India, officially the Republic of India (IAST: Bhārat Gaṇarājya),[22][23][c] is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country (with over 1.2 billion people), and the most populous democracy in the world. Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the south-west, and the Bay of Bengal on the south-east, it shares land borders with Pakistan to the west;[d] China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the north-east; and Myanmar (Burma) and Bangladesh to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives; in addition, India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia.

Home to the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history.[24] Four religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism—originated here, whereas Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam arrived in the 1st millennium CE and also shaped the region's diverse culture. Gradually annexed by and brought under the administration of the British East India Company from the early 18th century and administered directly by the United Kingdom after the Indian Rebellion of 1857, India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence that was marked by non-violent resistance led by Mahatma Gandhi.

In 2015, the Indian economy was the world's seventh-largest by nominal GDP and third-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP).[18] Following market-based economic reforms in 1991, India became one of the fastest-growing major economies; it is considered a newly industrialised country. However, it continues to face the challenges of poverty, corruption, malnutrition and inadequate public healthcare. A nuclear weapons state and a regional power, it has the third-largest standing army in the world and ranks sixth in military expenditure among nations. India is a federal republic governed under a parliamentary system and consists of 29 states and 7 union territories. India is a pluralistic, multilingual, and a multi-ethnic society. It is also home to a diversity of wildlife in a variety of protected habitats.

The Polish-Soviet War

In 1917, a revolution sprung up in the Russian Empire. At the time, Russia was in the midst of one of the greatest conflicts in history - the Great War, also know as the First World War. The Revolution happened in February and aimed to restrict the Russian monarchy's power. The Revolution succeeded, making Russia a constitutional monarchy. But later, in October, another revolution would start - the October Revolution. The Communists, also known as the Bolsheviks, wanted to make Russia Communist. The revolution would take much longer than the February Revolution would - the October Revolution would last around 4 years, although it became more inactive in the later years.

The October Revolution would later become part of a much greater conflict, the Russian Civil War. Nations like Poland, Ukraine and others became independent from Russia and were eager to claim lands they thought of as rightfully theirs. The Polish attempted to expand as far east as possible.

Now, in early 1919, the Soviets decided to make a counter-attack, taking large parts of Poland in just two weeks. But it soon came to a halt, only to start up again in march. The Polish crossed the Neuman River, which would lead to a series of victories for the Polish, as they came as far as Daugava River.

In late May, 1920, the Soviets would end up in a series of victories, as they started their march westwards - pushing the Polish back. In early August, 1920, the Polish had been pushed back deep into Poland.

On the 10th of August 1920, Soviet Cossacks crossed the Vistula River towards Warsaw, the capital of Poland. They attacked from the west, but the main attack would actually come from the east.
However, the Polish had decoded transmissions from the Soviets and they were now trying to trick the Soviets into doing exactly that.
The Polish soon counterattacked, turning the tides of the attack on Warsaw.
Soon, a gap was found in the Soviet fronts and the Polish exploited this, continuing their march north.

The Soviet general, Tukhachevsky, ordered a general retreat to the Bug River to reassemble the armies. But his orders didn't make it or were too late when they arrived.

The Soviet northern divisions were now trapped, cut off from supply lines and from any communication with the Soviet leadership.
Meanwhile, the Soviet forces on the other side of Warsaw are starting to retreat back, as Tukhachevskys orders finally start to come in, but the Polish are still pushing at the same time.
The Soviet forces then take a defensive stance at the Polish-Lithuanian border, but the defense is broken in the Battle of the Niemen River.

Soon, the Bolsheviks sue for peace, ending the war and making the Polish independent for the second last time in history so far.

A painting of the ship bombarding Belgrade in 1914
SMS Körös was the first of the Körös-class river monitors built for the Austro-Hungarian Navy and completed in 1892. As part of the Danube Flotilla during World War I, the ship fought various Allied forces from Belgrade down the Danube to the Black Sea. Renamed Morava after the war, she was transferred to the newly created Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia), and remained in service throughout the interwar period, although not always in full commission. During the German-led Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941, Morava was the flagship of the 2nd Mine Barrage Division, operating on the Tisza river. The river monitor fought off attacks by the Luftwaffe and shot down one enemy aircraft, but was forced to withdraw to Belgrade. High river levels and low bridges made navigation difficult, and the ship was scuttled by the crew on 11 April. She was later raised by the navy of the Axis puppet state of Croatia and continued to serve as Bosna until striking a mine and sinking in June 1944. (Full article...)

The Biham–Middleton–Levine traffic model for a 144 x 89 lattice, with a traffic density of 38%. The model has self-organized to a periodic intermediate phase. The red cars and blue cars take turns to move; the red ones only move rightwards, and the blue ones move downwards. Every time, all the cars of the same colour try to move one step if there is no car in front of it. This video has been sped up such that only one in four frames is shown.
