John Major His upbringing and the beginning of his political career1943-1979

Abstract

The history of Britain received great attention from Western researchers in Europe and America, so they wrote hundreds of thousands of books on this important region of the world, and these studies extended from the beginning of the establishment of the political system there, through the Middle Ages, then modern and then contemporary. These studies and literature became among the most important sources that researchers rely on for their studies.

Arab researchers and historians also wrote studies of no less value than those studies on the history of Europe in general and the history of Britain in particular. These studies dealt with the history of the region in all aspects, whether political, intellectual or economic. Researchers have made great efforts represented in translation in order to uncover this eventful history throughout the ages.

Perhaps among the most important Arab studies on the history of Britain are contemporary studies that dealt with important political aspects in it, and those studies focused on the most important political and economic institutions in it, as well as studying important personalities, especially those who played an important role in the political life of Britain.

The period during which Major was appointed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is one of the most important periods that led to the refinement of his political personality and brought him close to international events, which qualified him to take important positions and was an important reason for resolving many outstanding issues, on top of which is the Irish problem.

And he has adopted from the beginning of his premiership that education was one of his top priorities. A number of sympathetic commentators have suggested that Major's gifted concept of education in Britain derives in large part from his "own experience of leaving school without qualifications and finding himself on the wrong side of education paths."

The term of Major is considered one of the most important years, especially with regard to the issue of local government and its laws, which he reformulated with the help of his advisors and which later caused him a political crisis by his opponents.
