The Plague was ravaging England as well as other parts of Europe during the time of the Tudor monarchs, and there were all kinds of speculation as to who caused it. The Tudors believed that bathing, opened the pores and made people more susceptible to the Bubonic Plague. Instead of bathing, many masked their stench by applying perfumes.
The USS Panay. The ship was at anchor, beside four Standard Oil tankers. The ship had large while awnings stretched over the deck, with massive American flags painted on top of the awnings, facing up. The ship was at anchor about twenty miles from where the Japanese were ravaging Shanghai. The Japanese sank the ship and then machine-gunned survivors in the water. The Japanese later apologized, claiming it was a "mistake".
Yes they did, and migration was a deliberate policy. When Rome expanded into Italy, one of its strategies was to establish Latin colonies (new settlements populated by Romans and their Latin neighbours). The reasons for this were 1) establish strongholds in strategic locations 2) establish a population presence in the area 3) give land to citizen whose plot of land was too small to make a decent living. Rome had a chronic shortage of land for poor peasants because most of the land was grabbed by the rich landowners. When Rome expanded beyond Italy, she still established colonies. The reasons for this were the same, but land for citizens became an even bigger factor. Many small peasants lost their land in the Second Punic War. In some areas this was due to the Carthaginian invaders ravaging the land where they went. In other cases, this was due to small peasants fighting in the army for long periods of time and, as a result, their lands were neglected. Another factor was the emergence of abundant slave labour on the farms of rich landlords which gave them an incentive to grab even more land. Many landless people migrated to Rome and were paupers. They were given a career in an army which was turned professional and were given plots of land in the provinces (conquered areas) at the end of their careers. The number of people who were helped this way was large.
In 1864, General Sherman's overarching plan in the South was to wage "total war" in one final, decisive effort in order to bring the South to its knees. By cutting a long, firm line of destruction from Atlanta to the Atlantic, which destroyed industry, cut communications, terrorized the populace, and ruined crops, Sherman's ravaging of the Deep South most certainly hastened the end of the war as a whole.
It was doomed to failure. Magna Carta lasted less than three months. By November 1215, John had the rebels' backs to the wall. He had recaptured Rochester Castle (which had been surrendered to them in September), and was poised to strike at London. The rebels, for their part, had offered the crown of England to Philip's son, Prince Louis of France, and he hurried reinforcements into London. John failed to grasp the nettle. Instead of striking at London in one final, decisive blow, he took the percentage option and began ravaging the rebels' heartlands. This gave Louis time to muster an army, and on 22 May 1216, he landed at Sandwich. John had been ready to receive them, but overnight his navy was scattered by a storm and his supporters, unwilling to trust his largely mercenary force, advocated retreat. Once again, John played the percentages and withdrew.
