Abstract
The Battles of Trenton and Princeton were won by the Americans against the English, through a combination of good luck and good planning. This paper examines these battles in order to understand how the strategy and actions of George Washington helped ensure victory in these battles and, as a result, in the war as a whole. The paper provides detailed descriptions of both battles and places within the context of the American Revolution.

From the Paper
"Washington was personally in charge of the effort to take Trenton and he had at his command about 2,400 veterans and 18 cannon. He planned to cross the Delaware river at McKonkey's Ferry (now called Washington's Crossing) nine miles above Trenton and surprise the village from the north. General Ewing was to cross the Delaware at Trenton Ferry with 1,000 militia members and prevent a retreat by the British but he failed to do so. Colonel Cadwalader was to lead 2,000 men across the river and attack the garrison at Bordentown as a diversion. However, while he did manage to make the crossing, he could not land his artillery and he was too late to give the main attack against Trenton any real assistance (Boatner, 1966, p. 1112). Thus Washington and his men were very much on their own."

Abstract
This paper provides a description of the three main battles in which Beowulf takes part in this epic poem. The battles are explained for the Germanic values of Beowulf's society that are symbolized by his actions in each.

From the Paper
"In the epic poem "Beowulf", the poet describes three major battles engaged in by the hero of the tale, the great warrior Beowulf. Beowulf engages in two successful battles as a warrior and one unsuccessful battle as a King. The first two battles result in the death of two menaces to the Geats, Grendel and his mother. The third battle is against another evil presence a dragon, but in this battle, Beowulf as King is mortally wounded. If we question the primary significance of these battles..."

Abstract
A discussion of the conflict between Islam and the West, including the Battle of Lepanto against Spain, the Siege of Vienna against Austria and Poland, and the Battle of Constantinople in 1483. It explains how these three battles were significant in world history for a number of reasons; had their outcomes been different, the face of the world could have been very different today.

From the Paper
"The Muslim nation has always been made up of warriors, unafraid to do battle with those outside their faith. Writer John L. Esposito says their culture combines "a warrior culture with an Islamic tradition that believed in Islam's universal mission and sacred struggle (jihad), to establish themselves as worldwide propagators and defenders of Islam" (Espisito 61). Because of this long tradition, Muslims have fought in numerous battles throughout their extensive history, including such decisive battles as the Battle of Lepanto in 1571, the Siege of Vienna in 1683, and the Battle of Constantinople in 1483. These battles were all significant for a number of reasons, and they are still important today in the interpretation of Muslim influence and history around the world."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer discusses that 'Gideon's Trumpet' defines the life and legal battles that were essential for changing the idea of legal representation in the 20th century American court system. The writer maintains that Gideon's criminal past had made it impossible for him to attain legal representation (because of monetary cost and their exclusivity to class ranges that could afford them), which he then fought through Gideon v. Wainwright to gain access to the a lawyer.

Abstract
In an effort to better understand the battle at Khe San that involved Americans during the Vietnam War, the paper first examines the historical battle at Dien Bien Phu, which preceded the Khe Sanh battle by ten years. The paper points out that in order to understand the battle at Khe Sanh, it is necessary to first fully understand the Dien Bien Phu battle. The paper then goes on to discuss the battle at Khe Sanh and explain why the dien Bien Phu battle and the Khe Sanh battle were both similar and yet different.

From the Paper
"During Khe Sanh, which began thirteen years later, the allied forces of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam and the United States defeated the numerically superior North Vietnamese Army. The battle took place on the Khe Sanh plateau in the Quang Tri Province of northern South Vietnam. There, the three phases of the fighting lasted from April 1967 through April 1968. The Khe Sanh plateau was critical terrain because the North Vietnamese Army used area routes to infiltrate into South Vietnam from Laos and the Demilitarized Zone. To curtail that activity, the allied forces had maintained some form of a combat base since 1962, but in1967, the North Vietnamese Army started building up significant conventional forces in the area around the plateau, and in an effort to deny the North Vietnamese Army control of this important terrain, the U.S. started increasing its own strength in the region."

From the Paper
"It is sometimes difficult, as we near the 225th anniversary of our country s independence, to recall how very unlikely that independence seemed during the early battles of the American Revolution. This paper examines two of those battles Trenton and Princeton to understand how the strategy and actions of George Washington helped ensure victory in these battles and, as a result, in the war as a whole.
Before describing the battles more completely, a brief overview of the two battles is useful for placing them within the context of the war.
The forces of General George Washington defeated Hessian troops, German mercenaries allied with the British, in the Battle of Trenton on December 26, 1776. One week later British forces under General Charles Cornwallis advanced along the..."

Abstract
This paper describes the strategies used by the political art group, the Guerrilla Girls, in battling sexism and racism in the art world in the United States and abroad. The paper looks closely at three specific posters that the group has made and circulated around New York that uses statistics to point out the sexist practices of most museums and galleries.

From the Paper
"This paper is about Georgia O'Keeffe. It is also about Frida Kahlo. And Katha Kollwitz. And Alice Neel. These are just some of the pseudonyms used by the art group, the Guerrilla Girls. The Guerrilla Girls are a political protest group that has been working as a collective in the United States and abroad since 1985. The women of this group want to keep their anonymity, and thus use the names of deceased female artists as their pseudonyms. In addition to this use of names, the Guerrilla Girls wear plastic gorilla masks when they appear in public spaces. The focus of the Guerrilla Girls is to battle sexism and racism in the art world; they..."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of the alliterative epic poem known as "Beowulf." The analysis discusses how the three primary battles in the work show the values cherished by Beowulf's warrior culture but also his maturation from youthful and fierce warrior to wise and cautious king.

Abstract
The paper explains why made Alexander the Great was one of the finest military commanders in history. The composition and organization of the army are analyzed and his tactics used in his four great battles.

From the Paper
"Alexander the Great ascended to the throne at a time when the Macedonian empire was at a crossroads, yet within ten years of coming to power in 336BC Alexander was within striking distance of the Indus valley after destroying the greatest empire the world had ever seen up to that point. The noted military tactician and historian J.F.C Fuller says of Alexander's succession to the throne, "When Philip was assassinated Alexander was barely twenty years of age and as yet so inexperienced and untried that it seemed to all Greece that the Macedonian empire was about to dissolve." The description of Alexander by Arrian as "always masterly" says a lot of his capability as a general, but Alexander had inherited numerous advantages from Philip II. This essay will seek to demonstrate whether or not Alexander was a tactical genius or not, on and off the battlefield. I will now go on to discuss the advantages that Alexander had inherited from Philip II."
