in february 1949, on 24 february THIS date during israeli war of... independence? nope, the brits left due to the time ending so not like independence from brits. it was a DEFENSIVE WAR when egypt LEFT its border and invaded young israel so israelis call it "tkuma" establishment but more accurately the RENEWAL of the jew government continuing from solomon dynasty but with elected representatives.
so... the war of renewal faced the massive tank and warplane army of egypt and other arab attackers. egyptian warplanes flew out of egyot border to bomb cities and tanks streamed up israel's west coast until after many months of battles and israel getting help from european allies and u.s. the strategy trapped an egyptian army and the worry caused the egyptian king to submit to conditions that they had previously refused but in the end submitted to terms.
the cease fire was achieved to end the battles on that border region. so a step toward peace which was significant due to the power of egypt... a major danger ended. despite the war continued against other arabs for example lebanon continued until end of march but from then the jews were able to move the soldiers from egypt border the same forces that had battled egypt army [for example golani 3] to move south and reclaim the southern part of israel including "eilat" mentioned in the hebrew bible. some accused israelis expelled arabs from their homes but the accuser must prove ant accusation not simply say slanderous accusations that generate hate and prevent the peace now due to arab hate and desire for muslim revenge for a false accusation without any evidence.
also near this date, SOON a sad loss for the allies at java sea that is the part of chang (pacific) ocean north from JAVA isle that is north from western australia. both sides had cruiser class warships [u.s. u.k. and exiled dutch against japanese] but no battleship class in this battle.
on February 27, 1942, the exiled netherland=dutch navy led the attempt to save the dutch colony. in a seven-hour battle allies lost 2 cruiser class warships and total 5 warships including two brit destroyer class. the Japanese invasion of the dutch colony continued. other allied cruisers survived for example USS Houston (CA-30 meaning standard cruiser class).
the following day, 28 [oops last day in february], in the sea west from java isle, in Sunda Strait, a night battle began. allied cruisers participated in a "fierce overnight battle" and sadly for the defenders, both allied cruisers got sunk by jap invaders. this included u.s. lost a cruiser during this battle on march, 1.
so march 1 should be a sad day with a "comfort meal of comfort food" for the significant loss of a large cruiser and its crew taken prisoner. with songs in the topic.
the survivors were taken as prisoners of war. ENDNOTE: until liberated at the end of the war when japanese emperor surrendered in 1945 due only to the soviet land assault that threatened the military industry south from amur river... the first atomic bomb did not cause a surrender... does that mean need a second? dnc president thought so but an atom bomb is WORSE than chemical weapons and far from accurate bombing of factories so dnc is guilty for ordering that wide weapon. once they saw it did not budge EMPEROR dumb dnc should understand that it would not "end the war" as dumb dnc claimed and the second was known to be "unjustifiable". instead of "one is not enough need a second" learn that even an a bomb and knowing the danger and threat of more, did not budge the emperor. the japs did not surrender the day after the atomic bomb in august nor the day after the second so the atom bomb did not "end the war" and was known to be unjustifiable and must not be used the second time even if the first one hoped "to end the war" but the second was wrong and knowingly unjustifiable.
only the treachery of the soviet seditious violation of their treaty ignoring it caused the ending of the war later in august and was justifiable to end the war and stop the killing on both sides and save the lives on both sides for a quick end. still the soviet claim to korea peninsula was dumb dnc submission when should have said "can't grab land" as soviets had done to poland in 1939. even the division was by the line that gave soviets more than half but dumb dnc c-in-c did not care about koreans and caused the following war in korea during 1950's which cost u.s. lives when coulda stood firm against soviets saying only take the japanese industry not more.
in fact considering soviet bad guy to poland, the decision to help soviets by dumb dnc was not only unjustifiable after they pushed nazis back from moscow but worse the dumb dnc was helping the bad guy who had divided poland. respect for human life would be not scattering u.s. soldiers all around sprinkled in algeria and italy and france but focused on the one who attacked u.s. that is japan instead of sending u.s. lives into danger... after all he had been "reelected" due to preserving neutrality until then but acted treacherously to his voters misused the declaration of war on japan to send americans into danger against germany.
