Downing Street memo - Proponents of an inquiry.
In the United States, proponents of a formal congressional inquiry say that the minutes, along with testimonies from credible witnesses, shed sufficient doubt on the actions of the Bush Administration to warrant a formal inquiry. In particular, they say that the minutes indicate that the Administration was determined to go to war with Iraq prior to considerations of legality, and with full knowledge that, at best, "the case was slim." And furthermore that they selec ...

It was believed at the time that any declaration of war by Britain automatically included Australia, in part because of the very large number of British-born citizens and first generation Anglo-Australians at the time. By the end of the war, almost 20% of those who served in the Australian forces had been born in the Un ...

|  |  |  | United Nations Security Council: Encyclopedia II - Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda - TimelineMuch of the evidence of alleged links between Iraq and al-Qaeda is based on speculation about meetings that may have taken place between Iraqi officials and al-Qaeda members. What took place at those meetings is unclear, but often the mere act of meeting has been taken as evidence of substantial collaboration. As terrorism analyst Evan Kohlman points out, "While there have been a number of promising intelligence leads hinting at possible meetings between al-Qaeda members and elements of the former Baghdad regime, nothing has been yet shown d ...

|  |  |  | United Nations Security Council: Encyclopedia II - Military history of Japan - Modern PeriodAfter a long peace, Japan rearmed by importing, then manufacturing western weapons, and finally manufacturing weapons of their own designs. Japan became the first Asian nation to win a war against a European nation winning the Russo-Japanese War. It was also the first Asian nation to sign a mutual defence plan with a European nation, the United Kingdom. Japan was the last nation to enter the race to colonize the world. Severely hampered by still developing industries, Japan started its last major war against the United States with less than ...

|  |  |  | United Nations Security Council: Encyclopedia II - Saddam Hussein - Foreign affairsIn foreign affairs, Saddam sought to have Iraq play a leading role in the Middle East. Iraq signed an aid pact with the Soviet Union in 1972, and arms were sent along with several thousand advisers. However, the 1978 executions of Iraqi Communists and a shift of trade toward the West strained Iraqi relations with the Soviet Union, which took on a more Western orientation from then until the Persian Gulf War in 1991.
He made a state visit to France in 1976, cementing close ties with some French business and conservative political circl ...

Japan - Pre-history.
Archaeological research indicates that the earliest inhabitants of the Japanese archipelago migrated over land bridges from Northeast Asia about 30,000 years ago. Other evidence also suggests that some may have later come by sea from Southeast Asia during a period of migration toward the Pacific Ocean.
The first signs of civilization appeared around 10,000 BC with the Jomon culture, characterized by a Mesolithic to Neolithic semi-sedentary hunter-gatherer lifestyle of pit dwelling and ...

Menachem Begin - Forcing the British out of Palestine.
Begin quickly made a name for himself as a fierce critic of mainstream Zionist groups as being too co-operative with the "colonial" British, and as a proponent of military action against the British as necessary to achieve independence. In 1942, while the British were fighting Nazi Germany, he joined the Irgun (Etzel) and in 1947 assumed its leadership. He was determined to force the British government to remove its troops entirely from Palestine. He c ...
