The Central Powers, also Central Empires (German: Mittelmächte; Hungarian: Központi hatalmak; Turkish: İttifak Devletleri / Bağlaşma Devletleri; Bulgarian: Централни сили, romanized: Tsentralni sili), consisting of Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria - hence also known as the Quadruple Alliance (German: Vierbund)—was one of the two main coalitions that fought World War I (1914–18).
It faced and was defeated by the Allied Powers that had formed around the Triple Entente. The Powers' origin was the alliance of Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1879. Despite having nominally joined the Triple Alliance before, Italy did not take part in World War I on the side of the Central Powers; the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria did not join until after World War I had begun, even though the Ottoman Empire had retained close relations with both Germany and Austria-Hungary since the beginning of the 20th century.

So thank you, man, I must decline
For it's on my steed I will rely
I've learned to need the open sky
Well, I'm subject to the natural forces
Home is where my horse is

The 1st Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment (French: 1er Régiment de Parachutistes d'Infanterie de Marine, 1er RPIMa) is one of three regiments (1er RPIMa, 13e Régiment de Dragons Parachutistes (13e RDP), 4e RHFS) in the French Army Special Forces Brigade (BFST).
The 1er RPIMa is one of Europe's most experienced special forces units, and has been constantly operationally deployed right from the beginning of its new role over thirty years ago.
It takes advantage of an exceptional location in Bayonne, in South Western France, which enables all sort of training (amphibious, mountain…), and the proximity of dedicated assets of the French Army's 4th Special Forces Helicopter Regiment (4e RHFS) and airborne school (ETAP), two establishments that are essential for its training and operations.
The list of its recent operational deployments indicates a worldwide commitment that ranges from Afghanistan, to Africa and the Balkans. The acknowledged expertise of the Regiment is such that in recent years, many prominent European countries[who?] have entrusted it with the evacuation of their nationals in war-torn countries. The trust these countries have has never been misplaced and the 1er RPIMa has safely whisked out of harm's way hundreds of EU and foreign nationals in recent years.
Similarly, from the beginning of its involvement in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, first in 2001 and again from 2003 onwards, the Regiment has won high praises. The commitment of its members has been rewarded several times by the American forces in the form of Bronze Stars, Army Commendations and Army Achievement Medals.[citation needed]
The high level of expertise attained by the 1er RPIMa also makes it a highly sought-after partner in the development of Special Forces units abroad and the Regiment constantly receives requests for assistance in that specific field from sister units around the world.[citation needed]
Always the first to be deployed, the 1er RPIMa is at the forefront of France's defence. It is constantly on the lookout for new solutions and opportunities and thereby remains faithful to the motto of its SAS (Special Air Service) ancestors, "Who Dares Wins".

With indictments prepared against over 1,200 people, and some 41,000 under arrest in total, the trials following the failed coup against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan are set to be the most far-reaching legal process in Turkish history.

Manifestation du 5 décembre 2019 (pour la défense des retraites). Plus d'un million de manifestants dans toute la France. A Paris une manifestation gigantesque. Coupée en deux à la hauteur de la place de la République par un barrage et l'obstruction des CRS, avant même que l'énorme manif n'ait réellement commencé... Donc il y avait deux immenses cortèges à Paris, l'un au nord de la place de la République (où se trouvaient des dizaines de milliers de manifestants derrière les banderoles syndicales et politiques, et un autre cortège au sud de la place de la République, où se trouvaient encore des dizaines de milliers de manifestants, sans sono et véhicules syndicaux, mais avec beaucoup de voix et de mots et de jambes pour la défense de nos retraites

December 5, 2019 - Mass strikes and protests in France over pension reform (a disastrous reform driven by Macron and his wealthy friends). More than a million protesters throughout France.
In Paris a gigantic demonstration, cut in two at "Place de la République" by the obstruction of the police... before the march really began ... So there were two huge demos in Paris, one at north of the Republic Square (where there were tens of thousands of protesters behind the union banners), and another part of the demo south of the Republic Square, where were still tens of thousands of protesters, without the sound and the vehicles of the trade unionists, but with a lot of voices and words and shouting in defense of our pensions
