| | |  Niccolò Da Conti: Encyclopedia II - Vijayanagara Empire - FoundingThe founding of the original kingdom was based on the principality of Anegondi, based on a fortified town on the Tungabhadra river in the Deccan. In the century preceding the founding of the empire, the old kingdoms of the Deccan had been overrun by Muslim invaders from the north. From 1309, Malik Kafur reached and captured Warangal, later on reaching the Malabar kingdoms. Mubarak of Delhi reached Warangal again in 1323. Between 1334 and 1336, Muhammad Tughlaq of Del ...

| | | | Niccolò Da Conti: Encyclopedia II - Italian Renaissance - Origins
Italian Renaissance - Northern Italy in the High Middle Ages.
By the late Middle Ages, central and southern Italy, once the heartland of the Roman Empire, was far poorer than the north. Rome was a city largely in ruins, and the Papal States were a loosely administered region with little law and order. Partially because of this, the Papacy had relocated to Avignon, France. Naples, Sicily, and Sardinia h ...

| | | | Niccolò Da Conti: Encyclopedia II - Battleship - Industrial Age However, from the early 1840s onwards, several technological innovations started to revolutionize the conception of warships. Reliable steam power made warships much more maneuverable, and became the obvious choice against sail as soon as the issue of long-distance travel and re-coaling was solved. Naval guns with exploding shells, capable of penetrating wooden hulls and setting them on fire, were invented by the French Admiral Henri-Joseph Paixhans, and adopted from 1841 by the navies of France, England, Russia and the United States. Their ...

| | | | Niccolò Da Conti: Encyclopedia II - Battleship - The Dreadnought era With advances in gun laying and aiming, engagement ranges had increased from 1000 yards or less to 6000 yards or more over the previous few years, in part as a consequence of the devastating, but short-ranged firepower of the recently invented torpedo. This had caused a move away from mixed calibre armament, as each calibre required a different aiming calibration, something which unnecessarily complicated gunnery techniques. At longer ranges, the higher maximum rate of fire of the smaller calibres was negated by the need to wait for shell sp ...

| | | | Niccolò Da Conti: Encyclopedia II - Vijayanagara Empire - The empire at its peak In the following two centuries, the Vijayanagar empire dominated all of southern India, and was probably stronger than any other power in the Indian subcontinent. The empire during that period served as a bulwark against invasion from the Turkic Sultanates of the Indo-Gangetic Plain; and remained in constant competition and conflict with the five Deccan Sultanates that established themselves in the Deccan to the north of it. It remained a land power.
In about 1510, Goa, which had been under the rule of the Sultan of Bijapur, was captu ...

| | | | Niccolò Da Conti: Encyclopedia II - Battleship - Early battleships The origin of the concept of the battleship can be found in the "great ships", such as galleons, which had existed in several European countries since around 1410. These large Western ships were themselves preceded by the great sailing junks of the Chinese Empire, described by various travelers to the East such as Marco Polo and Niccolò Da Conti, and used during the travels of Admiral Zheng He in the early 15th century, and by the various cogs and busses in the Baltic Sea region, and ...

| | | | Niccolò Da Conti: Encyclopedia II - Battleship - World War I A naval arms race had been ongoing between Germany and the United Kingdom since the 1890s. The building of Dreadnought actually helped Germany in this, as instead of having a lead of 15 or so ships of the latest type, Britain now had a lead of just one. Furthermore, Britain's policy of maintaining a navy larger than the world's second and third largest navies combined was becoming unsustainably expensive. All other battleship navies switched over in the next few years t ...

| | | | Niccolò Da Conti: Encyclopedia II - Battleship - Post World War II After World War II, several navies retained battleships, but they were now outclassed by carriers. The Italian Giulio Cesare was taken by the Soviets as reparations and renamed Novorossiysk; it was sunk by a German mine in the Black Sea 29 October 1955. The two Doria class ships were scrapped in the late 1950s. The French Lorraine was scrapped in 1954, Richelieu in 1964 and Jean Bart in 1970. Britain's four surviving King George V class ships were scrapped around 1958, and Vanguard arou ...

| | | | Niccolò Da Conti: Encyclopedia II - Italian Renaissance - Development
Italian Renaissance - International relations.
Northern Italy was divided into a number of warring city-states, the most powerful being Milan, Florence, Pisa, Siena, Genoa, Ferrara, and Venice. Northern Italy was further divided by the long running battle for supremacy between the forces of the Papacy and of the Holy Roman Empire. Each city aligned itself with one faction or the other, yet was divided internally between the two warring parties. Warfare between the states was common, invasion from outside Italy le ...

Italian Renaissance - Literature and poetry.
Prior to the Renaissance, the Italian language was not the literary language in Italy. It was only in the 13th century that Italian authors began writing in their native language rather than Latin, French, or Provençal. The 1250s saw a major change in Italian poetry as the Dolce Stil Novo (Sweet New Style, which emphasized Platonic rather than courtly love) came into its own, pioneered by poets like Guittone d'Arezzo and Guido Guinizelli. Especially in p ...

| | | | Niccolò Da Conti: Encyclopedia II - Battleship - Fictional appearances The term "battleship" often makes an appearance in military-oriented science fiction, where they often occupy a role similar to their historical one. It should be noted that some writers have come to believe "battleship" is synonymous with "warship", and thus we see strange classifications like "light battleship" or "small battleship". Sometimes the futuristic battleships are large starships operating in outer space, rather than the open ocean.
Like the aircraft carrier, conventional ocean-going battleships both fictional and real have also ...

| | | | Niccolò Da Conti: Encyclopedia II - Battleship - World War II With the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922, the major navies of the world scaled back their battleship programs, with numerous ships on all sides scrapped or re-purposed. With extensions, that treaty lasted until 1936, when the major navies of the world began a new arms race. Famous ships like Bismarck, Prince of Wales and Yamato were all launched in the next few years. During the conflict naval warfare evolved quickly and battleships lost their position as the principal ships of the fleet. Most new-build World War II batt ...

| | | | Niccolò Da Conti: Encyclopedia II - Niccolò Da Conti - Account of his voyages Throughout his travels, he had abandoned Christianity for Islam, and he was requested by Pope Eugenius IV, as a penance, to relate his travels to the papal secretary Poggio Bracciolini. Poggio's recording of Niccolò's account, made in 1439, constitute one of the best accounts of the East by a 15th century traveler. They were included in the Book IV of his "DeVarietate Fortunae" (The Vicissitudes of Fortune).
Niccolò Da Conti's travels, which first circulated in manuscript form, are said to have profoundly influenced the European geo ...
