3- American Samoa
4- A few weeks later, Lieutenant General Sir George Prevost, Britain’s North American commander-in-chief, expressed his regrets for the burning of Buffalo—regrets that “the miseries inflicted upon the inhabitants of Newark” had made the action necessary. “This departure from the established usages of war has originated with America herself,” Prevost wrote in a proclamation, “and that to her alone are justly chargeable all the awful and unhappy consequences.”
5- The Kokoda Track campaign or Kokoda Trail campaign was part of the Pacific War of World War II. The campaign consisted of a series of battles fought between July and November 1942 between Japanese and Allied—primarily Australian—forces in what was then the Australian territory of Papua.
6- It was Peter I's policy to hunt down and arrest absconders and return them to their lords where they could be counted for taxes, a policy which, by this time, had no statute of limitations. In accordance with this policy, Peter deployed a group of bounty hunters under Yuri Dolgoruki to scout the Cossack regions for fugitive peasants.
