Last year I had a teacher that was obsessed with British Literature. She got on the topic of Elizabeth I, explaining how she ruled and everything she did during her reign. I admired her cleverness and intelligence, so I decided to do this PowerPoint over her.
Elizabeth knew what she was doing when she took the throne. She even used her death to her advantage. How? On her deathbed, she said that she wanted her cousin, who was the King of Ireland, to also become the King of England. Thus, creating the United Kingdom.
