Americas First Battles
Abstract
Throughout the history, the importance of the first battles at wars was seen as factors that could not be overestimated for determining the outcomes of those wars. First battles can be outlined from the subsequent military operations in a sense that mostly they demonstrate the level of the armies preparations which in most case show irrelevant combat experience due to political influences rather than combat experience. As a support of such statements, examples of Americas first battles demonstrate that first battles are unique in their own way where they differ from subsequent battles, but nevertheless they play a decisive role in the outcomes of wars. In that regard, this paper showing examples of first battles states that the first battles often represent a certain obstacle and a disadvantage, which is compensated once the battle is over playing a role in subsequent battles outcomes.
