Relating Revolution
Relating Revolution which began in 1640 was an event of European significance. the execution of Charles I in 1649 in the name of the people of England led all European countries to sever diplomatic relations with the English republic: the Tsar of Russia seized the occasion to deprive English merchants of their exclusive trading privileges. Foreign intervention on behalf of the old regime was prevented only by the absorption of all the great powers in the Thirty Years War, and by the war between france and Spain which continued until December 1659. The English Revolution, unlike the French Revolution of 1789 and the Russian Revolution of 1917, was able to work out its problems free from direct foreign interference. This helps to account for the 'lack of bitterness' in the Revolution, of which English historians are apt to boast and which too many attribute to the virtuous English character. 1 But the possibility of foreign intervention
Brotherhood Of Men
Brotherhood of Man are a British pop group who achieved success in the 1970s. They won the 1976 Eurovision Song Contest with "Save Your Kisses for Me".Created in 1969 by songwriter and record producer Tony Hiller, Brotherhood of Man was initially an umbrella title for a frequently-changing line-up of session singers. Early on, they scored a worldwide hit with the song "United We Stand". By 1973 the concept had run its course and Hiller formed a definite four-member line-up consisting of Martin Lee, Lee Sheriden, Nicky Stevens and Sandra Stevens. This version of the group went on to score many hits around the world in the mid to late 1970s including "Kiss Me Kiss Your Baby", "Angelo", "Oh Boy (The Mood I'm In)" and "Figaro". They achieved perhaps their biggest success in their native UK with three number one singles and four top twenty albums. The group under this line-up still continues, performing shows throughout Europe. Altogether, they have released 16 studio albums, with worldwide sales topping 15 million records
