's Daughters and Coyote and Bear to warn their readers of
dangers or teach them moral lessons. I also enjoyed authors such as Edward Taylor, Anne
Bradstreet, and Thomas Paine. I did not like reading William Byrd's material, chiefly because he
was rude and spoke nastily of the Native Americans. It personally offended me that he thought their
belief of afterlife to be "gross and sensual".

always refer to God. Edward Taylor created a powerful analogy in his piece, Upon a Spider

Revolution : The Glorious Revolution
The Glorious Revolution that occurred in 1688 to 1689 was a bloodless revolution in England that
was a turning point in modern history. The true glory of the revolution was that it contained no
massacre and that a settlement by consent was reached on the religious and political differences that
had divided parties for ages. A thinker during the time, John Locke came up with new models and
inspirations for the evolving concept of government. Locke argued that power came from the
people, not from a divine right to royal rule. Kings should therefore be restrained by institutions that
protected the public interest, including certain general rights to freedom and property. Therefore. a
more democratic form of government known as a limited monarchy replaced absolutism and at the
same time limited its power by the 1689 Bill of Rights. The revolution established the supremacy of
parliament over the crown that set Britain on the path towards constitutional monarchy and
parliamentary democracy (Maurice, 2017). The king and queen became figureheads, when before
they were absolute monarchs. In 1660, when Charles II was on the throne, Englishmen were
uncertain about the Stuarts and suspected him of Papal tendencies and absolutists learnings. Charles
II did not adhere to Parliament since he had favoring alliances with Catholic powers in Europe.

The Enlightenment And The Glorious Revolution
The Enlightenment is said to have begun in the 1680's, the same decade that the "Glorious
Revolution" occurred, which crowned daughter of James II Mary and her husband Prince William of
Orange Monarchs of England. This turning point in English history can be considered part of the
Enlightenment due to the switch from an Absolute Monarchy to a Constitutional Monarchy and the
passing of the English Bill of Rights in 1689 after William's ascension to the throne.
The passing of the English Bill of Rights ushered in a new age for England, giving the power of the
Monarchy to the Parliament, and banning the Monarch from adjourning Parliament or going against
the opinion of its majority. The Bill lists that many tyrannical actions that had previously been made
by many kings, such as levying money and suspending/revoking laws were illegal without the
consent of Parliament (Document 3), essentially giving Parliament control of the direction of
English law. The English Bill of Rights was ratified by William in 1689, which directly stated
multiple times that the ruler's power was to be checked by Parliament, thus inhibiting them from
exercising full power over the people, preventing tyranny. He states in Document 2 that he and his

The Revolution of 1688
The Glorious Revolution, also known as the Revolution of 1688, refers to the events of 1688–1689.
These events eventually led to the overthrow of Catholic King James II and the ascension (of

England from 1685–1688, inherited a very strong position when he came to power. When James II
first came to the throne, he was not very well liked in the eyes of the people of Great Britain, simply
because he was a Roman Catholic King to an overwhelmingly Protestant nation. Like most
politicians, James made promises to protect the peoples personal beliefs. At the beginning of his
reign, James had promised to respect his subject's rights and liberties and protect the Protestant
establishment in the church. Despite these promises, James decided to advance the Catholic tenets
over the protestants. He did this by issuing dispensations to Catholics including the Test Act of

State, but only Parliament has the ability to make laws. This distribution of power originated during
the reign of the Stuarts. While absolute monarchs ruled the rest of Europe, the English Parliament
slowly forced the kings and queens to relinquish much of their power. However, limits on the power
of the monarchy were in place far before the Stuart dynasty. In 1215, King John signed the Magna
Carta and agreed to consult the Great Council, which later became Parliament, before raising taxes,
effectively giving Parliament the power of the purse. The conditions of the Magna Carta came into
conflict during the Stuart monarchy. Before the Stuarts, the Tudor family had good relations with
Parliament. When Henry VIII wanted to break away from the Catholic Church, Parliament passed
the Act of Supremacy and because of the many wars, he had to consult Parliament regularly to raise
taxes. After the Tudors, there were six Stuart monarchs, reigning from 1603 to 1714. James I did not
associate well with Parliament, unlike his Tudor predecessors. James, like many absolute rulers at
the time, believed he had a God given divine right to rule and thus did not appreciate Parliament's
role in his government. James and Parliament were in constant conflict over taxes and who had the
right to levy them. Parliament passed the Great Protestation, declaring it had freedom of speech and
superiority in

Is The Glass Half-Empty Or Half-Full?
Is the glass half–empty or half–full? An age old question that is more of a personality question
rather than just an opinion. Many people see the glass half empty, but should it actually be seen as
half–full? When someone faces any sort of conflict, they can approach it in many different ways.
Some methods work better than others, but one way has the most beneficial results. Facing conflict
with optimism inspires others, has health benefits, and is easier for the person to deal with the
problem.
Having an optimistic attitude inspires others to be hopeful. There are many resources that show
having a hopeful attitude makes people around them feel more comfortable. Winston Churchill

Essay on Adolf Hitler and The Nuremberg Race Law
Adolf Hitler was an Austrian man who fought in World War I (WWI) as a German soldier. After
Germany's defeat, Hitler tried to illegally take over the government. He was promptly arrested, and
was sentenced to five years in prison. He only served nine months. In that time, Hitler wrote a book
titled "Mein Kampf", whch translates to "My Struggle". In "Mein Kampf", he speaks of his ideas for
Germany's future, which he titled the "Final Solution". After his release, Hitler joined the Nazi party,
and a few years later, he controlled it. He slowly gained power in the German government, and in
1933, he was appointed chancellor of Germany. He eventually removed the position of president in

Hitler and the rest of the Nazi party created camps to hold, imprison, or kill the undesirables. In
extermination camps, people were herded into gas chambers where they would be gased to death
with Zyklon B. Auschwitz, one of the largest death camps, killed up to 10,000 people per day.
If an undesirable had not been sent to an extermination camp, they'd be sent to transit camps,
concentration camps, or labor camps. In these camps, they would do work to aid the war effort or do
hard labor, like digging ditches. Upon arrival, people were stripped of valuables or anything that
individualized them. They had numbers tattooed on their skin for easy recognition. People in these
camps were crowded, starving, and many had contagious diseases that eventually would kill them.
The prisoners were heavily guarded, and if they disobeyed, they would promptly be shot or taken to
a gas chamber. People were selected to move from camp to camp, and they would be transported in
crammped cattle cars. When arriving at new camps, they were often separated from family
members, never to see them again.

Henry VIII was having trouble conceiving a male child with his current wife: Katharine of Aragon.
Henry wanted the current pope to give him an annulment so Henry could marry Anne Boleyn.
Wolsey was unsuccessful in his attempts due to interference from Katharine. This led Henry to lose
trust in Wolsey and led to his eventual fall from grace and death in 1529. Cromwell was able to
distance himself enough from Wolsey that when he fell, he did not take Cromwell with him. This
left Cromwell in the perfect position to fill the space that Wolsey left empty. Through a series of
events, the king enlisted Cromwell to use his legal skills to convince parliament to create laws that
undermine the authority of the pope, allowing Henry to divorce Katharine without the pope's
permission. Henry VIII was wildly impressed by Cromwell success, Cromwell was granted the title
"Master of Jewels" and invited to the English court. This complicated situation is largely responsible
for Cromwell's initial rise to power. (MacCulloch, Borman

The lead up to the Second World War happened in 1936 when Adolf Hitler, Führer to the German
people, moved his troops into the demilitarised zone in the Rhineland, West of Germany. Once he
controlled the region, his next plan would be to annex Austria in 1938 and later in the same year,
Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia consisting of German minorities was also annexed by the Germans.
Britain and France accepted the 'Anschluss' of Austria as it was a German speaking country and the
Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia was also resolved by France and Britain at the Munich Agreement.
In 1939, Hitler broke the Munich Agreement with France and Britain leading to him occupying most
of Czechoslovakia. The last roll of the dice occurred when Hitler signed a non–aggression pact with
the Soviet Union, meaning that he could invade Poland in which he had no hesitation in doing so. As
a result, these actions triggered the beginning of the Second World War.
So why did Hitler believe that he was doing the right thing? That his actions were for the greater

What divided Whigs and Tories in the reigns of William III and Queen Anne (1688–1714)?
The early days of the new reign of King William III of Orange and his wife Queen Mary II were
overshadowed by uncertainty. Could James II hasty departure be treated as abdication? If so by
which means– mere physical absence or a violation of fundamental laws? And what kind of steps
should be made to ensure such monarchic contractual failures didn't occur again?

But their support was not confined to the countries gentry: the party garnered strong backing in
backward, agrarian regions as well as small market towns[9]. The Whigs were largely associated
with the nouveau riche: those who lacked aristocratic lineage but had acquired considerable wealth
within their generation, usually through their own exploits and endeavour. This included the
substantial number of merchants, financiers and monopolists that emerged during William and
Anne's reigns. The party was also strong in budding industrial areas and amongst religious
dissenters[10].
Although it may not seem like such on first inspection, the principles adopted by Whig and Tory
upon William's succession to the throne in 1689 followed much the same pattern as those adopted
during the Exclusion Bill crisis of 1678–1681. Just as in the exclusion crisis the Whig's stance
hinged entirely upon their religious beliefs. Like Charles II, James II and his newborn Stuart heir
were Roman Catholic. All Whigs were united by the unwavering belief that Roman Catholics,
regardless of their lineage, should not under any circumstances be in possession of the throne[11].
Such a scenario, in their eyes, would endanger Protestant religion, liberty and property. This
principle was not totally unshared by the Tories. However, in the case of William, it was severely
undermined by other staunch Tory beliefs– namely their belief in indefeasible hereditary succession,

Why did War break out between Scotland and England in the Reign of Edward I?
On the 14th of May 1264, the forces of Simon de Montfort, Gloucester and the Londoners were set
arrayed against the loyalist forces of King Henry III, Richard of Cornwall and Prince Edward (later
to become King Edward I). The loyalists suffered a massive defeat at this Battle of Lewes and
among those captured, aside from Richard of Cornwall and perhaps the King (Prestwich indicates
the unsure nature of the King's capture 46), were the northern barons (Scottish lords) of Balliol,
Bruce and Comyn. (Jenks 132) Prince Edward also became a hostage as part of an exchange after
the battle. These same men who fought together and were held captive by the de Montforts ... Show

One of these four advisors was John Balliol, father of the future King of Scotland. (Prestwich 26) It
is quite clear that, "[families] notable in Scottish history were also notable in England... The
Bruces... were a Yorkshire family, and the Robert Bruce who was Balliol's rival for the Scottish
crown in 1292 had served Henry III for twenty years and ended... as chief justice of the English
court of king's bench." (Miller 4) Given that such relationships so closely tied the English and the
Scottish leaderships war was far from anyone's agenda. However, during this time it was not
uncommon even for close relationships to digress towards war. Family lines were built with
strategic marriages to link families together, but they could just as easily lead to arguments and even
war, specifically resulting from such strategic partnerships (or lack there of).
Alexander II King of Scotland had been married to Joan, younger sister to Henry III, but later
married Mary of Coucy (daughter of a great French house) after Joan's death. This new marriage
offended Henry III, not least of all because he was trying to recover French land (Poitou) and gain
respect in continental Europe. (Powicke 586–7) To prevent war a new treaty was made giving the

In the 1600's the reign of James II in England with his emphasis on Catholic practices and the
censorship of mail motivated English Parliament to undertake a journey to the Netherlands in search
of new leaders by the names of William and Mary. Their arrival in England prompted James II to
abdicate his throne. This further propelled the period of William and Mary's reign otherwise known
the Glorious Revolution. Additionally, it put forth a new period of constitutional monarchy, religious
toleration, and peaceful succession in England. The Glorious Revolution of 1688 led to the
Enlightenment because, William of Orange promoted and protected religious toleration and a
constitutional monarchy. Furthermore, the majority of English Protestants agreed with William of
Orange's stance and allowed the Glorious Revolution to further inspire them as enlightened thinkers.
However, William was still heralded as a king and the people of England nevertheless portrayed him
an absolute monarch.
One of the main ways that the Glorious Revolution promoted enlightened thought was through
William and Mary's emphasis on religious toleration and constitutional monarchy. In, King William

The high–spirited, joyous–talking Louisa Musgrove, and the dejected, thinking, feeling, reading,

Anne is in utter shock to hear that these unlikely lovers are set to marry each other. During Anne's

Louisa is a foolish young girl who nearly killed herself by jumping off of a seawall. The discovery

A Brief Look at World War II
World War II World War II was the largest war and the bloodiest war that the U.S. has ever been
involved in. Forty to Fifty million people lost their lives during World War II. This was a war that
lasted for about six years and involved countries from around the whole world. The axis powers in
the war consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan. The Allie powers consisted of the United States,
France, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and to a lesser extent, China. It is said that unsettled
disputes from the first world war, World War I, is what was the main cause of WWII. Japan trained
men for the war starting at the age of nine years old. It is said that of all the Soviet men that were
born in the year 1923, only twenty percent survived the war. This means eighty percent of all males
died in the war. That's from one country, imagine how many innocent lives were taken during the
war. All because of one man, Adolf Hitler. The war stemmed off in early 1939 when German
dictator Adolf Hitler had intentions of invading Poland. Poland knew about this, so they went to
France and Britain for an alliance should Germany invade them. When Germany heard about this,
they decided it would be good to take out the Soviets because they didn't know if they would fight
on Poland's side or not. On August 23, 1939, Germany and the Soviets signed the German–Soviet
Nonaggression pact. This stated that once Poland was taken over, the country would be divided
evenly between the two power countries.

Causes Of The Glorious Revolution
The Glorious Revolution of 1688 was a time of enlightened thinking and establishing a new
principle of dividing power within the monarchy. With the emergence of philosophical thinkers,
such as John Locke, the idea of separation of powers and rationalism formed the foundation for our
modern use of a constitutional democracy. During this time period, James II was just expelled from
the throne, with William III and Mary taking over the throne. James II was a Catholic absolute
monarch who was religiously intolerant. James II violated the Test Act, which were a series of
English penal laws that served as a religious test for public office and imposed various civil
disabilities on Roman Catholics. He did this by giving government and university jobs to Catholics.
Fear of the Catholic monarchy led to the expulsion of James II, which then led to the beginning of
the Glorious Revolution. The Glorious Revolution was a time of unity within the English
Parliament. This Revolution established the principle that power should be divided between the
King and the Parliament, similar to a checks and balances system. This was established to ensure
that one individual could no longer oppressively rule over the monarchy. During 1688, James II was
just expelled from the position of ruler of England. Evelyn, a writer and founding member of the

of the material I truly enjoyed and some of it not so much. I really enjoyed the Native American
literature that we started out with in the beginning of the semester. I think the Native Americans are
beautiful people who appreciated the land more than most. The Native Americans were smart people
who used short stories such as The Chief's Daughters and Coyote and Bear to warn their readers of
dangers or teach them moral lessons. I also enjoyed authors such as Edward Taylor, Anne
Bradstreet, and Thomas Paine. I did not like reading William Byrd's material, chiefly because he
was rude and spoke nastily of the Native Americans. It personally offended me that he thought their
belief of afterlife to be "gross and sensual".

that my two favorites were Edward Taylor and Anne Bradstreet. Both of these authors are Puritans,
and it is easy to tell when reading their pieces. Puritans typically write in simple language, and
always refer to God. Edward Taylor created a powerful analogy in his piece, Upon a Spider

groups saw clips that created positive emotions, the third group saw images that were neutral and
produced no significant emotion, and the last two groups were shown clips that created negative
emotions. At the end of the experiment, participants who experienced positive emotions could think
of more possibilities in life; showing that positive emotions broaden the sense of possibility and
even open the mind up to more options. In her paper, "The Broaden–and–Build Theory of Positive

Essay On The American Colonies
The American Colonies for the past 20 years have become accustomed to living a thousand miles
from their sovereign, the King of England and Parliament. This separation from "monarchial"
control and power has created a tough and independent society, which although they believe
themselves to be subjects of the crown, has molded an experience and lifestyle unlike any found
within the "Crown's" realm. Subsequently, these differences in lifestyles bond both Mother Country
and colony on a path that veers from the typical empirical rule that has ruled the known world for
the last century.
The journal asks what possible reasons Americans could have to begin to quarrel over our identity
with the crown. We are not defiant because we simply have nothing else to do; rather we are defiant
because we have been stepped on countless amounts of times by "Parliament (specifically, the
House of Commons)" that insist that they are "the guardians of British constitutional liberty" only
because of their victorious efforts against the "tyranny of the Stuart kings of England." Yet, their
understanding of a constitution is so much more different that they continue the same practices of
the Stuarts.
Take, for example, the nonsensical use of authority to create laws that exerts extensive pressures on
American families, such as the passing of the General Writs of Assistance Case in 1761. The writ
allows British government officials the general right to search and seize colonist's private property

The Holocaust In The Diary Of Anne Frank

  • 1. The Holocaust In The Diary Of Anne Frank The Holocaust was important to world history between the years of 1939–1945 because it was a tough time for jews and the whole world. Adolf Hitler was ordering all jews to get out of Germany or be executed in death camps also called concentration camps. Many Jews went into hiding to escape these tough times. In the play "The Diary Of Anne Frank" eight people that barely know each other go into hiding in an attic for two years to escape these tough times. Anne Frank was born 1929 in Frankfurt Germany.

During his time, an age more formally known as the"Golden age of Piracy" was in place; this was a time when piracy was abundant in the waters of the Caribbean and North America. Pirates during this time were legally allowed to steal a certain group of ships, namely Spanish ships (Woodward). These type of pirates were named either privateers, buccaneers, etc. Blackbeard was one of them. Specifically, Edward Teach was a common combination of legal and illegal pirates. The ferocious pirate Blackbeard was defined by his time as a privateer, a true pirate, and his death (Blackbeard). First of all, privateers are people that steal ships for ...

He had a favorite spot to attack the ships, the Ocracoke Inlet; he would anchor his ships in shallow waters that prevents other ships from attacking. As the weather becomes colder, he sails to the south until he reaches the Caribbean (Blackbeard). The way they attack the ships are by boarding onto the ship themselves. Usually, the people on the merchant ship surrenders, but if they do resist, they will be promptly executed in a brutal manner (Minister). When he is raiding ships, he would prioritize his crew's health first. The crew's health is so important that he once demanded a box full of medicine from the governor of South Carolina or else he would "murder all their prisoners, send up their heads to the governor, and set the ships they had taken on fire." The government soon gave Edward a box of medicine (Jarus). This action is known as the Charleston ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 5. How Bibery And Persuasion Affected Scotland's Decisions? During 1714 George Lockhart memoirs were published which blamed over 30 Scottish people of accepting bribes from Queen Anne during the Union Treaty negotiations between both England and Scotland in 1706. Robert Burns then later immortalised these events in his poem "such a parcel of rogues in a nation" which claimed that Scotland had been "bought and sold for English gold". This outtake has persisted so much that it was used for the subject of Christopher Whitley's seminal work during 1994. This essay will look further into how bribery and persuasion affected Scotland's decision during 1688 until 1707. In 1688, the Glorious Revolution replaced James II with William of Orange. The revolution came to an end when James II had insisted that he would like Roman Catholicism reappointed as the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... However, the Dutch and the English said that they wouldn't fund the venture so it was left to the Scottish, both rich and poor, to raise the money that was needed. The first ship was set to take sail in 1698, they arrived at Darien having lost 70 people during the journey and many of them that did make it were already sick and it went downhill from there because of the lack of food and the attacks from the Spanish. Many native Indians felt sorry for the Scottish people and brought them food but after seven months 400 of the Scottish people had died and many of them had diseases so they decided to cancel the scheme. Unaware of the news, eleven more ships set sail in 1699 but only one ship returned in total and only a few made it back home safe. £500,000 was lost which left them almost bankrupt. The Act of Succession was passed by the English in 1701 which stopped a Catholic succession to the throne once Queen Anne had died.

  • 7. The Glorious Revolution Essay The Glorious Revolution Some say the glorious revolution was one of the greatest landmarks in the history of England. The glorious revolution is a very important event in history for multiple reasons. It wasn't exactly a peaceful occasion but it was one in which no war of fight occurred. This was a pleasant change for England at the time because they had been experiencing plenty of fights over the throne and for once it was a relatively smooth transaction. After Charles the second died his brother, James the second gained the throne in 1685. His main objective was to re–establish the Roman Catholic religion in England. The people of England were mostly of a Protestant religion and they did not want to change their ways. Oddly enough ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... He practiced absolute monarchy and the people of England strongly disliked him. As things continued to heated–up between parliament and Mary's father James II, she married the Dutch Protestant prince, William of Orange. William desperately feared an alliance between James II and the Catholic French King. William and Mary were prepared to lead armed forces into England and take over the throne. When James' II second wife gave birth to a son who would be raised Catholic and be the heir to the throne, Parliament got worried. Seven members of parliament signed a letter asking Mary and William to bring an army and drive out James II. William arrived at Torbay, on November 5th 1688 ready to fight for the throne. He was a brave man, for James II's army was double the size of William's army. Although it didn't matter because James II's army was deserting to the other side, James II army had abandoned him. When William of Orange was welcomed into London, James II fled to France in disguise. Parliament claimed that by abandoning his country, the king had abdicated and the throne was now left vacant. On February 6th 1689 Mary and William became King and Queen of England. Perhaps the most revolutionary part of the Glorious Revolution was that the throne had been taken over without a shot fired. But what this truly meant was the ending of absolute monarchy in England. Now rulers had to abide by the laws of their country as well as its people. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Henry VIII was witty, highly educated, and had a love for music. Despite being good– natured, Henry knew how to get what he wanted no matter the cost. Overall, Henry VIII was well liked by his people and was determined to accomplish great things throughout his reign and lifetime. The second son of King Henry VII and Elizabeth of York, Henry VIII was born on June 28, 1491 at Greenwich Palace. He had 6 siblings, but only 3 survived. Their names were Arthur, Margaret, and Mary.

He became unhealthy and as a middle–aged man, became covered with pus–filled boils and possibly suffered from gout. The final years of his reign, Henry dealt with great physical decline along with an increasing desire to appear all–powerful. He continued with fruitless and expensive campaigns against Scotland and France. In 1540, Henry VIII got married yet again to a teenage girl named Catherine Howard. The marriage was short lived, and Catherine was executed in 1542 for adultery and treason because of an alleged affair with Henry's courtier, Francis Dereham.

In "King Lear" it seems to be reflective with his theory of Britain, the kings understandment of evils, and the similarities in how the kinds reacted to anything that seemed to have evil power. When King James was pursuing the Union of Scotland and England into the kingdom of Great Britain. James considered Shakespeare to be one of the most powerful playwriters, Shakespeare came up with many of plays to reflect off King James, but none as significant as "King Lear."

This is through the kings worry with evil possession. Through James rule he had many examples of his worries but one stuck out to me and it was with his worry of Anne Gunter. Anne Gunter was a woman who was allegedly said to be woman with demonic possessions, so King James performed a test of true and false to try to dim his worries of someone who may contain those kinds of features. As of in "King Lear," King Lear was worried about his kingdom being over powered and his daughters causing his kingdom to go down to one having more power than the other. So, King Lear stated, "to shake all cares and business from our age. Conferring them on younger strengths, while we unburdened crawl toward death (1.1. 40–43)." And King Lear also conducted a mock trail of his absent daughter due to his worries of his kingdom. As he stated, "let them anatomize Reagan, see what breeds about her heart. Is there any cause in nature that makes these hard hands (3.6. 60–63)."

  • 13. A Diary That Affected The World By Anne Frank Anne Frank wrote a diary that affected the world by showing she was a normal girl who wanted to be her true self. Her diary was the only place she could really be herself (Frank 1). Anne's dream was that her diary would one day become a book. She wrote that she wanted to be famous and to help others. Her influence on World War II was based on her life experiences in hiding, and her diary. Frank's life was full of hard times and persecution. She was born on July 12, 1929. She received her famous diary on her 13th birthday, the same day of her very first diary entry (Frank 1). It was wartime 1942 in Amsterdam and Adolf Hitler was at his height of power (Byers 36). Hitler had given Germany the scapegoat they had been looking for: the Jews. World War II was raging across Europe, making its way toward changing the life of Anne Frank. The Nazis had taken much of Europe and there was barely a place the Jews could go without fear of being persecuted. The Nazi special forces, the SS Army, had taken away many of the Jewish families in Amsterdam and were offering a cash reward to anyone who turned in a Jew. The Nazis isolated the Jews from daily life: They only allowed the Jews to walk, gave them a curfew, banned them from swimming and going to the movies, and made them wear a yellow star so they could quickly be identified. Hitler fanned the flame of an age–old prejudice until it exploded into a violent hatred (Lewis 4). The icing on the cake for the Jews was when Hitler started ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 15. Inigo Jones And The Queens House Throughout this essay I will explore to what extent Inigo Jones's design for the Queens House was inspired by the works of Palladio and Palladian architecture and 15–16th century European architectural precedents, while also exploring the role the building played on the development of Neoclassical architecture on a wider scale. The Queens House represents the stylistic point of origin for the great imposing buildings surrounding Greenwich but also for Neo–Classical architecture in Britain more generally. The formative years of the designer, Inigo Jones (1573–1652) is largely unknown although its believed he trained as a joiner and received no formal architectural education.

The Queens house, his first residential project gave him the chance to implement these ideas in practice. Jones career was prolific, although a lot of what he created or modified has since disappeared. Some of the buildings that remain include Banqueting Hall at Whitehall, the Queen's Chapel at St James's Palace and St Paul's Church. He also consulted on the reconstruction of Somerset House and the Covent Garden Piazza. Palladian architecture is based on the symmetry and perspective of classical architecture, particularly the temples of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. It was characterised by the use of pediments and symmetry, and proportions that were based on mathematics rather than ornament. "Palladian architecture is recognisable for its classical facades. Some of the defining features of Palladianism include the use of Corinthian columns, decorative motifs such as masked faces and scallop shells. Pediments used over doors and windows, both external and internal. Terms – free– standing stones representing the head and upper torso of the Roman god Terminus, on top of a pillar". Palladio, its founder "believed that a building and its decoration should be considered as a whole". He particularly admired the monuments left by the ancient Greeks and Romans, and often used the orders of classical columns in his buildings. Many of these architectural precedents ...

William And Mary Rule 1750-1910 William III of Orange, Stadtholder of the United Provinces of Netherlands, King of England, Scotland, and Ireland(ruled 1689–1702) was born in Netherlands in 1650, and died in London. Queen Mary II of England, Scotland, and Ireland was the daughter of King James born on 1662 who ruled from 1689 to her death, 1694 (William). These two monarchs ruled England, Scotland, and Ireland together in what was called the William and Mary rule. Their rule resulted in the formation of the English Bill of Rights, creation of a more restricted monarchy, creation of the Cabinet system of governance, creation of the Bank of England, formation of national debt, and the spark of the war of Spanish Succession (William, Harris–William, Burkholder). The rule of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This was was caused by conflicting backings of a king for Spain. The end of this war promoted English power and for the first time, promoted Britain as one of the major powers of Europe (Burkholder, Harris–William). It also helped disrobe the power of the Catholic church within Europe and outside of Europe, which was a large development that gave way to further expansion of the Protestant faith. The war of spanish succession was started mostly because of two factors, including the Anti–French, Anti–Catholic agenda of Queen Mary II and King William III, and the establishment of the national bank in England (William, Harris–William, Harris–Glorious). The Anti–French, Catholic agenda of the joint rulers was of great importance as it stripped away the power of the Catholic church and greatly promoted the power of the states themselves. The establishment of the national bank was also very important as it was the first occurance of a debt based economy(William). The creation of the bank allowed for vast expansion of the British Military which consequently lead to the expansion of the British kingdom, promoting the formation of an empire, one of the most important concepts of this time ...

  • 19. Freedom Of Religion In The British Colonies The British Colonists traveled over into the New World for society to work out in their own favor. However, this was not the case for these colonists; they carelessly came into the New World with the intent of having their own freedom of religion, being culturally intertwined with the natives already, and for their own overall independence economically . The British did not make a smooth transformation into this New World when they first arrived over seas, they brought chaos not only to the Natives but also the development of their colonies and themselves. A plan for some of the colonists moving to the New World was freedom of religion, such as the quakers (located in Pennsylvania) and pilgrims believed in the freedom of living off of your own specific religion. The puritans on the other hand, settled in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629 , identified themselves as God's chosen pure angels because of their belief that they were born saved into the world. They would also turn a blind eye to other denominations and focused on their church to be an Angelic Catholic Church specifically. Which of course if you know anything about their "home" back in Europe. That is their "main" denomination over in Britain and they do required everyone to believe in.

  • 21. Essay on Great Britain Rise as the Global Leader of the... When examining the bloody and often tumultuous history of Great Britain prior to their ascent to power, one would not have predicted that they would become the global leader of the 18th century. Prior to the Treaty of Westphalia, which ended the Thirty Years War, the Spanish and the Holy Roman Empire held much of the power in Europe. Only with the suppression of Catholicism and the development of national sovereignty did Great Britain have the opportunity to rise through the ranks. While much of continental Europe was seeking to strengthen their absolute monarchies and centralized style of governing, in the 17th and 18th centuries Great Britain was making significant political changes that reflected the ideals of the Age of Enlightenment. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Under the Bill of Rights, Parliament would have a say over the direction the monarchy was taking the country, that the royal power to suspend and eliminate laws was abolished, that the monarchs were prohibited to levy taxes and the monarchy could not maintain a standing army in peacetime without first going through Parliament (Glorious Revolution) . The addition of the Bill of Rights to England's constitution pushed them forward into a political system not dominated by the interests and whims of the monarchy. William and Mary not only changed the religious course of Great Britain and the idea of divine right but also allowed the ideas of personal liberties and social welfare, encouraged by the Enlightenment, to gain momentum. In addition, William and Mary moved forward with their government by implementing new, modern economic policies which placed more focus on the merchants of the time. While William and Mary were busy ruling the British empire, John Locke was busy producing new ideas on how government should treat its people and vice versa. Chiefly influenced by the political mishap that led to the Glorious Revolution, Locke published his revolutionary work Two Treatises. In this essay, Locke argued that the reason for the whole existence of governmental authority is to protect the civil liberties and freedoms of the governed.

  • 23. Edward Taylor And Anne Bradstreet Throughout this class we have read different types of literature from many different authors. Some of the material I truly enjoyed and some of it not so much. I really enjoyed the Native American literature that we started out with in the beginning of the semester. I think the Native Americans are beautiful people who appreciated the land more than most. The Native Americans were smart people who used short stories such as The Chief's Daughters and Coyote and Bear to warn their readers of dangers or teach them moral lessons. I also enjoyed authors such as Edward Taylor, Anne Bradstreet, and Thomas Paine. I did not like reading William Byrd's material, chiefly because he was rude and spoke nastily of the Native Americans. It personally offended me that he thought their belief of afterlife to be "gross and sensual". I have read material from many different authors and although I enjoyed most of them, I have to say that my two favorites were Edward Taylor and Anne Bradstreet. Both of these authors are Puritans, and it is easy to tell when reading their pieces. Puritans typically write in simple language, and always refer to God. Edward Taylor created a powerful analogy in his piece, Upon a Spider Catching a Fly. The analogy that he describes is an analogy between people and Satan. The spider represents the devil, who is manipulative and wants to trap people in his web of sin. The wasp represents someone who is strong in their faith and does not let themselves get trapped in ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 25. Revolution : The Glorious Revolution The Glorious Revolution that occurred in 1688 to 1689 was a bloodless revolution in England that was a turning point in modern history. The true glory of the revolution was that it contained no massacre and that a settlement by consent was reached on the religious and political differences that had divided parties for ages. A thinker during the time, John Locke came up with new models and inspirations for the evolving concept of government. Locke argued that power came from the people, not from a divine right to royal rule. Kings should therefore be restrained by institutions that protected the public interest, including certain general rights to freedom and property. Therefore. a more democratic form of government known as a limited monarchy replaced absolutism and at the same time limited its power by the 1689 Bill of Rights. The revolution established the supremacy of parliament over the crown that set Britain on the path towards constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy (Maurice, 2017). The king and queen became figureheads, when before they were absolute monarchs. In 1660, when Charles II was on the throne, Englishmen were uncertain about the Stuarts and suspected him of Papal tendencies and absolutists learnings. Charles II did not adhere to Parliament since he had favoring alliances with Catholic powers in Europe. When Charles II died in 1685, Charles was succeeded by his brother James II, Duke of York.

In his late twenties, Walter joined forces with some of the most powerful Norman figures in England, engaging a series of battles in which the throne of England was at stake. On one side was the claimant Stephen of Blois, and opposing him Matilda (called "Maud"), the daughter of recently deceased King Henry I. In these contests, Walter FitzAlan linked up with Scotland's King David and also with one of King Henry's sons named Reginald Dunstanville, a half–brother of Maud [10].

David granted Walter the lands of "Kerkert" and "Strathgryffe" (much of the land of Renfrewshire) and it was here, in Paisley, that Walter established his home. He built a structure called Blackhall Manor that served him and his descendants for generations [12].

In the centuries to follow these hereditary stewards ascended to the Scottish throne as kings, adopting the surname Stewart for themselves and ultimately forming the Stuart dynasty that ruled Scotland, Ireland, and England during the 17th century [13].

With this in mind King Henry will set his eyes own Anne Boleyn who was a maid of honor to Queen Catherine.

  • 35. The Enlightenment And The Glorious Revolution The Enlightenment is said to have begun in the 1680's, the same decade that the "Glorious Revolution" occurred, which crowned daughter of James II Mary and her husband Prince William of Orange Monarchs of England. This turning point in English history can be considered part of the Enlightenment due to the switch from an Absolute Monarchy to a Constitutional Monarchy and the passing of the English Bill of Rights in 1689 after William's ascension to the throne. The passing of the English Bill of Rights ushered in a new age for England, giving the power of the Monarchy to the Parliament, and banning the Monarch from adjourning Parliament or going against the opinion of its majority. The Bill lists that many tyrannical actions that had previously been made by many kings, such as levying money and suspending/revoking laws were illegal without the consent of Parliament (Document 3), essentially giving Parliament control of the direction of English law. The English Bill of Rights was ratified by William in 1689, which directly stated multiple times that the ruler's power was to be checked by Parliament, thus inhibiting them from exercising full power over the people, preventing tyranny. He states in Document 2 that he and his wife Mary will "concur in everything that may procure the peace and happiness of [the] nation, which a free and lawful Parliament shall determine...

  • 37. The Revolution of 1688 The Glorious Revolution, also known as the Revolution of 1688, refers to the events of 1688–1689. These events eventually led to the overthrow of Catholic King James II and the ascension (of William III and Mary II) to the English throne. These events also produced a significant shift in the relationship between the monarchy and parliament. This paper will discuss the overthrow of King James II, the rebellion and revolt and the consequences as well as the global effects of the Revolution in order to explain the importance of this event in world history. James II, king of England from 1685–1688, inherited a very strong position when he came to power. When James II first came to the throne, he was not very well liked in the eyes of the people of Great Britain, simply because he was a Roman Catholic King to an overwhelmingly Protestant nation. Like most politicians, James made promises to protect the peoples personal beliefs. At the beginning of his reign, James had promised to respect his subject's rights and liberties and protect the Protestant establishment in the church. Despite these promises, James decided to advance the Catholic tenets over the protestants. He did this by issuing dispensations to Catholics including the Test Act of 1673, promoting the public celebration of mass, forcing the universities to admit Catholics, issued a Declaration of Indulgences and also engaged a campaign to pack Parliament so that he would be able to establish Catholic tolerance by ...

  • 41. The British Government : Constitutional Monarchy The current British government is a constitutional monarchy, where the monarch is the Head of State, but only Parliament has the ability to make laws. This distribution of power originated during the reign of the Stuarts. While absolute monarchs ruled the rest of Europe, the English Parliament slowly forced the kings and queens to relinquish much of their power. However, limits on the power of the monarchy were in place far before the Stuart dynasty. In 1215, King John signed the Magna Carta and agreed to consult the Great Council, which later became Parliament, before raising taxes, effectively giving Parliament the power of the purse. The conditions of the Magna Carta came into conflict during the Stuart monarchy. Before the Stuarts, the Tudor family had good relations with Parliament. When Henry VIII wanted to break away from the Catholic Church, Parliament passed the Act of Supremacy and because of the many wars, he had to consult Parliament regularly to raise taxes. After the Tudors, there were six Stuart monarchs, reigning from 1603 to 1714. James I did not associate well with Parliament, unlike his Tudor predecessors. James, like many absolute rulers at the time, believed he had a God given divine right to rule and thus did not appreciate Parliament's role in his government. James and Parliament were in constant conflict over taxes and who had the right to levy them. Parliament passed the Great Protestation, declaring it had freedom of speech and superiority in ...

If an undesirable had not been sent to an extermination camp, they'd be sent to transit camps, concentration camps, or labor camps. In these camps, they would do work to aid the war effort or do hard labor, like digging ditches. Upon arrival, people were stripped of valuables or anything that individualized them.

Henry VIII was having trouble conceiving a male child with his current wife: Katharine of Aragon. Henry wanted the current pope to give him an annulment so Henry could marry Anne Boleyn. Wolsey was unsuccessful in his attempts due to interference from Katharine. This led Henry to lose trust in Wolsey and led to his eventual fall from grace and death in 1529. Cromwell was able to distance himself enough from Wolsey that when he fell, he did not take Cromwell with him. This left Cromwell in the perfect position to fill the space that Wolsey left empty. Through a series of events, the king enlisted Cromwell to use his legal skills to convince parliament to create laws that undermine the authority of the pope, allowing Henry to divorce Katharine without the pope's permission. Henry VIII was wildly impressed by Cromwell success, Cromwell was granted the title "Master of Jewels" and invited to the English court.

But their support was not confined to the countries gentry: the party garnered strong backing in backward, agrarian regions as well as small market towns[9]. The Whigs were largely associated with the nouveau riche: those who lacked aristocratic lineage but had acquired considerable wealth within their generation, usually through their own exploits and endeavour. This included the substantial number of merchants, financiers and monopolists that emerged during William and Anne's reigns. The party was also strong in budding industrial areas and amongst religious dissenters[10]. Although it may not seem like such on first inspection, the principles adopted by Whig and Tory upon William's succession to the throne in 1689 followed much the same pattern as those adopted during the Exclusion Bill crisis of 1678–1681. Just as in the exclusion crisis the Whig's stance hinged entirely upon their religious beliefs. Like Charles II, James II and his newborn Stuart heir were Roman Catholic. All Whigs were united by the unwavering belief that Roman Catholics, regardless of their lineage, should not under any circumstances be in possession of the throne[11]. Such a scenario, in their eyes, would endanger Protestant religion, liberty and property. This principle was not totally unshared by the Tories. However, in the case of William, it was severely undermined by other staunch Tory beliefs– namely their belief in indefeasible hereditary succession, non–resistance and passive ...

The loyalists suffered a massive defeat at this Battle of Lewes and among those captured, aside from Richard of Cornwall and perhaps the King (Prestwich indicates the unsure nature of the King's capture 46), were the northern barons (Scottish lords) of Balliol, Bruce and Comyn.

(Miller 4) Given that such relationships so closely tied the English and the Scottish leaderships war was far from anyone's agenda. However, during this time it was not uncommon even for close relationships to digress towards war.

In the 1600's the reign of James II in England with his emphasis on Catholic practices and the censorship of mail motivated English Parliament to undertake a journey to the Netherlands in search of new leaders by the names of William and Mary. Their arrival in England prompted James II to abdicate his throne. This further propelled the period of William and Mary's reign otherwise known the Glorious Revolution. Additionally, it put forth a new period of constitutional monarchy, religious toleration, and peaceful succession in England. The Glorious Revolution of 1688 led to the Enlightenment because, William of Orange promoted and protected religious toleration and a constitutional monarchy. Furthermore, the majority of English Protestants agreed with William of Orange's stance and allowed the Glorious Revolution to further inspire them as enlightened thinkers. However, William was still heralded as a king and the people of England nevertheless portrayed him an absolute monarch. One of the main ways that the Glorious Revolution promoted enlightened thought was through William and Mary's emphasis on religious toleration and constitutional monarchy.

Forty to Fifty million people lost their lives during World War II. This was a war that lasted for about six years and involved countries from around the whole world. The axis powers in the war consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan. The Allie powers consisted of the United States, France, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and to a lesser extent, China. It is said that unsettled disputes from the first world war, World War I, is what was the main cause of WWII. Japan trained men for the war starting at the age of nine years old. It is said that of all the Soviet men that were born in the year 1923, only twenty percent survived the war. This means eighty percent of all males died in the war. That's from one country, imagine how many innocent lives were taken during the war. All because of one man, Adolf Hitler. The war stemmed off in early 1939 when German dictator Adolf Hitler had intentions of invading Poland. Poland knew about this, so they went to France and Britain for an alliance should Germany invade them. When Germany heard about this, they decided it would be good to take out the Soviets because they didn't know if they would fight on Poland's side or not. On August 23, 1939, Germany and the Soviets signed the German–Soviet Nonaggression pact.

  • 69. Causes Of The Glorious Revolution The Glorious Revolution of 1688 was a time of enlightened thinking and establishing a new principle of dividing power within the monarchy. With the emergence of philosophical thinkers, such as John Locke, the idea of separation of powers and rationalism formed the foundation for our modern use of a constitutional democracy. During this time period, James II was just expelled from the throne, with William III and Mary taking over the throne. James II was a Catholic absolute monarch who was religiously intolerant. James II violated the Test Act, which were a series of English penal laws that served as a religious test for public office and imposed various civil disabilities on Roman Catholics. He did this by giving government and university jobs to Catholics. Fear of the Catholic monarchy led to the expulsion of James II, which then led to the beginning of the Glorious Revolution. The Glorious Revolution was a time of unity within the English Parliament. This Revolution established the principle that power should be divided between the King and the Parliament, similar to a checks and balances system. This was established to ensure that one individual could no longer oppressively rule over the monarchy. During 1688, James II was just expelled from the position of ruler of England. Evelyn, a writer and founding member of the Royal Society of London, reports events that are occurring in England under the rule of James II. Evelyn specifically focuses on the current ...

  • 71. Edward Taylor And Anne Bradstreet Throughout this class we have read different types of literature from many different authors. Some of the material I truly enjoyed and some of it not so much. I really enjoyed the Native American literature that we started out with in the beginning of the semester. I think the Native Americans are beautiful people who appreciated the land more than most. The Native Americans were smart people who used short stories such as The Chief's Daughters and Coyote and Bear to warn their readers of dangers or teach them moral lessons. I also enjoyed authors such as Edward Taylor, Anne Bradstreet, and Thomas Paine. I did not like reading William Byrd's material, chiefly because he was rude and spoke nastily of the Native Americans. It personally offended me that he thought their belief of afterlife to be "gross and sensual". I have read material from many different authors and although I enjoyed most of them, I have to say that my two favorites were Edward Taylor and Anne Bradstreet. Both of these authors are Puritans, and it is easy to tell when reading their pieces. Puritans typically write in simple language, and always refer to God. Edward Taylor created a powerful analogy in his piece, Upon a Spider Catching a Fly. The analogy that he describes is an analogy between people and Satan. The spider represents the devil, who is manipulative and wants to trap people in his web of sin. The wasp represents someone who is strong in their faith and does not let themselves get trapped in ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Barbara Fredrickson is a positive psychology researcher at the University of North Carolina and she published a landmark paper that provides surprising insights about positive thinking and its impact on the lives of people. Her work is among the most referenced and cited in her field. She tested the impact of positive emotions on the brain by setting up an experiment. During this experiment, she divided her research subjects into 5 groups and showed each group different film clip. The first two groups saw clips that created positive emotions, the third group saw images that were neutral and produced no significant emotion, and the last two groups were shown clips that created negative emotions. At the end of the experiment, participants who experienced positive emotions could think of more possibilities in life; showing that positive emotions broaden the sense of possibility and even open the mind up to more options. In her paper, "The Broaden–and–Build Theory of Positive Emotions", Barbara Fredrickson concludes, "Positive emotions promote discovery of novel and creative actions, ideas and social bonds, which in turn build that individual's personal resources; ranging from physical and intellectual resources to social and psychological resources." (Fredrickson, p. 1367 ) The lives of Anne Frank and Winston Churchill are proof ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 77. Essay On The American Colonies The American Colonies for the past 20 years have become accustomed to living a thousand miles from their sovereign, the King of England and Parliament. This separation from "monarchial" control and power has created a tough and independent society, which although they believe themselves to be subjects of the crown, has molded an experience and lifestyle unlike any found within the "Crown's" realm. Subsequently, these differences in lifestyles bond both Mother Country and colony on a path that veers from the typical empirical rule that has ruled the known world for the last century. The journal asks what possible reasons Americans could have to begin to quarrel over our identity with the crown. We are not defiant because we simply have nothing else to do; rather we are defiant because we have been stepped on countless amounts of times by "Parliament (specifically, the House of Commons)" that insist that they are "the guardians of British constitutional liberty" only because of their victorious efforts against the "tyranny of the Stuart kings of England." Yet, their understanding of a constitution is so much more different that they continue the same practices of the Stuarts. Take, for example, the nonsensical use of authority to create laws that exerts extensive pressures on American families, such as the passing of the General Writs of Assistance Case in 1761. The writ allows British government officials the general right to search and seize colonist's private property ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
