The Battle Of Algiers ( Fln ) Of Algeria

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.

People try to help people when sometimes, no help is needed. During the 1800's, the more developed countries wished to expand and help to develop other nations. They did this by the process called imperialism. One of these developed countries was France, who imperialized Algeria. They did this for many reasons such as nationalism and the White Man's Burden. French Imperialism on Algeria was harmful during and after Algerian independence politically, socially and economically. It was harmful during because politically, the French took over Algeria by force and forced them to do their work. Socially harmful because the Algerians morals and way of life depleted. And economically because they were given jobs equal to lower class citizens, and did not help their economy. After independence, Algeria did not keep the changes that France had previously made politically, socially and economically. Making the whole process harmful to Algeria

On the 6th of June 1944, Operation Overlord began to free France from the Nazi German army. The invasion and liberation of France from Nazi Germany was a pivotal battle in the Second World War. This stems primarily from the extensive use of the Field Artillery throughout the battle. Many of the tactics and equipment used during the largest amphibious assault in history, are directly related to the current American artillery arsenal and how the United States uses that weaponry on the battlefield today.

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 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

On 15 January, Porter continued to be in position to provide their most massive bombardment yet in preparation for the attack. At noon, 1600 sailors and 400 marines executed the ground assault along the beach about a mile and a half north of the fort. By 1500 the marines’ new position was now unable to effectively provide cover for the ensuing assault and failed to keep the Confederate riflemen off the fort’s parapet. As 1500 passed, the sailors quickly became restless for the army’s attack signal. Not waiting for visual confirmation of the army’s attack as directed, 1600 sailors ran across the open beach, and the naval attack very quickly became a rout. The sailors with only their pistols and cutlasses were no match for the Confederate riflemen, canister, and grape. After only 20 minutes the assault was repulsed, with the men retreating in droves, leaving over three hundred dead or wounded sailors and marines. Many of the wounded were left to drown in the rising tide. This was not the outcome Admiral Porter’s had envisioned.

The War of 1812 was a military conflict between the United States and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Three major theaters of the War of 1812 included the Atlantic coast of the United States, American, Canadian Territory, and the Gulf Coast. The Battle of New Orleans occurred in the American South and concluded the War of 1812.

Algerians were once under the rule of the Ottoman empire and a lot of Algerians ended up becoming Muslim. Although the Algerian people were happy to see the end of the Ottoman rule they did not want to be under the new rule of the French government who had helped them get rid of the Ottoman. In an Article called Algeria: What were the effects of assimilation the author describes the life of Muslim Algerian natives after the French came a drove out the Ottoman Empire and the struggles Algeria faced to become independent. “By the late 19th century, colonial policies had turned Muslims into second class citizens compared to European settlers. Laws defined Algerians as subjects rather than citizens unless they agreed…”. The French that governed

This battle happened in Ypres, Belgium on April 22 ,1915. The Canadian first division was assigned to the front line to hold 3.5 kilometers. It was a day with gentle breeze blowing in the direction of Allied lined and suddenly there was green cloud. The Germans unleashed the first gas attack in history using chlorine gas. This new method of warfare killed 5200 Canadians . The gases burned the eyes, throat, and lungs. Some soldiers survived the attack by using rags soaked in urine. This battle is very significant to Canadians because when the French- Algerian soldiers fled, Canadian troops stayed there for four days. Canadian troops gained the reputation of being courageous fighter. This battle

WWII was a very brutal war, but The Battle of Normandy changed it for us. This was the turning point in the war. To prepare for this fight the Allies decided to increase the air strikes and bombings to slow down the German army, who had been trying to take over France at the time. This battle was set for June 5th, but actually took place on June 6, 1944 at exactly 6:30 a.m, when the weather was supposed to be the calmest, and ended on June 30, 1944. The Allies wanted to “end Hitler’s dream of Nazi denomination”(www.dday.org). This invasion is known as “one of the largest and amphibious military assaults in history and required extensive planning.”(www.history.com). The Allies decided that they wanted to “trick” the Germans into thinking that they were going to land somewhere else north of Normandy, which made it a surprise attack. Hitler decided to put his troops more up North because that’s where he believed the Allies were going to land. Not only were the beaches raided, but concentration camps as well.

Since its release in 1966, Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers has divided critical opinion. The film which depicts the Algerian struggle for independence against French colonial power, was awarded the Lion d'Or at the 1966 Venice Film Festival. Yet, despite this acclaim, the inherently controversial film was banned in France until 1971 due to its graphic portrayal of torture and repression during the Algerian war. The politically engaged director had however sought to make The Battle of Algiers within a 'dictatorship of truth,' neither supporting the Algerians nor reducing his film to propaganda. Influenced by the distinctive film style Neorealism, Pontecorvo rendered such an extraordinarily accurate reflection of social reality that

Children of the New World: Acting out “The role of Algerian women in their own society has rarely been what it has seemed” (Heggoy 1). Prior to the Algerian war, women in Algerian society were under patriarchal rule and, under such rule, were expected to meet certain expectations. Among other rules and regulations, Algerian women were prohibited from being outside their home unaccompanied and were required to keep themselves heavily “veiled” at all times. They were not to question the authority of the Algerian men, especially the ones in their family. Despite these limitations, Algerian women found a place in the revolution. Although it sometimes meant defying their status quo as women in Algerian society, women used the resources and

Algeria was not always been independent and has been a part of several border and authority changes. Since its independency, Algeria has struggled to define its cultural identity. Several strategies have been employed to gain ground on its identity, such as promoting a policy of Arabization, loosening up the economy, and opening their political sphere. “Today the Algerian government seeks not only to sustain the recent ebb in violence and insecurity but also to promote greater unity within the country” (Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center, 2011).
