Since the time of Constantine, Christians had gone on pilgrimages to the Holy Land. Even though Moslems had ruled Jerusalem since 638, Christians were still allowed to visit the city. By the 11th century, however, the situation had changed. Just as the number and frequency of pilgrimages to Jerusalem was at new peaks, the Seljuk Turks took over control of Jerusalem and prevented pilgrimages.

The Lusitania was sunk near Kinsale, Ireland in the Celtic Sea, an area of the Atlantic Ocean south of Ireland. It was sunk on May 7, 1915 by the German submarine U-20.

There life was tireing as many people could not afford education, so children as young as 6-7 were sent to work in the factories to earn money for their family's. They would have to work from dawn till dusk everyday except a Sunday and many would die from terrible diseses.

Workers' Compensation was an insurance fund financed by employers.

the treaty were only signed in the interest of the victorious country the allies the defeated country have no say in the drawing up of the aggreaments.

In the 1910s, people used carriages pulled by horses. If possible they'd walk or ride a bicycle. It was around this time that cars were being invented, but they were relatively uncommon and only the rich could afford such luxuries as cars.

France got involved because France and Russia had a treaty of alliance. Serbia was an independent country, and the Serbian intelligence service backed an organization of Serbian nationalists called The Black Hand. The Black Hand assassinated the heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and his wife. The Austrians were furious and made very harsh demands of Serbia. Russia had no treaty with Serbia but historically the Russians had considered Russia to be the "mother of the Slavs". So though not obligated to do so, the Russians decided to intervene and take Serbia's part. Had the Russians not intervened, it would have remained a dispute between Serbia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Since Russia meddled, and Russia was the largest European nation, with the biggest army, the Hapsburg rulers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire called on their ally, the Germans, for assistance. The alliance between France and Russia was aimed at Germany. Since the Franco-Russian alliance Germany knew that war with either France or Russia meant war with both. The German army had planned for what to do if Germany got into such a two-front war. They developed a plan which called for beating France quickly, before Russia could get fully mobilized. After France was defeated, Germany could turn its entire attention to Russia. So with war now imminent with Russia, the Germans attacked France.

As part of the plan to beat France quickly, the Germans had decided to invade France by going through neutral Belgium. This would allow the Germans to go around the French border defenses. But Germany and three other great powers were bound by an 1837 Treaty to perpetually respect and defend Belgian neutrality. Nevertheless, in 1914 the Germans invaded Belgium, on the way to France, because they were about to go to war with Russia. Great Britain was another party to the 1837 treaty guaranteeing Belgian neutrality. When German troops crossed the border into Belgium the British demanded that the Germans stop the invasion and withdraw from Belgium. The German foreign minister scornfully denounced the 1837 treaty as "a scrap of paper". So Britain went to war over the German violation of Belgian neutrality, as obligated to do so under the treaty.

AAOCL stands for Anglo-American Oil Company Ltd. My great uncle was awarded one of these long service badges. A yellow-metal lapel stud badge in the form of a six-point star with a small diamond at the top. It is inscribed on the back with his name and 'May 1928', the year that he joined the company.

1913 (2013)

Very hard. It had only been 67 years since they were given citizenship after the Civil War. Many were former slaves and had lived through the Civil War. Discrimination was still very much around. Black children couldn't go to the same schools as white, couldn't go to the public swimming pool, or to play in playgrounds. Adults couldn't eat in the same places as white nor still not vote in elections ( there were laws passed to prevent them from voting). Most Black residents of a city/town were forced to live in a separate section of the city/town ( along with other ethnic groups). Jobs were also hard to come by beyond a certain level and getting into a college was impossible for a black young man ( a woman wouldn't have a chance to enroll). There were no heads of major businesses that were black and a few business owners.

Between 1910 and 1920 people wore clothing that was durable and serviceable. The evening gown had gone out of fashion and was replaced by shorter hemlines and fringe or tassels. A high waist and loose or flowing dresses became more popular while men wore smoking jackets or evening coats with wide lapels.
