Battles That Changed (American) History, Friday 1, 9-3

[screwyoumarvel]

"Good morning, everyone," Steve said once his class had assembled. "We're a small class, I see, and that's okay. American military history is bound to be rather niche. I'm your professor, Steve Rogers. You can call me Mr. Rogers. Professor seems a little formal. I'm from New York, New York, and I served in the American army in one of the wars we'll be covering--though it was fought on foreign soil, so it's a bit tangential, and now I'm getting ahead of myself. This class will be about battles, specifically, that have changed the course of history. Obviously there are a lot of impact factors on history and society besides military engagements, but that's not what this class is about. However, for those of you that aren't from the United States, I hope it will serve as something of a primer. And maybe you'll pick up a thing or two about tactics and strategy along the way. That's the idea, anyway. On to the next thing. I'm sure you're getting sick of it, but hopefully it'll be the last time: introductions. I'd like you three to please tell the rest of us who you are, where you're from, and why you're taking this class, and Mr. Boltagon, if you could just pass something around, that would be great."

"My name is Lion-o, and I'm originally from a planet called Thundera, which no longer exists," he began. "I'm 16, and I took this class because I am interested in tactics and strategy."
