World War 2-Part 1
The starting to WWII is quite controversial.You could make the argument that it actually started in 1931,when the Japanese invaded Manchuria,a province in China,OR that it started when Hitler and the Nazi party came to power.I am going to be using 1939 as my kick-off point.It started with the German invasion of Poland.The countries of Great Britain and France had been following "appeasement", which was a strategy aimed at letting the Nazi party doing whatever they liked as they wanted to avert another great worldwide conflagaration.The Nazi's annexed Poland and that resulted in Britain and France declaring war on Germany.The Germans had a new strategy called blitzkreig or "lightning war" in German.This involves extreme speed and quickly overwhelming the opponent's forces is the key strategy in this kind of war.The reason why Germany wanted Poland is because of its vast natural resources,particularly nickel.Also under the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact the Soviets gave Germans unlimited access to their vast oil reserves in Siberia.The Germans also annexed France and due to German paranoia of Soviet refusal for access to oilfields.

My Experiments with truth
I really like this book and it truly does provide a huge insight
in what went on in Gandhi's life.Instead of saying about his
triumphs against the British he says about the times that the Almighty
saved him from the threshold of sin and from influence from bad friends.
It also talks about the injustices faced by Indians both
at home and abroad.
I really like this book.

My thoughts about Harry Potter:The Cursed Child
Summary
The plot is that of Albus Severus Potter. He fails to meet expectations set by
his peers, such as going to Slytherin instead of Gryffindor as all Potters have.
Albus is resentful about his father, Harry, as people compare him with his famous father
This make him insecure and socially awkward. He don't have any friends. He resorts to
befriending Scorpius Malfoy, who is the son of Draco, who is Harry Potter's arch enemy
during school days.
Albus steals an illegal time turner and attempts to save Cedric Diggory, Harry's friend who
died in book 4 of the Harry Potter series. This results in many new catastrophic timelines.
This leads to the rise of Voldemort, the main villain in Harry Potter series.
Albus manages to save the world through an alternate timeline accidently
created in an attempt to save Cedric Diggory. Albus eventually reforms and finally becomes a hero.
This forms the whole book.
Although a fine literary work in and of itself , it fails to meet the expectations set by
the masterpieces that were the previous 7 books of the Harry Potter franchise as it is not J.K.Rowling's original style of writing and it is not the masterpiece I was expecting.
In short this is a good book but not as good as the Harry Potter novels.

History:Byzantine Empire
In the Byzantine Empire there were several great rulers but the one we are focusing on today is Justinian the First.
Our story starts with a man named Justin. He spoke Latin in a world of Greek
and joined the Imperial army. He rose up the ranks and became captain of the palace guards and adopted a nephew who named himself Justinianus or Justinian in honor of his uncle and benefactor.
Justin was illiterate and gave a quality education to Justinian. Their lives changed forever when the present ruler Anastasius died. Although he had many relative who were ready to take the throne they all tried to bribe Justin because he was the only one to have troops in the capital, Constantinople, to support their candidate for king.
