Jaf used an insulting term towards the Spanish and presented Morocco as their “father,” claiming that Spain had suffered humiliations at the hands of Morocco over the last millennium and would always remain in a subordinate position. To support this claim, he cited the humiliation of Sagrajas in 1086, then the Ifni War in 1957, during which, according to him, Spain had sought the help of France. He also listed the battle of Consuegra — 1097, the battle of Uclés — 1108, the battle of Alarcos — 1195, the battles of Écija and Martos — 1275, the naval battle of Algeciras — 1278, the siege of Algeciras — 1278–1279, and the battle of Gibraltar — 1333. Jaf also mentioned the battle of the Three Kings (Oued al-Makhazin) — 1578, claiming that the Spaniards were then allied with the Portuguese in a crusade against Morocco sanctioned by the Pope. He continued with the battle of Barranco del Lobo — 1909, then several events from 1921: the fight of Abarrán, the siege of Igueriben, the battle of Anoual, the fight of Sidi Dris, the fall of Nador, the fall of Selouane, the fall of Zeluán, the surrender of Dar Quebdani, and the fall of Monte Arruit. Finally, he cited the fights of Tizi Azza — 1923, the Spanish retreat from Chefchaouen — 1924, and the Ifni War — 1957–1958. #Histoire #Maroc #Espagne (translated)

FLORENTIA challenged a post about Drama and Serres, which, as she wrote, mentioned 300,000 dead Muslims, coercion of survivors to convert to Christianity, and concealment of events from Europe for 80 years. She characterized these claims as unhistorical and cited the Ottoman census of 1906/1907, according to which the total Muslim population of the Sanjak of Serres, which included Drama, was below 175,000. Regarding the period of the Second Balkan War, in June and July 1913, she stated that the cities were under Bulgarian occupation. She referenced a report by the Carnegie Foundation from 1914, which, as she claimed, recorded that the retreating Bulgarians burned more than 4,000 houses in Serres and killed hundreds of Greek civilians. She added that the Greek Army stopped the destruction and that, based on records from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it had guaranteed by proclamation the safety, property, and religious freedom of all residents. According to her, the Muslims who remained in Macedonia retained their religious rights and their mosques until the Population Exchange. FLORENTIA also stated that, according to the Treaty of Lausanne, approximately 350,000–400,000 Muslims were organized and peacefully relocated from Greece to Turkey. She countered that the number of 1.5 million referred to Greeks from Asia Minor and Pontus, whom, as she wrote, were violently displaced or exterminated by the Young Turks and the Kemalist regime. She concluded by arguing that turning tourist destinations into tools of hatred through false claims and distortion of historical evidence constituted a new practice. #Ιστορία #Δράμα #Σέρρες (translated)

Tomas Kapler wrote in a post from the #WomenInScience series that Adéla Kochanovská, born Němejcová, discovered a hidden flaw in the armored casings of grenades using X-rays. According to him, in the storage facility, 60 out of 100 pieces ended up as scrap due to cracking; Kochanovská changed the hardening process and reduced the defect rate to a few percent. She became the first woman to obtain the title of professor at the Czech Technical University after the age of fifty. Kapler stated that Kochanovská was born on March 8, 1907, in Silesian Ostrava, where Czech, Polish, and German were commonly mixed. Her father, František Němejc, was a mining engineer, and her mother, Eleonora, née Maurerová, spoke several languages, was a photographer, and played the piano. Her mother wished for her daughter to pursue a musical career, while her uncle, academic painter Augustin Němejc, guided her towards painting. #ŽenyVeVědě #ČVUT #Inovace (translated)
