United Helicopters United Helicopters was formed in 1945 as a joint venture between Stanley Hiller and Henry Kaiser . The company made a very wide range of helicopters , including the world ' s first successful two - seat co - axial helicopter and several single - seater " commuter " helicopters . The company was also notable for making military helicopters , however , including the UH - 12 / H - 23 . While Bell Helicopter ' s notable UH - 1 contains the United Helicopter prefix " UH " , it actually competed directly against United ' s " Ten99 " and UH in that case was its military designation and not the Bell ' s designation .

Fall of Gallipoli The fall of Gallipoli to the Ottomans occurred in March 1354 . After suffering a half - century of a string of defeats at the hands of the Ottomans , the Byzantines had lost nearly all of their possessions in Anatolia . Access to the Aegean and Marmara meant that the Ottomans could now implement the conquest of the Peloponnese , Greece and further north into Serbia and Hungary . Occupation . During the Byzantine civil war of 1352 – 1357 , Turkish mercenaries allied to the emperor John VI Kantakouzenos plundered most of Byzantine Thrace and around 1352 were granted the small fortress of Tzympe near Gallipoli . On 2 March 1354 , the area was struck by an earthquake which destroyed hundreds of villages and towns in the area . Nearly every building in Gallipoli was destroyed , causing the Greek inhabitants to evacuate the city . Within a month , Suleyman Pasha seized the site , quickly fortifying it and populating it with Turkish families brought over from Anatolia . Aftermath . John VI offered cash payments to the Ottoman sultan Orhan I to vacate the city , but was refused . The sultan said he had not taken the city by force and could not give up something which had been granted to him by Allah . Panic spread throughout Constantinople as many believed that the Turks would soon be coming for the city itself . Because of this , Kantakouzenos ' s position became unstable , and he was overthrown in November of 1354 . Gallipoli was to become the major bridgehead into Europe through which the Ottomans would facilitate further expansion into Europe . In less than ten years , nearly all of Byzantine Thrace had fallen to the Turks , including Adrianople .

VS - 1 . 6 mine The VS - 1 . 6 is an Italian circular plastic - cased scatterable anti - tank blast mine . It has very few metal components and is resistant to overpressure and shock . The mine can also be deployed conventionally and from helicopter s . It was produced by Valsella Meccanotecnica , but production has ceased . Description . The mine is normally olive green or sand - coloured and is circular with two circular bands around the circumference , which act to cushion shock when the mine is deployed from the air . The fuse is air pressure driven with pressure on the top plate of the mine forcing air into a diaphragm which exerts pressure on the striker . Shocks from overpressure are too short to inflate the diaphragm ; additionally the striker must first rotate a locking collar before it can activate the mine , this requires gradual pressure giving even greater resistance to shock . The sealed nature of the mine means that it can be deployed in up to 1 meter of water The main charge of the mine is relatively small for an anti - tank mine , so it would tend to disable rather than destroy vehicles . An electronically fuzed version of the mine , the VS - 1 . 6EL with an integral electronic anti - handling device and programmable self - destruct fuze was also produced . The mine is found in Iraq , Kuwait , Lebanon , Burma and the Western Sahara .

This left Spain with its African possessions and the remainder of the Spanish East Indies in the Pacific , about 6000 islands that were tiny , sparsely populated , and not very productive , and that were both ungovernable after the loss of the administrative center of Manila , and undefendable after the entire loss of two Spanish fleets in 1898 . The Spanish government therefore decided to sell them . Germany then lobbied the Spanish government to facilitate the sale of the islands to Germany . The treaty was signed on February 12 , 1899 by Spanish Prime Minister Francisco Silvela .

During World War I , many of these German possessions were conquered by Japan and would remain under the control of the Japanese Empire as the South Pacific Mandate under the League of Nations until after World War II when the United States took control .
