Abstract This paper addresses the issues which lead up the England's Civil War in the 17th century. It discusses the results of the civil war, and how it lead to the 'Glorious Revolution.' It then looks at the affects of this revolution on England as well as other parts of western civilization--Scotland, Ireland and France. It spans most of the 17th century.
From the Paper "In the early 17th century, a series of conflicts regarding religion and politics set off a civil war, or a sequence of civil wars, in England that also had a great affect on Scotland, Ireland and France. These conflicts lead to the English questioning both the power and the religion of their monarchs, which in turn lead to the Glorious Revolution, strengthening England's position as a world power. In 1625, after the death of his father, Charles I became the king of England. One of the first hints of religious difficulties ahead is portrayed through his marriage to the Catholic Henrietta Maria, in a period of time where the religion of choice was Puritanism. This, as well as his involvement in European wars, caused the English Parliament to be suspicious of Charles I."
Abstract This paper describes the relationship of the American colonies to England prior to the Revolutionary War. The author attempts to do this from both the American perspective and that of the British, showing that the relationship between the colonies and England benefitted both sides. The author believes, however, that the main reason for the breakup that occurred between the American colonies and the Empire was the increase of taxes and contributions to the royal Reserve. Additionally, the author shows how the political thought of the time and various acts of legislation also contributed to the break-up.
From the Paper "The Seven Years War represented a trying moment in the history of the relations between the American colonies and the British. Every colony, throughout the war was forced to offer assistance to the fighting troops; consequently, the US did back Britain in its quest for victory against the French but at the same time gave rise to a serious conflict between them. The British genera opinion was that the colonies should, in their turn contribute to the increase in revenue seeing that they benefited from the protection of the empire."
Abstract This paper details the highlights of Anne Boleyn's life and the impact that she had on England.
From the Paper "Throughout the general history of England, the Legend of Anne Boleyn has endured years of introspection and critique, as well as praise and recognition. Anne Boleyn's notorious marriage to King Henry VIII created the controversy that surrounded her last years of life in England. During her famed marriage to King Henry VII, Anne lived under the extreme pressures stemming from the urgency to produce a male heir to the throne. This requisite placed tension on her relationship with Henry, causing the eventual dissolution of their marriage. At the time of Anne's three-year reign, she acquired all the advantages of a Queen Consort, including the ability to hold influence upon the King's decisions and judgements within his kingdom. Although her time on the throne was short lived, Anne Boleyn prospered in many of her personal endeavors as the Queen of England."
Abstract The topic of censorship is usually applied to less-developed countries, but it is crucial to remember that censorship is found in varying aspects in all countries. This paper addresses England as a country that promotes censorship as both a mechanism for civil defense and a means of ensuring the welfare of their citizens.
Abstract This paper discusses central bank independence and the effects on the U.K. economy of Labour's decision to grant the Bank of England independence in 1997. It analyses inflationary and interest rate data from the years preceding and following Labour's election and cites evidence suggesting that it is inappropriate to ascribe all of the credit for recent low interest rates and inflation solely to the government's decision to make the bank independent.

From the Paper "The Bank of England was established in 1694 as the UK was preparing to embark on a huge expansion in trade activity. A substantial financial source was necessary to provide the country, most especially London, with the liquidity necessary to drive the economy to this new frontier. The argument gained certain impetus after the Glorious Revolution when both William of Orange and Queen Mary simultaneously ascended the throne in 1688. Noted political economist of the time William Petty had observed the success of the Dutch in establishing a central bank in the form of the Amsterdam Wisselbank that had control over coinage, credit facilities and exchange."
Abstract This paper examines the so-called evolution of the concept of "juvenile delinquency" in late Victorian England. The object of the paper is to show that the notion of youth crime was considerably altered during this period--and has served as an exemplar of present-day systems.
From the Paper "The notion that juvenile delinquency in particular and crimes committed by child and adolescents in general were separate from crimes committed by adults is considered a recent construct. In fact it was not until the first half of the the 19th century in England that such a notion first came about. A corollary to this was the idea that these types of crimes and criminals should be treated differently from hardened adult criminals..."

Abstract In this article, the writer discusses that the American Revolution was largely the result of England's financial policies. In order to understand how England's imposition of taxes helped lead to the American Revolution, the writer points out that one must first understand England's financial system at the time of the Revolution. The writer notes that during that time period, England was the world's largest imperial power, and its financial strength depended on two things: the wealth of its colonies, and its ability to control those colonies. Having gained an understanding of British colonialism, the writer maintains that one must then understand the specific acts that the British passed to target the American colonies. The writer concludes that it is clear that England's financial system, rather than any form of political tyranny, was responsible for the American Revolution.
From the Paper "At the time of the American Revolution, England had vast global holdings. Obviously, much of North America had been colonized by the British, but the American colonies represented only part of England's holdings. In fact, the British controlled the majority of islands off North America and in the Caribbean. Furthermore, the British controlled large parts of India, parts of Eastern Asia, and much of Africa. The result is that Britain had an empire that rivaled the Roman Empire or the lands controlled by Alexander the Great. The British Empire was, in reality, far vaster than either of these preceding empires because it included such a tremendous portion of the New World, which had not yet been discovered during those two previous large empires."
"This vast colonial system was incredibly lucrative for England, but it also created a significant financial burden. First, in order to secure the colonies, the English often had to expend tremendous financial and human resources. For example, although initial colonization of the United States was relatively inexpensive, Great Britain had to wage military actions against the French and several Native American tribes to retain control over the claimed area."

Abstract This paper takes a look at the Julia Barnes' somewhat cynical view of reality as a human construction in her novel "England, England". The paper focuses on the characters' attempts to cope with reality and their desire to look past the constructions in their own and others' lives.
From the Paper "In "England, England", Julian Barnes theorizes that what people perceive to be reality is merely a construction. He argues that people create this construction for themselves because of a desire to simplify their lives. What people consider to be true memories and actual history are distortions, no more real than stories, except in that people believe these memories and histories to be real."
Abstract This paper examines how both France and England vied to become the most powerful monarchies in Europe and how throughout the 13th and 14th century, wars for land and supremacy were fought until each became a power in its own right. It focuses on the questions of how England achieved centralized power much faster than France, due to the political and territorial layout of the country and how France become more powerful than England in the 13th century due to the leadership of Louis the IX and other events culminating in the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215 which forced the English king to relinquish much of his power.
From the Paper "The King of France was only able to achieve centralized leadership through territorial sovereignty through inheritance, marriage and finally war. This was not an easy task because there was a great deal of loyalty within the cities and they supported their local jurisdictions. The problem was finally resolved when the Crown allowed regional powers to maintain some of their local customs and laws but was governed by a selected official of the Crown.
But France had to struggle with the clergy and issues that would affect them as well as the constituency. They never quite achieved the level of support for royal initiatives from the church that was needed to perpetuate the Crown as a central authority."
Abstract Examines the nature of the Bank of England, England's monetary policy and the recent history of the pound. Included in this study is a look at how the value of the Pound is determined and England's position on European Monetary Union.
From the Paper "Many feel that much of Britain's autonomy centers on Sterling and the Bank of England. The United Kingdom was the most prominent country to have abstained from Europe's effort to create a common currency, which caused such prominent and popular political figures as Lady Margaret Thatcher to be ousted. Once a mere cog in the economic hegemony of the United States following the Bretton Woods conference, England is a currency trading powerhouse, with nearly 700 billion pounds sterling trading hands every day in London's interbank market. In that many believe or once believed the currency issue to have the ability to economically castrate Britain, the nature of the Bank of England, monetary policy, and the recent history of the Pound deserve our redress."
Abstract This paper looks at Protestantism in England in 1558, how it was in poor condition and the effectiveness of the counter-reformation movement. It examines the acceptability of Protestantism in England by exploring to what extent the population 'conformed for the sake of conforming' . It also discusses Edwardian Protestantism and the policies implemented by Marian England and from a theoretical perspective it addresses the accession of Elizabeth and the nature of religion in England at the time.
From the Paper "In 1562, four years after her accession, Elizabeth fell gravely ill. Had she died, as was expected, "she would have left a country still predominantly catholic". Catholicism remained strong well in to the 1560's and, for long as this endured, England was not ultimately Protestant. Elizabeth's religious settlement and immediate policies concerning the church imply a clear theological division within England, if not stressing the un-influential nature of Protestantism in 1558. The introduction in 1559 of bills to re-establish full protestant worship based on the Edwardian Prayer Book is evidence in itself that, in 1558, "full protestant worship" didn?t exist."
Abstract This paper examines the content of "The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" as a primary historical source for the creation of English and England. It shows how the work of historian Venerable Bede documents England prior to the "Chronicle" and details religious and cultural life in that era, while the Chronicle focuses on the broader historical scale of war. It also focuses on the linguistic significance of the "Chronicle" the first important piece of English prose.
From the paper:
"One of the most important aspects of 'The Angle-Saxon Chronicle' is that it is the first continuous national history of any western people in their own language. Written down by a succession of generations of scribes, 'The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle' covers such fundamentally important events in the history of early England as the migration of the Saxon war-lords, the results of the Romanization of Britain, the onslaught of the Vikings, the Norman Conquest and on the reign of Stephen."
