What guns were used in the Battle of Monmouth?

Not an expert here, but I believe the matchlock was in general use at the time of this battle. The wheellock was better but too expensive to equip an army. Only generals, princes, and really rich guys could afford them, and the flintlock was not invented yet. Correction to above: If you are asking about the Battle of Monmouth Courthouse (June 1778) during the American Revolution, the standard infantry weapon was the muzzle-loading flintlock musket with socket bayonet (which had been standard issue since the early 1700's). The British used the Short-land pattern, known as the Brown Bess. Americans tended to use whatever they could get their hands on, to include captured Brown Bess's and French Charleville pattern muskets.

On September 1 1939 what was the name of the military tatic employed by the Nazis and what country was this use in?

It was called the blitz for short. It was used first in the county Poland. It was also used in France. The strategy was they would have planes in front of the ground force that would bomb and weaken the enemy defense. Then the ground force would finish them off. The Nazis could not use this strategy after they took over Poland and France because the U.K had control of the air so they could no longer use that strategy. There was a huge battle for control of the skies. This was called the battle of Britain. This was a 3 day battle that killed thousands of pilots.


What strategy did Washington used to drive the British out of Boston?

George Washington employed a strategy of positioning artillery on high ground, notably at Dorchester Heights, to threaten British forces in Boston. This strategic move, combined with the use of fortifications and a surprise overnight operation, forced the British to reconsider their position. The threat of bombardment from the newly positioned cannons led to the British evacuation of Boston in March 1776. Washington's leadership and the effective use of available resources were crucial in this successful maneuver.
