If one person can be faulted for the US loss at Kasserine Pass (and he was – he was relieved of command and sent back to the US after this battle) it was MG Fredendall. So far we have seen his vague and peculiar orders, lack of situational awareness of the battlefield, and his penchant for bypassing the chain of command. We can also add to this list his single-mined approach with other officers, both peers and subordinates. He also had a bad practice of disregarding the opinions of subordinates (particularly MG Ward’s), and discounting recommendations by those that had a better appreciation of the terrain or situation. Many subordinate officers in 1st AD identified the flaws in the CCA defense, yet there was an inability by these officers to affect the

Why did Britain switch to a Southern military strategy? Why did that strategy ultimately fail?

The Dieppe Raid was a failure! The raid was a failure because even though it taught troops many lessons to help them with future raids and battles, it failed and many soldiers lost their lives for nothing but defeat. The Dieppe Raid involved troops making mistakes that could have been prevented, although Canada learned from her mistakes and the learning helped with future battles, Canada didn’t win the raid nor did Canada complete their mission.

After World World I, Italy was in a chaotic state of cultural, political, and economic change. The outcome of the Treaty of Versailles left the Italian people with many problems, which cause even more turmoil. An Italian born military leader named Benito Mussolini felt he needed to do something for his country, so in the year 1919 he introduced Fascism. Webster's dictionary defines fascism as “a political movement, or regime that stands for a centralized autocratic government lead by a dictatorial leader” (Webster,2017). While some people believe Mussolini’s “Fascist Movement” to be deficient”, I believe that through Mussolini’s rise to power and creation of the Fascist regime helped strengthen his desire to unify the Italian population.

This battle was a somewhat important battle for the ANZAC’s because they showed a lot of sprit and rigger in the trenches at Krithia. It showed how after the British called for ANZAC support they responded quickly and their attack and defence methods weren’t all that great but they tried hard to hold their line as well as advance and take over Turkish trenches. This battle wasn’t meant to be fought by ANZAC troops but the British and French armies couldn’t tackle this massive task alone. The ANZAC’s brought fire power, strength in numbers and support to the allied side.

World War I, 1914-1918, was the 'Great War ', the 'war to finish all wars '. in this conflict, the foremost necessary piece of ground was the 'Western Front ' in France and European nation wherever nice battles were fought with names that were once unit words in Australia — Fromelles, the Somme, Bullecourt, Messines, Passchendaele and Villars–Bretonneux.

General Clinton’s inaction after General Washington’s force departure guaranteed the historical unfolding of the Siege of Yorktown. The largest contributor to this British disaster lay in the lacking of an analytical apparatus, which could have effectively processed and utilized British intelligence. General Clinton chose to focus more on salvation in the form of reinforcements from Britain than on the immediate steps he could implement in his intelligence war fighting function to cement victory. This overreliance on an ineffective logistical support chain, combined with poor strategy, toxic leadership, and indecisiveness, resulted in an overly defensive positon. This ineptitude set the stage for the loss of British populace support, costing him the war of attrition.

Stokesbury explains part of the reason why the war dragged on so long was due to a ubiquitous “one more time” theory which depicts a peculiar approach for victory. Perhaps more peculiar than the theory is that each consecutive attempt fails in the similar manner as the previous attempt. After many years of “splendid isolationism,” Britain was under threat of losing their dominance and needed to conceive a plan that would ensure the status quo. For geopolitical reasons Britain formed an alliance with Japan, and for pragmatic purposes Britain joined the triple entente. Before and during the war, Stokesbury unveils Britain’s clandestine policies and lengths at which Britain went to protects it pecuniary interests, particularly when it comes to

The Schlieffen Plan, of the The First World War was an operational plan designed by the German army to wage a successful two front war against France on the west, and Russia on the East. Arguably this is one the most known battle plan throughout history as it played an enormous role in the outbreak of war in 1914. One of the reasons why the plan was devised was because of rapid rise of tension and instability in Europe, and with the formation of the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entete, things only become worse. The plan eventually came into development as the German Military began to fear a possible combined attack from Russia, France and Britain which would obviously lead to the defeat of the German forces. Therefore, as a counter to the
