SAMPLE FROM MODERN WAR #16 Putin as Warlord By Gilberto Villahermosa Any attempt to restore Russia to the military and political power it had during the Soviet era will require greatly expanded and modernized armed forces. A warlord, responsible for matching his country’s ends, ways and means would be needed to lead and direct those armies. By definition, a warlord is a supreme leader who exercises military and civil control over a large geographic area due to the presence of armed forces loyal to him rather than to any other authority. A warlord normally rises and acts within the framework of a weak central government and is unaccountable to anyone. A warlord, to be successful, has to be a man of vision, daring, strength and charisma. He must use those qualities to bind the nation and his military to him to accomplish his goals. Vladimir Putin is Russia’s warlord. A leader of strategic vision, he’s committed to restoring Russia to the glory of Soviet times. Among other things, he’s succeeded in reestablishing some of the relations severed after the downfall of the USSR in 1991. Today Russia’s military is present – if only in relatively small numbers – in Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova in the west, Armenia and Georgia in the Caucasus, and Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in Central Asia. Further, Moscow is increasing its military cooperation with Egypt, Syria and Yemen in the Middle East. The Russians are also penetrating the Seychelles, Vietnam, and Cuba.

War of the Austrian Succession Frederick the Great's First Fight by Joseph Miranda

VI that upon his death, the rule of his lands (those controlled by the Austrian branch of the Habsburgs) could be passed to a female heir. The declaration was intended to avoid any confl ict caused by the ancient Salic law forbidding ascension of a female to a throne. Without the Sanction, Charles’ passing with only a female heir would touch off claims on his territories, scattered across southern Germany and the Netherlands, by a variety of relations. Charles spent most of his reign courting the acceptance of the Sanction by the other crowned heads of Europe. Most agreed, though often at a price. Charles died on 20 October 1740, to be succeeded by his daughter, Maria Teresa. His death also vacated with its failure, Yeltsin felt compelled the offi ce of Holy Roman Emperor. to act directly.

Masuria: Winter Battle 1915

After the Tannenberg campaign of August-September 1914, East Prussia became a strategic backwater as both side focused their efforts in Poland. But the Russian threat remained, and the following winter the Germans set about cleaning up their northern flank. Gaza 1917: Gateway to Jerusalem A massive attack on the open right flank of the Russian Tenth Army sent it reeling; only the sacrifice of an entire corps in the Augustowo Forest enabled it to escape.
