Other then the fact that the British had an awful tactic, they did not have the right weaponry. Haig was a strong believer in Calvary, and was skeptical of the newer machinery. When the British walked across no mans land the Germans just mowed them down with their machine guns. At the end of this battle there was 400 000
The failure of foreign policy in the years 1514-1525 can be attributed to many things. The combination of Henry's isolation from European affairs and the fact that his attempts to raise tax were ultimately unpopular failures, meant that he had no way to impose himself upon Europe. Even when he did manage to scrape together the finances needed for a strong foreign policy his reliance on his allies led to disaster. As soon as Henry took the throne in 1509, it was obvious that he was a king that wanted to fight a war. However, wars generally led to very expensive costs to the country.
The only reason the military was too large and unsupported was because many of the taxpayers died of the plague. The German barbarians, which were the ones that eventually burned Rome to the ground, didn’t support brothels, public baths, and drank ale made with boiled water. They also lived in more spread out housing This would have made them far less susceptible to plague. When they invaded Rome, they would have been far stronger, whereas the Romans would be weak and small, ripe for the picking. Even though the Gothic tribes were mistreated, doesn’t meant they would have rebelled enough to cause the Fall of Rome.
The tanks were not designed to travel over the rocky beach and resisted to movement in a mere matter of minutes since departing the boats. The artillery used, Bren guns and Tommy guns, was mediocre and in some instances their trajectory was too low so that their missiles failed to reach the appropriate destination. Although that was an unwanted nuisance it was not the main issue, the real problem was the lack of weapons. Since this was supposed to be a surprise attack the allies wished to be light in order to move quickly among the sea. This would include not bringing very important bombs and mortar shells and heavier guns, these weapons were close to or equivalent to the German artillery.
The government could not control all these invasions, so this was another component that helped the fall of the Roman Empire. Document 5 shows bias because it blames the fall of the civilization on internal decay. This is significant because if a very well organized government that had been able to keep order throughout such a large empire could no longer do it, then this meant nobody else could. All of these political
Britain had strong allies which cooperated with the nation well to achive victory against Germany.For example,the Colonies provided great manpower and supplied food.Also in 1917,U.S.A joined the war which provided great manpower and brought resources useful in war.However,Germany’s allies were practically useless. They did little to pressurize the enemies and unable to provide huge resources.Sometimes,Germany's obligations to assist its allies had a serious impact on the outcome of the war in the Western Front,since they forced the nation to transfer large amounts of manpower to other fronts,something which its allies did not do to the same extent.Also, the Italians changed sides as soon as war broke out which was unexpected and might have influenced the initial plans and strategies of the Central
The tanks were also unwieldy to use as they were prone to getting stuck in the mud and breakdown, as well as being short-ranged and slow, travelling only 10 kilometres per hour. These first tanks had not been tested in trench conditions and were not developed enough. Over a third of the shells used were duds and did not explode on impact. However, the tanks were useful in gaining land and were very effective against machine gun fire as the infantry could follow behind it using it as a shield against the bullets. Later, at the Battle of Cambrai, they were to be used to much greater effect.
For example Keegan tells us that he didn’t have enough gas and solders but didn’t tell us about what he did wrong strategically. Hitler’s big mistake was basically underestimating the allied
This made the Romans prone to injuries and “because they have no armor, think about running and not fighting” (Document B). Because of the loss of troops from the loss of armour, the Roman army’s numbers diminished. No soldiers were drafted since many groups were exempted from joining the army. This lessened the defences and security of Rome, and Rome became weaker. Another primary reason of Rome’s decline was a series of foreign invasions.
It was a short iron tube with a tiny hole at the end for the fuse. These were used more like small canons because they were difficult to carry and fire at the same time. They were used more for intimidation because they took too long to reload and were too inaccurate to be very effective. Gunpowder had to be mixed on site because it was very dangerous to travel with, so gun crews had to try to mix the correct amount of each ingredient during battle. These made accuracy impossible because the explosive force of the powder varied every time.
