After the assassination of his rival, Ypsilanti, who claimed to represent the movement for Greek regeneration, found himself face to face with a well-organised Turkish army, whilst his own, consisting of enthusiastic Greeks and volunteers from various countries, was inferior in numbers and comparatively undisciplined. In September the Turkish Commander-in-Chief on the Danube demanded an immediate evacuation of those territories, and, failing compliance, war was declared. depts.washington.edu /cartah/text_archive/sam/13.shtml   (8386 words)

Articles - Fall of the Ottoman Empire The Crimean War illustrated how modern technology and superior weaponry were the most important part of a modern army, and a part that the Ottoman Empire was sorely lacking. When in 1853 Russia destroyed the entire Ottoman fleet at Sinop, Britain and France concluded that armed intervention on the side of the Ottomans was the only way to halt a massive Russian expansion, on the grounds that the Ottoman armies could do nothing to stop a Russian march on Constantinople. Greece was invaded from the North and the Ottoman armies marched south as far as Thermopylae before King George I of Greece agreed to an armistice. www.gaple.com /articles/Fall_of_the_Ottoman_Empire?mySession=55743d2269bd98b88704d0a77de623a1   (2182 words)

Orlov Trotter Home Page His most famous acquisition, from a Turkish pasha, was the Arabian stallion Smetanka, a silver-gray horse, rather large and long-backed for the breed (an autopsy revealed that he had 19 ribs, i.e., an extra rib), with an extravagant trot. World War I, civil war, collectivization (with its termination of privately controlled breeding), World War II and the deterioration in the agricultural sector preceding the break-up of the Soviet Union all took a toll on the breed's genetic pool. The fourth generation Muzhik ["Peasant"] I, for example, son of Liubeznyi I, despite his reputation as the fastest horse at the stud, was castrated for the white markings on his mostly black coat. www.imh.org /imh/bw/orlov.html   (1954 words)
