Describe the operations used by the Allies to defeat Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, ultimately resulting in the unconditional surrender of each power. D day, battle of stalingrad, To attain the unconditional surrender of both Italy and Nazi Germany, The Allies relied on well planned and well timed operations. The surrender of both of these powers did not come easy or because of and one specific event, but rather a string of battles that wore down the Axis powers in Europe. Some operations however could be known as “ the straw that broke the camels back”. One in particular that really hit the Germans hard towards the would be end of WWII was the Battle of Stalingrad.
The British blockade kept all trades away from the Germans, including food (Ghost Liners 124).Yet, when the Germans retaliate, the Americans hate them for it. The Germans received blame for a crime that followed the rules of war blockades. America shames the Germans for killing civilians warned of the possible danger. Finally, the Lusitania allowed for the British to win in a win-win situation that their government
* 4. Outline the plan, method and scope of the offensive To this end, a multiphase plan was developed: in the first phase, the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) would launch attacks on the border regions of South Vietnam to close those regions to American observation. Following this, a second phase of widely dispersed attacks by the Viet Cong directly into the major centers of the country would cause the collapse of the government and would prod the civilians into full-fledged revolt. With the government overthrown, the Americans and other allied forces would have no choice but to evacuate, leading to phase three attacks by the Viet Cong and PAVN against elements of the isolated foreign forces. * 5.
America was gripped by a growing and self-righteous rage… the mighty host I had expected of your country was duly raised and dispatched…” (p107) What examples does Changez provide? What did he try to convince himself of? America’s kind hospitality towards Changez and Pakistanis diminishes, evident when “Pakistani cabdrivers were being beaten to within an inch of their lives; the FBI was raiding mosques, shops , and even people’s houses; Muslim men were disappearing, perhaps into shadowy detention centers for questioning or worse.” Through these “rumours [he] overheard”, he tried to convince himself “that these stories were mostly untrue; the few with some basis in fact were almost certainly being exaggerated.” 4. “Time only moves in one direction… Things always change” (p109 ) What does this refer to? This is an implication of 9/11, suggesting that what’s done is done, people can only grieve for so long before they need to move on and eventually “things [will] change” and it will get
Shortly before what would be the final Confederate assault, the Union army quickly realized that it was out of ammo, and Chamberlain ordered what can only be described as a desperate suicide mission: a bayonet charge down the hill. Miraculously, it worked and the Union line held and Chamberlain received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his bravery. I’ve taught English before, and were I to face a charging force of screaming Ribs, I would have ditched my bayonet, grabbed my Whitman, and booked it out of there. The Battle of Gettysburg may be most infamously known for the events of Day 3, when Lee (going against the advice of his generals once more), launched the bulk of his army on an enormous frontal assault on the Union center which he thought had been weakened by the previous day’s flank assaults. He was wrong.
Therfreo he ordered immediatiely to have bombing raids agisnt military installations in North Vietnam and ordered his troops to land. However, the enemy matched every incrase in Amreican firepower with more men and more wiliness in the art of guerilla warfare. The South Vietnamese had become spectators in this war and incraisgly became Americanized. The corrupt government succeeded ecahc otheri n Siagon, but American still had fiath in calling them a democratic ally and the spokesperson in Wahsington defeded this axction as America’s commitment to the treayt pledges to resist communist encroachment. The Gulf of Tonkkin Resoultion gave U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson authorization, without a formal declaration of war by Congress, for the use of military forces in Southeast Asia.
Their plan was for the Venetians attack against the harbor wall and the French against the north end of the land wall, adjacent to the Palace of Blachernae. The French then took up position opposite the wall. After they attacked, they could not do more so they decided to burn the city down, much of their materials and equipment did not work but they accomplished their goals. The crusaders looked forward to restoring the holy land to the cross. Young Alexius the 4th could not raise enough money for the crusaders so he was kidnapped and imprisoned.
It certainly seems that they tried to mend the damage done by appearing on public affairs programs and making speeches about how the Tet was an allied victory and a Communist defeat, but it seems that the damage had already been done. [7] “The Johnson administration’s public relations efforts to salvage popular support for the US Vietnam War policy in the aftermath of the Tet assault failed. Maybe the media is given the same freedom to report and access today, in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, as they were in Vietnam. It may just be that the heart of the American people today are just so hardened with hate for the people we are fighting that we just overlook the atrocities and incompetence that is reported. I am sure that looking back on it, the Johnson administration wished that it had a better handle on the media by maybe using more censorship and giving the media less access to the fighting.
During this time the British pushed up through the Arabian Peninsula with T.E Lawrence helping to organise the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire. Russia withdrew from the war after signing a treaty with Germany. This originally caused problems for the allies and the central powers were believed to win before the arrival of the Americans resulted in Germany being overpowered. This causing the call for an armistice in which the central powers signed the treaty of Versailles and agreed to pay for the damages that they had caused. The war left an entire generation of people physically and mentally disabled and damaged.
The Crusades or Jihad (holy war) between Islamic and the Christian fanatics from 635 to 1588, was outright murder, sanctioned war or just a convenient religious method of getting rid of the opposition supported by the Churches and rulers of the time. I think it really depends on whether you are asking a Christian, or a Muslim, or someone who is an Atheist and a supporter of neither religious group. No matter whom you talk to though you will undoubtedly get a different answer form each. I think the Crusades and Jihad where murderous in nature, in the name of a god who could care a less about land, and if conducted today depending on the country would be considered terrorism. I say that because the United States invaded Iraq for no real solid reason and the world community other than Middle Eastern countries railed around and supported us, however think back when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990.
