Why didn’t the British attack the fort right away?

History
1 answer:
My name is Ann [436]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The attack on Fort McHenry in Baltimore's harbor was a pivotal moment in the War of 1812 as it successfully thwarted the Chesapeake Bay campaign the Royal Navy had been waging against the United States.

Coming only weeks after the burning of the U.S. Capitol and the White House by British forces, the victory at Fort McHenry, and the associated Battle of North Point, were much-needed boosts to the American war effort.

The bombardment of Fort McHenry also provided something no one could have anticipated: a witness to the "rockets red glare and bombs bursting in air," Francis Scott Key, wrote the words which became "The Star-Spangled Banner," the national anthem of the United States.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Political legitimacy is considered a basic condition for governing, without which a government will suffer legislative deadlock(s) and collapse. In political systems where this is not the case, unpopular régimes survive because they are considered legitimate by a small, influential élite.

To what extent had japan become a major world power by 1905
luda_lava [24]
The UK and Japan signed the Anglo-Japanese Alliance in 1902, that was when Japan was pulled into great power status - the world's hyperpower thought you were someone worthy to ally with, to the exclusion of everyone else - the UK was then in a what was called "a splendid isolation" - she needed no alliance to maintain her supremacy.

<span>As to how they got to this power, they had a brilliant leader in Ito Hirobumi, who personally directed the first Sino-Japanese War and ended it in Japan's complete favor. The war demolished Qing China's prestige (they didn't have much left back then), stripped her of the territory of Taiwan and dominance over Korea, as well as an enormous sum of money - enough for Japan to renovate her battle fleet according to the 6-6 doctrine (6 battleships, 6 battlecruisers). It was with this fleet, the Anglo-Japanese alliance, and the abilities of men such as Akashi Motojiro, Yamamoto Gonnohyoue, Akiyama Saneyuki and Kodama Gentaro that the Japanese was once again able to conclude the Russo-Japanese War on their terms in 1905, and this represented a major turning point of world history - a European great power had been decisively defeated by an East Asian Power, and thus Japan was without a doubt a great power, with a navy that was far more powerful than most of Europe had to offer.</span>
