Author Description

Throughout the history of mankind there have always been wars and their resulting after effects. Normally, these wars have ended through negotiated settlements amongst the parties concerned or with the total destruction and subjugation of one side by the other. In the negotiated settlement what each side was to receive from the other was spelled out usually in the settlement documents. However, in the case of one side being vanquished by the other, the victors would normally enforce their will on their opponents, including what they wished to be done with the populace and their leaders.
