The American Revolution
The American Revolution was a war between the 13 American colonies and Great Britain from 1775-1783 that resulted in American independence. The war was caused by high taxes imposed on the colonies, lack of colonial representation in Parliament, and restrictions on westward expansion. Key events included the Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, and Intolerable Acts, leading the colonies to formally declare independence in 1776. With support from France and Spain, and victories like the Battle of Trenton, the colonists were eventually able to defeat the British forces, leading to recognition of the United States as an independent nation in the 1783 Treaty of Paris.
Viet Cong
The Viet Cong were the military arm of the National Liberation Front that opposed South Vietnamese and US forces during the Vietnam War. Formed in 1960 with the goal of overthrowing the South Vietnamese government and reunifying Vietnam under communist rule, the Viet Cong used guerrilla warfare tactics like ambushes and hit-and-run attacks. They were able to defeat American forces through their familiarity with jungle warfare, extensive tunnel systems, and motivation to fight for Vietnamese independence against foreign influence.
Vietnam Day 1
This document provides historical background on Vietnam from the 1800s through the early 1960s. It summarizes that Vietnam had been fighting for independence for centuries, including asking the US for help against the French in the 1860s and 1910s. It then covers the US involvement in Vietnam through the presidencies of Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, including the rise of Diem, the French defeat at Dien Bien Phu, and the quiet escalation of US advisors and involvement despite doubts about whether the US could win.
Vietnam War - why not beat viet cong
The Viet Cong were able to effectively engage in guerrilla warfare against US forces due to their intimate knowledge of the Vietnamese terrain and ability to blend in with the local population. They used tunnels, booby traps, and surprise attacks to wear down US troops over time. While the Tet Offensive resulted in heavy losses for the Viet Cong, it demonstrated they could strike even the most fortified US positions and shocked the American public, increasing anti-war sentiment and calls for withdrawal. Combined with a lack of broad international support, these factors made it difficult for the US to achieve victory and ultimately forced their withdrawal from Vietnam.
Power point – lesson 4 – the home front during world war i – the twentieth ce...
The document discusses how people on the American home front helped support World War I efforts by rationing food and supplies, working in factories, and responding to government propaganda. It explains that the U.S. government instituted rationing and used propaganda to encourage conservation and increased industrial production since many supplies and factory workers were needed for the war. Propaganda posters promoted causes like rationing, working harder, and supporting the war effort. With many men overseas fighting, women took on important new roles by working in factories to produce weapons, uniforms, and other supplies.
Chapter 25 – texans at home and abroad
The document summarizes Texas' involvement in several early 20th century world events. During the Spanish-American War in 1898, over 10,000 Texans fought including Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders regiment. The war increased Texas' role in global affairs. The Mexican Revolution from 1910-1920 caused refugees to flee to Texas and conflicts with local authorities. When the U.S. entered World War I in 1917, around 200,000 Texans served while the state's economy boomed supplying needs for the war.
Vietnam War - events during the war
Five US Presidents were involved in the Vietnam War from 1955 to 1975 - Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford. Eisenhower first sent military advisors to help train South Vietnam's army. Kennedy escalated US involvement by sending more troops as advisors. Johnson further increased troop levels after the Gulf of Tonkin incident and launched bombing campaigns of North Vietnam. Nixon pursued a policy of "Vietnamization" to gradually withdraw US troops by strengthening South Vietnam's forces. Ultimately, the US was unable to defeat North Vietnam and withdrew from the country in 1975.
Chapter 27.1 world war ii
World War II began in 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. The US joined the war in 1941 after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. Texas contributed greatly to the war effort through training soldiers at military bases, producing goods for the war, and Texans enlisting to fight. Key Allied leaders like Eisenhower and Nimitz led the forces. Germany surrendered in 1945, but the war continued in the Pacific until the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading Japan to surrender and end World War II.

Hw#7 rev
The American Revolutionary War was won through a combination of strategic military victories by American forces and support from European allies like France. Key battles like Trenton, Saratoga, and Yorktown weakened the British military position. Meanwhile, the Americans utilized local knowledge and guerilla tactics to offset the strengths of the British army. The entry of France into the war after the American victory at Saratoga turned the tide in favor of the colonists and ultimately led to British recognition of American independence in the 1783 Treaty of Paris.
WWI Homefront
During WWI, the U.S. government took extensive measures to mobilize resources and manage the economy and home front for the war effort. This included raising over $20 billion through Liberty Bond campaigns, switching industry production to war materials under the War Industries Board, implementing food rationing through the U.S. Food Administration, and censoring publications and restricting civil liberties under the Espionage and Sedition Acts to enforce loyalty. The war also had widespread social impacts like the Great Migration of African Americans to northern cities and race riots in 1919.

Vietnam War - changing us views
Many Americans originally supported the Vietnam War as part of fighting communism, but opposition grew over time for several reasons. Students were among the most vocal opponents, inspired by the anti-war hippie movement. Large protests took place on university campuses and in cities, some turning violent with deaths. Public opinion shifted as images of the harsh realities of war were broadcast on television. Rising costs of the war and the draft also angered many Americans. By 1968, over 14,000 soldiers had died, fueling greater dissent that forced the US to eventually withdraw from Vietnam.

Standard 15
The USA entered WWI in 1917 for several reasons: German unrestricted submarine warfare sank American merchant ships and violated free trade; the Zimmerman Telegram proposed a German alliance with Mexico against the US; and President Wilson hoped to make the world safe for democracy. When the US joined the Allies, it provided troops and supplies that helped tip the balance in their favor. The war had significant impacts on the US such as women entering the workforce, the passage of women's suffrage and prohibition, and the Great Migration of African Americans to northern cities. The Treaty of Versailles after WWI was harsh on Germany and contributed to the start of WWII.
Reasons the usa lost the vietnam war - Strengths of north vietnam
North Vietnam had several strengths that contributed to the USA's defeat in the Vietnam War. Ho Chi Minh was popular with Vietnamese people for leading the successful rebellion against French control. This made people more likely to support rebel groups and not help American forces. Additionally, the North Vietnam Army and Vietcong knew the local terrain and used guerrilla tactics like ambushes. The Tet Offensive in 1968 involved attacks across South Vietnam and shocked American public opinion, even though it severely damaged the Vietcong forces. Overall, North Vietnam's popular support among Vietnamese people and military tactics like guerrilla warfare made it difficult for the US to achieve victory.

The War of 1812 was caused by tensions between the United States and Britain over maritime rights and the impressment of American sailors. Britain and France were engaged in the Napoleonic Wars and interfered with American merchant shipping. While President Madison attempted diplomacy, harassment of American shipping and the kidnapping of sailors led pro-war factions to push for a declaration of war in 1812. The war ended in stalemate by the Treaty of Ghent in 1814, but the Battle of New Orleans solidified American national pride after the war.
Fort wagner
Thousands of African Americans enlisted to fight for the Union in the days following the Emancipation Proclamation. By the end of the war, around 186,000 African American soldiers had answered the call to fight. One of the first all-black units, the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, led an attack on Fort Wagner in Charleston Harbor in 1863, engaging in brutal hand-to-hand combat despite the difficult conditions, and while they failed to take the fort, their heroism improved perceptions of African American soldiers and encouraged more to enlist.
Ch 6 sec 4
The document summarizes key events and figures in the American Revolutionary War that led to British surrender. Patriots attacked British forces led by Patrick Ferguson at Kings Mountain, killing or capturing the entire force. Francis Marion, known as the "Swamp Fox", harassed British General Cornwallis so much that he left South Carolina for Virginia. Cornwallis was eventually surrounded at Yorktown by American and French forces led by Washington, Lafayette, and de Grasse, forcing his surrender on October 19, 1781, which marked a major turning point in the war.
Lesson 5
The document compares the strengths and weaknesses of the American colonists and the British in the American Revolutionary War, noting that while the British military was larger and better equipped, the Americans benefited from fighting on familiar terrain using guerilla warfare tactics, and their alliance with France and Spain helped balance British naval dominance over time.
Reasons the USA lost the vietnam war - USA's international isolation
The document discusses the international isolation of the USA during the Vietnam War and how this contributed to their defeat. It notes that while some countries like South Korea, Australia and New Zealand sent troops, overall support was less than hoped for. America received negative media coverage that opponents used for propaganda, reducing further support. A lack of global support forced the US to provide most money and soldiers, which it could not sustain, unlike North Vietnam which received aid from the USSR and China. European allies like France and the UK declined requests to send troops, despite having Asian colonial experience that could have helped.
