	WORLD WAR II,
		In the first week of June they were backed against the Swedish border and close to having to choose surrender or internment, but by then, military disasters in France were forcing the British and French to recall their troops from Narvik.
		In the first, the goal was to secure bases on the coast of China (from which Japan could be bombed and later invaded) by British and Chinese drives through Burma and eastern China and by American thrusts through the islands of the central and southwestern Pacific to Formosa (Taiwan) and China.
		The first stage for all of the Allied armies was to reach the Rhine River.

		We rode down together and on our first run we were flying along when we came around a corner and found the guy who had left like five minutes before us inching along at a snails pace scared to death.
		First off was the port prop which had a half dozen plastic bags wrapped up in it.
		First thing in the morning we moved to the outside of the group and thought we had solved the problem.

	The "Suez Crisis", 1956
		The roots of the Suez Crisis were the British and French wish to keep the Suez Canal under their control, as well as the protracted animosity between the Arabs — disappointed by the results of the war in 1948 — and the Israelis, which wanted to secure their position due to being surrounded by enemies.
		In the afternoon, the first out of a series of strikes against different targets in the Port Said area were flown, with the aim of interdicting the traffic of the local Egyptian units, and hitting these in their barracks.
		The first target of the British paras was the Gamil airfield, near Port Said, and their landing was introduced with a series of heavy raids against nearby Egyptian positions flown by Venoms of the 249 Sqn.

	First World War, 1914-1918
		The first requests for an Armistice came on 6 October, and after negotiations from 7 November, the Armistice was signed on the morning of 11 November, with the fighting to stop at 11 A.M. The war was over.
		The first landings were made on 25 April 1915, but by this time the Turks had had time to improve the defences of the area, and it soon turned into a smaller version of the Western Front.
		First was the battle of Heligoland Bight (28 August 1914), which began as an British attempt to stop German patrols, and escalated when the Admiralty sent in Cruisers from the Grand Fleet, and the Germans sent out some of their own Cruisers.

	First World War - A Short History
		The origins of the First World War are famously obscure, and the problem is familiar to many school children who are asked to work it out.
		Fay thought the underlying causes of the war were a secret alliance system between nations, which resulted in a limited war having the potential to drag many others to the conflict; a culture of militarism, and nationalism, and a newspaper press which blew up every little disagreement and problem into a more newsworthy crisis.
		As in the First World War Hitler perverted Darwin, ranting on about pure races, the survival of the fittest, and ignoring the basic interconnectedness of life.

	Desert War
		Rommel mounted his first attack on 24th March 1941, and after a week of fighting he pushed Archibald Wavell and the British Army out of most of Libya.
		Erwin Rommel launched his offensive on 26th May. The Italian infantry attacked at the front while Rommel led his panzers round the edge of the fortifications to cut off the supply routes.
		My first step in restoring morale, therefore, was to lay down the firm principle, to be made known to all ranks, that no further withdrawal was contemplated and that we would fight the coming battle on the ground on which we stood.

		However, the first event to place the fate of the war in Egypt was the RAF’s defeat of the Luftwaffe in the war for air superiority over England.
		In 1942 he was impatient for an offensive from Eighth Army — the unit assigned to Egypt — that would take back some of Rommel’s gains and give the British people (and their elected representatives) some hope.
		Monty’s first order of business was to relocate Eighth Army headquarters near Desert Air Force HQ so as to facilitate better cooperation between the two.

	Suez Crisis - IBWiki
		In 1952 the last khedive, Said II, was deposed by one of those pan-arabist nationalists, the General Gamal Abdel Nasser who became the first president of the newly established republic.
		Both snorist Russia and the CSDS at first flirted with the newly established political power in Egypt hoping to get advantages over the Suez Canal in a time that was not yet known the ideological tendency of President Nasser.
		Today the Suez Crisis is considered as the first modern war in the Middle East due to the widespread use of motorised artillery and aircraft.

	Rohatyn's Suez Booted Out of Argentina
		Suez, the majority stockholder in Aguas Argentinas (AASA), failed to invest in vital infrastructure, Kirchner explained the next day, and much of the water it provided to 10 million people in metropolitan Buenos Aires, was contaminated with unacceptably high concentrations of nitrates.
		Suez's 15-year operation in Argentina is marked by usurious rate hikes and contract violations, for which it has been repeatedly fined by regulatory agencies.
		Aware that Suez was preparing to leave the country, and that it intended to go to the World Bank's arbitration board to demand compensation, claiming breach of contract, the Kirchner government sent 50 undercover public sector agents into Aguas Argentinas to collect evidence of the company's misdeeds.

	GDF-Suez merger delayed after unions win court ruling
		Another Suez shareholder, Eric Knight of the US investment fund Knight Vinke, has already said he would expect a dividend of 6.5 or 7.0 euros and that he would reject a figure circulating at present in the market of 3.5 euros.
		Under the initial agreement for Suez to absorb GDF, one Suez share was valued at one GDF share, after payment of a special dividend of one euro per share to Suez shareholders from Suez resources.
		Small shareholders in Suez were the first to demand an increase in the dividend to reflect this, and many experts believe that an increase is inevitable.

	6/Alexandria & Suez
		The first proposed solution was to cover the ships and port facilities under huge canvas sheets, but this would be an enormous undertaking.
		Secondly, by June 1941, at a time when the German air offensive against the Eighth Army needed an urgent boost, Hitler was actually withdrawing vital aircraft from the Mediterranean in preparation for the invasion of Russia.
		The two alleged accomplishments of Jasper Maskelyne, namely the protection of Alexandria and the camouflaging of the Suez Canal, are at the core of the tale of "The War Magician".

	Yom Kippur War - Conservapedia
		The war commenced on October 6, 1973 when Egyptian mechanized divisions crossed the Suez Canal by using a series of pressurized water cannons to demolish sand walls on the opposite side of the canal, and then crossing on pontoon bridges.
		At first, the Israeli counterattack was focussed primarily against the forces in the Golan Heights as these were much closer to Israel proper, whereas the Egyptian forces in the Sinai peninsula were not as immediate a threat.
		Because of the influx of materiel, the Israelis were able to commit their forces to a renewed offensive posture, overwhelming the older Egyptian and Syrian divisions.

	Finance & Development, September 2001 - Was Suez in 1956 the First Financial Crisis of the Twenty-First Century?
		When the first of these crises erupted in Mexico in December 1994, the IMF's then Managing Director, Michel Camdessus, called it "the first financial crisis of the twenty-first century." His point was that the world had changed.
		From its first financial operations in 1947 to the onset of the Suez crisis, the IMF had lent to member countries only sporadically and in small amounts (see chart).
		The United Kingdom's first line of defense to protect the reserve floor was intervention in the form of spot purchases of sterling in the foreign exchange market.

	Spain's energy regulator allows Suez to raise stake in Gas Natural
		The merger would create a new firm, GDF Suez, which would be one of the world's largest utility groups that would compete with Gas Natural.

		The battalion made further moves in July and September 1915, first to Ripon and then to Hurdcott Camp near Salisbury, before the 31st Division embarked in December for Egypt to counter a Turkish threat against the Suez Canal.
		Although Haig had argued for an offensive in Flanders, the decision was taken to attack along a wide front at the point where the two armies met close to the Somme river.
		On the first day of the Battle of the Somme, significant inroads into the German positions were made only where the terrain was less favourable to the defenders nearer the Somme river.

		At the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, the British government realized that it had to keep the Suez Canal open at all costs because it was the primary sea route connecting Britain to its far-flung eastern colonies.
		The Suez bordered Egypt, a nominal Turkish province, and, when Turkey became involved in the war on Germany's side in 1915, Turkey attacked the canal.
		As a result the British declared war on Turkey and began an offensive against the Ottoman forces and their German advisers.
