Battle Of Al Busayyah

The Battle of New Orleans was significant because it was the biggest part of the American Revolution for the United States. Andrew Jackson and his untrained army outsmarted the British, causing them to retreat and in result stopping the British from capturing New Orleans. The Battle of New Orleans was also important because it was the last major battle of the War of 1812. Andrew Jackson, America’s General who led the war, would be known as an American hero after this war. General Jackson heard about the British advancing towards New Orleans and he felt like he needed to save New Orleans. On January 8, 1815, American forces, under Major General Jackson, defeated the British forces trying to capture New Orleans. The battle, which takes place after the treaty of Ghent has been signed, was the most successful American victory of the war.

This paper will examine the British and American Southern Loyalist defeat in the Battle of Kings Mountain and discuss the assumptions the British made including loyalist support, logistic support, and terrain advantage.

In 2009 a planned re-enactment of the Battle on the Plains of Abraham was set to take place on the original battlefield in light of its 250th anniversary. However the historical re-enactment of the 1759 battle was cancelled by The National Battlefields Commission for security concerns that could, as CBC News wrote, “turn into a modern-day conflict.” There is speculation other factors influenced the withdrawal of the re-enactment such as the overwhelming negative responses from the francophones in Quebec. These negative reactions were supported by the devastation resulting from the loss of the battle in 1759 and the modern-day neglect of Quebec and French culture. I commend the decision to cancel the re-enactment of the Battle because of

The Crusades were a series of wars over the holy lands such as Jerusalem between European Christians and the Ottoman Empire between the 11th and 15th centuries. They fought for many reasons such as control over religious sights, access to trade and protection of fellow christians.

The Battle of Bull Run, or First Manassas to the Confederate States of America, was the first major battle of the Civil War. The battle would be a rude wake up call for everyone entering the war. This paper will explore the various details of the battle, including its importance.

American independence from Great Britain was at first all just a dream from new American colonists. After years of war and key battles with British forces during the Revolutionary War, this dream became a reality. However, some issues promised to be fixed after the Revolutionary War were not corrected. Great Britain had agreements and treaties that were left unfulfilled in the eyes of Americans. One major battle served as a resolution to all American problems with Great Britain, and served as an ending statement in the triumphant War of 1812, the Battle of New Orleans. This battle served as a breaking point for the newly founded American country as well as a

The Battle of New Orleans was the ending Battle that resulted in an American victory against the British during the War of 1812. But when Looking at The Battle of New Orleans, one must understand the the causes of the war of 1812 and how it eventually lead to the ending of the war with the Battle of New Orleans. The war of 1812 is most often believed that is was started because of British impressment of American Sailors. This meant that they were basically kidnapped and forced into British servitude. This disrupted American shipping, and obvious violation on American Sovereignty. There were many thousands of British sailors who were working for the U.S so a lot of the sailors that were kidnapped by the British were in fact, also British. Beside this fact, America was still not happy with the impressment of their sailors. This disrupted American shipping while bolstering the war machine of the British while they fighting Napoleonic France. Great Britain did not want war with the U.S and thus fought the war half- heartedly. This was a great advantage of the U.S because if Great Britain used their full war machine, the U.S would have certainly lost this war and could probably be back under British rule.

The Battle of Bull Run was one of the first major battles in the United States Civil War. The battle took place on July 21st, 1861 just twenty five miles southwest of Washington D.C., which was also the center of the Union Government. This battle also convinced the Lincoln administration and the North that the Civil War would last longer than they expected and would be consisting of bloodier fights costing many more lives. The US Civil War is known as the second most deadly war America has ever experienced (behind World War II). The leading commanders of the Battle of Bull Run were General Irvin McDowell, from the Union, and Brigadier General P.G.T. Beauregard and General Joseph E. Johnston, from the Confederacy. Neither of the commanding generals from North nor South was remotely ready for the conditions and the casualties their armies would endure in this war. The most important thing they did not know was that the Battle of Bull Run was this battle would help start the deadliest war the US has ever experienced.

The Union Troops(yankees) started landing on the bay of New Orleans on April twenty fifth. Although they could not land until they knew for sure that Forts Jackson and

Ron Travis enlisted in the United States Marine Corps when he was eighteen years old. He enlisted in 1974. Mr. Travis decided to enlist because he wanted to serve his country. While he was in bootcamp the Vietnam war ended. The Vietnam war was a fight to end communism in northern Vietnam so it would not spread to southern Vietnam. Then in 1955 president Dwight D. Eisenhower pledged his support to Diem and southern Vietnam. The Vietnam war lasted about sixteen years thousands of people lost their lives including American and Vietnamese soldiers they were either declared MIA or killed.

The Coalition Forces had an extreme advantage in equipment and the Soldiers’ preparation for the Battle of 73 Easting. The main U.S. unit in that battle was the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment (2nd ACR), which comprised three ground squadrons 1st squadron (Ghost Troop); 2nd squadron (Eagle Troop); and 3rd squadron (Iron Troop). They also had the support of an aviation attack squadron and an aviation support squadron. In addition, each ground squadron had three cavalry troops, headquarters troop, a tank company, and a self-propelled howitzer battery. Moreover, each cavalry troop comprehended 120 soldiers, 9 M1A1 Abrams battle tanks, and 12 M3 Bradley fighting vehicles. The Regiment’s mission included repelling or destroying the Iraqi's forces

According to Amin Maalouf, “It seems clear that the Arab East still sees the West as a natural enemy. Against that enemy, any hostile action-be it political, military, or based on oil-is considered no more than legitimate vengeance. And there can be no doubt that the schism between these two worlds dates from the Crusades, deeply felt by the Arabs, even today, as an act of rape” (Amin Maalouf). When reflecting on The Crusades Through Arab Eyes, this quote always sticks out as the most powerful piece of Maalouf’s work. As a growing college student this quote brings harsh reality to the world I live in. I believe as you grow through life, you become more and more aware of the world around you through education. In order to be aware you must

Khe Sanh, a plateau in the northwest corner of South Vietnam, was a U.S. Marine Corps base and airstrip. Located where North Vietnam, South Vietnam, and Laos came together, the Khe Sanh base was important for American forces, as it enabled troops to gather information about the traffic on the Ho Chi Minh Trail. However, the Communists also admired the region around Khe Sanh, since it could act as an avenue into Southern Vietnam. General Westmoreland, who would come to play a major role in the future battles, immediately felt this “crucial importance” (Brush) of Khe Sanh when he first arrived there.

Militaries, intelligence analysts, and policy makers have had to face complex and delicate problems like issues of surprise attacks in their respective countries. Such rare occurrences are particularly true for nations like Israel, as demonstrated in 1973 during the Yom Kippur War. It was on October 6, 1973, the “Day of Atonement” for Jews locally called Yom Kippur, when Israel was surprisingly attacked along its Golan Heights and on its positions in the much-contested Sinai Peninsula by Syrian and Egyptian forces. The invaders had an advantage over their rivals as most Israeli soldiers were observing Yom Kippur away from their usual posts. The vaunted Israeli commanders sent the Israeli Defense Forces reeling, eventually beating back the offensive.

The 2nd Battle of Fallujah was fought during OIF 2 (Operation Iraqi Freedom). Operation Iraqi Freedom 2 began at about March-April 2004 and lasted until February-March 2005. The 2nd Battle of Fallujah began 7 November 2004 and ended 23 December 2004. The objective of the operation was to capture or kill those responsible for murders and, corrupt activities, and end the rise of the insurgency in the city. The intent of the operation was to restore control of the city to the Coalition and the Iraqi Governing Council. Some of the events that led to the 2nd Battle of Fallujah were the U.S. forces being unsuccessful during Operation Vigilant Resolve (the 1st Battle of Fallujah) to capture the city and the Fallujah Brigade failing to maintain control of the city.
