The most important component of King Louis administration that allowed him to rule with ease, was creating intendents who replaced nobility and were effortless to control. As well as, monitoring and distracting nobility from participating in government affairs through the use of the Palace of Versailles. By restricting the power of officials who held input in France’s government, King Louis XIV had complete sovereignty over the nation. In addition, the creation of intendants and Palace of Versailles required money, which fueled King Louis policy of mercantilism, this being the second most significant part of King Louis XIV’s reign. King Louis used mercantilism to assume a surplus amount of money, which allowed him to continue funding programs and projects to centralize authority.
Although Henry tried to imitate Edward’s methods, a major problem was smuggling and the income from trade relied on upon the relationships between European powers, which Henry could not control. Also, the income from customs increased modestly and quite slowly; it increased from £34,000 a year to about £40,000 so it did not dramatically or significantly affect the yearly income. Therefore, it was not a successful method in strengthening royal services because he was not able to increase or secure any finances from custom duties and it did not give him any power or more strength, which weakened the economy at the
Document two is a picture that comes from the British Museum, which should work to educate people in an unbiased manner. The document is a picture of artifacts and, more importantly, coins from China that were found in the Swahili coast. Because it is only a picture, it shows nothing but pure factual information. The use of coins suggests that trade was not quite important or common enough to use paper money instead. China started using paper money instead of coins once trade was so important and common that coins often were too heavy for traders to carry in large quantities.
Christopher Columbus was a disastrous leader who was motivated by his own personal greed of finding a westward passage into China and India. Throughout Christopher Columbus’s explorations; he ended up getting many Spaniards killed in an attempt to please his own motives. During Columbus’s first voyage, he ended up getting 39 of his sailors killed by his naïve thinking and lack of defensive planning amongst a foreign land and population. After his shocking discovery of his crew being killed on his newly established colony, Hispaniola, Christopher Columbus moved his people east in a more inhabitable part of the Caribbean.
Wallace-Hadrill makes the argument that the seat of Augustus’s empire, the Imperial home on the Palatine Hill, was where the sovereignty of the emperor would become the most effective. When Augustus garnered control of the Roman Empire, the aristocracy of Rome—both the friends and enemies of the emperor-- flocked to his side in hopes of joining his Imperial court. Each courtier had a varying degree of intimacy with Augustus; the closer one was to him, the more of his borrowed authority they could access. Successful courtiers were masters of manipulation who could maneuver through positions and relationships to ingratiate themselves to the court and to the emperor. In the Imperial court, being close to the emperor and being powerful were synonymous.
The structure of the Byzantine Empire was only one factor of why the empire remained stable the key component was who was ruling the empire. One of the most important and memorable early Byzantine rulers was Justinian. Justinian trained for a legal career, had a acute eye for talent, and was profoundly interested in art, especially architecture. He became an aid to his uncle Justin, who after the death of Anastasiu I was appointed ruler of the Byzantine empire. It was through this apprenticeship that Justinian was able to familiarize himself with the current government system and knew how it would need to change when he was proclaimed emperor after his uncles death if the empire were to endure.
What type of document is this? What was the meaning of the document
The three-dollar piece was a gold coin produced by the United States Bureau of the Mint from 1854 to 1889. Authorized by the Act of February 21, 1853, the coin was designed by Mint Chief Engraver James B. Longacre. The obverse bears a representation of Lady Liberty wearing a headdress of a Native American princess and the reverse a wreath of corn, wheat, cotton, and tobacco. In 1851, Congress had authorized a silver three-cent piece so that postage stamps of that value could be purchased without using the widely disliked copper cents.

From mainly trading, the Byzantines could reap the ample riches. Constantinople was an extremely wealthy city. This was because of its strategic location on an important trade route. This route connected the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, which
The empire relied heavily on its agriculture and its ability to tax, once the plague stuck the countryside it affected the empire in multiple ways, Trade throughout the empire was interrupted due to the massive die-off and the fear of catching the plague which kept people from conducting business, this lead to massive loss of tax revenue. The deaths of landlord who caught the plague caused a huge financial burden to the landlord’s neighbors as they were responsible to pay the deceased taxes. The loss of manpower caused by the plague caused severe work shortages which led to famines and inflation. In 544 and 545 Justinian has to issue edicts to help alleviate the financial burdens of surviving landlords, to curb inflation, and he froze both wages and prices to their pre-plague
What would cause a 20-year-old, immediately after punishing the people who murdered his father, to invade Persia and eventually conquer it all? Arrian tends to believe and convey that it was a conquest of retaliation. Alexander wanted to invade and conquer Persia as they tried to conquer Greece 150 years earlier. One reason for this is because he wanted to continue with his father’s plan, but also so he could prove that Macedonians are just as much Greek as Athenians or Spartans. However, an underlying reason that Alexander would do this was because he wanted to become the King of all Asia to prove that he could accomplish the feat.
