In a text about Jews fleeing Romania during WWII, when do I capitalize things like:
All these relatives fled East/east and North/north from the German and Romanian armies
The Germans marched from the west/West into Russia
France was split in two: the northern/Northerm part, including occupied Paris, and the southern/Southern part (Vichy).
And simple things like -
At this point the boulevard ran from east to west, parallel to the river.
But also -
In 1944 we became “allies” of the West.
(Was there even a division into blocs then?)
Yours confusedly.
