Columbus was looking for a water route to India when he found a small island called Hispaniola. He had sailed for 32 days and though he was in India. What he found was a few natives with very little gold. It was the gold he really wanted and he ordered the natives to bring it to him. When they didn't he cut off their hands. He didNOT DISCOVER AMERICA AND NEVER KNEW IT WAS THERE.

If the car is still running but struggle sto acelorate, try testing to see if you have a defected coil(even if they are brand new) How to test: remove one spark plug at a time and start the engine if there is a spark or crackling noise then that coil is good but if there is no spark then that coil is bad.

Why was WW1 different from wars that preceded it?

Military Tactics changed to "Trench Warfare" Alliance Systems were in place that pulled many nations to war The advent of the 'tank' in later stages of the war. Ariel dogfights were fought with bi-planes GRAND SCOPE Many nations involved England, Russia(end 1917) , France, Serbia, Ottoman Empire, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Canada, United States(start 1917) Fighting in India, African Samoa, Europe, Balkans, ALL OVER (truly a World War) The past wars before WW1, people fought it like it was some kind of honour. People volunteered for soldiers to fight and the war occurred only at the frontline. During WW1, with the leapt in military inventions, battles were concentrated on the civilians through the use of long-range artilleries and planes. WW1 to the people is like a nightmare compared to the preceding wars, to them, are like glory or some sort.
