The Hundred Years War
The Hundred Years’ War
Have you wondered what were the causes of The Hundred Years’ War? Well, the immediate cause of the war was the conflict between Edward II of England and Philip VI of France for the duchy of Gascony. But there was already tension between the two on who was the rightful leader heir to the French throne. Edward declared war and the willing personalities of both rulers contributed to the start of the war. Also, because the king of French tried to take the territory claimed by England in Southern France and England also claimed the territory. Other causes were the battle for Flanders, the struggle for control in France, the “Auld Alliance”, the battle for the channel and the North Sea, an aggressive spirit in England, and

    Hammurabi’s Code and Ben Zhao’s Instruction manual for Women, both establish similar gender norms about the female sex. One example of a gender norm established by the two is the emphasis of a women’s protection of her purity before marriage. For example Hammurabi’s code states “Again, there must be no marriage with a prostitute, since by reason of the abuse of her body. God could not accept her nuptial sacrifices.”(pg. 16). The code says that a women’s virginity is sacred and a gift given to God and her husband at marriage, it is her virtue and without it she has nothing of value. There is also a similar opinion given in Ben Zhao’s instructions that says “To guard carefully her chastity; to control circumspectly her behavior; in every motion to exhibit modesty; and to model each act on the best usage, this is womanly virtue” (Ben Zhao). He is essentially saying the same thing, a women’s chastity is what makes her respectable and gives her validity. However, while Both Hammurabi’s Code and Ben Zhao’s manual share similar gender norms, they also establish gender norms that are the opposite of each other, such as the behavior and role of women in society. For example Ben Zhao says “Let a woman modestly yield to others; 1et her respect others; let her put others first, herself last. Should she do something good, let her not mention it; should she do something bad let her not deny it. Let her bear disgrace; let her even endure when others speak or do evil to her.”(Ben Zhao). Ben Zhao believes that a women’s role is to please others, never themselves, to do good and receive nothing, but be punished and humiliated for wrong doing. However King Hammurabi thinks the opposite “If a women quarrel with her husband… the reasons for her prejudice must be presented. If she is guiltless… but he leaves and neglects her, then no guilt is attached to this women; she shall take her dowry and return to her father’s house” (pg.…

    In the article, Philip Ranlet analyzes the possible causes that led to King Philip’s War to deconstruct the misleading interpretations often made by historians about the crucial event. Ranlet’s “Another Look at the Causes of King Philip’s War” contributes to the New Left historiographical discussion because the historians demand the inclusion of those features of our history that explains how we came to be a violent, racist, repressive society. The interpretation of some historians are often influenced by the time period the event is being analyzed. For example, nineteenteenth century historian, John Gorham Palfrey, referred to King Philip as “ ‘an unreasoning and cruel barbarian’ who had no cause to war against the Puritan settlers.”(Ranlet…

    The first cause for the war was because of the British’s interference with American shipping which is also known as the naval blockade. Great Britain was at war with France. The US was providing the French with food and supplies, and Britain did not like this, so they set up a partial blockade to keep the US away for France. The second cause of the war was because of the impressment (kidnapping) of American sailors. The British were kidnapping American sailors and were forcing them to work on their ships. The British kidnapped around 6,00 American…

    The third cause related to religion, was in 1637 when Charles demanded that the new English Prayer Book be used in Scottish Churches. This was a big mistake because the Scots were more anti Catholic than the English and many of them were Puritan. This was going to increase the chances of war a big amount. There were riots in Scotland against the new book and Charles was forced to raise an army to fight against the Scots. The English army was defeated by the Scots.…

    The true cause of the Revolutionary War was separation between Britain and the American Colonies. The two grew apart with a small bond that kept the colonies loyal to Britain, (The History of The United States, 1904). Most people believe that taxation and unfair laws was the cause of the war. The main cause that really angered the Americans was Britain’s attempt at taking guns from the colonist. On April 1775, the Americans starting shooting against the British when the British tried to disarm the Americans as a form of gun control program, (Hidden History, n.d.).…

    In my opinion, the conflicts leading up the American Revolution were one many of the significant issues. The conflicts came out to me as significant because it played as one of the most important roles in our history. Though, there are various types of conflict that lead the North American colonies on the fight for their independence, there were only a few that stuck out to me the most. The Boston Tea party, the Intolerable Acts, and the First Continental Congress, the were major factors in the American Revolution. Without those conflicts, America’s fate as a country would be a little different.…
