In early 1950, Evita fainted in public and underwent surgery a few days later. On 4 June 1952, Evita rode with Juan Perón in a parade through Buenos Aires in celebration of his re-election as President of Argentina. Evita was by this point so ill that she was unable to stand without support. Underneath her oversized fur coat was a frame made of plaster and wire that allowed her to stand. She developed uterine cancer and was the first Argentine to undergo chemotherapy (a novel treatment at that time).

Accordingly, Berlin became the main route by which East Germans left for the West.\n\nThose caught trying to leave East Berlin were subjected to heavy penalties, but with no physical barrier and subway train access still available to West Berlin, such measures were ineffective. The Berlin sector border was essentially a 'loophole' through which Eastern Bloc citizens could still escape.

As part of this exercise, the Jagdbombers of Jagdbombergeschwader (JaBoG) 32, based at Lechfeld Airbase, south of Augsburg, were to fly a triangular route from Würzburg to Laon and then to Memmingen. Two F-84 fighter-bombers lost their course in the process of flying this route, with the compass on one plane misreading by between 40 and 60 degrees. Additionally, a strong westerly wind was greater in strength than had been forecast. On their way from Würzburg to Laon, the two pilots had become so disoriented that they mistook Li?ge in Belgium for Reims in France. Shortly after, the pair were picked up by NATO radar stations near Warburg, in southern Westphalia, heading east, in the direction of Königs Wusterhausen, south of Berlin. The two pilots missed a radio call from the radar stations advising them to turn around because they were talking to each other, trying to establish their location.\n\nIt was only when reaching a position north of Leipzig, deep within East German air space, that Pfefferkorn sent a Mayday signal, which was picked up, to their surprise, by the French-controlled airport at Tegel in West Berlin, which gave them permission to land.

On 29 November, the UN General Assembly voted 33 to 13, with 10 abstentions, in favour of the Partition Plan, while making some adjustments to the boundaries between the two states proposed by it. The division was to take effect on the date of British withdrawal. Both the U.S. and the Soviet Union supported the resolution.

Transjordan took control of the remainder of the West Bank, putting it under military rule, and the Egyptian military took control of the Gaza Strip.\n\nThe Israelis refer to this period as their War of Independence or War of Liberation, because it saw the birth of the State of Israel. Their traditional historiography also sometimes makes this start on 15 May 1948. Palestinians and Arabs refer to this as al-Nakba (the catastrophe), because of the huge number of displaced people and the failure of their nationalist aspirations to create their state with their defeat in the war.;;;X EVT_8007641_A;The conflict was long coming;The conflict was long coming;The conflict was long coming;The conflict was long coming;The conflict was long coming;The conflict was long coming;The conflict was long coming;The conflict was long coming;;;X EVT_8007641_B;Use all power to prevent war;Use all power to prevent war;Use all power to prevent war;Use all power to prevent war;Use all power to prevent war;Use all power to prevent war;Use all power to prevent war;Use all power to prevent war;;;X EVT_8007649_NAME;Israeli Defense Forces;Israeli Defense Forces;Israeli Defense Forces;Israeli Defense Forces;Israeli Defense Forces;Israeli Defense Forces;Israeli Defense Forces;Israeli Defense Forces;;;X EVT_8007649_DESC;The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) traces its roots to Jewish paramilitary organizations in the New Yishuv, starting with the Second Aliyah (1904 to 1914).

The Law of Return was modified in 1970 to include non-Jews with a Jewish grandparent, and their spouses.\n\nThe law since 1970 applies to those born Jews (having a Jewish mother or maternal grandmother), those with Jewish ancestry (having a Jewish father or grandfather) and converts to Judaism (Orthodox, Reform, or Conservative denominations—not secular—though Reform and Conservative conversions must take place outside the state, similar to civil marriages).\n\nIn the Law of Return, the State of Israel put into practice the Zionist movement's 'credo' as pledged in Israel's Declaration of Independence and recognized by the League of Nations in 1922, when charging Britain with the duty of establishing a Jewish National Home, and by the United Nations within the Partition Plan of 1947 which provided for establishment of Israel as a Jewish state.;;;X EVT_8007670_A;OK;OK;OK;OK;OK;OK;OK;OK;;;X EVT_8007704_NAME;Italian Constitutional Referendum;Italian Constitutional Referendum;Italian Constitutional Referendum;Italian Constitutional Referendum;Italian Constitutional Referendum;Italian Constitutional Referendum;Italian Constitutional Referendum;Italian Constitutional Referendum;;;X EVT_8007704_DESC;A constitutional referendum was held in Italy on 2 June 1946, a key event of Italian contemporary history. Until 1946, Italy was a kingdom ruled by the House of Savoy, kings of Italy since the Risorgimento and previously rulers of Savoy.

This growth was distributed fairly evenly across the economic classes, which some attribute to the strength of labor unions in this period—labor union membership peaked historically in the U.S. during the 1950s, in the midst of this massive economic growth. Much of the growth came from the movement of low income farm workers into better paying jobs in the towns and cities—a process largely completed by 1960. Congress created the Council of Economic Advisors, to promote high employment, high profits and low inflation. The Eisenhower administration (1953–1961) supported an activist contracyclical approach that helped to establish Keynesianism as a bipartisan economic policy for the nation. Especially important in formulating the CEA response to the recession—accelerating public works programs, easing credit, and reducing taxes—were Arthur F. Burns and Neil H. Jacoby. 'I am now a Keynesian in economics,' proclaimed Republican President Richard Nixon in 1969.\n\nThe 'Baby Boom' saw a dramatic increase in fertility in the period 1942–1957; it was caused by delayed marriages and childbearing during depression years, a surge in prosperity, a demand for suburban single-family homes (as opposed to inner city apartments) and new optimism about the future.

The speech, from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, was a defining moment of the American Civil Rights Movement, being delivered to over 200,000 civil rights supporters. Widely hailed as a masterpiece of rhetoric, King's speech resembles the style of a Baptist sermon. It appeals to such recognizable and widely respected sources as the Bible and invokes the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the United States Constitution.\n\nAt the end of the speech, King departed from his prepared text for a partly improvised peroration on the theme of 'I have a dream', possibly prompted by Mahalia Jackson's cry, 'Tell them about the dream, Martin!'

In addition to European Recovery Program grants, the Export-Import Bank (an agency of the U.S. government) at the same time made long-term loans at low interest rates to finance major purchases in the U.S., all of which were repaid. In the case of Germany there also were 16 billion marks of debts from the 1920s which had defaulted in the 1930s, but which Germany decided to repay to restore its reputation. This money was owed to government and private banks in the U.S., France and Britain.

From their ranks, using Soviet advisers and equipment, Kim constructed a large army skilled in infiltration tactics and guerrilla warfare. Before the outbreak of the Korean War, Joseph Stalin equipped the KPA with modern medium tanks, trucks, artillery, and small arms. Kim also formed an air force, equipped at first with ex-Soviet propeller-driven fighter and attack aircraft. Later, North Korean pilot candidates were sent to the Soviet Union and China to train in MiG-15 jet aircraft at secret bases.\n\nAlthough original plans called for all-Korean elections sponsored by the United Nations in 1948, Kim persuaded the Soviets not to allow the UN north of the 38th parallel.

And this trust of the Russian people in the Soviet Government was the decisive strength, which secured the historic victory over the enemy of humanity – over fascism....'\n\nHowever, the Soviet Union recovered its production capabilities and overcame pre-war capabilities, becoming the country with the most powerful land army in history by the end of the war, and having the most powerful military production capabilities. In the aftermath of World War II, the Soviet Union extended its political and military influence over Eastern Europe, in a move that was seen by some as a continuation of the older policies of the Russian Empire. Some territories that had been lost by Soviet Russia in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk were annexed by the Soviet Union after World War II.;The Soviets bore the brunt of World War II because the West did not open up a second ground front in Europe until the invasion of Italy and the Battle of Normandy. Approximately 26.6 million Soviets, among them 18 million civilians, were killed in the war.The retreating Soviet army was ordered to pursue a 'scorched earth' policy whereby retreating Soviet troops were ordered to destroy civilian infrastructure and food supplies so that the Nazi German troops could not use them.

In May 1961, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson visited Saigon and enthusiastically declared Diem the 'Winston Churchill of Asia.' Asked why he had made the comment, Johnson replied, 'Diem's the only boy we got out there.' Johnson assured Diem of more aid in molding a fighting force that could resist the communists.\n\nKennedy's policy toward South Vietnam rested on the assumption that Diem and his forces must ultimately defeat the guerrillas on their own. He was against the deployment of American combat troops and observed that 'to introduce U.S. forces in large numbers there today, while it might have an initially favorable military impact, would almost certainly lead to adverse political and, in the long run, adverse military consequences.' The quality of the South Vietnamese military, however, remained poor. Bad leadership, corruption, and political promotions all played a part in emasculating the ARVN.\n\nKennedy advisers Maxwell Taylor and Walt Rostow recommended that U.S. troops be sent to South Vietnam disguised as flood relief workers.

He was responsible for the creation of several important Luftwaffe aircraft of World War II, including the Fw 190 fighter aircraft, the Ta 152 fighter-interceptor and the FW 200 Condor airliner.\n\nAfter the war Tank negotiated with the United Kingdom, the Nationalist government of China, and representatives of the Soviet Union and when the negotiations proved unsuccessful, accepted an offer from Argentina to work at its aerotechnical institute, the Instituto Aerotécnico in Cordoba under the name of (Prof. Dr.) Pedro Matthies. It is recorded that the British government decided not to offer him a contract on the grounds that he was too important, and they could not see how he could be integrated into an existing research project or design group.\n\nThe Instituto Aerotécnico later became Argentina's military aeroplane factory, the Fabrica Militar de Aviones. There, he designed the IAe Pulqui II based on the Focke-Wulf Ta 183 design that had reached mock-up stage by the end of the war.\n\nWhen President Juan Perón fell from power in 1955 Tank moved to India and finally joined Hindustan Aeronautics, where he designed the Hindustan Marut fighter-bomber, the first military aircraft constructed in India. Tank left Hindustan Aeronautics in 1967 and by the 1970s had returned to live in Berlin.

Mutke never claimed he was the first person to break the sound barrier, but instead argued that his flight was merely proof that the Me 262 was capable of reaching and exceeding Mach 1 and that therefore other German fighter pilots may have done so even before him.\n\nAfter the war, Mutke moved to Argentina, where he flew Douglas DC-3s for several airlines. He later returned to Germany, where he completed medical training. He died in Munich in 2004, during a heart valve operation.

It is recorded that the British government decided not to offer him a contract on the grounds that he was too important, and they could not see how he could be integrated into an existing research project or design group.\n\nThe Instituto Aerotécnico later became Argentina's military aeroplane factory, the Fabrica Militar de Aviones.

Gen. Leslie Groves, responsible for the military direction of the Manhattan Project, expected to have another atomic bomb ready for use on 19 August, with three more in September and a further three in October. On 10 August, he sent a memorandum to Marshall in which he wrote that 'the next bomb . . should be ready for delivery on the first suitable weather after 17 or 18 August.' On the same day, Marshall endorsed the memo with the comment, 'It is not to be released over Japan without express authority from the President.'\n\nThere was already discussion in the War Department about conserving the bombs in production until Operation Downfall had begun.

It happened on the night before announcement of Japan's surrender to the Allies. \n\nLate on the night of August 12, 1945, young Major Kenji Hatanaka, along with other perpetrators spoke to War Minister Korechika Anami (the army minister and 'most powerful figure in Japan besides the Emperor himself'), and asked him to do whatever he could to prevent acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration. General Anami refused to say whether he would help the young officers in treason. All key generals were concerned about the possibility of a coup d'état to prevent the surrender. It was why General Torashiro Kawabe proposed that all senior officers present sign an agreement to carry out the emperor's order of surrender.\n\nAround 21:30 on August 14, Hatanaka's rebels set their plan into motion. Originally, Hatanaka hoped that simply occupying the palace and showing the beginnings of a rebellion would inspire the rest of the Army to rise up against the move to surrender. This notion guided him through much of the last days and hours and gave him the blind optimism to move ahead with the plan.\n\nAt some time after 01:00, Hatanaka and his men surrounded the palace. Hatanaka went to the office of Lt. General Takeshi Mori to ask him to join the coup. The cooperation of Mori, as commander of the 1st Imperial Guards Division, was crucial. When Mori refused to side with Hatanaka, Hatanaka killed him, fearing Mori would order the Guards to stop the rebellion. Hatanaka then used General Mori's official stamp to authorize Imperial Guards Division Strategic Order No. 584, a false set of orders created by his co-conspirators, which would greatly increase the strength of the forces occupying the Imperial Palace and Imperial Household Ministry, and 'protecting' the emperor.\n\nThe rebels, led by Hatanaka, spent the next several hours fruitlessly searching for people responsible for recording the surrender and the recordings of the surrender speech themselves. Around 03:00, Hatanaka was informed by Lieutenant Colonel Masataka Ida that the Eastern District Army was on its way to the palace to stop him, and that he should give up. Just before 05:00, as his rebels continued their search, Major Hatanaka went to NHK studios, and, brandishing a pistol, tried desperately to get some airtime to explain his actions but to no avail. Within an hour before the emperor's broadcast, sometime around 11:00, August 15, Hatanaka placed his pistol to his forehead, and shot himself. In Hatanaka's pocket was found his death poem: 'I have nothing to regret now that the dark clouds have disappeared from the reign of the Emperor.';The Kyujo Incident was an attempted military coup d'état in Japan at the end of the Second World War.

Just before 05:00, as his rebels continued their search, Major Hatanaka went to NHK studios, and, brandishing a pistol, tried desperately to get some airtime to explain his actions but to no avail. Within an hour before the emperor's broadcast, sometime around 11:00, August 15, Hatanaka placed his pistol to his forehead, and shot himself. In Hatanaka's pocket was found his death poem: 'I have nothing to regret now that the dark clouds have disappeared from the reign of the Emperor.';;;X EVT_8320011_A;The Army supports surrender;The Army supports surrender;The Army supports surrender;The Army supports surrender;The Army supports surrender;The Army supports surrender;The Army supports surrender;The Army supports surrender;;;X EVT_8320011_B;The Army is deeply inspired;The Army is deeply inspired;The Army is deeply inspired;The Army is deeply inspired;The Army is deeply inspired;The Army is deeply inspired;The Army is deeply inspired;The Army is deeply inspired;;;X EVT_8320030_NAME;Turning eye towards the East;Turning eye towards the East;Turning eye towards the East;Turning eye towards the East;Turning eye towards the East;Turning eye towards the East;Turning eye towards the East;Turning eye towards the East;;;X EVT_8320030_DESC;At the Potsdam conference we vowed to help the Allies in their fight against Japan.

The Bund held rallies with Nazi insignia and procedures such as the Hitler salute, and attacked the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jewish groups, Communism, ""Moscow-directed"" trade unions and the American boycotts of German goods. The organization claimed to show its loyalty to America by displaying the flag of the United States at Bund meetings, and declared that George Washington was ""the first Fascist"" who did not believe democracy would work.\n\nThe organization received no financial or verbal support from Germany, and on 1 March 1938 the Nazi government declared that no Reichsdeutsche could be a member of the Bund, and that no Nazi emblems were to be used by the organization.

After conviction, the Court stripped Pétain of all military ranks and honors, except Pétain's distinction as a Marshal of France, which it had no power to declare void.\n\nNow in his nineties, Pétain's physical and mental condition deteriorated to where he required round-the-clock nursing care. He died at Île d'Yeu on July 23, 1951, at the age of 95. His body is buried at a marine cemetery near the prison rather than in the grave prepared for him at Verdun battle memorial.;Following the Liberation of Paris on 25 August 1944, Pétain and his ministers were taken to Germany by the German forces. There, Fernand de Brinon established a government in exile at Sigmaringen—in which Pétain refused to participate—until 22 April 1945.\n\nThe Free French, fearing that the Allies could decide to put France under the rule of Allied military government strove to establish quickly the Provisional Government of the French Republic. The first action of that government was to re-establish republican legality throughout metropolitan France. The provisional government considered that the Vichy government had been unconstitutional and thus that all its actions had been illegal. All statutes, laws, regulations and decisions by the Vichy government, akcnowledged as illegal by the government, were thus made null and devoid of effects.\n\nDe Gaulle wrote later that Pétain's decision to return to France to face his accusers in person was 'certainly courageous'. De Gaulle's provisional government placed Pétain on trial, which took place from 23 July to 15 August 1945, for treason. He remained silent through most of the proceedings, after an initial statement that denied the right of the High Court, as presently constituted, to try him.

The PVA marched 'dark-to-dark' (19:00–03:00), and aerial camouflage was deployed. Meanwhile, General MacArthur speculated there was little risk of Chinese intervention in Korea, and that the PRC's opportunity for aiding the KPA had lapsed. He concluded that, although half of forces gathered in Manchuria might cross south, 'if the Chinese tried to get down to Pyongyang, there would be the greatest slaughter' without air force protection.\n\nAfter secretly crossing the Yalu River on 19 October, the PVA 13th Army Group launched the First Phase Offensive on 25 October, attacking the advancing UN forces near the Sino-Korean border.

The surprise assault resulted in the UN forces retreating back to the Ch'ongch'on River, while the Chinese unexpectedly disappeared into mountain hideouts following victory.";"On 20 August 1950, Premier Zhou Enlai informed the United Nations that 'Korea is China's neighbor...

The Potsdam Conference (July 17 to August 2, 1945) attempted to confront the delicate balance of power of the opposing governmental structures, democracy and communism. However despite the agreement on the partitioning of Germany and the call for an unconditional surrender of Japan, the conference did nothing to quell the increasing tensions between the Western Allies and the Soviets. The destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki sealed the fate of Japan, and the surrender documents were signed on the USS Missouri on September 2nd, 1945. Soviet and Western (U.S., British, and French) troops were located along a line through the center of Germany. Aside from a few minor adjustments, this would be the 'Iron Curtain' of the Cold War. With the onset of the Cold War in Europe in 1947, the East-West lines stabilized (except that Yugoslavia broke with the Soviets and gained American support). In Asia, however, there was much more movement as the Communists started gaining the upper hand. Communist hegemony covered one third of the world's land while the United States emerged as the world's more influential superpower, and formed a worldwide network of military alliances. For United States, containment of the expansion of Soviet influence became foreign policy doctrine; the expectation was that eventually the inefficient Soviet system would collapse of internal weakness, and no 'hot' war (that is, one with large-scale combat) would be necessary. Containment was supported by Democrats and internationalist Republicans (led by Senator Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan, Governor Thomas Dewey of New York, and general Dwight D.

In the late 1950s, a confrontation with China regarding the USSR's rapprochement with the West and what Mao Zedong perceived as Khrushchev's revisionism led to the Sino–Soviet split.\n\nDuring this period, the Soviet Union continued to realize scientific and technological exploits: Launching the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1 in 1957; a living dog, Laika in 1957; the first human being, Yuri Gagarin in 1961; the first woman in space, Valentina Tereshkova in 1963; Alexey Leonov, the first person to walk in space in 1965; the first soft landing on the moon by spacecraft Luna 9 in 1966 and the first moon rovers, Lunokhod 1 and Lunokhod 2. Khrushchev initiated 'The Thaw' (better known as Khrushchev's Thaw), a complex shift in political, cultural and economic life in the Soviet Union. This included some openness and contact with other nations and new social and economic policies with more emphasis on commodity goods, allowing living standards to rise dramatically while maintaining high levels of economic growth. Censorship was relaxed as well. Khrushchev's reforms in agriculture and administration, however, were generally unproductive.";;;X U32_DESC;"In June 1945, as an implementation of the February Yalta Conference directives, according to the Soviet interpretation, a Polish Provisional Government of National Unity was formed; it was soon recognized by the United States and many other countries.

The government was formed under Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and his conservative CDU/CSU coalition. The CDU/CSU was in power during most of the period since 1949. The capital was Bonn until it was moved to Berlin in 1990.\n\nWest Germany enjoyed prolonged economic growth beginning in the early 1950s (Wirtschaftswunder or 'Economic Miracle'). Industrial production doubled from 1950 to 1957, and gross national product grew at a rate of 9 or 10 percent per year, providing the engine for economic growth of all of Western Europe. Labor union supported the new policies with postponed wage increases, minimized strikes, support for technological modernization, and a policy of co-determination (Mitbestimmung), which involved a satisfactory grievance resolution system as well as requiring representation of workers on the boards of large corporations. The recovery was accelerated by the currency reform of June 1948, U.S. gifts of $1.4 billion as part of the Marshall Plan, the breaking down of old trade barriers and traditional practices, and the opening of the global market.\n\nThe most dramatic and successful policy event was the currency reform of 1948. On 21 June 1948, the Western Allies withdrew the old currency and replaced it with the new Deutsche Mark at the rate of 1 new per 10 old. This wiped out 90 percent of government and private debt, as well as private savings.

Its leader Dimitrov was close to the Yugoslav Communist leader Tito and believed that Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, as closely related South Slav peoples, should form a federation. This idea was not favoured by Stalin and there have long been suspicions that Dimitrov's sudden death in July 1949 was not accidental, although this has never been proven. It coincided with Stalin's expulsion of Tito from the Cominform and was followed by a 'Titoist' witch hunt in Bulgaria.

It was a federal realm of the British Crown – neither a colony nor a dominion, although the British Sovereign was represented by a governor general, as usual for dominions. It was intended eventually to become a dominion in the Commonwealth of Nations.\n\nThe Federation was established on 1 August 1953, with the aim of forging a middle way between a fully independent majority-ruled state and the white-dominated territories of South Africa, Angola, and Mozambique. It was intended to be a permanent entity, but ultimately crumbled because the black African nationalists wanted a greater share of power than the dominant minority white population was willing to concede. The rulers of the new black African states were united in wanting to end colonialism in Africa. With most of the world moving away from colonialism during this time (late 1950s – early 1960s), the United Kingdom was subjected to pressure to de-colonize from both the United Nations and the Organization of African Unity.

This was later raised to independence itself and Senanayake became the first Prime Minister of Sri Lanka. Later, John Kotelawala was the first prime minister to bring to the fore the issue of national languages that D. S. Senanayake had adroitly kept on the back burner, antagonising the Tamils and the Sinhalese by stating conflicting policies with regard to the status of Sinhala and Tamil as official languages.\n\nIn 1956 the Senate was abolished and Sinhala was established as the official language, with Tamil as a second language. Appeals to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London were abolished and plantations were nationalised to fulfil the election pledges of the Marxist program and to 'prevent the ongoing dis-investment by the owning companies'. In 1956 the Sinhala Only Act came into being. This established the Sinhalese language as the first and preferred language in commerce and education. In 1958 the first major riots between Sinhalese and Tamils flared up in Colombo which was a direct result of the government's language policy.;;;X U84_DESC;"After the war ended local parties started to develop in Chad.

When Houphouet-Boigny became the first president, his government gave farmers good prices for their products to further stimulate production. This was further boosted by a significant immigration of workers from surrounding countries.

It also became Africa's leading exporter of pineapples and palm oil.;Until 1958, governors appointed in Paris administered the colony of Ivory Coast, using a system of direct, centralized administration that left little room for Ivoirian participation in policy making.

In 1941 on the same day as the German invasion of Russia (22 June) the British took total control over Iraq and Kuwait.\n\nBy early 1961, the British had withdrawn their special court system, which handled the cases of foreigners resident in Kuwait, and the Kuwaiti Government began to exercise legal jurisdiction under new laws drawn up by an Egyptian jurist. On 19 June 1961, Kuwait became fully independent following an exchange of notes with the United Kingdom.\n\nWhen Kuwait became independent in 1961, Iraq claimed Kuwait, under the rationale that Kuwait had been part of the Ottoman Empire subject to Iraqi suzerainty. Iraq appeared to be mobilizing for a military invasion and on 27 June 1961 the emir of Kuwait requested assistance from the Saudi Arabian and British Governments. Britain rapidly deployed troops, aircraft and ships to the area (Operation Vantage).
