When was the Arap Mosque built?
During the sixth century a Byzantine church, possibly dedicated to Saint Irene, was built of which only a part of a wall now survives. In 1233, during the Latin domination after the Fourth Crusade, this church was replaced with a new one, dedicated to Saint Paul The church of San Paolo was rebuilt in 1325. From this time on the church was officially dedicated to San Domenico. After the Fall of Constantinople, according to the Capitulations of the Ottoman Empire with the Republic of Genoa, the church, which by that time was known by the Turks under the name of Mesa Domenico, remained in Genoese hands, but between 1475 and 1478 it was transformed, with minor modifications, into a mosque by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II.
What is the definition of colonial discourse?
The general area within which this study operates could then be named colonial discourse, meaning by that term an ensemble of linguistically-based practices unified by their common deployment in the management of colonial relationships, an ensemble that could combine the most formulaic and bureaucratic of official documents - say the Capitulations issued by the Catholic Monarchs to Christopher Columbus in 1492 - with the most non-functional and unprepossessing of romantic novels - say Shirley Graham's The Story of Pocohantas. Underlying the idea of colonial discourse, in other words is the presumption that during the colonial period large parts of the non-European world were produced for Europe through a discourse that imbricated sets of questions and assumptions, methods of procedure and analysis, and kinds of writing and imagery, normally separated out into the discrete areas of military strategy, political order, social reform, imaginative literature, personal memoir and so on. But, as a case study, this book operates on a particular geographical ideological terrain within that general area, which is to say that there is no presumption that the key tropes and narratives analyzed here would play as central a role within colonial discourse in general.Hulme, Peter. Colonial Encounters p.2

How did post World War 1 Europe set the stage for World War 2?
WWI was a basis for WWII in part because of the Treaty of Versailles. This treaty was harsh toward the Germans. They resented it. Hitler, as Germany's Chancellor, broke all the points in the treaty. Everyone disliked Germany because of WW1. In Germany there arose a conspiracy theory that claimed that the country had been 'betrayed' by Communists and the Jews. This 'stab-in-the-back' legend was used by German nationalists and the German military to cover up their failure. Hitler used this conspiracy to destabilize the new republic.
Which country has the smallest amount of troops?
There are over 20 sovereign states that do not have a regular Army or an Armed Force, and are very small in size having an area less than 200square miles. Most of these states are either dependencies i.e. most of them are dependent on their past occupiers to come to their defense when needed, Guam, Bermuda, and the agreement between France and Monaco,which was a French colony 3 centuries ago relies on France. A Few other states don't need to maintain a regular army due their unorthodox style of governance such as Haiti, Grenada and Costa Rica,who disbanded their army or demilitarized due to civil war killings, Samoa is another sovereign state which was formed without an Army. Iceland has an agreement with the US, Norway, Denmark, and other NATO countries,The Vatican City or the Holy See occupies an area of just 0.2 square miles and is regarded as the smallest country in the World with a population of 770 none being permanent residents. The Head of State is the Pope who is also the Religious head of the Catholic Church and having a massive Christian following of 1 Billion Catholics all over the World. The perfect example of the smallest army is the Pontifical Swiss Guard who were non-voluntary mercenaries fighting for other European countries by a treaty called capitulations signed by the Swiss Diet. In 1874 the Swiss constitution forbade the use of the Swiss guard by any foreign powers and through military capitulation.The Rulings of 1874 and 1927 made an exception,that of the Swiss Guard of the Vatican which was raised by Pope Julius II in 1505, it is at present a fully reinforced company with a strength of 110 Men is responsible for the safety of the Pope, including the security of the Apostolic Palace. The Swiss Guards acts as the De facto military of the Vatican City.Though other Military wings existed, the last of these groups like the Corsican Guard was abolished in 1860, and two others named the Noble and the Palatine guards were abolished by Pope Paul VI in 1970.
