Encyclopedia This section of the site offers an A to Z listing of all manner of World War I material. The encyclopedia currently includes some 3,100 entries chiefly comprised from other areas of the site. The encyclopedia by no means supersedes other sections - when looking for a particular bio or information upon (for example) weaponry in general it is usually quicker and easier to go directly to the relevant section; likewise when browsing for details of battles fought in a particular theatre, e.g. the Italian Front. Note however that an increasing number of articles - such as that outlining the use of the so-called Bangalore Torpedo - are added here on a standalone basis and are not associated with any other site section. Use the sidebar to the right to access material catalogued in the encyclopedia, listed alphabetically. A 'Tour' was a period of front-line service

Storia in network Andra världskriget | Historia | SO-rummet Andra världskriget (1939-1945) omfattade flera små och stora konflikter som utkämpades på olika ställen i världen. På den ena sidan stod axelmakterna som i första hand bestod av Tyskland, Italien och Japan. Den andra sidan utgjordes av de allierade som framförallt var Storbritannien, Frankrike, Sovjetunionen och USA.

Urban Dictionary, February 18: Please Advise Diogenes of Sinope? The most illustrious of the Cynic philosophers, Diogenes of Sinope serves as the template for the Cynic sage in antiquity. An alleged student of Antisthenes, Diogenes maintains his teacher’s asceticism and emphasis on ethics, but brings to these philosophical positions a dynamism and sense of humor unrivaled in the history of philosophy. Though originally from Sinope, the majority of the stories comprising his philosophical biography occur in Athens, and some of the most celebrated of these place Alexander the Great or Plato as his foil.It is disputed whether Diogenes left anything in writing. Table of Contents 1. The exceptional nature of Diogenes’ life generates some difficulty for determining the exact events that comprise it. Diogenes’ biography becomes, historically, only sketchier. Once in Athens, Diogenes famously took a tub, or a pithos, for an abode. 2. When Plato is asked what sort of man Diogenes is, he responds, “A Socrates gone mad” (Diogenes Laertius, Book 6, Chapter 54).
