Modern
Thailand vs Cambodia War
When Ancient Stones Became Grounds for Modern Guns In the heart of Southeast Asia, two countries—Thailand and Cambodia—share not only borders but centuries of cultural, religious, and political history. While their people often interact peacefully through trade, tourism, and regional cooperation, a cloud of conflict once loomed over a sacred site high atop a cliff: Preah Vihear Temple. The conflict, commonly referred to as the Thailand vs Cambodia war, wasn’t a full-scale war in traditional terms, but it was a bitter, dangerous, and deadly border dispute that held global attention during the late 2000s and early 2010s.

Versace’s legacy is more than just daring dresses
London (CNN) -From bondage styles to safety pinned dresses, daring party frocks are widely considered to be the key protagonists of Gianni Versace’s sartorial legacy.

Mezhrevande: a Homeland of the Ethnic Qarsherskiyan Tribe and about the people. AI-Generated.
The Mezhrevande, also spelled Mezhravande, is the homeland of the Ethnic Qarsherskiyan Tribe, a group tri-racial multigenerationally mixed-race families who trace their ancestry to interracial relationships between Native Americans, Black indentured servants and slaves, White indentured servants and poor White lower class people, and Free People Of Color. The Mezhrevande stretches from Lake Erie to the Chesapeake Bay and from South Carolina's Sandhills to Lake Champlain and Maine and Northern Appalachia. The US states of Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina are usually considered to contain the Mezhrevande, although many now acknowledgement the Mezhrevande also includes the mountains of New York, Maine, Vermont, and the coastal plains around Rosewood, Florida where Eli Walden and other Qarsherskiyans from the Goins-Walden Qarsherskiyan clan of the Carolina Sandhills migrated to over a century ago, with some Goins relatives surviving the Rosewood Massacre, although not all did. People with African ancestry including Black Americans and Qarsherskiyan people were killed during the Rosewood Massacre in Levy County, Florida. A few Qarsherskiyan people are debating also including the Apalachicola River Basin Valley as being part of the Mezhrevande as well. The Mezhrevande it's not one single contiguous land mass but wherever a patchwork or collection of areas of land in Eastern North America where Qarsherskiyan people have a historic presence and deep cultural connections to the land.
