Hitler designated Poznan as a fortress city, meaning that the German troops should defend it as an enclave from which to harass their enemy. The Soviets laid siege to the city, which lies between [[Warsaw]] and [[Berlin]], and captured it after a over month of bitter fighting from January 12th to February 23rd. German combat deaths were estimated at 6,000 and Soviet losses were at least 12,000. Over 90% of the inner city was damaged. Some believe the fierce German defense at Poznan prevented the Russians from launching an attack on [[Berlin]] in February 1945, while others believe the Russian armies would have stopped and consolidated before advancing in any case.

<big><big><big><big><big>'''Quantitative easing''' is an economic monetary policy in which the total money supply is increased by the [[Federal Reserve]] buying government Treasury bonds. The goal is to encourage private banks to lend more and help reduce the effects of an economic recession. First used by [[Japan]] in 2000 to fight a deflationary economy. The 2010 and 2011 actions of Federal Chairman [[Ben Bernanke]] is to buy U.S. government bonds, with borrowed money, to help ease America's declining financial statistics. By creating more dollars out of thin air, the dollar becomes devalued with the existing money supply versus other currencies. This policy of creating additional money to give to banks so that they lend more is highly questionable. The banks were largely responsible for the [[Great Recession]] and the increased money for banks have failed to produce the desired effect even after the Central Bank's $1.7 trillion purchase. The short term gains are minimal and in the long term, this will eventually lead to higher prices and inflation or even hyper-inflation. <ref>[http://blogs.forbes.com/charleskadlec/2011/02/22/higher-inflation-is-on-the-way/ Higher Inflation Is On The Way, Forbes.com, February 22, 2011]</ref>

Vice-Admiral '''Horatio Nelson''' was the greatest admiral in British history, and victor in the [[Battle of Trafalgar]] which destroyed the French and Spanish fleets in 1805; this was also the battle in which he lost his life. A top [[British]] naval commander during the [[Napoleonic Wars]] with [[France]], he key roles in the victories at the battles of the Nile (1798) and Copenhagen (1801). He was also known for the scandal concerning his famous love affair with Lady [[Emma Hamilton]].

==Early years==
Horatio Nelson was the sixth of eleven children born to Edmund and Catherine Nelson. His father was a poor Anglican minister but his mother was the sister of the Duke of Oxford, a very wealthy aristicrat who controlled the Royal Navy. When the mother died, the duke took the boy, aged twelve, to sea.

He was a slight boy, not physically strong, and often sick, but at every opportunity he would seize the initiative and learn all he could. He had to learn how ships operate, and as a midshipman, how to lead men. But there were also times for adventure, such as his first voyage to the West Indies and a scientific expedition to the Arctic in 1773, where, on the ice, he stood up to an advancing polar bear; the crew drove it away and Nelson was reprimanded for leaving the ship without authorization.

By 1777, Nelson was a lieutenant, and had sailed for the [[West Indies]] to conduct operations against the Americans during the [[American Revolutionary War|American Revolution]].
==Captain==
By age 20, he was promoted to captain, the youngest officer to hold that rank in the Royal Navy, and was given command of a frigate, taking part in operations against the Spanish in what is now [[Nicaragua]]. Although the attack on San Juan was successful, it proved to be costly in the weeks afterward, as nearly the entire British force succumbed to [[yellow fever]].

In 1783 he was back in England, and given the command of another frigate the following year. Sailing again for the West Indies, he strictly enforced the Navigation Act, with the unfortunate result of making enemies of British authorities and merchant ship owners stationed in the Caribbean islands who had profited with the American trade that the Act had forbidden. Vulnerable due to the experience there, as well as the lonliness of command, he made a port call on the island of Nevis in March, 1785, and met the widow Francis Nisbet and her young son Josiah. He courted her for two years, and they married in March, 1787 on Nevis.

Nelson returned with his bride to England and found himself without a ship’s appointment and on half pay, which continued for the next five years, possibly the result of prejudice related to his enforcement of the Navigation Act]. But by 1793 events in France would determine the Navy’s course of action: the Terror would run rampant, [[King]] [[Louis XVI]] would face the guillotine, and Nelson was given command of the 64-gun HMS ''Agamemnon''.

==Mediterranean==
[[File:H. W. Beechey Horatio Nelson.jpg|thumb|By [[Henry William Beechey]], 1800.]]
In the [[Mediterranean]], he was tasked to fight a losing defense of British allies and interests in the French port of Toulon against revolutionaries who were in the act of changing France from a monarchy to a republic; among them was a young artillery officer named Napoleon Bonaparte. Despite the loss, Nelson was content emotionally during the months spent there. On board his ship was a well-trained crew, and amongst his crew was his son whom he had taken on board; waiting for both was a loving wife. And it was during this time that Nelson changed from an enthusiastic young officer to a genius of a commander. Some of his success in his mission was due to the British minister in Naples, Sir William Hamilton.

Lord Hood had moved his base to Corsica after Toulon fell, and where Nelson and his crew went ashore to help capture Bastia and Calvi; a French shot ricocheted debris into his right eye, nearly losing it and rendering him blind there. An upsurge in French successes caused the British to abandon their bases in the central Mediterranean and consolidate at Gibraltar and the Tagus. Hood had earlier been replaced by two individuals, one of whom, Sir John Jervis, was a very experienced sailor who quickly recognized the command qualities possessed by Nelson.
