Was the Civil War inevitable? This was one of the most controversial arguments in American history. Personally‚ I think this war would happen sooner or later. The long-term cause was the different ideas on the slavery system between the North and the South. After the Confederates attacked Fort Sumter‚ the Civil War began. Slavery was the biggest problem between the North and the South. The economy in the south relied on agriculture. The owners of big plantations required thousands of slaves to

The British Empire was the largest the world had known. It was said “the sun never sets on the British Empire‚” as it was so large it covered all time zones. Britain had a small population and army so governing was done by inflicting a devastating military defeat on the conquered nation. The defeat was so great that would be no future resistance. It had the desired effect of scaring the locals into doing anything they could to maintain Britain’s favor. This kept the peace. Part of this would

The American Civil War‚ a bloody and brutal conflict that claimed the lives of over 600‚000 individuals. The war was fought between the Union and Confederacy‚ also known as the North and the South. It is considered by many to be a turning point within American history because it ended the issues of rights and slavery in the U.S. And while the war was also believed to be inevitable‚ the outcome certainly was not. Many factors such as Confederate strategy‚ lack of morale‚ and the outcome of the of

World War 1 was inevitable. Throughout generations‚ wars happened all across the globe‚ between countries‚ cities‚ and even small ones between families. A war that was spread across every major country was bound to happen‚ one way or another. World War 1 had many rising causes that would eventually have started a war‚ such as Militarism in countries and Alliances between great powers and world leaders‚ the immediate cause was the assassination of the Archduke of Austria.

mid-1900s was the immense control it had over the economies and politics in Asia. Trade and production were tailored to serve colonial needs‚ and opposition to colonial rule was suppressed easily. In this context‚ claiming that colonialism was inevitable seems valid as Asian countries could neither resist colonial expansion‚ nor throw off the colonial yoke. However‚ when one considers the wider history of Asia‚ this claim falls apart. This is because there were time periods where colonialism was unachievable

What Extent Was the Cold War Inevitable? With the end of World War II (WWII) in 1945 began the Cold War‚ an international conflict that lasted from 1947–1991 and plagued nations across the globe. As the post-war negotiations were deliberated by three of the strongest world powers‚ the United States (US)‚ Britain‚ and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)‚ disagreements arose that created tension between the US and the USSR and ultimately instigated the infamous “Fifty Years War” (Crockatt

2) I think the Civil War was inevitable because of the federal government’s treatment and sometimes babying of the South. As stated earlier‚ every time the South wanted something (increased federal protection of slavery‚ expansion of slavery. etc.) or were against a law passed (Tariff – Nullification Crisis of 1832) their go-to method of getting their way was to threaten secession from the union. I think the fact that the federal government sometimes entertained them was what made the South so bold

Was the Civil War Inevitable or Not? “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Abraham Lincoln uttered these words on June 17‚ 1858 at the Republican state convention in Illinois. Three short years later‚ the first shots of the Civil War would be fired at Fort Sumter. Brothers fighting brothers‚ killing 620‚000 of their own. This would be the start of the bloodiest war in American history. The debate over popular sovereignty‚ the conflicting opinions on slavery‚ and the publication

it would have been very hard to prevent the War for independence. The American enlightenment‚ however‚ could have been stopped. A large majority of Americans wanted independence from England mainly because of the way they were being ruled. Of the Americans that wanted to break away were from many backgrounds‚ they came from all over the social ladder and from all over the world. If they didn’t all come together to be equal around each other then the War for Independence still would have happened‚
