Answer:

New York.

Explanation:

The British Army was considered the most well-trained army in the world. By the time the Revolutionary War began the army was a volunteer force due to ineffective policies of recruitment in the decade after the Seven Years War. To offset that, the British government hired German mercenaries.

The British Army used different strategies but finally failed to suppress the rebellion. They used New York as operations base because of its splendid seaport, central location, and the support of loyalist in there.

They took control of New York after the Battle of Long Island in which the Americans forces were defeated.

How did Eastern Europe react to becoming Soviet satellites?

Natali [406]

During the Cold War, the Eastern Bloc, also called the Soviet bloc, communist bloc, eastern bloc, socialist bloc and socialist bloc, was the set of socialist countries in Central and Eastern Europe led by the Soviet Union and facing the Western Bloc, composed mainly of the United States and Western Europe. It existed between the end of the Second World War (1945) and the end of the Cold War with the official dissolution of the Warsaw Pact, accepted by the Soviet Union, at the Prague meeting on July 1, 1991. Finally the Union itself Soviet ceased to exist as a country on December 25, 1991. The so-called socialist bloc comprised the countries of central and eastern Europe (hence the name 'Eastern Bloc'), east of the Iron Curtain (with the exception of Yugoslavia ), economically linked by the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (COMECON) and militarily by the Warsaw Pact. When the countries of Eastern Europe saw themselves as satellite countries, some revolutionary movements emerged, such as the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, the German Revolution and the fall of the Berlin Wall, etc.

Gorbachev, the last president of the Soviet Union, moved to put an end to the Cold War. In 1988, the Soviet Union abandoned its nine years of war in Afghanistan and began withdrawing its troops. In the 1980s, it withdrew military support to the former satellite states of the Soviet Union, resulting in the downfall of several communist governments. With the demolition of the Berlin Wall and with East and West Germany pursuing unification, the iron curtain fell apart. At the end of the 1980s, the republics that made up the Soviet Union legally incorporated movements towards the declaration of sovereignty over their territories, citing Article 72 of the Constitution of the USSR, which indicated that any republic of the Soviet Union was free of break away. On April 7, 1990, a law was approved by virtue of which a republic could leave the union if more than two thirds of its residents voted in favor of it in a referendum. Many republics held their first free elections in the Soviet era in order to create their own national legislatures around 1990. Many of these legislatures proceeded to elaborate legislation that contradicted the laws of the Union in what became known as "The War of Laws" .

The Haitian people eventually gained independence from France and became the first nation established by former slaves as a result of their struggle. The excesses of that despicable treatment were the very reason for the success of the Haitian Revolution: the treatment of slaves and Mulattoes in Haiti was so terrible that it prompted the most violent and eventually victorious slave insurgency in history. The Haitian Revolution was the first and only slave rebellion that resulted in the creation of a free state governed by non-whites and former slaves, free of slavery. This achievement needs to be remembered as one of history's major transformations in today's culture.

Explain how Frederick I and Frederick William I were able to enhance Prussia's reputation in

MAXImum [283]

Prussia was a strange little country. For most of its life, it was all split up. Ducal Prussia in the East was held by the Elector of Brandenburg, while royal Prussia in the West was part of Poland. By the beginning of the 18th century, the Hohenzollern family held firm control over both Brandenburg and Ducal Prussia, but it was always seeking to expand and collect more territory. In 1701, Elector Frederick III received the title 'King in Prussia' as a reward for helping the Holy Roman Emperor and Austrian ruler Leopold I, and the Kingdom of Prussia officially began.

Over the next several decades, Prussia grew in power, politically and militarily. The next king, Frederick William I, who reigned from 1713 to 1740, built up a massive army. He started out with about 38,000 soldiers in 1713, but by the time of his death, Prussia was a military powerhouse with over 80,000 well-trained soldiers.

The king's successor, Frederick II, at first seemed unlikely to make good use of all that military might. The new king styled himself as an 'enlightened' monarch. He studied the ideas of the Enlightenment, wrote essays on political philosophy, played and composed music and patronized the arts. Frederick II, however, was no wimp. He had an aggressive side, as we shall soon see.
