Answer:

Well, I figure it depends on the individual you're asking. On one hand, Sir Francis Drake was adored in Britain, particularly by the Ruler, since his investigations brought numerous wealth to his domestic nation. On the other hand, he was a privateer, so to say, since he stole that gold and wealth from other ships he came over. Also, he was portrayed as "ruthless, self-important, self-willed, avaricious, money-minded, and flippant" man, so I figure he would be more of a lowlife than a hero.

Well, I guess it depends on the person you're asking.
On one hand, Sir Francis Drake was loved in England, especially by the Queen, because his explorations brought many riches to his home country. On the other hand, he was a pirate, so to say, because he stole that gold and riches from other ships he came across. Additionally, he was described as <span>"ruthless, arrogant, self-willed, covetous, money-minded, and amoral" man, so I guess he would be more of a villain than a hero.</span>

How did Militarism and Nationalism lead to World War 1?
PolarNik [594]
Nationalism was a great cause of World War one because of countries being greedy and not negotiating. Nationalism shows you are proud of your country and want it to be the best. A lot of causes all linked back to countries all wanted to be better than each other. Nationalist groups in Austria-Hungary and Serbia wanted independence. France wanted Alsace Lorraine back from Germany who was lost in 1871 Franco-Prussian war. The use of Nationalism gave nations false hope and aggressive to win the war. Even if they weren’t able to win a war due to their strength and understanding of plans and leaders. This leads to Imperialism. As you can see Nationalism had made a big dent in Countries understanding and strength of war. Also how different countries wanted land to help their plan succeed in winning the war.


Militarism could have cause the war due to the naval and arms race. The main event of Militarism causing World War one was the naval rivalry which was made after 1900. Britain had the most powerful navy in the world. The new Keiser Wilhelm announced his intention to build a bigger German navy than Britain. Britain felt very threatened by this. Germany’s navy was much smaller than Britain’s navy but the British army was put all over its colonies so they can be protected. Germany didn’t have a big Empire like Britain but most people agreed, at the time, they were the best trained and the most powerful. The Kaiser felt he needed a bigger navy than Britain to protect its country.

What role did economic considerations play in propelling america into war in 1898?
dusya [7]
After the explosion of the USS Maine, the US public was whipped up into an anti-Spanish hysteria. Despite Spain's desire to avoid war and President William McKinley's distaste for war, the yellow press continued feeding the public's appetite for anti-Spanish news. Hawks like then-Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt loudly criticized the reluctant McKinley for being weak and afraid.
