    Peasants Revolts Dbq Analysis

    The peasants’ revolts in sixteenth century Germany were very historically significant. As such, many groups had different perspectives on the causes of the revolts as well as different responses to them. The peasants themselves cited as the cause many of the ideas brought about through the Protestant reformation: individual rights and the godliness and equality of all people. However, many nobles and government officials saw these as acts of the peasants’ own stupidity and vengeful nature. As for the response to the revolts the members of the church had widely varied responses from whole-hearted support to condemnation. The government officials responded through acts, which gave the appearance of being reasonable, but actually were not. The…

    The Natives were physically and spiritually united with nature, and did not waste any part of any animal they killed, or any plant they pulled from the earth.

They had a rich spiritual heritage, documented through their magnificent pictographs and petroglyphs, songs, dances, and legends. The Chumash lived life in balance with nature, and they were ready for any situation they would encounter in their daily existence and their tasks. As a…

    Seven Years War

    The Seven Years War proved to be a crossroads in the history of British colonial rule in America. Britain was victorious, but after defeating her French foes (along with their Indian allies), Britain was left to contemplate the ramifications of a war that would leave her relationship with her American colonies altered forever. This change would eventually lead to conflict between the colonies and Britain, and ultimately the Declaration of American Independence.…

    The Civil War was a time of great social and political upheaval. It was also a time of great technological change. Inventors and military men devised new types of weapons, such as the repeating rifle and the submarine, that forever changed the way that wars were fought. Even more important were the technologies that did not specifically have to do with the war, like the railroad and the telegraph.

    Acoutability

    The importance of being on time accounted for is because lets say that you dont come back to formation after you go out on a convoy then they know that you are missing. If you do not show up and you do not respond on the radio there is going to possibly be a search team for you. If they do send a search team for then that puts that entire team at risk while looking for you. Point of accountability formation is to make sure all of your soldiers are there and that they are all accounted for. If one person is not accounted for then the entire formation does not leave. It is not just the fact that everyone is accounted for it is part of your military duty to be at formation and at movement. If you do not make it to formation or movement it is punishable by UCMJ. It could be the end of your carrer. Not only will it ruin everything that you have gone through and wasted your time but you are also letting your battels down and if you can not show up to formation what makes you think that they can trust you in being there in the time of need. If you can not be there then what is your team going to think when they hear over the radio that you are on the way and you are the only one that can help them. They are going to be like what that is the only person we have well we are al good as dead. Accountablility does not end in the army life it also goes into civilian world. When you have a job in the civilian world they are looking for someone that be on time and do the job but the second that you are not on time your accountabliity starts to go down the drain. Not only is accountability good tohave in the work place but at home. If your family can not count on you then who can they count on? Accountability is also important with your friends if they feel that they can count on you and for some reason you give them a reason to not count od you that could be a relationship killer. I just do not know how to put it into a essay how important accountability is. If you cannot be…

    The Seven Years War

    The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries saw a bunch of top-notch wars, but the Seven Years War, also called the French and Indian War, because it was the first truly global war. This significant war was subsequently the leading factor to lead into the American Revolution. The American’s referred to it as The French and Indian War. The Prussians called it The Silesian War and the Swede’s called it the Pomeranian war. In fact a historian named Winston Churchill called it “the first world war (Harrison 1965, 13).” The entire war in Europe is that Prussia and Great Britain fought France and Austria, and that the Austrian Hapsburgs wanted to win back Silesia, but which they failed to do. Although wars usually have really complicated causes and it’s very rare that we can refer to one thing that is making them inevitable, yet fortunately the Seven Years War is an exceptional event for this.…

    Early Religious Wars

    The French Wars of Religion: 1562-1598 The “St. Bartholomew Massacre” was the “turning point in both French history and the history of the European Christian church”. (Hooker, 1999) Catholicism was not seen as a deluded church by the Protestants at this point, but rather “the force of the devil itself”. (Hooker, 1999) Protestants were not battling for a changed church, they were battling for survival over the Catholic Church whose brutality and intensity had no limits. Protestant activity transformed eventually to combative activity throughout Europe.…

    The Seven Years War

    "Plutot mourir que faillir"("Rather dying than failing")and "UBIQUE! QUO FAS ET GLORIA DUCUNT" "Everywhere! Where Right and Glory Lead." The Seven Years war, or the French and Indian war to Americans, was arguably the first true world. The Seven years war was a worldwide war fought in Europe, North America, and India between. It was France, Austria, Russia, Saxony, Sweden, and (after 1762) Spain on the one side and Prussia, Great Britain, and Hanover on the other (the Americans where there only for the North American theater).This conflict was the result of the ongoing hostilities and the struggle of supremacy between France and Great Britain. In 1754, in North America, George Washington was defeated at Fort Necessity in western Pennsylvania. From that moment on, both France and Great Britain dispatched troops, although not in equal numbers. For France, the war in Europe was the top priority, so the country sent just a few troops. It also considered it was more important to protect its colonies in the West Indies, since sugar cane was more lucrative than the fur trade in New France (Canada). Great Britain on the other hand was determined to destroy France's colonial empire, and it sent more than 20,000 soldiers to America. It must also be noted that American colonists were unable to defend themselves against their Canadian counterparts, who, with the help the Native Americans excelled in the art of the guerilla warfare. For New England, it was imperative to obliterate New France and its Native allies, which were preventing the States from acquiring and occupying new land (New England had a very large population and sought new land to occupy and farm.) France waste no time in the war and attacked the British held island of Minorca. This island ended up in the hands of the French. Although France did well in the war until 1757, the tide proceeded to turn, in favor of the British troops, after William Pitt became Sec. of state for war. The British…
