From Italy, France and Germany the fathers came late to Basel. Cesarini devoted all his energies to the war against the Hussites, until the disaster of Taus forced him to evacuate Bohemia in haste. Pope Eugenius IV, Martin V's successor, lost hope that the Council could be useful owing to the progress of heresy, the reported troubles in Germany, the war which had lately broken out between the dukes of Austria and Burgundy, and finally, the small number of fathers who had responded to the summons of Martin V. This opinion, added to his desire ...

The last Congress of the Comintern was held in 1935 and officially endorsed the Popular Front against fascism. This policy argued that Communist Parties should seek to form a Popular Front with all parties that opposed fascism and not limit themselves to forming a United Front with those parties based in the working class.

See article Separation of Norway from Sweden in 1905 On May 23 the Norwegian Storting passed the government's proposal for the establishment of separate Norwegian consuls, and as King Oscar, who again had resumed the reins of government, made use of his constitutional right to veto the bill, the Norwegian ministry tendered their resignation. The king, however, declared he could not now accept their resignation, whereupon the ministry at a sitting of the Norwegian Storting on June 7 placed their resignation in its hands. The Sto ...

After Tito's death in 1980 the party adopted a collective leadership model with the occupant of the top position rotating annually. The party's influence declined and the party moved to a federal structure giving more power to party branches in Yugoslavia's constituent republics. Party membership continued to grow reaching two million in the mid-1980s but membership was considered less prestigious than in the past. Slobodan Milošević became president of the Communist League of Serbia in 1987 and combined Serbian nationalism with opp ...

Under the Australian Constitution, the House of Representatives and the Senate have equal legislative powers, except that appropriations (money) bills must originate in the House. This means that a government can be seriously frustrated by a Senate majority determined to reject its legislation. In these circumstances, section 57 of the Constitution allows the government to call a double dissolution election: an election in which the whole House of Representativ ...

By 1640 the relationship between King Charles and the Parliament had deteriorated to the point of plots and attempted arrests. Armed conflict broke out between the Royalists and the Parliamentarians in 1642. As Charles led the Royalist army, the Queen took a small number of her retinue, including Hudson, to the Netherlands to raise money and support for him. By selling articles from her palace she raised enough to buy some supplies for the Royalist army but was unsuccessful in obtaining official support from the Protestant Dutch government. She returned t ...

From the very start of independence relations with Germany were very hard. Germany did not recognise the new government, despite the hopes of LAF that it would be possible to reestabilish an independent Lithuania by using the confrontation between Germans and Soviets. German armies invaded Lithuania — at the time Lithuania had no army, therefore was not able to do anything about it. The Germans did not depose the government, probably avoiding full confrontation against LAF and subsequnt guerrilla war, at least until the German army could e ...

By the early 1960s, Macmillan went on his famous African tour leading to his 'Winds of Change' speech in the parliament of the Cape. The winds of change were, in fact, well underway. By 1960, independence had already been granted to the French African colonies. Belgium more hastily vacated their colony, and thousands of European refugees fled the Belgian Congo (later Zaire, later the Democratic R ...

Personality conflicts started to tear the band apart, however. Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts both began solo careers, while Allman married Cher, separated quickly, reconciled, and eventually separated again, all in a storm of publicity; drug abuse took its toll on the entire band. Musically, Betts and Leavell were pulling in opposite directions, with Allman trying to mediate. The tension resulted in the uneven Win, Lose or Draw (1975), with some members not participating or doing so only from afar. The few stand-out tracks included a ...

In early 1905, Christian Michelsen formed a liberal government whose only stated objective was to establish a separate Norwegian corps of consuls. The law was passed by the Norwegian parliament. As expected and probably planned, King Oscar II refused to accept the laws, and the Michelsen government resigned. When the Norwegian parliament refused to support any government the king proposed, a constitutional crisis broke out on June 7. The Norwegian position was that the impasse had resulted in a de facto dissolution of the union. Norwa ...

The first and most important of a series of changes which ultimately led to the dissolution of the ministry was the death of George II on 25 October 1760, and the accession of his grandson, George III. The new king had, as was natural, new counsellors of his own, the chief of whom, Lord Bute, was at once admitted to the cabinet as a secretary of state. Between Bute and Pitt there speedily arose an occasion of serious difference. The existence of the so-called family compact by which the Bourbons of France and Spain bound themselves in ...

The first and most important of a series of changes which ultimately led to the dissolution of the ministry was the death of George II on 25 October 1760, and the accession of his grandson, George III.

On February 7, 1990 the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union agreed to give up its monopoly of power. The USSR's constituent republics began to assert their national sovereignty over Moscow, and started a "war of laws" with the central Moscow government, in which the governments of the constituent republics repudiated all-union legislation where it conflicted with local laws, asserting control over their local economies and refusing to pay tax revenue to the central Moscow government. This strife caused economic dislocati ...

Among Kiep's close friends were Erich Vermehren and his beautiful wife, the former Countess Elisabeth von Plettenberg. Vermehren, by profession a lawyer from Hamburg, was prevented from taking up a coveted Rhodes scholarship in Oxford in 1938 because he repeatedly refused to joined the Hitler Youth.
