The War: The Battle Of Bunker Hill

The American Revolution, when 13 American colonies waged war against the most powerful country in the world, Great Britain, for their independence. Soldiers who fought in the war and risked their lives to gain the freedom we have today, is just one of the many prime examples of prevailing hardships in battle. George Washington proved to be exemplary just like many others heroic patriots, like Henry Knox and Nathaniel Greene, when triumphing over the British soldiers with what little strength they had and defeating them. Their victory was more than enough proof on why they deserved independence. David McCullough’s 1776, describes and educates us about events which happened before the war and foreshadows up to the revolution. We learn about the hardships thrown at George Washington and the Continental army whose intentions switched from equal rights to complete emancipation. Battles throughout the Revolutionary War, like the Battle of Bunker Hill, are well known, but McCullough shows the reader how the Continental army continues to strive on even when victory is not in their favor.

This paper will examine how a unwavering adversary and difficult terrain combined to negate the effects of American technology.

The Geography is super important, because the battle was on a hill and made the british walk up the very high hill so the Americans had an advantage. There were many important parts of the battle to, like when the American forces found out that the British wanted to take over hills, in Charlestown, Massachusetts.

The Battle of Long Island was one important military battle between Britain and its thirteen colonies in North America during the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783), and it is called the Battle of Brooklyn Heights. The Battle took place on Tuesday, August 27, 1776, after the announcement of Independence on July 4, 1776.

The Battle of Gettysburg was truly one of the bloodiest battles, but was a major turning point in the Civil War, which made sure of the

The Geography of the battle was important for the way the colonist won the war. The location that the British had chosen made it easy for the colonist to surround them. The battle took place in Virginia, Yorktown in the summer of 1781. The location made it easy to be surrounded because Yorktown, is located near the coast where the French ships could take over the boarding and drop off area. Yorktown was a peninsula located on the shores of Chesapeake Bay in the state of Virginia. The British could not manage to get help from naval ships because the french ships were blocking any ships from coming in or out. Surrounding the British was a huge advantage because they were almost powerless running low on food and water. This battle was the last

On June 16, 1775, a day before the actual battle was fought, the Colonial Army decided to move from Bunker Hill to Breed’s Hill. This is where most of the battle was fought; it was never correctly changed since the fight. The reason for the switch is simple, and makes sense for the small, independent and poor militia. The men “built earthen fortifications on top of Breed’s Hill, overlooking

During the Revolutionary War, there were many battles that were fought, but there were a few that changed the result of the war. The battles of Trenton and Princeton were fought strategically. During both of the battles, Washington made bold moves that later impacted the army’s success. Another battle that was fought was the Battle of Saratoga, and before this battle, the Continental Army did not have a strong chance of winning because they were facing the powerful and well equipped British army. The Battle of Saratoga was the battle that completely changed the tide of the war. The Battle of Yorktown was the last land battle fought of the Revolutionary War. It was also the battle where the British surrendered to the Americans and won

Taking place in 1775, at the start of the Revolutionary War, the Battle of Bunker Hill was a needed victory early in the war to get the soldiers to believe in themselves. Many soldiers in the beginning of the war did not believe that the lowly colonists could defeat and declare independence from a superpower; Britain. Although outnumbered and with little confidence, the continental army stood their ground at the Battle of Bunker Hill and proved that they could win the war.

The Battle of Yorktown was the decisive battle of the American Revolutionary War. The French and American forces laid siege upon the British forces at Yorktown, Virginia and eventually forced the surrender of nearly one-third of the total number of British troops in America. This battle showed that massive loss of life is not the only factor that will determine the victor, as there were a relatively low number of casualties taken by both sides. Instead, it was an aggregate of economic, social, geographical, and weather factors along with a bit of luck when it came to the timing of the major military movements and tactics all led to the success of the Franco-American forces. Had it not been for these combined factors the Battle of Yorktown and the American Revolutionary Was may have had a very different outcome.

This battle was a success in the American point of view. They were able to capture and siege Yorktown with minimal losses. In total only 88 allies were killed which was significantly very good. What I would do differently would be I would be fighting with my men instead of being

Following the war in a loose chronological order, the main turning points of the American Revolution began as the war itself began. Lexington and Concord, while not being “turning points” per say, were the kick-off. What followed was the erroneously name “Battle of Bunker Hill”.

Moreover, he requested for the support of the House of Lords and the House of Commons on his position. This caused The House of Lords and the House of Commons to go into a solemn debate and to vote in favor of the King’s Proclamation well into midnight, ending at 4 AM. Thus, the first battle began between American and British troops. War between the Americans and the British Empire appeared on April 19, 1775, at the battle of Lexington and Concord, near Boston. Subsequently, the next battle took place and is commonly known as the Battle of Bunker Hill, which occurred at Breed’s Hill and Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775. Although the Battle of Bunker Hill was a victory for the British, they had one thousand casualties that resulted from the skirmish. A few days before the Battle of Bunker Hill, George Washington accepted to be the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army. During these months, British troops were under siege at Boston and their food and supplies were running dangerously low. Sadly, Britain got news from their troops in America a month or two after things had happened to them. This was due to the fact that Britain and the American colonies were separated by the ocean, resulting of a 3,000 mile distance.

There was battle called Battle of Jutland during WW1. It was a small but big naval battle. This battle was fought between Great Britain and germany. It lasted only 2 days which is surprising. It went from may 31 to june 1. This battle was important during The Great War because it was the only naval battle during the great war. It did not affect anything very much because when the battle was over both sides claimed victory. Meaning it doesnt matter because theyre was no one side victor or loser. Even if they both lost it would not have afected anything.
