The British did succeed in holding certain areas but the lack of communication withheld them fully from succeeding. They were eventually pushed back because the lack of reinforcements. The Ulser division broke through the German lines and captured Schwaben Redoudt and had the advantage in taking Thiepval. Lt General Thomas Marlin was watching the battle from 3 miles behind the front and for complete disregard of Major General Percival advice failed to execute an idea that would have possibly changed the outcome of the battle. Percival wanted to use his twelve thousand men that he had in the reserves and bring them up through Schwaben Redoudt to attack the German line from behind instead of up front.…

Heinrich Schliemann was born January 1822 in Germany. His father was a minister of religion; he had many siblings and his mother died in 1831, which resulted in Heinrich being sent to live with his uncle. Even before reaching the age of thirteen he seemed to have a strong interest in archaeology. He claimed in later life that by the age of eight he had already formed the ambition of excavating the city of Troy. In 1846 he was sent to St. Petersburg as a firm’s agent there, but he soon started his own business, and became rich from it. In 1850 he became an American citizen. He then returned to Russia, where he married, and, at the age of thirty-six, retired from business to devote his time and his great fortune to the study of prehistoric archaeology,…
As the European War progressed, early German advances and gains were decreasing by the mid-years of the war as it became evident the tide was turning against the Axis powers and in favour of the Allies. Operation Barbarossa and the entire Russian campaign can be seen as one significant turning point that helped to change the course of the war and yet it can be argued that this was not the sole and most major turning point. The Battle of Britain in the air war and the Battle of El Alamein in North Africa have also been labeled as turning points in the war due to their significance and the contribution they have equally played, along with Operation Barbarossa, in assisting the eventual Allied victory.…
In March 1918, with nearly 50 additional divisions freed by the Russian surrender on the Eastern Front, the German Army launched a series of attacks on the Western Front, hoping to defeat the Allies before U.S. forces could be fully deployed. In the north, the British 5th Army was virtually destroyed by two major offensive operations, Michael and Georgette around the Somme. A third offensive launched in May against the French between Soissons and Reims, known as the Third Battle of the Aisne, saw the Germans reach the north bank of the Marne river at Château-Thierry, 95 kilometres (59 mi) from Paris, on 27 May. Two U.S. Army divisions, the 2nd and the 3rd, were thrown into the Allied effort to stop the Germans. On 31 May, the 3rd Division held the German advance at Château-Thierry and the German advance turned right towards Vaux and Belleau Wood.[3]…

Benjamin Banneker was born on November ninth in 1731. He was born in Ellicott’s Mill, Maryland to former slave Robert and the daughter of a former English indentured servant Mary Banneky.

Canadians played a major role in the Battle of Britain. The Canadian contribution went by ignored when in fact Canadian bravery was a contribution on its own; they also helped on the grounds, and fought in the air which ultimately helped win the Battle of Britain.…
The word “reticence” is not a common word to hear in everyday life. The word “politician” while more commonly used, has received a bad reputation, at least in the United States, because it has been associated with power-hungry, manipulative public officials who value the progress of their agenda over their own integrity. Public officials, from Presidents to mayors, have been caught lying to the public within the U.S. liberal democracy, have tainted their own reputations, and have lost trust from the people they were elected to serve. By entering into a position of service to over 300 million people in the United States, political officials, especially those who serve at the federal level, should be held to a higher…
It was a cold and foggy night on October 7th, 1777 when the British army led by General Burgoyne was about to attack the American army led by General Gage at Bemis Heights. This battle was known as the second Saratoga. This battle was almost like its own war, because so many people died that day. I’m sure everybody that fought…
The battle of Tannenberg and Masurian Lakes proved to be very important battles. Both General Paul Von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff were instrumental in the battle to which they were touted the name “heroes of Tannenberg”. The plan was for the French and British armies to hold the German armies in the west as the Russian armies which were much larger than the Germans could organize themselves. The German commander positioned six of his divisions behind the Angerapp River west of Gumbinnen leaving a two division and a regular division near Allenstein to protect the slow advancing divisions of the Russian armies. Advanced elements clashed at Stalluponen on August 17 after which Pritwitz attacked with his three main corps at Gumbinnen three days later simultaneously. This caused much loss to the Russian army which lead to them retreating.…
