Many think military organizations run themselves, or that they are run directly by the government. The USMC is a branch if the ...

The navy was therefore delegated most of the duties of guarding Britain’s trade routes and colonies. This made the ...

However, there are many factors that contributed to the loss. The reasons include limited amounts of money, weapons, food, soldiers, and leadership styles and policies. While the North won the war, the performance of the South ...
