The military history of the United States spans a period of over two centuries. During those years, the United States evolved from a new nation fighting Great Britain for independence (1775–1783), through the monumental American Civil War (1861–1865) and, after collaborating in triumph during World War II (1941–1945), to the world's sole remaining superpower from the late 20th century to present.

The Continental Congress in 1775 established the Continental Army, Continental Navy, and Continental Marines and named General George Washington its commander. This newly formed military, along with state militia forces, the French Army and Navy, and the Spanish Navy defeated the British in 1781. The new Constitution in 1789 made the president the commander in chief, with authority for the Congress to levy taxes, make the laws, and declare war.

As of 2017, the U.S. Armed Forces consists of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force, all under the command of the United States Department of Defense. There also is the United States Coast Guard, which is controlled by the Department of Homeland Security.

The President of the United States is the commander-in-chief, and exercises the authority through the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which supervises combat operations. Governors have control of each state's Army and Air National Guard units for limited purposes. The president has the ability to federalize National Guard units, bringing them under the sole control of the Department of Defense.

Give me a short (around 2 sentence) summary for when hitler joined the nazis,
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Beer Hall Putsch: A combination of factors led up to Hitler's ascension to power in Germany after WWI. His failed Putsch, which basically means coup or attempt to overthrow the government, did lead to him getting into jail, but it also symbolized the growing power of the Nazis, who were formerly a very elite, small group.

Authorship of Mein Kampf: Hitler wrote Mein Kampf, "My Struggle," while in jail after the Putsch. It was a protest against all types of people he hated: Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, and did I mention Jews?

Reichstag fire: Hitler became chancellor and "withstood" the Reichstag fire; most historians agree that the fire was deliberately set by Nazis to increase support for their party and make it look like someone else had done it.

Invasion of Poland: The Nazi party soon came out in force, spreading German liebensraum or living space by invading almost all its close neighbors.

First concentration camp: Hitler then initiated a wave of antisemitic procedures, including concentration camps like Dachau and Auschwitz. Undesirables were told that they were moving to work camps, when they were only destined for starvation, overwork, and death.

Nuremberg Laws: This was the codification of Jewish exclusion in Germany. They were no longer considered citizens. With this, Hitler put in writing and in deed his consistent oppression of that minority. It was all too fitting that the trials of the highest ranking Nazis were held in Nuremberg.

Kristallnacht: The brutal oppression of Jews on Kristallnacht, or the Night of the Broken Glass, was so-named because German Nazi supporters broke into Jewish houses and businesses (broken glass) and smeared racial slurs on the walls. This was just a foretaste of what was to come.

What occupation is the lowest paid in French at the time of the French Revolution
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The nobility in France enjoyed special privileges over the peasants during the late 1700s. Although most French peasants were ostensibly free, they still had to pay feudal dues. They owed the corvee, which was forced labor on public works projects such as roads and bridges. Peasants also had weak property rights with the capitaineries feudal dues that allowed the nobles to destroy peasant lands in pursuit of their own goals. The nobility did not have to pay taxes but enjoyed many advantages on the backs of the peasants doing forced labor.
