Even soldiers worked on building the battering rams and one of the weaknesses of the battering ram was that it had to be brought right up to the castle gate or wall which left the attackers vulnerable. They were later replaced by more advanced weapons like the catapult or the trebuchet. The design for a battering ram was from simple to advance. In the middle ages they used wood fitted with a metal head which was hung by metal bands and were often fitted with wheels for performance and speed. They were often fitted with supports which kept the ram in place and helped to create a greater force.
To get there they had to think of ways to help them in their conquest of lands whether it is swords or other technologies. There political and environmental characteristics were pretty impressive, but who know which one was better. Rome was an empire known for its tough army and its vast line of rulers who conquered and crushed anyone who got in there way. The Maurya too was powerful with its rulers,
They were used as a weapon, which Harold didn’t have. The horses could run a lot faster, and they were much stronger than humans. This would have helped William’s army, since they had more energy to fight and they didn’t have to use their legs, as for Harold’s army they had to walk and run which made them become more tired and had less energy to fight. Another reason why the Normans were successful was because they were very lucky. When the Harold’s army were up at Stamford Bridge fighting the Vikings, the wind had changed and the Normans could go to invade.
War. It is a pretty broad subject, especially in books. In fact, it is what Ender’s Game, written by Orson Scott Card, was written entirely about. But what is war? According to Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary, war is described as “a state of hostility, conflict, or antagonism; a state of usual open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations; a struggle between opposing forces or for a particular end.” This is a logical explanation, but it brings up a question.
The medieval tournament and joust are classical examples of competitive ritualised mock combat. The joust from the time of Maximilian I developed into a sport with enormous cost involved for each knight and correspondingly high prestige attached, comparable to contemporary Formula One races, while at the same time minimizing the danger of injury with highly specialized equipment. In the Late Middle Ages, staged fencing bouts, with or without choreography, became popular with fencing schools. Some German combat manuals have sections dedicated to flamboyant techniques to be employed in such Klopffechten ("knockabout fighting"), which would be impractical in serious combat, and the Late Medieval German masters distinguish mock fights (fechten zu schimpf) and real combat (fechten zu ernst). In Asia, stylized stage combat has been a staple feature of traditional Japanese (Kabuki tachimawari), Chinese (Beijing Opera) and Indian performing arts for centuries.
World War 1 there was a lot of fighting and a lot of people going against each other for their own beliefs and what they may have wanted that they couldn’t get so they had to fight in order to get what they want. The war brung a lot of
The Thirty Years War was fought mainly upon the precepts of religious tensions and disagreements. There were however, significant political changes throughout Europe that were initiated by the war. For the most part, however, these changes were not seen until the conclusion of the Thirty Years War in 1648. There were other consequence seen throughout Europe such as a weakened economy, population decline, and property damage. The major players in the Thirty Years War were the geographic areas of present day Germany, Spain, France, Sweden, and Denmark.
First, the civil wars, there were always disagreements and the people of this empire loved fighting. So, war was above reasoning and agreements. Another main reason that helped with their fall was that the empire was too big for them to handle. They conquered most of Western Europe but could not keep up with it all. Military generals took advantage of this and took control of certain parts.
The American Revolution was perhaps one of the most profound moments in United States history because of its consequences that followed. The wars that happened during the revolt of American colonists against Europe were brutal, bloody battles. These battles were not only costly with resources, but also costly through lives. The constant fighting that happened between colonial America and Europe was enough to make life incredibly hard during those times. Before the American Revolution, life was simple and in fact very boring because of the way England was treating them; governing them even though they were not in England.
Art of War by Sun Tzu Sun Tzu is the author of “Art of War”, one of the most influential and sought-after books about strategies in battles.
