Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ... la hougue.1 may 19, 1692. Ik the year 1692 William iii. and Mary were joint rulers of Great Britain. James ii. was in exile, intriguing for return. Louis xiv., the Great Monarch, was on the throne of France in active sympathy with the dethroned ruler. In England there was a condition of political unrest, whose outcome the wisest could not predict. The Protestant party was in the ascendant, but the Catholic faction was powerful. France and Ireland were in sympathy with James, and actively aggressive, while the occupants of the throne were called "usurpers,"' and to a large number the idea of being ruled by an imported monarch was distasteful. Nevertheless, at the last, owing to the tyrannous rule of James there had been marked unanimity in the invitation to William of Orange to undertake the serious business of government for the English people. Tories, High Churchmen, and Whigs united in the request that he should intervene with "arms for the restoration of English liberty and the protection of the Protestant religion." This request was carried to the Hague by Admiral Herbert, the most popular of English seamen, who had been deprived of his command by a refusal to vote against the " Test." The Test Act was passed to insure the Protestant supremacy, and "required from every one in the civil and military employment of the State the oaths of allegiance and supremacy, a declaration against transubstantiation, and a reception of the sacrament according to the rites of the Church of England." 1 This battle is properly called La Hougue, after the second phase, or second day's battle. The first day's fight was creditable to the French, and was fought off Cape La Hague. The second day's fight resulted in an English victory. The French have...

Download or read book Naval Battles of the Twentieth Century written by Richard Hough and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2003-05-27 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major naval powers—Britain, America, Russia, and Japan—have all played a part in the theater of war at sea over the last one hundred years. Naval fighting has always been a rapidly developing affair, and in no century have changes been so swift and fundamental. In 1905, when this book begins, the first major engagement between ironclad fleets—the Battle of Tsu-Shima—took place in the Far East and decided the outcome of the Russo-Japanese war in Japan’s favor. What follows are the mighty sea battles of our century, graphically reconstructed for the reader. Victories, defeats, and mutinies at sea, from the battle with the Bismarck to the battles of Midway and Guadalcanal.
Download or read book Great Naval Battles of the Twentieth Century written by Jean-Yves Delitte and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the history of civilizations, sea power has always played a preponderant role. This symbol of a nation's scientific and military genius has very often been the deciding factor during major conflicts, putting the names of several clashes down into legend. With this collection, Jean-Yves Delitte and Giuseppe Baiguera plunge into the heart of three of the twentieth century's greatest naval battles. TSUSHIMA. Newly opened to the world, Japan found itself to be weak and subject to the whims of larger nations. What followed was decades of industrialization and modernization as Japan sought to catch up to advanced nations and control its own destiny. In 1905, when Japan's expansionist policies clashed with the Russian Empire over Korea, Japan was poised to flex its muscle and stun the world using the same naval supremacy that opened its borders half a century earlier. JUTLAND. May 31, 1916: the British Royal Navy and the German Kaiserliche Marine are preparing to confront one another in the North Sea off the Danish coast of Jutland. This will be the final great confrontation of World War I by sea and one of the greatest epic battles in the history of seafaring. Despite heavy losses, which are greater than the Germans', the English reaffirm their naval supremacy over the seas of the world, and Germany, all too conscious of having escaped disaster, will opt to confine the majority of its ships to its ports. MIDWAY. December 7, 1941: the Empire of Japan strikes an early blow against the United States Navy at Pearl Harbor. In just a matter of hours, the era of the battleship would come to an end and the age of the aircraft carrier would begin. In June 1942, the Imperial Japanese Navy and its carrier fleet would try to seize the initiative again by attacking the island of Midway. What unfolds is an epic carrier duel, the likes of which the world has never seen. In the end, Japan would never recover from the losses at Midway, and the United States would carry this momentum until Japan's ultimate defeat.
