Why the small Mexican untied army was able to win the battle against a large army

1 answer:

4 0

Battle of Puebla took place on the 5th of February 1862 between Mexico and the invading French forces.

The French General Lorencez actually believed that the local population of Puebla was against the Mexican government and if the French showed up with a powerful army, they would be able to receive support from the people of Puebla.

The French, though technologically superior, quickly run out of ammunition and could not garner any support among the locals.

The French were able to regroup in the coming months and launch a successful second invasion, but this battle has remained a national holiday and a day of pride for Mexicans.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

JOHN PYNCHON commenced his mercantile career in trade with the Indians of the upper Connecticut Valley in 1652, a traffic that dominated the economic life of western Massachusetts for almost half a century after the first English settlement. He received all of his training from his father, William Pynchon, a founder of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, who made the fur trade his principal enterprise from 1636 to 1652, when he returned to England, where he spent the restof his life. The fur trade reached its height in the late fifties, and though it then declined, the son’s efforts to sustain it continued for more than a decade. The commerce of New Englanders in beaver and other peltry was of prime importance to the colonial economy, and until 1676 the Connecticut Valley was one of the few important fur-trading regions.
