The first world war has been remembered mostly due to the large battles of attrition fought on the west front.
Yet, the east front has seen its more than share of action and millions of soldiers were engaged on both sides.

After the Taliban took control of Kabul in 1996, most of the top leaders of the JTM joined hands in the loose anti-Taliban alliance that later become known as the United Front of the Northern Alliance.

 /i/ and /I/ by Romanians speaking English
The second Romanian speaker, however, still shows a higher /i/ than /I/, but the lax vowel /I/ is more fronted in relation to the tense vowel /i/.
As Ladefoged says, “unlike Spanish and Italian, English differentiates between vowels such as those in “seat, sit” and “heed, hid,” in that /i/ is tense and /I/ is lax.” (Ladefoged 1993) The Romanian vowel system consists of seven vowels, with only one high front vowel /i/, described as being “front, close non-rounded” (Mallinson 1986).
This shows that phonological language transfer occurs from the source language into the target language, and that rather than producing a longer /I/, the interference results in affecting the position of the vowel production, namely a lower but fronted lax vowel /I/.

 The Virtual Jewish History Tour - Romania
From 1935, Vaida-Voevod led the Romanian Front, and accused the Jews in his speeches of the blood libel, parasitism, defrauding the country, and the Judaization of the press and national literature.
During this period, when Romania suffered great losses on the front and Germany called for an increase in Romanian participation, the Union's board employed the argument that Romania, being an ally of the Third Reich, and thus a sovereign state, did not have to accept anti-Jewish laws that were applied only to German satellite countries.
German penetration into the Romanian economy increased as the Nazis moved eastward with the Anschluss of Austria (1938), the annexation of Czechoslovakia (1939), and the occupation of western Poland at the outbreak of World War II.

 Romanian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Romanian is the only Romance language where definite articles are enclitic: that is, attached to the end of the noun (as in North Germanic languages), instead of in front (proclitic).
Romanian is one of the five languages in which religious services are performed in the autonomous monastic state of Mount Athos, spoken in the sketae of Prodromos and Lacu (a sketa being a community of monks; sketae is plural).
All the dialects of Romanian are believed to have been unified in a Common Romanian language until sometime between the 7th and the 10th century when the area was influenced by the Byzantine Empire and Romanian became influenced by the Slavonic languages.
