After centuries of bitter feuding involving both sides the British Government was for the first time to offer the Irish independence. In this essay I seek to outline how the Irish revolution of 1919 and 1921 was successful in achieving Irish independence.

Jamestown: Why Did So Many Colonists Die? It was a rough beginning with constant deaths throughout the colony of Jamestown.

Why did Germany suffer a period of political disorder from 1918 – 1923? In my controlled assessment I will discuss how and why Germany suffered a period of political disorder from 1918 – 1923. At the end of WW1 the Allies were willing to end the war in exchange for Germany becoming a democracy and signing a treaty. The Kaiser refused to sign the treaty but the government did sign it due to the introduction of the USA in the war‚ the blockade of waterways and the promise of a fair peace treaty. On
