Cannons are first documented in China during the 13th century, and were spread from there to the rest of the world. A cannon was discovered in Manchuria dating to the 1200s, and the earliest artistic depiction of a hand cannon is a firearm-wielding figure that was found in twelfth-century Sichuan. The earliest reliable evidence of cannons in Europe is account of the Moors using cannons in southern Iberia, during the siege of Cordoba.
In 1943, during the campaign in North Africa, Bradley made his mark while in command of II Corps, which he then led into Sicily.

On 1 August 1944 he was given command of the massive Twelfth Army Group which he took across France and into Germany, meeting up with Soviet forces on the Elbe.Gen. Omar Bradley was Ground Commander of all US forces in Europe after the D-Day landings.
Good question. Kentucky was one of the Border States - slave-states that had narrowly voted against joining the Confederacy, but clearly still at risk of doing so. Lincoln was so sensitive about this that he allowed Kentucky to stay neutral for the first year of the war. In 1862, the Confederates invaded the state, and their commander, Braxton Bragg, was able to set up a Southern government there. At this point, the Confederates sewed a twelfth star into their flag, representing Kentucky. However, this government collapsed as soon as Bragg retreated, and Kentucky finally, if reluctantly, declared for the Union.
None. By definition, the Border States were the slave-states that stayed out of the Confederacy. At one point, the Confederate General Braxton Bragg managed to invade Kentucky and set up a Confederate government there (and briefly, the regimental tailors were ordered to sew a twelfth star into the Stars and Bars), but it collapsed as soon as he retreated back across the state border.

The term samurai was initially used to mean Japan's noble heroes (bushi), however it came to apply to every one of the individuals from the country's champion class who rose to control in the twelfth century and ruled the Japanese government until the Meiji Restoration in 1868.
When Japan's political unity disintegrated during the twelfth century, the Daimyo, or warlords, controlled the country. The top of the feudal power structure in Japan during this period placed the Shogun at the top of the hierarchy, with the Daimyo directly beneath them. The Daimyo hired Samurai to control their lands, giving payment in land or food.
