"Çanakkale Harbi'ne kadar böyle bir terim yoktu kızım. Anzac yani okunuşu Anzak, Avusturalyalı ve Yeni Zelandalı askerlerden oluşan birliğin, Australian and New Zealand.
Army Corps'un başharfleriyle kısaltılmasıdır. Düşünebiliyor musun, gençlerin çoğu gerçeği Kahire'ye yakın Zeytun Kampı'nda talim alırken öğreniyor. Zaten yıllarca barbar
Türkler olarak akıllara sokulmuşuz. Hakkımızda çıkarılan haberler, iftiralar yüzünden Batı ülkeleri bizi yanlış tanıyor. Hatta durum o hale varıyor ki, Anzakların aileleri, 'Çocuklarımızın
cesedini barbarların elinde bırakmak istemiyoruz,' diyecek kadar bizden nefret ediyor.
By the end of the nineteenth century, almost every Christian body in almost every country, from the Orthodox Church of Russia to the Salvation Army, from the Lutheran Church of Finland and the Waldensian Church of Italy to the newest denomination in the United States, had its share in the missionary enterprise overseas.
Imperial control of the southern shores of the Baltic and deep religious convictions compelled the able Lutheran warrior King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden to enter Germany as the new leader of the Protestant cause. A series of smashing victories carried him south as far as Munich. The Lion of the North, Protestants called him, but even regal courage meets its end. At the Battle of Lutzen (1632), southwest of Leipzig, the Swedish army was again victorious, but Adolphus was cut down in combat. Without Adolphus the war wore on, but the outcome was already clear. The Catholic forces could not subdue the Protestants in northern Germany and the Protestants could not defeat the Catholics in the south.
After abolishing the House of Lords, the House of Commons proclaimed England a republic—the Commonwealth. But in 1653 the army, still distrusting Parliament, overthrew the Commonwealth and set up a form of government called a protectorate. Cromwell held the Office of Lord Protector, virtually a military dictator of England.
The Lord Protector tried to achieve a religious settlement for the nation by granting liberty to a wide variety of Christian groups growing on the religious landscape: Presbyterians, Independents, Baptists, Quakers, Levelers, and others. Unfortunately, he found the task impossible, and the last three years of his life were filled with disappointment and trouble. When he died in 1658, the “rule of the saints” in old England died with him. Within two years the country welcomed the return of the monarchy and, with the king, the office of bishop.
By the end of 1646 Cromwell’s army had forced Charles to surrender. For the next two years, the king tried to play his enemies against each other: the Scots, the Presbyterians (who controlled Parliament), and the Independents (who dominated the army). He succeeded in splitting Parliament and making a secret alliance with the Scots. But fierce resentment against Charles broke out in the army, and in 1648 war erupted anew.
