Its northern terminus is at the Missouri state line near South West City, Missouri where it continues north as Missouri State Highway 43; its southern terminus was originally at U.S. Highway 412 in Siloam Springs, but was rerouted in the mid 1990's along the former Arkansas State Highway 204, terminating at Arkansas State Highway 59.

California State Route 43 California State Route 43 is a north-south California State Highway along the southern San Joaquin Valley connecting the towns of Shafter, Wasco, Hanford, and Selma, running roughly parallel to CA-99.

North of Wasco, the road is called the Central Valley Highway and it remains two lanes wide for its entire length until its northern terminus in Selma with CA-99.

Gewehr 43 The Gewehr 43, Karabiner 43 (G43, K43; Gew 43, Kar 43) was a semi-automatic rifle of Nazi Germany developed during World War II, developed from the G41(W) but using the gas system of the Tokarev SVT40. The program for a semi-automatic infantry rifle resulted in two designs the G41(M) and G41(W), from Mauser and Walther respectively. They both proved unreliable in combat when introduced in 1941, more so the Mauser, and only several thousand were made of each. In 1943 Walther combined the SVT40 system with aspects of the G41(W), which performed much better. It was accepted and entered service as the G43, and in 1944 renamed K43, with production amounting just over 400,000. (references)

Events

By place

Britain

  • The long Roman conquest of Britain begins. Aulus Plautius lands with four legions and an equal number of auxiliaries and defeats the Britons, led by Caratacus and Togodumnus, in battles on the rivers Medway and Thames. He halts at the Thames and sends for the emperor Claudius, who leads the march on Camulodunum. Eleven British kings, probably including those of the Iceni and Brigantes, submit without a fight. Meanwhile, the future emperor Vespasian begins to subdue the south-west. The Romans begin to construct forts such as at Peterborough, and begin to construct a road that later becomes Ermine Street.

Roman Empire

  • Consuls are the emperor Claudius (his second consulship) and Lucius Vitellius.
  • Claudius annexes Lycia in Asia Minor, combining it with Pamphylia as a Roman province.

Asia
