The characterization of the American Revolution as the "biggest temper tantrum" oversimplifies a complex historical event. While it involved significant grievances against British rule, such as taxation without representation, it also represented a legitimate struggle for self-governance and individual rights. Many colonists viewed it as a necessary fight for freedom and autonomy, rather than merely a reactionary outburst. Ultimately, the Revolution laid the foundation for the United States as an independent nation.

Why did King George refuse to read the Olive Branch Petition?

King George III refused to read the Olive Branch Petition because he believed the colonies were in open rebellion against British rule, making any attempts at reconciliation futile. Additionally, the king viewed the petition as a sign of weakness and a challenge to his authority. His advisors likely reinforced his decision, emphasizing the need to assert British dominance over the colonies rather than engage in negotiations.


Is Roy Keane the best player to play for Ireland?

By any measure you like, no - Roy Keane is not the best player to play for Ireland. The most capped is Steve Staunton with 102 caps between 1988 and 2002. Keane is only the 18th most capped player with 67 games between 1991 and 2005. In terms of goalscorers, Roy scored 9 goals in his International career. His namesake, Robbie Keane tops the record books with 41 goals in 96 games. After throwing a tantrum during the 2002 FIFA World Cup and leaving the Irish team to travel home, unleashing a violent stream of profanity at the team and the manager, Keane was probably the most hated man in all of Ireland.
