The war was a significant event in English history, and changing the outcome could have far-reaching consequences that are difficult to predict. It's possible that the changes I made would lead to a better outcome for some, but it could also lead to a worse outcome for others.

Others might argue that going back in time to change the outcome of the War of the Roses could lead to a more peaceful and prosperous England. For example, if the House of York had won the war, it's possible that the country would have avoided the bloody conflicts and political instability that characterized the Tudor dynasty. However, it's also possible that a Yorkist victory could have led to a different set of problems, such as increased tensions with Scotland or

Another conflict was when the House of York and Lancaster both claimed the authority as descendants of Edward III. At the time, the current king was mentally ill, which did not help the situation. If these events hadn’t taken place, the Wars of the Roses wouldn’t have happened and who knows what kind of tyrants could have ruled? No matter what the cause, the Lancastrians and Yorkists fought long and hard for the throne until the House of Tudor was established.
Readers of Macbeth can look at him from different perspectives; a troubled man who fell to the dark side, or an arrogant, power hungry man who got what he deserved at the end. Macbeth by William Shakespeare tells the story about a man who was so desperate for power that he was willing to do anything to keep it. In the beginning of the play, Macbeth is considered a war hero and along with his then friend, Banquo, is called upon by three witches who tell him he will be the next king. His wife, Lady Macbeth, is a power hungry figure who convinces him to kill King Duncan, to fulfill his prophecies.

These wars showed just how much Britain controlled the colonies, politically and economically. Britain raised taxes for the colonists, made more rules, and put more soldiers there. All these efforts by Britain just caused the colonists to rebel. This really raised the question of how much control Britain had over the colonists. The colonists ended up developing their own government, which only happened because the British rule refused to allow them to have any control, so their only choice was to rebel.
The last outcome of the war was that it ignited other revolutions to take place. One example of this is the French Revolution. In France during the late 1700s, the citizens were ruled under an absolute monarchy. Since the King and Queen were ineffective, the citizens decided to take it into their own hands. They planned one of the most brutal and gruesome revolutions during the time, which ended in the beheading of the King, Queen, and their children.
