Answer: 1. Henry the VIII fought and defended the church but wanted an annulment from his wife. From this the Catholic church would not grant it so Henry the VIII got his annulment, got rid of the church and made the Protestant church of England. As this Henry the VIII was the head of the church.
2. fighting between English settlers and indians. Led to many people dead, some diseases spread. Thats it peace was restored.

9. Saratoga was were the Americans together united as one army and defeated the British. Became the rally cry for the American troops.

12. I don't remember a war between us two but if u mean by submarines during the 1812 war then it went well, nobody got hurt.
13. ended the war of 1812, made the British return prisoners, and create a indian buffer zone.

Question: Ancient history?? Ideas?

Okay, I’ve got to do a 1500+ word assignment about an aspect of ancient history, but it’s got to be fairly specific (for example, it shouldn’t be about something broad such as ‘Why did Rome fall?’, something more like ‘What role did Christianity play in the decline of the Roman empire?’ It offers quite a bit of freedom and flexibility, so I don’t know what to do it on. I was thinking about doing something about the fall of the Roman empire but I thought it was too boring and aren’t too keen on it, so I need suggestions.

(Let me emphasis that it must be about ANCIENT HISTORY, ie. only things before the French Revolution).

Thanks.
As for everything before the French Revolution not technically been ancient history, I know; I was just told that it had to be before the Revolution, so blame my teacher, not me…

Thanks for the replies. Best answer should be coming pretty soon.

Answer: You may start on the Silk Route (established by Han Dynasty in 114 BCE), and its impact on human history and progress through trades and exchange of knowledge. It covers a broad historical timeline till the 17th century, when Portugal, Spain, Holland and even Britain tried to outdo each other in having direct trades with China, using the sea-routes, and hence, the development of naval sea-power of some of these nations.

Question: Can anyone help me with this essay question?? Its about the French Revolution…?

I have an essay test in 2 days and this is my question..any input would be nice..its for AP world history. Thanks!

“Assess whether the French Revolution was the realization or betrayal of the ideals of the Enlightenment. ”

Answer: It was a resounding repudiation of the Enlightenment.

According to the 18th century French journalist, Jacques Mallet du Pan, the works of the philosopher, Jean Jacques Rousseau, were the “Koran of the revolutionaries.” Consequently, the failures of the revolution can be directly linked to the flaws in Rousseau’s philosophy.

In “The Social Contract,” Rousseau maintained that “Civil Society” emerges from the creation of a “General Will” among the people. The people create this will, and in doing so yield their sovereignty to it. In this regard, Rousseau is in line with the earlier English philosopher Thomas Hobbes, whose works were later repudiated by the Enlightment’s most successful political philosopher, John Locke.

Locke maintained that people never yield their soveriegnty to the state, but merely “lend” it based on the continuing good behavior of the government; and that should the government be destructive of the ends for which it was created, the people have the right to replace that government any time they wish. This interpretation informed Thomas Jefferson’s views on government which he wrote in the Declaration of Independence.

Both Hobbes and Rousseau believed that the surrender of soveriegnty was permanent. This was a huge mistake. But Rousseau makes more mistakes.

He also maintained that freedom was only possible within the General Will, and that if people did not wish to join, they should be compelled to do so. In other words, since freedom is good, and freedom is only possible within the General Will, the people should be “forced” to be “free.” The idea of force as a means of getting people to do what you want them to do, and justifying it on the basis that you know better, and are therefore doing the right thing, flies in the face of the basic paradigm of “Liberty” and the “Rights of the Individual” which lay at the center of Enlightenment thought.

Rousseau exacerbates the problem by announcing that the actions of the General Will are infalible. The General Will can do no wrong. Therefore he is giving absolute power without checks to individuals who will wield the power of the General Will. This was a repudiation of the basic Enlightenment ideals as expressed by both Locke, and another Enlightenment philosopher, the Baron du Montesquieu, whose 1748 book, “The Spirit of Laws” called for limited government through separation of powers, and widespread civil rights and liberties for all.

Enter Robbespierre.

Robbespierre was a committed disciple of Rousseau who saw himself as the embodiment of the revolution and the General Will of the people. He enacted massive reforms which were slow to take hold. And frustrated by the slow pace of reform, Robbespierre resorted to widespread terror as a means of getting what he wanted.

The idea of terror as a means of effecting social change is totally out of sinc with Enlightenment values, but is the inevitable consequence of following a flawed political philosophy that accepts force as a means of compliance, and accords infalibility to those who act in the name of the people.

The resulting chaos of the Terror, caused the fall of Robbespierre, and the eventual rise of the dictatorship of Napoleon. Neither of these men is indicative of Enlightenment values.

The ideals of the Enlightenment were about the liberation of the individual FROM government, and the limitation of government to impose itself on the individual. Men like Locke, Jefferson and Montesquieu were indicative of that trend. Men like Hobbes, Rousseau, Robbespierre and Napoleon were the antithesis of that vision. And as the French Revolution was the product of the later group, it must be viewed as a repudiation of the Enlightenment’s core values.

Hope this gives you some ideas. Cheers.
