The British in A Passage to India believed that they “were necessary to India; there would certainly be bloodshed without them” (Forster 103). The Indians, on the other hand, did not feel the same way; they were being oppressed in their own country and they could do very little about improving their lack of power. The English’s strong control is epitomized when two English visitors go on a trip to the Marabar Caves with Doctor Aziz, the main character. One of the English visitors is allegedly…

entered into its second war with the British, not too long after the Revolution. In 1812 The US entered into war with the British, due in large part to high tensions caused by the bothersome British acts of impressment of U.S. sailors. While the British were fighting the United States abroad they also had to fight the French in their home seas. This was a great benefit to the United States because it caused the British navy to be split in two. Although, many people at the time concluded that…

that the British were to blame, and not the wealthy in America. The founding fathers did this to gain the power that Britain had over the colonies. Some historians however argue that the colonists liberties were violated and that subsequently lead to the colonist revolt.

March in protest of British rule. This particular march forged a spiral of events across the country that eventually ushered in the era of India’s independence. Gandhi initially led seventy-eight of his nonviolence disciples from Sabarmati Ashram to the seaside village of Dandi, with many more joining the Salt March as the crowd passed through several Indian towns and villages in the twenty-four day trek. As the name suggests, the Salt March was conducted to protest against the British…

ensued from the lasting discontent with the Morley-Minto reforms, mainly from the well educated of society. Despite the introduction of the reforms British sovereignty over India did not dispel and no increase in national power occurred.

The American colonists were justified in declaring their independence from Great Britain due to the implementation of the Proclamation of 1763, the British taxing…

The official IRA was opposed to violent tactics and ultimately declared a ceasefire. The Provisional IRA, made up of more traditional Irish republicans, was determined to use the tactics of “armed struggle.” Ultimately, this resonated more with the Irish people, and the Provisional IRA became the de facto IRA.…
