On June 10, 1940, Italian leader Benito Mussolini decided that the time was right for his brave and fearless army to go into battle and win some glorious victories.
In 1911, he became a student of the Wright Brothers Flight School, where he received his Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) pilot's certificate No. 29 and his military airman's certificate No. 2.
He was born around 1031, as the second-born son of Prince Břetislav I and Jitka of Svinibrod. After the death of his father, his elder brother Spytihnev II became the ruling prince, Vratislav inherited the Olomouc destiny according to his father's will. His other siblings are Conrad I of Brno, Ota of Olomouc and Bishop Jaromír.
The Ottoman Empire fought alongside the Central Powers against Tsarist Russia in the Caucasus, where Russian troops were numerically weaker and poorly supplied. Russia therefore asked Great Britain for help in this area on 2 January 1915.
