The Battle Of Mu By Gabriel 152

The Battle of the Wilderness was the first battle of the Overland Campaign during the Civil War. Often overlooked because it was indecisive, it is historically significant. It definitively identified Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant as the leading man in the fight for the Union and set the stage for the move to the James River and the taking of Richmond, Virginia, where the Confederate Army ultimately fell in defeat. Grant planned the battle between May 3 and 4 of 1864 and the battle itself occurred on May 5th and 6. This battle, the first between Grant and General Robert E. Lee of the Confederates, was the first major engagement between arguably the two greatest leaders of the Civil War.

The Battle of San Jacinto was a decisive battle that helped to secure the independence of Texas. The Battle occurred on the 21st of April, 1836 in which the Texan Army led by General Sam Houston defeated the Mexican Army led by General Santa Anna. Despite the Mexican Army having a superior number of troops and equipment, they were not able to defeat the Texan Army, and thus led to the eventual capture of General Santa Anna and the withdraw of Mexican Forces from Texas (Hardin, 1994). The one key element that aided the victory of the Texan Army was the patience and terrain knowledge that General Houston had. What if General Santa Anna had sent a scout element to recon the terrain? What if General Santa Anna

Charles "The Hammer" Martel halted the encroaching Islāmic nation in October of 723. This battle's regarded as one of the most important battles in the history of the world. The Muslim army had the army of Martel outnumbered greatly. That didn't stop the great military mind of Martel. He found out where the Muslims were camping at and he hit them there as well as on the battlefront. He won the Battle of Tours and prevent further Muslim encroachment. Had he of not succeed in doing what he was doing there is almost no argument to say that everyone in the world would belong to the Islāmic Church, speaking Arabic and living in a Muslim society.

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 Battle of San Juan Hill took place in the hills surrounding Santiago, Cuba on July 1, 1898. It was a battle between the Spanish forces commanded by General Arsenio Linares and the United States Army V Corps commanded by MG William Schafter. Although the United States won the battle, MG Shafter did not properly exercise all of the principles of mission command prior to and during the battle. MG Shafter failed to provide a clear commander’s intent and exercise prudent risk, but several of his subordinate leaders developed cohesive teams through mutual trust and exercised disciplined initiative to win the Battle of San Juan Hill.

The Gabriel Rebellion was a revolt organized in the summer of 1800 by a man whom many call Gabriel Prosser. His last name was derived from his master, Thomas Prosser. The main objective of the revolt was to fight for the freedom of black slaves held within the state of Virginia. However, the revolt did not materialize because word spread around before the plan could be executed. Immediately after the governor got wind of the revolt, security was beefed up around Richmond where the uprising had been planned to start. Nonetheless, the rebellion had an impact on the treatment of slaves in Virginia. For instance, the unrestricted movement of slaves within the state was banned along with the practice of hiring out slaves. The government also enacted a law that prohibited freed slaves from staying within the state boundaries for more than twelve months. Taking everything into account, although the Gabriel Rebellion did not materialize, it did change the manner in which slaves were treated and hastened their emancipation.

The Battle of San Juan Hill July 1, 1898 was one of the bloodiest battles of The Spanish American War. The battle of San Juan Hill also known as San Juan Heights was of strategic importance because it permitted the Americans to place guns above the harbor at Santiago. The gun positions overlooking the harbor prevented the Spanish Navy from escaping which ultimately led to their land forces surrendering shortly after the loss of San Juan Hill.

This week I decided to tackle the Battle of Moultrie that occurred n June 28th, 1776. This battle is also named the Battle of Sullivan’s Island, which occurred between the British and American Continentals and militia.1 The British were led by General Sir Henry Clinton and the Americans were under the overall command of General Lee and his subordinate, General William Moultrie.2 The British began make preparations for their southern operations during the war in January 1776 and assigned General Clinton as overall commander.3

European exploration of the New World beginning in the 15th century was able to occur due to improved technology, religious reasons, expansion, resources, and power. These factors allowed several voyages such as Christopher Columbus’ voyage to the Americas- resulting in the colonization and conquests of the Native Americans. Despite the wealth and power earned from these voyages, a decree issued by King Charles I of Spain, the New Laws of 1542, outlawed force labor of the Native Americans. The Spanish colonial settlers should acknowledge the New Laws of 1542 and implement these edicts. The massacres imposed by Hernán Cortes and Francisco Pizarro and the harshness of the encomienda system as well as Bartolomé de las Casas’ revelation of the

The Battle of Corpus Christi took place during August 12 to the 18 of 1862. The Union leader during the battle was Lieutenant John W. Kittredge while in the Confederate states Alfred M. Hobby was the leader. The battle was fought both in land and sea. While the Union won the tactical battle in the sea, the Confederate won the strategy battle over land.

The German Peasants’ War of 1525 has been seen as both the last great medieval peasant revolt and as the first modern revolution. For more than 150 years the War has been the topic of ongoing historical debate. Indeed, it has always been a subject of contention among historians who seek to determine its relation to the Reformation. While most Reformation scholars have arrived at a consensus as to the series of events that transpired during the war, there has not been such agreement regarding the perplexing inner dynamic of the uprising. Set against the backdrops of both the German revolutions of 1848 and the political developments that characterized 1970s Germany, this debate has seen engagement from the historians Friedrich Engels and Max Steinmetz, who provide a Marxist interpretation that attempts to depict the war as the “high point of the early bourgeois revolution”, locating it within a German revolutionary tradition by citing the socioeconomic tensions that arose through the peasants’ oppressive relationship with the feudal lordship of their rural communities. Departing from the Marxist interpretation, Günther Franz has entered into the debate, defining the revolt as a “political revolution of the German peasant estate” that was made possible by the Reformation. Although he acknowledges the troubling nature of the evident economic difficulties, Franz understands the war as a response to the changing political structure of 16th century Germany.

Battle of Al Busayyah: Was a tank battle fought before sunrise near the town of Al Busayyah. The city was defended by Iraqi Infantry units secured with machine guns and fighting positions. The 2nd Brigade, Part of the U.s 1st Armored Division, was in charge of taking the town. Their plan was to move north and seize the city, and the rest of the Brigade would attack Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard north of Kuwait. This battle led to another battle hours later, known as the Battle of 73 Easting.

Hourani attributes most of the success of the early conquests to the specific role played by Muhammad. Muhammed did not play the role of political leader in the Umma or conquests, but took the position of supreme arbitrator. However, he may have been involved in military leadership; a text from Syria written between 632 and 634 mentions that “a false prophet [had] appeared among the Saracens… with Sword and Chariot”. However, the arabs’ military success can also in part be attributed to the warlike nature of their society, which had been apparent in the constant skirmishes which had previously beset the tribal society. This is a particularly useful source, as the ‘wall of ignorance’ means that many of the sources we can access were written by the victors or were passed through Isnad (word of mouth). The fact that this source does not originate from the victor enhances its reliability.
