The Unification Of Europe Under The Maastricht Treaty

... will have to slow down to accommodate country's with poorer economic systems. Nations like England will have to merge their high currency rate with country's such as Italy, whom are infamous for their treasured currency the Lira. No one likes to get the short end of a stick - Why should these countries give up some of their prosperity to help others?

Battle Of Gettysburg

... be called great battlefield victories. While the AOP can only notch one momentous battlefield win onto their belt, they were, of course, on the winning side in lesser battles that did not significantly impact either the tactical or strategic situations. Malvern Hill, the last major action of the Seven Days campaign where Confederate forces were severely and boldly repulsed, is one such example.
