Cassius's strategic sense is presented by Plutarch as superior to that of his commander. Little is said of any contribution by Publius Crassus until a critical juncture at the river Balissus (Balikh), where most of the officers thought the army ought to make camp, rest after a long march through hostile terrain, and reconnoiter. Marcus Crassus instead is inspired by the eagerness of Publius and his Celtic cavalry to do battle, and after a quick halt in ranks for refreshment, the army marches headlong into a Parthian trap.For overviews of the Parthian campaign and the Battle of Carrhae, see Martin Sicker, The Pre-Islamic Middle East (Greenwood Publishing Group, 2000), pp.

German and Soviet troops fraternizing in the area of the Yaselda River, February 1918 Treaty of Rapallo, Joseph Wirth with Leonid Krasin, Georgy Chicherin and Adolf Joffe, 1922 The outcome of the First World War was disastrous for both German Reich and Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. During the war, the Bolsheviks struggled for survival, and Vladimir Lenin had no option except recognize the independence of Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine. Moreover, facing a German military advance, Lenin and Leon Trotsky were forced to enter into the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk,Text of the 3 March, 1918 Peace Treaty of Brest-Litovsk which ceded large swathes of western Russian territory to the German Empire. On 11 November 1918, the Germans signed armistice with the Allies, ending the First World War on the Western Front.

In October 1941, the Nazi Germany military advance into the Soviet Union reached Lokot area near the city of Bryansk and captured it on October 6, 1941. In November 1941, an engineer at the local alcohol plant, Bronislav Kaminski, and a local technical school teacher, Konstantin Voskoboinik, approached the German military administration with proposals to assist them in establishing a civil administration and local police. The Lokot area was, before the beginning of the war on the Eastern Front, designated for the incarceration of people forbidden to return to their previous homes in major cities of the Soviet Union – as Kaminski himself was. Voskoboinik was appointed by the Germans as starosta of the "Lokot volost" and head of the local militia unit. The militia headed by Voskoboinik began with 200 men, and was to assist the Germans in conducting their different activities, which included murders of civilians loyal to or accused of loyalty to the Soviet authorities or Soviet partisans.

The Shenchuan Iron Bridge, a simple suspension bridge, stood at what is today Tacun of Weixi Lisu Autonomous County in the Dêqên Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of northwestern Yunnan Province, and was probably built to help the Tibetan military advance against the Kingdom of Nanzhao during its invasions between 682 and 704. The Tibetans stationed a frontier command office in the town called the Shenchuan Iron Bridge jiedushi. The bridge facilitated trade between the two countries until 794 when the Nanzhao realigned with the Tang Dynasty and destroyed the bridge in a war with the Tibetan Empire. 冯智, 吐蕃南诏神州铁桥, 西藏研究 1992-06-14 茶马古道：征服世界屋脊的文化之脉 2014-12-01 The oldest bridge still in use on the Yangtze is the Jinlong Bridge in Lijiang, a simple iron chain suspension bridge first built during the Qing Dynasty from 1876 to 1880.

It was believed that even if it could not win non-Igbo support, the new state might at least physically divide Biafra from the Nigerian federal forces. Citing the deaths of Mid-Western residents in the northern riots and the region's antebellum support for a confederate government in Nigeria, Okonkwo declared that the Republic of Benin would support Biafra in all causes and would participate in organisations such as the Commonwealth of Nations and the Organisation of African Unity. However, Okonkwo knew that the new state could not last: he and other officials had discussed an independence declaration two weeks earlier on 5 September without coming to agreement, and the announcement was recorded in a short lull as he and his military forces retreated in the face of a federal government military advance. Later in the same day, government troops reached Benin City, the Republic of Benin's capital city, and the British High Commissioner reported crowds lining the streets to celebrate the reconquest.

Family syndrome was a term used by the United States military to describe a recurring situation in the Army of the Republic of Vietnam towards the end of the Vietnam War, in which ARVN soldiers confronted by the North Vietnamese military advance deserted their posts in order to rescue their families, contributing to a collapse of ARVN forces. Following the 1968 general mobilization of the ARVN, a large number of troops had their families living in close proximity to the positions they were fighting to defend, rather than far away and safely behind the lines. Accordingly, if the enemy appeared likely to break through the ARVN defenses, it was in the interest of the individual ARVN soldier to desert to guide his family to safety, but to the great collective detriment of the ARVN defense. Family syndrome was described as a major factor in the ARVN's collapse, and the second-most common reason for desertions.

After Christmas, however, the increasing Turkish inflexibility on generally all significant clauses and rumors of an imminent Turkish military advance on Istanbul led Curzon to seek a private meeting with İsmet. Curzon found the Turkish foreign minister "impervious to argument, warning or appeal, and can only go on repeating the same catchwords, indulging in the same futil quibbles, and making the same childish complaints". Curzon's intention of presenting the Turks with a preliminary treaty was further hindered by a lack of correspondence from Poincaré in regards to the acceptability of the conditions presented to France. In mid-January 1923, Maurice Bompard, who had taken the place of the sickly Barrere as chief French delegate, visited Paris to relay with Poincaré and returned to the Conference with a document of 24 headings dictated by Poincaré that represented a French demand for substantial concessions to Turkey on most issues to bring about a faster conclusion.

Back in Europe, responding to a characteristically devious provocation from Chancellor Bismarck, the French parliament voted to declare war against Prussia on 19 July 1870. Lambert's unit found itself close to Sedan where the French commander Marshal de MacMahon had decided to concentrate military resources in order to block an anticipated Prussian military advance through Belgium. By this time Lambert was serving with the 2nd Marine Infantry Regiment ("2e Régiment d'Infanterie de Marine") which formed part of the so-called Blue Division which in a series of savage engagements during the wider Battle of Sedan captured and then recaptured Bazeilles from I Royal Bavarian Corps under the command of General von der Thann. With a handful of men Lambert was given the task of organising the defence of the Rougerie Inn which had become a key focus of the fighting and which later became a little museum known as the House of the Last Cartridge ("Maison de la dernière cartouche").

The persecution in the jungle had to be suspended the next day due to the fatigue of the troops and the lack of proper marching rations. The advance on Iquitos seemed difficult, given the resistance that was predicted on the road to Iquitos and the state of the Colombian troops that already accused the rigor of the jungle, while a longer delay could benefit the sending of more reinforcements to Putumayo. This discussion was settled by a decision of the League of Nations that ordered a cease-fire at a time when, in any case, the military advance Colombian seemed to have favorable points: a Peruvian company composed of 93 men under the command of Captain Manuel Balderrago, surrendered without fire a single shot before a small scouting party with a dozen soldiers who worked in the vicinity of the Güepí-Pantoja trail under the orders from Captain Pompilio Duarte and Second Lieutenant Guillermo Aldana. Intimidated by the Colombian picket, the Peruvians handed over 58 rifles, 3 machine guns and their ammunition.

Nechama Tec, Defiance: The Bielski Partisans Like almost all later major actions against partisans or those around them, operation Bamberg consisted of four phases: :Phase 1: Executing a large encirclement, in this case with a diameter of , until 28 March inclusively. :Phase 2: Tightening the encirclement - in this case until 31 March inclusively, :Phase 3: The so-called clearing out of the cauldron in the form of the last concentric attack - in this case on 1 and 2 April, and :Phase 4: The so-called mopping up backwards - here the repeated thorough cleaning and crossing of the area in backward direction up to the second initial position, during which the villages and farmsteads lying inside the inner target area were destroyed together with the majority of their inhabitants, in this case between 3 and 6 April (see figure 4). Fighting with the partisans and losses on the German side were most frequent in the third phase. The infamous mass crimes, the destruction of villages and the murder of their inhabitants, occurred in phase 3 and mainly in phase 4, when after conclusion of the coordinated military advance with daily objectives to be reached under all circumstances more time was left therefor.
