Was The 'Rainbow' Division Tarnished By Its Battlefield Behavior In World War I?
by
David Homsher
It is a known fact that the U. S. 42nd ("Rainbow") Division took fewer German prisoners than did any other AEF division during World War I. The "Rainbow" established somewhat of a reputation for battlefield savagery, particularly at Croix Rouge Farm in the Marne salient of 1918, and during the Champagne-Marne Defensive of 15 July 1918.

The Great War - World War I
by
Shawna S. Ruppert
Up until the point of World War I, the world had never seen a conflict on the scale at which that war would be fought. It was known by many other names as well, although World War I trivia will show that it was most commonly known as the Great War. The name of World War I (commonly abbreviated as WW I) would not become used commonly until the outbreak of the second world war.

Quick History of World War Two - European Theater
by
Alastair Harris
The War's beginning? Some would say that World War Two began with Germany's Invasion of Poland on the 1st of September 1939 and the ultimatum of Britain that without a German withdrawal a State of War would exist. Needless to say there was no German withdrawal and WWII began, Britain, France, Australia and New Zealand declaring war on the 3rd of September 1939.

November 11th 1918 a famous day in history, the end of World War one. World War one the war to end all wars, a famous quote by then US President Woodrow Wilson, so right he should have been after the suffering and heartache endured by all nations involved, the awful conditions in the trenches and the horrific loss of life on all sides. An estimated total of over 65 million troops were deployed by all nations culminating in over 8 million confirmed killed, 21 million wounded and nearly 8 million missing or prisoners of war.

World War One Aka The Great War
by
Simon McShannon
The Great War or World War One was the most consequential conflict of the twentieth century. From the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria at the hands of Serb nationalists in June 1914 to the final armistice on the 11th November 1918, around 37 million people (military and civilian) had died as a result of the growing slaughter. A conflict which originally revolved around pacts, treaties and geo-political movements in central Europe in the summer of 1914, engulfed the rest of Europe by the end of 1914.

Indian Cricket

The usual morning haze will be starting to burn off when David Beckham strides out on to the turf at the Home Depot Center today to be unveiled as the glamorous new face of Major League Soccer. Not since Pele graced the long defunct New York Cosmos in the 1970s has the game across the pond boasted a name this glitzy. Yet, while LA Galaxy rejoice in their coup, the prevailing sense is that the entire domestic league is holding its breath to witness 'the Beckham effect' and gauge whether he can change the face of football in the United States.

South Africa Vs West Indies - Are West Indies Selectors Making Way for a Possible Brian Lara Return?
by
Basil C. Hill
The just concluded West Indies vs. South Africa 2nd Cricket Test Match, which South Africa obligingly accepted and evened the series, is an interesting case study of cricketing chess--if there is such a game. The West Indies won the first test in convincing manner and looked very much like the winning West Indies of yesteryear. What followed is not good cricket, but something else.

Emotional Expressions

Ameeta Agnihotri
Imagine what life would be if we did not feel the feelings we feel. Imagine if all of us walked around like zombies with an abstractly distant smile plastered on our faces just because we wanted to be happy all the time. Or, what would happen if all of us were angry all the time and felt like killing somebody when we won a lottery or got a fabulous hike in our pay packet!
