He succeeded &lt;i&gt;rohilla&lt;/i&gt; Sardar Daud Khan and helped develop Rohilkhand into a powerful nation, which became independent in 1721. Safdar Jang of Oudh informed the Mughal emperor of India Mohammed Shah&lt;sup class="reference" id="_ref-1"&gt;[2]&lt;/sup&gt; (ruled 1719-1748) about Ali Mohammmed Khan's supposed intentions to create his own Sultanate. Mohammmed Shah sent an expedition against him, as a result of which he was imprisoned. Later he was pardoned and made governor of Sirhind. After Nadir Shah, the conqueror of Iran, took control of Kabul and sacked Delhi in 1739, Ali Mohammed Khan returned to his homeland and ruled the independent state of Rohilkhand until his death in 1748.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Descendants&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Nawab&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sup class="reference" id="_ref-2"&gt;[3]&lt;/sup&gt; Faizullah Khan ((1730? - 1793) was the second son of Ali Mohammed Khan and assumed rule of the Rohilla dynasty after his fathers death. In 1774, during the invasion of Rohilkhand by the united armies of the Vizier Sujah ul Dowlah and the British East India Company, Faizullah Khan led a resistance in which many of the Rohilla's principal chiefs were slain. However, escaping from the slaughter, Faizullah Khan "made his retreat good towards the mountains, with all his treasure." He collected the scattered remains of his countrymen; and as he was the eldest surviving son of Ali Mohammed Khan, he seems at length to have been generally acknowledged by his natural subjects the undoubted heir of his father's authority.&lt;sup class="reference" id="_ref-3"&gt;[4]&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;See also&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rohilla&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Notes&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;Prose contains specific citations in source text which may be viewed in edit mode.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol class="references"&gt;&lt;li id="_note-0"&gt;&lt;b&gt;^&lt;/b&gt; The original author listed 1725 - 1749, but other websites claimed he made the Rohilla kingdom independent in 1721, see [1]&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li id="_note-1"&gt;&lt;b&gt;^&lt;/b&gt; Muhammad Shah (1702 – 1748) was a Mughal emperor of India between 1719 and 1748&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li id="_note-2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;^&lt;/b&gt; Rulers assumed the title Nawab beginning in 1737&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li id="_note-3"&gt;&lt;b&gt;^&lt;/b&gt; Edmund Burke, &lt;i&gt;The Works Of The Right Honourable Edmund Burke&lt;/i&gt;, Vol. IX., Release Date: March 27, 2005&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23430392-115350709255506990?l=chinesetreasure.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chinesetreasure.blogspot.com/feeds/115350709255506990/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23430392&amp;postID=115350709255506990' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23430392/posts/default/115350709255506990'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23430392/posts/default/115350709255506990'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chinesetreasure.blogspot.com/2006/07/ali-mohammed-khan.html' title='Ali Mohammed Khan'/><author><name>Steve</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05590153279846258366</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://tinypic.com/1zf224x.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23430392.post-115339740305825062</id><published>2006-07-20T05:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-20T05:10:03.070-07:00</updated><title type='text'>DFA</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DFA&lt;/b&gt; is a common acronym which may refer to any of the following topics:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;In computing:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Data flow analysis&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Deterministic finite automaton&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In science:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Descent from antiquity&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Direct fluorescent antibody, a medical test&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Detrended fluctuation analysis&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In Engineering:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Design for Assembly&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In government and politics:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Democracy for America&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Department of Foreign Affairs&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In music:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;DFA Records&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Death from Above 1979&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Dark Fucking Angel&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In finance:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Dimensional Fund Advisors&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Dynamic Financial Analysis&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In security:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Differential Fault Analysis&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In baseball:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Designated For Assignment&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In education:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Doctor of Fine Arts&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In Gaming:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Dark Force Aliança&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;i&gt;This page disambiguates a three-character combination which might be any or all of an abbreviation, an acronym, an initialism, a word in English, or a word in another language.

Alamein）達到高潮。1942年7月1日至7月27日，第一次阿萊曼戰役爆發。德國人成功佔領了阿萊曼，這是在亞歷山大港和蘇伊士運河之前最後一個戰略地點。然而，就像在蘇聯一樣，德國人的後勤供應跟不上，讓英軍有機會阻擋他們進攻。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10月23日到11月3日是第二次阿拉曼戰役，這次是英國人採取了主動。因為德意聯軍佔領了阿拉曼就可能直接侵佔整個埃及，繼而威脅蘇伊士運河和中東，切斷英國與印度等海外殖民地的聯繫。英軍必須設法阻止德意軍隊的進攻。10月23日夜，英軍1000多門大炮齊發，向德意軍隊發動強攻。一個多星期後，十萬多德意軍隊損失過半，防線崩潰，被迫西逃。隆美爾一路撤退到了突尼斯。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1942年11月8日，英美軍隊在「火炬行動」中登陸摩洛哥和阿爾及利亞。當地維希法國的部隊幾乎沒有任何抵抗。最終德意部隊遭到來自阿爾及利亞和利比亞部隊的夾擊。從東西兩個方向同時進攻的盟軍部隊在1943年5月13日將德意部隊完全趕出非洲。在北非戰場上，25萬軸心國士兵被俘虜。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br
