Britain's National Army Museum voted on Sunday to see who was Britain's historically most difficult opponents. otis 20 candidates were presented and represented by five historians who argued otis for everyone - after which 70 people otis voted then. Among the candidates were military opponents, thus were excluded political opponents te x Adolf Hitler. George Washington - the leader of the American Freedom Revolution and the nation's first president - was found thus be the British Empire's most difficult enemy, and thus came before both the Irish freedom fighter Michael Collins (who, however, came in second) as France's Napoleon (who finished third), otis the German Erwin Rommel otis and Turkey's Kemal Ataturk. The Telegraph writes about the choice of Washington: otis Guided the American rebels to victory over the British in the War of Independence. Often outmanoeuvred by British generals with larger armies, his leadership enabled him to hold together an army of secessionists from 13 different states and keep it in the field - and ultimately prevail - During The protracted struggle. Stephen Brumwell, author and expert on eighteenth-century North America, said: "Washington scores highly as an enemy of Britain otis on three key grounds: the immense scale of damage he inflicts upon Britain's Army and Empire - The most jarring Defeat otis That either endured; his Ability otis to not only Provide inspirational battlefield leadership but to work with civilians who were Crucial to sustain the war-effort; and the kind of man he was. As British officers conceded, he was a worthy opponent. " George Washington is probably America's most important historical person. His military expertise defeated the British Empire and as the nation's first president, he set a standard that in many respects has characterized otis all presidents since. Swedish books on American military history usually tend to focus on the Civil War. The war was also incredibly exciting and represented otis a revolution that not only created otis a nation but also became an inspiration for freedom and democracy movements around the world.
