GIVE PEACE A CHANCE
Give Peace a Chance I remember the day John Lennon was shot. It was December 8, 1980, and the news hit the world like a devastating storm. But it wasn’t just the loss of a singer or songwriter; it felt like the silencing of a philosopher, a man who used music to speak truth to power and feed the souls of millions.

The Epic of 1917
Before discussing the cannons of Mărăști, one must understand the deplorable state of the country at the beginning of 1917. Following the disastrous campaign of 1916, two-thirds of Romanian territory, including Bucharest, was under German and Austro-Hungarian occupation. The Government, the Royal Family, and the remnants of the army had retreated to Moldavia.Moldavia had become a vast refugee camp. Famine, the biting cold, and typhus were ravaging the population, killing more people than the enemy's bullets. However, amidst this apocalyptic landscape, a miracle occurred: the reorganization of the army. Under the guidance of the French Military Mission led by General Henri Berthelot, the Romanian soldier was rearmed, trained in modern warfare tactics, and, most importantly, restored to his dignity. King Ferdinand’s promises regarding land reform and universal suffrage transformed peasants into soldiers ready for the ultimate sacrifice.

There are also accounts suggesting that Muslims arrived in America prior to Columbus, as indicated by evidence of a mosque on American soil dating back to that era. Others argue that Marko Polo may have reached America. Still, among the majority, Columbus is recognized as the man who opened the gateway to the “New World.”

What Would World War III Look Like Today?
What Would World War III Look Like Today? When people imagine World War III, many still picture massive armies, tanks rolling across borders, and cities reduced to rubble by bombs. While traditional warfare would still play a role, a modern world war would look very different from the conflicts of the 20th century. Advances in technology, global interdependence, and new forms of power have changed how wars are fought—and how they affect the world.
