What was the date of the battle of Valley Forge?
there was no battle in Valley Forge. While the British were in Philadelphia the continental army was in Valley Forge for the winter. It was very cold and lots of them did not have clothes or shoes. the British did not attack so the American just tried to stay alive :::::::::::::::::::::::::Additional Information being added :::::::: Response from : Shane J. Filomena: What was to be the last major engagement of 1777 at the Battle of White Marsh : Washington's Militia , little more then a Rebel Force at the time was retreated for the Winter to Valley Creek ( Valley Forge ) : 18 NorthWest of Philadelphia . The Biggest "Battle" of Valley Forge was the Soldiers Vs. Starvation, Disease ,Desertion and Death. The Conway Cabal : a movement to remove George Washington from his post existed at this time : However, by April of 1778 with the reposting of several key persons in Government, supplies ( General Nathanael Greene, Head of The Commissary Department ) and training ( Done under the direction of a Mercenary, Baron von Steuben ) began to transform the militia to an Army Force. Once France joined the Americans in May of 1778, their assistance led to better weapons and funding. The Real Battle of Valley Forge was one of perseverance and Determination.
How can the invasions east and west of pointe du hoc be contrasted?
West of Pointe du Hoc there was only Utah Beach, one of the American beaches. Unlike Omaha Beach, the other American beach and the first one immediately to the east of Pointe du Hoc, at Utah Beach the terrain behind the beach was flat, and was actually a flooded marsh. The most significant problem faced by the troops of the US 4th Infantry Division who landed at Utah Beach was capturing the causeways, raised structures like long bridges above the flooded marsh. These were long and straight and with Germans at the inland end of them, able to fire down the length of the causeways at any troops trying to advance. They were aided in this by paratroopers who had been dropped in the hours before the sea borne forces landed with the purpose of capturing the inland exits from these causeways. There were few defenses on Utah Beach, the German plan having been to cover that area with the guns of the battery at Pointe du Hoc, which had not yet been emplaced. What few defenses there were the landing force actually missed, because they landed at the wrong place, about a mile from the intended landing spot, which turned out to be very fortunate. On Omaha Beach, east of Pointe du Hoc, there was a high bluff just back of the beach, honeycombed with pillboxes and machine gun emplacements, strung with barbed wire, and extensive mine fields. Numerous field artillery pieces could be brought to bear on the landing force, and were. Extremely heavy casualties were suffered before the landing force was able to fight its way off the beach, up the bluff, and clean out the pillboxes, gun emplacements, and bunkers. Further east were the two British and one Canadian beaches. The Canadians did have a serious fight to secure their beach. But on those three beaches the terrain had again leveled out to flat coastal plain, so the invaders were not faced with defenders entrenched in heavy fortifications on high ground, as was encountered at Omaha Beach.
The battle of Adyar River?
The Adyar River rises in the Chembarabakkam Tank and runs for 20 kilometres before entering the city limits. It then runs for about five kilometres through the city before its estuary opens out into the sea. The Brodle Castle... ONCE IT was the southern boundary of Madras and it's that marker till 1946, the Adyar River, and it's northern bank that I propose to travel past today. The Adyar River rises in the Chembarabakkam Tank and runs 20 kilometres before entering city limits. It then runs about five kilometres in the city before its estuary opens out to the sea. Once, this estuary stretched from close to what is now Foreshore Estate to the southern bank abutting the Theosophical Society's gardens. In what was essentially a salty lagoon, there were several islands, at least four in a map of 1798, the largest of them called Quibble Island. When and how these islands merged with the north bank I've not discovered, but it certainly happened before the late 19th Century. It was some time shortly after that, that the Quibble Island Cemetery came into existence, today, in a nice display of ecumenalism, shared by both Roman Catholics and Protestants of all denominations. The change from island to peninsula also created the backwaters that lie north of Quibble Island — as the area is still known. It is these backwaters that are called Adyar Creek, distinct from the Adyar River and its broad estuary with narrow mouth perpetually silted due to the sand bank created by the currents ever since the Harbour's groynes were built. The Adyar Estuary, with its remaining islands and mangrove stands on the southern bank, is an area that offers river, marsh, woods, backwaters, islets, sea and open ground which have at times hosted over 150 species of birds as well as small wildlife, including jackals, foxes, wild cats, snakes and other reptiles. Few places in a city anywhere offered better bird watching for the enthusiast. Over seventy migratory species from the far north of Asia used to turn up annually from August onwards and during the summer, it has been a nesting ground for at least 50 Indian breeding species. No wonder, there was once a huge sign with a map on it, at the northern end of the bridges that crossed the river, proclaiming the Forest Department's intention to have the area declared a sanctuary. For one reason or another, the sign suddenly disappeared one day, around six or seven years ago, and another sign at the Adyar Creek end was content to proclaim the area a Reserve Forest. Much public interest litigation has gone on for the last five years, over the status of the area and the development taking place in it, but it would seem the conservationists have lost the battle and it is only a matter of time before the fauna in the estuary will vanish forever and the flora stifled. But while they still remain, even in diminished numbers, the wild life brigade hopes that an official commitment by authority, to declare what is left as a sanctuary, will be kept. The conservationists also hope that bird watching can be given a fillip by re-developing the old Elphinstone Bridge of 1840. That bridge, now blocked at both ends by a jungle of hoarding supports and its main stretch overgrown with wild vegetation nourished by the public latrine it is used as, is what the optimists hope can be developed into a beautiful promenade with small parks at both ends, seating arrangements and facilities for bird watching. Dreaming is still free, isn't it? May be, if we ever get the promenade, there might even be a plaque in one of the parks recalling a historic battle that in many ways was the prelude to Empire. The `Battle of the Adyar River' fought in October 1746 in the shallows of Quibble Island, between a few hundred French-led Indian s(i)pahis with cannon and thousands of indisciplined forces of the Nawab of Arcot rallying to the support of the British ousted from Fort St. George, ended in the rout of the latter. It also demonstrated what the disciplined firepower of a few could do against unorganised thousands. It was a lesson the British were to learn well and led to their formation of the regiments that were to prove the nucleus of the Indian Army. The area on the north bank of today where the Nawab's forces milled around aimlessly, between San Thome Fort and the river, was where several garden houses of the British were to be built between the 1790s and the 1890s. It is in the acres of garden that each of these houses had, that there has come up the unplanned development of today. The oldest house in this `hinterland' was Moubray's Gardens, now home of the Madras Club. Next, there rose Brodie Castle, now Thenral, the college of Carnatic Music. These were the western and eastern ends. What was built as the San Thome Redoubt for the Mylapore Garrison by the British in 1751, two years after taking possession of Mylapore-San Thome, was in time redeveloped at the northern end as Leith Castle after it had survived as Parry Castle till 1837. Thomas Parry, who had founded Parry & Co, today the second oldest surviving business house in India, established here in 1805 the first industrial factory on record in the city. It manufactured and even exported boots and leather equipment for the armies of several countries! Later homes by the eastern sea were Somerford, now part of the Chettinad Palace campus, and neighbouring Underwood Gardens, where the Regional Manager of the State Bank of India lives. At the western end, near Moubray's Gardens, were Pugh's Gardens, where the Sathya Sai Baba Shrine has come up, and The Grange, now called Kanchi and from where the Government's management training institute functions. Between houses by the sea and the garden houses in the west was developed Bishop's Gardens, renamed Vasantha Vihar and now the headquarters of the Krishnamurthy Foundation, and several others, like Yerlyte, Bridge House, Riverside, Hovingham, Greenways, Cherwell and Ardmayle Gardens, all razed in post-Independence years and their space used for ministers, judges and officials. All this north bank development since then has left only the Estuary and Creek area comparatively open space. Now even that is fast vanishing. And so the spaciousness of a city dies. Who will weep?
Why was the Holocaust allowed to happen and would it be allowed to happen in modern day society?
Answering that would take a Master's thesis, but the short version:The world of 1939 was far more anti-Semitic and uncaring about the plight of victims of brutality, particularly anti-Semitic brutality than it is now. Even powerful media organizations like Time magazine and the Oxford English Dictionary cheerfully printed anti-Semitic information. Time sneered in the 1930s that Albert Einstein "like many Jews, does not exercise." The OED used the word "Jew" as a verb, meaning "to cheat someone." When the Nazis began their anti-Semitic outbursts, many people in the civilized world did not take them seriously...Hitler's ravings were just more political claptrap, and after a few heads were broken, there would be no more rowdyism. Many other people either publicly or privately applauded the anti-Semitic acts.Jews were often seen as being either money-grubbing capitalists -- the classic caftaned pawnbroker, squeezing a penny -- or as underhanded and conniving Bolsheviks -- the equally classic long-bearded radical, bomb in hand. The upper Christian crust disliked Jews as socialists and Christ-killers. Joseph Kennedy, the pro-Nazi US Ambassador to England, told Ribbentrop that his pals in Boston admired what the Nazis were doing to the Jews, as there were many clubs that had banned Jews for 50 years. He just wished the Nazis would do it more quietly. Lindbergh blamed World War II on the Jews more directly. In fact, opinion polls in America at the time blamed the Jews for the war.Anti-Semitism was a standard staple. Colleges and businesses had quotas on admissions and hirings, and glass ceilings. Hotels advertised, "No Hebrews or consumptives taken," or "Guests taken to church free of charge." Housing developments had "restrictive covenants." So when Hitler and his cronies began beating up Jews and killing them, many people across the globe reacted by saying, "Good on you, mate. About time, too."Would it be allowed to happen today? It's going on right now...Bosnia, Rwanda, the Sudan. There is always money and time for hate.____I don't think it had much to do with the world being more 'uncaring' in the 1930s and 1940s than now. Once the Holocaust proper (the systematic mass murders) had started in 1941, there was the severely practical problem of how the Holocaust could realistically have been stopped by the Allies ... There was no point in the Allies barking out orders to the German government.
Why did the United States go to war against Iraq in 2003?
The US attacked Iraq in 2003 based on either misformation or disinformation, and the stated reasons have changed over time.The Initial Justification : Weapons of Mass DestructionThe primary reason given by the administration of George W. Bush was that Saddam Hussein, the leader of Iraq, was engaged in the production or acquisition of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). These are nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons (examples are the anthrax letter attacks in the US and the Sarin gas attacks in Tokyo--neither of which had any connection to Iraq). It was suggested that Hussein might provide these weapons to terrorists to attack the US. He had already used chemical weapons sold to him by the US against Iran, and also against Iraqi Kurds. Before the war UN inspectors announced they had found no evidence of WMDs, despite unfettered access. After the war was under way, additional investigation concluded Saddam did not have WMDs.The war continued, however, because the occupation forces of the US were attacked by Iraqi guerrillas, many ironically supported by Iran, Iraq's enemy in the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988). The US supported a new democratic government within Iraq, which was opposed by various Islamic groups that traditionally held power in the country. Other factions sought to aggrandize their share of the power to be had in the new political system.It was suggested early on the conflict was predominantly an attempt by the US to control the flow of oil from Iraq, one of the largest petroleum producers in the Middle East.Secondary Justification: Fostering a Democracy in IraqInitially when the US commenced Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003, it was a war against the regime in Iraq; to remove Saddam from power, as the US had failed to do in 1991. The goal of the 1991 operation was to drive Saddam from Kuwait, at which the US and its allies succeeded. When no WMDs were found, the US asserted that its mission in Iraq was two-fold: to create a modern democracy and to stop the persistent genocides that took place in that country. The US enfranchised the Shiite Majority, provided for Kurdish autonomy in the North, and assembled a Constitution for the entire Iraqi population. This is in stark contrast to Saddam Hussein who used chemical weapons on his own population and was responsible for committing genocide against the Shiite Arabs, Marsh Arabs, Kurds, Jews, Azeri, Assyrians, Yazidi, Bahai'i, and Chaldeans among others.
