Did he possess any property in Ireland?--Anglius 21:36, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
If General Howe "succeeded" as commander-in-chief of British troops in North America between 1775–1778, why did the Treaty of Paris (1783) result in the recognition of the North American colonies as "thirteen free and sovereign States"? This article verges on NPOV in it's celebration of a "very capable", "daring, aggressive" British officer "knighted after his successes" seeking "to crush the" Americans. To me, this article reads as very Anglocentric in it's celebration of a 18th Century British war hero seeking to crush resistance to British colonial rule. The North Americans defeated General Howe -- why does Wikipedia describe Howe as a successful hero? 66.17.105.226 01:10, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
