    In c. 1775, at the beginning of the Revolutionary War, the majority of Americans were neutral or ‘fence-sitters’. Both the British and the American patriots launched a propaganda campaign to garner support.

    Missouri Compromise 1820

    $3.95
    In 1820, slave-holding states still held a majority in the US Senate. The majority in part derived from the ‘three-fifths’ rule, whereby slaves counted for 60 per cent of free persons in determining representation per state. This precarious advantage was now threatened by the ‘free’ District of Maine’s application for... More

    Vladimir Putin described the break-up of the Soviet Union as ‘the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century’.

    Hugh O’ Neill was no unruly Irish chieftain. Raised within the Pale, and awarded the Earlship of Tyrone by Queen Elizabeth, he carefully planned his insurrection. From the early 1590s he stockpiled arms and recruited mercenaries. He elicited promise of support from King Philip of Spain. In 1595, he struck,... More

    Petrograd 1917

    Events in Petrograd in 1917 had the benefit of a full-dress rehearsal. In 1905, a series of famines and military humiliation in the Russo-Japanese War (1904–05) led to revolution, including the first emergence of the Petrograd Soviet. By the fourth year of World War I, the same catalysts were in... More

    The ‘Jacquerie’ or Peasants’ uprising began in February 1905, in Dmitriev in the Kursk governate. Its initial manifestation was remarkably disciplined and free from violence. Led by the ‘middle peasantry’, or smallholders, and organized through the mir, the local peasant assemblies, the rebels targeted estates, carting off stores of fodder... More

    Race Riots and Non-Violent Demonstrations 1865–1968

    $3.95
    While underlying causes were competition for jobs and housing, inflamed by prejudice, the trigger for race riots was often a crime ascribed (usually falsely) to the targeted community. The victims were not always African Americans. In New Orleans (1866), eleven Italian migrants were lynched and San Francisco’s Chinese neighbourhoods were... More

    The Republic of Texas came into being through the revolution of 1835–36 against the Mexican government. Mexico refused to recognize its independence, nor its subsequent annexation and granting of statehood by the United States in 1845. In 1848 Mexico was defeated in the ensuing US-Mexican War, and Texas, confirmed as... More

    Restoration England seethed with intrigue, real and imagined. Titus Oates, a serial perjurer, caused 15 executions through his fabricated accusations of a ‘Popish Plot’. Most genuine plots were anti-Catholic; Yorkshire hosted two republican cabals in 1663, while the Rye House plot (1683) aimed to assassinate the king and his Catholic... More

    The 1905 Russian Revolution swept across the Russian Empire and began when Russian Cossacks attacked a peaceful demonstration of workers. This acted as a catalyst for empire-wide uprisings.
