Why did Sam Houston order the Texans to retreat in march 1836

History

A. he wanted more time to train his army

Explanation:

  • Aware of news of the fall of the Alamo, but also aware of the numerical superiority of the enemy, Houston immediately ordered a retreat eastward, or toward the Louisiana border, where he could, as a last resort, seek shelter or seek help from his friend, US President Andrew Jackson.
  • That decision also led to a civilian confusion known as the Runaway Scrape.
  • Santa Ana's advance, however, was slowed by the rains and bad weather, and an additional problem was the lack of information on the enemy's position. In an effort to end the war as quickly as possible, and after information that the Texas Provisional Government had taken refuge in Galveston, Santa Anna decided to split its forces, that is, with a smaller but moving flying column to occupy the city and capture the rebel leaders.
  • Houston used this to confront him with his troops on the San Jacinto River. Even so weakened, Santa Anna's army was so overwhelming over Houston that on April 20, when they met, Santa Anna allowed her troops the afternoon siesta the next day. This was used by Houston to carry out a raid the next day that would lead to the Battle of San Jacinto; in it, the Mexicans are completely shattered and Santa Anna captured. In front of Houston, who was wounded in the battle, he agreed to sign the Welsh agreements that formally ended the war and recognized the independence of the newly declared Republic of Texas. The Mexican troops subsequently retreated across the border.

How did technological advances help with European imperialism in Africa?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The development of steam-powered ships greatly assisted European powers that sought to extend their empires in Africa and Asia. Europeans had enjoyed a virtual monopoly on sea travel since the first imperial expansion began in the 1500s, but this only extended to the coasts. European ships were too awkward to travel inland via the river systems in their empires. Therefore, even great seafaring nations like the Portuguese were often limited to coastal colonial possessions in Africa. American historian Jared Diamond famously coined the phrase “Guns, Germs, and Steel” to explain why European civilizations conquered the Amerindian peoples in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Steel steamships (and other technologies) helped European empires expand inland in Africa and Asia; and once quinine had been discovered, exploration of the former continent was made much easier. Nonetheless, it cannot be forgotten that much of this exploration was done at the point of a gun; and once Europeans had staked their claims to territory, their advanced weaponry helped to secure the land for decades to come.

Explanation:

Improvements in steam power in the early nineteenth century enabled such river

travel, helping Europeans travel inland to expand their empires. Smaller, more powerful

engines allowed smaller boats to travel against the current with more success. Soon,

European empires – chiefly the British – launched steamships in the direction of Asia.

The British East India Company, for instance, used steam ships in their war against the

Kingdom of Burma in 1824, which was fought chiefly along the rivers.

The chief improvement in weaponry that affected European imperial ventures

was the refinement of the gun. Guns were not new to Africans, as they had been used

in North Africa since the sixteenth century. In Algeria, for instance, the people often

made their own guns, while the rich traders on the sub-Saharan coast bought cheap –

but easily repaired – European weapons. Yet, as Europeans moved further inland in

Africa, they encountered fewer people with guns. Their opponents were more likely to

carry swords and shields and charge out from castles than to employ guns and

ammunition. Even so, around the turn of the nineteenth century, most European

soldiers still fought with a musket, which was notoriously inaccurate and took a long

time to reload. It was often more effective to use the musket as a pike than as a gun.

This handicap was overcome through several new technologies developed over the

course of the nineteenth century.
