factors in change in power from 1110 to present day in Britain
religion
Magna Carta 1215 (1.2)
John was in a dispute with Pope Innocent III over the appointment of Stephen Langton as Archbishop of Canterbury - John wanted to choose his own churchmen
The Pope excommunicated John and Britain in 1212, angering the people - the Pope even made killing the king not a sin
In 1213, they came to an agreement and Britain was back in the Church
However this tumultuous time led to unrest in strongly Christian England. john I smells

die
war
Peasants' Revolt, 1381 (1.4)
Britain was at war with France, with raids occurring on the English Coast. Poll Tax was needed to fund invasions of France.
The English Revolution, 1640s (2.3)
The Civil War began in 1642, with the New Model Army (aka Parliament) eventually winning the war with their unheard of techniques.
Officers were banned from being MPs (apart from Cromwell)
Strong religious views meant each regiment had a minister, and many of the dissenters that made up the Army were lay preachers
Officers were promoted on strictly merit, not class
Soldiers were well paid, even in the Cavalry
Magna Carta 1215 (1.2)
John was defeated by France at the Battle of the Bouvines - he couldn't retake Normandy
The American Revolution, 1776 (2.4)
Seven Years' War - colonies only had part milita, so Britain sent some
British Government thought they should pay more money for this, the colonists disagreed
Women's Suffrage and Rights, 1903-1918 (4.2)
When WW1 broke out in 1914, many women dropped the movement to focus on winning the war. However, the war provided women
the opportunity to advance in the absence of men to do skilled and semi-skilled jobs in factories that were so needed, and other essential jobs. Although they still got less than half of what men were paid, wages for women were at their highest.
Sentiments improved too - Asquith was replaced by Lloyd George who eventually, in 1918 gave women over 30 the vote, and in 1928 women's suffrage was the same as men's. Some say it is their contribution to the war that ultimately led to this decision
Worker's Rights, 20th Century (4.3)
Before WW1, the 'Triple Alliance' of railway workers, coal miners and transport workers were very militant in wanting improved working conditions and pay. Then the war began, and it was considered treason to protest while men were dying on the front. However things did improve during the war - the government consulted unions over policy
Pilgrimage of Grace, 1536 (2.2)
Armies were assembled to march to London and reinstate monks and nuns to their positions in the closed monasteries. The Revolt started as peaceful, but eventually got violent.
The King's Army of the North only had 5,000 men, while 50,000 were in open revolt, so the King had to pardon the rebels and avoid a fight. He went back on these promises, however, and the revolt was quashed without a battle
