D-Day was the date when the Allies invaded northern France and took it over from the Nazis, changing the course of the war, confirming that the Nazis would face a total defeat.

The battle of Stalingrad is one of the most important battles in all of World War two for two reasons. It halted the German offensive, and it laid the foundation for future Russian victories.

vendor selection and optimal order allocation. We also propose a policy for unselected vendors to maintain a competitive environment and derive maximum benefits. The model ranks vendors on the basis of their efficiency scores, derived from data envelopment analysis (DEA). These scores are then utilized in forming policies to retain the interest of unselected vendors in the selection process. Integer programming model is then used to select the vendors and allocate optimum order quantities to…

The Molotov-Ribbentrop pact between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany renounced war between the two countries, giving the Soviet Union much needed time to strengthen itself before Germany’s certain betrayal. Through the pact, Russia was not only promised half of Poland, a territory which had been under Russian sovereignty before World War I, but the Baltic States and Bulgaria.
