On the night of May 9th 200 Green Mountain Boys assembled under Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold to capture Fort Ticonderoga. However only a small portion of the men could cross the lake to capture the fort as there weren’t enough boats for all the men. Fearful of losing the element of surprise Allen and Arnold decided to attack with their small force. With only one sentry on duty the colonists stormed the fort waking the men at gunpoint and disarming them. The captain was roused from his chambers and surrendered his sword peacefully, with nobody dying during the assault.

The Americans fired back and advanced. The US left line was ordered back to secure the flank, and an 18-pound cannon dispersed the Mexican cavalry, which, in response, turned to the right, seemingly to threaten the flank or to attempt to take the supply train. The infantry sprang into action to make contact with the enemy cavalry, supported by the “Flying Artillery,” and was able to halt the immediate attack. During the cannon bombardment, a portion of the prairie caught fire and the smoke concealed the armies from each other. While waiting for the smoke to clear, the US 18-pound cannons had been moved forward to the road that the Mexican cavalry had once occupied. The Mexican Army also repositioned. After about an hour the smoke cleared, and the artillery commenced again. From its new position, the Americans created openings in the Mexican line of infantry. A squadron of dragoons were ordered to the left of the Mexican Army’s line but suffered from artillery fire as they moved forward. The US 4th Infantry was exposed to a significant barrage of cannon fire as they supported the two 18-pound cannons, and several men were killed or wounded. It was then that the Mexican cavalry began an advance on the right flank. As they got close, the infantry squared up a formation to interrupt their advance and a brisk fire of small arms began. The well-directed volley from the front of the line silenced all further firing from the cavalry. Frustrated, the Mexican Army began an attempt to flank the left of the US line. Bold and brilliant maneuvering of a battery quickly repulsed the enemy, who then retreated back to their original position. As a squadron of dragoons moved to assist the left flank, they gradually drove the Mexican Army back, and the enemy had a significant loss from the field. As night began to fall, the firing ceased and the Mexican Army fell back behind their positions and the

General Washington now had a combined force of over 16,000 American and French Soldiers ready to begin a siege of Cornwallis and his British force of only 7,500 Soldiers. The French Navy had decisively defeated the British Navy. There was no chance of escape for the British, both land and sea routes were blocked. On September 29, 1781, the Battle of Yorktown began. As Washington moved his Army closer to the British, the British would engage them from their defensive positions. Over the next 6 days, the French and Americans would establish their trenches needed to begin the siege. The French and America Armies moved Artillery pieces into position to engage the British.

War is a dangerous game, many people would likely agree to this, however, very few have ever seen a battlefront. The truth is that war, no matter how awful we can imagine it, is always exponentially worse. In Timothy Findley’s The Wars, Robert Ross, the protagonist,­ faces a situation that he finds difficult to come to terms with, and when faced with a similar situation later on in the novel, he must take drastic measures to reconcile the uncertainties of the past situation. Timothy Findley suggests, through the life of Robert Ross, that one’s need to reconcile the uncertainties of past experiences dominate our actions when such situations come up again in our lives.

The Battle of Thermopylae was one of the most significant battles in all off ancient history. It occurred in 480 BC between the invading Persian army, led by the self-proclaimed god-King Xerxes, and the Greek city-states, led by King Leonidas. Analysis of the battle of Thermopylae presents a classic case study highlighting how proper training; pre-battle planning and preparation; superior implementation of observation and fields of fire, avenues of approach, key terrain, obstacles, and cover and concealment (OAKOC); and cultural differences allowed a smaller military force to withstand a much larger opposing military force. This paper will apply the United States Army’s Four Steps of Battle Analysis to evaluate the key factors that

This extract shows that when someone dies, or gets so injured they cannot keep on fighting, there is not a lot of respect given to them. The word ‘flung’ indicates this, illustrating the fact that they are not provided a lot of care; and that they are just one person in about 20,000,000 who will not survive the war.

The battle of Thermopylae was the Greek’s first stand against the massive army of King Xerxes, and was the most influential battle of the entire war. Up to this point, the Persian army was seen as too massive and powerful to be stopped. The once warring city-states of Greece knew they couldn’t stand against the Persians alone, and knew in order to defend their homeland they would have to unite. A unity of command was agreed upon; King Leonidas of Sparta was chosen to lead the Greek forces. He was chosen to lead because of the unsurpassed warring abilities the Spartans were so well known for made him perfect for the objective of stopping the Persians.
