“…The section worst effected was Contract D in Northamptonshire, where quicksand caused serious problems for engineers at Kilsby Hill just as it had for railway engineers in the 1830s. 71 Work was reduced to a minimum during the winter months of 1958-59, but in March the 'company's great spring offensive' began, which Rolt described in 'The final assault': the last chapter of The London-Birmingham Motorway. 72 Rolt saw the successful and timely completion of the motorway as an inevitable outcome reflecting the careful planning of engineers who, like the 'High Command planning a major military campaign', 'determined its grand strategy', decided 'what forces to mobilise, how to deploy them in the field, and by what hierarchy of command various activities should be directed'.…”

The Nagorno-Karabakh problem had continued for years. The problem had grown thanks to the policies of Russia in the region. The Russians first had carried out expansionist policies. After the industrial revolution, oil in the Caucasus had gained importance in the region. Therefore, the Russian Armenians immigrated to these regions. Strategic plans have been developed to increase the Christian population in the region and to make the region a region without Turks. Armenia and Azerbaijan had gained independence after the Soviet Union collapsed after the Cold War. After the Soviet Union, Russia had given the region the right to self-determination, and the population in the Nagorno-Karabakh region began to be Armenian. Azerbaijani Turks were immigrated from this region. Negotiating groups have been included for the solution of the problem in this region and a ceasefire has been signed between the two countries. Violations had occurred over the years after the ceasefire signed between the two countries. Russia had not wanted the presence of international actors in this region. For this reason, Russia continues to be on the Armenian side. Today, Russia has a voice in the region with a balanced policy. Nagorno-Karabakh region is legally connected to Azerbaijan and has not been recognized as de-facto.
