The two agreed ... was an activist, indeed a hyper-activist, and it was this which made him such a violent figure." This is also what made Stalin so horrible. In the way Lenin acted on behalf of the revolution, Stalin acted on behalf of himself. Although their personalities were similar, it can be argued that they had different ideals. Lenin lived for the revolution and had a long-term goal of worldwide revolution. Stalin, on the other hand, was more interested in seeing revolution on the home front. Another difference between the two was that Stalin would kill ...

On 22-23 June, Germany launched its last major attack on Verdun. German artillery fired over 110,000 chemical shells filled with phosgene.

The incorporation of 'links' to several different events would further increase the obscurity of a quatrain. Other reasons for the obscurity include: the use of language that was, even when written, archaic, use of anagrams and unknown names, use of astrological or mythological references, inconsistent spelling, and nonstandard word order. Nostradamus wrote primarily in "early Modern French," with an admixture of archaic words mostly derived from Latin and Greek. Early Modern French is approximately analogous with Shakespearean English. He also incorporates words from the "Languedoc" or Provincial dialect of southern France. Readers who are familiar with Latin and modern French can often understand the original language, ...
