Arts & Humanities - 25 May 2007

I'm working on a novel set in London in 1582 and want a character to refer to this particular struggle for supremacy. What would they have called it?

I've read (repeatedly) that the phrase "War of the Roses", for the conflict between the houses of Lancaster and York, was coined in the 18th century. One author claimed that it was introduced by Sir Walter Scott.

During World War II 9at least to my understanding), Switzerland was fascist but remained neutral throughout the whole world. Hitler promised not to attack every European Country from England to the U.S.S.R. So how did Switzerland remain the only country in Europe to not be attacked by Hitler even though Switzerland is right next to the heart of Germany and is a prime industrial target?! What did Switzerladn have to do to remain neutral during Hitler's wrath?

What was it that they did that means they deserve the credit for winning WW2? Was their reason for getting involved a philanthropic one or was it because of other reasons such as Pearl Harbour. What would have been the outcome without America? Would Russia and Britain have still been able to get the same result?
