What were the precise problems facing England before the Civil War? Identify these problems, including a short description of their significance, development and scope. How did the "fix" progress? Why did the Civil War and its aftermath of Cromwell and Restoration Monarchy not solve (which) problems, and why not?         The Revolution of 1688-9 solved the most pressing problems facing 17th Century England. Identify these problems, including a short description of their significance, development and scope. How did the "Fix" progress? In what direction(s) of development did the events of 1688-9 propel England? Was this Really "Revolutionary" with a capital "R"? Was anything significant left undone by 1689?         Would you argue that the revolutionary events of 17th Century England were related to the Enlightenment? Or not? In either case, describe Enlightenment principles in some detail. Then show how these principles did, and/or did not, form an integral part of the cataclysmic change that England underwent in the 17th Century.         The Industrial Revolution changed England, but for better or for worse? Disraeli once said, "By the aid of a few scientific discoveries, they have succeeded in establishing a society which mistakes comfort for civilization." Using both a micro view (the P.S.-Chapters on the Ind. Rev.) and a macro view (larger picture chronologically & geographically), address this question. Argue both sides, but as the evidence leads you, arrive at a conclusion.          Describe the origins of the Industrial Revolution. How did it progress in England -- that is, how did various people, inventions, needs and forces like science, economy and society contribute to its development?         Joseph Chamberlain and Rudyard Kipling agreed in their writings about English Imperialism -- or did they? Show the similarities between their views, and the differences as you see them. Then branch out into other views and theories about Imperialism. Of them all, which seems to you the most convincing to the English people then? Why?         The lecturer has argued that the 20th Century faced staggering wars, problems and issues which continue to haunt the 21st. Much of this legacy can be explained through the history of England, since England was front and center in nearly every major event, issue and problem -- from environmental pollution (Industrial Revolution) to China (Opium Wars) to the Twin Towers attack (England's Failed colonial policy in the Middle East).         Do you agree? Explain in detail the extent that this view is exaggerated (or just wrong), and the extent that it can be useful as historical explanation.
