| Question: Why is coal important? Posted: 24 Jul 2016 07:23 AM PDT Coal is the fuel that is used in many power stations and steam trains all over the world. Coal is important because, if it did not exist, the Industrial Revolution in Europe could not have happened. Coal was used to fire the steel smelters that produced the steel and iron that was used to build bridges, roads, machines, dams, and ships. The use of coal has declined since the days of the Industrial Revolution in Europe, but it is still very much used in other countries. Bookbinder · 18 mins ago

| Question: How did France and Britain become allies? Posted: 24 Jul 2016 05:55 AM PDT The defeat of Napoleon left France broken, deliberately. Like many such major wars, that one left former allies facing off for the next big war. In the ruins of Europe, swept clean by Napoleon, Prussia built a new, powerful German state. France was stripped of many of its former assets, with them going to Germany, Austria, or Britain. Still others were liberated. So by WW1, France needed to rely on allies, such as Britain and Russia. |
| Posted: 24 Jul 2016 04:44 AM PDT If you look at Queen Victoria's letters (many of which are online in various places such as Project Gutenberg), you'll see that she addressed kings of other countries as "Sir, My Brother" (implying that they were of equal rank, which they were). This was a metaphor; they weren't really her brothers. But of course many European monarchs are actually related to each other as family members, and in that case she would address them as "My Dearest Uncle," etc. And this is just a bit after the time period you're asking about, but King George V of England and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, who were cousins, addressed each other as "Willy" and "Nicky". |
| Question: If I were a Spanish Pirate in the Caribbean? Posted: 24 Jul 2016 01:51 AM PDT Generally pirates preyed on small fishing boats for food, basics, repair kit. Small merchants with small crews were next - grab the money, kidnap anyone decently dressed. Dirty, rapist, murderers, alcoholic thugs. They stole from the poor mostly because it was easier and safer. |

He was well-known for his socialist free-love living style and had a lot of followers. Had he been executed, he might have become a martyr just as Hitler turned out to be as neo-Nazi groups sprang up. When Rudolf Hess died in 1987, they immediately tore down Spandau Prison to prevent such neo-Nazi groups from taking pilgrimages to the site and pay their respects to the memory of Hitler's second-in-command. |
