QUES: The town's first significant defences were likely erected due to commercial interests, following the temporary seizure of St. John's by the Dutch admiral Michiel de Ruyter in June 1665. The inhabitants were able to fend off a second Dutch attack in 1673, when this time it was defended by Christopher Martin, an English merchant captain. Martin landed six cannons from his vessel, the Elias Andrews, and constructed an earthen breastwork and battery near chain Rock commanding the Narrows leading into the harbour. With only twenty-three men, the valiant Martin beat off an attack by three Dutch warships. The English government planned to expand these fortifications (Fort William) in around 1689, but actual construction didn't begin until after the French admiral Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville captured and destroyed the town in the Avalon Peninsula Campaign (1696). When 1500 English reinforcements arrived in late 1697 they found nothing but rubble where the town and fortifications had stood.

QUES: The modern Standard Chinese exonym for the ethnic Tibetan region is Zangqu (Chinese: ; pinyin: Zangqu), which derives by metonymy from the Tsang region around Shigatse plus the addition of a Chinese suffix, qu, which means "area, district, region, ward". Tibetan people, language, and culture, regardless of where they are from, are referred to as Zang (Chinese: ; pinyin: Zang) although the geographical term Xizang is often limited to the Tibet Autonomous Region. The term Xizang was coined during the Qing dynasty in the reign of the Jiaqing Emperor (17961820) through the addition of a prefix meaning "west" ( xi) to Zang.
