The name the Hundred Years’ War has been used by historians since the beginning of the nineteenth century to describe the long conflict that pitted the kings and kingdoms of France and England against each other from 1337 to 1453. Two factors lay at the origin of the conflict: first, the status of the duchy of Guyenne (or Aquitaine)-though it belonged to the kings of England, it remained a fief of the French crown, and the kings of England wanted independent possession; second, as the closest relatives of the last direct Capetian king (Charles IV, who had died in 1328), the kings of England from 1337 claimed the crown of France.

Battle of Agincourt, (October 25, 1415), decisive battle in the Hundred Years’ War (1337–1453) that resulted in the victory of the English over the French. The English army, led by King Henry V, famously achieved victory in spite of the numerical superiority of its opponent.

On July 14th 1789, a crowd of several thousand people laid siege to the Bastille, a royal fortress, prison and armoury in eastern Paris. After a standoff of several hours, they gained access to the Bastille, overwhelmed its guards and murdered its governor. The fall of the Bastille was chiefly symbolic. The French Revolution would have days of greater political significance. Despite this, the fall of the Bastille has shaped our perceptions of the French Revolution, giving us powerful images of an outraged people in revolution.

Up until February 1917, Russia had been ruled over by a ruling family of Tsars (Emperors) for nearly two centuries…… But by 1917, enough ordinary Russians were fed up enough with the Tsar and their way of life to stage not just one but TWO Revolutions in one year

In some ways the Weimar Republic as a good place to live, at certain times and in some places. For example the constitution guaranteed rights for all people over the age of 18 to have freedom of speech and the right to vote. This was good because all people had a say in the government and the right to live in safety. Furthermore, during the Golden Age Stresemann solved some of the economic problems like hyper-inflation and got the economy going again, industry began to grow, wages went up and people were able to enjoy the new culture opportunities, showing it was a good place to live.

Describe and evaluate the development of Fenianism within the Irish Diaspora. It was fuelled ambitiously by a nationalist ideological nature and indeed evolved from pre-existing movements drilled by revolutionary inspirations. The Fenian movement is well documented despite being viewed as an illegal organisation. It can be suggested that the Fenian movement blossomed from the decay of the Young Irelanders and flourished from its influences based on the continents struggles for freedom during a period of (which was known as) the ‘springtime of the people’.

'Under the cover of the WW2, the Nazis tried to kill every Jewish man, woman and child in Europe. For the first time in History, science and technology were not used to improve peoples’ lives but for the mass murder of a whole people. Six million Jews, including 1,500,000 children were murdered: this is called the Holocaust. The Nazis also enslaved and murdered millions of other people because of racism, intolerance and prejudice. Roma and Sinti people (sometimes called Gypsies), people with disabilities, Poles, Soviet prisoners of war, Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals and others were killed in vast numbers. None of this happened very long ago: some of the people involved are still alive today. Nor did it happen very far from where you live. These events occurred in the ‘civilised’ countries of modern Europe. So it was not only the lives of people at the time that were torn apart by the Holocaust, but also our ideas about how human beings treat each other. Because of this the Holocaust is important not only as an event in history but also for how we live our lives today.’   Extract from ‘Torn Apart’ by Imperial War Museum
