World War II was triggered by Germany's invasion of Poland on 1st September 1939. Having made a secret pact with the Russians, Adolf Hitler sent his forces on to conquer most of Continental Europe, but the anticipated invasion of Britain never came. The scope for travel around the subject of the Second World War is seemingly endless but we have pointed out below a few possible examples.
Perhaps the easiest place to interpret the events of 1939-1945 is Continental Europe. Head to France for the scene of the

CONFEDERATE BRIGADE HISTORIES
The brigade was the common tactical unit for both cavalry and infantry in the Civil War. It consisted, usually, of 4-6 regiments and would have a strength of, say, 4,000-5,000 men, all of whom were commanded by a brigadier general The division was the next largest unit in the Civil War armies and consisted normally of three brigades of 12,000-15,000 men, all of whom were commanded by a major general (although brigadier generals occasionally were in command). The corps was generally composed of two or more divisions, and except for a corps of cavalry, consisted of all branches of service. There were 43 corps, designated by Roman numerals, established in the Union army prior to the end of the Civil War, all commanded by a major general

Why Americans are still fighting over who was right and who was wrong in the Civil War BY ANDREW CURRY
Who won the Civil War? You'd have a hard time finding out at Gettysburg. Sure, there are plenty of artifacts in the dilapidated vistor center: cases full of gray and blue uniforms, fading regimental flags, and rows of shining rifles. Step outside, and you'll learn about the flanking movements and angles of fire, the storied charges and tactical gambits that decided the momentous three day battle. The 1,320 monuments, markers, and memorials that dot the fields of Gettysburg National Military Park pay special attention to troop movements and casualty lists, emphasizing the valor and courage of those who fought. Only a few mention the preservation of the Union; none celebrate the end of slavery.
For almost 2 million visitors each year, the Pennsylvania battlefield confirms everything they know from documentaries, Hollywood, and popular fiction: that the war was America's epic, a heroic conflict both sides fought for freedom. The same tale is told at battlefields across the country. And it's wrong. Gettysburg is the fight's most prominent battlefield, traditionally described there as "the high-water mark of the Confederacy," with the spotlight on Robert E. Lee's audacious generalship and the bravery of the Confederate charges. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and its "new birth of freedom," are relegated to a small monument across the street from the visitor center. That part of the story was "almost ignoredÊ...Êbecause it didn't agree with the older version of the battle" as a morally neutral conflict between two equally honorable foes, says Columbia University historian Eric Foner.

American Civil War Obsession

Summary:
The four years of the American Civil War, from 1861 to 1865, has managed to inspire and nurture a deep, romantic nostalgia for this period which, if anything, seems to be growing. At last count the number of books devoted to the civil war exceeds 60,000.
Today, the enthusiasm for civil war nostalgia is maintained not only in the passionate re-enactment of Civil War battles in full regalia, but also in museums, memorials, Confederate trivia quizzes and enduring organisations such as the Union of Confederate Daughters and Children of the Confederacy.
Now this obsession has spawned an imaginative book on the Civil War by an Australian with no formal connections to the war at all. Peter Minack is a teacher from Melbourne who's just published "Campaigning with Grant" a fictionalised account of the civil war seen through the eyes of John A. Rawlins, Chief of Staff to General Ulysees S. Grant. And one of the best accounts yet of reportage from the American South into this phenomenon is Tony Horwitz's "Confederates in the Attic".

Later, Decoration Day became Memorial Day in most states and territories. General Logan's order began, 'The thirtieth of May 1868 is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country (during the late rebellion) and whose bodies lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land...' The Services were held in Carbondale, Illinois, and Col. E.J. Ingersoll led 219 Union veterans parading to the cemetery where Gen. Logan gave the principal speech which included these words: 'Every man's life belongs to his country and no man has the right to refuse it when his country calls for it!'"

This site was founded with the intent of collecting copies of or links to as many primary documents from the period of the secession crisis as is reasonably possible, with the goal of shedding light on the causes of secession, hence of the war.

    Exploring the Civil War in West Virginia Well known for the fact that it was born of the Civil War, the state of West Virginia is less identified with the battles that were fought to win control of its rugged mountains. Serving as the gateway to the Shenandoah Valley, this northwestern Virginia territory, and those who held it, played a crucial role in the entire region being included in the new state. One of the most critical engagements in July 1861 at Rich Mountain, very early in the war, gave the Union full control of the area. The last significant battle in the region, in November 1863 saw Confederate troops overwhelmed by the advance of federal infantry, causing a permanent retreat south further into Virginia.
