Although it is probably the second-shortest war in recorded history, there can be no doubt that its aftermath and outcome have had long-lasting effects. In fact, the decisive Israeli victory that ended the conflict still shapes the political landscape of the area in the 21st Century, more than half a century later.
The main thing that makes a fiddle a fiddle and a violin a violin is the type of music that is played on it. Generally, fiddles play folk/traditional genres (e.g. Cajun music, Irish trad, and klezmer), and violins play composition-based genres (e.g. Western classical music, Indian classical music, and jazz).
Instrument names in the violin family are all derived from the root viola, which is a derivative of the Medieval Latin word vitula (meaning stringed instrument). A violin is a little viola, a violone is a big viola or a bass violin, and a violoncello (often abbreviated cello) is a small violone (or literally, a small big viola). (The violone is not part of the modern violin family; its place is taken by the modern double bass, an instrument with a mix of violin and viol characteristics.)
