History

On June 13th, the leaders of the colonial forces learned that the British were planning to send troops into Charlestown. In response, 1,200 colonial troops under the command of Col. William Prescott quickly occupied Bunker Hill on the north end of the peninsula and Breed's Hill closer to Boston. By the morning of the 16th, they had constructed a strong redoubt on Breed's Hill and other entrenchments across the peninsula.  The next day, the British army under General William Howe, supported by Royal Navy warships, attacked the colonial defenses. The British troops moved up Breeds Hill in perfect battle formations. One of the commanders of the improvised garrison, William Prescott, allegedly encouraged his men to “not fire until you see the whites of their eyes.” Two assaults on the colonial positions were repulsed with significant British casualties; the third and final attack carried the position after the defenders ran out of ammunition. The colonists retreated to Cambridge over Bunker Hill, leaving the British in control of Charlestown but still besieged in Boston. The battle was a tactical victory for the British, but it proved to be a sobering experience, involving more than twice the casualties than the Americans had incurred, including many officers. The battle demonstrated that inexperienced Continental militia could stand up to regular British army troops in battle.

How did Cold War proxy wars help to achieve, maintain, and/or threaten world peace?
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Cold War proxy wars were wars during the cold War that had the two countries involved in the cold war (America and USSR) fighting indirectly through the manipulation and use of lesser countries as the active participants.

The cold War proxy wars helped maintain world peace by taking the cold War games away from the two main countries (America and USSR). The pawn countries were used to settle disputes within these two countries and also to make major decisions.

The proxy wars helped achieve world peace by bearing the brunt of war, which could have been more dangerous and could have even gone nuclear had the two main nations eventually faced off.

Also, the use of these pawn countries threatened world peace no doubt; even though it was to a lesser degree because of the ripple effect the world face whenever two lesser but important countries go to war, especially on international trade.
