20 Battles of the American Revolution

The American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) was a long and bitter conflict fought between Great Britain and its rebellious thirteen colonies, which were struggling for independence as a new nation, the United States of America. The Americans ultimately prevailed, but only after eight years of warfare, approximately 250 battles and skirmishes, and 25,000-70,000 wartime dead.

This collection examines 20 of the most significant battles of the American Revolution. From the 'shot heard round the world' on Lexington Green to the bloodbath on Breed's (Bunker) Hill; from the Continental Army's 'darkest hour' after Long Island to Washington's resilient successes at Trenton and Princeton; from the turning point at Saratoga to Nathanael Greene's 'war of posts' in the South and, finally, to the ultimate American victory at Yorktown. These battles should not only be of interest to students of military history but also to those who wish to understand the origins of the United States. How did an army of untrained, undisciplined provincials defeat one of the greatest militaries in the world? What were the strategies used by Washington, Greene, and other revolutionary and British generals? What part did the French alliance play in the conflict, or Britain's German auxiliary troops? These questions, and more, can be answered in the articles below, which will hopefully give the reader a better picture of the long and painful birth of the United States.

An Ethiopian resistance fighter photographed in 1941. Patriotic resistance persisted throughout the occupation despite Ethiopia's military collapse in 1935–1936 after the Second Italo-Ethiopian war. From the beginning, many patriotic Ethiopians were committed to carrying on the fight, despite the military might of the occupying Italians. The struggle continued for another three years until most of Ethiopia was "pacified" just before the outbreak of the Second World War. However, the Arbegnoch (Ethiopian guerrillas) were still in control of nearly a quarter of the Ethiopian highlands through late 1939. By the eve of World War II, they were still in control of Harar and the Galla-Sidamo Governorate and remained active in Italian East Africa from 1936 until 1941. In 1941, during World War II, Ethiopia was occupied by Allied forces, mainly from the British Empire, in the East African Campaign, but an Italian guerrilla war continued until 1943. The country was placed under British military administration; Emperor Haile Selassie was allowed to return and claim his throne, but the British authorities ruled the country until December 1944, when full sovereignty was restored with the signing of an Anglo-Ethiopian Agreement, although some regions remained under British control for more years. #secondworldwar #ww2 #worldwartwo #worldwar2 #war #history #militaryhistory #military #colourised #colorized #colourisedhistory #colorizedhistory #color #colour #colorizedhistoricalphotos #colorization #colourisation #retro #goodolddays #classic #goldenoldies #colorizedphoto #colourisedphoto #ethiopia #resistance #africa https://www.instagram.com/p/CmFLNzXKNxf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This drawing is a piece from a previous Inktober challenge, for the daily prompt "helmet". I had no profound idea for this prompt so I made it sort of statement for peace - after the old saying: "Imagine there's war, and nobody shows up". Besides, mice are cute.

15 Military Leaders of the American Revolution

The American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) was intially a rebellion carried out by the Thirteen Colonies of British America against Great Britain, sparked by the issue of taxation without representation. It soon blossomed into a War of Independence, resulting in the birth of the United States of America. The outcome of the war was largely influenced by the generals who conducted it.

This collection looks at the lives and times of 15 military leaders of the American Revolution, including figures from the American, French, and British armies. It is by no means a comprehensive list, but contains many of the most significant figures of the conflict, detailing their campaigns and battles, victories and defeats, rises and downfalls. Of these 15 officers and generals, some perservered through the sheer forcefulness of their personalities, overcoming all obstacles to achieve victory and acclaim. Others had their reputations and careers destroyed by their roles in the war, and spent the rest of their lives trying to shift the blame to others. Some of these men ended up as presidents or great statesmen, while others ended up destitute and forgotten. All of them played significant roles in the birth of the United States, and any student of the American Revolution should become acquainted with them in order to have a better understanding of the topic.

The first Medal of Honor award classified "Top Secret." Hiroshi "Hershey" H. Miyamura #KoreanWar Miyamura enlisted in the Army and entered active duty at age 19 in January 1945. As a Japanese-American from New Mexico, he volunteered for and was assigned to Company D, 100th Battalion, 442d Infantry Regimental Combat team in #WWII. He was recalled to active duty in the Korean War, and was assigned to Company H, 7th Infantry, 3d Infantry Division. On the evening of 24-25 April 1951, near Taejon-ni, Korea, Company H occupied a defensive position when it was attacked by a numerically superior force of the (Chinese) People's Volunteer Army, better known to U.S. and United Nations troops as Chinese Communist Forces. With his unit in danger of being overrun and their casualties mounting, Cpl. Miyamura, then a machine gun squad leader, left his position to engage a number of the attackers with the bayonet, and killed approximately ten of them in hand-to-hand combat. He repeatedly ordered his men to withdraw as he covered them with rifle fire and damaged the machine gun so the enemy could not use it. He continued firing the machine gun, and although severely wounded in the process, continued to fire and killed about fifty Chinese troops before he ran out of ammunition. Despite the painful injury, he continued to ferociously resist against very uneven odds until he was finally overcome and captured. Miyamura spent 28 months as a prisoner of war. Meanwhile, in recognition of his extraordinary heroism in the battle, the recommendation for the Medal of Honor made its way through the military channels of evaluation and consideration. Because he was a POW, and recognizing the potential propaganda coup the Communists could exploit, the documents were classified "Top Secret," a first in the history of the Medal of Honor. In October of 1953 after the ended and he returned home, President Dwight D. Eisenhower presented now Staff Sergeant Hiroshi "Hershey" H. Miyamura the Medal of Honor in a ceremony at the White House. He died on 29 November 2022, age 97. #armyhistory #MOH #USArmy #TRADOC #MilitaryHistory Posted @withregram • @armyhistory (at Middle Tennessee Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnznL7vu4yQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
