Bob Ross' 70th Birthday

No, Bob Ross doesn't have anything to do with European History, but since I always bring him up when we talk about art in the Renaissance I couldn't resist when I saw Google's search page today.

Fjords, fjords, fjords

Had an excellent extended weekend in Norway. Looking forward to reading your first current event summaries. Hope you're enjoying your summer!

Greetings from Oslo!

Weather hasn't really cooperated yet, but we've been sightseeing around Oslo. Hopefully the weather improves for our northern expedition to see some fjords and glaciers. Hopefully everyone can find Norway on the map by this point.

Boys volleyball at Penn State

Bummed that boys lost in semis, but had a great day showing my family around my alma mater.

Economic Turmoil in Greece

Things seem to be coming unhinged in Greece. The government has a massive amount of debt and is planning on drastically cutting back spending to make ends meet. The people are not happy and have taken to the streets. Read more at nytimes.com, cnn.com, or http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world/europe/. See images at http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2011/06/15/world/europe/20110616_GREECE-9.html

What would we do if our government found itself in a similar bind?

The Last Tsar of Russia

It's a busy historical weekend in Eastern Europe. Yesterday 600th anniversary of Battle of Grunwald and tonight the anniversary of the death of the Romanovs. During the night of July 16-17, the Tsar and his family were roused from their beds, dressed, and were escorted to the basement of the house in which they were confined. There they found armed soldiers waiting for them. Despite legends that one of the Romanovs, Anastasia for example, had survived, evidence today proves otherwise. Some of the family's remains were discovered accidentally in 1979, and officially identified in 1998 by DNA testing. More remains were discovered and identified in 2007. Read more about the last of the Romanovs by following this link:

600th Anniversary of Battle of Grunwald

Yesterday was the 600th anniversary of the pivotal Battle of Grunwald in the war between the Teutonic Knights and the Lithuanian-Polish Alliance. With the Lithuanian-Polish victory, the Teutonic Knights power was greatly diminished and the Lithuanian-Polish Empire would dominate Eastern Europe for more than 300 years. Follow the link below to read more about the battle and plans for this weekends reenactments. Yes, Civil War buffs are not the only re-enactors in the world...
