Why Did Americans Win The War?

It seemed as if it would be impossible to defeat Great Britain. George Washington was leading an army that consisted of 20,000 men. Some men were young, poor and did not have land or any skills, Women were also a part of this rebellion by helping those who were hurt from fighting, sick, and simply by cooking and cleaning up after one another. Slaves were also participants in the war. While Great Britain had about 50,000 volunteers

Prior to the historic Battle of Yorktown, General Washington had experienced a number of losses. These battles where along the upper east cost of the colonies in fairly strategically important places, such as New York and Boston. This is partly the reason why the British underestimated the strength and resiliency of the American forces. Additionally, they believed that the Americans would diplomatically end their rebellion, which unintentionally aided the American effort. Up until the Battle of Yorktown, the frustrations by the American forces were building up and a change in tactics was needed. Instead of the conventional combat tactics, General Washington began to use a guerrilla warfare methodology. Consequently, British forces were not expecting nor were accustomed to this type of attack and rapidly became exhausted.

Many historians believe that the Americans were responsible for the war of 1812. However, in reality, some major events that contributed to it were the Chesapeake attack, the impressment of American sailors and the Nonintercourse Act. Therefore, although the war was a result of many conflicts between both battling nations, the majority were caused by the British.

General John Burgoyne and General William Howe plan an attack which would make the British victorious. Their plan was to separate the New England colonies from the southern colonies along the Hudson river. They would meet in Albany and advance to take control of the Hudson river. However, General Hoye gets lost and ends up in Philadelphia, leaving General Burgoyne without any reinforcement. The Americans then establish a strong front along the Hudson river. General Burgoyne's tries to move his troops through the Americans front; however, he was unsuccessful. The two armies meet at an abandoned farm on September 19, 1777, it was the beginning of the Battle of Saratoga. The British army could not break through the Americans front and had to fall back due to casualties. This battle was known as the Battle of Freeman’s

With the conclusion of the instructional unit I would have went back and looked at what content needed to be reviewed or re-taught to the students. When looking at the data on the pre-assessment students struggles with questions 8, 9, 10 and 15. On the post-assessment students improved on question 8, 9 and 10 but the number of correct responses stayed the same on question 16 which determined students did not gain additional information needed to answer questions 16. The unit could be expanded to discuss more information on how the Continental Army won the war with the help of allies since these types of questions were missed the most or showed the least amount of improvement. Although students already have an

I have many thoughts and opinions on the Civil War. First of all, the civil war was a fight between North and South. This was also called Union versus The Confederacy. I am personally glad the Union won the war. If this had not happened this would have been a bloodier war the later we got into technology. For instance, the technology would have been bigger and America would have had a bigger population causing way more deaths in the process of the war. The fact that slaves could walk free after the war was great. The only problem was that they did not get treated as well as the white men did after the war. This did not happen until the Civil Rights Movement.

On September 28, 1781 General George Washington started his siege on Yorktown, where the British General Lord Charles Cornwallis garrisoned his 9,000 troops. Those actions are just the final steps that won the battle and solidified the United States as an independent nation. The real beginning of the Battle of Yorktown started in August of 1781 when the French army led by French Commander, the Comte de Rochambeau, convinced General Washington to attack Yorktown instead of New York. The Comte de Rochambeau Stated to General Washington, that if he was to attack New York that they would suffer a great deal of casualties due to the British’s well fortification of the area and that the attack wouldn’t succeed. General Washington was convinced by his ally’s concern, so on August 19, 1781 the French and United States Continental Army Began their march to Yorktown in order to crush Lord Charles Cornwallis and his recent string of victories.

My thesis is how did the American Revolutionary War help America. The American Revolutionary War helped America by the United States, France, and Spain negotiated the Peace of Paris in September 3, 1783. The treaty recognized the United States as a new and independent country. The war also helped America because The Declaration of Independence was signed in July 4, 1776. This is the thesis of my essay.

The British boasted the largest and most powerful military force in the world. The Americans had yet to even form an organized military force, and most of the fighting was done local militias. In addition, the American colonies were not experienced in the art of working together as a cohesive unit. If that were not enough, most of the colonists actually opposed the war when it began in Lexington and Concord in 1775. Early in the war, the British continued to reign supreme with military victories. However, the Americans were running on moral successes, which increasingly frustrated the British. In October of 1778, The Battle of Saratoga proved to be a crucial turning point, when the British surrendered while trying to capture the Hudson River Valley. This critical win was what convinced the French to become a much needed ally for

Soviet Union Moscow was North Vietnam’s ally. They supplied weapons and military advisors, over 3 000 soldiers, 2 000 tanks, 7 000 artillery pieces, 5 000 anti-aircraft guns and 200 surface to air missiles.

International conflict refers to violent conflicts between two nation states who are fighting outside their borders. Conflicts between two countries can occur for several reasons. In the past, international conflicts like great wars were fought for power and control over the world. A superior country would wage war against a country with equal or less strength and whoever has the strongest military force would typically win the battle. In most cases, if the lesser country did not have the power to win the war an alliance would be formed to help the weaker state. World War I and World War II are prime example of different countries forming alliance with each other for self-gain. Wilde mentioned, “by 1914, the six major powers of Europe were split into two alliances, which would – with the exception of Italy –

An Investigation into How the British could have achieved victory in the American War of Independence

The only reason the Continental Army was spared was because of Howe’s secret “hopes of negotiating a peaceful end to the rebellion.” He was also so sure of the fact that “British victory was inevitable, which in turn meant that a more limited strategy was wholly adequate.” By delaying the process of suppression, the Continental Army gradually gained experience and courage. Washington also learned from his mistakes in the Battle of New York and ignored his “aggressive military instincts;” he eventually put aside his “honor-driven character” to adopt a new attitude towards his definition of a victory. “Though it ran counter to all his instincts, he now realized that his goal was not to win the war but rather not to lose it,” and thus he embraced a defensive strategy in the fortress of Harlem Heights. However, before this pivotal moment in history, Howe could have and probably should have listened to Clinton in targeting the Continental Army at King’s Bridge.” However, “Howe wanted his American campaign to be a more measured affair,” meaning he could have put an early end to the Continental Army, but chose not to in order to remain civilized and reduce
