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.

Some of the ways that lead to the war were all the different revenue acts being passed England was taxing everything they could. The Colonies felt that England had no right to pass laws when the Colonies didn’t even have a voice in the government. The Colonies had no one representing them in the government, but England felt that the Colonies were only there because they allowed them to be; so why should the Colonies have representation in their government?

The loss of her only son Breckie, at the age of 4, and her only daughter Polly, at six-hours old, evoked the desire for Mary Beckinridge to do all she could to bring health care and nursing services to the poor mothers and infants in the rural, mountainous areas in Leslie County, Kentucky. These are people who would otherwise not have had access to proper health care for the birth of their children. Mary always had an interest in the needs of others (Crowe-Carraco, 1989) which is reflected in a quote by her late son, Breckie who said, “He was always falling down, but said he could fly.” He was speaking of a baby bird that he came upon during one of their walks. After years of serving others as a nurse both in the United

The M1 Garand was one of the most successful rifles in the 20th century and has given the upper hand to the Allied soldiers in World War Two. The M1 Garand was a weapon that made the

The American 155mm artillery gun was an exceptional artillery weapon of WWII. Well known by its nickname the "Long Tom", the gun could fire a 95 lb. projectile upwards of 15 miles with high accuracy. It could fire more than 40 rounds per hour of high-explosive, chemical, smoke or illuminating shells. Two different types were built, the M1 and M2. The M2 version fixed a deadly defective breach, starting in April 1944. The army built this weapon to have a big impact on the soldiers they were firing on. The American army is the first army to use and develop this weapon.

the army rerouted to the Orthodox city of Constantinople. With just 15000 men, the crusade put the city with a population of 500000, under siege. The soldiers of the crusade were horribly cruel and killed people of the city. Their actions went against so much of what the Christian faith stood for that Pope Innocence renounced the crusades. He gave a statement about how evil had corrupted the original motives of the crusade. However, the reasons he gave for ending the crusade were because the soldiers were harming Christians. The Pope didn’t seem to care about the welfare of the Orthodox adherents. Just a decade later, Pope Innocent banded together another crusade to complete the goal of his first one. The venture was largely unsuccessful and resulted in the killing of many of the fighting Christians. There were several more crusades that were met with little success in the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries, but none of them had the degree of participants that the first four armies did. Fortunately, since then there have been no more Christian centered battles and hopefully the future does not hold any.

After Marshal Montgomery blockaded Rommel, whose fame was generally known as the ‘Desert Fox’ with the navy and the air force in the Strait of Sicily for more than 100 days, the Allies won the North African Campaign on May 13, 1943. As the Allies freed for further action with the victories of about 250,000 German and Italian troops surrendered on the north coast of Africa, the British and the American strategists were facing two options as their huge army quartered in the southern Mediterranean (www.history.com). One of the option was put forward by the American chief, suggesting that the Allies should transfer their forces north for the impending invasion of Europe from the English Channel. Even though this suggestion was disapproved by the English chief who held the opinion that the Allies should strike the Europe from the southern Italy, this strategy was later known as the ‘Invasion of Normandy’ that completely helped the Allies win the WW II. The option that the British chief favor for finally became the strategy of the Allies’ first-step invasion in Europe because it not only utilized the fighter cover from air bases on British Malta, 60 miles south of Sicily, but also saved the Allies’ shipping to the English Channel as the American chief suggested that. The strategy of pressing north into Italy was vividly described by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill as invading the ‘the soft underbelly of Europe’(www.history.com). The underbelly here, however, referred to

This carbine design was originally conceived as a more compact variation of the standard army assault rifle, one that would use the same ammunition but be more effective in the dense jungles of Vietnam. Utilize this same design as you light up your friends and competitors on the airsoft field and pulverize your opponents with your technical advantage. You can choose between either semi-automatic or fully automatic shooting modes, and the flip-up fiber optic sights are fully functioning. Shooting at a solid 420 feet per second, you can take on competitors from a distance or in close combat. Trust us, even the opponents with the most padding will know you shot them.

Other performances at this time also have Saint-Saëns performing in benefit of the Red Cross and later in 1870 to wounded soldiers. His duties as a soldier were as much delineated in protecting Paris, the subsequent “active patriotism” as they were in utilizing music as a means to inspire, and mend the psychological wounds of warfare; the more subtle, but still active patriotic muscle.
