Great Britain and the Turkish Empire crossed paths during the 19th century as a result of Western Europe’s involvement in the Crimean War. The Turkish Empire was already weak from internal unrest, but Russia’s threats burdened the empire further and this eventually lead to the Crimean war. Turks were struggling to defend themselves because their weapons and methods were inferior to Russia’s, plus they were already exhausted and fatigued from internal conflicts within their own territories. Allies from Western Europe stepped in and aided Turkey during the war and they defeated Russia in the end, but this was a wakeup call for the allies because they realized the superior power of the Russian military. They recognized the need to modernize military

From June 26 to July 2, 1862 the Seven Days Battle was an attack by General Robert E. Lee of the Confederate Army that comprised of six different battles. McClellan 's army had the intent of capturing Richmond, Virginia, but Lee lunched a counter attack and drove McClellan’s army back to the sea. This ended the Peninsula Campaign. With a Confederate Victory, this increased morale in the South, because of the string of victories Lee had had.

in more of an open field style combat with much longer ranged shots, the troops were trained for that rather than being trained for the more urban and close proximity battles that they ended up participating in. Additionally, during the Revolutionary War, the United States struggled with the length of time that they would have the Combatants to their disposal because of the extremely small enlistment contracts they issued and agreed upon. Assuming that WWI would take place over multiple years, the military knew that they had to correct that past mistake. They decided that if they were going to train someone in the profession of arms, they needed to at least get ample use out of that individual which led them to extend the enlistment contracts as they felt needed. After the Revolutionary War was over, the United States was presented with some debt that they owed, and to pay that debt off they decided to use a system of bonds to borrow money from the people promising to pay them back in the future.

The countries of Great Britain and France were locked in a conflict and neither wanted the other to attain any supplies from neutral countries thus the implementation of economic sanctions on countries like the United States. The U.S. were also outraged by the fact that the British Royal Navy would commandeer American seamen off of vessels and force them to serve under the crown and not be allowed to leave. The British also encouraged the Native Americans along our western borders at the time to begin skirmishes with
For thousands of years Great Britain was a powerful nation and couldn’t be beat so how did thirteen small colonies manage to defeat them? Great Britain obtained 13 flourishing colonies in North America and in order to keep these colonies they had to battle against France and Native Americans in the Seven Years War. In result of the Seven Years War Great Britain was in massive debt with British and Dutch bankers ( ) and as a way to repay their debts the Parliament decided to raise taxes, especially high in their Northern American colonies.

Prior to the start of the Seven Years War, the colonies of the United States had experienced a permissive relationship with Great Britain due to the act of Salutary Neglect. However, after the war, England felt they could no longer have such uninvolved relations with the colonists and began instituting stricter policies over them. Consequently, the Seven Years War marked a great turning point in colonial relations with England, with changes such as the legislation which led to the increase of British control as well as anti-British sentiment in the colonies. But despite these changes, continuities such as loyalty to Britain still remained after the war. At the end of the war, the Treaty Of Paris in 1763 ratified Britain’s uncontested control

To the victors go the spoils of war and the history books. In America this adage should be changed to ‘to the European victors go the spoils of war’, as by the end of the 19th century people of European descent had won conflicts against the native populations spanning from the time of Cortez to the end of the 19th century devastating native populations and culture. One of the most prominent examples of this one sided history was King Philip’s War, fought in the years 1675-1676 between the Indians of New England, led by the Wampanoag Chief Metacomet, and English colonists, as over 400 English accounts survive today while no Indian accounts are known to exist as history was told orally generation to generation.
