3 sea battles can claim to be the greatest ever. (1) Ecnomus in 256 BC, for the number of ships: Rome 1 - Carthage 0. (2) Leyte in 1944, for firepower and expanse of ocean: USA 1 - Japan 0. (3) Jutland on 31 May 1916, for number and size of battleships: Germany beat Britain on penalties but fled the field.
Libya's Col. Gaddafi had an arrangement with Italy to take back people who entered Italy illegally. Now Italy gives them permits and transports them North in the hope they will go to another country. The USA's strict immigration laws were relaxed in 1965. Britain, an island, used to return illegals to France but, since 1991, now doesn't.
Legal battles have replaced sea battles to determine who lives where.
