Prior to the United States joining the war, it wasn’t looking good for the Allies. Germany was on the offensive and feeling very cocky and confident. Germany was within 40 miles of Paris and if they managed to conquer Paris, their chances of winning the war would increase tremendously. Unfortunately for the Germans, the United States showed up just in time to fight them off. 600,000 American soldiers fought the Germans off and German numbers began to dwindle.

World War 1 was a devastating war that resulted in the death of millions. This included young, old, and many people from many different nationalities. But there was one battle in the war that would put a newly made country straight into the spotlight, revealing whether or not this independent nation deserved respect, and individuality. This country was Canada. And this took place at Vimy Ridge in 1917.
Americans drew the last straw and built stronger nationalism to fight even though the United States was severely unprepared for war. The Americans were willing to go to war to proudly defeat
The people who took place in these battles had the biggest impacts because they had the courage to band together and keep fighting the opposed threats from Britain. Lastly, the underlying theme shown is confidence, and how it slowly built up in the American spirit time to time. Even when it looked as rough as possible and civilization in the backcountry was all but safe, there were little victories such as keeping the land, surviving an enemy raid, or defeating a small militia in which these Americans gained more confidence in order to win the
U.S. troops were lead by Oliver Hazard Perry. They won the Battle of Lake Erie in 1813. That then made the territory in the Northwest strongly American. They also redeemed themselves by battling in Detroit again, but winning this time. While this was happening the U.S. Navy were winning a ton of battles.
Despite dismal successes in this war, it still boosted the military careers of Generals Andrew Jackson, Jacob Brown, and Winfield Scott. All though their victories did match to previous wars these men “produced a new era of great Generals” (History.com). Today, most average Americans are unclear of the details containing the reasons why the war was fought, or who the United States fought against. Nevertheless, this war considered by many as America’s “second battle for independence” (history.com), the British called it “Mr. Madison’s War” (Hickey).
The British were the strongest military power in the whole world in the 1770s. Britain had the strongest military, and yet they were defeated by a group of colonies that didn’t have a standing military before the war. The colonies were at every disadvantage, only held together by their patriotism and their desire for Independence. Due to Britain’s methods of warfare, their judgement of the colonists, and France’s intervention in the war, Britain was defeated by the colonists against all odds. European style of fighting involved large numbers of companies forming a line in an open field and taking turns firing upon one another.
Now that Russia dropped out, all the German troops moved toward the Western front. This was a big blow to the Allies. If it weren 't for the U.S, the Allies would 've probably lost the war. We gained a lot of technical knowledge and income from our participation.
Prompt 1: Don Marquis argues that abortion is prima facie wrong because it deprives fetuses of futures of value. What is an objection that one could make against Marquis's argument? How might Marquis respond to that objection? I'd like to say this up front: I am very pro choice. As such, I disagree with many different components of Don Marquis' argument.
The battle at Vimy Ridge was a defining moment in Canadian History because it gave Canada a sense of nationhood “The Battle of Vimy Ridge marked ‘the birth of a nation’ for Canada, says Governor-General David Johnston” (Postmedia news). It was the first time all four Canadian Corps fought together in the history of the war. The victory of ‘taking Vimy Ridge’ was celebrated, and two months later Viscount Julian Byng was promoted out of the Corps and Arthur Currie became the first commander of the Corps. The 60’000 casualties in the war, made Vimy the most symbolic of Canada’s overall sacrifices. This pushed Prime Minister Borden to ensure a separate representation at the Paris Peace Talks after the war.
Educated at West Point, George S. Patton (1885-1945) began his military career leading cavalry troops against Mexican forces and became the first officer assigned to the new U.S. Army Tank Corps during World War I. Promoted through the ranks over the next several decades, he reached the high point of his career during World War II, when he led the U.S. 7th Army in its invasion of Sicily and swept across northern France at the head of the 3rd Army in the summer of 1944. Late that same year, Patton’s forces played a key role in defeating the German counterattack in the Battle of the Bulge, after which he led them across the Rhine River and into Germany, capturing 10,000 miles of territory and liberating the country from the Nazi regime.

On June 6, 1944, the Battle of Normandy began. This day, also known as D-Day, would go down in history for making a tremendous impact on the war. The German and American forces fought hard, inflicting injuries beyond compare (G1). Many people were highly dedicated to fighting for their country, resulting in many lost lives (C1). Many Americans were so determined that they actually swam into German fire to fight on the coast of France (F1).
When John came to power in 1199, he was in control of a significant amount of land in France. Only five years later, in 1204, French King Philip Augustus had seized control of huge amounts of land, and John was now the first monarch in many years to have control of only England and Ireland. This huge change came about for many reasons and was influenced by a huge number of factors, but even today there is still much debate over how much responsibility can actually be placed on John. One possible reason for John 's loss of Normandy was his lack of sufficient funds to fight effectively against Philip Augustus of France.
Oh my Christina! You’re a lucky individual and so is your father. I hope that your father was mentally able to bounce back from that. A good friend of mines is facing a similar problem.
