Oliver Cromwell And The English Civil War
[ send me this paper ]
25 pages in length. The English Civil War was waged for several reasons, none of which are atypical to the origin of most every war in history. Power, greed and fear are the primary instigators that propel people and countries into the ravages of battle, often never solving the problem that threw them into war in the first place. Oliver Cromwell and the Roundheads’ participation were instrumental in the English Civil War, establishing a quest for revenge in exchange for the years of oppression they suffered. Indeed, the Roundheads, under Cromwell’s rule, were a strong force to be reckoned with; it was as a direct result of their moral commitment to battle that they came to be known as an incredible fighting force. The writer discusses the causes of the English Civil War, as well as focuses upon Cromwell and the Roundheads. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Glorious Revolution
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that examines the bloodless revolt of 1688-89, referred to as the "Glorious Revolution," the competing political factions of the country, the Whigs and the Tories, united to dispose James II and in favor his daughter Mary and her husband, William, Stadtholder of the Netherlands. While this extraordinary chain of events may seem out of context with the century of stability and security that followed, it really was not. As William B. Willcox, of Yale University, has pointed out, it was James II who was the revolutionary and not the insurrectionists. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

The writer discusses how the Crusades afforded a considerably elevated level of civilized culture as it pertained to artistic and literary styles. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Nobility & Peasantry in Medieval Times
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page comparison and contrast of the lives of peasants and nobles during medieval times in Europe. Without even delving deeply, this is a subject which obviously contains far more contrasts than comparisons, especially in comparing to the differences between the elite and the commoner today. The nobles of medieval times were less involved with any form of rigid work or quest for mere survival, which contrasts highly with the lives of the peasants who were continuously concerned with their survival, and the survival of their families and friends. This is but one of the many issues addressed herein. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
