The Bolsheviks had a huge strategic advantage due to their geographical position within Russia, in that they had control over major cities such as Moscow and Petrograd, which had many people within them. Due to this they controlled major factors and therefore could retrieve large quantities of war materials. The industry was also very efficient due to the huge mass population in which the majority supported the Bolsheviks. Due to these factors the Red army were very self-sufficient and had a military advantage over the white forces that had to depend on limited, foreign aid. Their control over major cities and thus access to more weapons therefore lead to the Communist victory in the Civil War.
This has caused many to make up a false persona of who Genghis Khan was. He was a great ruler who was respected by loyal subjects and followers, and who does not deserve disapproval from ignorant people. There are some notable personal and political events in the Great Khan’s life, which impacted his decision to unify the Mongol people. He grew up in tribal violence, murder, abandonment and fear, which helped shape his character and also gave him a strong survival instinct. “Hunting, trading, herding, and fighting formed a seamless web of subsistence activities in the lives of the early Mongols” (17).
Wyatt Earp Wyatt Earp was known for being one of the best buffalo hunters in the west in the 1880’s. His methods for hunting buffalo were very different than others which made him a more successful hunter and a legend for many reasons. Wyatt was able to identify the amount of time and energy that other hunters exerted and was able to change the flaws in the work flow which would allow hunters to work smarter and not harder. He was able to refine the custom process such that he would spend less and ultimately gain more. He was able to ‘outsmart’ buffalo by using the right tools and methods to kill cleaner, quicker and ultimately more buffalo than anyone before him had.
Buck Eyed Bill Buck Eyed Bill was probably one of the more well known mountain men that had settled in the west. The way that he was able to get twice as many beaver skin as the next greatest man. He was able to talk to the indians and get them to go behind each others backs. He would bring things like rifles, blankets, and pipes. He would tell them that they would receive these gifts for free if they would go to the other tribe and steal their furs.
3. Along with venturing farmers came a potential threat to their farming goals: Natives. Except this time, they were brought upon a higher importance level than before. As America industrialized, the need for resources grew bigger. This led to exploitation of large lands that Natives very much respected.
I could have had many more wives but I was content with what I had. She is a great cook and could clean kills with skill and speed. The whites killed many of our buffalo for reasons no man can justify. I once stumbled across a plain close to our sacred hunting grounds where many buffalo where slaughtered only for their tongues and hides while the rest was left to rot in the sun. It was a sad day for the Sioux with many tears shed and many prayers sent.
Finally through this initial alliance, Massasoit was able to start trading and acquiring European weapons, which enabled the Wampanoag to better defend themselves in battle. Lafantasie reflects, “Massasoit had worked diligently to maintain the peace with both the Plymouth Separatists and the Massachusetts Bay Puritans” (Lafantasie). Trade became the most important strategic factor for the Wampanoag. With the tools Massasoit acquired from Winslow, the Wampanoag were able to create trade items more efficiently. This allowed the settlers to gain beaver pelts and other furs, needed for survival during the cold harsh winters.
“Even in South Central Africa, which has always been exceedingly prolific in great herds of game, it is probable that all its quadrupeds taken together on an equal area would never have more than equaled the total number of buffalo in this country forty years ago.” (Hornady, 1889, p387). This great animal was the life’s blood of the Native American people and was used for everything from food to clothing and tools for just about any everyday job. Although North American Bison were hunted by Native Americans for centuries, western expansion in the 1800s brought the bison to near extinction. The great herd It is a well- known fact that Native Americans hunted the bison for thousands of years with what seemed to be no impact on the enormous population of the great herd. Archeological studies have uncovered proof that Native Americans used virtually every part of the bison for almost all aspects of everyday life, from clothing to shelter and tools, even for jewelry.
The plain Indians hunted buffalo, elk and sometimes antelope. To capture the animal they would try to surround the herd or they would try to get to high ground or places where they would be killed more easily. Hunting life was much easier after they had horses. They usually hunted with a bow and arrow, but after the white settlers arrived they started to trade guns. The Indians would usually hunt all year long.
“We cannot kill that bison” said Chikelu “I have a feeling that it is an omen, I can feel the energy of the spirits within that bison” Chikelu preached. The people of the tribe were hungry and dazzled with chief Chikelu statement. Since they are not the ones to make commands they listened to him and followed the bison. Once
