The Story of the Irish Famine of the 1840s.

Chronological look at the conception, construction and destruction of the World Trade Center towers which was built as a symbol of American strength and ambition.

After the failed insurrection of 1916, revolutionary Ireland reorganized and devised new tactics that would eventually lead to the country's independence. Such important figures as Michael Collins and Éamon de Valera emerged on the world media stage as leaders of the Irish revolutionary struggle, facing British political heavyweights such as Winston Churchill and Lloyd George. The tactics, both in guerrilla warfare and in radicalizing the Irish population, would eventually force a British withdrawal and a treaty leading to an independent Irish state.

The superior productivity of agriculture and other technology, as i tool-making, enabled the start of many aspects of civilization, such as ownership, socio-political structures and armed violence. They left the first monuments, still hard to read.
