The first trans-Atlantic hero? General James Wolfe and British North America
Article
Early on the morning of 8 June 1758, British frigates unleashed their broadsides upon French shore defences at Gabarus Bay, on the foggy and surf-lashed island of Cape Breton.

Historian article

Denazification was one of the most ambitious attempts ever at provoking an artificial revolution; it is reasonable to assume...
