Batı Hint Adaları

Etimoloji

Tarihsel Batı Hint Adaları tanımında yer alan Hindistan ifadesi, Kristof Kolomb'un aslında Hindistan'a (yani Doğu Asya'ya) batı deniz yolunu bulmak istemesinden ve düzenlediği dört ayrı seferde de yeni bir kıta bulduğunun farkına varmamasından kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu adlandırma yanıltıcı olabilmektedir. Batı Hindistan tabiri Hindistan'ın batısı olarak kullanılsa da bu kullanım buraya uymamaktadır. Bu isimlendirme Hindistan'ın batı deniz yolu takip edilerek bulunduğu algısıyla verilmiştir. Bu süreçte Hindistan hep doğu deniz yolu takip edilerek bulunmuş, bunun da Hindistan'a ulaşmanın yeni yolu olarak düşünülmüştü.

Batı Hint Adaları'nın Britanya tarafından sömürgeleştirilen kısmı Britanya Batı Hint Adaları olarak adlandırılmıştır.

Use of horses during World War I (1914–1918) A Canadian cavalry recruitment poster The use of horses in World War I marked a transitional period in the evolution of armed conflict. Cavalry units were initially considered essential offensive elements of a military force, but over the course of the war, the vulnerability of horses to modern machine gun, mortar, and artillery fire reduced their utility on the battlefield. This paralleled the development of tanks, which ultimately replaced cava...
