Introduction. The Indian Removal Act was signed into law by President Andrew Jackson on May 28, 1830, authorizing the president to grant lands west of the Mississippi in exchange for Indian lands within existing state borders. A few tribes went peacefully, but many resisted the relocation policy.

The Removal Act paved the way for the forced expulsion of tens of thousands of American Indians from their land into the West in an event widely known as the "Trail of Tears," a forced resettlement of the Indian population.

The Indian Nations themselves were force to move and ended up in Oklahoma. The five major tribes affected were the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole

Going to Churchill what aspect of the British military is not quite as strong as the Germans

Inessa05 [86]

To analyse in whole, Britain's WW2 military was far behind the Germans apart from a few key areas, radar, air force (RAF) and its German code breaker (Enigma). The Germans were far ahead in tank technology and with U-boat submarines. The Germans also had higher amounts of military personel at their disposal. Britain's success lay in the Battle of Britain where the combined use of radar and code breaking allowed the Royal Air Force (RAF) to beat the Luftwaffe, from then on the Luftwaffe were more or less depleted, contributing to German defeat.
