2) Event Name: Up the Euphrates Without a Paddle! WWI Middle East
24th July 1915 – the 30th Brigade and combined Anglo-Indian unit is tasked with taking the defenses at Nasiriya. Their goal is to capture the supply base and push thru to Baghdad. The Ottomans however are really determined on making sure that doesn't happen with their defenses brimming with artillery and machine guns. Adding to all this is the searing 115° heat, mosquitoes and marshlands that obscure the approach. Oh and let's not forget the Budhoos tribes that skirt the plains that hate British and Turk alike.

4) Event Name: The Battle of Hanghai, China 1932
Description: In order to justify military action in China, the Japanese military instigated seemingly anti-Japanese incidents. Five Japanese Buddhist monks were beaten. Over the next few hours, a group burnt down a factory (sources argue this was orchestrated by Japanese agents, though it might have been carried out by Chinese in response to the Hanghai Municipal Police's aggressive anti-riot tactics in the aftermath of the beating of the monks. The Japanese military had already concentrated some troops around the shoreline of Hanghai to put down any resistance in the event that violence broke out. The military's justification was that it had to defend its concession and citizens. Throughout this period, the Chinese 19th Route Army had been massing outside the city, causing consternation to the civil Chinese administration of Hanghai and the foreign-run Concessions. The 19th Route Army was generally viewed as little more than a warlord force, posing as great a danger to Hanghai as the Japanese military.
However, at midnight Japanese troops attacked targets around the city and began an invasion. In what was a surprising about-face for many, the 19th Route Army, which many had expected to leave after having been paid, stayed to put up a fierce resistance. The conflict soon spread outwards to much of Chinese-controlled Hanghai. Because Hanghai was a metropolitan city with many foreign interests invested in it, other countries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom and France attempted to negotiate a ceasefire between Japan and China. However, Japan refused. Will the foreign powers intervene? Signup and find out.
