Internal pressures that led to the decline of the Tokugawa Shogunate?

The grandson of Ieyasu, Iemitsu, passed three expulsion decrees (1633 - 39) aimed at the suppression of Christianity. They effectively closed Japan to foreign trade. Yoshimune (1716 - 45) drew up the Code of One Hundred Articles, embodying the Tokugawa legal reforms. Thereafter the shogunate lost much of its vigour, although it did not come to an end until 1867 with the resignation of Hitotsubashi Keiki, the 15th shogun.

Why did the Anzacs land at Gallipoli?

They went to help fight the war. It was out of courage, bravery and in some ways, stupidity. So many Australians died in a war that wasn't theirs to fight. There was a far reaching strategic plan to aid Russia by sending naval convoys through the Bosporus into the Black Sea from the Mediterranean. To do this the Allies would need to secure the land from Turkish artillery bombardment, and the Dardanelles was part of this area to be secured. Unfortunately the Gallipoli landings were not made with sufficient strength or vigour to accomplish this aim. Basically, it is sad to say from an Allied point of view, that the men on the ground were let down by poor generalship & lack of leadership from the powers that were both on site & in command at a distance. A far reaching aim was not impelled to achieve more than the most modest of objectives, that of getting ashore, once there the forces were allowed to be out gunned by the Turkish defenders, leading to many casualties & eventual withdraw.


How were roman sculptures realistic?

Roman sculptures of the republican period were bust which were faithful representational renditions of what the subject actually looked like and, in that sense, were realistic. The tended to emphasise the features of old age, which represented the wisdom of age of the leaders and also the republican ideal of dignitas, intergitas and gravitas. The statues of the period of rule by emperors were different. The first emperor, Augustus, encouraged full body statues which copied Greek models of the statuaries of Hellenistic rulers. These statues were more idealised to help to create a personality cult centred on himself. He liked to be represented as a divine and as a military leader. He also started a trend for youthful depictions. The vigour of youth now became a symbol of leadership instead of the wisdom of old age.
