The Franco-Sardinian alliance won the battle of Solferino, in which 40,000 soldiers were killed or wounded, on 24 June 1859. Napoleon III and Franz Joseph signed an armistice in July. Austria withdrew from Lombardy and France agreed not to liberate Venetia.

After suffering several defeats, France was crushed in Sedan, in September 1870. Germany emerged from the conflict united under Prussian rule. The peace treaty was signed in 1871, shortly after the proclamation of the German Empire. 1870年7月,普鲁士首相俾斯麦将埃姆斯电报公之于众从而引发了普法战争。1870年9月,在经历了战场上的多次失利之后,法国在色当战败。战后在普鲁士的统治之下德国实现了统一。1871年德意志帝国宣告成立后不久,法德双方签署了和平协议。 3 The Eastern Crisis - 1875-1878 1875-1878年近东危机 In August 1875, the repression of insurrections, first in Herzegovina, then in Bosnia and Bulgaria, provoked an exodus of Christians to Montenegro and Serbia. In June 1876, the two principalities declared war on the Ottoman Empire. Russia entered the war the following year, and thanks to its backing, Montenegro and Serbia were victorious. The Sultan asked for an armistice in January 1878. 1875年8月,起先在黑塞哥维纳,之后在波斯尼亚和保加利亚进行的对起义的镇压致使大量的基督徒逃往黑山和塞尔维亚。1876年6月,两个公国向奥斯曼帝国宣战。次年俄国加入了这场战争,在它的支持之下黑山和塞尔维亚取得了胜利。1878年1月苏丹要求停火。 86 Guantanamo – 2001 - … 2001年至今关塔那摩 Guantanamo Bay camp is part of America’s Guantanamo Bay Naval Station in Cuba. Since 2001, this maximum-security, temporary military detention centre has held persons captured or arrested in connection with the events of 11 September 2001 and their aftermath.

The Boers surrendered in 1902. 1886年,在由英国托管并处于荷裔定居者布尔人管理之下的南非自治地区德兰士瓦发现了金矿,这一发现引发了布尔人与英国统治者之间的矛盾。第二次布尔战争于1899年10月爆发。英国人建立了“集中营”,起初用于收容那些家园被焚毁的平民,之后很快被改造为监狱。布尔人于1902年投降。 6, 7, 8 The Russian-Japanese War - 1904-1905 1904-1905年日俄战争 Both Russia and Japan coveted control of Korea and Manchuria. In February 1904, the Japanese launched a surprise attack against the British garrison in Port Arthur (China), laying siege to the town.

By the end of the year, both sides had become bogged down in their respective positions. The United States’ entry into the war in 1917 upset the balance of power in favour of the Entente.

The Russian counteroffensive was defeated on the outskirts of Warsaw. The Peace of Riga, which was signed in March 1921, returned a number of territories to Poland. 1918年波兰恢复独立之后,试图恢复其由苏俄、德国和奥匈帝国所控制的领土。希望将布尔什维克革命传播到西欧的苏俄在1919年春袭击了波兰。波兰予以还击并一直将战线推进到基辅。苏俄的反击在华沙郊外遭到挫败。1921年3月双方签署的《里加和约》将大面积领土重新划归波兰。 17, 18 The Greco-Turkish War - 1921-1922 1921-1922年希土战争 After the First World War and the allied occupation of the Ottoman Empire, Mustafa Kemal (Atatürk) rebelled against the government and refused to see the empire broken up by the Treaty of Sevres.

The League of Nations’ attempt at reconciliation was fruitless, and Italian forces based in Eritrea invaded Ethiopian territory in October 1935. At the end of a struggle during which the Italian army used chemical weapons, Abyssinia was conquered in the spring of 1936. Emperor Haile Selassie went into exile and Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia united to form Italian East Africa. 1934年末,意大利和阿比西尼亚(今“埃塞俄比亚”)之间的关系在边界事件发生之后开始恶化。国际联盟促成其和解的努力毫无结果,1935年10月驻在厄立特里亚的意大利军队入侵了埃塞俄比亚。意大利军队在战争快结束时使用了化学武器,阿比西尼亚于1936年春被占领。皇帝海尔·塞拉西流亡出境而埃塞俄比亚、厄立特里亚和索马里共同构成了意属东非。 20, 21 The Spanish Civil War - 1936-1939 1936-1939 年西班牙内战 In 1936, General Francisco Franco organized a military uprising against the leftist Republican government that had just won the elections.

From 1939 to 1942, the Axis employed a blitzkrieg strategy and swept all before it. After the battle of Stalingrad in 1943 and the American landing in Normandy in 1944, the Allies gained the upper hand in Europe. In May 1945, Germany’s capitulation ended the war in Europe. In Asia, the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 led to Japan’s surrender. The war took a heavy toll: 50 million dead, the victims, soldiers and civilians, of the fighting, the Nazi genocide, the aerial bombardment of towns and cities and the first use of the atomic bomb. 1939年9月1日德国入侵波兰引发了第二次世界大战,交战双方是主要由德国、意大利、日本组成的轴心国与以中国、法国、英国、美国等国组成的同盟国。从1939年到1942年,轴心国采用了闪电战的战略,战火蔓延。1943年的斯大林格勒战役和1944年的美国诺曼底登陆之后,同盟国在欧洲占了上风。1945年5月,德国投降结束了欧洲的战争。在亚洲,1945年8月日本投降。战争造成了巨大的伤亡:因战斗、纳粹屠杀、对城市和城镇的空袭和首次使用原子弹而死亡的受害者、士兵和平民共计5000万人。 40 The Korean War - 1950-1953 1950-1953年朝鲜战争 In 1948, two republics were created north and south of the 38th parallel.
