What did Thomas Scott do to make Louis Riel kill him?
Louis Riel did not kill Thomas Scott. --------------------------------- Riel's government had Scott tried for defying the governments authority. Five of the seven members of the court, lead by Lieutenant A. Lapine, voted for the execution. Another government, from far away, representing other people, acted on their authority and traveled to the West and killed Riel. It was that government that gave us the narrative that Riel killed Scott. The reasons for Scotts execution, as for Riel's are many. Scott was violent and challenging the validity of the government selected by local people. He was also threatening life's and had already escaped and make it clear that should he be released or escape again he would kill many people, particularly Catholic people no doubt. Fear was part of the reason, and it was important that people respect the legitimate government of the people.
How valid is the view that Louis XVI's downfall was precipitated more by those who thought to overthrow him or by his own mistakes?
Louis XVI DID make serious mistakes, such as refusing to give the third Estate any say in how the moneys he asked from them would be spent. It was a reasonable request, given the many decades of financial mismanagement by the King's ministers. The second mistake was making a run for the armies who would protect him - but who were at the time France's enemies, invading France and fighting its armies - when he was placed under protective custody; and then organizing his flight so badly that he was quickly captured and brought back. The flight branded him a 'traitor to France' which led to his imprisonment and later, to his conviction to the guillotine. This happened at the start of the period in the French Revolution that came to be named The Terror. During that period thousands of noblemen and their families were executed, and chances are that the Terror's leader Robespierre might have targeted Louis for execution regardless of what had happened before. On the other hand, Louis XVI was not responsible for the armies of Austria invading France and its General's badly-chosen wording in his 'demand' that Louis be reinstated in all his powers, and branding the French as no more than a bunch of rebels. Nor can he on the basis of his treatment by the revolutionaries so far, really be blamed for fearing for his family's life and safety and wanting to run. But had Louis immediately granted a say of the Third Estate in the way the money he asked them for would be spent, he might well have prevented his downfall and have ruled on as a constitutional monarch. In that way he would also have prevented the invasion of France by Austria. So on consideration, Louis' own clumsy handling of the situation probably was a bigger factor than any organized movement to bring him down instead of the other way around.
How did presidents Reagan and Bush help bring about the end of the cold war?
Uhh...actually, Reagan prolonged the life of it. Carter realized the Soviet Union was on the verge of collapse so he was willing to wait them out. Reagan decided to outspend them and in doing so revitalized the USSR. They eventually collapsed, but if Carter had won reelection it would happened by 1983.
