The Irish Republican Army (1919-1922), known as the “Old IRA”, in later years, was recognized by the First Dáil as the legitimate army of the Irish Republic in April 1921 due to the fact that it had fought in the Irish War of Independence. After the death of Gómez and the instability that followed, the army took sides in the politics of the time, with a dominance of militaristic sectors in the country’s politics in the period 1940-1958, with the army carrying out three coups d’état in 1945, 1948 and in 1958 ending the dictatorship of General Marcos Pérez Jiménez, within the framework of the Cold War. Albert Lebrun gained the French presidency by holding a central position within French politics. He gave up that power to the new French State as Germany advanced upon France in 1940, though Lebrun would later claim that he didn’t formally give up his power. After WWII, Mao Zedong became the first leader of a single-party state established under the Communist Party of China. Are you familiar with this political figure who was put in charge of the French State after the fall of France to Axis forces?

In the 2006 film “The Last King of Scotland,” Scottish doctor Nicholas Garrigan barely escapes the regime of Uganda’s Idi Amin by hiding himself among a group of hostages from a hijacked Air France airliner. Philippe Petain’s decision to surrender France to Nazi Germany lost him favor both in his country and among Allied forces. Joseph Goebbels played an instrumental role in the growth of the Nazi Party by suppressing opposing voices throughout Germany when the Nazi’s seized power in 1933. He accomplished this by taking control of all media outlets across the country, using them to spread Nazi propaganda. As the Soviet Union advanced across Romania, destroying the Nazi front stationed there, King Michael I brought an end to the fighting in his country by ordering a ceasefire. Faisal II was in power in Iraq when the 14 July Revolution took place in the country that ended with his death and the fall of the Hashemite monarchy. Does your knowledge of WWII political history extend far enough to identify the last King of Iraq? It was used to decontaminate Senate office buildings during last year’s anthrax scare.

John Curtin took office as the 14th prime minister of Australia in 1941, serving until his death in 1945. As prime minister, Curtin helped organize the Australian military, which he left under the leadership of U.S. Fumimaro Konoe served as the prime minister of Japan when the Second Sino-Japanese War broke out in 1937 after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident. After the First World War, Ion Antonescu worked his way through the ranks of the Romanian government, eventually becoming the defense minister in 1937 and the prime minister in 1940. As prime minister, he was able to replace King Carol II with his son, who served more of a puppet role in Romania. Australia looked to the United States for military aid under which Prime Minister shown here? Few members of the British Royal Family were as active during WWII as which princess shown here? Some don’t tax military pensions at all, while some exempt the first few thousand dollars from taxation. A few years into WWII, Emmanuel turned on Mussolini, leading to his removal from power. Following WWII, he was tried and convicted for treason, though he was allowed to live his life out in prison rather than being executed.

When the war concluded, Hideki Tojo received much of the blame for Japan’s role in WWII, particularly for the bombing of Pearl Harbor and for crimes against prisoners of war. The decision allowed the Allies to advance towards Germany at a much quicker pace. The U.S. Department of Justice has a manual titled “Searching and Seizing Computers and Obtaining Electronic Evidence in Criminal Investigations.” The document explains when investigators are allowed to include computers in a search, what kind of information is admissible, how the rules of hearsay apply to computer information and guidelines for conducting a search. How familiar are you with this Canadian prime minister? A member of the Liberal Party, William Lyon Mackenzie King served over 21 years as the prime minister of Canada, though not as a single tenure. The problem is that every implementation is liberal in a different way. Boston Dynamics sells it as a way to “simulate how a soldier stresses protective clothing under realistic conditions,” including wearing heavy chemical weapons gear. And in many different spots across New York and New Jersey, including as a cook in a hotel, a Broadway restaurant, a spa, and a boarding house, again threatening public health.
