Caveats:
- Changes to the links page will not be included here. Check the page if you wish to see if there are any changes.
- Minor changes to pages for spelling corrections, unit corrections etc.. will not usually be listed. For such small
changes it takes just about as long to modify this page as it does to make the changes to the other pages.

- To make the pages a little less drab, there are changes to the major sections in that I have added national flags for the nations involved. I have tried to be as accurate as possible with the flag used for each nation. I have used many web references
to determine which flag seems appropriate for that time period. Please let me know of errors. I will be glad to fix them if the change is documentable. Thanks.
