Robert E Lee Confederate Army
2,005 words
It is likely that when comparing Civil War
Generals that the historian cannot make general or
specific comparisons between personalities like
Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant. They
eventually fought each other, and Grant was the
victor. Who was more bold? Who was more the
genius? Who had the best instincts? When comparing
Robert E. Lee with Joseph Johnston comparisons
come quickly. One was a bold offensive minded
general and the other? And the other was also an
offensive minded general who lac...

World War Ii Hitler Felt
1,142 words
... s prime minister, Can, that the military
campaign in Greece would be a quick success.
Germany was taken completely by surprise by
Italy's actions, which she totally disapproved.
Hitler had to switch tracks at this time. He had
to postpone his final conflict of the war,
Operation Barbosa, an attack on Russia and
concentrate on the Mediterranean. Italy invaded
Greece through Albania without a declaration of
war. Without the knowledge of guerrilla warfare,
Italy found itself retreating back int...

Ho Chi Minh Tet Offensive
1,316 words
The Tet offensive was certainly the decisive
campaign of the war, but lost in these set of
battles was the real underlying reason why the
grossly underestimated NLF and North Vietnamese
army could actually succeed in this undermanned
set of attacks. I think the real success of this
campaign was not the effectiveness and the
planning of the NLF and NV army, but the lack of
preparation of the US forces. The NLF and NV army
have received too much credit on this suicide
mission. The credit should ac...

Austro Hungarian Austria Hungary
1,120 words
It is generally accepted that Germany and her ally
the Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary (together
called the Central Powers), played the main role
in creating the conditions that led to the Great
War. Germany began to take the initiative after
her traditional enemies France and Russia joined
in an alliance. She expanded her Army and more
conspicuously began a programme of construction of
battleships that also brought her into conflict
with Great Britain. As early as 1905, Germany
considered how ...

Tet Offensive Viet Cong
1,272 words
In the mid to late 1960 's the Vietnam Conflict
was greatly controversial. This is mainly due to
the fact that it was an undeclared war and was
being fought with unclear objectives. It was
fought mainly by Viet Cong guerillas and the NVA
from the North and by the USA and ARVN from the
south. Throughout the conflict it appeared as if
the South was prevailing; up until one climatic
battle that turned out to be a failure militarily;
it is known as the Tet Offensive. The Tet
Offensive started with d...

... Roosevelt supported the British, and the
American military succeeded only (several months
later) in getting an agreement that no more troops
would be put into the Mediterranean area than were
already there, all others being assembled in
England for a cross-channel attack in 1944.
Roosevelt gave his military another shock when he
announced that nothing short of unconditional
surrender would be accepted from any of the Axis
powers. The policy was meant to reassure the
Russians, who would have ...

Normandy began on June 6, 1944. The bulk of

38 Th Parallel Korean Peninsula

Many events make up the entirety of a conflict
between opposing forces. More specifically, there
can be many different parts to a war. There is not
necessarily only one struggle in a war. In the
Korean Conflict, the war can be separated into
three distinct and equally important stages, each
with their own purpose: the North s offensive, the
South s offensive, and the stalemate. Examining
these three stages will clearly define the
objectives of the war. The offensive attack that
