But the Time Magazine article in which Atkinson was quoted went on to talk about the true failure of Stilwell's goals by saying that: The Chinese, exhausted by seven years of almost singlehanded war against Japan, were reluctant to give General Stilwell the troops he wanted for the Burma offensive; the Japs might suddenly crack down on them in earnest.
When the Japs began the drive that last week seemed on the verge of cutting China in two, Chiang Kai-shek's Government might well have felt that its go-slow policy was justified..."
This loss and the poor opinion in the U.S.A. caused the Americans to lose confidence in the Chinese troops.
Instead the U.S. focused all its resources on the island-to-island war in the Pacific.
Jawaharlal Nehru (also referred to as Pandit Nehru) (November 14, 1889 - May 27, 1964) was the first prime minister of India for 17 years immediately after 1947, when India became independent.
He was born in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India.
He died of a heart attack in New Delhi.
Under British rule, Nehru was jailed many times.
During these periods, he used to write long letters to his daughter, Indira, on Indian and World history.
These letters were remarkably well written and became very successful books when published later as Glimpses of World History and The Discovery of India.

The Black Sea is a sea in Eurasia between Europe, Caucasus, and Anatolia.
Many rivers flow to the Black Sea, including the big rivers, the Don, Danube, Dniester and Dnieper.
It is connected to the Atlantic Ocean through the Bosphorus strait, the Sea of Marmara, the Dardanelles strait, the Aegean Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and the Strait of Gibraltar.
90% of the sea has no oxygen.
The water is saltwater but less salty than the ocean.
During the last ice age, the Black Sea was a freshwater lake.
In Greek mythology, the Argonauts traveled on the sea.
Greeks set up colonies around the sea because it was important to trade for many countries in ancient history.
The Gallipoli Campaign during World War I was a fight for access to the Black Sea.
It was also important in World War II.
The Black Sea sits on continental plates which have subsided.
It is a geologic basin, and therefore is a genuine inland sea.
Its maximum depth is about 2000 metres.
The Black Sea is the world’s largest basin where the deep waters do not mix with the upper layers of water that receive oxygen from the atmosphere.
As a result, over 90% of the deeper Black Sea volume is anoxic water.
The upper layers are generally cooler, less dense and less salty than the deeper waters, as they are fed by large river systems, whereas the deep waters come from the warm, salty waters of the Mediterranean.
The Crimean Peninsula divides this sea.
The Bosporus and Dardanelles connect the Black Sea to the Mediterranean.

Young Poland (in Polish: Młoda Polska) is a period modernist of Polish art, literature and music.
This period covered about the years since 1890 until 1918.
It was one of the effects of the strong opposition to the ideas of the positivism and developed the nature of decadence, of neoromanticism, of symbolism, of impressionism, and of the Art Nouveau.
The expression was known after one of the manifestos written by Artur Górski.
The manifesto was published in the daily (newspaper) Życie ("Life"), seated in Cracow, in the year 1898, and was immediately accepted in all the parts of the divided Poland, by analogy with other similar expressions as Young Germany, Young Belgium, Young Scandinavia and so on.
The first understanding was the usual modernist state of being disappointed by bourgeoisie, its way of life and its culture.
The artists who follow this understanding believed also in the decadence, in the end of all the culture, in the conflict between the people and its civilisation, and in the understanding of art as highest value (in Latin: ars gratia artis).
Among other writers there are Kazimierz Przerwa Tetmajer, Stanisław Przybyszewski, Wacław Rolicz-Lieder and Jan Kasprowicz.
The second understanding was the continuation of the romanticism, and for this reason is called neoromanticism.
The group of writers which followed this idea was less organized and the writers independently covered a wide area of subjects in their writings: from the sense of the mission of the Polish in the prose of Stefan Żeromski to the social inequality described by Władysław Reymont and Gabriela Zapolska, to criticizing the Polish people and to the history of Poland described by Stanisław Wyspiański.

In music, the expression Young Poland is put into use to an informal group of composers which include Karol Szymanowski, Grzegorz Fitelberg, Ludomir Różycki and probably also Mieczysław Karłowicz.
This group worked under the strong influence of the neoromanticism of the music, and especially of composers from another countries as Richard Strauss and Richard Wagner.
The composers would be also strong links with the The Five, a group of composers Russian which included Modest Musorgski, Alexander Borodin and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.
In the period of the Young Poland there were not any great artistic currents in Polish art.
The painters and the sculptors attempted to continue in the romantic tradition, in bringing new ways of expression already popular in another countries.
The more influential current was the Art Nouveau, even if the Polish artists started attempting also new forms of national style.
The sculptura just like the painture of the period were strongly influenced by all the forms of the symbolism.

Before the creation of the Russian Communist Party in 1918, its members were part of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party.
They made up a group within that party, which was called the Bolsheviks.
The first leader of the CPSU was Vladimir Lenin.
The first General Secretary of the party was Stalin from 1922–52.
The party led the 1917 October Revolution that overthrew the Russian Provisional Government during World War I. From 1918–25, the name of the party was Russian Communist Party.
From 1925–52, the name was All-Union Communist Party.
The Party took the name Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1952.
The Communist Party controlled all the government in the Soviet Union.
The party supported communist movements in Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa.
In 1990, during a big reform called "perestroika", or "restructuring", the party lost its position as the only party allowed.
The CPSU was dissolved in 1991, and continued as the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.
The new CPRF has sometimes been the largest in the Russian parliament, the State Duma.

Toroidal inductors and transformers are a kind of electronic component.
They typically consist of a circular, ring-shaped magnetic centre.
The magnet is usually considered a monopole, although the central axis will have a dipole, and have the advantage of being wound continuously in a single direction, thus there is no inductive interference between windings as in a solenoid that is wound back and forth.
Approximate inductance of a toroid includes formula, but assumes circular windings
The V-2 rocket () was the world's first ballistic missile and first human object to fly in space.
All modern rockets are based on the V2 design.
The first successful launch was from Peenemünde on 3 October, 1942, reaching a height of 192 km.
The V2 was designed by Nazis to bomb London, Antwerp and other European cities.
It travelled at four times the speed of sound so was impossible to shoot down.
The first V-2 used as a weapon exploded in Paris on 8 September 1944, with a second rocket exploding in London later that day.
Over 3,000 V-2s were used by the German Wehrmacht against Allied targets in World War II, resulting in the death of about 7,250 military personnel and civilians.
The victors used captured V-2 rockets to start their space and missile programs.
In the United States they were helped by the team of German rocket scientists from Peenemünde, led by Wernher von Braun.
They had surrendered to the US at the end of the war.
The first US-assembled V-2, made from parts captured in Germany, was launched from White Sands, New Mexico, in April 1946.
There were 66 V-2 rocket flights, the last on October 29, 1951.
In the late 1920s, a young Wernher von Braun bought a copy of Hermann Oberth's book, Die Rakete zu den Planetenräumen (The Rocket into Interplanetary Spaces).
Starting in 1930, he attended the Technical University of Berlin, where he assisted Oberth in liquid-fueled rocket motor tests.
In 1933 he went to work for the Army designing and building rockets.
The final, biggest rocket was the A-4, later called V-2.
On 22 Dec. 1942, Hitler signed the order for mass production, when Speer assumed final technical data would be ready by July 1943.
However, many issues still remained to be solved even by the autumn of 1943.
24,000 fighters could have been produced instead of the inaccurate V-weapons.

is a video game made by Compile in 1988.
It is played on the Nintendo Entertainment System.
The player controls a half-person half-robot woman to destroy a large alien moon before it gets to Earth.
To do this, the player starts ten devices in the moon.
Like Metroid.
The Guardian Legend got mixed reviews from Electronic Gaming Monthly and Nintendo Power.
People liked the game for how it looked, sounded, and felt.
Other people did not like the game because the play was the same.
It also had a very long password.
The game was not well known at first, but it is more known now.
It is an example of a game where players do different things.
In The Guardian Legend, the player controls the female guardian of Earth, a "robot transformer"; the Japanese version of the game calls her "Miria".
The player is to destroy the alien moon Naju before it gets to Earth.
The player needs to turn on the moon's self-destruct device and escape the moon before it gets to Earth.
Five alien tribes who try to control the moon stand in the way of the player.
To help players along, messages left by a person help guide them in finding the safety switches to turn on the self-destruct device.
These messages also help players get to some other rooms.
The player controls the Guardian in human form while walking on Naju's surface, called the "Labyrinth".
When in Naju, the Guardian turns into a spaceship in which the player can move around.
The Guardian has a life meter that drops when hit by alien attacks.
Players can pick up items to help fill the Guardian's life meter again.
If the life meter runs out, then the Guardian dies, ending the game.
The player can shoot at aliens with different types of weapons by pressing buttons on the gamepad.
Players get different and better weapons during play.
Round, colored creatures in the game named "Landers" appear in the game to help players.
Landers can help fill the Guardian's life meter and increase the number of times players can fire weapons.
Blue Landers may sell weapons to players.
They also give out passwords.
Passwords let players stop the game and come back to it later.
The player goes through the Labyrinth and find entrances to the Dungeon.
The ten safety devices are in the Dungeon.
The Labyrinth is made up of many rooms that are as big as the screen.
Players can look at a map to see where they are at.
This map can be looked at while the game is paused.
Players can either walk from one room to another, or they can go to another room through a "warp panel".
Some of these warp panels require the right key to go through.
Many rooms contain aliens.
Other rooms contain clues, shops, passwords, and entrances to the Dungeon.
The Dungeon contains areas in which the Guardian flies through as a spaceship.
The Dungeon has many aliens to destroy.
At the end of an area in the Dungeon, there is a boss, a very strong alien that must be destroyed.
After destroying the boss, the Guardian flies out of the Dungeon and back into the Labyrinth.
The player then gets a power-up.
The player may also receive a key for a warp panel.
Some entrances to the Dungeon are already open.
Other entrances need a certain task completed before going in.
Clues in the Labyrinth tell players how to get into these entrances.
The Guardian Legend was made for the Famicom and came out in 1988 in Japan.
It came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America in 1989 and in Europe in 1990.
The people who created the game were the same who created Guardic, Zanac, and Puyo Puyo.
Reviewers liked the game for its multiple features.
Some have compared the game to other Nintendo games like The Legend of Zelda and Metroid.
Mike Engler, who made Retro Game Challenge, said that "The Guardian Legend is one of the best games ever released".
The game was nominated by Nintendo Power magazine in 1989 for "Best Graphics & Sound", "Best Play Control", and "Best Overall" but did not win any of them.
Some of the music of the game were remixed.

Vengeance (2006) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), which happened on June 25, 2006 at the Charlotte Bobcats Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina.
It was the sixth yearly Vengeance event.
The buildup to the matches and the situations that took place before, during, and after the event were planned by WWE's script writers.
The event starred wrestlers from the Raw brand: a storyline expansion of the promotion where employees are assigned to a wrestling brand under the WWE banner.
The main event was a 5-on-2 Handicap match, a match consisting of one team of wrestlers facing off against a team of wrestlers with more people such as three against two, or five against two, between D-Generation X (DX) (Triple H and Shawn Michaels) versus the Spirit Squad (Kenny, Johnny, Mitch, Nicky, and Mikey).
Triple H and Michaels won the match after pinning Kenny and Mikey, respectively.
Two other matches were on the card.
In singles matches, John Cena beat Sabu in an Extreme lumberjack match, which featured wrestlers from the Raw and ECW brands at ringside.
The other featured match was for the WWE Championship, in which Rob Van Dam beat Edge to keep his title.
Vengeance made over $400,000 in ticket sales from an attendance of 6,800 and received 320,000 pay-per-view buys, which helped WWE increase its pay-per-view revenue by $21.6 million compared to the year before.
When the event was released on DVD, it reached the number one position on Billboard's DVD Sales Chart.
The event had eight professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in scripted feuds, plots and storylines.
Wrestlers played either villains or heroes as they followed a series of events, which lead to a wrestling match or series of matches.
All wrestlers belonged to the Raw brand – a storyline division in which WWE assigned its employees to a different program, the other two being SmackDown!
The main event scripted into Vengeance was between D-Generation X (DX) Triple H and Shawn Michaels versus the Spirit Squad (Kenny [Ken Doane], Johnny [Johnny Jeter], Mitch [Nick Mitchell], Nicky [Nick Nemeth], and Mikey [Michael Brendli]) in a 5-on-2 Handicap match consisting of one team of wrestlers facing off against a team of wrestlers with more people such as five against two.
The story for the match began after Backlash, Raw'''s previous pay-per-view event, where The McMahons (Vince and Shane) defeated Michaels and "God" in a tag team match, with help from the Spirit Squad in a no disqualification match, a match where neither wrestler can be disqualified, allowing for weapons and outside interference.
For weeks on Raw, Michaels got revenge on both Vince McMahon and the Spirit Squad, until the May 22 episode of Raw, where the Spirit Squad were scripted to injure Michaels' left knee.
Then, by orders of McMahon, Triple H was to "break Michaels' skull", with a sledgehammer.
Triple H failed to do what McMahon ordered and instead attacked the Spirit Squad, thus turning into a hero.
Two weeks later, McMahon put Triple H in a gauntlet match, against the Spirit Squad.
In the match, Kenny grabbed a steel chair and put it on Triple H's left knee, similar to what the group did to Michaels.
Mitch, who was the only member not participating in the match, was thrown out from the backstage curtain by Michaels.
Then, Michaels joined Triple H in the ring as they began to beat down the four members of the Spirit Squad.
This lead to Michaels and Triple H reforming D-Generation X for the first time since their teased reunion in 2002.
That same night, McMahon scheduled the Spirit Squad and D-Generation X in a 5-on-2 handicap tag team match.
On the June 19 episode of Raw, DX marked their return, when the duo humiliated the Spirit Squad as DX dumped green slime onto the group and embarrassed the team afterward, by beating them.
One of the featured matches was between John Cena and Sabu in an Extreme lumberjack match, a standard match with the exception that the ring is surrounded by a group of wrestlers not directly involved in it and competed under hardcore rules.
On the television debut of ECW on Sci Fi on June 13, a brawl broke out between Rob Van Dam and Edge.
Edge, who tried to leave through the ECW crowd, was attacked by Cena, because he caused Cena to lose the WWE Championship at ECW's One Night Stand, and Cena wanted revenge against Edge.
Following the attack, Cena went to ringside where he knocked ECW Representative Paul Heyman unconscious, after Heyman awarded the win to Van Dam at One Night Stand.
Following the attack, Heyman announced that all ECW superstars would be at Raw the next week.
The next week on Raw, Heyman appeared alongside ECW superstar, Balls Mahoney, who was booked to wrestle Cena in a match.
The match was won by Cena after he made Mahoney submit.
