Voltaire Dbq Analysis
Europeans treated non-Christians cruel, and unfair. Voltaire was a French philosopher and writer of the Age of Enlightenment. Voltaire urged people to stop people from treating each other wrong since they have different religions. Voltaire’s argument contradicted what was being done and the consequences that Document 5 has on the mindset in the 17th and 18th centuries is that he would be punished from saying bad things about Christians. In Document 5 it states, “But these people despise us; they treat us as isolators! Very well! I will tell them that they are grievously wrong.” This shows that Europeans think/believe that they are treating them fine and well but they think/believe the incorrect. This proves that Voltaire did show that Christians

    1865 And 1900 Dbq Analysis

    Within the years 1865 and 1900, changes in farming allowed for the increased production of crops such as wheat, corn and cotton. Technology allowed the Great Plains to be opened to agriculture. Perhaps the most important advances were John Deere's steel plow (which made it much easier to break the thick and heavy soil of the area) and barbed wire (which could keep livestock out of fields). Also, according to Document A, in 1870, the production of wheat was 254 million bushels, cotton had a production of 4,352 million bushels and 1,125 million bushels of corn were produced. By 1900, the production of wheat, cotton and corn had increased to 599 million bushels, 10,124 million bushels and 2,662 million bushels respectively. This is the direct…

    The period between 1815 and 1825 was inaccurately dubbed the “Era of Good Feelings.” Despite the relatively low political opposition and boom of westward expansion and economy, bigger problems such as the economic bust as well as the differing beliefs of northern and southern states threatened the strength and unity of the nation during this time. After the war of 1812, the surge of nationalistic feelings took place, but, simultaneously, there were underlying forces of sectionalism.…

    Confederation Dbq Analysis

    In 1643, there were four New England colonies who formed a confederation and they came up with the Articles of Confederation. In 1697, William Penn brought forth a plan of union which never was implemented. Last but not least in 1754, Benjamin Franklin came up with the Albany Plan of Union. “The history of colonial efforts to cooperate or unite demonstrates that the colonies had no strong or sustainable need for a common government.” All of those plans never went into effect but that doesn't mean that they didn't want to unite. In the following paragraphs I'm going to state why I think this statement is wrong by using documents A, B, and C.…

    19th Century Dbq Analysis

    In the late nineteenth century, the rapid growth of cities, caused by industrialism and immigration, created significant issues that mainly affected the impoverished, leading reformers to push for a government response to these problems. Since immigrants and citizens were moving to the cities in search of jobs, overcrowding became a major problem. The creation of steel, allowing for skyscrapers to be made, allowed for cities to grow up, not out, creating more space, yet landlords still crowded laborers into tenements. Due to low wages, the gap between the rich and the poor was immense, and poverty was rampant throughout the cities. In an effort to help the impoverished, the Salvation Army was created, and reformers such as Jacob Riis attempted…

    Scramble For Africa Dbq Analysis

    Menelik II, emperor of Ethiopia, appealed to the great powers of Europe to have mercy on Ethiopia in sight of their common faith (Doc. 3). He believed that his appeal to their shared faith would cause the Europeans to rethink their actions, but Menelik II did not understand that the Europeans regarded material wealth as more important than their faith. Ndansi Kumalo described how the British treated the Africans like animals, and they had superior weapons (Doc. 4). Ndansi Kumalo and his people did not understand that the British had superior weapons, so they were defeated and bewildered by the horrendous treatment they received from the British. Mojimba, an African chief recounted a battle against the British and African mercenaries, and he described how the Europeans had rifles (Doc. 9). Mojimba believed that the Europeans were more evil than the Africans were, and he realized that the Europeans were more evil than the Africans were, and he realized that the Europeans were hypocritical in the Christian faith with their malevolent actions. Menelik II’s option that the European powers would not attack his country because they shared the same faith was influenced by his faith as a fellow Christian and his understanding of Christianity that Christian powers should be friendly toward one another. The African leaders had a difficult time understanding the European culture and…

    Lastly, I was able to make my decision, of whether to stay or not, based off of the lack of support and supply provided to us. A painting of George Washington talking to the Congressional Committee is shown to represent the struggles G.W. had to go through to get his men the bare minimums that they needed to survive. (Doc.B) Washington is trying to get the committee to meet his soldiers, so that they will be persuaded to give them (the soldiers) supplies that they needed at Valley Forge. (Doc B) The soldiers shown in the painting are obviously not patient and calm when it came to asking for help from others because they were desperately in need.

    Philip II Augustus's Support Of The Jews Of France

    “Long the objects of Christian polemic, hated as moneylenders by ordinary people, and feared by the clergy as successful competitors with Christianity, Jews became easy scapegoats for rulers who wished to exploit fear and prejudice. In 1182, Philip II Augustus, eyeing the wealthy Jews of Paris, ordered all nonconverting Jews out of France and confiscated their property and possessions,” (248). It was very harsh to banish an entire group of people based on their religion but Phillip the King had motivations to order all non-converting Jews out of France. They did this because the Jews living in France had become so rich and claimed almost half of the city, they began to have Christians work as servant in their households. This then causes…

    dbq thesis

    The enlightened despots indicated a belief in the equality of men and natural rights. They thought the people should be able to prosper, yet these “enlightened rulers” ruled in a despotic fashion. They believed that they had absolute power and that they were the state. Their words went above everybody's no matter what. In some kind of sense it was kind of like a parent to child relationship. The parent has the right to rule over the child to keep them in line. In the social order group, documents 1 and 6 prove this valid. For example, document 1 states, “ Argue as much as you will, only obey!” This is a contradiction that shows the demanding qualities of an enlightened despot. No one knows better then them. Also, document 6 states,”What is the true End on Monarchy? Not to deprive people of their natural liberty; but to correct their actions, in order to attain the supreme good...” This also shows that the leaders thought that they had the divine right to rule over the people like this. Both documents use social order to prove that the despots really just think that they are the ultimate ruler. In the political group, documents 4 and 8 also prove this valid. For example, document 4 states,” a ruler must be ready to sacrifice his life for the welfare of his subjects.” This shows that the despots were also enlightened. They did think that they were absolute rulers but they also took into account the welfare of their people. The despots wanted to make sure that their people were prospering and improving their quality of life. Also, document 8 states,”her policies will be based on Machiavellianism.” Again, this shows that the despots had the power to act like the state- absolutely and, if necessary, ruthlessly. They had no one standing in their way. It can be thought that these despots were just trying to win the crowd over by pleasing the people. They could achieve popular support this way. They were just really using the thought that they cared about the…

    When people began sorting themselves based on language, race, and religion, it was necessary to draw lines and exclude people. The emergence of states, and the births of new religions forced societies to choose how to treat others. Despite several religion’s moral argument that outsiders were equal, many early societies failed to believe in this, and driven by fear created a permanent rift between themselves and their neighbors.…
