The defeat of Great Britain at the hands of American forces in the Revolutionary War presents an interesting question of how colonial forces were able to overcome superior forces in conventional, face-to-face encounters.

The redcoats also held the advantage of superior leadership and a strong chain of command. Overconfidence in…
film. The dark atmosphere generated by the dark ground and cloudy sky are employed to create a sense of tension and anticipation, climaxing with the capture of Galen and the escape of Jyn. Dramatic tension is also artfully established during the Alliance council meeting on Yavin IV by using a medium closeup to show the raw emotion of fear and hopefulness being expressed of the council leaders as well as spectators. In the same scene, during Jyn’s short spiel the shot transitions into closeup in…

The path to independence for American Rebels would not be an easy one. From the view of militaries, many historians rank the British army as one of the best in the world. How could a motley crew of misfit, part time American soldiers take down this enemy? Three ideas can help understand how America could stand up against the British regulars and win their freedom. One such idea would be French help. Without their assistance, this war probably would have ended earlier and nothing would have…
Hussein was ruling. Since the US destroyed Iraq, it was easy for ISIS to take over. ISIS however was a very small group then. Soon they turned their attention the Syria where there was a civil war.

The reason for the war between the Ezo Republic and the Meiji was that the two sides wanted different forms of government for Japan.

This book that I have read had a great story with an amazing plot. The ending of the story was pretty sad but to me it was kind of unfinished, because of the story continuing in the third book. I would change the ending to something that would make more sense. This story ends at where Katniss is already saved by Finnick and they are at the hospital discussing about rebellion. After telling Katniss that Peeta was not saved and how the Capitol bombed and destroyed her home district she loses…
