February February 1942, Winston Churchill called "the worst disaster and the largest defeat in the entire history of Britain." On this day, the sixty -thousandth Japanese army forced the surrender in Singapore a hundred -year -old contingent of the British Empire, which included the selected units of the British, Indian and Australian troops. In order to assess the scale of the disaster, it is important to illustrate that so much the approximately seven -million population of the territory around the Malacca Strait was controlled by no more than a two thousandth contingent of the imperial troops.

Where are the money subscribers going
Most Republic materials are available by paid subscription. We believe that this is a good way to finance media. After all, as you know, if you have not paid for reading it, then someone else paid for you to read it. In our case, everything is honest: from your money, salaries and fees are paid to journalists, and they write about important and interesting topics for you.
The key feature of our subscription: your money is distributed between Republic magazines depending on how you read it. If you read the materials of one magazine, then your money will go only to him, while others will not go. That is, you finance only what you are interested in.
Republic uses the Redefine.media subscription. For design, we will redirect you to the Redefine.media website, where you will need to register and pay for the subscription. Authorization on the Redefine.Media website will allow you to read Republic materials from the same device.
A year subscription is more profitable than a month. And if you want to unsubscribe, this can always be done in your personal account.
