Answer: The French

Explanation: Britain challenged France for possession of North America in the French and Indian War of 1756-1763. The British defeated the French and reigned supreme “over” North America. The countries of Spain, England, and France fought for dominance in the new world. The French and Indian War was the biggest manifestation of the struggle. Spain was the first country to occupy the New World and dominate by creating their own colonies before anyone else.

How did the strategies of the Union and Confederacy differ during the Civil War? In your response, be sure to include the tactic

Marat540 [252]

At the beginning of the war, the Confederacy chose a more defensive strategy while the Union chose an offensive strategy. The defensive strategy of the Confederacy did not work against the strength of the Union army and the Union was able to make successful raids on Confederate territory. After a while, the Confederate army grew weaker and the Confederate President Jefferson Davis decided to switch to an offensive-defensive strategy that allowed Confederate territories to be protected but also allowed for strategic offensives or counteroffensives. The Confederacy didn't want to take Union territory, they just wanted to survive and defend it's right to secede. The strategies of the Confederacy could not work against the strength of the United States.

The Civil War revolutionized the concept of war. There were many technological advancements including the telegraph, railroads, trench warfare, hot air balloons, and ironclads. In my opinion, the most important of these was the telegraph. This invention allowed almost instant long-distance communication. If an armies telegraph wasn't working the outcome of the battle could dramatically change. The Union had a more reliable telegraph system than the Confederates, this could have been a major contribution to the North's victory. While railroads were invented in 1825, they were never really popular before the Civil War. During the Civil War, both North and South could move men, weapons, and food to there armies. The first balloon flight was in 1783. The Civil War was the first war to use air balloons for reconnaissance and artillery spotting. Trench Warfare was introduced during the war which prolonged fighting. Ironclads drastically advanced naval warfare because they were nearly impossible to sink.

Double Victory spotlights the historic role of the Tuskegee Airmen

during World War II, revealing the ways these African Americans

bravely fought a war on two fronts: they helped the world triumph

against fascism abroad and they fought valiantly for racial justice and

equality at home. Though the Tuskegee Airmen faced the enormous

challenges of discrimination from military officers, inferior equipment

and heightened scrutiny, these pilots and their support personnel

excelled. Featuring many Tuskegee pilots who tell powerful stories of

their experiences during the war, Double Victory shows how these

airmen helped defeat fascism in Europe and helped inspire the

Civil Rights Movement upon their return.

“ You can’t turn your back on your own country. We’re

as patriotic as anybody else. And we wanted our chance

to prove that we could do something.

– Lt. Col. George Hardy, USAF (Ret.) Pilot, 332nd Fighter Group
