of the 1886 Home Rule Bill was due to ‘tactical mistakes’ made by Gladstone? The failure of the home rule bill in 1886 was due, to a large extent, to the tactical mistakes made by gladstone, such as the failure to unite his party and his underestimation of conservative opposition towards the bill. However, it could also be argued that other factors, such as the sectarian nature of Irish society and subsequent opposition in Ulster also played a major role in the failure of the Home Rule Bill and thus
Civil War in Ireland in 1914 Introduction The third home rule bill sparked Unionism to be born whose members opposed the bill, which in turn brought about Nationalism who sought to protect it. These two paramilitary groups brought Ireland to the brink of civil war by 1914. When Liberals won power in 1906 they tried to keep the Irish question in the background ensuring it stayed well down the political agenda. But in 1910 things changed and the election lead to the Irish nationals
Between 1910 and 1914 there was a series of crises over the House of Lords, women's suffrage, industrial unrest, and Irish Home Rule, which all had a damaging effect on the Liberals. The party, it seemed were 'unable to cope with and adapt to pre-war politics'. There was increasing conflict between the House of Lords and the House of Commons between 1909 and 1911. The Conservatives used their in-built majority in the House of Lords to prevent bills being passed to become acts, such as education
Irish home rule is one of the most important bills in Ireland’s history. Though continually rejected, Irish home rule remained in the hearts of the people and eventually gave Ireland self-government from Britain. The Irish people were determined to have home rule enacted and, in time, the bill was passed, but not without a few bumps in the road to getting the document approved. Home Rule can be defined as, “self-government in local matters by a city, province, state, or colony that is part of a
Home Rule It all took place between the 1870's and 1920's. Home rule was a huge part of the political life in Ireland, which meant that the Irish Parliament would be restored for most issues, but the British government would still cover many important areas (Conflict 3). The term Government Association started to be used very frequently; Isaac Butt was the gentleman who founded this association. In 1873 this became known as the Home Rule League and in 1874 a general election was held where fifty
The First World War as a Turning Point in Britain's Relations with India The First World War was a definite turning point in Britain’s relations with India.

The Partitioning of Ireland in 1921 In this essay I am going to explain why Irelandwas partitioned into two parts in 1921. The two partitioned parts are known today as Northern Ireland (Ulster) and The Republic of Ireland (Eire). Ireland was partitioned in 1921 after an agreement was made by the Anglo-Irish Treaty which was finally passed by the House of Commons without it being blocked by the House of Lords. In my essay I will describe of the factors, which contributed to the partition
This can likewise be said for the people of India as many people had an intense desire for independence from the British rule. They had come to realise that the ways the British had been treating people were cruel and monstrous. This had almost left India ungovernable and in a state of anarchy. Many Indians supported Britain and the war effort at the start of the war in 1914 could
The first event that led up to the war was the Home Rule Crisis. Ever since the 1880s, the Irish people wanted their own self-government. Eventually in 1912, after continuous efforts, the Irish finally got what they wanted when the British passed the Third Home Rule Act. This act simply gave Ireland political control over their own country. However, this did not last long because a group called the Ulster Unionists did not agree with Ireland’s home rule. The Ulster Unionists were a political party
Liberal Reform 1906-1914 The huge scale of the Liberal party's victory in the 1906 general election guaranteed many new faces among the ranks of Liberal MPs, in favour of change in the field of social welfare.

conditions within England. Shortly after the First World War had passed the Liberal Party’s support declined greatly, but why? Dangerfield believed that the state of the Liberal Party was that they were doomed to fail prior to the outbreak of war in 1914.

For instance the: Constitutional Crisis; challenges from the Labour Party; increasing communist ideas; Trade

In order to demonstrate their desire to be a separate, free nation, violent ambushes and rallies took place, the more significant ones led by Daniel O’Connell who was a leader of a group called the Repeal Association who showed their objection to the Union
War at Sea 1)The war at sea was of minimal importance at the start of the war, but it became of great importance towards the end. The war at sea was mainly a tactical battle when it finally had an effect. But up until that point the sea was used for shipping goods such as cotton into Britain. Britain relied on the goods which were shipped in, this was mainly because of Britain's large population. The last battle which took place on the sea before the start of the war was the battle of Jutland
were attending 4,321 schools in Ireland in 1849. From the 1870s the state began to support church run schools. Secondary schools were private up until The Intermediate Education Act, 1878, came into place, which funded schools depending on the results in public examinations. Some schools accepted children from poor homes at a low cost or nothing. The department of education developed a system for providing grants by the Irish Free State in 1922.

In the book, Organizing for War: France 1870-1914, Rachel Chrastil delivers a new perspective on the recovery after the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71). Chrastil provides an account of French citizens in their pursuit of recovery and preparation in the nation-state. Specifically, recovery from the French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War and preparation for future conflicts, so the French never have to face that kind of defeat again. Chrastil also offers a unique examination of the internal problems
Before 1914 in the Supreme Court case Olmstead v. United States, the United States Supreme Court and the American Judicial system, mostly followed the principles of English common law when the topic dealt with the rationality of announcing material in criminal trials. In many of the court cases, the basic viewpoint was that the procedure where the evidence was acquired had almost nothing to do with its permissibility of its practice in court. The one thing that held the police back was that they
