In 1898 the U.S. occupied Cuba during the Spanish-American War and gained Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines as territories by the Treaty of Paris. There was a spirit of adventure instilled in Americans and it was deepened in 1903 when the Wright Brothers flew the first airplane. Many of the…

The death of a stranger by fire in the first third becomes the destruction of Guy Montag own house in a second.

Today, Canada has a more stable economy then back in WW1, but how they got this stable…
