NTV television channel ran a short documentary in December 2015 alleging the library carried out the orders of the Ukrainian security services at the behest of the CIA. The Ukrainian foreign ministry issued a note of protest, describing the investigation as "not the first attempt of the Kremlin's to put the labels of 'Russophobia' and 'extremism' on everything that's Ukrainian". Sharina was designated a political prisoner by Russian human rights organization Memorial.

Around 1715 (during the First Fox War), the French re-established a Northern Michigan military outpost at a new site on the northern tip of the lower peninsula and called it Fort Michilimackinac. This location became the new locus for fur and other trade, and mission work with the natives. Lignery returned to the command of Michilimackinac in 1722 after an absence of about three years fighting the Fox in Illinois. He carried out the orders of acting Governor Charles Le Moyne de Longueuil and (starting in 1726) New France governor Charles de la Boische, Marquis de Beauharnois. From 1720 to 1722, Pierre François Xavier de Charlevoix stopped at Michilimackinac and other points in Northern Michigan while seeking a Pacific Ocean passage.

During his time as commander at both camps, Titho's deputy was SS-Hauptscharführer Hans Haage, who was predominantly responsible for the political prisoners. Shortly after the war, Commissioner of Criminal Police for the Province of Bolzano Arthur Schoster described Titho as "not an especially brutal type, rather a weak character who merely carried out the orders of his superiors" and as somebody that was mostly interested in having a comfortable life. Schoster, who did not know Titho well, thought that Titho was not directly responsible for the atrocities but certainly knew all about them. Schoster felt that that Titho's deputy Haage was a cruel and brutal man, in truth running the Bolzano camp as Titho was too weak for the task.

The Aetolians drew up the greater part of their hoplites and cavalry in front of their own lines on the level ground and, with a portion of their cavalry and their light infantry, they hastened to occupy some rising ground in front of their camp, which nature had made easily defensible. A single charge, however, by the Illyrians, whose numbers and close order gave them irresistible weight, served to dislodge the light-armed troops, and forced the cavalry who were on the ground with them to retire to the hoplites. The Medionians joined the action by sallying out of the town and charging the Aetolians, thus, after killing a great number, and taking a still greater number prisoners, and becoming masters also of their arms and baggage, the Illyrians, having carried out the orders of Agron, conveyed their baggage and the rest of their booty to their boats and immediately set sail for their own country.Polybius 2.3 This defeat of the Aetolians, who were famed for their victory over the invading Gauls a generation before, caused a sensation in Greece.

An example of the Maryland Line fighting at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. In June 1775, the Second Continental Congress authorized the formation of a "Maryland Line", an entire militia composed and financed by Maryland to be incorporated into the newly formed Continental Army. On 18 January 1776, the Maryland government carried out the orders of the Second Continental Congress and created the following regiments:Polk, Ryan. "The Origin of the 'the Old Line State'", Maryland State Archives, 2005 • 1st Maryland Regiment, disbanded in 1783 • 2nd Maryland Regiment, disbanded in 1783 • 3rd Maryland Regiment, disbanded in 1783 • 4th Maryland Regiment, disbanded in 1783 • 5th Maryland Regiment, disbanded in 1783 • 6th Maryland Regiment, disbanded in 1781 • 7th Maryland Regiment, disbanded in 1781 • German Battalion (counted as half a regiment against the quota), disbanded in 1781 • Maryland and Virginia Rifle Regiment (counted as half a regiment against the quota), disbanded in 1781 • 2nd Independent Maryland Company - Somerset County absorbed into the 2nd Maryland Regiment in 1781 Once Maryland met its required quota of composing and equipping eight regiments, the units were formally incorporated into the Continental Army to fight aside militia from the twelve other states.

The events at Meligalas and Kalamata were detrimental to EAM, whose leadership initially denied that any massacre had taken place, only to be forced to acknowledge it later and issue a condemnation. The more moderate leaders of EAM, Alexandros Svolos and Sarafis, insisted that they faithfully carried out the orders of the national unity government, and issued orders to "stop all executions". These events demonstrated the willingness of ELAS to suffer significant losses in order to gain control before the arrival of British forces, and its ability to succeed in this goal led to a shift in British policy: the British liaison officers in the Peloponnese, who until then were under orders not to get involved in events, were now directed to intervene to secure the surrender, safekeeping, and delivery of the Security Battalions' weapons to British forces, to avoid them falling in the hands of ELAS. As a result, due to the mediation of British liaisons, the Red Cross, representatives of the Papandreou government, or even the local EAM authorities, in many towns of Central Greece and the Peloponnese the Security Battalions surrendered without resistance or bloodshed.
