    During the Revolutionary war George Washington gathered up all the troops that he could. Many people didn't have time to be part of the Continental Army because they had families and farms to tend to, most of the men willing to enlist for long periods of time were young and single and had nothing tying them down. The Continental Army was greatly out numbered and out matched in military experience, yet somehow they managed to defeat the strongest army in the world. The Continental Army, under pai...

  • Most Important Man In American History
    443 words
    Gregg GiassonU.S. History Period B!! YOU ARE THERE!! The most important event in U.S. History in my opinion would be Washington's escape from the British Army at New York. This event changed the course of U.S. History because it was the closest the movement for freedom came to being crushed. It all started when Washington and his army were waiting for the British on Long Island. He expected the British to launch a full frontal assault. He did not look at his flanks, and was heavily dug in. This ...

  • Successful Red Army Offensive In 1944
    2,634 words
    D-Day has always been a celebrated day throughout the entire world in which the Western Allied forces were finally able to break Hitler grasp on Europe. The landings that occurred on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944 was a great military victory at the cost of many lives. But the motives behind D-Day are unclear. Why did Britain want to go through Italy and did everything in its power to stop the invasion of Normandy? Why did the US promise Stalin that a second front would be open? The mot...
  • Battle Washington And The Rebel Army

This is a book that covers the beginning of the revolutionary war in America from the time that George Washington is selected as commander-in-chief of the army, until his army enters winter quarters at Valley Forge. It encompasses the weather conditions that Washington and his army had to endure as well as the scrutiny tha...
  • Brigadier General In The British Army
    759 words
    My name is Benedict Arnold. I was born on January 14, 1741 in Norwich Connecticut. I led a very daring life, for I was a spy. My entire familial lineage was based in New England and was long established and well respected. As a child I worked with an apothecary, but that wasn't what I planned to do for my life. During the French and Indian War, I enlisted in the militia and fought from 1754 to 1763. My father died toward the end of the war, and so I had no way of making money afterward, so I use...
  • Hollywood Version Of British Commanders

  • Ira And The British Army

  • Prince Jayawikarta And The British

However, in 1527, Prince Fatahillah defeated King of Pajajaran, conquered the Portuguese fortress, and renamed the town Jayakarta (meaning great victory). In 1619, the Dutch East India Company arrived in Java, burnt down the town and constructed a walled city named Batavia near...
  • British And Indians
    2,722 words
    As with any conflict or controversy there are always two sides to the debate, and the events in India during 1857 are certainly no exception. Given the situation in India during the nineteenth century it is hardly surprising that such a polarisation of opinion exists regarding the context of the rebellious events during that year. The British being in control of the subcontinent and their sense of superiority over their Indian subjects, would naturally seek to downplay any acts of rebellion. Whi...

  • German Armies In France
    2,302 words
    Introduction The Allied invasion of France on June 6, 1944 is variously known as D-Day, the Longest Day, Cross-Channel Attack, and probably some others as well. It was the largest single military operation of World War II. Hence, the Normandy beaches are a must stop if you get anywhere close to France. The 50th anniversary celebration in 1994 generated a lot of hype. The recent movie Saving Private Ryan rekindled that interest. However, the landing always held a special niche going back to the e...
  • Junior To Benedict To Major General
    1,261 words
    No other American is remembered quite the same as Benedict Arnold. He was a brave soldier, a patriot- and a traitor. Benedict was born in Norwich, Connecticut, on January 14, 1741. When he was 14 years old, Benedict ran away from home to fight in the French and Indian War, but he was brought back by his mother, who apparently was driven insane later in her life. If I had a son like Benedict, I might have gone insane too! After his mother insisted that he return home, he ran away for a second tim...
