Khrushchev. A statesman and reformer who brought the world to the brink of catastrophe.
Under 1. Verdenskrig kunne Storbritannien med en flådeblokade afskære Tyskland fra alle forsyninger udefra. For at bryde blokaden forsøgte Tyskland at besejre den britiske flåde, der lå ud for Orkney-øerne og lukkede Nordsøen af for de tyske skibe. De to flåder mødtes første gang den 31. maj 1916 i historiens største søslag, som kostede omkring 9.000 døde og sårede og 25 sænkede skibe. Man har lige siden diskuteret, hvem der egentlig vandt slaget, mens ingen betvivler, at slaget havde afgørende betydning for udfaldet af krigen.

Druids have existed far longer than hitherto assumed, since the 4th century BC. Their traces are found all over middle Europe: from the northern Balkans to Ireland. Their cultural achievements were equal in almost every way to those of the Romans and Greeks: They could read and write and spoke Greek and Latin - for centuries, they were the powerful elite of their culture. Only one single Druid is known by name to history: Diviciacos - an aristocrat of the Aedui and personal friend of Julius Caesar. Diviciacos was a politician, a judge and a diplomat, but he lived at a time when the Celtic lands of Gaul were conquered by the Romans. Greek and Roman contemporaries distrusted the actions of this forbear of the famous comic book druid Getafix: They imagined him in bloody rituals in somber woods.
