With What Success did Wolsey pursue his aims in foreign policy? In the period that Wolsey was Henry's top minister, Europe was a very hostile environment where each nation was continually enforcing her sovereignty and supremacy over other nations in the ruthless power struggle that was foreign policy. Under the rule of Henry IIV England had steered clear of conflicts with other nations, as Henry was happy with his annual pension from France. However, after Henry VIII accession to the throne England's Foreign policy became much more important part of the King and ministers role. Henry was not happy with the isolated state that England lay in outside of Europe and sought to boost the minimal influence he had. Therefore the Kings chief minister Cardinal Wolsey had his work cut out for him to improve relations in Europe especially with France who England had very bad history of conflict with and also with Charles who was a very powerful and influential ruler in Europe at this time. There were a large number of events that Wolsey dealt with, in some cases successfully in others not so much, In balancing up Wolsey's successes and failures it should be possible to decipher whether Wolsey had met his aims in foreign policy. One of Wolsey's main aims in foreign policy was to try and avoid war especially with France, as England at this time was no match for the French. In the early
Women and the War Effort in Britain.
Women and the War Effort in Britain Jas Singh 10D Teacher - Mrs Ball ) Source B is the front cover of the War Worker magazine, which was written in 1917. It shows a British Soldier holding a flag of the Union Jack, along with a female worker also holding a Union Jack. In the background of the picture we can see factories and industries and vast electricity pylons. The impression that we are meant to be getting is that men and women are both united in a common cause, and that cause is to work together to help win the war. It also tells us that the women back in Britain are just as important to the war effort as the men fighting on the frontline are. However, Source B cannot be trusted as it comes from a propaganda magazine, and so it is inevitable that the magazine has a different purpose. It was produced primarily to encourage women to support the war effort, and to persuade women to find work, and so some of the information in the magazine and indeed on the front cover may have not been truthful - it was just trying to convince the women. Therefore, we must question the reliability of this source. Whereas Source B was saying how attitudes towards women had improved, Source F is saying the opposite, saying that, "Attitudes to women workers remained, in many instances, negative." It also goes on to say how women workers threatened the position of male workers as the women
Women During The Second World War.
Anna Galloway Women During The Second World War Question 1 The thrust of source A, the message to women was that the war was being waged to protect all the things that they held dear. It makes the point that traditionally women were at the heart of the home and family. However in order to protect this ethos it is inferred that, every woman in the country must be prepared to make sacrifices in order to keep them. The source says "all those little things that are so important in every woman's life" which at that times implied home and family; the broadcast far from denigrating these values said "treasure them and cling to them" the broadcast went on to say that the war was being waged to protect these values, our freedom and future. The broadcast indicates that whilst the men of the country were at the front prosecuting the war in order to support them every woman must sacrifice their comfortable existence to have the home and take over jobs which had been vacated by the men at the front; the broadcast emphasised that "we are all in it together" and in order to succeed and protect all, that both men and women held dear they must be prepared to "fight for them" men by taking up arms and women by changing roles and keeping, agriculture, transport and industry going; providing support morally, through men knowing the home front was being kept going and materially i.e. munitions
William the Conqueror
Matt Dmytry & Dan DeVita Blk. A Dec. 17/01 William the Conqueror, born in 1028, was an extremely important person in his day and age. To this very day he is regarded as a very great military leader and an extremely influential leader of his people. At a very young age, of 18, he was officially named Duke of Normandy, due to his father's untimely death. He accomplished a great deal of important things, he conquered England in the Battle of Hastings, he surveyed how much land his people owned in a collection called the Domesday Book, and he had a set of laws that he ruled England with. The Battle of Hastings took place in 1066. There isn't much known about the actual battle itself but what is known is that it was a day that would be remembered for centuries to come. This Battle was the victory that started William's accent to becoming the King of England. Although, he wasn't the King right after the Battle of Hastings it is the most significant Battle that lead him to becoming the King. William wasn't officially named the King of England until December 25, 1066. One of his first acts as King was to build a fortress in London, a tactic he used in several towns. This tower became famous, and it still stands today. The tower is called: The Tower of London, this tower still stands today. After conquering England, William decided to make an inventory of his new kingdom called
With Reference To the Period 1880 To the Present day, explain why people chose to migrate to Britain?
WITH REFERENCE TO THE PERIOD 1880 TO THE PRESENT DAY, EXPLAIN WHY PEOPLE CHOSE TO MIGRATE TO BRITAIN? Introduction: In its present state, Great Britain stands as a fascinating study of a successful multicultural project, which is rooted in particularly curious social foundations and a unique political culture. In particular, Britain has been able to avoid a great deal of conflict between minority populations and the native majority, despite a political system that makes no presumption of equality. This is a result of a unique set of orientations, which emphasise the virtue of fairness, despite the conspicuous absence of an egalitarian ideal in policy making. Jewish People 1880s->: 1880 and 1905 had seen an influx of Ashkenazim Jews from the Russian pogroms, and then, of course, came the 1930's with the persecution that began the Nazis' programme of their destruction. There was some political racism in Britain that reflected what was happening on the continent, but not from the government and it met popular resistance in London. A strong working class Jewish element received support from other working class people, as well as in particular the support of Irish immigrants whom Jews had helped in their settlement. Jews in Britain number well under half a million, with half of their number in London and a strong concentration in Manchester. A majority of Jews in Britain
With reference to the period 1880 to the present day, explain why people chose to migrate to Britain?
Q1: With reference to the period 1880 to the present day, explain why people chose to migrate to Britain? I am going to utilize the opinions of the Jewish, Spanish, Japanese and the Caribbean to make an conclusion of why people chose to migrate to Britain, during the period 1880 to the present day. People from these different countries and cultures helped to create the foundations of the country we know today. Some have stayed for only a short while or they move on. Others have made homes here. Those that settle are called immigrants. Migrate means to leave one place or country and settle in another. There are different ways of classifying why people move to a place. Historians call them "Push and Pull factors". A "Push" factor is something, which forces people to leave their homeland, e.g. flooding or unemployment. A "Pull" factor is something about their destination that attracts people, it pulls them there. E.g. they might be attracted by the employment chances or by better housing. Some of those who have settled, come as refugees driven from their homes by natural disasters such as persecution or war. From time to time immigrants may have encountered prejudice and discrimination but have gone on to settle and establish communities. Over the centuries immigrants have influenced every aspect of life in Britain from clothes, food and language, to religion and politics.
War in the air.
WAR IN THE AIR INTRODUCTION In 1914 war broke out between all the major powers of Europe. Tension had been building up for a long time for many reasons. I have chosen to do my project on "War in the Air", because I was interested by how much air technology advanced as a direct result of the demands of war. I have divided up my project into three sections: . Air technology in 1914. 2. Use of aircraft in the early part of the war. 3. (a) How the use of aircraft changed the war, (b) New development's that allowed aircraft to take on new roles. During my research I went to the local library, I also went to the main library in Cambridge and used the school library and resources to see what books and information were available on this subject. I searched the internet for relevant sites, and I contacted Duxford Air Museum and the RAF Hendon Museum. AIR TECHNOLOGY IN 1914 It is clear that in 1914 Germany was far better equipped that the Allies. Despite hindsight being easy, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that Britain was very slow to recognise the potential importance of the aeroplane to warfare. The use of 'lighter-than-air' machines such as balloons and kites had been used in warfare to a limited degree since the beginning of the 18th Century. It was not long after the Wright brothers successfully developed the first 'heavier-than-air' machine that some countries
"War in the Modern World includes terrorism and the threat of Nuclear War. How might the Bible, the churches and the teachings of Jesus guide Christians in these matters?"
"War in the Modern World includes terrorism and the threat of Nuclear War. How might the Bible, the churches and the teachings of Jesus guide Christians in these matters?" The threat of Terrorism and Nuclear War is real in today's modern society. Over the last 100 years, war has become more dangerous than at any other time in history - due to technological advances and more civilians becoming involved in war as a whole - 9 out of 10 injuries today will be sustained by the local population rather than the men at the front. One particular conflict between England, France, Germany, Turkey and Russia was World War One. This war was one where many weapons which we see today were being developed to change the way war was being fought. The Tank which was made in our own fair city of Lincoln by Joseph Ruston may have failed at first in 1916 but by 1939 even Germany had copied the original design for a tank and created a Panzer Division to try to defeat us in World War Two. Russia was an example of a country changed by this war. Before it the Romanovs had been in control of a huge nation - 1, 33,000 people mainly serfs for 300 years in luxury. By 1918 the Royal Family had been overthrown due to the losses in the "Great War" mainly due to the fact the Empress was a German, raised in England by a bourgeois regime of the Victorian Era. The Workers overthrew the nobility using

Essay: War is the waging of armed conflict against an enemy. War is a dreadful word. Whenever it is spoken or read a terrible picture appears on the screen of our mind. Some years ago, the picture and concept of the war was not as it is today. There was a vast battlefield in which two armies were engaged in a fight. They were trying to kill as many of their opponents as possible. For this purpose they user guns and tanks. In the seas, two navies were also battling against each other, with ships sinking and men drowning. In olden times, war was not as destructive as it is today. People did die and ruin and destruction did take place, but it was on a limited scale. It was mostly soldiers and army men who were
War Photography
'MORE PHOTOGRAPHS OF WAR ARE APPEARING IN THE MEDIA THAN EVER BEFORE.' Perhaps no event susceptible to being photographed has received more attention than war. Whether as a record for the events that took place, a logical tool, or a form of propaganda, photography has played a critical part in forming the public's response to global and local conflicts. Photographers report the physical impact and the emotional effects of war; a destroyed building, a dead child or a struggling soldier. However, we ask; should war really be portrayed in this manner? Are pictures really worth a 1000 words? What does it mean to see such images? Firstly, one reason why war should be portrayed in this method is because the public needs to know. The photographs that are taken provide information about the conflicts. A member of the public who is in support for his or her country may want the photo that illustrates victorious and the joyous moments, a family member of a soldier at war might want to observe where and in what conditions the soldier is in. generally, human beings are curious. They always want to know. The press takes advantage of this curiosity and publishes the images in newspapers and magazines. A photographer's duty is to describe his surroundings by using his camera; it is up to the viewer to judge the rights and wrongs. A photographer cannot be held responsible if an image is
