History - August 2007

I've heard the Mongolians had the largest empire in history but hearing about how large Alexander's was it's hard to imagine. Also if a Mongolian other than Genghis Khan had a larger empire replace him with them. And please inform me if anyone outdid either of these two.

Does anyone know where I can freely listen to the February 15th, 1991 episode of Voice of America Radio from which this quote is from?

"There is another way for the bloodshed to stop: And that is, for the Iraqi military and the Iraqi people to take matters into their own hands and force Saddam Hussein, the dictator, to step aside and then comply with the United Nations’ resolutions and rejoin the family of peace-loving nations. "- George H. W. Bush.

May be it's very easy for you. But I really don't know. I am not a native English speaker.

Is it the same meaning with "c." or without "c."?

Thanks

I'm trying to find information a relative of my late mother. She was living in Paris or nearby when the Nazis invaded. She took a boat to Oslo but fled to England when the Germans took over that city. Later she was killed in an explosion, I'm speculating by a bomb because apparently no remains were found. Sorry to be vague and gruesome at the same time, but I'm going on third-hand information, at best.

Would she have arrived in England at the time of the Blitz or afterwards? I have read that the Germans bombed England until late in the war. What kind of bomb could practically vaporize a human?

Did many refugees travel the France > Norway > England route in the early days of the war? If anyone can suggest where I can learn information about refugee ships between these countries, I'd appreciate it.

I wasn't sure if I should post this question under Military (WWII) or History. Thanks.

I love social history and i always wonder what made that first person try drinking cow's milk (or any other animal's milk other than human milk). Along the same line - what possessed someone to eat a cow - what made people decide to cook the meat before eating it?
I think you get the gist of my question so give me some answers!
