Well, uh, I have completely no idea, so you guys can keep figuring this out, I guess. We give you the option to ask question

LoL no, a hint it originally comes to Europe from Ceylon It doesn't really fit the other clues but Ceylon always makes me think of tea, so I'll say that.

Also, The Light Bringer, I couldn't find where the invention I am using for my bonus round was specifically from before the trader introduced it to Europe, its Wiki only stated that the invention originated in India. Maybe you might be off, nonetheless, I'm curious on what you consider to be the answer.

It wasn't originated there, it simply was brought from there as it was easier and cheaper to get it there at the time, later things changed and both India and China were very important at this...

Germany's Army Group South February-March 1943 This German Counterattack resulted in a victory, allowing Germany to gain Belgorod and Kharkov. Next hints: Battle between the Soviet Central Front and 16th Air Army against Germany's 4th Panzer Army, II SS Panzer Corps, XLVIII Panzer Corps, 1st Panzer Army, 4th & 6th Air Army. During this battle, the commanding Soviet generals were Filipp Golikov, Nikolai Vatutin, Konstantin Rokossovsky, and Koptsov while the German's commanding generals were Erich Von Manstein, Paul Hausser, Hermann Hoth, Eberhard Von Mackensen, and Theodor Eicke. In this battle, Vasily Koptsov and Theodor Eicke died. If no one can guess this, the best I can do is start throwing out key dates of battles and coordinates.

Also why would people think it was a pronoun? I dunno, well I couldn't think of hints that time, and was talking to someone else. So what resulted was I tried to provide a hint quickly. And I completely forgot about it. And no, not Donets Mountain. Very close though.

I've decided I might as well throw everything I have. The following is all the names it was given by both participants of the battle The __ Battle of ___ Germany known it as Donets _____ The USSR known this as ___ and ___ Operations More background info: February 19, 1943 - March 15, 1943 In January 2, 1943, Soviet Operation Star and Gallop was launched, breaking through the German defenses, allowing the Soviets to recapture Kharkov and Belgorod, Kursk, Voroshilovgrad and Izium. Although these victories were great, the Soviets overextended themselves and several units were depleted. With the surrender of the German 6th Army, the Soviet Central Front could now turn it's attention to the German Army Group Center and Army Group South. On February 16, Manstein launched an assault using the II SS Panzer Corp and 2 panzer armies and massive amounts of air support. With that, Manstein flanked, encircled, and defeated Soviet armored spearheads south of Kharkov, allowing Manstein to attack Kharkov again. Though Manstein and the German High Command ordered the SS Panzer Corp to attack north, the SS made a frontal assault, causing heavy casualties and intense urban combat. 4 days of urban combat led to the capture of Kharkov. Later, Belgorod was captured by the Germans, forming a salient. This salient would be the place where the Battle of Kursk would occur. More hints will be given later. This time, I'll go look into encyclopedias and books, I might be running out of hints, and I need to find a way to give a more obvious hint... And sorry guys, I think I accidentally turned this into a guessing game of spelling. After this, I'm gonna take a break from this to reflect.
