Halliburton disappearance

I think the last known contact with Richard Halliburton's ship was March 23, not 28. -- Tetraminoe 00:59, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Does anyone know what the "Soviet Union attacks Poland" entry is about? Is this the wrong date for the Sept. 17th invasion or is this some other error? 198.112.236.6 21:09, 19 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

James Naismith

James Naismith was the first to invent basketball. According to kenyan basketball federation, tony Mbatau managed to be the best basketballer of all times.

Where is the article?

Just where in the hell did the article for 1939 go? You only have half of January in there!! Draig goch20 10:33, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have put the article of 07 February 2006 back on. Someone deleted the entire 1939 article and only left the January part of the article standing. This article was reconstructed by me on the 08 February 2006 which I think was an act of vandalism, this problem clearly has been sorted now. Draig goch20 12:37, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And again ... the events are not listed any longer. 86.144.198.241 19:54, 29 December 2006 (UTC) (usually michaelritchie200 but not logged in)[reply]

I was attempting to recreate the events section from other wikipedia aritcles, mostly the dates of the year, but somehow my dates got swapped around on my listings. Therefore have deleted the work i did over the last week --Hammard 00:00, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Item for January 23rd on Dutch War Scare

As currently written, the item reads, 'The "Dutch War Scare' leads to a major change in British policies towards Europe."

What change could this possibly be? I am not a professional historian, but I am pretty sure one would find broad agreement throughout the field that there were no "major" changes in HMG's foreign policies regarding Europe between Munich (September of 1938) and Prague (March of 1939).

At Munich, HMG had clearly, publically, and practically demonstrated that British policy would be to work with Germany, Italy, and France to secure European peace, even to the detriment of previous security arrangements. As William Manchester has written, "On March 10, only five days before Hitler's Prague coup...(Secretary of State for War Baron Hoare-Belisha, speaking in Commons) "had predicted that if Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Chamberlain and Daladier were to work in tandem they could banish nightmares of war and burdens of armaments and thus 'in an incredibly short period of time transform the whole history of the world.'" (The Last Lion: Alone, p. 389). Thus, almost on the eve of Hitler's seizure of what was left of Czechoslovakia, HMG were very publically calling for a continuation of HMGs existing policies of securing peace through co-operation with Germany, Italy, and France. In fact, although Chamberlain's rhetoric began to change with his famous speech at Birmingham on March 17, where Chamberlain publically executed an "about face" (Manchester), the first material change in policy comes only with Chamberlain's unconditional guarantee of Polish independence of March 31, which for the first time publically committed HMG to ultimately break with Hitler unless he should back down.

Suggest this sentence be removed unless someone can explain what the "major" changes were that occurred in British European policy in January of 1939. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.137.156.15 (talk) 16:59, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
