First And Second Russian Armies
1,460 words
The peace between France and Russia in 1807 lasted
for five years but was not satisfactory to either
side. The Tilsit settlement was thought of by
Napoleon as no more than a convenient truce. In
1807 he had been in no position to invade Russia
but there was no way that he could tolerate
another European power for very long. Napoleon
felt that a war with Russia was necessary for
crushing England by crushing the only power still
strong enough him any trouble by joining her.

What come to mind when you hear the word knight?

when you were younger and saw someone in shining
armor, fighting a dragon and rescuing ladies in
distress. But actually these are myths about the
knight. They never fought dragons or rescued
ladies in distress. They did however fight battles
and wars. A knight was someone who was given land

... kind of trust would be exciting to have with
any horse. I am working on that with the horse I
have had for a while. If we are alone together he
trusts me that much but as soon as someone else is
around, especially a man, there is a limit to his
trust. I read the story about Maestoso Bring and
the singer, Maria Jeritza, who rode him in the
opera The Girl of the Golden West (Podhajsky 65)

The trial of the Greek philosopher, Socrates, was
one of the most controversial trials in recorded
history. The outlandish accusations presented by
Socrates accusers were cloaked in cleaver speech

him. The just philosopher knows this, but rather
than play the game of his accusers he speaks the
truth and this eventually leads to his death. The
500 Athenian "judges" convict Socrates by a narrow
margin of 280 to 220, but if I had been on the
jury I wo...
