Three Years of Arafat's War Three years ago when the war began, Palestinian talking heads quickly captured all the media fronts. It took the Bush administration two long years to accept this reality, and the European love affair lasted an extra year, but now even the Arabophiles in Brussels and Paris admit (behind closed doors) that Arafat is a dangerous dinosaur incapable of ending terrorism. But we are still here, three years and nearly 900 murders later, united and with a renewed commitment to Zionism, national sovereignty and cultural revival in our homeland. www.cdn-friends-icej.ca /isreport/septoct03/3war.html

Ten Years War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Ten Years War began on 10 October 1868 under the leadership of the attorney Carlos Manuel de Céspedes and seconded by a group of patriots in the sugar mill La Demajagua, calling for liberty and independence of the island. Activities in the Ten Years War peaked in the years 1872 and 1873, but after the death of Agramonte and destitution of Céspedes, operations were limited to the regions of Camagüey and Oriente, due in part to a lack of supplies. On 10 February 1878, the peace terms were accepted by the Cuban and Spanish governments and the Ten Years War came to an end, except for some subsequent protests by a small group of followers of Antonio Maceo, who protested in Los Mangos de Baraguá on 15 March. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ten_Years_War   (698 words)

Chronological list of events in the Hundred Years' War The study of the Hundred Years' War is complicated by the infusion of related events ­ often separate wars in their own spheres ­ that sometimes were integrated with, and at other times they only casually affected, the developments of the greater struggle.
