80 Years Ago - The Real Story Behind the Attack on Pearl Harbour
1) The attack on Pearl Harbor was not unexpected or unprecedented as some claim. The British Royal Navy had previously attacked naval ships at anchor through surprise air attacks using torpedoes launched from aircraft carriers.
2) US military intelligence had intercepted communications indicating Japan would attack somewhere in the Pacific on December 7th, 1941 but President Roosevelt failed to warn military commanders or take other precautions.
3) Some argue Roosevelt deliberately allowed the attack on Pearl Harbor to occur in order to draw the reluctant US public into World War 2 to aid Britain against Germany. Classified documents from the time continue to be withheld from the public.

Fathers Day 2018: A Veteran Returns to Verdun to Honor the Dead
“The battle of Verdun was the longest, if not the bloodiest, single battle in World War I. Launched by the German Fifth Army on 21 February 1916, it did not come to an end until the final French counterattack was ended on 19 December 1916. For most of 1916, German and French soldiers fought tooth and nail for a few square miles of terrain around the French fortress city of Verdun, in what was the quintessential “battle of attrition” of World War I. Most units of the French army and many of the German army fought in what was described by both sides as the “hell of Verdun.” Between the battle’s start and the end of August (when the Germans ceased offensive operations), some 281,000 Germans and some 315,000 Frenchmen were killed or wounded. . . .”
- Dr. Robert Foley, Dean of Academic Studies/Head of Department at the Defence Studies Department, Joint Services Command and Staff College (JSCSC), the Defence Academy of the UK.

Gallipoli battle WWI
The document discusses the key causes of World War 1, including mutual defense alliances between European powers, imperialism and competition for resources in Africa and Asia, growing militarism and naval arms races between Germany and Britain, nationalism in the Balkans that pushed for independence from Austria-Hungary, and the immediate cause being the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria by Serbian nationalists. Conditions for soldiers in the trenches during WWI were difficult, as they had to endure muddy, cramped trenches infested with rats and lice while under threat of attacks, with little food and sleep. Both sides used various tactics and new technologies like

This document summarizes a Japanese article that provides a revisionist perspective on Japan's role in World War II, called the "Greater East Asia War" in Japan. The article argues that postwar generations in Japan have been taught that the war years were a "dark age" when Japan went mad, but that this obscures the reality of war by omitting the concept of an "enemy." The article asserts that Japan must re-examine the war openly and acknowledge the existence of enemies in order to understand the causes of war and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. It presents Fusao Hayashi's book "In Affirmation of the Great East Asia War" as an example of a review that fulfills this need
His 102 and 112 WWI power point
The document provides background information on World War I. It discusses the alliances between countries in Europe prior to WWI, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand which helped spark the war, how Germany's invasion plans failed and led to trench warfare on the Western Front, major battles like Gallipoli, the use of new military technologies, and the immense human costs of the war in terms of lives lost and societies disrupted. It also notes how the outcome and peace terms of the war led to issues like the rise of Nazi Germany and future conflicts.
World war i 1
World War I was a global war centered in Europe that began in 1914 and lasted until 1918. It involved over 30 countries and resulted in over 15 million deaths. The war started due to increasing nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and a system of alliances that drew the major European powers into war. The immediate trigger was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by Serbian nationalists. The war was fought mainly in trenches along the Western Front and resulted in new weapons and military technology but little movement in the battle lines. The United States entered the war in 1917 on the side of Britain, France, Russia, and Italy against Germany and its allies. The war ended with the defeat of
Reflections on the Road: The Gaza Strip and a Photograph I Didn't Take

The Philosophy of Disobedience in Military History
This document summarizes A.H. Amin's article on the philosophy of disobedience in military history. It focuses on a specific example of General Francois' disobedience of orders at the Battle of Tannenberg in 1914. Against orders to attack northeast, Francois instead attacked southeast, successfully encircling and destroying much of the Russian army. Though this ensured victory, Francois was later sidelined for disobeying his superior, General Ludendorf. The document analyzes how Francois' mission-oriented disobedience, while risky, achieved far better results than simply following orders would have.
The Polish Military Force
The Polish military in the early 1900s was the first to have an all-metal air force, but it fell behind other powers due to Poland's lack of industrialization. While Polish weaponry was comparable to other countries, they lacked quantity. During the evacuation of Allied forces from Dunkirk in 1940, over 366,000 men were rescued after the Germans allowed the infantry to catch up to their advancing tanks, creating a crucial window for escape. My legacy leader is CW3 Roach, who inspired me to be a proficient analyst and mentor through his example during my time in the 4th Infantry Division.

WWI Causes to Armistice
The document summarizes the key causes and events of World War I. It describes the alliance system between the Allied Powers (Triple Entente) of Britain, France, and Russia versus the Central Powers (Triple Alliance) of Germany and Austria-Hungary. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist sparked a series of diplomatic and military escalations that led Germany to declare war on Russia, followed by France, and ultimately Britain entering the war against Germany due to their invasion of Belgium. Over 9 million soldiers and civilians lost their lives during the four years of brutal trench warfare and new military technologies on land, sea and air.

3) The Allies faced heavy resistance and casualties at Omaha Beach but succeeded in gaining a foothold, eventually liberating Rome and pushing the Germans back across Europe over the following year.

My legacy leader is CW3 Roach, who inspired me to be a proficient analyst and mentor through his example during my time in the 4th Infantry Division.

WWI Causes to Armistice
The document summarizes the key causes and events of World War I. It describes the alliance system between the Allied Powers (Triple Entente) of Britain, France, and Russia versus the Central Powers (Triple Alliance) of Germany and Austria-Hungary. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist sparked a series of diplomatic and military escalations that led Germany to declare war on Russia, followed by France, and ultimately Britain entering the war against Germany due to their invasion of Belgium. Over 9 million soldiers and civilians lost their lives during the four years of brutal trench warfare and new military technologies on land, sea and air.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Tribute
- 2. Dedication Remembering when I was a young boy, I see my father looking at the toy models that I had built. How was I to comprehend that these toy airplanes and tanks would at one time, try to destroy him. I now try to put myself in his place and have come to realize what it must have been like for him and thousands and thousands of young men just like him. My father grew up on a farm in central Nebraska during the depression and at the outbreak of World War II, was called to join in the struggle to end that conflict. My father was a "Tanker" and served with the 1st Armored division initially and then the 753 rd Tank Battalion and eventually fought through seven campaigns. He fought through the same battles as would the most decorated soldier of the war, "Audey Murphy". He landed at Oran in Algeria, fought in Tunisia and fought Rommel's Afrika Korps at the famous Kasserine Pass. With the 753 rd Tank Battalion he invaded and captured the Island of Sicily. From the Island of Sicily they landed at the southern port of the Italian peninsula "Salerno". Fighting up the what Winston Churchill called the "soft underbelly" of Europe he fought for the one of the most contested mountains of the war "Monte Cassino". From there he joined in the landing at "Anzio" and then on to Rome. The war then took him to the landings in the South of France and eventually into Southern Germany. I now realize how the war, described in the stories he told me, knowing what he had seen and done, I now know how this affected him, and many others that also experienced war. In some small way I would like to think that the idea and motivation for this project came from him. The personal accounts that he conveyed to me of what he went through has been a giant reservoir that I have had to draw on. This project in its entirety is dedicated to my father.
