Decade of War: 1910-1919

The Most Important Event (1910-1919)


World War 1 (1914-1919).
A picture from www.diggerhistory.info. World War 1 was now known as the Great War. This is a World War 1 tank, it had already been damaged at the side. Tanks at that time isn't offensive, it's use for bulletproof and transportation. It carries troops into battlefields and made flanking alot easier. World War 1 started at 1914 and lasted at 1919. Germany and Russia were the two countries who started the world wars. They cooperated and invaded Europe, Many countries would attacked by them together at a time. The spliting of armies made each country hard to win wars. World war 1 brought the rise of communism in Russia, it changed from old Russian Empire into the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The war ended when Adolf Hitler took over Germany. I chose this because it was a World War and all nations were included.


The Russian Revolution (1917-1922)

Mona Lisa Stolen (1911)


A picture from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_Lisa"
It was told that August 21, 1911 was the date that Leonardo da Vinci's famous oil painting was stolen. It was stolen right off the wall of the Louvre ( A museum in France). Nobody even notice that the most famous painting in the museum was stolen until that next day. There weren't any evidence to be found on How?Why? about the theif. This oil painting was also called the "enigmatic smile", no human could redraw it again, because the smile was too realistic.
I chose this picture becuase I'm interested in art, and I agree that this picture is great.
