Assassination of JFK Apollo 11 Moon Landing Sinking of the Titanic Columbus discovers America Moon Landing 18 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: MOON LANDING Answer: Roman numerals, the numeric system of ancient Rome, uses combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet to signify values. They are composed of seven Latin letters. They are, in this order, from lowest to highest: I (one), V (five), X (ten), L (fifty), C (one hundred), D (five hundred), and M (one thousand). The United States' Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the Moon, on July 20, 1969. To convert 1969 to Roman Numerals you need to split it up into place values (ones, tens, hundreds, etc.) 1,969 = 1,000 + 900 + 60 + 9. Combine the values together to get MCMLXIX.

Eisenhower Woodrow Wilson Harry S. Truman John F. Kennedy Dwight D Eisenhower 6 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: DWIGHT D EISENHOWER Answer: On this day in 1959, President Eisenhower signed an executive order proclaiming Hawaii the 50th state of the union. Before the Second World War, the United States was a 48 state nation with some territories including Alaska and Hawaii. The United States purchased Alaska from Russia in 1867 while Hawaii was a republic which ceded itself to the United States. Both of these territories attained statehood in 1959 (with Hawaii being the last to gain statehood) thus making Dwight Eisenhower the first American President to preside over the fifty states.

Trump and the mother of Barron Trump. She is the second First Lady born outside of the United States, and she is the only First Lady to become a naturalized U.S. citizen. Melania Trump was born on April 26, 1970 in Novo Mesto, Slovenia (then part of communist Yugoslavia). At age 16, she began what would soon become a highly successful modeling career. In 1996, she moved to New York and ten years later, she became a United States citizen.

Members phkrause Posted August 23, 2019 Author Members Posted August 23, 2019 18 hours ago, phkrause said: Who Was Really the First President to Ride in an Automobile, and Who Was the First President to Have an Official One? Roosevelt may have been the first president to ride in an automobile in public as part of his official duties, but he was not really the first president to set foot in a car. That honor goes to William McKinley, who in 1899 took a ride in a Stanley Steamer as a demonstration. Cars gradually became more important both to presidential administrations and to society, and while Roosevelt's administration did have a car, William Howard Taft became the first president to have an official automobile (actually, four) for presidential business. By the way, one of Taft's cars was a Baker Electric, and another was steam-powered. The other two were gasoline-powered. 18 hours ago, phkrause said: Who Was the First President to Travel Abroad on Business? 18 hours ago, phkrause said: Who Was the First President to Be American-Born? Given there is a requirement for U.S. presidents to be born citizens on U.S. soil, it's easy to overlook the fact that several early presidents were not born as U.S. citizens. And in fact, the citizenship requirement accounts for this. These first few presidents were actually born as colonial subjects and British citizens, and it wasn't until Martin van Buren, who took office in 1837, that the president was actually born as a citizen of the United States. The clause in the Constitution that governs presidential eligibility requirements notes that the president must be either a natural-born citizen (i.e., not a naturalized citizen) or a U.S. citizen at the time the Constitution was adopted. 18 hours ago, phkrause said: Who Was the First President to Appear on an Entertainment-Based TV Show? Presidents have used media to their advantage for decades, but appearances were limited to serious, official business. That changed in the 1960s when dour-seeming Richard Nixon made two widely seen TV appearances on shows meant for entertainment. The first was as a candidate who lost a gubernatorial race; this was in 1963, and the appearance was on The Tonight Show with Jack Paar. In 1968, Nixon became the first president -- or candidate, rather -- to appear on a comedy show when he made a cameo appearance on Laugh-In, delivering the famous line, "sock it to me." The first sitting president to appear on an entertainment show was Gerald Ford, making a cameo on Saturday Night Live. Technically, Ford was there as a candidate for his re-election campaign, but he was, of course, in office at the time.

Black Lives Matter Tea Party movement Occupy Wall Street Me Too movement Occupy Wall Street I believe?? Answer: Occupy Wall Street was a protest movement that began on September 17, 2011, in Zuccotti Park, located in New York City's Wall Street financial district, against economic inequality. The main issues raised by Occupy Wall Street were social and economic inequality, greed, corruption and the undue influence of corporations on government—particularly from the financial services sector. The Occupy Wall Street slogan, "We are the 99%", refers to income and wealth inequality in the U.S. between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population.

It is regarded as a central work of world literature and one of Tolstoy's finest literary achievements. Tolstoy’s historical novel on the Napoleonic invasion of Russia has become a byword for long books. War and Peace has 587,287 words with 1,215 pages. Tolstoy completed his first draft in 1863, but he later spent three years rewriting most of it. In comparison, J. R. R. Tolkien managed to write his classic The Lord of the Rings in “just” 481,103 words.
