Why was the battle of Lexington and concord started?

History
2 answers:
Arturiano [62]3 years ago

British General Gage learned that the colonists had stored supplies and ammunition at Concord, MA, some 20 miles from Boston. On 19 April 1775, he sent 700 of his troops to seize the munitions and, if possible, capture and arrest Samuel Adams and John Hancock. Gage had received information that those two “rebels” were hiding out in Concord. Warning the Americans that the British were marching to Concord were the trio Revere, Dawes, and Prescott, of the famous “Midnight Ride.” When British Major John Pitcairn arrived at Lexington, which was on the way to Concord, he found 70 American minutemen (actually, they were almost all farmers) in battle formation at the town square. Pitcairn ordered the Americans to disperse but when they didn’t move after the second order to do so, someone fired a shot. It is not known if the shot was fired by Americans or British. The British easily cleared Lexington and marched on to Concord. He found more Americans arming the bridge into the town so Pitcairn order the British to return to Boston. All the way back to Boston, the Americans sniped at the British from behind trees and rocks, inflicting serious injury to the British troops. When the Redcoats reached Boston, 250 had been killed or wounded.

A color map of 15th century Italy shows that Italy served as a gateway between Europe and the Ottoman Empire. Points of interest
galben [10]

The title of the map would be: "The states that made up the Italian Nation in the fifteenth century"

One of the distinctive features of the political organization in Italy was the importance of the city-states and in particular of the republics, which in the fifteenth century some had lost their independence, but not the Renaissance cities such as Florence and Venice. At the beginning of the fifteenth century the Italian territory was very fragmented in states of varying size and importance. The decline of the cities had led to a process of institutional strengthening, concluded with the establishment of signorie (the equivalent of the Iberian lordships), together with the oligarchic republics, founded previously.

Why do you think the Turkish government has devoted resources to preserving Christian artifacts in the Hagia Sophia even though
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Because the Turks see the Hagia Sophia as an important artifact. Also, a tradition from the Ottoman times states that Islam is the fulfiller of Judaism and Christianity, and they are all Abrahamic and that no division should take place between the three. So, the Turkish government has taken this duty into their hands and are now preserving the Hagia Sophia for the younger generations of the world to see how the Turkish government and holy Muslims want to keep peace between the religions of the world, and not only that, but how the Turkish government preserved these artifacts to show the later generations of the world intact history.
