In 60 BC, Caesar, Crassus and Pompey formed the First Triumvirate, a political alliance that dominated Roman politics for several years. Their attempts to amass power as Poplars were opposed by the Optimates within the Roman Senate, among them Cato the Younger with the frequent support of Cicero. Caesar rose to become one of the most powerful politicians in the Roman Republic through a string of military victories in the Gallic Wars, completed by 51 BC, which greatly extended Roman territory. During this time he both invaded Britain and built a bridge across the Rhine river. These achievements and the support of his veteran army threatened to eclipse the standing of Pompey, who had realigned himself with the Senate after the death of Crassus in 53 BC. With the Gallic Wars concluded, the Senate ordered Caesar to step down from his military command and return to Rome. Leaving his command in Gaul would mean losing his immunity to criminal prosecution by his enemies; knowing this, Caesar openly defied the Senate's authority by crossing the Rubicon and marching towards Rome at the head of an army.[2] This began Caesar's civil war, which he won, leaving him in a position of near unchallenged power and influence.

The diplomatic neutrality of the United States was tested during the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815). The warring nations of Britain and France both imposed trade restrictions in order to weaken each other's economies. These restrictions also disrupted American trade and threatened American neutrality. As time went on, British harassment of American ships increased. Controversial measures included British impressment of American men and seizure of American goods. After the Chesapeake Affair in June 1807, pitting the British warship Leopard against the American frigate Chesapeake, President Thomas Jefferson faced a decision regarding the situation at hand. Ultimately, he chose an economic option to assert American rights: The Embargo Act of 1807.
Impressment
Although not restricted to the presidential administrations of Jefferson and James Madison, the on-going impressment of American sailors became a key issue for the United States during the Napoleonic Wars. After witnessing the horrors of war with France, many British sailors deserted His Majesty's navy and enlisted in the American merchant marines. In order to retrieve the deserters, British "press gangs" came aboard American ships. The British, however, tended to take anyone who could pass as a British soldier – unless the sailor could prove his American citizenship. Approximately 1,000, out of the estimated 10,000 men taken from American ships, were proven to have British citizenship.1
James Madison had summed up the contrasting points of view in an 1804 letter to James Monroe:
The massive turmoil that the Reformation<span> caused had a lasting </span>impact<span> on </span>European politics<span>. Soon after the Catholic Church deemed Martin Luther a “Protestant,” then </span>Europe <span>became divided along confessional, as well as territorial, lines. The </span>religious<span> turmoil of the period led to warfare within most states and between many.

Answer: American revolution is in fact a building of a totally new society, on a new continent. That is the most essencial difference in comparison to French and Russian revolution. Of course everythings takes place within British ideological and political context, but colonies are in a new continent and very distant from London. French revolution is (at the very beginning) an attempt to transform already existing society, i.e. attempt to transform absolute monarchy in constitutional monarchy. Course of events leads to Terror and proclamation of republic and then to Empire. Most of these things were not intended and originally people wanted (inspired by the British constitutional model) constitutional monarchy. Russian revolution is inspired by Marxism and especially by its prophetic aspect (so-called historical law of inevitable arrival of Communism)
Explanation: American revolution wanted to create a society with kings, i.e. republican system. This is exactly what happened. French revolution intended to be a change for constitutional monarchy ...events took a bit different course. Russians acted on prophecy, they wanted a perfect Communist society without inequality but the result was totalitarian regime.
