John P. Cromwell's War
The Japanese were notorious for torturing soldiers they captured to get secret information out of them. If John P. Cromwell would have been captured by the Japanese they would have eventually known about the secret war programs that Cromwell had known about. Therefore, if Cromwell hadn't stayed on the submarine there could have been a different outcome of the war.

    2. My favorite part of John Henry would be how he ready to die to provide. He told the Captain that he would be willing to do any job just to support his family.

    Oliver Cromwell was born in 25 April 1599. Cromwell Died on 3 September 1658. He rose from fairly humble beginnings to become the most victorious military and political leader of the Civil Wars, who was part of the joint republican, military and parliamentarian effort that caused the downfall of the Stuart monarchy as a result of the English Civil War, and was consequently invited by his associate leaders to assume a head of state role in 1653. As such, Cromwell ruled as "Lord Protector" for a five-year segment (1653–58) of the 11-year period of Republican Commonwealth and settlement rule of England, and technically of Ireland, Wales and Scotland. As one of the commanders of the New Model Army, he played an essential role in the defeat of the King 's army, the royalists in the English Civil War. After the execution of King Charles I in 1649, Cromwell conquered the short-lived Commonwealth of England, conquered Ireland and Scotland, ruling as Lord Protector from 1653 until his death in 1658. He was also 1st Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland and Ireland. Oliver Cromwell is remembered because he was just another right-wing militarist religious zealot. In its way, the structure of the Lord Protectorate was a precursor of Stalinist Russia, with its Politburo, assembly and leadership cult - though substituting Puritanism for state-supported atheism. It could be said that everything Cromwell attempted, in the way of government reform, failed. It often failed within a year of the attempt - as with the Parliament of Saints. The Instruments of Government failed within eighteen months. He alternately enfranchised and disenfranchised various groups. He never found a calm solution to government and finally ruled despotically through his clutch of political commissars, the Major Generals. Finally, like Caesar, he was presented the Crown. Like Caesar, he first rejected, and then accepted it, but Oliver became the Lord Protector. His Protectorate hardly…

    In this film there are shown two sides of the American Revolution. The Americans and the Britishers had equally contributed to the American Revolution. My understanding of the American Revolution was limited to the disturbance created by the British troops, but after viewing this film my understanding has extended to believe that colonists had triggered these reactions from British Parliament. The Stamp Act, a decision made by British Parliament, was to impose taxes on the colonies in order to gain more money, because England was in need for it. The Americans viewed this as British Parliament obtaining their power over American’s liberty (“Boston, Bloody Boston: The Revolution”). My understanding of American revolution was limited to the Boston…

    The revolutionary war brought about political change. Before the revolution, each colony was separately governed. Each had two houses, but besides that, the systems differed. The king controlled the colonies by choosing governors and appointing members of assembly. The king's power over the colonies, along with absolute power, disappeared after the war. Citizens were unsure of what type of government was desired, but they knew it must prevent tyranny. First, the Articles of Confederation was established. Unfortunately, the people found many grievances under this first constitution. The government could not tax, so it could not respond well to Bacon’s Rebellion. The articles were then repealed, and the making of the constitution began. The constitution…

This anger and colonial discontent is what eventually led to the American Revolution.…

    Taxation without representation was not just an economic grievance for the colonists. They had learned by reading John Locke and the "Commonwealth men" that all governments try to encroach upon the people's liberty. If the people remained "virtuous," or alert to their rights and determined to live free, they would resist "tyranny" at its first appearance.…

    The rebellions which occurred during the reign of Edward VI were mainly religious and not political in origin. The political reasons for the rebellions are that there were absent landlords, mainly because they were in the council, which meant the peasants had no-one to stop them and the incompetent advisors, Peter Carew, sent down to deal with the issue. The religious reasons were that the reforms of Somerset had not gone far enough and the majority of the clergy were uneducated and the common prayer book was produced. The economic reasons for the rebellions were that illegal enclosures were being torn down by government commissions, but the peasants wanted to take matters into their own hands and the sheep tax was hitting the poor harder than it should’ve done.…
