Its impetus can be found in the long-term background preceding it, such as the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the alliance system, the Schlieffen Plan, and trench warfare which resulted in a war of attrition; as…

tactic that involved fighting from trenches, making advancing very difficult. Life in the trenches was not easy either. Disease spread and the weather was not always pleasing. Another tactic used in both the Iran-Iraq War and World War One was mustard gas. Mustard gas destroys the respiratory system, and it is very painful. It takes a long time to die from it. The Iraqis took these strategies and used them themselves. These strategies in specific are not good strategies, yet the Iraqis still…

On Sunday, November 27, 2016, at 6pm I did my concert report at a mom and pops restaurant called, Mariscos Uruapan in Mira Loma. Before entering, I looked at my surroundings; I have never seen people riding horses around the city. One of the observations that stood out to me was that many customers were not parking their own cars instead they used valet parking.
