Under pressure from the westward migration of the Huns and other Asiatic peoples in 372, the Visigoths and Ostrogoths begin migrating further south and across the Danube River to settle within the Roman Empire in greater numbers. In 376, Roman Emperor Valens formally allows these Gothic peoples to settle within the Empire on the condition they disarm. Starving and facing the exploitation of Roman officials, the Goths begin to hide their weapons. A general Gothic revolt against their hosts begins after a failed assassination attempt on Gothic leaders by the Roman military commander in Thrace, prompting Fritigern to unite the Visigoths and Ostrogoths. Valens hastily makes peace with the Persians to secure the eastern border and marches against Fritigern’s combined Gothic force. Fritigern raids into Thrace before retreating towards Adrianople where the Goths establish their traditional defensive position of wagons on a hill to await the Roman attack.. . January 17, 1781. Strategic Context. Britain’s American colonies revolt in 1775, provoking a large military response from Britain. The overall strategic situation of the American Revolutionary War turns decidedly in the American favour as the Americans win the Battle of Saratoga in 1777 and France declares war on Britain in 1778. However, the southern theater is yet to be won or lost. In December 1780, both American and British sides are reinforced near Charlotte; Nathaniel Greene now leads 3,000 Americans against Charles Cornwallis’ 4,000 British. Greene takes the offensive by sending Daniel Morgan with roughly 1,000 men in a western turning maneuver and taking the remainder to a camp near Charleston. Cornwallis opts to try and destroy both forces simultaneously by sending Banastre Tarleton with 1,100 men against Morgan and Alexander Leslie with the rest to contain Greene. Tarleton reaches Morgan’s position and attacks as part of the plan’s first stage.. .

After five years of war, the Allies gain a decisive advantage in June 1944 over Nazi Germany in World War II. Anglo-American forces land in northwestern France to open the Western Front, liberating Paris in August and capturing the first German city (Aachen) in November. On the Eastern Front, Soviet forces invade Belorussia, virtually destroying a German army group by August, and invade the Baltics and Balkans soon after. By August 1944, even Adolf Hitler recognizes that Germany cannot win a military victory. Instead, he seeks to win a decisive battlefield victory only to win a political victory by forcing one of his Allied enemies to make a separate peace with Germany. Hitler resolves to use his last mobile reserve in the West to break through the thinly-held American line in the Ardennes and capture Antwerp, splitting British-Canadian 21.

In 1618, war breaks out when Ferdinand II, King of Bohemia, attempts to enforce strict Catholicism on Bohemia, a state of the Holy Roman Empire. What begins as a localized conflict between Protestants and Catholics within Bohemia, steadily widens into full-scale warfare across Europe as Ferdinand ascends to Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. By 1629, the Protestant forces of France, Holland, the Palatinate, and Hesse-Kessel confront the Catholic-Imperialist forces of the Holy Roman Empire, Spain, Bavaria and Savoy. In 1630, Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden, enters the war on the side of the Protestants and lands in northern Germany. The Imperialist commander in the region, Johann Tscerclaes, Count of Tilly, invades Saxony as a precautionary measure to ensure it does not ally with the Swedes. However, Johann Georg, Elector of Saxony, fears the Swedes more and quickly combines forces with them. The combined Swedish-Saxon army confronts the Imperialist army near Breitenfeld..
