IndiaChinaEgyptTurkey India 7 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: INDIA Answer: The Taj Mahal is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the south bank of the Yamuna river in Agra, India. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal who died giving birth to their 14th child. It also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan, the builder. The tomb is the centerpiece of a 42 acre complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall. The Taj Mahal remains one of the world’s most celebrated structures and a stunning symbol of India’s rich history.

Al CaponeJohn Wilkes BoothJack The RipperCharles Manson John Wilkes Booth 20 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: JOHN WILKES BOOTH Answer: Dr. Samuel Mudd was a physician who was imprisoned for conspiring with John Wilkes Booth in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. After fatally shooting Lincoln on this day in 1865, Booth escaped to Mudd's home for surgery on his fractured leg. A military commission found Dr. Mudd guilty of aiding and conspiring in the murder, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment, escaping the death penalty by a single vote. Mudd was pardoned by President Andrew Johnson and released from prison in 1869. His conviction has never been overturned. Samuel Mudd is often given as the origin of the phrase "Your name is mud."

Seward. Conspirators Lewis Powell and David Herold were assigned to kill William H. Seward, and George Atzerodt was tasked with killing Andrew Johnson. Beyond Lincoln's death the plot failed: Seward was only wounded and Johnson's would-be attacker lost his nerve. After a dramatic initial escape, Booth was killed at the climax of a 12-day manhunt. Powell, Herold, Atzerodt and Mary Surratt were later hanged for their roles in the conspiracy. Of the eight other people eventually charged with the conspiracy, four were hanged and four were jailed.

HMS EndeavorRMS CarpathiaThe OlympiaU.S.S. Constitution Carpathia Answer: RMS Carpathia was a transatlantic passenger steamship and became famous for rescuing the survivors of rival RMS Titanic after it struck an iceberg and sank on this day in 1912. Carpathia braved dangerous ice fields and diverted all steam power to her engines in her attempt to aid the ship, but sadly arrived two hours after Titanic had sunk; nevertheless, she was able to rescue 705 survivors from the ship's lifeboats. Carpathia herself met her fate in the Atlantic on July 17, 1918 during the First World War after being torpedoed by the German submarine U-55 off the Irish coast.

Revolutionary WarGreat Chicago FireCivil WarSan Francisco Earthquake The Civil War Answer: There wasn't always an income tax, and initially tariffs provided the main source of revenue for the government. The first income tax was created in 1861 during the Civil War as a mechanism to finance the war effort. At first, Congress placed a flat 3-percent tax on all incomes over $800 and later modified this principle to include a graduated tax. Congress repealed the income tax in 1872, but the concept did not disappear. In early 20th century the income tax enjoyed renewed support, and in February of 1913 the Sixteenth Amendment was ratified to the Constitution, thus granting Congress the power to collect taxes on personal income.

The assassination set off a rapid chain of events, as Austria-Hungary immediately blamed the Serbian government for the attack. As Russia supported Serbia, Austria asked for assurances that Germany would step in on its side against Russia and its allies, including France and possibly Great Britain. On July 28, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, beginning the devastating conflict now known as World War I.

The style originally became popular in the late 19th century in the United States. Charlie Chaplin was one of the most famous wearers of the toothbrush moustache. In a 1933 interview, Chaplin said he added the moustache to his costume because it had a comical appearance and was small enough so as not to hide his expression. Adolf Hitler was a fan of Chaplin, but there is no evidence that Hitler modeled his mustache after Chaplain.
