The North had superior numbers in superior position (high ground). IMPROVEMENT The causes of the Confederate defeat were many: 1 - Gen. Stuart's Cavalry Corp failed to join Lee's Army on the battlefield, thus depriving Lee of vital information about the movements of the enemy units. 2 - The battle broke out before Lee's could deploy all his units as planned. 3 - The Confederate failed to capture the Little Round Top on July 2nd 4 - Despite the adverse and well grounded advice of Gen. Longstreet, Lee was inflexible in planning the great charge against the Union center carried on July 3rd. 5 - During the artillery preparation for this decisive attack and the resulting duel of artillery (150 Confederate guns were concentrate against the objective and 103 Union guns were ready to carry the counter-battery fire), the Union artillery commander of the menaced sector, Gen. Hunt managed to deceive the Confederates about the outcome of their bombardment ordering a reaction by an intermittent fire carried on by only some 80 guns, giving the impression that the Union artillery were being gradually overwhelmed and put out of combat. The trick worked well and the great charge started, being the Confederate convinced that it would met but only a weak standing barrage fire. 6 - During the last stage of the battle Stuart's Cavalry Corp attempted to attack from the rear the Army of Potomac, but was repulsed by the Union cavalry units. If any two of the above results could have been reversed, the Union victory may not have happened.

i'll tell you everything i know

explanation:

the american entry into world war i came in april 1917, after more than two and a half years of efforts by president woodrow wilson to keep the united states out of the war.

apart from an anglophile element urging early support for the british, american public opinion reflected that of the president: the sentiment for neutrality was particularly strong among irish americans, german americans, and scandinavian americans, as well as among church leaders and among women in general. on the other hand, even before world war i had broken out, american opinion had been more negative toward germany than toward any other country in europe. over time, especially after reports of atrocities in belgium in 1914 and following the sinking of the passenger liner rms lusitania in 1915, american citizens increasingly came to see germany as the aggressor in europe.

wilson, as president, made virtually all the key decisions over foreign policy. while the country was at peace american banks made huge loans to britain and france, which were used mainly to buy munitions, raw materials, and food from across the atlantic. until 1917, wilson made minimal preparations for a land war and kept the united states army on a small peacetime footing, despite increasing demands for enhanced preparedness. he did, however, expand the united states navy.

in 1917, with russia experiencing political upheaval, and with britain and france low on credit, germany appeared to have the upper hand in europe, while the ottoman empire, germany's ally, held on to its territory in modern-day iraq, syria and israel. at this point germany decided to resume unrestricted submarine warfare. its goal was to starve britain into surrender, although it realized that this would almost certainly bring the united states into the war. germany also made a secret offer to mexico regain territories lost in the mexican–american war in an encoded telegram known as the zimmerman telegram, which was intercepted by british intelligence. publication of that communique outraged americans just as german u-boats started sinking american merchant ships in the north atlantic. wilson then asked congress for "a war to end all wars" that would "make the world safe for democracy", and congress voted to declare war on germany on april 6, 1917.

on december 7, 1917, the u.s. declared war on austria-hungary.

u.s. troops began arriving on the western front in large numbers in 1918.
