birmingham ( (listen) bur-ming-əm) is a city and metropolitan borough in the metropolitan county of west midlands in england.it is the second-largest city in the united kingdom with a population of 1.145 million in the city proper, 2.92 million in the west midlands metropolitan county, and approximately 4.3 million in the wider metropolitan area.it is the largest uk metropolitan area outside of london.birmingham is commonly referred to as the second city of the united kingdom.located in the west midlands region of england, approximately 100 miles (160 km) from london, birmingham is considered to be the social, cultural, financial and commercial centre of the midlands.distinctively, birmingham only has small rivers flowing through it, mainly the river tame and its tributaries river rea and river cole – one of the closest main rivers is the severn, approximately 20 miles (32 km) west of the city centre.historically a market town in warwickshire in the medieval period, birmingham grew during the 18th century during the midlands enlightenment and during the industrial revolution, which saw advances in science, technology and economic development, producing a series of innovations that laid many of the foundations of modern industrial society.by 1791, it was being hailed as 'the first manufacturing town in the world'.birmingham's distinctive economic profile, with thousands of small workshops practising a wide variety of specialised and highly skilled trades, encouraged exceptional levels of creativity and innovation; this provided an economic base for prosperity that was to last into the final quarter of the 20th century.the watt steam engine was invented in birmingham.the resulting high level of social mobility also fostered a culture of political radicalism which, under leaders from thomas attwood to joseph chamberlain, was to give it a political influence unparalleled in britain outside london and a pivotal role in the development of british democracy.from the summer of 1940 to the spring of 1943, birmingham was bombed heavily by the german luftwaffe in what is known as the birmingham blitz.the damage done to the city's infrastructure, in addition to a deliberate policy of demolition and new building by planners, led to extensive urban regeneration in subsequent decades.birmingham's economy is now dominated by the service sector.the city is a major international commercial centre and an important transport, retail, events and conference hub.its metropolitan economy is the second-largest in the united kingdom with a gdp of $121.1bn (2014).its five universities, including the university of birmingham, make it the largest centre of higher education in the country outside london.birmingham's major cultural institutions – the city of birmingham symphony orchestra, birmingham royal ballet, birmingham repertory theatre, library of birmingham and barber institute of fine arts – enjoy international reputations, and the city has vibrant and influential grassroots art, music, literary and culinary scenes.the city also successfully hosted the 2022 commonwealth games.in 2021, birmingham was the third most visited city in the uk by people from foreign nations.beorma, after whom the tribe was named, could have been its leader at the time of the anglo-saxon settlement, a shared ancestor, or a mythical tribal figurehead.place names ending in -ingahām are characteristic of primary settlements established during the early phases of anglo-saxon colonisation of an area, suggesting that birmingham was probably in existence by the early 7th century at the latest.surrounding settlements with names ending in -tūn ('farm'), -lēah ('woodland clearing'), -worð ('enclosure') and -field ('open ground') are likely to be secondary settlements created by the later expansion of the anglo-saxon population, in some cases possibly on earlier british sites.the many burnt mounds that can still be seen around the city indicate that modern humans first intensively settled and cultivated the area during the bronze age, when a substantial but short-lived influx of population occurred between 1700 bc and 1000 bc, possibly caused by conflict or immigration in the surrounding area. | birmingham | leadername | andrew mitchell | no related information |

the battle of antietam ( an-tee-təm), or battle of sharpsburg particularly in the southern united states, was a battle of the american civil war fought on september 17, 1862, between confederate gen. robert e. lee's army of northern virginia and union gen. george b. mcclellan's army of the potomac near sharpsburg, maryland, and antietam creek.part of the maryland campaign, it was the first field army–level engagement in the eastern theater of the american civil war to take place on union soil.it remains the bloodiest day in american history, with a combined tally of 22,727 dead, wounded, or missing.although the union army suffered heavier casualties than the confederates, the battle was a major turning point in the union's favor.after pursuing confederate gen. robert e. lee into maryland, maj. gen. george b. mcclellan of the union army launched attacks against lee's army who were in defensive positions behind antietam creek.at dawn on september 17, maj. gen. joseph hooker's corps mounted a powerful assault on lee's left flank.attacks and counterattacks swept across miller's cornfield, and fighting swirled around the dunker church.union assaults against the sunken road eventually pierced the confederate center, but the federal advantage was not followed up.in the afternoon, union maj. gen. ambrose burnside's corps entered the action, capturing a stone bridge over antietam creek and advancing against the confederate right.at a crucial moment, confederate maj. gen. a. p. hill's division arrived from harpers ferry and launched a surprise counterattack, driving back burnside and ending the battle.although outnumbered two-to-one, lee committed his entire force, while mcclellan sent in less than three-quarters of his army, enabling lee to fight the federals to a standstill.during the night, both armies consolidated their lines.in spite of crippling casualties, lee continued to skirmish with mcclellan throughout september 18, while removing his battered army south of the potomac river.mcclellan successfully turned lee's invasion back, making the battle a union victory, but president abraham lincoln, unhappy with mcclellan's general pattern of overcaution and his failure to pursue the retreating lee, relieved mcclellan of command in november.from a tactical standpoint, the battle was somewhat inconclusive; the union army successfully repelled the confederate invasion but suffered heavier casualties and failed to defeat lee's army outright.however, it was a significant turning point in the war in favor of the union due in large part to its political ramifications: the battle's result gave lincoln the political confidence to issue the emancipation proclamation, declaring all 'persons held as slaves within any state, or designated part of a state, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion,' as of the first of the following year, shall be 'forever free.'this effectively discouraged the british and french governments from recognizing the confederacy, as neither power wished to give the appearance of supporting slavery.emboldened by success, the confederate leadership intended to take the war into enemy territory.lee's invasion of maryland was intended to run simultaneously with an invasion of kentucky by the armies of braxton bragg and edmund kirby smith.it was also necessary for logistical reasons, as northern virginia's farms had been stripped bare of food.based on events such as the baltimore riots in the spring of 1861 and the fact that president lincoln had to pass through the city in disguise en route to his inauguration, confederate leaders assumed that maryland would welcome the confederate forces warmly.they sang the tune 'maryland, my maryland!'as they marched, but by the fall of 1862 pro-union sentiment was winning out, especially in the western parts of the state.civilians generally hid inside their houses as lee's army passed through their towns, or watched in cold silence, while the army of the potomac was cheered and encouraged. | semmet | unconcertedly | etherifying <tsp> semmet | overprofusion | crinkliness | no related information |

the battle of antietam ( an-tee-təm), or battle of sharpsburg particularly in the southern united states, was a battle of the american civil war fought on september 17, 1862, between confederate gen. robert e. lee's army of northern virginia and union gen. george b. mcclellan's army of the potomac near sharpsburg, maryland, and antietam creek.part of the maryland campaign, it was the first field army–level engagement in the eastern theater of the american civil war to take place on union soil.it remains the bloodiest day in american history, with a combined tally of 22,727 dead, wounded, or missing.although the union army suffered heavier casualties than the confederates, the battle was a major turning point in the union's favor.after pursuing confederate gen. robert e. lee into maryland, maj. gen. george b. mcclellan of the union army launched attacks against lee's army who were in defensive positions behind antietam creek.at dawn on september 17, maj. gen. joseph hooker's corps mounted a powerful assault on lee's left flank.attacks and counterattacks swept across miller's cornfield, and fighting swirled around the dunker church.union assaults against the sunken road eventually pierced the confederate center, but the federal advantage was not followed up.in the afternoon, union maj. gen. ambrose burnside's corps entered the action, capturing a stone bridge over antietam creek and advancing against the confederate right.at a crucial moment, confederate maj. gen. a. p. hill's division arrived from harpers ferry and launched a surprise counterattack, driving back burnside and ending the battle.although outnumbered two-to-one, lee committed his entire force, while mcclellan sent in less than three-quarters of his army, enabling lee to fight the federals to a standstill.during the night, both armies consolidated their lines.in spite of crippling casualties, lee continued to skirmish with mcclellan throughout september 18, while removing his battered army south of the potomac river.mcclellan successfully turned lee's invasion back, making the battle a union victory, but president abraham lincoln, unhappy with mcclellan's general pattern of overcaution and his failure to pursue the retreating lee, relieved mcclellan of command in november.from a tactical standpoint, the battle was somewhat inconclusive; the union army successfully repelled the confederate invasion but suffered heavier casualties and failed to defeat lee's army outright.however, it was a significant turning point in the war in favor of the union due in large part to its political ramifications: the battle's result gave lincoln the political confidence to issue the emancipation proclamation, declaring all 'persons held as slaves within any state, or designated part of a state, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion,' as of the first of the following year, shall be 'forever free.'this effectively discouraged the british and french governments from recognizing the confederacy, as neither power wished to give the appearance of supporting slavery.emboldened by success, the confederate leadership intended to take the war into enemy territory.lee's invasion of maryland was intended to run simultaneously with an invasion of kentucky by the armies of braxton bragg and edmund kirby smith.it was also necessary for logistical reasons, as northern virginia's farms had been stripped bare of food.based on events such as the baltimore riots in the spring of 1861 and the fact that president lincoln had to pass through the city in disguise en route to his inauguration, confederate leaders assumed that maryland would welcome the confederate forces warmly.they sang the tune 'maryland, my maryland!'as they marched, but by the fall of 1862 pro-union sentiment was winning out, especially in the western parts of the state.civilians generally hid inside their houses as lee's army passed through their towns, or watched in cold silence, while the army of the potomac was cheered and encouraged. | absvolt | unenkindled | pullicate <tsp> absvolt | renet | aeromarine | no related information |

the battle of chancellorsville, april 30 – may 6, 1863, was a major battle of the american civil war (1861–1865), and the principal engagement of the chancellorsville campaign.chancellorsville is known as lee's 'perfect battle' because his risky decision to divide his army in the presence of a much larger enemy force resulted in a significant confederate victory.the victory, a product of lee's audacity and hooker's timid decision-making, was tempered by heavy casualties, including lt. gen. thomas j.'stonewall' jackson.jackson was hit by friendly fire, requiring his left arm to be amputated.he died of pneumonia eight days later, a loss that lee likened to losing his right arm.the two armies faced off against each other at fredericksburg during the winter of 1862–1863.the chancellorsville campaign began when hooker secretly moved the bulk of his army up the left bank of the rappahannock river, then crossed it on the morning of april 27, 1863.union cavalry under maj. gen. george stoneman began a long-distance raid against lee's supply lines at about the same time.this operation was completely ineffectual.crossing the rapidan river via germanna and ely's fords, the federal infantry concentrated near chancellorsville on april 30.combined with the union force facing fredericksburg, hooker planned a double envelopment, attacking lee from both his front and rear.on may 1, hooker advanced from chancellorsville toward lee, but the confederate general split his army in the face of superior numbers, leaving a small force at fredericksburg to deter maj. gen. john sedgwick from advancing, while he attacked hooker's advance with about four-fifths of his army.despite the objections of his subordinates, hooker withdrew his men to the defensive lines around chancellorsville, ceding the initiative to lee.on may 2, lee divided his army again, sending stonewall jackson's entire corps on a flanking march that routed the union xi corps.while performing a personal reconnaissance in advance of his line, jackson was wounded by fire after dark from his own men close between the lines, and cavalry commander maj. gen. j. e. b. stuart temporarily replaced him as corps commander.the fiercest fighting of the battle—and the second bloodiest day of the civil war—occurred on may 3 as lee launched multiple attacks against the union position at

chancellorsville | ispartofmilitaryconflict | american civil war | the battle of chancellorsville, april 30 – may 6, 1863, was a major battle of the american civil war (1861–1865), and the principal engagement of the chancellorsville campaign.chancellorsville is known as lee's 'perfect battle' because his risky decision to divide his army in the presence of a much larger enemy force resulted in a significant confederate victory.on may 1, hooker advanced from chancellorsville toward lee, but the confederate general split his army in the face of superior numbers, leaving a small force at fredericksburg to deter maj. gen. john sedgwick from advancing, while he attacked hooker's advance with about four-fifths of his army.the fiercest fighting of the battle—and the second bloodiest day of the civil war—occurred on may 3 as lee launched multiple attacks against the union position at chancellorsville, resulting in heavy losses on both sides and the pulling back of hooker's main army.in the first two years of the war, four major attempts had failed: the first foundered just miles away from washington, d.c., at the first battle of bull run (first manassas) in july 1861. |

birmingham ( (listen) bur-ming-əm) is a city and metropolitan borough in the metropolitan county of west midlands in england.it is the second-largest city in the united kingdom with a population of 1.145 million in the city proper, 2.92 million in the west midlands metropolitan county, and approximately 4.3 million in the wider metropolitan area.it is the largest uk metropolitan area outside of london.birmingham is commonly referred to as the second city of the united kingdom.located in the west midlands region of england, approximately 100 miles (160 km) from london, birmingham is considered to be the social, cultural, financial and commercial centre of the midlands.distinctively, birmingham only has small rivers flowing through it, mainly the river tame and its tributaries river rea and river cole – one of the closest main rivers is the severn, approximately 20 miles (32 km) west of the city centre.historically a market town in warwickshire in the medieval period, birmingham grew during the 18th century during the midlands enlightenment and during the industrial revolution, which saw advances in science, technology and economic development, producing a series of innovations that laid many of the foundations of modern industrial society.by 1791, it was being hailed as 'the first manufacturing town in the world'.birmingham's distinctive economic profile, with thousands of small workshops practising a wide variety of specialised and highly skilled trades, encouraged exceptional levels of creativity and innovation; this provided an economic base for prosperity that was to last into the final quarter of the 20th century.the watt steam engine was invented in birmingham.the resulting high level of social mobility also fostered a culture of political radicalism which, under leaders from thomas attwood to joseph chamberlain, was to give it a political influence unparalleled in britain outside london and a pivotal role in the development of british democracy.from the summer of 1940 to the spring of 1943, birmingham was bombed heavily by the german luftwaffe in what is known as the birmingham blitz.the damage done to the city's infrastructure, in addition to a deliberate policy of demolition and new building by planners, led to extensive urban regeneration in subsequent decades.birmingham's economy is now dominated by the service sector.the city is a major international commercial centre and an important transport, retail, events and conference hub.its metropolitan economy is the second-largest in the united kingdom with a gdp of $121.1bn (2014).its five universities, including the university of birmingham, make it the largest centre of higher education in the country outside london.birmingham's major cultural institutions – the city of birmingham symphony orchestra, birmingham royal ballet, birmingham repertory theatre, library of birmingham and barber institute of fine arts – enjoy international reputations, and the city has vibrant and influential grassroots art, music, literary and culinary scenes.the city also successfully hosted the 2022 commonwealth games.in 2021, birmingham was the third most visited city in the uk by people from foreign nations.beorma, after whom the tribe was named, could have been its leader at the time of the anglo-saxon settlement, a shared ancestor, or a mythical tribal figurehead.place names ending in -ingahām are characteristic of primary settlements established during the early phases of anglo-saxon colonisation of an area, suggesting that birmingham was probably in existence by the early 7th century at the latest.surrounding settlements with names ending in -tūn ('farm'), -lēah ('woodland clearing'), -worð ('enclosure') and -field ('open ground') are likely to be secondary settlements created by the later expansion of the anglo-saxon population, in some cases possibly on earlier british sites.the many burnt mounds that can still be seen around the city indicate that modern humans first intensively settled and cultivated the area during the bronze age, when a substantial but short-lived influx of population occurred between 1700 bc and 1000 bc, possibly caused by conflict or immigration in the surrounding area. | birmingham | leadername | liberal democrats | no related information |

the battle of cold harbor was fought during the american civil war near mechanicsville, virginia, from may 31 to june 12, 1864, with the most significant fighting occurring on june 3.it was one of the final battles of union lt. gen. ulysses s. grant's overland campaign, and is remembered as one of american history's bloodiest, most lopsided battles.thousands of union soldiers were killed or wounded in a hopeless frontal assault against the fortified positions of confederate gen. robert e. lee's army.on may 31, as grant's army once again swung around the right flank of lee's army, union cavalry seized the crossroads of old cold harbor, about 10 miles northeast of the confederate capital of richmond, virginia, holding it against confederate attacks until the union infantry arrived.both grant and lee, whose armies had suffered enormous casualties in the overland campaign, received reinforcements.on the evening of june 1, the union vi corps and xviii corps arrived and assaulted the confederate works to the west of the crossroads with some success.on june 2, the remainder of both armies arrived and the confederates built an elaborate series of fortifications 7 miles long.at dawn on june 3, three union corps attacked the confederate works on the southern end of the line and were easily repulsed with heavy casualties.attempts to assault the northern end of the line and to resume the assaults on the southern were unsuccessful.grant said of the battle in his personal memoirs, 'i have always regretted that the last assault at cold harbor was ever made.... no advantage whatever was gained to compensate for the heavy loss we sustained.'the armies confronted each other on these lines until the night of june 12, when grant again advanced by his left flank, marching to the james river.in the final stage, lee entrenched his army within besieged petersburg before finally retreating westward across virginia.by late may 1864, only two of these continued to advance: maj. gen. william t. sherman's atlanta campaign and the overland campaign, in which grant accompanied and directly supervised the army of the potomac and its commander, maj. gen. george g. meade.grant's campaign objective was not the confederate capital of richmond, but the destruction of lee's army.president abraham lincoln had long advocated this strategy for his generals, recognizing that the city would certainly fall after the loss of its principal defensive army.grant ordered meade, 'wherever lee goes, there you will go also.'although he hoped for a quick, decisive battle, grant was prepared to fight a war of attrition.both union and confederate casualties could be high, but the union had greater resources to replace lost soldiers and equipment.on may 5, after grant's army crossed the rapidan river and entered the wilderness of spotsylvania, it was attacked by lee's army of northern virginia.although lee was outnumbered, about 60,000 to 100,000, his men fought fiercely and the dense foliage provided a terrain advantage.after two days of fighting and almost 29,000 casualties, the results were inconclusive and neither army was able to obtain an advantage.lee had stopped grant, but had not turned him back; grant had not destroyed lee's army.under similar circumstances, previous union commanders had chosen to withdraw behind the rappahannock, but grant instead ordered meade to move around lee's right flank and seize the important crossroads at spotsylvania court house to the southeast, hoping that by interposing his army between lee and richmond, he could lure the confederates into another battle on a more favorable field.elements of lee's army beat the union army to the critical crossroads of spotsylvania court house and began entrenching, a tactic that became increasingly essential for the outnumbered defenders. | battle of cold harbor | commander | robert e lee | on may 31, as grant's army once again swung around the right flank of lee's army, union cavalry seized the crossroads of old cold harbor, about 10 miles northeast of the confederate capital of richmond, virginia, holding it against confederate attacks until the union infantry arrived.under similar circumstances, previous union commanders had chosen to withdraw behind the rappahannock, but grant instead ordered meade to move around lee's right flank and seize the important crossroads at spotsylvania court house to the southeast, hoping that by interposing his army between lee and richmond, he could lure the confederates into another battle on a more favorable field.elements of lee's army beat the union army to the critical crossroads of spotsylvania court house and began entrenching, a tactic that became increasingly essential for the outnumbered defenders. |

the battle of cold harbor was fought during the american civil war near mechanicsville, virginia, from may 31 to june 12, 1864, with the most significant fighting occurring on june 3.it was one of the final battles of union lt. gen. ulysses s. grant's overland campaign, and is remembered as one of american history's bloodiest, most lopsided battles.thousands of union soldiers were killed or wounded in a hopeless frontal assault against the fortified positions of confederate gen. robert e. lee's army.on may 31, as grant's army once again swung around the right flank of lee's army, union cavalry seized the crossroads of old cold harbor, about 10 miles northeast of the confederate capital of richmond, virginia, holding it against confederate attacks until the union infantry arrived.both grant and lee, whose armies had suffered enormous casualties in the overland campaign, received reinforcements.on the evening of june 1, the union vi corps and xviii corps arrived and assaulted the confederate works to the west of the crossroads with some success.on june 2, the remainder of both armies arrived and the confederates built an elaborate series of fortifications 7 miles long.at dawn on june 3, three union corps attacked the confederate works on the southern end of the line and were easily repulsed with heavy casualties.attempts to assault the northern end of the line and to resume the assaults on the southern were unsuccessful.grant said of the battle in his personal memoirs, 'i have always regretted that the last assault at cold harbor was ever made.... no advantage whatever was gained to compensate for the heavy loss we sustained.'the armies confronted each other on these lines until the night of june 12, when grant again advanced by his left flank, marching to the james river.in the final stage, lee entrenched his army within besieged petersburg before finally retreating westward across virginia.by late may 1864, only two of these continued to advance: maj. gen. william t. sherman's atlanta campaign and the overland campaign, in which grant accompanied and directly supervised the army of the potomac and its commander, maj. gen. george g. meade.grant's campaign objective was not the confederate capital of richmond, but the destruction of lee's army.president abraham lincoln had long advocated this strategy for his generals, recognizing that the city would certainly fall after the loss of its principal defensive army.grant ordered meade, 'wherever lee goes, there you will go also.'although he hoped for a quick, decisive battle, grant was prepared to fight a war of attrition.both union and confederate casualties could be high, but the union had greater resources to replace lost soldiers and equipment.on may 5, after grant's army crossed the rapidan river and entered the wilderness of spotsylvania, it was attacked by lee's army of northern virginia.although lee was outnumbered, about 60,000 to 100,000, his men fought fiercely and the dense foliage provided a terrain advantage.after two days of fighting and almost 29,000 casualties, the results were inconclusive and neither army was able to obtain an advantage.lee had stopped grant, but had not turned him back; grant had not destroyed lee's army.under similar circumstances, previous union commanders had chosen to withdraw behind the rappahannock, but grant instead ordered meade to move around lee's right flank and seize the important crossroads at spotsylvania court house to the southeast, hoping that by interposing his army between lee and richmond, he could lure the confederates into another battle on a more favorable field.elements of lee's army beat the union army to the critical crossroads of spotsylvania court house and began entrenching, a tactic that became increasingly essential for the outnumbered defenders. | concluder | wienies | uncanvassably <tsp> concluder | septuplication | reedless | no related information |
buffalo is the second-largest city in the u.s. state of new york (after new york city) and the seat of erie county.it lies in western new york, at the eastern end of lake erie, at the head of the niagara river, on the united states border with canada.with a population of 278,349 according to the 2020 census, buffalo is the 78th-largest city in the united states.buffalo and the city of niagara falls together make up the two-county buffalo–niagara falls metropolitan statistical area (msa), which had an estimated population of 1.1 million in 2020, making it the 49th largest msa in the united states.before the 17th century, the region was inhabited by nomadic paleo-indians who were succeeded by the neutral, erie, and iroquois nations.in the early 17th century, the french began to explore the region.in the 18th century, iroquois land surrounding buffalo creek was ceded through the holland land purchase, and a small village was established at its headwaters.in 1825, after its harbor was improved, buffalo was selected as the terminus of the erie canal, which led to its incorporation in 1832.the canal stimulated its growth as the primary inland port between the great lakes and the atlantic ocean.transshipment made buffalo the world's largest grain port of that era.after the coming of railroads greatly reduced the canal's importance, the city became the second-largest railway hub (after chicago).during the mid-19th century, buffalo transitioned to manufacturing, which came to be dominated by steel production.later, deindustrialization and the opening of the st. lawrence seaway saw the city's economy decline and diversify.it developed its service industries, such as health care, retail, tourism, logistics, and education, while retaining some manufacturing.in 2019, the gross domestic product of the buffalo–niagara falls msa was $53 billion.the city's cultural landmarks include the oldest urban parks system in the united states, the albright–knox art gallery, the buffalo philharmonic orchestra, shea's performing arts center, the buffalo museum of science, and several annual festivals.its educational institutions include the university at buffalo, buffalo state university, canisius college, d'youville university and medaille college.buffalo is also known for its winter weather, buffalo wings, and three major-league sports teams: the national football league's buffalo bills, the national hockey league's buffalo sabres and the national lacrosse league's buffalo bandits.the woodland period began around 1000 bc, marked by the rise of the iroquois confederacy and the spread of its tribes throughout the state.seventeenth-century jesuit missionaries were the first europeans to visit the area.during french exploration of the region in 1620, the region was sparsely populated and occupied by the agrarian erie people in the south and the wenrohronon (wenro) of the neutral nation in the north.the neutral grew tobacco and hemp to trade with the iroquois, who traded furs with the french for european goods.the tribes used animal- and war paths to travel and move goods across what today is new york state.(centuries later, these same paths were gradually improved, then paved, then developed into major modern roads.)during the beaver wars in the mid-17th century the senecas partly wiped out and partly absorbed the erie and neutrals in the region.native americans did not settle along buffalo creek permanently until 1780, when displaced senecas were relocated from fort niagara.louis hennepin and sieur de la salle explored the upper niagara and ontario regions in the late 1670s.in 1679, la salle's ship, le griffon, became the first to sail above niagara falls near cayuga creek.baron de lahontan visited the site of buffalo in 1687.a small french settlement along buffalo creek lasted for only a year (1758). | travelling | hoast | nonpreparative <tsp> travelling | autostability | cardiometric | no related information |

the battle of france (french: bataille de france) (10 may – 25 june 1940), also known as the western campaign (westfeldzug), the french campaign (german: frankreichfeldzug, campagne de france) and the fall of france, was the german invasion of france during the second world war.france and the low countries were conquered, ending land operations on the western front until the normandy landings on 6 june 1944.on 3 september 1939, france declared war on germany following the german invasion of poland.in early september 1939, france began the limited saar offensive but by mid-october had withdrawn to their start lines.german armies invaded belgium, luxembourg, the netherlands, and france on 10 may 1940.in fall gelb ('case yellow'), german armoured units made a surprise push through the ardennes and then along the somme valley, cutting off and surrounding the allied units that had advanced into belgium to meet the german armies there.british, belgian and french forces were pushed back to the sea by the germans; the british and french navies evacuated the encircled elements of the british expeditionary force (bef) and the french and belgian armies from dunkirk in operation dynamo.german forces began fall rot ('case red') on 5 june 1940.the sixty remaining french divisions and the two british divisions in france made a determined stand on the somme and aisne rivers but were defeated by the german combination of air superiority and armoured mobility.german armies outflanked the intact maginot line and pushed deep into france, occupying paris unopposed on 14 june.after the flight of the french government and the collapse of the french army, german commanders met with french officials on 18 june to negotiate an end to hostilities.italy entered the war on the german side on 10 june 1940 and attempted an invasion of france.on 22 june 1940, the second armistice at compiègne was signed by france and germany.the neutral vichy government led by marshal philippe pétain replaced the third republic and german military occupation began along the french north sea and atlantic coasts and their hinterlands.the italian invasion of france over the alps took a small amount of ground and after the armistice, italy occupied a small area in the south-east.the vichy regime retained the zone libre (free zone) in the south.following the allied invasion of french north africa in november 1942, in case anton, the germans and italians took control of the zone until france was liberated by the allies in 1944.the line was intended to economise on manpower and deter a german invasion across the franco–german border by diverting it into belgium, which could then be met by the best divisions of the french army.the war would take place outside french territory, avoiding the destruction of the first world war.the main section of the maginot line ran from the swiss border and ended at longwy; the hills and woods of the ardennes region were thought to cover the area to the north.general philippe pétain declared the ardennes to be 'impenetrable' as long as 'special provisions' were taken to destroy an invasion force as it emerged from the ardennes by a pincer attack.the french commander-in-chief, maurice gamelin also believed the area to be safe from attack, noting it 'never favoured large operations'.french war games, held in 1938, of a hypothetical german armoured attack through the ardennes, left the army with the impression that the region was still largely impenetrable and that this, along with the obstacle of the meuse river, would allow the french time to bring up troops into the area to counter any attack. | battle of france | commander | gerd von rundstedt | no related information |

the battle of france (french: bataille de france) (10 may – 25 june 1940), also known as the western campaign (westfeldzug), the french campaign (german: frankreichfeldzug, campagne de france) and the fall of france, was the german invasion of france during the second world war.france and the low countries were conquered, ending land operations on the western front until the normandy landings on 6 june 1944.on 3 september 1939, france declared war on germany following the german invasion of poland.in early september 1939, france began the limited saar offensive but by mid-october had withdrawn to their start lines.german armies invaded belgium, luxembourg, the netherlands, and france on 10 may 1940.in fall gelb ('case yellow'), german armoured units made a surprise push through the ardennes and then along the somme valley, cutting off and surrounding the allied units that had advanced into belgium to meet the german armies there.british, belgian and french forces were pushed back to the sea by the germans; the british and french navies evacuated the encircled elements of the british expeditionary force (bef) and the french and belgian armies from dunkirk in operation dynamo.german forces began fall rot ('case red') on 5 june 1940.the sixty remaining french divisions and the two british divisions in france made a determined stand on the somme and aisne rivers but were defeated by the german combination of air superiority and armoured mobility.german armies outflanked the intact maginot line and pushed deep into france, occupying paris unopposed on 14 june.after the flight of the french government and the collapse of the french army, german commanders met with french officials on 18 june to negotiate an end to hostilities.italy entered the war on the german side on 10 june 1940 and attempted an invasion of france.on 22 june 1940, the second armistice at compiègne was signed by france and germany.the neutral vichy government led by marshal philippe pétain replaced the third republic and german military occupation began along the french north sea and atlantic coasts and their hinterlands.the italian invasion of france over the alps took a small amount of ground and after the armistice, italy occupied a small area in the south-east.the vichy regime retained the zone libre (free zone) in the south.following the allied invasion of french north africa in november 1942, in case anton, the germans and italians took control of the zone until france was liberated by the allies in 1944.the line was intended to economise on manpower and deter a german invasion across the franco–german border by diverting it into belgium, which could then be met by the best divisions of the french army.the war would take place outside french territory, avoiding the destruction of the first world war.the main section of the maginot line ran from the swiss border and ended at longwy; the hills and woods of the ardennes region were thought to cover the area to the north.general philippe pétain declared the ardennes to be 'impenetrable' as long as 'special provisions' were taken to destroy an invasion force as it emerged from the ardennes by a pincer attack.the french commander-in-chief, maurice gamelin also believed the area to be safe from attack, noting it 'never favoured large operations'.french war games, held in 1938, of a hypothetical german armoured attack through the ardennes, left the army with the impression that the region was still largely impenetrable and that this, along with the obstacle of the meuse river, would allow the french time to bring up troops into the area to counter any attack. | ascaridole | correspondently | nonconsciously <tsp> ascaridole | thraves | arsenophenol | no related information |

the battle of france (french: bataille de france) (10 may – 25 june 1940), also known as the western campaign (westfeldzug), the french campaign (german: frankreichfeldzug, campagne de france) and the fall of france, was the german invasion of france during the second world war.france and the low countries were conquered, ending land operations on the western front until the normandy landings on 6 june 1944.on 3 september 1939, france declared war on germany following the german invasion of poland.in early september 1939, france began the limited saar offensive but by mid-october had withdrawn to their start lines.german armies invaded belgium, luxembourg, the netherlands, and france on 10 may 1940.in fall gelb ('case yellow'), german armoured units made a surprise push through the ardennes and then along the somme valley, cutting off and surrounding the allied units that had advanced into belgium to meet the german armies there.british, belgian and french forces were pushed back to the sea by the germans; the british and french navies evacuated the encircled elements of the british expeditionary force (bef) and the french and belgian armies from dunkirk in operation dynamo.german forces began fall rot ('case red') on 5 june 1940.the sixty remaining french divisions and the two british divisions in france made a determined stand on the somme and aisne rivers but were defeated by the german combination of air superiority and armoured mobility.german armies outflanked the intact maginot line and pushed deep into france, occupying paris unopposed on 14 june.after the flight of the french government and the collapse of the french army, german commanders met with french officials on 18 june to negotiate an end to hostilities.italy entered the war on the german side on 10 june 1940 and attempted an invasion of france.on 22 june 1940, the second armistice at compiègne was signed by france and germany.the neutral vichy government led by marshal philippe pétain replaced the third republic and german military occupation began along the french north sea and atlantic coasts and their hinterlands.the italian invasion of france over the alps took a small amount of ground and after the armistice, italy occupied a small area in the south-east.the vichy regime retained the zone libre (free zone) in the south.following the allied invasion of french north africa in november 1942, in case anton, the germans and italians took control of the zone until france was liberated by the allies in 1944.the line was intended to economise on manpower and deter a german invasion across the franco–german border by diverting it into belgium, which could then be met by the best divisions of the french army.the war would take place outside french territory, avoiding the destruction of the first world war.the main section of the maginot line ran from the swiss border and ended at longwy; the hills and woods of the ardennes region were thought to cover the area to the north.general philippe pétain declared the ardennes to be 'impenetrable' as long as 'special provisions' were taken to destroy an invasion force as it emerged from the ardennes by a pincer attack.the french commander-in-chief, maurice gamelin also believed the area to be safe from attack, noting it 'never favoured large operations'.french war games, held in 1938, of a hypothetical german armoured attack through the ardennes, left the army with the impression that the region was still largely impenetrable and that this, along with the obstacle of the meuse river, would allow the french time to bring up troops into the area to counter any attack. | battle of france | commander | hugo sperrle | no related information |

the battle of fredericksburg was fought december 11–15, 1862, in and around fredericksburg, virginia, in the eastern theater of the american civil war.the combat, between the union army of the potomac commanded by maj. gen. ambrose burnside and the confederate army of northern virginia under gen. robert e. lee, included futile frontal attacks by the union army on december 13 against entrenched confederate defenders along the sunken wall on the heights behind the city.it is remembered as one of the most one-sided battles of the war, with union casualties more than twice as heavy as those suffered by the confederates.a visitor to the battlefield described the battle as a 'butchery' to u.s. president abraham lincoln.burnside's plan was to cross the rappahannock river at fredericksburg in mid-november and race to the confederate capital of richmond before lee's army could stop him.bureaucratic delays prevented burnside from receiving the necessary pontoon bridges in time and lee moved his army to block the crossings.when the union army was finally able to build its bridges and cross under fire, direct combat within the city resulted on december 11–12.union troops prepared to assault confederate defensive positions south of the city and on a strongly fortified ridge just west of the city known as marye's heights.on december 13, the left grand division of maj. gen. william b. franklin was able to pierce the first defensive line of confederate lt. gen. stonewall jackson to the south, but was finally repulsed.burnside ordered the right and center grand divisions of major generals edwin v. sumner and joseph hooker to launch multiple frontal assaults against lt. gen. james longstreet's position on marye's heights – all were repulsed with heavy losses.on december 15, burnside withdrew his army, ending another failed union campaign in the eastern theater.confederate armies had been on the move earlier in the fall, invading kentucky and maryland.although each had been turned back, those armies remained intact and capable of further action.lincoln urged major general ulysses s. grant to advance against the confederate stronghold of vicksburg, mississippi.he replaced maj. gen. don carlos buell with maj. gen. william s. rosecrans, hoping for a more aggressive posture against the confederates in tennessee, and on november 5, seeing that his replacement of buell had not stimulated maj. gen. george b. mcclellan into action, he issued orders to replace mcclellan in command of the army of the potomac in virginia.mcclellan had stopped general robert e. lee's forces at the battle of antietam in maryland, but had not been able to destroy lee's army, nor did he pursue lee back into virginia aggressively enough for lincoln.mcclellan's replacement was maj. gen. ambrose burnside, the commander of the ix corps.burnside had established a reputation as an independent commander, with successful operations earlier that year in coastal north carolina and, unlike mcclellan, had no apparent political ambitions.however, he felt himself unqualified for army-level command and objected when offered the position.he accepted only when it was made clear to him that mcclellan would be replaced in any event and that an alternative choice for command was maj. gen. joseph hooker, whom burnside disliked and distrusted.burnside assumed command on november 7.the plan relied on quick movement and deception.he would concentrate his army in a visible fashion near warrenton, feigning a movement on culpeper court house, orange court house or gordonsville.he would then rapidly shift his army southeast and cross the rappahannock river to fredericksburg, hoping that lee would not move, unclear as to burnside's intentions, while the union army made a rapid movement against richmond, south along the richmond, fredericksburg and potomac railroad (rf&p) from fredericksburg. | battle of fredericksburg | commander | robert e lee | burnside's plan was to cross the rappahannock river at fredericksburg in mid-november and race to the confederate capital of richmond before lee's army could stop him.mcclellan had stopped general robert e. lee's forces at the battle of antietam in maryland, but had not been able to destroy lee's army, nor did he pursue lee back into virginia aggressively enough for lincoln.mcclellan's replacement was maj. gen. ambrose burnside, the commander of the ix corps.he would then rapidly shift his army southeast and cross the rappahannock river to fredericksburg, hoping that lee would not move, unclear as to burnside's intentions, while the union army made a rapid movement against richmond, south along the richmond, fredericksburg and potomac railroad (rf&p) from fredericksburg. |

the battle of fredericksburg was fought december 11–15, 1862, in and around fredericksburg, virginia, in the eastern theater of the american civil war.the combat, between the union army of the potomac commanded by maj. gen. ambrose burnside and the confederate army of northern virginia under gen. robert e. lee, included futile frontal attacks by the union army on december 13 against entrenched confederate defenders along the sunken wall on the heights behind the city.it is remembered as one of the most one-sided battles of the war, with union casualties more than twice as heavy as those suffered by the confederates.a visitor to the battlefield described the battle as a 'butchery' to u.s. president abraham lincoln.burnside's plan was to cross the rappahannock river at fredericksburg in mid-november and race to the confederate capital of richmond before lee's army could stop him.bureaucratic delays prevented burnside from receiving the necessary pontoon bridges in time and lee moved his army to block the crossings.when the union army was finally able to build its bridges and cross under fire, direct combat within the city resulted on december 11–12.union troops prepared to assault confederate defensive positions south of the city and on a strongly fortified ridge just west of the city known as marye's heights.on december 13, the left grand division of maj. gen. william b. franklin was able to pierce the first defensive line of confederate lt. gen. stonewall jackson to the south, but was finally repulsed.burnside ordered the right and center grand divisions of major generals edwin v. sumner and joseph hooker to launch multiple frontal assaults against lt. gen. james longstreet's position on marye's heights – all were repulsed with heavy losses.on december 15, burnside withdrew his army, ending another failed union campaign in the eastern theater.confederate armies had been on the move earlier in the fall, invading kentucky and maryland.although each had been turned back, those armies remained intact and capable of further action.lincoln urged major general ulysses s. grant to advance against the confederate stronghold of vicksburg, mississippi.he replaced maj. gen. don carlos buell with maj. gen. william s. rosecrans, hoping for a more aggressive posture against the confederates in tennessee, and on november 5, seeing that his replacement of buell had not stimulated maj. gen. george b. mcclellan into action, he issued orders to replace mcclellan in command of the army of the potomac in virginia.mcclellan had stopped general robert e. lee's forces at the battle of antietam in maryland, but had not been able to destroy lee's army, nor did he pursue lee back into virginia aggressively enough for lincoln.mcclellan's replacement was maj. gen. ambrose burnside, the commander of the ix corps.burnside had established a reputation as an independent commander, with successful operations earlier that year in coastal north carolina and, unlike mcclellan, had no apparent political ambitions.however, he felt himself unqualified for army-level command and objected when offered the position.he accepted only when it was made clear to him that mcclellan would be replaced in any event and that an alternative choice for command was maj. gen. joseph hooker, whom burnside disliked and distrusted.burnside assumed command on november 7.the plan relied on quick movement and deception.he would concentrate his army in a visible fashion near warrenton, feigning a movement on culpeper court house, orange court house or gordonsville.he would then rapidly shift his army southeast and cross the rappahannock river to fredericksburg, hoping that lee would not move, unclear as to burnside's intentions, while the union army made a rapid movement against richmond, south along the richmond, fredericksburg and potomac railroad (rf&p) from fredericksburg. | battle of fredericksburg | commander | robert e lee | burnside's plan was to cross the rappahannock river at fredericksburg in mid-november and race to the confederate capital of richmond before lee's army could stop him.mcclellan had stopped general robert e. lee's forces at the battle of antietam in maryland, but had not been able to destroy lee's army, nor did he pursue lee back into virginia aggressively enough for lincoln.mcclellan's replacement was maj. gen. ambrose burnside, the commander of the ix corps.he would then rapidly shift his army southeast and cross the rappahannock river to fredericksburg, hoping that lee would not move, unclear as to burnside's intentions, while the union army made a rapid movement against richmond, south along the richmond, fredericksburg and potomac railroad (rf&p) from fredericksburg. |

the battle of fredericksburg was fought december 11–15, 1862, in and around fredericksburg, virginia, in the eastern theater of the american civil war.the combat, between the union army of the potomac commanded by maj. gen. ambrose burnside and the confederate army of northern virginia under gen. robert e. lee, included futile frontal attacks by the union army on december 13 against entrenched confederate defenders along the sunken wall on the heights behind the city.it is remembered as one of the most one-sided battles of the war, with union casualties more than twice as heavy as those suffered by the confederates.a visitor to the battlefield described the battle as a 'butchery' to u.s. president abraham lincoln.burnside's plan was to cross the rappahannock river at fredericksburg in mid-november and race to the confederate capital of richmond before lee's army could stop him.bureaucratic delays prevented burnside from receiving the necessary pontoon bridges in time and lee moved his army to block the crossings.when the union army was finally able to build its bridges and cross under fire, direct combat within the city resulted on december 11–12.union troops prepared to assault confederate defensive positions south of the city and on a strongly fortified ridge just west of the city known as marye's heights.on december 13, the left grand division of maj. gen. william b. franklin was able to pierce the first defensive line of confederate lt. gen. stonewall jackson to the south, but was finally repulsed.burnside ordered the right and center grand divisions of major generals edwin v. sumner and joseph hooker to launch multiple frontal assaults against lt. gen. james longstreet's position on marye's heights – all were repulsed with heavy losses.on december 15, burnside withdrew his army, ending another failed union campaign in the eastern theater.confederate armies had been on the move earlier in the fall, invading kentucky and maryland.although each had been turned back, those armies remained intact and capable of further action.lincoln urged major general ulysses s. grant to advance against the confederate stronghold of vicksburg, mississippi.he replaced maj. gen. don carlos buell with maj. gen. william s. rosecrans, hoping for a more aggressive posture against the confederates in tennessee, and on november 5, seeing that his replacement of buell had not stimulated maj. gen. george b. mcclellan into action, he issued orders to replace mcclellan in command of the army of the potomac in virginia.mcclellan had stopped general robert e. lee's forces at the battle of antietam in maryland, but had not been able to destroy lee's army, nor did he pursue lee back into virginia aggressively enough for lincoln.mcclellan's replacement was maj. gen. ambrose burnside, the commander of the ix corps.burnside had established a reputation as an independent commander, with successful operations earlier that year in coastal north carolina and, unlike mcclellan, had no apparent political ambitions.however, he felt himself unqualified for army-level command and objected when offered the position.he accepted only when it was made clear to him that mcclellan would be replaced in any event and that an alternative choice for command was maj. gen. joseph hooker, whom burnside disliked and distrusted.burnside assumed command on november 7.the plan relied on quick movement and deception.he would concentrate his army in a visible fashion near warrenton, feigning a movement on culpeper court house, orange court house or gordonsville.he would then rapidly shift his army southeast and cross the rappahannock river to fredericksburg, hoping that lee would not move, unclear as to burnside's intentions, while the union army made a rapid movement against richmond, south along the richmond, fredericksburg and potomac railroad (rf&p) from fredericksburg. | coinage | teensy | hypercivilization <tsp> coinage | niggled | mirk | no related information |

the battle of gettysburg (locally (listen)) was fought july 1–3, 1863, in and around the town of gettysburg, pennsylvania, by union and confederate forces during the american civil war.in the battle, union major general george meade's army of the potomac defeated attacks by confederate general robert e. lee's army of northern virginia, halting lee's invasion of the north.the battle involved the largest number of casualties of the entire war and is often described as the war's turning point due to the union's decisive victory and concurrence with the siege of vicksburg.after his success at chancellorsville in virginia in may 1863, lee led his army through the shenandoah valley to begin his second invasion of the north—the gettysburg campaign.with his army in high spirits, lee intended to shift the focus of the summer campaign from war-ravaged northern virginia and hoped to influence northern politicians to give up their prosecution of the war by penetrating as far as harrisburg, pennsylvania, or even philadelphia.prodded by president abraham lincoln, major general joseph hooker moved his army in pursuit, but was relieved of command just three days before the battle and replaced by meade.elements of the two armies initially collided at gettysburg on july 1, 1863, as lee urgently concentrated his forces there, his objective being to engage the union army and destroy it.low ridges to the northwest of town were defended initially by a union cavalry division under brigadier general john buford, and soon reinforced with two corps of union infantry.however, two large confederate corps assaulted them from the northwest and north, collapsing the hastily developed union lines, sending the defenders retreating through the streets of the town to the hills just to the south.on the second day of battle, most of both armies had assembled.the union line was laid out in a defensive formation resembling a fishhook.in the late afternoon of july 2, lee launched a heavy assault on the union left flank, and fierce fighting raged at little round top, the wheatfield, devil's den, and the peach orchard.on the union right, confederate demonstrations escalated into full-scale assaults on culp's hill and cemetery hill.all across the battlefield, despite significant losses, the union defenders held their lines.on the third day of battle, fighting resumed on culp's hill, and cavalry battles raged to the east and south, but the main event was a dramatic infantry assault by around 12,000 confederates against the center of the union line on cemetery ridge, known as pickett's charge.the charge was repelled by union rifle and artillery fire, at great loss to the confederate army.lee led his army on a torturous retreat back to virginia.between 46,000 and 51,000 soldiers from both armies were casualties in the three-day battle, the most costly in us history.on november 19, president lincoln used the dedication ceremony for the gettysburg national cemetery to honor the fallen union soldiers and redefine the purpose of the war in his historic gettysburg address.such a move would upset the union's plans for the summer campaigning season and possibly reduce the pressure on the besieged confederate garrison at vicksburg.the invasion would allow the confederates to live off the bounty of the rich northern farms while giving war-ravaged virginia a much-needed rest.in addition, lee's 72,000-man army could threaten philadelphia, baltimore, and washington, and possibly strengthen the growing peace movement in the north.following the death of thomas j.'stonewall' jackson, lee reorganized his two large corps into three new corps, commanded by lieutenant general james longstreet (first corps), lieutenant general richard s. ewell (second), and lieutenant general a.p. | battle of gettysburg | commander | robert e lee | in the battle, union major general george meade's army of the potomac defeated attacks by confederate general robert e. lee's army of northern virginia, halting lee's invasion of the north.the battle involved the largest number of casualties of the entire war and is often described as the war's turning point due to the union's decisive victory and concurrence with the siege of vicksburg.after his success at chancellorsville in virginia in may 1863, lee led his army through the shenandoah valley to begin his second invasion of the north—the gettysburg campaign.elements of the two armies initially collided at gettysburg on july 1, 1863, as lee urgently concentrated his forces there, his objective being to engage the union army and destroy it. |
