چکیده
Opsomming Oorloe bring verskillende soorte lyding vir burgerlikes. Militbre optredes lei dikwels tot die verwoesting van gemeenskappe en laat burgerlikes nie alleen dakloos nie, maar ook behoeftig. Gewoonlik word baie klem op die lot van die soldate en, soverre dit die AngloBoereoorlog aanbetref, veral die lot van die vroue en kinders in krygsgevangekampe, gel&.

From my point of view, 300 is not an example of outstanding artistic films, but a film that more than any other film contains an Iranophobic...
