Øرب الناقلات
Ù?ÙŠ عام 1981 بدأ ما يسمى بØرب الناقلات Ùˆ كانت عبارة عن استهداÙ? متبادل لناقلات النÙ?Ø· والناقلات البØرية التجارية للبلدين بغية قطع الإمدادات الاقتصادية والعسكرية للجيشين المتØاربين. ولم يكن الأمر مقتصراً على استهداÙ? السÙ?Ù† التابعة للدولتين المتØاربتين بل امتدت لتشمل الدول الداعمة Ù?Ù?ÙŠ 13 مايو 1984 هوجمت سÙ?ينة كويتية قرب البØرين ÙˆÙ?ÙŠ 16 مايو 1984 هوجمت سÙ?ينة سعودية من قبل السÙ?Ù† الØربية الإيرانية Øيث كانت الكويت Ùˆ السعودية من الدول الداعمة للعراق. تم تدمير ما مجموعه 546 سÙ?ينة تجارية خلال Øرب الناقلات وكانت أغلبيتها سÙ?Ù† كويتية مما Øدى بالØكومة الكويتية إلى طلب المساعدة الدولية Ù„Øماية سÙ?نها Ù?ÙŠ عام 1987ØŒ Ù?قامت الولايات المتØدة برÙ?ع علمها على السÙ?Ù† الكويتية لتوÙ?ير الØماية لها. لكن هذا الأجراء لم يمنع الإيرانيين من مهاجمة السÙ?Ù† مما Øدى بالأسطول الأمريكي إلى مهاجمة سÙ?Ù† إيرانية، Ùˆ من أشهر هذه الهجمات الهجوم الذي وقع Ù?ÙŠ 18 ابريل 1988 ودمر Ù?يه سÙ?ينتين Øربيتين إيرانيتين.
وقامت القوات الأمريكية بهجوم وقع Ù?ÙŠ 3 يوليو 1988 أدى إلى تدمير طائرة نقل ركاب مدنيين قالت القوات الأمريكية Ù?يما بعد أنه وقع عن طريق الخطأ من قبل الطائرات الØربية الأمريكية والتي أدت إلى مقتل 290 ركابا كانوا على متن الطائرة.
Ù?ÙŠ خضم كل هذه الأØداث تم الكشÙ? عن Ù?ضيØØ© إيران-كونترا ضمن صÙ?ÙˆÙ? إدارة الرئيس الأمريكي انذاك رونالد ريغان Øيث تم الكشÙ? عن Øقيقة أن الولايات المتØدة كانت بالاضاÙ?Ø© إلى دعمها للعراق Ù?انها ÙˆÙ?ÙŠ Ù†Ù?س الوقت كانت تبيع الاسلØØ© لإيران وكانت تستخدم الأموال من تلك الصÙ?قة لدعم الثوار Ù?ÙŠ نيكاراغوا.
Øرب المدن
مع اقتراب نهاية الØرب بدأ الخمول يظهر على أداء الجيشين العراقي والإيراني نتيجة للاستنزاÙ? الطويل للذخيرة الØربية والقوة البشرية للجيشين، Ù?بدأت مرØلة سوداء Ù?ÙŠ تاريخ الØرب وهي قصÙ? المدن بصورة عشوائية عن طريق صواريخ سكود أو أرض-أرض طويلة المدى Øيث Ø±Ø§Ø Ø¶Øيتها الكثير من الأبرياء المدنيين.
وبدأت القوات الجوية العراقية بضربات إستراتيجية للمدن الإيرانية، واستهدÙ?ت الضربات طهران بشكل أساسي مع بداية عام 1985ØŒ Ù?قامت إيران بقصÙ? العاصمة بغداد بصواريخ سكود البعيدة المدى. ورد العراق بالمثل بقصÙ? طهران. ووصل الأمر إلى Øد استهداÙ? العراق الطائرات المدنية ومØطات القطار وتدمير ثلاثة وأربعين مدرسة Ù?ÙŠ عام 1986 Ù?قط أدى لمقتل مئات التلاميذ وبالمثل إيران ÙƒØادثة "مدرسة بلاط الشهداء" اللتي Ø±Ø§Ø Ø¶Øيتها الكثير من التلاميذ العراقيين، وقامت الدولتين باستعمال الأسلØØ© الكيمياوية Ù?ÙŠ الØرب والعراق بشكل أكثر إلى ان اتت ادانة الامم المتØدة لاستعمال الاسلØØ© الكيماوية وذلك سنة 1983ØŒ ولم تتمتع الØكومة الإيرانية بدعم دولي على عكس العراق الذي كان يتمتع بإسناد ذو قاعدة عريضة، كل هذه العوامل مجتمعة أدت لمواÙ?قة إيران على هدنة اقترØتها الأمم المتØدة والتي وصÙ?ها الخميني "كأس السم" Øسب تعبيره Ù?ÙŠ 8 اغسطس 1988ØŒ Øيث كانت إيران ترÙ?ض أي قرار من مجلس الأمن ما لم يعترÙ? بأن العراق هو البادئ بالاعتداء وإقرار التعويضات اللازمة لإيران والتي قد تصل إلى 200 مليار دولار. |

Jimmy Stewart was too modest to recount his war experiences and there is very little material on his tour as bomber pilot. I found this audio clip from 1990 when he spoke at Princeton about his life and briefly about WW2. The entire audio clip can be found at princeton dot edu.
Nearly two years before the December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, Stewart had become a private pilot and had accumulated over 400 hours of flying time and was considered a highly proficient pilot. Along with musician/composer Hoagy Carmichael, seeing the need for trained war pilots, Stewart teamed with other Hollywood moguls and put their own money into creating a flying school in Glendale, Arizona which they named Thunderbird Field. This airfield trained more than 200,000 pilots during the War, became the origin of the Flying Thunderbirds, and is now the home of Thunderbird School of Global Management.
Later in 1940, Stewart was drafted into the Army Air Corps but was rejected due to a weight problem. The USAAC had strict height and weight requirements for new recruits and Stewart was five pounds under the standard. To get up to 148 pounds he sought out the help of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's muscle man, Don Loomis, who was legendary for his ability to add or subtract pounds in his studio gymnasium. Stewart subsequently attempted to enlist in the United States Army Air Corps but still came in under the weight requirement although he persuaded the AAF enlistment officer to run new tests, this time passing the weigh-in,with the result that Stewart successfully enlisted in the Army in March 1941. He became the first major American movie star to wear a military uniform in World War II.
Since the United States had yet to declare war on Germany and because of the Army's unwillingness to put celebrities on the front, Stewart was held back from combat duty, though he did earn a commission as a Second Lieutenant and completed pilot training. He was later stationed in Albuquerque, NM, becoming an instructor pilot for the B-17 Flying Fortress.
For the thirty-six-year-old Stewart, combat duty seemed far away and unreachable, and he had no clear plans for the future. But then a rumor that Stewart would be taken off flying status and assigned to making training films or selling bonds called for his immediate and decisive action, because what he dreaded most was the hope-shattering spector of a dead end." So he appealed to his commander, a pre-war aviator, who understood the situation and reassigned him to a unit going overseas.
In August 1943 he was finally assigned to the 445th Bombardment Group in Sioux City, Iowa, first as Operations Officer of the 703rd Bombardment Squadron and then its commander. In December, the 445th Bombardment Group flew its B-24 Liberator bombers to RAF Tibenham, England and immediately began combat operations. While flying missions over Germany, Stewart was promoted to Major. In March 1944, he was transferred as group operations officer to the 453rd Bombardment Group, a new B-24 outfit that had been experiencing difficulties. As a means to inspire his new group, Stewart flew as command pilot in the lead B-24 on numerous missions deep into Nazi-occupied Europe. These missions went uncounted at Stewart's orders. His "official" total is listed as 20 and are limited to those with the 445th. In 1944, he twice received the Distinguished Flying Cross for actions in combat and was awarded the Croix de Guerre. He also received the Air Medal with three oak leaf clusters. In July 1944, after flying 20 combat missions, Stewart was made chief of staff of the 2nd Combat Bombardment Wing of the Eighth Air Force. Before the war ended, he was promoted to colonel, one of only a few Americans to rise from private to colonel in four years.
At the beginning of June 1945, Stewart was the presiding officer of the Court-Martial of a pilot and navigator who were charged with dereliction of duty when they accidentally bombed the Swiss city of Zurich the previous March - the first instance of US personnel being tried over an attack on a neutral country. The Court acquitted the accused.
Stewart did not often talk of his wartime service, perhaps due to his desire to be seen as a regular soldier doing his duty instead of as a celebrity. He did appear on the TV series, The World At War to discuss the 14 October 1943, bombing mission to Schweinfurt, which was the center of the German ball bearing manufacturing industry. This mission is known in USAF history as Black Thursday due to the incredibly high casualties it sustained; in total 60 aircraft were lost out of 291 dispatched, as the raid consisting entirely of B17s was unescorted all the way to Schweinfurt and back due to the current escort aircraft available lacking the range. Fittingly, he was identified only as "James Stewart, Squadron Commander" in the documentary. |

The Polish-Soviet War (February 1919 -- March 1921) was an armed conflict of Soviet Russia and Soviet Ukraine against the Second Polish Republic and the Ukrainian People's Republic, four nascent states in post-World War I Europe. The war was the result of conflicting expansionist attempts. Poland, whose statehood had just been re-established by the Treaty of Versailles following the Partitions of Poland in the late 18th century, sought to secure territories which she had lost at the time of partitions; the Soviets' aim was to control those same territories, which had been part of Imperial Russia until the turbulent events of the Great War. Both States claimed victory[1] in the war: the Poles claimed a successful defense of their state, while the Soviets claimed a repulse of the Polish eastward invasion of Ukraine and Belarus, which they viewed as a part of foreign intervention in the Russian Civil War.
The frontiers between Poland and Soviet Russia had not been defined in the Treaty of Versailles and post-war events created turmoil: the Russian Revolution of 1917; the crumbling of the Russian, German and Austrian empires; the Russian Civil War; the Central Powers' withdrawal from the eastern front; and the attempts of Ukraine and Belarus to establish their independence. Poland's Chief of State, Józef Piłsudski, felt the time expedient to expand Polish borders as far east as feasible, to be followed by the creation of a Polish-led federation (Międzymorze) of several states in the rest of East-Central Europe as a bulwark against the potential re-emergence of both German and Russian imperialism. Lenin, meanwhile, saw Poland as the bridge that the Red Army would have to cross in order to assist other communist movements and help conduct other European revolutions.
By 1919, the Polish forces had taken control of much of Western Ukraine, with victory in the Polish-Ukrainian War; the West Ukrainian People's Republic had tried unsuccessfully to create a Ukrainian state on territories to which both Poles and the Ukrainians laid claim. At the same time, the Bolsheviks began to gain the upper hand in the Russian Civil War and advance westward towards the disputed territories. By the end of 1919 a clear front had formed. Border skirmishes escalated into open warfare following Piłsudski's major incursion further east into Ukraine in April 1920. He was met by a nearly simultaneous and initially very successful Red Army counterattack. The Soviet operation threw the Polish forces back westward all the way to the Polish capital, Warsaw. Meanwhile, western fears of Soviet troops arriving at the German frontiers increased the interest of Western powers in the war. In midsummer, the fall of Warsaw seemed certain but in mid-August the tide had turned again as the Polish forces achieved an unexpected and decisive victory at the Battle of Warsaw. In the wake of the Polish advance eastward, the Soviets sued for peace and the war ended with a ceasefire in October 1920. A formal peace treaty, the Peace of Riga, was signed on 18 March 1921, dividing the disputed territories between Poland and Soviet Russia. The war largely determined the Soviet-Polish border for the period between the World Wars. |
