According to Army doctrine, examining the geography and manmade structures, as well as the climate and weather in the area of operations allows commanders to understand their physical environment. After he identified three hillcrests situated in parallel, BG Morgan knew this would be the best location to set up a reverse slope defense. Each hillcrest was slightly higher than the one before, giving BG Morgan the ability to place his troops in the trough between the hills. This created an American advantage for two reasons: the British ground forces did not aim when they shot, having most of their rounds miss high of the target and the Americans would be able to better identify the British silhouettes against the skyline. BG Morgan’s understanding of the terrain also meant that British forces would have to advance moving uphill at multiple points in the battle, tiring their forces over time.

The Colonists were able to win the Revolutionary War because they became allies with France which meant that they would no longer need to have supreme military power and would be better able to cope with the challenges of the war they were facing. Even though they eventually won the war, the Colonists were still facing trouble and disadvantages throughout the war. However, they were able to pull through because of smart decisions by their generals. For example, because the Colonists had a much smaller Navy, they strategized and attacked British merchant ships instead of Navy ships.
The Downfall of Hastings In this extract in Act 3 of the masterpiece: King Richard III written by William Shakespeare, the filthy Richard is in the midst of "getting rid" of a few people that he believes might stand in his way of getting the throne. At the beginning of this passage, Ely, Hastings and Stanley are waiting for Richard and Buckingham to return to the Tower of London because before that, Richard had gone to have a quick word with Buckingham. The discussion that they have after Richard returns, truly changes the relationship between Richard and Hastings due to Richard's actions. These changes in relationships show the complexity of Richard's plan and his great ability to manipulate and persuade others to usually allow Richard to move forward in his execution of his plan to become the King of England.

William was a good king. I strongly believe that William was a good king, mainly because he had won many wars for his nation and had given them pride and land to live,work on and rule. Even though that he had raised the taxes really often it was for a good cause, like buy metals and other building material for military purposes or just for building houses for the serfs and their landowners. William was in his time,winning all his wars and bring fame upon his name. He was a good leader and protector for his people because all the invasions that were held in his domain he had successfully held them of and won.
However, even with the odds against them they prevailed. The United States were able to win the war for several different reasons. The colonies did not have a single national capital.
In my opinion, the novel “The Lost Eagle of the Ninth” by Rosemary Sutcliff is somewhat more superior than the movie The Eagle. Though both have fine qualities and are well-developed, the novel is the original, it contains mainly more factual information about the Roman Period in British history, along with more advantages. I’m not trying to say that the movie is substandard, it also has many different and unique benefits. I plan to prove my argument by comparing and contrasting the story to the movie. I shall use any online sources that contain information about the movie, and I’ll use the book itself as well.

Both authors show an understanding of Beowulf being a charismatic leader. Furthermore, they explain the qualities of a charismatic leader but show lack of information to explain a little more about it. Overall, the story teaches us a lesson to be brave and help others.
