The Main Strengths and Weaknesses of the Protectorate, 1653-1658 Cromwell was installed as Lord Protector in December 1653, and throughout his time as Protector, Cromwell aimed to 'heal and settle' the wounds of the past and to create a 'godly England'. However, by the end of his life the Protectorate had the support of a narrow population. Nevertheless, the Protectorate had various strengths and weaknesses. An evident strength of the Protectorate was the aim to achieve a civilian based
Missing The new constitution was called the Humble Petition and Advice and was presented to Cromwell in March 1657. It was an attempt to return to the 'good old days' when the monarch's powers were checked by the Privy Council and both Houses of Parliament. Cromwell was also invited to be King. Cromwell struggled over a month as to what he should do. In the end, Cromwell accepted most of the Humble Petition but rejected the crown. This poses the question as to why Cromwell turned down the offer

advance. When Cromwell’s army reached Wexford, a defecting officer allowed his army to march into the fort and conquer it. After this, his army moved west. Many villages after Drogheda and Wexford did not want to be under Cromwell’s rule, but the Protectorate offered “protection from looting” and “no harm to the officers” if they did not fight. Most of the villages agreed to these terms. Although the harsh climate of Ireland and winter eventually forced Cromwell to retreat to England, he had conquered
lowest rung. The trafficking of Africans through the Transatlantic Slave Trade, brought wealth to European and other western nations as well as African leaders who were willing to cooperate. Europeans, such as the Portuguese, British, and French, first began arriving to Africa in the 16th century since they were drawn by the valuable resources that could be found in coastal, African societies. Early on, African leaders were able to maintain power over the Europeans and prevented the foreigners The

But first there were still tasks to be done. (1) There was the conquest of Ireland, the expropriation of its landowners and peasantry - the first big triumph of English imperialism and the first big defeat of English democracy. For the petty bourgeoisie of the Army, despite the warnings of many of the Leveller leaders, allowed themselves to be distracted

With the longest coastline on the continent, its terrain consists mainly of plateaus, plains, and highlands. It is made up of the former British Protectorate of Somaliland and Italy’s former Trust Territory of Somalia. Somalia’s modern history began in the late 1800’s, when European powers began to trade and settle in the Somalia area. These events and the events that occurred during the 20th century
The Presbyterian Party controlled the parliament, the supreme power of the state , and used it as a tool to defend its own interests.Economically , they made a lot of money by auctioning off the land of the king's party and the church , which fell into the hands of the big bourgeoisie and the upper-class new aristocracy .

creation of the East Africa Protectorate by the British Empire in 1895. In 1963, the United Kingdom relinquished power over the Colony of Kenya and the Sultan of Zanzibar agreed to cease his dominance over the Protectorate of Kenya, resulting in Kenya’s establishment as a sovereign, independent state. Following its independence, Kenya was dominated by the Kenya African National Union (KANU), a political party formed by Jomo Kenyatta who would go on to become the country’s first president. It is currently
Uganda too is another country, which did not even exist before the white man went there. Even the name reflects the ideas of the first explorers, whose gateway into the new territory was via the Buganda tribe, whom they were later to use as their colonial agents as British rule was extended. Those who 'discovered' Ugandan and the source of the Nile which the first explorers were seeking - men such as Speke and Stanley - and the soldiers and administrators who came after them undoubtedly believed

Nigeria was colonized by the world leader at the time; Britain, and was claimed as a colony in 1914. Although both Britain and the Royal Niger Company had been claiming parts of Nigeria as a protectorate, their control over Nigeria was achieved through both peace treaties and military actions. Europe didn’t officially recognize Britain’s control over Nigeria until after the Berlin Conference which gave Britain full right to Nigeria, and Britain hastened to forcefully control the area after civil
During the early days of war in the pacific in World War 2 the Japanese and Australian armies were locked in bitter fighting along the 96 km Kokoda trail in Papua New Guinea. The Kokoda trail is viewed today as an icon of Australian spirit and history, as well as the forming of a strong relationship between Papua New Guinea and Australia. The trail passes through rugged mountainous country of rainforest and jungles, and is a treacherous passage from Buna on the North coast to Port Moresby (the Capital)
fled to Europe after the six articles, such as Hooper, Becon, and Turner, all returned. Many were writers banned under Henry VIII, along with Luther and other European Protestants. Guy points out that 159 out of 394 new books printed during the Protectorate were written by Protestant reformers. Reformers predominated the Privy council under Somerset, and reform was popular amongst the gentry of the time. But outside London and East Anglia Protestantism was not a major force.

Yet, its life as a sultanate did not last much, due to the anti-British sentiments among its people. Fearing a mass revlot, the British decided to grant Egypt its independence in 1922, thus proclaiming the Kingdom of Egypt, with Sarwat Pasha as its first Prime Minister. Though de jure an independent state, much of Egypt’s domestic and foreign affairs remained under the direct control of the British. This led to the revolution of 1952, which overthrew the King, abolished the monarchy and established
eventually became a self-governing nation. Britain first became interested in West Africa because of trade, and for the most part, slave trade. Britain had been looking for ways to better colonize the Americas and fill the demand for labor there, and these slaves were the answer to Britain’s problems. Slave trade in West Africa had begun as early as the sixteenth century. Over the next 300 years, this trade had been sustained. In 1807, the British Parliament outlawed the slave trade.
