Η κήρυξη του Α’ Βαλκανικού Πολέμου στις 5 Οκτωβρίου 1912, βρήκε το ελληνικό Πολεμικό Ναυτικό ενισχυμένο. Απέναντι του στεκόταν το ισχυρό τουρκικό ναυτικό, έτοιμο να τους αμφισβητήσει την κυριαρχία στο Αιγαίο και να υποβοηθήσει την ενίσχυση των μαχόμενων τμημάτων του Τουρκικού Στρατού με ασιατικά στρ

Ο ρόλος της Ιστορίας στην πολιτική δεν είναι μόνο στην αρχαιότητα όταν ο Ευριπίδης είπε το γνωστό «ΟΛΒΙΟΣ ΟΣ ΤΗΣ ΙΣΤΟΡΙΑΣ ΤΥΧΓΑΝΕΙ ΓΝΩΣΤΗΣ», αλλά πάντοτε.

Οι Γερμανοί κατά τη διάρκεια του Β’ Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου επιχείρησαν να σχεδιάσουν και να κατασκευάσουν ένα “ηλιακό πυροβόλο”, ένα τεράστιο κάτοπτρο, δηλαδή, που θα ετίθεντο σε τροχιά και θα συγκέντρωνε την ηλιακή ακτινοβολία σε μια πανίσχυρη ακτίνα, ικανή να κατακαύει τις πόλεις και όχι μόνο, των εχθ
We Greeks consider – and rightly so – that the Naval Battle of Salamis is a milestone in Greek history. This victory of the Greeks - those who resisted the Persians - did stop the advance of Xerxes and forced him to abandon his plans to occupy the entire Greek peninsula. However, apart from its impo

The Armored in the Greek Army 1920-40 is the title of the study, in the absolute literal sense of the term, by the well-known author Konstantinos Vlassis.

Next summer it is estimated that the palace where Alexander the Great was born in the then seaside Pella will be able to receive visitors. In this building, a part of which was excavated in 1957, when no one knew that it was the palace, the Macedonian king grew up, while in the palaestra located a s
Η μάχη των Μεταξάδων δεν ήταν παρά ένας σοβαρός αντιπερισπασμός που εκτέλεσαν τα τμήματα του Δημοκρατικού Στρατού Ελλάδας (ΔΣΕ) στη Θράκη για να προσελκύσουν τμήματα του Ελληνικού Στρατού (ΕΣ) στην περιοχή. Η μάχη στο μικρό χωριό του Έβρου αποτέλεσε την τελευταία απόπειρα του ΔΣΕ να επιχειρήσει εκτό
In To Vima tis Kyriaki (13.01.2002) an article was published under the title The Acheson and Rhodes Plan, which is full of inaccuracies and claims that could only be characterized as figments of a morbid imagination.

After 43 years, I felt the need to record what I experienced in the summer of 1974, when I was serving in the 231 TP based in Ag. Vasileio, on the Nicosia – Panagron – Kyrenia road. I felt that I had a duty to convey what I experienced as a young national guard at the time, something like a debt of
Από τα μέσα του 11ου αιώνα μ.Χ. οι Ούγγροι εκτελούσαν επιδρομές στις βυζαντινές χώρες επιχειρώντας να φτάσουν μέχρι τις ακτές της Αδριατικής. Αργότερα οι Ούγγροι συμμάχησαν με διάφορους Σέρβους τοπάρχες προκαλώντας σοβαρές ανησυχίες στους Βυζαντινούς που είδαν τη κυριαρχία τους στα Δυτικά Βαλκάνια ν

November is a time to observe a curious tradition in Britain. People across the country light bonfires at this time of year and recite the same poem to themselves over and over again. Remember, remember, the 5th of November.... Every schoolchild in England knows these lines of poetry. Because on Nov
After the defeat of his forces at the Battle of Decimus, the Vandal king Gelimeros, at the head of his surviving men, moved south-west towards Mauritania. The morale of the army had fallen to such an extent that it did not even attempt to overthrow the few buccalarians (elite Byzantine horsemen) of
