Zara Phillips is the most amazing sportswoman and is widely considered to be the foremost exponent of three-day-eventing in Great Britain. Everyone in the UK agrees that she is the greatest sportsperson in the country and as such voted her to an amazing landslide victory in the 2006 BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

Zara's (extremely) brief career is evidence of the wisdom of that decision. Whoever the Zara creative team was, they lacked Meskin's artistic brilliance, the cinematic quality of his panels, and his genius with facial expressions. Zara's writer lacked the genius of Eisner, as well.

The bombing of Zara (Croatian: Zadar) during the Second World War by the Allies lasted from November 1943 to October 1944. Although other large cities in Italy were ... bombed, the bombing of Zara stands out because of the number of attacks and the number of fatalities. Reports vary greatly; the Allies documented 30 bombing raids, while contemporary Italian accounts claim 54. Fatalities recorded range from under 1,000, up to as many as 4,000 of the city's 20,000 inhabitants.

It is known that on April 8, the Yugoslavian air force bombed Zara. Although this resulted in some damage, it cannot be compared to the bombing that the city would endure two years later. The civilians had been previously evacuated towards Ancona and Pola (Croatian Pula) . The Treaty of Rome in 1941 between the newly-formed fascist puppet Independent State of Croatia (NDH) and Italy handed over a large part of northern Dalmatia to Italy including the cities of Split and Knin.
