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.

Following the Middle ages, a period of revival in art, literature, and learning in Western Europe was known as the
Murljashka [212]
The correct answer is 'the Renaissance'. After the Hundred Years' War, which is largely regarded by historians to be the point where chivalry ended, people in Italy began to focus on creating art and literature. The main reason that the Renaissance occurred when it did was because, during the Crusades, Western Europe had recovered Greek and Roman books from Muslim libraries, sparking a revival in art and learning. After the Renaissance lifestyle had grown popular in Italy, it began to spread throughout Western Europe as people saw the paintings and books that Italians were creating.

Did anyone try to stop the holocaust
Zigmanuir [339]
Yes. Jewish supporters in Germany and German occupied France hid Jews from the Gestapo, which was the German "secret" police. Once america and it's allies found out what the Germans were doing in the Concentration Camps, they pushed harder to stop it. So the answer is yes, some people did, otherwise the genocide would have continued.
