The plural form " people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural f ...

The Great Retreat, also known in Serbian historiography as the Albanian Golgotha ( sr, Албанска голгота / ''Albanska golgota''), was a strategic withdrawal of the Royal Serbian Army, which marked the end of the second Serbian campaign of World War I. In late October 1915, Germany, Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria launched a synchronised major offensive against Serbia.

On 23 November 1915, the gove ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
