Why did the battle of the Kennesaw mountains happen?

The long, slow Confederate retreat towards Atlanta was making Sherman impatient. He decided to wrong-foot the enemy, who assumed he would keep to his flanking tactics, and he put on a big frontal assault. It failed, and technically this was a Union defeat. But part of the Union army was now closer to Atlanta than before, and Johnston soon had to retreat again - causing the Confederate president to sack him in favour of Hood, a disastrous decision for the South.


What is a cease fire?

A cease fire is when two oposing armies agree to stop fighting temporarily. This can be an agreement between 2 large armies or 2 small groups on the battlefield. The terms of the cease-fire has to be agreed to on the spot so this is a risky time as either side could accidently start fighting again. This is not the same as a Truce. Sometimes a battle or a war wears down both sides and they call a cease-fire in order to discuss a truce or negotiate for a surrender. The most common application was a cease-fire to attend the wounded and remove the dead.


What did Robert shaw sing in jaws?

The song is "Spanish Ladies" and the author's name is lost to history... "Farewell and adieu to you Spanish Ladies Farewell and adieu to you Ladies of Spain, For we've received orders to sail for old England, And we hope in a short while to see thee again." This is an old sea shanty, or capstan song which was modified a bit to be "Boston Ladies" for the film "Jaws" as sung by Robert Shaw as Quint.


Why did the battle happen?

The Greek cities planned to first destroy the Persian fleet to eliminate its amphibious threat to their individual cities. This would then allow them to concentrate their armies to defeat the Persian army, rather than keeping them defensively at home. The therefore blocked the pass at Thermopylai with a small fore to compel the Persian navy to attempt to turn the position by sea. The Greek fleet lay in wait at the nearby strait at Artemesion to emgage the Persian fleet. Unfortunately for the Greeks they lost and withdrew the force blocking the pass as it now had no further purpose. The Greek fleet then tried again at Salamis and won. Their armies combined the following spring to defeat the Persian army at Plataia.
