Australia Gold Rush
Australian Gold Rush started in 1851 when Edward Hargraves found payable gold near Bathurst in New South Wales. Few months later, gold was also found in Ballarat and Bendigo in Victoria. In the late 1880s to mid 1890s, there were discoveries of gold fields in Western Australia which cause more gold rush in Australia. Because of those gold rushes, Australia's population grew from 400,000 to ove 1,000,000 during 1845 to 1896, and that is why Gold Rush is important for us. -

First successful telephone transmission
The first successful telephone transmissionof clear speech using a liquid transmitter was by Alexander Graham Bell. He spoke into the device "Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you.” and Watson heard each word clearly. Because Bell made this device, lots of things were now more easier for people. For example, when people got a appointment and they cannot attend, they could contect them without going to the place. It was really useful device so soldiers used it in the war too. -

World War 1 was unfair for German because he had to look out for West and East because there were enemies everywhere, so they plan to use submarine operation which was using U-boat submarine to shoot ships down and they shot down US's cruise ship and US wasn't in the war, so they declared war with German. Becasue of that, there was no chance that German could win so they surrendered. World War 1 was all about fight between Germanic people and Slavs.
