<p class="article-text">WS No.88 wireless transceiver is a VHF-FM transceiver (commonly known as "walkie-talkie"), used by the British military since the 1950s. It is mainly used for short-distance (within 2 miles) infantry communication.</p>

<remark>
<p class="article-text-h">Note:</p>
<p class="article-text">Irish people began to migrate to the northeastern United States on a large scale, after the Great Irish Famine broke out in 1845. This famine, caused by the failure of potato harvests and the inaction of the British government, caused the population of the island of Ireland to drop by half. Since most of the Irish immigrants left or died in the disaster are poor people whose native language is Gaelic, the local language in Ireland has gradually changed to English, which has permanently changed the language and cultural ecology of the island.</p>

<remark post="U2FsdGVkX19kUIIJSICTAeS2APir">
<p class="article-text-h">Note:</p>
<p class="article-text">The Boston Massacre was a clash between British soldiers and the people of Boston, resulting in the death of five people.</p>
<p class="article-text">On March 5, 1770, a British officer (John Goldfinch) bought a wig and returned to camp. The clerk of the wig shop (Edward Garrick) misunderstood and though that the officer did not pay, so he shouted and misbehaved with the officer. The officer had actually setteled the acount and ignored the insults. However a private in his entourage (Hugh White) started an quarrel with the clerk, and finally beat him. The hurt clerk was bleeding and started weeping, and the angry onlookers immediately surrounded the officer and his men. Another British army officer (Thomas Preston) led several soldiers to rescue them, but they were thrown stones and beaten by the people. The British army fired at the crowd in a hurry, killing 5 civilians and causing other six people to be injured.</p>
<p class="article-text">Although the responsibility for this matter was not entirely on the British army, it greatly intensified the previous tensions existing between the military and civilians in the British North American colonies, and eventually became one of the most significant events leading to the outbreak of the American Revolution.</p>

<p class="article-text-h">Note</p>
<p class="article-text">The Battle of Lexington and Concord (Battles of Lexington and Concord) was an armed conflict between the British Army and the North American militia, which took place on April 19, 1775. Although the U.S. Senate passed a resolution in 1908 to designate the Battle of Point Pleasant as the first battle of the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783), the American society still generally regarded the battle of Lexington and Concord as the first battle. It is seen as the starting point for the war of independence</p>
