Comments (write a paragraph): Phillip II was born from a Powerful leader, Charles V, he was meant to be a great power. He controlled a massive empire, and was influenced by his strong religious beliefs. His was completely driven by making decisions for his government, and his Empire. He even married four different women just to have alliances with four different countries/empire.

1. Would the course of history be different is this person had not existed? If Phillip II did not exist I believe that history would of be different, because his power was passed down to him by his father, maybe family businesses and sharing inheritance would not of been so common today. Religion was a huge part of that time, and he was fully devoted to the Catholic religion. But there is always a slight chance that there could of been someone else that could of taken the Great persons place.

2. If _ had not existed, could someone else have had the same accomplishments? I think that what one person accomplished nobody can accomplish the same things, during the same time, so i think that nobody else could of made the same accomplishments.

3. Collingwood’s Empathy. What else do you need to know, to get a better understanding of this person’s impact on history? Write three (3) questions you would ask the person in an interview.

4. Was this person a passive or an active agent in history? This person was an active agent in History.

5. To what extent was this person’s actions affected by other historical currents? Phillip II had to follow in his fathers footsteps therefore he had a certain guideline that he had to follow, therefor his actions had to be planned out based on historical currents.

Comments (write a paragraph): Thomas Hobbs was a great person who uses his talent with literature to channel his opinion on politics. He wasn't a leader of a country but he was well educated and carried himself in a great manor in order to get his literature out well known. His work is still read and referred to today. this person could not of been replaced in my opinion.
