Gallipoli – Why was it so important to Australians? Gallipoli was one of the longest military campaigns during World War 1, taking place between 25th April 1915 – 9th January 1916.

I feel the ground shift and taste the dry dirt in the breeze as I step forward. I’m one step closer to being one of the first soldiers sent to fight at Gallipoli or one step closer to being rejected and sent back home to be called an unfit pathetic coward by society.

Pertaining to American history it is vital to educate yourself about two symbolic men that put their differences aside so the Civil War could come to an end. Two men named Grant and Lee were able to do just that. In the reading “Grant and Lee: A Study of Contrast” by Bruce Catton, the author writes a compare and contrast essay detailing their backgrounds, personalities, and aspirations. When evaluating all of these contributing factors it is clear that Lee was vastly a more impressionable…
