Answer:

In early 1862, the Union and the Confederacy were locked in one of the most influential arms races of the Civil War. While their navies still relied on wooden ships, both sides had gambled on building revolutionary “ironclad” vessels that boasted steam engines, hulking cannons and armor plating protecting their hulls. In Brooklyn, Federal forces were prepping the iron vessel USS Monitor. At Gasport Navy Yard in Portsmouth, Virginia, the rebels were finishing their own metal colossus, CSS Virginia.

Iraq gained independence from which european administration in 1932?

eimsori [14]

Answer:

British Empire

Explanation:

Iraq was under occupation of foreign countries for quite some time. The people of this country last were independent during the existence of the Muslim Caliphates. Since then, the Mongols occupied them, and after that came to powerful Turkic peoples, one of which established the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottomans gained control over Iraq, lasting for almost half a millennium. After the Ottoman Empire started to fall apart, Iraq became a mandate of the British Empire, and it was at last in the year of 1932 that Iraq was granted independence and the country was free again. The independence was granted in a peaceful manner, which was good for both sides, as bloodshed was not desired neither by the British, nor by the Iraqis, especially in a post-war period.

Why did confederate general Robert E. Lee decide to invade Union territory during the Civil War?

Leona [35]

General Robert E. Lee, the Confederate commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, invaded Union territory in an attempt to persuade the United States into a negotiated peace after a hoped-for decisive and damaging attack on Northern soil. It was also believed that a notable Southern victory in Union territory might have resulted in financial support and recognition of the Confederate cause from England or France. General Lee's first invasion of the North, which took place in Maryland during September of 1862, was repulsed by Union forces at the Battle of Antietam, but it was followed by a second invasion by Lee into Pennsylvania during the months of June and July in 1863.
