Apush Chapter 3

The Battle of the Atlantic During WWII, the Germans attempted to force Britain into surrender by preventing vital supplies from reaching her across the Atlantic Ocean. Explain why by mid 1943, the British had gained the upper hand in the Atlantic. The Battle of the Atlantic was a key event in deciding the outcome of WWII. The Atlantic was Britain's lifeline, the only route to the great 'factory' that was the USA with it's vast production capabilities.

The British colonies in America from the time they were established up until around 1763 had a policy of Salutary Neglect. Salutary Neglect meant that the British would not interfere with the colonies national or even international affairs. This benefitted the colonies, they got to experience some forms of democracy, and they also were able to experience independence in a way though they took it for granted. The British after the Seven Years War, which was fought on American soil, for the

While they had no official ally, they accepted bribes from both sides and profited. Additionally, in this first section of the chapter, the author informs the reader that Patriots took utilized Indian raids as propaganda opportunities to urge colonial unity. Even if the raids were carried out without British assistance, clever authors spun the stories to blame the mother country for the deaths of innocent Americans. By 1777, the British recognized that allying with the Natives was in their best interests and encouraged all tribes to raid Patriot settlements. The southern Indian nations hesitated, due to the recent defeat of the Cherokee in Georgia, but most of the northern nations agreed. Most Native American leaders thought the British would win the war and maintain trade relations with them. Additionally, the Indians wanted to regain the land they had lost to the colonists. Other Indians, however, saw the British as “the lesser of two evils”. Taylor writes that some saw the manipulative tendencies of the British and the fact that their strategies endangered Natives more than their own

The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest lasting battle of World War II. The Battle was to control the Atlantic Shipping Lanes and lasted from September 3rd 1939 to May 8th 1945, mainly in The Atlantic Ocean, but later spread to the United States and The Caribbean Sea. The Battle of the Atlantic was originally fought by Britain and Canada against Germany until 1940 when the Italians joined the German side. In 1941 the United States joined Britain and Canada in the battle, leading to the defeat of Germany. A significant even that lead up to The Battle of the Atlantic was when U-30 (U-boat 30) attacked Athenia, the passenger liner, a British auxiliary cruiser, within just hours of the British declaring war on Germany, killing 112 civilians that were aboard. These ships were the ones the submarines were told not to attack by The German Navy. This is what some say was the beginning of The Battle of the Atlantic. The Germans were also humiliated from World War One and felt they had not deserved to lose and have the harsh treatment put upon them, as outlined in The Treaty of Versailles.

Chapter 23: The "Bloody Shirt" Elects Grant Post-Civil War Reconstruction: Andrew Johnson was impeached and the Democrats/Republicans both nominated new candidates (Democrats - Horatio Seymour and Republicans - Ulysses S.

The whole point of the meeting was to come to an agreement over disputes of land claims between colonies and Indian nations including the Iroquois. Though, through trickery, the Iroquois had ceded to the colonies land “from sea to sea”.2(p. 187) This meant land from the Ohio Valley all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Needless to say the Indians involved were disappointed and angered.

It's no secret England is a strong powerful nation who obtains great tradition and power. England in the 1600s was interesting under the

North America was shaped when it drifted from the other continents and the landscaped was formed natural occurrences throughout the years.

Most of these tribes had sided with the British. Native Americans, finding themselves continually encroached upon by the expanding settlers, were openly hostile. Treaties signed by various Native American Tribes in 1784 and 1785 at Fort Stanwix and Fort McIntosh attempted to address the Native American claim to territories in the Old Northwest. Not all tribes making claim to the area agreed to the treaties. Finally, in 1789, the governor of the Northwest Territory, Arthur St. Clair, authorized by Secretary of War Henry Knox, negotiated with the Iroquois Six Nations, Wyandot, Delaware, Ottawa, Chippewa, Potawatomi, and Sauk. The Treaty of Fort Harmar, ignored by the Miami, Shawnee, and other tribes was the last attempt at a diplomatic solution. Hostilities continued and by the end of 1790, the white settlers of the Old Northwest demanded protection from the federal government. Open hostilities led to

The English colonists initially believed that they would discover fertile and mineral rich lands, similar to the Inca empire; however, instead, they found disease, starvation, and native populations who were sparse, thus, colonists had to largely create communities on their own, however, when they had relations with Indians, they exploited them for their game and corn.

These aspects of colonial were a major part of the French alliance with the Huron, but it was also part of agreements that the British made with the Iroquois during the 1740s and 1750s. However, the struggle to dominate the

The restoration of the English monarchy when Charles II thought the throne in 1660 sparked a new period of colonial expansion.

Before this England didn’t have a monarchy but instead has a man named Oliver Cromwell controlling all of England. In the 1660s, which most call the Restoration period, the monarchy was brought back to the throne by King Charles II. King Charles II changed the way that Great Britain thought about their colonies. He believed that the future of Great Britain rested in the colonies hands, so he changed how the way Great Britain dealt with the colonies. First, he granted allies control of areas of the colonies so that they could settle the area faster and be able to focus completely on said colony; this was different from the way the colonies were controlled before because they were Royal colonies, the King had complete control, but now they are called Proprietary colonies. This establishment of Proprietary colonies leads to the next topic of how Great Britain conquered the New

The British American expansion is associated with problems with royal control, civil war, and financial involvement. The civil war lasted for a long time due to Oliver Cromwell executing the English king, Charles I. As a result commonwealth was established to limit government and anti-monarchical beliefs. When Cromwell died in 1658, the commonwealth was no longer useful and no ruler. The conservative military took charge of the country, and later Charles II was responsible to follow his father duties. Charles II made essential decisions on gaining control on trade adjustments. The rule was for colonists to only sell to England. This was to reduce the transfer of resources from England to its competitors. To pay off debts, Charles II gave
