Military Frontier - Ottoman wars.
The Ottoman wars in Europe caused the border of the Kingdom of Hungary and subsequently the Habsburg Monarchy to shift towards northwest. Much of the old Croatian territory was either captured by the Ottomans or bordered the new Ottoman domain.

| | | | | Ukrainians: Encyclopedia II - Religion in Israel - Judaism in Israel Most citizens in the State of Israel are Jewish, and most Israeli Jews practice Judaism in some form.
While Judaism has always affirmed a collection of Jewish Principles of Faith, it has never developed a fully binding catechism. While individual rabbis, or sometimes entire groups, at times agreed upon a firm dogma, other rabbis and groups disagreed. With no central agreed-upon authority, no one formulation of Jewish principles of faith could take precedence over any other. Judaism's core belief, however, firmly remains a binding principle agreed upon by Jews of all back ...

| | | | | Ukrainians: Encyclopedia II - Kildonan - Current riding The modern Kildonan riding was established in 1957, and formally came into being in the provincial election of 1958.

Joseph Stalin - Industrialization.
Main article: Industrialization of the USSR.

Under Stalin's direction, this was replaced by a system of centrally ordained Five-Year Plans in the late 1920s. These called for a highly ambitious program of state-g ...

Jewish Autonomous Oblast - Early history.
In prehistoric times the Amur River region was sparsely inhabited by independent tribes (notably the Daurs, Duchers, and Tunguses). They lived according to patrimonial and tribal laws, mainly on river valleys, especially on the banks of the Amur River and its tributaries. From the middle of the seventeenth century a gradual penetration by Russians into the region began. "Soldiers and people of industry, carrying out the Tsar's will, discovered new and new lands".
