Raqqa ware
Raqqa ware or Rakka ware is a style of lustreware pottery that was a mainstay of the economy of Raqqa in northeastern Syria during the Ayyubid dynasty. Though the ceramics were varied in character, they have been identified during the 20th century by on-site excavations that securely linked the highly sought-after surviving pieces to Raqqa. However, Raqqa was not the only production site and Raqqa Ware has been found at various locations on the Euphrates, such as Qala'at Balis. The pieces typically have a white body covered in siliceous glaze, with decorations in brown luster or blue and back underglaze. The glazes most often vary in both transparency and shades of turquoise, however other colors were also used. Raqqa ware typically consists of kitchen items such as jars, dishes, and bowls with basic shapes that served everyday purposes such as storage. Some sculptural figures exist, and though their original purpose is debated, they are thought to be toys or decorations for the home.

Balis (Syria)
Balis (Arabic: بالس), also known as Barbalissos (Medieval Greek: Βαρβαλισσός) and Barbalissus (Latin), was an ancient and medieval fortress on the Euphrates River near the ruins of the still more ancient Emar.

The fortress town's own ruins are located at the modern Qala'at Balis (Arabic: قلعة بالس) in the Aleppo Governorate of northern Syria.

Kanzarashi

It consists of small dumplings made from glutinous-rice flour (shiratamako), cooled in natural spring water, and served with a syrup made from sugar or honey.

Shimabara Peninsula
The Shimabara Peninsula (島原半島, Shimabara-hantō) is a peninsula located in Nagasaki Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, Japan. The peninsula incorporates the cities of Shimabara, Minamishimabara, and Unzen.

The northern, eastern, and southeastern coasts of the peninsula face the Ariake Sea, and the western coast faces Tachibana Bay. An active group of volcanoes known collectively as Mount Unzen lies in the middle of the peninsula, with many hot springs, such as Unzen Onsen and the extremely hot Obama Onsen.

The peninsula was also the site of the Shimabara Rebellion, a 1637–1638 peasant and rōnin revolt led by Christians. This further reinforced distrust of Christians and foreigners by Shōgun Iemitsu and contributed to the 1639 decision to isolate Japan from the outside world. From then on, the Dutch and the Chinese were the only ones permitted to enter Japan through Nagasaki in a very limited fashion until Japan was reopened again.

Madonna of the Apple
Madonna of the Apple (Italian - Madonna della Mela) is a c. 1400–1425 terracotta sculpture attributed to Donatello or Luca della Robbia, with Jacopo della Quercia also suggested in the past. It is now in the Museo Bardini, in Florence.

Its collector Stefano Bardini recorded it as coming from Scarperia and attributed it to Lorenzo Ghiberti, though De Nicola held it definitely to be the work of Nanni di Banco. Krautheimer associated it with other Madonnas produced by artists from Donatello's circle such as the Kress Madonna in the National Gallery of Art, the stucco of Saint Andrew in Siena and the Madonna and Child in the Los Angeles County Museum. It is now generally thought to be an autograph work by Donatello, produced as a private commission around the time of his St John the Evangelist for the facade of Florence Cathedral (1409) or his St Louis of Toulouse for Orsanmichele (1423).

Trained as a goldsmith and sculptor, he established an important workshop for sculpture in metal. His book of Commentarii contains important writing on art, as well as what may be the earliest surviving autobiography by any artist.

Ghiberti's career was dominated by his two successive commissions for pairs of bronze doors to the Florence Baptistery (Battistero di San Giovanni). They are recognized as a major masterpiece of the Early Renaissance, and were famous and influential from their unveiling.

Battle of Tacna
The Battle of Tacna, also known as the Battle of the Alto de la Alianza, was a battle that took place on May 26, 1880, at the plateau of the Alto de la Alianza, a hill a few miles north of the Peruvian city of Tacna. It effectively destroyed the Peru-Bolivian alliance against Chile, forged by a secret treaty signed in 1873. During the battle, the Chilean Northern Operations Army led by General Manuel Baquedano González conclusively defeated the combined armies of Peru and Bolivia commanded by Bolivian President, General Narciso Campero.

As a result of the battle, Bolivia was knocked out of the war, leaving Peru to fight the rest of the war alone. The victory also consolidated the Chilean domain over the Peruvian department of Tarapacá. Following the signing of the Treaty of Ancón on October 20, 1883, the war concluded and the territory was definitively annexed to Chile. Tacna itself remained under Chilean control until signing of the Treaty of Lima in 1929.

Treaty of Ancón
The Treaty of Ancón was a peace treaty signed by Chile and Peru on 20 October 1883, in Ancón, near Lima. It was intended to settle the two nations' remaining territorial differences at the conclusion of their involvement in the War of the Pacific and to stabilise post-bellum relations between them.

Under the treaty's terms, Chile gained control over Tarapacá. Chile was also to retain the conquered provinces of Tacna and Arica for ten years, after which their fate was to be decided by a plebiscite, which was never held. The Tacna–Arica question would only be settled in 1929, through the mediation of the United States under President Herbert Hoover. This treaty, known as the Treaty of Lima, ceded Arica to Chile, while Peru regained Tacna and received USD $6 million indemnity and other concessions.
