    Peasants Revolts Dbq Analysis

    The peasants’ revolts in sixteenth century Germany were very historically significant. As such, many groups had different perspectives on the causes of the revolts as well as different responses to them. The peasants themselves cited as the cause many of the ideas brought about through the Protestant reformation: individual rights and the godliness and equality of all people. However, many nobles and government officials saw these as acts of the peasants’ own stupidity and vengeful nature. As for the response to the revolts the members of the church had widely varied responses from whole-hearted support to condemnation. The government officials responded through acts, which gave the appearance of being reasonable, but actually were not. The…

    The Civil War was a time of great social and political upheaval. It was also a time of great technological change. Inventors and military men devised new types of weapons, such as the repeating rifle and the submarine, that forever changed the way that wars were fought. Even more important were the technologies that did not specifically have to do with the war, like the railroad and the telegraph. Innovations like these did not just change the way people fought wars--they also changed the way people lived514e969482da0…

    Thirty Years War

    The thirty year old war which began in 1618 because of deep religious divide that was in Germany and other parts of Western Europe came to abrupt end at the Peace of Westphalia, signed in 1648. The three main reasons of war are: Protestants and Catholics rivalry within the Roman Empire, the Bourbon–Habsburg conflict for European supremacy and disputes between France and Habsburg. The thirty year war is considered as the ugliest war of Europe which had a huge human cost impacted Germany in a big way.

    Effects Of The 30 Years War

    To fully understand modern history, it is important to comprehend the full effects of the Thirty Years War. The end of the Thirty Years War produced a number of dramatic consequences and altered Western Europe in significant religious, political, and social ways. Generally speaking, the post-war period produced the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire and the subsequent fall of the Hapsburg powers. The later divisions that occurred made Europe more like it is now with the Catholic areas in the south and the Lutherans farther north and more importantly, it took the central power from the Catholic Church. It also worked to quelled some of the religious struggles with the eventual Peace of Westphalia. The war also had a large impact on society as it decimated a large portion of the German population, destroyed crops, aided in the spread of disease and obliterated the German economy from the small to large scale. The average people living in Europe during this time were perhaps the most affected by the war. The armies were huge and in order to fund them, states had to raise taxes. In addition, many of the mercenaries went through villages and towns taking all they could from already destitute towns and this, coupled with the increasing demands of the state, planted the seed of anger toward governments that would later emerge throughout the Enlightenment and future rebellions.…

    The Seven Years War

    The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries saw a bunch of top-notch wars, but the Seven Years War, also called the French and Indian War, because it was the first truly global war. This significant war was subsequently the leading factor to lead into the American Revolution. The American’s referred to it as The French and Indian War. The Prussians called it The Silesian War and the Swede’s called it the Pomeranian war. In fact a historian named Winston Churchill called it “the first world war (Harrison 1965, 13).” The entire war in Europe is that Prussia and Great Britain fought France and Austria, and that the Austrian Hapsburgs wanted to win back Silesia, but which they failed to do. Although wars usually have really complicated causes and it’s very rare that we can refer to one thing that is making them inevitable, yet fortunately the Seven Years War is an exceptional event for this.…

    Early Religious Wars

    The French Wars of Religion: 1562-1598 The “St. Bartholomew Massacre” was the “turning point in both French history and the history of the European Christian church”. (Hooker, 1999) Catholicism was not seen as a deluded church by the Protestants at this point, but rather “the force of the devil itself”. (Hooker, 1999) Protestants were not battling for a changed church, they were battling for survival over the Catholic Church whose brutality and intensity had no limits. Protestant activity transformed eventually to combative activity throughout Europe.…

    The Seven Years War

    "Plutot mourir que faillir"("Rather dying than failing")and "UBIQUE! QUO FAS ET GLORIA DUCUNT" "Everywhere! Where Right and Glory Lead." The Seven Years war, or the French and Indian war to Americans, was arguably the first true world. The Seven years war was a worldwide war fought in Europe, North America, and India between. It was France, Austria, Russia, Saxony, Sweden, and (after 1762) Spain on the one side and Prussia, Great Britain, and Hanover on the other (the Americans where there only for the North American theater).This conflict was the result of the ongoing hostilities and the struggle of supremacy between France and Great Britain. In 1754, in North America, George Washington was defeated at Fort Necessity in western Pennsylvania. From that moment on, both France and Great Britain dispatched troops, although not in equal numbers. For France, the war in Europe was the top priority, so the country sent just a few troops. It also considered it was more important to protect its colonies in the West Indies, since sugar cane was more lucrative than the fur trade in New France (Canada). Great Britain on the other hand was determined to destroy France's colonial empire, and it sent more than 20,000 soldiers to America. It must also be noted that American colonists were unable to defend themselves against their Canadian counterparts, who, with the help the Native Americans excelled in the art of the guerilla warfare. For New England, it was imperative to obliterate New France and its Native allies, which were preventing the States from acquiring and occupying new land (New England had a very large population and sought new land to occupy and farm.) France waste no time in the war and attacked the British held island of Minorca. This island ended up in the hands of the French. Although France did well in the war until 1757, the tide proceeded to turn, in favor of the British troops, after William Pitt became Sec. of state for war. The British…
