Era of Iterum Classica (900AD – 1450AD)
When Emperor Fabian took power in 900AD he immediately had to face the consequences of his cousins wrong doings. He decided that having so much power in one pair of hands was wrong. He reestablished the senate that Emperor Caesar had abolished in 815 BC. He opened the senate and also introduced a president. He gave the president the same amount of powers as he himself had and said that the people shall appoint the president. He arranged the very first political campaign and in 901AD, the first president took office. His name was Oksadivus Cuernico and ran his presidential campaign on more rights and less religion in Walosia. At this time, the senate consisted of 100 senators and the president and Emperor. No ministers. The emperors powers slowly faded away over the next 500 years and today the President have the saying in most cases. The Emperor only has a veto and his powers are only formal. But in 900AD, the president and emperor had to cooperate in making decisions for Walosia. The senate’s powers were to ensure that the episode like that one with Victoria would never happen again. Every bill had to go through the senate and be voted into decision.
After the fall of Empress Victoria, her supporters were seen as traitors and banned from Walosia. They settled on an island west of Walosia and named it Purisha. The nation of Purisha was officially founded in 945 AD and still exists today. Both Walosia and Purisha have been at each others throat since that time and the last major war between the two nations occurred from 1939 to 1943. The first major conflict was from 945 to 950 when Walosia disagreed on the founding of the nation. Walosia did the first attack 30th September 945. However, P...

...esulted in more focus in education and book publishing to the public. Normally you could only find hand written books in a library or university. Now, the books were printed with easy to read letters and available for everyone. The first newspaper also saw the time of day during this period and released its first edition the 7th November 1230. The just read “Newspaper” and is the predecessor to “Walosian times”. At least we think it is.
Other things that this era was famous for was the political decision to let female into public office. This resulted in female getting one step closer to having equal rights as men. Now, they had voting rights, right to public office, right to divorce without the male consent and the freedom to education. And the poisonous gas the scientist discovered, it later became the number one method of execution during the 17 to 18th century.
...allow senate to have an active role in his leadership, a notion which had been a fatal mistake for past censors of the Roman republic. Julius Caesar, the last leader of the Roman republic was conclusively at fault for the demolition of the constitutional society. His dictatorship and lack of respect for the democratic system lead to his death and the death of the republic. “The most open and deadly hatred towards him was produced by his passion for the royal power” (Plutarch)
After the expulsion of the last king of Roman Tarquin established by Brutus. The once before power monarchial government was no longer puissant. The new power was given to the consuls( from the Senate). Brutus bound the people with an oath to allow no one to reign in Rome. During the secession of the Plebs, Spurius Cassius and Postumus Cominius entered upon their consulship.
It changed women’s everyday lives too. The women got better pay and the place where they worked was safer. Children’s well being was changed too (The Nineteenth Amendment). Susan B. Anthony held a major responsibility in women suffrage through her early life, working with the National Woman Suffrage Association, and her role after her death.
The Roman Republic, was a government, governed by an intricate constitution, which was based on the idea of separation of powers. The Roman Republic, began in 509 B.C, after the end of the Roman Monarchy and lasted for over 450 years. The constitution of the Roman Republic was highly influenced by the struggle of power between the rich families, the patricians, and other Romans who were not from famous or rich families, the plebeians. Their government was divided into three main sections, very much like the Legislative Branch, Executive, Branch, and Judicial Branch. Nowadays, the Senate and assembly resemble the Legislative Branch. In the Roman Republic, the Senate was the most powerful group. The Senate passed all laws and collected taxes. The second part of this branch, was the assembly, and the assembly was elected by the Romans from the plebeian class. The assembly elected consuls, tribunes (representatives from the plebeian class), and made laws. All members of the Senate were part of the patrician class and at the head of the Senate were two consuls. The Consuls controlled the Roman army and in order to become a consul, you had to be elected by a majority of all the citizens in Rome. The consuls, are like our president and the Executive Branch. Although the method of separation of powers came from the Roman Republic, that is not all that came from the Roman Republic that became part of the United States...
During the American Revolution, we were fighting for our freedom. We fought the British from 1775 to 1783. During this time many men came forward as heroes. However, many women such as Abigail Adams, Molly Hays McCauley, Betsy ross, and many others go unnoticed. In addition, slaves were greatly affected by the revolution because it helped states abolish slavery earlier then what it would have been.
Often historical events leading up to the twentieth century are dominated by men and the role of women is seemingly non-existent outside of reproduction. When one thinks of notable and memorable names and events of the Revolution, men are the first to be mentioned. The American Revolution was mainly dominated by men including George Washington, Samuel Adams, and Benjamin Franklin. There is no denying that men were vitally important to the American Revolution, but what were the women doing? Often overlooked, the women of the Revolution played a key role in the outcome of the nation. The women of the American Revolution, although not always recognized, were an influential society that assumed risky jobs like soldiers, as well as involvement
During the late 19th century, women were in a society where man was dominant. Women did not have natural born rights, such as the right to vote, to speak in public, access to equal education, and so forth, did not stop them to fight for their rights. Women's lives soon changed when Lucy Stone, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony played a prominent role to help bring about change.
Those elected to leadership were admitted in the Senate where public affairs were discussed. Power divisions during the time were complicated and no single person was entitled to too much power. Tribunes, which comprised of ten men, were put into place in order to monitor the Senate and ensure that the interests of the people were protected. However, this system began to fall apart since certain individuals wanted to have more power than others. Such persons started to compete for that power, and use it to exploit Rome’s politics. Subsequently, competition for power led to civil wars that paved the way to the growth of a one-man leadership. Gradually, dictatorship replaced republic government, and when Augustus rose to power, he became the sole and undisputed leader of Rome.
In the 1800’s, there were many problems with American society. Many people noticed these issues and began to put together reforms and solutions to these problems. Woman had a large contribution in solving these problems. The solution to the problems are an abolition of slavery, education reform, prison reform, and temperance. One other issue is the problems with women’s rights but at this time only attention was brought to it instead of an actual solution. The transcendentalist movement also had a large effect on people during this time.
... Her influence combined with other women fighting and the spirit of rebellion already set in men spiked women's interests in their rights and made them want to struggle for their privileges. Before the American Revolution, women did not realize just how unfairly men were treating them until they experienced working, managing a household, and life without their husbands. It made them aware of their place in society and many wondered just why they were inferior to men at that time. That American Revolution was what led up to the women's rights movement of 1848 and without it, who knows when women would have ever revolted against this unjust behavior and obtained the right to vote in 1920.
There are countless activities involving women, but the most talked-about topics are women's rights, their suffrage, and the roles they played. In the 19th century, women began to take action to change their rights and way of life. Women in most states were incapable of controlling their wages, legally operating their property, or signing legal documents such as wills. Although demoted towards their own private domain and quite powerless, some women took advantage and became involved in parts of reform such as temperance and abolition. Therefore, this ultimately opened the way for women to come together in an organized movement to battle for their rights in such ways as equal education, labor, legal reform, and occupations.
The Roman Republic can be seen as a template for how the United States Government was formed, and still to this day consists of. The First influence that the Romans had on our government was their idea for a republic. They, our country as well, wanted their people to have a vote on who would represent them in government. The U.S. representative type of government was influenced by this. Today we vote for the people representing us in our Senate, House of Representatives, and our President. One of the main influences that the Ancient Romans had on the U.S. Government was the idea of the division of power. Today we have executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government. The Ancient Romans had a very similar set-up. In Rome when organizing a government, there were many different styles between monarchies, the Senate that was the aristocracy, and the voice of democracy in the people. These acted as their different branches of government. As the U.S Government has an executive branch which consists of our President and Vice President, the Romans had counsels which acted as executive leaders for a year, and controlled the military (“The Roman Republic”). The Ancient Romans also obtained a Senate, similar to our government. In Rome, it was 300 members of the wealthy and self-serving. Today, there are career senators, and elite men in society. This is the legislative branch of our government that has been derived from the Ancient Romans. Also within the legislative branch of the Romans, they had numerous assemblies like that of the U.S. Government’s House of Representatives, based on where each member lives. Our judicial branch was based off of the Roman’s Praeto...
...r equality of women whose only representation at the time was through husbands. The brave few who courageously fought in the movement reformed our country and society today. Women such as Alice Paul and Susan B Anthony not only brought on equality for women today these women also brought on a new way women thought towards themselves. Today women think of themselves as independent smart citizens who can be whoever they want to be, politicians, doctors, scientists, etc. In addition women today can wear what they choose. Along with the right of equality and the ability for women to vote there is a responsibility, women should be informed of the political candidates before they vote. All of the freedom we have is a privilege we often take for granted as we don’t think about those women who suffered, abused, and ridiculed for these rights that we have today.
This was the start of a new age in the history for women. Before the war a woman’s main job was taking care of her household more like a maid, wife and mother. The men thought that women should not have to work and they should be sheltered and protected. Society also did not like the idea of women working and having positions of power in the workforce but all that change...
The first wave of feminism, the industrial revolution and Queen Victoria all of which had some sort of impact not only on this time period but also on the theatre. Feminism was just now beginning to be noticed by the societies of this time. Feminism was meant to bring equality to women it also comes from the French word féminisme (“feminism”). One of the first women feminist manifestos was Mary Wollstonecraft fought for women to have the same benefits that men had and still have (“feminism”). During the first phase of feminism that took place during the 1800s to the early 1900s and at the beginning of this time period the marital laws were changed to fit new changes in the society (“feminism”). After women were granted the right to vote they wanted more education and employment options when they were women beginning to achieve greater educational and employment access (“feminism”). Queen Victoria was born on May 18,1819 and died on January 22, 1901(British). Queen Victoria was a strong woman that knows how to rule a country. So when she influenced feminism in the since that she brought light to how woman were treated (British). “Industrial Revolution has three major societal transition point that follows and was mad possible by the first two revolutions” (Martello). A British historian named Arnold Toynbee first came up with the name of the term “Industrial Revolution”. Since this was global it af...
