By Patrick S. Baker

In the declaration of independence, prominent among the 27 “repeated injuries and usurpations” Thomas Jefferson charged King George with having imposed on the colonies was that he: “endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

At the start of the Revolutionary War, the Ohio River and Appalachian Mountains marked the frontier between the colonists and the Native Americans. In the fall of 1775, the Continental Congress sent a delegation to Fort Pitt to meet with the chiefs of the tribes of the Ohio River valley: the Delaware, Shawnee, Wyandot, Mingo and Ottawa.

To maintain internal stability, he needed to keep almost all his Mongol personnel in China, expanding beyond there using armies mostly composed of previously defeated enemies.
  • The Cuito Cuanavale Campaign The 1987–88 Battle of Cuito: Cuanavale has been variously described as the biggest battle in Africa since World War II, South Africa’s Stalingrad, or the place where 50,000 Cuban-led troops were decisively beaten.
