Some historians have erred in supporting historian Manuel de Oliveira Lima's contention that independence came without bloodshed. In fact, although both sides avoided massive set battles, they did engage in guerrilla tactics, demonstrations, and countermoves. There is little information on casualties, but the fighting provided a female martyr in Mother Joana Angélica, who was bayoneted to death by Portuguese troops invading her convent in Bahia; and an example of female grit in Maria Quitéria de Jesus, who, masquerading as a ...

Very little is known about British, as there are no written texts in Britain about the language. One of the few sources of information about the language in Britain is the names of British chieftains on coins. Continental European knowledge of the tongue is found in Latin or Ancient Greek texts; even then, it is limited to a few names of people and places. Therefore, we only know about British as it was during Roman times. British had always competed with Latin since the Roman invasion of 43 AD, at least, in major settlements. The Ang ...

The relief portrays Trajan's two victorious military campaigns against the Dacians; the lower half illustrating the first (101-102), and the top half illustrating the second (105-106). The two sections are separated by a personification of Victory writing on a shield. Otherwise, the scenes on the frieze unfold continuously and in tipped-up perspective. The imagery is not realistic as the sculptor pays little attention to perspective. Often a variety of different perspectives are used in the same scene, so that more can be revealed (e.g. a different ang ...

His marriage to Rita Morel was stormy and he became enamoured of 19-year-old waitress Marie-Ange Robitaille. In those days Quebec was strictly Catholic and divorce was almost impossible.

Throughout the 1950s an SST looked possible, but it was not clear whether or not it could be made economically viable. There was a good argument for supersonic speeds on medium and long-ange flights at least, where the increased speed and potential good economy once supersonic would offset the tremendous amount of fuel needed to overcome the wave drag. The main advantage appeared to be practical; these designs would be flying at least three times as fast as existing subsonic transports, and would be able to replace three planes in service, and thereby l ...
