Island Hopping               After the Battle of Midway, the United States launched a counter-offensive strike known as "island-hopping," establishing a line of overlapping island bases, as well as air control. The idea was to capture certain key islands, one after another, until Japan came within range of American bombers. Led by General Douglas MacArthur, Commander of the Allied forces in the Southwest Pacific, and Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet, the first stage of the offensive began with the Navy under Nimitz, and Marine landings on Guadalcanal and nearby islands in the Solomons. From that point on, Nimitz and MacArthur engaged in "island-hopping" amphibious drives that bypassed strongly-held islands to strike at the enemy's weak points. In an effort to liberate the people of the Philippine Islands, MacArthur pushed along the New Guinea coast with Australian allies, while Nimitz crossed the central Pacific by way of the Gilberts, Marshalls, Marianas, Carolines, and Palaus. Both campaigns would entail seemingly endless, bloody battles — ultimately leading to the unconditional surrender of the Japanese.

PtichkaEL [24]
<span>Separation of Church and State is and Enlightenment era idea, much later than the Byzantines. Polemon could be a Japanese game but its not. Its the name of several Greek guys, a philosopher, a king and that sort of guy. But they all lived in the 4th century BC or earlier. Hagia Sophia is a great building built by the Byzantines, used as a stable by the Janissary when the finally took Constantinople and is now a mosque in Istanbul. Its Byzantine, but doesnt have much to do with law. So that leaves.... Code, in law, means an organized list of laws. So that could be it. Justinian was a great Byzantine leader. So Im thinkin weve got your answer. </span>

Describe the Confederate victory at Val Verde and how the Union troops responded.
qwelly [4]

Answer:

The Confederacy seized Val Verde, continued up the Rio Grande, and within weeks, captured Albuquerque and Santa Fe before stopping at the Battle of Glorieta Pass on March 28.

Explanation: The Confederacy's goal was to take Union mines for their treasury and claim territory they thought was rightfully theirs. They moved in on southern New Mexico and captured many towns. They later surround the fort, beating all possible odds. The Union soldiers are forced to retreat with 68 killed, 160 wounded and 35 missing. The "Rebels" (Another term used to address the Confederates) only suffered 31 killed, 154 wounded, and 1 missing. A bloody battle to say the least.
