Battle of Chernobyl
The Battle of Chernobyl was a battle in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. This battle was the Russian Armed Forces and the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The battle was on 24 February 2022. This was the first day of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Russian forces came from Belarus. At the end of the day, the Russians got control of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Background In the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, lots of radioactive materials came from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The radioactive materials then went into the environment around it. This area is a radius around the power plant. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, it became part of Ukraine and was managed by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine. Battle On 24 February, 2022, the Ukraine government said that Russian forces was attacking the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. At the end of the day, the Ukraine government said that Russia captured Chernobyl and Pripyat. After this, the American government said "credible reports that Russian soldiers are currently holding the staff of the Chernobyl facilities hostage." It was said that artillery shells hit radioactive waste. This caused more radioactivity. The International Atomic Energy Agency, however, said that "there had been no casualties nor destruction at the industrial site." Reactions Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the capture of that zone was "declaration of war against the whole of Europe". Mykhailo Podoliak, an advisor to the President's Office of Ukraine said that it was a "totally pointless attack", and "the condition of the former Chernobyl nuclear power plant, confinement, and nuclear waste storage facilities is unknown". Analysis Ben Hodges, a former general for United States Army Europe, said that the zone was helpful for Russia because it became easier to attack from the North. The former American Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense American Deputy Assistant for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia Evelyn Farkas said that Russia wants to surround Kyiv, Ukraine.

Broken Arrow (military)
Broken Arrow is a call (or request) for all available combat aircraft to attack enemy positions, even those close to the position of US troops. The reason for calling in that order, is because a US position is being overrun and can no longer be defended. Broken Arrow is a "code phrase (see code), that a [military unit on the] ground ... is facing imminent (or very soon) destruction from enemy attack and all available air forces within range are to provide air support immediately"; That is what Wiktionary.org says. In movies and books In movies, the phrase has been used in We Were Soldiers (2002). Its movie star is Mel Gibson. Part of the plot of the movie is that, at the point of being overrun by the enemy, the miliary officer (played by Mel Gibson), orders his forward air controller, to call in the air strike, by saying "Broken Arrow, Broken Arrow".

Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation
In February and March 2014, Russia invaded and annexed (or took over) the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine. This event took place after the Revolution of Dignity. It is part of the wider Russo-Ukrainian conflict. Beginning On 22–23 February 2014, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with security service chiefs to discuss how to save the deposed Ukrainian president, Viktor Yanukovych. At the end of the meeting, Putin remarked that "we must start working on returning Crimea to Russia". On 23 February, pro-Russian demonstrations were held in the Crimean city of Sevastopol. On 27 February, masked Russian troops without insignia took over the Supreme Council (parliament) of Crimea and captured strategic sites across Crimea, which led to the installation of the pro-Russian Sergey Aksyonov government in Crimea. This government held the Crimean status referendum, and declared Crimea's independence on 16 March 2014. Russia formally incorporated Crimea as two Russian federal subjects—the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol on 18 March 2014. After the event, Russia deployed more military on the peninsula and came with threats about using nuclear weapons so that Russia could keep its new power in Crimea (or solidify the new status quo on the ground). Responses Ukraine and many other countries condemned the annexation and consider it to be a violation of international law, as well as Russian-signed agreements safeguarding the territorial integrity of Ukraine, including the 1991 Belavezha Accords that established the Commonwealth of Independent States, the 1975 Helsinki Accords, the 1994 Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances and the 1997 Treaty on friendship, cooperation and partnership between the Russian Federation and Ukraine. It led to the other members of the then G8 suspending Russia from the group and then introducing a first round of sanctions against the country. The United Nations General Assembly also rejected the referendum and annexation, adopting a resolution affirming the "territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognised borders". The UN resolution also "underscores that the referendum [is not valid, and] cannot form the basis for any alteration of the status of [Crimea]" and called upon all states and international organizations not to recognize or to imply the recognition of Russia's annexation. In 2016, the UN General Assembly reaffirmed non-recognition of the annexation and condemned "the temporary occupation of part of the territory of Ukraine—the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol". The Russian government opposes the "annexation" label, with Putin defending the referendum as complying with the principle of self-determination of peoples. Names The conflict has many names. In Russia, it is known as accession of Crimea to the Russian Federation (), the return of Crimea () and the reunification of Crimea. In Ukraine, the names are also known as the Temporary occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol by Russia (), the illegal occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the fall of Crimea and the invasion of Crimea.

Constantine XI Palaiologos
Constantine XI Dragases Palaiologos or Dragaš Palaeologus (Greek: Κωνσταντῖνος Δραγάσης Παλαιολόγος, Kōnstantînos Dragásēs Palaiológos; 8 February 1405 – 29 May 1453) was the last Byzantine emperor, started in 1449 until he died in the Fall of Constantinople. His death became the end of the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) of the Roman Empire, founded by Augustus almost 1,500 years earlier. History Constantine was the fourth son of Emperor Manuel II Palaiologos and Helena Dragaš, the daughter of Serbian ruler Konstantin Dejanović. His early life is unknown, but from the 1420s onward, he is shown to be a skilled general. Based on his career, Constantine have been a soldier. He was trusted and liked by his older brother, Emperor John VIII Palaiologos. Constantine and John fended off an attack on the Morea (the Peloponnese) by Carlo I Tocco, ruler of Epirus, and in 1428 Constantine became Despot of the Morea and ruled the province together with his older brother Theodore and his younger brother Thomas. Together, they ruled to almost the entire Peloponnese for the first time since the Fourth Crusade more than two hundred years before and rebuilt the ancient Hexamilion wall, which defended the peninsula from outside attacks. Although ultimately unsuccessful, Constantine personally led a campaign into Central Greece and Thessaly in 1444–1446, attempting to extend Byzantine rule into Greece once more. In 1448, John VIII died without children, and as his favored successor, Constantine was proclaimed emperor on 6 January 1449. Constantine's brief reign would see the emperor grapple with three primary concerns. First, there was the issue of an heir, as Constantine was also childless. Despite attempts by Constantine's friend and confidant George Sphrantzes to find him a wife, Constantine ultimately died unmarried. The second concern was the religious disunity within what little remained of his empire. Constantine and his predecessor John VIII both believed a union between the Orthodox and Catholic Churches was needed to secure military aid from Catholic Europe, but much of the Byzantine populace opposed the idea. Finally, the most important concern was the growing Ottoman Empire, which by 1449 completely surrounded Constantinople. In April 1453, the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II laid siege to Constantinople with an army perhaps numbering as many as 80,000 men. Even though the city's defenders may have numbered less than a tenth of the sultan's army, Constantine considered the idea of abandoning Constantinople unthinkable. The emperor stayed to defend the city and on 29 May, Constantinople fell. Constantine died the same day. Although no reliable eyewitness accounts of his death survived, most historical accounts agree that the emperor led a last charge against the Ottomans and died fighting. Constantine was the last Christian ruler of Constantinople. He became known in later Greek folklore as the Marble Emperor (Greek: Μαρμαρωμένος Βασιλεύς, romanized: Marmaromenos Vasilias, lit. 'Emperor/King turned into Marble'), reflecting a popular legend which endured for centuries that Constantine had not actually died, but had been rescued by an angel and turned into marble, hidden beneath the Golden Gate of Constantinople awaiting a call from God to be restored to life and reconquer both the city and the old empire. After he died , The monarchy actually did not finish until 1512, and the last person to hold the title Roman Emperor was Francis I as Holy Roman Emperor. 1405 births 1453 deaths Byzantine Emperors

Ian Kershaw
Sir Ian Kershaw (born 29 April 1943) is an English historian and one of the most famous experts on Nazi Germany. Early works Kershaw started his job as a historian studying life in the Middle Ages, but in the 1970s he changed to studying Nazi Germany. He worked with Martin Broszat's study on what ordinary Germans in Bavaria thought about Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. He then did studies and books of his own, including The "Hitler Myth": Image and Reality in the Third Reich in 1987. Kershaw is also well-known for writing a biography (life story) of Hitler. This was written as two books, one published in 1998 and another published in 2000. Ideas One of Kershaw's most important ideas is the idea of "working towards the Führer". (Hitler called himself the "Führer", a German word for "leader".) This is his idea about why the Nazi government caused World War II, the Holocaust and other mass killings. Kershaw believes that they cannot simply be blamed on just one person, and it is more important to study the rest of the Nazi government and German society. However, unlike his friend Hans Mommsen, Kershaw does not believe that Hitler was a weak ruler. Instead, he thinks that Hitler was powerful but lazy. He believes that events like the Holocaust happened because Hitler's followers were working towards what they thought Hitler wanted them to do. Other writings Kershaw has also written many other books and worked as an advisor to documentaries. In the 2010s, he also wrote books on the wider history of Europe in the 20th century.

Even people
The Even (Even: эвэн, Russian: эвены) people are a native population of Siberia and the Russian Far East. They are sometimes called Ewens or Lamuts. Language Evens are Tungusic people. They speak their own language called Even. The Even language was unwritten until the Russians created a written language for them, using the Cyrillic alphabet. Some Evens also speak Yakut or Sakha, and live in the Sakha Republic. Most Evens live in parts of the Magadan Oblast and Kamchatka Krai. They share many things in common with the Evenki people. Evens are reindeer herders. They are nomads, which means they move from one place to another. Contact with Russians During the 17th century, Russians made contact with the Even people. They introduced diseases to the Evens, such as smallpox and influenza. Russians also made Evens pay the yasak, which meant they had to pay taxes to the Russian government with reindeer furs. Because of the new diseases and the reindeer population decreasing, the population of the Even people went down. Religion Evens' religion is a mixture of shamanism and Russian Orthodoxy. Shamanism is a belief that worships animals and nature. There are shamans, people who communicate with spirits. An Even shaman is called a haman. Evens believe in different kinds of spirits. One of them is a fire spirit called togh-muranni, which is very powerful. Ibdiril are spirits that help the haman. They can look like different people and animals. Culture Reindeer are very important to the Even people. They were traditionally sacrificed and used in special ceremonies. Reindeer were used for transportation, along with dogs. One group of Evens living on the Pacific coast didn't have as many reindeer, and depended on fish instead. Evens lived in clans. Even people had a custom called nimat, which meant that all of the fish and animals caught were shared with the whole clan. There are many kinds of folklore in Even culture. Nemkan are about people and animals. Teleng are long stories that are sung, often about warriors and heroes. Ike are short songs, and nenuken are riddles.

Sargon (chess)
Sargon (also SARGON ) is a chess program by the American developers Dan and Kathe Spracklen from the late 70's and 80's, which was considered the benchmark for its power and the comfort of the game at the time. The name derives from Sargon of Akkad (c. 2300 BC).<span typeof="mw:Entity" id="mwDg">&nbsp;</span>), former ruler of Mesopotamia . . History Inspired by a BASIC listing of an unfinished chess program that fell into the hands of the Spracklens around 1977, they decided to develop such a program themselves. They opted for significantly more efficient assembly language and used the 8-bit Z80 microprocessor from the American company Zilog, which had recently appeared on the market. The first version was released in 1978, and in the same year he won the March 3 - 5 Computer Chess Tournament in San Jose, California West Coast Computer Faire . As a result, other versions appeared, most numbered with Roman numerals (II, III, IV and V) (with the exception of Ver. 2.5), the last version (1991) being the version V.
