The landing was only reported in the UK in 1978, although the UK government stated a rejection of the notion of sending a force of Royal Marines to expel the Argentine base, Corbeta Uruguay.
However a more serious confrontation occurred in 1977 after the Argentine Navy cut off the fuel supply to Port Stanley Airport, and stated they would no longer fly the Red Ensign in Falk ...

| | | | | Confronter: Encyclopedia II - Pope Gregory I - Confrontation with Eutychius In Constantinople, Gregory attracted attention in controversy with Patriarch Eutychius of Constantinople, who had published a dissertation on the corporeality of the imminent general resurrection, in which bodies would be incorporeal, to which Gregory contrasted the corporeality of the risen Christ. The heat of argument drew the emperor in as judge, Gregory using an interpreter, for he never learned the rudiments of Greek during his stay. Eutychius' treatise was condemned, and suffered the normal fate of non-orthodox texts, of being publicly burnt.
On Gregory's return to Rome he acted as fi ...

| | | | | | Confronter: Encyclopedia II - Multinational Force in Lebanon - Later confrontations and withdrawal French warplanes struck the Beqaa Valley in November, hitting Iranian Revolutionary Guard positions. They claimed this was in response to the barracks bombing. At this time, tensions rose between Syria and the United States as anti-aircraft batteries were fired at U.S. planes as they patrolled over Lebanon. This culminated in the first direct U.S. military involvement in Lebanon on December 4. After being fired upon by Syrian missiles, U.S. aircraft targeted Syrian missile batteries in the mountains east of Beirut. In the process, Syrian sur ...

| | | | | Confronter: Encyclopedia II - Greek Civil War - Confrontation: 1944 By the summer of 1944 it was obvious that the Germans would soon withdraw from Greece, because the armed forces of the Soviet Union were advancing into Romania and towards Yugoslavia and the Germans risked being cut off. The government-in-exile, now led by a prominent liberal, George Papandreou, moved to Caserta in Italy in preparation for the liberation of Greece. Under the Caserta Agreement of September 1944, all the resistance forces in Greece were placed under t ...

They remained hot on his trail, but always seemed to remain two to three days behind.
On August 1, with his band depleted and hungry, Black Hawk reached the Mississippi River near the mouth of the Bad Axe River. The Steamboat Warrior, a vessel which had been chartered by the U.S. Army approached the band and opened fire, even after Black Hawk waved a white flag of surrender. ...

| | | | | Confronter: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Yuan of Jin - Confrontation with Wang Dun By 320, Emperor Yuan's relationship with Wang Dun was at a breaking point, as Wang Dun had grown more and more arrogant and controlling of the western provinces. Emperor Yuan feared him, and therefore began to group men around him who were against Wang Dun as well, such as Liu Huai (劉隗) and Diao Xie (刁協) -- men of mixed reputation who, in their efforts to suppress the Wangs' power offended many other people. In 321, Emperor Yuan commissioned Dai Yuan (戴淵) and Liu with substantial forces, claiming that they were to defend against Later Zhao attacks, but instead was ...

| | | | | Confronter: Encyclopedia II - Sino-Soviet split - From split to confrontation After 1965, the Sino-Soviet split was an established fact, and the onset of Mao's Cultural Revolution severed all contact between the two countries, and indeed between mainland China and most of the rest of the world. The only exception to the freeze was Chinese permission for the transport of Soviet arms and supplies across China to support Communist North Vietnam in its conflict against the South and the United States in the Vietnam War.

Although their activities were always within the law, their views tended to arouse opposition from traditional and fundamentalist religious and political circles.
Their opponents succeeded at times in applying various administrative and executive mechanisms to obstruct or limit the effectiveness of the Republicans. Denied access to the media, all of which were state-owned at that time, the Republicans had to ...

| | | | | Confronter: Encyclopedia II - Negro league baseball - The Great Paige/Gibson Confrontation A frequently-told legend of Black Baseball involves Game Two of the 1942 World Series on September 8, focusing upon two of Blackball's most famous legends, Satchel Paige of the Kansas City Monarchs and Josh Gibson of the Homestead Grays in a legendary matchup. Unfortunately, a great deal of it is just that: legend and not truth.
According to the legend as frequently told in one form, Paige came into the game in the seventh inning with a 2-0 lead. He gave up a triple to leadoff batter Jerry Benjamin. With one man on and two out, Paige ...

| | | | | Confronter: Encyclopedia II - Bahá'í/Bábí split - Confrontations The public declaration of Bahá'u'lláh led to severe conflict, including accusations and murders.
This conflict exacerbated the agitations of the Persian ambassador in Constantinople who sought through misrepresentations to have the Bahá'ís removed even further from Persia than Bagdad. Eventually both communities were exiled to far-flung outposts of the Ottoman Empire--Famagusta, Cyprus for Subh-i-Azal and his followers, and Haifa, in Ottoman Palestine, for Bahá'u'lláh and his followers.

| | | | | Confronter: Encyclopedia II - Goanna - Goannas and humans
Goanna - Confrontations.
Like most native fauna, goannas are rather wary of human intrusions into their habitat, and will most likely run away (into the scrub, up a tree, or into the water, depending on the species). A goanna is a rather swift mover, and when pressed will sprint short distances on its hind legs.
Goannas also rear up when threatened, either chased or cornered, and also inflate flaps of skin around their throat and emit a harsh hissing noise. The larger goannas can reach around a man's waist, so they can ...

| | | | | Confronter: Encyclopedia II - Altalena Affair - Background As the British Mandate of Palestine was coming to an end, a group of Jewish leaders proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel (May 14, 1948). The declaration of independence was followed by the establishment of a Provisional Government and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). The process of absorbing all military organizations into the IDF proved complicated, and several paramilitary groups continued to be active outside the IDF. One of the largest groups, Etzel (Hebrew acronym for Irgun Tzevai Leumi, National Military Organization), ...

| | | | | | | Confronter: Encyclopedia II - Goanna - Characteristics Being predatory lizards, goannas are often quite large, or at least bulky, with sharp teeth and claws. The largest is the Perentie (Varanus giganteus), which can grow over 2m in length. They prey on all manner of small animals; insects, lizards, snakes, mammals, birds, eggs. Meals are often eaten whole, and thus the size of their meals depends on the size of the animal itself. However, the Perentie has been observed killing a young kangaroo, and then biting out chunks of flesh like a dog. Goannas have even been blamed for the death of sheep by farmers, though most likely erroneously, as goannas are also eaters ...

| | | | | Confronter: Encyclopedia II - Goanna - Habitats Goannas are found throughout Australia, except for Tasmania and manage to persist in a variety of environments. Most species are terrestrial, or ground dwelling. Prominent among these is the Sand goanna (Varanus gouldii – also known as the ground goanna or Gould's goanna), the most common of all goannas. They are often found in close proximity to a burrow or den, which may be a hollow log, or if in the plains a dug burrow which can be up to a metre (three feet) deep. They may even take over rabbit warrens. The far end of the burrow ...
