Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Pope Alexander VI - The French in retreat

But a reaction against Charles soon set in, for all the powers were alarmed at his success, and on the 31st of March a league between the pope, the emperor, Venice, Lodovico il Moro and Ferdinand of Spain was formed, ostensibly against the Turks, but in reality to expel the French from Italy. Charles had himself crowned king of Naples on the 12th of May, but a few days later began his retreat northward. He encountered the allies at the Battle of Fornovo, and after a drawn fight cut his way through them and was back in France by November; Fer ...

Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Roman Britain - Occupation and retreat from southern Scotland

There is no historical source describing the decades that followed Agricola's recall. Even the name of his replacement is unknown. Archaeology has shown that some Roman forts south of the Forth-Clyde isthmus were rebuilt and enlarged, although others appear to have been abandoned. Roman coins and pottery are found circulating at native settlement sites in what are now the Scottish lowlands in the years before 100, indicating growing Romanisation. Around 105, however, a serious setback appears to have happened at the hands of the indig ...

Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Lord & Taylor - Expansion and Retreat

While a part of Associated and under the leadership of CEO Joseph E. Brooks, during 1970s aggressively expanded into Texas, Illinois and Michigan and in the early 1980s south Florida saw 11 stores opened in quick succession. Partially withdrew from the oil-shocked Texas and southern Florida markets in 1989-1990 after its 1986 acquisition by May.

Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Communists in the U.S. Labor Movement 1937-1950 - Factionalism Zig Zags and Retreats

After playing a leading role in the United Automobile Workers' victories in Flint and Chrysler in 1937, the CP found itself under sharp attack from its opponents within the UAW. Homer Martin, first president of the UAW, sought to drive out all of the left activists within the UAW in order to eliminate any rival contenders for power. Martin brought in Jay Lovestone, former executive secretary of the CP before his expul ...

Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Carl G. Fisher - Decline final project: a poor man's retreat

The losses in his real estate ventures and the Stock Market Crash of 1929 left Fisher virtually penniless. Always a man whose lifeblood seemed to be new dreams and projects, by the mid 1930s, he was living in a small cottage on Miami Beach and received a US$500 per month salary from his former partners to do promotional work. Shortly before his death, as what turned out to be his last project, Fisher developed and built Key Largo's Caribbean Club, a fishing club for men of modest means, "a poor man's retreat." Ever the promoter, Fishe ...

Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Yuan Shikai - Retreat and the Republic

The Empress Dowager and the Guangxu Emperor died within a day of each other in November 1908. Some sources indicate that the will of the Emperor had specifically directed that Yuan be executed. Avoiding execution, in January 1909, Yuan Shikai was relieved of all his posts by the regent, the 2nd Prince Chun (醇親王). The official reason advanced was that he was returning to his home in the village of Huanshang (洹上村), located in the suburbs of Zhangde prefecture (彰德府), now called the prefecture-level city of Anyang (安 ...

Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Hira - The first revelation

One night in the month of Ramadan, while Muhammad was meditating in Hira, he heard a voice declare, "Read!" Muhammad said, "I cannot read." (Muhammad was illiterate). The voice again said, "Read!" and Muhammad gave the same response. For a third time, the voice said more emphatically, "Read!". He said, "What can I read?" The voice replied: "Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth. "Createth man from a clot. "Read: And it is thy Lord the Most Bountiful "Who teacheth by the pen, ...

Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Long March - The rise of Mao

After several months of marching westward, harassed by the Kuomintang, the Communist Army was exhausted. Under these conditions, the Communists met in Zunyi in Guizhou province January 6–8, 1935. Here, they decided the future of the leadership of the communist party. On January 15, at Zunyi, the meeting which decided the future leadership of the party began. It lasted for three days. The generals of the Red Army and the old guards of the leadership sided with Mao Zedong and he was elevated to the position of Party Secretary. This gave him ...

Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Chief Joseph - Early life

Chief Joseph was born in the Wallowa Valley of what is now northeastern Oregon. He was given the name Hinmaton-Yalaktit (Hin-mah-too-yah-lat-kekt), which means "Thunder Rolling Down the Mountain." However, he was known as Joseph or Joseph the Younger because his father had been baptized Joseph by a Catholic missionary in 1838. In Glimpses of California and the Missions (1902), Helen Hunt Jackson recorded one early Oregon settler's tale of his encounter with Chief Joseph: Why I got lost once, ...

Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Chief Joseph - As chief

In 1871, Chief Joseph succeeded his father as chief of the Wallowa band of the Nez Perce. He inherited a volatile situation because some Nez Perce resisted the federal government's efforts to force them into a small Idaho reservation one-tenth the size of their native lands. In 1877, after U.S. Army cavalry threatened to attack, Chief Joseph and other leaders began the journey to the reservation. On a night that Chief Joseph was away from camp, a young Nez Perce man and his friends, avenging the killing of his father, attacked and killed a w ...

Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Perryville - The Kentucky Campaign of 1862

Situated between the Southern states of Tennessee and Virginia and the Northern states of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, the border state of Kentucky was coveted by both sides of the conflict because of its central location. So much so, in fact, that in September 1861, Kentucky-born President Abraham Lincoln wrote in a private letter, “I think to lose Kentucky is nearly the same as to lose the whole game.” Opposing viewpoints within the state vied for control during the early part of the war, and while the state never seceded from th ...

Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Sir Sandford Fleming Park - Dingle Tower

In 1908, Fleming donated the property to the citizens of Halifax for use as a park and proposed the construction of a tower within the "Dingle" to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the establishment of respresentative government in Nova Scotia; the province having been the first colony in the British Empire outside the United Kingdom to have such a form of government. An ardent imperialist, Fleming also intended the proposed tower to serve as a memorial to the development of parliamentary institutions in the British Empire, now the ...

Yuan Shikai was born in the village of Zhangying (張營村), located in Xiangcheng county (項城縣), depending from Chenzhou prefecture (陳州府), Henan province. Xiangcheng county has now become the county-level city of Xiangcheng (项城市), depending from the prefecture-level city of Zhoukou (周口市). Chenzhou is now called Huaiyang (淮阳), but it is no longer the head of the prefecture, having been replaced by Zhoukou. The village of Zhangying is locate ...

Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Te Kooti's War - Flight

Te Kooti and his men fled west and north into the King Country where the Armed Constabulary could not follow them - this would have been seen as a declaration of war. However Kepa and the Wanganui Maori could do so and were just acceptable to the King and his advisors. They continued the pursuit, officially sanctioned by the Government to do so. Gradually Te Kooti was forced north, reaching Taumarunui on 7 January 1870. At some stage he was joined by Kereopa, the infamous eyeball-eater from the Volkner Incident, and between ...

Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Te Kooti's War - Te Kooti

Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki was born about 1814 into the Ngati Maru sub-tribe of the Maori people in Poverty Bay on the south shore of East Cape. In his early youth he was very wild, causing a great deal of trouble within the tribe and the area. He then became a successful trader, sailing Maori-owned ships up to Auckland and competing successfully with the Pakeha traders. Unlike most of the Ngati Manu he did not convert to Pai Marire or Hau Hauism when that new religion swept through the district in 1865. In fact he opposed it actively during the ...

Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Te Kooti's War - Escape and Pursuit

On 4 July 1868 Te Kooti led a revolt that took over the entire prison complex, capturing the guards and the armoury. At the same time another party of prisoners captured the supply ship Rifleman, which had just arrived in port. There was only one casualty - a particularly disliked guard was killed against Te Kooti's orders. The next day the Rifleman sailed for the mainland carrying virtually ...

Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Te Kooti's War - Te Kooti Strikes Back

Early in November Te Kooti led his men back down to Poverty Bay, easily avoiding the government forces based in the area. On the night of 10 November, Te Kooti's men attacked the settlement of Matawhero in Poverty Bay. That night some 54 people were killed. Almost the first to die were the magistrate, Reginald Biggs, and his family. It was not random killing - the men who died had all been active in the process of alienating Maori land. Although now repugnant, it was seen then as appropriate that their families should die with them. Among those who died were also 20 Maori, again specifically targeted. Some of them at ...

Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Te Kooti's War - Te Kooti and King Tawhio

All the Government forces had withdrawn from the Ureweras by 18 May. Despite this the invasion was partially successful, the Tuhoe having had enough of their troublesome guest. In early June Te Kooti and about 150 of his supporters left the area moving towards Lake Taupo in the center of the North Island. At Opepe, just short of Taupo, they ran into a small party of Militia, who mistook them for their Maori allies: a costly mistake as nine of them were killed with no loss to Te Kooti. The Ringatu then continued on to ...

Disgruntled by this lukewarm response, Te Kooti and his people, maybe by now as many as 800, returned to Tokaanu on the southern shore of Lake Taupo on 18 August, and then a few kilometres further south to Te Porere at Lake Rotoaira, where he began to build himself a Pa. Meanwhile the enemy forces were gathering - both Pakeha and Maori armies they were moving towards Lake Taupo from all directions. McDonnell had been appointed by the government to lead the forces against Te Kooti. With a force of Armed Constabulary from Wanganu ...
