Â James II of Scotland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This murder did not remove the power of the Douglases, but rather created a state of intermittent civil war between 1452 and 1455.
James II of Scotland (October 16, 1430 â€“ August 3, 1460) was king of Scotland from 1437 to 1460.
But James' patronage of lands, titles and office to allies of the Douglases saw their allies begin to change sides, most tellingly the Earl of Crawford, and in 1455 James was finally able to make a decisive blow against the Douglases, and they were finally defeated at the battle of Arkinholm in May 1455.

This is a timeline of World War II in the form of a game log, covering the period beginning in the early summer of 1942 to the end of the war.
This site is about Axis and Allies, a Milton-Bradley Gamemaster series boardgame recreating World War II's situation during late spring 1942.
Assuming a game turn per season, the log is 14 turns long and reflects how the historical World War II would have looked like had it been an Axis and Allies game; or at least, how I think it would have looked like.

After the war, the victorious allies were in no doubt that Wilhelm II was personally responsible for the coming of war in 1914, and they included him on their list of war criminals wanted in connection with the atrocities of the war and the suffering that it had brought to millions of soldiers and civilians.
The Kaiser's birth, his upbringing and his resulting unstable character, his fraught relationship with his mother which was echoed in his subsequent love-hate relationship with England, the country which epitomised everything his mother stood for, cannot ultimately account for all the events that combined to produce the atrocities of the First World War.

By 1230, Frederick had defeated Gregory and his allies and the struggle between Frederick and the papacy settled down to a war of words, each advanced complex legal arguments in support of their rights in the dispute.

In his fiercely patriarchal kingdom, Mswati II had a monopoly on all wealth, land, and war spoils, and he could marry any and all women he choose (not a bad deal).
When the British finally allowed elections in 1964, the INM got 85% of the vote, giving Sobhuza the political confidence to cut ties with his white allies.
Mswati's death in 1865 sparked a ten-year war of succession that was only settled when a compromise candidate, Mbandzeni, was crowned in 1875.

While World War II continues to absorb the interest of military scholars and historians, as well as its veterans, a generation of Americans has grown to maturity largely unaware of the political, social, and military implications of a war that, more than any other, united us as a people with a common purpose.
World War II was waged on land, on sea, and in the air over several diverse theaters of operation for approximately six years.
The Americans wanted Sicily to be the last of the Allies' Mediterranean adventures, while the British continued to regard it as only the first step in what they hoped would be an all-out attack on the "soft underbelly" of Hitler's Europe.
