How can Russia be blamed for starting world war one?
08
Sep
I need details on how Russia can be blamed for causing world war one by mobilizing their troops. I don’t believe they were to blame, but I need to do this for a school project. I need reasons and evidence, like I understand the whole wanting to gain influence in the Balkan Peninsula and stuff, but I am having trouble proving it. And i need to more reasons and evidence on top of that.
How the world would be like if the Allies were to loose the war?

How do you think the world would be like if the Allies were to loose the Second World War? Which countries wouldl continue to remain free? Would N bombs be used by the Japanese and Nazis as they swallowed up the rest of the world? Would the US and the Soviet Union be forced into making unwarrented concessions? Would the world be as advanced as it is now?
Has a study ever been on this?

World War II SUBSCRIBE TO EXCELLENT WORLD WAR II VIDEOS Videos Running Time: 01:32:00 in 10 Parts “Battlefield: “The Battle of the Mediterranean” This fast paced episode of “Battlefield” chronicles the Axis and Allies battle of the Mediterranean up to the Allied invasion of Sicily. On September 13, 1940 the Italian 10th Army (Graziani) took advantage of the “The Battle of Britain” and launched an offensive into British defended Egypt. The Italian 10th Army numbering 250000 troops advanced 60 miles into Egypt against the British Western Desert Force’s (O’Connor) 35000 troops. The 10th Army organized fortified camps and immediately lost the initiative. Lieutenant General O’Conner launched a counter-attack and turned a 2 or 3 day attack into an offensive. The Italian 10th Army was almost completely destroyed in detail. Hitler’s assistance to the Italian 10th Army, by sending the Africa Korps (Rommel), helped save North Africa for the next 2 years. The Italian military was faced with the fact that the North African campaign became a German lead operation. On October 28th, 1940 the Italian Army invaded Greece through Albania. This offensive turned into a complete debacle. Within several weeks of the offensive the Greek’s counter-attacked, and cleared the Italians out of Greece. The Greek’s then pursued the retreating Italians into Albania. Mussolini faced the prospect of losing Albania. The Italians launched a counter-attack and failed to gain any ground. Hitler was again …

Precision Machining from World War II
07
Sep
CNC (Computer Numerical Controlled) machines for precision machining have not always been as sophisticated as they are today. The current design of CNC machines was originally developed from the work of John. T Parsons in the late 1940s. After World War II John Parsons was involved in creating helicopter paddles using the process of precision machining. Parsons discovered that by using a computer he was able to make more accurate guide lines for the complex shapes of the paddles than if he used the normal manual calculations and methods. From here the Air Force contracted him to develop an actual machine to cut the shapes of the paddles automatically. Parsons built a machine based on his earlier computer model to automatically cut the shapes based on the complicated calculations the computer could process. Although the machine worked and was the first of its kind, it was very large and very expensive to produce, but he fulfilled his duty and the machine was able to cut the shapes with high accuracy and detail.
Modern Precision Machining
From here other industries picked up on the idea of CNC machines for precision machining which resulted in the price being reduced and the improvement of the design. It is hard to trace the precise development of the machine from this point forward due to the many people, businesses, military, and industries developing the CNC machine for their own precision machining purposes.
The CNC machine today works by taking the complex calculations and information from the computer memory in the form of commands which then directs the machine to cut the material accurately. The commands to the program are complicated and in computer language such as ‘G99′ which instructs the controller to read an auxiliary input from some process inside the machine. The work of CNC machines today in precision machining is heavily focused on the programming. It is currently being developed for the machine and program to understand more conversational language oppose to complicated coded demands.

WORLD WAR II SECOND WORLD WAR VIDEOS The beginnings of MI5 (British Security Service) in World War II were not promising. The service was understaffed and overworked. The services long time inept director Vernon Hall was sacked and eventually replaced by David Petrie. With Operation Sea lion (The 1940 invasion of Great Britain) scrubbed by the Whermacht, MI5 would turn its organization into a highly valuable intelligence asset. And with MI6 and Bletchley Park, Great Britains intelligence network completely tricked the Abwher, SS SD and the German High Command throughout World War II. MI5 implemented was to be called the double cross system. Any captured agent was given the opportunity to transmit messages, under MI5 direction, back to Germany or be handed over to the British military to be hung or shot. Of the 115 agents captured by the British all were captured. Fifteen were turned over to the military and hung. Committees were then set up to control information that was feed back to the Abwehr through the crossed agent. The information had to seem valuable and accurate. Pieces of truths were mixed in with half truths to manipulate the agents controller. No other MI5 operation proved more valuable than that of agent GARBO. Amazingly enough GARBO was Spanish and not British. Juan Pujol (GARBO) was born in Spain in 1912. He fought during the Spanish Civil War against the Francos fascists. His loathing of Nazism grew from his deep hatred of the Spanish fascists. He was …

Blair Reveals Cheney’s War Agenda
Ex-British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s new memoir offers the expected rationalizations for his joining in an illegal, aggressive war against Iraq, even to the point of quibbling about the death toll. But Blair does reveal how much more war was favored by Vice President Dick Cheney and the neocons.
