Answer:

General McClellan’s most grievous error was hugely overestimating Confederate numbers. This delusion dominated his military character. In August 1861, taking command of the Army of the Potomac, he began entirely on his own to over-count the enemy’s forces. Later he was abetted by Allan Pinkerton, his inept intelligence chief, but even Pinkerton could not keep pace with McClellan’s imagination. On the eve of Antietam, McClellan would tell Washington he faced a gigantic Rebel army “amounting to not less than 120,000 men,” outnumbering his own army “by at least twenty-five per cent.”

.Which of the following was NOT an advantage of the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong fighting
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

D. Better weapons and technology .

Explanation:

The American Army always enjoyed technological superiority and superior fire power over the communist forces. The US had air and naval superiority, and also in conventional power.

But the North Vietnamese had great manpower reserves and an iron determination to fight what they saw as a foreign occupier as long as it was necessary with persistent and intrepid guerrilla tactics, an asymmetric response to a stronger adversary. History provides many examples of the Vietnamese people´s fight against outside intruders in protracted guerrilla wars until the enemy wears down: the Chinese, the Mongols, the French and the Americans.

Which military action led to the start of World War
Dafna11 [192]
No military action led to the start of WW1; the catalyst to WW1 was the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, the archduke of Austria-Hungary. His murder by Gavrilo Princip – a Serbian nationalist, caused Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia, which drew the other European countries into the war due to their existing treaties of mutual defense.
