The Italian War of 1535 between Charles V and Francis I of France began with the death of Francesco Maria Sforza, the duke of Milan. When Charles' son Phillip inherited the duchy, Francis invaded Italy, capturing Turin, but failed to take Milan. In response, Charles invaded Provence, advancing to Aix-en-Provence, but withdrew to Spain rather than attacking the heavily fortified Avignon. There is also a story that French troops deliberately left over-ripe fruit on the trees in an attempt to give Charles's troops dysentery. France had secured an alliance with the Ottoman Empire in 1536 through the diplomatic efforts of Jean de La Forêt. A Franco-Turkish fleet was stationned in Marseilles by the end of 1536, threatening Genoa. In 1537 Barbarossa raided the Italian coast and laid a siege at Corfu, although this provided only limited assistance to the French. With Charles V unsuccessful in battle and squeezed between the French invasion and the Ottomans, kings Francis I and Charles V ultimately made peace with the Truce of Nice on 18 June 1538. The Truce of Nice ended the war, leaving Turin in French hands but effecting no significant change in the map of Italy. The Truce of Nice was notable because Charles and Francis refused to sit in the same room together, such was their hatred. The negotiations were carried out by Pope Paul III going from room to room, trying to reach an agreement. Charles V would turn his efforts against the Ottomans, only to lose the Battle of Preveza on 28 September 1538. From Wikipedia under the

Q. Al Qaeda says would use Pakistani nuclear weapons on US By Inal Ersan DUBAI (Reuters) - If it were in a position to do so, Al Qaeda would use Pakistan's nuclear weapons in its fight against the United States, a top leader of the group said in remarks aired on Sunday. Pakistan has been battling al Qaeda's Taliban allies in the Swat Valley since April after their thrust into a district 100 km (60 miles) northwest of the capital raised fears the nuclear-armed country could slowly slip into militant hands. "God willing, the nuclear weapons will not fall into the hands of the Americans and the mujahideen would take them and use them against the Americans," Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, the leader of al Qaeda's in Afghanistan, said in an interview… [cont.] Asked by Amy - Mon Jun 22 08:14:09 2009 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. Well, if Obama thinks his magic voice and his unending speeches will fix this mess and the mess with N.

Answered by Debra H - Mon Jun 22 09:38:24 2009 You know why we Christians can have so many different beliefs and not road side bombs? Q. Because some of us realize we don't care what the rest of them think. If they want to believe in not being married. OK If they want to worship mary. OK We have learned to chill out. How do we get the muslims to just chill out and not be such control freaks and think everyone has to believe like they do? I can guarantee you this, you will not go to hell for what some other muslim does? OK So why do you care so much that if he doesn't believe the way you do he has to die. Isn't it better to chill out and no one has to die? I mean if you blow up his church he is going to blow up yours. So call a truce and try to be nice. Anyone with any suggestions to help them do that? Asked by emily - Sat Aug 11 20:04:47 2007 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. You are fundamentally rational. Most religious people aren't what I would consider truly religious; they are basically rational secular humanists, meaning they want to live well and not inflict harm on themselves and others. Most people who consider themselves religious pick and choose the parts of their holy book which accord with a life of decency, sanity, etc. There's a difference between that kind of religious and the kind which reads scripture and decides that adulterous women have be stoned to death because that's what it says.

Q. We used to be friends, but it was kind of a one-sided friendship where she benefits and I lose. She is extremelly immature and throughout the friendship I actually hated her. I just felt that I had to be nice to her because no one else is and she cuts herself so I was afraid she'd do something really bad if I, her only friend, abandoned her. Like I said, she's super immature, which is the reason no one likes her. She acts like a 5 year old, and when everyone tells her to quit, she refuses to believe anything is her fault. More to the point, that among other reasons finally made me decide to stop being her friend. For a while it worked out, but then a whole bunch of drama started up so I agreed to talk to her in the counsilors office and… [cont.] Asked by Squire Kimara - Tue May 26 10:32:26 2009 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments From Yahoo Answer Search: "Truce of Nice" |
