Second Sino-Japanese War

50 years after the First Punic War, Carthage had paid off their entire 10,000 talent fee. They then believed that this meant that the treaty was expired. Numidia, an ally of Rome, had frequently raided Carthage because in the treaty Carthage had agreed not to retaliate. Carthage was outraged that the Numidians had been allowed to invade their nation, and in return, Carthage assembled a small army to attack Numidia without Roman permission.

The establishment of the Soviet Union in 1922 helped to reduce the role of Islam in Chechnya by forcing adaptations to Soviet centralization. During World War II, a large number of Chechens were deported, further fragmenting the Chechen population, culture, and religion and reducing Islam’s role in the rise of the 1994 conflict as religion was a less central focus in Chechen lives due to their effective refugee status following deportation.

In conclusion, there are many lessons to be learned from both side of this battle. In order for a quick victory, attacking units should have a 3:1-4:1 ratio depending on the mission and enemy capabilities. It appears they Russian forces were far overestimated and the Chechen forces were far underestimated. The Russians should have supplied 50,000-60,000 troops. Since the city was not completely sealed off, Chechens were able to send resupply and reinforcements from the south where there was a…

country were headed to. From doing research I would say that the decline of china would have to be caused by the western powers being involved in china. Some of the causes that the western power did to make China have its decline would include the opium wars, the May 4th movement and lastly the rebellions in china.
