Titanic RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning of 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, UK, to New York City, US. The sinking resulted in the loss of more than 1,500 passengers and crew, making it one of the deadliest commercial peacetime maritime disasters in modern history. The RMS Titanic, the largest ship afloat at the time it entered service, was the second of three Olympic class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line, and was built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast with Thomas Andrews as her naval architect. Andrews was among those lost in the sinking. On her maiden voyage, she carried 2,224 passengers and crew. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/c5cFoRLeVZw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen> Watch this video and see how the titanic sunk.

Mona Lisa Mona Lisa recovered 100 years ago – More than 100 years ago, in August 1911, the Mona Lisa was stolen off the walls of the Louvre in Paris. The famous Leonardo da Vinci painting wasn't recovered until two years later, in December 1913. Guinness World Records lists the Mona Lisa as having the highest insurance value for a painting in history. On permanent display at The Louvre museum in Paris, the Mona Lisa was assessed at US$100 million on December 14, 1962. Taking inflation into account, the 1962 value would be around US$780 million in 2015.

Ernest Rutherford Ernest Rutherford was a major scientist. In 1911 Ernest Rutherford discovered the structure of the atom. Rutherford moved in 1907 to the Victoria University of Manchester (today University of Manchester) in the UK, where he and Thomas Royds proved that radiation is helium nuclei. Rutherford performed his most famous work after he became a Nobel laureate. In 1911, although he could not prove that it was positive or negative, he theorized that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus, and thereby pioneered the Rutherford model of the atom, through his discovery and interpretation of Rutherford scattering in his gold foil experiment. He is widely credited with first "splitting the atom" in 1917 in a nuclear reaction between nitrogen and alpha particles, in which he also discovered (and named) the proton.

Oreos were first introduced The world's best-selling cookies are celebrating their 100th birthday. On March 6, 1912, the National Biscuit Company (also known as Nabisco) sold its first Oreo sandwich cookies to a Hoboken grocer. Billions of dollars and many obscure varieties later, today Oreos remain an iconic snack-time staple. We twist them, we dunk them, we love them.

The world war 1 World War I, also known as the First World War or the Great War, was a global war centred in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. it all started from one country that thought it disserved more land the name was called Germany or the Nazis. The Nazis started off as a group of people who thought they need more land with there leader called Hitler. Hitler was amazing at architecture and public speaking. But only used his talent of speaking to per-sway the people to gain more land with him.

Parachutes were invented In 1914 parachutes were invented and now with parachutes invented a lot of dreams could come true.

The zip The zipper is an invention that has changed the world, it was invented in 1913, but we still use it today. In 1851 a man named Elias Howe created something like it called "an Automatic, Continuous clothing closure" which inspired the invention of the zipper. It was created by Gideon Sundback and Whitecomb Judson, but before it made its grand appearance in 1918, it went through many years of rejection. Inventor after inventor tried working on it, and slowly it made its way into production. The first few zippers usually wore out too quick or they came apart easily. In 1913 business was gradually moving up, but in 1914 Sundback improved his creation in design which caused sales to sky rocket. One of the first lined up to buy it was the US army, they needed zippers for their troops and their gear. Pretty cool right I though they were invented way before then!
