After watching the movie Glory, my thoughts about the Union and the battles had changed. I began to notice that the Union needed more people so they allowed free slaves to help participate in the war. The thing I liked most about this was that black people had the right to fight in wars and got lots of respect from the generals. I felt really good when they were being appreciated just before going in a battle. There were many generals I liked because of their hard work to put their army together.
It is by far the finest book I have read, and it continues to impact how I lead. 2. We Were Soldiers Once … and Young by Harold G. Moore and Joseph L. Galloway Pete Kilner: I read this while at the Infantry Officer Advanced Course. I was struck by how Hal Moore and his commanders knew their Soldiers, by the things Moore did to create a winning culture and by how unpredictable war can be. Another big takeaway was that despite the brutality and emotions of combat, a leader must remain calm, see the big picture, and anticipate the “next steps” for his unit and the enemy.
Being a good leader is to instill the confidence and skill worth of the ones that aspire to accept the challenge of change. Churchill’s success has been measured through the difficult challenge that faced his country during the battle of World War 2. Churchill was also a measurable success because of his passion in problem resolution and the ability to take the risks needed to help better shape and support his country. Through history and as well as present politicians being successful does not always end with being a good leader or having great management skills, however the ability to continue to bring encouragement and growing faith in those you are leading is a measured success that only the future will be able to measure. Leadership is often not recognized until years later when we have had the opportunity to review the actions and plans of the individual.
Some historians believed that political view was the reasons for Napoleon Bonaparte’s strong autocratic government. His background as a soldier gave him plenty of advantages and his military successes made him a well-known person in France. Thus, they believed in him and all the soldiers like him for his victory. He has revolutionary ideas as he has been raised during revolutionary condition. By that, he knew what to do and not to do in administrating France.
She cared about him and believed of what he was capable to do in his life so much that even followed him to West Point when he was a cadet, and lived there so she could be close to him. The main influence in MacArthur’s life was the military academy West Point. He lived his life by the West Point values of duty and honor, which shaped his personality and who he became. General Douglas MacArthur was one of America’s most powerful leaders in history. His fantastic strategies combined with his skills of being a great general helped many of the outcomes of the American conflicts in his time and many of the victories may not have been received if it was for MacArthur.
His powerful speech was influential and enabled the German public to feel more optimistic within the war as well as regime. Another reason why the Nazis proclaimed to total war was because Hitler was keen on establishing Germany as a strong nation. The defeats
The Military Conquests of Napoleon Bonaparte and His Rise to Power Napoleon’s eventual position as Emperor of France and conqueror of much of Europe was attainable by way of a trail of accolades escorted by luck. The accomplishments accredited to the proactive Napoleon himself were always ironically shadowed by a fall to destitution. The indubitable ambition, vehemence, and astuteness of Napoleon propelled him from a young age; he enclosed a self belief that he was preordained to be monumentally eminent. His military training and reflective inquisition of classic military and political heroes and ploys coalesced to mold a dominating and mystifying military leader as well as an illustrious political figure in the late eighteenth, into early nineteenth century of France. Born in Corsica, May 15th, 1769; Napoleon grew up with aspirations of a weighted and heroic distinction of himself engraved in the history books of his native land.
These immigrant soldiers would gladly fight and give their lives to protect their homelands from tyrannous German military dictatorship. The U.S. government would use these ties of patriotism and anti-tyranny to strengthen their troops through propaganda, libel, and advertising methods such as slogans, caricatures, and the first appearance of Uncle Sam. Patriotism would unify the American people as a whole during the Twentieth Century. Racial prejudice and segregation were prevalent among both American and European troops during World War I. The French respected the African American soldiers, but did not want jealousy to arise between them and the white American troops.
The main reasons for why the Reds won the Civil War the geographical factors affecting the war, support for the Bolsheviks and the Red Army and crucially were the leadership of Trotsky. The first reason why the Reds were able to win the Russian Civil War was down to the superior leadership skills of Trotsky compared to the Whites. Using strategic propaganda tactics and superb military leadership, he commanded the Red Army into victory. The first reason why the Reds had such a better leader was the way he chose and commanded his army. This was firstly by very strict military discipline.
At many points during Act III Antony’s qualities of a great leader are dramatically demonstrated to the audience through framing- not through Antony’s dialogue or his actions, but through the way he is presented through how others speak of him. A conversation occurs between the soldiers of Antony’s army, Ventidius and Silius in Scene I, that demonstrates how they view him as a “grand captain” and strong leader, through their fear of undermining his greatness. Rather than attaining his ambition of glory, which is “The soldiers virtue,” Ventidius would rather lose in battle than “gain which darkens him” the disfavour of his superior. His concern for his relationship with Antony, demonstrates that Ventidus values his leadership abilities and honours his honour. Likewise, though Caesar has ruthlessly criticized Antony for his Egyptian debauchery it is clear within the first few scenes of Act 3 that Antony is still upheld with honour and high status in his eyes.
