Description
 
Forgotten Front: Italy, June 1944–May 45 On 5 June 1944, Rome fell to the Allies. It was the first Axis capital to do so, and it should have been huge news. However, D-Day took place the next day. As one reporter put it at the time, Allied forces in Italy—and across the Mediterranean—suddenly “become performers without an audience.” Italy remained a backwater for the rest of the war, but here is our analysis of its continued strategic importance.
Additional feature articles:
  • 17th Century Corporate Wars The Portuguese were the first Europeans to reach the East Indies. When those ships returned to Lisbon, the value of the spices they carried exceeded the tax revenue from all of Portugal. The British entered the region after founding the East India Company in 1600, and the Dutch followed with their company two years later. Those nations spent no taxes to win colonies there; instead, the corporations raised the money with stock sales; they took the risks, and they won empires.
  • The Battle of Parwan: Afghanistan, 1221 At an uncertain date in September 1221, at an uncertain location in Central Asia, we know for certain the army of the Khwarazmian Empire defeated an invading Mongol army. That Mongol defeat set off insurgencies at places like Merv, Bukhara, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Iran and Herat. The illusion of Mongol invincibility had been broken, and it took the Mongols two years to reestablish their sovereignty.
  • The Cenepa War In January and February 1995, the armies of Ecuador and Peru engaged in combat in the high Andes along their common border while their air forces contested the skies above. It became known as the Cenepa War—after the headwaters region of the river of that name where the fighting took place. Here is our analysis.
