| | | | | | Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Yuan Shikai - Becoming Emperor Tensions between the Kuomintang and Yuan continued to intensify. Yuan's crackdown of the Kuomintang began in 1913, beginning with the suppression and bribery of the KMT members in the two legislative chambers, followed by an orchestrated collapse of the KMT from local organizations. Seeing the situation worsen, Sun Yat-sen fled to Japan, and called for a Second Revolution, against Yuan. Subsequently Yuan gradually took over the government with support base from his military power. He dissolved both the national and provincial assemblies, rep ...

| | | | | Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Yuan Shikai - Evaluation and legacy With Yuan's death, China was left without any generally recognized central authority and the army quickly fragmented into forces of combatting warlords. For this reason he is usually called the Father of the Warlords. However, it is not accurate to attribute other characteristics of warlordism as his preference, since in his career as a military reformer he had attempted to create a modern army based on the Japanese model. Throughout his lifetime, he demonstrated understanding of how staff work, military education, and regular transfers of o ...

| | | | | Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Alma - The Final Stage The last act came on the far right of the Russian line where 10,000 troops were still unused and uncommitted. They were faced by the advancing Highland Brigade; a mere three battalions. Led by Sir Colin Campbell, the 93rd Highlanders, the Cameron Highlanders and the Black Watch were advancing in a dangerously thin line extended for almost 2,000 yards although in the smoke and confusion of battle the Russians were unable to see that it was only two ranks deep. The disciplined Highland Brigade advanced firing, a task difficult to accomplish in ...

Bousquet could not continue the advance without reinforcements, reinforcements that would not arrive quickly. On Bousquet's left, French troops under General Canrobert crossed the river but were unable to move their guns up the steep cliffs. To Canrobert's left Prince Napoleon's division were not even able cross the river. In the face of heavy fire from the Telegraph Hill their advance stalled and the tro ...

| | | | | Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Ukhaatu Khan - Struggles during the early reign Toghun Temür appointed his nephew El Tegüs as Crown Prince, and was in ward to El Tegüs's mother Budashiri. But he was controlled by warlords even after El Temür's death. Among them, Bayan became as powerful as El Temür had been. He served as minister of the Secretariat and crushed a rebellion by El Temür's son.
As he was grew, he came to disfavor Bayan's autocratic rule. In 1340 he allied Bayan's nephew Toghtogha, who was in discord with Bayan, and banished Bayan by coup. He also kicked El Tegüs and Budashiri out of the court. ...

He built up a reputation as one of the best defensive tacticians in the Wehrmacht and was renowned for his tenacity. For this reason, his officers and men nicknamed him Unser Giftzwerg: "our tough little bastard".

| | | | | Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Kata Noi Beach - 2004 earthquake and tsunami On December 26th 2004, the area felt a mild earthquake around 07:59 local time, which later turned out to be the repercussion of the massive 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake occurring at that time near Sumatra. Few people actually felt the earthquake, and no alarm was given, apart for casual radio broadcasts on the local Thai radio.
Kata Noi Beach - First tsunami.
Around 09:30 AM, as about 20 people were playing on the beach or bathing, the sea started to retreat by about 100 meters within the space of about 5 ...

| | | | | | Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Patti Smith - Beginnings She was born in Chicago, Illinois and raised in New Jersey. Her father was an atheist and her mother was a devout Jehovah's Witness (the intertwining of religious and sexual fervor that has suffused much of her work can probably be attributed to her upbringing). The family was not wealthy and, her formal education over at 16, Smith went to work in a factory – an experience she found excruciating. She also bore a child whom she gave up for adopt ...

| | | | | | Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Islam in Turkey - Islam's history in Turkey By the end of the seventh century, conversion to Islam had begun among the Turkish-speaking tribes, who were migrating westward from Central Asia. The initial wave of Turkish migrants converted to Sunni Islam and became champions of Islamic orthodoxy. As warriors of the Islamic faith, or gazis, they colonized and settled Anatolia in the name of Islam, especially following the defeat of the Byzantines at the Battle of Manzikert (1071). Beginning in the twelfth century, new waves of Turkic migrants many of whom belonged to Sufi orders, some of ...

| | | | | Retreats: Encyclopedia II - Islam in Turkey - The Alevi A significant Shi'a minority lives in Turkey. As in the Ottoman period, a census of the Shi'a population has never been taken in the republican period. Thus, there is no accurate information on the size of the Shi'a community, which has been estimated to constitute as little as 7 percent and as much as 30 percent of Turkey's total population. Sunni in Turkey tend to refer to all Shi'as as Alevi. In actuality, Alevi constitute but one of four Shi'a sects in the country. But Alevi are by far the largest Shi'a sect in Turkey, accounting for at ...
