In this correspondence, the British representative promised to Hussein that if the Arabs revolt against the Turks, the British government would grant them independence.

The initial reaction in Ireland to the Rising was shock and anger. Following the executions, the nationalist community closed ranks against the British government. The most famous reaction to the Rising is the poem "Easter 1916"
suspicions that French President de Gaulle did not want Britain to enter in order to maintain his country's hegemony over the EEC.

The following is my assessment of these situations according to the Salmon documents. Throughout document 23, Prime Minister Macmillan continuously
notably the windows and the aluminum alloy, De Havilland engineers based their decisions on misleading data. They believed that, despite the Comet’s unusual design aspects, it erred very reasonably on the side of safety. Pressure from the British government to beat other companies and countries to the jetliner era certainly would have made De Havilland test as thoroughly as it could as quickly as it could, and in their haste the engineers did not detect damage which emerged quite gradually.

The British Columbia government has been exploiting their residents for far too long, by quietly promoting the private schools of the region. Although many are not aware, the BC government is withdrawing tax money and awarding it to independent schools. There is clearly a flaw in this system, where “independent” schools become reliant on government handouts. This amoral implementation of government funding is having profound effects on the schooling careers of public school students all across the
The desertion by the British government of the laissez-faire approach was instigated by a magnitude of rationales that induced this transformation of attitude. Laissez-faire translates from French to denote ‘let do’ or in English terminology to ‘leave alone’.

and the second idea is British government must sooner or later end. In the first point about the connection with the British, Paine states that America can benefit much more if it was not connected to the British for many reasons. One of them is trade with other European countries will decline or even go to ruins because if Europe breaks out into a war other countries will not trade with America because of the connection with the British. Second is the fact that the British does not protect us unless
