Indian Union (Índia)

The Hindu and Muslim religious communities in British India broke up after the independence in 1948. Two countries were created: the Indian Union and Pakistan. Captain Robert M. Grindlay (19th century) left his description of that pictorial English colony.

União Soviética na II Grande Guerra (1941) (Soviet Union in World War II 1941)

Quando os militares da Europa Ocidental invadem a Rússia diz-se que o Inverno é um dos seus melhores generais do país ocupado. Os militares de ambas as partes sofreram muito em 1941 com as baixas temperaturas, como assinalam diversos pintores da União Soviética.
