Absolute monarchs were rulers with complete authority over the government and lives of the people he or she governs. During the Age of Absolutism, powerful new dynasties emerged such as the Hapsburgs in Spain and the Bourbons in France. Furthermore, both these families highly believed in the idea of divine right where their authority to rule came directly from God.
So, divine right is the idea where a monarch's ruling power or authority comes from God.

- The Allied Command thought the bunkers were short term and therefore did not make too much effort to consolidate its position or make its troops much more comfortable.
-
The German Command, however, had realized that they would remain in Flanders and Northern France for several years after their assault on the West Front had failed. They have also made considerable strides to build strong defensive positions.
-
Another explanation for the German response being remarkable and unprecedented was that the German imperial army was invading Belgium towards France, which implied Kaiser's army was up and up on the ridges, while the English and French armies were in the lowlands of the valleys with water levels about 20 cm below the surface.
-
The Allies, bolstered by American forces, had a hard time getting the formidable defences of the German war machinery, later in the war, whenever the Germans withdrew to the Hindenburg line (called after the head of German general staff, Paul von Hindenburg).
The Compromise of 1850 was a package of five separate bills passed by the United States Congress in September 1850, which defused a four-year political confrontation between slave and free states on the status of territories acquired during the Mexican–American War (1846<span>–1848).</span>
