Paduan–Venetian Border War
In 1372–1373, the Republic of Venice and the Carrara lordship of Padua fought a border war (). The war was the result of the ambitions of Francesco I da Carrara, lord of Padua since 1355, who not only overturned the informal protectorate Venice had exercised over his city, but also tried to expand his own domains at the expense of Venice's interests. The immediate cause of the war were the forts Carrata build along the Paduan–Venetian boundary, some within striking distance from the Venetian Lagoon. The war broke out in 1372, and drew in other regional powers in support of Padua, including the Kingdom of Hungary and the Duchy of Austria. Venetian forces were defeated by the Paduans and Hungarians at Narvesa on the Piave River in May 1373, before the Venetians scored a decisive victory at Fossa Nuova on 1 July 1373, capturing Stephen II Lackfi, commander of the Hungarian army. The resulting treaty that ended the war confirmed the territorial status quo, but also obliged Carrara ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bleeding Kansas
Bleeding Kansas, Bloody Kansas, or the Border War, was a series of violent civil confrontations in Kansas Territory, and to a lesser extent in western Missouri, between 1854 and 1859. It emerged from a political and ideological debate over the legality of slavery in the United States, slavery in the proposed state of Kansas. The conflict was characterized by years of electoral fraud, raids, assaults, and murders carried out in the Kansas Territory and neighboring Missouri by proslavery "border ruffians" and retaliatory raids carried out by Abolitionism in the United States, antislavery "Free-Stater (Kansas), free-staters". According to ''Kansapedia'' of the Kansas Historical Society, 56 political killings were documented during the period, and the total may be as high as 200. It has been called a Tragic Prelude, or an overture, to the American Civil War, which immediately followed it. The conflict centered on the question of whether Kansas, upon gaining statehood, would join th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Border War (1910–1919)
The Mexican Border War, also known as the Border Campaign, refers to a series of military engagements which took place between the United States military and several Mexican factions in the Mexican–American border region of North America during the Mexican Revolution. From the beginning of the Mexican Revolution in 1910, the United States Army was stationed in force along the border and, on several occasions, fought with Mexican rebels or regular federal troops. The height of the conflict came in 1916 when revolutionary Pancho Villa attacked the American border town of Columbus, New Mexico. In response, the United States Army, under the direction of General John J. Pershing, launched a punitive expedition into northern Mexico, to find and capture Villa. Although Villa was not captured, the US Army found and engaged the Villista rebels, killing Villa's two top lieutenants. The revolutionary himself escaped, and the American army returned to the United States in January 19 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
South African Border War
The South African Border War, also known as the Namibian War of Independence, and sometimes denoted in South Africa as the Angolan Bush War, was a largely asymmetric conflict that occurred in Namibia (then South West Africa), Zambia, and Angola from 26 August 1966 to 21 March 1990. It was fought between the South African Defence Force (SADF) and the People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN), an armed wing of the South West African People's Organisation (SWAPO). The South African Border War was closely intertwined with the Angolan Civil War. Following several years of unsuccessful petitioning through the United Nations and the International Court of Justice for Namibian independence from South Africa, SWAPO formed the PLAN in 1962 with material assistance from the Soviet Union, China, and sympathetic African states such as Tanzania, Ghana, and Algeria. Fighting broke out between PLAN and the South African security forces in August 1966. Between 1975 and 1988, the SADF staged m ...
