The man destined to be the 22nd Commandant of The Marine Corps said this "Casaulities many; precent dead unkown; we are winning" while fighting for pacific atoll who was he, and what is the name of the atoll

This fighting retreat is one of the most famous battles in Marine History. The general in command Major General Smith said in response to a reporters question during the fight "retreat, hell!

nelson mandela and they held him in a small jailcell on robben island.

good job kal I expected that to take longer

The war of 1812 largely took part in New York, however in a last ditch attempt by the british to cause the American economy to crumble, blockaded the city of New Orleans, and landed a full battallion of soldiers there.

Andrew Jackson took his company to New Orleans and killed over 700 British soldiers while only loosing in the neighborhood of 8 killed and a dozen injured.

The Treaty of Ghent which formally ended the war was signed on Christmas eve in 1814... the battle for New Orleans occured on January 8th 1815.

I should add that the treaty was signed in England, and no one in the states knew about it till February.

this was a decisive victory for the united states against their enemy...but the treaty to end the war had already been delivered.

name the battle, the enemy, the commanding general, and the war.

That was easy, ok Kal your turn.

this was a good one. ok, was the event the opening of japan and the subsequent treaty? if that's right, the commodore is matthew c. perry, and the flag is the US flag. and it happened...1853(when the US sailed to Japan)-1854(when they signed the treaty)?

Okay we need a new hunt then

"I came I saw I conquerered. From record sales, to sold out concerts..."

"I came, I saw, I conquered"

Battle of Zela

After this battle, the famous words "Vedi, Veni, Vici," were spoken by Julius Caeser

Kal got it right the battle of wake island
