War Facts

Whenever there is a war of any kind you can count on each side claiming that they're doing the right thing and they might even believe in it. The problem is the perception of war, even after the war is over. The best example of this problem is World War II, before, during and even after World War II each side claimed that the other side was evil and that it was a treat to their lifestyle and even their very existence. The best way to explain this problem is probably "History is written by the victors".

War facts aren't necessarily what happens or what happened it is what the leaders want you to believe, World War II is an important example because never before was so much propaganda used like in this war. Every major power in the war claimed that they're the good guys and that the enemy were the bad guys, this is an understandable position but it get's problematic when you can't find the real war facts after the war itself ended. Because of one thing or another governments are reluctant to admit that their propaganda wasn't true and for some that isn't even necessary, nobody asks the winners if they're telling the truth, only the losers have to justify their actions.

After World War II came the Cold War and that may be an even better example of the distortion of war facts. While the US and USSR didn't really fight in the Cold War there was a battle of ideologies and because of that both sides heavily depended and used their propaganda machines. The US government made a great effort of convincing the general public of the need to fight communism and while the USSR didn't directly have to do that they needed the people to keep them in power so they did anti-capitalist propaganda as well. As you can see, modern warfare isn't just fighting the enemy with guns and tanks, the distortion of war facts is just as important if not even more important than the battles themselves.

The Timeline Of World War 2

Most historians agree that the World War 2 timeline begins with Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939. Great Britain and France previously allowed Germany to annex Austria and gave them part of Czechoslovakia all to avoid war. With the invasion of Poland it was clear that Germany had no respect for the previous agreement that they won't invade any other countries if granted the land of Czechoslovakia. Two days after Poland was invaded France and Britain declared war on Nazi Germany.

Next year Germany would attack Norway and Denmark, Denmark's surrender was almost immediate but Norway fought the Germans with help from France and Britain but ultimately Norway would surrender as well. Not long after Germany invaded other countries like Holland, Belgium and France as well using their Blitzkrieg - literally "lightning war" strategy, Paris fell just two weeks after the initial invasion of France.

After conquering France Germany changed their focus to Britain, at this point in the World War 2 timeline comes along the first victory over the Germans in World War 2. Britain proved itself superior in the air and Hitler postponed his invasion plans, indefinitely as it would later turn out.

After that the tide of the war would change, in 1941 Germany would invade Russia. In the first months Germany was superior to the Russian army but the Russian winter would prove fatal to the German army.

In 1943 for the second time in the World War 2 timeline Germany would face their first major defeat in Stalingrad. From then on it would become one defeated after another, while Japan advanced in the Pacific throughout 1943 and 1944 Mussolini would lose control over Italy and the Allies would heavily bomb Germany destroying their industry and to make things worse for Hitler Russia was on the move as well, winning back territory on the Eastern front. In the timeline of world war 2 Germany would have no great victories anymore, the Allies would prove themselves superior and would finally start invading Germany itself in 1945. Hitler killed himself on 30th of April 1945 ending the war in Europe.

Four months later the USA dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki thereby ending World War 2

The Legend Of The Club 27

The 27 Club refers to a group of musicians who all died at the age of 27. The club is also known as the Curse of 27 and Club 27 and it is often referred by other names as well. All of the musicians have several things in common, all of them were famous musicians and of course they were all 27 when they died.

The idea of the club first started after several famous and renowned musicians died all of them at the age of 27. Many consider the first "member" of the club to be Robert Johnson, legendary blues player. The thing that is interesting about Johnson compared to the other members of the club is that he already had a legend about his death, before the idea of the 27 Club came to be. Less known in his time but later would become legend that Robert Johnson became a master of the guitar in a very short time, because of this a legend formed that he sold his soul to the devil for mastery of his instrument.

The idea for the 27 Club first appeared in 1994, to that point there were already many famous musicians who all died at the age of 27. Robert Johnson, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Kurt Cobain after all of these musicians died a pattern emerged, they all died when they were 27 years old and that's how the 27 Club formed.

Almost all of the musicians that are usually included in the 27 Club had at least some controversy related to their death. Robert Johnson's cause of death is unknown to this day, though it is believed to have been strychnine poisoning. The circumstances of Brian Jones' death are also suspicious, he supposedly drowned in his swimming pool but it was speculated that he might have been murdered. Jimmy Hendrix suffocated after taking too many sleeping pills.

Throughout the years the 27 Club has remained controversial because of the suspicious deaths of its "members" and the "rock and roll" lifestyle they led.

The Short History Of The Houston Texans

The Houston Texans don't have a particularly long history which is only logical when you consider that the team was only established in 2002. The Texans are a expansion team that were created to fill the gap left by the Huston Oilers after their move to Tennessee. After the Oilers moved Houston desperately need a pro football team.

Because the National Football League was more interested in bringing a team to L.A. because of it's TV viewership Houston was left in a bad position. In 1999 after it was decidd that L.A should get the expansion team the National Football League soon realized that Los Angeles isn't ready to take on a new team, they didn't have a clear ownership plan for the team nor did they have a home stadium for the future team. At this point it was decided that Houston should get the expansion team as it already had a cutting edge stadium and the ownership for the team was already worked out.

In 2000 the construction of Reliant Stadium the future home of the Houston Texans, the owners and staff of the team worked quickly to create a name, logo and uniforms for the team. Later that year the Texans' logo was revealed during their christening. As head coach they hired Dom Capers and by 2002 the team was ready for the prime time.

They played their first match against the Cowboys and they won! The first win for the Houston Texans and they were only the second expansion team in the National Football League to win their first game during the regular season. Though it should be said that after that game, they lost the next 5 in a row.

The Texans had moderate success during the following years, they are very well supported by their fans who were glad to have a new team. Their game has also been improving in the last years, in 2005 Capers was fired and replaced by Gary Kubiak who led the team but did some contraversial decisions.

History of the Carolina Panthers

The Carolina Panthers have a somewhat short history as they only became a part of the National Football League in 1995. Together with the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Carolina Panthers they serve as the football representatives for Carolina (North and South). The Panthers were a part of the West division of the NFC but in 2002 were moved into the South division which was only logical considering their location. Only 8 years into the National Football League they had an appearance on the 2003 Super Bowl. The mascot of the Panthers is Sir Purr and their manager is Marty Hurney.

The history of the Carolina Panthers begins in the late 80s when it was decided that there should be a National Football League expansion team for the Carolinas. Jerry Richardson where he wanted to build a stadium that could seat over 70 000 people. With a lot of fan support all of the preseason games were sold out in 89',90' and 91'. In 92' discussions about expansion teams began but were delayed because of some disputes within the league. Finally in 93' it was announced that Carolina would get a National Football League team.

In 1995 Dom Capers became the head coach of the Carolina Panthers and they managed to win their first game against a new team, the Jaguars, another new team. Because their future home stadium was still under constructions they played all their games at Clemson University.

The 90s weren’t all great for the Panthers, one of their players Rae Carruth conspired to kill his then girlfriend and was later on convicted for it. This of course was a lot of bad press for the Panthers and to make it worse, they lost their quarterback Kerry Collins because he had alcohol and behavior issues and that's not even the worst of it. Their running back Fred Lane was killed by his wife very soon after being traded from the Indianapolis Colts. 

After that the team had a lot of trouble finding a good head coach and suffered in performance again. They regained their game again in 2003, they got into and won the Super Bowl XXXVIII.

History And Downfall Of The Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns have been in professional football since 1946. They have a long and interesting history, it all began with the All-America Football Conference, the AAFC which would later merge into the NFL.

The first coach of the Cleveland Browns was Paul Brown, but he wasn't just the coach he was also the general manager and vice president when they were part of the AAFC. Something surprising is that the team was named after him even though and maybe particularly because the name was chosen by a naming contest. As Brown was already popular in Ohio in the world of football people thought it was appropriate. Brown didn't actually want the team to be named after him, instead he wanted to call the team the Panthers but due to some trademarks he couldn't do it so he had to name the team after himself and the Cleveland Browns were born.

Because of Paul Browns connections to the football world he had all what he needed to start a good team. It worked, in 1948 his team had the season record and wasn't beaten once. The team was also very popular, even at the beginning they had some 57,000 spectators per season. This was quite the accomplishment especially if you consider that just a year before the Cleveland Rams were moved to L.A. because they were losing money and because the community didn't care for them much. After 1949 because of some problems in the AAFC the National Football League took 3 teams from the AAFC, of which the Browns were the most interesting.

Even in the NFL the Browns were a very good team, the first year in the surpasses analyst expectations. The team performed  well all throughout the 50s and 60s but problems began when Paul Brown sold the team to Art Modell and started a new team which would later become the Cincinnati Bengals which resulted in the teams becoming instant rivals. The Browns continued to perform well into the early 70s, but problems started when the NFL merged with the AFL.

A lot of changes happened from the 70s and into the 80s for the Cleveland Browns. A lot of staff was changed including players and coaches but nothing seemed to help with ending the losing streak. From then on it went hill down for the Browns, in their 50 years of existence they didn't participate in the Super Bowl once.
