Ultimately however it must be said that throughout the period alliances change in their importance, but they generally become more decisive during longer conflicts, as alliances are helpful to sustain numbers of men, supplies going to them, and increasing the scale of your side of the war. Therefore I would say it is fair to argue that whilst alliances are crucial if you don’t have them, when you do other factors such as supplies, technology and the size of your army have to be right as well. The argument that alliances can make a real difference in whether or not you win or lose the war is well founded and has plenty of examples throughout the period to be made. In Napoleonic France there was the general issue that each country was fighting its own unilateral battle with Napoleon, and signed agreements individually with him, and not with each other. The individualistic nature of the fighting meant that the attack was easier for Napoleon to fight off, as he wasn’t overpowered by the scale, and could gather enough supplies to maintain it; whereas if he had fought all the countries at the
America’s successes in war generally boosted nationalism and spirit in the people. The United States were the true victors of war coming out with the most. Unlike other many other nations, America’s land, aside from Pearl Harbor, was barely touched omitting any extra time or money that would be necessary for reconstruction. Avoiding reconstruction allowed time for production. Not only was America prosperous, but they also were generous.
Both the Han Chinese and the Romans made use of technology, and the ways the empires were affected and the way applied the technologies were of a vast spectrum. These societies valued innovation, and especially the Han would honour those culturally significant by attributing the creation of technologies commonly used under the Han to these culturally relevant figures. The effect of central-government and other forms of management on these technologies and their uses had both positive and negative effects. For the Han, a state-induced monopoly had a vastly harmful effect, and if the government had not interfered then the progress of the tools would not have been interrupted. The governing authorities again like to use culturally significant figures in the tales of innovation and invention and discovery.
The Reds relentlessly employed superior military technique, but also were able to win over a far greater number of people through their innovative and attractive land policies. Conversely, the White army was quite incapable of waging a successful fight against their enemy. They lacked proper military and socio-political technique, struggling to mobilize their forces with the same
Although there failure of completely vanquishing the warlords there can be little doubt that Chiang was fairly successful in solving this domestic problem and the effects it would have on the country as it is probably that without him stabilising the political and social unrest civil war would have broken out in the country much early than it did. The GMD was able to successfully implement new and improved transport links throughout the country. The three thousand mile railway track connected North and South which helped Chiang to begin re-unifying the country and the people. However there can be little doubt that the transport was created for sole purpose of the urban rich who were the majority of his supporters and it only aided them to become
The leadership of Radetzky was important to the Austrian army as his guidance was much better than that of Charles Albert’s.The Austrian army was also very well equipped with weapons while the Italian army was not. However, since all the Italian states couldn’t agree on what they wanted
The source also goes on to describe Wolsey’s successes of the Field of Cloth of Gold which most pleased Henry as well as the meeting with Charles V at Sandwich and Gravelines in 1520. Other Successes were founded in the first French expedition at the Battle of Spurs which although was over exaggerated to please the population at home felt, it did feel like a huge victory for Henry in which he gained a lot of praise for at the time.
This benefit allowed tactics such as the ‘wedge’ to be executed as more soldiers could reinforce the wedge from behind, which would consequently break the enemies’ formation (Roman Empire.net 2012). As a result of these tactics many battles were won in favour of Rome. These victories can be appreciated as it too aided the faith in the Emperors. In comparison; Emperors used this power among society to increase their popularity. Instances in which this can be seen would be the gladiator games.
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
Mao Revolutionary Hero Mao's CCP was able to defeat Chiang Kai-Shek's KMT easily due to his high amounts of support and his massive capability to fight. While the KMT was out fighting the Japanese and wasting America's resources and aid, Mao was rallying people together in China (1A) mostly peasants as they were integral to Mao's vision of China's future (3A). Mao's 'Main Rules of Discipline' were also massive benefits for his followers to obey as people had to treat each other in somewhat the same manner and same respect, despite the fact that one might be a higher ranking than the other (5A). For example: Peasants being treated fairly by officials. This was a major encouragement for peasants to follow Mao as they have been mistreated for so long and now finally a leader has come up willing to defend them and treat them as equals.
