The Bonus Army was a group of WW I vets who went to Washington to demand payment of a bonus during the Depression. Congress rejected their demands, so President Hoover sent in the Army to evict the vets and burn the camp using gas, bayonets, and tanks. The response led to Hoover's defeat in 1932.

Oct. 1919, Pres. Woodrow Wilson suffers a severe stroke. He was bedridden and partially paralyzed. Many believe that 1st Lady Edith ran the govt. for the last 17 mos. of his term. She claimed that she never made major decisions and acted only as a steward. The 25th amendment was passed in 1967.

George Lincoln Rockwell founded the American Nazi Party. He coined the expression White Power. He praised Hitler, denied the Holocaust, and believed that MLK was a tool of the Jews, whom he blamed for the civil rights movement. He was shot and killed in 1967 by a former member of the ANP.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian-Serb member of the Black Hand, on June 28, 1914. As tensions escalated, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia a month later. This set off a domino effect of alliances and declarations of war, ultimately leading to World War I.

In theory, it was sound judgement and the use of sand to knock particles out of the air and boron to stop the nuclear reaction would still be used today. It didn't work at Chernobyl because of the reactor's design.

The Carrington event was the most intense solar flare in history. It peaked around September 1-2, 1859. It was observed by British astronomers Richard Carrington and Richard Hodgson. If it occurred today, it would cause widespread disruptions, blackouts, and damage to the electrical grid.

Ball's Pyramid is the remnant of an ancient volcano. It rises 561m above the sea. Discovered in 1788 by Lieutenant Henry Lidgbird Ball, it was unexplored for years due to its sheer cliffs and remoteness. The first recorded ascent was in 1965, when a team led by Bryden Allen successfully scaled it.
