birth of the Irish Republic. Britain was unable to resist to the movement. Five years later, on 6 December 1921 the Irish Free State was created. Northern Ireland remained attached to the United Kingdom.

About 55 million people were killed. The war ended when the United States dropped nuclear bombs on two Japanese cities after which Japan surrended. The war was destructive. Many buildings collapsed and the amount of goods became subject to restriction. Sir Winston Churchill, a Prime Minister of that time, led Britain through the war.
Slovaks felt the same about their Hungarian rulers. Many defected to renegade legions fighting against the Germans and Austrians. Meanwhile Tomás Garrigue Masaryk, Edvard Benes and the Slovak Milan Stefánik began to argue the case - especially in the USA with President Wilson - for the Czechs' and Slovaks' long-cherished dream of independence. Wilson's interest was in keeping with his own goal of closer ties with Europe under the aegis of the League of Nations (the unsuccessful precursor 9 to the United Nations). The most workable solution appeared to be a single federal state of two equal republics, and this was spelled out in agreements signed in Cleveland in 1915 and then in Pittsburgh in 1918. As WWI drew to a close Czechoslovakia declared its independence, with Allied support, on 28 October 1918
eest, ajades kurjategijad hulluks ning tuues surma ja hukatust. Megaira oli Heraklese naine, kelle käe sai ta tänulikelt kodanikelt oma vägiteo eest võideles minüaanidega, kes olid pannud teebalastele rõhuva tribuudi. Peale oma mehele kolme poja sünnitamist ajas ta ta hulluks (tegelikult saatis aga hulluse Herklesele peale hoopis Hera), mispeale Herakles tappis oma naise ja lapsed. EGIIDI ALL - Kaitse all. Tulnud sõnast aigis (kr. kitsenahk; lad. aegis), mis oli Homerose järgi õudusttekitav kilp, mille Hephaistos sepistas Zeusile ning mida kasutas ka Apollon ja eriti Athena. Hiljem kujutati aigist soomusja loomanahana, millel oli madudest ääris. Athena kinnitas oma aigisele apotroopilise (apotropaion - kr. õnnetust tõrjuv; lad. amuletum) tähisena gorgo Medusa pea. Zeus kandis seda turvisena, Athena enamasti rõivana õlgadel ning rinnal. Sellest on tulnud sõna "egiid" (kaitse, hool) ja väljend "egiidi all" (kaitse all).

the President. The next day Wilson permitted the German government to send messages in its own code between Washington and Berlin under American diplomatic auspices—an arrangement that was, at best, simpleminded, and that, furthermore, contravened the accepted international practice of requiring the messages to be submitted in clear for transmission in American code. Germany availed herself of this arrangement to make America seal her own doom by letters she herself bore. Under the aegis of American sovereignty, Zimmermann sent his message striking at that sovereignty. It was delivered to the American embassy in Berlin at 3 p.m. January 16. It could not go direct to Washington, but had to be sent first to Copenhagen—and then to London. Only from there could it go to Washington. Consequently Britain seized this copy as well. Room 40 was "highly entertained" at the sight of the German code in an American cable, but again did not protest.
