        <description><![CDATA[In attempting to answer the question, I think that a more specific war would be needed.  You do a nice job with the tags, but in the text of the question, it would be very helpful to indicate which war that you are speaking.  I would suggest as a general rule of thumb that acts of desperation on the part of military troops are undertaken when all other options have been closed.  If an opposing forces is closing in on another, there is a...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Seeing that we are examining or searching for ten phrases, I think we can go from the very mundane to the very complex.  Phrase one:  America and the allied forces had stood victorious after engaging in the world's bloodiest affairs.  Two:  The world stood forever changed as a result of the First World War.  Three:  The terms imposed by the Treaty of Versailles sought to castrate the German state.  Four:  The imposition of reparations...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[On April 2-4, 1863, the Union army was camped on the north side of the Rappahannock River.  Their General, Hooker, was moving towards General Lee, who was stationed across the river at Fredericksburg, Virginia.  General Hooker tried catch Lee's army between two forces by splitting his army in two.  He took up a position at Chancellorsville with part of his forces, and General Sedgwick took the remainder and crossed the river below...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[At the Battle of Chancellorsville (May 1863), Robert E. Lee and General Thomas (Stonewall) Jackson, were able to defeat a numerically superior Union force, led by Gen. Joseph Hooker.
Because the Confederate forces were outnumbered, the conventional thing for them to do would have been to gather their forces in one place and try to avoid battle, or at the very least fight on the defensive.
Instead, Lee and Jackson decided to split their forces...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The South faced many problems during the Civil War, and it is easy to name three. 
First, the South had the problem of having an agricultural economy.  It is hard to win a war when all you produce is cotton, tobacco, and rice.  The South had virtually no industrialization, and found it difficult to produce weapons or uniforms, for example.  In spite of the fact that agricultural products can be turned into cash, plantations were not...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Of the many challenges that confronted the South at the outset of the Civil War, there were some very significant hurdles that proved difficult to overcome.  The North's industrial capacity proved to be overwhelming.  An overwhelming majority of the factories resided in the North.  This would allow the North to continue production of war-fighting materials, enabling them to fight a longer, more protracted conflict.  Another major Northern...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[American industry grew in the late 19th century due to several factors.  One was the Westward Expansion of the nation, facilitating the growth of railroads that allowed the country's markets to be interlinked with one another, allowing transport, trade, and business growth to emerge.  Another reason why industry grew in this time period was due to technology and innovative ways to pry oil from the ground and develop steel at a low cost. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It was at this time that the Industrial Revolution came to America.  For several decades England had been growing in industrial might, but England worked hard to keep this technology from getting to America as they wanted to keep the US in a subservient, raw goods producing position. However, thanks to the efforts of a few men who managed to sneak technological information out of England – particularly Samuel Slater and Francis Cabot...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I think that a sense of American nationalism or exceptionalism might have been a reason for expanding interests abroad.  It seemed that a combination of industrialization, the acquisition of wealth, and the belief that America was "chosen" (a la O'Sullivan's Manifest Destiny) seemed to contribute to a bold push to expanding interests outside of America.  The combination, or some would say "collusion," of economic and political interests led...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This is a very interesting and truly compelling question.  While there are several items that can hope to explain the aggressiveness of the powers that will come to be known as the Axis powers, I am going to try to frame all of them into one dimension that has multiple components.  I think that the major factor that underscored the aggressiveness of each foreign policy was the charismatic effect of each nation's leader.  Each of these...]]></description>
