History - October 2007

Once again I must point out that I do not mean to cast any sort of slur upon America or the American people and if my questions upset you then please ignore them.
Please dont quote me encounters and call them battles. All the encouters that you mention were in fact just that Encounters. I dont make light of these as many very brave people died and the rest of the world are proud of these men.But let us not detract, Most of the engagements mentioned were part of a war and cannot be considered battles. It was a Brish war which we needed the help from America to win and win we did. History will show that the might of the British and the British empire beat the Germans and there will be little mention of what part the Americans had in it.Let us not trade insults all I want is a discussion and a conclusion. If you cant stand the heat then get my question eliminated thats the easy way out. Please dont insult me by quoting things like Granada. A question for Cowboydo What nationality are you

This is a question only and is not meant as anyform of insult.
Has America ever won a war or indeed even a battle? The whole world knows that history would be very differant if America had'nt helped out but not to distract from the question, have they ever beaton anybody in a war? The answer that is almost sure to come back is "Well we beat you Brits in our war of independence" Whereas the truth is that they did'nt, The troops that threw us out were themselves British. There were very few other nationalities and it was considered then and now as a british civil war. Am I wrong? has America ever won anything in the war or battles department?
If any Americans read this then I would like to discuss the reasons as to why they entered the second world war apart from Pearl Harbour. I will be online at noon GMT. I hope to hear from someone.

We were told to pick a topic without learning much about anything past the fall of Rome and the Barbarian invasions. I'm toying with "The Black Plague had the biggest impact of any empidemic". Good thesis or bad thesis? Also, what are some angles I can work on this besides loss of population affecting military size (and therefore the outcome of wars) and Justinian I consequently imposing laws stating a son must take up the career of his father to replace him in society? (Looking for medical/technological advancements and the like). Thanks!
