This is a massive key factor to why the Bolsheviks had won the war because without the people that they controlled they would of not of been able to make all the weapons and the most essential things that they needed to win the war against the whites. So even though the whites had a bigger army, the Bolsheviks were able to win the war, because of all the support of the people they had control over and all the work they had done and the support they gave to the red army to lead them to victory. However the amount of arms they had and the amount of people they had control over may not be the leading factor to why they won the war. There are other factors such as the Bolsheviks had complete control over the trans-Siberian railway. This railway was the main line where all the supplies and goods came in and out of Russia so having control over this was a great advantage.
Also, the supply system was readily available because the previous battles won by the United States that allowed them to gain more territory on the Mexican land. The Mexican forces did not count with experienced forces, the officers and cadets where between the ages of 13 and 19 years old. The Mexican army was lead by Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana who knew that the castle was a great tactical point for the defense of the
They perceived threats to security; this led to war and then increased the length of border. The difference between their expansions was that Imperial Rome built its army from citizen-farmers, due to the conquest Rome had many slaves. Han Chine had a military at their disposal to enlarge the empire. Han China had conquered many lands but unlike Imperial Rome, Han China did not have slaves as a result of their growing territory. In order to work in the office of Imperial Rome he had to serve 10 years as a solider; while, Han China picked the upper class through the family.
The Mongols amazing military strategy also played a part in their success. How the Mongols ruled conquered people also allowed them to grow their empire faster and more efficiently. As shown in Documents 1 and 2, the Mongols were very smart in how they conquered people. They used strategies and tactics that were unfamiliar to the people that they were conquering. Document 1, was written in the 13th century and is written from oral stories of the Mongols.
The first major engagement in Ia Drang may have proved ultimately to be an American victory, but it presented the fact that fighting the VC would not be won through area wars, but purely a through test of which side could drain enemy troop numbers fastest in an attritional war. The VC was able to conscript up to 200,000 men a year, outnumbering the US. These were not just typical soldiers, they were fighting a war for freedom which had been going on for centuries, and this contributed to their overall passion and perseverance in the face of a much more advanced enemy. In comparison the standard American troop was conscripted via a date of birth drafting system, and kept in Vietnam for a year. Many troops were not committed to their duty in Vietnam and did not always see why they were actually putting their lives on the line.
General George B. McClellan: A Critical Analysis There is perhaps no other military leader connected with the American Civil War that created so much interest and caused so much controversy as George B. McClellan. His ability to organize and build a military was among the best in history. However, his ability to lead and fight has always been seriously questioned. Because his legacy was so widespread, we will look at and compare the timeframe from his appointment to General of the Army of the Potomac/General in Chief to his relief from command by President Lincoln. The authors we will compare are; James McPherson, Stuart Sifakis, and Ethan S. Rafuse.

The start of development through geography was interesting to learn more about.
Despite being crucial to the war effort, Rifles and machine guns did very little to break stalemate during World War I. Their primary function was that of a defensive one and thus, only served to slow advancement and only further cement stalemate. Out of the two, the machine gun best represents this notion. Its range of 500-1000 metres makes it a prime defensive weapon for combating against enemy troops advancing upon the recipient’s trench. Although highly accurate, the machine gun had very little tactical advantage for its own soldiers due mainly to its cumbersome and heavy design; consequently, it was used mainly for holding troops back.
With the number of personnel the rebels had vs union was little to none, they held off the north by smart tactics of well-trained officers. It should have been much easier battle based on the advantages he had at hand. I don’t know if the outcome would have been different had not Stonewell Jackson died, from my prospective he must have been a man who was looked up to with his military experience and victories. Once Lee and Davis surrendered and went home in peace it lifted much worry and weight off Lincoln’s shoulders. Over all I do think that Lincoln was overall the driving force who drove the country to unity once again, Could he have done better I do believe so.
Fist of all they brought with them superior weaponry. The Native Americans at the time were only using primitive weapons by our standards, and here the Europeans come with muskets and body armor. Although this is by no means the only reason that they were able to conquer America it did help in the fact that it made them a superior force, it made them harder to kill which made them more powerful. Along with their advanced weaponry they had the fact that all of their forces were consolidated. The Native Americans despite having a staggering lead in the number of bodies were spread out among the country.
