<span>claiming sovereignty and dominance in this sea-path, to the rich East,</span><br />
<span> [a path that was the target of all powerful states then, a greatly desired seaway.</span><br />
<span><br /></span>
<span>In May 1560 near the island of Djerba, Tunisia,</span><br />
<span> [the Ottomans under Piyale Pasha's command gained the sea-path, i.e. a major key,</span><br />
<span>by defeating a Christian fleet composed of Spanish, Papal, Genoese and Maltese forces.</span><br />
<span> [and this victory marked the high point of Ottoman power in the Mediterranean Sea.</span><br />
<span><br /></span>
<span>Ten years later the rematch took place to the same area as a fleet of the Holy League,</span><br />
<span> [a coalition of European Catholic states, arranged by Pope Pius the Fifth,</span><br />
<span>in Nafpactos Greece they inflicted a major defeat on the fleet of the Ottoman Empire, </span><br />
<span> [an unexpected victory that many thought was a silly rumor or a myth.</span><br />
<span><br /></span>
<span>But despite that victory, for almost three more centuries,</span><br />
<span> [the Ottoman Empire remained the strongest power in the Mediterranean sea,</span><br />
<span>until October1827 during the Greek war of independence, when the Ottoman armada</span><br />
<span> [was destroyed by British, French and Russian warships and turned into debris.</span><br />
<br />
<span>As the guns fell silent at dusk in Navarino Bay, news of the outcome raced everywhere,</span></div>
<div>
<span> [from London, Paris and Moscow, to Constantinople, Athens and Crete.</span></div>
<div>
<span>It was October 20,1827 and church bells rang a continuous peal throughout the night,</span></div>
<div>
<span> [the Ottoman Sultan no longer possessed a Mediterranean fleet.</span><br />
<br />
<div>
<span>Since then, the British fleet has dominated the area for centuries</span></div>
<div>
<span> [and the vestiges of the imperial presence are to be found across Mediterranean sea,</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span>from Algeria and Tunisia, Israel and the Gaza strip to the Lebanon, Syria, Turkey,</span></div>
<div>
<span> [and of course Greece, which the British fleet helped by a small margin, to be free.</span><br />
<br />
<span>World War II, the battles of Calabria, of Taranto, of Cape Matapan, of Crete,</span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span> [naval battles very different from those of the past,</span><br />
<span>now the most dangerous enemy for warships comes from the sky,</span><br />
<span> [the British won the war but lost the Mediterranean Sea, what a contrast.</span><b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b><span>At 9:08 a.m., U.S., Douglas MacArthur, the Commander in the Southwest Pacific</span><br />
<span> [accepted the surrender of the Empire of Japan, marking the end of World War II. </span><br />
<span>The signing took place on the deck of USS Missouri in Tokyo on September 2, 1945,</span><br />
<span> [sometime later the ship of the victors sailed the Mediterranean and it is true</span><br />
<span>that every country in the region, silently or loudly bowed to the nuclear power,</span></div>
<div>
<span> [it was obvious that Mediterranean sovereignty by Britain had ended,</span><br />
<span> [was finished,</span><br />
<span> [and it was through.</span><br />
<div>
<span><br /></span></div>
<span>The war-torn old Albion was unable to respond militarily and politically to the number</span><br />
<span> [of possessions of the former empire, ie full control of every corner of the globe,</span><br />
<span>so de facto pressed by history itself, they handed over the baton of Mediterranean domination</span><br />
<span> [to the US...... Britain had no other choice to seek, to probe.</span><br />
<span> <br /></span><span>
During the early 21st century, allegations were heard from the Turkish side, the Blue Homeland,</span><br />
<span> [the sea areas of the Ottoman Empire, and if we go back in history we will see,</span><br />
<span>in other words, we the Turks are descendants and heirs of Admirals Barbarossa and Piri Reis</span><br />
<span> [who dominated for centuries throughout the Mediterranean sea.</span><br />
<br />
EPILOG</div>
<div>
<br />
Those ignoring the history of the Mediterranean sea should learn<br /> [that when they were still living in Mongolia and in Siberia region,<br />
that Blue Homeland they are dreaming and talking about, belonged to the Athenian Empire<br /> [and there is still on the alert one of their descendants legion.<br />

There are three sorts of people, those who are alive,<br />
[those who are dead, and those who are at sea,<br />
this saying from the 6th century BC, was heard by my 12 year old nephew,<br />
[and he asked me if it's true, last night while I was drinking my tea,<br />
and he continued without interruption with a second question,<br />
[also uncle, I heard that over the centuries, a large number of ships and boats<br />
have been reported to have mysteriously disappeared in haunted locations,<br />
[and in cursed seas have seen ghost ships, ghost sailboats and ghost steamboats.<br />
<br />
My answer was that many sailors claim to have seen in such places ships<br />
[that seemed to be sailing without sailors, possibly a mystery needing to be untangled.<br />
<br />
The facts are quite far from what has been generally perpetuated by the books<br />
[for example, scientists have debunked any mystery behind the Bermuda Triangle.<br />
<br />
In my sea career lasting 30 years, I heard many stories that scared me,<br />
[but I personally did not notice anything tangible that was scary,<br />
I never saw ships with crews of haunted sailors as on TV series<br />
[and also never saw a vampire, a zombie, and in ports, a dragon, not even a fairy.<br />
<br />
Modern ship crews, like older sailing crews, could call a scary area<br />
[the Gulf of Mexico due to incidents in the past and the present.<br />
<br />
For example, on September 19, 1559, just weeks after arrival at Pensacola, <br />
[the Spanish missionary colony was decimated by a hurricane, a dramatic event.<br />
<br />
We, the crews of the hazardous tanker ships, after the largest oil spill in history,<br />
[consider the Gulf of Mexico as an area of terror,<br />
and the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig,<br />
[is a traumatic memory to every sailor who goes to the Gulf, to every seafarer..<br />

<i><span style="font-size: x-large;">W</span></i>ith a series of abdications Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor,<br />
[divided his hereditary and imperial domains in 1556,<br />
after thirty-five years of incessant warfare and facing the prospect<br />
[of an alliance between all, he was sincerely too old and tired for tricks.<br />
<br />
Charles V was the Holy Roman Emperor, Archduke of Austria, Lord of the Netherlands<br />
[as titular Duke of Burgundy from 1506, King of Spain from 1516,<br />
he dominated the Holy Roman Empire, Austrian lands Burgundian Low Countries,<br />
[so much power concentrated in one man, humanity had never seen.<br />
<br />
Beyond these regions and territories, he exercised power in unified Spain<br />
[with its southern Italian kingdoms of Naples, Sicily, Sardinia, and furthermore, <br />
both the long-lasting Spanish and short-lived German colonization of the Americas,<br />
[an empire on which the sun never sets, the earth resembles an emperor's toy store.<br />
<br />
It sounds unbelievable but it is true, this supposed more powerful empire<br />
[had to pay tribute to Turks 30.000 gold florins* per year,<br />
appearances are deceptive, except that was in no way holy, nor Roman, nor an empire,<br />
<div>
[the Holy Roman Empire, most of all was not a superpower.</div>

Joanna had an arranged marriage to Philip the Handsome, <br />

Following the death of her brother John and her sister Isabella she became<br />

<br />
This same year Archduke Philip became King of Castile jure uxoris,<br />

<br />
They said that Joanna went mad because of the great love she had for her died husband,<br />

because others believe that she was the victim of intrigues<br />
[and conspiracies which results in her being held in prison until her death.<br />

<i><span style="font-size: x-large;">F</span></i>rancisco Vázquez de Coronado (Anglicized as "Vasquez de Coronado) was a conquistador <br />
[whose expedition marked the first European sightings of the Gr. Canyon and the Colorado River,<br />
a guy who hoped to reach the Cities of Cíbola, the mythical Seven Cities of Gold,<br />
[cities with endless riches which he wanted to present to the King and deliver.<br />
<br />
Coronado explored, researched, and expedited the future southern and midwestern United States<br />
[ie. the modern states of Arizona, Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico,<br />
and later became Governor of the Kingdom of Nueva Galicia (New Galicia),<br />
[a province of New Spain located northwest of Mexico.<br />
<br />
In 1952, the United States established Coronado National Memorial <br />
[near Sierra Vista, Arizona to commemorate his expeditions. <br />
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade references the "Cross of Coronado" <br />
[and in Phoenix, Arizona the Coronado Road reminds us of his risky missions.<br />

<br />
On December 25, 1553, Araucanian rebels in Chile, defeat the Spanish conquistadors, <br />
[and execute Pedro de Valdivia, the first Royal Governor, one of the known ruthless subjugators<br />
This battle happened in the context of the first stage of the Arauco War, named the offensive war, <br />
[within the uprising by Araucanians against the Spaniards, the genocides of indigenous creators.<br />
<br />
If someone would ask how Araucanians with only spears fought against the fully armed invaders,<br />
[the answer is that they are descendants of the Spartans, the legendary warriors of antiquity.<br />
Araucanian professor César Navarrete, published the book The Greek origin of the Araucanians, [quoting a lot of commonality with the Spartans, especially as to their fixity.<br />
<br />
Let's fly for a while with the wings of the araucania Myth of Creation,<br />
[Zen- Zen (greek Zeus) created Uentru, (greek Man)<br />
However, because he was feeling alone, the Goddess Gaia (greek Earth) influenced Zeus,<br />
[and then Zen-Zen created Kourre (greek daughter) so Araucanians' society began !<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-large;">I'</span></i>m a Michigan Yankee and my heritage is the combination of Italian, Irish<br />
[and Indian (from an Indian princely family), but despite all this there is a correlation<br />
between me and the Spartans which I finally realized when I found out that my grandmother<br />
[was born in Taranto, Italy, an ancient colony at the time of Spartan colonization.<br />

<i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">*Taranto is a coastal city in Apulia, Southern Italy. It is the capital of the Province of Taranto and is an important commercial port as well as the main Italian naval base. It is considered one of the oldest cities in Italy. Taranto was founded by the Spartans in the 8th century BC and it is the only colony ever founded by Sparta. During the period of Greek colonization on the coasts of Southern Italy, the city was among the most important in Magna Graecia and it became a cultural, economic and military power, which gave birth to philosophers, strategists, writers and athletes, such as Archytas, Aristoxenus, Livius Andronicus, Heracleides, Iccus, Cleinias, Leonidas, Lysis, and Sosibius. The seven-year rule of Archytas marked the apex of Taranto's development and the recognition of its hegemony over the other Greek colonies of southern Italy. </span></i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>A </i></span>debate over the treatment and status of Indians in the New World<br />
[is held this year 1551 in Valladolid, Spain,<br />
with views like "the American Indians were natural slaves"<br />
[views which into our soul, bring grief and pain.<br />
<br />
Of course there were a lot opposing views, such as that of the Bishop of Chiapas<br />
[who stated that the American Indian was a free man deserving equal treatment.<br />
<br />
I am an illiterate stranger and do not know what happened after that debate,<br />
[but phrases on the air like "the way we treated the native Americans was horrible" are frequent.<br />

<i><span style="font-size: x-large;">A</span></i>lthough cocoa originated in the Americas and introduced to Europe the year 1550<br />
[Africa is the leading producer, accounting for some 60% of the world cocoa supply.<br />

Our chocolate, our favorite delicacy of young and old,<br />
[from Tokyo to Buenos Aires and from Los Angeles to Shanghai.<br />
<br />
Chocolate is one of the most popular food types and flavors in the world,<br />
[and many foodstuffs involving chocolate exist,<br />

[from the Mayans and the Aztecs, information covered among others, by historical mist.<br />

Apart from the flavors, history, cakes, pudding, mousse, chocolate brownies<br />
[there is a very sad and cruel side of our short story,<br />
some two million children are involved in the farming of cocoa (child slavery and trafficking), <br />

<br />
The city of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil's first capital was founded by Tome de Sousa<br />
<div>
[on March twenty nine, one thousand five hundred and forty-nine.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
He made the colony a strong military base to protect the Portuguese settlers<br />
[from Indian or other outside forces, and since then everything went fine.<br />
<br />
From the moment you arrive in the city of Salvador, within the state of Bahia, <br />
<div>
[you’ll see strong African influences clearly visible. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
As you leave the airport, you’ll ride through a beautiful bamboo canopy naturally formed<br />
[that rendering a peaceful welcome to the state, a place for holidays fantastic, irresistible.<br />
<br />
Brazil has the second largest black population outside of the United States and a large portion<br />
[of those Afro-Brazilians live in Salvador da Bahia, better known as the Land of Alegria (Joy).<br />
<br />
As you approach the beach area, you’ll come upon miles and miles of sandy beaches,<br />
[and people picnicking and partying to sounds of Brazilian music, easy for tourists to enjoy. <br />

[was discontinued and it has not yet resumed,<br />
this highly important Council for the whole of Christianity, <br />
[which indicated that success was doomed.....<br />
<br />
Finally this 19th ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic Church<br />
[after two long interruptions that began in 1545 and ended in the year 1563,<br />
and it's decision was the formal Roman Catholic reply to the doctrinal challenges<br />
[of the Protestant Reformation; they divided the Christians into three,<br />
to Orthodox Christians, Catholic Christians, and recently Protestant Christians,<br />
[a division of the children of God that should not be, in my humble opinion,<br />
but surely the Christians should not be divided, undoubtedly, correct me if I'm wrong, <br />

On December 2, 1547 Ernant Cortes of Castilleja De la Cuesta died, <br />
[he was one of the most controversial personalities of the time<br />
and I dedicate this poem to him, because he revealed the truth about the atrocities</div>
<div>
of the Spanish against indigenous peoples, an unforgivable crime.<br />
<br />
Spain set about the conquest of the New World, arrogantly confident<br />
[in its military superiority held by experienced army invaders<br />
where they suppressed the civilizations of the Aztecs and Incas, <br />
[and bringing them under and brought them under the iron role of rapacious conquistadors. <br />
<br />
"The cruelty of the Spaniards "was incontrovertible; it was pitiless,<br />
[barbaric and never brought under control by the colonial regime.<br />
But imperial hubris brought a punishing nemesis as the riches of the Americas,<br />
[produced decadence and decline, so soon lowered empire's light, shine and gleam.<br />

<i><span style="font-size: x-large;">I</span></i>n the year 1546, Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, <br />
[was appointed architect to St. Peter's Basilica, Rome.<br />
<br />
To replace the Constantinian basilica, of the 4th century, successive architects had worked,<br />
[but little progress had been made, so Michelangelo made his workplace really a second home.<br />
<br />
<br />
He developed his ideas for a centrally planned church, strengthening the structure<br />
[physically and visually, made a wonderful work but sadly died before finishing the dome.<br />
<br />
His admirable work has been called by Banister Fletcher (History of Architecture)<br />
["the greatest creation of the Renaissance", and by others a sky of heaven, a divine astrodome.<br />
<br />
<div>
By common confession he was a unique artist who created works</div>
<div>
[of such sublime beauty his reputation will always be treasured.</div>
<div>
<br />
Many art critics have held that one can not assess Michelangelo , </div>
<div>
[because it's value cannot be measured. <br />

<i><span style="font-size: x-large;">I</span></i>talian War of 1542–46, Francis I of France and Suleiman I<br />
[of the Ottoman Empire unite their forces<br />
against the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and Henry VIII of England, <br />
[a war disastrously costly according to all historical sources.<br />
<br />
The war arose from the failure of the Truce of Nice,<br />
[which ended the Italian War of 1536–38,<br />
to resolve the long-standing conflict between Charles and Francis,<br />
[but was repeated fiercely with features, revenge and hate.<br />
<br />
During this war the Mary Rose, a carrack-type warship of the English Tudor navy,<br />
[after serving for 33 years in several wars,<br />
and while leading the attack on a French invasion fleet, she sank near the Isle of Wight,<br />
[a historic ship, whose model continues to be sold as a replica in stores.<br />
<br />
The wreck of the Mary Rose was rediscovered in 1971 and it was raised on October 1982<br />
[in one of the most expensive projects in the history of maritime archaeology.<br />
<br />
A lifting from the seabed like a fairy tale, or a novel by Victor Hugo,<br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>* Mary Rose</b><i> was a warship of the English Tudor navy of King Henry VIII saw her last action on 19 July 1545 while leading the attack on the galleys of a French invasion fleet, she sank in the Solent, the straits north of the Isle of Wight. <br />The wreck of the Mary Rose was rediscovered in 1971. It was raised on 11 October 1982 by the Mary Rose Trust, in one of the most complex and expensive projects in the history of maritime archaeology. The surviving section of the ship and thousands of recovered artefacts are of immeasurable value as a Tudor-era time capsule. The excavation and raising of the Mary Rose was a milestone in the field of maritime archaeology, comparable in complexity and cost only to the raising of the Swedish 17th-century warship Vasa in 1961. <br />The finds include weapons, sailing equipment, naval supplies and a wide array of objects used by the crew. Many of the artefacts are unique to the Mary Rose and have provided insights into topics ranging from naval warfare to the history of musical instruments. Since the mid-1980s, while undergoing conservation, the remains of the hull have been on display at the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. An extensive collection of well-preserved artefacts is on display at the Mary Rose Museum, built to display the remains of the ship and its artefacts alongside each other. <br />The Mary Rose was one of the largest ships in the English navy through more than three decades of intermittent war and was one of the earliest examples of a purpose-built sailing warship. She was armed with new types of heavy guns that could fire through the recently invented gun-ports. After being substantially rebuilt in 1536, she was also one of the earliest ships that could fire a broadside, although the line of battle tactics that employed it had not yet been developed. Several theories have sought to explain the demise of the Mary Rose, based on historical records, knowledge of 16th-century shipbuilding, and modern experiments. The precise cause of her sinking is still unclear, because of conflicting testimonies and a lack of conclusive physical evidence. </i></span></div>

<i><span style="font-size: x-large;">O</span></i>n May 24th Copernicus died, the mathematician and astronomer who formulated a model <br />
[where the sun is the center of the universe and not the Earth.<br />
A poet could use Neil Armstrong's words "that it was one giant leap for mankind, <br />
[or the beginning of the road to the stars, or astronomy's rebirth. <br />
<br />
Rebirth because such a model some eighteen centuries earlier had been formulated by a Greek, <br />
[Aristarchus of Samos, the man that Copernicus attributed the heliocentric theory. <br />
<br />
When Tedeman Gise published "De Revolutionibus"...… this fact was removed, <br />
[the heliocentric system was attributed to Copernicus, truth and history committed hara-kiri.*<br />

<i><span style="font-size: x-large;">O</span></i>n July 12th one thousand five hundred forty-two Charles V, <br />
[Holy Roman Emperor, declares war on King Francis I of France. <br />
<br />
This time King Henry VIII of England becomes an ally of the Emperor, while Francis I forms [Turkish-French troops, for us a mixture of branles de Champagne and belly dance, <br />
a lethal Aconite-Arsenic cocktail for enslaved southern peoples, <br />
[who expect the French Christians to liberate them (daydream, illusion, religious trance ?<br />
<br />
Specifically, all the Balkan peoples waited for 400 years<br />
[to unite Christians of the north sometime, in some circumstance,<br />
and thereby expel the Ottoman Turks (or Osmanlı Turks)<br />
<div>
[from the European territories of Christians.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
During four centuries enslaved Christians in south wondered about the attitude of the north. <br />
[and were made to feel as followers of another religion, as pagans,<br />
until October 20, 1827, when Allied forces from England, France and Russia<br />
[decisively defeated Ottoman and Egyptian forces,<br />
and the next year a Russian army of 100,000 men commanded by tsar Nicholas I<br />
[invaded Turkey and after several defeats, the liberation of Greece forcibly enforces.<br />

<i><span style="font-size: x-large;">E</span></i>l Greco (D. Theotokopoulos) was born in 1541, in Chandax (Venetian name)<br />
[present day Heraklion, on Crete,<br />
at a time when this Greek island was under Venetian rule,<br />
[as they were dominating the Mediterranean sea with their powerful fleet.</div>
<div>
Theotokopoulos was trained as a hagiographer who studied ancient Greek <br />
[and classical literature from a young age.<br />
Α great Greek artist of the 16th century with an uncompromising character,<br />
[who set off from Crete and went to Toledo, in search of freedom and maybe a living wage. </div>
<div>
<br />
For many years his name remained in obscurity and his paintings,<br />
[in churches and palaces of Italy and Spain, were seen as the work of a madman.<br />
<br />
Since the 20th century his work has begun to be recognized, and today...…<br />
[and today the value of his paintings is impressive, only a rich man could own one. <br />
<br />
He is considered one of the top artists of all time, who influenced even Picasso<br />
[and his paintings decorate the largest museums and private collections,</div>
<div>
<br />
"El Greco" was a nickname, a reference to his Greek origin, and he signed his paintings<br />
[with his full birth name in Greek letters (gene interconnections ?) <br />

<i><span style="font-size: x-large;">F</span></i>rancis Drake was born this year (1540) in Tavistock, Devon, England,<br />
[the future famous, slave trader, explorer, sea captain and privateer,<br />
<br />
Drake's father apprenticed him to his neighbour, the master of a barque* who later<br />
[bequeathed the barque to Drake and this began his adventurous and long career.<br />
<br />
He carried out the second circumnavigation of the world<br />
[in a single expedition, the year one thousand five hundred and eighty<br />
and was the first to complete it as captain throughout the entire circumnavigation. <br />
[in a trip grievous, important and weighty.<br />
<br />
Exploits and privateering made him a hero to the English and a pirate to the Spanish<br />
[known to them as El Draque (a mythical monster like a giant reptile).<br />
<br />
Queen Elizabeth awarded Drake a knighthood but King Philip II offered a reward<br />
[for his capture or death of 8 million US dollars in modern currency (Spanish Royal file).<br />
<br />
A short poem that describes a historical figure, perhaps a study,<br />
[maybe a portrait or a sketch or a profile.<br />

<br />
Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and Francis I of France<br />
[signed the Treaty of Toledo on January 12th 1539, <br />
agreeing to make no further alliances with England<br />
[after Henry VIII of England's split with Rome awaiting more kingdoms to align.<br />
<br />
They said the reason for that split, was Anne, the most attractive dream of Henry, <br />
[and it soon became the King's absorbing desire,<br />
to annul his marriage and merry the dreamy Ann,<br />
[a fire burning permanently in his heart, an uncontrolled fire, a "Crown Fire"? <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Me, a non-born English and with very little awareness of the Albion's history and the split </div>
[but several analysts affirm it was caused from the political differences of that time,<br />
and not from the divorce of the Tudor monarch and Catherine of Aragon,<br />
[an erroneous perception, believable and prevailing for a longtime. <br />
