Best Answer

At the beginning of the U.S. Civil War, both sides were very confident in a quick and easy victory.

I can see why the North would think so: they had a better trained army, better infrastructure (including many more mores of railroad), and superior industry.

Why did southern whites consider using black soldiers in the confederate army?

There were many reasons why the Northerners recruited the American Americans into the Union Army during the U.S. Civil War. These individuals helped to strengthen the troops when others refused to fight for the country. Former slaves were use to working hard and in harsh conditions. This gave the northern troops an advantage over the south that refused to allow these former slaves to serve during battle.


What was the battle that turned the war in favor of the Allies in World War 2?

In the Pacific theater, the Battle of Midway was the turning point. Prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Admiral Yamamoto had told the Imperial High Command that he could promise that the Japanese forces would be victorious for six months, but that after that the American industrial power would turn the tide. That's why they strived for a short war. Six months after Pearl Harbor, the Japanese Navy lost four aircraft carriers at Midway, and were in retreat for the rest of the war. In Europe, the invasions in North Africa were the beginnings of the German collapse, and the invasions of Sicily and Italy were the turning points. After the Normandy invasions, there was no real doubt about the outcome of the war.


What were the short term effects of Russia's entry into World War 1?

The short term effect was that Germany was now forced to confront one of Bismark's worst fears: a two front conflict. Hopes on the Allied side were very high, and Serbia, emboldened by a Russian promise to defend her, rejected Austria-Hungary's ultimatum outright, although previously they had been considering accepting most of the terms. For a short time Russia was finally starting to feel rejuvinated as the flood of patriotism took hold. The people stood behind their Tsar again, and everyone believed that Russia would be victorious. Of course, as history has shown, this was not to keep. Despite early success in East Prussia and against the Austrians, Germany quickly gained the upperhand over inferior Russian leadership and her badly equipped forces.

Why did they name the nickelodeon show victorious?

The reason why, the creator of VICToriOUS (Dan Schneider) named the hit 2010-2013 TV sitcom series, "VICToriOUS" is because 'Tori' is short for Victoria, which is Victoria Justice's real name off-camera.
