| | Modern world - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The modern age may be defined to extend to the present day, or else to conclude postmodernism (which may be dated any time from the 1960s to the early 1980s), again depending on the usage. | | | Henceforth the world would become a "Modern" place where Democracy, and Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity became the new standards of government and of the rules of society. | | | Modern art is typified by self-awareness, and by the manipulation of form or medium as an integral part of the work itself. |

| | Relative to the actual time, I think it's ancient (from a Congolese point of view), then came colonization and modern time (as in more technology), not to confuse with what Europeans call their modern period. | | | I've created a bunch of redirecting articles to which mean you can just type DRC instead, with or without the the, ie History of DRC, Politics of the DRC etc. As a precedent, the USA articles have a similar thing. | | | The history of the Congo shouldn't be build around the occupation/administration of the country by Europeans. |

| | History of Greece - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The history of the Byzantine Empire is described by scholar August Heisenberg as the history "of the Roman state of the Greek nation, that turned Christian". | | | During the 19th and early 20th centuries, in a series of wars with the Ottomans, Greece sought to enlarge its boundaries to include the ethnic Greek population of the Ottoman Empire, slowly growing in territory and population until it reached its present configuration in 1947. | | | Although the establishment of Roman rule did not break the continuity of Hellenistic society and culture, which remained essentially unchanged until the advent of Christianity, it did mark the end of Greek political independence. |

| | In this connection it is evident that there is no indication in early European history, or in the migrations of peoples that took place be tween 600 B.C. and 1000 A.D., that tends to buttress the traditional cliche that Croats and Serbs came from an identical parent stock. | | | Indubitably there were Slavic elements in the lands acquired by the early Croats, too, but the distinction between their territories and those of the Balkanic Slavonians ought to be kept in mind just as the Bulgar and Wallachian or Rumanian areas need to be distinguished from the holdings of the Serbs, Slovaks, and Slovenes. | | | The late Professor Preveden in his History of the Croatian people concluded that there is no such thing as a Slavic race. |

| | Until the 19th cent., Egyptian history was intimately involved with the general political development of Islam, whether unified or divided into warring states. | | | In the early 1960s, Nasser strove to make Egypt the undisputed leader of a united Arab world; his chief and most effective rallying cry for Arab unity remained his denunciation of Israel and his call for that country’s extinction. | | | Egypt actively opposed the UN partition of Palestine in 1948 and, joining its forces with the other members of the Arab League, sent troops into the S Negev. |

| | Contrary to the title's claim, this is not a thorough and balanced history from the Ottomans to Kissinger; it does not cover broadly the early conquests and settlements of the island, but instead, is a narrative which relies on some historical background (hence the four pages of honorable Ottoman mention at the beginning). | | | Buy Hostage to History: Cyprus from the Ottomans to Kissinger with The Cyprus Conspiracy: America, Espionage and the... | | | Hitchens quite clearly points the blame for the tragic events of 1974 (and the subsequent division of the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities in Cyprus) on U.S. foreign policy, in particulary the partionist stance of Henry Kissinger who was keen to ensure that NATO maintained a foothold on Cyprus in the event of Britain's withdrawal. |
