Thomas Paine’s style and his call to action appeals to the common man. Paine says this as he is calling to action the ordinary man to participate in the Revolution, “ I turn with the warm ardor of a friend to those who have nobly stood, and yet are determined to stand the matter out : I call not upon a few , but upon all : not this state or that state , but on every state : up and help us ; lay your shoulders to the wheel ; better have too much force than too little , when so great an object is at stake . “ paragraph 4 , The American Crisis Number One . Thomas Paine presents the idea of a revolution as an extensive issue that any man can help with no matter with what they align themselves with . Paine’s style has an urgent sense of heroism that comes across in an almost pleading manner that calls anyone to action for the fear of doing to little and facing the repercussions a loss could mean .

The French and the English were bitter adversaries for many years. Throughout much of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Britain and France were engaged in many vicious power fights that repeatedly flared up into worldwide wars. Nevertheless the ultimate victory over the French came at an extraordinary price for Britain. Britain spent a fortune on the French and Indian War and couldn’t raise enough money to pull together a more intimidating fighting force; which forced Britain to extract funds from its colonies. However, the colonies felt that Britain was not effective in protecting them. This along with the advancement of distinct political entities among the colonies led to a feeling that the English were no longer necessary in these areas. Likewise after winning the war Britain no longer had to govern its land, but also their new land and the

In the Revolutionary War, Franklin saw that America, who was struggling, could benefit hugely from a strong alliance with France, so he made a bold request, to form a bond. Fortunately, France agreed, and had compassion on America's cry for help amidst such trial. This treaty, which lasted for upwards

Paine goes on to split Common Sense into four chapters. The first of the chapters is entitled “Of the Origin and Design of Government in General, With Concise Remarks on the English Constitution” and it discusses the origins of humanities conceptions of society and government. Paine describes society as produced by our wants and desires, a positive promotion of happiness, a collective that unites affections, a blessing at every state and equates society to the role of the patron in direct opposition to government. Paine describes government as produced directly by our wickedness, a negative promoter of our happiness, a restrainer of vices, a necessary evil at best state and equates the government to the role of the punisher of society. Paine

As earned by previous military successes, France joined the war on the side of the Colonists with the Treaty of Alliance in 1778. The role in the Revolution by France was to support the Americans with money, troops, and principally, naval support. France was the key player in the naval war, and their naval strategy was based around political circumstance. It was guided by their aims to weaken Great Britain by stripping them of their monopoly on American trade. The French wished only to weaken Britain but not to destroy them as their assistance would be needed in the future against Russia. These limited war aims made France less inclined to attempt a direct invasion of Great Britain. France’s naval strategies were also limited by their Royal finances. They lacked the bureaucracy to implement taxes to finance the war. With the great expense that comes with naval warfare came the threat of bankruptcy. The danger of bankruptcy was enough for France to find more benefit in seeking peace. Additionally, France’s navy, itself, was limited in its expansion. There were not enough trained officers and sailors to man more than seventy ships. By these restrictions, France was looking for an opportunity to end the war quickly through an indirect attack on Britain’s power. This opportunity presented itself as New York— Britain’s primary base in stifling the revolution. Their attempt failed, however, and

In the 1790s, there were conflicts between America and both England and France. It first began when England and France went to war in 1793. President Washington enacted the Neutrality Proclamation in an effort to keep out of European wars. However, American’s continued to trade between the French and West Indies and France. The British did not agree wit this, so in return, British forces captured three hundred American Vessels.

Great Britain, being the secluded island that it is, always had the luxury of choosing to become involved in the strife across the English Channel. Before war broke out Britain's main concern was her empire abroad. To further justify her interest in affairs abroad it should be noted that the main source of Britain's influence and power was the massive amounts of resources and manpower provided in India. And her greatest concern was preserving the trade routes between Britain and India and her other interests. But she also had competition from continental Europe. Great Britain viewed France as a potential competitor for her interests in Africa, and as a result, France and England had not previously been on the best of terms.

The jay treaty, known as ‘‘The Treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation between His Britannic Majesty and The United States of America’’ was signed to resolve the tension arising the war between Britain and France and the left-over issues of the American independence war. Although United states representative, Chief Justice John Jay, had negotiated the issues that United States wanted British to address, He had a limited success on his agendas. The treaty was signed by the King George on November 19,1794 and sent to united states for signature, but the treaty faced backlash from the democratic republican faction, the public and the supporters of the France. After a secret debate in the senate which were controlled by federalist, the senates ratified, and President George Washington signed on August 18,1795. This event was the first international crisis or test that this young nation faced immediately after its independence. This treaty was seen as a betrayal of American national interest and betrayal of great American friend and ally France.

Thomas Paine was a man of many opinions; I mean my goodness the man named this “Common Sense”. He did not share in the cookie cutter lifestyle most have, which allowed him to share experiences that privileged said knowledge and opinions. He had an eager rage towards the subject of religion and government. Paine’s thought was to separate church and state. He wanted to protect religion and its freedom but felt that the government should not delegate its feelings toward the subject matter. Thomas Paine did not travel to the United States until the age of thirty-seven. He knew how England worked. The English parliament ruled towards a set national religion. He felt that if the government plugged in its two sense then the same could happen and the people would be obscured at losing one of their rights.

War over seas! This morning, November 17th, 1762, on the English Royal Navy vessel has begun with war. A French ship that supposedly followed the English vessel over night, has finally begun their attack.The French ship has been firing at us all morning. The Royal vessel has been fighting back with double the fire power, but more men and boys are being injured and killed. The French vessel is slowly breaking down, as the English have already taken down their mainmast. The English have killed more of the French then they have them, this battle may end with the English having the upper hand. Success! This small battle between the two countries has finally ended in success for Britain.

Many years later, around the 1700s, Napoleon and many other soldiers left to go to Egypt. A war between France and Britain fought on around the year 1793.The French did everything they could to fight against the Britain. Along the shores, the French tried with great effort to protect themselves and the local natives against Britain. Unfortunately, Britain outnumbered

In the American war of independence in 1775 to 1783 France directed its forces to assist the Americans. French aid was pivotal in compelling the British to surrender at Yorktown in 1781. However although the Americans gained much from France’s support it led to no successful tangible results for France but it had

There are many events that took place between England and France that built up to what is known as the Hundred Year’s War. William of Normandy’s conquest of the duchy of Aquitaine allowed England to have claim over lands in France. This increased tension between the English king, Edward III, and the French king, Phillip VI, that would inevitably create a war that lasted one hundred and sixteen years (Fiero 175).

ii)King William’s War (1689-1687), Queen Anne’s War began 1701 brought border fighting w/ Spanish, French and Indian allies. Treaty of Utrech 1713 ended conflicts, gave much land to

The English rulers of the time, achieved a massive debt in England because they, did not appreciate French people on the American continent and went to war. In England, they called this the Seven Years War, because of how fighting, in the war, lasted a little longer than seven years. By the end of the war England had succeeded in kicking the French out, but had also put themselves in large economic pit. The result was a
