The Epic of 1917
Before discussing the cannons of Mărăști, one must understand the deplorable state of the country at the beginning of 1917. Following the disastrous campaign of 1916, two-thirds of Romanian territory, including Bucharest, was under German and Austro-Hungarian occupation. The Government, the Royal Family, and the remnants of the army had retreated to Moldavia.Moldavia had become a vast refugee camp. Famine, the biting cold, and typhus were ravaging the population, killing more people than the enemy's bullets. However, amidst this apocalyptic landscape, a miracle occurred: the reorganization of the army. Under the guidance of the French Military Mission led by General Henri Berthelot, the Romanian soldier was rearmed, trained in modern warfare tactics, and, most importantly, restored to his dignity. King Ferdinand’s promises regarding land reform and universal suffrage transformed peasants into soldiers ready for the ultimate sacrifice.

My boyfriend and I had a conversation about religion the other day that sparked my thoughts on something that has long confused me. My God is from the Bible and jealousy is often deemed a "bad" emotion, so... why does the Bible say that God is a jealous God?

Reform or Replace? The Future of Global Governance
Reform or Replace? The Future of Global Governance Global governance stands at a critical crossroads. Institutions created after World War II—especially the United Nations—were designed to prevent another global catastrophe. For decades, they provided platforms for dialogue, coordination, and conflict management. But today, many people question whether these institutions still work as intended. The growing debate is no longer just about reform. It is about whether global governance should be repaired or replaced entirely.

Can Global Peace Exist Without a Global Authority?
Can Global Peace Exist Without a Global Authority? The idea of global peace without a global authority sounds appealing to some people. In theory, nations could manage their own affairs, respect each other’s borders, and resolve disputes peacefully without an overarching institution telling them what to do. Supporters of this view argue that global bodies are slow, biased, and often ineffective. But history and current events raise a difficult question: can lasting global peace truly exist without a central authority to guide it?

Who Replaces the United Nations If It Fails?
