ISLAND CASTLES MEDIEVAL FORTRESSES OF GREAT BRITAIN By Edward Blanchard Corfe Castle Edinburgh Castle York Gate Back down in the heart of England, the city of York is unusual because it still possesses much of its original curtain wall Clifford's Tower Inside York's curtain wall, Clifford's Tower was built on the packed earth mound or motte of an older Norman castle which had been built after 1066. It is a quatrefoil shaped keep , which was apparently built in the 13th century, despite the claims of the official guide of its 14th century construction. It is also where hundreds of Jews were trapped and burned during one of the anti-Semitic outbursts in England. Windsor Castle Entrance Windsor Castle is one of the great fortified palaces left in Europe today. Edward the III's improvements from 1350 to 1377 alone cost over 51,000 pounds, which is the greatest sum of money spent on any one project during the entire Middle Ages. All of the main features of a medieval castle are there, beginning with the typically Norman motte in the center of the complex, predictably begun shortly after William the Conqueror's arrival. Its slope is visible just above the pedestrian gate in the foreground of the castle photo. The castle is of course still home to the royal family and has only just recovered from a catastrophic fire which gutted much of it.

The Labour Party began and—for much of its history—remained very dependent on the support of the British trade unions . This support was especially important at critical times in the party’s history, such as in World Wars I and II and after the electoral setback of 1931. The Labour Party has been the major party on the left wing of British politics since the crumbling of the Liberal Party between 1918 and 1924. Its greatest electoral support has come from the older industrial areas and from cities. After its poor electoral performance in the 1983 general election, the party’s policies and organization were overhauled and “modernized” under the successive leaderships of

Heritage > 'British Battles' Foreword: Not all of the battles have been fought on British soil, indeed not all are land battles, and some may not be as familiar to us as others but all have had a great effect on the United Kingdom. War is not glorious, life is glorious and to honour those who have paid the ultimate price is only right and proper. This section will attempt to provide an impartial testimony to the reasons for and the social and political consequences of each battle. From Hastings to El Alamein, from 1066 to 1942 these battles all added vital ingredients to make the modern Great Britain.

Boards England Introduction Planning a Trip In Depth ... Index History From Murky Beginnings to Roman Occupation Britain was probably split off from the continent of Europe some 8 millennia ago by the continental drift and other natural forces. The early inhabitants, the Iberians, were later to be identified with stories of fairies, brownies, and "little people." These are the enterprising people who are believed to have created Stonehenge, but despite that great and mysterious monument, little is known about them. They were replaced by the iron-wielding Celts, whose massive invasions around 500 B.C. drove the Iberians back to the Scottish Highlands and Welsh mountains, where some of their descendants still live today. In 54 B.C., Julius Caesar invaded England, but the Romans did not become established there until A.D. 43. They went as far as Caledonia (now Scotland), where they gave up, leaving that land to "the painted ones," or the warring Picts. The wall built by Emperor Hadrian across the north of England marked the northernmost reaches of the Roman Empire. During almost 4 centuries of occupation, the Romans built roads, villas, towns, walls, and fortresses; they farmed the land and introduced first their pagan religions, then Christianity. Agriculture and trade flourished. From Anglo-Saxon Rule to the Norman Conquest When the Roman legions withdrew, around A.D. 410, they left the country open to waves of invasions by Jutes, Angles, and Saxons, who established themselves in small kingdoms throughout the former Roman colony. From the 8th through the 11th century, the Anglo-Saxons contended with Danish raiders for control of the land.

The Great Depression It was appropriate that the terrible economic slump of the 1930s started in the United States, to which Europe seemed to have surrendered economic leadership during the Great War and on which she had been dependent ever since. Stock Market Crash The stock market crash that began on a black Friday in October 1929 and deepened in the ensuing months had immediate repercussion in Europe. Indeed, even before this, the superheated boom in stock prices that marked the bull market of 1928 siphoned money from Europe. The pricking of the bubble sent shock waves throughout the world. Large exports of American capital had helped sustain Europe, besides providing an outlet for American surpluses of capital, during the 1920s. Investment in European bonds now contracted sharply and swiftly, as banks that were "caught short" with too many of their assets invested in securities desperately tried to raise money. By June 1930, the price of securities on Wall Street was about 20 percent, on average, of what it had been prior to the crash; between 1929 and 1932 the Dow-Jones average of industrial stock prices fell from a high of 381 to a low of 41! The American market for European imports also dropped sharply as the entire American economy went into shock; and, to compound trouble, congress insisted on passing a high tariff law in 1930, against the advice of almost all economists. Effective operation of the international economy required that the United States import goods to allow foreign governments to pay for American loans. Moreover, the raising of tariffs set off a chain reaction as every government tried to protect itself against an adverse trade balance leading to currency deterioration. The result was a drying up of world trade that further fueled the economic downturn. The Americans, additionally, continued to insist upon repayment of war debts, until finally in 1931 a general moratorium was declared. Well might Europeans complain of American blindness, but these events only exposed Europe's vulnerability.

The war also elevated national pride in people and a sense that Italy was one nation with a common cause rather than divided by class antagonisms. And one Italian so elevated and proud to have fought in the war was Benito Mussolini. Benito Mussolini was the son of a worker-intellectual, a blacksmith - who named his son after the 19th century Mexican revolutionary, Benito Juarez. Benito Mussolini was a bright boy and a voracious reader in his youth. He suffered from poverty as a young man and hated the rich. More accurately, he envied the rich. But he sought recognition more than personal wealth. He was for a time a school teacher, and he rose to become editor of a Socialist Party newspaper. In 1915, as Italy pondered whether to go to war, Mussolini broke with the pacifism of the socialists. He editorialized for Italy's involvement in the war on the side of the Allies, claiming that France's defeat would end liberty in Europe. He argued that Italy's involvement in the war would hasten the socialist revolution. The Socialist Party responded by expelling him. So Mussolini started his own newspaper

Henry VII, Tudor House of Tudor Reigned: 1485-1509 Henry VII, son of Edmund Tudor and Margaret Beaufort, was born in 1457. He married Elizabeth of York in 1486, who bore him four children: Arthur, Henry, Margaret and Mary. He died in 1509 after reigning 24 years. Henry descended from John of Gaunt, through the latter's illicit affair with Catherine Swynford; although he was a Lancastrian, he gained the throne through personal battle. The Lancastrian victory at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 left Richard III slain on the field, York ambitions routed, and Henry proclaimed king. From the onset of his reign, Henry was determined to bring order to England after 85 years of civil war. His marriage to Elizabeth of York combined both the Lancaster and York factions within the Tudor line, eliminating further discord in regards to succession. He faced two insurrections during his reign, each centered around "pretenders" who claimed a closer dynastic link to the Plantagenets than Henry. Lambert Simnel posed as the Earl of Warwick, but his army was defeated and he was eventually pardoned and forced to work in the king's kitchen. Perkin Warbeck posed as Richard of York

About the Great Depression T he Great Depression was an economic slump in North America, Europe, and other industrialized areas of the world that began in 1929 and lasted until about 1939. It was the longest and most severe depression ever experienced by the industrialized Western world. Almost all nations sought to protect their domestic production by imposing tariffs, raising existing ones, and setting quotas on foreign imports. The effect of these restrictive measures was to greatly reduce the volume of international trade: by 1932 the total value of world trade had fallen by more than half as country after country took measures against the importation of foreign goods. Source The International Depression The Great Depression of 1929-33 was the most severe economic crisis of modern times. Millions of people lost their jobs, and many farmers and businesses were bankrupted. Industrialized nations and those supplying primary products (food and raw materials) were all affected in one way or another. In Germany the United States industrial output fell by about 50 per cent, and between 25 and 33 per cent of the industrial labour force was unemployed. The Depression was eventually to cause a complete turn-around in economic theory and government policy. In the 1920s governments and business people largely believed, as they had since the 19

The Ottoman Empire aligned itself with Germany against Russia, Great Britain, France, and Italy. The war gave Britain an excuse to depose the Egyptian Khedive, Abbas Hilmy, and it created a British protectorate there. British troops occupied southern Iraq. The Ottomans attacked the Suez Canal. The British instigated an Arab Hashemite revolt against the Ottomans in Palestine. Sir Henry McMahon, British High Commissioner in Cairo, had promised to support Arab independence if the Hashemite tribe under the rule of Sharif Husayn of Mecca would rise up against the Ottomans. The Arab world had been ablaze with nationalist aspirations since the mid nineteenth century, due in part to exposure to American democratic ideology transmitted through such institutions as the American University of Beirut. Some claimed that McMahon was ambiguous about whether an independent Palestine was to be included in his promise to the Arabs, but there was no mistaking that Husayn thought the promise did include Palestine.

Great Britain: Orders in Council and Licenses. 1800-1810 By Tom Holmberg Introduction The maritime war between Great Britain and France was a great opportunity for neutral trade.  Exports from the United States rose from $20 million in 1790 to 138.6 million by 1807. The outbreak of war in 1793 saw the British government gradually enforce increasingly rigorous policies towards neutral trade.  To counter British naval superiority, France had opened its colonial ports, which had been closed before the war, to neutral trade. Britain pledged to put an end to neutral trade.  The United States held that if a ship was neutral, the goods on board were also neutral—"free ships make free goods." Britain on the other hand followed its Rule of 1756, a policy the United States had accepted as part of Jay's Treaty of 1795, which held that neutrals could not in wartime engage in trade that had been prohibited during peacetime. In 1783 the Earl of Sheffield wrote, in regards to opening the British colonies to free trade with the newly-liberated United States, "The Navigation act, the basis of our great power at sea, gave us the trade of the world: if we alter that act, by permitting any state to trade with our islands, or by suffering any state to bring into this country any produce but its own, we desert the Navigation act, and sacrifice the marine of England."  After the start of the war with France, the Order in Council of July 1783 reaffirmed Britain's commitment to the Navigation Act.
