Why did general Washington choose valley forge as the site of his army’s winter encampment?

History

Alex Ar [27]3 years ago
8 0

During the 18th century, military tactics primarily included a respite from fighting during the winter months mainly because of the severity of the weather. The Army was not sure of where they were heading when they moved into winter quarters. Valley Forge was chosen for many reasons. Here are a few:

The British were occupying Philadelphia for the winter. The American Army needed to keep an eye on them and prevent them from foraging in the countryside for food they needed.

The Congress, after fleeing Philadelphia, were at York PA, west of Valley Forge. The troops being at Valley Forge between the British and York were a protection for Congress

The Valley Forge area (terrain) was defensible. The grounds were suitable to guard against attack. While the conditions were harsh, Washington tried to provide for the comfort of his men. The lack of supplies, clothing and food meant the winter here was not a pleasant one!

Can someone please tell me some advantages of the United States over other nations
almond37 [142]

Answer:

America’s global military power is so commonplace that it’s easy to overlook how historically unique it is. What’s so unusual and world-changing is not the extent of America’s military, political and economic capacities — but the absence of countries that come anywhere close.

America’s historically anomalous position as a sole superpower with no near peer ended the balance-of-power geopolitics that organized much of world affairs for more than a thousand years — and will fundamentally shape a new geopolitics for at least the next generation.

The United States also derives geopolitical power from its singular capacity to develop new technologies and other valuable intellectual property in large volumes, especially in the software and Internet areas that drive so much economic change and the processes of globalization itself.

The impact was most severe in the Caribbean, where by 1600 Native American populations on most islands had plummeted by more than 99 percent. Across the Americas, populations fell by 50 percent to 95 percent by 1650. The disease component of the Columbian Exchange was decidedly one-sided.
