<span>Halloween is an annual holiday, celebrated each year on October 31, that has roots in age-old European traditions. It originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints; soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activities like trick-or-treating and carving jack-o-lanterns. Around the world, as days grow shorter and nights get colder, people continue to usher in the season with gatherings, costumes and sweet treats.</span>

What is the best definition of a “blitzkrieg”?
Monica [59]

The German military tactic called blitzkrieg is one of the most, if not the most famous one from the World War II. This tactic was basically consisted of a quick, surprise attack by using the locally concentrated firepower and the mobile forces in combination. The purpose of this tactic was to cause panic and disorganize the army of the opponent, and in most cases it did its job properly, with the majority of this type of attacks being successful, resulting in German occupation of numerous territories across Europe.
