Battle Of Bender 1713
A battle is an occurrence of combat in warfare between opposing military units of any number or size. A war usually consists of multiple battles. In general, a battle is a military engagement that is well defined in duration, area, and force commitment. An engagement with only limited commitment between the forces and without decisive results is sometimes called a skirmish. The word "battle" can also be used infrequently to refer to an entire operational campaign, although this usage greatly diverges from its conventional or customary meaning. Generally, the word "battle" is used for such campaigns if referring to a protracted combat encounter in which either one or both of the combatants had the same methods, resources, and strategic objectives throughout the encounter. Some prominent examples of this would be the Battle of the Atlantic, Battle of Britain, and Battle of Stalingrad, all in World War II. Wars and military campaigns are guided by military strategy, whereas bat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Anna Maria Elvia
Anna Maria Elvia (20 February 1713 - 8 May 1784), was a Swedish feminist writer. Biography She was the daughter of a professor, Petrus Elvius, the sister of the mathematician Per Elvius the Younger and married professor Mårten Strömer in 1757, all active in the Uppsala University. She belonged to the academical world in Uppsala and was given an unusually high education for a contemporary female, such as mathematics, astronomy and several languages including Latin. She was renowned and respected for her academic abilities. Jonas Lindeblad said of her in 1770, that she was known for her intellectual resources, despite her effort to remain discreet, simply because they could not be hidden. Elvia regarded intellectual development as not only a right but a duty for a female. This was a controversial idea of her time and she was alongside Hedvig Charlotta Nordenflycht one of few female contemporary writers to express it. She is quoted: "Our sex should make a habit of thus: to learn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
