Mamornița Border Clash
The Mamornița border clash was an incursion of Russian forces into Romanian territory during the Brusilov Offensive in World War I. As Romania was neutral at the time, the Russian forces left Romanian territory soon afterwards. Background The offensive of the Russian General Aleksei Brusilov in June 1916 was significantly impacting the Romanian public opinion. The Russian advance soon reached the Romanian border, on the Prut River. Border clash On 11 June 1916, in their pursuit of the Austro-Hungarian Army in Bukovina, Russian forces crossed the Romanian border. A Russian cavalry patrol crossed the Prut at Herța (Hertsa) and was disarmed and interned. Another patrol penetrated as far inland as Dorohoi. A proper armed clash, however, took place at Mamornița (Mamornytsia), where a Russian detachment crossed the Prut and overwhelmed the border guard. Aftermath In Iași, where fear and mistrust of Russia remained the highest, a "League for National Defense" was created. Despi ...

Battles Of World War I Involving Russia
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 the Battle of France, all in World War II. Wars and military campaigns are guided by military strategy, whereas ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ion I
An ion () is an atom or molecule with a net electrical charge. The charge of an electron is considered to be negative by convention and this charge is equal and opposite to the charge of a proton, which is considered to be positive by convention. The net charge of an ion is not zero because its total number of electrons is unequal to its total number of protons. A cation is a positively charged ion with fewer electrons than protons (e.g. K+ (potassium ion)) while an anion is a negatively charged ion with more electrons than protons (e.g. Cl− (chloride ion) and OH− (hydroxide ion)). Opposite electric charges are pulled towards one another by electrostatic force, so cations and anions attract each other and readily form ionic compounds. Ions consisting of only a single atom are termed ''monatomic ions'', ''atomic ions'' or ''simple ions'', while ions consisting of two or more atoms are termed polyatomic ions or ''molecular ions''. If only a + or − is present, it indicates ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
