Section 1 - "An Analysis of the Battle of Goose Green"

The history of past battles is often studied and analyzed for a variety of reasons. However, in most cases, it is failures rather than the successes that are being analyzed whenever military history is studied. Close affairs are quite common in a majority of battles; either side could have been victorious. In many of these battles, it is not the things done right by the winner that decide the final result, but the things done wrong by the ruler. The Battle of Goose Green between Great Britain and Argentina during the Falklands War was one such battle. Even though the Argentineans ...

It is well understood that communication is the process of passing a message from one person to another, therefore there are always different means of communication and also different levels of communication.

From time way back during the ancient times until roman empires and up to the cold war period, the adoption of communication by the military has proven to be the victory facilitator. The most proven difficult task during war is that of communicating with the allies and having ...

Most had expected the attack on Pearl Harbor to lead directly to a treaty granting Japan rule over much of the Pacific (Johnson, 2006, p. 120-126). Even realists within the Japanese cabinet, like Yamamoto, the mastermind behind Pearl Harbor, who accepted the industrial ...

The story of Samuel, the thirteenth judge in ancient Israel, overlaps with that of some of ancient Israel’s most famous and first kings: Saul, David and Solomon. The reason is that Samuel was the last of the judges-rulers who governed ancient Israel before the era of the Kings began. Some of the Bible’s most popular narratives revolve around him: including that of Eli and his own mother Hannah. Samuel’s father, Elkanah, had two wives: Hannah and Peninnah. Hannah was childless and apparently incapable of bearing, whilst Peninnah had children. Elkanah used to go to offer sacrifices ...

Civil War history often exists in terms of the white Northern soldiers and white Southern soldiers, fighting with each other. The African Americans are shown waiting on either side to awaiting their fate.

Morte Darthur has to face the challenge of trusting his Knights enough as well as handling the issue of hereditary kinship. This is an environment where a king lives in a polygamous family yet has to choose an appropriate person to inherit the kingdom after ...

It is conventional knowledge and understanding that history is made by men and women who take up roles or responsibilities which tend to define the state of affairs at their time. More often than not, such decisions are made at critical times such as during times of war or catastrophes. Such acts are hailed and recorded in history. One of such individuals who made history in the past is Marie Anjou, a noble woman who lived in the 1404 and 1463 (Kinoshita and Mac Cracken 25). Though she was a queen for a long period running from 1422 to 1461, her major ...

Quarrel between Achilles and Agamemnon

The squabble between Achilles and king Agamemnon is of great significance as it marked the beginning of a new chapter in the Trojan War. Prior to the argument, the Greeks and the Trojans had been in war for around ten years (Pope, 7). After the argument, the war lasted less than a year. This argument precipitated events that played a major role in the changing the focus and reason for the war. Its significance is attested by the fact that even though the true cause of the greater war is not clearly highlighted by Homer, but the poet attributes the end of ...

Persistent disagreement over the Civil War - its causes, consequences and implications - is a testament to the strength of feeling that still remains over what many agree is the central event in American history. When historians argue, more than 150 years later, over the circumstances that brought America to the brink of dissolution, it is a sure sign that it is still a contentious subject, the roots of which are still with us. The debate over federalism vs. states’ rights, for example, is still very much alive, though it takes forms that are different from those that animated political debate in ...

Christianity was not a popular religion than it is today. In fact, historians and theology scholars debate regarding the true nature of the Christian religion. Originally, they concluded it as a sect of Judaism1 since Jesus Christ was born a Jew. As a religious leader, He was charismatic, performed many miracles, and defended the poor as well as the oppressed. Through cultural diffusion2, the new religion gained a small but loyal group of followers such as the twelve apostles who would eventually travel the Roman Empire to preach His teachings and spread the awareness of the public to the Christian religion. History proves that ...

Every world nation has the periods of history marked by economic instability and internal conflicts. Civil wars leave countries deeply wounded after a conflict comes to its conclusion and a period of economic and political restoration is required to bring the country back to normal. Sometimes it takes decades for a country to re-establish its economic potential. Medieval Japan is no exception to this historical rule. Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu were the three outstanding military commanders who contributed to the unification of Japan after a hundred-year war. While all three generals had superior leadership skills both on the battlefield and ...

Honor and glory were central themes in the Iliad, this was displayed by how the readers are to perceive the heroes in the story. Heroic warriors were the ones who were brave, fought well and defended their name. Whatever it was they were fighting for, they had their own cause which they would demonstrate through their actions, speech and loyalty (Kraft, Kayan and Luce 163). These things were not given freely as seen in the Iliad, honor and glory were gained through years of fighting and experience. Battles, conquering lands and even the ownership of women were opportunities for ...

Foot Soldiers vs., Commanding Officers

As common with every war, there was a divided point of view among various stakeholders of the World War I. One of the most conspicuous divisions of this of point of view was between the foot soldiers of this war and their commanding officers.
When the war first broke out, a sense of nationalism swept through Europe and a lot of individuals dutifully volunteered. Many of these volunteers thought the war would be an enthralling adventure that they could not afford to miss. Some even lied about their ages to be allowed to enlist.

According to Emmet Price, dancing, in the early years of Hip Hop, was the “‘essence of early Hip Hop culture’” (qtd in Gorney 1). However, over the years, dancing in the Hip Hop culture gradually lost its significance as it became “cultural fad” and was replaced with a “take away product of hip hop,” which is the CD (Gorney 2). In recent years, hip hop dance has enjoyed a “huge resurgence” (Gorney 2). This resurgence of cultural expression has manifested itself in multiple “forms” (Gorney 2). However, it is this form of cultural expression is in danger of being “ ...

Florida then moved to prepare its defences, by passing legislature that agreed to appropriate $100,000 for ammunition and arms purchases, and raised one cavalry regiment and two infantry regiments, in February 1861. Governor Perry then managed to seize Fort Marion at St. Augustine and Chattahoochee’s federal arsenal, but not the more strategic Forts Taylor, Pickens, and Jefferson. Especially Pickens was of particular interest to both the South and the North and the military confrontation there brought dark clouds of civil war-threat; however, Fort Pickens remained in the Union’s hands from beginning to end of the war.

Counterfactual History: What Ifs of the Gallipoli Campaign

Introduction
Although counterfactual history is concerned with what didn’t happen, it acts as a manifestation of what did. Without a doubt, counterfactual history challenges the traditional academic ways of thinking with regards to risk management in the historical analysis. It explicitly inflates the range of plausible explanations by focusing on the number of possible outcomes. In doing so, there is a threat that a multiplicity of chaotic perspectives, each facilitated by chance and contingency might open up. In the case of the Gallipoli Campaign, the following questions may be asked if the Ottomans did not win at Gallipoli:

Would the Republic of Turkey still have been established?

Would the Russian ...

The Gilgamesh is a Sumerian poem that is regarded the first poem to be written in the world. The content of the Gilgamesh revolves around the use of archetypal symbols, through which gods are presented as omniscient and omnipotent.
