What advantages helped the Americans win the Revolutionary War?

They fought for a cause they believed in, with a strong desire to be free. They got help from European nations. They knew the land better and did not have to travel 3000 miles back and forth for the supplies that they needed. ANSWER Another advantage was the difference in fighting strategies that the Americans used. England was still stuck in the old tradition of large armies moving in straight lines forward towards the enemy, which in Europe was usually another large army in straight lines, but in America was a small mobile army hiding behind stone walls and in gullies firing into England's straight lines. American troops would hit and run, ambush and retreat, and generally wreak havoc on a large slow moving British Army.

Beginning of Star Wars when C3PO and R2D2 fled in an escape pod - why didn't the imperial battle cruiser sentries fire upon their craft?

As soon as I saw this question I just had to answer it... The sentries didn't fire upon their craft because when they scanned it, they found there to be no human life aboard, and R2-D2 and C3PO aren't humans, they're droids. They didn't scan for droids; I don't think they could have.

What is the Effect of gangsterism in youth?

the effect is that the murder - ous tendencies in they mind can't be controlled. they overthrow those on top of them with the most extreme violence possible in necessary situations. real street hogs are at surface very friendly and somewhat charming this is because of they're powerful hold on others lives. when they're hate is activated they become what can be described as extremely hostile but not without a sense of complete control over their own mind states and everything happening around them. with this mentality comes belief's such as death before dishonor and bomb first. these are installed in the youth's mind and can only be installed if this particular road is taken by the mind. homicide is their lulu-by, they hang in packs and all individually pursue this idealism in order to survive all conflict possible in the world. also if they do not 'put in work' they will most likely be beaten by their own crew. they are considered boss players, they gratitude themselves by the downfall of others which isn't and hard for adolescents to perfect due to their quick reactions and in this case very susceptible mind state to interestingly enough, revolutionary aspects. any adolescent thug/gangster (both relatively the same meaning in actuality) that isn't doing this will eventually end up being murdered when in street conflict with these individuals described which is almost always over the issue of money.

What are 3 key aspects of communism?

If one is referring to Classical Communism. (The original branch of Communism founded by Karl Marx and Frederich Engels) Then some of the main points worth knowing about Communism are:

  • An armed revolution must occur.
  • Abolishment of private property
  • Financial and political equality for all communists
  • Any and all political decisions are made by all communists members.
  • The "leader" is just a figure head, holding no legitimate power.

I hope this helped you become less ignorant (def: lack of knowledge) about the political ideology that is Karl Marx's Communism. Remember though, this is Classical Communism. These do not apply to Leninism, Stalinism, Trotskyism, Maoism, or the Little Brother Communist States (ie, Cuba and Vietnam).
