Tactegau dychryn ac y grefft o rhyfel

Ofn a phryder wedi bod yn elfen hanfodol mewn unrhyw strategaeth gyffredinol ers y wawr o amser. Roedd yr ymerodraeth Asyriad a ffurfiwyd yn ôl pob sôn drwy ddefnyddio symiau hael o arswyd a chreulondeb. Mae'r Spartans taro arswyd o'r fath yn eu gelynion bod eu lluoedd yn aml yn ennill eu rhyfeloedd yn wladwriaethau Groeg ddinas arall yn syml gan gyrraedd ar faes y gad. Gaius Marius, Seneddwr y Weriniaeth Rufeinig hynafol, unwaith quelled y bygythiad o gwrthryfel mewn deyrnas cleient drwy osod ar ei wrthwynebydd y grym lleng Rufeinig sengl. Mae'r llu Mongol hawlio teyrnasoedd gyfan fel y maent yn ysgubo trwy Ewrop drwy ddefnyddio tactegau dychryn. Y ffaith yw, hyd yn oed cyn strategaethau ddiddymu llwyr, ofn a phryder wedi bod yn hir yn y arsenal o rheolwyr milwrol.

Ofn a phryder yn hynod o ddefnyddiol o ran cadw lluoedd y gelyn o nid yn unig yn ymladd yn effeithiol, ond mewn rhai achosion, gallai fod yn eu hysbrydoli i adael eich tiriogaeth yn gyfan gwbl. Roedd hyn yn wir pan Vlad III Dracula, yn fwy cyffredin y cyfeirir atynt yn hanes fel y Impaler Vlad, a wynebir yn erbyn Twrcaidd llethol 1 a grym yr Otomaniaid. Yn ôl adroddiadau hanesyddol, pan fydd y Shah-yn Shah yn y lluoedd draws y maes enfawr o filwyr impaled ddal o gyfarfyddiadau blaenorol gyda Vlad byddin, trodd yn ôl. Cafodd ei gyfarch gyda delwedd sy'n ysbrydoli ofn a phryder hyd yn oed yn ei fyddin i fod anorchfygol: golwg miloedd o filwyr Twrcaidd a impaled Ottoman. Mae'r rhan fwyaf o haneswyr milwrol yn cydnabod Vlad yn dacteg fel un o'r defnydd mwyaf effeithiol o ryfela seicolegol ac arswyd mewn hanes.

Mae'r defnydd o ofn a phryder, fodd bynnag, yn gyfyngedig yn unig i heddluoedd gelyn. Yn ystod yr Ail Ryfel Byd, ym Mrwydr enwog o Stalingrad, y Sofietiaid a gyflogir ofn a phryder ar eu heddluoedd eu hunain. Milwyr conscripts Sofietaidd, cymryd rymus am eu cartrefi a phrin arfog hyd yn oed yn briodol ar gyfer ymladd, hysbyswyd y byddai i encilio golygu farwolaeth. Yn wyneb gyda dewis o naill ai bwledi Almaeneg neu Rwsieg bwledi, y Fyddin Goch Adroddwyd fod wedi codi dro ar ôl tro i linellau Almaeneg, yn ôl pob golwg yn dangos fawr o barch eu diogelwch eu hunain.

Hanes hefyd sawl enghraifft o ofn a phryder cael effaith ar y symudiadau o filwyr. Un enghraifft digwydd eto yn ystod yr Ail Ryfel Byd. Milwyr yr Almaen o'r amser yn enwog am fod yn effeithiol, fel bod y rheolwyr y Cynghreiriaid yn teimlo ei fod yn gamgymeriad tactegol i anfon eu milwyr i wynebu byddin Hitler blitzkrieg. Mae'r llinellau blaen profiadol hefyd ofn a phryder, yn enwedig pan fyddant yn wynebu troedfilwyr sizable Almaeneg ac is-adrannau panzer. Fel ateb, comandwyr America a Phrydain wedi cymryd y ciw gan y Fyddin Goch Sofietaidd ar flaen y Dwyrain a'i orchymyn eu heddluoedd i gynnwys y Rwmania llai wedi'u hyfforddi'n dda ac Eidaleg byddinoedd, a oedd heb y ddisgyblaeth ac offer eu cymheiriaid yn yr Almaen.

Roedd y tanc yn y lle cyntaf fel arf i fygwth, a gynlluniwyd i godi ofn gwŷr traed i dorri eu hystyried yn y màs agosáu o ddur a drylliau daeth yn nes iddynt. Mae tanciau eu maneuvered yn syth i mewn llinellau troedfilwyr gelyn, ni waeth faint o ddifrod byddai'r peiriannau wedi cymryd, yn syml i'w defnyddio effaith y tanc yn frawychus i'r eithaf.

Y ffaith yw, tactegau dychryn oedd, yn, a bydd bob amser yn rhan o ryfela am gyhyd ag y mae bodau dynol yn ymladd ar y rheng flaen. Eich dychryn filwyr ei hun yn lle ysbryd ac arswydus eich gwrthwynebwyr fel ffordd o digalon yn amlwg yn cael ei ystyried yn rhan annatod o unrhyw ganllaw cynhwysfawr i ryfela.

Do you know what abstract painting is? This type of painting can be defined in various ways. Unlike traditional paintings, abstract painting doesn抰 portray reality. Before, painting was all about depicting a realistic or photographic expression of something or someone. However, abstract paintings are a lot different. The painting itself does not illustrate real objects. The shapes and colors shown in abstract paintings are non-objective and non-representing. The painting may refer to a person or to any other individual, anything, or even nothing. If you can't understand the meaning of a particular painting, you can ask the experts or even the painter about its meaning. Natural art lovers on the other hand, don抰 need explanations because if they love abstract paintings, they will understand clearly the significance of the painting.

Try to look at an abstract painting. You will see bright, vivid, and bold colors. Aside from the colors, you will also note that the painting has biometric shapes. For art lovers, this is a beautiful and strange piece.

Way back in 1940, Abstract Expressionism is a movement pushed through by the artists. The artists and painters supported abstract painting and they wanted the freedom of expression through the paintings they made. This made abstract painting more popular. The movement began in a particular school in New York and the movement was also called Action Painting. Among the American schools that joined the movement declared their independence from the artworks of European style. After this, abstract painting was pushed forward.

In order to understand and appreciate abstract painting, you must know its humble beginnings. Even if abstract painting is quite odd, you should still learn to love it because its part of history and it is still a painting which expresses the thoughts and feelings of painters. You can get paintings like this in art galleries online and local art shops.  Some are quite expensive but there are also cheap ones. You can get replicas of the original classic abstract paintings made by the famous painters by purchasing them in certain companies that commission this kind of painting style.

Try to conduct a research about abstract painting. You can find many resources online so that you will understand more about this painting style. A painting is not always a representation of a specific object or person and that is exactly what abstract painting is all about.
