Quiz for Baha'is

Here is a trivia question that every Baha'i should know, since it figures in the life of Baha'u'llah.

What is the most disputed territory in history?


Answer:

Adrianople

see: John Keegan, The Face of Battle (London, 1976, ISBN 0-670-30432-8), which includes a disquisition on why Adrianople, Edirne in modern Turkey, has been the most fought-over place in the world (it stands on the land bridge between Europe and Asia)

Baha'u'llah's time in Adrianople was by far His most productive, in terms of the volume of what He wrote.
