Sherman's March to the Sea

Sherman's March to the Sea was a military campaign of the American Civil War conducted through Georgia by Major General William Tecumseh Sherman of the Union Army. The campaign began on November 15, 1864, with Sherman's troops leaving Atlanta, recently taken by Union forces, and ended with the capture of the port of Savannah on December 21. His forces followed a "scorched earth" policy, destroying military targets as well as industry, infrastructure, and civilian property, disrupting the Confederacy's economy and transportation networks. The operation debilitated the Confederacy and helped lead to its eventual surrender. This picture shows an engraving by Alexander Hay Ritchie depicting Sherman's March to the Sea.

Establishment of Northernm Cyprus

I propose adding the establishment of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. A new sovereign state is more important than a military operation, for example. --Seksen (talk) 13:23, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
