Taiheiki The is a Japan ese fictional history . It is an historical epic ( see " gunki monogatari " ) written in the late 14th century . It deals primarily with the Nanboku - chō , the period of war between the Northern Court of Ashikaga Takauji in Kyoto , and the Southern Court of Emperor Go - Daigo in Yoshino . Original work . The latest English translation consists of 12 chapters of the 40 - chapter epic , and spans the period from Go - Daigo ' s accession in 1318 ( when Takauji was still a minor vassal of the Kamakura shogunate ' s Hōjō clan ) , through Takauji ' s betrayal of the Hōjō , and Go - Daigo ' s fall and expulsion by Takauji in 1333 , to his return to Kyoto in 1338 . Go - Daigo , unlike many of the emperors before him , sought to supersede the power of the shogun s , and to actually rule in addition to reigning in name . Thus began a series of battles , both military and political , as the Fujiwara family , who dominated the Imperial regency following the fall of the Hōjō , sought to retain influence . These battles , political maneuvers , and other developments of the time are related in the " Taiheiki " . Historical significance . These battles are historically very important as they led to the extinction of the Southern Court of the Japanese Imperial Line , which to this day is seen as legitimate . In fact , Northern Court members are officially called pretender s . One Southern Court descendant , Kumazawa Hiromichi , proclaimed himself Japan ' s Emperor after World War 2 , calling Emperor Hirohito a fraud , as Hirohito ' s entire line is descended from the Northern Court . Despite this , he was not arrested for lèse majesté , even when donning the Imperial Crest , because he had a koseki detailing his bloodline back to Go - Daigo in Yoshino , but has been unsuccessful at creating any political change other than sympathy . Analysis . Like most Japanese historical epics , the " Taiheiki " ' s tendencies towards drama and exaggeration are acknowledged , but the text is regarded as remaining mostly accurate . It is the primary source on many of the warriors and battles of this period , and also documents elements of the fall of the powerful and historically important Hōjō clan . Remakes . NHK ' s 1991 taiga drama " Taiheiki " was noted for its portrayal of Ashikaga Takauji as an agent of change against the decadent Hōjō , rather than a national traitor as generally viewed by Japanese historians .

Villers - Bretonneux Villers - Bretonneux is a commune in the Somme department in Picardie in northern France . Geography . Villers - Bretonneux is situated some 19 km due east of Amiens , on the D1029 road and the A29 motorway . History - World War I . In the First World War , on 24 of April 1918 , the small town of Villers - Bretonneux was the site of the world ' s first battle between two tank forces : three British Mark IV s against three German A7V s . The Germans took the town , but that night and the next day it was recaptured by 4th and 5th Division of the AIF at a cost of over twelve hundred Australian lives . The town ' s mayor spoke of the Australian troops on 14 July 1919 when unveiling a memorial in their honour : " " The first inhabitants of Villers - Bretonneux to re - establish themselves in the ruins of what was once a flourishing little town have , by means of donations , shown a desire to thank the valorous Australian Armies , who with the spontaneous enthusiasm and characteristic dash of their race , in a few hours drove out an enemy ten times their number . . . They offer a memorial tablet , a gift which is but the least expression of their gratitude , compared with the brilliant feat which was accomplished by the sons of Australia . . . Soldiers of Australia , whose brothers lie here in French soil , be assured that your memory will always be kept alive , and that the burial places of your dead will always be respected and cared for . . . " " The people of Villers - Bretonneux continue to express gratitude to Australia to this day . The Australian War Memorial in France is located just outside Villers - Bretonneux and in front of it lie the graves of over 770 Australian soldiers , as well as those of other British Empire soldiers involved in the campaign . The school in Villers - Bretonneux was rebuilt using donations from school children of Victoria ( many of whom had relatives perish in the town ' s liberation ) , and above every blackboard is the inscription " " N ' oublions jamais l ' Australie " " ( Let us never forget Australia ) . The annual ANZAC Day ceremony is held at this village on ANZAC Day , 25 April , each year . Traditionally , Australian commemorations have focused on Gallipoli . However , the 2008 ANZAC Day commemoration focused on the Western Front , and a special dawn service marking the 90th anniversary of the battle of 24 / 25 April 1918 was held on ANZAC Day itself at Villers - Bretonneux . Places of interest . Delacour ’ s château , or , as the Anzacs called it , the " Red château " served as headquarters and billets for the Generals during the Battle of the Somme . Marshal Foch stayed there . At the end of fighting in November 1918 it became the local headquarters of the Imperial ( later Commonwealth ) Graves Commission . Later abandoned , it was extensively cannibalised for rebuilding materials . Its skeleton , which remained as a tourist attraction until 2004 , was razed in that year and all traces of it were removed to make way for a supermarket .

Howard D . Abramowitz Howard David Abramowitz ( June 18 , 1930 - April 9 , 1990 ) was notable for his legal battles , along with co - defendant John Henry Harmon III , contesting an undesirable discharge from the Enlisted Reserve in " Harmon v . Brucker " . In 1951 he was drafted and sent to service in the Korean War . After serving two years he was given a certificate of honorable separation and , as required by U . S . law , entered the Enlisted Reserve . Two years later , the U . S . Army concluded that he was a security risk due to activity in left - wing politics and to his membership in the Communist Party . In 1958 the U . S . Supreme Court ruled that soldiers ' discharges must be based solely on their military service records . Afterwards the Army upgraded Abramowitz ' s discharge to honorable . The ruling also led to reviewing the discharges of 720 other former soldiers .
Siege of Padua The Siege of Padua was a major engagement early in the War of the League of Cambrai . Imperial forces had captured the Venetian city of Padua in June 1509 . On July 17 , Venetian forces commanded by Andrea Gritti marched quickly from Treviso with a contingent of stradioti and conquered back the city , which had been garrisoned by some landsknechts hired by Emperor Maximilian I . In reply , the emperor raised an army , composed mainly of mercenaries , and decided to invade the Veneto in an attempt to reclaim it . In early August 1509 , Maximilian set out from Trento with some 35 , 000 men and headed south into Venetian territory ; there he was joined by French and Papal contingents . Due to a lack of horses , and generally poor organization , the army did not reach Padua until mid - September , which allowed the Venetian commander Niccolò di Pitigliano to concentrate what remained of Venice ' s army after Agnadello , as well as several companies of volunteers from Venice , in the city . The siege began on September 15 . For two weeks , Imperial and French artillery bombarded the city , successfully breaching the walls ; but the attacking troops were driven back by determined Venetian resistance when they attempted to enter . An assault by 7 , 500 Landsknechts in the Codalunga sector of the walls ( the one that was most bombarded during the siege ) was repulsed by mercenary commander Citolo da Perugia , whose mines killed 300 attackers and injured 400 others . By September 30 , Maximilian , unable to pay his mercenaries , lifted the siege ; leaving a small detachment in Italy under the Duke of Anhalt , he withdrew to Tyrol with the main part of his army . The defeat was a major loss of face for Maximilian , and the Holy Roman Empire would not attempt another invasion of Italy until 1516 .

Northampton - class cruiser The Northampton - class cruisers were a group of six heavy cruiser s built for the U . S . Navy , and commissioned between 1928 and 1931 . The " Northamptons " saw much action in World War II . Three ( " Northampton " , " Chicago " , and " Houston " ) were lost during the war . The other three were decommissioned soon after the end of the war , and scrapped in 1959 – 1961 . Design . The design of the ships was heavily influenced by the Washington Naval Treaty , which limited cruisers to a maximum of 10 , 000 tons displacement and a maximum main battery caliber of . The " Northamptons " were a reaction to the weight and cost of the immediately preceding , differing in several ways . The " Pensacolas " mounted a main battery of 10 guns in four turrets , a twin and superfiring triple fore and aft . In contrast , the " Northamptons " mounted 9 guns in three triple turrets , two forward and one aft , the layout followed in all subsequent U . S . heavy cruisers . Although armor was increased , the " Northamptons " turned out to be lighter than the " Pensacolas " , and nearly 1 , 000 tons below the treaty limitations . Freeboard was increased in the " Northamptons " by adopting a high forecastle , which was extended aft in the last three for use as flagships . These ships were also the first U . S . ships to adopt a hangar for aircraft , and bunks instead of hammocks . Their lighter than expected weight caused them to roll excessively , which necessitated the fitting of deep bilge keels . The immediately following was essentially a modified " Northampton " .
