what is the advantage of enclosing dna material in the nucleus
[ "a site for genetic transcription that is segregated from the location of translation in the cytoplasm, allowing levels of gene regulation that are not available to prokaryotes" ]
{ "0": "Cell nucleus - wikipedia Cell nucleus Jump to : navigation , search HeLa cells stained for nuclear DNA with the Blue Hoechst dye . The central and rightmost cell are in interphase , thus their entire nuclei are labeled . On the left , a cell is going through mitosis and its DNA has condensed . Cell biology The animal cell Components of a typical animal cell : Nucleolus Nucleus Ribosome ( little dots ) Vesicle Rough endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus ( or `` Golgi body '' ) Cytoskeleton Smooth endoplasmic reticulum Mitochondrion Vacuole Cytosol ( fluid that contains organelles , comprising the cytoplasm ) Lysosome Centrosome Cell membrane In cell biology , the nucleus ( pl . nuclei ; from Latin nucleus or nuculeus , meaning kernel or seed ) is a membrane - enclosed organelle found in eukaryotic cells . Eukaryotes usually have a single nucleus , but a few cell types , such as mammalian red blood cells , have no nuclei , and a few others have many . Human skeletal muscle cells have more than one nucleus , as do eukaryotes like fungi . Cell nuclei contain most of the cell 's genetic material , organized as multiple long linear DNA molecules in complex with a large variety of proteins , such as histones , to form chromosomes . The genes within these chromosomes are the cell 's nuclear genome and are structured in such a way to promote cell function . The nucleus maintains the integrity of genes and controls the activities of the cell by regulating gene expression -- the nucleus is , therefore , the control center of the cell . The main structures making up the nucleus are the nuclear envelope , a double membrane that encloses the entire organelle and isolates its contents from the cellular cytoplasm , and the nuclear matrix ( which includes the nuclear lamina ) , a network within the nucleus that adds mechanical support , much like the cytoskeleton , which supports the cell as a whole . Because the nuclear membrane is impermeable to large molecules , nuclear pores are required to regulate nuclear transport of molecules across the envelope .", "1": "The pores cross both nuclear membranes , providing a channel through which larger molecules must be actively transported by carrier proteins while allowing free movement of small molecules and ions . Movement of large molecules such as proteins and RNA through the pores is required for both gene expression and the maintenance of chromosomes . Although the interior of the nucleus does not contain any membrane - bound sub compartments , its contents are not uniform , and a number of sub-nuclear bodies exist , made up of unique proteins , RNA molecules , and particular parts of the chromosomes . The best - known of these is the nucleolus , which is mainly involved in the assembly of ribosomes . After being produced in the nucleolus , ribosomes are exported to the cytoplasm where they translate mRNA .

The nucleus contains Polytene chromosomes . The nucleus was the first organelle to be discovered .", "2": "What is most likely the oldest preserved drawing dates back to the early microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek ( 1632 -- 1723 ) . He observed a `` lumen '' , the nucleus , in the red blood cells of salmon . Unlike mammalian red blood cells , those of other vertebrates still contain nuclei . The nucleus was also described by Franz Bauer in 1804 and in more detail in 1831 by Scottish botanist Robert Brown in a talk at the Linnean Society of London . Brown was studying orchids under microscope when he observed an opaque area , which he called the `` areola '' or `` nucleus '' , in the cells of the flower 's outer layer . He did not suggest a potential function . In 1838 , Matthias Schleiden proposed that the nucleus plays a role in generating cells , thus he introduced the name `` cytoblast '' ( cell builder ) . He believed that he had observed new cells assembling around `` cytoblasts '' . Franz Meyen was a strong opponent of this view , having already described cells multiplying by division and believing that many cells would have no nuclei . The idea that cells can be generated de novo , by the `` cytoblast '' or otherwise , contradicted work by Robert Remak ( 1852 ) and Rudolf Virchow ( 1855 ) who decisively propagated the new paradigm that cells are generated solely by cells ( `` Omnis cellula e cellula '' ) . The function of the nucleus remained unclear . Between 1877 and 1878 , Oscar Hertwig published several studies on the fertilization of sea urchin eggs , showing that the nucleus of the sperm enters the oocyte and fuses with its nucleus . This was the first time it was suggested that an individual develops from a ( single ) nucleated cell . This was in contradiction to Ernst Haeckel 's theory that the complete phylogeny of a species would be repeated during embryonic development , including generation of the first nucleated cell from a `` monerula '' , a structureless mass of primordial mucus ( `` Urschleim '' ) . Therefore , the necessity of the sperm nucleus for fertilization was discussed for quite some time . However , Hertwig confirmed his observation in other animal groups , including amphibians and molluscs .", "3": "Eduard Strasburger produced the same results for plants in 1884 . This paved the way to assign the nucleus an important role in heredity . In 1873 , August Weismann postulated the equivalence of the maternal and paternal germ cells for heredity . The function of the nucleus as carrier of genetic information became clear only later , after mitosis was discovered and the Mendelian rules were rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century ; the chromosome theory of heredity was therefore developed . Structures The nucleus is the largest cellular organelle in animal cells . In mammalian cells , the average diameter of the nucleus is approximately 6 micrometres ( μm ) , which occupies about 10 % of the total cell volume . The viscous liquid within it is called nucleoplasm ( or karyolymph ) , and is similar in composition to the cytosol found outside the nucleus . It appears as a dense , roughly spherical or irregular organelle . The composition by dry weight of the nucleus is approximately : DNA 9 % , RNA 1 % , Histone Protein 11 % , Residual Protein 14 % , Acidic Proteins 65 % . Nuclear envelope and pores Main articles : Nuclear envelope and Nuclear pores The eukaryotic cell nucleus . Visible in this diagram are the ribosome - studded double membranes of the nuclear envelope , the DNA ( complexed as chromatin ) , and the nucleolus . Within the cell nucleus is a viscous liquid called nucleoplasm , similar to the cytoplasm found outside the nucleus . A cross section of a nuclear pore on the surface of the nuclear envelope ( 1 ) . Other diagram labels show ( 2 ) the outer ring , ( 3 ) spokes , ( 4 ) basket , and ( 5 ) filaments . The nuclear envelope , otherwise known as nuclear membrane , consists of two cellular membranes , an inner and an outer membrane , arranged parallel to one another and separated by 10 to 50 nanometres ( nm ) . The nuclear envelope completely encloses the nucleus and separates the cell 's genetic material from the surrounding cytoplasm , serving as a barrier to prevent macromolecules from diffusing freely between the nucleoplasm and the cytoplasm .", "4": "The outer nuclear membrane is continuous with the membrane of the rough endoplasmic reticulum ( RER ) , and is similarly studded with ribosomes . The space between the membranes is called the perinuclear space and is continuous with the RER lumen . Nuclear pores , which provide aqueous channels through the envelope , are composed of multiple proteins , collectively referred to as nucleoporins . The pores are about 125 million daltons in molecular weight and consist of around 50 ( in yeast ) to several hundred proteins ( in vertebrates ) . The pores are 100 nm in total diameter ; however , the gap through which molecules freely diffuse is only about 9 nm wide , due to the presence of regulatory systems within the center of the pore . This size selectively allows the passage of small water - soluble molecules while preventing larger molecules , such as nucleic acids and larger proteins , from inappropriately entering or exiting the nucleus . These large molecules must be actively transported into the nucleus instead . The nucleus of a typical mammalian cell will have about 3000 to 4000 pores throughout its envelope , each of which contains an eightfold - symmetric ring - shaped structure at a position where the inner and outer membranes fuse . Attached to the ring is a structure called the nuclear basket that extends into the nucleoplasm , and a series of filamentous extensions that reach into the cytoplasm . Both structures serve to mediate binding to nuclear transport proteins . Most proteins , ribosomal subunits , and some DNAs are transported through the pore complexes in a process mediated by a family of transport factors known as karyopherins . Those karyopherins that mediate movement into the nucleus are also called importins , whereas those that mediate movement out of the nucleus are called exportins . Most karyopherins interact directly with their cargo , although some use adaptor proteins . Steroid hormones such as cortisol and aldosterone , as well as other small lipid - soluble molecules involved in intercellular signaling , can diffuse through the cell membrane and into the cytoplasm , where they bind nuclear receptor proteins that are trafficked into the nucleus . There they serve as transcription factors when bound to their ligand ; in the absence of a ligand , many such receptors function as histone deacetylases that repress gene expression .", "5": "Nuclear lamina Main article : Nuclear lamina In animal cells , two networks of intermediate filaments provide the nucleus with mechanical support : The nuclear lamina forms an organized meshwork on the internal face of the envelope , while less organized support is provided on the cytosolic face of the envelope . Both systems provide structural support for the nuclear envelope and anchoring sites for chromosomes and nuclear pores . The nuclear lamina is composed mostly of lamin proteins . Like all proteins , lamins are synthesized in the cytoplasm and later transported to the nucleus interior , where they are assembled before being incorporated into the existing network of nuclear lamina . Lamins found on the cytosolic face of the membrane , such as emerin and nesprin , bind to the cytoskeleton to provide structural support . Lamins are also found inside the nucleoplasm where they form another regular structure , known as the nucleoplasmic veil , that is visible using fluorescence microscopy . The actual function of the veil is not clear , although it is excluded from the nucleolus and is present during interphase . Lamin structures that make up the veil , such as LEM3 , bind chromatin and disrupting their structure inhibits transcription of protein - coding genes . Like the components of other intermediate filaments , the lamin monomer contains an alpha - helical domain used by two monomers to coil around each other , forming a dimer structure called a coiled coil . Two of these dimer structures then join side by side , in an antiparallel arrangement , to form a tetramer called a protofilament . Eight of these protofilaments form a lateral arrangement that is twisted to form a ropelike filament . These filaments can be assembled or disassembled in a dynamic manner , meaning that changes in the length of the filament depend on the competing rates of filament addition and removal . Mutations in lamin genes leading to defects in filament assembly cause a group of rare genetic disorders known as laminopathies . The most notable laminopathy is the family of diseases known as progeria , which causes the appearance of premature aging in its sufferers . The exact mechanism by which the associated biochemical changes give rise to the aged phenotype is not well understood . Chromosomes Main article : Chromosome A mouse fibroblast nucleus in which DNA is stained blue .", "6": "The distinct chromosome territories of chromosome 2 ( red ) and chromosome 9 ( green ) are stained with fluorescent in situ hybridization . The cell nucleus contains the majority of the cell 's genetic material in the form of multiple linear DNA molecules organized into structures called chromosomes . Each human cell contains roughly two meters of DNA . During most of the cell cycle these are organized in a DNA - protein complex known as chromatin , and during cell division the chromatin can be seen to form the well - defined chromosomes familiar from a karyotype . A small fraction of the cell 's genes are located instead in the mitochondria . There are two types of chromatin . Euchromatin is the less compact DNA form , and contains genes that are frequently expressed by the cell . The other type , heterochromatin , is the more compact form , and contains DNA that is infrequently transcribed . This structure is further categorized into facultative heterochromatin , consisting of genes that are organized as heterochromatin only in certain cell types or at certain stages of development , and constitutive heterochromatin that consists of chromosome structural components such as telomeres and centromeres . During interphase the chromatin organizes itself into discrete individual patches , called chromosome territories . Active genes , which are generally found in the euchromatic region of the chromosome , tend to be located towards the chromosome 's territory boundary . Antibodies to certain types of chromatin organization , in particular , nucleosomes , have been associated with a number of autoimmune diseases , such as systemic lupus erythematosus . These are known as anti-nuclear antibodies ( ANA ) and have also been observed in concert with multiple sclerosis as part of general immune system dysfunction . As in the case of progeria , the role played by the antibodies in inducing the symptoms of autoimmune diseases is not obvious . Nucleolus Main article : Nucleolus An electron micrograph of a cell nucleus , showing the darkly stained nucleolus 3D rendering of nucleus with location of nucleolus The nucleolus is a discrete densely stained structure found in the nucleus . It is not surrounded by a membrane , and is sometimes called a suborganelle . It forms around tandem repeats of rDNA , DNA coding for ribosomal RNA ( rRNA ) .", "7": "These regions are called nucleolar organizer regions ( NOR ) . The main roles of the nucleolus are to synthesize rRNA and assemble ribosomes . The structural cohesion of the nucleolus depends on its activity , as ribosomal assembly in the nucleolus results in the transient association of nucleolar components , facilitating further ribosomal assembly , and hence further association . This model is supported by observations that inactivation of rDNA results in intermingling of nucleolar structures . In the first step of ribosome assembly , a protein called RNA polymerase I transcribes rDNA , which forms a large pre-rRNA precursor . This is cleaved into the subunits 5.8 S , 18S , and 28S rRNA . The transcription , post-transcriptional processing , and assembly of rRNA occurs in the nucleolus , aided by small nucleolar RNA ( snoRNA ) molecules , some of which are derived from spliced introns from messenger RNAs encoding genes related to ribosomal function . The assembled ribosomal subunits are the largest structures passed through the nuclear pores . When observed under the electron microscope , the nucleolus can be seen to consist of three distinguishable regions : the innermost fibrillar centers ( FCs ) , surrounded by the dense fibrillar component ( DFC ) , which in turn is bordered by the granular component ( GC ) . Transcription of the rDNA occurs either in the FC or at the FC - DFC boundary , and , therefore , when rDNA transcription in the cell is increased , more FCs are detected . Most of the cleavage and modification of rRNAs occurs in the DFC , while the latter steps involving protein assembly onto the ribosomal subunits occur in the GC . Other subnuclear bodies Subnuclear structure sizes Structure name Structure diameter Cajal bodies 0.2 -- 2.0 μm Clastosomes 0.2 - 0.5 μm PIKA 5 μm PML bodies 0.2 -- 1.0 μm Paraspeckles 0.2 -- 1.0 μm Speckles 20 -- 25 nm Besides the nucleolus , the nucleus contains a number of other non-membrane - delineated bodies .", "8": "These include Cajal bodies , Gemini of coiled bodies , polymorphic interphase karyosomal association ( PIKA ) , promyelocytic leukaemia ( PML ) bodies , paraspeckles , and splicing speckles . Although little is known about a number of these domains , they are significant in that they show that the nucleoplasm is not a uniform mixture , but rather contains organized functional subdomains . Other subnuclear structures appear as part of abnormal disease processes . For example , the presence of small intranuclear rods has been reported in some cases of nemaline myopathy . This condition typically results from mutations in actin , and the rods themselves consist of mutant actin as well as other cytoskeletal proteins . Cajal bodies and gems A nucleus typically contains between 1 and 10 compact structures called Cajal bodies or coiled bodies ( CB ) , whose diameter measures between 0.2 μm and 2.0 μm depending on the cell type and species . When seen under an electron microscope , they resemble balls of tangled thread and are dense foci of distribution for the protein coilin . CBs are involved in a number of different roles relating to RNA processing , specifically small nucleolar RNA ( snoRNA ) and small nuclear RNA ( snRNA ) maturation , and histone mRNA modification . Similar to Cajal bodies are Gemini of Cajal bodies , or gems , whose name is derived from the Gemini constellation in reference to their close `` twin '' relationship with CBs . Gems are similar in size and shape to CBs , and in fact are virtually indistinguishable under the microscope . Unlike CBs , gems do not contain small nuclear ribonucleoproteins ( snRNPs ) , but do contain a protein called survival of motor neuron ( SMN ) whose function relates to snRNP biogenesis . Gems are believed to assist CBs in snRNP biogenesis , though it has also been suggested from microscopy evidence that CBs and gems are different manifestations of the same structure . Later ultrastructural studies have shown gems to be twins of Cajal bodies with the difference being in the coilin component ; Cajal bodies are SMN positive and coilin positive , and gems are SMN positive and coilin negative .", "9": "Rafa and PTF domains RAFA domains , or polymorphic interphase karyosomal associations , were first described in microscopy studies in 1991 . Their function remains unclear , though they were not thought to be associated with active DNA replication , transcription , or RNA processing . They have been found to often associate with discrete domains defined by dense localization of the transcription factor PTF , which promotes transcription of small nuclear RNA ( snRNA ) . PML bodies Promyelocytic leukaemia bodies ( PML bodies ) are spherical bodies found scattered throughout the nucleoplasm , measuring around 0.1 -- 1.0 μm . They are known by a number of other names , including nuclear domain 10 ( ND10 ) , Kremer bodies , and PML oncogenic domains . PML bodies are named after one of their major components , the promyelocytic leukemia protein ( PML ) . They are often seen in the nucleus in association with Cajal bodies and cleavage bodies . PML bodies belong to the nuclear matrix , an ill - defined super-structure of the nucleus proposed to anchor and regulate many nuclear functions , including DNA replication , transcription , or epigenetic silencing . The PML protein is the key organizer of these domains that recruits an ever - growing number of proteins , whose only common known feature to date is their ability to be SUMOylated . Yet , pml - / - mice ( which have their PML gene deleted ) can not assemble nuclear bodies , develop normally and live well , demonstrating that PML bodies are dispensable for most basic biological functions . Splicing speckles Speckles are subnuclear structures that are enriched in pre-messenger RNA splicing factors and are located in the interchromatin regions of the nucleoplasm of mammalian cells . At the fluorescence - microscope level they appear as irregular , punctate structures , which vary in size and shape , and when examined by electron microscopy they are seen as clusters of interchromatin granules . Speckles are dynamic structures , and both their protein and RNA - protein components can cycle continuously between speckles and other nuclear locations , including active transcription sites .", "10": "Studies on the composition , structure and behaviour of speckles have provided a model for understanding the functional compartmentalization of the nucleus and the organization of the gene - expression machinery splicing snRNPs and other splicing proteins necessary for pre-mRNA processing . Because of a cell 's changing requirements , the composition and location of these bodies changes according to mRNA transcription and regulation via phosphorylation of specific proteins . The splicing speckles are also known as nuclear speckles ( nuclear specks ) , splicing factor compartments ( SF compartments ) , interchromatin granule clusters ( IGCs ) , B snurposomes . B snurposomes are found in the amphibian oocyte nuclei and in Drosophila melanogaster embryos . B snurposomes appear alone or attached to the Cajal bodies in the electron micrographs of the amphibian nuclei . IGCs function as storage sites for the splicing factors . Paraspeckles Main article : Paraspeckle Discovered by Fox et al. in 2002 , paraspeckles are irregularly shaped compartments in the nucleus ' interchromatin space . First documented in HeLa cells , where there are generally 10 -- 30 per nucleus , paraspeckles are now known to also exist in all human primary cells , transformed cell lines , and tissue sections . Their name is derived from their distribution in the nucleus ; the `` para '' is short for parallel and the `` speckles '' refers to the splicing speckles to which they are always in close proximity . Paraspeckles are dynamic structures that are altered in response to changes in cellular metabolic activity . They are transcription dependent and in the absence of RNA Pol II transcription , the paraspeckle disappears and all of its associated protein components ( PSP1 , p54nrb , PSP2 , CFI ( m ) 68 , and PSF ) form a crescent shaped perinucleolar cap in the nucleolus . This phenomenon is demonstrated during the cell cycle . In the cell cycle , paraspeckles are present during interphase and during all of mitosis except for telophase . During telophase , when the two daughter nuclei are formed , there is no RNA Pol II transcription so the protein components instead form a perinucleolar cap .", "11": "Perichromatin fibrils Perichromatin fibrils are visible only under electron microscope . They are located next to the transcriptionally active chromatin and are hypothesized to be the sites of active pre-mRNA processing . Clastosome Clastosomes are small nuclear bodies ( 0.2 - 0.5 μm ) described as donut - shaped due to the peripheral capsule around these bodies . This name is derived from the Greek klastos , broken and soma , body . Clastosomes are not typically present in normal cells , making them hard to detect . They form under high proteolysis conditions within the nucleus and degrade once there is a decrease in activity or if cells are treated with proteasome inhibitors . The scarcity of clastosomes in cells indicates that they are not required for proteasome function . Osmotic stress has also been shown to cause the formation of clastosomes . These nuclear bodies contain catalytic and regulatory sub-units of the proteasome and its substrates , indicating that clastosomes are sites for degrading proteins . The Clastosome would be an important addition to the ' Cell Nucleus ' Wiki page because it plays a role in cell function . With further research , we may discover that this nuclear body has a more influential job in cell function than what is already known . Function The nucleus provides a site for genetic transcription that is segregated from the location of translation in the cytoplasm , allowing levels of gene regulation that are not available to prokaryotes . The main function of the cell nucleus is to control gene expression and mediate the replication of DNA during the cell cycle . The nucleus is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells . Inside its fully enclosed nuclear membrane , it contains the majority of the cell 's genetic material . This material is organized as DNA molecules , along with a variety of proteins , to form chromosomes . Cell compartmentalization The nuclear envelope allows the nucleus to control its contents , and separate them from the rest of the cytoplasm where necessary . This is important for controlling processes on either side of the nuclear membrane . In most cases where a cytoplasmic process needs to be restricted , a key participant is removed to the nucleus , where it interacts with transcription factors to downregulate the production of certain enzymes in the pathway .", "12": "This regulatory mechanism occurs in the case of glycolysis , a cellular pathway for breaking down glucose to produce energy . Hexokinase is an enzyme responsible for the first the step of glycolysis , forming glucose - 6 - phosphate from glucose . At high concentrations of fructose - 6 - phosphate , a molecule made later from glucose - 6 - phosphate , a regulator protein removes hexokinase to the nucleus , where it forms a transcriptional repressor complex with nuclear proteins to reduce the expression of genes involved in glycolysis . In order to control which genes are being transcribed , the cell separates some transcription factor proteins responsible for regulating gene expression from physical access to the DNA until they are activated by other signaling pathways . This prevents even low levels of inappropriate gene expression . For example , in the case of NF - κB - controlled genes , which are involved in most inflammatory responses , transcription is induced in response to a signal pathway such as that initiated by the signaling molecule TNF - α , binds to a cell membrane receptor , resulting in the recruitment of signalling proteins , and eventually activating the transcription factor NF - κB . A nuclear localisation signal on the NF - κB protein allows it to be transported through the nuclear pore and into the nucleus , where it stimulates the transcription of the target genes . The compartmentalization allows the cell to prevent translation of unspliced mRNA . Eukaryotic mRNA contains introns that must be removed before being translated to produce functional proteins . The splicing is done inside the nucleus before the mRNA can be accessed by ribosomes for translation . Without the nucleus , ribosomes would translate newly transcribed ( unprocessed ) mRNA , resulting in malformed and nonfunctional proteins . Gene expression Main article : Gene expression A micrograph of ongoing gene transcription of ribosomal RNA illustrating the growing primary transcripts . `` Begin '' indicates the 5 ' end of the DNA , where new RNA synthesis begins ; `` end '' indicates the 3 ' end , where the primary transcripts are almost complete . Gene expression first involves transcription , in which DNA is used as a template to produce RNA . In the case of genes encoding proteins , that RNA produced from this process is messenger RNA ( mRNA ) , which then needs to be translated by ribosomes to form a protein . As ribosomes are located outside the nucleus , mRNA produced needs to be exported .", "13": "Since the nucleus is the site of transcription , it also contains a variety of proteins that either directly mediate transcription or are involved in regulating the process . These proteins include helicases , which unwind the double - stranded DNA molecule to facilitate access to it , RNA polymerases , which bind to the DNA promoter to synthesize the growing RNA molecule , topoisomerases , which change the amount of supercoiling in DNA , helping it wind and unwind , as well as a large variety of transcription factors that regulate expression . Processing of pre-mRNA Main article : Post-transcriptional modification Newly synthesized mRNA molecules are known as primary transcripts or pre-mRNA . They must undergo post-transcriptional modification in the nucleus before being exported to the cytoplasm ; mRNA that appears in the cytoplasm without these modifications is degraded rather than used for protein translation . The three main modifications are 5 ' capping , 3 ' polyadenylation , and RNA splicing . While in the nucleus , pre-mRNA is associated with a variety of proteins in complexes known as heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein particles ( hnRNPs ) . Addition of the 5 ' cap occurs co-transcriptionally and is the first step in post-transcriptional modification . The 3 ' poly - adenine tail is only added after transcription is complete . RNA splicing , carried out by a complex called the spliceosome , is the process by which introns , or regions of DNA that do not code for protein , are removed from the pre-mRNA and the remaining exons connected to re-form a single continuous molecule . This process normally occurs after 5 ' capping and 3 ' polyadenylation but can begin before synthesis is complete in transcripts with many exons . Many pre-mRNAs , including those encoding antibodies , can be spliced in multiple ways to produce different mature mRNAs that encode different protein sequences . This process is known as alternative splicing , and allows production of a large variety of proteins from a limited amount of DNA . Dynamics and regulation Nuclear transport Main article : Nuclear transport Macromolecules , such as RNA and proteins , are actively transported across the nuclear membrane in a process called the Ran - GTP nuclear transport cycle . The entry and exit of large molecules from the nucleus is tightly controlled by the nuclear pore complexes .", "14": "Although small molecules can enter the nucleus without regulation , macromolecules such as RNA and proteins require association karyopherins called importins to enter the nucleus and exportins to exit . `` Cargo '' proteins that must be translocated from the cytoplasm to the nucleus contain short amino acid sequences known as nuclear localization signals , which are bound by importins , while those transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm carry nuclear export signals bound by exportins . The ability of importins and exportins to transport their cargo is regulated by GTPases , enzymes that hydrolyze the molecule guanosine triphosphate to release energy . The key GTPase in nuclear transport is Ran , which can bind either GTP or GDP ( guanosine diphosphate ) , depending on whether it is located in the nucleus or the cytoplasm . Whereas importins depend on RanGTP to dissociate from their cargo , exportins require RanGTP in order to bind to their cargo . Nuclear import depends on the importin binding its cargo in the cytoplasm and carrying it through the nuclear pore into the nucleus . Inside the nucleus , RanGTP acts to separate the cargo from the importin , allowing the importin to exit the nucleus and be reused . Nuclear export is similar , as the exportin binds the cargo inside the nucleus in a process facilitated by RanGTP , exits through the nuclear pore , and separates from its cargo in the cytoplasm . Specialized export proteins exist for translocation of mature mRNA and tRNA to the cytoplasm after post-transcriptional modification is complete . This quality - control mechanism is important due to these molecules ' central role in protein translation . Mis - expression of a protein due to incomplete excision of exons or mis - incorporation of amino acids could have negative consequences for the cell ; thus , incompletely modified RNA that reaches the cytoplasm is degraded rather than used in translation . Assembly and disassembly An image of a newt lung cell stained with fluorescent dyes during metaphase . The mitotic spindle can be seen , stained green , attached to the two sets of chromosomes , stained light blue . All chromosomes but one are already at the metaphase plate .", "15": "During its lifetime , a nucleus may be broken down or destroyed , either in the process of cell division or as a consequence of apoptosis ( the process of programmed cell death ) . During these events , the structural components of the nucleus -- the envelope and lamina -- can be systematically degraded . In most cells , the disassembly of the nuclear envelope marks the end of the prophase of mitosis . However , this disassembly of the nucleus is not a universal feature of mitosis and does not occur in all cells . Some unicellular eukaryotes ( e.g. , yeasts ) undergo so - called closed mitosis , in which the nuclear envelope remains intact . In closed mitosis , the daughter chromosomes migrate to opposite poles of the nucleus , which then divides in two . The cells of higher eukaryotes , however , usually undergo open mitosis , which is characterized by breakdown of the nuclear envelope . The daughter chromosomes then migrate to opposite poles of the mitotic spindle , and new nuclei reassemble around them . At a certain point during the cell cycle in open mitosis , the cell divides to form two cells . In order for this process to be possible , each of the new daughter cells must have a full set of genes , a process requiring replication of the chromosomes as well as segregation of the separate sets . This occurs by the replicated chromosomes , the sister chromatids , attaching to microtubules , which in turn are attached to different centrosomes . The sister chromatids can then be pulled to separate locations in the cell . In many cells , the centrosome is located in the cytoplasm , outside the nucleus ; the microtubules would be unable to attach to the chromatids in the presence of the nuclear envelope . Therefore , the early stages in the cell cycle , beginning in prophase and until around prometaphase , the nuclear membrane is dismantled . Likewise , during the same period , the nuclear lamina is also disassembled , a process regulated by phosphorylation of the lamins by protein kinases such as the CDC2 protein kinase . Towards the end of the cell cycle , the nuclear membrane is reformed , and around the same time , the nuclear lamina are reassembled by dephosphorylating the lamins .", "16": "However , in dinoflagellates , the nuclear envelope remains intact , the centrosomes are located in the cytoplasm , and the microtubules come in contact with chromosomes , whose centromeric regions are incorporated into the nuclear envelope ( the so - called closed mitosis with extranuclear spindle ) . In many other protists ( e.g. , ciliates , sporozoans ) and fungi , the centrosomes are intranuclear , and their nuclear envelope also does not disassemble during cell division . Apoptosis is a controlled process in which the cell 's structural components are destroyed , resulting in death of the cell . Changes associated with apoptosis directly affect the nucleus and its contents , for example , in the condensation of chromatin and the disintegration of the nuclear envelope and lamina . The destruction of the lamin networks is controlled by specialized apoptotic proteases called caspases , which cleave the lamin proteins and , thus , degrade the nucleus ' structural integrity . Lamin cleavage is sometimes used as a laboratory indicator of caspase activity in assays for early apoptotic activity . Cells that express mutant caspase - resistant lamins are deficient in nuclear changes related to apoptosis , suggesting that lamins play a role in initiating the events that lead to apoptotic degradation of the nucleus . Inhibition of lamin assembly itself is an inducer of apoptosis . The nuclear envelope acts as a barrier that prevents both DNA and RNA viruses from entering the nucleus . Some viruses require access to proteins inside the nucleus in order to replicate and / or assemble . DNA viruses , such as herpesvirus replicate and assemble in the cell nucleus , and exit by budding through the inner nuclear membrane . This process is accompanied by disassembly of the lamina on the nuclear face of the inner membrane . Disease - related dynamics Initially , it has been suspected that immunoglobulins in general and autoantibodies in particular do not enter the nucleus . Now there is a body of evidence that under pathological conditions ( e.g. lupus erythematosus ) IgG can enter the nucleus . Nuclei per cell Most eukaryotic cell types usually have a single nucleus , but some have no nuclei , while others have several . This can result from normal development , as in the maturation of mammalian red blood cells , or from faulty cell division .", "17": "Anucleated cells Human red blood cells , like those of other mammals , lack nuclei . This occurs as a normal part of the cells ' development . An anucleated cell contains no nucleus and is , therefore , incapable of dividing to produce daughter cells . The best - known anucleated cell is the mammalian red blood cell , or erythrocyte , which also lacks other organelles such as mitochondria , and serves primarily as a transport vessel to ferry oxygen from the lungs to the body 's tissues . Erythrocytes mature through erythropoiesis in the bone marrow , where they lose their nuclei , organelles , and ribosomes . The nucleus is expelled during the process of differentiation from an erythroblast to a reticulocyte , which is the immediate precursor of the mature erythrocyte . The presence of mutagens may induce the release of some immature `` micronucleated '' erythrocytes into the bloodstream . Anucleated cells can also arise from flawed cell division in which one daughter lacks a nucleus and the other has two nuclei . In flowering plants , this condition occurs in sieve tube elements . Multinucleated cells Multinucleated cells contain multiple nuclei . Most acantharean species of protozoa and some fungi in mycorrhizae have naturally multinucleated cells . Other examples include the intestinal parasites in the genus Giardia , which have two nuclei per cell . In humans , skeletal muscle cells , called myocytes and syncytium , become multinucleated during development ; the resulting arrangement of nuclei near the periphery of the cells allows maximal intracellular space for myofibrils . Multinucleated and binucleated cells can also be abnormal in humans ; for example , cells arising from the fusion of monocytes and macrophages , known as giant multinucleated cells , sometimes accompany inflammation and are also implicated in tumor formation . A number of dinoflagellates are known to have two nuclei . Unlike other multinucleated cells these nuclei contain two distinct lineages of DNA : one from the dinoflagellate and the other from a symbiotic diatom . The mitochondria and the plastids of the diatom somehow remain functional .", "18": "Evolution As the major defining characteristic of the eukaryotic cell , the nucleus ' evolutionary origin has been the subject of much speculation . Four major hypotheses have been proposed to explain the existence of the nucleus , although none have yet earned widespread support . The first model known as the `` syntrophic model '' proposes that a symbiotic relationship between the archaea and bacteria created the nucleus - containing eukaryotic cell . ( Organisms of the Archaea and Bacteria domain have no cell nucleus . ) It is hypothesized that the symbiosis originated when ancient archaea , similar to modern methanogenic archaea , invaded and lived within bacteria similar to modern myxobacteria , eventually forming the early nucleus . This theory is analogous to the accepted theory for the origin of eukaryotic mitochondria and chloroplasts , which are thought to have developed from a similar endosymbiotic relationship between proto - eukaryotes and aerobic bacteria . The archaeal origin of the nucleus is supported by observations that archaea and eukarya have similar genes for certain proteins , including histones . Observations that myxobacteria are motile , can form multicellular complexes , and possess kinases and G proteins similar to eukarya , support a bacterial origin for the eukaryotic cell . A second model proposes that proto - eukaryotic cells evolved from bacteria without an endosymbiotic stage . This model is based on the existence of modern planctomycetes bacteria that possess a nuclear structure with primitive pores and other compartmentalized membrane structures . A similar proposal states that a eukaryote - like cell , the chronocyte , evolved first and phagocytosed archaea and bacteria to generate the nucleus and the eukaryotic cell . The most controversial model , known as viral eukaryogenesis , posits that the membrane - bound nucleus , along with other eukaryotic features , originated from the infection of a prokaryote by a virus . The suggestion is based on similarities between eukaryotes and viruses such as linear DNA strands , mRNA capping , and tight binding to proteins ( analogizing histones to viral envelopes ) . One version of the proposal suggests that the nucleus evolved in concert with phagocytosis to form an early cellular `` predator '' .", "19": "Another variant proposes that eukaryotes originated from early archaea infected by poxviruses , on the basis of observed similarity between the DNA polymerases in modern poxviruses and eukaryotes . It has been suggested that the unresolved question of the evolution of sex could be related to the viral eukaryogenesis hypothesis . A more recent proposal , the exomembrane hypothesis , suggests that the nucleus instead originated from a single ancestral cell that evolved a second exterior cell membrane ; the interior membrane enclosing the original cell then became the nuclear membrane and evolved increasingly elaborate pore structures for passage of internally synthesized cellular components such as ribosomal subunits .

Dr.", "1": "Marvin ' Leo ' Markus Minnie Driver Lorraine Finster Jamie Kaler Gary Emily Rutherfurd Joanne Jon Fleming Russell Bobby Cannavale Vince D'Angelo Alec Baldwin Malcolm Widmark Mathew Botuchis Dave Bernadette Peters Gin Family members ( edit ) Grace 's family ( edit ) Dr. Marvin `` Leo '' Markus , portrayed by actor and singer Harry Connick , Jr. , is a Jewish doctor and Grace 's husband from the fifth season . Leo meets Grace Adler in Central Park while she is on her way to be artificially inseminated with gay best friend Will 's baby . After Will finds out that Leo and Grace are dating , they have their biggest fight of the entire series , in which Will tells Grace to move out . Thanks to Jack and Karen 's meddling , they forgive each other and Will accepts Grace 's relationship . In November , 2002 , Grace and Leo are married at a spontaneous group ceremony in Central Park , which was supposed to be broadcast on The Today Show . It was later revealed in the storyline that the ceremony was not legal , but the two officially marry at a ceremony soon after . Leo and Grace 's relationship was a constant source of tension between Will and Grace , although they eventually achieved a certain accord with each other -- Leo even commenting to Will at one point that he considered himself essentially married to both of them due to his ability to accept their close relationship . Leo 's true first name is Marvin , as revealed by his mother at their wedding reception . According to The Nation Magazine , this was the first time in television history that a Jewish protagonist character had married inside the faith . Grace immediately realizes she does not know as much about Leo as she expected . Their marriage fails after less than two years , when Leo reveals that he had a one - night stand while working in Cambodia for Doctors Without Borders . Leo admits his affair to Will first . Will then refuses to help Leo break the news to Grace . After Leo comes clean about his affair , Grace briefly considers continuing their marriage , but quickly decides she wants a divorce . Leo reappears during season eight , a little over a year after the divorce in the storyline , in the episode `` Love Is in the Airplane . ''", "2": "In the episode , he and Grace have a sexual encounter on an airplane after coincidentally ending up on the same flight to London , though Leo was to continue to Thailand . The result is Grace 's pregnancy , as discovered in the season eight episode `` The Definition of Marriage '' . A couple of months later Grace meets Leo , with the intention of telling him that she is pregnant with his baby , but he informs her that he is engaged to another woman , Kate . Consequently , Grace decides not to tell Leo about the pregnancy . In the series finale ( May 2006 ) Leo tells a heavily pregnant Grace that he loves her . Leo has a job as a hospital researcher in Rome , Italy , and this is where Grace gives birth . After one year in Rome , Leo and Grace move back to Brooklyn , New York , where they raise their daughter , Laila , together . 11 years later in season 9 it was revealed that this was part of Karen 's dream . Bobbi Adler , Grace 's mother , was played by Debbie Reynolds . Bobbi is an actress and singer , although her performances are generally with the Schenectady Players and involve gender changing roles , in plays such as `` Death of a Salesperson '' , `` The Music Person '' and `` Queen Lear '' . She has a constant desire to meddle in the love lives of her daughters , is the creator of the Adler family `` Told you so '' dance , and can always be relied upon to have a song for every occasion . She has , in the past , shown a perfect willingness for Will and Grace to get married . It is mentioned in Season 9 episode `` Rosario 's Quinceañera '' that she died . Martin Adler , Grace 's father , played by Alan Arkin and Robert Klein in Season 9 . Portrayed by his family as the stereotypical Jewish patriarch , Martin shows genuine affection for Grace , although remarks he has made suggest Joyce is his favorite . He has been known to pinpoint Grace 's flaws without looking up from his Kojak and Baretta reruns . Janet Adler , Grace 's older sister , is played by Geena Davis and Mary McCormack in Season 9 . Janet lives in a van and designs jewelry . Her nickname for Grace is `` Smudge '' .", "3": "It is once implied that she has difficulties with her mother . In the episode `` Lows in the Mid-Eighties '' , Will asks if Grace has another sister named Janet , to which Bobbi , Joyce , and Grace quickly answer `` No ! '' Joyce Adler , Grace 's younger sister , is played by Sara Rue . It is suggested that Grace and Joyce had a not too friendly relationship growing up , and that Joyce was formerly a binge eater . She is often hostile to Grace , but one word from Will and she tends to giggle and act girlishly ; it appears that she , like Grace before her , has a crush on Will . Laila Markus , Grace and Leo 's daughter , is played by Maria Thayer . Laila was conceived by Leo and Grace on an aircraft , during a period where her parents were divorced . She was going to be raised by Will and Grace , but her parents remarried shortly before her birth . She appears on screen only during the series finale . Warren , played by Jesse Fremont Allis , is the imaginary son of Grace and Leo in a dream that Grace has during the last episode of season 8 . Grace and Will raise ' their ' son together . Will 's family ( edit ) Vince D'Angelo , played by Bobby Cannavale . An Italian - American police officer , Vince first met Will after giving Karen a ticket for speeding and they started dating after the subsequent hearing . Vince was friends with Joe and Larry and began Will 's first long - term relationship in the series ' run . Vince broke up with Will , requesting time alone after repeatedly losing his job . He re-encountered Will in season 8 and , during the funeral of Will 's father , they acknowledged their mutual feelings , thus rekindling their romance . In the finale , Will and Vince are shown to raise a son , Ben , together . 11 years later in season 9 it was revealed that this was part of Karen 's dream . Marilyn Truman , Will 's mother , is played by Blythe Danner . A typical WASP , Marilyn regularly drinks , collects Lladró statues and treats them as if they were her children , and put up with her husband 's regular affairs until their ultimate separation .", "4": "She is not a fan of musical theater -- once claiming that Les Misérables was unrealistic because `` poor people do n't sing that much '' -- but was impressed with Mamma Mia ! . She does not like the jokes Grace and Karen make about Will 's sexuality , saying , `` Is that a gay joke ? I do n't like that . '' George Truman , Will 's father , is played by Sydney Pollack . While he and Will have a close loving relationship , of which both Jack and Grace are envious , it is eventually revealed that he had trouble dealing with telling others of his son 's sexuality , initially telling his friends Will was married to Grace . He dies in season 8 , only days after having a fight with Will in which he admitted he would rather that Will was not gay . Sam Truman , Will 's brother , is played by John Slattery in season one and Steven Weber in season 8 . He had a falling - out with Will over comments Will made about his wife , but reconciled after he had a one - night stand with Grace . He eventually divorced his wife and gained full custody of their two children . Paul Truman , Will 's brother , is played by Jon Tenney . Paul never really came to terms with his brother 's sexuality and often behaved like a childish bully , belittling and insulting Will . Peggy Truman , Paul 's wife and Will 's sister - in - law , is played by Helen Slater . She was only shown in one episode and came off as waspish and suspicious of Grace 's friendly behavior towards her own husband . Tina , George 's mistress , is played by Lesley Ann Warren . She began a relationship with George while he was still married to Marilyn , but was dismayed to learn that George was then seeing his ex-wife behind her back . Ultimately she and Marilyn come to an understanding , that they will share George between them without him knowing what is going on . This arrangement apparently ended not long before George 's death . Jordy Truman , Sam 's son and Will 's nephew , is played by Reed Alexander . Flamboyant Jordan incenses Will , since Marilyn is incredibly accepting of him even though she was not at first accepting of Will . His nickname is Jordy .", "5": "He is perceived to be gay by the other characters , although he is still a child , because of his flamboyant nature , love of show tunes and musicals , along with his general disposition . Casey Truman , Sam 's daughter and Will 's niece , is played by Kyla Dang . Casey was adopted by Sam and his ex-wife . Ben Truman , Will and Vince 's son , is played by Ben Newmark . Appearing only during the series finale , Ben was apparently born from a surrogate mother using Will 's sperm . Upon going to college , he meets and later marries Grace 's daughter , Laila . Karen 's family ( edit ) Stanley `` Stan '' Walker , Karen 's third husband ( little is known about her first two ) , is a mostly unseen character . He is an obese man , and has worn a toupee since his teens . Stan has two children from a previous marriage to a woman named Kathy . Karen fell in love with him in the 1980s but they did n't marry until 1995 . Stan was jailed for tax evasion in season four , and began an affair with a cafeteria worker named Lorraine ( played by Minnie Driver ) , and -- after his release in season five -- continued the affair , ultimately separating from Karen because of it . He is reported to have died at the end of season five but , at the end of season seven , he reveals to Will that he had faked his own death and is hiding out with the aid of the government . He and Karen reconcile in season 8 , but subsequently faced marital difficulties and divorce . Stan 's popularity with fast food establishments leads to Pizza Hut taking out a full - page ad in the New York Times to congratulate him on his release from prison ; Taco Bell also organize a flyover at his funeral . It is revealed in the series finale that Stan 's riches were actually borrowed and that he had no real money of his own . Mason Walker , Stan 's son , is another unseen character . He is known to Karen as `` the fat one '' . During one episode , Karen visits Mason during a swim try - out . She cheers and applauds and has a conversation with him until , at the end , she realizes she has been conversing with the wrong boy and not Mason after all .", "6": "Olivia Walker , Stan 's daughter , is played by Hallee Hirsh . Although she has had fun times with Karen , such as sticking food to the floor to see how long Mason will spend trying to eat it , she also has problems with her stepmother . Lois Whitley , Karen 's mother , played by Suzanne Pleshette . A con artist who used Karen in her early schemes . They had been estranged for several years when they reconciled in season 4 , with the help of Jack . Virginia `` Ginny '' Delaney , Karen 's sister , played by Bernadette Peters . In 1963 , as a child , she was injured in a brutal game of Twister played with Karen . Barry , Karen 's cousin , is played by Dan Futterman . Originally a gay bookish homebody , Karen had Will and Jack bring him out of his shell to become an attractive person whom both Will and Jack fall for . Sylvia Walker , Karen 's mother - in - law , is played by Ellen Albertini Dow . She is a woman that ' strikes fear in her heart - facsimile ' . A seemingly kind , but homophobic old woman , Sylvia appears in one episode to accompany Will and Jack to a club . In the beginning neither Will nor Jack wanted to babysit Sylvia , known as `` Syl '' . She had been dumped on them by Karen , who then ditched her . Karen and Syl have a caustic relationship . Sumner , Karen 's nephew , is played by Paul Satterfield . Karen tries to keep him from dating Grace in season 3 . Rosario inez consuela yolanda salazar ( edit ) Karen Walker 's put - upon but faithful maid portrayed by actress Shelley Morrison . In 1985 , Rosario met Karen Walker at a club , while working as a cigarette lady , and went to work for her as a maid , which was where she was working when the series began in 1998 . Rosario and Karen are very close , but their relationship is love - hate . They are notorious for swapping insults . Rosario is just as feisty as Karen , and is one of the few people who manage to go head - to - head with her .", "7": "A native of El Salvador , Rosario was a school teacher who received a bachelor 's degree in clinical psychology from the University of Texas and who almost got a master 's degree . She also attended business school . At some point , she moved to the Bronx , presumably while studying business ; however , Karen makes a comment that she bought Rosario from Rosario 's parents . While there , she also performed with a then - unknown Jennifer Lopez , including a production of `` Tea for Two '' at the Shalom Retirement Center . At one point , she was also paid to tape pornographic videos for Tommy Lee . Although she had been mentioned by Karen since the pilot episode , Rosario 's first appearance was in the season 1 finale . Due to Karen 's patronizing tone , we 're made to think that Rosario does n't speak English well . Rosario actually speaks English fluently , albeit with a thick accent , but is an illegal alien . To keep her in the country , Karen has her marry Jack McFarland , her gay friend , to get a green card . The marriage was later terminated at the end of season 2 when Rosario asked for a divorce in order to pursue other romantic interests . However , she maintained a close relationship with Jack ( often echoing hers with Karen ) and claimed to still think of him as family . In the series finale , Rosario was shown to have lived with Karen and Jack in the years after the show ended , growing older with them and possibly still working for them despite being in a wheelchair ( though she states that she is only in the wheelchair due to a sprained ankle ) . Jack 's family ( edit ) Judith McFarland , Jack 's mother , is played by Veronica Cartwright . Despite the obvious clues , Judith did not learn about Jack 's sexuality until he was 30 . She was impregnated with Jack while at a swinger 's costume and pool party . Daniel McFarland , Jack 's stepfather , is played by Beau Bridges . Daniel always had trouble relating to Jack , due to his own athleticism and Jack 's lack thereof . Despite Jack 's statements to the contrary , Daniel is shown to be a caring man who is at least recently trying to reconnect with Jack . Joe Black , Jack 's biological father .", "8": "Never portrayed on screen , Joe was revealed to have attended a swingers costumed pool party during the 60s , where he was dressed as Richard Nixon . During the party he impregnated Judith , who was dressed as the rear end of a horse . He dies several years before Jack discovers that Daniel McFarland is not his biological father . Elliott , Jack 's son , is played by Michael Angarano . Shortly after learning of his biological father 's death , Jack meets Elliott -- his biological son created from sperm Jack donated at the age of 17 . He is described by Will as , `` Polite , sweet , and kind '' which , he says , is the reason Karen initially dislikes him . His relationship with Jack is shown to be very close -- Jack noting in one episode that he wants to avoid being the kind of father he had as he always regretted the fact that they never really connected . However , they have a brief rift when Elliott prepares to leave for college during the last season . Bonnie , Elliott 's mother , is played by Rosie O'Donnell . Initially , Bonnie did not want Jack to be included in Elliott 's life . Bonnie was a lesbian , but was not open about her sexuality to Elliott . She felt jealous that Jack found it easy to be open with Elliott about his sexuality when she did not feel she could be . Friends ( edit ) Rob and Ellen , Will and Grace 's close friends , are played by Tom Gallop and Leigh - Allyn Baker . Ellen and Grace were best friends since college , as were Rob and Will , and the two couples regularly played charades and other games during dinner parties . Grace also sleeps with Rob in season one when they were both going through break - ups and felt emotionally vulnerable , a fact that did n't come up until Rob and Ellen 's wedding some years later . The couple did get married , however , and have since had three children , the youngest named Roman ( which is the name of Debra Messing 's real - life son , born in 2004 ) . Rob and Ellen want to separate , so that they could begin dating other people , and they announce their separation at a dinner date with Will and Grace .", "9": "Grace makes them realize that they had worked at their marriage and they should remain together ; and also keenly reminded them that no one else would have them . Rob and Ellen decided to give their marriage another chance . Joe and Larry are Will , Jack and Grace 's close friends , and are played by Jerry Levine and Tim Bagley . A gay couple , once party animals , Joe and Larry adopted a baby girl called Hannah in season three . Karen occasionally refers to them as `` Mo and Mary '' , with `` Mo '' being a play on the word `` Homo '' . Val Bassett , a neighbor of Will and Grace , is played by Molly Shannon . Slightly unstable , and alcoholic , Val originally befriends only Will , until Grace eventually discovers some common interests with her . Both of them still consider her unstable , as does Jack , who found her as an uninvited guest in his bedroom . When Grace accidentally attends an AA meeting , she is seen there by Val , who coerces her to stay . Grace pretends to be an alcoholic for the `` free food and therapy '' . Beverley Leslie , played by Leslie Jordan , is an effeminate and very short `` frenemy '' of Karen 's . Having a wealthy spouse , as Karen does , Karen and Beverley routinely find themselves traveling in the same society circle of the wealthy and elite . Their relationship is that of friends and enemies . Beverley 's wife 's name is Crystal and is considerably older than he is . His marriage seems to be held together purely out of his love of Crystal 's money . Karen , Will , Grace , and Jack see Beverley as a closeted gay man . He is often seen with a younger attractive man named Benji who appears to be his lover , but Beverley tries to pass him off as a `` business associate '' . When Beverley appears on screen he often catches the other characters by surprise . Sometimes his appearance comes after a character says something that could be comically associated with him . For instance , whilst discussing a dessert , Jack says , `` I want something small and fruity , with ladyfingers , '' and Beverley enters . Beverley and Karen often trade insults , as Karen enjoys ridiculing him for his height . Whenever he appears on screen he can usually be heard saying ' Well , Well , Well ' in an effeminate way .", "10": "Crystal later dies and Beverley inherits the fortune . Some years later Karen 's husband Stan loses his fortune , putting Karen 's extravagant lifestyle in jeopardy . Beverley presumably spends several more years with Benji after Crystal 's death , and then begins seeing a reluctant Jack , who only dated Beverley to support Karen 's excessive spending habits , as she had done for him for so many years . During the series finale Beverley is swept off a balcony by a strong gust of wind and dies , leaving his estate in his will to Jack . Rory , Toby , and Josh are friends of Jack who are never seen , but mentioned in various episodes . Early in Season 3 Rory is mentioned as being into Asian men .

Love interests ( edit ) Grace ( edit ) Nathan , played by Woody Harrelson . Nathan is Grace 's neighbor in season 3 , who becomes her boyfriend . They appear to be a good match , but early in Season 4 he abruptly proposes to her during sex and she becomes distraught at the unromantic nature of his proposal , forcing him to take it back and ask again in a more romantic way . For several days they are awkward around each other and , fearing that their relationship is over , Grace proposes to Nathan who reluctantly refuses and breaks up with her . Ben Doucette , played by Gregory Hines , is introduced in mid-season 2 . Grace sues him after he violates her contract of employment , firing her without reimbursement for expenses she incurred while decorating his house . Although at first he played Grace and Will , who was representing her , he eventually gave her the money voluntarily and hired Will to work at his renowned law firm . Grace and he disliked each other for the rest of the season , until the season finale when Ben showed her his more humane face , when Will invited him to dine with them . They then started a happy , semi-monogamous relationship that lasted for roughly six months , until they broke up early in Season 3 when they realized that they were not in love . Josh , played by Corey Parker . A sweet , romantic New Age - y man whom Grace dates in season 2 .", "11": "Grace often has issues with him being far too affectionate and nice , to the point of being obnoxious .

A greetings - card writer who falls for Grace when he meets her one Valentine 's Day in season 7 , after her divorce from Leo . Nick is the first guy Grace starts dating after her divorce with Leo .

Danny , played by Tom Verica , Grace 's long - term boyfriend from roughly 1995 -- 1998 , whom she nearly marries in the pilot episode . She realizes , after Will advised her against the marriage , that Danny was too immature for her , and practically leaves him at the altar . They reunite at the end of season 1 , much to Will 's dismay . Yet again Grace decides that she does not love him and , after roughly a week ( one episode ) , Grace breaks up with him off - screen . Mark , played by Ken Marino , is another of Grace 's partners in Season 3 , `` Three 's a Crowd , Six is a Freakshow '' . She dumps him because he has 6 toes , although the actual 6th toe was not seen in the episode . Will ( edit ) Barry , played by Dan Futterman . Karen sets up her hopeless cousin Barry with Will , shortly after he comes out . Will and Jack soon undertake a Pygmalion-esque attempt at turning Barry into a more confident gay man , ending when Will falls for Barry though Barry wants to play around before settling down . James Hanson , played by Taye Diggs . Will meets James at a Manhattan theater and the two have an immediate connection . He later runs into James while on a trip to Los Angeles . James has recently discovered he is going to be deported back to Canada .", "12": "Grace agreed to marry James so that he can acquire a green card in order to remain in the United States , thus giving James and Will 's relationship a chance . However , Will soon discovers James was not who he thought he was , as James began showing himself to be self - centered . Will requests that Grace annul their marriage . Matthew , played by Patrick Dempsey , is a sports reporter Will meets at a Banana Republic store while trying to help Jack woo him .

Scott , played by Branden Williams , is Will 's 23 - year - old date in two episodes in season 3 , and works at a local video rental shop . Although they get along well together , Will feels self - conscious about dating Scott , who is quite a bit younger than he is . Will agrees to break it off with Scott if Grace agrees to dump Nathan . Grace agrees and Will breaks up with Scott , though Grace keeps on seeing Nathan . Diane , played by Mira Sorvino & Lisa Borgnes , is a woman with whom Will has a drunken one - night stand in order to convince himself he was a 100 % gay after leaving Grace . She is also one of Leo 's exes . Both of these facts make Grace very jealous . Diane states that Will is much better in bed than Leo . Diane was shown briefly ( though she had no lines ) in the season 3 episode titled `` Lows In the Mid-Eighties '' , but was played by a writer 's assistant , Lisa Borgnes . Claire , played by Megyn Price , is Will 's high school friend and girlfriend , the first of the only two women Will has ever dated , the second being Grace . She lives in Paris and asks Will to donate sperm so that she can have a baby , but Will realizes that if he was going to donate sperm he wanted to donate it to Grace . Michael , played by Chris Potter in season 2 and Cheyenne Jackson in season 9 , is a mostly unseen character and is Will 's lover of seven years . When the sitcom first appeared , he and Michael had recently broken up .", "13": "Michael appears in the episode `` Hey La , Hey La , My Ex-Boyfriend's Back '' , which aired on March 14 , 2000 . He is mentioned occasionally by Will and Grace , and more than once Will refers to him as the love of his life . In the early seasons of the show Will has a hard time letting him go . He and Will begin dating again in season 9 , but Will ends ti when Michael asks for money . Karen ( edit ) Lyle Finster , played by John Cleese . Lyle is the father of Stan 's mistress , Lorraine .

Wooley is the man who lost to Karen for Student Body President and has spent his life hatching schemes to ruin her . Sadly , his schemes are often poorly thought out and eventually Grace realises that he does n't hate Karen , he loves her . However , his attempts to woo her are as misguided as his previous ones . Woolley also has a dreadful sense of word - play ( i.e. `` The Scotty Mammoth '' , `` Beam me up , Woolley '' ) . He also changes his first name when using an alias , whereas most people change their last names . Lionel Banks , played by Rip Torn . Banks is a bachelor who falls for Karen , under her alias Anastasia Beaverhausen , while Stan is in jail and tempts her into having an affair . Malcolm Widmark , played by Alec Baldwin . Widmark is a government agent who helps Stan fake his death . He has a brief relationship with Karen before she reconciles with Stan , and Widmark goes on a government mission to Sri Lanka . Malcolm reappears in the final two episodes of season 9 , where it is revealed that he and Karen go on a rendezvous trip every year . However , Malcolm is very tired of having to hide from Stan and pressures Karen into deciding between him and Stan . Though she is reluctant to change their situation and despite both of them being tempted to give in to each other , Karen decides to stay with Stan and she and Malcolm share an awkward goodbye .", "14": "Jack ( edit ) Stuart Lamarack , played by Dave Foley , is a client of Will 's who becomes Jack 's longest relationship , until Jack cheats on him . Drew , played by Ryan Pinkston , is a police officer , Vince 's co-worker and Jack 's boyfriend for the second half of season 9 . Jack meets him at Vince D'Angelo's wedding in `` The Wedding '' . As Drew is the only cop at the wedding whose favourite show is `` This is Us '' , Jack concludes he must be gay and sleeps with him . This turns out to be the first gay experience for the formerly straight Drew , who reveals he is married , tells Jack he loves him and then introduces him to his wife Angela . Jack is annoyed at that revelation , but later comes to relish it and he and Drew go at it in the bathroom . In the next episode , Jack and Drew start seeing each other secretly and Jack , nervous about screwing things up too soon , advises a reluctant Drew to hold off on coming out to Angela for the time being . He even supports the alibi of them being just guy friends by having Karen pose as his wife . However , Karen , reminded of her mother 's unhappiness in her marriage , outs both Jack and Drew in front of Angela , who is surprisingly supportive and arranges a coming out party for Drew , much to Jack 's distress . Jack admits to Drew that he fears missing out on other great men in his life , but when Karen reminds him of his fear of being old and lonely , which is even worse , he decides to give Drew another chance . In `` One Job '' , after two months of dating , Drew breaks up with Jack , admitting he is not ready for a serious commitment at the moment and wants to see other people . Jack is devastated at the breakup , as he realises that he is now ready to settle down with someone . Jack has countless short - term lovers over the course of the series ( and presumably long before and after ) , although most are never mentioned by name , or mentioned at all ; it is constantly assumed , and not always stated , that he has multiple boyfriends in every episode . Due to Jack 's promiscuity , and his habit of forgetting his boyfriends ' names , it would be literally impossible to list all of his love interests over the course of the show .", "15": "Will jokes that if he was to avoid every man that Jack has ever slept with , `` that would leave ( him ) with women . '' Grace jokes that if everyone stopped working for every man that broke his heart `` the city would shut down . '' Jack also comments that he goes on thousands of dates a year . Other supporting characters ( edit ) Lorraine Finster , played by Minnie Driver , is Stan 's mistress .

Lorraine was unable to attend the wedding due to an aggressive strain of herpes that kept her from flying .

Kennedy The 1960 Democratic presidential primaries were the selection process by which voters of the Democratic Party chose its nominee for President of the United States in the 1960 U.S. presidential election . Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts was selected as the nominee through a series of primary elections and caucuses culminating in the 1960 Democratic National Convention held from July 11 to July 15 , 1960 , in Los Angeles , California .

To prove his vote - getting ability , Kennedy challenged Minnesota Senator Hubert Humphrey , a liberal , in the Wisconsin primary .", "1": "Although Kennedy defeated Humphrey in Wisconsin , the fact that his margin of victory came mostly from heavily Catholic areas left many party bosses unconvinced of Kennedy 's appeal to non-Catholic voters . Kennedy next faced Humphrey in the heavily Protestant state of West Virginia , where anti-Catholic bigotry was said to be widespread . Humphrey 's campaign was low on money and could not compete with the well - organized , well - financed Kennedy team . Kennedy 's attractive sisters and brothers combed the state looking for votes , leading Humphrey to complain that he `` felt like an independent merchant running against a chain store . '' On primary day , Kennedy crushed Humphrey with over 60 % of the vote . Humphrey withdrew from the race and Kennedy had gained the victory he needed to prove to the party 's bosses that a Catholic could win in a non-Catholic state . In the months leading up to the Democratic Convention Kennedy traveled around the nation persuading delegates from various states to support him . However , as the Convention opened , Kennedy was still a few dozen votes short of victory . Although Kennedy won primaries by comfortable margin , his main opponent , Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson , who did not participate in primaries , had a very strong base in party establishment and gained many delegates . Johnson did not join any primary , but was a write - in .

Thrust SSC holds the world land speed record , set on 15 October 1997 , when it achieved a speed of 1,228 km / h ( 763 mph ) and became the first land vehicle to officially break the sound barrier . Both Thrust SSC and Thrust2 are displayed at the Coventry Transport Museum in Coventry , England . As part of the Museum 's redevelopment project , both cars were relocated by specialist haulier from their position in the Museum 's Spirit of Speed Gallery to the new Biffa Award Land Speed Record Gallery which opened in 2015 . The car is 16.5 metres long and 3.7 metres wide and weighs nearly 10 tons . It had a total thrust of 223 kN ( approximately 50,000 pounds force , equivalent to around 110,000 brake horsepower ) .", "1": "Contents ( hide ) 1 Details 2 Legacy 3 Richard Noble -- Orange - Intel dispute 4 See also 5 Notes 6 References 7 External links Details ( edit ) The car was driven by Royal Air Force fighter pilot Wing Commander Andy Green in the Black Rock Desert in the state of Nevada . It was powered by two afterburning Rolls - Royce Spey turbofan engines , as used in the British version of the F - 4 Phantom II jet fighter . The car was 16.5 m ( 54 ft ) long , 3.7 m ( 12 ft ) wide and weighed 10.5 tons ( 10.7 t ) , and the twin engines developed a net thrust of 223 kN ( 50,000 lbf ) , a power output of 110,000 bhp ( 82MW ) , burning around 18 litres / second ( 4.0 Imperial gallons / s or 4.8 US gallons / s ) . Transformed into the usual terms for car mileages based on its maximum speed , the fuel consumption was about 550 l / 100 km ( 0.51 mpg ; 0.43 mpg ) . The record run in October 1997 was preceded by extensive test runs of the vehicle in autumn 1996 and spring 1997 in the Al - Jafr desert ( located in Ma'an Governorate ) in Jordan , a location unknown before for its capabilities as a test range for high speed land vehicles , with numerous advantages compared to the salt deserts of the Western United States . After the record was set , the World Motor Sport Council released the following message : The World Motor Sport Council homologated the new world land speed records set by the team ThrustSSC of Richard Noble , driver Andy Green , on 15 October 1997 at Black Rock Desert , Nevada ( USA ) . This is the first time in history that a land vehicle has exceeded the speed of sound . The new records are as follows : Flying mile 1227.985 km / h ( 763.035 mph ) Flying kilometre 1223.657 km / h ( 760.343 mph ) In setting the record , the sound barrier was broken in both the north and south runs . Paris , 11 November 1997 .", "2": "The complete run history is available . Legacy ( edit ) In 1983 Richard Noble had broken the world land speed record with his earlier car Thrust2 , which reached a speed of 1,019 km / h ( 633 mph ) . The date of Andy Green 's record came exactly a half century and one day after Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier in Earth 's atmosphere , with the Bell X-1 research rocket plane on 14 October 1947 . Both Thrust SSC and Thrust2 are displayed at the Coventry Transport Museum in Coventry , England . Thrust SSC is housed in a barrel - roofed hall . Visitors can board the pit trailer from which Thrust SSC runs were controlled , and can ride a motion simulator depicting a computer - generated animation of the record - breaking run from the perspective of Green . Several teams are competing to break the record , including Richard Noble 's Bloodhound SSC project and the North American Eagle Project . Richard Noble -- Orange - Intel dispute ( edit ) In June 2012 , a television advertisement for the Orange San Diego mobile phone , containing an Intel processor , was broadcast on British television and featured a fast car in computer generated imagery . Richard Noble claimed that the car was a representation of Thrust SSC and thus these companies had used his intellectual property without permission , putting the future of the Bloodhound SSC project in doubt . The Advertising Standards Authority rejected the Bloodhound team 's complaint , claiming that intellectual property disputes were not in its remit . According to BBC News technology correspondent Rory Cellan - Jones , Intel and Orange responded that their production team had researched different styles of `` superfast vehicles '' and developed their own Orange - branded land speed car , and that the advertisement and phone were not connected to Noble or Bloodhound SSC .

{ "0": "Board of directors - wikipedia Board of directors Jump to : navigation , search `` Board Room '' and `` Board of Trustees '' redirect here . For other uses , see Board Room ( disambiguation ) and Board of Trustees ( disambiguation ) . A meeting of a board of directors of the Leipzig -- Dresden Railway Company in 1852 A board of directors is a recognized group of people who jointly oversee the activities of an organization , which can be either a for - profit business , nonprofit organization , or a government agency . Such a board 's powers , duties , and responsibilities are determined by government regulations ( including the jurisdiction 's corporations law ) and the organization 's own constitution and bylaws . These authorities may specify the number of members of the board , how they are to be chosen , and how often they are to meet . In an organization with voting members , the board is accountable to , and might be subordinate to , the organization 's full membership , which usually vote for the members of the board . In a stock corporation , non-executive directors are voted for by the shareholders and the board is the highest authority in the management of the corporation . The board of directors appoints the chief executive officer of the corporation and sets out the overall strategic direction . In corporations with dispersed ownership , the identification and nomination of directors ( that shareholders vote for or against ) are often done by the board itself , leading to a high degree of self - perpetuation . In a non-stock corporation with no general voting membership , the board is the supreme governing body of the institution ; its members are sometimes chosen by the board itself .

For companies with publicly trading stock , these responsibilities are typically much more rigorous and complex than for those of other types . Typically , the board chooses one of its members to be the chairman ( more usually now called the `` chair '' or `` chairperson '' ) , who holds whatever title is specified in the bylaws or articles of association . However , in membership organizations , the members elect the president of the organization and the president becomes the chair of the board , unless the bylaws say otherwise . Directors ( edit ) The directors of an organization are the persons who are members of its board . Several specific terms categorize directors by the presence or absence of their other relationships to the organization . Inside director ( edit ) An inside director is a director who is also an employee , officer , chief executive , major shareholder , or someone similarly connected to the organization . Inside directors represent the interests of the entity 's stakeholders , and often have special knowledge of its inner workings , its financial or market position , and so on . Typical inside directors are : A chief executive officer ( CEO ) who may also be chairman of the board Other executives of the organization , such as its chief financial officer ( CFO ) or executive vice president Large shareholders ( who may or may not also be employees or officers ) Representatives of other stakeholders such as labor unions , major lenders , or members of the community in which the organization is located An inside director who is employed as a manager or executive of the organization is sometimes referred to as an executive director ( not to be confused with the title executive director sometimes used for the CEO position in some organizations ) . Executive directors often have a specified area of responsibility in the organization , such as finance , marketing , human resources , or production . Outside director ( edit ) Main article : Independent director An outside director is a member of the board who is not otherwise employed by or engaged with the organization , and does not represent any of its stakeholders .", "4": "A typical example is a director who is president of a firm in a different industry . Outside directors are not employees of the company or affiliated with it in any other way . Outside directors bring outside experience and perspectives to the board . For example , for a company that only serves a domestic market , the presence of CEOs from global multinational corporations as outside directors can help to provide insights on export and import opportunities and international trade options . One of the arguments for having outside directors is that they can keep a watchful eye on the inside directors and on the way the organization is run . Outside directors are unlikely to tolerate `` insider dealing '' between insider directors , as outside directors do not benefit from the company or organization . Outside directors are often useful in handling disputes between inside directors , or between shareholders and the board . They are thought to be advantageous because they can be objective and present little risk of conflict of interest . On the other hand , they might lack familiarity with the specific issues connected to the organization 's governance and they might not know about the industry or sector in which the organization is operating . Terminology ( edit ) Director -- a person appointed to serve on the board of an organization , such as an institution or business . Inside director -- a director who , in addition to serving on the board , has a meaningful connection to the organization Outside director -- a director who , other than serving on the board , has no meaningful connections to the organization Executive director -- an inside director who is also an executive with the organization . The term is also used , in a completely different sense , to refer to a CEO Non-executive director -- an inside director who is not an executive with the organization Shadow or de facto director -- an individual who is not a named director but who nevertheless directs or controls the organization Nominee director -- an individual who is appointed by a shareholder , creditor or interest group ( whether contractually or by resolution at a company meeting ) and who has a continuing loyalty to the appointor / s or other interest in the appointing company Individual directors often serve on more than one board . This practice results in an interlocking directorate , where a relatively small number of individuals have significant influence over a large number of important entities . This situation can have important corporate , social , economic , and legal consequences , and has been the subject of significant research .", "5": "Process and structure ( edit ) The process for running a board , sometimes called the board process , includes the selection of board members , the setting of clear board objectives , the dissemination of documents or board package to the board members , the collaborative creation of an agenda for the meeting , the creation and follow - up of assigned action items , and the assessment of the board process through standardized assessments of board members , owners , and CEOs . The science of this process has been slow to develop due to the secretive nature of the way most companies run their boards , however some standardization is beginning to develop . Some who are pushing for this standardization in the USA are the National Association of Corporate Directors , McKinsey Consulting and The Board Group . Board meetings ( edit ) A board of directors conducts its meetings according to the rules and procedures contained in its governing documents . These procedures may allow the board to conduct its business by conference call or other electronic means . They may also specify how a quorum is to be determined . Most organizations have adopted Robert 's Rules of Order as its guide to supplement its own rules . In this book , the rules for conducting board meetings may be less formal if there is no more than about a dozen board members present . An example of the informality is that motions are not required if it 's clear what is being discussed . Size ( edit ) Historically , nonprofit boards have not uncommonly had large boards with up to twenty - four members , but a modern trend is to have smaller boards as small as six or seven people . Studies suggest that after seven people , each additional person reduces the effectiveness of group - decision - making . Non-corporate boards ( edit ) The role and responsibilities of a board of directors vary depending on the nature and type of business entity and the laws applying to the entity ( see types of business entity ) . For example , the nature of the business entity may be one that is traded on a public market ( public company ) , not traded on a public market ( a private , limited or closely held company ) , owned by family members ( a family business ) , or exempt from income taxes ( a non-profit , not for profit , or tax - exempt entity ) . There are numerous types of business entities available throughout the world such as a corporation , limited liability company , cooperative , business trust , partnership , private limited company , and public limited company .", "6": "Much of what has been written about boards of directors relates to boards of directors of business entities actively traded on public markets . More recently , however , material is becoming available for boards of private and closely held businesses including family businesses . A board - only organization is one whose board is self - appointed , rather than being accountable to a base of members through elections ; or in which the powers of the membership are extremely limited . Membership organizations ( edit ) In membership organizations , such as a society made up of members of a certain profession or one advocating a certain cause , a board of directors may have the responsibility of running the organization in between meetings of the membership , especially if the membership meets infrequently , such as only at an annual general meeting . The amount of powers and authority delegated to the board depend on the bylaws and rules of the particular organization . Some organizations place matters exclusively in the board 's control while in others , the general membership retains full power and the board can only make recommendations . The setup of a board of directors vary widely across organizations and may include provisions that are applicable to corporations , in which the `` shareholders '' are the members of the organization . A difference may be that the membership elects the officers of the organization , such as the president and the secretary , and the officers become members of the board in addition to the directors and retain those duties on the board . The directors may also be classified as officers in this situation . There may also be ex-officio members of the board , or persons who are members due to another position that they hold . These ex-officio members have all the same rights as the other board members . Members of the board may be removed before their term is complete . Details on how they can be removed are usually provided in the bylaws . If the bylaws do not contain such details , the section on disciplinary procedures in Robert 's Rules of Order may be used . Corporations ( edit ) In a publicly held company , directors are elected to represent and are legally obligated as fiduciaries to represent owners of the company -- the shareholders / stockholders . In this capacity they establish policies and make decisions on issues such as whether there is dividend and how much it is , stock options distributed to employees , and the hiring / firing and compensation of upper management .", "7": "Governance ( edit ) Theoretically , the control of a company is divided between two bodies : the board of directors , and the shareholders in general meeting . In practice , the amount of power exercised by the board varies with the type of company . In small private companies , the directors and the shareholders are normally the same people , and thus there is no real division of power . In large public companies , the board tends to exercise more of a supervisory role , and individual responsibility and management tends to be delegated downward to individual professional executives ( such as a finance director or a marketing director ) who deal with particular areas of the company 's affairs . Another feature of boards of directors in large public companies is that the board tends to have more de facto power . Many shareholders grant proxies to the directors to vote their shares at general meetings and accept all recommendations of the board rather than try to get involved in management , since each shareholder 's power , as well as interest and information is so small . Larger institutional investors also grant the board proxies . The large number of shareholders also makes it hard for them to organize . However , there have been moves recently to try to increase shareholder activism among both institutional investors and individuals with small shareholdings . A contrasting view is that in large public companies it is upper management and not boards that wield practical power , because boards delegate nearly all of their power to the top executive employees , adopting their recommendations almost without fail . As a practical matter , executives even choose the directors , with shareholders normally following management recommendations and voting for them . In most cases , serving on a board is not a career unto itself . For major corporations , the board members are usually professionals or leaders in their field . In the case of outside directors , they are often senior leaders of other organizations . Nevertheless , board members often receive remunerations amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars per year since they often sit on the boards of several companies . Inside directors are usually not paid for sitting on a board , but the duty is instead considered part of their larger job description . Outside directors are usually paid for their services . These remunerations vary between corporations , but usually consist of a yearly or monthly salary , additional compensation for each meeting attended , stock options , and various other benefits . such as travel , hotel and meal expenses for the board meetings . Tiffany & Co.", "8": ", for example , pays directors an annual retainer of $46,500 , an additional annual retainer of $2,500 if the director is also a chairperson of a committee , a per - meeting - attended fee of $2,000 for meetings attended in person , a $500 fee for each meeting attended via telephone , in addition to stock options and retirement benefits . Two - tier system ( edit ) In some European and Asian countries , there are two separate boards , an executive board for day - to - day business and a supervisory board ( elected by the shareholders and employees ) for supervising the executive board . In these countries , the CEO ( chief executive or managing director ) presides over the executive board and the chairman presides over the supervisory board , and these two roles will always be held by different people . This ensures a distinction between management by the executive board and governance by the supervisory board and allows for clear lines of authority . The aim is to prevent a conflict of interest and too much power being concentrated in the hands of one person . There is a strong parallel here with the structure of government , which tends to separate the political cabinet from the management civil service . In the United States , the board of directors ( elected by the shareholders ) is often equivalent to the supervisory board , while the executive board may often be known as the executive committee ( operating committee or executive council ) , composed of the CEO and their direct reports ( other C - level officers , division / subsidiary heads ) . History ( edit ) The meeting room of the Heren XVII ( nl ) , the Dutch East India Company 's board of directors , in the Oost - Indisch Huis ( Amsterdam ) . The Dutch East India Company ( VOC ) is often considered by many to be an early pioneering model of the modern corporation . In 1610 , the company established its administrative center ( the VOC 's second headquarters ) in Batavia with a Governor - General in charge , as the company 's de facto chief executive . The examples and perspective in this section deal primarily with the United Kingdom and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject . You may improve this article , discuss the issue on the talk page , or create a new article , as appropriate .", "9": "( April 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The development of a separate board of directors to manage / govern / oversee a company has occurred incrementally and indefinitely over legal history . Until the end of the 19th century , it seems to have been generally assumed that the general meeting ( of all shareholders ) was the supreme organ of a company , and that the board of directors merely acted as an agent of the company subject to the control of the shareholders in general meeting . However , by 1906 , the English Court of Appeal had made it clear in the decision of Automatic Self - Cleansing Filter Syndicate Co Ltd v Cuninghame ( 1906 ) 2 Ch 34 that the division of powers between the board and the shareholders in general meaning depended on the construction of the articles of association and that , where the powers of management were vested in the board , the general meeting could not interfere with their lawful exercise . The articles were held to constitute a contract by which the members had agreed that `` the directors and the directors alone shall manage . '' The new approach did not secure immediate approval , but it was endorsed by the House of Lords in Quin & Axtens v Salmon ( 1909 ) AC 442 and has since received general acceptance . Under English law , successive versions of Table A have reinforced the norm that , unless the directors are acting contrary to the law or the provisions of the Articles , the powers of conducting the management and affairs of the company are vested in them . The modern doctrine was expressed in John Shaw & Sons ( Salford ) Ltd v Shaw ( 1935 ) 2 KB 113 by Greer LJ as follows : A company is an entity distinct alike from its shareholders and its directors . Some of its powers may , according to its articles , be exercised by directors , certain other powers may be reserved for the shareholders in general meeting . If powers of management are vested in the directors , they and they alone can exercise these powers . The only way in which the general body of shareholders can control the exercise of powers by the articles in the directors is by altering the articles , or , if opportunity arises under the articles , by refusing to re-elect the directors of whose actions they disapprove .", "10": "They can not themselves usurp the powers which by the articles are vested in the directors any more than the directors can usurp the powers vested by the articles in the general body of shareholders . It has been remarked that this development in the law was somewhat surprising at the time , as the relevant provisions in Table A ( as it was then ) seemed to contradict this approach rather than to endorse it . Election and removal ( edit ) In most legal systems , the appointment and removal of directors is voted upon by the shareholders in general meeting or through a proxy statement . For publicly traded companies in the U.S. , the directors which are available to vote on are largely selected by either the board as a whole or a nominating committee . Although in 2002 the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ required that nominating committees consist of independent directors as a condition of listing , nomination committees have historically received input from management in their selections even when the CEO does not have a position on the board . Shareholder nominations can only occur at the general meeting itself or through the prohibitively expensive process of mailing out ballots separately ; in May 2009 the SEC proposed a new rule allowing shareholders meeting certain criteria to add nominees to the proxy statement . In practice for publicly traded companies , the managers ( inside directors ) who are purportedly accountable to the board of directors have historically played a major role in selecting and nominating the directors who are voted on by the shareholders , in which case more `` gray outsider directors '' ( independent directors with conflicts of interest ) are nominated and elected . Directors may also leave office by resignation or death . In some legal systems , directors may also be removed by a resolution of the remaining directors ( in some countries they may only do so `` with cause '' ; in others the power is unrestricted ) . Some jurisdictions also permit the board of directors to appoint directors , either to fill a vacancy which arises on resignation or death , or as an addition to the existing directors. ( needs citation ) In practice , it can be quite difficult to remove a director by a resolution in general meeting . In many legal systems , the director has a right to receive special notice of any resolution to remove him or her ; the company must often supply a copy of the proposal to the director , who is usually entitled to be heard by the meeting . The director may require the company to circulate any representations that he wishes to make .", "11": "Furthermore , the director 's contract of service will usually entitle him to compensation if he is removed , and may often include a generous `` golden parachute '' which also acts as a deterrent to removal . A recent study examines how corporate shareholders voted in director elections in the United States . It found that directors received fewer votes from shareholders when their companies performed poorly , had excess CEO compensation , or had poor shareholder protection . Also , directors received fewer votes when they did not regularly attend board meetings or received negative recommendations from a proxy advisory firm . The study also shows that companies often improve their corporate governance by removing poison pills or classified boards and by reducing excessive CEO pay after their directors receive low shareholder support . Board accountability to shareholders is a recurring issue . In 2010 , the New York Times noted that several directors who had overseen companies which had failed in the financial crisis of 2007 -- 2010 had found new positions as directors . The SEC sometimes imposes a ban ( a `` D&O bar '' ) on serving on a board as part of its fraud cases , and one of these was upheld in 2013 . Exercise of powers ( edit ) The exercise by the board of directors of its powers usually occurs in board meetings . Most legal systems require sufficient notice to be given to all directors of these meetings , and that a quorum must be present before any business may be conducted . Usually , a meeting which is held without notice having been given is still valid if all of the directors attend , but it has been held that a failure to give notice may negate resolutions passed at a meeting , because the persuasive oratory of a minority of directors might have persuaded the majority to change their minds and vote otherwise . In most common law countries , the powers of the board are vested in the board as a whole , and not in the individual directors . However , in instances an individual director may still bind the company by his acts by virtue of his ostensible authority ( see also : the rule in Turquand 's Case ) . Duties ( edit ) Main articles : Directors ' duties and Fiduciary duties Because directors exercise control and management over the organization , but organizations are ( in theory ) run for the benefit of the shareholders , the law imposes strict duties on directors in relation to the exercise of their duties .", "12": "The duties imposed on directors are fiduciary duties , similar to those that the law imposes on those in similar positions of trust : agents and trustees . The duties apply to each director separately , while the powers apply to the board jointly . Also , the duties are owed to the company itself , and not to any other entity . This does not mean that directors can never stand in a fiduciary relationship to the individual shareholders ; they may well have such a duty in certain circumstances . `` Proper purpose '' ( edit ) Directors must exercise their powers for a proper purpose . While in many instances an improper purpose is readily evident , such as a director looking to feather his or her own nest or divert an investment opportunity to a relative , such breaches usually involve a breach of the director 's duty to act in good faith . Greater difficulties arise where the director , while acting in good faith , is serving a purpose that is not regarded by the law as proper . The seminal authority in relation to what amounts to a proper purpose is the Supreme Court decision in Eclairs Group Ltd v JKX Oil & Gas plc ( 2015 ) UKSC 71 ( 2 December 2015 ) . The case concerned the powers of directors under the articles of association of the company to disenfranchise voting rights attached to shares for failure to properly comply with notice served on the shareholders . Prior to that case the leading authority was Howard Smith Ltd v Ampol Ltd ( 1974 ) AC 821 . The case concerned the power of the directors to issue new shares . It was alleged that the directors had issued a large number of new shares purely to deprive a particular shareholder of his voting majority . An argument that the power to issue shares could only be properly exercised to raise new capital was rejected as too narrow , and it was held that it would be a proper exercise of the director 's powers to issue shares to a larger company to ensure the financial stability of the company , or as part of an agreement to exploit mineral rights owned by the company . If so , the mere fact that an incidental result ( even if it was a desired consequence ) was that a shareholder lost his majority , or a takeover bid was defeated , this would not itself make the share issue improper . But if the sole purpose was to destroy a voting majority , or block a takeover bid , that would be an improper purpose .", "13": "Not all jurisdictions recognised the `` proper purpose '' duty as separate from the `` good faith '' duty however . `` Unfettered discretion '' ( edit ) Directors can not , without the consent of the company , fetter their discretion in relation to the exercise of their powers , and can not bind themselves to vote in a particular way at future board meetings . This is so even if there is no improper motive or purpose , and no personal advantage to the director . This does not mean , however , that the board can not agree to the company entering into a contract which binds the company to a certain course , even if certain actions in that course will require further board approval . The company remains bound , but the directors retain the discretion to vote against taking the future actions ( although that may involve a breach by the company of the contract that the board previously approved ) . `` Conflict of duty and interest '' ( edit ) As fiduciaries , the directors may not put themselves in a position where their interests and duties conflict with the duties that they owe to the company . The law takes the view that good faith must not only be done , but must be manifestly seen to be done , and zealously patrols the conduct of directors in this regard ; and will not allow directors to escape liability by asserting that his decision was in fact well founded . Traditionally , the law has divided conflicts of duty and interest into three sub-categories . Transactions with the company ( edit ) By definition , where a director enters into a transaction with a company , there is a conflict between the director 's interest ( to do well for himself out of the transaction ) and his duty to the company ( to ensure that the company gets as much as it can out of the transaction ) . This rule is so strictly enforced that , even where the conflict of interest or conflict of duty is purely hypothetical , the directors can be forced to disgorge all personal gains arising from it . In Aberdeen Ry v Blaikie ( 1854 ) 1 Macq HL 461 Lord Cranworth stated in his judgment that : `` A corporate body can only act by agents , and it is , of course , the duty of those agents so to act as best to promote the interests of the corporation whose affairs they are conducting . Such agents have duties to discharge of a fiduciary nature towards their principal .", "14": "And it is a rule of universal application that no one , having such duties to discharge , shall be allowed to enter into engagements in which he has , or can have , a personal interest conflicting or which possibly may conflict , with the interests of those whom he is bound to protect ... So strictly is this principle adhered to that no question is allowed to be raised as to the fairness or unfairness of the contract entered into ... '' ( emphasis added ) However , in many jurisdictions the members of the company are permitted to ratify transactions which would otherwise fall foul of this principle . It is also largely accepted in most jurisdictions that this principle can be overridden in the company 's constitution . In many countries , there is also a statutory duty to declare interests in relation to any transactions , and the director can be fined for failing to make disclosure . Use of corporate property , opportunity , or information ( edit ) Directors must not , without the informed consent of the company , use for their own profit the company 's assets , opportunities , or information . This prohibition is much less flexible than the prohibition against the transactions with the company , and attempts to circumvent it using provisions in the articles have met with limited success . In Regal ( Hastings ) Ltd v Gulliver ( 1942 ) All ER 378 the House of Lords , in upholding what was regarded as a wholly unmeritorious claim by the shareholders , held that : `` ( i ) that what the directors did was so related to the affairs of the company that it can properly be said to have been done in the course of their management and in the utilisation of their opportunities and special knowledge as directors ; and ( ii ) that what they did resulted in profit to themselves . '' And accordingly , the directors were required to disgorge the profits that they made , and the shareholders received their windfall . The decision has been followed in several subsequent cases , and is now regarded as settled law . Competing with the company ( edit ) Directors can not compete directly with the company without a conflict of interest arising . Similarly , they should not act as directors of competing companies , as their duties to each company would then conflict with each other . Common law duties of care and skill ( edit ) Traditionally , the level of care and skill which has to be demonstrated by a director has been framed largely with reference to the non-executive director .", "15": "In Re City Equitable Fire Insurance Co ( 1925 ) Ch 407 , it was expressed in purely subjective terms , where the court held that : `` a director need not exhibit in the performance of his duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his knowledge and experience . '' ( emphasis added ) However , this decision was based firmly in the older notions ( see above ) that prevailed at the time as to the mode of corporate decision making , and effective control residing in the shareholders ; if they elected and put up with an incompetent decision maker , they should not have recourse to complain . However , a more modern approach has since developed , and in Dorchester Finance Co Ltd v Stebbing ( 1989 ) BCLC 498 the court held that the rule in Equitable Fire related only to skill , and not to diligence . With respect to diligence , what was required was : `` such care as an ordinary man might be expected to take on his own behalf . '' This was a dual subjective and objective test , and one deliberately pitched at a higher level . More recently , it has been suggested that both the tests of skill and diligence should be assessed objectively and subjectively ; in the United Kingdom , the statutory provisions relating to directors ' duties in the new Companies Act 2006 have been codified on this basis . Remedies for breach of duty ( edit ) In most jurisdictions , the law provides for a variety of remedies in the event of a breach by the directors of their duties : injunction or declaration damages or compensation restoration of the company 's property rescission of the relevant contract account of profits summary dismissal Current trends ( edit ) Historically , directors ' duties have been owed almost exclusively to the company and its members , and the board was expected to exercise its powers for the financial benefit of the company . However , more recently there have been attempts to `` soften '' the position , and provide for more scope for directors to act as good corporate citizens .", "16": "For example , in the United Kingdom , the Companies Act 2006 requires directors of companies `` to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole '' and sets out the following six factors regarding a director 's duty to promote success : the likely consequences of any decision in the long term the interests of the company 's employees the need to foster the company 's business relationships with suppliers , customers and others the impact of the company 's operations on the community and the environment the desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct , and the need to act fairly as between members of a company This represents a considerable departure from the traditional notion that directors ' duties are owed only to the company . Previously in the United Kingdom , under the Companies Act 1985 , protections for non-member stakeholders were considerably more limited ( see for example , s. 309 which permitted directors to take into account the interests of employees but which could only be enforced by the shareholders and not by the employees themselves ) . The changes have therefore been the subject of some criticism . United States ( edit ) Sarbanes -- Oxley Act ( edit ) The Sarbanes -- Oxley Act of 2002 has introduced new standards of accountability on boards of U.S. companies or companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges . Under the Act , directors risk large fines and prison sentences in the case of accounting crimes . Internal control is now the direct responsibility of directors . The vast majority of companies covered by the Act have hired internal auditors to ensure that the company adheres to required standards of internal control . The internal auditors are required by law to report directly to an audit board , consisting of directors more than half of whom are outside directors , one of whom is a `` financial expert . '' The law requires companies listed on the major stock exchanges ( NYSE , NASDAQ ) to have a majority of independent directors -- directors who are not otherwise employed by the firm or in a business relationship with it . Size ( edit ) According to the Corporate Library 's study , the average size of publicly traded company 's board is 9.2 members , and most boards range from 3 to 31 members . According to Investopedia , some analysts think the ideal size is seven .", "17": "State law may specify a minimum number of directors , maximum number of directors , and qualifications for directors ( e.g. whether board members must be individuals or may be business entities ) . Committees ( edit ) While a board may have several committees , two -- the compensation committee and audit committee -- are critical and must be made up of at least three independent directors and no inside directors . Other common committees in boards are nominating and governance . Compensation ( edit ) Directors of Fortune 500 companies received median pay of $234,000 in 2011 . Directorship is a part - time job . A recent National Association of Corporate Directors study found directors averaging just 4.3 hours a week on board work . Surveys indicate that about 20 % of nonprofit foundations pay their board members , and 2 % of American nonprofit organizations do . 80 % of nonprofit organizations require board members to personally contribute to the organization , as BoardSource recommends . This percentage has increased in recent years . Criticism ( edit ) According to John Gillespie , a former investment banker and co-author of a book critical of boards , `` Far too much of their time has been for check - the - box and cover - your - behind activities rather than real monitoring of executives and providing strategic advice on behalf of shareholders '' . At the same time , scholars have found that individual directors have a large effect on major corporate initiatives such as mergers and acquisitions and cross-border investments . The issue of gender representation on corporate boards of directors has been the subject of much criticism in recent years . Governments and corporations have responded with measures such as legislation mandating gender quotas and comply or explain systems to address the disproportionality of gender representation on corporate boards . A study of the French corporate elite has found that certain social classes are also disproportionately represented on boards , with those from the upper and , especially , upper - middle classes tending to dominate .", "18": "See also ( edit ) Alternate director Celebrity board director Chairman Chief executive officer Corporate governance Corporate title Gender representation on corporate boards of directors Interlocking directorate Governing boards of colleges and universities in the United States Managing director Non-executive director Parliamentary procedure in the corporate world President ( corporate title ) Supervisory board ( in German : `` Aufsichtsrat '' ) Trustee Vorstand , German for `` management board '' Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ For example , in the United Kingdom , see section 303 of the Companies Act 1985 .

They formed a new company ( `` Company B '' ) to take the leases of the two new cinemas . But the lessor insisted on various stipulations , one of which was that Company B had to have a paid up share capital of not less than £ 5,000 ( a substantial sum at the time ) .", "19": "Company A was unable to subscribe for more than £ 2,000 in shares , so the directors arranged for the remaining 3,000 shares to be taken by themselves and their friends . Later , instead of selling the undertaking , they sold all of the shares in both companies and made a substantial profit . The shareholders of Company A sued asking that directors and their friends to disgorge the profits that they had made in connection with their 3,000 shares in Company B -- the very same shares which the shareholders in Company A had been asked to subscribe ( through Company A ) but refused to do so .

The canal cuts across the Isthmus of Panama and is a key conduit for international maritime trade . There are locks at each end to lift ships up to Gatun Lake , an artificial lake created to reduce the amount of excavation work required for the canal , 26 m ( 85 ft ) above sea level , and then lower the ships at the other end . The original locks are 34 m ( 110 ft ) wide . A third , wider lane of locks was constructed between September 2007 and May 2016 . The expanded canal began commercial operation on June 26 , 2016 . The new locks allow transit of larger , Post-Panamax ships , capable of handling more cargo . France began work on the canal in 1881 but stopped due to engineering problems and a high worker mortality rate . The United States took over the project in 1904 and opened the canal on August 15 , 1914 . One of the largest and most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken , the Panama Canal shortcut greatly reduced the time for ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans , enabling them to avoid the lengthy , hazardous Cape Horn route around the southernmost tip of South America via the Drake Passage or Strait of Magellan .", "1": "Colombia , France , and later the United States controlled the territory surrounding the canal during construction . The U.S. continued to control the canal and surrounding Panama Canal Zone until the 1977 Torrijos -- Carter Treaties provided for handover to Panama . After a period of joint American -- Panamanian control , in 1999 the canal was taken over by the Panamanian government and is now managed and operated by the government - owned Panama Canal Authority . Annual traffic has risen from about 1,000 ships in 1914 , when the canal opened , to 14,702 vessels in 2008 , for a total of 333.7 million Panama Canal / Universal Measurement System ( PC / UMS ) tons . By 2012 , more than 815,000 vessels had passed through the canal . It takes six to eight hours to pass through the Panama Canal . The American Society of Civil Engineers has called the Panama Canal one of the seven wonders of the modern world .

Early proposals in Panama ( edit ) The earliest mention of a canal across the Isthmus of Panama dates back to 1534 , when Charles V , Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain , ordered a survey for a route through the Americas that would ease the voyage for ships traveling between Spain and Peru . Such a route would have given the Spanish a military advantage over the Portuguese . In 1668 the English physician and philosopher Sir Thomas Browne speculated in his encyclopaedic endeavour Pseudodoxia Epidemica - some Isthmus have been eat through by the Sea , and others cut by the spade : And if policy would permit , that of Panama in America were most worthy the attempt : it being but few miles over , and would open a shorter cut unto the East Indies and China . In 1788 , Thomas Jefferson suggested that the Spanish should create it since it would be a less treacherous route than going around the southern tip of South America , which tropical ocean currents would naturally widen thereafter . During an expedition from 1788 to 1793 , Alessandro Malaspina outlined plans for its construction . Given the strategic location of Panama and the potential offered by its narrow isthmus separating two great oceans , other trade links in the area were attempted over the years . The ill - fated Darien scheme was launched by the Kingdom of Scotland in 1698 to set up an overland trade route . Generally inhospitable conditions thwarted the effort and it was abandoned in April 1700 . The late 18th and early 19th centuries saw a number of canals built . The success of the Erie Canal in the United States and the collapse of the Spanish Empire in Latin America led to a surge of American interest in building an interoceanic canal . Beginning in 1826 , US officials began negotiations with Gran Colombia ( present - day Colombia , Venezuela , Ecuador and Panama ) , hoping to gain a concession for the building of a canal . Jealous of their newly obtained independence and fearing that they would be dominated by an American presence , the president Simon Bolivar and new granadans officials declined American offers . The new nation was politically unstable , and Panama rebelled several times during the 19th century . Another effort was made in 1843 .", "3": "According to the New York Daily Tribune , August 24 , 1843 , a contract was entered into by Barings of London and the Republic of New Granada for the construction of a canal across the Isthmus of Darien ( Isthmus of Panama ) . They referred to it as the Atlantic and Pacific Canal and it was a wholly British endeavor . It was expected to be completed in five years , but the plan was never carried out . At nearly the same time , other ideas were floated , including a canal ( and / or a railroad ) across Mexico 's Isthmus of Tehuantepec . Nothing came of that plan either . In 1846 the Mallarino -- Bidlack Treaty , negotiated between the U.S. and New Granada , granted the United States transit rights and the right to intervene militarily in the isthmus . In 1849 , the discovery of gold in California created great interest in a crossing between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans . The Panama Railway was built by the United States to cross the isthmus and opened in 1855 . This overland link became a vital piece of western hemisphere infrastructure , greatly facilitating trade and largely determining the later canal route . An all - water route between the oceans was still seen as the ideal solution , and in 1855 William Kennish , a Manx - born engineer working for the United States government , surveyed the isthmus and issued a report on a route for a proposed Panama Canal . His report was published as a book entitled The Practicability and Importance of a Ship Canal to Connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans . In 1877 Armand Reclus , an officer with the French Navy , and Lucien Napoléon Bonaparte Wyse , both engineers , surveyed the route and published a French proposal for a canal . French success in building the Suez Canal , while a lengthy project , encouraged planning for one to cross the isthmus . French construction attempts , 1881 -- 1894 ( edit ) Ferdinand de Lesseps Excavator at work , in Bas Obispo , 1886 The first attempt to construct a canal through what was then Colombia 's province of Panama began on January 1 , 1881 .", "4": "The project was inspired by the diplomat Ferdinand de Lesseps , who was able to raise considerable finance in France as a result of the huge profits generated by his successful construction of the Suez Canal . Although the Panama Canal would eventually have to be only 40 % as long as the Suez Canal , the former would prove to be far more of an engineering challenge , due to the tropical rain forests , the climate , the need for canal locks , and the lack of any ancient route to follow . De Lesseps wanted a sea - level canal as at Suez but only visited the site a few times , during the dry season which lasts only four months of the year . His men were totally unprepared for the rainy season , during which the Chagres River , where the canal started , became a raging torrent , rising up to 10 meters ( 35 feet ) . The dense jungle was alive with venomous snakes , insects and spiders , but the worst aspect was the yellow fever and malaria ( and other tropical diseases ) which killed thousands of workers : by 1884 the death rate was over 200 per month . Public health measures were ineffective because the role of the mosquito as a disease vector was then unknown . Conditions were downplayed in France to avoid recruitment problems , but the high mortality rate made it difficult to maintain an experienced workforce . Workers had to continually widen the main cut through the mountain at Culebra and reduce the angles of the slopes to minimize landslides into the canal . Steam shovels were used in the construction of the canal , and they were purchased from Bay City Industrial Works , a business owned by William L. Clements in Bay City , Michigan . Other mechanical and electrical equipment was limited in its capabilities , and steel equipment rusted rapidly in the climate . In France , de Lesseps kept the investment and supply of workers flowing long after it was obvious that the targets were not being met , but eventually the money ran out . The French effort went bankrupt in 1889 after reportedly spending US $287,000,000 and losing an estimated 22,000 lives to disease and accidents , wiping out the savings of 800,000 investors . Work was suspended on May 15 , and in the ensuing scandal , known as the Panama affair , various of those deemed responsible were prosecuted , including Gustave Eiffel .", "5": "De Lesseps and his son Charles were found guilty of misappropriation of funds and sentenced to five years ' imprisonment , though this was later overturned , and the father , at 88 , was never imprisoned . In 1894 , a second French company , the Compagnie Nouvelle du Canal de Panama , was created to take over the project . A minimal workforce of a few thousand people was employed primarily to comply with the terms of the Colombian Panama Canal concession , to run the Panama Railroad , and to maintain the existing excavation and equipment in salable condition . The company sought a buyer for these assets , with an asking price of US $109,000,000 . In the meantime they continued with enough activity to maintain their franchise . Phillipe Bunau - Varilla , the French manager of the New Panama Canal Company , eventually managed to persuade de Lesseps that a lock - and - lake canal was more realistic than a sea - level canal . United States acquisition ( edit ) The U.S. 's intentions to influence the area ( especially the Panama Canal construction and control ) led to the separation of Panama from Colombia in 1903 The Culebra Cut , or Gaillard Cut , in 1896 The Culebra Cut in 1902 At this time , the President and the Senate of the United States were interested in establishing a canal across the isthmus , with some favoring a canal across Nicaragua and others advocating the purchase of the French interests in Panama . Bunau - Varilla , who was seeking American involvement , asked for $100 million , but accepted $40 million in the face of the Nicaraguan option . In June 1902 , the U.S. Senate voted in favor of pursuing the Panamanian option , provided the necessary rights could be obtained , in the Spooner Act . On January 22 , 1903 , the Hay -- Herrán Treaty was signed by United States Secretary of State John M. Hay and Colombian Chargé Dr. Tomás Herrán . For $10 million and an annual payment it would have granted the United States a renewable lease in perpetuity from Colombia on the land proposed for the canal . The treaty was ratified by the U.S. Senate on March 14 , 1903 , but the Senate of Colombia did not ratify it .", "6": "Bunau - Varilla told President Theodore Roosevelt and Hay of a possible revolt by Panamanian rebels who aimed to separate from Colombia , and hoped that the United States would support the rebels with U.S. troops and money . Roosevelt changed tactics , based in part on the Mallarino -- Bidlack Treaty of 1846 , and actively supported the separation of Panama from Colombia and , shortly after recognizing Panama , signed a treaty with the new Panamanian government under similar terms to the Hay -- Herrán Treaty . On November 2 , 1903 , U.S. warships blocked sea lanes for possible Colombian troop movements en route to put down the rebellion . Panama declared independence on November 3 , 1903 . The United States quickly recognized the new nation . On November 6 , 1903 , Philippe Bunau - Varilla , as Panama 's ambassador to the United States , signed the Hay -- Bunau - Varilla Treaty , granting rights to the United States to build and indefinitely administer the Panama Canal Zone and its defenses . This is sometimes misinterpreted as the `` 99 - year lease '' because of misleading wording included in article 22 of the agreement . Almost immediately , the treaty was condemned by many Panamanians as an infringement on their country 's new national sovereignty . This would later become a contentious diplomatic issue among Colombia , Panama , and the United States . President Roosevelt famously stated that `` I took the Isthmus , started the canal and then left Congress not to debate the canal , but to debate me . '' Several parties in the United States called this an act of war on Colombia : The New York Times called the support given by the United States to Bunau - Varilla an `` act of sordid conquest . '' The New York Evening Post called it a `` vulgar and mercenary venture . '' It is often cited as the classic example of U.S. gunboat diplomacy in Latin America , and the best illustration of what Roosevelt meant by the old African adage , `` Speak softly and carry a big stick ( and ) you will go far . '' After the revolution in 1903 , the Republic of Panama became a U.S. protectorate until 1939 .", "7": "Thus in 1904 , the United States purchased the French equipment and excavations , including the Panama Railroad , for US $40 million , of which $30 million related to excavations completed , primarily in the Gaillard Cut ( then called the Culebra Cut ) , valued at about $1.00 per cubic yard . The United States also paid the new country of Panama $10 million and a $250,000 payment each following year . In 1921 , Colombia and the United States entered into the Thomson - Urrutia Treaty , in which the United States agreed to pay Colombia $25 million : $5 million upon ratification , and four - $5 million annual payments , and grant Colombia special privileges in the Canal Zone . In return , Colombia recognized Panama as an independent nation . United States construction of the Panama Canal , 1904 -- 1914 ( edit ) Construction of locks on the Panama Canal , 1913 The U.S. formally took control of the canal property on May 4 , 1904 , inheriting from the French a depleted workforce and a vast jumble of buildings , infrastructure and equipment , much of it in poor condition . A U.S. government commission , the Isthmian Canal Commission ( ICC ) , was established to oversee construction and was given control of the Panama Canal Zone , over which the United States exercised sovereignty . The commission reported directly to Secretary of War William Howard Taft and was directed to avoid the inefficiency and corruption that had plagued the French 15 years earlier . John Frank Stevens On May 6 , 1904 , President Theodore Roosevelt appointed John Findley Wallace , formerly chief engineer and finally general manager of the Illinois Central Railroad , as chief engineer of the Panama Canal Project . Overwhelmed by the disease - plagued country and forced to use often dilapidated French infrastructure and equipment , as well as being frustrated by the overly bureaucratic ICC , Wallace resigned abruptly in June 1905 . He was succeeded by John Frank Stevens , a self - educated engineer who had built the Great Northern Railroad . Stevens was not a member of the ICC ; he increasingly viewed its bureaucracy as a serious hindrance , bypassing the commission and sending requests and demands directly to the Roosevelt Administration in Washington .", "8": "One of Stevens ' first achievements in Panama was in building and rebuilding the housing , cafeterias , hotels , water systems , repair shops , warehouses , and other infrastructure needed by the thousands of incoming workers . Stevens began the recruitment effort to entice thousands of workers from the United States and other areas to come to the Canal Zone to work , and tried to provide accommodation in which the incoming workers could work and live in reasonable safety and comfort . He also re-established and enlarged the railway that was to prove crucial in transporting millions of tons of soil from the cut through the mountains to the dam across the Chagres River . William C. Gorgas Colonel William C. Gorgas had been appointed chief sanitation officer of the canal construction project in 1904 . Gorgas implemented a range of measures to minimize the spread of deadly diseases , particularly yellow fever and malaria which had recently been shown to be mosquito - borne following the work of Dr. Carlos Finlay and Dr. Walter Reed . There was investment in extensive sanitation projects , including city water systems , fumigation of buildings , spraying of insect - breeding areas with oil and larvicide , installation of mosquito netting and window screens , and elimination of stagnant water . Despite opposition from the Commission ( one member said his ideas were barmy ) , Gorgas persisted and when Stevens arrived , he threw his weight behind the project . After two years of extensive work , the mosquito - spread diseases were nearly eliminated . Nevertheless , even with all this effort , about 5,600 workers died of disease and accidents during the U.S. construction phase of the canal . President Theodore Roosevelt sitting on a steam shovel at Culebra Cut , 1906 Construction work on the Gaillard Cut is shown in this photograph from 1907 In 1905 , a U.S. engineering panel was commissioned to review the canal design , which still had not been finalized . It recommended to President Roosevelt a sea - level canal , as had been attempted by the French . However , in 1906 Stevens , who had seen the Chagres in full flood , was summoned to Washington and declared a sea - level approach to be `` an entirely untenable proposition '' . He argued in favor of a canal using a lock system to raise and lower ships from a large reservoir 85 ft ( 26 m ) above sea level .", "9": "This would create both the largest dam ( Gatun Dam ) and the largest man - made lake ( Gatun Lake ) in the world at that time . The water to refill the locks would be taken from Gatun Lake by opening and closing enormous gates and valves and letting gravity propel the water from the lake . Gatun Lake would connect to the Pacific through the mountains at the Gaillard ( Culebra ) Cut . Stevens successfully convinced Roosevelt of the necessity and feasibility of the alternative scheme . The construction of a canal with locks required the excavation of more than 170,000,000 cu yd ( 130,000,000 m ) of material over and above the 30,000,000 cu yd ( 23,000,000 m ) excavated by the French . As quickly as possible , the Americans replaced or upgraded the old , unusable French equipment with new construction equipment that was designed for a much larger and faster scale of work . About 102 new large , railroad - mounted steam shovels were purchased from the Marion Power Shovel Company and brought from the United States . These were joined by enormous steam - powered cranes , giant hydraulic rock crushers , cement mixers , dredges , and pneumatic power drills , nearly all of which were manufactured by new , extensive machine - building technology developed and built in the United States . The railroad also had to be comprehensively upgraded with heavy - duty , double - tracked rails over most of the line to accommodate new rolling stock . In many places , the new Gatun Lake flooded over the original rail line , and a new line had to be constructed above Gatun Lake 's waterline .

Most freedmen preferred not to do plantation work anymore , and the sugar industries gradually declined . The white colonial elites and mulatto middle classes managed to reconstruct the social hierarchy so that the blacks remained at the bottom . In such a precarious position , black freedmen had to take any jobs that appeared , including those abroad . Thus , began the trans - Caribbean migration phase of the diaspora . The California gold rush of 1849 rekindled interest in a modern transportation route across Central America and spurred larger migrations of these freedmen . Two crossings were developed , Vanderbilt 's steamship and stage line in Nicaragua and the New York - based Panama Railroad . Both enterprises used imported labor , largely Jamaican . Some 5,000 eventually worked on the Panama railroad line . The projects proved that the West Indian blacks resisted tropical diseases better than other workers and they were available in large numbers due to the islands ' depressed economies . Caribbean migration on a large scale would resume again in the 1880s as a result of two developments , the French canal project and the spread of banana cultivation . The French company employed over 50,000 West Indians ( again mainly Jamaicans ) during its unsuccessful bid to build the canal across the isthmus . Banana cultivation also proved a boon to the region 's economy after the 1880s , expanding commercial agriculture and inducing thousands more to migrate . By the early twentieth century , the United Fruit Company operated a string of banana ports , including Puerto Limon ( Costa Rica ) and Bocas del Toro ( Panama ) . During the construction of the Panama Canal by the Americans ( 1904 - 1914 ) , the West Indian migrations to Panama constituted a demographic tidal wave , the largest yet in Caribbean history . Officially , canal authorities brought over 31,000 West Indian men and a few women . But in fact , contemporaries estimated that between 150,000 and 200,000 men and women must have migrated during the decade 1904 - 1914 . Most did not plan to stay in Panama .", "11": "Eventually though , tens of thousands remained on the isthmus because the islands offered few opportunities that could compete with the pay and benefits available in Panama . The West Indians settled , married , had children , and became the largest immigrant group in the sparsely populated country . The descendants of these immigrants are known today as Afro - Panamanians . George Washington Goethals replaces John Frank Stevens as chief engineer ( edit ) General George Washington Goethals In 1907 , Stevens resigned as chief engineer . His replacement , appointed by President Theodore Roosevelt , was U.S. Army Major George Washington Goethals of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ( soon to be promoted to lieutenant colonel and later to General ) , a strong , United States Military Academy -- trained leader and civil engineer with experience of canals ( unlike Stevens ) . Goethals would direct the work in Panama to a successful conclusion in 1914 , two years ahead of the target date of June 10 , 1916 . Goethals divided the engineering and excavation work into three divisions : Atlantic , Central , and Pacific . The Atlantic Division , under Major William L. Sibert , was responsible for construction of the massive breakwater at the entrance to Limon Bay , the Gatun locks and their 31⁄2 mi ( 5.6 km ) approach channel , and the immense Gatun Dam . The Pacific Division , under Sydney B. Williamson ( the only civilian member of this high - level team ) , was similarly responsible for the Pacific 3 mi ( 4.8 km ) breakwater in Panama Bay , the approach channel to the locks , and the Miraflores and Pedro Miguel locks and their associated dams and reservoirs . Spanish laborers working on the Panama Canal in early 1900s The Central Division , under Major David du Bose Gaillard of the United States Army Corps of Engineers , was assigned one of the most difficult parts : excavating the Culebra Cut through the continental divide to connect Gatun Lake to the Pacific Panama Canal locks . On October 10 , 1913 , President Woodrow Wilson sent a signal from the White House by telegraph which triggered the explosion that destroyed the Gamboa Dike . This flooded the Culebra Cut , thereby joining the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans .", "12": "Alexandre La Valley ( a floating crane built by Lobnitz & Company , and launched in 1887 ) was the first self - propelled vessel to transit the canal from ocean to ocean . This vessel crossed the canal from the Atlantic in stages during construction , finally reaching the Pacific on January 7 , 1914 . SS Cristobal ( a cargo and passenger ship built by Maryland Steel , and launched in 1902 as SS Tremont ) was the first ship to transit the canal from ocean to ocean on August 3 , 1914 . The construction of the canal was completed in 1914 , 401 years after Panama was first crossed by Vasco Núñez de Balboa . The United States spent almost $500,000,000 ( roughly equivalent to $9,169,650,000 now ) to finish the project . This was by far the largest American engineering project to date . The canal was formally opened on August 15 , 1914 , with the passage of the cargo ship SS Ancon . The opening of Panama Canal in 1914 caused a severe drop in traffic along Chilean ports due to shifts in the maritime trade routes . A Marion steam shovel excavating the Panama Canal in 1908 The Panama Canal locks under construction in 1910 The first ship to transit the canal , the SS Ancon , passes through on 15 August 1914 Throughout this time , Ernest `` Red '' Hallen was hired by the Isthmian Canal Commission to document the progress of the work . Later developments ( edit ) See also : § Third set of locks project ( expansion ) USS Missouri passes through the canal in 1945 . The Iowa - class battleships were designed to be narrow enough to fit through . By the 1930s it was seen that water supply would be an issue for the canal ; this prompted the building of the Madden Dam across the Chagres River above Gatun Lake . Completed in 1935 , the dam created Madden Lake ( later Alajeula Lake ) which provides additional water storage for the canal . In 1939 , construction began on a further major improvement : a new set of locks for the canal , large enough to carry the larger warships that the United States was building at the time and planned to continue building .", "13": "The work proceeded for several years , and significant excavation was carried out on the new approach channels , but the project was canceled after World War II . Statement on the Panama Canal Treaty Signing Jimmy Carter 's speech upon signing the Panama Canal treaty , 7 September 1977 Problems playing this file ? See media help . After World War II , U.S. control of the canal and the Canal Zone surrounding it became contentious ; relations between Panama and the United States became increasingly tense . Many Panamanians felt that the Canal Zone rightfully belonged to Panama ; student protests were met by the fencing - in of the zone and an increased military presence there . Demands for the United States to hand over the canal to Panama increased after the Suez Crisis in 1956 , when the United States used financial and diplomatic pressure to force France and the UK to abandon their attempt to retake control of the Suez Canal , previously nationalized by the Nasser regime in Egypt . Unrest culminated in riots on Martyr 's Day , January 9 , 1964 , when about 20 Panamanians and 3 -- 5 U.S. soldiers were killed . A decade later , in 1974 , negotiations toward a settlement began and resulted in the Torrijos -- Carter Treaties . On September 7 , 1977 , the treaty was signed by President of the United States Jimmy Carter and Omar Torrijos , de facto leader of Panama . This mobilized the process of granting the Panamanians free control of the canal so long as Panama signed a treaty guaranteeing the permanent neutrality of the canal . The treaty led to full Panamanian control effective at noon on December 31 , 1999 , and the Panama Canal Authority ( ACP ) assumed command of the waterway . The Panama Canal remains one of the chief revenue sources for Panama . Before this handover , the government of Panama held an international bid to negotiate a 25 - year contract for operation of the container shipping ports located at the canal 's Atlantic and Pacific outlets . The contract was not affiliated with the ACP or Panama Canal operations and was won by the firm Hutchison Whampoa , a Hong Kong -- based shipping interest owned by Li Ka - shing .", "14": "Canal ( edit ) Layout ( edit ) ( hide ) Panama Canal Legend km mi Atlantic Ocean ( Caribbean Sea ) 0 Atlantic Entrance , Manzanillo Bay Breakwater entrance 8.7 5.4 ( show ) Port of Colón ( Cristóbal ) Colón , cruise terminal , MIT , Free Trade Zone , airport Cristóbal harbor , Atlantic passenger station Third Bridge or Atlantic bridge 1.9 1.2 Gatun Locks 3 chambers , + 26 m ( 85 ft ) new Agua Clara Locks ( 3 chambers ; water saving basins ) Gatun Dam , Chagres River hydroelectricity ( 22.5 MW ) , spillway 24.2 15.0 Gatun Lake Gatún River , causeway , Monte Lirio bridge 8.5 5.3 Gamboa Chagres River , Madden Dam , Alajuela Lake with hydroelectricity ( 36 MW ) 12.6 7.8 Culebra Cut ( Gaillard Cut ) Continental watershed , summit Centennial Bridge ( Pan-American Highway , via Panama City ) 1.4 0.9 Pedro Miguel Locks 1 chamber , + 9.5 m ( 31 ft ) new Cocoli Locks ( 3 chambers ; water saving basins ) 1.7 1.1 Miraflores Lake 1.7 1.1 Miraflores Locks 2 chambers , + 16.5 m ( 54 ft ) ; spillway 13.2 8.2 ( show ) Port of Balboa Diablo , Corozal passenger station , Airport , Rail terminal Balboa total Bridge of the Americas ( Arraiján -- Panama City ) 77.1 47.9 Pacific Entrance Pacific Ocean ( Gulf of Panama ) Legend Navigable canal ( maximum draft : 39.5 feet ( 12.0 m ) ) Non-navigable water Dock , industrial or logistical area Water flow direction Panama Canal Railway ( passenger station , freight station ) City ,", "15": "village or town While globally the Atlantic Ocean is east of the isthmus and the Pacific is west , the general direction of the canal passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific is from northwest to southeast . This is because of a local anomaly in the shape of the isthmus at the point the canal occupies . The Bridge of the Americas ( Spanish : Puente de las Américas ) at the Pacific side is about a third of a degree east of the Colón end on the Atlantic side . Still , in formal nautical communications , the simplified directions `` Southbound '' and `` Northbound '' are used . The canal consists of artificial lakes , several improved and artificial channels , and three sets of locks . An additional artificial lake , Alajuela Lake ( known during the American era as Madden Lake ) , acts as a reservoir for the canal . The layout of the canal as seen by a ship passing from the Atlantic to the Pacific is as follows : From the formal marking line of the Atlantic Entrance , one enters Limón Bay ( Bahía Limón ) , a large natural harbor . The entrance runs 51⁄2 mi ( 8.4 km ) . It provides a deepwater port ( Cristóbal ) , with facilities like multimodal cargo exchange ( to and from train ) and the Colón Free Trade Zone ( a free port ) . A 2 mi ( 3.2 km ) channel forms the approach to the locks from the Atlantic side . The Gatun Locks , a three - stage flight of locks 11⁄4 mi ( 1.9 km ) long , lifts ships to the Gatun Lake level , some 87 ft ( 27 m ) above sea level . Gatun Lake , an artificial lake formed by the building of the Gatun Dam , carries vessels 15 mi ( 24 km ) across the isthmus . It is the summit canal stretch , fed by the Gatun River and emptied by basic lock operations . From the lake , the Chagres River , a natural waterway enhanced by the damming of Gatun Lake , runs about 51⁄4 mi ( 8.5 km ) . Here the upper Chagres River feeds the high level canal stretch .", "16": "The Culebra Cut slices 73⁄4 mi ( 12.4 km ) through the mountain ridge , crosses the continental divide and passes under the Centennial Bridge . The single - stage Pedro Miguel Lock , which is 7⁄8 mi ( 1.4 km ) long , is the first part of the descent with a lift of 31 ft ( 9.4 m ) . The artificial Miraflores Lake 11⁄8 mi ( 1.7 km ) long , and 54 ft ( 16 m ) above sea level . The two - stage Miraflores Locks is 11⁄8 mi ( 1.7 km ) long , with a total descent of 54 ft ( 16 m ) at mid-tide . From the Miraflores Locks one reaches Balboa harbor , again with multimodal exchange provision ( here the railway meets the shipping route again ) . Nearby is Panama City . From this harbor an entrance / exit channel leads to the Pacific Ocean ( Gulf of Panama ) , 81⁄4 mi ( 13.2 km ) from the Miraflores Locks , passing under the Bridge of the Americas . Thus , the total length of the canal is 50 miles .

At the time it was formed , Gatun Lake was the largest human - made lake in the world . The impassable rainforest around the lake has been the best defense of the Panama Canal . Today these areas remain practically unscathed by human interference and are one of the few accessible areas where various native Central American animal and plant species can be observed undisturbed in their natural habitat . The largest island on Gatun Lake is Barro Colorado Island . It was established for scientific study when the lake was formed , and is operated by the Smithsonian Institution . Many important scientific and biological discoveries of the tropical animal and plant kingdom originated here . Gatun Lake covers about 470 square kilometres ( 180 sq mi ) , a vast tropical ecological zone and part of the Atlantic Forest Corridor .", "20": "Ecotourism on the lake has become an industry for Panamanians . Gatun Lake also provides drinking water for Panama City and Colón . Fishing is one of the primary recreational pursuits on Gatun Lake . Non-native peacock bass were introduced by accident to Gatun Lake around 1967 by a local businessman , and have since flourished to become the dominant angling game fish in Gatun Lake . Locally called Sargento and believed to be the species Cichla pleiozona , these peacock bass originate from the Amazon , Rio Negro , and Orinoco river basins , where they are considered a premier game fish . Lock size ( edit ) Main article : Panama Canal locks Miter lock gate at Gatún Lock gate at Miraflores The size of the locks determines the maximum size ship that can pass through . Because of the importance of the canal to international trade , many ships are built to the maximum size allowed . These are known as Panamax vessels . A Panamax cargo ship typically has a deadweight tonnage ( DWT ) of 65,000 -- 80,000 tonnes , but its actual cargo is restricted to about 52,500 tonnes because of the 12.6 m ( 41.2 ft ) draft restrictions within the canal . The longest ship ever to transit the canal was the San Juan Prospector ( now Marcona Prospector ) , an ore - bulk - oil carrier that is 296.57 m ( 973 ft ) long with a beam of 32.31 m ( 106 ft ) . Initially the locks at Gatun were designed to be 28.5 m ( 94 ft ) wide . In 1908 , the United States Navy requested that an increased width of at least 36 m ( 118 ft ) to allow the passage of U.S. Naval ships . Eventually a compromise was made and the locks were built 33.53 m ( 110.0 ft ) wide . Each lock is 320 m ( 1,050 ft ) long , with the walls ranging in thickness from 15 m ( 49 ft ) at the base to 3 m ( 9.8 ft ) at the top .", "21": "The central wall between the parallel locks at Gatun is 18 m ( 59 ft ) thick and over 24 m ( 79 ft ) high . The steel lock gates measure an average of 2 m ( 6.6 ft ) thick , 19.5 m ( 64 ft ) wide , and 20 m ( 66 ft ) high . It is the size of the locks , specifically the Pedro Miguel Locks , along with the height of the Bridge of the Americas at Balboa , that determine the Panamax metric and limit the size of ships that may use the canal . The 2006 third set of locks project has created larger locks , allowing bigger ships to transit through deeper and wider channels . The allowed dimensions of ships using these locks increased by 25 % in length , 51 % in beam , and 26 % in draft , as defined by New Panamax metrics . Tolls ( edit ) Roll - on / roll - off ships , such as this one pictured here at Miraflores locks , are among the largest ships to pass through the canal . Tolls for the canal are set by the Panama Canal Authority and are based on vessel type , size , and the type of cargo . For container ships , the toll is assessed on the ship 's capacity expressed in twenty - foot equivalent units ( TEUs ) , one TEU being the size of a standard intermodal shipping container . Effective April 1 , 2016 , this toll went from US $74.00 per loaded container to $60.00 per TEU capacity plus $30.00 per loaded container for a potential $90 per TEU when the ship is full . A Panamax container ship may carry up to 4,400 TEU . The toll is calculated differently for passenger ships and for container ships carrying no cargo ( `` in ballast '' ) . As of April 1 , 2016 , the ballast rate is US $60.00 , down from US $65.60 per TEU . Passenger vessels in excess of 30,000 tons ( PC / UMS ) , known popularly as cruise ships , pay a rate based on the number of berths , that is , the number of passengers that can be accommodated in permanent beds .", "22": "The per - berth charge since April 1 , 2016 is $111 for unoccupied berths and $138 for occupied berths in the Panamax locks . Started in 2007 , this fee has greatly increased the tolls for such ships . Passenger vessels of less than 30,000 tons or less than 33 tons per passenger are charged according to the same per - ton schedule as are freighters . Almost all major cruise ships have more than 33 tons per passenger ; the rule of thumb for cruise line comfort is generally given as a minimum of 40 tons per passenger . Most other types of vessel pay a toll per PC / UMS net ton , in which one `` ton '' is actually a volume of 100 cubic feet ( 2.83 m ) . ( The calculation of tonnage for commercial vessels is quite complex . ) As of fiscal year 2016 , this toll is US $5.25 per ton for the first 10,000 tons , US $5.14 per ton for the next 10,000 tons , and US $5.06 per ton thereafter . As with container ships , reduced tolls are charged for freight ships `` in ballast '' , $4.19 , $4.12 , $4.05 respectively . On 1 April 2016 , a more complicated toll system was introduced , having the neopanamax locks at a higher rate in some cases , natural gas transport as a new separate category and other changes . As of October 1 , 2017 , there are modified tolls and categories of tolls in effect .", "23": "Small ( less than 125 ft ) vessels up to 583 PC / UMS net tons when carrying passengers or cargo , or up to 735 PC / UMS net tons when in ballast , or up to 1,048 fully loaded displacement tons , are assessed minimum tolls based upon their length overall , according to the following table ( as of 29 April 2015 ) : Length of vessel Toll Up to 15.240 meters ( 50 ft ) US $800 More than 15.240 meters ( 50 ft ) up to 24.384 meters ( 80 ft ) US $1,300 More than 24.384 meters ( 80 ft ) up to 30.480 meters ( 100 ft ) US $2,000 More than 30.480 meters ( 100 ft ) US $3,200 INTRA MARITIME CLUSTER - Local Tourism More than 24.384 meters ( 80 ft ) US $2,000 plus $72 / TEU Morgan Adams of Los Angeles , California , holds the distinction of paying the first toll received by the United States Government for the use of the Panama Canal by a pleasure boat . His boat Lasata passed through the Zone on August 14 , 1914 . The crossing occurred during a 6,000 - mile sea voyage from Jacksonville , Florida , to Los Angeles in 1914 . The most expensive regular toll for canal passage to date was charged on April 14 , 2010 to the cruise ship Norwegian Pearl , which paid US $375,600 . The average toll is around US $54,000 . The highest fee for priority passage charged through the Transit Slot Auction System was US $220,300 , paid on August 24 , 2006 , by the Panamax tanker Erikoussa , bypassing a 90 - ship queue waiting for the end of maintenance work on the Gatun Locks , and thus avoiding a seven - day delay . The normal fee would have been just US $13,430 . The lowest toll ever paid was 36 cents ( equivalent to $5.13 in 2017 ) , by American Richard Halliburton who swam the Panama Canal in 1928 . In the Warner Bros.", "24": "cartoon , Eight Ball Bunny , Bugs Bunny attempted to bring a penguin `` home '' to the South Pole .

'' Issues leading to expansion ( edit ) Panorama of Pacific entrance of the canal . Left : Pacific Ocean and Puente de las Americas ( Bridge of Pan-American Highway ) ; far right : Miraflores locks . In the 100 + years since its opening , the canal continues to enjoy great success . Even though world shipping -- and the size of ships themselves -- has changed markedly since the canal was designed , it continues to be a vital link in world trade , carrying more cargo than ever before , with fewer overhead costs . Nevertheless , the canal faces a number of potential concerns . Efficiency and maintenance ( edit ) Opponents to the 1977 Torrijos - Carter Treaties feared that efficiency and maintenance would suffer following the U.S. withdrawal from the Panama Canal Zone ; however , this has been proven not to be the case . Capitalizing on practices developed during the American administration , canal operations are improving under Panamanian control . Canal Waters Time ( CWT ) , the average time it takes a vessel to navigate the canal , including waiting time , is a key measure of efficiency ; according to the ACP , since 2000 , it has ranged between 20 and 30 hours . The accident rate has also not changed appreciably in the past decade , varying between 10 and 30 accidents each year from about 14,000 total annual transits . An official accident is one in which a formal investigation is requested and conducted . Increasing volumes of imports from Asia , which previously landed on U.S. West Coast ports , are now passing through the canal to the American East Coast . The total number of ocean - going transits increased from 11,725 in 2003 to 13,233 in 2007 , falling to 12,855 in 2009 . ( The canal 's fiscal year runs from October through September . )", "25": "This has been coupled with a steady rise in average ship size and in the numbers of Panamax vessels passing through the canal , so that the total tonnage carried rose from 227.9 million PC / UMS tons in fiscal year 1999 to a then record high of 312.9 million tons in 2007 , and falling to 299.1 million tons in 2009 . Tonnage for fiscal 2013 , 2014 and 2015 was 320.6 , 326.8 and 340.8 million PC / UMS tons carried on 13,660 , 13,481 and 13,874 transits respectively . The Panama Canal Authority ( ACP ) has invested nearly US $1 billion in widening and modernizing the canal , with the aim of increasing capacity by 20 % . The ACP cites a number of major improvements , including the widening and straightening of the Gaillard Cut to reduce restrictions on passing vessels , the deepening of the navigational channel in Gatun Lake to reduce draft restrictions and improve water supply , and the deepening of the Atlantic and Pacific entrances to the canal . This is supported by new equipment , such as a new drill barge and suction dredger , and an increase of the tug boat fleet by 20 % . In addition , improvements have been made to the canal 's operating machinery , including an increased and improved tug locomotive fleet , the replacement of more than 16 km ( 10 mi ) of locomotive track , and new lock machinery controls . Improvements have been made to the traffic management system to allow more efficient control over ships in the canal . In December 2010 , record - breaking rains caused a 17 - hour closure of the canal ; this was the first closure since the United States invasion of Panama in 1989 . The rains also caused an access road to the Centenario Bridge to collapse . Capacity ( edit ) The canal is currently handling more vessel traffic than had ever been envisioned by its builders . In 1934 it was estimated that the maximum capacity of the canal would be around 80 million tons per year ; as noted above , canal traffic in 2015 reached 340.8 million tons of shipping .", "26": "Gatun Lake provides the water to raise and lower vessels in the Canal , gravity fed into each set of locks To improve capacity , a number of improvements have been made to the current canal system . These improvements aim to maximize the possible use of current locking system : Implementation of an enhanced locks lighting system ; Construction of two tie - up stations in Gaillard Cut ; Widening Gaillard Cut from 192 to 218 meters ( 630 to 715 ft ) ; Improvements to the tugboat fleet ; Implementation of the carousel lockage system in Gatun locks ; Development of an improved vessel scheduling system ; Deepening of Gatun Lake navigational channels from 10.4 to 11.3 meters ( 34 to 37 ft ) PLD ; Modification of all locks structures to allow an additional draft of about 0.30 meters ( 1 ft ) ; Deepening of the Pacific and Atlantic entrances ; Construction of a new spillway in Gatun , for flood control . These improvements enlarged the capacity from 300 million PCUMS ( 2008 ) to 340 PCUMS ( 2012 ) . It should be noted that these improvements were started before the new locks project , and are complementary to it . Competition ( edit ) Despite having enjoyed a privileged position for many years , the canal is increasingly facing competition from other quarters . Because canal tolls have risen as ships have become larger , some critics have suggested that the Suez Canal is now a viable alternative for cargo en route from Asia to the U.S. East Coast . The Panama Canal , however , continues to serve more than 144 of the world 's trade routes and the majority of canal traffic comes from the `` all - water route '' from Asia to the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts . On June 15 , 2013 , Nicaragua awarded the Hong Kong - based HKND Group a 50 - year concession to develop a canal through the country . The increasing rate of melting of ice in the Arctic Ocean has led to speculation that the Northwest Passage or Arctic Bridge may become viable for commercial shipping at some point in the future . This route would save 9,300 km ( 5,800 mi ) on the route from Asia to Europe compared with the Panama Canal , possibly leading to a diversion of some traffic to that route .", "27": "However , such a route is beset by unresolved territorial issues and would still hold significant problems owing to ice . Water issues ( edit ) Gatun locks showing the `` mule '' locomotives at work Gatun Lake is filled with rainwater , and the lake accumulates excess water during wet months . The water is lost to the oceans at a rate of 101,000 m ( 26,700,000 US gal ; 22,200,000 imp gal ) per downward lock cycle . Since a ship will have to go upward to Gatun Lake first and then descend , a single passing will cost double the amount ; but the same waterflow cycle can be used for another ship passing in the opposite direction . The ship 's submerged volume is not relevant to this amount of water . During the dry season , when there is less rainfall , there is also a shortfall of water in Gatun Lake . As a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact and member of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development , the ACP has developed an environmentally and socially sustainable program for expansion , which will protect the aquatic and terrestrial resources of the canal watershed . After completion , expansion will guarantee the availability and quality of water resources by using water - saving basins at each new lock . These water - saving basins will diminish water loss and preserve freshwater resources along the waterway by reusing water from the basins into the locks . Each lock chamber will have three water - saving basins , which will reuse 60 % of the water in each transit . There are a total of nine basins for each of the two lock complexes , and a total of 18 basins for the entire project . The mean sea level at the Pacific side is about 20 cm ( 8 in ) higher than that of the Atlantic side due to differences in ocean conditions such as water densities and weather . Third set of locks project ( expansion ) ( edit ) Main article : Panama Canal expansion project New Panama Canal expansion project . July 2015 New Agua Clara locks ( Atlantic side ) Canal lock sizes As demand is rising for efficient global shipping of goods , the canal is positioned to be a significant feature of world shipping for the foreseeable future . However , changes in shipping patterns -- particularly the increasing numbers of larger - than - Panamax ships -- necessitated changes to the canal for it to retain a significant market share .", "28": "In 2006 it was anticipated that by 2011 , 37 % of the world 's container ships would be too large for the present canal , and hence a failure to expand would result in a significant loss of market share . The maximum sustainable capacity of the original canal , given some relatively minor improvement work , was estimated at 340 million PC / UMS tons per year ; it was anticipated that this capacity would be reached between 2009 and 2012 . Close to 50 % of transiting vessels were already using the full width of the locks . An enlargement scheme similar to the 1939 Third Lock Scheme , to allow for a greater number of transits and the ability to handle larger ships , had been under consideration for some time , was approved by the government of Panama , The cost was estimated at US $5.25 billion , and the expansion allowed to double the canal 's capacity , allowing more traffic and the passage of longer and wider Post-Panamax ships . The proposal to expand the canal was approved in a national referendum by about 80 % on October 22 , 2006 . The canal expansion was built between 2007 and 2016 , though completion was originally expected by the end of 2014 . The expansion plan had two new flights of locks built parallel to , and operated in addition to , the old locks : one east of the existing Gatun locks , and one southwest of the Miraflores locks , each supported by approach channels . Each flight ascends from sea level directly to the level of Gatun Lake ; the existing two - stage ascent at Miraflores and Pedro Miguel locks was not replicated . The new lock chambers feature sliding gates , doubled for safety , and are 427 m ( 1,400 ft ) long , 55 m ( 180 ft ) wide , and 18.3 m ( 60 ft ) deep . This allows the transit of vessels with a beam of up to 49 m ( 160 ft ) , an overall length of up to 366 m ( 1,200 ft ) and a draft of up to 15 m ( 49 ft ) , equivalent to a container ship carrying around 12,000 containers , each 6.1 m ( 20 ft ) in length ( TEU ) .", "29": "The new locks are supported by new approach channels , including a 6.2 km ( 3.9 mi ) channel at Miraflores from the locks to the Gaillard Cut , skirting Miraflores Lake . Each of these channels are 218 m ( 720 ft ) wide , which will require post-Panamax vessels to navigate the channels in one direction at a time . The Gaillard Cut and the channel through Gatun Lake were widened to at least 280 m ( 920 ft ) on the straight portions and at least 366 m ( 1,200 ft ) on the bends . The maximum level of Gatun Lake was raised from 26.7 m ( 88 ft ) to 27.1 m ( 89 ft ) . Each flight of locks is accompanied by nine water reutilization basins ( three per lock chamber ) , each basin being about 70 m ( 230 ft ) wide , 430 m ( 1,400 ft ) long and 5.50 m ( 18 ft ) deep . These gravity - fed basins allow 60 % of the water used in each transit to be reused ; the new locks consequently use 7 % less water per transit than each of the existing lock lanes . The deepening of Gatun Lake and the raising of its maximum water level also provide capacity for significantly more water storage . These measures are intended to allow the expanded canal to operate without constructing new reservoirs . The estimated cost of the project is US $5.25 billion . The project was designed to allow for an anticipated growth in traffic from 280 million PC / UMS tons in 2005 to nearly 510 million PC / UMS tons in 2025 . The expanded canal will have a maximum sustainable capacity of about 600 million PC / UMS tons per year . Tolls will continue to be calculated based on vessel tonnage , and in some cases depend on the locks used . An article in the February 2007 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine described the plans for the canal expansion , focusing on the engineering aspects of the expansion project . There is also a follow - up article in the February 2010 issue of Popular Mechanics . On September 3 , 2007 , thousands of Panamanians stood across from Paraíso Hill in Panama to witness a huge initial explosion and launch of the Expansion Program .", "30": "The first phase of the project was the dry excavations of the 218 meters ( 715 feet ) wide trench connecting the Gaillard Cut with the Pacific coast , removing 47 million cubic meters of earth and rock . By June 2012 , a 30 m reinforced concrete monolith had been completed , the first of 46 such monoliths which will line the new Pacific - side lock walls . By early July 2012 , however , it was announced that the canal expansion project had fallen six months behind schedule , leading expectations for the expansion to open in April 2015 rather than October 2014 , as originally planned . By September 2014 , the new gates were projected to be open for transit at the `` beginning of 2016 . '' It was announced in July 2009 that the Belgian dredging company Jan De Nul , together with a consortium of contractors consisting of the Spanish Sacyr Vallehermoso , the Italian Impregilo , and the Panamanian company Grupo Cusa , had been awarded the contract to build the six new locks for US $3.1 billion , which was one billion less than the next highest competing bid due to having a concrete budget 71 % percent smaller than that of the next bidder and allotted roughly 25 % less for steel to reinforce that concrete . The contract resulted in $100 million in dredging works over the next few years for the Belgian company and a great deal of work for its construction division . The design of the locks is a carbon copy of the Berendrecht Lock , which is 68 m wide and 500 m long , making it the largest lock in the world . Completed in 1989 by the Port of Antwerp , which De Nul helped build , the company still has engineers and specialists who were part of that project . In January 2014 , a contract dispute threatened the progress of the project . There was a delay of less than two months however , with work by the consortium members reaching goals by June 2014 . In June 2015 , flooding of the new locks began : first on the Atlantic side , then on the Pacific ; by then , the canal 's re-inauguration was slated for April 2016 . On March 23 , 2016 , the expansion inauguration was set for June 26 , 2016 .", "31": "The new locks opened for commercial traffic on 26 June 2016 , and the first ship to cross the canal using the third set of locks was a modern New Panamax vessel , the Chinese - owned container ship Cosco Shipping Panama . The original locks , now over 100 years old , allow engineers greater access for maintenance , and are projected to continue operating indefinitely . The total cost is unknown since the expansion 's contractors are seeking at least an addition US $3.4 billion from the canal authority due to excess expenses . Rival Colombia rail link ( edit ) China is investigating a proposal to construct a 220 km ( 137 mi ) railway between Colombia 's Pacific and Caribbean coasts . Rival Nicaragua Canal ( edit ) Main article : Nicaragua Canal On July 7 , 2014 , Wang Jing , chairman of the HK Nicaragua Canal Development Investment Co. Ltd . ( HKND Group ) advised that a route for Nicaragua 's proposed canal had been approved . The construction work was projected by HKND to begin in 2014 and take 5 years. , although there has been little progress whilst a series of environmental impact assessments are being made . The Nicaraguan parliament has approved plans for the 173 - mile canal through Nicaragua , and according to the deal , the company will be responsible for operating and maintaining the canal for a 50 - year period . The government of Nicaragua hopes this will boost the economy ; the opposition is concerned with its environmental impact . According to the independent impact assessment by British firm ERM , some 30,000 local residents will be displaced by the canal , although opposition leaders and Amnesty International claim the figure will be in the hundreds of thousands . Supporters and the environmental impact study claim there will be net environmental benefits , but critics argue that nearly a million acres of delicate ecosystems will be destroyed by the time construction is completed . Other projects ( edit ) Individuals , companies , and governments have explored the possibility of constructing deep water ports and rail links connecting coasts as a `` dry canal '' in Guatemala , Costa Rica , and El Salvador / Honduras . However , plans to construct these sea - rail - sea links have yet to materialize .

Justin Timberlake was the featured performer , as confirmed by the National Football League ( NFL ) on October 22 , 2017 . It was televised nationally by NBC . Contents ( hide ) 1 Synopsis 2 Background 3 Development 4 Critical response 5 Commercial reception 6 Setlist 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Synopsis ( edit ) Timberlake with dancers during the halftime performance Timberlake during halftime show Timberlake performing `` Suit & Tie '' with the University of Minnesota Marching Band The show began with Jimmy Fallon introducing Justin Timberlake , followed by a video screen depicting Timberlake performing `` Filthy '' in a club setting below the field level of the stadium . He then walked up a staircase and appeared on a ramp stage extending outward into the field , descending into a series of stages surrounded by a crowd . Timberlake proceeded to move through the crowd performing `` Rock Your Body '' with a troupe of female backup dancers , abruptly stopping short of the end of the song and shifting to `` Señorita '' on a small stage with his backing dancers . Upon reaching the main stage , he performed a number of songs , including `` SexyBack '' , `` My Love '' , and `` Cry Me a River '' , which featured a dance break mid-field .", "1": "Upon reaching the next stage , Timberlake performed his hit song `` Suit & Tie '' as the University of Minnesota Marching Band , wearing black tuxedos , played backup instrumentals and marched out to meet him . The Stadium and the city of Minneapolis were shown to be lit purple during Timberlake 's tribute to Prince Dancers fill the field during Timberlake 's performance of `` Ca n't Stop the Feeling ! '' Timberlake proceeded to walk up to a white grand piano while performing `` Until the End of Time '' , then segued into `` I Would Die 4 U '' as a tribute to Minneapolis - native Prince . A video of Prince performing the song played in the background , projected onto on a large multi-story sheet . An aerial shot showed downtown Minneapolis covered in purple lighting that morphed into Prince 's trademark Love Symbol , with the stadium at the center . He then returned to the main stage to perform `` Mirrors '' , as hundreds of dancers and members of the marching band performed choreography with large mirrors , creating bright reflections in the broadcast and across the roof of the stadium . Timberlake closed the show with `` Ca n't Stop the Feeling ! '' , entering the stands at the conclusion of the song . For the first time since the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show in Indianapolis in 2012 , no pyrotechnics were used throughout the performance . The show relied mostly on lasers and video screens for visual effects . Background ( edit ) Field being set up for Timberlake 's performance In July 2017 , multiple media outlets reported that Britney Spears was in talks to perform at Halftime , but Pepsi quickly denied it a few days later . During August and September 2017 , several publications informed that Timberlake was the frontrunner to performer at the Super Bowl LII halftime , first along with his frequent - collaborator Jay - Z as co-headliner , and then as the solo performer . A spokesperson from the NFL stated at the time , `` along with Pepsi , we know that we will put on a spectacular show . When it is time to announce her name we will do it . Or his name . Or their names . '' The NFL confirmed the announcement on October 22 with a video starring Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon . This was Timberlake 's third appearance in a Super Bowl halftime show .", "2": "As a member of NSYNC , Timberlake appeared in the Super Bowl XXXV ( 2001 ) halftime show , and as a guest artist in the Super Bowl XXXVIII ( 2004 ) , which performance featured a controversial incident where Timberlake accidentally exposed one of Janet Jackson 's breasts on national television , described as a wardrobe malfunction . The Parents Television Council penned an open letter to Timberlake asking to keep the performance `` family - friendly . '' While the organization acknowledged that Timberlake apologized for the 2004 incident , they asked him to stay true to his word , saying `` we are heartened by your response that the events of 2004 are not going to happen in 2018 , '' as the singer stated in a prior interview that `` we are not going to do that again . '' In an interview with Billboard , Pepsi executives expressed : We are all big fans of Justin Timberlake . We 've kind of felt that Justin deserves , and has for a number of years , to be the main artist for the halftime show because previously he was n't the main artist . It was just about the timing . To be honest , we have discussed Justin for the last number of years for coming and doing halftime , and this year just felt really right to us . He is hands down one of the greatest entertainers currently alive , it was a no - brainer . We know he 's gon na bring it . The Halftime Show included a remembrance for Indianapolis Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson , who died just hours before Super Bowl LII after being struck by a vehicle . Development ( edit ) The U.S. Bank Stadium , where Super Bowl and the halftime show was held . During the performance , Timberlake wore an outfit designed by Stella McCartney , which consists of `` alter nappa fringed jacket with a shirt , featuring a landscape artwork by British artist Martin Ridley , '' according to a press release . Also part of the look is a Prince of Wales - check and camouflage splatter - print suit and matching jacket . As usual for McCartney , these pieces were made from animal - free leather and organic cotton . Timberlake stated in a press conference that there would be no guest musicians in the halftime show and that the event would focus solely on himself and his backing band , the Tennessee Kids .", "3": "Regarding the Prince tribute , the performance 's creative visual lead , Fireplay 's Nick Whitehouse , told Rolling Stone : Paying tribute to Prince was something JT highlighted as an important moment for this show , and we spent quite a bit of time ensuring this moment would be true to his legacy . Ultimately , Justin decided that the only person who could do Prince justice is Prince . The band held 50 - hours worth of rehearsals in preparation for the show . Prince had previously stated he did not want to be included in new music after death in a 1998 interview , citing The Beatles ' `` Free as a Bird '' as an example of a practice he considered to be `` demonic . '' His family granted permission to use Prince 's likeness on the condition that it not be used in a hologram , and they approved of the final result . Sheila E , a former bandmate of Prince 's who was involved in negotiations over the use of his likeness , stated that `` a bigger company '' ( she declined to specify whether it was Pepsi or the NFL ) had insisted on including the Prince apparition and that the notion was not originally Timberlake 's idea . Despite the lack of an individual guest artist , the more than 300 - member University of Minnesota Marching Band was featured in the show . The band 's drumline , brass , and saxophone sections pre-recorded and performed with Timberlake during his performance of `` Suit & Tie . '' The upper woodwind and auxiliary sections led drill formations and held large mirrors during Timberlake 's performance of his song `` Mirrors '' , and acted as fans and dancers throughout other portions of the show , including the club scene at the show 's opening . All members of the band were featured on the field in the show 's finale , `` Ca n't Stop the Feeling ! '' . The band had previously performed in the halftime show of Super Bowl XXVI . Critical response ( edit ) Timberlake 's performance received mixed reviews . In a positive review , Bruce R. Miller of Sioux City Journal wrote `` Timberlake is a masterful live performer -- which made Sunday 's Super Bowl performance about the only sure bet , '' he continued commenting the performer `` did a lot of infectious dancing and managed to play with the crowd like no other . ''", "4": "Although it did not have a moment that `` stuck , '' he considered the Prince tribute the best moment of the show . In a similarly positive review , Taylor Weatherby of Billboard said `` there is no denying that Timberlake absolutely rocked his first headlining ( halftime ) '' , further adding `` Timberlake 's halftime show was undeniably mesmerizing . From starting in the concourse to making his way into the crowd ( and making # SelfieKid an instant superstar ) for the ending . '' She also considered it `` is made for a TV experience '' rather than for the public in the stadium , mainly for the sound quality difficulties , but also criticized him for including Rock Your Body in the set list . From the same magazine , Nina Braca wrote `` his moves were on point , '' and Andrew Ubterberger said two things were `` relatively certain '' about the performance . `` most of America would love it , and most of the Internet would hate it , '' and added Timberlake was `` in a situation that was both a ca n't - lose and a ca n't - win . It would 've been virtually impossible for him to please the critics he 'd alienated over the last couple years . '' Also from Billboard , Andrew Unterberge wrote , `` Timberlake 's audio was somewhat lacking throughout ... but the choreography , live - band energy and song selection were all pretty impeccable '' . Chris Willman of Variety stated that , `` Timberlake turned in a more enjoyably physical performance than just about anybody else who 's done the Bowl show ... and if it was more a feat of athleticism than aestheticism , you ca n't say that 's entirely inappropriate for the occasion . '' Willman also wrote that the show , `` was n't one for the ages , but was impressive as a show of athleticism '' Jon Caramanica of The New York Times wrote that Timberlake 's performance was , `` heavy on dance spectacle , light on vocal authority '' . Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter called the show , `` energetic , but also entirely lacking in live excitement . '' Feinberg criticized the show for largely lacking spontaneity and live vocals . Feinberg wrote that Timberlake delivered , `` one of the most over-planned , least surprising performances imaginable . ''", "5": "Darren Franich of Entertainment Weekly graded Timberlake 's performance a `` C '' , calling it , `` dutiful , and empty '' . Franich faulted Timberlake for playing too safe with his performance . Similarly , Fran Guan of Vulture.com wrote , `` Technically speaking , Timberlake 's set was a testament to precision '' . Guan , however , criticized Timberlake 's performance from lacking in personality , and regarded his performance as unmemorable . The Guardian gave Timberlake 3 out of 5 stars , calling his performance forgettable but flashy . In an interview with NPR , Ann Powers said that `` the entire performance was shrouded in the sense of Timberlake not being right for this moment -- and the Janet Jackson controversy haunted it . '' Daniel D'Addarrio of Time.com gave the performance a negative review , criticizing Timberlake for singing Cry Me A River in addition to Rock Your Body , calling the song 's lyrics about an evil promiscuous woman out of step with the national mood , and said that the only message from Timberlake 's performance was that he loves his back catalog Deadline felt `` but you could see the motions more than you felt the music . '' Chris Richards of The Washington Post regarded Timberlake 's performance as , `` unambiguously underwhelming '' . USA Today and Vulture compared Timberlake 's performance unfavorably to Prince 's own 2007 halftime show . Amanda Petrusich of The New Yorker wrote that Timberlake 's decision to omit the end of `` Rock Your Body '' ( which was performed during the controversial 2004 halftime ) felt , `` less like an apology than yet more spineless deflection '' . However , Andrew Unterberge of Billboard considered Timberlake 's decision to cut the song short to be wise . Timberlake 's Stella McCartney - designed outfit received negative reviews , with some critics regarding it as `` tacky '' . The LA Times also gave a very critical review , one which also stated that Timberlake had nothing to say in his performance , and said that it lacked soul and meaning . The Digital Journal gave him 2 / 5 stars and called it lackluster .", "6": "Commercial reception ( edit ) The Super Bowl LII halftime show was seen by 106.6 million television viewers in the United States , 9 % less than Lady Gaga 's in 2017 . It had higher average viewership than the game itself , and the decline for the halftime show was roughly in line with that of the game as a whole , which had lost 7 % compared to the previous year . According to initial sales reports from Nielsen Music , sales of the songs Timberlake performed during the halftime show gained 534 % in the United States on February 4 , the day of the Super Bowl , compared to Feb. 3 , while his streams on Spotify gained 214 % . Janet Jackson likewise gained 150 % on Spotify .

It forms the first part of the Constitution Act , 1982 . The Charter guarantees certain political rights to Canadian citizens and civil rights of everyone in Canada from the policies and actions of all areas and levels of the government . It is designed to unify Canadians around a set of principles that embody those rights . The Charter was signed into law by Queen Elizabeth II of Canada on April 17 , 1982 , along with the rest of the Act . The Charter was preceded by the Canadian Bill of Rights , which was enacted in 1960 . However , the Bill of Rights is only a federal statute , rather than a constitutional document .", "2": "As a federal statute , it can be amended through the ordinary legislative process and has no application to provincial laws . The Supreme Court of Canada also narrowly interpreted the Bill of Rights and the Court was reluctant to declare laws inoperative . The relative ineffectiveness of the Canadian Bill of Rights motivated many to improve rights protections in Canada . The movement for human rights and freedoms that emerged after World War II also wanted to entrench the principles enunciated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights . The British Parliament formally enacted the Charter as a part of the Canada Act 1982 at the request of the Parliament of Canada in 1982 , the result of the efforts of the government of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau . One of the most notable effects of the adoption of the Charter was to greatly expand the scope of judicial review , because the Charter is more explicit with respect to the guarantee of rights and the role of judges in enforcing them than was the Bill of Rights . The courts , when confronted with violations of Charter rights , have struck down unconstitutional federal and provincial statutes and regulations or parts of statutes and regulations , as they did when Canadian case law was primarily concerned with resolving issues of federalism . The Charter , however , granted new powers to the courts to enforce remedies that are more creative and to exclude more evidence in trials . These powers are greater than what was typical under the common law and under a system of government that , influenced by Canada 's parent country the United Kingdom , was based upon Parliamentary supremacy . As a result , the Charter has attracted both broad support from a majority of the Canadian electorate and criticisms by opponents of increased judicial power . The Charter only applies to government laws and actions ( including the laws and actions of federal , provincial , and municipal governments and public school boards ) , and sometimes to the common law , not to private activity .", "3": "Contents ( hide ) 1 Features 1.1 Exceptions 1.2 Fundamental freedoms 1.3 Democratic rights 1.4 Mobility rights 1.5 Legal rights 1.6 Equality rights 1.7 Language rights 1.8 Minority language education rights 1.9 Other sections 2 History 3 Interpretation and enforcement 4 Comparisons with other human rights documents 5 The Charter and national values 6 Criticism 7 See also 8 References 9 Further reading 10 External links Features ( edit ) Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms Part of the Constitution Act , 1982 .

Most of the rights can be exercised by any legal person ( the Charter does not define the corporation as a `` legal person '' ) , but a few of the rights belong exclusively to natural persons , or ( as in sections 3 and 6 ) only to citizens of Canada . The rights are enforceable by the courts through section 24 of the Charter , which allows courts discretion to award remedies to those whose rights have been denied . This section also allows courts to exclude evidence in trials if the evidence was acquired in a way that conflicts with the Charter and might damage the reputation of the justice system . Section 32 confirms that the Charter is binding on the federal government , the territories under its authority , and the provincial governments .", "4": "The rights and freedoms enshrined in 34 sections of the Charter include : Exceptions ( edit ) Precluding all the freedoms and forming the basis of the Charter , the very first section , known as limitations clause , allows governments to justify certain infringements of Charter rights . Every case in which a court discovers a violation of the Charter would therefore require a section 1 analysis to determine if the law can still be upheld . Infringements are upheld if the purpose for the government action is to achieve what would be recognized as an urgent or important objective in a free society , and if the infringement can be `` demonstrably justified . '' Section 1 has thus been used to uphold laws against objectionable conduct such as hate speech ( e.g. , in R. v. Keegstra ) and obscenity ( e.g. , in R. v. Butler ) . Section 1 also confirms that the rights listed in the Charter are guaranteed . In addition , some of these rights are also subjected to the notwithstanding clause ( section 33 ) . The notwithstanding clause authorizes governments to temporarily override the rights and freedoms in sections 2 and 7 -- 15 for up to five years , subject to renewal . The Canadian federal government has never invoked it , and some have speculated that its use would be politically costly . In the past , the notwithstanding clause was invoked routinely by the province of Quebec ( which did not support the enactment of the Charter but is subject to it nonetheless ) . The provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta have also invoked the notwithstanding clause , to end a strike and to protect an exclusively heterosexual definition of marriage , respectively . ( Note that Alberta 's use of the notwithstanding clause is of no force or effect , since the definition of marriage is federal not provincial jurisdiction . ) The territory of Yukon also passed legislation once that invoked the notwithstanding clause , but the legislation was never proclaimed in force . Fundamental Freedoms ( edit ) Section 2 : which lists what the Charter calls `` fundamental freedoms '' namely freedom of conscience , freedom of religion , freedom of thought , freedom of belief , freedom of expression , freedom of the press and of other media of communication , freedom of peaceful assembly , and freedom of association .", "5": "Democratic rights ( edit ) Generally , the right to participate in political activities and the right to a democratic form of government are protected : Section 3 : the right to vote and to be eligible to serve as member of a legislature . Section 4 : the maximum duration of legislatures is set at five years . Section 5 : an annual sitting of legislatures is required as a minimum . Mobility rights ( edit ) Section 6 : protects the mobility rights of Canadian citizens which include the right to enter , remain in , and leave Canada . Citizens and Permanent Residents have the ability to move to and take up residence in any province to pursue gaining livelihood . Legal rights ( edit ) Rights of people in dealing with the justice system and law enforcement are protected , namely : Section 7 : right to life , liberty , and security of the person . Section 8 : freedom from unreasonable search and seizure . Section 9 : freedom from arbitrary detention or imprisonment . Section 10 : right to legal counsel and the guarantee of habeas corpus . Section 11 : rights in criminal and penal matters such as the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty . Section 12 : right not to be subject to cruel and unusual punishment . Section 13 : rights against self - incrimination . Section 14 : rights to an interpreter in a court proceeding . Equality rights ( edit ) Section 15 : equal treatment before and under the law , and equal protection and benefit of the law without discrimination . Language rights ( edit ) Generally , people have the right to use either the English or French language in communications with Canada 's federal government and certain provincial governments . Specifically , the language laws in the Charter include : Section 16 : English and French are the official languages of Canada and New Brunswick . Section 16.1 : the English and French - speaking communities of New Brunswick have equal rights to educational and cultural institutions . Section 17 : the right to use either official language in Parliament or the New Brunswick legislature . Section 18 : the statutes and proceedings of Parliament and the New Brunswick legislature are to be printed in both official languages . Section 19 : both official languages may be used in federal and New Brunswick courts . Section 20 : the right to communicate with and be served by the federal and New Brunswick governments in either official language .", "6": "Section 21 : other constitutional language rights outside the Charter regarding English and French are sustained . Section 22 : existing rights to use languages besides English and French are not affected by the fact that only English and French have language rights in the Charter . ( Hence , if there are any rights to use Aboriginal languages anywhere they would continue to exist , though they would have no direct protection under the Charter . ) Minority language education rights ( edit ) Section 23 : rights for certain citizens belonging to French and English speaking minority communities to be educated in their own language . Other sections ( edit ) Various provisions help to clarify how the Charter works in practice . These include , Section 25 : states that the Charter does not derogate existing Aboriginal rights and freedoms . Aboriginal rights , including treaty rights , receive more direct constitutional protection under section 35 of the Constitution Act , 1982 . Section 26 : clarifies that other rights and freedoms in Canada are not invalidated by the Charter . Section 27 : requires the Charter to be interpreted in a multicultural context . Section 28 : states all Charter rights are guaranteed equally to men and women . Section 29 : confirms the rights of religious schools are preserved . Section 30 : clarifies the applicability of the Charter in the territories . Section 31 : confirms that the Charter does not extend the powers of legislatures . Finally , Section 34 : states that Part I of the Constitution Act , 1982 , containing the first 34 sections of the Act , may be collectively referred to as the `` Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms '' . History ( edit ) Printed copies of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms Many of the rights and freedoms that are protected under the Charter , including the rights to freedom of speech , habeas corpus and the presumption of innocence , have their roots in a set of Canadian laws and legal precedents sometimes known as the Implied Bill of Rights . Many of these rights were also included in the Canadian Bill of Rights , which the Canadian Parliament enacted in 1960 . However , the Canadian Bill of Rights had a number of shortcomings . Unlike the Charter , it was an ordinary Act of Parliament , which could be amended by a simple majority of Parliament , and it was applicable only to the federal government .", "7": "The courts also chose to interpret the Bill of Rights conservatively , only on rare occasions applying it to find a contrary law inoperative . The Bill of Rights did not contain all of the rights that are now included in the Charter , omitting , for instance , the right to vote and freedom of movement within Canada . The centennial of Canadian Confederation in 1967 aroused greater interest within the government in constitutional reform . Said reforms would include improving safeguards of rights , as well as patriation of the Constitution , meaning the British Parliament would no longer have to approve constitutional amendments . Subsequently , Attorney General Pierre Trudeau appointed law professor Barry Strayer to research a potential bill of rights . While writing his report , Strayer consulted with a number of notable legal scholars , including Walter Tarnopolsky . Strayer 's report advocated a number of ideas that were later incorporated into the Charter , including protection for language rights . Strayer also advocated excluding economic rights . Finally , he recommended allowing for limits on rights . Such limits are included in the Charter 's limitation and notwithstanding clauses . In 1968 , Strayer was made the Director of the Constitutional Law Division of the Privy Council Office and in 1974 , he became Assistant Deputy Minister of Justice . During those years , Strayer played a role in writing the bill that was ultimately adopted . Meanwhile , Trudeau , who had become Liberal leader and prime minister in 1968 , still very much wanted a constitutional bill of rights . The federal government and the provinces discussed creating one during negotiations for patriation , which resulted in the Victoria Charter in 1971 . This never came to be implemented . However , Trudeau continued with his efforts to patriate the Constitution , and promised constitutional change during the 1980 Quebec referendum . He would succeed in 1982 with the passage of the Canada Act 1982 . This enacted the Constitution Act , 1982 . The inclusion of a charter of rights in the Constitution Act was a much - debated issue . Trudeau spoke on television in October 1980 , and announced his intention to constitutionalize a bill of rights that would include fundamental freedoms , democratic guarantees , freedom of movement , legal rights , equality and language rights . He did not want a notwithstanding clause . While his proposal gained popular support , provincial leaders opposed the potential limits on their powers .", "8": "The federal Progressive Conservative opposition feared liberal bias among judges , should courts be called upon to enforce rights . Additionally , the British Parliament cited their right to uphold Canada 's old form of government . At a suggestion of the Conservatives , Trudeau 's government thus agreed to a committee of Senators and MPs to further examine the bill of rights as well as the patriation plan . During this time , 90 hours were spent on the bill of rights alone , all filmed for television , while civil rights experts and advocacy groups put forward their perceptions on the Charter 's flaws and omissions and how to remedy them . As Canada had a parliamentary system of government , and as judges were perceived not to have enforced rights well in the past , it was questioned whether the courts should be named as the enforcers of the Charter , as Trudeau wanted . Conservatives argued that elected politicians should be trusted instead . It was eventually decided that the responsibility should go to the courts . At the urging of civil libertarians , judges could even now exclude evidence in trials if acquired in breach of Charter rights in certain circumstances , something the Charter was not originally going to provide for . As the process continued , more features were added to the Charter , including equality rights for people with disabilities , more sex equality guarantees and recognition of Canada 's multiculturalism . The limitations clause was also reworded to focus less on the importance of parliamentary government and more on justifiability of limits in free societies ; the latter logic was more in line with rights developments around the world after World War II . Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau was a major advocate of the Charter . In its decision in the Patriation Reference ( 1981 ) , the Supreme Court of Canada had ruled there was a tradition that some provincial approval should be sought for constitutional reform . As the provinces still had doubts about the Charter 's merits , Trudeau was forced to accept the notwithstanding clause to allow governments to opt out of certain obligations . The notwithstanding clause was accepted as part of a deal called the Kitchen Accord , negotiated by the federal Attorney General Jean Chrétien , Ontario 's justice minister Roy McMurtry and Saskatchewan 's justice minister Roy Romanow . Pressure from provincial governments ( which in Canada have jurisdiction over property ) and from the country 's left wing , especially the New Democratic Party , also prevented Trudeau from including any rights protecting private property .", "9": "Nevertheless , Quebec did not support the Charter ( or the Canada Act 1982 ) , with `` conflicting interpretations '' as to why . The opposition could have owed to the Parti Québécois leadership being allegedly uncooperative , because it was more committed to gaining sovereignty for Quebec . It could have owed to Quebec leaders being excluded from the negotiation of the Kitchen Accord , which they saw as being too centralist . It could have owed to provincial leaders ' objections to the Accord 's provisions relating to the process of future constitutional amendment . They also opposed the inclusion of mobility rights and minority language education rights . The Charter is still applicable in Quebec because all provinces are bound by the Constitution . However , Quebec 's opposition to the 1982 patriation package has led to two failed attempts to amend the Constitution ( the Meech Lake Accord and Charlottetown Accord ) which were designed primarily to obtain Quebec 's political approval of the Canadian constitutional order . While the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was adopted in 1982 , it was not until 1985 that the main provisions regarding equality rights ( section 15 ) came into effect . The delay was meant to give the federal and provincial governments an opportunity to review pre-existing statutes and strike potentially unconstitutional inequalities . The typography of the physical document pictured here , and still distributed today , was typeset by Ottawa 's David Berman intentionally in Carl Dair 's Cartier typeface : at the time the most prominent Canadian typeface , having been commissioned by the Governor - General as a celebration of Canada 's centenary in 1967 . The Charter has been amended since its enactment . Section 25 was amended in 1983 to explicitly recognize more rights regarding Aboriginal land claims , and section 16.1 was added in 1993 . There have also been a number of unsuccessful attempts to amend the Charter , including the failed Charlottetown Accord of 1992 . The Charlottetown Accord would have specifically required the Charter to be interpreted in a manner respectful of Quebec 's distinct society , and would have added further statements to the Constitution Act , 1867 regarding racial and sexual equality and collective rights , and about minority language communities .", "10": "Though the Accord was negotiated among many interest groups , the resulting provisions were so vague that Trudeau , then out of office , feared they would actually conflict with and undermine the Charter 's individual rights . He felt judicial review of the rights might be undermined if courts had to favour the policies of provincial governments , as governments would be given responsibility over linguistic minorities . Trudeau thus played a prominent role in leading the popular opposition to the Accord . Interpretation and enforcement ( edit ) The task of interpreting and enforcing the Charter falls to the courts , with the Supreme Court of Canada being the ultimate authority on the matter . With the Charter 's supremacy confirmed by section 52 of the Constitution Act , 1982 , the courts continued their practice of striking down unconstitutional statutes or parts of statutes as they had with earlier case law regarding federalism . However , under section 24 of the Charter , courts also gained new powers to enforce creative remedies and exclude more evidence in trials . Courts have since made many important decisions , including R. v. Morgentaler ( 1988 ) , which struck down Canada 's abortion law , and Vriend v. Alberta ( 1998 ) , in which the Supreme Court found the province 's exclusion of homosexuals from protection against discrimination violated section 15 . In the latter case , the Court then read the protection into the law . Courts may receive Charter questions in a number of ways . Rights claimants could be prosecuted under a criminal law that they argue is unconstitutional . Others may feel government services and policies are not being dispensed in accordance with the Charter , and apply to lower - level courts for injunctions against the government ( as was the case in Doucet - Boudreau v. Nova Scotia ( Minister of Education ) ) . A government may also raise questions of rights by submitting reference questions to higher - level courts ; for example , Prime Minister Paul Martin 's government approached the Supreme Court with Charter questions as well as federalism concerns in the case Re Same - Sex Marriage ( 2004 ) . Provinces may also do this with their superior courts . The government of Prince Edward Island initiated the Provincial Judges Reference by asking its provincial Supreme Court a question on judicial independence under section 11 .", "11": "The building of the Supreme Court of Canada , the chief authority on the interpretation of the Charter In several important cases , judges developed various tests and precedents for interpreting specific provisions of the Charter . These include the Oakes test for section 1 , set out in the case R. v. Oakes ( 1986 ) , and the ( now defunct ) Law test for section 15 , developed in Law v. Canada ( 1999 ) . Since Re B.C. Motor Vehicle Act ( 1985 ) , various approaches to defining and expanding the scope of fundamental justice ( the Canadian name for natural justice or due process ) under section 7 have been adopted . ( For more information , see the articles on each Charter section ) . In general , courts have embraced a purposive interpretation of Charter rights . This means that since early cases like Hunter v. Southam ( 1984 ) and R. v. Big M Drug Mart ( 1985 ) , they have concentrated not on the traditional , limited understanding of what each right meant when the Charter was adopted in 1982 , but rather on changing the scope of rights as appropriate to fit their broader purpose . This is tied to the generous interpretation of rights , as the purpose of the Charter provisions is assumed to be to increase rights and freedoms of people in a variety of circumstances , at the expense of the government powers . Constitutional scholar Peter Hogg has approved of the generous approach in some cases , although for others he argues the purpose of the provisions was not to achieve a set of rights as broad as courts have imagined . Indeed , this approach has not been without its critics . Alberta politician Ted Morton and political scientist Rainer Knopff have been very critical of this phenomenon . Although they feel the basis for the approach , the living tree doctrine ( the classical name for generous interpretations of the Canadian Constitution ) , is sound , they argue Charter case law has been more radical . When the living tree doctrine is applied right , the authors claim , `` The elm remained an elm ; it grew new branches but did not transform itself into an oak or a willow . '' The doctrine can be used , for example , so a right is upheld even when a government threatens to violate it with new technology , as long as the essential right remains the same ; but the authors claim that the courts have used the doctrine to `` create new rights . ''", "12": "As an example , the authors note that the Charter right against self - incrimination has been extended to cover scenarios in the justice system that had previously been unregulated by self - incrimination rights in other Canadian laws . Another general approach to interpreting Charter rights is to consider international legal precedents with countries that have specific rights protections , such as the United States Bill of Rights ( an influence on aspects of the Charter ) and the Constitution of South Africa . However , international precedent is only of guiding value , and is not binding . For example , the Supreme Court has referred to the Charter and the American Bill of Rights as being `` born to different countries in different ages and in different circumstances . '' Public interest groups frequently intervene in cases to make arguments on how to interpret the Charter . Some examples are the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association , Canadian Civil Liberties Association , the Canadian Mental Health Association , the Canadian Labour Congress , the Women 's Legal Education and Action Fund ( LEAF ) , and REAL Women of Canada . The purpose of such interventions is to assist the court and to attempt to influence the court to render a decision favourable to the legal interests of the group . A further approach to the Charter , taken by the courts , is the dialogue principle , which involves greater participation by elected governments . This approach involves governments drafting legislation in response to court rulings and courts acknowledging the effort if the new legislation is challenged . Comparisons with other Human rights documents ( edit ) The United States Bill of Rights influenced the text of the Charter , but its rights provisions are interpreted more conservatively . Canadian civil - rights and constitutional cases as compared to American cases occasionally have dissimilar outcomes because the broader Charter rights are limited by the `` savings clause '' of section 1 of the Charter as interpreted in R. v. Oakes Some Canadian Members of Parliament saw the movement to entrench a charter as contrary to the British model of Parliamentary supremacy . Others would say that the European Convention on Human Rights ( ECHR ) has now limited British parliamentary power to a greater degree than the Canadian Charter limited the power of the Canadian Parliament and provincial legislatures . Hogg has speculated that the British adopted the Human Rights Act 1998 , which allows the ECHR to be enforced directly in domestic courts , partly because they were inspired by the similar Canadian Charter .", "13": "The Canadian Charter bears a number of similarities to the European Convention , specifically in relation to the limitations clauses contained in the European document . Because of this similarity with European human rights law , the Supreme Court of Canada turns not only to the Constitution of the United States case law in interpreting the Charter , but also to European Court of Human Rights cases . The core distinction between the United States Bill of Rights and Canadian Charter is the existence of the limitations and notwithstanding clauses . Canadian courts have consequently interpreted each right more expansively . However , due to the limitations clause , where a violation of a right exists , the law will not necessarily grant protection of that right . In contrast , rights under the US Bill of Rights are absolute and so a violation will not be found until there has been sufficient encroachment on those rights . The sum effect is that both constitutions provide comparable protection of many rights . Fundamental justice ( in section 7 of the Canadian Charter ) is therefore interpreted to include more legal protections than due process , which is its US equivalent . Freedom of expression in section 2 also has a more wide - ranging scope than the First Amendment to the United States Constitution 's freedom of speech . In RWDSU v. Dolphin Delivery Ltd. ( 1986 ) , the Canadian Supreme Court considered picketing of the kind the US First Amendment did not permit , as it was disruptive conduct ( though there was some speech involved that the First Amendment might otherwise protect ) . The Supreme Court , however , ruled the picketing , including the disruptive conduct , were fully protected under section 2 of the Charter . The Court then relied on section 1 to find the injunction against the picketing was just . The limitations clause has also allowed governments to enact laws that would be considered unconstitutional in the US . The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld some of Quebec 's limits on the use of English on signs and has upheld publication bans that prohibit media from mentioning the names of juvenile criminals . Section 28 of the Charter performs a function similar to that of the unratified Equal Rights Amendment in the US . While that proposed amendment had many critics , there was no comparable opposition to the Charter 's section 28 . Still , Canadian feminists had to stage large protests to demonstrate support for the inclusion of the section which had not been part of the original draft of the charter .", "14": "The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights has several parallels with the Canadian Charter , but in some cases the Covenant goes further with regard to rights in its text . For example , a right to legal aid has been read into section 10 of the Charter ( the right to counsel ) , but the Covenant explicitly guarantees the accused need not pay `` if he does not have sufficient means . '' The Canadian Charter has little to say , explicitly at least , about economic and social rights . On this point , it stands in marked contrast with the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms and with the International Covenant on Economic , Social and Cultural Rights . There are some who feel economic rights ought to be read into section 7 rights to security of the person and section 15 equality rights to make the Charter similar to the Covenant . The rationale is that economic rights can relate to a decent standard of living and can help the civil rights flourish in a livable environment . Canadian courts , however , have been hesitant in this area , stating that economic rights are political questions and adding that as positive rights , economic rights are of questionable legitimacy . The Charter itself influenced the Bill of Rights in the Constitution of South Africa . The limitations clause under section 36 of the South African law has been compared to section 1 of that Charter . Jamaica 's Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms was also influenced , in part , by the Canadian charter . The Charter and national values ( edit ) The `` March of Hearts '' rally for same - sex marriage equality under the Charter in 2004 . The Charter was intended to be a source for Canadian values and national unity . As Professor Alan Cairns noted , `` The initial federal government premise was on developing a pan-Canadian identity . '' Trudeau himself later wrote in his Memoirs that `` Canada itself '' could now be defined as a `` society where all people are equal and where they share some fundamental values based upon freedom '' , and that all Canadians could identify with the values of liberty and equality . The Charter 's unifying purpose was particularly important to the mobility and language rights . According to author Rand Dyck , some scholars believe section 23 , with its minority language education rights , `` was the only part of the Charter with which Pierre Trudeau was truly concerned '' .", "15": "Through the mobility and language rights , French Canadians , who have been at the centre of unity debates , are able to travel throughout all Canada and receive government and educational services in their own language . Hence , they are not confined to Quebec ( the only province where they form the majority and where most of their population is based ) , which would polarize the country along regional lines . The Charter was also supposed to standardize previously diverse laws throughout the country and gear them towards a single principle of liberty . Former premier of Ontario Bob Rae has stated that the Charter `` functions as a symbol for all Canadians '' in practice because it represents the core value of freedom . Academic Peter Russell has been more skeptical of the Charter 's value in this field . Cairns , who feels the Charter is the most important constitutional document to many Canadians , and that the Charter was meant to shape the Canadian identity , has also expressed concern that groups within society see certain provisions as belonging to them alone rather than to all Canadians . It has also been noted that issues like abortion and pornography , raised by the Charter , tend to be controversial . Still , opinion polls in 2002 showed Canadians felt the Charter significantly represented Canada , although many were unaware of the document 's actual contents . The only values mentioned by the Charter 's preamble are recognition for the supremacy of God and the rule of law , but these have been controversial and of minor legal consequence . In 1999 , MP Svend Robinson brought forward a failed proposal before the Canadian House of Commons that would have amended the Charter by removing the mention of God , as he felt it did not reflect Canada 's diversity . Section 27 also recognizes a value of multiculturalism . In 2002 , polls found 86 % of Canadians approved of this section . Criticism ( edit ) While the Charter has enjoyed a great deal of popularity , with 82 % of Canadians describing it as a good thing in opinion polls in 1987 and 1999 , the document has also been subject to published criticisms from both sides of the political spectrum . One left - wing critic is Professor Michael Mandel , who wrote that in comparison to politicians , judges do not have to be as sensitive to the will of the electorate , nor do they have to make sure their decisions are easily understandable to the average Canadian citizen . This , in Mandel 's view , limits democracy .", "16": "Mandel has also asserted that the Charter makes Canada more like the United States , especially by serving corporate rights and individual rights rather than group rights and social rights . He has argued that there are several things that should be included in the Charter , such as a right to health care and a basic right to free education . Hence , the perceived Americanization of Canadian politics is seen as coming at the expense of values more important for Canadians . The union movement has been disappointed in the reluctance of the courts to use the Charter to support various forms of union activity , such as the `` right to strike '' . Right - wing critics Morton and Knopff have raised several concerns about the Charter , notably by alleging that the federal government has used it to limit provincial powers by allying with various rights claimants and interest groups . In their book The Charter Revolution & the Court Party , Morton and Knopff express their suspicions of this alliance in detail , accusing the Trudeau and Chrétien governments of funding litigious groups . For example , these governments used the Court Challenges Program to support minority language educational rights claims . Morton and Knopff also assert that crown counsel has intentionally lost cases in which the government was taken to court for allegedly violating rights , particularly gay rights and women 's rights . Political scientist Rand Dyck , in observing these criticisms , notes that while judges have had their scope of review widened , they have still upheld most laws challenged on Charter grounds . With regard to litigious interest groups , Dyck points out that `` the record is not as clear as Morton and Knopff imply . All such groups have experienced wins and losses . '' The political philosopher Charles Blattberg has criticized the Charter for contributing to the fragmentation of the country , at both the individual and group levels . In encouraging discourse based upon rights , the Charter is said to inject an adversarial spirit into Canadian politics , making it difficult to realize the common good . Blattberg also claims that the Charter undercuts the Canadian political community since it is ultimately a cosmopolitan document . Finally , he argues that people would be more motivated to uphold individual liberties if they were expressed with terms that are much `` thicker '' ( less abstract ) than rights .", "17": "See also ( edit ) Canada portal Canadian politics portal Book : Canada Canadian Bill of Rights Canadian Human Rights Act History of Canada Human rights in Canada Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms Supreme Court of Canada Veterans ' Bill of Rights List of Supreme Court of Canada cases ( Dickson Court ) List of Supreme Court of Canada cases ( Lamer Court ) List of Supreme Court of Canada cases ( McLachlin Court ) References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Only one federal law was declared inoperative by the Supreme Court of Canada : R. v.

In the film , Ledger portrayed a fictional actor named Robbie Clark , one of six characters embodying aspects of Dylan 's life and persona .", "1": "Ledger died on 22 January 2008 from an accidental intoxication from prescription drugs . A few months before his death , Ledger had finished filming his performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight . His death occurred during editing of The Dark Knight and in the midst of filming his last role as Tony in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus . His untimely death cast a shadow over the subsequent promotion of the $185 million Batman production .

The Sir Frank Ledger Charitable Trust is named after his great - grandfather . He had English , Irish , and Scottish ancestry .", "2": "Ledger attended Mary 's Mount Primary School in Gooseberry Hill , and later Guildford Grammar School , where he had his first acting experiences , starring in a school production as Peter Pan at age 10 . His parents separated when he was 10 and divorced when he was 11 . Ledger 's older sister Kate , an actress and later a publicist , to whom he was very close , inspired his acting on stage , and his love of Gene Kelly inspired his successful choreography , leading to Guildford Grammar 's 60 - member team 's `` first all - boy victory '' at the Rock Eisteddfod Challenge . Ledger 's two half - sisters are Ashleigh Bell ( b . 1990 ) , his mother 's daughter with her second husband and his stepfather Roger Bell , and Olivia Ledger ( b . 1996 ) , his father 's daughter with second wife and his stepmother Emma Brown . Career ( edit ) 1990s ( edit ) After sitting for early graduation exams at age 17 , Ledger left school to pursue an acting career . With Trevor DiCarlo , his best friend since he was three years old , Ledger drove across Australia from Perth to Sydney , returning to Perth to take a small role in Clowning Around ( 1992 ) , the first part of a two - part television series , and to work on the TV series Sweat ( 1996 ) , in which he played a gay cyclist . From 1993 to 1997 , Ledger also had parts in the Perth television series Ship to Shore ( 1993 ) ; in the short - lived Fox Broadcasting Company fantasy - drama Roar ( 1997 ) ; in Home and Away ( 1997 ) , one of Australia 's most successful television shows ; and in the Australian film Blackrock ( 1997 ) , his feature film debut . In 1999 , he starred in the teen comedy 10 Things I Hate About You and in the acclaimed Australian crime film Two Hands , directed by Gregor Jordan .", "3": "2000s ( edit ) From 2000 to 2005 , he starred in supporting roles as Gabriel Martin , the eldest son of Benjamin Martin ( Mel Gibson ) , in The Patriot ( 2000 ) , and as Sonny Grotowski , the son of Hank Grotowski ( Billy Bob Thornton ) , in Monster 's Ball ( 2001 ) ; and in leading or title roles in A Knight 's Tale ( 2001 ) , The Four Feathers ( 2002 ) , The Order ( 2003 ) , Ned Kelly ( 2003 ) , Casanova ( 2005 ) , The Brothers Grimm ( 2005 ) , and Lords of Dogtown ( 2005 ) . In 2001 , he won a ShoWest Award as `` Male Star of Tomorrow '' . Ledger received `` Best Actor of 2005 '' awards from both the New York Film Critics Circle and the San Francisco Film Critics Circle for his performance in Brokeback Mountain , in which he plays Wyoming ranch hand Ennis Del Mar , who has a love affair with aspiring rodeo rider Jack Twist , played by Jake Gyllenhaal . He also received a nomination for Golden Globe Best Actor in a Drama and a nomination for Academy Award for Best Actor for this performance , making him , at age 26 , the ninth - youngest nominee for a Best Actor Oscar . In The New York Times review of the film , critic Stephen Holden writes : `` Both Mr. Ledger and Mr. Gyllenhaal make this anguished love story physically palpable . Mr. Ledger magically and mysteriously disappears beneath the skin of his lean , sinewy character . It is a great screen performance , as good as the best of Marlon Brando and Sean Penn . '' In a review in Rolling Stone , Peter Travers states : `` Ledger 's magnificent performance is an acting miracle . He seems to tear it from his insides . Ledger does n't just know how Ennis moves , speaks and listens ; he knows how he breathes . To see him inhale the scent of a shirt hanging in Jack 's closet is to take measure of the pain of love lost . ''", "4": "After Brokeback Mountain , Ledger costarred with fellow Australian Abbie Cornish in the 2006 Australian film Candy , an adaptation of the 1998 novel Candy : A Novel of Love and Addiction , as young heroin addicts in love attempting to break free of their addiction , whose mentor is played by Geoffrey Rush ; for his performance as sometime poet Dan , Ledger was nominated for three `` Best Actor '' awards , including one of the Film Critics Circle of Australia Awards , which both Cornish and Rush won in their categories . Shortly after the release of Candy , Ledger was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences . As one of six actors embodying different aspects of the life of Bob Dylan in the 2007 film I 'm Not There , directed by Todd Haynes , Ledger `` won praise for his portrayal of ' Robbie ( Clark ) , ' a moody , counter-culture actor who represents the romanticist side of Dylan , but says accolades are never his motivation '' . Posthumously , on 23 February 2008 , he shared the 2007 Independent Spirit Robert Altman Award with the rest of the film 's ensemble cast , its director , and its casting director . In his penultimate film performance , Ledger played the Joker in Christopher Nolan 's 2008 film The Dark Knight , released nearly six months after his death . While working on the film in London , Ledger told Sarah Lyall in their New York Times interview that he viewed The Dark Knight 's Joker as a `` psychopathic , mass murdering , schizophrenic clown with zero empathy '' . For his work on The Dark Knight , Ledger won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor with his family accepting it on his behalf , as well as numerous other posthumous awards , including the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor , which Christopher Nolan accepted for him . At the time of his death on 22 January 2008 , Ledger had completed about half of the work for his final film performance as Tony in Terry Gilliam 's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus . Gilliam chose to adapt the film after his death by having fellow actors Johnny Depp , Jude Law , and Colin Farrell play `` fantasy transformations '' of his character so that Ledger 's final performance could be seen in theatres .", "5": "Directorial work ( edit ) Ledger ( rightmost ) posing with the cast and the director of I 'm Not There at the 64th Venice Film Festival in September 2007 . Ledger had aspirations to become a film director and had made some music videos , which director Todd Haynes praised highly in his tribute to Ledger upon accepting the ISP Robert Altman Award , which Ledger posthumously shared , on 23 February 2008 . In 2006 , Ledger directed music videos for the title track on Australian hip hop artist N'fa 's CD debut solo album Cause An Effect and for the single `` Seduction Is Evil ( She 's Hot ) '' . Later that year , Ledger inaugurated a new record label , Masses Music , with singer Ben Harper and also directed a music video for Harper 's song `` Morning Yearning '' . At a news conference at the 2007 Venice Film Festival , Ledger spoke of his desire to make a documentary film about the British singer - songwriter Nick Drake , who died in 1974 , at the age of 26 , from an overdose of an antidepressant . Ledger created and acted in a music video set to Drake 's recording of the singer 's 1974 song about depression `` Black Eyed Dog '' -- a title `` inspired by Winston Churchill 's descriptive term for depression '' ( black dog ) ; it was shown publicly only twice , first at the Bumbershoot Festival , in Seattle , held from 1 to 3 September 2007 ; and secondly as part of `` A Place To Be : A Celebration of Nick Drake '' , with its screening of Their Place : Reflections On Nick Drake , `` a series of short filmed homages to Nick Drake '' ( including Ledger 's ) , sponsored by American Cinematheque , at the Grauman 's Egyptian Theatre , in Hollywood , on 5 October 2007 . After Ledger 's death , his music video for `` Black Eyed Dog '' was shown on the Internet and excerpted in news clips distributed via YouTube . He was working with Scottish screenwriter and producer Allan Scott on an adaptation of the 1983 novel The Queen 's Gambit by Walter Tevis , which would have been his first feature film as a director . He also intended to act in the film , with Canadian actress Ellen Page proposed in the lead role .", "6": "Ledger 's final directorial work , in which he shot two music videos before his death , premiered in 2009 . The music videos , completed for Modest Mouse and Grace Woodroofe , include an animated feature for Modest Mouse 's song , `` King Rat '' , and the Woodroofe video for her cover of David Bowie 's `` Quicksand '' . The `` King Rat '' video premiered on 4 August 2009 . Personal life ( edit ) Ledger at the 56th Berlin International Film Festival in February 2006 Ledger was an avid chess player , winning Western Australia 's junior chess championship at the age of 10 . As an adult , he often played with other chess enthusiasts at Washington Square Park . Ledger also had a keen interest in the West Coast Eagles , a professional Australian rules football team that competes in the Australian Football League and are based in his hometown of Perth . Allan Scott 's film adaptation of the chess - related 1983 novel The Queen 's Gambit , by Walter Tevis , which at the time of his death he was planning to both perform in and direct , would have been Ledger 's first feature film as a director . Relationships ( edit ) Ledger had relationships with actresses Lisa Zane , Heather Graham and Naomi Watts . In 2004 , he met and began dating actress Michelle Williams on the set of Brokeback Mountain . Their daughter , Matilda Rose , was born on 28 October 2005 in New York City . Matilda 's godparents are Brokeback co-star Jake Gyllenhaal and Williams ' Dawson 's Creek co-star Busy Philipps . In January 2006 , Ledger put his residence in Bronte , New South Wales up for sale , and returned to the United States , where he shared a house with Williams , in Boerum Hill , Brooklyn , from 2005 to 2007 . In September 2007 , Williams ' father confirmed to Sydney 's Daily Telegraph that Ledger and Williams had ended their relationship . After Ledger 's death , multiple news outlets reported that his drug abuse had prompted Williams to request that he move out of the apartment they shared in Brooklyn .", "7": "After his break - up with Williams , in late 2007 and early 2008 , the tabloid press and other public media linked Ledger romantically with supermodels Helena Christensen and Gemma Ward . On 30 January 2011 , Ward stated that the pair began dating in November 2007 and their families spent Christmas together in their home town of Perth . Press controversies ( edit ) Ledger 's relationship with the press in Australia was sometimes turbulent , and it led to his abandonment of plans for his family to reside part - time in Sydney . In 2004 , he strongly denied press reports alleging that `` he spat at journalists on the Sydney set of the film Candy '' , or that one of his relatives had done so later , outside Ledger 's Sydney home . On 13 January 2006 , `` Several members of the paparazzi retaliated ... squirting Ledger and Williams with water pistols on the red carpet at the Sydney premiere of Brokeback Mountain '' . After his performance on stage at the 2005 Screen Actors Guild Awards , when he had giggled in presenting Brokeback Mountain as a nominee for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture , the Los Angeles Times referred to his presentation as an `` apparent gay spoof '' . Ledger called the Times later and explained that his levity resulted from stage fright , saying that he had been told that he would be presenting the award only minutes earlier ; he stated : `` I am so sorry and I apologise for my nervousness . I would be absolutely horrified if my stage fright was misinterpreted as a lack of respect for the film , the topic and for the amazing filmmakers . '' Ledger was quoted in January 2006 in Melbourne 's Herald Sun as saying that he heard that West Virginia had banned Brokeback Mountain , which it had not ; actually , a cinema in Utah had banned the film . He had also referred mistakenly to West Virginia 's having had lynchings as recently as the 1980s , but state scholars disputed his statement , observing that , whereas lynchings did occur in Alabama as recently as 1981 , according to `` the director of state archives and history '' quoted in The Charleston Gazette , `` The last documented lynching in West Virginia took place in Lewisburg in 1931 . ''", "8": "Health issues ( edit ) In their New York Times interview , published on 4 November 2007 , Ledger told Sarah Lyall that his recently completed roles in I 'm Not There ( 2007 ) and The Dark Knight ( 2008 ) had taken a toll on his ability to sleep : `` Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night ... I could n't stop thinking . My body was exhausted , and my mind was still going . '' At that time , he told Lyall that he had taken two Ambien pills , after taking just one had not sufficed , and those left him in `` a stupor , only to wake up an hour later , his mind still racing . '' Prior to his return to New York from his last film assignment , in London , in January 2008 , while he was apparently suffering from some kind of respiratory illness , he reportedly complained to his co-star from The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus , Christopher Plummer , that he was continuing to have difficulty sleeping and taking pills to help with that problem : `` Confirming earlier reports that Ledger had n't been feeling well on set , Plummer says , ' we all caught colds because we were shooting outside on horrible , damp nights . But Heath 's went on and I do n't think he dealt with it immediately with the antibiotics ... I think what he did have was the walking pneumonia . ' ( ... ) On top of that , ' He was saying all the time , ' dammit , I ca n't sleep ' ... and he was taking all these pills to help him . ' '' In talking with Interview magazine , after his death , Ledger 's former fiancée Michelle Williams also confirmed reports the actor had experienced trouble sleeping . `` For as long as I 'd known him , he had bouts with insomnia . He had too much energy . His mind was turning , turning , turning -- always turning . '' Death ( edit ) At about 2 : 45 pm ( EST ) , on 22 January 2008 , Ledger was found unconscious in his bed by his housekeeper , Teresa Solomon , and his masseuse , Diana Wolozin , in his fourth - floor loft apartment at 421 Broome Street in the SoHo neighbourhood of Manhattan .", "9": "According to the police , Wolozin , who had arrived early for a 3 : 00 pm appointment with Ledger , called Ledger 's friend Mary - Kate Olsen for help . Olsen , who was in California , directed a New York City private security guard to go to the scene . At 3 : 26 pm , `` less than 15 minutes after she first saw him in bed and only a few moments after the first call to Ms. Olsen '' , Wolozin telephoned 9 - 1 - 1 `` to say that Mr. Ledger was not breathing '' . At the urging of the 9 - 1 - 1 operator , Wolozin administered CPR , which was unsuccessful in reviving him . Paramedics and emergency medical technicians arrived seven minutes later , at 3 : 33 pm ( `` at almost exactly the same moment as a private security guard summoned by Ms. Olsen '' ) but were also unable to revive him . At 3 : 36 pm , Ledger was pronounced dead , and his body was removed from the apartment . Autopsy and Toxicology report ( edit ) Two weeks later on 6 February 2008 , the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of New York released its conclusions , based on an initial autopsy of 23 January 2008 and a subsequent complete toxicological analysis . The report concludes , in part , `` Mr. Heath Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone , hydrocodone , diazepam , temazepam , alprazolam and doxylamine . '' It states definitively : `` We have concluded that the manner of death is accident , resulting from the abuse of prescribed medications . '' While the medications found in the toxicological analysis may be prescribed in the United States for insomnia , anxiety , pain , or common cold ( doxylamine ) symptoms , the vast majority of physicians in the US are extremely reluctant to prescribe multiple benzodiazepines ( e.g. , diazepam , alprazolam , and temazepam ) to a single patient , let alone prescribe the same to a patient already taking a mix of oxycodone and hydrocodone .", "10": "Although the Associated Press and other media reported that `` police estimate Ledger 's time of death between 1 pm and 2 : 45 pm '' ( on 22 January 2008 ) , the Medical Examiner 's Office announced that it would not be publicly disclosing the official estimated time of death . The official announcement of the cause and manner of Ledger 's death heightened concerns about the growing problems of prescription drug abuse or misuse and combined drug intoxication ( CDI ) . Dr. Jason Payne - James , a forensic pathologist , has believed that Ledger might have survived if hydrocodone and oxycodone had been left out of the combination of drugs that the actor took just prior to his death . Federal Investigation ( edit ) Late in February 2008 , a DEA investigation of medical professionals relating to Ledger 's death exonerated two American physicians , who practice in Los Angeles and Houston , of any wrongdoing , determining that `` the doctors in question had prescribed Ledger other medications -- not the pills that killed him . '' On 4 August 2008 , citing unnamed sources , Murray Weiss , of the New York Post , first reported that Mary - Kate Olsen had `` refused ( through her attorney , Michael C. Miller ) to be interviewed by federal investigators probing the accidental drug death of her close friend Heath Ledger ... ( without ) ... immunity from prosecution '' and that , when asked about the matter , Miller at first declined further comment . Later that day , after the police confirmed the gist of Weiss 's account to the Associated Press , Miller issued a statement denying that Olsen supplied Ledger with the drugs causing his death and asserting that she did not know their source . In his statement , Miller said specifically , `` Despite tabloid speculation , Mary - Kate Olsen had nothing whatsoever to do with the drugs found in Heath Ledger 's home or his body , and she does not know where he obtained them , '' emphasizing that media `` descriptions ( attributed to an unidentified source ) are incomplete and inaccurate . '' After a flurry of further media speculation , on 6 August 2008 , the US Attorney 's Office in Manhattan closed its investigation into Ledger 's death without filing any charges and rendering moot its subpoena of Olsen .", "11": "With the clearing of the two doctors and Olsen , and the closing of the investigation because the prosecutors in the Manhattan US Attorney 's Office `` do n't believe there 's a viable target , '' it is still not known how Ledger obtained the oxycodone and hydrocodone in the lethal drug combination that killed him . Effect on fans ( edit ) Eleven months after Ledger 's death , on 23 December 2008 , Jake Coyle , writing for the Associated Press , announced that `` Heath Ledger 's death was voted 2008 's top entertainment story by U.S. newspaper and broadcast editors surveyed by The Associated Press '' . He claimed that this was partially a result of the `` shock and confusion '' surrounding the circumstances of Ledger 's death , as well as due to Ledger 's `` legacy ... in a roundly acclaimed performance as the Joker in the year 's biggest box office hit The Dark Knight . '' Controversy over will ( edit ) After Ledger 's death , in response to some press reports about his will , filed in New York City on 28 February 2008 , and his daughter 's access to his financial legacy , his father , Kim Ledger , said that he considered the financial well - being of his granddaughter Matilda Rose an `` absolute priority '' , whilst also stating that her mother , Michelle Williams , was `` an integral part of our family '' . He added , `` They will be taken care of and that 's how Heath would want it to be '' . Some of Ledger 's relatives may be challenging the legal status of his will signed in 2003 , prior to his involvement with Williams and the birth of their daughter and not updated to include them , which divides half of his estate between his parents and half among his siblings ; they claim that there is a second , unsigned will , which leaves most of that estate to Matilda Rose . Williams ' father , Larry Williams , has also joined the controversy about Ledger 's will as it was filed in New York City soon after his death .", "12": "On 31 March 2008 , stimulating another controversy pertaining to Ledger 's estate , Gemma Jones and Janet Fife - Yeomans published an `` Exclusive '' report , in The Daily Telegraph , citing Ledger 's uncle Haydn Ledger and other family members , who `` believe the late actor may have fathered a secret love child '' when he was 17 , and stating that `` If it is confirmed that Ledger is the girl 's biological father , it could split his multi-million dollar estate between ... Matilda Rose ... and his secret love child . '' A few days later , reports citing telephone interviews with Ledger 's uncles Haydn and Mike Ledger and the family of the other little girl , published in OK ! and Us Weekly , `` denied '' those `` claims '' , with Ledger 's uncles and the little girl 's mother and stepfather describing them as unfounded `` rumors '' distorted and exaggerated by the media . On 15 July 2008 , Fife - Yeomans reported further , via Australian News Limited , that `` While Ledger left everything to his parents and three sisters , it is understood they have legal advice that under Western Australia law , Matilda Rose is entitled to the lion 's share '' of his estate ; its executors , Kim Ledger 's former business colleague Robert John Collins and Geraldton accountant William Mark Dyson , `` have applied for probate in the West Australian Supreme Court in Perth , advertising for ' creditors and other persons ' having claims on the estate to lodge them by 11 August 2008 ... to ensure all debts are paid before the estate is distributed ... '' According to this report by Fife - Yeomans , earlier reports citing Ledger 's uncles , and subsequent reports citing Ledger 's father , which do not include his actual posthumous earnings , `` his entire fortune , mostly held in Australian trusts , is likely to be worth up to $ 20 million . '' On 27 September 2008 , Ledger 's father Kim stated that `` the family has agreed to leave the US $16.3 million fortune to Matilda , '' adding : `` There is no claim . Our family has gifted everything to Matilda . ''", "13": "In October 2008 , Forbes estimated Ledger 's annual earnings from October 2007 through October 2008 -- including his posthumous share of The Dark Knight 's gross income of `` US $1 billion in box office revenue worldwide '' -- -- as `` US $20 million . '' Legacy ( edit ) Memorial tributes and services ( edit ) Memorial for Ledger , outside 421 Broome Street , SoHo , Manhattan , 23 January 2008 As the news of Ledger 's death became public , throughout the night of 22 January 2008 , and the next day , media crews , mourners , fans , and other onlookers began gathering outside his apartment building , with some leaving flowers or other memorial tributes . The next day , at 10 : 50 am Australian time , Ledger 's parents and sister appeared outside his mother 's house in Applecross , a riverside suburb of Perth , and read a short statement to the media expressing their grief and desire for privacy . Within the next few days , memorial tributes were communicated by family members ; the Prime Minister of Australia , Kevin Rudd ; the Deputy Premier of Western Australia , Eric Ripper ; Warner Bros. ( distributor of The Dark Knight ) and thousands of Ledger 's fans around the world . Several actors made statements expressing their sorrow at Ledger 's death , including Daniel Day - Lewis , who dedicated his Screen Actors Guild Award to him , saying that he was inspired by Ledger 's acting ; Day - Lewis praised Ledger 's performances in Monster 's Ball and Brokeback Mountain , describing the latter as `` unique , perfect '' . Verne Troyer , who was working with Ledger on The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus at the time of his death , had a heart shape , an exact duplicate of a symbol that Ledger scrawled on a piece of paper with his email address , tattooed on his hand in remembrance of Ledger because Ledger `` had made such an impression on ( him ) . '' British indie band Kasabian paid tribute to Ledger in their song ' Vlad the Impaler ' , with the line `` Joker , meet you on the other side '' . Singer Tom Meighan often changes the word `` Joker '' to either `` Ledger '' , or the names of recently deceased celebrities .", "14": "On 1 February , in her first public statement after Ledger 's death , Michelle Williams expressed her heartbreak and described Ledger 's spirit as surviving in their daughter . After attending private memorial ceremonies in Los Angeles , Ledger 's family members returned with his body to Perth . On 9 February , a memorial service attended by several hundred invited guests was held at Penrhos College , attracting considerable press attention ; afterward Ledger 's body was cremated at Fremantle Cemetery , followed by a private service attended by only 10 closest family members , with his ashes interred later in a family plot at Karrakatta Cemetery , next to two of his grandparents . Later that night , his family and friends gathered for a wake on Cottesloe Beach . In January 2011 , the State Theatre Centre of Western Australia in Ledger 's home town of Perth named a 575 - seat theatre the Heath Ledger Theatre after him . For the opening of the theatre , Ledger 's Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor was on display in the theatre 's foyer along with his Joker costume . Bon Iver 's `` Perth '' was inspired by Heath Ledger . Justin Vernon , the lead singer and songwriter of the American indie folk band , revealed back in 2011 that he had begun working on the song in 2008 and was scheduled to meet with a music video director who was good friends with Ledger , Matt Amato . `` The first thing I worked on , the riff and the beginning melodies , was the first song on the record , ' Perth , ' '' Vernon told Exclaim ! . Amato was directing the band 's `` The Wolves ( Act I & II ) '' music video the day that Ledger died . `` It was no longer about just making a Bon Iver music video anymore , '' Vernon says . `` This was now our chance to be there with Matt as he grieved . It was a three - day wake . '' Amato told Vernon stories about Ledger that eventually became the inspiration for `` Perth , '' the opening track to the band 's second studio album Bon Iver , Bon Iver ( 2011 ) . Method and style ( edit ) Ledger on the March 2006 cover of Rolling Stone `` You know when you see the preachers down South ? And they grab a believer and they go , ' Bwoom !", "15": "I touch you with the hand of God ! ' And they believe so strongly , they 're on the ground shaking and spitting . And fuck 's sake , that 's the power of belief ... Now , I do n't believe in Jesus , but I believe in my performance . And if you can understand that the power of belief is one of the great tools of our time and that a lot of acting comes from it , you can do anything . '' -- Ledger , during the interview with Rolling Stone in 2006 , on belief , power and acting . Portraying a variety of roles , from romantic heroes to the reluctantly oppressed , Ledger created a hodgepodge of characters that are deliberately unlike one another , stating `` I feel like I am wasting my time if I repeat myself '' . He also reflected on his inability to be happy with his work , `` I feel the same thing about everything I do . The day I say , ' It 's good ' is the day I should start doing something else . '' Ledger liked to wait between jobs so that he would start creatively hungry on new projects . In his own words , acting was about harnessing `` the infinite power of belief , '' thus using belief as a tool for creating . Directors who have worked with the actor praised him for his creativity , seriousness and intuition . `` I 've never felt as old as I did watching Heath explore his talents , '' The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan has written , expressing amazement over the actor 's working process , genuine curiosity and charisma . Marc Forster , who directed Ledger in Monster 's Ball , complimented him as taking the job `` very seriously '' , being disciplined , observant , and understanding and intuitive . In 2007 , director Todd Haynes compared Ledger 's presence to actor James Dean , casting Ledger as Robbie Clarke , a fictive personification of Bob Dylan in I 'm Not There . Drawing on the similar characteristics between the actors , Haynes further highlighted Ledger 's `` precocious seriousness '' and intuition . He also felt that Ledger had a rare maturity beyond his years . '' Ledger , however , disconnected himself and acting from perfectionism . `` I 'm always gon na pull myself apart and dissect ( the work ) . I mean , there 's no such thing as perfection in what ( actors ) do .", "16": "Pornos are more perfect than we are , because they 're actually fucking . '' `` Some people find their shtick , '' Ledger reflected on the categorization of style . `` I never figured out who ' Heath Ledger ' is on film : ' This is what you expect when you hire me , and it will be recognizable ' ... People always feel compelled to sum you up , to presume that they have you and can describe you . That 's fine . But there are so many stories inside of me and a lot I want to achieve outside of one flat note . '' Posthumous films and Awards ( edit ) Further information : List of accolades received by The Dark Knight Ledger 's death affected the marketing campaign for Christopher Nolan 's The Dark Knight ( 2008 ) and also both the production and marketing of Terry Gilliam 's film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus , with both directors intending to celebrate and pay tribute to his work in these films . Although Gilliam temporarily suspended production on the latter film , he expressed determination to `` salvage '' it , perhaps using computer - generated imagery ( CGI ) , and dedicated it to Ledger . In February 2008 , as a `` memorial tribute to the man many have called one of the best actors of his generation , '' Johnny Depp , Jude Law , and Colin Farrell signed on to take over Ledger 's role , becoming multiple incarnations of his character , Tony , transformed in this `` magical re-telling of the Faust story '' . The three actors donated their fees for the film to Ledger 's and Williams 's daughter . Speaking of editing The Dark Knight , on which Ledger had completed his work in October 2007 , Nolan recalled , `` It was tremendously emotional , right when he passed , having to go back in and look at him every day ... But the truth is , I feel very lucky to have something productive to do , to have a performance that he was very , very proud of , and that he had entrusted to me to finish . '' All of Ledger 's scenes appear as he completed them in the filming ; in editing the film , Nolan added no `` digital effects '' to alter Ledger 's actual performance posthumously .", "17": "Nolan dedicated the film in part to Ledger 's memory , as well as to the memory of technician Conway Wickliffe , who was killed during a car accident while preparing one of the film 's stunts . Ledger 's performance of The Joker in the film earned him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor , making him the first comic - book movie actor to win an Oscar . Released in July 2008 , The Dark Knight broke several box office records and received both popular and critical accolades , especially with regard to Ledger 's performance as the Joker . Even film critic David Denby , who does not praise the film overall in his pre-release review in The New Yorker , evaluates Ledger 's work highly , describing his performance as both `` sinister and frightening '' and Ledger as `` mesmerising in every scene '' , concluding : `` His performance is a heroic , unsettling final act : this young actor looked into the abyss . '' Attempting to dispel widespread speculations that Ledger 's performance as the Joker had in any way led to his death ( as Denby and others suggest ) , Ledger 's co-star and friend Christian Bale , who played opposite him as Batman , has stressed that , as an actor , Ledger greatly enjoyed meeting the challenges of creating that role , an experience that Ledger himself described as `` the most fun I 've ever had , or probably ever will have , playing a character . '' Terry Gilliam also refuted the claims that playing the Joker made him crazy , calling it `` absolute nonsense '' and going on to say , `` Heath was so solid . His feet were on the ground and he was the least neurotic person I 've ever met . '' Ledger received numerous awards for his Joker role in The Dark Knight . On 10 November 2008 , he was nominated for two People 's Choice Awards related to his work on the film , `` Best Ensemble Cast '' and `` Best Onscreen Match - Up '' ( shared with Christian Bale ) , and Ledger won an award for `` Match - Up '' in the ceremony aired live on CBS in January 2009 .", "18": "On 11 December 2008 , it was announced that Ledger had been nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor -- Motion Picture for his performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight ; he subsequently won the award at the 66th Golden Globe Awards ceremony telecast on NBC on 11 January 2009 with Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan accepting on his behalf . Film critics , co-stars Maggie Gyllenhaal and Michael Caine and many of Ledger 's colleagues in the film community joined Bale in calling for and predicting a nomination for the 2008 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in recognition of Ledger 's achievement in The Dark Knight . Ledger 's subsequent nomination was announced on 22 January 2009 , the anniversary of his death . Ledger went on to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor , becoming the second person to win a posthumous Academy Award for acting ( after fellow Australian actor Peter Finch , who won for 1976 's Network ) , as well as the first comic - book movie actor to win an Oscar for their acting . Ledger 's family attended the ceremony on 22 February 2009 , with his parents and sister accepting the award on stage on his behalf . Following talks with the Ledger family in Australia , the Academy determined that Ledger 's daughter , Matilda Rose , would own the award . However , due to Matilda 's age , she will not gain full ownership of the statuette until her eighteenth birthday in 2023 . Until that time , her mother Michelle Williams , will hold the statuette in trust for Matilda . On 4 April 2017 , a trailer was released for the upcoming documentary I am Heath Ledger which was released on 3 May 2017 . It features archival footage of Ledger and interviews .", "19": "Filmography ( edit ) Film ( edit ) Title Year Role Note Blackrock 1997 Toby Ackland Paws Oberon 10 Things I Hate About You 1999 Patrick Verona Two Hands Jimmy The Patriot 2000 Gabriel Martin A Knight 's Tale William Thatcher Monster 's Ball Sonny Grotowski The Four Feathers 2002 Harry Faversham Ned Kelly 2003 Ned Kelly The Order Alex Bernier Lords of Dogtown 2005 Skip Engblom The Brothers Grimm Jacob Grimm Brokeback Mountain Ennis Del Mar Casanova Giacomo Casanova Candy 2006 Dan Carter I 'm Not There 2007 Robbie Clark ( Bob Dylan ) The Dark Knight 2008 The Joker Posthumous release The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus 2009 Tony Shepard I am Heath Ledger 2017 Himself Documentary Television ( edit ) Title Year Role Note Ship to Shore Cyclist 3 episodes Sweat Snowy Bowles 26 episodes Home and Away 1997 Scott Irwin 9 episodes Roar Conor 13 episodes Storm Hawks 2007 Cyclonian Talon Voice ; one episode Music video ( edit ) Title Year Performer Note `` Cause an Effect '' 2006 N'fa Directed by Ledger `` Seduction is Evil ( She 's Hot ) '' `` Morning Yearning '' Ben Harper `` Black Eyed Dog '' 2007 Nick Drake Directed by and featuring Ledger `` King Rat '' 2009 Modest Mouse Animated video ; conceived by Ledger Accolades ( edit ) Main article : List of awards and nominations received by Heath Ledger See also ( edit ) List of actors with two or more Academy Award nominations in acting categories List of oldest and youngest Academy Award winners and nominees List of posthumous Academy Award winners and nominees Notes ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Many sources normally considered reliable say that his birth name was Heathcliff ; however , Ledger himself denied this ,", "20": "saying his name was always just Heath .

His ancestry includes Irish and Italian . He was born with a Tetralogy of Fallot , a congenital heart defect for which he endured two open - heart operations before the age of one . White spent his formative years riding Okemo Mountain and Bear Mountain , small ski resorts found in Ludlow , Vermont , and the San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California . Career White quickly drew the eyes of many in the skateboarder scene , including professional skateboarder Tony Hawk . Hawk befriended the nine - year - old White at a local skatepark and mentored him , helping him turn pro in skateboarding at the age of 17 . White has won many titles on his skateboard , including the overall title of Action Sports Tour Champion , and was the first person to compete in and win both the Summer and Winter X Games in two different sports . Snowboarding career Following in his older brother Jesse White 's footsteps , White switched from skiing to snowboarding at age six , and by age seven he received his first sponsorship . White has participated in four Winter Olympics in his career . At the 2006 , 2010 , and 2018 Winter Olympics , White won gold in the snowboard halfpipe event . White has also participated in the Winter X Games , where he has won a medal every year since 2002 . Including all winter X Games competitions through 2013 , his medal count stands at 18 ( 13 gold , 3 silver , 2 bronze ) , among which is the first quadruple win streak by a male athlete in one discipline , the snowboard slopestyle .", "2": "White 's streak was snapped in 2007 when he lost to Andreas Wiig and Teddy Flandreau , with White taking the bronze . He won the Air & Style Contest in 2003 and 2004 . 2006 Winter Olympics See also : Snowboarding at the 2006 Winter Olympics and 2006 Winter Olympics At the 2006 Winter Olympics , White won gold in the half - pipe . After his first run in qualifications , White was almost out of competition , scoring only 37.7 . On his second run , he recorded a score of 45.3 . In the finals , White recorded a score of 46.8 ( 50 is the highest possible score ) to win . Fellow American Danny Kass won the silver with a points total of 44.0 . 2008 Executing a near - flawless second run , White captured his third consecutive snowboard halfpipe title at the 2008 U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships to go along with his third US Open slopestyle competition . This followed White 's win at the 25th ( 2007 ) Burton US Open , where he placed third in slopestlyle and first in the halfpipe . At the 2007 Open , White was also crowned the first `` Burton Global Open Champion '' . His take for the event was $100,000 ( Global Open Champ ) , $20,000 ( 1st Place Halfpipe ) , $90,000 ( 3rd Place Slopestyle ) , and a new Corvette . On November 16 , 2008 , White released his first video game Shaun White Snowboarding in North America ( November 14 , 2008 , in Europe ) . Shaun White Snowboarding was the 20th best - selling game of December 2008 in the United States . 2009 White with Richard Branson in 2009 There was a lot of controversy over who won the 2009 SuperPipe at Winter X Games XIII . Kevin Pearce had 5 hits in the pipe , and all were the same tricks White did in his final run . White , on the other hand , had 6 hits and he started off his run with a big backside rodeo 540 where Pearce started his run off with a big grab .", "3": "Although Pearce went bigger , he had only 5 hits , and his first hit was n't as technical as White 's first hit . Judges came to the conclusion that White deserved the better score because he started off with a more technical trick and he had 1 more hit than Pearce . With the win , White became the second competitor , after Tanner Hall , to win a gold medal in the superpipe in consecutive years at the Winter X Games . He also won a gold medal in Slopestyle , finally winning gold after 2 straight years of bronze . On February 14 , 2009 , White won the FIS World Cup Men 's Halfpipe event at Vancouver 's Cypress Mountain . Out of the gate in his first qualifying run , he qualified immediately with the day 's best score of 45.5 . With a thumb sprained on an over-rotated backside 1080 in the second qualifying run , he clinched the event with the first of his two runs in the finals . His first finals run was awarded the highest score ever in FIS halfpipe , a 47.3 . 2010 Winter Olympics See also : Snowboarding at the 2010 Winter Olympics and 2010 Winter Olympics At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver , White again won gold in the halfpipe . In the finals , White recorded a score of 46.8 on his first run , which proved a high enough score to secure the gold medal without a second run . He performed his second run anyway , as a victory lap , ending his run with a well - anticipated Double McTwist 1260 which he named The Tomahawk . This second run resulted in a record score of 48.4 ( 50 is the highest possible score ) enlarging his margin of victory . His nearest competitor won the silver with a points total of 45.0 , 3.4 behind White . 2011 After a sub-par performance in the Slopestyle , failing to reach the finals , White `` redeemed '' himself in the Superpipe . With an 89 , he sat in second place going into his 2nd of three runs .", "4": "He completed the run , landing his infamous Double McTwist 1260 and finishing with a score of 97.33 to take the lead and claim the historical 4th straight Gold in the Winter X Games , held in Aspen Colorado . The score tied an X Games record which was set by White one year before . His 3rd run was a simple victory run featuring mostly straight air . 2012 At Winter X , White became the first person in the history of Winter X Games to score a perfect 100 in the men 's Snowboard Superpipe . 2013 White won his 6th consecutive SuperPipe victory , making him the second participant ever to achieve this , with SnoCross racer Tucker Hibbert achieving his 6th consecutive victory earlier in the same day . In December 2013 , he won the third place in the Pipe & Slope contest at the FIS Snowboard World Cup in Copper Mountain , Colorado . 2014 Winter Olympics White finished fourth at the 2014 Winter Olympics in the Halfpipe event . During the winter games , he was the most talked - about Olympic athlete on Facebook . 2018 Winter Olympics White after medalling at the 2018 Winter Olympics While in New Zealand , training for the 2018 Winter Olympics , White crashed into the edge of a superpipe ; the resulting injuries to his face required 62 stitches .

For other uses , see We Shall Overcome ( disambiguation ) . `` We Shall Overcome '' Play media Joan Baez performs `` We Shall Overcome '' at the White House in front of President Barack Obama , at a celebration of music from the period of the Civil Rights Movement ( February 9 , 2010 ) . Problems playing this file ? See media help . `` We Shall Overcome '' is a gospel song which became a protest song and a key anthem of the Civil Rights Movement . The song is most commonly attributed as being lyrically descended from `` I 'll Overcome Some Day '' , a hymn by Charles Albert Tindley that was first published in 1900 . The modern version of the song was first said to have been sung by tobacco workers led by Lucille Simmons during a 1945 strike in Charleston , South Carolina . In 1947 , the song was published under the title `` We Will Overcome '' in an edition of the People 's Songs Bulletin ( a publication of People 's Songs , an organization of which Pete Seeger was the director ) , as a contribution of and with an introduction by Zilphia Horton , then - music director of the Highlander Folk School of Monteagle , Tennessee ( an adult education school that trained union organizers ) . Horton said she had learned the song from Simmons , and she considered it to be her favorite song . She taught it to many others , including Pete Seeger , who included it in his repertoire , as did many other activist singers , such as Frank Hamilton and Joe Glazer , who recorded it in 1950 . The song became associated with the Civil Rights Movement from 1959 , when Guy Carawan stepped in with his and Seeger 's version as song leader at Highlander , which was then focused on nonviolent civil rights activism . It quickly became the movement 's unofficial anthem . Seeger and other famous folksingers in the early 1960s , such as Joan Baez , sang the song at rallies , folk festivals , and concerts in the North and helped make it widely known . Since its rise to prominence , the song , and songs based on it , have been used in a variety of protests worldwide . The U.S.", "1": "copyright of the People 's Songs Bulletin issue which contained `` We Will Overcome '' expired in 1976 , but The Richmond Organization asserted a copyright on the `` We Shall Overcome '' lyrics , registered in 1960 . In 2017 , in response to a lawsuit against TRO over allegations of false copyright claims , a U.S. judge issued an opinion that the registered work was insufficiently different from the `` We Will Overcome '' lyrics that had fallen into the public domain because of non-renewal . In January 2018 , the company agreed to a settlement under which it would no longer assert any copyright claims over the song .

A noted minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church , Tindley was the author of approximately 50 gospel hymns , of which `` We 'll Understand It By and By '' and `` Stand By Me '' are among the best known . The published text bore the epigraph , `` Ye shall overcome if ye faint not '' , derived from Galatians 6 : 9 : `` And let us not be weary in doing good , for in due season we shall reap , if we faint not . '' The first stanza began : The world is one great battlefield , With forces all arrayed ; If in my heart I do not yield , I 'll overcome some day . Tindley 's songs were written in an idiom rooted in African American folk traditions , using pentatonic intervals , with ample space allowed for improvised interpolation , the addition of `` blue '' thirds and sevenths , and frequently featuring short refrains in which the congregation could join .", "2": "Tindley 's importance , however , was primarily as a lyricist and poet whose words spoke directly to the feelings of his audiences , many of whom had been freed from slavery only 36 years before he first published his songs , and were often impoverished , illiterate , and newly arrived in the North . `` Even today , '' wrote musicologist Horace Boyer in 1983 , `` ministers quote his texts in the midst of their sermons as if they were poems , as indeed they are . '' A letter printed on the front page of the February 1909 , United Mine Workers Journal states : `` Last year at a strike , we opened every meeting with a prayer , and singing that good old song , ' We Will Overcome ' . '' This statement implied that the song was well - known , and it was also the first acknowledgement of such a song having been sung in both a secular context and a mixed - race setting . Tindley 's `` I 'll Overcome Some Day '' was believed to have influenced the structure for `` We Shall Overcome '' , with both the text and the melody having undergone a process of alteration . The tune has been changed so that it now echoes the opening and closing melody of `` No More Auction Block For Me '' , also known from its refrain as `` Many Thousands Gone '' . This was number 35 in Thomas Wentworth Higginson 's collection of Negro Spirituals that appeared in the Atlantic Monthly of June 1867 , with a comment by Higginson reflecting on how such songs were composed ( i.e. , whether the work of a single author or through what used to be called `` communal composition '' ) : Even of this last composition , however , we have only the approximate date and know nothing of the mode of composition . Allan Ramsay says of the Scots Songs , that , no matter who made them , they were soon attributed to the minister of the parish whence they sprang . And I always wondered , about these , whether they had always a conscious and definite origin in some leading mind , or whether they grew by gradual accretion , in an almost unconscious way . On this point I could get no information , though I asked many questions , until at last , one day when I was being rowed across from Beaufort to Ladies ' Island , I found myself , with delight , on the actual trail of a song .", "3": "One of the oarsmen , a brisk young fellow , not a soldier , on being asked for his theory of the matter , dropped out a coy confession . `` Some good spirituals , '' he said , `` are start jess out o ' curiosity . I been a-raise a sing , myself , once . '' My dream was fulfilled , and I had traced out , not the poem alone , but the poet . I implored him to proceed . `` Once we boys , '' he said , `` went for to tote some rice , and de nigger - driver , he keep a-callin ' on us ; and I say , ' O , de ole nigger - driver ! ' Den another said , ' First thing my mammy told me was , notin ' so bad as a nigger - driver . ' Den I made a sing , just puttin ' a word , and den another word . '' Then he began singing , and the men , after listening a moment , joined in the chorus as if it were an old acquaintance , though they evidently had never heard it before . I saw how easily a new `` sing '' took root among them . Coincidentally , Bob Dylan claims that he used the very same melodic motif from `` No More Auction Block '' for his composition , `` Blowin ' in the Wind '' . Thus similarities of melodic and rhythmic patterns imparted cultural and emotional resonance ( `` the same feeling '' ) towards three different , and historically very significant songs . Music scholars have also pointed out that the first half of `` We Shall Overcome '' bears a notable resemblance to the famous lay Catholic hymn `` O Sanctissima '' , also known as `` The Sicilian Mariners Hymn '' , first published by a London magazine in 1792 and then by an American magazine in 1794 and widely circulated in American hymnals . The second half of `` We Shall Overcome '' is essentially the same music as the 19th - century hymn `` I 'll Be All Right '' and it bears a close resemblance to the aria Caro Mio Ben , attributed to Neapolitan composer Tommaso Giordani or Giuseppe Giordani ; this is another late 18th - century Italian song that became a staple of 19th - century singers .", "4": "As Victor Bobetsky summarized in his 2015 book on the subject : `` ' We Shall Overcome ' owes its existence to many ancestors and to the constant change and adaptation that is typical of the folk music process . '' Role of the Highlander folk school ( edit ) In October 1945 in Charleston , South Carolina , members of the Food , Tobacco , Agricultural , and Allied Workers union ( FTA - CIO ) , who were mostly female and African American , began a five - month strike against the American Tobacco Company . To keep up their spirits during the cold , wet winter of 1945 -- 1946 , one of the strikers , a woman named Lucille Simmons , led a slow `` long meter style '' version of the gospel hymn , `` We 'll Overcome ( I 'll Be All Right ) '' to end each day 's picketing . Union organizer Zilphia Horton , who was the wife of the co-founder of the Highlander Folk School ( later Highlander Research and Education Center ) , said she learned it from Simmons . Horton was Highlander 's music director during 1935 -- 1956 , and it became her custom to end group meetings each evening by leading this , her favorite song . During the presidential campaign of Henry A. Wallace , `` We Will Overcome '' was printed in Bulletin No. 3 ( September 1948 ) , 8 , of People 's Songs , with an introduction by Horton saying that she had learned it from the interracial FTA - CIO workers and had found it to be extremely powerful . Pete Seeger , a founding member of People 's Songs and its director for three years , learned it from Horton 's version in 1947 . Seeger writes : `` I changed it to ' We shall ' ... I think I liked a more open sound ; ' We will ' has alliteration to it , but ' We shall ' opens the mouth wider ; the ' i ' in ' will ' is not an easy vowel to sing well ( ... ) . '' Seeger also added some verses ( `` We 'll walk hand in hand '' and `` The whole wide world around '' ) . In 1950 , the CIO 's Department of Education and Research released the album , Eight New Songs for Labor , sung by Joe Glazer ( `` Labor 's Troubador '' ) , and the Elm City Four .", "5": "( Songs on the album were : `` I Ai n't No Stranger Now , '' `` Too Old to Work , '' `` That 's All , '' `` Humblin ' Back , '' `` Shine on Me , '' `` Great Day , '' `` The Mill Was Made of Marble , '' and `` We Will Overcome '' . ) During a Southern CIO drive , Glazer taught the song to country singer Texas Bill Strength , who cut a version that was later picked up by 4 - Star Records . The song made its first recorded appearance as `` We Shall Overcome '' ( rather than `` We Will Overcome '' ) in 1952 on a disc recorded by Laura Duncan ( soloist ) and The Jewish Young Singers ( chorus ) , conducted by Robert De Cormier , co-produced by Ernie Lieberman and Irwin Silber on Hootenany Records ( Hoot 104 - A ) ( Folkways , FN 2513 , BCD15720 ) , where it is identified as a Negro Spiritual . Frank Hamilton , a folk singer from California who was a member of People 's Songs and later The Weavers , picked up Seeger 's version . Hamilton 's friend and traveling companion , fellow - Californian Guy Carawan , learned the song from Hamilton . Carawan and Hamilton , accompanied by Ramblin Jack Elliot , visited Highlander in the early 1950s where they also would have heard Zilphia Horton sing the song . In 1957 , Seeger sang for a Highlander audience that included Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. , who remarked on the way to his next stop , in Kentucky , about how much the song had stuck with him . When , in 1959 , Guy Carawan succeeded Horton as music director at Highlander , he reintroduced it at the school . It was the young ( many of them teenagers ) student - activists at Highlander , however , who gave the song the words and rhythms for which it is currently known , when they sang it to keep their spirits up during the frightening police raids on Highlander and their subsequent stays in jail in 1959 -- 1960 . Because of this , Carawan has been reluctant to claim credit for the song 's widespread popularity .", "6": "In the PBS video We Shall Overcome , Julian Bond credits Carawan with teaching and singing the song at the founding meeting of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in Raleigh , North Carolina , in 1960 . From there , it spread orally and became an anthem of Southern African American labor union and civil rights activism . Seeger has also publicly , in concert , credited Carawan with the primary role of teaching and popularizing the song within the Civil Rights Movement . Use in the 1960s Civil Rights and other protest movements ( edit ) In August 1963 , 22 - year old folksinger Joan Baez , led a crowd of 300,000 in singing `` We Shall Overcome '' at the Lincoln Memorial during A. Philip Randolph 's March on Washington . President Lyndon Johnson , himself a Southerner , used the phrase `` we shall overcome '' in addressing Congress on March 15 , 1965 , in a speech delivered after the violent , `` Bloody Sunday '' attacks on civil rights demonstrators during the Selma to Montgomery marches , thus legitimizing the protest movement . Dr. Martin Luther King , Jr. recited the words from `` We Shall Overcome '' in his final sermon delivered in Memphis on Sunday , March 31 , 1968 , before his assassination . He had done so in a similar sermon delivered in 1965 before an interfaith congregation at Temple Israel in Hollywood , California : We shall overcome . We shall overcome . Deep in my heart I do believe we shall overcome . And I believe it because somehow the arc of the moral universe is long , but it bends towards justice . We shall overcome because Carlyle is right ; `` no lie can live forever '' . We shall overcome because William Cullen Bryant is right ; `` truth crushed to earth will rise again '' . We shall overcome because James Russell Lowell is right : . Truth forever on the scaffold , Wrong forever on the throne . Yet that scaffold sways the future , And behind the then unknown Standeth God within the shadow , Keeping watch above his own . With this faith , we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope . With this faith , we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood .", "7": "With this faith , we will be able to speed up the day . And in the words of prophecy , every valley shall be exalted . And every mountain and hill shall be made low . The rough places will be made plain and the crooked places straight . And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together . This will be a great day . This will be a marvelous hour . And at that moment -- figuratively speaking in biblical words -- the morning stars will sing together and the sons of God will shout for joy `` We Shall Overcome '' was sung days later by over fifty thousand attendees at Dr. King 's funeral . Farmworkers in the United States later sang the song in Spanish during the strikes and grape boycotts of the late 1960s . The song was notably sung by the U.S. Senator for New York Robert F. Kennedy , when he led anti-Apartheid crowds in choruses from the rooftop of his car while touring South Africa in 1966 . It was also the song which Abie Nathan chose to broadcast as the anthem of the Voice of Peace radio station on October 1 , 1993 , and as a result it found its way back to South Africa in the later years of the Anti-Apartheid Movement . The Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association adopted `` we shall overcome '' as a slogan and used it in the title of its retrospective publication , We Shall Overcome -- The History of the Struggle for Civil Rights in Northern Ireland 1968 -- 1978 . The film Bloody Sunday depicts march leader and MP Ivan Cooper leading the song shortly before 1972 's Bloody Sunday shootings . In 1997 , the Christian men 's ministry , Promise Keepers featured the song on its worship CD for that year : The Making of a Godly Man , featuring worship leader Donn Thomas and the Maranatha ! Promise Band . Bruce Springsteen 's re-interpretation of the song was included on the 1998 tribute album Where Have All the Flowers Gone : The Songs of Pete Seeger as well as on Springsteen 's 2006 album We Shall Overcome : The Seeger Sessions . Widespread adaptation ( edit ) `` We Shall Overcome '' was adopted by various labor , nationalist , and political movements both during and after the Cold War .", "8": "In his memoir about his years teaching English in Czechoslovakia after the Velvet Revolution , Mark Allen wrote : `` In Prague in 1989 , during the intense weeks of the Velvet Revolution , hundreds of thousands of people sang this haunting music in unison in Wenceslas Square , both in English and in Czech , with special emphasis on the phrase ' I do believe . ' This song 's message of hope gave protesters strength to carry on until the powers - that - be themselves finally gave up hope themselves . In the Prague of 1964 , Seeger was stunned to find himself being whistled and booed by crowds of Czechs when he spoke out against the Vietnam War . But those same crowds had loved and adopted his rendition of ' We Shall Overcome . ' History is full of such ironies -- if only you are willing to see them . '' -- ' Prague Symphony ' , Praha Publishing , 2008 The melody was also used ( crediting it to Tindley ) in a symphony by American composer William Rowland . In 1999 , National Public Radio included `` We Shall Overcome '' on the `` NPR 100 '' list of most important American songs of the 20th century . As a reference to the line , on January 20 , 2009 , after the inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States , a man holding the banner , `` WE HAVE OVERCOME '' was seen near the Capitol , a day after hundreds of people posed with the sign on Martin Luther King Jr. day . As the attempted serial killer `` Lasermannen '' shot several immigrants around Stockholm in 1992 , Prime Minister Carl Bildt and Immigration Minister Birgit Friggebo attended a meeting in Rinkeby . As the audience became upset , Friggebo tried to calm them down by proposing that everyone sing `` We Shall Overcome . '' This statement is widely regarded as one of the most embarrassing moments in Swedish politics . In 2008 , the newspaper Svenska Dagbladet listed the Sveriges Television recording of the event as the best political clip available on YouTube . On June 7 , 2010 , Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame , released a new version of the song as a protest against the Israeli blockade of Gaza .", "9": "On July 22 , 2012 , Bruce Springsteen performed the song during the memorial - concert in Oslo after the terrorist attacks in Norway on July 22 , 2011 . In India , the renowned poet Girija Kumar Mathur composed its literal translation in Hindi `` Hum Honge Kaamyab ( हम होगें कामयाब ) '' which became a popular patriotic / spiritual song during the 1970s and 80s , particularly in schools . In Bengali - speaking India and Bangladesh , there are two versions , both of which are popular among school - children and political activists . `` Amra Korbo Joy '' ( আমরা করবো জয় , a literal translation ) was translated by the Bengali folk singer Hemanga Biswas and re-recorded by Bhupen Hazarika . Another version , translated by Shibdas Bandyopadhyay , `` Ek Din Shurjer Vor '' ( এক দিন সূর্যের ভোর , literally translated as `` One Day The Sun Will Rise '' ) was recorded by the Calcutta Youth Choir and arranged by Ruma Guha Thakurta during the 1971 Bangladesh War of Independence and it became one of the largest selling Bengali records . It was a favorite of Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and it was regularly sung at public events after Bangladesh gained its independence in the early 1970s . In the Indian State of Kerala , the traditional Communist stronghold , the song became popular on college campuses during the late 1970s . It was the struggle song of the Students Federation of India SFI , the largest student organisation in the country . The song translated to the regional language Malayalam by N.P. Chandrasekharan , an activist for SFI . The translation followed the same tune of the original song , as `` Nammal Vijayikkum '' . Later it was also published in Student , the monthly of SFI in Malayalam as well as in Sarvadesheeya Ganangal ( Mythri Books , Thiruvananthapuram ) , a translation of international struggle songs .", "10": "`` We Shall Overcome '' was a prominent song in the 2010 Bollywood film My Name is Khan , which compared the struggle of Muslims in modern America with the struggles of African Americans in the past . The song was sung in both English and Urdu in the film , which starred Shahrukh Khan . Copyright status ( edit ) The copyright status of `` We Shall Overcome '' was disputed in the late - 2010s . A copyright registration was made for the song in 1960 , which is credited as an arrangement by Zilphia Horton , Guy Carawan , Frank Hamilton , and Pete Seeger , of a work entitled `` I 'll Overcome '' , with no known original author . Horton 's heirs , Carawan , Hamilton , and Seeger share the artists ' half of the rights , and The Richmond Organization ( TRO ) , which includes Ludlow Music , Essex , Folkways Music , and Hollis Music , holds the publishers ' rights , to 50 % of the royalty earnings . Seeger explained that he registered the copyright under the advice of TRO , who showed concern that someone else could register it . `` At that time we did n't know Lucille Simmons ' name '' , Seeger said . Their royalties go to the `` We Shall Overcome '' Fund , administered by Highlander under the trusteeship of the `` writers '' . Such funds are purportedly used to give small grants for cultural expression involving African Americans organizing in the U.S. South . In April 2016 , the We Shall Overcome Foundation ( WSOF ) , led by music producer Isaias Gamboa , sued TRO and Ludlow , seeking to have the copyright status of the song clarified and the return of all royalties collected by the companies from its usage . The WSOF , which was working on a documentary about the song and its history , were denied permission to use the song by TRO - Ludlow . The filing argued that TRO - Ludlow 's copyright claims were invalid because the registered copyright had not been renewed as required by United States copyright law at the time ; because of this , the copyright of the 1948 People 's Songs publication containing `` We Will Overcome '' had expired in 1976 .", "11": "Additionally , it was argued that the registered copyrights only covered specific arrangements of the tune and `` obscure alternate verses '' , that the registered works `` did not contain original works of authorship , except to the extent of the arrangements themselves '' , and that no record of a work entitled `` I 'll Overcome '' existed in the database of the United States Copyright Office . The suit acknowledged that Seeger himself had not claimed to be an author of the song , stating of the song in his autobiography , `` No one is certain who changed ' will ' to ' shall . ' It could have been me with my Harvard education . But Septima Clarke , a Charleston schoolteacher ( who was director of education at Highlander and after the Civil Rights Movement was elected year after year to the Charleston , S.C. Board of Education ) always preferred ' shall . ' It sings better . '' He also reaffirmed that the decision to copyright the song was a defensive measure , with his publisher apparently warning him that `` if you do n't copyright this now , some Hollywood types will have a version out next year like ' Come on Baby , We shall overcome tonight ' '' . Furthermore , the liner notes of Seeger 's compilation album If I Had a Hammer : Songs of Hope & Struggle contained a summary on the purported history of the song , stating that `` We Shall Overcome '' was `` probably adapted from the 19th - century hymn , ' I 'll Be All Right ' '' , and that `` I 'll Overcome Some Day '' was a `` possible source '' and may have originally been adapted from `` I 'll Be All Right '' . Gamboa has historically shown interest in investigating the origins of `` We Shall Overcome '' ; in a book entitled We Shall Overcome : Sacred Song On The Devil 's Tongue , he notably disputed the song 's claimed origins and copyright registration with an alternate theory , suggesting that `` We Shall Overcome '' was actually derived from `` If My Jesus Wills '' , a hymn by Louise Shropshire that had been composed in the 1930s and had its copyright registered in 1954 . The WSOF lawsuit did not invoke this alternate history , focusing instead on the original belief that the song stemmed from `` We Will Overcome '' .", "12": "The lawyer backing Gamboa 's suit , Mark C. Rifkin , was previously involved in a case that invalidated copyright claims over the song `` Happy Birthday to You '' . On September 8 , 2017 , Judge Denise Cote of the Southern District of New York issued an opinion that there were insufficient differences between the first verse of the `` We Shall Overcome '' lyrics registered by TRO - Ludlow , and the `` We Will Overcome '' lyrics from People 's Songs ( specifically , the aforementioned replacement of `` will '' with `` shall '' , and changing `` down in my heart '' to `` deep in my heart '' ) for it to qualify as a distinct derivative work eligible for its own copyright . On January 26 , 2018 , TRO - Ludlow agreed to a final settlement , under which it would accept the district court 's opinion that it did not own a valid copyright to the melody and first verse of `` We Shall Overcome '' , and that it would no longer assert any of its copyright claims to the remaining verses of the song .

Writing credits for the song are shared by Don Felder ( music ) , Don Henley , and Glenn Frey ( lyrics ) . The Eagles ' original recording of the song features Henley singing the lead vocals and concludes with an extended section of electric guitar interplay between Felder and Joe Walsh . The song is considered the most famous recording by the band , and its long guitar coda has been voted the best guitar solo of all time by readers of Guitarist in 1998 . The song was awarded the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1978 . The lyrics of the song have been given various interpretations by fans and critics alike , the Eagles themselves described the song as their `` interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles '' . In the 2013 documentary History of the Eagles , Henley said that the song was about `` a journey from innocence to experience ... that 's all ... '' Since its release , `` Hotel California '' has been covered by a number of artists and has become a part of international popular culture .", "1": "Julia Phillips proposed adapting the song into a film , but the members of the Eagles disliked the idea and it never came to fruition . Commercially , `` Hotel California '' reached the number one position on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached the top ten of several international charts .

'' Glenn Frey provided the outline of `` Hotel California . '' Don Henley wrote the lyrics to `` Hotel California '' with Frey . The melody of the song was composed by Don Felder in a rented house on Malibu Beach . He recorded the basic tracks with a Rhythm Ace drum machine and added a 12 string guitar on a four - track recording deck in his spare bedroom , then mixed in a bassline , and gave Don Henley and Glenn Frey each a copy of the recording . Felder , who met the Eagles through his high school bandmate Bernie Leadon , said that Leadon advised him to make tapes of songs he wrote for the band so that other band members like Henley , whose forte is in writing lyrics , might work with him on finishing the songs they like . The demos he made were always instrumental , and on every album project he would submit 15 or 16 ideas . The demo he made for `` Hotel California '' showed influences from Latin and reggae music , and it grabbed the attention of Henley who said he liked the song that `` sounds like a Mexican reggae or Bolero '' , which gave the song its first working title , `` Mexican Reggae '' . Frey and Henley were both interested in the tune after hearing the demo , and discussed the concept for the lyrics . In 2008 , Felder described the writing of the lyrics : Don Henley and Glenn wrote most of the words .", "2": "All of us kind of drove into L.A. at night . Nobody was from California , and if you drive into L.A. at night ... you can just see this glow on the horizon of lights , and the images that start running through your head of Hollywood and all the dreams that you have , and so it was kind of about that ... what we started writing the song about . Henley decided on the theme of `` Hotel California '' , noting how The Beverly Hills Hotel had become a literal and symbolic focal point of their lives at that time . Henley said of their personal and professional experience in LA : `` We were getting an extensive education , in life , in love , in business . Beverly Hills was still a mythical place to us . In that sense it became something of a symbol , and the ' Hotel ' the locus of all that LA had come to mean for us . In a sentence , I 'd sum it up as the end of the innocence , round one . '' Frey came up with a cinematic scenario of a person who , tired from driving a long distance in a desert , saw a place for a rest and pulled in for the night , but entered `` a weird world peopled by freaky characters '' , and became `` quickly spooked by the claustrophobic feeling of being caught in a disturbing web from which he may never escape . '' In an interview with Cameron Crowe , Frey said that he and Henley wanted the song `` to open like an episode of the Twilight Zone '' , and added : `` We take this guy and make him like a character in The Magus , where every time he walks through a door there 's a new version of reality . We wanted to write a song just like it was a movie . '' Frey described the song in an interview with NBC 's Bob Costas as a cinematic montage `` just one shot to the next ... a picture of a guy on the highway , a picture of the hotel , the guy walks in , the door opens , strange people . '' Frey continued : `` We decided to create something strange , just to see if we could do it . '' Henley then wrote most of the lyrics based on Frey 's idea , and sought inspiration for the writing by driving out into the desert as well as from films and theater .", "3": "Part of the lyrics , such as `` Her mind is Tiffany twisted , she got the Mercedes bends / She got a lot of pretty pretty boys she calls friends '' , are based on Henley 's break - up with his girlfriend Loree Rodkin . According to Glenn Frey 's liner notes for The Very Best Of , the use of the word `` steely '' in the lyric , `` They stab it with their steely knives , but they just ca n't kill the beast , '' was a playful nod to the band Steely Dan , who had included the lyric `` Turn up the Eagles , the neighbors are listening '' in their song `` Everything You Did '' . Frey had also said that the writing of the song was inspired by the boldness of Steely Dan 's lyrics and its willingness to go `` out there '' , and thought that the song they wrote had `` achieved perfect ambiguity . '' Recordings The Eagles recorded the track with Don Henley on lead vocal three different times , twice at the Record Plant in Los Angeles and finally at the Criteria Studios in Miami . They first recorded a riff , but when it came to recording the vocal , it was found to be in too high a key for Henley 's voice , so Felder progressively lowered the key from E minor , eventually settling on B minor . The second recording however was judged too fast . In Miami , the band fine - tuned the instrumentation and the lyrics and recorded numerous takes . Five or six best ones were selected , and the best parts were then spliced together to create the released version . According to the producer Bill Szymczyk , there were 33 edits on the two ‐ inch master . The final section features a guitar battle between Joe Walsh ( who had replaced Bernie Leadon after Leadon 's departure from the band in 1975 ) and Felder , which took the two of them sitting together working for around three days to achieve the necessary precision . Walsh and Felder initially started improvising but Henley insisted that the recording should follow the music as first recorded in Felder 's demo . Henley decided that the song should be a single , although Felder had doubts and the record company was reluctant to release it because , at over six minutes , its duration far exceeded that of the songs generally played by radio stations .", "4": "The band took a stand and refused the label 's request to shorten the song . The song was released as the second single from the album after `` New Kid in Town '' . The front cover art for some overseas editions of the 45rpm single released was a reworked version of the Hotel California LP cover art , which used a photograph of the Beverly Hills Hotel by David Alexander , with design and art direction by Kosh . The Eagles performing `` Hotel California '' in Australia during their Long Road Out of Eden Tour As `` Hotel California '' became one of the group 's most popular songs and a concert staple for the band , live recordings of the song have therefore also been released . The first live recording of the song appeared on the Eagles ' 1980 live album , and an acoustic version with an extended intro is a track in the 1994 Hell Freezes Over reunion concert CD and video release . The Hell Freezes Over version is performed using eight guitars and has a decidedly Spanish sound , with Don Felder 's flamenco - inspired arrangement and intro . Chart performance `` Hotel California '' first entered the Billboard Hot 100 on chart dated February 26 , 1977 , and topped the Hot 100 singles chart for one week in May 1977 , the band 's fourth song to reach No. 1 on that chart . It peaked at number 10 on the Easy Listening chart in April 1977 . Billboard ranked it number 19 on its 1977 Pop Singles year - end chart . Three months after its first release , the single was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) , representing one million copies shipped . In 2009 , the song was further certified Platinum ( Digital Sales Award ) by the RIAA for sales of one million digital downloads , and has since sold over 3 million downloads . Accolades The Eagles won the 1977 Grammy Award for Record of the Year for `` Hotel California '' at the 20th Grammy Awards in 1978 . The song is rated highly in many rock music lists and polls ; Rolling Stone magazine ranked it number 49 on its list of `` The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time '' . It was named one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll .", "5": "At the induction of the Eagles into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 , all seven former and present members of the band reunited to perform `` Hotel California '' . The song 's guitar solo was voted the best solo of all time by readers of Guitarist magazine in 1998 , and was ranked 8th on Guitar Magazine 's Top 100 Guitar Solos . The song was also included in the music video game Guitar Hero World Tour . It was ranked the number 1 in the list of the best 12 - string guitar songs of all times by Guitar World magazine in 2015 . Themes and interpretations Don Henley has given a number of explanations about the song , ranging from `` a journey from innocence to experience '' to `` a sociopolitical statement '' . In an interview with Rolling Stone , Henley said that the song was meant to be `` more of a symbolic piece about America in general '' , and added : `` Lyrically , the song deals with traditional or classical themes of conflict : darkness and light , good and evil , youth and age , the spiritual versus the secular . I guess you could say it 's a song about loss of innocence . '' The song has been described as being `` all about American decadence and burnout , too much money , corruption , drugs and arrogance ; too little humility and heart . '' It has also been interpreted as an allegory about hedonism , self - destruction , and greed in the music industry of the late 1970s . Don Henley called it `` our interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles '' , and later said : `` It 's basically a song about the dark underbelly of the American dream and about excess in America , which is something we knew a lot about . '' In the 2013 documentary , History of the Eagles , Henley reiterated : On just about every album we made , there was some kind of commentary on the music business , and on American culture in general . The hotel itself could be taken as a metaphor not only for the myth - making of Southern California , but for the myth - making that is the American Dream , because it is a fine line between the American Dream , and the American nightmare .", "6": "In a 2009 interview , The Plain Dealer music critic John Soeder asked Don Henley if he regretted writing the lines `` So I called up the captain / ' Please bring me my wine ' / He said , ' We have n't had that spirit here since 1969 ' '' because wines are fermented while spirits are distilled . Henley responded : Thanks for the tutorial and , no , you 're not the first to bring this to my attention -- and you 're not the first to completely misinterpret the lyric and miss the metaphor . Believe me , I 've consumed enough alcoholic beverages in my time to know how they are made and what the proper nomenclature is . But that line in the song has little or nothing to do with alcoholic beverages . It 's a sociopolitical statement . My only regret would be having to explain it in detail to you , which would defeat the purpose of using literary devices in songwriting and lower the discussion to some silly and irrelevant argument about chemical processes . In his Encyclopedia of Great Popular Song Recordings , Volume 1 , Steve Sullivan theorizes that the `` spirit '' that the Hotel California has n't had since 1969 refers to the spirit of social activism of the 1960s , and how disco and the related pop music of the mid-1970s had turned away from it . Conjectures The metaphorical character of the story related in the lyrics has inspired a number of conjectural interpretations by listeners . In the 1980s some Christian evangelists alleged that `` Hotel California '' referred to a San Francisco hotel that was purchased by Anton LaVey and converted into his Church of Satan . Other rumors suggested that the Hotel California was the Camarillo State Mental Hospital . The term `` colitas '' in the first stanza ( `` warm smell of colitas , rising up through the air '' ) has been interpreted as a sexual slang or a reference to marijuana . `` Colitas '' means `` little tails '' in Spanish ; in Mexican slang it refers to buds of the cannabis ( marijuana ) plant . According to Glenn Frey , the `` warm smell '' is `` colitas ... it means little tails , the very top of the plant . ''", "7": "The Eagles ' manager Irving Azoff appears to lend support to the marijuana hypothesis , however , Felder said : `` The colitas is a plant that grows in the desert that blooms at night , and it has this kind of pungent , almost funky smell . Don Henley came up with a lot of the lyrics for that song , and he came up with colitas . '' Other interpretations of the songs include heroin addiction and cannibalism . On the various interpretations , Henley said : `` Some of the wilder interpretations of that song have been amazing . It was really about the excesses of American culture and certain girls we knew . But it was also about the uneasy balance between art and commerce . '' Harmonic structure The intro and verse 's chord pattern counts eight measures , each one assigned to a single chord . Seven different chords are used in the eight measures . As the song opens , it is not until the eighth measure that a chord is repeated . The song is initially in the key of B - minor . The presence of E major gives a hint of B Dorian . The chords are played as follows : Bm -- F ♯ -- A -- E -- G -- D -- Em -- F ♯ or i -- V -- VII -- IV -- VI -- III -- iv -- V The eight measure sequence is repeated in the intro , for each verse and in the outro , providing the harmonic framework for the entire extended dual guitar solo at the end of the song . One explanation of the progression is that it is a common flamenco chord progression called the `` Spanish progression '' ( i -- VII -- VI -- V in a phrygian context ) that is interspersed with consecutive fifths . With its descending ostinato pattern , it could be considered a fandango , a forerunner of the Baroque chaconne form . This chord sequence is not commonly used , and Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull has pointed out its similarity to his song `` We Used to Know '' from their 1969 album Stand Up , suggesting the Eagles heard it when they toured together . While the Eagles did open for Jethro Tull in June 1972 , Don Felder , who wrote the music , did not join the band until 1974 and would not have been in the audience or backstage .", "8": "Felder has said that he had never heard `` We Used to Know '' , and that he was unfamiliar with Jethro Tull apart from the fact the frontman plays a flute . The chorus , or refrain , uses five of the song 's seven chords , structured with the melody in a way that shifts the key from B - minor to its relative major of D : G -- D -- F ♯ -- Bm -- G -- D -- Em -- F ♯ or assuming a key of D: IV -- I -- ii -- vi -- IV -- I -- ii -- III Cover versions , samples and parodies Al B. Sure ! recorded his rendition for his album , Private Times ... and the Whole 9 ! ( 1990 ) . Gipsy Kings recorded a flamenco version sung in Spanish , which was used in the soundtrack for the film The Big Lebowski . The Orb , under the name of Jam On The Mutha produced a version which charted at No. 62 on the UK chart in 1990 . Mike Piranha recorded `` Hotel Honolulu '' in 1998 , satirizing overdevelopment , crime , and other issues on Oahu , which became a local hit in Hawaii . The Romanian band Vama Veche recorded its version with different lyrics entitled `` Hotel Cişmigiu '' , sung in its native language . Alabama 3 covered the song for the album , La Peste ( 2000 ) . Nancy Sinatra recorded a cover version for her 2002 album California Girl , an album of songs about California . The Cat Empire recorded a version sung in French entitled `` L'hotel de Californie '' for Triple J 's Like a Version segment , and is included in its 2005 compilation album as well as the band 's 2003 live album On the Attack . The Killers and Rhythms del Mundo collaborated their version with Afro - Cuban music for the 2009 Artists ' Project Earth charity , and it appeared on the album Rhythms del Mundo Classics . Frank Ocean released a song that samples the entire instrumental track of `` Hotel California '' on his mixtape Nostalgia , Ultra ( 2011 ) , entitled `` American Wedding '' . It led to a threatened lawsuit from Don Henley for copyright infringement .", "9": "Cultural influence `` Hotel California '' and its lyrics have become absorbed into the wider culture around the world , and have been used by various writers and commentators to reflect on issues ranging from politics to social media and welfare , or as an observation on a particular situation . The lines `` We are programmed to receive / You can check out any time you like / But you can never leave ! '' were used by an economist to refer to how the appeal of an attractive `` Hotel California '' - type host country to foreign investors may be countered by the cost of exit on leaving the country . A term `` The Hotel California Effect '' was then used to refer to the negative effect of financial regulations on investment , and the problems foreign investors faced when getting their money out of China . It has also applied to other ideas such as leaving a service provider or social media network . A book titled Operation Hotel California : The Clandestine War Inside Iraq was written about the clandestine operation named after the song title by CIA -- US Special Forces teams in Iraqi Kurdistan in the lead - up to the Iraq War . Although the Eagles were noted for their reluctance to license their songs for use in shows , the song had been used in a number of films and television shows , such as The Big Lebowski ( performed by the Gipsy Kings ) , Absolutely Fabulous , and The Sopranos . Most recently it was used during the final scenes of the premiere episode of American Horror Story : Hotel in October 2015 . Proposed film adaptation According to Rolling Stone , Julia Phillips , the producer of films like Taxi Driver and Close Encounters of the Third Kind , was interested in shooting a movie based on the song 's story . The band members and Phillips met to discuss the project . In her memoir You 'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again , Phillips wrote that the band members were difficult to deal with and arrogant . Henley said that Phillips offered the band members cocaine and was `` nonplussed '' when they turned it down . Tension between the two parties ended the pre-development deal for the film . Rolling Stone reported that the band was not upset at this development , as they were not particularly enamored with the idea of `` Hotel California '' being adapted into a film . This was because Henley feared that he would lack control over the project .", "10": "Personnel Don Felder -- 12 - and 6 - string electric guitars , backing vocals Don Henley -- lead and backing vocals , drums , percussion Glenn Frey -- 12 - string acoustic guitar , backing vocals Joe Walsh -- electric guitar , backing vocals Randy Meisner -- bass , backing vocals Charts and certifications Weekly charts Chart ( 1977 ) Peak position Austria ( Ö3 Austria Top 40 ) 13 Belgium ( Ultratop 50 Flanders ) 24 Canada Top Singles ( RPM ) Canada Adult Contemporary ( RPM ) France ( SNEP ) Germany ( Official German Charts ) 6 Netherlands ( Single Top 100 ) 6 New Zealand ( Recorded Music NZ ) 5 Norway ( VG - lista ) 5 Switzerland ( Schweizer Hitparade ) UK Singles ( Official Charts Company ) 8 US Billboard Hot 100 US Adult Contemporary ( Billboard ) 10 Year - end charts Chart ( 1977 ) Peak position Canada Top 200 singles ( RPM ) 8 US Billboard Hot 100 19 Certifications Region Certification Certified units / Sales Italy ( FIMI ) Digital download Platinum 30,000 United Kingdom ( BPI ) Silver 250,000 United States ( RIAA ) Physical single Gold 1,000,000 United States ( RIAA ) Digital download Platinum 3,000,000 shipments figures based on certification alone sales + streaming figures based on certification alone References Jump up ^ `` Brand new classics '' .

The festival signifies the victory of good over evil , the arrival of spring , end of winter , and for many a festive day to meet others , play and laugh , forget and forgive , and repair broken relationships . It is also celebrated as a thanksgiving for a good harvest . It lasts for a night and a day , starting on the evening of the Purnima ( Full Moon day ) falling in the Vikram Samvat Hindu Calendar month of Phalguna , which falls somewhere between the end of February and the middle of March in the Gregorian calendar . The first evening is known as Holika Dahan or Chhoti Holi and the following day as Holi , Rangwali Holi , Dhuleti , Dhulandi , or Phagwah . Holi is an ancient Hindu religious festival which has become popular with non-Hindus in many parts of South Asia , as well as people of other communities outside Asia . In recent years the festival has spread to parts of Europe and North America as a spring celebration of love , frolic , and colours . Holi celebrations start on the night before Holi with a Holika Dahan where people gather , perform religious rituals in front of the bonfire , and pray that their internal evil be destroyed the way Holika , the sister of the demon king Hiranyakashipu , was killed in the fire .", "6": "The next morning is celebrated as Rangwali Holi -- a free - for - all festival of colours , where people smear each other with colours and drench each other . Water guns and water - filled balloons are also used to play and colour each other . Anyone and everyone is fair game , friend or stranger , rich or poor , man or woman , children and elders . The frolic and fight with colours occurs in the open streets , open parks , outside temples and buildings . Groups carry drums and other musical instruments , go from place to place , sing and dance . People visit family , friends and foes to throw coloured powders on each other , laugh and gossip , then share Holi delicacies , food and drinks . Some customary drinks include bhang ( marijuana ) , which is intoxicating . In the evening , after sobering up , people dress up and visit friends and family .

King Hiranyakashipu , according to a legend found in chapter 7 of Bhagavata Purana , was the king of demonic Asuras , and had earned a boon that gave him five special powers : he could be killed by neither a human being nor an animal , neither indoors nor outdoors , neither at day nor at night , neither by astra ( projectile weapons ) nor by any shastra ( handheld weapons ) , and neither on land nor in water or air . Hiranyakashipu grew arrogant , thought he was God , and demanded that everyone worship only him . Hiranyakashipu 's own son , Prahlada , however , disagreed . He was and remained devoted to Vishnu . This infuriated Hiranyakashipu . He subjected Prahlada to cruel punishments , none of which affected the boy or his resolve to do what he thought was right . Finally , Holika , Prahlada 's evil aunt , tricked him into sitting on a pyre with her . Holika was wearing a cloak that made her immune to injury from fire , while Prahlada was not . As the fire roared , the cloak flew from Holika and encased Prahlada , who survived while Holika burned .", "8": "Vishnu , the god who appears as an avatar to restore Dharma in Hindu beliefs , took the form of Narasimha - half human and half lion , at dusk ( when it was neither day nor night ) , took Hiranyakashyapu at a doorstep ( which was neither indoors nor outdoors ) , placed him on his lap ( which was neither land , water nor air ) , and then eviscerated and killed the king with his lion claws ( which were neither a handheld weapon nor a launched weapon ) . The Holika bonfire and Holi signifies the celebration of the symbolic victory of good over evil , of Prahlada over Hiranyakashipu , and of the fire that burned Holika . Krishna legend ( edit ) In the Braj region of India , where the Hindu deity Krishna grew up , the festival is celebrated until Rangpanchmi in commemoration of the divine love of Radha for Krishna . The festivities officially usher in spring , with Holi celebrated as a festival of love . There is a symbolic myth behind commemorating Krishna as well . As a baby , Krishna developed his characteristic dark blue skin colour because the she - demon Putana poisoned him with her breast milk . In his youth , Krishna despaired whether the fair - skinned Radha and other girls would like him because of his skin colour . His mother , tired of the desperation , asks him to approach Radha and colour her face in any colour he wanted . This he does , and Radha and Krishna became a couple . Ever since , the playful colouring of Radha 's face has been commemorated as Holi . Beyond India , these legends to explain the significance of Holi ( Phagwah ) are common in some Caribbean and South American communities of Indian origin such as Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago . It is also celebrated with great fervour in Mauritius . Other Hindu traditions ( edit ) Among other Hindu traditions such as Shaivism and Shaktism , the legendary significance of Holi is linked to Shiva in yoga and deep meditation , goddess Parvati wanting to bring back Shiva into the world , seeks help from the Hindu god of love called Kama on Vasant Panchami . The love god shoots arrows at Shiva , the yogi opens his third eye and burns Kama to ashes .", "9": "This upsets both Kama 's wife Rati ( Kamadevi ) and his own wife Parvati . Rati performs her own meditative asceticism for forty days , upon which Shiva understands , forgives out of compassion and restores the god of love . This return of the god of love , is celebrated on the 40th day after Vasant Panchami festival as Holi . The Kama legend and its significance to Holi has many variant forms , particularly in South India . Cultural significance ( edit ) The Holi festival has a cultural significance among various Hindu traditions of the Indian subcontinent . It is the festive day to end and rid oneself of past errors , to end conflicts by meeting others , a day to forget and forgive . People pay or forgive debts , as well as deal anew with those in their lives . Holi also marks the start of spring , for many the start of the new year , an occasion for people to enjoy the changing seasons and make new friends . Other Indian religions ( edit ) The festival has traditionally been also observed by non-Hindus , such as by Jains and Newar Buddhists ( Nepal ) . Sikhs have traditionally celebrated the festival , at least through the 19th century , with its historic texts referring to it as Hola . Guru Gobind Singh -- the last human guru of the Sikhs -- modified Holi with a three - day Hola Mohalla extension festival of martial arts . The extension started the day after the Holi festival in Anandpur Sahib , where Sikh soldiers would train in mock battles , compete in horsemanship , athletics , archery and military exercises . Holi was observed by Maharaja Ranjit Singh and his Sikh Empire that extended across what are now northern parts of India and Pakistan . According to a report by Tribune India , Sikh court records state that 300 mounds of colours were used in 1837 by Ranjit Singh and his officials in Lahore . Ranjit Singh would celebrate Holi with others in the Bilawal gardens , where decorative tents were set up . In 1837 , Sir Henry Fane who was the commander - in - chief of the British Indian army joined the Holi celebrations organised by Ranjit Singh .", "10": "A mural in the Lahore Fort was sponsored by Ranjit Singh and it showed the Hindu god Krishna playing Holi with gopis . After the death of Ranjit Singh , his Sikh sons and others continued to play Holi every year with colours and lavish festivities . The colonial British officials joined these celebrations . Description ( edit ) Radha and the Gopis celebrating Holi , with accompaniment of music instruments Holi is an important spring festival for Hindus , a national holiday in India , a regional holiday in Nepal and other countries . To many Hindus and some non-Hindus , it is a playful cultural event and an excuse to throw coloured water at friends or strangers in jest . It is therefore observed broadly in the Indian subcontinent . Holi is celebrated at the end of winter , on the last full moon day of the Hindu luni - solar calendar month marking the spring , making the date vary with the lunar cycle . The date falls typically in March , but sometimes late February of the Gregorian calendar . Holi snacks and drinks , post play with colours . Left : salty snacks , Middle : Gujia ( a stuffed energy wrap ) , Right : Thandai ( almonds - based chilled drink ) to which sometimes intoxicating `` bhang '' is added . The festival has many purposes ; most prominently , it celebrates the beginning of Spring . In 17th century literature , it was identified as a festival that celebrated agriculture , commemorated good spring harvests and the fertile land . Hindus believe it is a time of enjoying spring 's abundant colours and saying farewell to winter . To many Hindus , Holi festivities mark the beginning of the new year as well as an occasion to reset and renew ruptured relationships , end conflicts and rid themselves of accumulated emotional impurities from the past . It also has a religious purpose , symbolically signified by the legend of Holika . The night before Holi , bonfires are lit in a ceremony known as Holika Dahan ( burning of Holika ) or Little Holi . People gather near fires , sing and dance . The next day , Holi , also known as Dhuli in Sanskrit , or Dhulheti , Dhulandi or Dhulendi , is celebrated .", "11": "Children and youth spray coloured powder solutions ( gulal ) at each other , laugh and celebrate , while adults smear dry coloured powder ( abir ) on each other 's faces . Visitors to homes are first teased with colours , then served with Holi delicacies ( such as puranpoli , dahi - bada and gujia ) , desserts and drinks . After playing with colours , and cleaning up , people bathe , put on clean clothes , and visit friends and family . Like Holika Dahan , Kama Dahanam is celebrated in some parts of India . The festival of colours in these parts is called Rangapanchami , and occurs on the fifth day after Poornima ( full moon ) . History and rituals ( edit ) Holi is an ancient Hindu festival with its cultural rituals . It is mentioned in the Puranas , Dasakumara Charita , and by the poet Kālidāsa during the 4th century reign of Chandragupta II . The celebration of Holi is also mentioned in the 7th - century Sanskrit drama Ratnavali . The festival of Holi caught the fascination of European traders and British colonial staff by the 17th century . Various old editions of Oxford English Dictionary mention it , but with varying , phonetically derived spellings : Houly ( 1687 ) , Hooly ( 1698 ) , Huli ( 1789 ) , Hohlee ( 1809 ) , Hoolee ( 1825 ) , and Holi in editions published after 1910 . There are several cultural rituals associated with Holi : Prepare Holika pyre for bonfire Main article : Holika Dahan Shops start selling colours for Holi in the days and weeks beforehand Days before the festival people start gathering wood and combustible materials for the bonfire in parks , community centers , near temples and other open spaces .

Inside homes , people stock up on pigments , food , party drinks and festive seasonal foods such as gujiya , mathri , malpuas and other regional delicacies . Holika dahan On the eve of Holi , typically at or after sunset , the pyre is lit , signifying Holika Dahan .", "12": "The ritual symbolises the victory of good over evil . People gather around the fire to sing and dance . Play with colours Holi frolic and celebrations begin the morning after the Holika bonfire . There is no tradition of holding puja ( prayer ) , and the day is for partying and pure enjoyment . Children and young people form groups armed with dry colours , coloured solution and water guns ( pichkaris ) , water balloons filled with coloured water , and other creative means to colour their targets . In the Braj region of North India , women have the option to playfully hit men who save themselves with shields ; for the day , men are culturally expected to accept whatever women dish out to them . This ritual is called Lath Mar Holi . Traditionally , washable natural plant - derived colours such as turmeric , neem , dhak , and kumkum were used , but water - based commercial pigments are increasingly used . All colours are used . Everyone in open areas such as streets and parks is game , but inside homes or at doorways only dry powder is used to smear each other 's face . People throw colours and get their targets completely coloured up . It is like a water fight , but with coloured water . People take delight in spraying coloured water on each other . By late morning , everyone looks like a canvas of colours . This is why Holi is given the name `` Festival of Colours '' . Groups sing and dance , some playing drums and dholak . After each stop of fun and play with colours , people offer gujiya , mathri , malpuas and other traditional delicacies . Cold drinks , including adult drinks based on local intoxicating herbs , are also part of the Holi festivity . Other variations Friends form groups on Holi , play drums and music , sing and dance , as they move from one stop to another . In the Braj region around Mathura , in north India , the festivities may last more than a week . The rituals go beyond playing with colours , and include a day where men go around with shields and women have the right to playfully beat them on their shields with sticks . In south India , some worship and make offerings to Kaamadeva , the love god of Indian mythology .", "13": "The after party After a day of play with colours , people clean up , wash and bathe , sober up and dress up in the evening and greet friends and relatives by visiting them and exchanging sweets . Holi is also a festival of forgiveness and new starts , which ritually aims to generate harmony in the society .

Dwarka , a coastal city of Gujarat , celebrates Holi at the Dwarkadheesh temple and with citywide comedy and music festivities .", "14": "Falling in the Hindu month of Phalguna , Holi marks the agricultural season of the rabi crop . In Ahmedabad in Gujarat , in western India , a pot of buttermilk is hung high over the streets and young boys try to reach it and break it by making human pyramids . The girls try to stop them by throwing coloured water on them to commemorate the pranks of Krishna and the cowherd boys to steal butter and `` gopis '' while trying to stop the girls . The boy who finally manages to break the pot is crowned the Holi King . Afterwards , the men , who are now very colourful , go out in a large procession to `` alert '' people of Krishna 's possible appearance to steal butter from their homes . In some places there is a custom in undivided Hindu families that the woman beats her brother - in - law with a sari rolled up into a rope in a mock rage and tries to drench him with colours , and in turn , the brother - in - law brings sweets ( Indian desserts ) to her in the evening .

The Holi songs of Braj mandal are sung in pure Braj , the local language . Holi celebrated at Barsana is unique in the sense that here women chase men away with sticks . Males also sing provocative songs in a bid to invite the attention of women . Women then go on the offensive and use long staves called lathis to beat the men , who protect themselves with shields .

This is a historic tradition of the Braj region as well as the western region of India . An earthen pot filled with butter or other milk products is hung high by a rope . Groups of boys and men climb on each other 's shoulder to form pyramids to reach and break it , while girls and women sing songs and throw coloured water on the pyramid to distract them and make their job harder . This ritual sport continues in Hindu diaspora communities . Outside Braj , in the Kanpur area , Holi lasts seven days with colour . On the last day , a grand fair called Ganga Mela or the Holi Mela is celebrated . This Mela ( fair ) was started by freedom fighters who fought British rule in the First Indian War of Independence in 1857 under the leadership of Nana Saheb . The Mela is held at various ghats along the banks of the River Ganga in Kanpur , to celebrate the Hindus and Muslims who together resisted the British forces in the city in 1857 .

Holi Milan is also observed in Bihar , where family members and well wishers visit each other 's family , apply colours ( abeer ) on each other 's faces , and on feet , if elderly . Usually this takes place on the evening of Holi day after Holi with wet colours is played in the morning through afternoon . Due to large - scale internal migration issues faced by the people , recently this tradition has slowly begun to transform , and it is common to have Holi Milan on an entirely different day either before or after the actual day of Holi .

Traditionally , the festival commences with the burning of a thatched hut of hay and twigs . Young children go from house to house to collect money , locally known as nakadeng ( or nakatheng ) , as gifts on the first two days . The youths at night perform a group folk dance called Thabal chongba on the full moon night of Lamta ( Phalgun ) , traditionally accompanied by folk songs and rhythmic beats of the indigenous drum , but nowadays by modern bands and fluorescent lamps . In Krishna temples , devotees sing devotional songs , perform dances and celebrate with aber ( gulal ) wearing traditional white and yellow turbans . On the last day of the festival , large processions are taken out to the main Krishna temple near Imphal where several cultural activities are held . In recent decades , Yaosang , a type of Indian sport , has become common in many places of the valley , where people of all ages come out to participate in a number of sports that are somewhat altered for the holiday . Kerala ( edit ) Holi is locally called Ukkuli in Konkani or Manjal Kuli in Malayalam . It is celebrated around the Konkani temple called Gosripuram Thirumala temple .", "21": "Karnataka ( edit ) Traditionally , in rural Karnataka children collect money and wood in the weeks prior to Holi , and on `` Kamadahana '' night all the wood is put together and lit .

Punjab & himachal Pradesh ( edit ) In Punjab , Holi is preceded by Holika Dahan the night before . On the day of Holi , people engage in throwing colours on each other . During Holi in Punjab , walls and courtyards of rural houses are enhanced with drawings and paintings similar to rangoli in South India , mandana in Rajasthan , and rural arts in other parts of India . This art is known as chowk - poorana or chowkpurana in Punjab and is given shape by the peasant women of the state . In courtyards , this art is drawn on cloth . The art includes drawing tree motifs , flowers , ferns , creepers , plants , peacocks , palanquins , geometric patterns along with vertical , horizontal and oblique lines .", "22": "These arts add to the festive atmosphere . Nepal ( edit ) Preparing for Holika Dahan , Kathamandu , Nepal Locals Celebrating Holi In Kathmandu , Nepal Holi , along with many other Hindu festivals , is celebrated in Nepal as a national festival . It is an important major Nepal - wide festival along with Dashain and Tihar ( Dipawali ) . It is celebrated in the Nepali month of Phagun ( same date as Indian Holi ) , and signifies the legends of the Hindu god Krishna . Newar Buddhists and others worship Saraswati shrine in Vajrayogini temples and celebrate the festival with their Hindu friends . Traditional concerts are held in most cities in Nepal , including Kathmandu , Narayangarh , Pokhara , Hetauda , and Dharan , and are broadcast on television with various celebrity guests . People walk through their neighbourhoods to celebrate Holi by exchanging colours and spraying coloured water on one another . A popular activity is the throwing of water balloons at one another , sometimes called lola ( meaning water balloon ) . Many people mix bhang in their drinks and food , as is also done during Shivaratri . It is believed that the combination of different colours at this festival takes all sorrow away and makes life itself more colourful . Indian diaspora ( edit ) Over the years , Holi has become an important festival in many regions wherever Indian diaspora were either taken as indentured labourers during colonial era , or where they emigrated on their own , and are now present in large numbers such as in Africa , North America , Europe , Latin America , and parts of Asia such as Fiji . Suriname A celebration of Holi Festival in the United States Holi is a national holiday in Suriname . It is called Phagwa festival , and is celebrated to mark the beginning of spring and Hindu mythology . In Suriname , Holi Phagwa is a festival of colour . It is customary to wear old white clothes on this day , be prepared to get them dirty and join in the colour throwing excitement and party . Trinidad and Tobago Phagwa is normally celebrated in Trinidad and Tobago on the Sunday closest to the actual date of Phagwah .", "23": "It is celebrated with a lot of colour and splendour , along with the singing on traditional Phagwah songs or Chowtal ( gana ) . Guyana Drummers of Indo - Caribbean community celebrating Phagwah ( Holi ) in New York City , 2013 Phagwah is a national holiday in Guyana , and peoples of all races and religions participate in the celebrations . The main celebration in Georgetown is held at the Mandir in Prashad Nagar . Fiji Indo - Fijians celebrate Holi as festival of colours , folksongs and dances .

Holi marks the advent of spring and ripening of crops in Northern India . Not only it is a season of romance and excitement , folk songs and dances , it is also an occasion of playing with powder , perfumes and colours .

It is considered one of the most exhilarating religious holidays in existence . During this event , participants hold a bonfire , throw coloured powder at each other , and celebrate wildly . Pakistan ( edit ) Holi is celebrated by Pakistani Hindus , in various cities in the provinces of Punjab and Sindh , such as Karachi , Hazara , Rawalpindi , Sindh , Hyderabad , Multan and Lahore . Locals in Multan associate Holi and Prahlada with the Prahlada - Puri Temple . Holi was not a public holiday in Pakistan from 1947 to 2016 . Holi along with Diwali for Hindus , and Easter for Christians , was adopted as public holiday resolution by Pakistan 's parliament in 2016 , giving the local governments and public institutions the right to declare Holi as a holiday and grant leave for its minority communities , for the first time .", "24": "This decision has been controversial , with some Pakistanis welcoming the decision , while others criticising it , with the concern that declaring Holi a public holiday advertises a Hindu festival to Pakistani children . Traditional sources of colours ( edit ) Flowers of Dhak or Palash are used to make traditional colours The spring season , during which the weather changes , is believed to cause viral fever and cold . The playful throwing of natural coloured powders , called gulal has a medicinal significance : the colours are traditionally made of Neem , Kumkum , Haldi , Bilva , and other medicinal herbs prescribed by Āyurvedic doctors . Many colours are obtained by mixing primary colours . Artisans produce and sell many of the colours from natural sources in dry powder form , in weeks and months preceding Holi . Some of the traditional natural plant based sources of colours are : Orange and red The flowers of palash or tesu tree , also called the flame of the forest , are typical source of bright red and deep orange colours . Powdered fragrant red sandal wood , dried hibiscus flowers , madder tree , radish and pomegranate are alternate sources and shades of red . Mixing lime with turmeric powder creates an alternate source of orange powder , as does boiling saffron ( kesar ) in water . Green Mehendi and dried leaves of gulmohur tree offer a source of green colour . In some areas , the leaves of spring crops and herbs have been used as source of green pigment . Yellow Colours for Holi on sale at a market in Mysore Haldi ( turmeric ) powder is the typical source of yellow colour . Sometimes this is mixed with chickpeas , gram or other flour to get the right shade . Bael fruit , amaltas , species of chrysanthemums , and species of marigold are alternate sources of yellow . Blue Indigo plant , Indian berries , species of grapes , blue hibiscus and jacaranda flowers are traditional sources of blue colour for Holi . Magenta and purple Beetroot is the traditional source of magenta and purple colour . Often these are directly boiled in water to prepare coloured water . Brown Dried tea leaves offer a source of brown coloured water . Certain clays are alternate source of brown .", "25": "Black Species of grapes , fruits of amla ( gooseberry ) and vegetable carbon ( charcoal ) offer gray to black colours . Holi powder ( edit ) Synthetic colours ( edit ) A young man celebrating Holi Natural colours were used in the past to celebrate Holi safely by applying turmeric , sandalwood paste , extracts of flowers and leaves . As the spring - blossoming trees that once supplied the colours used to celebrate Holi have become more rare , chemically produced industrial dyes have been used to take their place in almost all of urban India . Due to the commercial availability of attractive pigments , slowly the natural colours are replaced by synthetic colours . As a result , it has caused mild to severe symptoms of skin irritation and inflammation . Lack of control over the quality and content of these colours is a problem , as they are frequently sold by vendors who do not know their origin . A 2007 study found that malachite green , a synthetic bluish - green dye used in some colours during Holi festival , was responsible for severe eye irritation in Delhi , if eyes were not washed upon exposure . Though the study found that the pigment did not penetrate through the cornea , malachite green is of concern and needs further study . Another 2009 study reports that some colours produced and sold in India contain metal - based industrial dyes , causing an increase in skin problems to some people in the days following Holi . These colours are produced in India , particularly by small informal businesses , without any quality checks and are sold freely in the market . The colours are sold without labeling , and the consumer lacks information about the source of the colours , their contents , and possible toxic effects . In recent years , several nongovernmental organisations have started campaigning for safe practices related to the use of colours . Some are producing and marketing ranges of safer colours derived from natural sources such as vegetables and flowers . These reports have galvanised a number of groups into promoting more natural celebrations of Holi . Development Alternatives , Delhi and Kalpavriksh , -- Kalpavriksh Environment Action Group , Pune , The CLEAN India campaign and Society for Child Development , through its Avacayam Cooperative Campaign have launched campaigns to help children learn to make their own colours for Holi from safer , natural ingredients .", "26": "Meanwhile , some commercial companies such as the National Botanical Research Institute have begun to market `` herbal '' dyes , though these are substantially more expensive than the dangerous alternatives . However , it may be noted that many parts of rural India have always resorted to natural colours ( and other parts of festivities more than colours ) due to availability . In urban areas , some people wear nose mask and sun glasses to avoid inhaling pigments and to prevent chemical exposure to eyes . Environmental impact ( edit ) An alleged environmental issue related to the celebration of Holi is the traditional Holika bonfire , which is believed to contribute to deforestation . Activists estimate Holika causes 30,000 bonfires every year , with each one burning approximately 100 kilograms of wood . This represents less than 0.0001 % of 350 million tons of wood India consumes every year , as one of the traditional fuels for cooking and other uses . The use of heavy metal - based pigments during Holi is also reported to cause temporary wastewater pollution , with the water systems recovering to pre-festival levels within 5 days . Flammability ( edit ) In June 2015 , hundreds of concert - goers in Bali District , Taiwan were severely injured in the Formosa Fun Coast explosion , including fifteen who died later in hospital , after three tons of corn starch powder mixed with food colouring was sprayed onto the crowd at a high velocity , causing a massive explosion . The method of powder application at the concert created `` an extremely dense dust cloud over the stage and its immediate vicinity '' . People near the stage were standing ankle deep in coloured corn starch powder and the powder was suspended into the air using air blowers as well as compressed gas canisters . Initial investigations into the explosion showed the ignition of the suspended corn starch powder was likely caused by a cigarette or spark .", "27": "An Asia One report states that such an explosion can occur , under certain conditions , not just with corn starch but with powder form of any agricultural product such as `` powdered milk , soya flour , cornflour , rice dust , spice powders , sugar , tapioca , cocoa powder , coconut shell dust , coffee dust , garlic powder , grass dust , malted hops , lemon peel dust , oat flour , peanut skins , tea and tobacco '' , and that `` the crucial element is not the composition of the powder itself , but whether it 's deployed under high pressure with a flame nearby . '' According to Williamson , flammable powder or dust suspended in air in high concentrations is explosive . Williamson notes that `` dust cloud explosions can only occur if the dust concentration is within certain limits . In general the lowest concentration of dust that can give a dust explosion is around 50 - 100 g / m3 and the maximum is 2 - 3 kg / m3 . These limits are dependent on the particular chemical in question . It is usually easy to see if a cloud is explosible , as visibility through a dust cloud - even at the lowest concentrations - is impaired . '' During traditional Holi celebrations in India , Rinehart writes , colours are exchanged in person by `` tenderly applying coloured powder to another person 's cheek '' , or by spraying and dousing others with buckets of coloured water . Influence on other cultures ( edit ) Holi celebrations in other cultures UNC South Africa Stanford University Germany Utah , United States New York City Malaysia Netherlands Brazil Russia The festival of Holi is increasingly celebrated in many parts of the world outside India Holi is celebrated as a social event in parts of the United States . For example , at Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork , Utah , NYC Holi Hai in Manhattan , New York and Festival of Colors : Holi NYC in New York City , New York , Holi is celebrated as the Festival of Color , where thousands of people gather from all over the United States , play and mingle . Holi - inspired events ( edit ) A number of Holi - inspired social events have also surfaced , particularly in Europe and the United States , often organised by companies as for - profit or charity events with paid admission , and with varying scheduling that does not coincide with the actual Holi festival .", "28": "These have included Holi - inspired music festivals such as the Festival Of Colours Tour and Holi One ( which feature timed throws of Holi powder ) , and 5K run franchises such as The Color Run , Holi Run and Color Me Rad , in which participants are doused with the powder at per - kilometre checkpoints . There have been concerns that these events appropriate and trivialise aspects of Holi for commercial gain -- downplaying or completely ignoring the cultural and spiritual roots of the celebration . Organisers of these events have argued that the costs are to cover various key aspects of their events , such as safe colour powders , safety and security , and entertainment .

Some Hindu calendars emphasise the solar cycle , some the lunar cycle . Further , the regional calendars feature two traditions of Amanta and Purnimanta systems , wherein the similar sounding months refer to different parts of a lunar cycle , thus further diversifying the nomenclature . The Hindu festival of Holi falls on the first ( full moon ) day of Chaitra lunar month 's dark fortnight in the Purnimanta system , while the same exact day for Holi is expressed in Amanta system as the lunar day of Phalguna Purnima . Both time measuring and dating systems are equivalent ways of meaning the same thing , they continue to be in use in different regions . In regions where the local calendar places it in its Phalguna month , Holi is also called Phaguwa .

{ "0": "Koch 's postulates - wikipedia Koch 's postulates Jump to : navigation , search Robert Hermann Koch ( 11 December 1843 -- 27 May 1910 ) was a German physician who developed Koch 's postulates . Koch 's postulates ( / ˈkɔːx / ) are four criteria designed to establish a causative relationship between a microbe and a disease . The postulates were formulated by Robert Koch and Friedrich Loeffler in 1884 , based on earlier concepts described by Jakob Henle , and refined and published by Koch in 1890 . Koch applied the postulates to describe the etiology of cholera and tuberculosis , but they have been controversially generalized to other diseases . These postulates were generated prior to understanding of modern concepts in microbial pathogenesis that can not be examined using Koch 's postulates , including viruses ( which are obligate cellular parasites ) or asymptomatic carriers . They have largely been supplanted by other criteria such as the Bradford Hill criteria for infectious disease causality in modern public health . Contents ( hide ) 1 The postulates 2 History 3 For the 21st century 4 See also 5 References 6 Further reading The postulates ( edit ) Koch 's postulates of disease . Koch 's postulates are the following : The microorganism must be found in abundance in all organisms suffering from the disease , but should not be found in healthy organisms . The microorganism must be isolated from a diseased organism and grown in pure culture . The cultured microorganism should cause disease when introduced into a healthy organism . The microorganism must be reisolated from the inoculated , diseased experimental host and identified as being identical to the original specific causative agent . However , Koch abandoned the universalist requirement of the first postulate altogether when he discovered asymptomatic carriers of cholera and , later , of typhoid fever .", "1": "Asymptomatic or subclinical infection carriers are now known to be a common feature of many infectious diseases , especially viruses such as polio , herpes simplex , HIV , and hepatitis C. As a specific example , all doctors and virologists agree that poliovirus causes paralysis in just a few infected subjects , and the success of the polio vaccine in preventing disease supports the conviction that the poliovirus is the causative agent . The second postulate may also be suspended for certain microorganisms or entities that can not ( at the present time ) be grown in pure culture . Viruses also require host cells to grow and reproduce and therefore can not be grown in pure cultures . The third postulate specifies `` should '' , not `` must '' , because as Koch himself proved in regard to both tuberculosis and cholera , not all organisms exposed to an infectious agent will acquire the infection . Noninfection may be due to such factors as general health and proper immune functioning ; acquired immunity from previous exposure or vaccination ; or genetic immunity , as with the resistance to malaria conferred by possessing at least one sickle cell allele . There are a few other exceptions to Koch 's postulates . A single pathogen can cause several disease conditions . Additionally , a single disease condition can be caused by several different microorganisms . Some pathogens can not be cultured in the lab , and some pathogens only cause disease in the human species . In summary , an infectious agent that satisfies Koch 's postulates is necessary but not necessarily sufficient to cause a specific illness . History ( edit ) Koch 's postulates were developed in the 19th century as general guidelines to identify pathogens that could be isolated with the techniques of the day . Even in Koch 's time , it was recognized that some infectious agents were clearly responsible for disease even though they did not fulfill all of the postulates . Attempts to rigidly apply Koch 's postulates to the diagnosis of viral diseases in the late 19th century , at a time when viruses could not be seen or isolated in culture , may have impeded the early development of the field of virology . Koch 's postulates have been recognized as largely obsolete by epidemiologists since the 1950s . Therefore , while Koch 's postulates retain historical importance and continue to inform the approach to microbiologic diagnosis , they are not routinely used to demonstrate causality .", "2": "Koch 's postulates have also influenced scientists who examine microbial pathogenesis from a molecular point of view . In the 1980s , a molecular version of Koch 's postulates was developed to guide the identification of microbial genes encoding virulence factors . That HIV causes AIDS does not follow from Koch 's postulates , which may have supported HIV / AIDS denialism . Also Oncoviruses causing cancers does not follow Koch 's postulates . For the 21st century ( edit ) This section includes a list of references , but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations . Please help to improve this section by introducing more precise citations . ( January 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Koch 's postulates have played an important role in microbiology , yet they have major limitations . For example , Koch was well aware that in the case of cholera , the causal agent , Vibrio cholerae , could be found in both sick and healthy people , invalidating his first postulate . Furthermore , viral diseases were not yet discovered when Koch formulated his postulates , and there are many viruses that do not cause illness in all infected individuals , a requirement of the first postulate . Additionally , it was known through experimentation that H. pylori caused mild inflammation of the gastric lining when ingested . As evident as the inflammation was , it still did not immediately convince skeptics that H. pylori was associated with ulcers . Eventually , skeptics were silenced when a newly developed antibiotic treatment eliminated the bacteria and ultimately cured the disease . Contradictions and occurrences such as these have led many to believe that a fifth postulate may be required . If enacted , this postulate would state that sufficient microbial data should allow scientists to treat , cure , or prevent the particular disease . More recently , modern nucleic acid - based microbial detection methods have made Koch 's original postulates even less relevant . These nucleic acid - based methods make it possible to identify microbes that are associated with a disease , but in many cases the microbes are uncultivable . Also , nucleic acid - based detection methods are very sensitive , and they can often detect the very low levels of viruses that are found in healthy people without disease .", "3": "The use of these new methods has led to revised versions of Koch 's postulates : Fredricks and Relman have suggested the following set of Koch 's postulates for the 21st century : A nucleic acid sequence belonging to a putative pathogen should be present in most cases of an infectious disease . Microbial nucleic acids should be found preferentially in those organs or gross anatomic sites known to be diseased , and not in those organs that lack pathology . Fewer , or no , copies of pathogen - associated nucleic acid sequences should occur in hosts or tissues without disease . With resolution of disease , the copy number of pathogen - associated nucleic acid sequences should decrease or become undetectable . With clinical relapse , the opposite should occur . When sequence detection predates disease , or sequence copy number correlates with severity of disease or pathology , the sequence - disease association is more likely to be a causal relationship . The nature of the microorganism inferred from the available sequence should be consistent with the known biological characteristics of that group of organisms . Tissue - sequence correlates should be sought at the cellular level : efforts should be made to demonstrate specific in situ hybridization of microbial sequence to areas of tissue pathology and to visible microorganisms or to areas where microorganisms are presumed to be located . These sequence - based forms of evidence for microbial causation should be reproducible . These modifications are still controversial in that they do not account well for established disease associations , such as papillomavirus and cervical cancer , nor do they take into account prion diseases , which have no nucleic acid sequences of their own .

Since energy and mass are equivalent , all forms of energy ( including light ) cause gravitation and are under the influence of it . On Earth , gravity gives weight to physical objects , and the Moon 's gravity causes the ocean tides . The gravitational attraction of the original gaseous matter present in the Universe caused it to begin coalescing , forming stars -- and for the stars to group together into galaxies -- so gravity is responsible for many of the large scale structures in the Universe . Gravity has an infinite range , although its effects become increasingly weaker on farther objects . Gravity is most accurately described by the general theory of relativity ( proposed by Albert Einstein in 1915 ) which describes gravity not as a force , but as a consequence of the curvature of spacetime caused by the uneven distribution of mass . The most extreme example of this curvature of spacetime is a black hole , from which nothing -- not even light -- can escape once past the black hole 's event horizon . However , for most applications , gravity is well approximated by Newton 's law of universal gravitation , which describes gravity as a force which causes any two bodies to be attracted to each other , with the force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them . Gravity is the weakest of the four fundamental forces of physics , approximately 10 times weaker than the strong force , 10 times weaker than the electromagnetic force and 10 times weaker than the weak force . As a consequence , it has no significant influence at the level of subatomic particles . In contrast , it is the dominant force at the macroscopic scale , and is the cause of the formation , shape and trajectory ( orbit ) of astronomical bodies . For example , gravity causes the Earth and the other planets to orbit the Sun , it also causes the Moon to orbit the Earth , and causes the formation of tides , the formation and evolution of the Solar System , stars and galaxies .", "3": "The earliest instance of gravity in the Universe , possibly in the form of quantum gravity , supergravity or a gravitational singularity , along with ordinary space and time , developed during the Planck epoch ( up to 10 seconds after the birth of the Universe ) , possibly from a primeval state , such as a false vacuum , quantum vacuum or virtual particle , in a currently unknown manner . Attempts to develop a theory of gravity consistent with quantum mechanics , a quantum gravity theory , which would allow gravity to be united in a common mathematical framework ( a theory of everything ) with the other three forces of physics , are a current area of research .

In his famous ( though possibly apocryphal ) experiment dropping balls from the Tower of Pisa , and later with careful measurements of balls rolling down inclines , Galileo showed that gravitational acceleration is the same for all objects . This was a major departure from Aristotle 's belief that heavier objects have a higher gravitational acceleration . Galileo postulated air resistance as the reason that objects with less mass fall more slowly in an atmosphere . Galileo 's work set the stage for the formulation of Newton 's theory of gravity .", "4": "Newton 's theory of gravitation Main article : Newton 's law of universal gravitation Sir Isaac Newton , an English physicist who lived from 1642 to 1727 In 1687 , English mathematician Sir Isaac Newton published Principia , which hypothesizes the inverse - square law of universal gravitation . In his own words , `` I deduced that the forces which keep the planets in their orbs must ( be ) reciprocally as the squares of their distances from the centers about which they revolve : and thereby compared the force requisite to keep the Moon in her Orb with the force of gravity at the surface of the Earth ; and found them answer pretty nearly . '' The equation is the following : F = G m 1 m 2 r 2 ( \\ displaystyle F = G ( \\ frac ( m_ ( 1 ) m_ ( 2 ) ) ( r ^ ( 2 ) ) ) \\ ) Where F is the force , m and m are the masses of the objects interacting , r is the distance between the centers of the masses and G is the gravitational constant . Newton 's theory enjoyed its greatest success when it was used to predict the existence of Neptune based on motions of Uranus that could not be accounted for by the actions of the other planets . Calculations by both John Couch Adams and Urbain Le Verrier predicted the general position of the planet , and Le Verrier 's calculations are what led Johann Gottfried Galle to the discovery of Neptune . A discrepancy in Mercury 's orbit pointed out flaws in Newton 's theory . By the end of the 19th century , it was known that its orbit showed slight perturbations that could not be accounted for entirely under Newton 's theory , but all searches for another perturbing body ( such as a planet orbiting the Sun even closer than Mercury ) had been fruitless . The issue was resolved in 1915 by Albert Einstein 's new theory of general relativity , which accounted for the small discrepancy in Mercury 's orbit . Although Newton 's theory has been superseded by Einstein 's general relativity , most modern non-relativistic gravitational calculations are still made using Newton 's theory because it is simpler to work with and it gives sufficiently accurate results for most applications involving sufficiently small masses , speeds and energies .", "5": "Equivalence principle The equivalence principle , explored by a succession of researchers including Galileo , Loránd Eötvös , and Einstein , expresses the idea that all objects fall in the same way , and that the effects of gravity are indistinguishable from certain aspects of acceleration and deceleration . The simplest way to test the weak equivalence principle is to drop two objects of different masses or compositions in a vacuum and see whether they hit the ground at the same time . Such experiments demonstrate that all objects fall at the same rate when other forces ( such as air resistance and electromagnetic effects ) are negligible . More sophisticated tests use a torsion balance of a type invented by Eötvös . Satellite experiments , for example STEP , are planned for more accurate experiments in space . Formulations of the equivalence principle include : The weak equivalence principle : The trajectory of a point mass in a gravitational field depends only on its initial position and velocity , and is independent of its composition . The Einsteinian equivalence principle : The outcome of any local non-gravitational experiment in a freely falling laboratory is independent of the velocity of the laboratory and its location in spacetime . The strong equivalence principle requiring both of the above .

The starting point for general relativity is the equivalence principle , which equates free fall with inertial motion and describes free - falling inertial objects as being accelerated relative to non-inertial observers on the ground . In Newtonian physics , however , no such acceleration can occur unless at least one of the objects is being operated on by a force . Einstein proposed that spacetime is curved by matter , and that free - falling objects are moving along locally straight paths in curved spacetime . These straight paths are called geodesics . Like Newton 's first law of motion , Einstein 's theory states that if a force is applied on an object , it would deviate from a geodesic . For instance , we are no longer following geodesics while standing because the mechanical resistance of the Earth exerts an upward force on us , and we are non-inertial on the ground as a result . This explains why moving along the geodesics in spacetime is considered inertial . Einstein discovered the field equations of general relativity , which relate the presence of matter and the curvature of spacetime and are named after him . The Einstein field equations are a set of 10 simultaneous , non-linear , differential equations . The solutions of the field equations are the components of the metric tensor of spacetime . A metric tensor describes a geometry of spacetime . The geodesic paths for a spacetime are calculated from the metric tensor .", "8": "Solutions Notable solutions of the Einstein field equations include : The Schwarzschild solution , which describes spacetime surrounding a spherically symmetric non-rotating uncharged massive object . For compact enough objects , this solution generated a black hole with a central singularity . For radial distances from the center which are much greater than the Schwarzschild radius , the accelerations predicted by the Schwarzschild solution are practically identical to those predicted by Newton 's theory of gravity . The Reissner - Nordström solution , in which the central object has an electrical charge . For charges with a geometrized length which are less than the geometrized length of the mass of the object , this solution produces black holes with double event horizons . The Kerr solution for rotating massive objects . This solution also produces black holes with multiple event horizons . The Kerr - Newman solution for charged , rotating massive objects . This solution also produces black holes with multiple event horizons . The cosmological Friedmann - Lemaître - Robertson - Walker solution , which predicts the expansion of the Universe . Tests The tests of general relativity included the following : General relativity accounts for the anomalous perihelion precession of Mercury . The prediction that time runs slower at lower potentials ( gravitational time dilation ) has been confirmed by the Pound -- Rebka experiment ( 1959 ) , the Hafele -- Keating experiment , and the GPS . The prediction of the deflection of light was first confirmed by Arthur Stanley Eddington from his observations during the Solar eclipse of 29 May 1919 . Eddington measured starlight deflections twice those predicted by Newtonian corpuscular theory , in accordance with the predictions of general relativity . However , his interpretation of the results was later disputed . More recent tests using radio interferometric measurements of quasars passing behind the Sun have more accurately and consistently confirmed the deflection of light to the degree predicted by general relativity . See also gravitational lens . The time delay of light passing close to a massive object was first identified by Irwin I. Shapiro in 1964 in interplanetary spacecraft signals . Gravitational radiation has been indirectly confirmed through studies of binary pulsars . On 11 February 2016 , the LIGO and Virgo collaborations announced the first observation of a gravitational wave .", "9": "Alexander Friedmann in 1922 found that Einstein equations have non-stationary solutions ( even in the presence of the cosmological constant ) . In 1927 Georges Lemaître showed that static solutions of the Einstein equations , which are possible in the presence of the cosmological constant , are unstable , and therefore the static Universe envisioned by Einstein could not exist . Later , in 1931 , Einstein himself agreed with the results of Friedmann and Lemaître . Thus general relativity predicted that the Universe had to be non-static -- it had to either expand or contract . The expansion of the Universe discovered by Edwin Hubble in 1929 confirmed this prediction . The theory 's prediction of frame dragging was consistent with the recent Gravity Probe B results . General relativity predicts that light should lose its energy when traveling away from massive bodies through gravitational redshift . This was verified on earth and in the solar system around 1960 . Gravity and quantum mechanics Main articles : Graviton and Quantum gravity In the decades after the discovery of general relativity , it was realized that general relativity is incompatible with quantum mechanics . It is possible to describe gravity in the framework of quantum field theory like the other fundamental forces , such that the attractive force of gravity arises due to exchange of virtual gravitons , in the same way as the electromagnetic force arises from exchange of virtual photons . This reproduces general relativity in the classical limit . However , this approach fails at short distances of the order of the Planck length , where a more complete theory of quantum gravity ( or a new approach to quantum mechanics ) is required . Specifics Earth 's gravity An initially - stationary object which is allowed to fall freely under gravity drops a distance which is proportional to the square of the elapsed time . This image spans half a second and was captured at 20 flashes per second . Main article : Earth 's gravity Every planetary body ( including the Earth ) is surrounded by its own gravitational field , which can be conceptualized with Newtonian physics as exerting an attractive force on all objects . Assuming a spherically symmetrical planet , the strength of this field at any given point above the surface is proportional to the planetary body 's mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of the body .", "10": "If an object with comparable mass to that of the Earth were to fall towards it , then the corresponding acceleration of the Earth would be observable . The strength of the gravitational field is numerically equal to the acceleration of objects under its influence . The rate of acceleration of falling objects near the Earth 's surface varies very slightly depending on latitude , surface features such as mountains and ridges , and perhaps unusually high or low sub-surface densities . For purposes of weights and measures , a standard gravity value is defined by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures , under the International System of Units ( SI ) . That value , denoted g , is g = 9.80665 m / s ( 32.1740 ft / s ) . The standard value of 9.80665 m / s is the one originally adopted by the International Committee on Weights and Measures in 1901 for 45 ° latitude , even though it has been shown to be too high by about five parts in ten thousand . This value has persisted in meteorology and in some standard atmospheres as the value for 45 ° latitude even though it applies more precisely to latitude of 45 ° 32'33 `` . Assuming the standardized value for g and ignoring air resistance , this means that an object falling freely near the Earth 's surface increases its velocity by 9.80665 m / s ( 32.1740 ft / s or 22 mph ) for each second of its descent . Thus , an object starting from rest will attain a velocity of 9.80665 m / s ( 32.1740 ft / s ) after one second , approximately 19.62 m / s ( 64.4 ft / s ) after two seconds , and so on , adding 9.80665 m / s ( 32.1740 ft / s ) to each resulting velocity . Also , again ignoring air resistance , any and all objects , when dropped from the same height , will hit the ground at the same time . According to Newton 's 3rd Law , the Earth itself experiences a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to that which it exerts on a falling object . This means that the Earth also accelerates towards the object until they collide .", "11": "Because the mass of the Earth is huge , however , the acceleration imparted to the Earth by this opposite force is negligible in comparison to the object 's . If the object does n't bounce after it has collided with the Earth , each of them then exerts a repulsive contact force on the other which effectively balances the attractive force of gravity and prevents further acceleration . The apparent force of gravity on Earth is the resultant ( vector sum ) of two forces : ( a ) The gravitational attraction in accordance with Newton 's universal law of gravitation , and ( b ) the centrifugal force , which results from the choice of an earthbound , rotating frame of reference . The force of gravity is the weakest at the equator because of the centrifugal force caused by the Earth 's rotation and because points on the equator are furthest from the center of the Earth . The force of gravity varies with latitude and increases from about 9.780 m / s at the Equator to about 9.832 m / s at the poles . Equations for a falling body near the surface of the Earth Main article : Equations for a falling body Under an assumption of constant gravitational attraction , Newton 's law of universal gravitation simplifies to F = mg , where m is the mass of the body and g is a constant vector with an average magnitude of 9.81 m / s on Earth . This resulting force is the object 's weight . The acceleration due to gravity is equal to this g . An initially stationary object which is allowed to fall freely under gravity drops a distance which is proportional to the square of the elapsed time . The image on the right , spanning half a second , was captured with a stroboscopic flash at 20 flashes per second . During the first ​ ⁄ of a second the ball drops one unit of distance ( here , a unit is about 12 mm ) ; by ​ ⁄ it has dropped at total of 4 units ; by ​ ⁄ , 9 units and so on . Under the same constant gravity assumptions , the potential energy , E , of a body at height h is given by E = mgh ( or E = Wh , with W meaning weight ) . This expression is valid only over small distances h from the surface of the Earth .", "12": "Similarly , the expression h = v 2 2 g ( \\ displaystyle h = ( \\ tfrac ( v ^ ( 2 ) ) ( 2g ) ) ) for the maximum height reached by a vertically projected body with initial velocity v is useful for small heights and small initial velocities only . Gravity and Astronomy Gravity acts on stars that form the Milky Way . The application of Newton 's law of gravity has enabled the acquisition of much of the detailed information we have about the planets in the Solar System , the mass of the Sun , and details of quasars ; even the existence of dark matter is inferred using Newton 's law of gravity . Although we have not traveled to all the planets nor to the Sun , we know their masses . These masses are obtained by applying the laws of gravity to the measured characteristics of the orbit . In space an object maintains its orbit because of the force of gravity acting upon it . Planets orbit stars , stars orbit galactic centers , galaxies orbit a center of mass in clusters , and clusters orbit in superclusters . The force of gravity exerted on one object by another is directly proportional to the product of those objects ' masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them . The earliest gravity ( possibly in the form of quantum gravity , supergravity or a gravitational singularity ) , along with ordinary space and time , developed during the Planck epoch ( up to 10 seconds after the birth of the Universe ) , possibly from a primeval state ( such as a false vacuum , quantum vacuum or virtual particle ) , in a currently unknown manner . Gravitational radiation Main article : Gravitational wave According to general relativity , gravitational radiation is generated in situations where the curvature of spacetime is oscillating , such as is the case with co-orbiting objects . The gravitational radiation emitted by the Solar System is far too small to measure . However , gravitational radiation has been indirectly observed as an energy loss over time in binary pulsar systems such as PSR B1913 + 16 . It is believed that neutron star mergers and black hole formation may create detectable amounts of gravitational radiation . Gravitational radiation observatories such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory ( LIGO ) have been created to study the problem .", "13": "In February 2016 , the Advanced LIGO team announced that they had detected gravitational waves from a black hole collision . On 14 September 2015 , LIGO registered gravitational waves for the first time , as a result of the collision of two black holes 1.3 billion light - years from Earth . This observation confirms the theoretical predictions of Einstein and others that such waves exist . The event confirms that binary black holes exist . It also opens the way for practical observation and understanding of the nature of gravity and events in the Universe including the Big Bang and what happened after it . Speed of gravity Main article : Speed of gravity In December 2012 , a research team in China announced that it had produced measurements of the phase lag of Earth tides during full and new moons which seem to prove that the speed of gravity is equal to the speed of light . This means that if the Sun suddenly disappeared , the Earth would keep orbiting it normally for 8 minutes , which is the time light takes to travel that distance . The team 's findings were released in the Chinese Science Bulletin in February 2013 . In October 2017 , the LIGO and Virgo detectors received gravitational wave signals within 2 seconds of gamma ray satellites and optical telescopes seeing signals from the same direction . This confirmed that the speed of gravitational waves was the same as the speed of light . Anomalies and discrepancies There are some observations that are not adequately accounted for , which may point to the need for better theories of gravity or perhaps be explained in other ways . Rotation curve of a typical spiral galaxy : predicted ( A ) and observed ( B ) . The discrepancy between the curves is attributed to dark matter . Extra-fast stars : Stars in galaxies follow a distribution of velocities where stars on the outskirts are moving faster than they should according to the observed distributions of normal matter . Galaxies within galaxy clusters show a similar pattern . Dark matter , which would interact through gravitation but not electromagnetically , would account for the discrepancy . Various modifications to Newtonian dynamics have also been proposed . Flyby anomaly : Various spacecraft have experienced greater acceleration than expected during gravity assist maneuvers . Accelerating expansion : The metric expansion of space seems to be speeding up . Dark energy has been proposed to explain this .", "14": "A recent alternative explanation is that the geometry of space is not homogeneous ( due to clusters of galaxies ) and that when the data are reinterpreted to take this into account , the expansion is not speeding up after all , however this conclusion is disputed . Anomalous increase of the astronomical unit : Recent measurements indicate that planetary orbits are widening faster than if this were solely through the Sun losing mass by radiating energy . Extra energetic photons : Photons travelling through galaxy clusters should gain energy and then lose it again on the way out . The accelerating expansion of the Universe should stop the photons returning all the energy , but even taking this into account photons from the cosmic microwave background radiation gain twice as much energy as expected . This may indicate that gravity falls off faster than inverse - squared at certain distance scales . Extra massive hydrogen clouds : The spectral lines of the Lyman - alpha forest suggest that hydrogen clouds are more clumped together at certain scales than expected and , like dark flow , may indicate that gravity falls off slower than inverse - squared at certain distance scales .

The documentary depicts the yearly journey of the emperor penguins of Antarctica . In autumn , all the penguins of breeding age ( five years old and over ) leave the ocean , their normal habitat , to walk inland to their ancestral breeding grounds . There , the penguins participate in a courtship that , if successful , results in the hatching of a chick . For the chick to survive , both parents must make multiple arduous journeys between the ocean and the breeding grounds over the ensuing months . It took one year for the two isolated cinematographers Laurent Chalet and Jérôme Maison to shoot the documentary , which was shot around the French scientific base of Dumont d'Urville in Adélie Land . The documentary won the 2006 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature .", "1": "The documentary had a 2007 follow - up movie , `` Arctic Tale , '' which only took in at the box office $1.8 million worldwide. A sequel called March of the Penguins 2 : The Call was released in France in 2017 and will be released in the United States on Hulu on March 23rd , 2018 under the name March of the Penguins 2 : The Next Step . Contents ( hide ) 1 Subject matter 2 International versions 3 Releases and responses 4 Production 5 Political and social interpretations 6 Sequel 7 Awards 8 See also 9 References 10 Further reading 11 External links Subject matter ( edit ) The emperor penguins use a particular spot as their breeding ground because it is on ice that is solid year round and no danger of the ice becoming too soft to support the colony exists . At the end of Antarctic summer , the breeding ground is only a few hundred meters away from the open water where the penguins can feed . However , by the end of winter , the breeding ground is over 100 kilometres ( 62 mi ) away from the nearest open water . To reach it , all the penguins of breeding age must traverse this great distance . The penguins practice serial monogamy within each breeding season . The female lays a single egg , and the co-operation of the parents is needed if the chick is to survive . After the female lays the egg , she transfers it to the feet of the waiting male with minimal exposure to the elements , as the intense cold could kill the developing embryo . The male tends to the egg when the female returns to the sea , now even farther away , both to feed herself and to obtain extra food for feeding her chick when she returns . She has not eaten in two months and by the time she leaves the hatching area , she will have lost a third of her body weight . For an additional two months , the males huddle together for warmth , and incubate their eggs . They endure temperatures approaching − 62 ° C ( − 80 ° F ) , and their only source of water is snow that falls on the breeding ground .", "2": "When the chicks hatch , the males have only a small meal to feed them , and if the female does not return , they must abandon their chick and return to the sea to feed themselves . By the time they return , they have lost half their weight and have not eaten for four months . The chicks are also at risk from predatory birds such as northern giant petrels . The mother penguins come back and feed their young , while the male penguins go all the way back to sea ( 70 miles ) to feed themselves . This gives the mothers time to feed their young ones and bond with them . Unfortunately , a fierce storm arrives and some of the chicks perish . The death of a chick is tragic , but it does allow the parents to return to the sea to feed for the rest of the breeding season . When a mother penguin loses its young in a fierce storm , it sometimes attempts to steal another mother 's chick . At times , the young are abandoned by one parent , and they must rely on the return of the other parent , which can recognize the chick only from its unique call . Many parents die on the trip , killed by exhaustion or by predators ( such as the leopard seal ) , dooming their chicks back at the breeding ground . The ingenious fight against starvation is a recurring theme throughout the documentary . In one scene , near - starving chicks are shown taking sustenance out of their father 's throat sacs , 11th - hour nourishment in the form of a milky , protein - rich substance secreted from a sac in the father 's throat to feed their chicks in the event that circumstances require . The parents must then tend to the chick for an additional four months , shuttling back and forth to the sea to provide food for their young . As spring progresses , the trip gets progressively easier as the ice melts and the distance to the sea decreases , until finally the parents can leave the chicks to fend for themselves . International versions ( edit ) The style of the documentary differs considerably between the original French version and some of the international versions . The original French - language release features a first - person narrative as if the story is being told by the penguins themselves .", "3": "The narration alternates between a female ( Romane Bohringer ) and a male ( Charles Berling ) narrator speaking the alternate roles of the female and male penguin , and as the chicks are born , their narration is handled by child actor Jules Sitruk . This style is mimicked in some of the international versions . For example , in the Hungarian version , actors Ákos Kőszegi , Anna Kubik , and Gábor Morvai provide the voices of the penguins , and the German version as seen in German movie theaters ( and in the televised broadcast in April 2007 on channel ProSieben ) uses the voices of Andrea Loewig , Thorsten Michaelis , and Adrian Kilian for the `` dubbed dialog '' of the penguins . This style of narration is also used in the Danish and Cantonese DVD versions . Disney bidded to get US distribution rights to the film , but their bid ultimately failed , the English - language distribution rights were later acquired at the Sundance documentary festival in January 2005 , by Adam Leipzig of National Geographic Films , who had forged a distribution partnership with Warner Independent Pictures . In contrast to the French version , their English release has a third - person narrative by a single voice , actor Morgan Freeman . Similarly , the Austrian channel ORF 1 used for their broadcast in April 2007 , the alternate version available on the German `` Special Edition '' DVD which uses a documentary narration voiceover spoken by the German actor Sky Du Mont . Other releases ' narrators include the Dutch version , narrated by Belgian comedian Urbanus ; the Indian version , narrated in Hindi and English by Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan , is titled Penguins : A Love Story ; the Polish version , narrated by Polish actor Marek Kondrat ; and the Swedish version , narrated by Swedish actor Gösta Ekman . The Tagalog version is narrated by actress Sharon Cuneta ; it is entitled Penguin , Penguin , Paano Ka Ginawa ? ( English : Penguin , Penguin , How Were You Made ? ) with the English title as the subtitle . The Tagalog title is similar to that of a Philippine novel and film , Bata , Bata , Paano Ka Ginawa ? ( English : Child , Child , How Were You Made ? ) Another difference between the various international versions involves the music .", "4": "The original version uses an original experimental soundtrack by electronic music composer Émilie Simon , whereas the English - language version replaces it with an instrumental score by Alex Wurman . The Hindi version happens to use the music from the French version . Releases and responses ( edit ) The first screening of the documentary was at the Sundance Film Festival in the United States on 21 January 2005 . It was released in France the next week , on 26 January , where it earned a 4 - star rating from AlloCiné , and was beaten at the box office only by The Aviator during its opening week . The original French version was released in Quebec . Subsequently , an English - language version was released in the rest of North America on 24 June 2005 , drawing praise from most critics who found it both informative and charming . It has received a 94 % `` fresh '' rating with the consensus `` Only the hardened soul wo n't be moved by this heartwarming doc '' on the website Rotten Tomatoes , which collects film reviews . The movie - going public apparently agreed with that assessment , as the documentary distinguished itself as one of the most successful documentaries of the season on a per - theatre basis : it became the second most successful documentary released in North America , after Fahrenheit 9 / 11 , grossing over $77 million in the United States and Canada ( in nominal dollars , from 1982 to the present . ) It grossed over $127 million worldwide . It 's the only movie from Warner Independent to be rated G by the MPAA . The documentary was released on DVD in France on 26 July 2005 , and in the United States by Warner Home Video on 29 November 2005 . It was never released on VHS by Warner Home Video , due to A Very Long Engagement being the last VHS by Warner Independent . It however spawned a VHS in French locations , such as French Canadian regions . The DVD extras address some of the criticisms the documentary had attracted , most notably by reframing the documentary as a scientific study and adding facts to what would otherwise have been a family film . This Region 2 release featured no English audio tracks or subtitles .", "5": "An extra on the DVD issue was the controversial 1948 Bugs Bunny cartoon Frigid Hare , in which Bugs visits the South Pole and meets a young penguin fleeing an Eskimo hunter . The cartoon is not frequently seen because of its stereotypical depiction of the Inuit hunter , but it was included here uncut and uncensored . This is substituted in the American release with 8 Ball Bunny , likewise uncut and uncensored . In November 2006 , the documentary was adapted into a video game by DSI Games for the Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance platforms . It features Lemmings - like gameplay . In 2007 , a direct - to - DVD parody written and directed by Bob Saget called Farce of the Penguins was released . It is narrated by Samuel L. Jackson and features other stars providing voice - overs for the penguins . Although the film uses footage from actual nature documentaries about penguins , the parody was not allowed to include footage from March of the Penguins itself . Production ( edit ) The DVD version includes a 54 - minute film entitled Of Penguins and Men made by the film crew Laurent Chalet and Jérôme Mason about the filming of March of the Penguins . Director and film crew spent more than 13 months at the Dumont d'Urville Station , where the Institut polaire français Paul - Émile Victor is based . Although the penguins ' meeting place , one of four in Antarctica , was known to be near , the day on which it occurs is not known , so they had to be ready every day . Fortunately , the gathering that year was huge -- more than 1,200 penguins , compared with the norm of a few hundred . For cameras to operate at − 40 ° , they had to use film and to load all the film for the day , as it was impossible to reload outside . Because of the isolation from any film studios , remembering each shot was necessary to ensure continuity and to make sure that all the necessary sequences were finished . The main challenge of making the documentary was the weather with temperatures between − 50 and − 60 ° C ( − 58 and − 76 ° F ) . At dawn , the film crew would spend half an hour putting on six layers of clothes , and on some days they could not spend more than three hours outside .", "6": "They worked in winds with gusts up to 125 miles per hour , `` which in some ways is worse than the cold temperatures '' according to director Jaquet . Political and social interpretations ( edit ) The documentary attracted some political and social commentary in which the penguins were viewed anthropomorphically as having similarities with , and even lessons for , human society . Michael Medved praised the documentary for promoting conservative family values by showing the value of stable parenthood . Medved 's comments provoked responses by others , including Andrew Sullivan , who pointed out that the penguins are not in fact monogamous for more than one year , in reality practicing serial monogamy . Matt Walker of New Scientist pointed out that many emperor penguin `` adoptions '' of chicks are in fact kidnappings , as well as behaviours observed in other penguin species , such as ill treatment of weak chicks , prostitution , and ostracism of rare albino penguins . `` For instance , while it is true that emperor penguins often adopt each other 's chicks , they do not always do so in a way the moralisers would approve of . '' Sullivan and Walker both conclude that trying to use animal behavior as an example for human behavior is a mistake . The director , Luc Jacquet , has condemned such comparisons between penguins and humans . Asked by the San Diego Union Tribune to comment on the documentary 's use as `` a metaphor for family values -- the devotion to a mate , devotion to offspring , monogamy , self - denial '' , Jaquet responded : `` I condemn this position . I find it intellectually dishonest to impose this viewpoint on something that 's part of nature . It 's amusing , but if you take the monogamy argument , from one season to the next , the divorce rate , if you will , is between 80 to 90 percent ... the monogamy only lasts for the duration of one reproductive cycle . You have to let penguins be penguins and humans be humans . '' Some of the controversy over this may be media driven . Rich Lowry , editor of National Review , reported in the magazine 's blog that the BBC `` have been harassing me for days over March of the Penguins ... about what , I 'm not sure .", "7": "I think to see if I would say on air that penguins are God 's instruments to pull America back from the hell - fire , or something like that . As politely as I could I told her , ' Lady , they 're just birds . ' '' Another controversy involves those who feel that the emperor penguin 's behavior can be viewed as an indication of intelligent design , and those who consider it to be an example of evolution by natural selection in action . Steve Jones , professor of genetics at University College London , is quoted as saying , `` Supporters of intelligent design think that if they see something they do n't understand , it must be God ; they fail to recognise that they themselves are part of evolution . It appeals to ignorance , which is why there is a lot of it in American politics at the moment . '' Author Susan Jacoby claims in her 2008 book , The Age of American Unreason ( page 26 ) , that the distributors of the movie deliberately avoided using the word `` evolution '' in order to avoid backlash from the American religious right , and writes , `` As it happens , the emperor penguin is literally a textbook example , cited in college - level biology courses , of evolution by means of natural selection and random mutation ... The financial wisdom of avoiding any mention of evolution was borne out at the box office ... '' Sequel ( edit ) On February 15 , 2017 , Disneynature released a possible follow - up to the film entitled L'Empereur , which has also been named March of the Penguins in some countries , it 's title is also March of The Penguins 2 : The Call , this one is narrated in France by Lambert Wilson , possibly due to the idea of giving the penguins voices in the original not sitting well with audiences . The film will be released in the United States as a Hulu exclusive under the name March of the Penguins 2 - The Next Step with Morgan Freeman reprising his role as narrator .", "8": "Awards ( edit ) Won -- Academy Award for Documentary Feature Won -- American Cinema Editors , Best Edited Documentary : Sabine Emiliani Nominated -- BAFTA Awards , Best Cinematography : Laurent Chalet , Jérôme Maison Best Editing : Sabine Emiliani Won -- Broadcast Film Critics Association , Best Documentary Won -- César Awards , Best Sound ( Meilleur son ) : Laurent Quaglio , Gérard Lamps Nominated , Best Editing ( Meilleur montage ) : Sabine Emiliani Nominated , Best First Work ( Meilleur premier film ) : Luc Jacquet Nominated , Best Music Written for a Film ( Meilleure musique ) : Émilie Simon Won -- National Board of Review , Best Documentary Nominated -- Online Film Critics Society Awards , Best Documentary Nominated -- Satellite Awards , Outstanding Documentary DVD Nominated , Outstanding Motion Picture , Documentary Won -- Southeastern Film Critics Association Awards , Best Documentary Nominated -- Writers Guild of America , Documentary Screenplay Award : Jordan Roberts ( narration written by ) , Luc Jacquet ( screenplay / story ) , Michel Fessler ( screenplay ) Won -- Rotten Tomatoes ' Golden Tomato Awards -- Best Reviewed Documentary of 2005 , beating Murderball and Enron : The Smartest Guys in the Room Won -- London 's Favourite French Film in 2005 Won -- Victoires de la musique , Original cinema / television soundtrack of 2006 See also ( edit ) Ape and Super-Ape , a 1972 Dutch documentary film by Bert Haanstra about the differences and similarities between humans and animals , which also has extensive footage about the life of penguins on Antarctica , almost 30 years before March Of The Penguins was made .

what went wrong on the columbia space shuttle

Casualties Rick D. Husband William C. McCool Michael P. Anderson Kalpana Chawla David M. Brown Laurel Clark Ilan Ramon Inquiries Columbia Accident Investigation Board On February 1 , 2003 , the Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated upon reentering Earth 's atmosphere , killing all seven crew members . The disaster was the second fatal accident in the Space Shuttle program after Space Shuttle Challenger , which broke apart and killed the seven - member crew 73 seconds after liftoff in 1986 . During the launch of STS - 107 , Columbia 's 28th mission , a piece of foam insulation broke off from the Space Shuttle external tank and struck the left wing of the orbiter . A few previous shuttle launches had seen damage ranging from minor to major from foam shedding , but some engineers suspected that the damage to Columbia was more serious . NASA managers limited the investigation , reasoning that the crew could not have fixed the problem if it had been confirmed . When Columbia re-entered the atmosphere of Earth , the damage allowed hot atmospheric gases to penetrate and destroy the internal wing structure , which caused the spacecraft to become unstable and break apart . After the disaster , Space Shuttle flight operations were suspended for more than two years , as they had been after the Challenger disaster . Construction of the International Space Station ( ISS ) was put on hold ; the station relied entirely on the Russian Roscosmos State Corporation for resupply for 29 months until Shuttle flights resumed with STS - 114 and 41 months for crew rotation until STS - 121 .", "1": "Several technical and organizational changes were made , including adding a thorough on - orbit inspection to determine how well the shuttle 's thermal protection system had endured the ascent , and keeping a designated rescue mission ready in case irreparable damage was found . Except for one final mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope , subsequent shuttle missions were flown only to the ISS so that the crew could use it as a haven in case damage to the orbiter prevented safe reentry .

Debris strike during launch ( edit ) Columbia lifting off on its final mission . The light - colored triangle visible at the base of the strut near the nose of the orbiter is the Left Bipod Foam Ramp . Video Space Shuttle external tank foam block Close - up of the Left Bipod Foam Ramp that broke off and damaged the Shuttle wing The shuttle 's main fuel tank is covered in thermal insulation foam intended to prevent ice from forming when the tank is full of liquid hydrogen and oxygen . Such ice could damage the shuttle if shed during lift - off . Mission STS - 107 was the 113th Space Shuttle launch . Planned to begin on January 11 , 2001 , the mission was delayed 18 times and eventually launched on January 16 , 2003 , following STS - 113 . ( The Columbia Accident Investigation Board determined that this delay had nothing to do with the catastrophic failure . ) About 82 seconds after launch from Kennedy Space Center 's LC - 39 - A , a suitcase - sized piece of foam broke off from the External Tank ( ET ) , striking Columbia 's left wing reinforced carbon - carbon ( RCC ) panels . As demonstrated by ground experiments conducted by the Columbia Accident Investigation Board , this likely created a 6 - to - 10 - inch ( 15 to 25 cm ) diameter hole , allowing hot gases to enter the wing when Columbia later re-entered the atmosphere . At the time of the foam strike , the orbiter was at an altitude of about 66,000 feet ( 20 km ; 12.5 mi ) , traveling at Mach 2.46 ( 1,626 miles per hour or 727 meters per second ) . The Left Bipod Foam Ramp is an approximately three - foot ( one - meter ) long aerodynamic component made entirely of foam . The foam , not normally considered to be a structural material , is required to bear some aerodynamic loads . Because of these special requirements , the casting - in - place and curing of the ramps may be performed only by a senior technician .", "3": "The bipod ramp ( having left and right sides ) was originally designed to reduce aerodynamic stresses around the bipod attachment points at the external tank , but it was proven unnecessary in the wake of the accident and was removed from the external tank design for tanks flown after STS - 107 ( another foam ramp along the liquid oxygen line was also later removed from the tank design to eliminate it as a foam debris source , after analysis and tests proved this change safe ) . Bipod Ramp insulation had been observed falling off , in whole or in part , on four previous flights : STS - 7 ( 1983 ) , STS - 32 ( 1990 ) , STS - 50 ( 1992 ) and most recently STS - 112 ( just two launches before STS - 107 ) . All affected shuttle missions completed successfully . NASA management came to refer to this phenomenon as `` foam shedding '' . As with the O - ring erosion problems that ultimately doomed the Space Shuttle Challenger , NASA management became accustomed to these phenomena when no serious consequences resulted from these earlier episodes . This phenomenon was termed `` normalization of deviance '' by sociologist Diane Vaughan in her book on the Challenger launch decision process . As it happened , STS - 112 had been the first flight with the `` ET Cam '' , a video feed mounted on the ET for the purpose of giving greater insight to the foam shedding problem . During that launch a chunk of foam broke away from the ET bipod ramp and hit the SRB - ET Attach Ring near the bottom of the left solid rocket booster ( SRB ) causing a dent four inches wide and three inches deep in it . After STS - 112 , NASA leaders analyzed the situation and decided to press ahead under the justification that `` ( t ) he ET is safe to fly with no new concerns ( and no added risk ) '' of further foam strikes . Video taken during lift - off of STS - 107 was routinely reviewed two hours later and revealed nothing unusual . The following day , higher - resolution film that had been processed overnight revealed the foam debris striking the left wing , potentially damaging the thermal protection on the Space Shuttle . At the time , the exact location where the foam struck the wing could not be determined due to the low resolution of the tracking camera footage . Meanwhile , NASA 's judgment about the risks was revisited .", "4": "Linda Ham , chair of the Mission Management Team ( MMT ) , said , `` Rationale was lousy then and still is . '' Ham and Shuttle Program Manager Ron Dittemore had both been present at the October 31 , 2002 , meeting where the decision to continue with launches was made . Post-disaster analysis revealed that two previous shuttle launches ( STS - 52 and - 62 ) also had bipod ramp foam loss that went undetected . In addition , Protuberance Air Load ( PAL ) ramp foam had also shed pieces , and there were also spot losses from large - area foams . Flight risk management ( edit ) In a risk - management scenario similar to the Challenger disaster , NASA management failed to recognize the relevance of engineering concerns for safety and suggestions for imaging to inspect possible damage , and failed to respond to engineers ' requests about the status of astronaut inspection of the left wing . Engineers made three separate requests for Department of Defense ( DOD ) imaging of the shuttle in orbit to determine damage more precisely . While the images were not guaranteed to show the damage , the capability existed for imaging of sufficient resolution to provide meaningful examination . NASA management did not honor the requests and in some cases intervened to stop the DOD from assisting . The CAIB recommended subsequent shuttle flights be imaged while in orbit using ground - based or space - based DOD assets . Details of the DOD 's unfulfilled participation with Columbia remain secret ; retired NASA official Wayne Hale stated in 2012 that `` activity regarding other national assets and agencies remains classified and I can not comment on that aspect of the Columbia tragedy '' . Throughout the risk assessment process , senior NASA managers were influenced by their belief that nothing could be done even if damage were detected . This affected their stance on investigation urgency , thoroughness and possible contingency actions . They decided to conduct a parametric `` what - if '' scenario study more suited to determine risk probabilities of future events , instead of inspecting and assessing the actual damage . The investigation report in particular singled out NASA manager Linda Ham for exhibiting this attitude .", "5": "In 2013 , Hale recalled that Director of Mission Operations Jon C. Harpold shared with him before Columbia 's destruction a mindset which Hale himself later agreed was widespread at the time , even among the astronauts themselves : You know , there is nothing we can do about damage to the TPS ( Thermal Protection System ) . If it has been damaged it 's probably better not to know . I think the crew would rather not know . Do n't you think it would be better for them to have a happy successful flight and die unexpectedly during entry than to stay on orbit , knowing that there was nothing to be done , until the air ran out ? Much of the risk assessment hinged on damage predictions to the thermal protection system . These fall into two categories : damage to the silica tile on the wing lower surface , and damage to the reinforced carbon - carbon ( RCC ) leading - edge panels . The TPS includes a third category of components , thermal insulating blankets , but damage predictions are not typically performed on them . Damage assessments on the thermal blankets can be performed after an anomaly has been observed , and this has been done at least once after the return to flight following Columbia 's loss . Before the flight NASA believed that the RCC was very durable . Charles F. Bolden , who worked on tile - damage scenarios and repair methods early in his astronaut career , said in 2004 that : never did we talk about ( the RCC ) because we all thought that it was impenetrable ... I spent fourteen years in the space program flying , thinking that I had this huge mass that was about five or six inches thick on the leading edge of the wing . And , to find after Columbia that it was fractions of an inch thick , and that it was n't as strong as the Fiberglass on your Corvette , that was an eye - opener , and I think for all of us ... the best minds that I know of , in and outside of NASA , never envisioned that as a failure mode . Damage - prediction software was used to evaluate possible tile and RCC damage . The tool for predicting tile damage was known as `` Crater '' , described by several NASA representatives in press briefings as not actually a software program but rather a statistical spreadsheet of observed past flight events and effects .", "6": "The `` Crater '' tool predicted severe penetration of multiple tiles by the impact if it struck the TPS tile area , but NASA engineers downplayed this . It had been shown that the model overstated damage from small projectiles , and engineers believed that the model would also overstate damage from larger Spray - On Foam Insulation ( SOFI ) impacts . The program used to predict RCC damage was based on small ice impacts the size of cigarette butts , not larger SOFI impacts , as the ice impacts were the only recognized threats to RCC panels up to that point . Under one of 15 predicted SOFI impact paths , the software predicted an ice impact would completely penetrate the RCC panel . Engineers downplayed this , too , believing that impacts of the less dense SOFI material would result in less damage than ice impacts . In an e-mail exchange , NASA managers questioned whether the density of the SOFI could be used as justification for reducing predicted damage . Despite engineering concerns about the energy imparted by the SOFI material , NASA managers ultimately accepted the rationale to reduce predicted damage of the RCC panels from possible complete penetration to slight damage to the panel 's thin coating . Ultimately the NASA Mission Management Team felt there was insufficient evidence to indicate that the strike was an unsafe situation , so they declared the debris strike a `` turnaround '' issue ( not of highest importance ) and denied the requests for the Department of Defense images . On January 23 , flight director Steve Stich sent an e-mail to Columbia , informing commander Husband and pilot McCool of the foam strike while unequivocally dismissing any concerns about entry safety . During ascent at approximately 80 seconds , photo analysis shows that some debris from the area of the - Y ET Bipod Attach Point came loose and subsequently impacted the orbiter left wing , in the area of transition from Chine to Main Wing , creating a shower of smaller particles . The impact appears to be totally on the lower surface and no particles are seen to traverse over the upper surface of the wing . Experts have reviewed the high speed photography and there is no concern for RCC or tile damage . We have seen this same phenomenon on several other flights and there is absolutely no concern for entry . Edward Tufte , an expert in information design and presentation , remarked on poor modes of communication during the assessment made on the ground , before Columbia 's reentry . NASA and Boeing favored Microsoft PowerPoint for conveying information .", "7": "PowerPoint uses multi-level bullet points and orients towards single - page - of - information groupings . This is not ideal for complex scientific and engineering reports , and may have caused recipients to draw incorrect conclusions . In particular , the slide format may have emphasized optimistic options and glossed over the more accurate pessimistic viewpoints . Re-entry timeline ( edit ) Columbia was scheduled to land at 9 : 16 a.m. EST . 2 : 30 a.m. EST , February 1 , 2003 : The Entry Flight Control Team began duty in the Mission Control Center ( known today as the Christopher C. Kraft Jr . Mission Control Center ) . The Flight Control Team had not been working on any issues or problems related to the planned de-orbit and re-entry of Columbia . In particular , the team had indicated no concerns about the debris that hit the left wing during ascent , and treated the re-entry like any other . The team worked through the de-orbit preparation checklist and re-entry checklist procedures . Weather forecasters , with the help of pilots in the Shuttle Training Aircraft , evaluated landing - site weather conditions at the Kennedy Space Center . 8 : 00 : Mission Control Center Entry Flight Director LeRoy Cain polled the Mission Control room for a GO / NO - GO decision for the de-orbit burn . All weather observations and forecasts were within guidelines set by the flight rules , and all systems were normal . 8 : 10 : The Capsule Communicator ( CAPCOM ) told the crew that they were GO for de-orbit burn . 8 : 15 : 30 ( EI - 1719 ) : Husband and McCool executed the de-orbit burn using Columbia 's two Orbital Maneuvering System engines . The Orbiter was upside down and tail - first over the Indian Ocean at an altitude of 175 miles ( 282 km ) and speed of 17,500 miles per hour ( 7.8 km / s ) when the burn was executed . A 2 - minute , 38 - second de-orbit burn during the 255th orbit slowed the Orbiter to begin its re-entry into the atmosphere . The burn proceeded normally , putting the crew under about one - tenth gravity . Husband then turned Columbia right side up , facing forward with the nose pitched up .", "8": "8 : 44 : 09 ( EI + 000 ) : Entry Interface ( EI ) , arbitrarily defined as the point at which the Orbiter entered the discernible atmosphere at 400,000 feet ( 120 km ; 76 mi ) , occurred over the Pacific Ocean . As Columbia descended , the heat of reentry caused wing leading - edge temperatures to rise steadily , reaching an estimated 2,500 ° F ( 1,370 ° C ) during the next six minutes . ( As former Space Shuttle Program Manager Wayne Hale said in a press briefing , about 90 % of this heating is the result of compression of the atmospheric gas caused by the orbiter 's supersonic flight , rather than the result of friction . ) Columbia at about 8 : 57 . Debris is visible coming from the left wing ( bottom ) . The image was taken at Starfire Optical Range at Kirtland Air Force Base . 8 : 48 : 39 ( EI + 270 ) : A sensor on the left wing leading edge spar showed strains higher than those seen on previous Columbia re-entries . This was recorded only on the Modular Auxiliary Data System , which is similar in concept to a flight data recorder , and was not sent to ground controllers or shown to the crew . 8 : 49 : 32 ( EI + 323 ) : Columbia executed a planned roll to the right . Speed : Mach 24.5 . Columbia began a banking turn to manage lift and therefore limit the Orbiter 's rate of descent and heating . 8 : 50 : 53 ( EI + 404 ) : Columbia entered a 10 - minute period of peak heating , during which the thermal stresses were at their maximum . Speed : Mach 24.1 ; altitude : 243,000 feet ( 74 km ; 46.0 mi ) . 8 : 52 : 00 ( EI + 471 ) : Columbia was about 300 miles ( 480 km ) west of the California coastline . The wing leading - edge temperatures usually reached 2,650 ° F ( 1,450 ° C ) at this point . 8 : 53 : 26 ( EI + 557 ) : Columbia crossed the California coast west of Sacramento .", "9": "Speed : Mach 23 ; altitude : 231,600 feet ( 70.6 km ; 43.86 mi ) . Columbia debris ( in red , orange , and yellow ) detected by National Weather Service radar over Texas and Louisiana The Orbiter 's wing leading edge typically reached more than 2,800 ° F ( 1,540 ° C ) at this point . 8 : 53 : 46 ( EI + 577 ) : Various people on the ground saw signs of debris being shed . Speed : Mach 22.8 ; altitude : 230,200 feet ( 70.2 km ; 43.60 mi ) . The superheated air surrounding the Orbiter suddenly brightened , causing a streak in the Orbiter 's luminescent trail that was quite noticeable in the pre-dawn skies over the West Coast . Observers witnessed four similar events during the following 23 seconds . Dialogue on some of the amateur footage indicates the observers were aware of the abnormality of what they were filming . 8 : 54 : 24 ( EI + 615 ) : The Maintenance , Mechanical , and Crew Systems ( MMACS ) officer told the Flight Director that four hydraulic sensors in the left wing were indicating `` off - scale low '' . In Mission Control , re-entry had been proceeding normally up to this point . `` Off - scale low '' is a reading that falls below the minimum capability of the sensor , and it usually indicates that the sensor has stopped functioning , due to internal or external factors , not that the quantity it measures is actually below the sensor 's minimum response value . 8 : 54 : 25 ( EI + 616 ) : Columbia crossed from California into Nevada airspace . Speed : Mach 22.5 ; altitude : 227,400 feet ( 69.3 km ; 43.07 mi ) . Witnesses observed a bright flash at this point and 18 similar events in the next four minutes . 8 : 55 : 00 ( EI + 651 ) : Nearly 11 minutes after Columbia re-entered the atmosphere , wing leading - edge temperatures normally reached nearly 3,000 ° F ( 1,650 ° C ) . 8 : 55 : 32 ( EI + 683 ) : Columbia crossed from Nevada into Utah .", "10": "Speed : Mach 21.8 ; altitude : 223,400 feet ( 68.1 km ; 42.31 mi ) . 8 : 55 : 52 ( EI + 703 ) : Columbia crossed from Utah into Arizona . 8 : 56 : 30 ( EI + 741 ) : Columbia began a roll reversal , turning from right to left over Arizona . 8 : 56 : 45 ( EI + 756 ) : Columbia crossed from Arizona to New Mexico . Speed : Mach 20.9 ; altitude : 219,000 feet ( 67 km ; 41.5 mi ) . 8 : 57 : 24 ( EI + 795 ) : Columbia passed just north of Albuquerque . 8 : 58 : 00 ( EI + 831 ) : At this point , wing leading - edge temperatures typically decreased to 2,880 ° F ( 1,580 ° C ) . 8 : 58 : 20 ( EI + 851 ) : Columbia crossed from New Mexico into Texas . Speed : Mach 19.5 ; altitude : 209,800 feet ( 63.9 km ; 39.73 mi ) . At about this time , the Orbiter shed a Thermal Protection System tile , the most westerly piece of debris that has been recovered . Searchers found the tile in a field in Littlefield , Texas , just northwest of Lubbock . 8 : 59 : 15 ( EI + 906 ) : MMACS told the Flight Director that pressure readings had been lost on both left main landing - gear tires . The Flight Director then instructed the Capsule Communicator ( CAPCOM ) to let the crew know that Mission Control saw the messages and was evaluating the indications , and added that the Flight Control Team did not understand the crew 's last transmission . 8 : 59 : 32 ( EI + 923 ) : A broken response from the mission commander was recorded : `` Roger , uh , bu -- ( cut off in mid-word ) ... '' It was the last communication from the crew and the last telemetry signal received in Mission Control . 8 : 59 : 37 ( EI + 928 ) : Hydraulic pressure , which is required to move the flight control surfaces , was lost at about 8 : 59 : 37 .", "11": "At that time , the Master Alarm would have sounded for the loss of hydraulics , and the shuttle would have begun to lose control , starting to roll and yaw uncontrollably , and the crew would have become aware of the serious problem . 9 : 00 : 18 ( EI + 969 ) : Videos and eyewitness reports by observers on the ground in and near Dallas indicated that the Orbiter had disintegrated overhead , continued to break up into smaller pieces , and left multiple ion trails , as it continued eastward . In Mission Control , while the loss of signal was a cause for concern , there was no sign of any serious problem . Before the orbiter broke up at 9 : 00 : 18 , the Columbia cabin pressure was nominal and the crew was capable of conscious actions . Although the crew module remained mostly intact through the breakup , it was damaged enough that it lost pressure at a rate fast enough to incapacitate the crew within seconds , and was completely depressurized no later than 9 : 00 : 53 . 9 : 00 : 57 ( EI + 1008 ) : The crew module , intact to this point , was seen breaking into small subcomponents . It disappeared from view at 9 : 01 : 10 . The crew , if not already dead , were killed no later than this point . 9 : 05 : Residents of north central Texas , particularly near Tyler , reported a loud boom , a small concussion wave , smoke trails and debris in the clear skies above the counties east of Dallas . 9 : 12 : 39 ( EI + 1710 ) : After hearing of reports of the shuttle being seen to break apart , Entry Flight Director LeRoy Cain declared a contingency ( events leading to loss of the vehicle ) and alerted search - and - rescue teams in the debris area . He called on the Ground Controller to `` lock the doors '' , meaning no one would be permitted to enter or leave until everything needed for investigation of the accident had been secured . Two minutes later , Mission Control put contingency procedures into effect . Crew survivability aspects ( edit ) In 2008 , NASA released a detailed report on survivability aspects of the Columbia reentry . The crew would have had less than a minute between the beginning of orbiter disintegration and depressurization .", "12": "The structural failure of the left wing set off alarms in the cabin , although they had no way of knowing that the wing had broken apart as the rear of the orbiter could not be seen from the cabin . All evidence indicated that the crew frantically tried to regain control of Columbia as it began to spin out of control , but the loss of the left wing caused the orbiter to yaw to the right , exposing its underside to extreme aerodynamic forces and causing total structural disintegration . The crew cabin separated from the rest of the orbiter and rapidly depressurized , which would have killed or incapacitated the astronauts within seconds . Afterwards , the cabin spun around at high RPM , which caused the seat restraints on their upper bodies to fail . They were thus whipped around violently and pummeled by flying and falling objects from the disintegrating cabin , along with their heads and necks being slammed against the helmets , which were not designed to provide any head protection . Even if the cabin had remained structurally intact and reached a lower altitude where air could refill it , the high altitude depressurization would have been fatal to the astronauts unless they received medical attention within 5 minutes , approximately the amount of time it would take between cerebral hypoxia and brain death . After cabin disintegration , the astronauts ' bodies were released into the upper atmosphere and battered by extreme aerodynamic forces ( close to 14,000 MPH ) and temperatures . The remains of the crew then fell some 200,000 feet to earth , where they were also subjected to burning from aerodynamic heating . The official NASA report omitted some of the more graphic details on the recovery of the remains , however witnesses reported various gruesome finds such as a human heart and parts of femur bones . All evidence indicated that crew error was in no way responsible for the disintegration of the orbiter , and they had acted correctly and according to procedure at the first indication of trouble . Although some of the crew were not wearing gloves or helmets during reentry and some were not properly restrained in their seats , doing these things would have added nothing to their survival chances other than perhaps keeping them alive and conscious another 30 or so seconds .", "13": "Presidential response ( edit ) President George W. Bush 's address on the Columbia 's destruction , February 1 , 2003 At 14 : 04 EST ( 19 : 04 UTC ) , President George W. Bush said , `` This day has brought terrible news and great sadness to our country ... The Columbia is lost ; there are no survivors '' . Despite the disaster , Bush said , `` The cause in which they died will continue ... Our journey into space will go on '' . Bush later declared East Texas a federal disaster area , allowing federal agencies to help with the recovery effort . Recovery of debris ( edit ) A grid on the floor is used to organize recovered debris Recovered power - head of one of Columbia 's main engines More than 2,000 debris fields were found in sparsely populated areas from Nacogdoches in East Texas , where a large amount of debris fell , to western Louisiana and the southwestern counties of Arkansas . A large amount of debris was recovered between Tyler , Texas and Palestine , Texas . One debris field has been mapped along a path stretching from south of Fort Worth to Hemphill , Texas , as well as into parts of Louisiana . Various notable places that had debris included Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches and several casinos in Shreveport , Louisiana . Along with pieces of the shuttle and bits of equipment , searchers also found human body parts , including arms , feet , a torso , and a heart . In the months after the disaster , the largest - ever organized ground search took place . Thousands of volunteers descended upon Texas to participate in the effort to gather the Shuttle 's remains . According to Mike Ciannilli , Project Manager of the Columbia Research and Preservation Office , `` ( these people ) put their life on hold to help out the nation 's space program , '' showing `` what space means to people . '' NASA issued warnings to the public that any debris could contain hazardous chemicals , that it should be left untouched , its location reported to local emergency services or government authorities , and that anyone in unauthorized possession of debris would be prosecuted . Because of the widespread area , volunteer amateur radio operators accompanied the search teams to provide communications support .", "14": "A group of small ( 1 mm ) adult Caenorhabditis elegans worms , living in petri dishes enclosed in aluminum canisters , survived reentry and impact with the ground and were recovered weeks after the disaster . The culture was found to be alive on April 28 , 2003 . The worms were part of a biological research in canisters experiment designed to study the effect of weightlessness on physiology ; the experiment was conducted by Cassie Conley , NASA 's planetary protection officer . Debris Search Pilot Jules F. Mier Jr. and Debris Search Aviation Specialist Charles Krenek died in a helicopter crash that injured three others during the search . Some Texas residents recovered some of the debris , ignoring the warnings , and attempted to sell it on the online auction site eBay , starting at $10,000 . The auction was quickly removed , but prices for Columbia merchandise such as programs , photographs and patches , went up dramatically following the disaster , creating a surge of Columbia - related listings . A three - day amnesty offered for `` looted '' shuttle debris brought in hundreds of illegally recovered pieces . About 40,000 recovered pieces of debris have never been identified . The largest pieces recovered include the front landing gear , and a window frame . The glow of reentry as seen out the front windows On May 9 , 2008 , it was reported that data from a disk drive on board Columbia had survived the shuttle accident , and while part of the 340 MB drive was damaged , 99 % of the data was recovered . The drive was used to store data from an experiment on the properties of shear thinning . On July 29 , 2011 , Nacogdoches authorities told NASA that a 4 - foot ( 1.2 m ) diameter piece of debris had been found in a lake . NASA identified the piece as a power reactant storage and distribution ( PRSD ) . All recovered non-human Columbia debris is stored in unused office space at the Vehicle Assembly Building , except for parts of the crew compartment , which are kept separate . Crew cabin video ( edit ) Play media Video taken by the crew of part of re-entry Among the recovered items was a videotape recording made by the astronauts during the start of re-entry . The 13 - minute recording shows the flight crew astronauts conducting routine re-entry procedures and joking with each other .", "15": "None gives any indication of a problem . In the video , the flight - deck crew puts on their gloves and passes the video camera around to record plasma and flames visible outside the windows of the orbiter ( a normal occurrence ) . The recording , which on normal flights would have continued through landing , ends about four minutes before the shuttle began to disintegrate and 11 minutes before Mission Control lost the signal from the orbiter . Investigation ( edit ) Initial Investigation ( edit ) Mock - up of a Space Shuttle leading edge made with an RCC - panel taken from Discovery . Simulation of known and possible conditions of the foam impact on Columbia 's final launch showed brittle fracture of RCC . NASA Space Shuttle Program Manager Ron Dittemore reported that `` The first indication was loss of temperature sensors and hydraulic systems on the left wing . They were followed seconds and minutes later by several other problems , including loss of tire pressure indications on the left main gear and then indications of excessive structural heating '' . Analysis of 31 seconds of telemetry data which had initially been filtered out because of data corruption within it showed the shuttle fighting to maintain its orientation , eventually using maximum thrust from its Reaction Control System jets . The investigation focused on the foam strike from the very beginning . Incidents of debris strikes from ice and foam causing damage during take - off were already well known , and had damaged orbiters , most noticeably during STS - 45 , STS - 27 , and STS - 87 . After the loss of Columbia , NASA concluded that mistakes during installation were the likely cause of foam loss , and retrained employees at Michoud Assembly Facility in Louisiana to apply foam without defects . Tile damage had also been traced to ablating insulating material from the cryogenic fuel tank in the past . The composition of the foam insulation had been changed in 1997 to exclude the use of freon , a chemical that is suspected to cause ozone depletion ; while NASA was exempted from legislation phasing out CFCs , the agency chose to change the foam nonetheless . STS - 107 used an older `` lightweight tank '' ( a design that was succeeded by the `` superlightweight tank '' , both being upgrades from the original space shuttle external tank ) where the foam was sprayed on to the larger cylindrical surfaces using the newer freon - free foam .", "16": "However , the bipod ramps were manufactured from BX - 250 foam which was excluded from the EPA regulations and did use the original freon formula . The composition change did not contribute to the accident . In any case , the original formulation had shown frequent foam losses , as discussed earlier in this article . Columbia Accident Investigation Board ( edit ) Main article : Columbia Accident Investigation Board Following protocols established after the loss of Challenger , an independent investigating board was created immediately after the accident . The Columbia Accident Investigation Board , or CAIB , was chaired by retired US Navy Admiral Harold W. Gehman , Jr. , and consisted of expert military and civilian analysts who investigated the accident in detail . Columbia 's flight data recorder was found near Hemphill , Texas , on March 19 , 2003 . Unlike commercial jet aircraft , the space shuttles did not have flight data recorders intended for after - crash analysis . Instead , the vehicle data were transmitted in real time to the ground via telemetry . Since Columbia was the first shuttle , it had a special flight data OEX ( Orbiter EXperiments ) recorder , designed to help engineers better understand vehicle performance during the first test flights . After the initial Shuttle test - flights were completed , the recorder was never removed from Columbia , and it was still functioning on the crashed flight . It recorded many hundreds of parameters , and contained very extensive logs of structural and other data , which allowed the CAIB to reconstruct many of the events during the process leading to breakup . Investigators could often use the loss of signals from sensors on the wing to track how the damage progressed . This was correlated with forensic debris analysis conducted at Lehigh University and other tests to obtain a final conclusion about the probable course of events . Beginning on May 30 , 2003 , foam impact tests were performed by Southwest Research Institute . They used a compressed air gun to fire a foam block of similar size and mass to that which struck Columbia , at the same estimated speed . To represent the leading edge of Columbia 's left wing , RCC panels from NASA stock , along with the actual leading - edge panels from Enterprise , which were fiberglass , were mounted to a simulating structural metal frame . At the beginning of testing , the likely impact site was estimated to be between RCC panel 6 and 9 , inclusive .", "17": "Over many days , dozens of the foam blocks were shot at the wing leading edge model at various angles . These produced only cracks or surface damage to the RCC panels . During June , further analysis of information from Columbia 's flight data recorder narrowed the probable impact site to one single panel : RCC wing panel 8 . On July 7 , in a final round of testing , a block fired at the side of an RCC panel 8 created a hole 16 by 16.7 inches ( 41 by 42 cm ) in that protective RCC panel . The tests demonstrated that a foam impact of the type Columbia sustained could seriously breach the thermal protection system on the wing leading edge . Conclusions ( edit ) On August 26 , 2003 , the CAIB issued its report on the accident . The report confirmed the immediate cause of the accident was a breach in the leading edge of the left wing , caused by insulating foam shed during launch . The report also delved deeply into the underlying organizational and cultural issues that led to the accident . The report was highly critical of NASA 's decision - making and risk - assessment processes . It concluded the organizational structure and processes were sufficiently flawed and that a compromise of safety was expected no matter who was in the key decision - making positions . An example was the position of Shuttle Program Manager , where one individual was responsible for achieving safe , timely launches and acceptable costs , which are often conflicting goals . The CAIB report found that NASA had accepted deviations from design criteria as normal when they happened on several flights and did not lead to mission - compromising consequences . One of those was the conflict between a design specification stating that the thermal protection system was not designed to withstand significant impacts and the common occurrence of impact damage to it during flight . The board made recommendations for significant changes in processes and organizational culture . On December 30 , 2008 , NASA released a further report , entitled Columbia Crew Survival Investigation Report , produced by a second commission , the Spacecraft Crew Survival Integrated Investigation Team ( SCSIIT ) . NASA had commissioned this group , `` to perform a comprehensive analysis of the accident , focusing on factors and events affecting crew survival , and to develop recommendations for improving crew survival for all future human space flight vehicles . ''", "18": "The report concluded that : `` The Columbia depressurization event occurred so rapidly that the crew members were incapacitated within seconds , before they could configure the suit for full protection from loss of cabin pressure . Although circulatory systems functioned for a brief time , the effects of the depressurization were severe enough that the crew could not have regained consciousness . This event was lethal to the crew . '' The report also concluded : The crew did not have time to prepare themselves . Some crew members were not wearing their safety gloves , and one crew member was not wearing a helmet . New policies gave the crew more time to prepare for descent . The crew 's safety harnesses malfunctioned during the violent descent . The harnesses on the three remaining shuttles were upgraded after the accident . The key recommendations of the report included that future spacecraft crew survival systems should not rely on manual activation to protect the crew . Other contributing factors ( edit ) Unintended consequences of decisions contributed to the failure : the original tank white paint was removed to save 600 lb ( 270 kg ) , exposing the rust - orange - colored foam ; the tank foam chemical composition was altered to meet Environmental Protection Agency requirements , weakening it ; upgrades to the leading edge proposed in the early 1990s were not funded because NASA was working on the doomed VentureStar single - stage - to - orbit shuttle replacement . Possible emergency procedures ( edit ) One question of special importance was whether NASA could have saved the astronauts had they known of the danger . This would have to involve either rescue or repair -- docking at the International Space Station for use as a haven while awaiting rescue ( or to use the Soyuz to systematically ferry the crew to safety ) would have been impossible due to the different orbital inclination of the vehicles . The CAIB determined that a rescue mission , though risky , might have been possible provided NASA management had taken action soon enough . Normally , a rescue mission is not possible , due to the time required to prepare a shuttle for launch , and the limited consumables ( power , water , air ) of an orbiting shuttle . However , Atlantis was well along in processing for a planned March 1 launch on STS - 114 , and Columbia carried an unusually large quantity of consumables due to an Extended Duration Orbiter package .", "19": "The CAIB determined that this would have allowed Columbia to stay in orbit until flight day 30 ( February 15 ) . NASA investigators determined that Atlantis processing could have been expedited with no skipped safety checks for a February 10 launch . Hence , if nothing went wrong , there was a five - day overlap for a possible rescue . As mission control could deorbit an empty shuttle , but could not control the orbiter 's reentry and landing , it would likely have sent Columbia into the Pacific Ocean ; NASA later developed the Remote Control Orbiter system to permit mission control to land a shuttle . NASA investigators determined that on - orbit repair by the shuttle astronauts was possible but overall considered `` high risk '' , primarily due to the uncertain resiliency of the repair using available materials and the anticipated high risk of doing additional damage to the Orbiter . Columbia did not carry the Canadarm , or Remote Manipulator System , which would normally be used for camera inspection or transporting a spacewalking astronaut to the wing . Therefore , an unusual emergency extra-vehicular activity ( EVA ) would have been required . While there was no astronaut EVA training for maneuvering to the wing , astronauts are always prepared for a similarly difficult emergency EVA to close the external tank umbilical doors located on the orbiter underside , which is necessary for reentry . Similar methods could have reached the shuttle left wing for inspection or repair . For the repair , the CAIB determined that the astronauts would have to use tools and small pieces of titanium , or other metal , scavenged from the crew cabin . These metals would help protect the wing structure and would be held in place during re-entry by a water - filled bag that had turned into ice in the cold of space . The ice and metal would help restore wing leading edge geometry , preventing a turbulent airflow over the wing and therefore keeping heating and burn - through levels low enough for the crew to survive re-entry and bail out before landing . The CAIB could not determine whether a patched - up left wing would have survived even a modified re-entry , and concluded that the rescue option would have had a considerably higher chance of bringing Columbia 's crew back alive . Memorials ( edit ) On February 4 , 2003 , President George W. Bush and his wife Laura led a memorial service for the astronauts ' families at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center .", "20": "Two days later , Vice President Dick Cheney and his wife Lynne led a similar service at Washington National Cathedral . Patti LaBelle sang `` Way Up There '' as part of the service . A makeshift memorial at the main entrance to the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston , Texas Columbia Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery Columbia memorial on Mars Exploration Rover `` Spirit '' Space Shuttle Columbia memorial -- Sabine County , Texas On February 2 , 2003 , and throughout March , April , and May 2003 , large memorial Catholic Brazilian masses and Roman Catholic memorial concerts were held in Rio de Janeiro , Sao Paulo , and other cities in Brazil where Brazilian Catholic priest Marcelo Rossi and his concert partner Belo sang a Christian hymn `` Noites Traicoeiras '' ( Treacherous Nights ) as tribute to the seven Columbia astronauts , as well as the other seven crew members who lost their lives in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986 . The concerts were televised to millions throughout Brazil and the world . On March 26 , the United States House of Representatives ' Science Committee approved funds for the construction of a memorial at Arlington National Cemetery for the STS - 107 crew . A similar memorial was built at the cemetery for the last crew of Challenger . On October 28 , 2003 , the names of the astronauts were added to the Space Mirror Memorial at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex . On April 1 , 2003 , the Opening Day of baseball season , the Houston Astros ( named in honor of the U.S. space program ) honored the Columbia crew by having seven simultaneous first pitches thrown by family and friends of the crew . For the National Anthem , 107 NASA personnel , including flight controllers and others involved in Columbia 's final mission , carried a U.S. flag onto the field . In addition , the Astros wore the mission patch on their sleeves and replaced all dugout advertising with the mission patch logo for the entire season . On February 1 , 2004 , the first anniversary of the Columbia disaster , Super Bowl XXXVIII held in Houston 's Reliant Stadium began with a pregame tribute to the crew of the Columbia by singer Josh Groban performing `` You Raise Me Up '' , with the crew of STS - 114 , the first post-Columbia Space Shuttle mission , in attendance .", "21": "In 2004 , Bush conferred posthumous Congressional Space Medals of Honor to all 14 crew members lost in the Challenger and Columbia accidents . NASA named several places in honor of Columbia and the crew . Seven asteroids discovered in July 2001 at the Mount Palomar observatory were officially given the names of the seven astronauts : 51823 Rickhusband , 51824 Mikeanderson , 51825 Davidbrown , 51826 Kalpanachawla , 51827 Laurelclark , 51828 Ilanramon , 51829 Williemccool . On Mars , the landing site of the rover Spirit was named Columbia Memorial Station , and included a memorial plaque to the Columbia crew mounted on the back of the high gain antenna . A complex of seven hills east of the Spirit landing site was dubbed the Columbia Hills ; each of the seven hills was individually named for a member of the crew , and Husband Hill in particular was ascended and explored by the rover . In 2006 , the IAU approved naming of a cluster of seven small craters in the Apollo basin on the far side of the Moon after the astronauts . Back on Earth , NASA 's National Scientific Balloon Facility was renamed the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility . Other tributes included the decision by Amarillo , Texas , to rename its airport Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport after the Amarillo native . Washington State Route 904 was renamed Lt. Michael P. Anderson Memorial Highway , as it runs through Cheney , Washington , the town where he graduated from high school . A newly constructed elementary school located on Fairchild Air Force Base near Spokane , Washington , was named Michael Anderson Elementary School . Anderson had attended fifth grade at Blair Elementary , the base 's previous elementary school , while his father was stationed there . A mountain peak near Kit Carson Peak and Challenger Point in the Sangre de Cristo Range was renamed Columbia Point , and a dedication plaque was placed on the point in August , 2003 . Seven dormitories were named in honor of Columbia crew members at the Florida Institute of Technology , Creighton University , The University of Texas at Arlington , and the Columbia Elementary School in the Brevard County School District . The Huntsville City Schools in Huntsville , Alabama , a city strongly associated with NASA , named their most recent high school Columbia High School as a memorial to the crew .", "22": "A Department of Defense school in Guam was renamed Commander William C. McCool Elementary School . The City of Palmdale , California , the birthplace of the entire shuttle fleet , changed the name of the thoroughfare Avenue M to Columbia Way . In Avondale , Arizona , the Avondale Elementary School where Michael Anderson 's sister worked had sent a T - shirt with him into space . It was supposed to have an assembly when he returned from space . The school was later renamed Michael Anderson Elementary . The first dedicated meteorological satellite launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation ( ISRO ) on 2 September 2002 , named Metsat - 1 , was later renamed Kalpana - 1 by Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in memory of India - born Kalpana Chawla . In October 2004 , both houses of Congress passed a resolution authored by US Representative Lucille Roybal - Allard and co-sponsored by the entire contingent of California representatives to Congress changing the name of Downey , California 's Space Science Learning Center to the Columbia Memorial Space Science Learning Center . The facility is located at the former manufacturing site of the space shuttles , including Columbia and Challenger . The US Air Force 's Squadron Officer School at Maxwell Air Force Base , Alabama , renamed their auditorium in Husband 's honor . He was a graduate of the program . The US Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base in California named its pilot lounge for Husband . NASA named a supercomputer `` Columbia '' in the crew 's honor in 2004 . It was located at the NASA Advanced Supercomputing Division at Ames Research Center on Moffett Federal Airfield near Mountain View , California . The first part of the system , built in 2003 , known as `` Kalpana '' was dedicated to Chawla , who worked at Ames prior to joining the Space Shuttle program . A US Navy compound at a major coalition military base in Afghanistan is named Camp McCool . In addition , the athletic field at McCool 's alma mater , Coronado High School in Lubbock , Texas , was renamed the Willie McCool Track and Field . A proposed reservoir in Cherokee County in Eastern Texas is to be named Lake Columbia .", "23": "Ilan Ramon High School was established in 2006 in Hod HaSharon , Israel , in tribute to the first Israeli astronaut . The school 's symbol shows the planet Earth with an aircraft orbiting around it . The National Naval Medical Center dedicated Laurel Clark Memorial Auditorium on July 11 , 2003 . Gamma Phi Beta sorority , of which Clark was a member , created the Laurel Clark Foundation in her honor . PS 58 in Staten Island , New York , was named Space Shuttle Columbia School in honor of the failed mission . The Challenger Columbia Stadium in League City , Texas is named in honor of the victims of both the Columbia disaster as well as the Challenger disaster in 1986 . Columbia Colles , a range of hills on Pluto discovered by the New Horizons spacecraft in July 2015 , was named in honor of the victims of the disaster . A starship on Star Trek : Enterprise was named U.S.S. Columbia in honor of the Columbia . Effect on Space programs ( edit ) Following the loss of Columbia , the space shuttle program was suspended . The further construction of the International Space Station ( ISS ) was also delayed , as the space shuttles were the only available delivery vehicle for station modules . The station was supplied using Russian unmanned Progress ships , and crews were exchanged using Russian - manned Soyuz spacecraft , and forced to operate on a skeleton crew of two . Less than a year after the accident , President Bush announced the Vision for Space Exploration , calling for the space shuttle fleet to complete the ISS , with retirement by the year 2010 following the completion of the ISS , to be replaced by a newly developed Crew Exploration Vehicle for travel to the Moon and Mars . NASA planned to return the space shuttle to service around September 2004 ; that date was pushed back to July 2005 . On July 26 , 2005 , at 10 : 39 am EST , Space Shuttle Discovery cleared the tower on the `` Return to Flight '' mission STS - 114 , marking the shuttle 's return to space . Overall the STS - 114 flight was highly successful , but a similar piece of foam from a different portion of the tank was shed , although the debris did not strike the Orbiter . Due to this , NASA once again grounded the shuttles until the remaining problem was understood and a solution implemented .", "24": "After delaying their re-entry by two days due to adverse weather conditions , Commander Eileen Collins and Pilot James M. Kelly returned Discovery safely to Earth on August 9 , 2005 . Later that same month , the external tank construction site at Michoud was damaged by Hurricane Katrina . At the time , there was concern that this would set back further shuttle flights by at least two months and possibly more . The actual cause of the foam loss on both Columbia and Discovery was not determined until December 2005 , when x-ray photographs of another tank showed that thermal expansion and contraction during filling , not human error , caused cracks that led to foam loss . NASA 's Hale formally apologized to the Michoud workers who had been blamed for the loss of Columbia for almost three years . The second `` Return to Flight '' mission , STS - 121 , launched on July 4 , 2006 , at 2 : 37 : 55 pm ( EDT ) , after two previous launch attempts were scrubbed because of lingering thunderstorms and high winds around the launch pad . The launch took place despite objections from its chief engineer and safety head . This mission increased the ISS crew to three . A 5 - inch ( 130 mm ) crack in the foam insulation of the external tank gave cause for concern ; however , the Mission Management Team gave the go for launch . Space Shuttle Discovery touched down successfully on July 17 , 2006 at 9 : 14 : 43 am ( EDT ) on Runway 15 at the Kennedy Space Center . On August 13 , 2006 , NASA announced that STS - 121 had shed more foam than they had expected . While this did not delay the launch for the next mission -- STS - 115 , originally set to lift off on August 27 -- the weather and other technical glitches did , with a lightning strike , Hurricane Ernesto and a faulty fuel tank sensor combining to delay the launch until September 9 . On September 19 , landing was delayed an extra day to examine Atlantis after objects were found floating near the shuttle in the same orbit . When no damage was detected , Atlantis landed successfully on September 21 . The Columbia Crew Survival Investigation Report released by NASA on December 30 , 2008 , made further recommendations to improve a crew 's survival chances on future space vehicles , such as the ( planned ) Orion spacecraft .", "25": "These included improvements in crew restraints , finding ways to deal more effectively with catastrophic cabin depressurization , more `` graceful degradation '' of vehicles during a disaster so that crews will have a better chance at survival , and automated parachute systems . Sociocultural aftermath ( edit ) Fears of terrorism ( edit ) After the shuttle 's breakup , there were some initial fears that terrorists might have been involved , but no evidence of that has ever surfaced . Security surrounding the launch and landing of the space shuttle had been increased because the crew included the first Israeli astronaut . The Merritt Island launch facility , like all sensitive government areas , had increased security after the September 11 attacks . Purple streak image ( edit ) The San Francisco Chronicle reported that an amateur astronomer had taken a five - second exposure that appeared to show `` a purplish line near the shuttle '' , resembling lightning , during re-entry . The CAIB report concluded that the image was the result of `` camera vibrations during a long - exposure '' . 2003 Armageddon film hoax ( edit ) In response to the disaster , FX canceled its scheduled airing two nights later of the 1998 film Armageddon , in which the space shuttle Atlantis is depicted as being destroyed by asteroid fragments . In a hoax inspired by the destruction of Columbia , some images that were purported to be satellite photographs of the shuttle 's `` explosion '' turned out to be screen captures from the space shuttle destruction scene of Armageddon . Music ( edit ) The 2003 album Bananas by Deep Purple includes `` Contact Lost '' , an instrumental piece written by guitarist Steve Morse in remembrance of the loss . Morse is donating his songwriting royalties to the families of the astronauts . Catherine Faber and Callie Hills ( the folk group known as Echo 's Children ) included a memorial song titled Columbia on their 2004 album From the Hazel Tree . The 2005 album Ultimatum -- EP by The Long Winters contains the song `` The Commander Thinks Aloud '' , which was songwriter / singer John Roderick 's musing on the crew 's perspective of the unexpected catastrophe . In addition , the January 30 , 2015 episode of Hrishikesh Hirway 's Song Exploder podcast presented an interview with John Roderick about the songwriting and recording process for `` The Commander Thinks Aloud '' .", "26": "Swiss post-rock band The Evpatoria Report used the records of radio communication between Columbia and CAPCOM as a sample for their instrumental song Taijin Kyofusho on their 2005 album Golevka . The Hungarian composer Peter Eötvös wrote a piece named Seven for solo violin and orchestra in 2006 in memory of the crew of Columbia . Seven was premiered in 2007 by violinist Akiko Suwanai , conducted by Pierre Boulez , and it was recorded in 2012 with violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja and the composer conducting . The 2008 album Columbia : We Dare to Dream by Anne Cabrera was written as a tribute to space shuttle Columbia STS - 107 , the crew , support teams , recovery teams , and the crew 's families . A copy of the album on compact disc was flown aboard space shuttle Discovery mission STS - 131 to the International Space Station by astronaut Clayton Anderson in April 2010 . The Scottish Folk - Rock band Runrig included a song entitled `` Somewhere '' on their album The Story ( 2016 ) ; the song was dedicated to Laurel Clark ( who had become a fan of the band during her Navy service in Scotland ) , and includes a piece of her wake up song , followed by some radio chatter , at the end .

The 51 - L Challenger accident investigation showed that the Challenger CM remained intact and the crew was able to take some immediate actions after vehicle breakup , although the loads experienced were much higher as a result of the aerodynamic loads ( estimated at 16 G to 21 G ). 5 The Challenger crew became incapacitated quickly and could not complete activation of all breathing air systems , leading to the conclusion that an incapacitating cabin depressurization occurred . By comparison , the Columbia crew experienced lower loads ( ~ 3.5 G ) at the CE . The fact that none of the crew members lowered their visors strongly suggests that the crew was incapacitated after the CE by a rapid depressurization . Although no quantitative conclusion can be made regarding the cabin depressurization rate , it is probable that the cabin depressurization rate was high enough to incapacitate the crew in a matter of seconds . Conclusion L1 - 5 . The depressurization incapacitated the crew members so rapidly that they were not able to lower their helmet visors .

She is also the only woman in the United Kingdom to have won it and also the first person to win a million pounds or more on a British television game show . She has appeared on the BBC Two quiz show Eggheads since 2003 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Personal life 2 Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? 3 References 4 External links Personal life ( edit ) Keppel 's father Hon Walter Arnold Crispian Keppel ( 1914 -- 1996 ) was a lieutenant commander in the Fleet Air Arm , who moved with the family to various naval postings around Britain until they settled in London when she was 17 . She took A-levels at St Mary 's School , Wantage , and completed a secretarial course , and married her first husband Desmond Corcoran , an art dealer . The couple went on to have three children , Sibylla , Alexander , and Rosie , but divorced in 1980 . In 1985 she married comedy script writer Neil Shand .", "1": "They separated in 1987 . Keppel is the granddaughter of Walter , 9th Earl of Albemarle . Her great - grandfather , the 8th Earl , was brother - in - law of Alice Keppel , the mistress of King Edward VII , and was the great - granduncle of Camilla , Duchess of Cornwall . The Duchess of Cornwall is therefore her third cousin . Through the noble lineage of her aforementioned grandfather , her ancestry can be traced back to Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II of England , who were the subjects of her million - pound question on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? . Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? ( edit ) £ 1 million ( 15 of 15 ) Which King was married to Eleanor of Aquitaine ? A : Henry I B : Henry II C : Richard I D: Henry V Keppel 's £ 1 million question Keppel appeared on the 20 November 2000 episode of the UK edition of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? , becoming the 12th winner in the world and the first in the UK to win one million pounds . At the time , she was a garden designer living in Fulham and was `` struggling for money '' . Nonetheless , she had spent about £ 100 phoning the quiz show more than 50 times to secure a place . `` BT rang me up and said , ' Do you realise your telephone bills are rising ? ' '' There was speculation at the time that the win was leaked to the press so that ITV would draw ratings away from BBC One which was showing the last episode of One Foot in the Grave in the same timeslot . However , the Independent Television Commission cleared Celador and ITV of the allegations . Keppel now appears on the BBC Two quiz show Eggheads , where she and four other quiz champions are pitted against members of the public .

It won an Academy Award for Best Original Song . David and Bacharach also won Best Original Score . The song was recorded by B.J. Thomas in seven takes , after Bacharach expressed dissatisfaction with the first six . In the film version of the song , Thomas had been recovering from laryngitis , which made his voice sound hoarser than in the 7 - inch release . The film version featured a separate vaudeville - style instrumental break in double time while Paul Newman performed bicycle stunts . The single by B.J.", "1": "Thomas reached number 1 on charts in the United States , Canada , Norway and reached number 38 in the UK Singles Chart . It topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks in January 1970 and was also the first American number - one hit of the 1970s . The song also spent seven weeks atop the Billboard adult contemporary chart . Billboard ranked it as the No. 4 song of 1970 . According to Billboard magazine , Thomas ' single had sold over 2 million copies by March 14 , 1970 , with eight - track and cassette versions also climbing the charts .

He chose instead to record the song `` Sunday Morning Coming Down '' , written by Kris Kristofferson . Bob Dylan is supposed to have been approached for the song , but he , too , reportedly declined . The trumpet solos in the song are performed by Chuck Findley . In 2004 , it finished at number 23 on AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema . In 2008 , the single was ranked 85th on Billboard 's Hot 100 All - Time Top Songs and placed 95th in the 55th Anniversary edition of the All - Time Hot 100 list in 2013 . Billboard Magazine also ranked the song 15th on its Top 50 Movie Songs of All Time list in 2014 . The song , initially when it came out , I believe it was October of 69 , the movie did n't come out until December , it did get some bad reviews . It was a very unique and different sounding song , Bacharach and David never had any qualms about trying to do anything different , or push the envelope so to speak . So nowadays , it sounds pretty tame , but back then , radio resisted it to some degree . But , when the movie came out it hit hugely and sold about 200,000 to 300,000 records a day ( and continued selling ) for about three years . -- B.J.", "2": "Thomas , Interview , Pods o ' Pop ( August 22 , 2011 ) On December 3 , 2013 , the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences announced that the single would be inducted into the 2014 Grammy Hall Of Fame . `` Raindrops Keep Fallin ' on My Head '' was used in the film Spy Hard , which parodied the scene in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid . Police Constable Pan-Am sings the opening lines at the end of his appearance in Series 2 , Episode 4 of Monty Python 's Flying Circus . It is on the soundtracks to Forrest Gump and Spider - Man 2 , in the latter accentuating Peter Parker 's blissful mood after abandoning his Spider - Man identity and its responsibilities . It was used in the Kevin Smith film Clerks II . The first episode of the second season of the popular medical drama Grey 's Anatomy is named after the song . It is also used in The Simpsons , episode 16 of the fourth season , called `` Duffless '' , at the end of the episode , while credits are presented .

Paul Mauriat recorded it with his Grand Orchestra it 1973 . It was the only known cover in the USSR . The Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers cover version is credited with adding greater nuance to the song , the Financial Times citing their recording as transforming the song from carefree optimism to `` an exhortation to keep going in the face of tragedy '' and noting that Bradfield 's voice `` added grit to the facile lyric '' . The group often spent their downtime on the tour bus watching the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid , and incorporated the song into live sets . After the disappearance of lyricist Richey Edwards , the band decided to continue rather than split up . Having booked studio time in France to record their fourth album , Everything Must Go , they were invited to record for the War Child album The Help Album . The project required all songs to be recorded in one day . While band biographer Simon Price has described the recording and release of the record as a `` coded message '' that the band still existed , Bradfield recalls the events differently : `` ... us putting it out was n't planned as us saying ' We 're OK , guys ! ' , but the deadline was the next day after we 'd arrived in this place , for some kind of new beginning . '' The band 's recorded version of the song contains the first recorded instance of drummer Sean Moore performing on trumpet , and also appears on their 2003 B - sides and rarities compilation album Lipstick Traces ( A Secret History of Manic Street Preachers ) . The Manics further reference the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with the B - side `` Sepia '' . The Barry Sisters covered the song in a Yiddish version ( `` Trop'ns Fin Regen Oif Mein Kop '' ) on their 1973 album Our Way .", "5": "Lisa Miskovsky covered the song in the extended version of her self - titled ( 2004 ) album .

The secret society was formed to protect the rights of the colonists and to fight taxation by the British government . They played a major role in most colonies in battling the Stamp Act in 1765 . The group officially disbanded after the Stamp Act was repealed . However , the name was applied to other local separatist groups during the years preceding the American Revolution . In the popular imagination , the Sons of Liberty was a formal underground organization with recognized members and leaders . More likely , the name was an underground term for any men resisting new Crown taxes and laws . The well - known label allowed organizers to make or create anonymous summons to a Liberty Tree , `` Liberty Pole '' , or other public meeting - place . Furthermore , a unifying name helped to promote inter-Colonial efforts against Parliament and the Crown 's actions . Their motto became `` No taxation without representation .

The men also poured hot tea down Malcolm 's throat ; note the noose hanging on the Liberty Tree and the Stamp Act posted upside - down In 1765 , the British government needed money to afford the 10,000 officers and soldiers living in the colonies , and intended that the colonists living there should contribute . The British passed a series of taxes aimed at the colonists , and many of the colonists refused to pay certain taxes ; they argued that they should not be held accountable for taxes which were decided upon without any form of their consent through a representative . This became commonly known as `` No Taxation without Representation . '' Parliament insisted on its right to rule the colonies despite the fact that the colonists had no representative in Parliament . The most incendiary tax was the Stamp Act of 1765 , which caused a firestorm of opposition through legislative resolutions ( starting in the colony of Virginia ) , public demonstrations , threats , and occasional hurtful losses . The organization spread hour by hour , after independent starts in several different colonies . In August 1765 , the group was founded in Boston , Massachusetts . By November 6 , a committee was set up in New York to correspond with other colonies . In December , an alliance was formed between groups in New York and Connecticut . January bore witness to a correspondence link between Boston and New York City , and by March , Providence had initiated connections with New York , New Hampshire , and Newport , Rhode Island . March also marked the emergence of Sons of Liberty organizations in New Jersey , Maryland , and Virginia . In Boston , another example of violence could be found in their treatment of local stamp distributor Andrew Oliver . They burned his effigy in the streets . When he did not resign , they escalated to burning down his office building .", "2": "Even after he resigned , they almost destroyed the whole house of his close associate Lieutenant Governor Thomas Hutchinson . It is believed that the Sons of Liberty did this to excite the lower classes and get them actively involved in rebelling against the authorities . Their actions made many of the stamp distributors resign in fear . Early in the American Revolution , the former Sons of Liberty generally joined more formal groups , such as the Committee of Safety . The Sons of Liberty popularized the use of tar and feathering to punish and humiliate offending government officials starting in 1767 . This method was also used against British Loyalists during the American Revolution . This punishment had long been used by sailors to punish their mates . New York ( edit ) In December 1773 , a new group calling itself the Sons of Liberty issued and distributed a declaration in New York City called the Association of the Sons of Liberty in New York , which formally stated that they were opposed to the Tea Act and that anyone who assisted in the execution of the act was `` an enemy to the liberties of America '' and that `` whoever shall transgress any of these resolutions , we will not deal with , or employ , or have any connection with him '' . After the end of the American Revolutionary War , Isaac Sears , Marinus Willet , and John Lamb in New York City revived the Sons of Liberty . In March 1784 , they rallied an enormous crowd that called for the expulsion of any remaining Loyalists from the state starting May 1 . The Sons of Liberty were able to gain enough seats in the New York assembly elections of December 1784 to have passed a set of punitive laws against Loyalists . In violation of the Treaty of Paris ( 1783 ) , they called for the confiscation of the property of Loyalists . Alexander Hamilton defended the Loyalists , citing the supremacy of the treaty . Flags ( edit ) In 1767 , the Sons of Liberty adopted a flag called the rebellious stripes flag with nine vertical stripes , four white and five red . A flag having 13 horizontal red and white stripes was used by Commodore Esek Hopkins ( Commander - in - Chief of the Continental Navy ) and by American merchant ships during the war . This flag was also associated with the Sons of Liberty .", "3": "Red and white were common colors of the flags , although other color combinations were used , such as green and white or yellow and white .

They generally left very few records . The name was also used during the American Civil War . By 1864 , the Copperhead group the Knights of the Golden Circle set up an offshoot called Order of the Sons of Liberty . They both came under federal prosecution in 1864 for treason , especially in Indiana . A radical wing of the Zionist movement launched a boycott in the U.S.", "4": "against British films in 1948 , in response to British policies in Palestine . It called itself the `` Sons of Liberty . '' Modern references ( edit ) The patriotic spirit of the Sons of Liberty has been used by Walt Disney Pictures through their 1957 film adaptation of Esther Forbes ' novel Johnny Tremain . Within the movie , the Sons of Liberty sing a rousing song titled `` The Liberty Tree '' . This song raises the Liberty Tree to a national icon in a manner similar to the way in which George M. Cohan 's `` You 're a Grand Old Flag '' revitalized respect for the American flag in the early twentieth century . In the 1995 alternative history novel The Two Georges , the Sons of Liberty are depicted as a nativist terrorist organisation whose aim is to make the North American Union independent of the British Empire ; their attempts include the theft of the titular portrait for a fifty million pound ransom and two assassination attempts on King - Emperor Charles III . The flag used by the Sons of Liberty and the Independence Party alike is a variation of the North American Jack and Stripes with the Union Jack in the canton being replaced by a bald eagle . The Sons of Liberty are referred to in the 2001 video game Metal Gear Solid 2 : Sons of Liberty . It refers to them in the title , and a group within the game calls itself the Sons of Liberty and models itself after them . In 2015 , a three - part mini-series aired on the History Channel with the same name . The Sons of Liberty are referred to in the 2015 Broadway show Hamilton . In the song `` Yorktown ( The World Turned Upside Down ) , '' the character Hercules Mulligan sings , `` I am runnin ' with the Sons of Liberty and I am lovin ' it . '' In an episode of the Claymation children 's TV show Gumby , entitled `` Son of Liberty '' ( first aired in 1966 ) , Gumby becomes a member of the Sons of Liberty .

The Kashmir issue has been the main cause , whether direct or indirect , of all major conflicts between the two countries with the exception of the Indo - Pakistani War of 1971 where conflict originated due to turmoil in erstwhile East Pakistan ( now Bangladesh ) .

It was the intention of those who wished for a Muslim state to come from British India to have a clean partition between independent and equal `` Pakistan '' and `` Hindustan '' once independence came .", "1": "The partition itself , according to leading politicians such as Mohammed Ali Jinnah , leader of the All India Muslim League , and Jawaharlal Nehru , leader of the Indian National Congress , should have resulted in peaceful relations . As the Hindu and Muslim populations were scattered unevenly in the whole country , the partition of British India into India and Pakistan in 1947 was not possible along religious lines . Nearly one third of the Muslim population of British India remained in India . Inter-communal violence between Hindus , Sikhs and Muslims resulted in between 500,000 and 1 million casualties . Princely - ruled territories , such as Kashmir and Hyderabad , were also involved in the Partition . Rulers of these territories had the choice of joining India or Pakistan . Both India and Pakistan laid claim on Kashmir and thus it became the main point of conflict . The ruler of Kashmir , which had a Muslim majority population , joined India by signing the Instrument of Accession . Wars ( edit ) Refugees awaiting evacuation by IAF Dakota on Poonch Airstrip , December 1947 . Indo - Pakistani war of 1947 ( edit ) Main article : Indo - Pakistani War of 1947 Indian soldiers during the 1947 -- 1948 war . The war , also called the First Kashmir War , started in October 1947 when Pakistan feared that the Maharaja of the princely state of Kashmir and Jammu would accede to India . Following partition , states were left to choose whether to join India or Pakistan or to remain independent . Jammu and Kashmir , the largest of the princely states , had a predominantly Muslim population ruled by the Hindu Maharaja Hari Singh . Tribal forces with support from the army of Pakistan attacked and occupied parts of the princely state forcing the Maharaja to sign the Instrument of Accession of the princely state to the Dominion of India to receive Indian military aid . The UN Security Council passed Resolution 47 on 22 April 1948 . The fronts solidified gradually along what came to be known as the Line of Control . A formal cease - fire was declared at 23 : 59 on the night of 1 January 1949 .", "2": "India gained control of about two - thirds of the state including ( Kashmir valley , Jammu and Ladakh ) whereas Pakistan gained roughly a third of Kashmir ( Azad Kashmir and Gilgit -- Baltistan ) , Indo - Pakistani War of 1965 ( edit ) Main article : Indo - Pakistani War of 1965 This war started following Pakistan 's Operation Gibraltar , which was designed to infiltrate forces into Jammu and Kashmir to precipitate an insurgency against rule by India . India retaliated by launching a full - scale military attack on West Pakistan . The seventeen - day war caused thousands of casualties on both sides and witnessed the largest engagement of armored vehicles and the largest tank battle since World War II . The hostilities between the two countries ended after a ceasefire was declared following diplomatic intervention by the Soviet Union and USA and the subsequent issuance of the Tashkent Declaration . Both India and Pakistan claimed victory . Indo - Pakistani war of 1971 ( edit ) Main articles : Indo - Pakistani War of 1971 and Bangladesh Liberation War Lieutenant - General A.A.K. Niazi , the commander of Pakistan Eastern Command , signing the instrument of surrender in Dhaka on 16 Dec 1971 , in the presence of India 's Lt. Gen. Jagjit Singh Aurora . Pakistan 's PNS Ghazi , the Pakistani submarine which sank off during the 1971 Indo - Pakistani War under mysterious circumstances on the Visakhapatnam coast . This war was unique in the way that it did not involve the issue of Kashmir , but was rather precipitated by the crisis created by the political battle brewing in erstwhile East Pakistan between Sheikh Mujibur Rahman , Leader of East Pakistan , and Yahya Khan and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto , leaders of West Pakistan . This would culminate in the declaration of Independence of Bangladesh from the state system of Pakistan . Following Operation Searchlight and the 1971 Bangladesh atrocities , about 10 million Bengalis in East Pakistan took refuge in neighbouring India . India intervened in the ongoing Bangladesh liberation movement . After a large scale pre-emptive strike by Pakistan , full - scale hostilities between the two countries commenced . Pakistan attacked at several places along India 's western border with Pakistan , but the Indian Army successfully held their positions .", "3": "The Indian Army quickly responded to the Pakistan Army 's movements in the west and made some initial gains , including capturing around 5,795 square miles ( 15,010 km ) of Pakistan territory ( land gained by India in Pakistani Kashmir , Pakistani Punjab and Sindh sectors but gifted it back to Pakistan in the Simla Agreement of 1972 , as a gesture of goodwill ) . Within two weeks of intense fighting , Pakistani forces in East Pakistan surrendered to the joint command of Indian and Bangladeshi forces following which the People 's Republic of Bangladesh was created . This war saw the highest number of casualties in any of the India - Pakistan conflicts , as well as the largest number of prisoners of war since the Second World War after the surrender of more than 90,000 Pakistani military and civilians . In the words of one Pakistani author , `` Pakistan lost half its navy , a quarter of its air force and a third of its army '' . Indo - Pakistani war of 1999 ( edit ) Main article : Kargil War Commonly known as the Kargil War , this conflict between the two countries was mostly limited . During early 1999 , Pakistani troops infiltrated across the Line of Control ( LoC ) and occupied Indian territory mostly in the Kargil district . India responded by launching a major military and diplomatic offensive to drive out the Pakistani infiltrators . Two months into the conflict , Indian troops had slowly retaken most of the ridges that were encroached by the infiltrators . according to official count , an estimated 75 % -- 80 % of the intruded area and nearly all high ground was back under Indian control . Fearing large - scale escalation in military conflict , the international community , led by the United States , increased diplomatic pressure on Pakistan to withdraw forces from remaining Indian territory . Faced with the possibility of international isolation , the already fragile Pakistani economy was weakened further . The morale of Pakistani forces after the withdrawal declined as many units of the Northern Light Infantry suffered heavy casualties . The government refused to accept the dead bodies of many officers , an issue that provoked outrage and protests in the Northern Areas . Pakistan initially did not acknowledge many of its casualties , but Nawaz Sharif later said that over 4,000 Pakistani troops were killed in the operation and that Pakistan had lost the conflict .", "4": "By the end of July 1999 , organized hostilities in the Kargil district had ceased . Other Armed engagements ( edit ) Apart from the aforementioned wars , there have been skirmishes between the two nations from time to time . Some have bordered on all - out war , while others were limited in scope . The countries were expected to fight each other in 1955 after warlike posturing on both sides , but full - scale war did not break out . Standing Armed conflicts ( edit ) Insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir : An insurgency in Indian - administered Kashmir has been a cause for heightened tensions . India has also accused Pakistan - backed militant groups of executing several terrorist attacks across India . Siachen conflict : In 1984 , India launched Operation Meghdoot capturing all of the Siachen Glacier . Further clashes erupted in the glacial area in 1985 , 1987 and 1995 as Pakistan sought , without success , to oust India from its stronghold . Sir Creek : The dispute lies in the interpretation of the maritime boundary line between Kutch and Sindh . Before India 's independence , the provincial region was a part of Bombay Presidency of British India . After India 's independence in 1947 , Sindh became a part of Pakistan while Kutch became a part of India . Pakistan lays claim to the entire creek as per paras 9 and 10 of the Bombay Government Resolution of 1914 signed between the then Government of Sindh and Rao Maharaj of Kutch . India -- Pakistan maritime trespassing : frequent trespassing and violation of respective national territorial waters of India and Pakistan in peacetime occurs commonly by Pakistani and Indian fishermen operating along the coastline of the Indian state of Gujarat and the Pakistani province of Sindh . Most violations occur due to the absence of a physical boundary and lack of navigational tools for small fishermen . Hundreds of fishermen are arrested by the Coast Guards of both nations , but obtaining their release is difficult and long - winded owing to the hostile relations between the two nations . Past skirmishes and standoffs ( edit ) Indian integration of Junagadh : The princely state of Junagadh , which had a Hindu majority and a Muslim ruler acceded to Pakistan on 15 September 1947 , claiming a connection by sea .", "5": "Pakistan 's acceptance of the Instrument of Accession was seen as a strategy to get a plebiscite held in Kashmir which had a Muslim majority and a Hindu ruler . Following communal tensions Indian military entered the territory which was protested by Pakistan as a violation of International law . Later a plebiscite was held and the accession was reversed for the state to join India . Operation Brasstacks : ( the largest of its kind in South Asia ) , conducted by India between November 1986 and March 1987 , and Pakistani mobilisation in response , raised tensions and fears that it could lead to another war between the two neighbours . 2001 -- 2002 India -- Pakistan standoff : The terrorist attack on the Indian Parliament on 13 December 2001 , which India blamed on the Pakistan - based terrorist organisations , Lashkar - e-Taiba and Jaish - e-Mohammed , prompted the 2001 -- 2002 India -- Pakistan standoff and brought both sides close to war . 2008 India Pakistan standoff : a stand - off between the two nations following the 2008 Mumbai attacks which was defused by diplomatic efforts . Following ten coordinated shooting and bombing attacks across Mumbai , India 's largest city , tensions heightened between the two countries since India claimed interrogation results alleging Pakistan 's ISI supporting the attackers while Pakistan denied it . Pakistan placed its air force on alert and moved troops to the Indian border , voicing concerns about proactive movements of the Indian Army and the Indian government 's possible plans to launch attacks on Pakistani soil . The tension defused in short time and Pakistan moved its troops away from border . 2016 India - Pakistan military confrontation : On 18 September 2016 , militants attacked the Indian Army 's brigade headquarters at Uri , killing 19 soldiers . The attack came after two months of extreme unrest in Kashmir , caused due to the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in an encounter with Indian security forces . Amid high tensions and risk of escalation along the Line of Control , ten days after the attack , on 29 September 2016 , the Indian Army carried out a military raid in Pakistan - Administered - Kashmir , targeting launchpads along the LoC , the de facto border between India and Pakistan .", "6": "An Indian soldier was captured by the Pakistan Army the very next day , but it was claimed that he had inadvertently crossed the border and that his capture was unrelated to the ' surgical strikes ' conducted the night before . The soldier was eventually released as a goodwill gesture from the Pakistani side , and ceasefire violations stopped on either side as tensions were defused and normalcy returned to the Kashmir valley . In 2016 , An Indian army official claimed that over 4,500 Indian soldiers have been killed in ceasefire violation related incidents since 2001 . Incidents ( edit ) Atlantique Incident : Pakistan Navy 's Naval Air Arm Breguet Atlantique patrol plane , carrying 16 people on board , was shot down by the Indian Air Force for alleged violation of airspace . The episode took place in the Rann of Kutch on 10 August 1999 , just a month after the Kargil War , creating a tense atmosphere between India and Pakistan . Foreign diplomats noted that the plane fell inside Pakistani territory , although it may have crossed the border . However , they also believe that India 's reaction was unjustified . Pakistan later lodged a compensation claim at the International Court of Justice , accusing India for the incident , but the Court dismissed the case in a split decision ruling the Court did not have jurisdiction . The 2011 India -- Pakistan border shooting incident took place between 30 August and 1 September 2011 across the Line of Control in Kupwara District / Neelam Valley , resulting in five Indian soldiers and three Pakistani soldiers being killed . Both countries gave different accounts of the incident , each accusing the other of initiating the hostilities . 2013 India -- Pakistan border incident in the Mendhar sector of Jammu & Kashmir , due to the beheading of an Indian soldier . A total of 22 soldiers ( 12 Indian and 10 Pakistani ) died . 2014 -- 16 India -- Pakistan border skirmishes in Arnia sector of Jammu & Kashmir due to killing of 1 soldier of Border Security Force and injured 3 soldiers and 4 civilians by Pakistan Rangers .", "7": "Nuclear - arms race ( edit ) The nuclear conflict between both countries is of passive strategic nature with nuclear doctrine of Pakistan stating a first strike policy , although the strike would only be initiated if and only if , the Pakistan Armed Forces are unable to halt an invasion ( as for example in 1971 war ) or a nuclear strike is launched against Pakistan , whereas India has a declared policy of no first use . Pokhran - I ( Smiling Buddha ) : On 18 May 1974 India detonated an 8 - kiloton nuclear device at Pokhran Test Range , becoming the first nation to become nuclear capable outside the five permanent members of United Nations Security Council as well as dragging Pakistan along with it into a nuclear arms race with the Pakistani prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto swearing to reciprocate India quoting `` My countrymen would prefer having a nuclear bomb even if they have to eat grass '' . The Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission ( PAEC ) Chairman Munir Ahmed Khan said that the test would force Pakistan to test its own nuclear bomb . Kirana - I : In 1980s a series of 24 different cold tests were conducted by PAEC , led by chairman Munir Ahmad Khan under extreme secrecy . The tunnels at Kirana Hills , Sargodha , are reported to have been bored after the Chagai nuclear test sites , it is widely believed that the tunnels were constructed sometime between 1979 and 1983 . As in Chagai , the tunnels at Kirana Hills had been bored and then sealed and this task was also undertaken by PAEC 's DTD . Later due to excessive US intelligence and satellite focus on the Kirana Hills site , it was abandoned and nuclear weapons testing was shifted to the Kala Chitta Range . Pokhran - II ( Operation Shakti ) : On 11 May 1998 India detonated another 5 nuclear devices at Pokhran Test Range . With jubilation and large scale approval from the Indian society came International sanctions as a reaction to this test , the most vehement reaction of all coming from Pakistan . Great ire was raised in Pakistan , which issued a stern statement claiming that India was instigating a nuclear arms race in the region . Pakistan vowed to match India 's nuclear capability with statements like : `` We are in a headlong arms race on the subcontinent '' .", "8": "Chagai - I : ( Youm - e-Takbir ) Within half a month of Pokhran - II , on 28 May 1998 Pakistan detonated 5 nuclear devices to reciprocate India in the nuclear arms race . Pakistani public , like the Indian , reacted with a celebration and heightened sense of nationalism for responding to India in kind and becoming the only Muslim nuclear power . The day was later given the title Youm - e-Takbir to further proclaim such . Chagai - II : Two days later , on 30 May 1998 , Pakistan detonated a 6th nuclear device completing its own series of underground tests with this being the last the two nations have carried out to date . Annual celebrations ( edit ) 28 May ( since 1998 ) as Youm - e-Takbir ( The day of Greatness ) in Pakistan . 26 July ( since 1999 ) as Kargil Vijay Diwas ( Kargil Victory Day ) in India . 6 September ( since 1965 ) as Defence Day ( Youm - e-Difa ) in Pakistan . 7 September ( since 1965 ) as Air Force Day ( Youm - e-Fizaya ) in Pakistan . 8 September ( since 1965 ) as Victory Day / Navy Day ( Youm - e-Bahr'ya ) in Pakistan . 4 December ( since 1971 ) as Navy Day in India . 16 December ( since 1971 ) as Vijay Diwas ( Victory Day ) in India . 16 December ( since 1971 ) as Bijoy Dibosh ( Victory Day ) in Bangladesh . Involvement of other nations ( edit ) Soviet Union : The USSR remained neutral during the 1965 war and played a pivotal role in negotiating the peace agreement between India and Pakistan . The Soviet Union provided diplomatic and military assistance to India during the 1971 war . In response to the US and UK 's deployment of the USS Enterprise and the HMS Eagle aircraft carriers , Moscow sent nuclear submarines and warships with anti-ship missiles in the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean , respectively . United States : The US had not given any military aid to Pakistan in the Indo - Pakistani War of 1965 .", "9": "The United States provided diplomatic and military support to Pakistan during the 1971 war by sending the USS Enterprise into the Indian Ocean . The United States did not support Pakistan during the Kargil War , and successfully pressured the Pakistani government to end hostilities . China : China had helped Pakistan in various wars with diplomatic support . Russia : Russia maintained a non-belligerent policy for both sides . Russia helped negotiate peace in 2001 -- 02 and helped divert the 2008 crisis .

{ "0": "Geocentric model - wikipedia Geocentric model Jump to : navigation , search `` Geocentric '' redirects here . For orbits around Earth , see Geocentric orbit . Figure of the heavenly bodies -- An illustration of the Ptolemaic geocentric system by Portuguese cosmographer and cartographer Bartolomeu Velho , 1568 ( Bibliothèque Nationale , Paris ) In astronomy , the geocentric model ( also known as geocentrism , or the Ptolemaic system ) is a superseded description of the universe with Earth at the center . Under the geocentric model , the Sun , Moon , stars , and planets all orbited Earth . The geocentric model served as the predominant description of the cosmos in many ancient civilizations , such as those of Aristotle and Ptolemy . Two observations supported the idea that Earth was the center of the Universe . First , from the view on Earth , the Sun appears to revolve around Earth once per day . While the Moon and the planets have their own motions , they also appear to revolve around Earth about once per day . The stars appeared to be on a celestial sphere , rotating once each day along an axis through the north and south geographic poles of Earth . Second , Earth does not seem to move from the perspective of an Earth - bound observer ; it appears to be solid , stable , and unmoving . Ancient Greek , ancient Roman and medieval philosophers usually combined the geocentric model with a spherical Earth . It is not the same as the older flat Earth model implied in some mythology . The ancient Jewish Babylonian uranography pictured a flat Earth with a dome - shaped , rigid canopy called the firmament placed over it ( רקיע - rāqîa ' ) . However , the ancient Greeks believed that the motions of the planets were circular and not elliptical , a view that was not challenged in Western culture until the 17th century through the synthesis of theories by Copernicus and Kepler . The astronomical predictions of Ptolemy 's geocentric model were used to prepare astrological and astronomical charts for over 1500 years .", "1": "The geocentric model held sway into the early modern age , but from the late 16th century onward , it was gradually superseded by the Heliocentric model of Copernicus , Galileo and Kepler . There was much resistance to the transition between these two theories . Christian theologians were reluctant to reject a theory that agreed with Bible passages ( e.g. `` Sun , stand you still upon Gibeon '' , Joshua 10 : 12 ) .

On the left , daytime in summer ; on the right , nighttime in winter . The geocentric model entered Greek astronomy and philosophy at an early point ; it can be found in pre-Socratic philosophy . In the 6th century BC , Anaximander proposed a cosmology with Earth shaped like a section of a pillar ( a cylinder ) , held aloft at the center of everything . The Sun , Moon , and planets were holes in invisible wheels surrounding Earth ; through the holes , humans could see concealed fire . About the same time , Pythagoras thought that the Earth was a sphere ( in accordance with observations of eclipses ) , but not at the center ; they believed that it was in motion around an unseen fire . Later these views were combined , so most educated Greeks from the 4th century BC on thought that the Earth was a sphere at the center of the universe . In the 4th century BC , two influential Greek philosophers , Plato and his student Aristotle , wrote works based on the geocentric model .", "2": "According to Plato , the Earth was a sphere , stationary at the center of the universe . The stars and planets were carried around the Earth on spheres or circles , arranged in the order ( outwards from the center ) : Moon , Sun , Venus , Mercury , Mars , Jupiter , Saturn , fixed stars , with the fixed stars located on the celestial sphere . In his `` Myth of Er '' , a section of the Republic , Plato describes the cosmos as the Spindle of Necessity , attended by the Sirens and turned by the three Fates . Eudoxus of Cnidus , who worked with Plato , developed a less mythical , more mathematical explanation of the planets ' motion based on Plato 's dictum stating that all phenomena in the heavens can be explained with uniform circular motion . Aristotle elaborated on Eudoxus ' system . In the fully developed Aristotelian system , the spherical Earth is at the center of the universe , and all other heavenly bodies are attached to 47 -- 55 transparent , rotating spheres surrounding the Earth , all concentric with it . ( The number is so high because several spheres are needed for each planet . ) These spheres , known as crystalline spheres , all moved at different uniform speeds to create the revolution of bodies around the Earth . They were composed of an incorruptible substance called aether . Aristotle believed that the moon was in the innermost sphere and therefore touches the realm of Earth , causing the dark spots ( macula ) and the ability to go through lunar phases . He further described his system by explaining the natural tendencies of the terrestrial elements : Earth , water , fire , air , as well as celestial aether . His system held that Earth was the heaviest element , with the strongest movement towards the center , thus water formed a layer surrounding the sphere of Earth . The tendency of air and fire , on the other hand , was to move upwards , away from the center , with fire being lighter than air . Beyond the layer of fire , were the solid spheres of aether in which the celestial bodies were embedded . They , themselves , were also entirely composed of aether . Adherence to the geocentric model stemmed largely from several important observations . First of all , if the Earth did move , then one ought to be able to observe the shifting of the fixed stars due to stellar parallax .", "3": "In short , if the Earth was moving , the shapes of the constellations should change considerably over the course of a year . If they did not appear to move , the stars are either much farther away than the Sun and the planets than previously conceived , making their motion undetectable , or in reality they are not moving at all . Because the stars were actually much further away than Greek astronomers postulated ( making movement extremely subtle ) , stellar parallax was not detected until the 19th century . Therefore , the Greeks chose the simpler of the two explanations . The lack of any observable parallax was considered a fatal flaw in any non-geocentric theory . Another observation used in favor of the geocentric model at the time was the apparent consistency of Venus ' luminosity , which implies that it is usually about the same distance from Earth , which in turn is more consistent with geocentrism than heliocentrism . In reality , that is because the loss of light caused by Venus ' phases compensates for the increase in apparent size caused by its varying distance from Earth . Objectors to heliocentrism noted that terrestrial bodies naturally tend to come to rest as near as possible to the center of the Earth . Further barring the opportunity to fall closer the center , terrestrial bodies tend not to move unless forced by an outside object , or transformed to a different element by heat or moisture . Atmospheric explanations for many phenomena were preferred because the Eudoxan -- Aristotelian model based on perfectly concentric spheres was not intended to explain changes in the brightness of the planets due to a change in distance . Eventually , perfectly concentric spheres were abandoned as it was impossible to develop a sufficiently accurate model under that ideal . However , while providing for similar explanations , the later deferent and epicycle model was flexible enough to accommodate observations for many centuries . Ptolemaic model ( edit ) The basic elements of Ptolemaic astronomy , showing a planet on an epicycle with an eccentric deferent and an equant point . The Green shaded area is the celestial sphere which the planet occupies . Although the basic tenets of Greek geocentrism were established by the time of Aristotle , the details of his system did not become standard .", "4": "The Ptolemaic system , developed by the Hellenistic astronomer Claudius Ptolemaeus in the 2nd century AD finally standardised geocentrism . His main astronomical work , the Almagest , was the culmination of centuries of work by Hellenic , Hellenistic and Babylonian astronomers . For over a millennium European and Islamic astronomers assumed it was the correct cosmological model . Because of its influence , people sometimes wrongly think the Ptolemaic system is identical with the geocentric model . Ptolemy argued that the Earth was a sphere in the center of the universe , from the simple observation that half the stars were above the horizon and half were below the horizon at any time ( stars on rotating stellar sphere ) , and the assumption that the stars were all at some modest distance from the center of the universe . If the Earth was substantially displaced from the center , this division into visible and invisible stars would not be equal . Ptolemaic system ( edit ) Pages from 1550 Annotazione on Sacrobosco 's Tractatus de Sphaera , showing the Ptolemaic system . In the Ptolemaic system , each planet is moved by a system of two spheres : one called its deferent ; the other , its epicycle . The deferent is a circle whose center point , called the eccentric and marked in the diagram with an X , is removed from the Earth . The original purpose of the eccentric was to account for the differences of the lengths of the seasons ( autumn is the shortest by a week or so ) , by placing the Earth away from the center of rotation of the rest of the universe . Another sphere , the epicycle , is embedded inside the deferent sphere and is represented by the smaller dotted line to the right . A given planet then moves around the epicycle at the same time the epicycle moves along the path marked by the deferent . These combined movements cause the given planet to move closer to and further away from the Earth at different points in its orbit , and explained the observation that planets slowed down , stopped , and moved backward in retrograde motion , and then again reversed to resume normal , or prograde , motion .", "5": "The deferent - and - epicycle model had been used by Greek astronomers for centuries along with the idea of the eccentric ( a deferent which is slightly off - center from the Earth ) , which was even older . In the illustration , the center of the deferent is not the Earth but the spot marked X , making it eccentric ( from the Greek ἐκ ec - meaning `` from , '' and κέντρον kentron meaning `` center '' ) , from which the spot takes its name . Unfortunately , the system that was available in Ptolemy 's time did not quite match observations , even though it was considerably improved over Hipparchus ' system . Most noticeably the size of a planet 's retrograde loop ( especially that of Mars ) would be smaller , and sometimes larger , than expected , resulting in positional errors of as much as 30 degrees . To alleviate the problem , Ptolemy developed the equant . The equant was a point near the center of a planet 's orbit which , if you were to stand there and watch , the center of the planet 's epicycle would always appear to move at uniform speed ; all other locations would see non-uniform speed , like on the Earth . By using an equant , Ptolemy claimed to keep motion which was uniform and circular , although it departed from the Platonic ideal of uniform circular motion . The resultant system , which eventually came to be widely accepted in the west , seems unwieldy to modern astronomers ; each planet required an epicycle revolving on a deferent , offset by an equant which was different for each planet . It predicted various celestial motions , including the beginning and end of retrograde motion , to within a maximum error of 10 degrees , considerably better than without the equant . The model with epicycles is in fact a very good model of an elliptical orbit with low eccentricity . The well known ellipse shape does not appear to a noticeable extent when the eccentricity is less than 5 % , but the offset distance of the `` center '' ( in fact the focus occupied by the sun ) is very noticeable even with low eccentricities as possessed by the planets .", "6": "To summarize , Ptolemy devised a system that was compatible with Aristotelian philosophy and managed to track actual observations and predict future movement mostly to within the limits of the next 1000 years of observations . The observed motions and his mechanisms for explaining them include : The Ptolemaic System Object ( s ) Observation Modeling mechanism Stars Motion of entire sky E to W in ~ 24 hrs ( `` first motion '' ) Stars : Daily motion E to W of sphere of stars , carrying all other spheres with it ; normally ignored ; other spheres have additional motions Sun Motion yearly W to E along ecliptic Motion of Sun 's sphere W to E in year Sun Non-uniform rate along ecliptic ( uneven seasons ) Eccentric orbit ( Sun 's deferent center off Earth ) Moon Monthly motion W to E compared to stars Monthly W to E motion of Moon 's sphere The 5 planets General motion W to E through zodiac Motion of deferents W to E ; period set by observation of planet going around the ecliptic Planets Retrograde motion Motion of epicycle in same direction as deferent . Period of epicycle is time between retrograde motions ( synodic period ) . Planets Variations in speed through the zodiac Eccentric per planet Planets Variations in retrograde timing Equants per planet ( Copernicus used a pair of epicycles instead ) Planets Size of deferents , epicycles Only ratio between radius of deferent and associated epicycle determined ; absolute distances not determined in theory Interior planets Average greatest elongations of 23 ° ( Mercury ) and 46 ° ( Venus ) Size of epicycles set by these angles , proportional to distances Interior planets Limited to movement near the Sun Center their deferent centers along the Sun -- Earth line Exterior planets Retrograde only at opposition , when brightest Radii of epicycles aligned to Sun -- Earth line The geocentric model was eventually replaced by the heliocentric model . The earliest heliocentric model , Copernican heliocentrism , could remove Ptolemy 's epicycles because the retrograde motion could be seen to be the result of the combination of Earth and planet movement and speeds .", "7": "Copernicus felt strongly that equants were a violation of Aristotelian purity , and proved that replacement of the equant with a pair of new epicycles was entirely equivalent . Astronomers often continued using the equants instead of the epicycles because the former was easier to calculate , and gave the same result . It has been determined , in fact , that the Copernican , Ptolemaic and even the Tychonic models provided identical results to identical inputs . They are computationally equivalent . It was n't until Kepler demonstrated a physical observation that could show that the physical sun is directly involved in determining an orbit that a new model was required . The Ptolemaic order of spheres from Earth outward is : Moon Mercury Venus Sun Mars Jupiter Saturn Fixed Stars Primum Mobile ( `` First Moved '' ) Ptolemy did not invent or work out this order , which aligns with the ancient Seven Heavens religious cosmology common to the major Eurasian religious traditions . It also follows the decreasing orbital periods of the moon , sun , planets and stars . Islamic astronomy and geocentrism ( edit ) Main articles : Maragheh observatory , Astronomy in medieval Islam , and Islamic cosmology Muslim astronomers generally accepted the Ptolemaic system and the geocentric model , but by the 10th century texts appeared regularly whose subject matter was doubts concerning Ptolemy ( shukūk ) . Several Muslim scholars questioned the Earth 's apparent immobility and centrality within the universe . Some Muslim astronomers believed that the Earth rotates around its axis , such as Abu Sa'id al - Sijzi ( d. circa 1020 ) . According to al - Biruni , Sijzi invented an astrolabe called al - zūraqī based on a belief held by some of his contemporaries `` that the motion we see is due to the Earth 's movement and not to that of the sky . '' The prevalence of this view is further confirmed by a reference from the 13th century which states : According to the geometers ( or engineers ) ( muhandisīn ) , the Earth is in constant circular motion , and what appears to be the motion of the heavens is actually due to the motion of the Earth and not the stars .", "8": "Early in the 11th century Alhazen wrote a scathing critique of Ptolemy 's model in his Doubts on Ptolemy ( c. 1028 ) , which some have interpreted to imply he was criticizing Ptolemy 's geocentrism , but most agree that he was actually criticizing the details of Ptolemy 's model rather than his geocentrism . In the 12th century , Arzachel departed from the ancient Greek idea of uniform circular motions by hypothesizing that the planet Mercury moves in an elliptic orbit , while Alpetragius proposed a planetary model that abandoned the equant , epicycle and eccentric mechanisms , though this resulted in a system that was mathematically less accurate . Alpetragius also declared the Ptolemaic system as an imaginary model that was successful at predicting planetary positions but not real or physical . His alternative system spread through most of Europe during the 13th century . Fakhr al - Din al - Razi ( 1149 -- 1209 ) , in dealing with his conception of physics and the physical world in his Matalib , rejects the Aristotelian and Avicennian notion of the Earth 's centrality within the universe , but instead argues that there are `` a thousand thousand worlds ( alfa alfi ' awalim ) beyond this world such that each one of those worlds be bigger and more massive than this world as well as having the like of what this world has . '' To support his theological argument , he cites the Qur'anic verse , `` All praise belongs to God , Lord of the Worlds , '' emphasizing the term `` Worlds . '' The `` Maragha Revolution '' refers to the Maragha school 's revolution against Ptolemaic astronomy . The `` Maragha school '' was an astronomical tradition beginning in the Maragha observatory and continuing with astronomers from the Damascus mosque and Samarkand observatory . Like their Andalusian predecessors , the Maragha astronomers attempted to solve the equant problem ( the circle around whose circumference a planet or the center of an epicycle was conceived to move uniformly ) and produce alternative configurations to the Ptolemaic model without abandoning geocentrism .", "9": "They were more successful than their Andalusian predecessors in producing non-Ptolemaic configurations which eliminated the equant and eccentrics , were more accurate than the Ptolemaic model in numerically predicting planetary positions , and were in better agreement with empirical observations . The most important of the Maragha astronomers included Mo'ayyeduddin Urdi ( d . 1266 ) , Nasīr al - Dīn al - Tūsī ( 1201 -- 1274 ) , Qutb al - Din al - Shirazi ( 1236 -- 1311 ) , Ibn al - Shatir ( 1304 -- 1375 ) , Ali Qushji ( c. 1474 ) , Al - Birjandi ( d . 1525 ) , and Shams al - Din al - Khafri ( d . 1550 ) . Ibn al - Shatir , the Damascene astronomer ( 1304 -- 1375 AD ) working at the Umayyad Mosque , wrote a major book entitled Kitab Nihayat al - Sul fi Tashih al - Usul ( A Final Inquiry Concerning the Rectification of Planetary Theory ) on a theory which departs largely from the Ptolemaic system known at that time . In his book , Ibn al - Shatir , an Arab astronomer of the fourteenth century , E.S. Kennedy wrote `` what is of most interest , however , is that Ibn al - Shatir 's lunar theory , except for trivial differences in parameters , is identical with that of Copernicus ( 1473 -- 1543 AD ) . '' The discovery that the models of Ibn al - Shatir are mathematically identical to those of Copernicus suggests the possible transmission of these models to Europe . At the Maragha and Samarkand observatories , the Earth 's rotation was discussed by al - Tusi and Ali Qushji ( b . 1403 ) ; the arguments and evidence they used resemble those used by Copernicus to support the Earth 's motion . However , the Maragha school never made the paradigm shift to heliocentrism . The influence of the Maragha school on Copernicus remains speculative , since there is no documentary evidence to prove it .", "10": "The possibility that Copernicus independently developed the Tusi couple remains open , since no researcher has yet demonstrated that he knew about Tusi 's work or that of the Maragha school . Geocentrism and rival systems ( edit ) The examples and perspective in this article may not include all significant viewpoints . Please improve the article or discuss the issue . ( June 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) This drawing from an Icelandic manuscript dated around 1750 illustrates the geocentric model . Not all Greeks agreed with the geocentric model . The Pythagorean system has already been mentioned ; some Pythagoreans believed the Earth to be one of several planets going around a central fire . Hicetas and Ecphantus , two Pythagoreans of the 5th century BC , and Heraclides Ponticus in the 4th century BC , believed that the Earth rotated on its axis but remained at the center of the universe . Such a system still qualifies as geocentric . It was revived in the Middle Ages by Jean Buridan . Heraclides Ponticus was once thought to have proposed that both Venus and Mercury went around the Sun rather than the Earth , but this is no longer accepted . Martianus Capella definitely put Mercury and Venus in orbit around the Sun . Aristarchus of Samos was the most radical . He wrote a work , which has not survived , on heliocentrism , saying that the Sun was at the center of the universe , while the Earth and other planets revolved around it . His theory was not popular , and he had one named follower , Seleucus of Seleucia . Copernican system ( edit ) Main article : Copernican heliocentrism In 1543 , the geocentric system met its first serious challenge with the publication of Copernicus ' De revolutionibus orbium coelestium ( On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres ) , which posited that the Earth and the other planets instead revolved around the Sun . The geocentric system was still held for many years afterwards , as at the time the Copernican system did not offer better predictions than the geocentric system , and it posed problems for both natural philosophy and scripture .", "11": "The Copernican system was no more accurate than Ptolemy 's system , because it still used circular orbits . This was not altered until Johannes Kepler postulated that they were elliptical ( Kepler 's first law of planetary motion ) . With the invention of the telescope in 1609 , observations made by Galileo Galilei ( such as that Jupiter has moons ) called into question some of the tenets of geocentrism but did not seriously threaten it . Because he observed dark `` spots '' on the moon , craters , he remarked that the moon was not a perfect celestial body as had been previously conceived . This was the first time someone could see imperfections on a celestial body that was supposed to be composed of perfect aether . As such , because the moon 's imperfections could now be related to those seen on Earth , one could argue that neither was unique : rather , they were both just celestial bodies made from Earth - like material . Galileo could also see the moons of Jupiter , which he dedicated to Cosimo II de ' Medici , and stated that they orbited around Jupiter , not Earth . This was a significant claim as it would mean not only that not everything revolved around Earth as stated in the Ptolemaic model , but also showed a secondary celestial body could orbit a moving celestial body , strengthening the heliocentric argument that a moving Earth could retain the Moon . Galileo 's observations were verified by other astronomers of the time period who quickly adopted use of the telescope , including Christoph Scheiner , Johannes Kepler , and Giovan Paulo Lembo . Phases of Venus In December 1610 , Galileo Galilei used his telescope to observe that Venus showed all phases , just like the Moon . He thought that while this observation was incompatible with the Ptolemaic system , it was a natural consequence of the heliocentric system . However , Ptolemy placed Venus ' deferent and epicycle entirely inside the sphere of the Sun ( between the Sun and Mercury ) , but this was arbitrary ; he could just as easily have swapped Venus and Mercury and put them on the other side of the Sun , or made any other arrangement of Venus and Mercury , as long as they were always near a line running from the Earth through the Sun , such as placing the center of the Venus epicycle near the Sun .", "12": "In this case , if the Sun is the source of all the light , under the Ptolemaic system : If Venus is between Earth and the Sun , the phase of Venus must always be crescent or all dark . If Venus is beyond the Sun , the phase of Venus must always be gibbous or full . But Galileo saw Venus at first small and full , and later large and crescent . In this depiction of the Tychonic system , the objects on blue orbits ( the moon and the sun ) revolve around the Earth . The objects on orange orbits ( Mercury , Venus , Mars , Jupiter , and Saturn ) revolve around the sun . Around all is a sphere of stars , which rotates . This showed that with a Ptolemaic cosmology , the Venus epicycle can be neither completely inside nor completely outside of the orbit of the Sun . As a result , Ptolemaics abandoned the idea that the epicycle of Venus was completely inside the Sun , and later 17th century competition between astronomical cosmologies focused on variations of Tycho Brahe 's Tychonic system ( in which the Earth was still at the center of the universe , and around it revolved the Sun , but all other planets revolved around the Sun in one massive set of epicycles ) , or variations on the Copernican system . Gravitation ( edit ) Johannes Kepler analysed Tycho Brahe 's famously accurate observations and afterwards constructed his three laws in 1609 and 1619 , based on a heliocentric view where the planets move in elliptical paths . Using these laws , he was the first astronomer to successfully predict a transit of Venus ( for the year 1631 ) . The change from circular orbits to elliptical planetary paths dramatically improved the accuracy of celestial observations and predictions . Because the heliocentric model by Copernicus was no more accurate than Ptolemy 's system , new observations were needed to persuade those who still held on to the geocentric model . However , Kepler 's laws based on Brahe 's data became a problem which geocentrists could not easily overcome . In 1687 , Isaac Newton stated the law of universal gravitation , described earlier as a hypothesis by Robert Hooke and others .", "13": "His main achievement was to mathematically derive Kepler 's laws of planetary motion from the law of gravitation , thus helping to prove the latter . This introduced gravitation as the force that both kept the Earth and planets moving through the heavens and also kept the air from flying away . The theory of gravity allowed scientists to construct a plausible heliocentric model for the solar system quickly . In his Principia , Newton explained his system of how gravity , previously thought of as an occult force ( that is , an unexplained force ) , directed the movements of celestial bodies , and kept our solar system in its working order . His descriptions of centripetal force were a breakthrough in scientific thought which used the newly developed differential calculus , and finally replaced the previous schools of scientific thought , i.e. those of Aristotle and Ptolemy . However , the process was gradual . Several empirical tests of Newton 's theory , explaining the longer period of oscillation of a pendulum at the equator and the differing size of a degree of latitude , gradually became available over the period 1673 -- 1738 . In addition , stellar aberration was observed by Robert Hooke in 1674 and tested in a series of observations by Jean Picard over ten years finishing in 1680 . However , it was not explained until 1729 when James Bradley provided an approximate explanation in terms of the Earth 's revolution about the sun . In 1838 , astronomer Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel measured the parallax of the star 61 Cygni successfully , and disproved Ptolemy 's claim that parallax motion did not exist . This finally confirmed the assumptions made by Copernicus , provided accurate , dependable scientific observations , and displayed truly how far away stars were from Earth . A geocentric frame is useful for many everyday activities and most laboratory experiments , but is a less appropriate choice for solar - system mechanics and space travel . While a heliocentric frame is most useful in those cases , galactic and extra-galactic astronomy is easier if the sun is treated as neither stationary nor the center of the universe , but rotating around the center of our galaxy , and in turn our galaxy is also not at rest in the cosmic background .", "14": "Relativity ( edit ) Albert Einstein and Leopold Infeld wrote in The Evolution of Physics ( 1938 ) : `` Can we formulate physical laws so that they are valid for all CS ( = coordinate systems ) , not only those moving uniformly , but also those moving quite arbitrarily , relative to each other ? If this can be done , our difficulties will be over . We shall then be able to apply the laws of nature to any CS . The struggle , so violent in the early days of science , between the views of Ptolemy and Copernicus would then be quite meaningless . Either CS could be used with equal justification . The two sentences , ' the sun is at rest and the Earth moves ' , or ' the sun moves and the Earth is at rest ' , would simply mean two different conventions concerning two different CS . Could we build a real relativistic physics valid in all CS ; a physics in which there would be no place for absolute , but only for relative , motion ? This is indeed possible ! '' Despite giving more respectability to the geocentric view than Newtonian physics does , relativity is not geocentric . Rather , relativity states that the Sun , the Earth , the Moon , Jupiter , or any other point for that matter could be chosen as a center of the solar system with equal validity . For this reason Robert Sungenis , a modern geocentrist , spent much of Volume I of his book Galileo Was Wrong : The Church Was Right critiquing and trying to unravel the Special and General theories of Relativity . Relativity agrees with Newtonian predictions that regardless of whether the Sun or the Earth are chosen arbitrarily as the center of the coordinate system describing the solar system , the paths of the planets form ( roughly ) ellipses with respect to the Sun , not the Earth . With respect to the average reference frame of the fixed stars , the planets do indeed move around the Sun , which due to its much larger mass , moves far less than its own diameter and the gravity of which is dominant in determining the orbits of the planets . ( In other words , the center of mass of the solar system is near the center of the Sun . )", "15": "The Earth and Moon are much closer to being a binary planet ; the center of mass around which they both rotate is still inside the Earth , but is about 4,624 km ( 2,873 mi ) or 72.6 % of the Earth 's radius away from the centre of the Earth ( thus closer to the surface than the center ) . What the principle of relativity points out is that correct mathematical calculations can be made regardless of the reference frame chosen , and these will all agree with each other as to the predictions of actual motions of bodies with respect to each other . It is not necessary to choose the object in the solar system with the largest gravitational field as the center of the coordinate system in order to predict the motions of planetary bodies , though doing so may make calculations easier to perform or interpret . A geocentric coordinate system can be more convenient when dealing only with bodies mostly influenced by the gravity of the Earth ( such as artificial satellites and the Moon ) , or when calculating what the sky will look like when viewed from Earth ( as opposed to an imaginary observer looking down on the entire solar system , where a different coordinate system might be more convenient ) . Religious and contemporary adherence to geocentrism ( edit ) Map of the Square and Stationary Earth , by Orlando Ferguson ( 1893 ) The Ptolemaic model of the solar system held sway into the early modern age ; from the late 16th century onward it was gradually replaced as the consensus description by the heliocentric model . Geocentrism as a separate religious belief , however , never completely died out . In the United States between 1870 and 1920 , for example , various members of the Lutheran Church -- Missouri Synod published articles disparaging Copernican astronomy , and geocentrism was widely taught within the synod during that period . However , in the 1902 Theological Quarterly , A.L. Graebner claimed that the synod had no doctrinal position on geocentrism , heliocentrism , or any scientific model , unless it were to contradict Scripture . He stated that any possible declarations of geocentrists within the synod did not set the position of the church body as a whole .", "16": "Articles arguing that geocentrism was the biblical perspective appeared in some early creation science newsletters pointing to some passages in the Bible , which , when taken literally , indicate that the daily apparent motions of the Sun and the Moon are due to their actual motions around the Earth rather than due to the rotation of the Earth about its axis . For example , in Joshua 10 : 12 , the Sun and Moon are said to stop in the sky , and in Psalms the world is described as immobile . Psalms 93 : 1 says in part `` the world is established , firm and secure '' . ) Contemporary advocates for such religious beliefs include Robert Sungenis ( president of Bellarmine Theological Forum and author of the 2006 book Galileo Was Wrong ) . These people subscribe to the view that a plain reading of the Bible contains an accurate account of the manner in which the universe was created and requires a geocentric worldview . Modern geocentrism has been called pseudoscientific , and most contemporary creationist organizations reject such perspectives . After all , Copernicanism was the first major victory of science over religion , so it 's inevitable that some folks would think that everything that 's wrong with the world began there . -- Steven Dutch of the University of Wisconsin -- Madison Morris Berman quotes a 2006 survey that show currently some 20 % of the U.S. population believe that the sun goes around the Earth ( geocentricism ) rather than the Earth goes around the sun ( heliocentricism ) , while a further 9 % claimed not to know . Polls conducted by Gallup in the 1990s found that 16 % of Germans , 18 % of Americans and 19 % of Britons hold that the Sun revolves around the Earth . A study conducted in 2005 by Jon D. Miller of Northwestern University , an expert in the public understanding of science and technology , found that about 20 % , or one in five , of American adults believe that the Sun orbits the Earth . According to 2011 VTSIOM poll , 32 % of Russians believe that the Sun orbits the Earth . Historical positions of the Roman Catholic hierarchy ( edit ) The famous Galileo affair pitted the geocentric model against the claims of Galileo .", "17": "In regards to the theological basis for such an argument , two Popes addressed the question of whether the use of phenomenological language would compel one to admit an error in Scripture . Both taught that it would not . Pope Leo XIII ( 1878 -- 1903 ) wrote : we have to contend against those who , making an evil use of physical science , minutely scrutinize the Sacred Book in order to detect the writers in a mistake , and to take occasion to vilify its contents ... There can never , indeed , be any real discrepancy between the theologian and the physicist , as long as each confines himself within his own lines , and both are careful , as St. Augustine warns us , `` not to make rash assertions , or to assert what is not known as known '' . If dissension should arise between them , here is the rule also laid down by St. Augustine , for the theologian : `` Whatever they can really demonstrate to be true of physical nature , we must show to be capable of reconciliation with our Scriptures ; and whatever they assert in their treatises which is contrary to these Scriptures of ours , that is to Catholic faith , we must either prove it as well as we can to be entirely false , or at all events we must , without the smallest hesitation , believe it to be so . '' To understand how just is the rule here formulated we must remember , first , that the sacred writers , or to speak more accurately , the Holy Ghost `` Who spoke by them , did not intend to teach men these things ( that is to say , the essential nature of the things of the visible universe ) , things in no way profitable unto salvation . '' Hence they did not seek to penetrate the secrets of nature , but rather described and dealt with things in more or less figurative language , or in terms which were commonly used at the time , and which in many instances are in daily use at this day , even by the most eminent men of science . Ordinary speech primarily and properly describes what comes under the senses ; and somewhat in the same way the sacred writers - as the Angelic Doctor also reminds us -- `` went by what sensibly appeared '' , or put down what God , speaking to men , signified , in the way men could understand and were accustomed to .", "18": "-- Providentissimus Deus 18 Maurice Finocchiaro , author of a book on the Galileo affair , notes that this is `` a view of the relationship between biblical interpretation and scientific investigation that corresponds to the one advanced by Galileo in the `` Letter to the Grand Duchess Christina '' . Pope Pius XII ( 1939 -- 1958 ) repeated his predecessor 's teaching : The first and greatest care of Leo XIII was to set forth the teaching on the truth of the Sacred Books and to defend it from attack . Hence with grave words did he proclaim that there is no error whatsoever if the sacred writer , speaking of things of the physical order `` went by what sensibly appeared '' as the Angelic Doctor says , speaking either `` in figurative language , or in terms which were commonly used at the time , and which in many instances are in daily use at this day , even among the most eminent men of science '' . For `` the sacred writers , or to speak more accurately -- the words are St. Augustine 's -- the Holy Spirit , Who spoke by them , did not intend to teach men these things -- that is the essential nature of the things of the universe -- things in no way profitable to salvation '' ; which principle `` will apply to cognate sciences , and especially to history '' , that is , by refuting , `` in a somewhat similar way the fallacies of the adversaries and defending the historical truth of Sacred Scripture from their attacks '' . -- Divino afflante Spiritu , 3 In 1664 , Pope Alexander VII republished the Index Librorum Prohibitorum ( List of Prohibited Books ) and attached the various decrees connected with those books , including those concerned with heliocentrism . He stated in a Papal Bull that his purpose in doing so was that `` the succession of things done from the beginning might be made known ( quo rei ab initio gestae series innotescat ) '' . The position of the curia evolved slowly over the centuries towards permitting the heliocentric view . In 1757 , during the papacy of Benedict XIV , the Congregation of the Index withdrew the decree which prohibited all books teaching the Earth 's motion , although the Dialogue and a few other books continued to be explicitly included .", "19": "In 1820 , the Congregation of the Holy Office , with the pope 's approval , decreed that Catholic astronomer Giuseppe Settele was allowed to treat the Earth 's motion as an established fact and removed any obstacle for Catholics to hold to the motion of the Earth : The Assessor of the Holy Office has referred the request of Giuseppe Settele , Professor of Optics and Astronomy at La Sapienza University , regarding permission to publish his work Elements of Astronomy in which he espouses the common opinion of the astronomers of our time regarding the Earth 's daily and yearly motions , to His Holiness through Divine Providence , Pope Pius VII . Previously , His Holiness had referred this request to the Supreme Sacred Congregation and concurrently to the consideration of the Most Eminent and Most Reverend General Cardinal Inquisitor . His Holiness has decreed that no obstacles exist for those who sustain Copernicus ' affirmation regarding the Earth 's movement in the manner in which it is affirmed today , even by Catholic authors . He has , moreover , suggested the insertion of several notations into this work , aimed at demonstrating that the above mentioned affirmation ( of Copernicus ) , as it has come to be understood , does not present any difficulties ; difficulties that existed in times past , prior to the subsequent astronomical observations that have now occurred . ( Pope Pius VII ) has also recommended that the implementation ( of these decisions ) be given to the Cardinal Secretary of the Supreme Sacred Congregation and Master of the Sacred Apostolic Palace . He is now appointed the task of bringing to an end any concerns and criticisms regarding the printing of this book , and , at the same time , ensuring that in the future , regarding the publication of such works , permission is sought from the Cardinal Vicar whose signature will not be given without the authorization of the Superior of his Order .", "20": "In 1822 , the Congregation of the Holy Office removed the prohibition on the publication of books treating of the Earth 's motion in accordance with modern astronomy and Pope Pius VII ratified the decision : The most excellent ( cardinals ) have decreed that there must be no denial , by the present or by future Masters of the Sacred Apostolic Palace , of permission to print and to publish works which treat of the mobility of the Earth and of the immobility of the sun , according to the common opinion of modern astronomers , as long as there are no other contrary indications , on the basis of the decrees of the Sacred Congregation of the Index of 1757 and of this Supreme ( Holy Office ) of 1820 ; and that those who would show themselves to be reluctant or would disobey , should be forced under punishments at the choice of ( this ) Sacred Congregation , with derogation of ( their ) claimed privileges , where necessary . The 1835 edition of the Catholic Index of Prohibited Books for the first time omits the Dialogue from the list . In his 1921 papal encyclical , In praeclara summorum , Pope Benedict XV stated that , `` though this Earth on which we live may not be the center of the universe as at one time was thought , it was the scene of the original happiness of our first ancestors , witness of their unhappy fall , as too of the Redemption of mankind through the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ '' . In 1965 the Second Vatican Council stated that , `` Consequently , we can not but deplore certain habits of mind , which are sometimes found too among Christians , which do not sufficiently attend to the rightful independence of science and which , from the arguments and controversies they spark , lead many minds to conclude that faith and science are mutually opposed . '' The footnote on this statement is to Msgr . Pio Paschini 's , Vita e opere di Galileo Galilei , 2 volumes , Vatican Press ( 1964 ) . Pope John Paul II regretted the treatment which Galileo received , in a speech to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences in 1992 . The Pope declared the incident to be based on a `` tragic mutual miscomprehension '' .", "21": "He further stated : Cardinal Poupard has also reminded us that the sentence of 1633 was not irreformable , and that the debate which had not ceased to evolve thereafter , was closed in 1820 with the imprimatur given to the work of Canon Settele ... The error of the theologians of the time , when they maintained the centrality of the Earth , was to think that our understanding of the physical world 's structure was , in some way , imposed by the literal sense of Sacred Scripture . Let us recall the celebrated saying attributed to Baronius `` Spiritui Sancto mentem fuisse nos docere quomodo ad coelum eatur , non quomodo coelum gradiatur '' . In fact , the Bible does not concern itself with the details of the physical world , the understanding of which is the competence of human experience and reasoning . There exist two realms of knowledge , one which has its source in Revelation and one which reason can discover by its own power . To the latter belong especially the experimental sciences and philosophy . The distinction between the two realms of knowledge ought not to be understood as opposition . Orthodox Judaism ( edit ) A few Orthodox Jewish leaders maintain a geocentric model of the universe based on the aforementioned Biblical verses and an interpretation of Maimonides to the effect that he ruled that the Earth is orbited by the sun . The Lubavitcher Rebbe also explained that geocentrism is defensible based on the theory of Relativity , which establishes that `` when two bodies in space are in motion relative to one another , ... science declares with absolute certainty that from the scientific point of view both possibilities are equally valid , namely that the Earth revolves around the sun , or the sun revolves around the Earth '' , although he also went on to refer to people who believed in geocentrism as `` remaining in the world of Copernicus '' . The Zohar implies : `` The entire world and those upon it , spin round in a circle like a ball '' , both those at the bottom of the ball and those at the top . All God 's creatures , wherever they live on the different parts of the ball , look different ( in color , in their features ) because the air is different in each place , but they stand erect as all other human beings .", "22": "Therefore , there are places in the world where , when some have light , others have darkness ; when some have day , others have night . While geocentrism is important in Maimonides ' calendar calculations , the great majority of Jewish religious scholars , who accept the divinity of the Bible and accept many of his rulings as legally binding , do not believe that the Bible or Maimonides command a belief in geocentrism . Islam ( edit ) Prominent cases of modern geocentrism in Islam are very isolated . Very few individuals promoted a geocentric view of the universe . One of them was Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi , a Sunni scholar of Indian subcontinent . He rejected the heliocentric model and wrote a book that explains the movement of sun , moon and other planets around the Earth . The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia from 1993 to 1999 , Ibn Baz also promoted the geocentric view between 1966 and 1985 . Planetariums ( edit ) The geocentric ( Ptolemaic ) model of the solar system is still of interest to planetarium makers , as , for technical reasons , a Ptolemaic - type motion for the planet light apparatus has some advantages over a Copernican - type motion . The celestial sphere , still used for teaching purposes and sometimes for navigation , is also based on a geocentric system which in effect ignores parallax . However this effect is negligible at the scale of accuracy that applies to a planetarium .

A good idea of the similarly primitive state of Hebrew astronomy can be gained from Biblical writings , such as the Genesis creation story and the various Psalms that extol the firmament , the stars , the sun , and the earth . The Hebrews saw the earth as an almost flat surface consisting of a solid and a liquid part , and the sky as the realm of light in which heavenly bodies move .", "23": "The earth rested on cornerstones and could not be moved except by Jehovah ( as in an earthquake ) . According to the Hebrews , the sun and the moon were only a short distance from one another Jump up ^ The picture of the universe in Talmudic texts has the Earth in the center of creation with heaven as a hemisphere spread over it . The Earth is usually described as a disk encircled by water . Interestingly , cosmological and metaphysical speculations were not to be cultivated in public nor were they to be committed to writing . Rather , they were considered as `` secrets of the Torah not to be passed on to all and sundry '' ( Ketubot 112a ) . While study of God 's creation was not prohibited , speculations about `` what is above , what is beneath , what is before , and what is after '' ( Mishnah Hagigah : 2 ) were restricted to the intellectual elite . Jump up ^ `` firmament -- The division made by God , according to the P account of creation , to restrain the cosmic water and form the sky ( Genesis 1 : 6 -- 8 ) . Hebrew cosmology pictured a flat earth , over which was a dome - shaped firmament , supported above the earth by mountains , and surrounded by waters . Holes or sluices ( windows , Gen. 7 : 11 ) allowed the water to fall as rain . The firmament was the heavens in which God set the sun ( Psalms 19 : 4 ) and the stars ( Genesis 1 : 4 ) on the fourth day of the creation . There was more water under the earth ( Genesis 1 : 7 ) and during the Flood the two great oceans joined up and covered the earth ; sheol was at the bottom of the earth ( Isa. 14 : 9 ; Num. 16 : 30 ) . '' Jump up ^ The cosmographical structure assumed by this text is the ancient , traditional flat earth model that was common throughout the Near East and that persisted in Jewish tradition because of its place in the religiously authoritative biblical materials . Jump up ^ `` The term `` firmament '' ( רקיע - rāqîa ' ) denotes the atmosphere between the heavenly realm and the earth ( Gen.", "24": "1 : 6 -- 7 , 20 ) where the celestial bodies move ( Gen. 1 : 14 -- 17 ) . It can also be used as a synonym for `` heaven '' ( Gen. 1 : 8 ; Ps. 19 : 2 ) . This `` firmament is part of the heavenly structure whether it is the equivalent of ' heaven / sky ' or is what separates it from the earth ... The ancient Israelites also used more descriptive terms for how God created the celestial realm , and based on the collection of these more specific and illustrative terms , I would propose that they had two basic ideas of the composition of the heavenly realm . First is the idea that the heavenly realm was imagined as a vast cosmic canopy . The verb used to describe metaphorically how God stretched out this canopy over earth is הטנ ( nātāh ) ' stretch out ' , or ' spread ' . ' I made the earth , and created humankind upon it ; it was my hands that stretched out the heavens , and I commanded all their host ( Isa. 45 : 12 ) . ' In the Bible this verb is used to describe the stretching out ( pitching ) of a tent . Since the texts that mention the stretching out of the sky are typically drawing on creation imagery , it seems that the figure intends to suggest that the heavens are Yahweh 's cosmic tent . One can imagine ancient Israelites gazing up to the stars and comparing the canopy of the sky to the roofs of the tents under which they lived . In fact , if one were to look up at the ceiling of a dark tent with small holes in the roof during the daytime , the roof , with the sunlight shining through the holes , would look very much like the night sky with all its stars . The second image of the material composition of the heavenly realm involves a firm substance . The term רקיע ( răqîa ' ) , typically translated ' firmament ' , indicates the expanse above the earth . The root רקע means ' stamp out ' or ' forge ' . The idea of a solid , forged surface fits well with Ezekiel 1 where God 's throne rests upon the רקיע ( răqîa ' ) .", "25": "According to Genesis 1 , the רקיע ( rāqîa ' ) is the sphere of the celestial bodies ( Gen. 1 : 6 -- 8 , 14 -- 17 ; cf . ben Sira 43 : 8 ) . It may be that some imagined the עיקר to be a firm substance on which the celestial bodies rode during their daily journeys across the sky . '' Jump up ^ In the course of the Second Temple Period Jews , and eventually Christians , began to describe the universe in new terms . The model of the universe inherited form the Hebrew Bible and the Ancient Near East of a flat earth completely surrounded by water with a heavenly realm of the gods arching above from horizon to horizon became obsolete . In the past the heavenly realm was for gods only . It was the place where all events on earth were determined by the gods , and their decisions were irrevocable . The gulf between the gods and humans could not have been greater . The evolution of Jewish cosmography in the course of the Second Temple Period followed developments in Hellenistic astronomy . Jump up ^ What is described in Genesis 1 : 1 to 2 : 3 was the commonly accepted structure of the universe from at least late in the second millennium BCE to the fourth or third century BCE . It represents a coherent model for the experiences of the people of Mesopotamia through that period . It reflects a world - view that made sense of water coming from the sky and the ground as well as the regular apparent movements of the stars , sun , moon , and planets . There is a clear understanding of the restrictions on breeding between different species of animals and of the way in which human beings had gained control over what were , by then , domestic animals . There is also recognition of the ability of humans to change the environment in which they lived . This same understanding occurred also in the great creation stories of Mesopotamia ; these stories formed the basis for the Jewish theological reflections of the Hebrew Scriptures concerning the creation of the world . The Jewish priests and theologians who constructed the narrative took accepted ideas about the structure of the world and reflected theologically on them in the light of their experience and faith .", "26": "There was never any clash between Jewish and Babylonian people about the structure of the world , but only about who was responsible for it and its ultimate theological meaning . The envisaged structure is simple : Earth was seen as being situated in the middle of a great volume of water , with water both above and below Earth . A great dome was thought to be set above Earth ( like an inverted glass bowl ) , maintaining the water above Earth in its place . Earth was pictured as resting on foundations that go down into the deep . These foundations secured the stability of the land as something that is not floating on the water and so could not be tossed about by wind and wave . The waters surrounding Earth were thought to have been gathered together in their place . The stars , sun , moon , and planets moved in their allotted paths across the great dome above Earth , with their movements defining the months , seasons , and year . Jump up ^ From Myth to Cosmos : The earliest speculations about the origin and nature of the world took the form of religious myths . Almost all ancient cultures developed cosmological stories to explain the basic features of the cosmos : Earth and its inhabitants , sky , sea , sun , moon , and stars . For example , for the Babylonians , the creation of the universe was seen as born from a primeval pair of human - like gods . In early Egyptian cosmology , eclipses were explained as the moon being swallowed temporarily by a sow or as the sun being attacked by a serpent . For the early Hebrews , whose account is preserved in the biblical book of Genesis , a single God created the universe in stages within the relatively recent past . Such pre-scientific cosmologies tended to assume a flat Earth , a finite past , ongoing active interference by deities or spirits in the cosmic order , and stars and planets ( visible to the naked eye only as points of light ) that were different in nature from Earth . Jump up ^ This argument is given in Book I , Chapter 5 , of the Almagest . Jump up ^ Donald B. DeYoung , for example , states that `` Similar terminology is often used today when we speak of the sun 's rising and setting , even though the earth , not the sun , is doing the moving . Bible writers used the ' language of appearance , ' just as people always have .", "27": "Without it , the intended message would be awkward at best and probably not understood clearly . When the Bible touches on scientific subjects , it is entirely accurate . '' References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Lawson , Russell M. ( 2004 ) . Science in the Ancient World : An Encyclopedia .

White . The film , like the book , is about a pig named Wilbur who befriends an intelligent spider named Charlotte who saves him from being slaughtered . Released to theaters by Paramount Pictures , Charlotte 's Web features a song score of music and lyrics written by the Sherman Brothers , who had previously written music for family films like Mary Poppins ( 1964 ) , The Jungle Book ( 1967 ) , and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang ( 1968 ) . It is the first of only three Hanna - Barbera features not to be based upon one of their famous television cartoons , Heidi 's Song ( 1982 ) and Once Upon a Forest ( 1993 ) being the other two . Charlotte 's Web was recorded in 1972 and released on February 22 , 1973 , to moderate critical and commercial success .", "1": "The film has developed a devoted following over the following years due to television and VHS ; in 1994 it surprised the marketplace by becoming one of the best - selling titles of the year , 21 years after its first premiere . No other non-Disney musical animated film has enjoyed such a comeback in popularity , prompting a direct - to - video sequel , Charlotte 's Web 2 : Wilbur 's Great Adventure , which Paramount released in the US on March 18 , 2003 ( Universal released it internationally ) , followed by a live - action film version of the original story , which was released on December 15 , 2006 .

Deciding to let Fern deal with nurturing the piglet , John allows Fern to raise it as a pet . She nurtures it lovingly , naming it Wilbur . Six weeks later , Wilbur , due to being a spring pig , has matured , and John tells Fern that Wilbur has to be sold ( his siblings were already sold ) . Fern sadly says good - bye to Wilbur as he is sold down the street to her uncle , Homer Zuckerman . At Homer 's farm , a goose coaxes a sullen Wilbur to speak his first words . Although delighted at this new ability , Wilbur still yearns for companionship . He attempts to get the goose to play with him , but she declines on the condition that she has to hatch her eggs . Wilbur also tries asking a rat named Templeton to play with him , but Templeton 's only interests are spying , hiding , and eating . Wilbur then wants to play with a lamb , but the lamb 's father says sheep do not play with pigs because it is only a matter of time before they are slaughtered and turned into smoked bacon and ham .", "2": "Horrified at this depressing discovery , Wilbur reduces himself to tears until a mysterious voice tells him to `` chin up '' , and wait until morning to reveal herself to him . The following morning , she reveals herself to be a spider named Charlotte A. Cavatica , living on a web on a corner of Homer 's barn overlooking Wilbur 's pig pen . She tells him that she will come up with a plan guaranteed to spare his life . Later , the goose 's goslings hatch . One of them , named Jeffrey , befriends Wilbur . Eventually , Charlotte reveals her plan to `` play a trick on Zuckerman '' , and consoles Wilbur to sleep . The next morning , Homer 's farmhand , Lurvy , sees the words , SOME PIG , spun within Charlotte 's web . The incident attracts publicity among Homer 's neighbors who deem the praise to be a miracle . The publicity eventually dies down , and Charlotte requests the barn animals to devise a new word to spin within her web . After several suggestions , the goose suggests the phrase , TERRIFIC ! TERRIFIC ! TERRIFIC ! , though Charlotte decides to shorten it to one TERRIFIC . The incident becomes another media sensation , though Homer still desires to slaughter Wilbur . For the next message , Charlotte then employs Templeton to pull a word from a magazine clipping at the dump for inspiration , in which he returns the word RADIANT ripped from a soap box to spin within her web . Following this , Homer decides to enter Wilbur in the county fair for the summer . Charlotte reluctantly decides to accompany him , though Templeton at first has no interest in doing so until the goose tells him about all the food there . After one night there , Charlotte sends Templeton to the trash pile on another errand to gather another word for her next message , in which he returns with the word , HUMBLE . The next morning , Wilbur awakens to find Charlotte has spun an egg sac containing her unborn offspring , and the following afternoon , the word , HUMBLE , is spun . However , Fern 's brother , Avery , discovers another pig named Uncle has won first place , though the county fair staff decides to hold a celebration in honor of Homer 's miraculous pig , and rewards him $ 25 and a gold medal .", "3": "He then announces that he will allow Wilbur to `` live to a ripe old age '' . Exhausted from laying eggs and writing words , Charlotte tells Wilbur she will remain at the fair to die . Not willing to let her children be abandoned , Wilbur has Templeton retrieve her egg sac to take back to the farm , just before she dies . Once he returns to Homer 's farm , he guards the egg sac until the winter . The next spring , Charlotte 's 514 children are hatched , but leave the farm , causing Wilbur to become saddened to the point of wanting to run away . Just as he is about to do so , the ram points out that three of them did not fly away . Pleased at finding new friends , he names them Joy , Nellie , and Aranea , but as much as he loves them , they will never replace the memory of Charlotte . Voice cast Henry Gibson as Wilbur , a pig who was almost killed due to being a runt . Over time , however , he grows so much that one would never have known he was once a runt . When he learns of his fate of being slaughtered , Wilbur instantly breaks down into tears , until Charlotte tells him that she will do whatever it takes to save him . Wilbur is a friendly pig , but also prone to anxiety . Debbie Reynolds as Charlotte A. Cavatica , a spider who lives on a web in a corner of Homer 's barn above Wilbur 's pig pen . She is very loving and motherly , but sometimes grows frustrated at Wilbur 's anxiety issues . At the end of the film , she dies after laying 514 eggs , but three of them decide to stay with Wilbur . Paul Lynde as Templeton , a care - free , egotistical rat who lives at Homer 's farm . He helps Charlotte get new ideas for her webs on the condition that he is promised food . At the end of the film , as well as the sequel , he has four bratty children of his own : Henrietta , Lester , Ralphie , and Junior . Agnes Moorehead as the Goose , an unnamed goose who is the one that encourages Wilbur to speak for the first time . Her seven goslings later hatch , although there were actually eight eggs ( one was rotten ) .", "4": "In the sequel , she was named Gwen . Don Messick as Jeffrey , a young , undersized gosling whom Wilbur befriends shortly after his birth . He initially lives , eats , and sleeps with Wilbur rather than his mother and siblings . At one point , Avery remarks that he sounds more like a pig than a gosling , which pleases Jeffrey . When Wilbur is loaded into a crate destined for the fair , Jeffrey casually walks in to join him , amusing the humans but they still remove and restrain him nevertheless . International VHS releases show a deleted scene in which Jeffrey is briefly seen riding with Avery in the back of the Arables ' truck , until it stops so Avery can put him down in the middle of the road . Distressed at being separated from Wilbur , Jeffrey tries to catch up with the truck to no avail , leaving him heartbroken . His mother gently directs him to the pond to join his siblings . Despite his previous insistence that they be friends forever , Jeffrey does not reunite with Wilbur when the latter returns from the fair nor does he appear in the rest of the film . Herb Vigran as Lurvy , Homer 's farmhand who is the first to notice the messages in Charlotte 's webs . Pamelyn Ferdin as Fern Arable , John 's daughter who convinces him to spare Wilbur 's life . Martha Scott as Mrs. Arable , Fern 's mother who first tells her of what was going to happen to Wilbur . Bob Holt as Homer Zuckerman , Mrs. Arable 's brother and Fern 's uncle . John Stephenson as John Arable , Fern 's father . He was about to `` do away '' with Wilbur until she intervened . Danny Bonaduce as Avery Arable , Fern 's older brother . William B. White as Henry Fussy , a boy of about Fern 's age , whom she soon starts spending time with while Wilbur is at the fair . Dave Madden as the Ram , one of the first animals Wilbur meets at Homer 's farm . He is the first to tell Wilbur that it is a pig 's fate to be slaughtered and turned into smoked bacon and ham . Madden also voiced other characters in the film .", "5": "Joan Gerber as Edith Zuckerman , Homer 's wife . She comes up with the idea of giving Wilbur a buttermilk bath . Gerber also voiced Mrs. Fussy , Henry 's stern mother who never lets him have fun . Rex Allen as the Narrator Five members of the cast ( Henry Gibson , Paul Lynde , Agnes Moorehead , Danny Bonaduce , and Dave Madden ) had previously appeared on the ABC television sitcom Bewitched ( 1964 - 1972 ) . Hanna - Barbera also animated the opening credits of the show . However , Bonaduce and Madden are better known for their roles on another ABC - TV sitcom , The Partridge Family ( 1970 -- 1974 ) , which was still in production when the film was made . Ferdin and Lynde also both appeared on The Paul Lynde Show , another ABC sitcom created to fill the contract of Bewitched . Bonaduce , Lynde , Gerber , Messick , and Stephenson had previously worked for Hanna - Barbera in their television shows : Lynde appeared in The Perils of Penelope Pitstop ( uncredited ) , Bonaduce and Gerber were stars in Partridge Family 2200 A.D. , and Stephenson and Messick were Hanna - Barbera regulars who regularly lent their voices to many of their shows .

A second DVD release of the film was released in 2006 . Reception Charlotte 's Web received generally positive reviews . Review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes reported that it has a 76 % approval rating based on 21 reviews , with an average score of 6.6 / 10 . Craig Butler of All - Movie Guide criticized the animation and the musical score , but called it a faithful adaptation , noting that `` no attempt has been made to soften the existential sadness at the story 's core '' . Dan Jardine criticized the songs and the `` Saturday morning cartoon quality '' of the animation , but also says that Hamner `` retains just enough of White 's elegant prose in the dialogue and narration to keep the film from being simply a painfully well - intended experiment . '' Christopher Null of Filmcritic.com stated that the animation is sometimes `` downright bad '' , but that White 's classic fable needs little to make it come to life . TV Guide reviewed the film with generally positive remarks , stating that `` The voices of Reynolds , Lynde , Gibson , and all the rest are perfectly cast , and the songs by the Sherman brothers are solid , although none of them became hits like those they wrote for such Disney movies as MARY POPPINS . '' When it was reissued on DVD it was awarded an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Award .", "7": "The film is recognized by American Film Institute in these lists : 2008 : AFI 's 10 Top 10 : Nominated Animation Film E.B. White 's reaction According to Gene Deitch , White wrote the following words in a 1977 letter , `` We have never ceased to regret that your version of ' Charlotte 's Web ' never got made . The Hanna - Barbera version has never pleased either of us ... a travesty ... '' White himself wrote of the film , `` The story is interrupted every few minutes so that somebody can sing a jolly song . I do n't care much for jolly songs . The Blue Hill Fair , which I tried to report faithfully in the book , has become a Disney World , with 76 trombones . But that 's what you get for getting embroiled in Hollywood . '' White had previously turned down Disney when they offered to make a film based on his book . According to the film 's writer , Earl Hamner Jr. , White -- who sometimes offered advice and suggestions to the filmmakers -- would have preferred the music of Mozart in the film , rather than the music of the Sherman Brothers .

It began in 1990 when Universal Studios bought the rights to the novel by Michael Crichton before it was even published .", "1": "The book was successful , as was Steven Spielberg 's 1993 film adaptation , which led to three sequels , although the third and fourth films were not based on novels as the first two were . Numerous video games based on the franchise have been created by various software developers since the release of the 1993 film . The Jurassic Park Ultimate Trilogy was released on DVD and Blu - ray on October 25 , 2011 , in North America . The first film was re-released in 3D on April 5 , 2013 . Since 1996 , several water rides based on the series have been opened at various Universal theme parks . On June 1 , 2016 , the first three films in the franchise were added to the Netflix streaming service , but were removed on September 1 , 2016 . The fourth film , Jurassic World , was initially scheduled to be released in the summer of 2005 , but was delayed numerous times and was ultimately released in June 2015 . It became the first film that grossed over $500 million worldwide in its opening weekend , and has grossed over $1.6 billion through the course of its theatrical run , making it the fourth highest - grossing film of all time . When adjusted for monetary inflation , however , this film is the second highest grossing in the franchise after Jurassic Park . An animated film , Lego Jurassic World : The Indominus Escape , was released on October 18 , 2016 with the home media release of Jurassic World , alongside a short film , Employee Safety Video . A fifth film , Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom , is scheduled to be released on June 22 , 2018 . A sixth film , tentatively titled Jurassic World 3 , is scheduled to be released on June 11 , 2021 . As of 2000 , the franchise had generated $5 billion in revenue , making it one of the highest - grossing media franchises of all time .

After wrestling with this idea for a while , he came up with the idea of Jurassic Park . Crichton worked on the idea for several years ; he decided his first draft would have a theme park for the setting and a young boy as the main character . Response was extremely negative , so Crichton rewrote the story to make it from an adult 's point of view , which resulted in more positive feedback . Steven Spielberg learned of the novel in October 1989 while he and Crichton were discussing a screenplay that would become the TV series ER . Before the book was published , Crichton put up a non-negotiable fee for $1.5 million as well as a substantial percentage of the gross . Universal further paid Crichton $500,000 to adapt his own novel .", "3": "Warner Bros. and Tim Burton , Columbia Pictures and Richard Donner , and 20th Century Fox and Joe Dante also bid for the rights , but in May 1990 , Universal eventually decided on Spielberg making the adaptation . Universal desperately needed money to keep their company alive , and partially succeeded with Jurassic Park , as it became a critical and commercial success . After Jurassic Park was released to home video , Crichton was pressured from many sources for a sequel novel . Crichton declined all offers until Spielberg himself told him that he would be keen to direct a movie adaptation of the sequel , if one were written . Crichton began work almost immediately and in 1995 published The Lost World . Crichton confirmed that his novel had elements taken from the novel of the same name by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle . The book was also an outstanding success , both with professional and amateur critics . The film adaptation , The Lost World : Jurassic Park began production in September 1996 . InGen ( edit ) In the novels , the fictional company InGen ( International Genetic Technologies , Inc . ) is based in Palo Alto , California and has one location in Europe . Nevertheless , most of InGen 's research took place on the fictional islands of Isla Sorna and Isla Nublar , near Costa Rica . While the first novel indicated InGen was just one of any number of small 1980s genetic engineering start - ups , the events of the novel and film revealed to a select group that InGen had discovered a method of cloning dinosaurs and other animals ( including a quagga ) using blood extracted from mosquitoes trapped in amber during various periods in time , ranging from the Mesozoic era to the 1800s . Beacham 's Encyclopedia of Popular Fiction describe InGen as comparable to another `` sleazy organization '' . Other sources reference the company 's receiving the baby T. rex as an allusion to other exploitative entrepreneurs depicted in King Kong . Ken Gelder describes InGen as `` resolutely secretive , just like the firm in Grisham 's novel '' . Film series ( edit ) Feature films ( edit ) Jurassic Park ( 1993 ) ( edit ) Main article : Jurassic Park ( film ) Theatrical poster for the 3D re-release of Jurassic Park .", "4": "Before Crichton 's book was even published , studios such as Warner Bros. , Columbia , TriStar , 20th Century Fox , and Universal had already begun bidding to acquire the picture rights . Spielberg , with the backing of Universal Studios , acquired the rights to the novel before its publication in 1990 , and Crichton was hired by Universal Studios for an additional US $500,000 to adapt the novel into a proper screenplay . Malia Scotch Marmo , who was a writer on Spielberg 's Hook , wrote the next draft of Jurassic Park but is not credited . David Koepp wrote the final draft , which left out much of the novel 's exposition and violence , and made numerous changes to the characters . The film is set on Isla Nublar , the location of the theme park . When an incident results in the death of an employee , Jurassic Park owner John Hammond ( Richard Attenborough ) brings in three specialists to sign off on the park to calm investors . The specialists , paleontologist Alan Grant ( Sam Neill ) , paleobotanist Ellie Sattler ( Laura Dern ) , and chaos theorist Ian Malcolm ( Jeff Goldblum ) are surprised to see the island park 's main attraction are living , breathing dinosaurs , created with a mixture of fossilized DNA and genetic cross-breeding / cloning . However , when lead programmer Dennis Nedry ( Wayne Knight ) shuts down the park 's power to sneak out with samples of the dinosaur embryos to sell to a corporate rival , the dinosaurs break free , and the survivors are forced to find a way to turn the power back on and make it out alive . The film also stars Bob Peck , Martin Ferrero , B.D. Wong , Ariana Richards , Joseph Mazzello , and Samuel L. Jackson . Jurassic Park is regarded as a landmark in the use of computer - generated imagery and received positive reviews from critics , who praised the effects , though reactions to other elements of the picture , such as character development , were mixed . During its release , the film grossed more than $914 million worldwide , becoming the most successful film released up to that time ( surpassing E.T.", "5": "the Extra-Terrestrial and surpassed 4 years later by Titanic ) , and it is currently the 17th highest grossing feature film ( taking inflation into account , it is the 20th - highest - grossing film in North America ) . It is the most financially successful film for NBCUniversal and Steven Spielberg . Jurassic Park had two re-releases : The first on September 23 , 2011 , in the United Kingdom and the second in which it was converted into 3D on April 5 , 2013 , for its 20th Anniversary , which resulted in the film passing the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office . The Lost World : Jurassic Park ( 1997 ) ( edit ) Main article : The Lost World : Jurassic Park As soon as the novel was published , a film was in pre-production , with a target release date of mid-1997 . The film was a commercial success , breaking many box - office records when released . The film had mixed reviews , similar to its predecessor in terms of characterization . Much like the first film , The Lost World made a number of changes to the plot and characters from the book , replacing the corporate rivals with an internal power struggle and changing the roles / characterizations of several protagonists . When a vacationing family stumbles upon the dinosaurs of Isla Sorna , a secondary island where the animals were bred en masse and allowed to grow before being transported to the park , Ian Malcolm ( Jeff Goldblum ) is called in by John Hammond ( Richard Attenborough ) to lead a team to document the island to turn it into a preserve , where the animals can roam free without interference from the outside world . Malcolm agrees to go when he discovers his girlfriend , paleontologist Sarah Harding ( Julianne Moore ) is already on the island , while at the same time Hammond 's nephew , Peter Ludlow ( Arliss Howard ) , has taken over his uncle 's company and leads a team of hunters to capture the creatures and bring them back to a theme park in San Diego . The two groups clash and are ultimately forced to work together to evade the predatory creatures and survive the second island . The film also stars Pete Postlethwaite , Richard Schiff , Vince Vaughn , Vanessa Lee Chester , Peter Stormare , and a young Camilla Belle .", "6": "Jurassic Park III ( 2001 ) ( edit ) Main article : Jurassic Park III Joe Johnston had been interested in directing the sequel to Jurassic Park and approached his friend Steven Spielberg about the project . While Spielberg wanted to direct the first sequel , he agreed that if there was ever a third film , Johnston could direct . Spielberg , nevertheless , stayed involved in this film by becoming its executive producer . Production began on August 30 , 2000 , with filming in California , and the Hawaiian islands of Kauai , Oahu , and Molokai . It is the first Jurassic Park film not to be based on a novel . The film was a financial success but received mixed to negative reviews from critics . Most were split on whether the third installment was better or worse than its predecessor . The film once again suffered reviews mentioning little to no characterization . When their son goes missing while parasailing at Isla Sorna , the Kirbys ( William H. Macy and Téa Leoni ) hire Alan Grant ( Sam Neill ) under false pretenses to help them navigate the island . Believing it to be nothing more than sight - seeing , and that he will act as a dinosaur guide from the safety of their plane , he 's startled to find them landing on the ground , where they are stalked by a super-predator , the Spinosaurus , which destroys their plane . As they search for the Kirbys ' son , the situation grows dire as Velociraptors ( more intelligent than ever ) hunt their group and they must find a way off the island . The film also stars Alessandro Nivola , Michael Jeter , Trevor Morgan , Mark Harelik , and Laura Dern . Jurassic World ( 2015 ) ( edit ) Main article : Jurassic World Steven Spielberg devised a story idea for a fourth film in 2001 , during production of Jurassic Park III . In 2002 , William Monahan was hired to write the script , with the film 's release scheduled for 2005 . Monahan finished the first draft of the script in 2003 , with the film 's plot revolving around dinosaurs escaping to the mainland . Sam Neill and Richard Attenborough were set to reprise their characters , while Keira Knightley was in talks for two separate roles .", "7": "In 2004 , John Sayles wrote two drafts of the script . Sayles ' first draft involved a team of Deinonychus being trained for use in rescue missions . His second draft involved genetically modified dinosaur - human mercenaries . Both drafts were scrapped . In 2006 , a new script was being worked on . Laura Dern was contacted to reprise her role , with the film expected for release in 2008 . The film was further delayed by the 2007 -- 08 Writers Guild of America strike . Mark Protosevich wrote two film treatments in 2011 , which were rejected . Rise of the Planet of the Apes screenwriters Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver were hired in 2012 to write an early draft of the script . In 2013 , Colin Trevorrow was announced as a director and co-writer , with the film scheduled for release on June 12 , 2015 . The film was shot in 3D , and received positive reviews from critics and audience alike . The film features a new park , Jurassic World , built on the remains of the original park on Isla Nublar . The film sees the park run by Simon Masrani ( Irrfan Khan ) and Masrani Corp , and features the return of Dr. Henry Wu ( B.D. Wong ) from the first film , who harbors a grudge against his former employer . Chris Pratt , Bryce Dallas Howard , and Jake Johnson star , while Vincent D'Onofrio portrayed the main antagonist , Vic Hoskins . The cast also includes Lauren Lapkus , Ty Simpkins , Nick Robinson , Omar Sy , and Judy Greer . The primary dinosaur antagonist is Indominus rex , a genetically - modified hybrid of Tyrannosaurus rex and several other species , including Velociraptor , cuttlefish , and tree frog . Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom ( 2018 ) ( edit ) Main article : Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom A sequel to Jurassic World is scheduled for release on June 22 , 2018 . The film is being directed by J.A. Bayona , with a script written by Trevorrow and Connelly . Frank Marshall , Pat Crowley , and Belén Atienza are producing the film , with Trevorrow and Spielberg as executive producers .", "8": "Óscar Faura is the film 's cinematographer . The film stars Chris Pratt , Bryce Dallas Howard , B.D. Wong , James Cromwell , Ted Levine , Justice Smith , Geraldine Chaplin , Daniella Pineda , Toby Jones , Rafe Spall , and Isabella Sermon , with Jeff Goldblum reprising his role as Dr. Ian Malcolm . In the film , former Jurassic World manager Claire Dearing creates an organization to save the dinosaurs of Isla Nublar from a volcanic eruption . During early conversations on Jurassic World , Spielberg told Trevorrow that he was interested in having several more films made . In April 2014 , Trevorrow announced that sequels to Jurassic World had been discussed : `` We wanted to create something that would be a little bit less arbitrary and episodic , and something that could potentially arc into a series that would feel like a complete story . '' Trevorrow , who said he would direct the film if asked , later told Spielberg that he would only focus on directing one film in the series . In May 2015 , Trevorrow announced that he would not direct another film in the series : `` I would be involved in some way , but not as director . '' Trevorrow felt that different directors could bring different qualities to future films . In June 2015 , Trevorrow stated that Jurassic World left story possibilities open for the sequel 's director that could potentially allow the film to take place in a different location , rather than on an island . Trevorrow hinted that the next film could involve dinosaurs being used by other companies for non-entertainment purposes , possibly in agriculture , medicine , and war : `` I really like the idea that this group of geneticists are n't the only people who can make a dinosaur ( ... ) when you think of the differences between Apple and PC -- the minute something goes open - source , there are all kinds of entities and interests that may be able to utilise that technology . '' Trevorrow later confirmed that the film would not involve `` a bunch of dinosaurs chasing people on an island . That 'll get old real fast '' . Trevorrow also spoke of the film 's possible open - source storyline : `` It 's almost like InGen is Mac , but what if PC gets their hands on it ?", "9": "What if there are 15 different entities around the world who can make a dinosaur ? '' Bayona was announced as director in April 2016 . Spielberg , Marshall , and Kathleen Kennedy had been impressed by Bayona 's 2012 film , The Impossible , and initially considered having him direct Jurassic World , but he declined as he felt there was not enough time for production . During pre-production , Bayona said he was reading all of Michael Crichton 's novels , including Jurassic Park and The Lost World , `` to try to immerse myself in Crichton 's mind '' . Filming began in February 2017 . Filming took place in Hawaii , and at Pinewood Studios in England . Filming was also planned to take place at Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales . Filming concluded on July 8 , 2017 . Jurassic World 3 ( 2021 ) ( edit ) In September 2015 , Trevorrow said that Bryce Dallas Howard 's character would evolve the most over the course of the Jurassic World trilogy that , in turn , is expected to conclude the storyline that began with the previous five films . In October 2015 , Frank Marshall confirmed plans for a sixth film in the series . In November 2015 , Universal Pictures chairman Donna Langley said that Trevorrow and Spielberg have a story idea for the sixth film . In September 2016 , Bayona further confirmed that Trevorrow has plans for a Jurassic World trilogy . That month , Trevorrow was asked how much planning he had put into a new trilogy while he was filming Jurassic World in 2014 : `` I knew the end . I knew where I wanted it to go . '' Trevorrow later said that planning the beginning , middle , and end of the trilogy ahead of time `` is crucial to a franchise like this if you really want to bring people along with you and make sure they stay interested . It needs to be thought through on that level . It ca n't be arbitrary ( ... ) the earlier Jurassic Park movies had pretty clear definitive endings . They were much more episodic .

The series , titled Escape from Jurassic Park , would have consisted of 23 episodes for its first season . The series would have centered on John Hammond 's attempts to finish Jurassic Park and open it to the public , while InGen 's corporate rival Biosyn is simultaneously planning to open their own dinosaur theme park in Brazil , which ultimately ends with their dinosaurs escaping into the jungles . If produced , it was believed that the project would be the most expensive animated series up to that time . Jeff Segal , president of Universal Cartoon Studios , said , `` We are developing a TV series that we anticipate would be computer animated and very sophisticated . However , Spielberg has not had a chance yet to look at either the material or the format for the series . '' Segal said Universal was considering the possibility of developing the series for prime time . Segal said about the series ' storyline , `` It would essentially pick up from the closing moments of the movie and it would continue the story in a very dramatic way . The intention would be to continue with the primary characters and also introduce new characters . '' Segal also said the series would be aimed specifically at the same target audience as the film , while hoping that it would also appeal to young children .", "18": "Animation veteran and comic artist Will Meugniot ( then working at Universal Cartoon Studios for various projects , including Exosquad ) contacted artist William Stout to ask if he would be interested in designing the animated series . According to Stout , `` This was not going to be a kiddy show ( although kids of all ages , including myself , could enjoy it ) . They wanted the show to be a mature prime time series with top writers and state - of - the - art television animation augmented with quite a bit of CG animation . '' Universal Animation Studios wanted the show to have the look of a graphic novel . Stout was hired to work on the series and subsequently made a trailer to demonstrate how the series would look , and how it would combine traditional animation with computer animation . The series required Spielberg 's final approval before it could go into production . However , Spielberg had grown tired of the massive promotion and merchandise revolving around the film , and never watched the trailer . On July 13 , 1993 , Margaret Loesch , president of the Fox Children 's Network , confirmed that discussions had been held with Spielberg about an animated version of the film . Loesch also said , `` At least for now and in the foreseeable future , there will not be an animated Jurassic Park . That 's Steven Spielberg 's decision , and we respect that decision . '' Jurassic Park : Chaos Effect ( 1997 ) ( edit ) Part three of the four - part comic adaptation of The Lost World : Jurassic Park , published by Topps Comics in July 1997 , confirmed to readers that a cartoon series based on the film was in development . In November 1997 , it was reported that the cartoon would be accompanied by Jurassic Park : Chaos Effect , a series of dinosaur toys produced by Kenner and based on a premise that scientists had created dinosaur hybrids consisting of DNA from different creatures . The new toys were based on the upcoming cartoon . That month , it was also reported that the cartoon could be ready by March 1998 , as a mid-season replacement . The Chaos Effect toyline was released in June 1998 , but the animated series was never produced , for unknown reasons . In the short - lived toyline , the dinosaurs in this line are the results of scientists combining the DNA of dinosaurs with other dinosaurs and modern day animals .", "19": "The following dinosaurs are in this category : Amargospinus -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of an Amargasaurus and a Spinosaurus . Ankyloranodon -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of an Ankylosaurus and a Pteranodon . Compstegnathus -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Compsognathus , a Stegosaurus , and an African tree frog . Deinonycanis -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Deinonychus and a dire wolf . Its toy was not released when the toyline stopped production .

Omega T - Rex -- A genetically - advanced Tyrannosaurus where it does not have any of the Tyrannosaurus weaknesses . Pachysaurolophus -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Pachycephalosaurus and a Parasaurolophus . Its toy was not released when the toyline stopped production . Paradeinonychus -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Parasaurolophus and a Deinonychus . Raptor Alpha -- A genetically - advanced Velociraptor that specializes in hunting at night due to its camouflage ability working best at night . Stegospinus -- A hybrid dinosaur created from the DNA of a Stegosaurus and a Spinosaurus . Its toy was not released when the toyline stopped production .

Eren Jaeger , of the town called the Shiganshina District , wishes to see the outside world by joining the Scout Regiment , as he likens living in the cities to livestock . Despite this , his adopted sister Mikasa Ackermann and their mother Carla Jaeger are against him joining the Scouts . Even after seeing the Scouts return home with large casualties , Eren expresses his interest to join , which impresses his father Grisha Jaeger . After Eren and Mikasa rescue their friend Armin Arlelt from a group of delinquents due to his views that the walls will not protect them forever , the Colossal Titan suddenly appears and knocks down the gate to the Shiganshina District , which lies in the outer edge of Wall Maria , allowing smaller Titans to enter . As the town erupts into mass panic , Eren and Mikasa rush back to Carla , only to see her pinned under their collapsed house .

Some of townsfolk of the Shiganshina District escape to the inner Wall Maria , while the soldiers try to hold off the Titans . The soldiers try to close the gate , but the Armored Titan rams the gate , breaching the inner Wall Maria , and causing those inside to retreat even further inside Wall Rose . Some time later , Eren has a strange dream in which his grieving father forcefully gives him an injection and his key before being woken up by Mikasa . Eren grows disgusted with the people of Wall Rose as the latter do not like sharing their food or homes with the refugees . During the next year , as a food shortage becomes apparent , the government orders the refugees to either work on the farms or fight to reclaim Wall Maria . About 250,000 people , 20 % of the populace , choose to fight , only to be wiped out by the Titans .

After clearing the area of Titans , the Beast Titan throws chunks of Wall Rose at the castle , killing the group 's horses . A second wave of Titans subsequently attack the castle , and the senior soldiers are soon overwhelmed and killed . As the Titans surround the tower which the unarmed 104th Cadets are on , Ymir jumps off the tower and transforms into a Titan in order to honor a promise that she made with Christa . 30 5 `` Historia '' `` Hisutoria '' ( ヒストリア ) Tetsuya Wakano Yasuko Kobayashi April 29 , 2017 May 20 , 2017 In the past , Christa and Ymir became lost in a blizzard during their winter training in the mountains as cadets , while trying to save fellow cadet Daz . Ymir accused Christa of having a death wish rather than saving Daz for selfless reasons . She was also aware that Christa is an unwanted illegitimate daughter of a nobleman 's mistress who was forced by the Wall Cult to change her name and join the army . Ymir then made Christa promise that she must live her own life if she ever reveals her true name . Back in the present , Ymir transforms into the Dancing Titan and fights off the other Titans . Christa tells Ymir to destroy the tower in order to crush the Titans . As the tower begins to collapse , Ymir orders Christa and the others to grab on to her . Despite this effort , the Titans overwhelm Ymir , but Hange and the other Scouts arrive on time to save the 104th Cadets . With the battle over , Christa attends a gravely injured Ymir as the rest of the 104th Cadets learn that Ymir is a Titan Shifter .", "25": "Just before Ymir loses consciousness , Christa reveals that her real name is Historia Reiss . 31 6 `` Warrior '' `` Senshi '' ( 戦士 ) Hiroyuki Tanaka Hiroshi Seko May 6 , 2017 June 3 , 2017 The Scouts prepare to take the comatose Ymir to the Trost District for medical attention . Later , Hannes comes with his vanguard and reports that the walls were never breached . Before leaving for the Trost District , Eren learns that Reiner and Bertholdt are the Armored Titan and the Colossal Titan , respectively . Reiner explains that the mission to destroy all of humanity can be avoided if Eren would simply join them . Twelve hours earlier in the Ehrmich District , Hange explained that the scroll received from Sasha contained a background report on Annie , suggesting a connection with Reiner and Bertholdt , as all three are from the same area but otherwise have little information available . The Scouts eventually realized that they may have helped Annie find Eren 's location within the formation during the 57th Expedition . Therefore , Hange ordered the others to keep an eye on Reiner and Bertholdt without raising undue suspicion . Back in the present , Reiner and Bertholdt both shift into their Titan forms , despite a quick intervention by Mikasa Ackermann . The Armored Titan grabs Eren and slides down the wall as the Colossal Titan grabs Ymir . Feeling betrayed , Eren shifts into the Mysterious Titan and begins to fight the Armored Titan . 32 7 `` Close Combat ( Strike ・ Throw ・ Submit ) '' `` Da - Tō - Kyoku '' ( 打 ・ 投 ・ 極 ) Takayuki Hirao Hiroshi Seko May 13 , 2017 June 10 , 2017 As Eren and the Armored Titan engage in battle , the Colossal Titan consumes Ymir and another Scout . Hange and the other Scouts move in for an attack , but the Colossal Titan releases an enormous amount of steam , wounding several Scouts and preventing further attacks . The Armored Titan gains the upper hand in his fight against Eren , and the situation seems desperate even with assistance from Mikasa .", "26": "However , Eren uses hand - to - hand combat techniques that he learned from Annie during their recruit training , enabling him to give serious damage to the Armored Titan . Eren obliges when Armin implores him to fall back to the wall for his own safety . As the Armored Titan charges Eren once more , Eren utilizes grappling techniques advised by Hange in order to overcome his strength disadvantage and regain the upper hand . Eren is nearly successful at beheading the Armored Titan and extracting Reiner from within , only to be foiled when the Armored Titan roars for assistance . The Colossal Titan begins to deteriorate and plummets towards Eren and the Armored Titan . 33 8 `` The Hunters '' `` Oumono '' ( 迫 う 者 ) Yūmi Kawai Yasuko Kobayashi May 20 , 2017 June 17 , 2017 The Colossal Titan hits the ground , releasing a massive amount of steam . The Armored Titan frees itself from being grasped and extracts Eren from the Mysterious Titan , while Bertholdt carries the still unconscious Ymir and uses stolen omni - directional mobility gear to leave with the Armored Titan . Five hours later in the Trost District , the military divisions are informed about the recent battle that took place . Back at the walls , an unconscious Mikasa has a dream about the past , wherein she tried to protect Eren from the neighborhood delinquents , but she is distraught to find him gone when she awakes . Armin tells Mikasa that Eren and Ymir were captured , but nothing can be done in their current state . Hannes reminds Mikasa and Armin that Eren has a steadfast resolve . As Erwin soon arrives with reinforcements , Hange posits that Reiner and Bertholdt may seek the Forest of Giant Trees nearby to safely rest until nightfall , assuming that their goal is to relocate outside of Wall Maria . Eren and Ymir are shown waking in the forest as their bodies begin to regenerate their limbs , while Reiner and Bertholdt watch over them . The Scouts depart from Wall Rose to mount a rescue operation .", "27": "34 9 `` Opening '' `` Kaikō '' ( 開口 ) Yoshihide Ibata Yasuko Kobayashi May 27 , 2017 June 24 , 2017 As Erwin leads the expedition away from Wall Rose , Hange requests a horseback ride to Ragako to see the immobilized Titan , but Moblit decides to go in her stead since she is badly injured . Meanwhile , in the Forest of Giant Trees , as Eren and Ymir continue to regenerate their limbs , Ymir points out that not only are they are surrounded by Titans , but also Reiner and Bertholdt stole their omni - directional mobility gear . Reiner and Bertholdt plan to take Eren and Ymir to their hometown , but are waiting until nightfall when the surrounding Titans can not move . Eren is reminded by Ymir that they are in no position to fight or flee until they regenerate . Reiner begins to ramble about his duty as a soldier and as a warrior , which Ymir deduces that there is confusion between his undercover and real personas . Ymir is highly concerned about the Beast Titan , who caused the recent Titan invasion and may be their real enemy . Reiner then uses Ymir 's concern for Christa 's safety as leverage to drive a wedge between Eren and Ymir . The discussion is interrupted by the sound of flare guns , signalling the arrival of the Scouts . 35 10 `` Children '' `` Kodomotachi '' ( 子供 達 ) Kenji Imura Hiroshi Seko June 3 , 2017 July 8 , 2017 Moblit arrives at Ragako and recognizes the disabled Titan as Conny 's mother after seeing a portrait of Conny 's parents . At the Forest of Giant Trees , after Eren is restrained , Ymir says that Reiner and Bertholdt must take Christa with them . In a flashback , Ymir was worshiped by a cult as a child under supposed royalty . The cult was later apprehended and punished by soldiers , in which Ymir was injected with something and thrown off a wall , resulting in her transforming into the Dancing Titan .", "28": "Ymir spent the next sixty years as a Titan , and she ate Marcel , a childhood friend of Reiner , Bertholdt and Annie , before returning to human form . She realized that her freedom of accepting her true identity was why she developed such empathy with Christa . In the present , Ymir convinces Reiner and Bertholdt to allow her to transform into the Dancing Titan and take Christa with them . When the Scouts enter the forest , Ymir finds and swallows Christa before rejoining Reiner and Bertholdt . Reiner transforms as the Armored Titan , while Bertholdt , Eren and Ymir climb on its shoulders , as they flee at the edge of the forest with the Scouts in hot pursuit . 36 11 `` Charge '' `` Totsugeki '' ( 突撃 ) Hiroyuki Tanaka Yasuhiro Akamatsu Hiroshi Seko June 10 , 2017 July 15 , 2017 As the Armored Titan flees , Ymir regurgitates Christa and exits her Titan form in order to explain her seemingly selfish actions to Christa . The Scouts close in on the Armored Titan , but Mikasa is foiled when the Armored Titan blocks her from attacking Bertholdt and saving Eren . The other 104th Cadets arrive to reason with Bertholdt , but he professes that there is no turning back from their mission , despite being their comrade . Erwin uses himself as bait to lure a group of Titans charging towards the Scouts chasing the Armored Titan , and the Scouts are ordered to scatter their formation and charge at the Titans . The Armored Titan is consequently attacked by the Titans , forcing it to defend itself and release Eren and Bertholdt . Armin , Erwin and Mikasa work together to distract Bertholdt , cut Eren free and rescue Eren . Conny and Sasha retrieve Christa and explain that Ymir is lying about her recent actions . The Scouts are hampered from retreating when the Armored Titan throws Titans at them , knocking Eren and Mikasa off their horse . Eren and Mikasa then come face - to - face with the Smiling Titan , the same one that ate Carla Jaeger .", "29": "37 12 `` Scream '' `` Sakebi '' ( 叫び ) Satonobu Kikuchi Takayuki Hirao Tetsurō Araki Yoshihide Ibata Yasuko Kobayashi June 17 , 2017 July 22 , 2017 The Scouts are at a loss as more Titans thrown by the Armored Titan surround their position . Hannes sacrifices himself protecting Eren and Mikasa from the Smiling Titan . After Eren breaks down from failing to transform , he rekindles his spirit by vowing to protect Mikasa , activating an unknown power within him that causes the surrounding Titans to devour the Smiling Titan . Ymir realizes that Reiner and Bertholdt want Eren because he possesses the Coordinate , the ability to control other Titans . The surviving Scouts escape after Eren causes the Titans to go after the Armored Titan . Ymir decides to leave Christa in order to save the Armored Titan and Bertholdt from the Titans . A week later , Hange and Conny give a report to Erwin , Levi and Dot Pyxis , which reveals that the Titans that appeared within Wall Rose were the citizens of Ragako . Remembering how many died to rescue him , Eren vows to use his new power to help humanity , while Erwin is determined to learn more of the truth behind the Titans .

Upon inspecting the scene , they discover the decapitated body of Ilse Langnar , a soldier from the 34th Recon Corps division , resting inside of the tree , and find a notebook belonging to her lying on the ground . The notebook details Ilse 's records , as she escaped on foot after her squad was killed by Titans . She eventually became cornered by a Titan , but instead of killing her right away , it started to speak to her in the human language , calling her `` Ymir '' . Ilse attempted to communicate with the Titan , but it inevitably became hostile again and bit off her head , curiously choosing not to devour her body but instead rest it inside the tree .

{ "0": "Dynastic cycle - wikipedia Dynastic cycle Jump to : navigation , search Dynastic cycle ( traditional Chinese : 朝代 循環 ; simplified Chinese : 朝代 循环 ; pinyin : Cháodài Xúnhuán ) is an important political theory in Chinese history . According to this theory , each dynasty rises to a political , cultural , and economic peak and then , because of moral corruption , declines , loses the Mandate of Heaven , and falls , only to be replaced by a new dynasty . The cycle then repeats under a surface pattern of repetitive motifs . It sees a continuity in Chinese history from early times to the present by looking at the succession of empires or dynasties , implying that there is little basic development or change in social or economic structures . John K. Fairbank expressed the doubts of many historians when he wrote that `` the concept of the dynastic cycle ... has been a major block to the understanding of the fundamental dynamics of Chinese history . '' Contents ( hide ) 1 The cycle 2 Significance 3 See also 4 References 4.1 Citations 4.2 Sources 5 External links The cycle ( edit ) The cycle appears as follows : A new ruler unites China , founds a new dynasty , and gains the Mandate of Heaven . China , under the new dynasty , achieves prosperity . The population increases . Corruption becomes rampant in the imperial court , and the empire begins to enter decline and instability . A natural disaster wipes out farm land . The disaster normally would not have been a problem ; however , together with the Corruption and overpopulation , it causes famine . The famine causes the population to rebel and a civil war ensues . The ruler loses the Mandate of Heaven . The population decreases because of the violence . China goes through a warring states period . One state emerges victorious . The state starts a new empire . The empire gains the Mandate of Heaven . ( The cycle repeats itself . ) The Mandate of Heaven was the idea that the Emperor was favored by Heaven to rule over China . The Mandate of Heaven explanation was championed by the Chinese philosopher Mencius during the Warring States period . It has 3 main phases : The first is the beginning of the dynasty .", "1": "The second is at the middle of the dynasty 's life and is the peak of the dynasty . The last period is the decline of the dynasty , both politically and economically , until it finally collapses . Significance ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( October 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Chinese history is traditionally represented in terms of dynastic cycles . Through its long history , the Chinese have been ruled not by one dynasty , but by a succession of different dynasties . The first dynasty in China to be described in ancient historical records such as Records of the Grand Historian and Bamboo Annals is the Xia , which was succeeded by the Shang , although concrete existence of the Xia is yet to be archaeologically proven . Among these dynasties the Han and Tang are often considered as particularly strong periods , although other dynasties are famous for cultural and other achievements ( for instance , the Song dynasty is sometimes associated with rapid economic development ) . Han and Tang , as well as other long , stable dynasties were followed by periods of disorder and the break - up of China into small regimes . Out of disorder a leader eventually arose who unified the country and imposed strong central authority . For example , after the Han various dynasties ruled parts of China until Yang Jian reunited the country and established the Sui dynasty . The Sui set the scene for the long and prosperous Tang . After the fall of Tang , China again saw a period of political upheaval . There is a famous Chinese proverb expressed in the 16th century novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms that says `` After a long split , a union will occur ; after a long union , a split will occur '' ( 分久必合 , 合 久 必 分 ) . Each of these rulers would claim the Mandate of Heaven to legitimize their rule . Although this well - known dynastic periodization of China is more or less based on traditional Sinocentric ideology , it also applies to non-native rulers who sought to gain the Mandate of Heaven .", "2": "While most ruling dynasties in Chinese history were founded by native Chinese , there were also non-native or Conquest Dynasties established by non-Han Chinese people beyond the traditional border of central part of China dominated by Han Chinese people ( also known as China proper ) . These include the Yuan founded by Mongols and the Qing founded by Manchus , who later conquered the central part of China and assumed the title of Emperor of China .

George Brinton McClellan ( December 3 , 1826 -- October 29 , 1885 ) was an American soldier , civil engineer , railroad executive , and politician .", "1": "A graduate of West Point , McClellan served with distinction during the Mexican -- American War ( 1846 - 1848 ) , and later left the Army to work in railroads until the outbreak of the American Civil War ( 1861 - 1865 ) . Early in the war , McClellan was appointed to the rank of major general and played an important role in raising a well - trained and organized army , which would become the Army of the Potomac in the Eastern Theater ; he served a brief period ( November 1861 to March 1862 ) as general - in - chief of the United States Army / Union Army . Although McClellan was meticulous in his planning and preparations , these very characteristics hampered his ability to challenge aggressive opponents in a fast - moving battlefield environment . He chronically overestimated the strength of enemy units and was reluctant to apply principles of mass , frequently leaving large portions of his army unengaged at decisive points . McClellan organized and led the Union army in the Peninsula Campaign in southeastern Virginia from March through July 1862 . It was the first large - scale offensive in the Eastern Theater . Making an amphibious clockwise turning movement around the Confederate States Army in northern Virginia , McClellan 's forces turned west to move up the Virginia Peninsula , between the James and York Rivers landing from the Chesapeake Bay , with the Confederate capital , Richmond , as their objective . Initially , McClellan was somewhat successful against the equally cautious General Joseph E. Johnston , but the military emergence of General Robert E. Lee to command the Army of Northern Virginia turned the subsequent Seven Days Battles into a partial Union defeat . General McClellan failed to maintain the trust of 16th President Abraham Lincoln . He did not trust his commander - in - chief and was privately derisive of him . He was removed from command in November after failing to decisively pursue Lee 's Army following the tactically inconclusive but strategic Union victory at the Battle of Antietam outside Sharpsburg , Maryland and never received another field command . McClellan went on to become the unsuccessful Democratic Party nominee in the 1864 presidential election against Lincoln 's reelection . The effectiveness of his campaign was damaged when he repudiated his party 's platform , which promised an end to the war and negotiations with the southern Confederacy .", "2": "He served as the 24th Governor of New Jersey from 1878 to 1881 . He eventually became a writer , and vigorously defended his Civil War conduct . Most modern authorities have assessed McClellan as a poor battlefield general . Some historians view him as a highly capable commander whose reputation suffered unfairly at the hands of pro-Lincoln partisans who made him a scapegoat for the Union 's military setbacks . After the war , subsequent commanding general and 18th President Ulysses S. Grant was asked for his opinion of McClellan as a general ; he replied , `` McClellan is to me one of the mysteries of the war .

His father 's family was of Ulster Scots heritage . His mother was Elizabeth Sophia Steinmetz Brinton McClellan ( 1800 -- 1889 ) , daughter of a leading Pennsylvania family , a woman noted for her `` considerable grace and refinement '' . The couple had five children : a daughter , Frederica ; then three sons , John , George , and Arthur ; and finally a second daughter , Mary . McClellan was the great - grandson of Revolutionary War general Samuel McClellan , of Woodstock , Connecticut . He attended the University of Pennsylvania in 1840 at age 13 , resigning himself to the study of law .", "3": "After two years , he changed his goal to military service . With the assistance of his father 's letter to President John Tyler , young George was accepted at the United States Military Academy in 1842 , the academy having waived its normal minimum age of 16 . At West Point , he was an energetic and ambitious cadet , deeply interested in the teachings of Dennis Hart Mahan and the theoretical strategic principles of Antoine - Henri Jomini . His closest friends were aristocratic Southerners such as James Stuart , Dabney Maury , Cadmus Wilcox , and A.P. Hill . These associations gave McClellan what he considered to be an appreciation of the Southern mind and an understanding of the political and military implications of the sectional differences in the United States that led to the Civil War . He graduated in 1846 , second in his class of 59 cadets , losing the top position to Charles Seaforth Stewart only because of poor drawing skills . He was commissioned a brevet second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers . Mexican -- American War ( edit ) McClellan 's first assignment was with a company of engineers formed at West Point , but he quickly received orders to sail for the Mexican -- American War . He arrived near the mouth of the Rio Grande in October 1846 , well prepared for action with a double - barreled shotgun , two pistols , a saber , a dress sword , and a Bowie knife . He complained that he had arrived too late to take any part in the American victory at Monterrey in September . During a temporary armistice in which the forces of Gen. Zachary Taylor awaited action , McClellan was stricken with dysentery and malaria , which kept him in the hospital for nearly a month . The malaria would recur in later years -- he called it his `` Mexican disease . '' He served as an engineering officer during the war , was frequently subject to enemy fire , and was appointed a brevet first lieutenant for his services at Contreras and Churubusco and to captain for his service at Chapultepec . He performed reconnaissance missions for Maj. Gen. Winfield Scott , a close friend of McClellan 's father . McClellan 's experiences in the war would shape his military and political life .", "4": "He learned that flanking movements ( used by Scott at Cerro Gordo ) are often better than frontal assaults , and the value of siege operations ( Veracruz ) . He witnessed Scott 's success in balancing political with military affairs , and his good relations with the civil population as he invaded , enforcing strict discipline on his soldiers to minimize damage to property . McClellan also developed a disdain for volunteer soldiers and officers , particularly politicians who cared nothing for discipline and training . Peacetime service ( edit ) McClellan returned to West Point to command his engineering company , which was attached to the academy for the purpose of training cadets in engineering activities . He chafed at the boredom of peacetime garrison service , although he greatly enjoyed the social life . In June 1851 he was ordered to Fort Delaware , a masonry work under construction on an island in the Delaware River , 40 miles ( 64 km ) downriver from Philadelphia . In March 1852 he was ordered to report to Capt . Randolph B. Marcy at Fort Smith , Arkansas , to serve as second - in - command on an expedition to discover the sources of the Red River . By June the expedition reached the source of the north fork of the river and Marcy named a small tributary McClellan 's Creek . Upon their return to civilization on July 28 , they were astonished to find that they had been given up for dead . A sensational story had reached the press that the expedition had been ambushed by 2,000 Comanches and killed to the last man . McClellan blamed the story on `` a set of scoundrels , who seek to keep up agitation on the frontier in order to get employment from the Govt. in one way or other . '' In the fall of 1852 , McClellan published a manual on bayonet tactics that he had translated from the original French . He also received an assignment to the Department of Texas , with orders to perform a survey of Texas rivers and harbors . In 1853 he participated in the Pacific Railroad surveys , ordered by Secretary of War Jefferson Davis , to select an appropriate route for the planned transcontinental railroad . McClellan surveyed the western portion of the northern corridor along the 47th and 49th parallels from St.", "5": "Paul to the Puget Sound . In so doing he demonstrated a tendency for insubordination toward senior political figures . Isaac Stevens , governor of the Washington Territory , became dissatisfied with McClellan 's performance in scouting passes across the Cascade Range . McClellan selected Yakima Pass without a thorough reconnaissance and refused the governor 's order to lead a party through it in winter conditions , relying on faulty intelligence about the depth of snow pack in that area . In so doing , he missed three greatly superior passes in the near vicinity , which would be the ones eventually used for railroads and interstate highways . The governor ordered McClellan to turn over his expedition logbooks , but McClellan steadfastly refused , most likely because of embarrassing personal comments that he had made throughout . Returning to the East , McClellan began courting his future wife , Mary Ellen Marcy ( 1836 -- 1915 ) , the daughter of his former commander . Ellen , or Nelly , refused McClellan 's first proposal of marriage , one of nine that she received from a variety of suitors , including his West Point friend , A.P. Hill . Ellen accepted Hill 's proposal in 1856 , but her family did not approve and he withdrew . In June 1854 , McClellan was sent on a secret reconnaissance mission to Santo Domingo at the behest of Jefferson Davis . McClellan assessed local defensive capabilities for the secretary . ( The information was not used until 1870 , when President Ulysses S. Grant unsuccessfully attempted to annex the Dominican Republic . ) Davis was beginning to treat McClellan almost as a protégé , and his next assignment was to assess the logistical readiness of various railroads in the United States , once again with an eye toward planning for the transcontinental railroad . In March 1855 , McClellan was promoted to captain and assigned to the 1st U.S. Cavalry regiment . Because of his political connections and his mastery of French , McClellan received the assignment to be an official observer of the European armies in the Crimean War in 1855 . Traveling widely , and interacting with the highest military commands and royal families , McClellan observed the siege of Sevastopol .", "6": "Upon his return to the United States in 1856 he requested assignment in Philadelphia to prepare his report , which contained a critical analysis of the siege and a lengthy description of the organization of the European armies . He also wrote a manual on cavalry tactics that was based on Russian cavalry regulations . Like other observers , though , McClellan did not appreciate the importance of the emergence of rifled muskets in the Crimean War , and the fundamental changes in warfare tactics it would require . The Army adopted McClellan 's cavalry manual and also his design for a saddle , dubbed the McClellan Saddle , which he claimed to have seen used by Hussars in Prussia and Hungary . It became standard issue for as long as the U.S. horse cavalry existed and is still used for ceremonies . Civilian pursuits ( edit ) George B. McClellan and Mary Ellen Marcy ( Nelly ) McClellan McClellan resigned his commission January 16 , 1857 , and , capitalizing on his experience with railroad assessment , became chief engineer and vice president of the Illinois Central Railroad , and then president of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad in 1860 . He performed well in both jobs , expanding the Illinois Central toward New Orleans and helping the Ohio and Mississippi recover from the Panic of 1857 . Despite his successes and lucrative salary ( $10,000 per year ) , he was frustrated with civilian employment and continued to study classical military strategy assiduously . During the Utah War against the Mormons , he considered rejoining the Army . He also considered service as a filibuster in support of Benito Juárez in Mexico . Before the outbreak of the Civil War , McClellan became active in politics , supporting the presidential campaign of Democrat Stephen A. Douglas in the 1860 election . He claimed to have defeated an attempt at vote fraud by Republicans by ordering the delay of a train that was carrying men to vote illegally in another county , enabling Douglas to win the county . In October 1859 McClellan was able to resume his courtship of Mary Ellen , and they were married in Calvary Church , New York City , on May 22 , 1860 .", "7": "Civil War ( edit ) Ohio and strategy ( edit ) At the start of the American Civil War , McClellan 's knowledge of what was called `` big war science '' and his railroad experience suggested he might excel at military logistics . This placed him in great demand as the Union mobilized . The governors of Ohio , Pennsylvania , and New York , the three largest states of the Union , actively pursued him to command their states ' militia . Ohio Governor William Dennison was the most persistent , so McClellan was commissioned a major general of volunteers and took command of the Ohio militia on April 23 , 1861 . Unlike some of his fellow Union officers who came from abolitionist families , he was opposed to federal interference with slavery . For this reason , some of his Southern colleagues approached him informally about siding with the Confederacy , but he could not accept the concept of secession . On May 3 McClellan re-entered federal service as commander of the Department of the Ohio , responsible for the defense of the states of Ohio , Indiana , Illinois , and , later , western Pennsylvania , western Virginia , and Missouri . On May 14 , he was commissioned a major general in the regular army . At age 34 , he outranked everyone in the Army except Lt. Gen. Winfield Scott , the general - in - chief . McClellan 's rapid promotion was partly due to his acquaintance with Salmon P. Chase , Treasury Secretary and former Ohio governor and senator . As McClellan scrambled to process the thousands of men who were volunteering for service and to set up training camps , he also applied his mind to grand strategy . He wrote a letter to Gen. Scott on April 27 , four days after assuming command in Ohio , that presented the first proposal for a strategy for the war . It contained two alternatives , each envisioning a prominent role for himself as commander . The first would use 80,000 men to invade Virginia through the Kanawha Valley toward Richmond . The second would use the same force to drive south instead , crossing the Ohio River into Kentucky and Tennessee . Scott rejected both plans as logistically unfeasible .", "8": "Although he complimented McClellan and expressed his `` great confidence in your intelligence , zeal , science , and energy '' , he replied by letter that the 80,000 men would be better used on a river - based expedition to control the Mississippi River and split the Confederacy , accompanied by a strong Union blockade of Southern ports . This plan , which would require considerable patience of the Northern public , was derided in newspapers as the Anaconda Plan , but eventually proved to be the outline of the successful prosecution of the war . Relations between the two generals became increasingly strained over the summer and fall . Western Virginia ( edit ) McClellan 's first military operations were to occupy the area of western Virginia that wanted to remain in the Union and subsequently became the state of West Virginia . He had received intelligence reports on May 26 that the critical Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bridges in that portion of the state were being burned . As he quickly implemented plans to invade the region , he triggered his first serious political controversy by proclaiming to the citizens there that his forces had no intentions of interfering with personal property -- including slaves . `` Notwithstanding all that has been said by the traitors to induce you to believe that our advent among you will be signalized by interference with your slaves , understand one thing clearly -- not only will we abstain from all such interference but we will on the contrary with an iron hand , crush any attempted insurrection on their part . '' He quickly realized that he had overstepped his bounds and apologized by letter to President Lincoln . The controversy was not that his proclamation was diametrically opposed to the administration 's policy at the time , but that he was so bold in stepping beyond his strictly military role . His forces moved rapidly into the area through Grafton and were victorious at the tiny skirmish called the Battle of Philippi , arguably the first land conflict of the war . His first personal command in battle was at Rich Mountain , which he also won , but only after displaying a strong sense of caution and a reluctance to commit reserve forces that would be his hallmark for the rest of his career . His subordinate commander , William S. Rosecrans , bitterly complained that his attack was not reinforced as McClellan had agreed . Nevertheless , these two minor victories propelled McClellan to the status of national hero . The New York Herald entitled an article about him `` Gen.", "9": "McClellan , the Napoleon of the Present War . '' Building an Army ( edit ) Patriotic cover honoring the arrival of Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan in Washington , D.C. , on July 26 , 1861 After the defeat of the Union forces at Bull Run on July 21 , 1861 , Lincoln summoned McClellan from western Virginia , where McClellan had given the North the only engagements bearing a semblance of victory . He traveled by special train on the main Pennsylvania line from Wheeling through Pittsburgh , Philadelphia , and Baltimore , and on to Washington , D.C. , and was greeted by enthusiastic crowds that met his train along the way . Carl Sandburg wrote , `` McClellan was the man of the hour , pointed to by events , and chosen by an overwhelming weight of public and private opinion . '' On July 26 , the day he reached the capital , McClellan was appointed commander of the Military Division of the Potomac , the main Union force responsible for the defense of Washington . On August 20 , several military units in Virginia were consolidated into his department and he immediately formed the Army of the Potomac , with himself as its first commander . He reveled in his newly acquired power and influence : I find myself in a new and strange position here -- Presdt , Cabinet , Genl Scott & all deferring to me -- by some strange operation of magic I seem to have become the power of the land ... I almost think that were I to win some small success now I could become Dictator or anything else that might please me -- but nothing of that kind would please me -- therefore I wo n't be Dictator . Admirable self - denial ! -- George B. McClellan , letter to Ellen , July 26 , 1861 General George B. McClellan with staff & dignitaries ( from left to right ) : Gen. George W. Morell , Lt. Col. A.V. Colburn , Gen. McClellan , Lt. Col. N.B.", "10": "Sweitzer , Prince de Joinville ( son of King Louis Phillippe of France ) , and on the very right -- the prince 's nephew , Count de Paris During the summer and fall , McClellan brought a high degree of organization to his new army , and greatly improved its morale with frequent trips to review and encourage his units . It was a remarkable achievement , in which he came to personify the Army of the Potomac and reaped the adulation of his men . He created defenses for Washington that were almost impregnable , consisting of 48 forts and strong points , with 480 guns manned by 7,200 artillerists . The Army of the Potomac grew in number from 50,000 in July to 168,000 in November , becoming the largest military force the United States had raised until that time . But this was also a time of tension in the high command , as he continued to quarrel frequently with the government and the general - in - chief , Lt. Gen. Scott , on matters of strategy . McClellan rejected the tenets of Scott 's Anaconda Plan , favoring instead an overwhelming grand battle , in the Napoleonic style . He proposed that his army should be expanded to 273,000 men and 600 guns and `` crush the rebels in one campaign . '' He favored a war that would impose little impact on civilian populations and require no emancipation of slaves . McClellan 's antipathy to emancipation added to the pressure on him , as he received bitter criticism from Radical Republicans in the government . He viewed slavery as an institution recognized in the Constitution , and entitled to federal protection wherever it existed ( Lincoln held the same public position until August 1862 ) . McClellan 's writings after the war were typical of many Northerners : `` I confess to a prejudice in favor of my own race , & ca n't learn to like the odor of either Billy goats or niggers . '' But in November 1861 , he wrote to his wife , `` I will , if successful , throw my sword onto the scale to force an improvement in the condition of those poor blacks . ''", "11": "He later wrote that had it been his place to arrange the terms of peace , he would have insisted on gradual emancipation , guarding the rights of both slaves and masters , as part of any settlement . But he made no secret of his opposition to the radical Republicans . He told Ellen , `` I will not fight for the abolitionists . '' This put him in opposition with officials of the administration who believed he was attempting to implement the policies of the opposition party . The immediate problem with McClellan 's war strategy was that he was convinced the Confederates were ready to attack him with overwhelming numbers . On August 8 , believing that the Confederacy had over 100,000 troops facing him ( in contrast to the 35,000 they had actually deployed at Bull Run a few weeks earlier ) , he declared a state of emergency in the capital . By August 19 , he estimated 150,000 rebel soldiers on his front . McClellan 's subsequent campaigns were strongly influenced by the overblown enemy strength estimates of his secret service chief , detective Allan Pinkerton , but in August 1861 , these estimates were entirely McClellan 's own . The result was a level of extreme caution that sapped the initiative of McClellan 's army and dismayed the government . Historian and biographer Stephen W. Sears observed that McClellan 's actions would have been `` essentially sound '' for a commander who was as outnumbered as McClellan thought he was , but McClellan in fact rarely had less than a two - to - one advantage over the armies that opposed him in 1861 and 1862 . That fall , for example , Confederate forces ranged from 35,000 to 60,000 , whereas the Army of the Potomac in September numbered 122,000 men ; in early December 170,000 ; by year end , 192,000 . The dispute with Scott became increasingly personal . Scott ( as well as many in the War Department ) was outraged that McClellan refused to divulge any details about his strategic planning , or even such basic information as the strengths and dispositions of his units . McClellan claimed he could not trust anyone in the administration to keep his plans secret from the press , and thus the enemy .", "12": "In the course of a disagreement about defensive forces on the Potomac River , McClellan wrote to his wife on August 10 : `` Genl Scott is the great obstacle -- he will not comprehend the danger & is either a traitor , or an incompetent . I have to fight my way against him . '' Scott became so disillusioned with the young general that he offered his resignation to President Lincoln , who initially refused to accept it . Rumors traveled through the capital that McClellan might resign , or instigate a military coup , if Scott were not removed . Lincoln 's Cabinet met on October 18 and agreed to accept Scott 's resignation for `` reasons of health . '' However , the subsequently formed Army of the Potomac had high morale and was extremely proud of their general , some even referring to McClellan as the saviour of Washington . He prevented the army 's morale from collapsing at least twice , in the aftermath of the First and Second Battles of Bull Run . Many historians argue that he was talented in this aspect . General - in - chief ( edit ) `` Quaker guns '' ( logs used as ruses to imitate cannons ) in former Confederate fortifications at Manassas Junction On November 1 , 1861 , Winfield Scott retired and McClellan became general - in - chief of all the Union armies . The president expressed his concern about the `` vast labor '' involved in the dual role of army commander and general - in - chief , but McClellan responded , `` I can do it all . '' Lincoln , as well as many other leaders and citizens of the northern states , became increasingly impatient with McClellan 's slowness to attack the Confederate forces still massed near Washington . The Union defeat at the minor Battle of Ball 's Bluff near Leesburg in October added to the frustration and indirectly damaged McClellan . In December , the Congress formed a Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War , which became a thorn in the side of many generals throughout the war , accusing them of incompetence and , in some cases , treason . McClellan was called as the first witness on December 23 , but he contracted typhoid fever and could not attend .", "13": "Instead , his subordinate officers testified , and their candid admissions that they had no knowledge of specific strategies for advancing against the Confederates raised many calls for McClellan 's dismissal . McClellan further damaged his reputation by his insulting insubordination to his commander - in - chief . He privately referred to Lincoln , whom he had known before the war as a lawyer for the Illinois Central , as `` nothing more than a well - meaning baboon '' , a `` gorilla '' , and `` ever unworthy of ... his high position . '' On November 13 , he snubbed the president , who had come to visit McClellan 's house , by making him wait for 30 minutes , only to be told that the general had gone to bed and could not receive him . On January 10 , Lincoln met with top generals ( McClellan did not attend ) and directed them to formulate a plan of attack , expressing his exasperation with General McClellan with the following remark : `` If General McClellan does not want to use the army , I would like to borrow it for a time . '' On January 12 , 1862 , McClellan was summoned to the White House , where the Cabinet demanded to hear his war plans . For the first time , he revealed his intentions to transport the Army of the Potomac by ship to Urbanna , Virginia , on the Rappahannock River , outflanking the Confederate forces near Washington , and proceeding 50 miles ( 80 km ) overland to capture Richmond . He refused to give any specific details of the proposed campaign , even to his friend , newly appointed War Secretary Edwin M. Stanton . On January 27 , Lincoln issued an order that required all of his armies to begin offensive operations by February 22 , Washington 's birthday . On January 31 , he issued a supplementary order for the Army of the Potomac to move overland to attack the Confederates at Manassas Junction and Centreville . McClellan immediately replied with a 22 - page letter objecting in detail to the president 's plan and advocating instead his Urbanna plan , which was the first written instance of the plan 's details being presented to the president .", "14": "Although Lincoln believed his plan was superior , he was relieved that McClellan finally agreed to begin moving , and reluctantly approved . On March 8 , doubting McClellan 's resolve , Lincoln again interfered with the army commander 's prerogatives . He called a council of war at the White House in which McClellan 's subordinates were asked about their confidence in the Urbanna plan . They expressed their confidence to varying degrees . After the meeting , Lincoln issued another order , naming specific officers as corps commanders to report to McClellan ( who had been reluctant to do so prior to assessing his division commanders ' effectiveness in combat , even though this would have meant his direct supervision of twelve divisions in the field ) . Two more crises would confront McClellan before he could implement his plans . The Confederate forces under General Joseph E. Johnston withdrew from their positions before Washington , assuming new positions south of the Rappahannock , which completely nullified the Urbanna strategy . McClellan revised his plans to have his troops disembark at Fort Monroe , Virginia , and advance up the Virginia Peninsula to Richmond , an operation that would be known as the Peninsula Campaign . Then , however , McClellan came under extreme criticism in the press and Congress when it was learned that Johnston 's forces had not only slipped away unnoticed , but had for months fooled the Union Army with logs painted black to appear as cannons , nicknamed Quaker Guns . Congress 's joint committee visited the abandoned Confederate lines and radical Republicans introduced a resolution demanding the dismissal of McClellan , but it was narrowly defeated by a parliamentary maneuver . The second crisis was the emergence of the Confederate ironclad CSS Virginia , which threw Washington into a panic and made naval support operations on the James River seem problematic . On March 11 , 1862 , Lincoln removed McClellan as general - in - chief , leaving him in command of only the Army of the Potomac , ostensibly so that McClellan would be free to devote all his attention to the move on Richmond . Lincoln 's order was ambiguous as to whether McClellan might be restored following a successful campaign . In fact , the general - in - chief position was left unfilled .", "15": "Lincoln , Stanton , and a group of officers who formed the `` War Board '' directed the strategic actions of the Union armies that spring . Although McClellan was assuaged by supportive comments Lincoln made to him , in time he saw the change of command very differently , describing it as a part of an intrigue `` to secure the failure of the approaching campaign . '' Peninsula campaign ( edit ) Peninsula Campaign , map of events up to the Battle of Seven Pines Confederate Union Seven Days Battles , June 25 -- July 1 , 1862 McClellan 's army began to sail from Alexandria on March 17 . It was an armada that dwarfed all previous American expeditions , transporting 121,500 men , 44 artillery batteries , 1,150 wagons , over 15,000 horses , and tons of equipment and supplies . An English observer remarked that it was the `` stride of a giant . '' The army 's advance from Fort Monroe up the Virginia Peninsula proved to be slow . McClellan 's plan for a rapid seizure of Yorktown was foiled when he discovered that the Confederates had fortified a line across the Peninsula , causing him to decide on a siege of the city , which required considerable preparation . McClellan continued to believe intelligence reports that credited the Confederates with two or three times the men they actually had . Early in the campaign , Confederate General John B. `` Prince John '' Magruder defended the Peninsula against McClellan 's advance with a vastly smaller force . He created a false impression of many troops behind the lines and of even more troops arriving . He accomplished this by marching small groups of men repeatedly past places where they could be observed at a distance or were just out of sight , accompanied by great noise and fanfare . During this time , General Johnston was able to provide Magruder with reinforcements , but even then there were far fewer troops than McClellan believed were opposite him . After a month of preparation , just before he was to assault the Confederate works at Yorktown , McClellan learned that Johnston had withdrawn up the Peninsula towards Williamsburg . McClellan was thus required to give chase without any benefit of the heavy artillery so carefully amassed in front of Yorktown .", "16": "The Battle of Williamsburg on May 5 is considered a Union victory -- McClellan 's first -- but the Confederate army was not destroyed and a bulk of their troops were successfully moved past Williamsburg to Richmond 's outer defenses while the battle was waged and for several days thereafter . McClellan had also placed hopes on a simultaneous naval approach to Richmond via the James River . That approach failed following the Union Navy 's defeat at the Battle of Drewry 's Bluff , about 7 miles ( 11 km ) downstream from the Confederate capital , on May 15 . Basing artillery on a strategic bluff high above a bend in the river , and sinking boats to create an impassable series of obstacles in the river itself , the Confederates effectively blocked this potential approach to Richmond . McClellan 's army cautiously inched towards Richmond over the next three weeks , coming to within four miles ( 6 km ) of it . He established a supply base on the Pamunkey River ( a navigable tributary of the York River ) at White House Landing where the Richmond and York River Railroad extending to Richmond crossed , and commandeered the railroad , transporting steam locomotives and rolling stock to the site by barge . On May 31 , as McClellan planned an assault , his army was surprised by a Confederate attack . Johnston saw that the Union army was split in half by the rain - swollen Chickahominy River and hoped to defeat it in detail at Seven Pines and Fair Oaks . McClellan was unable to command the army personally because of a recurrence of malarial fever , but his subordinates were able to repel the attacks . Nevertheless , McClellan received criticism from Washington for not counterattacking , which some believed could have opened the city of Richmond to capture . Johnston was wounded in the battle , and General Robert E. Lee assumed command of the Army of Northern Virginia . McClellan spent the next three weeks repositioning his troops and waiting for promised reinforcements , losing valuable time as Lee continued to strengthen Richmond 's defenses . At the end of June , Lee began a series of attacks that became known as the Seven Days Battles . The first major battle , at Mechanicsville , was poorly coordinated by Lee and his subordinates and resulted in heavy casualties for little tactical gain .", "17": "However the battle had a significant impact on McClellan 's nerve . The surprise appearance of Maj. Gen. Stonewall Jackson 's troops in the battle ( when they had last been reported to be many miles away in the Shenandoah Valley ) convinced McClellan that he was even more outnumbered than he had thought . He reported to Washington that he faced 200,000 Confederates ( the actual number was 85,000 . ) Federal troops under heavy attack at the Battle of Gaines 's Mill , sketched by Alfred R. Waud and published in Harper 's Weekly , July 26 , 1862 As Lee continued his offensive at Gaines 's Mill to the east , McClellan played a passive role , taking no initiative and waiting for events to unfold . He kept two thirds of his army out of action , fooled again by Magruder 's theatrical diversionary tactics . That night , he decided to withdraw his army to a safer base , well below Richmond , on a portion of the James River that was under control of the Union Navy . In doing so , he may have unwittingly saved his army . Lee had assumed that the Union army would withdraw to the east toward its existing supply base and McClellan 's move to the south delayed Lee 's response for at least 24 hours . But McClellan was also tacitly acknowledging that he would no longer be able to invest Richmond , the object of his campaign ; the heavy siege artillery required would be almost impossible to transport without the railroad connections available from his original supply base on the York River . In a telegram to Secretary of War Edwin Stanton , reporting on these events , McClellan blamed the Lincoln administration for his reversals . `` If I save this army now , I tell you plainly I owe no thanks to you or to any other persons in Washington . You have done your best to sacrifice this army . '' Fortunately for McClellan , Lincoln never saw that inflammatory statement ( at least at that time ) because it was censored by the War Department telegrapher .", "18": "Wounded men after the Battle of Savage 's Station , one of the Seven Days Battles McClellan was also fortunate that the failure of the campaign left his army mostly intact , because he was generally absent from the fighting and neglected to name any second - in - command who might direct his retreat . Military historian Stephen W. Sears wrote , `` When he deserted his army on the Glendale and Malvern Hill battlefields during the Seven Days , he was guilty of dereliction of duty . Had the Army of the Potomac been wrecked on either of these fields ( at Glendale the possibility had been real ) , that charge under the Articles of War would likely have been brought against him . '' In the battle of Glendale , McClellan was five miles ( 8 km ) away behind Malvern Hill , without telegraph communications and too distant to command his army . In the battle of Malvern Hill , he was on a gunboat , the U.S.S. Galena , which at one point was ten miles ( 16 km ) away , down the James River . In both battles , effective command of the army fell to his friend and V Corps commander Brigadier General Fitz John Porter . When the public heard about the Galena , it was yet another great embarrassment , comparable to the Quaker Guns at Manassas . Editorial cartoons published in the course of the 1864 presidential campaign lampooned McClellan for having preferred the safety of a ship while a battle was fought in the distance . McClellan was reunited with his army at Harrison 's Landing on the James . Debates were held as to whether the army should be evacuated or attempt to resume an offensive toward Richmond . McClellan maintained his estrangement from Abraham Lincoln with his repeated call for reinforcements and by writing a lengthy letter in which he proposed strategic and political guidance for the war , continuing his opposition to abolition or seizure of slaves as a tactic . He concluded by implying he should be restored as general - in - chief , but Lincoln responded by naming Maj. Gen. Henry W. Halleck to the post without consulting , or even informing , McClellan . Lincoln and Stanton also offered command of the Army of the Potomac to Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside , who refused the appointment .", "19": "Back in Washington , a reorganization of units created the Army of Virginia under Maj. Gen. John Pope , who was directed to advance toward Richmond from the northeast . McClellan resisted calls to reinforce Pope 's army and delayed return of the Army of the Potomac from the Peninsula enough so that the reinforcements arrived while the Northern Virginia Campaign was already underway . He wrote to his wife before the battle , `` Pope will be thrashed ... & be disposed of ( by Lee ) ... Such a villain as he is ought to bring defeat upon any cause that employs him . '' Lee had assessed McClellan 's defensive nature and gambled on removing significant units from the Peninsula to attack Pope , who was beaten decisively at Second Bull Run in August . Maryland campaign ( edit ) McClellan riding through Frederick , Maryland , September 12 , 1862 ( From Frank Leslie 's Illustrated Newspaper ) Maryland Campaign , actions September 3 -- 15 , 1862 After the defeat of Pope at Second Bull Run , President Lincoln reluctantly returned to the man who had mended a broken army before . He realized that McClellan was a strong organizer and a skilled trainer of troops , able to recombine the units of Pope 's army with the Army of the Potomac faster than anyone . On September 2 , 1862 , Lincoln named McClellan to command `` the fortifications of Washington , and all the troops for the defense of the capital . '' The appointment was controversial in the Cabinet , a majority of whom signed a petition declaring to the president `` our deliberate opinion that , at this time , it is not safe to entrust to Major General McClellan the command of any Army of the United States . '' The president admitted that it was like `` curing the bite with the hair of the dog . '' But Lincoln told his secretary , John Hay , `` We must use what tools we have . There is no man in the Army who can man these fortifications and lick these troops of ours into shape half as well as he . If he ca n't fight himself , he excels in making others ready to fight . '' Northern fears of a continued offensive by Robert E. Lee were realized when he launched his Maryland Campaign on September 4 , hoping to arouse pro-Southern sympathy in the slave state of Maryland .", "20": "McClellan 's pursuit began on September 5 . He marched toward Maryland with six of his reorganized corps , about 84,000 men , while leaving two corps behind to defend Washington . McClellan 's reception in Frederick , Maryland , as he marched towards Lee 's army , was described by the correspondent for Harper 's Magazine : The General rode through the town on a trot , and the street was filled six or eight deep with his staff and guard riding on behind him . The General had his head uncovered , and received gracefully the salutations of the people . Old ladies and men wept for joy , and scores of beautiful ladies waved flags from the balconies of houses upon the street , and their joyousness seemed to overcome every other emotion . When the General came to the corner of the principal street the ladies thronged around him . Bouquets , beautiful and fragrant , in great numbers were thrown at him , and the ladies crowded around him with the warmest good wishes , and many of them were entirely overcome with emotion . I have never witnessed such a scene . The General took the gentle hands which were offered to him with many a kind and pleasing remark , and heard and answered the many remarks and compliments with which the people accosted him . It was a scene which no one could forget -- an event of a lifetime . Lee divided his forces into multiple columns , spread apart widely as he moved into Maryland and also maneuvered to capture the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry . This was a risky move for a smaller army , but Lee was counting on his knowledge of McClellan 's temperament . He told one of his generals , `` He is an able general but a very cautious one . His army is in a very demoralized and chaotic condition , and will not be prepared for offensive operations -- or he will not think it so -- for three or four weeks . Before that time I hope to be on the Susquehanna . '' This was not a completely accurate assessment , but McClellan 's army was moving lethargically , averaging only 6 miles ( 9.7 km ) a day . However , McClellan soon received a miraculous break of fortune . Union soldiers accidentally found a copy of Lee 's orders dividing his army , wrapped around a package of cigars in an abandoned camp .", "21": "They delivered the order to McClellan 's headquarters in Frederick on September 13 . Upon realizing the intelligence value of this discovery , McClellan threw up his arms and exclaimed , `` Now I know what to do ! '' He waved the order at his old Army friend , Brig. Gen. John Gibbon , and said , `` Here is a paper with which if I can not whip Bobbie Lee , I will be willing to go home . '' He telegraphed President Lincoln : `` I have the whole rebel force in front of me , but I am confident , and no time shall be lost . I think Lee has made a gross mistake , and that he will be severely punished for it . I have all the plans of the rebels , and will catch them in their own trap if my men are equal to the emergency ... Will send you trophies . '' Battle of South Mountain ( edit ) Battle of South Mountain Despite this show of bravado , McClellan continued his cautious line . After telegraphing to the president at noon on September 13 , rather than ordering his units to set out for the South Mountain passes immediately , he ordered them to depart the following morning . The 18 hours of delay allowed Lee time to react , because he received intelligence from a Confederate sympathizer that McClellan knew of his plans . ( The delay also doomed the federal garrison at Harpers Ferry because the relief column McClellan sent could not reach them before they surrendered to Stonewall Jackson . ) In the Battle of South Mountain , McClellan 's army was able to punch through the defended passes that separated them from Lee , but also gave Lee enough time to concentrate many of his men at Sharpsburg , Maryland . The Battle of South Mountain presented McClellan with an opportunity for one of the great theatrical moments of his career , as historian Sears describes : The mountain ahead was wreathed in smoke eddies of battle smoke in which the gun flashes shone like brief hot sparks .", "22": "The opposing battle lines on the heights were marked by heavier layers of smoke , and columns of Federal troops were visible winding their way up the mountainside , each column ... looking like a ' monstrous , crawling , blue - black snake ' ... McClellan posed against this spectacular backdrop , sitting motionless astride his warhorse Dan Webster with his arm extended , pointing Hooker 's passing troops toward the battle . The men cheered him until they were hoarse ... and some broke ranks to swarm around the martial figure and indulge in the ' most extravagant demonstrations ' . The Union army reached Antietam Creek , to the east of Sharpsburg , on the evening of September 15 . A planned attack on September 16 was put off because of early morning fog , allowing Lee to prepare his defenses with an army less than half the size of McClellan 's .

George Armstrong Custer The Battle of Antietam on September 17 , 1862 , was the single bloodiest day in American military history . The outnumbered Confederate forces fought desperately and well . Despite significant advantages in manpower , McClellan was unable to concentrate his forces effectively , which meant that Lee was able to shift his defenders to parry each of three Union thrusts , launched separately and sequentially against the Confederate left , center , and finally the right . McClellan was also unwilling , due to Porter 's opinion , to employ his ample reserve forces to capitalize on localized successes . Historian James M. McPherson has pointed out that the two corps McClellan kept in reserve were in fact larger than Lee 's entire force . The reason for McClellan 's reluctance was that , as in previous battles , he was convinced he was outnumbered .", "23": "Lincoln in McClellan 's tent after the Battle of Antietam The battle was tactically inconclusive , although Lee technically was defeated because he withdrew first from the battlefield and retreated back to Virginia . McClellan wired to Washington , `` Our victory was complete . The enemy is driven back into Virginia . '' Yet there was obvious disappointment that McClellan had not crushed Lee , who was fighting with a smaller army with its back to the Potomac River . Although McClellan 's subordinates can claim their share of responsibility for delays ( such as Ambrose Burnside 's misadventures at Burnside Bridge ) and blunders ( Edwin V. Sumner 's attack without reconnaissance ) , these were localized problems from which the full army could have recovered . As with the decisive battles in the Seven Days , McClellan 's headquarters were too far to the rear to allow his personal control over the battle . He made no use of his cavalry forces for reconnaissance . He did not share his overall battle plans with his corps commanders , which prevented them from using initiative outside of their sectors . And he was far too willing to accept cautious advice about saving his reserves , such as when a significant breakthrough in the center of the Confederate line could have been exploited , but Fitz John Porter is said to have told McClellan , `` Remember , General , I command the last reserve of the last Army of the Republic . '' Despite being a tactical draw , Antietam is considered a turning point of the war and a victory for the Union because it ended Lee 's strategic campaign ( his first invasion of the North ) and it allowed President Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22 , taking effect on January 1 , 1863 . Although Lincoln had intended to issue the proclamation earlier , he was advised by his Cabinet to wait until a Union victory to avoid the perception that it was issued out of desperation . The Union victory and Lincoln 's proclamation played a considerable role in dissuading the governments of France and Britain from recognizing the Confederacy ; some suspected they were planning to do so in the aftermath of another Union defeat . McClellan had no prior knowledge that the plans for emancipation rested on his battle performance .", "24": "Because McClellan failed to pursue Lee aggressively after Antietam , Lincoln ordered that he be removed from command on November 5 , 1862 . Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside assumed command of the Army of the Potomac on November 9 , 1862 . McClellan wrote to his wife , `` Those in whose judgment I rely tell me that I fought the battle splendidly and that it was a masterpiece of art ... I feel I have done all that can be asked in twice saving the country ... I feel some little pride in having , with a beaten & demoralized army , defeated Lee so utterly ... Well , one of these days history will I trust do me justice .

Grant became general - in - chief , he discussed returning McClellan to an unspecified position . But all of these opportunities were impossible , given the opposition within the administration and the knowledge that McClellan posed a potential political threat . McClellan worked for months on a lengthy report describing his two major campaigns and his successes in organizing the Army , replying to his critics and justifying his actions by accusing the administration of undercutting him and denying him necessary reinforcements . The War Department was reluctant to publish his report because , just after completing it in October 1863 , McClellan openly declared his entrance to the political stage as a Democrat .", "25": "Cartoon of McClellan used by his political opponents in 1864 presidential campaign McClellan was nominated by the Democrats to run against Abraham Lincoln in the 1864 U.S. presidential election . Following the example of Winfield Scott , he ran as a U.S. Army general still on active duty ; he did not resign his commission until election day , November 8 , 1864 . McClellan supported continuation of the war and restoration of the Union ( but not the abolition of slavery ) , but the party platform , written by Copperhead leader Clement Vallandigham of Ohio , was opposed to this position . The platform called for an immediate cessation of hostilities and a negotiated settlement with the Confederacy . McClellan was forced to repudiate the platform , which made his campaign inconsistent and difficult . He also was not helped by the party 's choice for vice president , George H. Pendleton , a peace candidate from Ohio . The deep division in the party , the unity of the Republicans ( running under the label `` National Union Party '' ) , the absence of a large portion of the Democrats ' base ( the South ) from the voter pool , and the military successes by Union forces in the fall of 1864 doomed McClellan 's candidacy . Lincoln won the election handily , with 212 Electoral College votes to 21 and a popular vote of 2,218,388 to 1,812,807 or 55 % to 45 % . For all his popularity with the troops , McClellan failed to secure their support and the military vote went to Lincoln nearly 3 -- 1 . Lincoln 's share of the vote in the Army of the Potomac was 70 % . Postbellum years ( edit ) At the conclusion of the war , McClellan and his family went to Europe ( not returning until 1868 ) , during which he did not participate in politics . When he returned , the Democratic Party expressed some interest in nominating him for president again , but when it became clear that Ulysses S. Grant would be the Republican candidate , this interest died . McClellan worked on engineering projects in New York City and was offered the position of president of the newly formed University of California .", "26": "McClellan photographed by William S. Warren , circa 1880 McClellan was appointed chief engineer of the New York City Department of Docks in 1870 . Evidently the position did not demand his full - time attention because , starting in 1872 , he also served as the president of the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad . He and his family then embarked on another three - year stay in Europe ( 1873 -- 75 ) In March 1877 , McClellan was nominated by Governor Lucius Robinson to be the first Superintendent of Public Works but was rejected by the New York State Senate as being `` incompetent for the position . '' In 1877 , McClellan was nominated by the Democrats for Governor of New Jersey , an action that took him by surprise because he had not expressed an interest in the position . He accepted the nomination , was elected , and served a single term from 1878 to 1881 , a tenure marked by careful , conservative executive management and minimal political rancor . The concluding chapter of his political career was his strong support in 1884 for the election of Grover Cleveland . He sought the position of secretary of war in Cleveland 's cabinet , for which he was well qualified , but political rivals from New Jersey were able to block his nomination . McClellan 's final years were devoted to traveling and writing , including his memoirs McClellan 's Own Story ( published posthumously in 1887 ) , in which he stridently defended his conduct during the war . He died unexpectedly of a heart attack at age 58 at Orange , New Jersey , after suffering from chest pains for a few weeks . His final words , at 3 a.m. , October 29 , 1885 , were , `` I feel easy now . Thank you . '' He was buried at Riverview Cemetery , Trenton , New Jersey . McClellan 's son , George B. McClellan Jr. ( 1865 -- 1940 ) , was born in Dresden , Kingdom of Saxony , during the family 's first trip to Europe . Known within the family as Max , he was also a politician , serving as a United States Representative from New York State and as Mayor of New York City from 1904 to 1909 .", "27": "McClellan 's daughter , Mary ( `` May '' ) ( 1861 -- 1945 ) , married a French diplomat and spent much of her life abroad . McClellan 's wife , Ellen , died in Nice , France , while visiting May at her home `` Villa Antietam '' . Neither Max nor May had any children of their own . Legacy ( edit ) Major General George B. McClellan on Connecticut Avenue in Washington , D.C. McClellan statue in front of Philadelphia City Hall The New York Evening Post commented in McClellan 's obituary , `` Probably no soldier who did so little fighting has ever had his qualities as a commander so minutely , and we may add , so fiercely discussed . '' This fierce discussion has continued for over a century . McClellan is usually ranked in the lowest tier of Civil War generals . However , the debate over McClellan 's ability and talents remains the subject of much controversy among Civil War and military historians . He has been universally praised for his organizational abilities and for his very good relations with his troops . They referred to him affectionately as `` Little Mac '' ; others sometimes called him the `` Young Napoleon '' . It has been suggested that his reluctance to enter battle was caused in part by an intense desire to avoid spilling the blood of his men . Ironically , this led to failing to take the initiative against the enemy and therefore passing up good opportunities for decisive victories , which could have ended the war early , and thereby could have spared thousands of soldiers who died in those subsequent battles . Generals who proved successful in the war , such as Lee and Grant , tended to be more aggressive and more willing to risk a major battle even when all preparations were not perfect . McClellan himself summed up his cautious nature in a draft of his memoirs : It has always been my opinion that the true course in conducting military operations , is to make no movement until the preparations are as complete as circumstances permit , & never to fight a battle without some definite object worth the probable loss . McClellan 's reluctance to press his enemy aggressively was probably not a matter of personal courage , which he demonstrated well enough by his bravery under fire in the Mexican -- American War .", "28": "However , his initiative on the battlefield was not so decisive , as Stephen Sears wrote , There is indeed ample evidence that the terrible stresses of commanding men in battle , especially the beloved men of his beloved Army of the Potomac , left his moral courage in tatters . Under the pressure of his ultimate soldier 's responsibility , the will to command deserted him . Glendale and Malvern Hill found him at the peak of his anguish during the Seven Days , and he fled those fields to escape the responsibility . At Antietam , where there was nowhere for him to flee to , he fell into a paralysis of indecision . Seen from a longer perspective , General McClellan could be both comfortable and successful performing as executive officer , and also , if somewhat less successfully , as grand strategist ; as battlefield commander , however , he was simply in the wrong profession . One of the reasons that McClellan 's reputation has suffered is his own memoirs . Historian Allan Nevins wrote , `` Students of history must always be grateful McClellan so frankly exposed his own weaknesses in this posthumous book . '' Doris Kearns Goodwin claims that a review of his personal correspondence during the war reveals a tendency for self - aggrandizement and unwarranted self - congratulation . His original draft was completed in 1881 , but the only copy was destroyed by fire . He began to write another draft of what would be published posthumously , in 1887 , as McClellan 's Own Story . However , he died before it was half completed and his literary executor , William C. Prime , editor of the pro-McClellan New York Journal of Commerce , included excerpts from some 250 of McClellan 's wartime letters to his wife , in which it had been his habit to reveal his innermost feelings and opinions in unbridled fashion . Robert E. Lee , on being asked ( by his cousin , and recorded by his son ) who was the ablest general on the Union side during the late war , replied emphatically : `` McClellan , by all odds ! ''", "29": "While McClellan 's reputation has suffered over time , especially over the later half of the 20th century , there is a small but intense cadre of American Civil War historians who believe that the general has been poorly served in at least four regards . First , McClellan proponents say that because the general was a conservative Democrat with great personal charisma , radical Republicans fearing his political potential deliberately undermined his field operations . Second , that as the radical Republicans were the true winners coming out of the American Civil War , they were able to write its history , placing their principal political rival of the time , McClellan , in the worst possible light . Third , that historians eager to jump on the bandwagon of Lincoln as America 's greatest political icon worked to outdo one another in shifting blame for early military failures from Lincoln and Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton to McClellan . And fourth , that Lincoln and Stanton deliberately undermined McClellan because of his conciliatory stance towards the South , which might have resulted in a less destructive end to the war had Richmond fallen as a result of the Peninsula Campaign . Proponents of this school claim that McClellan is criticized more for his admittedly abrasive personality than for his actual field performance . Several geographic features and establishments have been named for George B. McClellan . These include Fort McClellan in Alabama , McClellan Butte in the Mount Baker - Snoqualmie National Forest , where he traveled while conducting the Pacific Railroad Survey in 1853 , and a bronze equestrian statue honoring General McClellan in Washington , D.C. Another equestrian statue honors him in front of Philadelphia City Hall , while the McClellan Gate at Arlington National Cemetery is dedicated to him and displays his name . McClellan Park in Milbridge , Maine , was donated to the town by the general 's son with the stipulation that it be named for the general . The Fire Department of New York operated a fireboat named George B. McClellan from 1904 to 1954 . While this vessel is sometimes said to be named after the General , it was actually named after his son , who was Mayor of New York City , when the vessel was launched .", "30": "Electoral History ( edit ) 1864 Democratic National Convention : George B.

The chief city , Salamina , lies in the west - facing core of the crescent on Salamis Bay , which opens into the Saronic Gulf . On the Eastern side of the island is its main port , Paloukia , in size second in Greece only to Piraeus , the port of Athens .", "1": "Contents ( hide ) 1 Name 2 History 3 Geography 4 Municipality 5 Population 6 Villages in the municipal unit of Salamina 6.1 Paloukia 6.2 Aianteio 6.3 Batsi 6.4 Kaki Vigla 6.5 Agios Georgios 6.6 Peristeria 6.7 Psili Ammos 6.8 Steno 6.9 Vasilika 6.10 Xeno 7 Villages in the municipal unit of Ampelakia 7.1 Kynosoura 7.2 Selinia 8 Culture 8.1 Education 8.2 Recreational areas 8.3 Sports 8.4 Local newspapers and magazines 9 Landmarks 10 Noted people 10.1 Mythological and ancient people 10.2 Modern people 11 Twin towns / sister cities 12 Gallery 13 See also 14 References 15 External links Name ( edit ) The traditional etymology of Salamis derives it from the eponymous nymph Salamis , the mother of Cychreus , the legendary first king of the island . A more modern theory considers `` Salamis '' to come from the root sal ' salt ' and - amis ' middle ' ; thus Salamis would be the place amid salt water . Some scholars connect it to the Semitic root Š - L-M ' health , safety , peace ' , because of the well - sheltered harbor . From at least the 13th century until the 19th century , the town , the island , and the bay of Salamis were called Koulouri ( Κουλούρι ) , presumably because it was round like the bread called ' koulouri ' . The ancient name was revived in the 19th century . The name Koulouri is still used informally for the town . History ( edit ) Coin of Salamis , 339 -- 318 BC . Obverse : Female head . Reverse : Boeotian shield ( shield of Ajax ) and sword in sheath Salamis is mentioned in Homer 's writings .", "2": "Salamis was probably first colonised by Aegina and later occupied by Megara , but became an Athenian possession in the time of Solon or Peisistratos , following the war between Athens and Megara around 600 BC . According to Strabo , the ancient capital was at the south of the island ; in classical times it was to the east , on the Kamatero Peninsula overlooking the Strait of Salamis ; in modern times it is on the west . According to Homer 's Iliad , Salamis took part in the Trojan War with twelve ships under the leadership of Ajax ( Aias ) . Salamis island is known for the Battle of Salamis , the decisive naval victory of the allied Greek fleet , led by Themistocles , over the Persian Empire in 480 BC . It is said to be the birthplace of Ajax and Euripides , the latter 's birth being popularly placed on the day of the battle . In modern times , it is home to Salamis Naval Base , headquarters for the Hellenic Navy . The oldest known counting board was discovered on Salamis Island in 1899 . It is thought to have been used by the Babylonians in about 300 BC and is more of a gaming board rather than a calculating device . It is marble , about 150 cm × 75 cm × 4.5 cm ( 59 in × 30 in × 2 in ) , and has carved Greek symbols and parallel grooves . During the German invasion of Greece in World War II , the harbor was bombed by the Luftwaffe on April 23 , 1941 , sinking the Greek battleships Kilkis and Lemnos . In the 1960s and 1970s , during the military junta period , changes in land legislation allowed the subdivision of land plots . This opened the island to massive unplanned and unregulated urban and suburban development , including many weekend homes , especially along the northern and eastern coasts . The lack of corresponding investment in infrastructure , combined with heavy industry , has led to sea and beach pollution on this side of the island . There are , however , ongoing initiatives such as help from the European Union 's Cohesion Fund toward improving sewerage by 2008 .", "3": "Salamis island map An oil spill occurred off the coast of Salamis Island in September 2017 . Geography ( edit ) Salamis has an area of 36 square miles ( 93 km ) ; its highest point is Mavrovouni at 1,325 feet ( 404 metres ) . A significant part of Salamis Island is rocky and mountainous . On the southern part of the island a pine forest is located , which is unusual for western Attica . Unfortunately , this forest is often a target for fires . While the inland inhabitants are mainly employed within the agricultural sector , the majority of Salamis ' inhabitants work in maritime occupations ( fishing , ferries , and the island 's shipyards ) or commute to work in Athens . The maritime industry is focused on the north - east coast of the island at the port of Paloukia ( Παλούκια ) , where ferries to mainland Greece are based , and in the dockyards of Ampelakia and the north side of the Kynosoura peninsula . Salamis Island is very popular for holiday and weekend visits from the Athens and Piraeus area ; its population rises to 300,000 in peak season of which c. 31,000 are permanent inhabitants . This supports a strong service industry sector , with many cafes , bars , ouzeries , tavernas and consumer goods shops throughout the island . On the south of the island , away from the port , there are a number of less developed areas with good swimming beaches including those of Aianteio , Maroudi , Perani , Peristeria , Kolones , Saterli , Selenia and Kanakia . Municipality ( edit ) Salamis Island belongs to the Islands regional unit of the Attica region . Since the 2011 local government reform the island is administered as one municipality .", "4": "Before , the island was divided into two municipalities , that became municipal units at the reform : Salamina Ampelakia In the municipal unit of Salamina , which has a land area of 80.992 square kilometres ( 31.271 sq mi ) and a 2011 census population of 31,776 , the chief population centre is the city of Salamina ( also called Salamis , Salamis City or Koulouris , pop . 25,888 in 2011 ) , consisting of the districts Alonia , Agios Minas , Agios Dimitrios , Agios Nikolaos , Boskos , Nea Salamina , Tsami and Vourkari . Its second - largest town is Aiánteio ( pop . 5,888 ) . In the municipal unit of Ampelakia , which has a land area of 15.169 square kilometres ( 5.857 sq mi ) and a population of 7,507 , the largest towns are Ampelakia ( pop. 4,998 ) and Selinia ( 2,509 ) . Population ( edit ) As of the mid-20th century , the majority of the inhabitants were Arvanite ; a thing that changed during the past 20 years due to settlement of a lot of Athenians on the island to the degree that nowadays Arvanites are a fraction of the population , living mainly in Salamina town , Ampelakia and Moulki ( Aianteion ) . The island is known in Arvanitika as Κȣλλȣρι ( `` Koullouri '' ) .", "5": "Year Salamina ( town ) Salamina ( municipal unit ) Salamis ( island ) 1981 20,807 25,215 30,402 1991 22,567 27,582 34,342 25,730 30,962 38,022 2011 25,888 31,776 39,283 Villages in the municipal unit of Salamina ( edit ) Salamis Naval Base Batsi beach Paloukia ( edit ) Paloukia ( Greek : Παλούκια , population 1,695 ) is located in the northeast of the island . Many ferryboats , fishing vessels and port police craft dock in this harbor . Paloukia is the base for the port police department of Salamina . Most visitors who come to Salamina first arrive at Paloukia via ferryboats that run between Paloukia and Perama or Piraeus . The area is adjacent to the Salamis Naval Base ( in Greek Nafstathmos ) , which is a major base of the Hellenic Navy . Aianteio ( edit ) Aianteio ( Greek : Αιάντειο , population 4,860 as of March 16 , 2011 ) is a large village in the southwestern part of Salamis Island and is named after Ajax , `` King of the Salamis '' , from Homer 's Iliad . The village was known as Moulki ( Μούλκι ) until 1915 . In the region , there are churches from the 11th and 12th centuries such as Saint John and Saint Dimitrios . Interesting places to visit are : the oldest church in the island , Saint John the `` Kalyvitis '' , which dates back to the 10th century and has remarkable hagiographies the monastery of Saint Nicolas which dates back to the 18th century and is situated in a forest .", "6": "Batsi ( edit ) Batsi ( Greek : Μπατσί ) is a little community ( population 212 ) in the north of Salamis , in the municipality of Salamis , located at the foot of a piney mountain , about 6 to 8 km ( 4 to 5 mi ) east of Megara . In the mountain , there is a cave of archeological interest that has not been investigated yet . In the winter there are few tourists ; it is more popular with vacationers from Athens during the summer months . Kaki Vigla ( edit ) The Stone Lighthouse , 1901 , Peristeria Kaki Vigla ( Greek : Κακή Βίγλα ) is a small community ( population 236 ) located at the south of Salamis Island , near Aianteio . The beaches of Kaki Vigla are relatively clean and the area has pine and olive trees near the shore . Agios Georgios ( edit ) A new village , founded in 1960 . Peristeria ( edit ) Peristeria ( Greek : Περιστέρια , population 456 ) is a small village in the southeast of the island 45 km ( 28 mi ) from Salamis City . It took its name from the bird of peace , the dove ( Greek : περιστέρι ) , because it is a calm , peaceful and isolated place , away from the cars and from noise . Another interpretation says that its name may be derived from the doves which were living and had nests in the area . View of Salamina The area has a marina , which has yachts and fishing boats . The beaches of Peristeria are the cleanest of Salamis . The village is near the Cave of Euripides , associated with the famous ancient playwright . Psili Ammos ( edit ) Psili Ammos ( Greek : Ψιλή Άμμος , population 271 ) , which means Fine Sand is so named because it is covered with sand . The area is located at the northwest of the island opposite of Elefsina . In the area there is one of the oldest landmarks , the chantry of Saint Grigorios ( Saint Gregory ) .", "7": "Steno ( edit ) Steno ( Greek : Στενό , population 985 ) , which means Narrow in Greek , is a small community in the northwest of Salamis Island . The area is separated from Fanaromeni Monastery by a hill with shrubs and pine trees . The area is adjacent to the bay of Agios Georgios . Steno has wide and well - planned roads . Aianteio Beach Vasilika ( edit ) Vasilika ( Greek : Βασιλικά , population 4,264 ) which means Royal is a big village located in the northwest of the island . Vasilika is the third largest area in Salamis by population after Salamis City and Aianteio . Vasilika has a sandy large beach apt for swimming . Xeno ( edit ) Xeno ( Greek : Ξένο `` foreign '' , population 786 ) is located in the northwest corner of the island . The area was so named because the first residents were not from Salamis but from nearby Piraeus . Villages in the municipal unit of Ampelakia ( edit ) Ruins of ancient classical city and the port of Salamis ( 5th to 2nd BC ) Ampelakia Main article : Ampelakia Kynosoura ( edit ) Kynosoura ( Greek : Κυνόσουρα ) ( Greek : κυνός - ουρά `` dog 's tail '' ) is a small peninsula located in the east of the island . The name probably comes from the shape of the peninsula , long and thin and pointed at the end . In the south are a few houses ( population 69 ) . In the north are the remains of an ancient tumulus thought to be the burial site of Greek warriors in the Battle of Salamis . Nearby is a dockyard , which constructs and fixes ships including oil tankers and containers . Selinia ( edit ) Selinia ( Greek : Σελήνια , population 2.523 ) is a resort located a few kilometers southeast of Salamis city . Selinia once was the weekend resort of many Athenians due to its proximity to Piraeus and Athens .", "8": "Selinia also features restaurants and taverns Folklore Museum & Salamina Municipal Library .

( September 2017 ) `` Send In the Clowns '' is a song written by Stephen Sondheim for the 1973 musical A Little Night Music , an adaptation of Ingmar Bergman 's film Smiles of a Summer Night . It is a ballad from Act Two , in which the character Desirée reflects on the ironies and disappointments of her life . Among other things , she looks back on an affair years earlier with the lawyer Fredrik , who was deeply in love with her but whose marriage proposals she had rejected . Meeting him after so long , she realizes she is in love with him and finally ready to marry him , but now it is he who rejects her : he is in an unconsummated marriage with a much younger woman . Desirée proposes marriage to rescue him from this situation , but he declines , citing his dedication to his bride . Reacting to his rejection , Desirée sings this song . The song is later reprised as a coda after Fredrik 's young wife runs away with his son , and Fredrik is finally free to accept Desirée 's offer . Sondheim wrote the song specifically for the actress Glynis Johns , who created the role of Desirée on Broadway . The song is structured with four verses and a bridge , and uses a complex compound meter . It became Sondheim 's most popular song after Frank Sinatra recorded it in 1973 and Judy Collins ' version charted in 1975 and 1977 . Subsequently , numerous other artists recorded the song , and it has become a jazz standard .", "1": "Contents ( hide ) 1 Meaning of title 2 Context 3 Score 3.1 History 3.2 Lyrics 3.3 Meter and key 4 Styles 5 Popular success 6 Other versions and parodies 7 References 8 External links Meaning of title ( edit ) The `` clowns '' in the title do not refer to circus clowns . Instead , they symbolize fools , as Sondheim explained in a 1990 interview : I get a lot of letters over the years asking what the title means and what the song 's about ; I never thought it would be in any way esoteric . I wanted to use theatrical imagery in the song , because she 's an actress , but it 's not supposed to be a circus ( ... ) ( I ) t 's a theater reference meaning `` if the show is n't going well , let 's send in the clowns '' ; in other words , `` let 's do the jokes . '' I always want to know , when I 'm writing a song , what the end is going to be , so `` Send in the Clowns '' did n't settle in until I got the notion , `` Do n't bother , they 're here '' , which means that `` We are the fools . '' In a 2008 interview , Sondheim further clarified : As I think of it now , the song could have been called `` Send in the Fools '' . I knew I was writing a song in which Desirée is saying , `` are n't we foolish '' or `` are n't we fools ? '' Well , a synonym for fools is clowns , but `` Send in the Fools '' does n't have the same ring to it . Context ( edit ) Main article : A Little Night Music Judi Dench , who performed the role of Desirée in London , commented on the context of the song during an interview with Alan Titchmarsh .", "2": "The play is `` a dark play about people who , at the beginning , are with wrong partners and in the end it is hopefully going to become right , and she ( Desirée ) mistimes her life in a way and realizes when she re-meets the man she had an affair with and had a child by ( though he does not know that ) , that she loves him and he is the man she wants . '' Some years before the play begins , Desirée was a young , attractive actress , whose passions were the theater and romance . She lived her life dramatically , flitting from man to man . Fredrik was one of her many lovers and fell deeply in love with Desirée , but she declined to marry him . The play implies that when they parted Desirée may have been pregnant with his child . A few months before the play begins , Fredrik married a beautiful young woman who at 18 years old was much younger than he . In Act One , Fredrik meets Desirée again , and is introduced to her daughter , a precocious adolescent suggestively named Fredrika . Fredrik explains to Desirée that he is now married to a young woman he loves very much , but that she is still a virgin , continuing to refuse to have sex with him . Desirée and Fredrik then make love . Act Two begins days later , and Desirée realizes that she truly loves Fredrik . She tells Fredrik that he needs to be rescued from his marriage , and she proposes to him . Fredrik explains to Desirée that he has been swept off the ground and is `` in the air '' in love with his beautiful , young wife , and apologizes for having misled her . Desirée remains sitting on the bed ; depending on the production , Fredrik walks across the room or stays seated on the bed next to her . Desirée -- feeling both intense sadness and anger , at herself , her life and her choices -- sings `` Send in the Clowns '' . She is , in effect , using the song `` to cover over a moment when something has gone wrong on stage .", "3": "Midway through the second Act she has deviated from her usual script by suggesting to Fredrik the possibility of being together seriously and permanently , and , having been rejected , she falters as a show - person , finds herself bereft of the capacity to improvise and wittily cover . If Desirée could perform at this moment -- revert to the innuendos , one - liners and blithe self - referential humour that constitutes her normal character -- all would be well . She can not , and what follows is an exemplary manifestation of Sondheim 's musico - dramatic complexity , his inclination to write music that performs drama . That is , what needs to be covered over ( by the clowns sung about in the song ) is the very intensity , ragged emotion and utter vulnerability that comes forward through the music and singing itself , a display protracted to six minutes , wrought with exposed silences , a shocked Fredrik sitting so uncomfortably before Desirée while something much too real emerges in a realm where he -- and his audience -- felt assured of performance . '' Not long thereafter , Fredrik 's young wife runs away with his son , so he is free to accept Desirée 's proposal , and the song is reprised as a coda . Score ( edit ) History ( edit ) Sondheim wrote the lyrics and music over a two - day period during rehearsals for the play 's Broadway debut , specifically for the actress Glynis Johns , who created the role of Desirée . According to Sondheim , `` Glynis had a lovely , crystal voice , but sustaining notes was not her thing . I wanted to write short phrases , so I wrote a song full of questions '' and the song 's melody is within a small music range : We hired Glynis Johns to play the lead , though she had a nice little silvery voice . But I 'd put all the vocal weight of the show on the other characters because we needed somebody who was glamorous , charming and could play light comedy , and pretty , and to find that in combination with a good voice is very unlikely , but she had all the right qualities and a nice little voice . So I did n't write much for her and I did n't write anything in the second act .", "4": "And the big scene between her and her ex-lover , I had started on a song for him because it 's his scene . And Hal Prince , who directed it , said he thought that the second act needed a song for her , and this was the scene to do it in . And so he directed the scene in such a way that even though the dramatic thrust comes from the man 's monologue , and she just sits there and reacts , he directed it so you could feel the weight going to her reaction rather than his action . And I went down and saw it and it seemed very clear what was needed , and so that made it very easy to write . And then I wrote it for her voice , because she could n't sustain notes . Was n't that kind of singing voice . So I knew I had to write things in short phrases , and that led to questions , and so again , I would n't have written a song so quickly if I had n't known the actress ... I wrote most of it one night and finished part of the second chorus , and I 'd gotten the ending ... ( T ) he whole thing was done in two days . Lyrics ( edit ) The lyrics of the song are written in four verses and a bridge and sung by Desirée . As Sondheim explains , Desirée experiences both deep regret and furious anger : `` Send in the Clowns '' was never meant to be a soaring ballad ; it 's a song of regret . And it 's a song of a lady who is too upset and too angry to speak -- meaning to sing for a very long time . She is furious , but she does n't want to make a scene in front of Fredrik because she recognizes that his obsession with his 18 - year - old wife is unbreakable . So she gives up ; so it 's a song of regret and anger , and therefore fits in with short - breathed phrases . Meter and key ( edit ) The song was originally performed in the key of D flat major . The song uses an unusual and complex meter , which alternates between 12 / 8 and 9 / 8 . These are two complex compound meters that evoke the sense of a waltz used throughout the score of the show .", "5": "Sondheim tells the story : When I worked with Leonard Bernstein on West Side Story , one of the things I learned from him was not always necessarily to think in terms of 2 - , 4 - and 8 - bar phrases . I was already liberated enough before I met him not to be sticking to 32 - bar songs , but I tend to think square . I tend to think ... it 's probably because I was brought up on mid-19th and late - 19th Century music , and you know it 's fairly square ; there are not an awful lot of meter changes . You often will shorten or lengthen a bar for rhythmic purposes and for energy , but ... when you switch in the middle ( of a song ) , particularly when it 's a modest song , when you 're not writing an aria , you know ... ( I mean , ) if you 're writing something like Sweeney Todd , where people sing at great length , you expect switches of meter , because it helps variety . But in a little 36 - or 40 - bar song , to switch meters around is almost perverse , because the song does n't get a chance to establish its own rhythm . But the problem is , what would you do ? : Would you go , `` Is n't it rich ? ( two , three ) Are we a pair ? ( two , three ) Me here at last on the ground ( three ) , you in mid-air . '' Lenny ( Bernstein ) taught me to think in terms of , `` Do you really need the extra beat ( after ' ground ' ) or not . '' Just because you 've got four bars of four , if you come across a bar that does n't need the extra beat , then put a bar of three in . So ... the 9 ( beat bars ) and 12 ( beat bars ) that alternate in that song were not so much consciously arrived at as they were by the emotionality of the lyric . Styles ( edit ) `` Send in the Clowns '' is performed in two completely different styles : dramatic and lyric . The dramatic style is the theatrical performance by Desirée , and this style emphasizes Desirée 's feelings of anger and regret , and the dramatic style acts as a cohesive part of the play .", "6": "The lyric style is the concert performance , and this style emphasizes the sweetness of the melody and the poetry of the lyrics . Most performances are in concert , so they emphasize the beauty of the melody and lyrics . Sondheim teaches both dramatic and lyric performers several important elements for an accurate rendition : The dramatic performer must take on the character of Desirée : a woman who finally realizes that she has misspent her youth on the shallow life . She is both angry and sad , and both must be seen in the performance . Two important examples are the contrast between the lines , `` Quick , send in the clowns '' and `` Well , maybe next year . '' Sondheim teaches that the former should be steeped in self - loathing , while the latter should emphasize regret . Thus , the former is clipped , with a break between `` quick '' and `` send , '' while the latter `` well '' is held pensively . Sondheim himself apologizes for flaws in his composition . For example , in the line , `` Well , maybe next year , '' the melodic emphasis is on the word year but the dramatic emphasis must be on the word next : The word `` next '' is important : `` Maybe next year '' as opposed to `` this year '' . ( Desirée means , ) `` All right , I 've screwed it up this year . Maybe next year I 'll do something right in my life . '' So ( it 's ) `` well , maybe next year '' even though it is n't accented in the music . This is a place where the lyric and the music are n't as apposite as they might be , because the important word is `` next '' , and yet the accented word is `` year '' . That 's my fault , but ( something the performer must ) overcome . Another example arises from Sondheim 's roots as a speaker of American rather than British English : The line `` Do n't you love farce ? '' features two juxtaposed labiodental fricative sounds ( the former ( v ) voiced , the latter ( f ) devoiced ) . American concert and stage performers will often fail to `` breathe '' and / or `` voice '' between the two fricatives , leading audiences familiar with British slang to hear `` Do n't you love arse ?", "7": ", '' misinterpreting the lyric or at the least perceiving an unintended double entendre . Sondheim agrees that `` ( i ) t 's an awkward moment in the lyric , but that v and that f should be separated . '' In the line of the fourth verse , `` I thought that you 'd want what I want . Sorry , my dear , '' the performer must communicate the connection between the `` want '' and the `` sorry '' . Similarly , Sondheim insists that performers separately enunciate the adjacent t 's in the line , `` There ought to be clowns . '' Popular success ( edit ) The musical , with the song , debuted on Broadway in 1973 . The song became popular with theater audiences but had not become a pop hit . Sondheim explained how the song became a hit : First of all , it was n't a hit for two years . I mean , the first person to sing it was Bobby Short , who happened to see the show in Boston , and it was exactly his kind of song : He 's a cabaret entertainer . And then my memory is that Judy Collins picked it up , but she recorded it in England ; Sinatra heard it and recorded it . And between the two of them , they made it a hit . Frank Sinatra recorded `` Send in the Clowns '' in 1973 for his comeback album Ol ' Blue Eyes Is Back , which attained gold status . Gordon Jenkins arranged the song . It was also released as a single , with `` Let Me Try Again '' on side B . Two years later , in 1975 , Judy Collins recorded `` Send in the Clowns '' and included it on her album Judith . The song was released as a single , which soon became a major pop hit . It remained on the Billboard Hot 100 for 11 weeks in 1975 , reaching Number 36 . Then , in 1977 , the song again reached the Billboard Hot 100 , where it remained for 16 weeks and reached Number 19 . At the Grammy Awards of 1976 , the Judy Collins performance of the song was named `` Song of the Year '' . After Sinatra and Collins recorded the song , it was recorded by Bing Crosby ( for his album That 's What Life Is All About ) , Kenny Rogers , Lou Rawls and many others .", "8": "In 1985 , Sondheim added a verse for Barbra Streisand to use in her concert performances and recording , which was featured on The Broadway Album . In 1986 , her version became a Number 25 Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary hit . The song has become a jazz standard with performances by Count Basie , Sarah Vaughan , the Stan Kenton Orchestra and many others . The song appears on over 900 records by hundreds of performers in a wide variety of arrangements . Other versions and parodies ( edit ) In 1993 , Krusty the Clown ( played by Dan Castellaneta ) performs the song on he Simpsons episode `` Krusty Gets Kancelled '' . It includes some altered lyrics : `` Send in those soulful and doleful , schmaltz - by - the - bowlful clowns '' . This version was later included on the soundtrack album Songs in the Key of Springfield . Stars of the Lid recorded a version called `` Do n't Bother They 're Here '' for their 2007 album And Their Refinement of the Decline . A snippet of `` Send In the Clowns '' appears as part of the song `` The Electric Co . '' on the U2 release Under A Blood Red Sky . However , the band did not have the appropriate licensing and did not pay the required royalties and were fined $50,000 ( US ) and had to make sure any further pressings of the release removed the snippet . The song figures prominently in a plotline in the daytime soap opera Ryan 's Hope in October 1988 , when villain Max Dubujax plants a bomb in a music box that plays the tune . Before he dies from a gunshot wound , he tells his ex-wife Siobhan Ryan , the intended victim , about `` losing my timing so late in my career '' . The bomb detonates in November 1988 , killing Siobhan 's husband Joe Novak . Tichina Arnold sings a version of the song that is used throughout the storyline . Comedian Will Ferrell performed the song on the Late Show with David Letterman on 2 August 2010 . The song is performed on an episode of the US sitcom Newhart , leading the dim - witted character of George Utley ( Tom Poston ) to say , `` I never realized what that song was really about !", "9": "It 's about clowns , and when to send them in . '' In December 2010 , Stephen Colbert wrote and performed an `` extended ending '' to `` Send in the Clowns '' to composer Stephen Sondheim when he appeared on Colbert 's program , The Colbert Report . `` Where are the clowns ? / I booked them for eight / Oh wait that 's them on the phone / Saying they 're late / Traffic was bad / The tunnel 's a mess / All twelve of them came in one car / They lost my address / You just ca n't trust clowns / That 's why they 're called clowns . '' In 2011 , Paul Harper adapted the lyrics as a parody of bad English usage for Glam Jam , A West End Show , entitled `` Send in the Nouns '' . The song is featured in the film Starsky & Hutch during the duo 's undercover mission at a bat mitzvah . Madonna opened both her ' Tears Of a Clown ' concerts in 2015 with her own rendition of the song . in the October 1976 issue of MAD Magazine ( issue # 186 ) the song is parodied as ' Send In The Crew ' in the parody musical ' Keep On Trekkin ' : The MAD Star Trek Musical ' , with the lyrics of the song ( for the main cast members ) being a reflection that the cast has to come back to be on a Star Trek TV show ( Leonard Nimoy as Spock : `` Is n't it strange / After eight years / Him ( meaning William Shatner ) playing Captain again / Me with my ears / Send in the crew '' ) References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Synopsis '' mtishows.com , accessed April 16 , 2015 ^ Jump up to : An Interview with Stephen Sondheim ( Video Interview ) .

For the financial services company , see Live Well Financial . This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( March 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) A wooden livewell ( container for live bait ) , towed by fishing boat . Exposition in Fisheries Museum in Hel ( branch of National Maritime Museum in Gdańsk ) A livewell is a tank found on many fishing boats that is used to keep bait and caught fish alive . It works by pumping fresh water from the surrounding body into the tank , as well as keeping the water aerated . A rule of thumb for determining the necessitated size of a livewell is that every one inch of fish needs a gallon of water if it is desired to keep the fish alive for a prolonged period of time . Besides size and water circulation , two other key factors of the functionality of a livewell are maintaining proper temperature and removing metabolic waste . Water temperatures should be below 75 ° F ( 24 ° C ) ; ice can be used as a coolant . Oxygen levels ( edit ) It is very important to maintain adequate oxygen levels in the livewell . It should be above 5 parts per million . Electric aeration systems are often used to do this . These often work by creating a spray that increases the surface area of the water , or by passing it through a Venturi . A livewell is a box used to transport live aquatic animals ; shrimp , baitfish and mature fish , saltwater or freshwater species . A livewell should be made of materials that are non - toxic to aquatic animals . The shape may be square , rectangular , oval or round . The box may be insulated , portable , have a drain and lid . Maintaining minimal safe water quality standards in livewell water is essential and necessary to insure a safe habitat for all the captive animals during transport . When transporting baitfish , shrimp or mature fish , maintaining dissolved oxygen saturation ( DO Sat ) is the single most important water quality parameter that must be controlled .", "1": "Livewell oxygen -- injection systems and LOX systems insure O2 enriched livewell water . Pure 100 % compressed welding oxygen is injected into the water with a precision dose adjustable high - pressure oxygen regulator , oxygen tube and diffuser . Commercial and sport fishing oxygen - injection systems are designed to insure 100 % DO Saturation or greater whether the bait or fish load is 1 lb or > 1000 lbs . Minimal safe EPA water quality standards for steady state environments ( rivers , lakes , ponds , etc . ) is 5 ppm DO . Dissolved oxygen is the single most important factor for keeping bass alive , and an understanding of factors that affect oxygen levels will better enable anglers to keep their fish ( aquatic animals ) alive . At a moderate water temperature of 70 _̊ F , 100 percent oxygen saturation is 8.8 mg / l of oxygen , whereas at the higher temperature of 80 _̊ F , 100 percent saturation is 7.9 mg / l . Both of these 100 percent saturation oxygen levels are suitable for keeping bass alive . Without injecting oxygen into the livewell , it is very difficult to supply enough oxygen to keep alive heavier tournament limits . Oxygen injection has long been used by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department ( TPWD ) hatcheries to maintain the health of fish being stocked into reservoirs . Fisheries staff regularly transport or hold fish in ratios equal to or greater than one pound of fish to a gallon of water . However , boat manufactures do not offer oxygen injection system options ... Proper installation and operation of an oxygen injection system will ensure oxygen levels remain above the preferred level of 7 mg / l even when livewells contain heavy limits .

The picture was Welles 's first feature film . Nominated for Academy Awards in nine categories , it won an Academy Award for Best Writing ( Original Screenplay ) by Herman J. Mankiewicz and Welles . Considered by many critics , filmmakers , and fans to be the greatest film of all time , Citizen Kane was voted as such in five consecutive British Film Institute Sight & Sound polls of critics , until it was displaced by Vertigo in the 2012 poll . It topped the American Film Institute 's 100 Years ... 100 Movies list in 1998 , as well as its 2007 update . Citizen Kane is particularly praised for its cinematography , music , editing and narrative structure , which have been considered innovative and precedent - setting . The quasi-biographical film examines the life and legacy of Charles Foster Kane , played by Welles , a character based in part upon the American newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst , Chicago tycoons Samuel Insull and Harold McCormick , and aspects of Welles 's own life . Upon its release , Hearst prohibited mention of the film in any of his newspapers .", "1": "Kane 's career in the publishing world is born of idealistic social service , but gradually evolves into a ruthless pursuit of power . Narrated principally through flashbacks , the story is told through the research of a newsreel reporter seeking to solve the mystery of the newspaper magnate 's dying word : `` Rosebud '' . After the Broadway successes of Welles 's Mercury Theatre and the controversial 1938 radio broadcast `` The War of the Worlds '' on The Mercury Theatre on the Air , Welles was courted by Hollywood . He signed a contract with RKO Pictures in 1939 . Unusually for an untried director , he was given the freedom to develop his own story , to use his own cast and crew , and to have final cut privilege . Following two abortive attempts to get a project off the ground , he wrote the screenplay for Citizen Kane , collaborating on the effort with Herman Mankiewicz . Principal photography took place in 1940 and the film received its American release in 1941 . While a critical success , Citizen Kane failed to recoup its costs at the box office . The film faded from view after its release but was subsequently returned to the public 's attention when it was praised by such French critics as André Bazin and given an American revival in 1956 . The film was released on Blu - ray on September 13 , 2011 , for a special 70th anniversary edition .", "2": "Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Pre-production 3.1 Development 3.2 Screenplay 4 Sources 5 Production 5.1 Casting 5.2 Filming 5.3 Post-production 5.4 Trailer 6 Style 6.1 Storytelling techniques 6.2 Cinematography 6.3 Sound 6.4 Make - up 6.5 Sets 6.6 Special effects 6.7 Music 6.8 Editing 7 Themes 7.1 Political themes 8 Reception 8.1 Pre-release controversy 8.2 Hearst 's response 8.3 Release 8.4 Contemporary responses 8.5 Awards 9 Legacy 9.1 Release in Europe 9.2 Re-evaluation 9.3 Influence 9.4 Film memorabilia 10 Rights and home media 10.1 Colorization controversy 11 See also 12 Bibliography 13 Notes 14 References 15 External links Plot ( edit ) Favored to win election as governor , Kane makes a campaign speech at Madison Square Garden The affair between Kane and Susan Alexander ( Dorothy Comingore ) is exposed by his political opponent , Boss Jim W. Gettys ( Ray Collins ) In a mansion in Xanadu , a vast palatial estate in Florida , the elderly Charles Foster Kane is on his deathbed . Holding a snow globe , he utters a word , `` Rosebud '' , and dies ; the globe slips from his hand and smashes on the floor . A newsreel obituary tells the life story of Kane , an enormously wealthy newspaper publisher . Kane 's death becomes sensational news around the world , and the newsreel 's producer tasks reporter Jerry Thompson with discovering the meaning of `` Rosebud '' . Thompson sets out to interview Kane 's friends and associates . He approaches Kane 's second wife , Susan Alexander Kane , now an alcoholic who runs her own nightclub , but she refuses to talk to him . Thompson goes to the private archive of the late banker Walter Parks Thatcher .", "3": "Through Thatcher 's written memoirs , Thompson learns that Kane 's childhood began in poverty in Colorado . In 1871 , after a gold mine is discovered on her property , Kane 's mother Mary Kane sends Charles away to live with Thatcher so that he would be properly educated . It is also implied that Kane 's father could be violent towards his son and that is another reason she would like to send him away . While Thatcher and Charles ' parents discuss arrangements inside , the young Kane plays happily with a sled in the snow outside his parents ' boarding - house and protests being sent to live with Thatcher . Furious at the prospect of exile from his own family to live with a man he does not know , the boy strikes Thatcher with his sled and attempts to run away . Years later , after gaining full control over his trust fund at the age of 25 , Kane enters the newspaper business and embarks on a career of yellow journalism . He takes control of the New York Inquirer and starts publishing scandalous articles that attack Thatcher 's business interests . After the stock market crash in 1929 , Kane is forced to sell controlling interest of his newspaper empire to Thatcher . Back in the present , Thompson interviews Kane 's personal business manager , Mr. Bernstein . Bernstein recalls how Kane hired the best journalists available to build the Inquirer 's circulation . Kane rose to power by successfully manipulating public opinion regarding the Spanish -- American War and marrying Emily Norton , the niece of a President of the United States . Thompson interviews Kane 's estranged best friend , Jedediah Leland , in a retirement home . Leland recalls how Kane 's marriage to Emily disintegrates more and more over the years , and he begins an affair with amateur singer Susan Alexander while he is running for Governor of New York . Both his wife and his political opponent discover the affair and the public scandal ends his political career . Kane marries Susan and forces her into a humiliating operatic career for which she has neither the talent nor the ambition . Back in the present , Susan now consents to an interview with Thompson , and recalls her failed opera career . Kane finally allows her to abandon her singing career after she attempts suicide . After years spent dominated by Kane and living in isolation at Xanadu , Susan leaves Kane .", "4": "Kane 's butler Raymond recounts that , after Susan leaves him , Kane begins violently destroying the contents of her bedroom . He suddenly calms down when he sees a snow globe and says , `` Rosebud '' . Back at Xanadu , Kane 's belongings are being cataloged or discarded . Thompson concludes that he is unable to solve the mystery and that the meaning of Kane 's last word will forever remain an enigma . As the film ends , the camera reveals that `` Rosebud '' is the trade name of the sled on which the eight - year - old Kane was playing on the day that he was taken from his home in Colorado . Thought to be junk by Xanadu 's staff , the sled is burned in a furnace .

Preproduction ( edit ) Development ( edit ) Welles 's 1938 radio broadcast of `` The War of the Worlds '' caught the attention of RKO Hollywood had shown interest in Welles as early as 1936 . He turned down three scripts sent to him by Warner Bros. In 1937 , he declined offers from David O. Selznick , who asked him to head his film company 's story department , and William Wyler , who wanted him for a supporting role in Wuthering Heights . `` Although the possibility of making huge amounts of money in Hollywood greatly attracted him , '' wrote biographer Frank Brady , `` he was still totally , hopelessly , insanely in love with the theater , and it is there that he had every intention of remaining to make his mark . '' Following `` The War of the Worlds '' broadcast of his CBS radio series The Mercury Theatre on the Air , Welles was lured to Hollywood with a remarkable contract . RKO Pictures studio head George J. Schaefer wanted to work with Welles after the notorious broadcast , believing that Welles had a gift for attracting mass attention .", "6": "RKO was also uncharacteristically profitable and was entering into a series of independent production contracts that would add more artistically prestigious films to its roster . Throughout the spring and early summer of 1939 , Schaefer constantly tried to lure the reluctant Welles to Hollywood . Welles was in financial trouble after failure of his plays Five Kings and The Green Goddess . At first he simply wanted to spend three months in Hollywood and earn enough money to pay his debts and fund his next theatrical season . Welles first arrived on July 20 , 1939 and on his first tour , he called the movie studio `` the greatest electric train set a boy ever had '' . Welles signed his contract with RKO on August 21 . This legendary contract stipulated that Welles would act in , direct , produce and write two films . Mercury would get $100,000 for the first film by January 1 , 1940 , plus 20 % of profits after RKO recouped $500,000 , and $125,000 for a second film by January 1 , 1941 , plus 20 % of profits after RKO recouped $500,000 . The most controversial aspect of the contract was granting Welles complete artistic control of the two films so long as RKO approved both project 's stories and so long as the budget did not exceed $500,000 . RKO executives would not be allowed to see any footage until Welles chose to show it to them , and no cuts could be made to either film without Welles 's approval . Welles was allowed to develop the story without interference , select his own cast and crew , and have the right of final cut . Granting final cut privilege was unprecedented for a studio since it placed artistic considerations over financial investment . The contract was deeply resented in the film industry , and the Hollywood press took every opportunity to mock RKO and Welles . Schaefer remained a great supporter and saw the unprecedented contract as good publicity . Film scholar Robert L. Carringer wrote : `` The simple fact seems to be that Schaefer believed Welles was going to pull off something really big almost as much as Welles did himself . ''", "7": "Orson Welles at his Hollywood home in 1939 , during the long months it took to launch his first film project Welles spent the first five months of his RKO contract trying to get his first project going , without success . `` They are laying bets over on the RKO lot that the Orson Welles deal will end up without Orson ever doing a picture there , '' wrote The Hollywood Reporter . It was agreed that Welles would film Heart of Darkness , previously adapted for The Mercury Theatre on the Air , which would be presented entirely through a first - person camera . After elaborate pre-production and a day of test shooting with a hand - held camera -- unheard of at the time -- the project never reached production because Welles was unable to trim $50,000 from its budget . Schaefer told Welles that the $500,000 budget could not be exceeded ; as war loomed , revenue was declining sharply in Europe by the fall of 1939 . He then started work on the idea that became Citizen Kane . Knowing the script would take time to prepare , Welles suggested to RKO that while that was being done -- `` so the year would n't be lost '' -- he make a humorous political thriller . Welles proposed The Smiler with a Knife , from a novel by Cecil Day - Lewis . When that project stalled in December 1939 , Welles began brainstorming other story ideas with screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz , who had been writing Mercury radio scripts . `` Arguing , inventing , discarding , these two powerful , headstrong , dazzlingly articulate personalities thrashed toward Kane '' , wrote biographer Richard Meryman . Screenplay ( edit ) Main article : Screenplay for Citizen Kane Herman J. Mankiewicz co-wrote the script in early 1940 . He and Welles separately re-wrote and revised each other 's work until Welles was satisfied with the finished product . Pauline Kael 's controversial essay `` Raising Kane '' was published in The New Yorker and in The Citizen Kane Book ( 1971 ) . One of the long - standing controversies about Citizen Kane has been the authorship of the screenplay . Welles conceived the project with screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz , who was writing radio plays for Welles 's CBS Radio series , The Campbell Playhouse .", "8": "Mankiewicz based the original outline on the life of William Randolph Hearst , whom he knew socially and came to hate after being exiled from Hearst 's circle . In February 1940 Welles supplied Mankiewicz with 300 pages of notes and put him under contract to write the first draft screenplay under the supervision of John Houseman , Welles 's former partner in the Mercury Theatre . Welles later explained , `` I left him on his own finally , because we 'd started to waste too much time haggling . So , after mutual agreements on storyline and character , Mank went off with Houseman and did his version , while I stayed in Hollywood and wrote mine . '' Taking these drafts , Welles drastically condensed and rearranged them , then added scenes of his own . The industry accused Welles of underplaying Mankiewicz 's contribution to the script , but Welles countered the attacks by saying , `` At the end , naturally , I was the one making the picture , after all -- who had to make the decisions . I used what I wanted of Mank 's and , rightly or wrongly , kept what I liked of my own . '' The terms of the contract stated that Mankiewicz was to receive no credit for his work , as he was hired as a script doctor . Before he signed the contract Mankiewicz was particularly advised by his agents that all credit for his work belonged to Welles and the Mercury Theatre , the `` author and creator '' . As the film neared release , however , Mankiewicz began threatening Welles to get credit for the film -- including threats to place full - page ads in trade papers and to get his friend Ben Hecht to write an exposé for The Saturday Evening Post . Mankiewicz also threatened to go to the Screen Writers Guild and claim full credit for writing the entire script by himself . After lodging a protest with the Screen Writers Guild , Mankiewicz withdrew it , then vacillated . The question was resolved in January 1941 when the studio , RKO Pictures , awarded Mankiewicz credit . The guild credit form listed Welles first , Mankiewicz second .", "9": "Welles 's assistant Richard Wilson said that the person who circled Mankiewicz 's name in pencil , then drew an arrow that put it in first place , was Welles . The official credit reads , `` Screenplay by Herman J. Mankiewicz and Orson Welles '' . Mankiewicz 's rancor toward Welles grew over the remaining 12 years of his life . Questions over the authorship of the Citizen Kane screenplay were revived in 1971 by influential film critic Pauline Kael , whose controversial 50,000 - word essay `` Raising Kane '' was commissioned as an introduction to the shooting script in The Citizen Kane Book , published in October 1971 . The book - length essay first appeared in February 1971 , in two consecutive issues of The New Yorker magazine . In the ensuing controversy Welles was defended by colleagues , critics , biographers and scholars , but his reputation was damaged by its charges . The essay was later discredited and Kael 's own scholarship was called into question . Any question of authorship was resolved with Carringer 's 1978 essay , `` The Scripts of Citizen Kane '' . Carringer studied the collection of script records -- `` almost a day - to - day record of the history of the scripting '' -- that was then still intact at RKO . He reviewed all seven drafts and concluded that `` the full evidence reveals that Welles 's contribution to the Citizen Kane script was not only substantial but definitive . '' Sources ( edit ) Main article : Sources for Citizen Kane Although various sources were used as a model for Kane , William Randolph Hearst was the primary inspiration . Hearst was disturbed by the film 's supposed depiction of Marion Davies , but Welles always denied that Susan Alexander Kane was based on Davies . Welles never confirmed a principal source for the character of Charles Foster Kane . Houseman wrote that Kane is a synthesis of different personalities , with Hearst 's life used as the main source . Some events and details were invented , and Houseman wrote that he and Mankiewicz also `` grafted anecdotes from other giants of journalism , including Pulitzer , Northcliffe and Mank 's first boss , Herbert Bayard Swope . '' Welles said , `` Mr.", "10": "Hearst was quite a bit like Kane , although Kane is n't really founded on Hearst in particular , many people sat for it so to speak '' . He specifically acknowledged that aspects of Kane were drawn from the lives of two business tycoons familiar from his youth in Chicago -- Samuel Insull and Harold Fowler McCormick . The character of Jedediah Leland was based on drama critic Ashton Stevens , George Stevens 's uncle and Welles 's close boyhood friend . Some detail came from Mankiewicz 's own experience as a drama critic in New York . The assumption that the character of Susan Alexander Kane was based on Marion Davies was a major reason Hearst tried to destroy Citizen Kane . Welles denied that the character was based on Davies , whom he called `` an extraordinary woman -- nothing like the character Dorothy Comingore played in the movie . '' He cited Insull 's building of the Chicago Opera House , and McCormick 's lavish promotion of the opera career of his second wife , Ganna Walska , as direct influences on the screenplay . The character of political boss Jim W. Gettys is based on Charles F. Murphy , a leader in New York City 's infamous Tammany Hall political machine . Welles credited `` Rosebud '' to Mankiewicz . Biographer Richard Meryman wrote that the symbol of Mankiewicz 's own damaged childhood was a treasured bicycle , stolen while he visited the public library and not replaced by his family as punishment . He regarded it as the prototype of Charles Foster Kane 's sled . In his 2015 Welles biography , Patrick McGilligan reported that Mankiewicz himself stated that the word `` Rosebud '' was taken from the name of a famous racehorse , Old Rosebud . Mankiewicz had a bet on the horse in the 1914 Kentucky Derby , which he won , and McGilligan wrote that `` Old Rosebud symbolized his lost youth , and the break with his family '' . In testimony for the Lundberg suit , Mankiewicz said , `` I had undergone psycho - analysis , and Rosebud , under circumstances slightly resembling the circumstances in ( Citizen Kane ) , played a prominent part . '' Other modern claims that the term was a nickname Hearst used for Davies ' clitoris were rejected by Houseman and dismissed by Brady .", "11": "The News on the March sequence that begins the film satirizes the journalistic style of The March of Time , the news documentary and dramatization series presented in movie theaters by Time Inc . From 1935 to 1938 Welles was a member of the uncredited company of actors that presented the original radio version . Houseman claimed that banker Walter P. Thatcher was loosely based on J.P. Morgan . Bernstein was named for Dr. Maurice Bernstein , appointed Welles 's guardian ; Sloane 's portrayal was said to be based on Bernard Herrmann . Herbert Carter , editor of The Inquirer , was named for actor Jack Carter . Production ( edit ) Casting ( edit ) The Mercury Theatre was an independent repertory theatre company founded by Orson Welles and John Houseman in 1937 . The company produced theatrical presentations , radio programs , films , promptbooks and phonographic recordings . Citizen Kane was a rare film in that its principal roles were played by actors new to motion pictures . Ten were billed as Mercury Actors , members of the skilled repertory company assembled by Welles for the stage and radio performances of the Mercury Theatre , an independent theater company he founded with Houseman in 1937 . `` He loved to use the Mercury players , '' wrote biographer Charles Higham , `` and consequently he launched several of them on movie careers . '' The film represents the feature film debuts of William Alland , Ray Collins , Joseph Cotten , Agnes Moorehead , Erskine Sanford , Everett Sloane , Paul Stewart , and Welles himself . Despite never having appeared in feature films , some of the cast members were already well known to the public . Cotten had recently become a Broadway star in the hit play The Philadelphia Story with Katharine Hepburn and Sloane was well known for his role on the radio show The Goldbergs. Mercury actor George Coulouris was a star of the stage in New York and London . Not all of the cast came from the Mercury Players . Welles cast Dorothy Comingore , an actress who played supporting parts in films since 1934 using the name `` Linda Winters '' , as Susan Alexander Kane .", "12": "A discovery of Charlie Chaplin , Comingore was recommended to Welles by Chaplin , who then met Comingore at a party in Los Angeles and immediately cast her . Welles had met stage actress Ruth Warrick while visiting New York on a break from Hollywood and remembered her as a good fit for Emily Norton Kane , later saying that she looked the part . Warrick told Carringer that she was struck by the extraordinary resemblance between herself and Welles 's mother when she saw a photograph of Beatrice Ives Welles . She characterized her own personal relationship with Welles as motherly . `` He trained us for films at the same time that he was training himself , '' recalled Agnes Moorehead . `` Orson believed in good acting , and he realized that rehearsals were needed to get the most from his actors . That was something new in Hollywood : nobody seemed interested in bringing in a group to rehearse before scenes were shot . But Orson knew it was necessary , and we rehearsed every sequence before it was shot . '' When The March of Time narrator Westbrook Van Voorhis asked for $25,000 to narrate the News on the March sequence , Alland demonstrated his ability to imitate Van Voorhis and Welles cast him . Welles later said that casting character actor Gino Corrado in the small part of the waiter at the El Rancho broke his heart . Corrado had appeared in many Hollywood films , often as a waiter , and Welles wanted all of the actors to be new to films . Other uncredited roles went to Thomas A. Curran as Teddy Roosevelt in the faux newsreel ; Richard Baer as Hillman , a man at Madison Square Garden , and a man in the News on the March screening room ; and Alan Ladd , Arthur O'Connell and Louise Currie as reporters at Xanadu . When Kathryn Trosper Popper died on March 6 , 2016 , at the age of 100 she was reported to be the last surviving actor to appear in Citizen Kane . Jean Forward , a soprano who dubbed the singing voice of Susan Alexander , was the last surviving performer from the film before her death in 2016 . Warrick was the last surviving member of the principal cast at the time of her death in 2005 .", "13": "Sonny Bupp , who played Kane 's young son , was the last surviving credited cast member of Citizen Kane when he died in 2007 . Filming ( edit ) Sound stage entrance , as seen in the Citizen Kane trailer Production advisor Miriam Geiger quickly compiled a handmade film textbook for Welles , a practical reference book of film techniques that he studied carefully . He then taught himself filmmaking by matching its visual vocabulary to The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari , which he ordered from the Museum of Modern Art , and films by Frank Capra , René Clair , Fritz Lang , King Vidor and Jean Renoir . The one film he genuinely studied was John Ford 's Stagecoach , which he watched 40 times . `` As it turned out , the first day I ever walked onto a set was my first day as a director , '' Welles said . `` I 'd learned whatever I knew in the projection room -- from Ford . After dinner every night for about a month , I 'd run Stagecoach , often with some different technician or department head from the studio , and ask questions . ' How was this done ? ' ' Why was this done ? ' It was like going to school . '' Welles 's cinematographer for the film was Gregg Toland , described by Welles as `` just then , the number - one cameraman in the world . '' To Welles 's astonishment , Toland visited him at his office and said , `` I want you to use me on your picture . '' He had seen some of the Mercury stage productions ( including Caesar ) and said he wanted to work with someone who had never made a movie . RKO hired Toland on loan from Samuel Goldwyn Productions in the first week of June 1940 . `` And he never tried to impress us that he was doing any miracles , '' Welles recalled . `` I was calling for things only a beginner would have been ignorant enough to think anybody could ever do , and there he was , doing them . '' Toland later explained that he wanted to work with Welles because he anticipated the first time director 's inexperience and reputation for audacious experimentation in the theater would allow the cinematographer to try new and innovative camera techniques that typical Hollywood films would never have allowed him to do .", "14": "Unaware of filmmaking protocol , Welles adjusted the lights on set as he was accustomed to doing in the theater ; Toland quietly re-balanced them , and was angry when one of the crew informed Welles that he was infringing on Toland 's responsibilities . During the first few weeks of June , Welles had lengthy discussions about the film with Toland and art director Perry Ferguson in the morning , and in the afternoon and evening he worked with actors and revised the script . Cinematographer Gregg Toland wanted to work with Welles for the opportunity of trying experimental camera techniques that other films did not allow . On June 29 , 1940 -- a Saturday morning when few inquisitive studio executives would be around -- Welles began filming Citizen Kane . After the disappointment of having Heart of Darkness cancelled , Welles followed Ferguson 's suggestion and deceived RKO into believing that he was simply shooting camera tests . `` But we were shooting the picture , '' Welles said , `` because we wanted to get started and be already into it before anybody knew about it . '' At the time RKO executives were pressuring him to agree to direct a film called The Men from Mars , to capitalize on `` The War of the Worlds '' radio broadcast . Welles said that he would consider making the project but wanted to make a different film first . At this time he did not inform them that he had already begun filming Citizen Kane . The early footage was called `` Orson Welles Tests '' on all paperwork . The first `` test '' shot was the News on the March projection room scene , economically filmed in a real studio projection room in darkness that masked many actors who appeared in other roles later in the film . `` At $809 Orson did run substantially beyond the test budget of $528 -- to create one of the most famous scenes in movie history , '' wrote Barton Whaley . The next scenes were the El Rancho nightclub scenes and the scene in which Susan attempts suicide . Welles later said that the nightclub set was available after another film had wrapped and that filming took 10 to 12 days to complete . For these scenes Welles had Comingore 's throat sprayed with chemicals to give her voice a harsh , raspy tone . Other scenes shot in secret included those in which Thompson interviews Leland and Bernstein , which were also shot on sets built for other films .", "15": "During production , the film was referred to as RKO 281 . Most of the filming took place in what is now Stage 19 on the Paramount Pictures lot in Hollywood . There was some location filming at Balboa Park in San Diego and the San Diego Zoo . In the end of July , RKO approved the film and Welles was allowed to officially begin shooting , despite having already been filming `` tests '' for several weeks . Welles leaked stories to newspaper reporters that the tests had been so good that there was no need to re-shoot them . The first official scene to be shot was the breakfast montage sequence between Kane and his first wife Emily . To strategically save money and appease the RKO executives who opposed him , Welles rehearsed scenes extensively before actually shooting and filmed very few takes of each shot set - up . Welles never shot master shots for any scene after Toland told him that Ford never shot them . To appease the increasingly curious press , Welles threw a cocktail party for selected reporters , promising that they could watch a scene being filmed . When the journalists arrived Welles told them they had `` just finished '' shooting for the day but still had the party . Welles told the press that he was ahead of schedule ( without factoring in the month of `` test shooting '' ) , thus discrediting claims that after a year in Hollywood without making a film he was a failure in the film industry . Welles fell ten feet while shooting the scene in which Kane shouts at the departing Boss Jim W. Gettys ; his injuries required him to direct from a wheelchair for two weeks . Welles usually worked 16 to 18 hours a day on the film . He often began work at 4 a.m. since the special effects make - up used to age him for certain scenes took up to four hours to apply . Welles used this time to discuss the day 's shooting with Toland and other crew members . The special contact lenses used to make Welles look elderly proved very painful , and a doctor was employed to place them into Welles 's eyes . Welles had difficulty seeing clearly while wearing them , which caused him to badly cut his wrist when shooting the scene in which Kane breaks up the furniture in Susan 's bedroom .", "16": "While shooting the scene in which Kane shouts at Gettys on the stairs of Susan Alexander 's apartment building , Welles fell ten feet ; an X-ray revealed two bone chips in his ankle . The injury required him to direct the film from a wheelchair for two weeks . He eventually wore a steel brace to resume performing on camera ; it is visible in the low - angle scene between Kane and Leland after Kane loses the election . For the final scene , a stage at the Selznick studio was equipped with a working furnace , and multiple takes were required to show the sled being put into the fire and the word `` Rosebud '' consumed . Paul Stewart recalled that on the ninth take the Culver City Fire Department arrived in full gear because the furnace had grown so hot the flue caught fire . `` Orson was delighted with the commotion '' , he said . When `` Rosebud '' was burned , Welles choreographed the scene while he had composer Bernard Herrmann 's cue playing on the set . Unlike Schaefer , many members of RKO 's board of governors did not like Welles or the control that his contract gave him . However such board members as Nelson Rockefeller and NBC chief David Sarnoff were sympathetic to Welles . Throughout production Welles had problems with these executives not respecting his contract 's stipulation of non-interference and several spies arrived on set to report what they saw to the executives . When the executives would sometimes arrive on set unannounced the entire cast and crew would suddenly start playing softball until they left . Before official shooting began the executives intercepted all copies of the script and delayed their delivery to Welles . They had one copy sent to their office in New York , resulting in it being leaked to press . Principal shooting wrapped October 24 . Welles then took several weeks off of the film for a lecture tour , during which he also scouted additional locations with Toland and Ferguson . Filming resumed November 15 with some re-shoots . Toland had to leave due to a commitment to shoot Howard Hughes ' The Outlaw , but Toland 's camera crew continued working on the film and Toland was replaced by RKO cinematographer Harry J. Wild . The final day of shooting on November 30 was Kane 's death scene .", "17": "Welles boasted that he only went 21 days over his official shooting schedule , without factoring in the month of `` camera tests . '' According to RKO records , the film cost $839,727 . Its estimated budget had been $723,800 . Post-production ( edit ) Citizen Kane was edited by Robert Wise and assistant editor Mark Robson . Both would become successful film directors . Wise was hired after Welles finished shooting the `` camera tests '' and began officially making the film . Wise said that Welles `` had an older editor assigned to him for those tests and evidently he was not too happy and asked to have somebody else . I was roughly Orson 's age and had several good credits . '' Wise and Robson began editing the film while it was still shooting and said that they `` could tell certainly that we were getting something very special . It was outstanding film day in and day out . '' Welles gave Wise detailed instructions and was usually not present during the film 's editing . The film was very well planned out and intentionally shot for such post-production techniques as slow dissolves . The lack of coverage made editing easy since Welles and Toland edited the film `` in camera '' by leaving few options of how it could be put together . Wise said the breakfast table sequence took weeks to edit and get the correct `` timing '' and `` rhythm '' for the whip pans and over-lapping dialogue . The News on the March sequence was edited by RKO 's newsreel division to give it authenticity . They used stock footage from Pathé News and the General Film Library . During post-production Welles and special effects artist Linwood G. Dunn experimented with an optical printer to improve certain scenes that Welles found unsatisfactory from the footage . Whereas Welles was often immediately pleased with Wise 's work , he would require Dunn and post-production audio engineer James G. Stewart to re-do their work several times until he was satisfied . Welles hired Bernard Herrmann to compose the film 's score . Where most Hollywood film scores were written quickly , in as few as two or three weeks after filming was completed , Herrmann was given 12 weeks to write the music . He had sufficient time to do his own orchestrations and conducting , and worked on the film reel by reel as it was shot and cut .", "18": "He wrote complete musical pieces for some of the montages , and Welles edited many of the scenes to match their length . Trailer ( edit ) Main article : Citizen Kane trailer Written and directed by Welles at Toland 's suggestion , the theatrical trailer for Citizen Kane differs from other trailers in that it did not feature a single second of footage of the actual film itself , but acts as a wholly original , tongue - in - cheek , pseudo-documentary piece on the film 's production . Filmed at the same time as Citizen Kane itself , it offers the only existing behind - the - scenes footage of the film . The trailer , shot by Wild instead of Toland , follows an unseen Welles as he provides narration for a tour around the film set , introductions to the film 's core cast members , and a brief overview of Kane 's character . The trailer also contains a number of trick shots , including one of Everett Sloane appearing at first to be running into the camera , which turns out to be the reflection of the camera in a mirror . At the time , it was almost unprecedented for a film trailer to not actually feature anything of the film itself ; and while Citizen Kane is frequently cited as a ground - breaking , influential film , Simon Callow argues its trailer was no less original in its approach . Callow writes that it has `` great playful charm ... it is a miniature documentary , almost an introduction to the cinema ... Teasing , charming , completely original , it is a sort of conjuring trick : without his face appearing once on the screen , Welles entirely dominates its five ( sic ) minutes ' duration . '' Style ( edit ) Film scholars and historians view Citizen Kane as Welles 's attempt to create a new style of filmmaking by studying various forms of film making , and combining them all into one . However , Welles stated that his love for cinema began only when he started the work on the film . When asked where he got the confidence as a first - time director to direct a film so radically different from contemporary cinema , he responded , `` Ignorance , ignorance , sheer ignorance -- you know there 's no confidence to equal it . It 's only when you know something about a profession , I think , that you 're timid or careful . ''", "19": "David Bordwell wrote that `` The best way to understand Citizen Kane is to stop worshiping it as a triumph of technique . '' Bordwell argues that the film did not invent any of its famous techniques such as deep focus cinematography , shots of the ceilings , chiaroscuro lighting and temporal jump - cuts , and many of these stylistics had been used in German Expressionist films of the 1920s , such as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari . But Bordwell asserts that the film did put them all together for the first time and perfected the medium in one single film . In a 1948 interview D.W. Griffith said `` I loved Citizen Kane and particularly loved the ideas he took from me . '' Arguments against the film 's cinematic innovations were made as early as 1946 when French historian Georges Sadoul wrote that `` the film is an encyclopedia of old techniques . '' Sadoul pointed out such examples as compositions that used both the foreground and the background in the films of Auguste and Louis Lumière , special effects used in the films of Georges Méliès , shots of the ceiling in Erich von Stroheim 's Greed and newsreel montages in the films of Dziga Vertov . French film critic André Bazin defended the film and wrote that `` In this respect , the accusation of plagiarism could very well be extended to the film 's use of panchromatic film or its exploitation of the properties of gelatinous silver halide . '' Bazin disagreed with Sadoul 's comparison to Lumière 's cinematography since Citizen Kane used more sophisticated lenses , but acknowledged that the film had similarities to such previous works as The 49th Parallel and The Power and the Glory . Bazin stated that `` even if Welles did not invent the cinematic devices employed in Citizen Kane , one should nevertheless credit him with the invention of their meaning . '' Bazin championed the techniques in the film for its depiction of heightened reality , but Bordwell believes that the film 's use of special effects contradict some of Bazin 's theories . Storytelling techniques ( edit ) Citizen Kane eschews the traditional linear , chronological narrative , and tells Kane 's story entirely in flashback using different points of view , many of them from Kane 's aged and forgetful associates , the cinematic equivalent of the unreliable narrator in literature .", "20": "Welles also dispenses with the idea of a single storyteller and uses multiple narrators to recount Kane 's life . The use of multiple narrators was unheard of in Hollywood films . Each narrator recounts a different part of Kane 's life , with each story partly overlapping . The film depicts Kane as an enigma , a complicated man who , in the end , leaves viewers with more questions than answers as to his character , such as the newsreel footage where he is attacked for being both a communist and a fascist . The technique of using flashbacks had been used in earlier films -- most notably in The Power and the Glory ( 1933 ) -- but no film was as immersed in this technique as Citizen Kane . The use of the reporter Thompson acts as a surrogate for the audience , questioning Kane 's associates and piecing together his life . At that time films typically had an `` omniscient perspective '' , which Marilyn Fabe says give the audience the `` illusion that we are looking with impunity into a world which is unaware of our gaze , Hollywood movies give us a feeling of power . '' The film begins in this fashion up until the News on the March sequence , after which we the audience see the film through the perspectives of others . The News on the March sequence gives an overview of Kane 's entire life ( and the film 's entire story ) at the beginning of the film , leaving the audience without the typical suspense of wondering how it will end . Instead the film 's repetitions of events compels the audience to analyze and wonder why Kane 's life happened the way that it did , under the pretext of finding out what `` Rosebud '' means . The film then returns to the omniscient perspective in the final scene , when only the audience discovers what `` Rosebud '' is . Cinematography ( edit ) Welles and cinematographer Gregg Toland prepare to film the post-election confrontation between Kane and Leland , shot from an extremely low angle that required cutting into the set floor . Welles placed Toland 's credit with his own to acknowledge the cinematographer 's contributions . The most innovative technical aspect of Citizen Kane is the extended use of deep focus . In nearly every scene in the film , the foreground , background and everything in between are all in sharp focus . Cinematographer Toland did this through his experimentation with lenses and lighting .", "21": "Toland described the achievement , made possible by the sensitivity of modern speed film , in an article for Theatre Arts magazine : New developments in the science of motion picture photography are not abundant at this advanced stage of the game but periodically one is perfected to make this a greater art . Of these I am in an excellent position to discuss what is termed `` Pan-focus '' , as I have been active for two years in its development and used it for the first time in Citizen Kane . Through its use , it is possible to photograph action from a range of eighteen inches from the camera lens to over two hundred feet away , with extreme foreground and background figures and action both recorded in sharp relief . Hitherto , the camera had to be focused either for a close or a distant shot , all efforts to encompass both at the same time resulting in one or the other being out of focus . This handicap necessitated the breaking up of a scene into long and short angles , with much consequent loss of realism . With pan-focus , the camera , like the human eye , sees an entire panorama at once , with everything clear and lifelike . Both this article and a May 1941 Life magazine article with illustrated examples helped popularize deep focus cinematography and Toland 's achievements on the film . Another unorthodox method used in the film was the way low - angle shots were used to display a point of view facing upwards , thus allowing ceilings to be shown in the background of several scenes . Breaking with studio convention , every set was built with a ceiling -- many constructed of fabric that ingeniously concealed microphones . Welles felt that the camera should show what the eyes see , and that it was a bad theatrical convention to pretend there was no ceiling -- `` a big lie in order to get all those terrible lights up there , '' he said . He became fascinated with the look of low angles , which made even dull interiors look interesting . One extremely low angle is used to photograph the encounter between Kane and Leland after Kane loses the election . A hole was dug for the camera , which required drilling into the concrete floor . Welles credited Toland on the same title card as himself and said `` It 's impossible to say how much I owe to Gregg . He was superb . '' He called Toland `` the best director of photography that ever existed . ''", "22": "Sound ( edit ) Citizen Kane 's sound was recorded by Bailey Fesler and re-recorded in post-production by audio engineer James G. Stewart , both of whom had worked in radio . Stewart said that Hollywood films never deviated from a basic pattern of how sound could be recorded or used , but with Welles `` deviation from the pattern was possible because he demanded it . '' Although the film is known for its complex soundtrack , much of the audio is heard as it was recorded by Fesler and without manipulation . Welles used techniques from radio like overlapping dialogue . The scene in which characters sing `` Oh , Mr. Kane '' was especially complicated and required mixing several soundtracks together . He also used different `` sound perspectives '' to create the illusion of distances , such as in scenes at Xanadu where characters speak to each other at far distances . Welles experimented with sound in post-production , creating audio montages , and chose to create all of the sound effects for the film instead of using RKO 's library of sound effects . Welles used an aural technique from radio called the `` lightning - mix '' . Welles used this technique to link complex montage sequences via a series of related sounds or phrases . For example , Kane grows from a child into a young man in just two shots . As Thatcher hands eight - year - old Kane a sled and wishes him a Merry Christmas , the sequence suddenly jumps to a shot of Thatcher fifteen years later , completing the sentence he began in both the previous shot and the chronological past . Other radio techniques include using a number of voices , each saying a sentence or sometimes merely a fragment of a sentence , and splicing the dialogue together in quick succession , such as the projection room scene . The film 's sound cost $16,996 , but was originally budgeted at $7,288 . Film critic and director François Truffaut wrote that `` Before Kane , nobody in Hollywood knew how to set music properly in movies . Kane was the first , in fact the only , great film that uses radio techniques ... A lot of filmmakers know enough to follow Auguste Renoir 's advice to fill the eyes with images at all costs , but only Orson Welles understood that the sound track had to be filled in the same way . ''", "23": "Cedric Belfrage of The Clipper wrote `` of all of the delectable flavours that linger on the palate after seeing Kane , the use of sound is the strongest . '' Make - up ( edit ) The make - up for Citizen Kane was created and applied by Maurice Seiderman ( 1907 -- 1989 ) , a junior member of the RKO make - up department . Seiderman 's family came to the United States from Russia in 1920 , escaping persecution . As a child Seiderman had won a drawing competition and received an apprenticeship at the Moscow Art Theatre , where his father was a wigmaker and make - up artist . In New York his uncle was a theatrical scenic painter , and he helped Seiderman get into the union . He worked on Max Reinhardt 's 1924 production of The Miracle and with the Yiddish Art Theatre , and he studied the human figure at the Art Students League of New York . After he moved to Los Angeles he was hired first by Max Factor and then by RKO . Seiderman had not been accepted into the union , which recognized him as only an apprentice , but RKO nevertheless used him to make up principal actors . `` Apprentices were not supposed to make up any principals , only extras , and an apprentice could not be on a set without a journeyman present , '' wrote make - up artist Dick Smith , who became friends with Seiderman in 1979 . `` During his years at RKO I suspect these rules were probably overlooked often . '' By 1940 Seiderman 's uncredited film work included Winterset , Gunga Din , The Hunchback of Notre Dame , Swiss Family Robinson and Abe Lincoln in Illinois . `` Seiderman had gained a reputation as one of the most inventive and creatively precise up - and - coming makeup men in Hollywood , '' wrote biographer Frank Brady . On an early tour of RKO , Welles met Seiderman in the small make - up lab he created for himself in an unused dressing room . `` Welles fastened on to him at once , '' wrote biographer Charles Higham .", "24": "`` With his great knowledge of makeup -- indeed , his obsession with it , for he hated his flat nose -- Welles was fascinated ... Seiderman had an intimate knowledge of anatomy and the process of aging and was acquainted with every line , wrinkle and accretion of fat in aging men and women . Impatient with most makeup methods of his era , he used casts of his subjects in order to develop makeup methods that ensured complete naturalness of expression -- a naturalness unrivaled in Hollywood . '' `` When Kane came out in script form , Orson told all of us about the picture and said that the most important aspect was the makeup , '' Seiderman recalled . `` I felt that I was being given an assignment that was unique -- so I worked accordingly . And there was a lot of work to do . Straight makeups were done in the makeup department by staff , but all the trick stuff and the principal characters were my personal work ; nobody else ever touched them . They could not have handled it . '' Seiderman developed a thorough plan for aging the principal characters , first making a plaster cast of the face of each of the actors who aged , except Joseph Cotten who was unavailable at that time . He made a plaster mold of Welles 's body down to the hips . `` My sculptural techniques for the characters ' aging were handled by adding pieces of white modeling clay , which matched the plaster , onto the surface of each bust , '' Seiderman told visual arts historian Norman Gambill . When Seiderman achieved the desired effect he cast the clay pieces in a soft plastic material that he formulated himself . These appliances were then placed onto the plaster bust and a four - piece mold was made for each phase of aging . The castings were then fully painted and paired with the appropriate wig for evaluation . Before the actors went before the cameras each day , the pliable pieces were applied directly to their faces to recreate Seiderman 's sculptural image . Welles was allergic to Max Factor 's gum , so Seiderman invented an alternative that also photographed more realistically . The facial surface was underpainted in a flexible red plastic compound ; Cotten recalled being instructed to puff out his cheeks during this process .", "25": "Later , seeing the results in the mirror , Cotten told Seiderman , `` I am acting the part of a nice old gentleman , not a relief map of the Rocky Mountains . '' Seiderman replied , `` You 'd be surprised at what the camera does n't see unless we place it within its view . How about some more coffee ? '' The red ground resulted in a warmth of tone that was picked up by the sensitive panchromatic film . Over that was applied liquid greasepaint , and then finally a colorless translucent talcum . Seiderman created the effect of skin pores on Kane 's face by stippling the surface with a negative cast he made from an orange peel . Welles was just as heavily made up as young Kane as he was for old Kane , and he often arrived on the set at 2 : 30 a.m. Application of the sculptural make - up for the oldest incarnation of the character took three - and - a-half hours . The make - up included appliances to age Welles 's shoulders , breast and stomach . `` In the film and production photographs , you can see that Kane had a belly that overhung , '' Seiderman said . `` That was not a costume , it was the rubber sculpture that created the image . You could see how Kane 's silk shirt clung wetly to the character 's body . It could not have been done any other way . '' Seiderman worked with Charles Wright on the wigs . These went over a flexible skull cover that Seiderman created and sewed into place with elastic thread . When he found the wigs too full he untied one hair at a time to alter their shape . Kane 's mustache was inserted into the makeup surface a few hairs at a time , to realistically vary the color and texture . Seiderman made scleral lenses for Welles , Dorothy Comingore , George Coulouris and Everett Sloane , to dull the brightness of their young eyes . The lenses took a long time to fit properly , and Seiderman began work on them before devising any of the other makeup . `` I painted them to age in phases , ending with the blood vessels and the Aurora Senilis of old age . ''", "26": "`` Cotten was the only principal for whom I had not made any sculptural casts , wigs or lenses , '' Seiderman said . When Cotten 's old - age scenes needed to be shot out of sequence due to Welles 's injured ankle , Seiderman improvised with appliances made for Kane 's make - up . A sun visor was chosen to conceal Cotten 's low hairline and the lenses he wore -- hastily supplied by a Beverly Hills ophthalmologist -- were uncomfortable . Kane ages convincingly in the breakfast montage , make - up artist Maurice Seiderman 's tour de force . Seiderman 's tour de force , the breakfast montage , was shot all in one day . `` Twelve years , two years shot at each scene , '' he said . `` Please realize , by the way , that a two - year jump in age is a bit harder to accomplish visually than one of 20 years . '' As they did with art direction , the major studios gave screen credit for make - up to only the department head . When RKO make - up department head Mel Berns refused to share credit with Seiderman , who was only an apprentice , Welles told Berns that there would be no make - up credit . Welles signed a large advertisement in the Los Angeles newspaper : THANKS TO EVERYBODY WHO GETS SCREEN CREDIT FOR `` CITIZEN KANE '' AND THANKS TO THOSE WHO DON 'T TO ALL THE ACTORS , THE CREW , THE OFFICE , THE MUSICIANS , EVERYBODY AND PARTICULARLY TO MAURICE SEIDERMAN , THE BEST MAKE - UP MAN IN THE WORLD `` To put this event in context , remember that I was a very low man , '' Seiderman recalled . `` I was n't even called a make - up man . I had started their laboratory and developed their plastic appliances for make - up . But my salary was $25 a week . And I had no union card . '' Seiderman told Gambill that after Citizen Kane was released , Welles was invited to a White House dinner where Frances Perkins was among the guests . Welles told her about the Russian immigrant who did the make - up for his film but could not join the union .", "27": "Seiderman said the head of the union received a call from the Labor Department the next day , and in November 1941 he was a full union member . Sets ( edit ) Although credited as an assistant , the film 's art direction was done by Perry Ferguson . Welles and Ferguson got along during their collaboration . In the weeks before production began Welles , Toland and Ferguson met regularly to discuss the film and plan every shot , set design and prop . Ferguson would take notes during these discussions and create rough designs of the sets and story boards for individual shots . After Welles approved the rough sketches , Ferguson made miniature models for Welles and Toland to experiment on with a periscope in order to rehearse and perfect each shot . Ferguson then had detailed drawings made for the set design , including the film 's lighting design . The set design was an integral part of the film 's overall look and Toland 's cinematography . In the original script the Great Hall at Xanadu was modeled after the Great Hall in Hearst Castle and its design included a mixture of Renaissance and Gothic styles . `` The Hearstian element is brought out in the almost perverse juxtaposition of incongruous architectural styles and motifs , '' wrote Carringer . Before RKO cut the film 's budget , Ferguson 's designs were more elaborate and resembled the production designs of early Cecil B. DeMille films and Intolerance . The budget cuts reduced Ferguson 's budget by 33 percent and his work cost $58,775 total , which was below average at that time . To save costs Ferguson and Welles re-wrote scenes in Xanadu 's living room and transported them to the Great Hall . A large staircase from another film was found and used at no additional cost . When asked about the limited budget , Ferguson said `` Very often -- as in that much - discussed ' Xanadu ' set in Citizen Kane -- we can make a foreground piece , a background piece , and imaginative lighting suggest a great deal more on the screen than actually exists on the stage . '' According to the film 's official budget there were 81 sets built , but Ferguson said there were between 106 and 116 . Still photographs of Oheka Castle in Huntington , New York , were used in the opening montage , representing Kane 's Xanadu estate .", "28": "Ferguson also designed statues from Kane 's collection with styles ranging from Greek to German Gothic . The sets were also built to accommodate Toland 's camera movements . Walls were built to fold and furniture could quickly be moved . The film 's famous ceilings were made out of muslin fabric and camera boxes were built into the floors for low angle shots . Welles later said that he was proud that the film production value looked much more expensive than the film 's budget . Although neither worked with Welles again , Toland and Ferguson collaborated in several films in the 1940s . Special effects ( edit ) The film 's special effects were supervised by RKO department head Vernon L. Walker . Welles pioneered several visual effects to cheaply shoot things like crowd scenes and large interior spaces . For example , the scene in which the camera in the opera house rises dramatically to the rafters , to show the workmen showing a lack of appreciation for Susan Alexander Kane 's performance , was shot by a camera craning upwards over the performance scene , then a curtain wipe to a miniature of the upper regions of the house , and then another curtain wipe matching it again with the scene of the workmen . Other scenes effectively employed miniatures to make the film look much more expensive than it truly was , such as various shots of Xanadu . Some shots included rear screen projection in the background , such as Thompson 's interview of Leland and some of the ocean backgrounds at Xanadu . Bordwell claims that the scene where Thatcher agrees to be Kane 's guardian used rear screen projection to depict young Kane in the background , despite this scene being cited as a prime example of Toland 's deep focus cinematography . A special effects camera crew from Walker 's department was required for the extreme close - up shots such as Kane 's lips when he says `` Rosebud '' and the shot of the typewriter typing Susan 's bad review . Optical effects artist Dunn claimed that `` up to 80 percent of some reels was optically printed . '' These shots were traditionally attributed to Toland for years . The optical printer improved some of the deep focus shots . One problem with the optical printer was that it sometimes created excessive graininess , such as the optical zoom out of the snow globe .", "29": "Welles decided to superimpose snow falling to mask the graininess in these shots . Toland said that he disliked the results of the optical printer , but acknowledged that `` RKO special effects expert Vernon Walker , ASC , and his staff handled their part of the production -- a by no means inconsiderable assignment -- with ability and fine understanding . '' Any time deep focus was impossible -- as in the scene in which Kane finishes a negative review of Susan 's opera while at the same time firing the person who began writing the review -- an optical printer was used to make the whole screen appear in focus , visually layering one piece of film onto another . However , some apparently deep - focus shots were the result of in - camera effects , as in the famous scene in which Kane breaks into Susan 's room after her suicide attempt . In the background , Kane and another man break into the room , while simultaneously the medicine bottle and a glass with a spoon in it are in closeup in the foreground . The shot was an in - camera matte shot . The foreground was shot first , with the background dark . Then the background was lit , the foreground darkened , the film rewound , and the scene re-shot with the background action . Music ( edit ) Incidental music includes the publisher 's theme , `` Oh , Mr. Kane '' , a tune by Pepe Guízar with special lyrics by Herman Ruby . The film 's music was composed by Bernard Herrmann . Herrmann had composed for Welles for his Mercury Theatre radio broadcasts . Because it was Herrmann 's first motion picture score , RKO wanted to pay him only a small fee , but Welles insisted he be paid at the same rate as Max Steiner . The score established Herrmann as an important new composer of film soundtracks and eschewed the typical Hollywood practice of scoring a film with virtually non-stop music . Instead Herrmann used what he later described as ' `` radio scoring '' , musical cues typically 5 -- 15 seconds in length that bridge the action or suggest a different emotional response . The breakfast montage sequence begins with a graceful waltz theme and gets darker with each variation on that theme as the passage of time leads to the hardening of Kane 's personality and the breakdown of his first marriage .", "30": "Herrmann realized that musicians slated to play his music were hired for individual unique sessions ; there was no need to write for existing ensembles . This meant that he was free to score for unusual combinations of instruments , even instruments that are not commonly heard . In the opening sequence , for example , the tour of Kane 's estate Xanadu , Herrmann introduces a recurring leitmotiv played by low woodwinds , including a quartet of alto flutes . For Susan Alexander Kane 's operatic sequence , Welles suggested that Herrmann compose a witty parody of a Mary Garden vehicle , an aria from Salammbô . `` Our problem was to create something that would give the audience the feeling of the quicksand into which this simple little girl , having a charming but small voice , is suddenly thrown , '' Herrmann said . Writing in the style of a 19th - century French Oriental opera , Herrmann put the aria in a key that would force the singer to strain to reach the high notes , culminating in a high D , well outside the range of Susan Alexander . Soprano Jean Forward dubbed the vocal part for Comingore . Houseman claimed to have written the libretto , based on Jean Racine 's Athalie and Phedre , although some confusion remains since Lucille Fletcher remembered preparing the lyrics . Fletcher , then Herrmann 's wife , wrote the libretto for his opera Wuthering Heights . Music enthusiasts consider the scene in which Susan Alexander Kane attempts to sing the famous cavatina `` Una voce poco fa '' from Il barbiere di Siviglia by Gioachino Rossini with vocal coach Signor Matiste as especially memorable for depicting the horrors of learning music through mistakes . In 1972 , Herrmann said , `` I was fortunate to start my career with a film like Citizen Kane , it 's been a downhill run ever since ! '' Welles loved Herrmann 's score and told director Henry Jaglom that it was 50 percent responsible for the film 's artistic success . Some incidental music came from other sources . Welles heard the tune used for the publisher 's theme , `` Oh , Mr. Kane '' , in Mexico . Called `` A Poco No '' , the song was written by Pepe Guízar and special lyrics were written by Herman Ruby .", "31": "`` In a Mizz '' , a 1939 jazz song by Charlie Barnet and Haven Johnson , bookends Thompson 's second interview of Susan Alexander Kane . `` I kind of based the whole scene around that song , '' Welles said . `` The music is by Nat Cole -- it 's his trio . '' Later -- beginning with the lyrics , `` It ca n't be love '' -- `` In a Mizz '' is performed at the Everglades picnic , framing the fight in the tent between Susan and Kane . Musicians including bandleader Cee Pee Johnson ( drums ) , Alton Redd ( vocals ) , Raymond Tate ( trumpet ) , Buddy Collette ( alto sax ) and Buddy Banks ( tenor sax ) are featured . All of the music used in the newsreel came from the RKO music library , edited at Welles 's request by the newsreel department to achieve what Herrmann called `` their own crazy way of cutting '' . The News on the March theme that accompanies the newsreel titles is `` Belgian March '' by Anthony Collins , from the film Nurse Edith Cavell . Other examples are an excerpt from Alfred Newman 's score for Gunga Din ( the exploration of Xanadu ) , Roy Webb 's theme for the film Reno ( the growth of Kane 's empire ) , and bits of Webb 's score for Five Came Back ( introducing Walter Parks Thatcher ) . Editing ( edit ) Orson Welles and Ruth Warrick in the breakfast montage One of the editing techniques used in Citizen Kane was the use of montage to collapse time and space , using an episodic sequence on the same set while the characters changed costume and make - up between cuts so that the scene following each cut would look as if it took place in the same location , but at a time long after the previous cut . In the breakfast montage , Welles chronicles the breakdown of Kane 's first marriage in five vignettes that condense 16 years of story time into two minutes of screen time . Welles said that the idea for the breakfast scene `` was stolen from The Long Christmas Dinner of Thornton Wilder ... a one - act play , which is a long Christmas dinner that takes you through something like 60 years of a family 's life . ''", "32": "The film often uses long dissolves to signify the passage of time and its psychological effect of the characters , such as the scene in which the abandoned sled is covered with snow after the young Kane is sent away with Thatcher . Welles was influenced by the editing theories of Sergei Eisenstein by using jarring cuts that caused `` sudden graphic or associative contrasts '' , such as the cut from Kane 's deathbed to the beginning of the News on the March sequence and a sudden shot of a shrieking bird at the beginning of Raymond 's flashback . Although the film typically favors mise - en - scène over montage , the scene in which Kane goes to Susan Alexander 's apartment after first meeting her is the only one that is primarily cut as close - ups with shots and counter shots between Kane and Susan . Fabe says that `` by using a standard Hollywood technique sparingly , ( Welles ) revitalizes its psychological expressiveness . '' Themes ( edit ) Political themes ( edit ) In her 1992 monograph for the British Film Institute , critic Laura Mulvey explored the anti-fascist themes of Citizen Kane . The News on the March newsreel presents Kane keeping company with Hitler and other dictators while he smugly assures the public there will be no war . Mulvey wrote that the film reflects `` the battle between intervention and isolationism '' then being waged in the United States ; the film was released six months before the attack on Pearl Harbor , while President Franklin D. Roosevelt was laboring to win public opinion for entering World War II . `` Not only was the war in Europe the burning public issue of the time , '' Mulvey wrote , `` it was of passionate personal importance to Orson Welles ... In the rhetoric of Citizen Kane , the destiny of isolationism is realised in metaphor : in Kane 's own fate , dying wealthy and lonely , surrounded by the detritus of European culture and history . '' Journalist Ignacio Ramonet has cited the film as an early example of mass media manipulation of public opinion and the power that media conglomerates have on influencing the democratic process . Ramonet believes that this early example of a media mogul influencing politics is outdated and that `` today Citizen Kane would be a dwarf . He owned a few papers in one country . The forces that dominate today have integrated image with text and sound and the world is their market .", "33": "There are media groups with the power of a thousand Citizen Kanes . '' Media mogul Rupert Murdoch is sometimes labeled as a latter - day Citizen Kane . Reception ( edit ) Pre-release controversy ( edit ) To ensure that Citizen Kane 's influence from Hearst 's life was a secret , Welles limited access to dailies and managed the film 's publicity . A December 1940 feature story in Stage magazine compared the film 's narrative to Faust and made no mention of Hearst . The film was scheduled to premiere at RKO 's flagship theater Radio City Music Hall on February 14 , but in early January 1941 Welles was not finished with post-production work and told RKO that it still needed its musical score . Writers for national magazines had early deadlines and so a rough cut was previewed for a select few on January 3 , 1941 for such magazines as Life , Look and Redbook . Gossip columnist Hedda Hopper ( and Parsons ' arch rival ) showed up to the screening uninvited . Most of the critics at the preview said that they liked the film and gave it good advanced reviews . Hopper wrote negatively about it , calling the film a `` vicious and irresponsible attack on a great man '' and criticizing its corny writing and old fashioned photography . Friday magazine ran an article drawing point - by - point comparisons between Kane and Hearst and documented how Welles had led on Parsons , Hollywood correspondent for Hearst papers . Up until this Welles had been friendly with Parsons . The magazine quoted Welles as saying that he could n't understand why she was so nice to him and that she should `` wait until the woman finds out that the picture 's about her boss . '' Welles immediately denied making the statement and the editor of Friday admitted that it may be false . Welles apologized to Parsons and assured her that he had never made that remark . Film columnist and Hearst employee Louella Parsons was humiliated by Citizen Kane and made numerous threats to prevent the film 's release . Shortly after Friday 's article , Hearst sent Parsons an angry letter complaining that he had learned about Citizen Kane from Hopper and not her . The incident made a fool of Parsons and compelled her to start attacking Welles and the film .", "34": "Parsons demanded a private screening of the film and personally threatened Schaefer on Hearst 's behalf , first with a lawsuit and then with a vague threat of consequences for everyone in Hollywood . On January 10 Parsons and two lawyers working for Hearst were given a private screening of the film . James G. Stewart was present at the screening and said that she walked out of the film . Soon after , Parsons called Schaefer and threatened RKO with a lawsuit if they released Kane . She also contacted the management of Radio City Music Hall and demanded that they not screen it . The next day , the front page headline in Daily Variety read , `` HEARST BANS RKO FROM PAPERS . '' Hearst began this ban by suppressing promotion of RKO 's Kitty Foyle , but in two weeks the ban was lifted for everything except Kane . When Schaefer did not submit to Parsons she called other studio heads and made more threats on behalf of Hearst to expose the private lives of people throughout the entire film industry . Welles was threatened with an exposé about his romance with the married actress Dolores del Rio , who wanted the affair kept secret until her divorce was finalized . In a statement to journalists Welles denied that the film was about Hearst . Hearst began preparing an injunction against the film for libel and invasion of privacy , but Welles 's lawyer told him that he doubted Hearst would proceed due to the negative publicity and required testimony that an injunction would bring . The Hollywood Reporter ran a front - page story on January 13 that Hearst papers were about to run a series of editorials attacking Hollywood 's practice of hiring refugees and immigrants for jobs that could be done by Americans . The goal was to put pressure on the other studios to force RKO to shelve Kane . Many of those immigrants had fled Europe after the rise of fascism and feared losing the safe haven of the United States . Soon afterwards , Schaefer was approached by Nicholas Schenck , head of Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer 's parent company , with an offer on the behalf of Louis B. Mayer and other Hollywood executives to RKO Pictures of $805,000 to destroy all prints of the film and burn the negative .", "35": "Once RKO 's legal team reassured Schaefer , the studio announced on January 21 that Kane would be released as scheduled , and with one of the largest promotional campaigns in the studio 's history . Schaefer brought Welles to New York City for a private screening of the film with the New York corporate heads of the studios and their lawyers . There was no objection to its release provided that certain changes , including the removal or softening of specific references that might offend Hearst , were made . Welles agreed and cut the running time from 122 minutes to 119 minutes . The cuts satisfied the corporate lawyers . Hearst 's response ( edit ) Hearing about Citizen Kane enraged Hearst so much that he banned any advertising , reviewing , or mentioning of it in his papers , and had his journalists libel Welles . Welles used Hearst 's opposition as a pretext for previewing the film in several opinion - making screenings in Los Angeles , lobbying for its artistic worth against the hostile campaign that Hearst was waging . A special press screening took place in early March . Henry Luce was in attendance and reportedly wanted to buy the film from RKO for $1 million to distribute it himself . The reviews for this screening were positive . A Hollywood Review headline read , `` Mr. Genius Comes Through ; ' Kane ' Astonishing Picture '' . The Motion Picture Herald reported about the screening and Welles 's intention to sue RKO . Time magazine wrote that `` The objection of Mr. Hearst , who founded a publishing empire on sensationalism , is ironic . For to most of the several hundred people who have seen the film at private screenings , Citizen Kane is the most sensational product of the U.S. movie industry . '' A second press screening occurred in April . When Schaefer rejected Hearst 's offer to suppress the film , Hearst banned every newspaper and station in his media conglomerate from reviewing -- or even mentioning -- the film . He also had many movie theaters ban it , and many did not show it through fear of being socially exposed by his massive newspaper empire . The Oscar - nominated documentary The Battle Over Citizen Kane lays the blame for the film 's relative failure squarely at the feet of Hearst .", "36": "The film did decent business at the box office ; it went on to be the sixth highest grossing film in its year of release , a modest success its backers found acceptable . Nevertheless , the film 's commercial performance fell short of its creators ' expectations . Hearst 's biographer David Nasaw points out that Hearst 's actions were not the only reason Kane failed , however : the innovations Welles made with narrative , as well as the dark message at the heart of the film ( that the pursuit of success is ultimately futile ) meant that a popular audience could not appreciate its merits . Hearst 's attacks against Welles went beyond attempting to suppress the film . Welles said that while he was on his post-filming lecture tour a police detective approached him at a restaurant and advised him not to go back to his hotel . A 14 - year - old girl had reportedly been hidden in the closet of his room , and two photographers were waiting for him to walk in . Knowing he would be jailed after the resulting publicity , Welles did not return to the hotel but waited until the train left town the following morning . `` But that was n't Hearst , '' Welles said , `` that was a hatchet man from the local Hearst paper who thought he would advance himself by doing it . '' In March 1941 Welles directed a Broadway version of Richard Wright 's Native Son ( and , for luck , used a `` Rosebud '' sled as a prop ) . Native Son received positive reviews , but Hearst - owned papers used the opportunity to attack Welles as a communist . The Hearst papers vociferously attacked Welles after his April 1941 radio play , `` His Honor , the Mayor '' , produced for The Free Company radio series on CBS . Welles described his chance encounter with Hearst in an elevator at the Fairmont Hotel on the night Citizen Kane opened in San Francisco . Hearst and Welles 's father were acquaintances , so Welles introduced himself and asked Hearst if he would like to come to the opening . Hearst did not respond . `` As he was getting off at his floor , I said , ' Charles Foster Kane would have accepted . ' No reply '' , recalled Welles . `` And Kane would have you know .", "37": "That was his style -- just as he finished Jed Leland 's bad review of Susan as an opera singer . '' In 1945 Hearst journalist Robert Shaw wrote that the film got `` a full tide of insensate fury '' from Hearst papers , `` then it ebbed suddenly . With one brain cell working , the chief realized that such hysterical barking by the trained seals would attract too much attention to the picture . But to this day the name of Orson Welles is on the official son - of - a-bitch list of every Hearst newspaper . '' Despite Hearst 's attempts to destroy the film , since 1941 references to his life and career have usually included a reference to Citizen Kane , such as the headline ' Son of Citizen Kane Dies ' for the obituary of Hearst 's son . In 2012 the Hearst estate agreed to screen the film at Hearst Castle in San Simeon , breaking Hearst 's ban on the film . Release ( edit ) Radio City Music Hall 's management refused to screen Citizen Kane for its premiere . A possible factor was Parsons 's threat that The American Weekly would run a defamatory story on the grandfather of major RKO stockholder Nelson Rockefeller . Other exhibitors feared being sued for libel by Hearst and refused to show the film . In March Welles threatened the RKO board of governors with a lawsuit if they did not release the film . Schaefer stood by Welles and opposed the board of governors . When RKO still delayed the film 's release Welles offered to buy the film for $1 million and the studio finally agreed to release the film on May 1 . Schaefer managed to book a few theaters willing to show the film . Hearst papers refused to accept advertising . RKO 's publicity advertisements for the film erroneously promoted it as a love story . Kane opened at the RKO Palace Theatre on Broadway in New York on May 1 , 1941 , in Chicago on May 6 , and in Los Angeles on May 8 . Welles said that at the Chicago premiere that he attended the theater was almost empty . It did well in cities and larger towns but fared poorly in more remote areas . RKO still had problems getting exhibitors to show the film .", "38": "For example , one chain controlling more than 500 theaters got Welles 's film as part of a package but refused to play it , reportedly out of fear of Hearst . Hearst 's disruption of the film 's release damaged its box office performance and , as a result , it lost $160,000 during its initial run . The film earned $23,878 during its first week in New York . By the ninth week it only made $7,279 . Overall it lost money in New York , Boston , Chicago , Los Angeles , San Francisco and Washington , D.C. , but made a profit in Seattle . Contemporary responses ( edit ) Citizen Kane received good reviews from several critics . New York Daily News critic Kate Cameron called it `` one of the most interesting and technically superior films that has ever come out of a Hollywood studio '' . New York World - Telegram critic William Boehnel said that the film was `` staggering and belongs at once among the greatest screen achievements '' . Time magazine wrote that `` it has found important new techniques in picture - making and story - telling . '' Life magazine 's review said that `` few movies have ever come from Hollywood with such powerful narrative , such original technique , such exciting photography . '' John C. Mosher of The New Yorker called the film 's style `` like fresh air '' and raved `` Something new has come to the movie world at last . '' Anthony Bower of The Nation called it `` brilliant '' and praised the cinematography and performances by Welles , Comingore and Cotten . John O'Hara 's Newsweek review called it the best picture he 'd ever seen and said Welles was `` the best actor in the history of acting . '' Welles called O'Hara's review `` the greatest review that anybody ever had . '' The day following the premiere of Citizen Kane , The New York Times critic Bosley Crowther wrote that `` ... it comes close to being the most sensational film ever made in Hollywood . '' Count on Mr. Welles : he does n't do things by halves ... Upon the screen he discovered an area large enough for his expansive whims to have free play . And the consequence is that he has made a picture of tremendous and overpowering scope , not in physical extent so much as in its rapid and graphic rotation of thoughts . Mr.", "39": "Welles has put upon the screen a motion picture that really moves . In the UK C.A. Lejeune of The Observer called it `` The most exciting film that has come out of Hollywood in twenty - five years '' and Dilys Powell of The Sunday Times said the film 's style was made `` with the ease and boldness and resource of one who controls and is not controlled by his medium . '' Edward Tangye Lean of Horizon praised the film 's technical style , calling it `` perhaps a decade ahead of its contemporaries . '' A few reviews were mixed . Otis Ferguson of The New Republic said it was `` the boldest free - hand stroke in major screen production since Griffith and Bitzer were running wild to unshackle the camera '' , but also criticized its style , calling it a `` retrogression in film technique '' and stating that `` it holds no great place '' in film history . Ferguson reacted to some of the film 's celebrated visual techniques by calling them `` just willful dabbling '' and `` the old shell game . '' In a rare film review , filmmaker Erich von Stroheim criticized the film 's story and non-linear structure , but praised the technical style and performances , and wrote `` Whatever the truth may be about it , Citizen Kane is a great picture and will go down in screen history . More power to Welles ! '' Some prominent critics wrote negative reviews . In his 1941 review for Sur , Jorge Luis Borges famously called the film `` a labyrinth with no center '' and predicted that its legacy would be a film `` whose historical value is undeniable but which no one cares to see again . '' The Argus Weekend Magazine critic Erle Cox called the film `` amazing '' but thought that Welles 's break with Hollywood traditions was `` overdone . '' Tatler 's James Agate called it `` the well - intentioned , muddled , amateurish thing one expects from high - brows '' and `` a quite good film which tries to run the psychological essay in harness with your detective thriller , and does n't quite succeed . '' Eileen Creelman of The New York Sun called it `` a cold picture , unemotional , a puzzle rather than a drama '' . Other people who disliked the film were W.H. Auden and James Agee .", "40": "Awards ( edit ) The National Board of Review recognized both Welles and George Coulouris for their performances in Citizen Kane ( 1941 ) , which was also voted the year 's best film . Citizen Kane received the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Picture . The National Board of Review voted it Best Film of 1941 , and recognized Welles and Coulouris for their performances . Citizen Kane received nine nominations at the 1941 Academy Awards : Outstanding Motion Picture -- Mercury Best Director -- Orson Welles Best Actor -- Orson Welles Best Writing ( Original Screenplay ) -- Herman J. Mankiewicz , Orson Welles Best Art Direction ( Black - and - White ) -- Perry Ferguson , Van Nest Polglase , Al Fields , Darrell Silvera Best Cinematography ( Black - and - White ) -- Gregg Toland Best Film Editing -- Robert Wise Best Music ( Music Score of a Dramatic Picture ) -- Bernard Herrmann Best Sound Recording -- John Aalberg It was widely believed the film would win most of its Oscar nominations , but it received only the award for Best Writing ( Original Screenplay ) , shared by Welles and Mankiewicz . Variety reported that block voting by screen extras deprived Citizen Kane of Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Actor ( Welles ) , and similar prejudices were likely to have been responsible for the film receiving no technical awards . Legacy ( edit ) Citizen Kane was the only film made under Welles 's original contract with RKO Pictures , which gave him complete creative control . Welles 's new business manager and attorney permitted the contract to lapse . In July 1941 , Welles reluctantly signed a new and less favorable deal with RKO under which he produced and directed The Magnificent Ambersons ( 1942 ) , produced Journey into Fear ( 1943 ) , and began It 's All True , a film he agreed to do without payment . In the new contract Welles was an employee of the studio and lost the right to final cut , which later allowed RKO to modify and re-cut The Magnificent Ambersons over his objections . In June 1942 Schaefer resigned the presidency of RKO Pictures and Welles 's contract was terminated by his successor .", "41": "Release in Europe ( edit ) During World War II , Citizen Kane was not seen in most European countries . It was shown in France for the first time on July 10 , 1946 at the Marbeuf theatre in Paris . Initially most French film critics were influenced by the negative reviews of Jean - Paul Sartre in 1945 and Georges Sadoul in 1946 . At that time many French intellectuals and filmmakers shared Sartre 's negative opinion that Hollywood filmmakers were uncultured . Sartre criticized the film 's flashbacks for its nostalgic and romantic preoccupation with the past instead of the realities of the present and said that `` the whole film is based on a misconception of what cinema is all about . The film is in the past tense , whereas we all know that cinema has got to be in the present tense . '' Film theorist André Bazin ( author of Qu'est - ce que le cinéma ? ) based many of his theories around the film and has been called the most influential person to enhance its reputation . André Bazin , a little - known film critic working for Sartre 's Les Temps modernes , was asked to give an impromptu speech about the film after a screening at the Colisée Theatre in the autumn of 1946 and changed the opinion of much of the audience . This speech led to Bazin 's 1947 article `` The Technique of Citizen Kane '' , which directly influenced public opinion about the film . Carringer wrote that Bazin was `` the one who did the most to enhance the film 's reputation . '' Both Bazin 's critique of the film and his theories about cinema itself centered around his strong belief in mise en scène . These theories were diametrically opposed to both the popular Soviet montage theory and the politically Marxist and anti-Hollywood beliefs of most French film critics at that time . Bazin believed that a film should depict reality without the filmmaker imposing their `` will '' on the spectator , which the Soviet theory supported . Bazin wrote that Citizen Kane 's mise en scène created a `` new conception of filmmaking '' and that the freedom given to the audience from the deep focus shots was innovative by changing the entire concept of the cinematic image .", "42": "Bazin wrote extensively about the mise en scène in the scene where Susan Alexander attempts suicide , which was one long take while other films would have used four or five shots in the scene . Bazin wrote that the film 's mise en scène `` forces the spectator to participate in the meaning of the film '' and creates `` a psychological realism which brings the spectator back to the real conditions of perception . '' In his 1950 essay `` The Evolution of the Language of Cinema '' , Bazin placed Citizen Kane center stage as a work which ushered in a new period in cinema . One of the first critics to defend motion pictures as being on the same artistic level as literature or painting , Bazin often used the film as an example of cinema as an art form and wrote that `` Welles has given the cinema a theoretical restoration . He has enriched his filmic repertory with new or forgotten effects that , in today 's artistic context , take on a significance we did n't know they could have . '' Bazin also compared the film to Roberto Rossellini 's Paisà for having `` the same aesthetic concept of realism '' and to the films of William Wyler shot by Toland ( such as The Little Foxes and The Best Years of Our Lives ) , all of which used deep focus cinematography that Bazin called `` a dialectical step forward in film language . '' Bazin 's praise of the film went beyond film theory and reflected his own philosophy towards life itself . His metaphysical interpretations about the film reflected humankind 's place in the universe . Bazin believed that the film examined one person 's identity and search for meaning . It portrayed the world as ambiguous and full of contradictions , whereas films up until then simply portrayed people 's actions and motivations . Bazin 's biographer Dudley Andrew wrote that : The world of Citizen Kane , that mysterious , dark , and infinitely deep world of space and memory where voices trail off into distant echoes and where meaning dissolves into interpretation , seemed to Bazin to mark the starting point from which all of us try to construct provisionally the sense of our lives . Bazin went on to co-found Cahiers du cinéma , whose contributors ( including future film directors François Truffaut and Jean - Luc Godard ) also praised the film .", "43": "The popularity of Truffaut 's auteur theory helped the film 's and Welles 's reputation . Re-evaluation ( edit ) By 1942 Citizen Kane had run its course theatrically and , apart from a few showings at big city arthouse cinemas , it largely vanished and both the film 's and Welles 's reputation fell among American critics . In 1949 critic Richard Griffith in his overview of cinema , The Film Till Now , dismissed Citizen Kane as `` ... tinpot if not crackpot Freud . '' In the United States , it was neglected and forgotten until its revival on television in the mid-1950s . Three key events in 1956 led to its re-evaluation in the United States : first , RKO was one of the first studios to sell its library to television , and early that year Citizen Kane started to appear on television ; second , the film was re-released theatrically to coincide with Welles 's return to the New York stage , where he played King Lear ; and third , American film critic Andrew Sarris wrote `` Citizen Kane : The American Baroque '' for Film Culture , and described it as `` the great American film '' and `` the work that influenced the cinema more profoundly than any American film since Birth of a Nation . '' Carringer considers Sarris 's essay as the most important influence on the film 's reputation in the US . During Expo 58 , a poll of over 100 film historians named Kane one of the top ten greatest films ever made ( the group gave first - place honors to The Battleship Potemkin ) . When a group of young film directors announced their vote for the top six , they were booed for not including the film . In the decades since , its critical status as the greatest film ever made has grown , with numerous essays and books on it including Peter Cowie 's The Cinema of Orson Welles , Ronald Gottesman 's Focus on Citizen Kane , a collection of significant reviews and background pieces , and most notably Kael 's essay , `` Raising Kane '' , which promoted the value of the film to a much wider audience than it had reached before . Despite its criticism of Welles , it further popularized the notion of Citizen Kane as the great American film . The rise of art house and film society circuits also aided in the film 's rediscovery .", "44": "David Thomson said that the film ' grows with every year as America comes to resemble it . '' The British magazine Sight & Sound has produced a Top Ten list surveying film critics every decade since 1952 , and is regarded as one of the most respected barometers of critical taste . Citizen Kane was a runner up to the top 10 in its 1952 poll but was voted as the greatest film ever made in its 1962 poll , retaining the top spot in every subsequent poll until 2012 , when Vertigo displaced it . The film has also ranked number one in the following film `` best of '' lists : Julio Castedo 's The 100 Best Films of the Century , Cahiers du cinéma 's 100 films pour une cinémathèque idéale , Kinovedcheskie Zapiski , Time Out magazine 's Top 100 Films ( Centenary ) , The Village Voice 's 100 Greatest Films , and The Royal Belgian Film Archive 's Most Important and Misappreciated American Films . Roger Ebert called Citizen Kane the greatest film ever made : `` But people do n't always ask about the greatest film . They ask , ' What 's your favorite movie ? ' Again , I always answer with Citizen Kane . '' In 1989 , the United States Library of Congress deemed the film `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry . Citizen Kane was one of the first 25 films inducted into the registry . On February 18 , 1999 , the United States Postal Service honored Citizen Kane by including it in its Celebrate the Century series . The film was honored again February 25 , 2003 , in a series of U.S. postage stamps marking the 75th anniversary of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences . Art director Perry Ferguson represents the behind - the - scenes craftsmen of filmmaking in the series ; he is depicted completing a sketch for Citizen Kane . Citizen Kane was ranked number one in the American Film Institute 's polls of film industry artists and leaders in 1998 and 2007 . `` Rosebud '' was chosen as the 17th most memorable movie quotation in a 2005 AFI poll .", "45": "The film 's score was one of 250 nominees for the top 25 film scores in American cinema in another 2005 AFI poll . In 2012 , the Motion Picture Editors Guild published a list of the 75 best - edited films of all time based on a survey of its membership . Citizen Kane was listed second . The film currently has a 100 % rating at Rotten Tomatoes , based on 75 reviews by approved critics , with an average rating of 9.4 / 10 . The site 's consensus states : `` Orson Welles 's epic tale of a publishing tycoon 's rise and fall is entertaining , poignant , and inventive in its storytelling , earning its reputation as a landmark achievement in film . '' Influence ( edit ) Citizen Kane has been called the most influential film of all time . Richard Corliss has asserted that Jules Dassin 's 1941 film The Tell - Tale Heart was the first example of its influence and the first pop culture reference to the film occurred later in 1941 when the spoof comedy Hellzapoppin ' featured a `` Rosebud '' sled . The film 's cinematography was almost immediately influential and in 1942 American Cinematographer wrote `` without a doubt the most immediately noticeable trend in cinematography methods during the year was the trend toward crisper definition and increased depth of field . '' The cinematography influenced John Huston 's The Maltese Falcon . Cinematographer Arthur Edeson used a wider - angle lens than Toland and the film includes many long takes , low angles and shots of the ceiling , but it did not use deep focus shots on large sets to the extent that Citizen Kane did . Edeson and Toland are often credited together for revolutionizing cinematography in 1941 . Toland 's cinematography influenced his own work on The Best Years of Our Lives . Other films influenced include Gaslight , Mildred Pierce and Jane Eyre . Cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa said that his use of deep focus was influenced by `` the camera work of Gregg Toland in Citizen Kane '' and not by traditional Japanese art .", "46": "Its cinematography , lighting , and flashback structure influenced such film noirs of the 1940s and 1950s as The Killers , Keeper of the Flame , Caught , The Great Man and This Gun for Hire . David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson have written that `` For over a decade thereafter American films displayed exaggerated foregrounds and somber lighting , enhanced by long takes and exaggerated camera movements . '' However , by the 1960s filmmakers such as those from the French New Wave and Cinéma vérité movements favored `` flatter , more shallow images with softer focus '' and Citizen Kane 's style became less fashionable . American filmmakers in the 1970s combined these two approaches by using long takes , rapid cutting , deep focus and telephoto shots all at once . Its use of long takes influenced films such as The Asphalt Jungle , and its use of deep focus cinematography influenced Gun Crazy , The Whip Hand , The Devil 's General and Justice Is Done . The flashback structure in which different characters have conflicting versions of past events influenced La commare secca and Man of Marble . The film 's structure influenced the biographical films Lawrence of Arabia and Mishima : A Life in Four Chapters -- which begin with the subject 's death and show their life in flashbacks -- as well as Welles 's thriller Mr. Arkadin . Rosenbaum sees similarities in the film 's plot to Mr. Arkadin , as well as the theme of nostalgia for loss of innocence throughout Welles 's career , beginning with Citizen Kane and including The Magnificent Ambersons , Mr. Arkadin and Chimes at Midnight . Rosenbaum also points out how the film influenced Warren Beatty 's Reds . The film depicts the life of Jack Reed through the eyes of Louise Bryant , much as Kane 's life is seen through the eyes of Thompson and the people who he interviews . Rosenbaum also compared the romantic montage between Reed and Bryant with the breakfast table montage in Citizen Kane . Akira Kurosawa 's Rashomon is often compared to the film due to both having complicated plot structures told by multiple characters in the film . Welles said his initial idea for the film was `` Basically , the idea Rashomon used later on , '' however Kurosawa had not yet seen the film before making Rashomon in 1950 .", "47": "Nigel Andrews has compared the film 's complex plot structure to Rashomon , Last Year at Marienbad , Memento and Magnolia . Andrews also compares Charles Foster Kane to Michael Corleone in The Godfather , Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull and Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood for their portrayals of `` haunted megalomaniac ( s ) , presiding over the shards of ( their ) own ( lives ) . '' The films of Paul Thomas Anderson have been compared to it . Variety compared There Will Be Blood to the film and called it `` one that rivals Giant and Citizen Kane in our popular lore as origin stories about how we came to be the people we are . '' The Master has been called `` movieland 's only spiritual sequel to Citizen Kane that does n't shrivel under the hefty comparison '' and the film 's loose depiction of L. Ron Hubbard has been compared to Citizen Kane 's depiction of Hearst . The Social Network has been compared to the film for its depiction of a media mogul and by the character Erica Albright being similar to `` Rosebud '' . The controversy of the Sony hacking before the release of The Interview brought comparisons of Hearst 's attempt to suppress the film . The film 's plot structure and some specific shots influenced Todd Haynes 's Velvet Goldmine . Abbas Kiarostami 's The Traveler has been called `` the Citizen Kane of the Iranian children 's cinema . '' The film 's use of overlapping dialogue has influenced the films of Robert Altman and Carol Reed . Reed 's films Odd Man Out , The Third Man ( in which Welles and Cotten appeared ) and Outcast of the Islands were also influenced by the film 's cinematography . Many directors have listed it as one of the greatest films ever made , including Woody Allen , Michael Apted , Les Blank , Kenneth Branagh , Paul Greengrass , Michel Hazanavicius , Michael Mann , Sam Mendes , Jiri Menzel , Paul Schrader , Martin Scorsese , Denys Arcand , Gillian Armstrong , John Boorman , Roger Corman , Alex Cox , Milos Forman , Norman Jewison , Richard Lester , Richard Linklater , Paul Mazursky , Ronald Neame , Sydney Pollack and Stanley Kubrick .", "48": "Yasujirō Ozu said it was his favorite non-Japanese film and was impressed by its techniques . François Truffaut said that the film `` has inspired more vocations to cinema throughout the world than any other '' and recognized its influence in The Barefoot Contessa , Les Mauvaises Rencontres , Lola Montès , and 8 1 / 2 . Truffaut 's Day for Night pays tribute to the film in a dream sequence depicting a childhood memory of the character played by Truffaut stealing publicity photos from the film . Numerous film directors have cited the film as influential on their own films , including Theo Angelopoulos , Luc Besson , the Coen brothers , Francis Ford Coppola , Brian De Palma , John Frankenheimer , Stephen Frears , Sergio Leone , Michael Mann , Ridley Scott , Martin Scorsese , Bryan Singer and Steven Spielberg . Ingmar Bergman disliked the film and called it `` a total bore . Above all , the performances are worthless . The amount of respect that movie has is absolutely unbelievable ! '' William Friedkin said that the film influenced him and called it `` a veritable quarry for filmmakers , just as Joyce 's Ulysses is a quarry for writers . '' The film has also influenced other art forms . Carlos Fuentes 's novel The Death of Artemio Cruz was partially inspired by the film and the rock band The White Stripes paid unauthorized tribute to the film in the song `` The Union Forever '' . Film Memorabilia ( edit ) In 1982 , film director Steven Spielberg bought a `` Rosebud '' sled for $60,500 ; it was one of three balsa sleds used in the closing scenes and the only one that was not burned . After the Spielberg purchase , it was reported that retiree Arthur Bauer claimed to own another `` Rosebud '' sled . In early 1942 when Bauer was 12 he won an RKO publicity contest and selected the hardwood sled as his prize . In 1996 , Bauer 's estate offered the painted pine sled at auction through Christie 's . Bauer 's son told CBS News that his mother had once wanted to paint the sled and use it as a plant stand , but Bauer told her to `` just save it and put it in the closet . '' The sled was sold to an anonymous bidder for $233,500 .", "49": "Welles 's Oscar for Best Original Screenplay was believed to be lost until it was rediscovered in 1994 . It was withdrawn from a 2007 auction at Sotheby 's when bidding failed to reach its estimate of $800,000 to $1.2 million . Owned by the charitable Dax Foundation , it was auctioned for $861,542 in 2011 to an anonymous buyer . Mankiewicz 's Oscar was sold at least twice , in 1999 and again in 2012 , the latest price being $588,455 . In 1989 , Mankiewicz 's personal copy of the Citizen Kane script was auctioned at Christie 's . The leather - bound volume included the final shooting script and a carbon copy of American that bore handwritten annotations -- purportedly made by Hearst 's lawyers , who were said to have obtained it in the manner described by Kael in `` Raising Kane '' . Estimated to bring $70,000 to $90,000 , it sold for a record $231,000 . In 2007 , Welles 's personal copy of the last revised draft of Citizen Kane before the shooting script was sold at Sotheby 's for $97,000 . A second draft of the script titled American , marked `` Mr. Welles ' working copy '' , was auctioned by Sotheby 's in 2014 for $164,692 . A collection of 24 pages from a working script found in Welles 's personal possessions by his daughter Beatrice Welles was auctioned in 2014 for $15,000 . In 2014 , a collection of approximately 235 Citizen Kane stills and production photos that had belonged to Welles was sold at auction for $7,812 . Rights and Home media ( edit ) The composited camera negative of Citizen Kane was destroyed in a New Jersey film laboratory fire in the 1970s . Subsequent prints were derived from a master positive ( a fine - grain preservation element ) made in the 1940s and originally intended for use in overseas distribution . Modern techniques were used to produce a pristine print for a 50th Anniversary theatrical reissue in 1991 which Paramount released for then - owner Turner Broadcasting System , which earned $1.6 million in North America .", "50": "In 1955 , RKO sold the American television rights to its film library , including Citizen Kane , to C&C Television Corp . In 1960 , television rights to the pre-1956 RKO library were acquired by United Artists . RKO kept the non-broadcast television rights to its library . In 1976 , when home video was in its infancy , entrepreneur Snuff Garrett bought cassette rights to the RKO library for what United Press International termed `` a pittance . '' In 1978 The Nostalgia Merchant released the film through Media Home Entertainment . By 1980 the 800 - title library of The Nostalgia Merchant was earning $2.3 million a year . `` Nobody wanted cassettes four years ago , '' Garrett told UPI . `` It was n't the first time people called me crazy . It was a hobby with me which became big business . '' RKO Home Video released the film on VHS and Betamax in 1985 . In 1984 , The Criterion Collection released the film as its first LaserDisc . It was made from a fine grain master positive provided by the UCLA Film and Television Archive . When told about the then - new concept of having an audio commentary on the disc , Welles was skeptical but said `` theoretically , that 's good for teaching movies , so long as they do n't talk nonsense . '' In 1992 Criterion released a new 50th Anniversary Edition LaserDisc . This version had an improved transfer and additional special features , including the documentary The Legacy of Citizen Kane and Welles 's early short The Hearts of Age . Turner Broadcasting System acquired broadcast television rights to the RKO library in 1986 and the full worldwide rights to the library in 1987 . The RKO Home Video unit was reorganized into Turner Home Entertainment that year . In 1991 Turner released a 50th Anniversary Edition on VHS and as a collector 's edition that includes the film , the documentary Reflections On Citizen Kane , Harlan Lebo 's 50th anniversary album , a poster and a copy of the original script . In 1996 , Time Warner acquired Turner and Warner Home Video absorbed Turner Home Entertainment . Today , Time Warner 's Warner Bros. unit has distribution rights for the film .", "51": "In 2001 , Warner Home Video released a 60th Anniversary Collectors Edition DVD . The two - disc DVD included feature - length commentaries by Roger Ebert and Peter Bogdanovich , as well as The Battle Over Citizen Kane . It was simultaneously released on VHS . The DVD was criticized for being `` too bright , too clean ; the dirt and grime had been cleared away , but so had a good deal of the texture , the depth , and the sense of film grain . '' In 2003 , Welles 's daughter Beatrice Welles sued Turner Entertainment , claiming the Welles estate is the legal copyright holder of the film . She claimed that Welles 's deal to terminate his contracts with RKO meant that Turner 's copyright of the film was null and void . She also claimed that the estate of Orson Welles was owed 20 % of the film 's profits if her copyright claim was not upheld . In 2007 she was allowed to proceed with the lawsuit , overturning the 2004 decision in favor of Turner Entertainment on the issue of video rights . In 2011 , it was released on Blu - ray Disc and DVD in a 70th anniversary box set . The San Francisco Chronicle called it `` the Blu - ray release of the year . '' Supplements included everything available on the 2001 Warner Home Video release , as well as RKO 281 and packaging extras that include a hardcover booklet and a folio containing a reproduction of the original souvenir program , miniature lobby cards and other memorabilia . The Blu - ray DVD was scanned as 4K resolution from three different 35mm prints and rectified the quality issues of the 2001 DVD . Colorization controversy ( edit ) In the 1980s , Citizen Kane became a catalyst in the controversy over the colorization of black - and - white films . One proponent of film colorization was Ted Turner , whose Turner Entertainment Company owned the RKO library . A Turner Entertainment spokesperson initially stated that Citizen Kane would not be colorized , but in July 1988 Turner said , `` Citizen Kane ? I 'm thinking of colorizing it . '' In early 1989 it was reported that two companies were producing color tests for Turner Entertainment .", "52": "Criticism increased when filmmaker Henry Jaglom stated that shortly before his death Welles had implored him `` do n't let Ted Turner deface my movie with his crayons . '' In February 1989 , Turner Entertainment president Roger Mayer announced that work to colorize the film had been stopped due to provisions in Welles 's 1939 contract with RKO that `` could be read to prohibit colorization without permission of the Welles estate . '' Mayer added that Welles 's contract was `` quite unusual '' and `` other contracts we have checked out are not like this at all . '' Turner had only colorized the final reel of the film before abandoning the project . In 1991 one minute of the colorized test footage was included in the BBC Arena documentary The Complete Citizen Kane . The colorization controversy was a factor in the passage of the National Film Preservation Act in 1988 which created the National Film Registry the following year . ABC News anchor Peter Jennings reported that `` one major reason for doing this is to require people like the broadcaster Ted Turner , who 's been adding color to some movies and re-editing others for television , to put notices on those versions saying that the movies have been altered '' .

Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` I did a very elaborate production for ( Heart of Darkness ) , such as I 've never done again -- never could , '' Welles said . `` I shot my bolt on preproduction on that picture . We designed every camera setup and everything else -- did enormous research in aboriginal , Stone Age cultures in order to reproduce what the story called for . I 'm sorry not to have got the chance to do it . '' Jump up ^ Welles later used the subjective camera in The Magnificent Ambersons , in a sequence that was later all but eliminated because it did not work in that picture . `` Heart of Darkness is one of the few stories that it 's very well adapted to , because it relies so heavily on narration , '' Welles said .", "55": "`` The camera was going to be Marlow ... He 's in the pilot house and he can see himself reflected in the glass through which you see the jungle . So it is n't that business of a hand - held camera mooching around pretending to walk like a man . '' Jump up ^ First published in Critical Inquiry , `` The Scripts of Citizen Kane '' was described by Rosenbaum as `` the definitive piece of scholarship on the authorship of Kane -- and sadly one of the least well known '' . He wrote that many biographers may wrongly assume that Carringer included all of its facts in his later book , The Making of Citizen Kane . Jump up ^ Welles states , `` There 's all that stuff about McCormick and the opera . I drew a lot from that from my Chicago days . And Samuel Insull . '' Jump up ^ Charlie Lederer insisted that Hearst and Davies never saw Citizen Kane and condemned it based on the outrage of trusted friends , wrote his stepdaughter ( and Welles 's daughter ) Chris Welles Feder . `` In Charlie 's view , Hearst was more distressed by the movie 's insinuation ... that Marion was a failed and pathetic alcoholic that he was by any unflattering references to himself . '' Jump up ^ According to RKO records , Sloane was paid $2,400 for shaving his head . Jump up ^ Speaking to Bogdanovich , Welles corrects himself when speaking about who suggested the `` test '' shooting : `` That was Toland 's idea -- no , it was Ferguson 's idea , the art director . '' Jump up ^ `` I used the whole Mercury cast , heavily disguised by darkness , '' Welles said . `` And there they all are -- if you look carefully , you can see them . Everybody in the movie is in it ... Yes , I 'm there . '' Jump up ^ No figures can be found for the cost of filming Susan 's attempted suicide , but filming the nightclub scene was budgeted at $1,038 and cost $1,376.79 . Jump up ^ `` It took nerve to shoot from down there , with that steel brace right in front of the camera , but I thought rightly that at that point they 'd be looking at Leland and not at me . ''", "56": "Jump up ^ Speaking of the credit given Toland , Welles said , `` Nobody in those days -- only the stars , the director , and the producer -- got separate cards . Gregg deserved it , did n't he ? '' Jump up ^ Such respect for Toland was not without precedent . John Ford had also shared his title card with the cinematographer in the opening credits for The Long Voyage Home ( 1940 ) . Jump up ^ Seiderman 's work with contact lenses in films led to a medical formula for soft contact lenses that he developed in the 1970s . Jump up ^ After becoming head of the RKO make - up department , Seiderman left in 1946 to help recreate faces for disfigured U.S. soldiers . Jump up ^ Kevin Brownlow believes that Lean 's brother David was influential on ( if not co-writer of ) this review . Years later Welles thanked David Lean for the article . Jump up ^ 871,261 admissions Jump up ^ Bordwell has hypothesized that Bazin was influenced by publicity about the film 's innovations that were published in France during its first release . These included interviews by Welles and the publication of Toland 's article `` The Motion Picture Cameraman '' in the January 1947 issue of La Revue du Cinéma . Bordwell believes that Bazin was aware of the legend of film 's innovations before having seen it . Jump up ^ Another early pop culture reference occurred in Welles 's The Magnificent Ambersons , which includes a brief glimpse of a newspaper article written by `` Jed Leland '' . Jump up ^ The same item had been sold by Christie 's in December 1991 , together with a working script from The Magnificent Ambersons , for $11,000 .

Max : 24 kn ( 44 km / h ; 28 mph ) Capacity : Passengers : 2,435 , crew : 892 . Total : 3,327 ( or 3,547 according to other sources ) Notes : Lifeboats : 20 ( sufficient for 1,178 people ) RMS Titanic ( / taɪˈtænɪk / ) was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early hours of 15 April 1912 , after colliding with an iceberg during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City . There were an estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard , and more than 1,500 died , making it one of the deadliest commercial peacetime maritime disasters in modern history . RMS Titanic was the largest ship afloat at the time it entered service and was the second of three Olympic - class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line . It was built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast . Thomas Andrews , her architect , died in the disaster . Titanic was under the command of Edward Smith , who also went down with the ship .", "2": "The ocean liner carried some of the wealthiest people in the world , as well as hundreds of emigrants from Great Britain and Ireland , Scandinavia and elsewhere throughout Europe who were seeking a new life in the United States . The first - class accommodation was designed to be the pinnacle of comfort and luxury , with an on - board gymnasium , swimming pool , libraries , high - class restaurants and opulent cabins . A high - powered radiotelegraph transmitter was available for sending passenger `` marconigrams '' and for the ship 's operational use . Although Titanic had advanced safety features such as watertight compartments and remotely activated watertight doors , Titanic only carried enough lifeboats for 1,178 people -- about half the number on board , and one third of her total capacity -- due to outdated maritime safety regulations . The ship carried 16 lifeboat davits which could lower three lifeboats each , for a total of 48 boats . However , Titanic carried only a total of 20 lifeboats , four of which were collapsible and proved hard to launch during the sinking . After leaving Southampton on 10 April 1912 , Titanic called at Cherbourg in France and Queenstown ( now Cobh ) in Ireland before heading west to New York . On 14 April , four days into the crossing and about 375 miles ( 600 km ) south of Newfoundland , she hit an iceberg at 11 : 40 p.m. ship 's time . The collision caused the hull plates to buckle inwards along her starboard ( right ) side and opened five of her sixteen watertight compartments to the sea ; she could only survive four flooding . Meanwhile , passengers and some crew members were evacuated in lifeboats , many of which were launched only partially loaded . A disproportionate number of men were left aboard because of a `` women and children first '' protocol for loading lifeboats . At 2 : 20 a.m. , she broke apart and foundered with well over one thousand people still aboard . Just under two hours after Titanic sank , the Cunard liner RMS Carpathia arrived and brought aboard an estimated 705 survivors . The disaster was met with worldwide shock and outrage at the huge loss of life and the regulatory and operational failures that led to it . Public inquiries in Britain and the United States led to major improvements in maritime safety .", "3": "One of their most important legacies was the establishment in 1914 of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea ( SOLAS ) , which still governs maritime safety today . Additionally , several new wireless regulations were passed around the world in an effort to learn from the many missteps in wireless communications -- which could have saved many more passengers . The wreck of Titanic was discovered in 1985 ( more than 70 years after the disaster ) , and remains on the seabed . The ship was split in two and is gradually disintegrating at a depth of 12,415 feet ( 3,784 m ) . Thousands of artefacts have been recovered and displayed at museums around the world . Titanic has become one of the most famous ships in history ; her memory is kept alive by numerous works of popular culture , including books , folk songs , films , exhibits , and memorials . Titanic is the second largest ocean liner wreck in the world , only beaten by her sister HMHS Britannic , the largest ever sunk . The final survivor of the sinking , Millvina Dean , aged two months at the time , died in 2009 at the age of 97 .

Built in Belfast , Ireland , in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ( as it was then known ) , the RMS Titanic was the second of the three Olympic - class ocean liners -- the first was the RMS Olympic and the third was the HMHS Britannic . They were by far the largest vessels of the British shipping company White Star Line 's fleet , which comprised 29 steamers and tenders in 1912 . The three ships had their genesis in a discussion in mid-1907 between the White Star Line 's chairman , J. Bruce Ismay , and the American financier J.P. Morgan , who controlled the White Star Line 's parent corporation , the International Mercantile Marine Co . ( IMM ) . The White Star Line faced an increasing challenge from its main rivals Cunard , which had recently launched the Lusitania and the Mauretania -- the fastest passenger ships then in service -- and the German lines Hamburg America and Norddeutscher Lloyd . Ismay preferred to compete on size rather than speed and proposed to commission a new class of liners that would be larger than anything that had gone before as well as being the last word in comfort and luxury . The company sought an upgrade in their fleet primarily in response to the Cunard giants but also to replace their oldest pair of passenger ships still in service , being the SS Teutonic of 1889 and SS Majestic of 1890 . Teutonic was replaced by Olympic while Majestic was replaced by Titanic . Majestic would be brought back into her old spot on White Star 's New York service after Titanic 's loss . The ships were constructed by the Belfast shipbuilders Harland and Wolff , who had a long - established relationship with the White Star Line dating back to 1867 .", "5": "Harland and Wolff were given a great deal of latitude in designing ships for the White Star Line ; the usual approach was for the latter to sketch out a general concept which the former would take away and turn into a ship design . Cost considerations were relatively low on the agenda and Harland and Wolff was authorised to spend what it needed on the ships , plus a five percent profit margin . In the case of the Olympic - class ships , a cost of £ 3 million ( £ 250 million in 2015 money ) for the first two ships was agreed plus `` extras to contract '' and the usual five percent fee . Harland and Wolff put their leading designers to work designing the Olympic - class vessels . The design was overseen by Lord Pirrie , a director of both Harland and Wolff and the White Star Line ; naval architect Thomas Andrews , the managing director of Harland and Wolff 's design department ; Edward Wilding , Andrews ' deputy and responsible for calculating the ship 's design , stability and trim ; and Alexander Carlisle , the shipyard 's chief draughtsman and general manager . Carlisle 's responsibilities included the decorations , equipment and all general arrangements , including the implementation of an efficient lifeboat davit design . On 29 July 1908 , Harland and Wolff presented the drawings to J. Bruce Ismay and other White Star Line executives . Ismay approved the design and signed three `` letters of agreement '' two days later , authorising the start of construction . At this point the first ship -- which was later to become Olympic -- had no name , but was referred to simply as `` Number 400 '' , as it was Harland and Wolff 's four hundredth hull . Titanic was based on a revised version of the same design and was given the number 401 . Dimensions and layout Titanic in 1912 Titanic was 882 feet 9 inches ( 269.06 m ) long with a maximum breadth of 92 feet 6 inches ( 28.19 m ) . Her total height , measured from the base of the keel to the top of the bridge , was 104 feet ( 32 m ) . She measured 46,328 gross register tons and with a draught of 34 feet 7 inches ( 10.54 m ) , she displaced 52,310 tons .", "6": "All three of the Olympic - class ships had ten decks ( excluding the top of the officers ' quarters ) , eight of which were for passenger use . From top to bottom , the decks were : The Boat Deck , on which the lifeboats were housed . It was from here during the early hours of 15 April 1912 that Titanic 's lifeboats were lowered into the North Atlantic . The bridge and wheelhouse were at the forward end , in front of the captain 's and officers ' quarters . The bridge stood 8 feet ( 2.4 m ) above the deck , extending out to either side so that the ship could be controlled while docking . The wheelhouse stood directly behind and above the bridge . The entrance to the First Class Grand Staircase and gymnasium were located midships along with the raised roof of the First Class lounge , while at the rear of the deck were the roof of the First Class smoke room and the relatively modest Second Class entrance . The wood - covered deck was divided into four segregated promenades : for officers , First Class passengers , engineers , and Second Class passengers respectively . Lifeboats lined the side of the deck except in the First Class area , where there was a gap so that the view would not be spoiled . A Deck , also called the Promenade Deck , extended along the entire 546 feet ( 166 m ) length of the superstructure . It was reserved exclusively for First Class passengers and contained First Class cabins , the First Class lounge , smoke room , reading and writing rooms and Palm Court . B Deck , the Bridge Deck , was the top weight - bearing deck and the uppermost level of the hull . More First Class passenger accommodations were located here with six palatial staterooms ( cabins ) featuring their own private promenades . On Titanic , the À La Carte Restaurant and the Café Parisien provided luxury dining facilities to First Class passengers . Both were run by subcontracted chefs and their staff ; all were lost in the disaster . The Second Class smoking room and entrance hall were both located on this deck . The raised forecastle of the ship was forward of the Bridge Deck , accommodating Number 1 hatch ( the main hatch through to the cargo holds ) , numerous pieces of machinery and the anchor housings .", "7": "Aft of the Bridge Deck was the raised Poop Deck , 106 feet ( 32 m ) long , used as a promenade by Third Class passengers . It was where many of Titanic 's passengers and crew made their last stand as the ship sank . The forecastle and Poop Deck were separated from the Bridge Deck by well decks . C Deck , the Shelter Deck , was the highest deck to run uninterrupted from stem to stern . It included both well decks ; the aft one served as part of the Third Class promenade . Crew cabins were housed below the forecastle and Third Class public rooms were housed below the Poop Deck . In between were the majority of First Class cabins and the Second Class library . D Deck , the Saloon Deck , was dominated by three large public rooms -- the First Class Reception Room , the First Class Dining Saloon and the Second Class Dining Saloon . An open space was provided for Third Class passengers . First , Second and Third Class passengers had cabins on this deck , with berths for firemen located in the bow . It was the highest level reached by the ship 's watertight bulkheads ( though only by eight of the fifteen bulkheads ) . E Deck , the Upper Deck , was predominantly used for passenger accommodation for all three classes plus berths for cooks , seamen , stewards and trimmers . Along its length ran a long passageway nicknamed Scotland Road , in reference to a famous street in Liverpool . Scotland Road was used by Third Class passengers and crew members . F Deck , the Middle Deck , was the last complete deck and mainly accommodated Second and Third Class passengers and several departments of the crew . The Third Class dining saloon was located here , as were the swimming pool and Turkish bath . G Deck , the Lower Deck , was the lowest complete deck that carried passengers , and had the lowest portholes , just above the waterline . The squash court was located here along with the traveling post office where letters and parcels were sorted ready for delivery when the ship docked . Food was also stored here . The deck was interrupted at several points by orlop ( partial ) decks over the boiler , engine and turbine rooms . The Orlop Decks and the Tank Top below that were on the lowest level of the ship , below the waterline .", "8": "The orlop decks were used as cargo spaces , while the Tank Top -- the inner bottom of the ship 's hull -- provided the platform on which the ship 's boilers , engines , turbines and electrical generators were housed . This area of the ship was occupied by the engine and boiler rooms , areas which passengers would have been prohibited from seeing . They were connected with higher levels of the ship by flights of stairs ; twin spiral stairways near the bow provided access up to D Deck . Features Power Rudder with central and port wing propellers for scale note the man at bottom of the photo Titanic was equipped with three main engines -- two reciprocating four - cylinder , triple - expansion steam engines and one centrally placed low - pressure Parsons turbine -- each driving a propeller . The two reciprocating engines had a combined output of 30,000 hp and a further 16,000 hp was contributed by the turbine . The White Star Line had used the same combination of engines on an earlier liner , the SS Laurentic , where it had been a great success . It provided a good combination of performance and speed ; reciprocating engines by themselves were not powerful enough to propel an Olympic - class liner at the desired speeds , while turbines were sufficiently powerful but caused uncomfortable vibrations , a problem that affected the all - turbine Cunard liners Lusitania and Mauretania . By combining reciprocating engines with a turbine , fuel usage could be reduced and motive power increased , while using the same amount of steam . The two reciprocating engines were each 63 feet ( 19 m ) long and weighed 720 tons , with their bedplates contributing a further 195 tons . They were powered by steam produced in 29 boilers , 24 of which were double - ended and five single - ended , which contained a total of 159 furnaces . The boilers were 15 feet 9 inches ( 4.80 m ) in diameter and 20 feet ( 6.1 m ) long , each weighing 91.5 tons and capable of holding 48.5 tons of water . They were heated by burning coal , 6,611 tons of which could be carried in Titanic 's bunkers , with a further 1,092 tons in Hold 3 .", "9": "The furnaces required over 600 tons of coal a day to be shovelled into them by hand , requiring the services of 176 firemen working around the clock . 100 tons of ash a day had to be disposed of by ejecting it into the sea . The work was relentless , dirty and dangerous , and although firemen were paid relatively generously there was a high suicide rate among those who worked in that capacity . Exhaust steam leaving the reciprocating engines was fed into the turbine , which was situated aft . From there it passed into a surface condenser , to increase the efficiency of the turbine and so that the steam could be condensed back into water and reused . The engines were attached directly to long shafts which drove the propellers . There were three , one for each engine ; the outer ( or wing ) propellers were the largest , each carrying three blades of manganese - bronze alloy with a total diameter of 23.5 feet ( 7.2 m ) . The middle propeller was slightly smaller at 17 feet ( 5.2 m ) in diameter , and could be stopped but not reversed . Titanic 's electrical plant was capable of producing more power than an average city power station of the time . Immediately aft of the turbine engine were four 400 kW steam - driven electric generators , used to provide electrical power to the ship , plus two 30 kW auxiliary generators for emergency use . Their location in the stern of the ship meant they remained operational until the last few minutes before the ship sank . Technology Watertight compartments and funnels The interiors of the Olympic - class ships were subdivided into 16 primary compartments divided by 15 bulkheads which extended well above the waterline . Eleven vertically closing watertight doors could seal off the compartments in the event of an emergency . The ship 's exposed decking was made of pine and teak , while interior ceilings were covered in painted granulated cork to combat condensation . Standing above the decks were four funnels , each painted buff with black tops , ( though only three were functional -- the last one was a dummy , installed for aesthetic purposes and also for kitchen ventilation ) -- and two masts , each 155 feet ( 47 m ) high , which supported derricks for working cargo .", "10": "Rudder and steering engines Titanic 's rudder was so large -- at 78 feet 8 inches ( 23.98 m ) high and 15 feet 3 inches ( 4.65 m ) long , weighing over 100 tons -- that it required steering engines to move it . Two steam - powered steering engines were installed though only one was used at any one time , with the other one kept in reserve . They were connected to the short tiller through stiff springs , to isolate the steering engines from any shocks in heavy seas or during fast changes of direction . As a last resort , the tiller could be moved by ropes connected to two steam capstans . The capstans were also used to raise and lower the ship 's five anchors ( one port , one starboard , one in the centreline and two kedging anchors ) . Water , ventilation and heating The ship was equipped with her own waterworks , capable of heating and pumping water to all parts of the vessel via a complex network of pipes and valves . The main water supply was taken aboard while Titanic was in port , but in an emergency the ship could also distil fresh water from seawater , though this was not a straightforward process as the distillation plant quickly became clogged by salt deposits . A network of insulated ducts conveyed warm air , driven by electric fans , around the ship , and First Class cabins were fitted with additional electric heaters . Radio communications Marconi company receiving equipment for a 5 kilowatt ocean liner station . Titanic 's radiotelegraph equipment ( then known as wireless telegraphy ) was leased to the White Star Line by the Marconi International Marine Communication Company , which also supplied two of its employees , Jack Phillips and Harold Bride , as operators . The service maintained a 24 - hour schedule , primarily sending and receiving passenger telegrams , but also handling navigation messages including weather reports and ice warnings . The radio room was located on the Boat Deck , in the officers ' quarters . A soundproofed `` Silent Room '' , next to the operating room , housed loud equipment , including the transmitter and a motor - generator used for producing alternating currents . The operators ' living quarters were adjacent to the working office .", "11": "The ship was equipped with a ' state of the art ' 5 kilowatt rotary spark - gap transmitter , operating under the radio callsign MGY , and communication was conducted in Morse code . This transmitter was one of the first Marconi installations to use a rotary spark gap , which gave Titanic a distinctive musical tone that could be readily distinguished from other signals . The transmitter was one of the most powerful in the world , and guaranteed to broadcast over a radius of 350 miles ( 563 km ) . An elevated T - antenna that spanned the length of the ship was used for transmitting and receiving . The normal operating frequency was 500 kHz ( 600 m wavelength ) , however the equipment could also operate on the `` short '' wavelength of 1000 kHz ( 300 m wavelength ) that was employed by smaller vessels with shorter antennas .

( April 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Further information : First class facilities of the RMS Titanic and Second and Third - Class Facilities on the RMS Titanic The passenger facilities aboard Titanic aimed to meet the highest standards of luxury . According to Titanic 's general arrangement plans , the ship could accommodate 833 First Class Passengers , 614 in Second Class and 1,006 in Third Class , for a total passenger capacity of 2,453 . In addition , her capacity for crew members exceeded 900 , as most documents of her original configuration have stated that her full carrying capacity for both passengers and crew was approximately 3,547 . Her interior design was a departure from that of other passenger liners , which had typically been decorated in the rather heavy style of a manor house or an English country house . Titanic was laid out in a much lighter style similar to that of contemporary high - class hotels -- the Ritz Hotel was a reference point -- with First Class cabins finished in the Empire style . A variety of other decorative styles , ranging from the Renaissance to Louis XV , were used to decorate cabins and public rooms in First and Second Class areas of the ship .", "12": "The aim was to convey an impression that the passengers were in a floating hotel rather than a ship ; as one passenger recalled , on entering the ship 's interior a passenger would `` at once lose the feeling that we are on board ship , and seem instead to be entering the hall of some great house on shore '' . Among the more novel features available to first - class passengers was a 7 ft. deep saltwater swimming pool , a gymnasium , a squash court , and a Turkish bath which comprised electric bath , steam room , cool room , massage room , and hot room . First - class common rooms were impressive in scope and lavishly decorated . They included a Lounge in the style of the Palace of Versailles , an enormous Reception Room , a men 's Smoking Room , and a Reading and Writing Room . There was an À la Carte Restaurant in the style of the Ritz Hotel which was run as a concession by the famous Italian restaurateur Gaspare Gatti . A Café Parisien decorated in the style of a French sidewalk café , complete with ivy covered trellises and wicker furniture , was run as an annex to the restaurant . For an extra cost , first - class passengers could enjoy the finest French haute cuisine in the most luxurious of surroundings . There was also a Verandah Café where tea and light refreshments were served , that offered grand views of the ocean . At 114 ft. long X 92 ft. wide , the Dining Saloon on D - Deck was the largest room afloat and could seat almost 600 passengers at a time . Third Class ( commonly referred to as Steerage ) accommodations aboard Titanic were not as luxurious as First or Second Class , but even so were better than on many other ships of the time . They reflected the improved standards which the White Star Line had adopted for trans - Atlantic immigrant and lower - class travel . On most other North Atlantic passenger ships at the time , Third Class accommodations consisted of little more than open dormitories in the forward end of the vessels , in which hundreds of people were confined , often without adequate food or toilet facilities . The White Star Line had long since broken that mould . As seen aboard Titanic , all White Star Line passenger ships divided their Third Class accommodations into two sections , always at opposite ends of the vessel from one another .", "13": "The established arrangement was that single men were quartered in the forward areas , while single women , married couples and families were quartered aft . In addition , while other ships provided only open berth sleeping arrangements , White Star Line vessels provided their Third Class passengers with private , small but comfortable cabins capable of accommodating two , four , six , eight and 10 passengers . Third Class accommodations also included their own dining rooms , as well as public gathering areas including adequate open deck space , which aboard Titanic comprised the Poop Deck at the stern , the forward and aft well decks , and a large open space on D Deck which could be used as a social hall . This was supplemented by the addition of a smoking room for men and a General Room on C Deck which women could use for reading and writing . Although they were not as glamorous in design as spaces seen in upper class accommodations , they were still far above average for the period . Leisure facilities were provided for all three classes to pass the time . As well as making use of the indoor amenities such as the library , smoking rooms , and gymnasium , it was also customary for passengers to socialise on the open deck , promenading or relaxing in hired deck chairs or wooden benches . A passenger list was published before the sailing to inform the public which members of the great and good were on board , and it was not uncommon for ambitious mothers to use the list to identify rich bachelors to whom they could introduce their marriageable daughters during the voyage . One of Titanic 's most distinctive features was her First Class staircase , known as the Grand Staircase or Grand Stairway . Built of solid English oak with a sweeping curve , the staircase descended through seven decks of the ship , between the Boat Deck to E deck , before terminating in a simplified single flight on F Deck . It was capped with a dome of wrought iron and glass that admitted natural light to the stairwell . Each landing off the staircase gave access to ornate entrance halls paneled in the William & Mary style and lit by ormolu and crystal light fixtures . At the uppermost landing was a large carved wooden panel containing a clock , with figures of `` Honour and Glory Crowning Time '' flanking the clock face . The Grand Staircase was destroyed during the sinking and is now just a void in the ship which modern explorers have used to access the lower decks .", "14": "During the filming of James Cameron 's Titanic in 1997 , his replica of the Grand Staircase was ripped from its foundations by the force of the inrushing water on the set . It has been suggested that during the real event , the entire Grand Staircase was ejected upwards through the dome . The gymnasium on the Boat Deck , which was equipped with the latest exercise machines The famous Grand Staircase , which connected Boat Deck and E Deck Swimming Pool on Olympic , Titanic 's near identical sister ship Mail and cargo La Circassienne au Bain ; the most highly valued item of cargo lost on the Titanic . Although Titanic was primarily a passenger liner , she also carried a substantial amount of cargo . Her designation as a Royal Mail Ship ( RMS ) indicated that she carried mail under contract with the Royal Mail ( and also for the United States Post Office Department ) . For the storage of letters , parcels and specie ( bullion , coins and other valuables ) , 26,800 cubic feet ( 760 m ) of space in her holds was allocated . The Sea Post Office on G Deck was manned by five postal clerks ; three Americans and two Britons , who worked 13 hours a day , seven days a week sorting up to 60,000 items daily . The ship 's passengers brought with them a huge amount of baggage ; another 19,455 cubic feet ( 550.9 m ) was taken up by first - and second - class baggage . In addition , there was a considerable quantity of regular cargo , ranging from furniture to foodstuffs , and a 1912 Renault Type CE Coupe de Ville motor car . Despite later myths , the cargo on Titanic 's maiden voyage was fairly mundane ; there was no gold , exotic minerals or diamonds , and one of the more famous items lost in the shipwreck , a jewelled copy of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam , was valued at only £ 405 ( £ 36,800 today ) . According to the claims for compensation filed with Commissioner Gilchrist , following the conclusion of the Senate Inquiry , the single most highly valued item of luggage or cargo was a large neoclassical oil painting entitled La Circassienne au Bain by French artist Merry - Joseph Blondel .", "15": "The painting 's owner , first class passenger Mauritz Håkan Björnström - Steffansson , filed a claim for $100,000 ( $2.4 million equivalent in 2014 ) in compensation for the loss of the artwork . Titanic was equipped with eight electric cranes , four electric winches and three steam winches to lift cargo and baggage in and out of the hold . It is estimated that the ship used some 415 tons of coal whilst in Southampton , simply generating steam to operate the cargo winches and provide heat and light . Lifeboats Main article : Lifeboats of the RMS Titanic A collapsible lifeboat with canvas sides Titanic carried a total of 20 lifeboats : 14 standard wooden Harland and Wolff lifeboats with a capacity of 65 people each and four Englehardt `` collapsible '' ( wooden bottom , collapsible canvas sides ) lifeboats ( identified as A to D ) with a capacity of 47 people each . In addition , she had two emergency cutters with a capacity of 40 people each . Olympic herself did not even carry the four collapsibles A -- D during the 1911 -- 12 season . All of the lifeboats were stowed securely on the boat deck and , except for collapsible lifeboats A and B , connected to davits by ropes . Those on the starboard side were odd - numbered 1 -- 15 from bow to stern , while those on the port side were even - numbered 2 -- 16 from bow to stern . Both cutters were kept swung out , hanging from the davits , ready for immediate use , while collapsible lifeboats C and D were stowed on the boat deck ( connected to davits ) immediately inboard of boats 1 and 2 respectively . A and B were stored on the roof of the officers ' quarters , on either side of number 1 funnel . There were no davits to lower them and their weight would make them difficult to launch by hand . Each boat carried ( among other things ) food , water , blankets , and a spare life belt . Lifeline ropes on the boats ' sides enabled them to save additional people from the water if necessary . Titanic had 16 sets of davits , each able to handle four lifeboats .", "16": "This gave Titanic the ability to carry up to 64 wooden lifeboats which would have been enough for 4,000 people -- considerably more than her actual capacity . However , the White Star Line decided that only 16 wooden lifeboats and four collapsibles would be carried , which could accommodate 1,178 people , only one - third of Titanic 's total capacity . At the time , the Board of Trade 's regulations required British vessels over 10,000 tons to only carry 16 lifeboats with a capacity of 990 occupants . Therefore , the White Star Line actually provided more lifeboat accommodation than was legally required . At the time , lifeboats were intended to ferry survivors from a sinking ship to a rescuing ship -- not keep afloat the whole population or power them to shore . Had the SS Californian responded to Titanic 's distress calls , the lifeboats may have been adequate to ferry the passengers to safety as planned . Building and preparing the ship Construction , launch and fitting - out Play media Titanic Disaster -- Genuine Footage ( 1911 -- 1912 ) The sheer size of Titanic and her sister ships posed a major engineering challenge for Harland and Wolff ; no shipbuilder had ever before attempted to construct vessels this size . The ships were constructed on Queen 's Island , now known as the Titanic Quarter , in Belfast Harbour . Harland and Wolff had to demolish three existing slipways and build two new ones , the largest ever constructed up to that time , to accommodate both ships . Their construction was facilitated by an enormous gantry built by Sir William Arrol & Co. , a Scottish firm responsible for the building of the Forth Bridge and London 's Tower Bridge . The Arrol Gantry stood 228 feet ( 69 m ) high , was 270 feet ( 82 m ) wide and 840 feet ( 260 m ) long , and weighed more than 6,000 tons . It accommodated a number of mobile cranes . A separate floating crane , capable of lifting 200 tons , was brought in from Germany . The construction of Olympic and Titanic took place virtually in parallel , with Olympic 's keel laid down first on 16 December 1908 and Titanic 's on 31 March 1909 . Both ships took about 26 months to build and followed much the same construction process .", "17": "They were designed essentially as an enormous floating box girder , with the keel acting as a backbone and the frames of the hull forming the ribs . At the base of the ships , a double bottom 5 feet 3 inches ( 1.60 m ) deep supported 300 frames , each between 24 inches ( 61 cm ) and 36 inches ( 91 cm ) apart and measuring up to about 66 feet ( 20 m ) long . They terminated at the bridge deck ( B Deck ) and were covered with steel plates which formed the outer skin of the ships . The 2,000 hull plates were single pieces of rolled steel plate , mostly up to 6 feet ( 1.8 m ) wide and 30 feet ( 9.1 m ) long and weighing between 2.5 and 3 tons . Their thickness varied from 1 inch ( 2.5 cm ) to 1.5 inches ( 3.8 cm ) . The plates were laid in a clinkered ( overlapping ) fashion from the keel to the bilge . Above that point they were laid in the `` in and out '' fashion , where strake plating was applied in bands ( the `` in strakes '' ) with the gaps covered by the `` out strakes '' , overlapping on the edges . Commercial oxy - fuel and electric arc welding methods , ubiquitous in fabrication today , were still in their infancy ; like most other iron and steel structures of the era , the hull was held together with over three million iron and steel rivets , which by themselves weighed over 1,200 tons . They were fitted using hydraulic machines or were hammered in by hand . In the 1990s some material scientists concluded that the steel plate used for the ship was subject to being especially brittle when cold , and that this brittleness exacerbated the impact damage and hastened the sinking . It is believed that , by the standards of the time , the steel plate 's quality was good , not faulty , but that it was inferior to what would be used for shipbuilding purposes in later decades , owing to advances in the metallurgy of steelmaking . As for the rivets , considerable emphasis has also been placed on their quality and strength . One of the last items to be fitted on Titanic before the ship 's launch was her two side anchors and one centre anchor .", "18": "The anchors themselves were a challenge to make with the centre anchor being the largest ever forged by hand and weighing nearly 16 tons . Twenty Clydesdale draught horses were needed to haul the centre anchor by wagon from the Noah Hingley & Sons Ltd forge shop in Netherton , near Dudley , United Kingdom to the Dudley railway station two miles away . From there it was shipped by rail to Fleetwood in Lancashire before being loaded aboard a ship and sent to Belfast . The work of constructing the ships was difficult and dangerous . For the 15,000 men who worked at Harland and Wolff at the time , safety precautions were rudimentary at best ; a lot of the work was dangerous and was carried out without any safety equipment like hard hats or hand guards on machinery . As a result , deaths and injuries were to be expected . During Titanic 's construction , 246 injuries were recorded , 28 of them `` severe '' , such as arms severed by machines or legs crushed under falling pieces of steel . Six people died on the ship herself while she was being constructed and fitted out , and another two died in the shipyard workshops and sheds . Just before the launch a worker was killed when a piece of wood fell on him . Titanic was launched at 12 : 15 p.m. on 31 May 1911 in the presence of Lord Pirrie , J. Pierpoint Morgan , J. Bruce Ismay and 100,000 onlookers. 22 tons of soap and tallow were spread on the slipway to lubricate the ship 's passage into the River Lagan . In keeping with the White Star Line 's traditional policy , the ship was not formally named or christened with champagne . The ship was towed to a fitting - out berth where , over the course of the next year , her engines , funnels and superstructure were installed and her interior was fitted out . Although Titanic was virtually identical to the class 's lead ship Olympic , a few changes were made to distinguish both ships . The most noticeable exterior difference was that Titanic ( and the third vessel in class , Britannic ) had a steel screen with sliding windows installed along the forward half of the A Deck promenade . This was installed as a last minute change at the personal request of Bruce Ismay , and was intended to provide additional shelter to first class passengers .", "19": "Extensive changes were made to B Deck on Titanic as the promenade space in this deck , which had proven unpopular on Olympic was converted into additional First Class cabins , including two opulent parlour suites with their own private promenade spaces . The À la Carte restaurant was also enlarged and the Café Parisien , an entirely new feature which did not exist on Olympic , was added . These changes made Titanic slightly heavier than her sister , and thus she could claim to be the largest ship afloat . The work took longer than expected due to design changes requested by Ismay and a temporary pause in work occasioned by the need to repair Olympic , which had been in a collision in September 1911 . Had Titanic been finished earlier , she might well have missed her collision with an iceberg . Construction in gantry , 1909 -- 11 Launch , 1911 ( unfinished superstructure ) Fitting - out , 1911 -- 12 Sea trials RMS Titanic leaving Belfast for her sea trials on 2 April 1912 Titanic 's sea trials began at 6 a.m. on Tuesday , 2 April 1912 , just two days after her fitting out was finished and eight days before she was due to leave Southampton on her maiden voyage . The trials were delayed for a day due to bad weather , but by Monday morning it was clear and fair . Aboard were 78 stokers , greasers and firemen , and 41 members of crew . No domestic staff appear to have been aboard . Representatives of various companies travelled on Titanic 's sea trials , Thomas Andrews and Edward Wilding of Harland and Wolff and Harold A. Sanderson of IMM . Bruce Ismay and Lord Pirrie were too ill to attend . Jack Phillips and Harold Bride served as radio operators , and performed fine - tuning of the Marconi equipment . Francis Carruthers , a surveyor from the Board of Trade , was also present to see that everything worked , and that the ship was fit to carry passengers . The sea trials consisted of a number of tests of her handling characteristics , carried out first in Belfast Lough and then in the open waters of the Irish Sea .", "20": "Over the course of about 12 hours , Titanic was driven at different speeds , her turning ability was tested and a `` crash stop '' was performed in which the engines were reversed full ahead to full astern , bringing her to a stop in 850 yd ( 777 m ) or 3 minutes and 15 seconds . The ship covered a distance of about 80 nautical miles ( 92 mi ; 150 km ) , averaging 18 knots ( 21 mph ; 33 km / h ) and reaching a maximum speed of just under 21 knots ( 24 mph ; 39 km / h ) . On returning to Belfast at about 7 p.m. , the surveyor signed an `` Agreement and Account of Voyages and Crew '' , valid for 12 months , which declared the ship seaworthy . An hour later , Titanic departed Belfast to head to Southampton , a voyage of about 570 nautical miles ( 660 mi ; 1,060 km ) . After a journey lasting about 28 hours she arrived about midnight on 4 April and was towed to the port 's Berth 44 , ready for the arrival of her passengers and the remainder of her crew . Maiden voyage Both Olympic and Titanic registered Liverpool as their home port . The offices of the White Star Line as well as Cunard were in Liverpool , and up until the introduction of the Olympic , most British ocean liners for both Cunard and White Star , such as Lusitania and Mauretania , sailed out of Liverpool followed by a port of call in Queenstown , Ireland . Since the company 's founding in 1871 , a vast majority of their operations had taken place out of Liverpool . However , in 1907 White Star established another service out of the port of Southampton on England 's south coast , which became known as White Star 's `` Express Service '' . Southampton had many advantages over Liverpool , the first being its proximity to London . In addition , Southampton , being on the south coast , allowed ships to easily cross the English Channel and make a port of call on the northern coast of France , usually at Cherbourg . This allowed British ships to pick up clientele from continental Europe before recrossing the channel and picking up passengers at Queenstown .", "21": "The Southampton - Cherbourg - New York run would become so popular that most British ocean liners began using the port after World War I. Out of respect for Liverpool , ships continued to be registered there until the early 1960s . Queen Elizabeth 2 was one of the first ships registered in Southampton when introduced into service by Cunard in 1969 . Titanic 's maiden voyage was intended to be the first of many trans - Atlantic crossings between Southampton and New York via Cherbourg and Queenstown on westbound runs , returning via Plymouth in England while eastbound . Indeed , her entire schedule of voyages through to December 1912 still exists . When the route was established , four ships were assigned to the service . In addition to Teutonic and Majestic , the RMS Oceanic and the brand new RMS Adriatic sailed the route . When the Olympic entered service in June 1911 , she replaced Teutonic , which after completing her last run on the service in late April was transferred to the Dominion Line 's Canadian service . The following August , Adriatic was transferred to White Star 's main Liverpool - New York service , and in November , Majestic was withdrawn from service impending the arrival of Titanic in the coming months , and was mothballed as a reserve ship . White Star 's initial plans for Olympic and Titanic on the Southampton run followed the same routine as their predecessors had done before them . Each would sail once every three weeks from Southampton and New York , usually leaving at noon each Wednesday from Southampton and each Saturday from New York , thus enabling the White Star Line to offer weekly sailings in each direction . Special trains were scheduled from London and Paris to convey passengers to Southampton and Cherbourg respectively . The deep - water dock at Southampton , then known as the `` White Star Dock '' , had been specially constructed to accommodate the new Olympic - class liners , and had opened in 1911 . Edward Smith , captain of Titanic , in 1911 Titanic at Southampton docks , prior to departure Display ad for Titanic 's first but never made sailing from New York on 20 April 1912 Crew Main article : Crew of the RMS Titanic Titanic had around 885 crew members on board for her maiden voyage .", "22": "Like other vessels of her time , she did not have a permanent crew , and the vast majority of crew members were casual workers who only came aboard the ship a few hours before she sailed from Southampton . The process of signing up recruits had begun on 23 March and some had been sent to Belfast , where they served as a skeleton crew during Titanic 's sea trials and passage to England at the start of April . Captain Edward John Smith , the most senior of the White Star Line 's captains , was transferred from Olympic to take command of Titanic . Henry Tingle Wilde also came across from Olympic to take the post of Chief Mate . Titanic 's previously designated Chief Mate and First Officer , William McMaster Murdoch and Charles Lightoller , were bumped down to the ranks of First and Second Officer respectively . The original Second Officer , David Blair , was dropped altogether . The Third Officer was Herbert Pitman MBE , the only deck officer who was not a member of the Royal Naval Reserve . Pitman was the second to last surviving officer . Titanic 's crew were divided into three principal departments : Deck , with 66 crew ; Engine , with 325 ; and Victualling ( pronounced vi - tal - ling ) , with 494 . The vast majority of the crew were thus not seamen , but were either engineers , firemen , or stokers , responsible for looking after the engines , or stewards and galley staff , responsible for the passengers . Of these , over 97 % were male ; just 23 of the crew were female , mainly stewardesses . The rest represented a great variety of professions -- bakers , chefs , butchers , fishmongers , dishwashers , stewards , gymnasium instructors , laundrymen , waiters , bed - makers , cleaners , and even a printer , who produced a daily newspaper for passengers called the Atlantic Daily Bulletin with the latest news received by the ship 's wireless operators . Most of the crew signed on in Southampton on 6 April ; in all , 699 of the crew came from there , and 40 % were natives of the town . A few specialist staff were self - employed or were subcontractors .", "23": "These included the five postal clerks , who worked for the Royal Mail and the United States Post Office Department , the staff of the First Class A La Carte Restaurant and the Café Parisien , the radio operators ( who were employed by Marconi ) and the eight musicians , who were employed by an agency and travelled as second - class passengers . Crew pay varied greatly , from Captain Smith 's £ 105 a month ( equivalent to £ 9,500 today ) to the £ 3 10 s ( £ 320 today ) that stewardesses earned . The lower - paid victualling staff could , however , supplement their wages substantially through tips from passengers . Passengers Main article : Passengers of the RMS Titanic John Jacob Astor IV in 1909 . He was the wealthiest person aboard Titanic . Titanic 's passengers numbered approximately 1,317 people : 324 in First Class , 284 in Second Class , and 709 in Third Class . Of these , 869 ( 66 % ) were male and 447 ( 34 % ) female . There were 107 children aboard , the largest number of which were in Third Class . The ship was considerably under capacity on her maiden voyage , as she could accommodate 2,453 passengers -- 833 First Class , 614 Second Class , and 1,006 Third Class . Usually , a high prestige vessel like Titanic could expect to be fully booked on its maiden voyage . However , a national coal strike in the UK had caused considerable disruption to shipping schedules in the spring of 1912 , causing many crossings to be cancelled . Many would - be passengers chose to postpone their travel plans until the strike was over . The strike had finished a few days before Titanic sailed ; however , that was too late to have much of an effect . Titanic was able to sail on the scheduled date only because coal was transferred from other vessels which were tied up at Southampton , such as SS City of New York and RMS Oceanic , as well as coal Olympic had brought back from a previous voyage to New York , which had been stored at the White Star Dock . Some of the most prominent people of the day booked a passage aboard Titanic , travelling in First Class .", "24": "Among them ( with those who perished marked with a dagger † ) were the American millionaire John Jacob Astor IV † and his wife Madeleine Force Astor , industrialist Benjamin Guggenheim † , painter and sculptor Francis Davis Millet † , Macy 's owner Isidor Straus † and his wife Ida † , Denver millionairess Margaret `` Molly '' Brown , Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon and his wife , couturière Lucy ( Lady Duff - Gordon ) , Lieut .

Morgan was scheduled to travel on the maiden voyage but cancelled at the last minute . Also aboard the ship were the White Star Line 's managing director J. Bruce Ismay and Titanic 's designer Thomas Andrews , who was on board to observe any problems and assess the general performance of the new ship . The exact number of people aboard is not known , as not all of those who had booked tickets made it to the ship ; about 50 people cancelled for various reasons , and not all of those who boarded stayed aboard for the entire journey . Fares varied depending on class and season . Third Class fares from London , Southampton , or Queenstown cost £ 7 5s ( equivalent to £ 700 today ) while the cheapest First Class fares cost £ 23 ( £ 2,100 today ) .", "26": "The most expensive First Class suites were to have cost up to £ 870 in high season ( £ 79,000 today ) . Collecting passengers On Wednesday 10 April 1912 Titanic 's maiden voyage began . Following the embarkation of the crew the passengers began arriving from 9 : 30 a.m. , when the London and South Western Railway 's boat train from London Waterloo station reached Southampton Terminus railway station on the quayside , alongside Titanic 's berth . In all , 923 passengers boarded Titanic at Southampton , 179 First Class , 247 Second Class and 494 Third Class . The large number of Third Class passengers meant they were the first to board , with First and Second Class passengers following up to an hour before departure . Stewards showed them to their cabins , and First Class passengers were personally greeted by Captain Smith on boarding . Third Class passengers were inspected for ailments and physical impairments that might lead to their being refused entry to the United States -- a prospect the White Star Line wished to avoid , as it would have to carry anyone who failed the examination back across the Atlantic . 922 passengers were recorded as having embarked Titanic at Southampton . Additional passengers were to be picked up at Cherbourg and Queenstown . The maiden voyage began on time , at noon . An accident was narrowly averted only a few minutes later as Titanic passed the moored liners SS City of New York of the American Line and what would have been her running mate on the service from Southampton , White Star 's Oceanic . Her huge displacement caused both of the smaller ships to be lifted by a bulge of water and then drop into a trough . New York 's mooring cables could not take the sudden strain and snapped , swinging her around stern - first towards Titanic . A nearby tugboat , Vulcan , came to the rescue by taking New York under tow , and Captain Smith ordered Titanic 's engines to be put `` full astern '' . The two ships avoided a collision by a matter of about 4 feet ( 1.2 m ) . The incident delayed Titanic 's departure for about an hour , while the drifting New York was brought under control . After making it safely through the complex tides and channels of Southampton Water and the Solent , Titanic headed out into the English Channel .", "27": "She headed for the French port of Cherbourg , a journey of 77 nautical miles ( 89 mi ; 143 km ) . The weather was windy , very fine but cold and overcast . Because Cherbourg lacked docking facilities for a ship the size of Titanic , tenders had to be used to transfer passengers from shore to ship . The White Star Line operated two at Cherbourg , the SS Traffic and the SS Nomadic . Both had been designed specifically as tenders for the Olympic - class liners and were launched shortly after Titanic . ( Nomadic is today the only White Star Line ship still afloat . ) Four hours after Titanic left Southampton , she arrived at Cherbourg and was met by the tenders. 274 additional passengers were taken aboard , 142 First Class , 30 Second Class , and 102 Third Class . Twenty - four passengers who had booked passage only cross-channel from Southampton left aboard the tenders to be conveyed to shore . The process was completed within only 90 minutes and at 8 p.m. Titanic weighed anchor and left for Queenstown with the weather continuing cold and windy . At 11 : 30 a.m. on Thursday 11 April , Titanic arrived at Cork Harbour on the south coast of Ireland . It was a partly cloudy but relatively warm day , with a brisk wind . Again , the dock facilities were not suitable for a ship of Titanic 's size , and tenders were used to bring passengers aboard . In all , 123 passengers boarded Titanic at Queenstown , 3 First Class , 7 Second Class and 113 Third Class . In addition to the 24 cross-channel passengers who had disembarked at Cherbourg , another seven passengers had booked an overnight passage from Southampton to Queenstown . Among the seven was Father Francis Browne , a Jesuit trainee , who was a keen photographer and took many photographs aboard Titanic , including the last - ever known photograph of the ship . A decidedly unofficial departure was that of a crew member , stoker John Coffey , a Queenstown native who sneaked off the ship by hiding under mail bags being transported to shore . Titanic weighed anchor for the last time at 1 : 30 p.m. and departed on her westward journey across the Atlantic .", "28": "Titanic ( right ) after the near - collision with City of New York ( left , together with Oceanic at the far left ) Titanic in Cork harbour , 11 April 1912 The route of Titanic 's maiden voyage , with the coordinates of its sinking Atlantic crossing Titanic was planned to arrive at New York Pier 59 on the morning of 17 April . After leaving Queenstown Titanic followed the Irish coast as far as Fastnet Rock , a distance of some 55 nautical miles ( 63 mi ; 102 km ) . From there she travelled 1,620 nautical miles ( 1,860 mi ; 3,000 km ) along a Great Circle route across the North Atlantic to reach a spot in the ocean known as `` the corner '' south - east of Newfoundland , where westbound steamers carried out a change of course . Titanic sailed only a few hours past the corner on a rhumb line leg of 1,023 nautical miles ( 1,177 mi ; 1,895 km ) to Nantucket Shoals Light when she made her fatal contact with an iceberg . The final leg of the journey would have been 193 nautical miles ( 222 mi ; 357 km ) to Ambrose Light and finally to New York Harbor . From 11 April to local apparent noon the next day , Titanic covered 484 nautical miles ( 557 mi ; 896 km ) ; the following day , 519 nautical miles ( 597 mi ; 961 km ) ; and by noon on the final day of her voyage , 546 nautical miles ( 628 mi ; 1,011 km ) . From then until the time of her sinking she travelled another 258 nautical miles ( 297 mi ; 478 km ) , averaging about 21 knots ( 24 mph ; 39 km / h ) . The weather cleared as she left Ireland under cloudy skies with a headwind . Temperatures remained fairly mild on Saturday 13 April , but the following day Titanic crossed a cold weather front with strong winds and waves of up to 8 feet ( 2.4 m ) . These died down as the day progressed until , by the evening of Sunday 14 April , it became clear , calm and very cold . The first three days of the voyage from Queenstown had passed without apparent incident .", "29": "A fire had begun in one of Titanic 's coal bunkers approximately 10 days prior to the ship 's departure , and continued to burn for several days into its voyage , but passengers were unaware of this situation . Fires occurred frequently on board steamships of that day due to spontaneous combustion of the coal . The fires had to be extinguished with fire hoses , by moving the coal on top to another bunker and by removing the burning coal and feeding it into the furnace . The fire was over on 14 April . There has been some speculation and discussion as to whether this fire and attempts to extinguish it may have made the ship more vulnerable to its fate . Titanic received a series of warnings from other ships of drifting ice in the area of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland . One of the ships to warn Titanic was the Atlantic Line 's Mesaba . Nevertheless , the ship continued to steam at full speed , which was standard practice at the time . Although the ship was not trying to set a speed record , timekeeping was a priority , and under prevailing maritime practices , ships were often operated at close to full speed , with ice warnings seen as advisories and reliance placed upon lookouts and the watch on the bridge . It was generally believed that ice posed little danger to large vessels . Close calls with ice were not uncommon , and even head - on collisions had not been disastrous . In 1907 SS Kronprinz Wilhelm , a German liner , had rammed an iceberg but still had been able to complete her voyage , and Captain Smith himself had declared in 1907 that he `` could not imagine any condition which would cause a ship to founder . Modern shipbuilding has gone beyond that . '' Sinking Main article : Sinking of the RMS Titanic At 11 : 40 p.m. ( ship 's time ) on 14 April , lookout Frederick Fleet spotted an iceberg immediately ahead of Titanic and alerted the bridge . First Officer William Murdoch ordered the ship to be steered around the obstacle and the engines to be stopped , but it was too late ; the starboard side of Titanic struck the iceberg , creating a series of holes below the waterline . The hull was not punctured by the iceberg , but rather dented such that the hull 's seams buckled and separated , allowing water to seep in .", "30": "Five of the ship 's watertight compartments were breached . It soon became clear that the ship was doomed , as she could not survive more than four compartments being flooded . Titanic began sinking bow - first , with water spilling from compartment to compartment as her angle in the water became steeper . Those aboard Titanic were ill - prepared for such an emergency . In accordance with accepted practices of the time , where ships were seen as largely unsinkable and lifeboats were intended to transfer passengers to nearby rescue vessels , Titanic only had enough lifeboats to carry about half of those on board ; if the ship had carried her full complement of about 3,339 passengers and crew , only about a third could have been accommodated in the lifeboats . The crew had not been trained adequately in carrying out an evacuation . The officers did not know how many they could safely put aboard the lifeboats and launched many of them barely half - full . Third - class passengers were largely left to fend for themselves , causing many of them to become trapped below decks as the ship filled with water . The `` women and children first '' protocol was generally followed when loading the lifeboats , and most of the male passengers and crew were left aboard . At 2 : 20 a.m. , two hours and 40 minutes after Titanic struck the iceberg , her rate of sinking suddenly increased as her forward deck dipped underwater , and the sea poured in through open hatches and grates . As her unsupported stern rose out of the water , exposing the propellers , the ship began to break in two between the third and fourth funnels , due to the immense forces on the keel . With the bow underwater , and air trapped in the stern , the stern remained afloat and buoyant for a few minutes longer , rising to a nearly vertical angle with hundreds of people still clinging to it , before sinking . For many years it was generally believed the ship sank in one piece ; however , when the wreck was located many years later , it was discovered that the ship had fully broken in two . All remaining passengers and crew were immersed into lethally cold water with a temperature of 28 ° F ( − 2 ° C ) .", "31": "Sudden immersion into freezing water typically causes death within minutes , either from cardiac arrest , uncontrollable breathing of water , or cold incapacitation ( not , as commonly believed , from hypothermia ) , and almost all of those in the water died of cardiac arrest or other bodily reactions to freezing water , within 15 -- 30 minutes . Only 13 of them were helped into the lifeboats , though these had room for almost 500 more people . Distress signals were sent by wireless , rockets , and lamp , but none of the ships that responded was near enough to reach Titanic before she sank . A radio operator on board the Birma , for instance , estimated that it would be 6 a.m. before the liner could arrive at the scene . Meanwhile , the SS Californian , which was the last to have been in contact before the collision , saw Titanic 's flares but failed to assist . Around 4 a.m. , RMS Carpathia arrived on the scene in response to Titanic 's earlier distress calls . About 710 people survived the disaster and were conveyed by Carpathia to New York , Titanic 's original destination , while at least 1,500 people lost their lives . Carpathia 's captain described the place as an ice field that had included 20 large bergs measuring up to 200 feet ( 61 m ) high and numerous smaller bergs , as well as ice floes and debris from Titanic ; passengers described being in the middle of a vast white plain of ice , studded with icebergs . This area is now known as Iceberg Alley . The sinking , according to J. Thayer , sketched onboard Carpathia , based on his description The iceberg thought to have been hit by Titanic , photographed on the morning of 15 April 1912 . `` Untergang der Titanic '' , as conceived by Willy Stöwer , 1912 Aftermath of sinking Arrival of Carpathia in New York London newsboy Ned Parfett with news of the disaster . RMS Carpathia took three days to reach New York after leaving the scene of the disaster . Her journey was slowed by pack ice , fog , thunderstorms and rough seas . She was , however , able to pass news to the outside world by wireless about what had happened .", "32": "The initial reports were confused , leading the American press to report erroneously on 15 April that Titanic was being towed to port by the SS Virginian . Later that day , confirmation came through that Titanic had been lost and that most of her passengers and crew had died . The news attracted crowds of people to the White Star Line 's offices in London , New York , Montreal , Southampton , Liverpool and Belfast . It hit hardest in Southampton , whose people suffered the greatest losses from the sinking . Four out of every five crew members came from this town . Carpathia docked at 9 : 30 p.m. on 18 April at New York 's Pier 54 and was greeted by some 40,000 people waiting at the quayside in heavy rain . Immediate relief in the form of clothing and transportation to shelters was provided by the Women 's Relief Committee , the Travelers Aid Society of New York , and the Council of Jewish Women , among other organisations . Many of Titanic 's surviving passengers did not linger in New York but headed onwards immediately to relatives ' homes . Some of the wealthier survivors chartered private trains to take them home , and the Pennsylvania Railroad laid on a special train free of charge to take survivors to Philadelphia . Titanic 's 214 surviving crew members were taken to the Red Star Line 's steamer SS Lapland , where they were accommodated in passenger cabins . Carpathia was hurriedly restocked with food and provisions before resuming her journey to Fiume , Austria - Hungary . Her crew were given a bonus of a month 's wages by Cunard as a reward for their actions , and some of Titanic 's passengers joined together to give them an additional bonus of nearly £ 900 ( £ 82,000 today ) , divided among the crew members . The ship 's arrival in New York led to a frenzy of press interest , with newspapers competing to be the first to report the survivors ' stories . Some reporters bribed their way aboard the pilot boat New York , which guided Carpathia into harbour , and one even managed to get onto Carpathia before she docked . Crowds gathered outside newspaper offices to see the latest reports being posted in the windows or on billboards .", "33": "It took another four days for a complete list of casualties to be compiled and released , adding to the agony of relatives waiting for news of those who had been aboard Titanic . Arrival of Titanic 's survivors at New York ( artist concept ) Cartoon demanding better safety from shipping companies , 1912 Carpathia 's captain Arthur Rostron awarded by Margaret Brown , 1912 Insurance and Aid for survivors In January 1912 , the hulls and equipment of Titanic and Olympic had been insured through Lloyd 's of London . The total coverage was £ 1,000,000 ( £ 91,000,000 today ) per ship . The policy was to be `` free from all average '' under £ 150,000 , meaning that the insurers would only pay for damage in excess of that sum . The premium , negotiated by brokers Willis Faber & Company ( now Willis Group ) , was 15 s ( 75 p ) per £ 100 , or £ 7,500 ( £ 680,000 today ) for the term of one year . Lloyd 's paid the White Star Line the full sum owed to them within 30 days . Many charities were set up to help the victims and their families , many of whom lost their sole breadwinner , or , in the case of many Third Class survivors , everything they owned . On 29 April opera stars Enrico Caruso and Mary Garden and members of the Metropolitan Opera raised $12,000 ( $300,000 in 2014 ) in benefits for victims of the disaster by giving special concerts in which versions of `` Autumn '' and `` Nearer My God To Thee '' were part of the programme . In Britain , relief funds were organised for the families of Titanic 's lost crew members , raising nearly £ 450,000 ( £ 41,000,000 today ) . One such fund was still in operation as late as the 1960s . Investigations into the disaster Main articles : United States Senate inquiry into the sinking of the RMS Titanic and British Wreck Commissioner 's inquiry into the sinking of the RMS Titanic Even before the survivors arrived in New York , investigations were being planned to discover what had happened , and what could be done to prevent a recurrence .", "34": "Inquiries were held in both the United States and United Kingdom , the former more robustly critical of traditions and practices , and scathing of the failures involved , and the latter broadly more technical and expert - oriented . The U.S. Senate 's inquiry into the disaster was initiated on 19 April , a day after Carpathia arrived in New York . The chairman , Senator William Alden Smith , wanted to gather accounts from passengers and crew while the events were still fresh in their minds . Smith also needed to subpoena all surviving British passengers and crew while they were still on American soil , which prevented them from returning to the UK before the American inquiry was completed on 25 May . The British press condemned Smith as an opportunist , insensitively forcing an inquiry as a means of gaining political prestige and seizing `` his moment to stand on the world stage '' . Smith , however , already had a reputation as a campaigner for safety on U.S. railroads , and wanted to investigate any possible malpractices by railroad tycoon J.P. Morgan , Titanic 's ultimate owner . The British Board of Trade 's inquiry into the disaster was headed by Lord Mersey , and took place between 2 May and 3 July . Being run by the Board of Trade , who had previously approved the ship , it was seen by some as having little interest in its own or White Star 's conduct being found negligent . Each inquiry took testimony from both passengers and crew of Titanic , crew members of Leyland Line 's Californian , Captain Arthur Rostron of Carpathia and other experts . The British inquiry also took far greater expert testimony , making it the longest and most detailed court of inquiry in British history up to that time . The two inquiries reached broadly similar conclusions : the regulations on the number of lifeboats that ships had to carry were out of date and inadequate , Captain Smith had failed to take proper heed of ice warnings , the lifeboats had not been properly filled or crewed , and the collision was the direct result of steaming into a dangerous area at too high a speed . Neither inquiry 's findings listed negligence by IMM or the White Star Line as a factor . The American inquiry concluded that since those involved had followed standard practice the disaster was an act of God .", "35": "The British inquiry concluded that Smith had followed long - standing practice that had not previously been shown to be unsafe , noting that British ships alone had carried 3.5 million passengers over the previous decade with the loss of just 10 lives , and concluded that Smith had done `` only that which other skilled men would have done in the same position '' . Lord Mersey did however find fault with the `` extremely high speed ( twenty - two knots ) which was maintained '' following numerous ice warnings , noting that without hindsight , `` what was a mistake in the case of the Titanic would without doubt be negligence in any similar case in the future '' . The recommendations included strong suggestions for major changes in maritime regulations to implement new safety measures , such as ensuring that more lifeboats were provided , that lifeboat drills were properly carried out and that wireless equipment on passenger ships was manned around the clock . An International Ice Patrol was set up to monitor the presence of icebergs in the North Atlantic , and maritime safety regulations were harmonised internationally through the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea ; both measures are still in force today . On 18 June 1912 , Guglielmo Marconi gave evidence to the Court of Inquiry regarding the telegraphy . Its final report recommended that all liners carry the system and that sufficient operators maintain a constant service . Role of the SS Californian The SS Californian , which had tried to warn Titanic of the danger from pack - ice One of the most controversial issues examined by the inquiries was the role played by SS Californian , which had been only a few miles from Titanic but had not picked up her distress calls or responded to her signal rockets . Californian had warned Titanic by radio of the pack ice that was the reason Californian had stopped for the night , but was rebuked by Titanic 's senior wireless operator , Jack Phillips . Testimony before the British inquiry revealed that at 10 : 10 p.m. , Californian observed the lights of a ship to the south ; it was later agreed between Captain Stanley Lord and Third Officer C.V. Groves ( who had relieved Lord of duty at 11 : 10 p.m. ) that this was a passenger liner . At 11 : 50 p.m.", "36": ", the officer had watched that ship 's lights flash out , as if she had shut down or turned sharply , and that the port light was now visible . Morse light signals to the ship , upon Lord 's order , were made between 11 : 30 p.m. and 1 : 00 a.m. , but were not acknowledged . If Titanic were as far from the Californian as Lord claimed , then he knew , or should have known , that Morse signals would not be visible . A reasonable and prudent course of action would have been to awaken the wireless operator and to instruct him to attempt to contact Titanic by that method . Had Lord done so , it is possible he could have reached Titanic in time to save additional lives . Captain Lord had gone to the chartroom at 11 : 00 p.m. to spend the night ; however , Second Officer Herbert Stone , now on duty , notified Lord at 1 : 10 a.m. that the ship had fired five rockets . Lord wanted to know if they were company signals , that is , coloured flares used for identification . Stone said that he did not know and that the rockets were all white . Captain Lord instructed the crew to continue to signal the other vessel with the Morse lamp , and went back to sleep . Three more rockets were observed at 1 : 50 a.m. and Stone noted that the ship looked strange in the water , as if she were listing . At 2 : 15 a.m. , Lord was notified that the ship could no longer be seen . Lord asked again if the lights had had any colours in them , and he was informed that they were all white . Californian eventually responded . At around 5 : 30 a.m. , Chief Officer George Stewart awakened wireless operator Cyril Furmstone Evans , informed him that rockets had been seen during the night , and asked that he try to communicate with any ship . He got news of Titanic 's loss , Captain Lord was notified , and the ship set out to render assistance . She arrived well after Carpathia had already picked up all the survivors . The inquiries found that the ship seen by Californian was in fact Titanic and that it would have been possible for Californian to come to her rescue ; therefore , Captain Lord had acted improperly in failing to do so .", "37": "Survivors and victims Main article : List of Titanic passengers The number of casualties of the sinking is unclear , due to a number of factors . These include confusion over the passenger list , which included some names of people who cancelled their trip at the last minute , and the fact that several passengers travelled under aliases for various reasons and were therefore double - counted on the casualty lists . The death toll has been put at between 1,490 and 1,635 people . The tables below use figures from the British Board of Trade report on the disaster . While the use of Marconi wireless system did not achieve the result of bringing a rescue ship to the Titanic before it sank , the use of wireless did bring the Carpathia in time to rescue some of the survivors who otherwise would have perished due to exposure . The water temperature in the area where Titanic sank , which was well below normal , also contributed to the rapid death of many passengers during the sinking . Water temperature readings taken around the time of the accident were reported to be 28 ° F ( − 2 ° C ) . Typical water temperatures were normally in the mid-40 ° F range during mid-April . The coldness of the water was a critical factor , often causing death within minutes for many of those in the water . Fewer than a third of those aboard Titanic survived the disaster . Some survivors died shortly afterwards ; injuries and the effects of exposure caused the deaths of several of those brought aboard Carpathia . The figures show stark differences in the survival rates of the different classes aboard Titanic . Although only 3 % of first - class women were lost , 54 % of those in third class died . Similarly , five of six first - class and all second - class children survived , but 52 of the 79 in third class perished . The differences by gender were even bigger : nearly all female crew members , first and second class passengers were saved . Men from the First Class died at a higher rate than women from the Third Class . In total , 50 % of the children survived , 20 % of the men and 75 % of the women . The last living survivor , Millvina Dean from England , who at only nine weeks old was the youngest passenger on board , died aged 97 on 31 May 2009 .", "38": "A special survivor was crew member Violet Jessop who survived the sinkings of both Titanic and Britannic and was aboard Olympic when she was rammed in 1911 .

Three other Canadian ships followed in the search : the cable ship Minia , lighthouse supply ship Montmagny and sealing vessel Algerine . Each ship left with embalming supplies , undertakers , and clergy . Of the 333 victims that were eventually recovered , 328 were retrieved by the Canadian ships and five more by passing North Atlantic steamships . The first ship to reach the site of the sinking , the CS Mackay - Bennett , found so many bodies that the embalming supplies aboard were quickly exhausted . Health regulations required that only embalmed bodies could be returned to port .", "39": "Captain Larnder of the Mackay - Bennett and undertakers aboard decided to preserve only the bodies of first class passengers , justifying their decision by the need to visually identify wealthy men to resolve any disputes over large estates . As a result , many third class passengers and crew were buried at sea . Larnder identified many of those buried at sea as crew members by their clothing , and stated that as a mariner , he himself would be contented to be buried at sea . Bodies recovered were preserved for transport to Halifax , the closest city to the sinking with direct rail and steamship connections . The Halifax coroner , John Henry Barnstead , developed a detailed system to identify bodies and safeguard personal possessions . Relatives from across North America came to identify and claim bodies . A large temporary morgue was set up in the curling rink of the Mayflower Curling Club and undertakers were called in from all across eastern Canada to assist . Some bodies were shipped to be buried in their home towns across North America and Europe . About two - thirds of the bodies were identified . Unidentified victims were buried with simple numbers based on the order in which their bodies were discovered . The majority of recovered victims , 150 bodies , were buried in three Halifax cemeteries , the largest being Fairview Lawn Cemetery followed by the nearby Mount Olivet and Baron de Hirsch cemeteries . In mid-May 1912 , RMS Oceanic recovered three bodies over 200 miles ( 320 km ) from the site of the sinking who were among the original occupants of Collapsible A. When Fifth Officer Harold Lowe and six crewmen returned to the wreck site sometime after the sinking in a lifeboat to pick up survivors , they rescued a dozen males and one female from Collapsible A , but left the dead bodies of three of its occupants . After their retrieval from Collapsible A by Oceanic , the bodies were buried at sea . The last Titanic body recovered was steward James McGrady , Body No. 330 , found by the chartered Newfoundland sealing vessel Algerine on 22 May and buried at Fairview Lawn Cemetery in Halifax on 12 June . Only 333 bodies of Titanic victims were recovered , one in five of the over 1,500 victims . Some bodies sank with the ship while currents quickly dispersed bodies and wreckage across hundreds of miles making them difficult to recover .", "40": "By June , one of the last search ships reported that life jackets supporting bodies were coming apart and releasing bodies to sink . Wreck Main article : Wreck of the RMS Titanic The bow of the wrecked RMS Titanic , photographed in June 2004 Titanic was long thought to have sunk in one piece and , over the years , many schemes were put forward for raising the wreck . None came to fruition . The fundamental problem was the sheer difficulty of finding and reaching a wreck that lies over 12,000 feet ( 3,700 m ) below the surface , in a location where the water pressure is over 6,500 pounds per square inch ( 450 bar ) . A number of expeditions were mounted to find Titanic but it was not until 1 September 1985 that a Franco - American expedition led by Robert Ballard succeeded . The team discovered that Titanic had in fact split apart , probably near or at the surface , before sinking to the seabed . The separated bow and stern sections lie about a third of a mile ( 0.6 km ) apart in Titanic Canyon off the coast of Newfoundland . They are located 13.2 miles ( 21.2 km ) from the inaccurate coordinates given by Titanic 's radio operators on the night of her sinking , and approximately 715 miles ( 1,151 km ) from Halifax and 1,250 miles ( 2,012 km ) from New York . Both sections struck the sea bed at considerable speed , causing the bow to crumple and the stern to collapse entirely . The bow is by far the more intact section and still contains some surprisingly intact interiors . In contrast , the stern is completely wrecked ; its decks have pancaked down on top of each other and much of the hull plating was torn off and lies scattered across the sea floor . The much greater level of damage to the stern is probably due to structural damage incurred during the sinking . Thus weakened , the remainder of the stern was flattened by the impact with the sea bed . The two sections are surrounded by a debris field measuring approximately 5 by 3 miles ( 8.0 km × 4.8 km ) . It contains hundreds of thousands of items , such as pieces of the ship , furniture , dinnerware and personal items , which fell from the ship as she sank or were ejected when the bow and stern impacted on the sea floor .", "41": "The debris field was also the last resting place of a number of Titanic 's victims . Most of the bodies and clothes were consumed by sea creatures and bacteria , leaving pairs of shoes and boots -- which have proved to be inedible -- as the only sign that bodies once lay there . Since its initial discovery , the wreck of Titanic has been revisited on numerous occasions by explorers , scientists , filmmakers , tourists and salvagers , who have recovered thousands of items from the debris field for conservation and public display . The ship 's condition has deteriorated significantly over the years , particularly from accidental damage by submersibles but mostly because of an accelerating rate of growth of iron - eating bacteria on the hull . In 2006 , it was estimated that within 50 years the hull and structure of Titanic would eventually collapse entirely , leaving only the more durable interior fittings of the ship intermingled with a pile of rust on the sea floor . Bell from the Titanic Many artefacts from Titanic have been recovered from the sea bed by RMS Titanic Inc. , which exhibits them in touring exhibitions around the world and in a permanent exhibition at the Luxor Las Vegas hotel and casino in Las Vegas , Nevada . A number of other museums exhibit artefacts either donated by survivors or retrieved from the floating bodies of victims of the disaster . On 16 April 2012 , the day after the 100th anniversary of the sinking , photos were released showing possible human remains resting on the ocean floor . The photos , taken by Robert Ballard during an expedition led by NOAA in 2004 , show a boot and a coat close to Titanic 's stern which experts called `` compelling evidence '' that it is the spot where somebody came to rest , and that human remains could be buried in the sediment beneath them . The wreck of the Titanic falls under the scope of the 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage . This means that all states party to the convention will prohibit the pillaging , commercial exploitation , sale and dispersion of the wreck and its artefacts . Because of the location of the wreck in international waters and the lack of any exclusive jurisdiction over the wreckage area , the convention provides a state co-operation system , by which states inform each other of any potential activity concerning ancient shipwreck sites , like the Titanic , and co-operate to prevent unscientific or unethical interventions .", "42": "Legacy Safety Main article : Changes in safety practices after the sinking of the RMS Titanic An ice patrol aircraft inspecting an iceberg After the disaster , recommendations were made by both the British and American Boards of Inquiry stating that ships should carry enough lifeboats for all aboard , mandated lifeboat drills would be implemented , lifeboat inspections would be conducted , etc . Many of these recommendations were incorporated into the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea passed in 1914 . The convention has been updated by periodic amendments , with a completely new version adopted in 1974 . Signatories to the convention followed up with national legislation to implement the new standards . For example in Britain , new `` Rules for Life Saving Appliances '' were passed by the Board of Trade on 8 May 1914 and then applied at a meeting of British steamship companies in Liverpool in June 1914 . Further , the United States government passed the Radio Act of 1912 . This act , along with the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea , stated that radio communications on passenger ships would be operated 24 hours a day , along with a secondary power supply , so as not to miss distress calls . Also , the Radio Act of 1912 required ships to maintain contact with vessels in their vicinity as well as coastal onshore radio stations . In addition , it was agreed in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea that the firing of red rockets from a ship must be interpreted as a sign of need for help . Once the Radio Act of 1912 was passed it was agreed that rockets at sea would be interpreted as distress signals only , thus removing any possible misinterpretation from other ships . Finally , the disaster led to the formation and international funding of the International Ice Patrol , an agency of the United States Coast Guard that to the present day monitors and reports on the location of North Atlantic Ocean icebergs that could pose a threat to transatlantic sea traffic . Coast Guard aircraft conduct the primary reconnaissance . In addition , information is collected from ships operating in or passing through the ice area . Except for the years of the two World Wars , the International Ice Patrol has worked each season since 1913 . During the period there has not been a single reported loss of life or property due to collision with an iceberg in the patrol area .", "43": "In 1912 , the Board of Trade chartered the barque Scotia to act as a weather ship in the Grand Banks of Newfoundland , keeping a look - out for icebergs . A Marconi wireless was installed to enable her to communicate with stations on the coast of Labrador and Newfoundland . Cultural Main article : Cultural legacy of RMS Titanic Titanic Belfast , 2012 Titanic has gone down in history as the ship that was called unsinkable . For more than 100 years , she has been the inspiration of fiction and non-fiction . She is commemorated by monuments for the dead and by museums exhibiting artefacts from the wreck . Just after the sinking memorial postcards sold in huge numbers together with memorabilia ranging from tin candy boxes to plates , whiskey jiggers , and even black mourning teddy bears . Several survivors wrote books about their experiences but it was not until 1955 the first historically accurate book A Night to Remember was published . The first film about the disaster , Saved from the Titanic , was released only 29 days after the ship sank and had an actual survivor as its star -- the silent film actress Dorothy Gibson . The British film A Night to Remember ( 1958 ) is still widely regarded as the most historically accurate movie portrayal of the sinking . The most financially successful by far has been James Cameron 's Titanic ( 1997 ) , which became the highest - grossing film in history up to that time , as well as the winner of 11 Oscars at the 70th Academy Awards , including Best Picture and Best Director for Cameron . The Titanic disaster was commemorated through a variety of memorials and monuments to the victims , erected in several English - speaking countries and in particular in cities that had suffered notable losses . These included Southampton , Liverpool and Belfast in the United Kingdom ; New York and Washington , D.C. in the United States ; and Cobh ( formerly Queenstown ) in Ireland . A number of museums around the world have displays on Titanic , the most prominent is in Belfast , the ship 's birthplace ( see next section ) . RMS Titanic Inc. , which is authorised to salvage the wreck site , has a permanent Titanic exhibition at the Luxor Las Vegas hotel and casino in Nevada which features a 22 - ton slab of the ship 's hull . It also runs an exhibition which travels around the world .", "44": "In Nova Scotia , Halifax 's Maritime Museum of the Atlantic displays items that were recovered from the sea a few days after the disaster . They include pieces of woodwork such as panelling from the ship 's First Class Lounge and an original deckchair , as well as objects removed from the victims . In 2012 the centenary was marked by plays , radio programmes , parades , exhibitions and special trips to the site of the sinking together with commemorative stamps and coins . In a frequently commented - on literary coincidence , Morgan Robertson authored a novel called Futility in 1898 about a fictional British passenger liner with the plot bearing a number of similarities to the Titanic disaster . In the novel the ship is the SS Titan , a four - stacked liner , the largest in the world and considered unsinkable . But like the Titanic , she sinks after hitting an iceberg and does not have enough lifeboats . Significance in Northern Ireland Only recently has the significance of Titanic most notably been given by Northern Ireland where it was built by Harland and Wolff in the capital city , Belfast . While the rest of the world embraced the glory and tragedy of Titanic , in its birth city , Titanic remained a taboo subject throughout the 20th century . The sinking brought tremendous grief and was a blow to the city 's pride . But its shipyard was also a place many Catholics regarded as hostile . In the latter half of the century , during a 30 - year sectarian conflict Titanic was a reminder of the lack of civil rights that in part contributed towards The Troubles . While the fate of Titanic remained a well - known story within local households throughout the 20th century , commercial investment around Titanic 's legacy was modest because of these issues . After The Troubles in 1998 , the number of overseas tourists visiting Northern Ireland dramatically increased to 30 million ( 100 % rise by 2008 ) . It was subsequently identified in the ' Northern Ireland Tourism Board 's Strategic Framework for Action 2004 -- 2007 ' that the significance of and interest in Titanic globally ( partly due to the 1997 film ' Titanic ' ) was not being fully exploited as a tourist attraction . Thus , Titanic Belfast ® was spearheaded , along with some smaller projects , such as a Titanic memorial .", "45": "In 2012 on the ship 's centenary , Titanic Belfast visitor attraction was opened on the site of the shipyard where Titanic was built . It was Northern Ireland 's second most visited tourist attraction with almost 700,000 visitors in 2016 . Despite over 1,600 ships being built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast Harbour , Queen 's Island became renamed after its most famous ship ; Titanic Quarter in 1995 . In 2005 Titanic Quarter Ltd launched one of the world 's largest urban - waterfront regeneration projects . Today Titanic Quarter is Northern Ireland 's most esteemed site ; a major hub of world - class education , employment , entertainment and tourist facilities . Once a sensitive story , Titanic is now considered one of Northern Ireland 's most iconic and uniting symbols .

Titanic replicas See also : Replica Titanic , Titanic II , and Romandisea Titanic First Class Lounge of the Olympic which was almost identical to that of the Titanic , seen today as a dining room in the White Swan Hotel , Alnwick There have been several proposals and studies for a project to build a replica ship based on the Titanic . A project by South African businessman Sarel Gaus was abandoned in 2006 , and a project by Australian businessman Clive Palmer was announced in 2012 , known as the Titanic II . A Chinese shipbuilding company known as Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry Group Co. , Ltd commenced construction in January 2014 to build a replica ship of the Titanic for use in a resort . The vessel will house many features of the original , such as a ballroom , dining hall , theatre , first - class cabins , economy cabins and swimming pool . Tourists will be able to reside inside the Titanic during their time at the resort . It will be permanently docked at the resort and feature an audiovisual simulation of the sinking , which has caused some criticism . The RMS Olympic was the sister ship of the Titanic . The interior decoration of the dining salon and the grand staircase were in identical style and created by the same craftsmen . Large parts of the interior of the Olympic were later sold and are now in the White Swan Hotel , Alnwick , which gives an impression of how the interior of the Titanic looked .", "47": "See also Disaster portal Nautical portal United Kingdom portal International Maritime Organization Lists of shipwrecks RMS Titanic alternative theories , alternative explanations for the fate of the Titanic ( rather than it hitting an iceberg ) The Wreck of the Titan : Or , Futility Notes Jump up ^ Carlisle would leave the project in 1910 , before the ships were launched , when he became a shareholder in Welin Davit & Engineering Company Ltd , the firm making the ship 's davits .

Jump up ^ He expressed deep disappointment about the decision before the voyage , but was presumably greatly relieved afterwards . Jump up ^ Titanic also had a ship 's cat , Jenny , who gave birth to a litter of kittens shortly before the ship 's maiden voyage ; all perished in the sinking . Jump up ^ Known afterward as the `` Unsinkable Molly Brown '' due to her efforts in helping other passengers while the ship sank Jump up ^ Captain Edward Smith had been in command of Titanic 's sister Olympic when she in 1911 collided with a warship . Even though that ship was designed to sink others by ramming them , it suffered greater damage than Olympic , thereby strengthening the image of the class being unsinkable . Jump up ^ The official enquiry found that damage extended about 300 feet , but both Edward Wilding 's testimony and modern ultrasound surveys of the wreck suggest the total area was perhaps a few narrow openings totalling perhaps no more than 12 to 13 square feet ( 1.1 to 1.2 m ) . Jump up ^ An incident confirmed this philosophy while Titanic was under construction : the White Star liner Republic was involved in a collision and sank . Even though she did not have enough lifeboats for all passengers , they were all saved because the ship was able to stay afloat long enough for them to be ferried to ships coming to assist . Jump up ^ Life expectancy in such temperatures is often under 15 minutes even for people who are young and fit . The victims would have died from bodily reactions to freezing water rather than hypothermia ( loss of core temperature ) .", "49": "Immersed into freezing seas , around 20 % of victims die within two minutes from cold shock ( uncontrolled rapid breathing and gasping causing water inhalation , massive increase in blood pressure , cardiac strain leading to cardiac arrest , and panic ) , another 50 % die within 15 -- 30 minutes from cold incapacitation ( inability to use or control limbs and hands for swimming or gripping , as the body ' protectively ' shuts down peripheral muscles to protect its core ) , and exhaustion and unconsciousness cause drowning , claiming the rest within a similar time .

He was the youngest of two children . His brother , Everett Thomas ( Tommy ) Conaway , Jr. ( 1944 - 1956 ) , died of Cystic Fibrosis at 12 years of age . In his early childhood , Jesse was familiarly known as `` Freddy '' before legally dropping the James Conaway from his name in his later teens . This was done in an attempt to distinguish himself from the legacy of his father , Everett T. `` Conny '' Conaway , Sr. ( 1915 - 2010 ) . Conny was a prominent figure in the poultry processing industry . During his unprecedented 70 - year career , the senior Conaway designed and built some of the earliest processing plants for Allen Family Foods , Frank Perdue and Preston Townsend , all of which are still operating today . In early adolescence , Frederick attended Massanutten Military Academy for two years . Once he entered high school , his father put him to work , hoping to groom a protege in the industry . Frederick learned about the processing of poultry first hand as a plant laborer at many of his father 's factories on the East Coast .", "1": "In high school , Frederick was a bright , multi-talented , popular student ; he starred in many school plays and although his primary musical instrument was classical trumpet , he demonstrated from his youth a talent for mastery of a variety of musical instruments . He graduated Seaford High School in 1966 , before attending Shenandoah College and Conservatory Of Music . Under his father 's tutelage , he studied mechanical drafting , and eventually worked as his apprentice in plant overhead conveyor layout designs . All the while , the young musician continued writing and composing his own work , while pursuing aspirations to make it in the music industry . Music career beginnings ( edit ) Bearsville Records and early eps ( edit ) Although he released some early single records in the Philadelphia area in his late teens , and recorded demos for Columbia Records while in college , it was in 1971 , at the age of 23 , Jesse was signed to Albert Grossman 's Bearsville Records . His self - titled debut album , recorded in Nashville and mixed in part by Todd Rundgren , was released in that year . Although the album gained Frederick a lot of respect from his peers , its sales success was limited . In 1973 , Bearsville released a promo 45 featuring both stereo and mono versions of the first single from Frederick 's second album , After the Rain , which would never be released . The single was entitled `` I Belong to You '' . As the 1970s progressed , Frederick would sign with another label , spawning a third album in the process ; as in the last project at Bearsville , it never saw the light of day . In a partnership with producer Jeff Koz ( who had worked with Frederick on some film and video projects ) , Frederick formed the band The Kinetics and released the single , `` Do n't Stand In The Shadow '' , for Columbia Records . Film composing ( edit ) By the late 1970s , Frederick had changed his beat to movie and TV score composing . He performed vocals for the character `` Tommy Dee '' ( played by Paul Land ) in the 1980 Taylor Hackford film The Idolmaker . A single from the picture 's soundtrack , `` Here Is My Love '' , was released in both stereo and mono formats . That same year , Frederick played Alice Cooper 's roadie in the film Roadie .", "2": "In 1982 , Frederick composed the score for the Troma Entertainment motion picture The Fanatic ( aka The Last Horror Film ) . Many more major theatrical titles would follow , including that of Garry Marshall 's 1984 hit The Flamingo Kid . Foray into TV : Bennett Salvay and Miller / Boyett ( edit ) In the mid-1980s , as a result of his movie scoring work , Frederick began a partnership writer / composer ( Paul ) Bennett Salvay . The two musicians had both come off Garry Marshall - produced projects at the time they began working together . Frederick had just completed his scoring for The Flamingo Kid , while Salvay had been music director in the later seasons of the hit series Happy Days , Laverne & Shirley and Mork & Mindy , for Garry Marshall 's Henderson Productions , Miller - Milkis - Boyett Productions and Paramount Television . The pair found they had a dynamic spark of creativity between them , and sought out work on original compositions that would be pitched to TV and movie projects . As Frederick worked on new musical material with him , Salvay would eventually lead them to new opportunities with his TV employers . When producers Thomas L. Miller and Robert L. Boyett left Paramount for Lorimar Productions in 1984 , they retained many of their former Paramount staffers , including Salvay and ( initially ) music composer Charles Fox . Miller and Boyett quickly set out to develop new projects at Lorimar ( minus their former Paramount partner , Edward K. Milkis ) , and in the process of keeping Salvay on their soundtrack staff , noticed his work with Frederick and commissioned the both of them to be songwriters for their projects , working separately from Fox . In 1985 , Miller and Boyett assigned the pair to their new comedy project for ABC , which was titled The Greenhorn in its early stages . Although it was too early to predict at the time , Frederick and Salvay had just embarked on what would be a long - running alliance with Miller - Boyett Productions . Perfect Strangers ( edit ) When ABC slated the new Miller / Boyett project to premiere on Tuesdays in March 1986 , following some cast changes , it went into official production under the new title , Perfect Strangers .", "3": "Frederick and Salvay penned their first TV title track , `` Nothing 's Gonna Stop Me Now '' , for the series , which obliquely told the ballad of the show 's two leads -- Balki Bartokomous ( Bronson Pinchot ) and Larry Appleton ( Mark Linn - Baker ) -- as the former had dreams of making it in America from the island of Mypos , while the latter had aspirations to make it in Chicago , after moving from Wisconsin . Perfect Strangers went on to become a hit , running eight seasons on ABC , and made Frederick and Salvay 's songwriting weekly staples in millions of households across the country . While the lyrics were written by Frederick and Salvay , `` Nothing 's Gonna Stop Me Now '' was sung by David Pomeranz . Valerie / Valerie 's Family ( edit ) Beginning in the 1986 - 87 season , Frederick and Salvay were asked to score selected episodes of NBC 's Miller / Boyett - produced sitcom Valerie , which had premiered in March 1986 , three weeks before the debut of Perfect Strangers on ABC . Charles Fox handled composing on Valerie for the show 's first two seasons ( in fact , it was the only Miller / Boyett series from the Lorimar era to use Fox ) , with Bruce Miller taking over regular scoring from seasons three through six . Frederick and Salvay scored three episodes : one which aired in November 1986 , another in April 1987 ( which they co-scored with Steven Chesne ) and a third in the spring of 1988 , after the series had been retitled Valerie 's Family . Full House ( edit ) In 1987 , Frederick and Salvay wrote their second title track for Miller - Boyett , `` Everywhere You Look '' , for the new ABC fall sitcom Full House . This theme had a more love - of - the - family - centric subject in its lyrics , but was in line with their work on other Miller / Boyett shows due to its catchiness and upbeat nature . Full House initially struggled in the ratings , but when ABC scheduled it on Tuesdays in addition to its regular Friday slot for a time in 1988 , it began a gradual increase in audience size . The series became popular in its second season .", "4": "It then served as the anchor of ABC 's new TGIF lineup in 1989 , where Frederick and Salvay 's work were about to be heavily showcased . Full House cracked the Nielsen top 30 in its third season and the top 20 in its fourth . Well before it reached its peak in seasons five to seven ( where it shot to the top 5 ) , `` Everywhere You Look '' , in its various edits , had become a highly referenced and celebrated song among young viewers . The hook that most heavily caught fans ' delight was the opening line , which pondered , `` Whatever happened to predictability ? The milkman , the paperboy , evening TV ? '' By this point , it was recognized that the strength in Frederick and his partner 's work was found in their knack for lyric - heavy , uplifting compositions . There was a common theme between most : that of realizing one 's dreams , and making a success out of one 's life . It was these ingredients that touched a generation of young viewers especially . Frederick and Salvay 's underscores for Full House , which were more sentimental and instrument - heavy than on earlier hit Perfect Strangers , became the signature sound the two are also most recognized for . There is much speculation that Frederick inspired the creation of one of the series ' main characters . When Full House was in early development in 1986 ( under the working title House of Comics ) , the role eventually given to star John Stamos was that of Adam Cochran , one of three comedians sharing a house in San Francisco . Once the format was revised and the original pilot set to shoot , Stamos ' character became Jesse Cochran ( later renamed Jesse Katsopolis as a nod to Stamos 's Greek ethnicity ) , the super-cool rock musician brother - in - law of Danny Tanner ( played in the unaired pilot by John Posey , before Bob Saget became available for the role ) . Fitting in with the character 's new image , it is believed that naming him `` Jesse '' and turning him into a rocker was inspired by the real - life persona of Frederick . However , series creator Jeff Franklin has stated that when the character was being renamed , he was reminded of Elvis Presley 's twin brother Jesse , who had died at a young age .", "5": "In 2015 , `` Everywhere You Look '' was re-recorded with Carly Rae Jepsen on vocals for Full House 's Netflix sequel series , Fuller House . Family Matters ( edit ) Joining ABC 's established Miller / Boyett shows on the newly developed TGIF in September 1989 was Family Matters , a spin - off from Perfect Strangers . Frederick and Salvay scored the scenes and the closing theme alone during the series ' first few episodes . During the first five ABC broadcasts , the title track was a shortened version of Louis Armstrong 's `` What A Wonderful World '' . The closing theme that Frederick and Salvay wrote and recorded was a melody loosely based on `` What A Wonderful World '' , featuring a more uptempo beat dominated by saxophone and culminating in an orchestral crescendo . By the sixth episode of Family Matters , Miller and Boyett , along with show creators William Bickley and Michael Warren , decided that they wanted a more sitcom-esque opening theme for the show . Frederick and Salvay wrote an original title track featuring a jazzy , ragtime piano prologue leading into an upbeat melody , again using high orchestration . Titled `` As Days Go By '' , it was sung by Frederick with a back - up chorus of male singers . Family Matters was only a moderate success until Jaleel White 's Steve Urkel was added in early 1990 , becoming the show 's breakout character . `` As Days Go By '' remained as the Family Matters theme in various forms until the beginning of the show 's seventh season . It was n't until the start of the series ' fifth season in 1993 that Frederick and Salvay composed a closing version of `` As Days Go By '' ; it was a hip - hop sounding rendition with a saxophone domination . The melody was slightly altered so that it did n't closely match the notes of the opening version . 1990s success ( edit ) In 1990 , the works of Frederick and Salvay received dramatically increased air time in the US . Perfect Strangers went into rerun syndication that fall . As a result , their music was being played on a five - days - a-week basis .", "6": "Further , Miller / Boyett had just acquired a complete programming stake in ABC 's hit TGIF lineup , having four of their comedies air back - to - back . Full House , Family Matters and Perfect Strangers were joined by freshman series Going Places . Frederick and Salvay composed all music for Going Places , but for the first time since Perfect Strangers , had another singer , Mark Lennon , perform the theme . Over at CBS , Miller / Boyett 's other new series The Family Man was airing on Saturday nights alongside the producers ' NBC series The Hogan Family ( the former Valerie and Valerie 's Family ) , which had switched networks . The Hogan Family was the only Miller / Boyett series from the Lorimar era to have not utilized Frederick and Salvay for most of its run , aside from the selected episodes they scored in 1986 - 88 . The two worked on The Family Man , which boasted a first for both the musical team and Miller / Boyett ; it was the first series in the group to have an instrumental opening theme . Programs that ensued for the duo included Step By Step in 1991 . The latter 's title track , `` Second Time Around '' , was sung by Frederick in a duet with Teresa James . It illustrated the story of the show 's newly married couple , Frank Lambert ( Patrick Duffy ) and Carol Foster ( Suzanne Somers ) , as they had visions of mixing their households of kids together . Step By Step was another TGIF hit , running six seasons on ABC and its seventh and final on CBS . From 1992 to 1994 , Frederick and Salvay 's newest project with Miller / Boyett was at first titled A New Day in its earliest development . Following a revamp in its creation ( by Bickley / Warren ) , it premiered on TGIF in March 1993 as Getting By . The series had two different theme songs during each of its two seasons , the second of which aired on NBC . The first theme that Frederick and Salvay wrote was sentimental in nature with woodwind instrumentation , and sung by Mark Lennon . The second theme had the funk / hip - hop sound that had started to be heard on sister shows such as Family Matters , and had a different male vocalist . In 1994 , the two worked on Miller / Boyett 's single - season comedy On Our Own .", "7": "It starred Ralph Louis Harris and the six Smollett siblings as a family learning to fend for themselves after the death of their parents . The series ' theme , one in a long line of feel - good , inspirational tunes from Frederick and Salvay , was performed by Joe Turano . In the later years of their run with Miller / Boyett , Frederick and Salvay would alternate score composing duties with other resident talents such as Steven Chesne and Gary Boren . On some series , such as Perfect Strangers in its last few seasons , the two were replaced entirely ( in this case , by Boren ) . After the conclusion of Full House and cancelation of On Our Own , both in 1995 , Frederick and Salvay continued work on most remaining Miller / Boyett shows . However , there would be no new projects from the producers until 1997 , when Miller and Boyett developed the new CBS comedy Meego , Bronson Pinchot 's third series with the production company ( earlier in 1997 , Pinchot had been a series regular on Step By Step ) . Meego , which aired on the network 's new `` Block Party '' lineup ( a TGIF clone ) , was a departure from the usual production and musical styles of both Miller / Boyett and Frederick and Salvay . The sentimental , upbeat rock - flavored scores from earlier shows were substituted by pieces with strictly orchestral sounds , which seem most fitting for a show about an alien who crashed - landed on Earth , and who was now living with an American family ( headed by Ed Begley , Jr . ) in the series . After only a month on the air , Meego was canceled due to disappointing ratings . Frederick and Salvay continued working for their longtime employers , even as their parent production companies went through further changes in the late 1990s . In 1997 , Michael Warren began the transition of splitting away professionally from William Bickley . The former teamed up with Miller and Boyett , forming Miller - Boyett - Warren Productions , initially to produce Meego . Bickley - Warren Productions remained active for one more season ( 1997 -- 98 ) to produce the final season of Family Matters and Step By Step , which both were cancelled by CBS ( the network both series had moved to that season ) in 1998 .", "8": "Miller - Boyett - Warren had a new project for ABC in the works for that fall , which would end up being the final TV series project for Frederick and Salvay , as well as for the producers . That September , Two of a Kind , starring Mary - Kate and Ashley Olsen , premiered . Frederick and Salvay wrote their shortest opening title track to date for this series ; however , Two of a Kind 's instrumental theme was a return to the acoustic guitar - dominated , upbeat tunes that that two were known for , especially on the Olsens ' former series , Full House . Two of a Kind , despite favorable reviews , folded in the spring of 1999 after one season . Return to television scoring ( edit ) In 2015 , Full House creator Jeff Franklin , along with Miller and Boyett , were all underway in launching the long - rumored revival series to Full House , entitled Fuller House . It marked the first time since the late 1990s that Jeff Franklin Productions and Miller - Boyett Productions were active in TV series producing , and ultimately , that Frederick and Salvay were working on music compositions for episodic television . As Fuller House moved into production , the producers were successful in courting Frederick and Salvay back to compose the score and theme music for the show ; the pair oversaw all music arrangement for the entire 13 - episode first season , which premiered on Netflix on February 26 , 2016 . While Frederick and Salvay worked on the incidental scene change music together , they formed a partnership with singer Carly Rae Jepsen and songwriter / producer Butch Walker to remix `` Everywhere You Look '' in new vocal and instrumental forms , those of which would serve as the opening and closing themes to Fuller House . Jepsen performed the opening vocals to `` Everywhere You Look '' , and the official commercial release of the song features never - before released verses that Frederick , Salvay and Jeff Franklin wrote for the track back in 1987 , but of which were never included in broadcasts of Full House . Work with other TV producers ( edit ) During his years co-writing with Bennett Salvay , Frederick occasionally received work with other TV producers . In 1986 , he and Salvay wrote the theme song to the short - lived CBS sitcom Better Days , a Lorimar series from producers Jeff Freilich , Stuart Sheslow and Arthur Silver .", "9": "The Better Days title track has the distinction of being the first TV theme written by the two that Frederick performed vocals on ( predating his performance of `` Everywhere You Look '' on Full House ) . Later , they wrote a more saccharine - tinged theme for the just - as - short - lived spring 1988 ABC comedy Family Man ( no relation to the similarly titled Miller - Boyett series of two years later ) , which Frederick also performed . Also in 1988 , due to their primary employment on sitcoms produced by Lorimar , Frederick and Salvay scored selected episodes of CBS ' Falcon Crest , a dramatic Lorimar production . In 1992 , Frederick and Salvay were asked by Full House creator Jeff Franklin to handle scoring duties , with Gary Boren , on his new ABC sitcom Hangin ' With Mr. Cooper . The series was produced by Franklin and Lorimar Television ( later Warner Bros. Television from seasons two through five ) , but not by Miller - Boyett Productions during any point in its run . Frederick and Salvay handled scene scoring during the first season only . Over a year after their departure , Bickley - Warren Productions became a co-producer of Cooper .

Scott has sometimes been a disappointment to Lee over the years but these days , Lee could n't be more proud of Scott and the way he turned his life around .", "1": "In 1964 , as the painful memories of her past marriage to notorious Phil Brewer subsided , Jessie Brewer began to go out on tentative dates with her lawyer , Lee Baldwin . A lifelong bachelor and recovering alcoholic , Lee was a fixture on the seventh floor of General Hospital where he volunteered as an addiction counselor . When Jessie discovered she was pregnant by Phil after Phil left town , Lee offered to marry Jessie in order to give her baby a name . Once Jessie 's divorce from Phil was finalized , she would become Mrs. Lee Baldwin . But Phil found out about Jessie 's pregnancy before they could wed and returned to Port Charles . Phil plead for one month 's time to make it up to Jessie , but Jessie was afraid that if she left Lee , he 'd be devastated and return to drinking . Jessie went forth with her plans to marry Lee , but on the eve of their wedding , Jessie went into labor ! Phil was thrilled , since the divorce was n't finalized , and the baby would be born with his name ! Jessie gave birth to a beautiful daughter , Nancy Brewer , and Lee gallantly released Jessie from the `` burden '' of their engagement . Unfortunately , Nancy Brewer died of a heart condition in July 1966 . Lee was delighted by the arrival of nurse Meg Bentley that same year . Meg was a widow with a young son Scotty and teenage stepdaughter Brooke . Lee was forced to maintain a platonic relationship with Meg , since she was already engaged to Dr. Noel Clinton . Meg was devastated when Noel announced that he was leaving her for her stepdaughter Brooke ! Meg turned to Lee , who helped her through the shocking crisis . The situation was difficult for young Scotty Bentley , who lost both his sister and the man he hoped would become his father , when Noel and Brooke ran off to get married . Lee became a surrogate father to Scotty , and Meg happily wed Lee in late 1966 . Lee adopted Scotty shortly thereafter . Lee defended Jessie when she faced murder charges over her dead husband , Dr. John Prentice . Lee lost the case , and Jessie was sent to jail , but an eleventh hour confession by her stepdaughter Polly set her free .", "2": "In 1969 , Lee and Meg 's marriage began to come apart when Meg 's old nursing school friend , Iris Fairchild , came to Port Charles and used alcohol to solve her life 's problems . Lee intervened and counseled her , giving her a job as his secretary and a reason to go on . Meg grew jealous of Lee 's friendship with Iris , and accused them of having an affair . Lee and Meg separated for a while over Meg 's unfounded accusations , but came together again when Lee donated his kidney to save Scotty 's life . The following year , Brooke 's marriage to Noel had fallen apart and Brooke returned to live with Meg and Lee . Meg was diagnosed with breast cancer , and after a radical mastectomy , Meg 's insecurities about her appearance were magnified by the presence of sexy Brooke . Meg suffered a nervous breakdown from her jealousy and depression , and Lee was regrettably forced to institutionalize his wife . By 1971 , Lee was thrilled to welcome Meg back from the mental institution , supposedly recovered from her mental breakdown . Now , Meg suffered from a severe case of hypertension . Dr. Lesley Williams , a strikingly beautiful doctor , was assigned to her case at General Hospital . The jealous Meg began to suspect -- wrongly -- that Lesley was trying to work her way into Lee 's bed ! During an argument with Lee , Meg suddenly died of a fatal stroke . Lee was devastated , but remained strong for Scotty . Lee defended Jessie against murder charges again in 1974 , when Jessie stood accused of her ex-husband Dr. Phil Brewer 's murder . Jessie saddened Lee when she refused to cooperate in her own defense . Lee urged Jessie to fight the charges , letting his emotions run away with him and kissing her passionately ! Lee proved Jessie 's innocence , but they could n't rekindle their old relationship . To Scotty 's delight , Lee Baldwin found a soulmate in adoption agent Caroline Chandler . After a marriage and a short honeymoon , the newlyweds returned to town to face the disastrous news that Caroline 's son , Bobby , an energetic med student , was suffering from an incurable case of Melenkoff 's disease . Miraculously , Bobby 's certain fate was reversed when Steve discovered that Bobby 's fatal diagnosis was wrong !", "3": "Rejoicing from the welcome news , Lee and Caroline joined Bobby in New York where he received treatment . Lee Baldwin returned to Port Charles in 1977 after his wife died in an accident . Lee found comfort in long , warm and platonic evenings with Dr. Gail Adamson. Lee and Gail were good company for each other . Sensing his devastation , Gail secretly contacted Scotty Baldwin , Lee 's stepson , urging the young law student to get in touch with the only father he 'd ever known . Scotty had left Port Charles several years earlier and was now living in New York 's Greenwich Village . Gail 's mission worked when Scotty showed up in town . She smiled with satisfaction as father and son reunited . Scotty , agreeing to join the `` establishment '' , accepted a clerking job at General Hospital , where he met and became instantly captivated by young Laura Webber . In the spring of 1979 , Scotty kept assuring Laura that he was doing everything in his power to bring a June wedding about , but she lost confidence that they would ever be together . Disillusioned , Laura returned her ring and set out to make new friends . Laura 's disregard for his feelings sent Scotty into a tailspin . In despair , Scotty turned to drink . Thankfully , Lee , a recovering alcoholic , pulled his son out of the trap . Lee and Gail were married early in 1979 , followed by Laura and Scotty a short time later . Gail and Lee were constantly wrapped up in Scotty 's personal troubles . They stood by him through all the tumultuous twists and turns in Scotty 's marriage to Laura which included her rape at the campus disco by Luke Spencer . 1980 -- 2013 ( edit ) For much of 1980 , Lee and Gail tried to help Laura and Scotty repair their damaged marriage which became strained because of Laura 's rape . Scotty eventually found proof of who had raped Laura and showed up at Luke 's wedding to Jennifer Smith , and punched Luke , sending him flying overboard the Smith yacht . Laura found Luke and disappeared from Port Charles , leaving Scotty very bitter towards life . He soon disappeared from Port Charles , leaving only a letter for Laura , denouncing her as a slut .", "4": "Because he blamed her for Scotty 's departure , Lee became antagonistic towards Laura , especially when they found themselves face to face at ELQ where Laura worked as a receptionist and Lee aided Edward Quartermaine in his legal issues . After Laura spent another summer on the run with Luke , she returned , determined to marry Scotty , and found him in Mexico where he promised to give her a divorce so she could marry Luke . The divorce papers ended up in Lee 's hands , and he burned them , embittered over Laura 's betrayal of his son . Gail feared that Lee would turn back to the bottle , but eventually Lee confessed what he had done and made amends with Laura , attending the wedding with no animosity from either Luke or Laura . When Scotty caught the bridal bouquet at the wedding and announced that he was contesting the divorce , Lee and Gail tried to talk some sense into him but were horrified to find out that he had returned to town a very embittered man . When Laura disappeared soon afterwards and was presumed dead , Lee and Gail mourned her but were relieved to find out that Scotty ( who had shared a plane ride with her that very night ) had nothing to do with her disappearance . At Scotty 's encouragement , Lee ran for Mayor in 1983 , and his opponent was none other than Luke Spencer , the man who ruined Scotty and Laura 's marriage ! Scotty was managing Lee 's campaign and using smear tactics to discredit Luke . Scotty even threatened to expose Luke 's sister 's past as a prostitute to get him to drop out of the race ! When Lee found out what Scotty was up to , Lee fired Scotty and Scotty left town . Luke 's campaign manager D.L. Brock used Lee 's alcoholism against him but Luke demanded that he not pull stunts like what Scotty had done . Luke won the election but after Laura was revealed to be alive , he resigned and Lee took over , resigning at the end of 1985 and leaving town with Gail to travel in early 1986 . In 1989 , Gail visited Port Charles alone , informing Scott ( who had returned ) that Lee was busy with work . The next year , Lee paid a visit with Gail and was shocked to find him in bed with Tracy Quartermaine .", "5": "They returned to town for good in 1992 and supported Scotty when he married Dominique Taub who was dying . They were present at his wedding to Katherine Bell in late 1983 which was broken off when Lucy Coe revealed lies about Katherine 's past . Scott left town shortly afterwards . Lee and Gail were surprised to learn they were grandparents , when it was revealed in 1994 that Scott fathered high school graduate Karen Wexler with his secretary Rhonda Wexler when he was a law student . The very same year , Lee defended old friend Edward Quartermaine on the charges of murdering his own illegitimate son Bradley Ward who had actually been killed by their old business acquaintance Jack Boland . After several ups and downs with Scotty , Lee and Gail were thrilled when he returned to Port Charles in 1997 with his young daughter Serena . Dr. Julie Devlin called on Lee 's legal services in 1998 when she stood accused of the General Homicide serial killings . Julie 's murder trial began and Lee set out to make Dr. Eve Lambert look like the guilty party . Lee was successful in his defense of Julie , who was acquitted of all the charges against her . The killer was still at large , but the authorities now had a clue to go on as someone who resembled Eve was caught on tape by the surveillance camera on the roof of the hospital . At that same time , a woman wearing a very Eve - like wig was seen looking at herself in the mirror . When the woman turned around , it was revealed that Julie was the General Homicide killer ! As it turned out , Julie was really being controlled by evil Dr. Greg Cooper , and was doing his bidding . When Julie was finally caught , Lee Baldwin was appointed as her legal guardian , and Gail helped see to it that Julie was committed to Ferncliff psychiatric facility to get the therapy she needed . Chris and Julie schemed to have Lee replaced as Julie 's guardian to further their plan to get Julie acquitted of the murder charges and released from Ferncliff . Lee worried his loved ones in 1999 when he suffered a Pulmonary Embolism that nearly claimed his life , but with the love and support of his family rallying around him , Lee pulled through and is back to being a vital part of Port Charles .", "6": "For months , DV Bordisso had made life a living hell for Scott and Lucy Coe . As it turned out , DV claimed to be Scott 's biological father and he wanted to get revenge on Scott for what his mother , Meg , had done to him before Scott was even born ! Scott , Lucy , Kevin , Eve and Victor all teamed up to beat DV at his own game and emerged victorious in the end . DV , however , managed to frame Scott for attempted murder , but an innocent Scott beat the charges . Scott faced some inner demons upon learning that DV was his biological father , but Lee helped Scott to see that no matter what Scott 's biology , he was Lee 's son , and was a good person . Lee and Gail were devastated by the July 2003 death of their eldest granddaughter Karen , when she was hit by a car . Though Lee and Gail mourned her death , they took comfort in the fact that Karen 's blood helped save Lucy 's life . Lila Quartermaine quietly died in her sleep on the evening of Tuesday , July 13 , 2004 , and Lee and Gail paid their respects to the Quartermaines at the funeral that Friday . The sources of joy for Lee are his beloved wife Gail and granddaughter , Serena . Highly respected by everyone in the community , Lee always comes down on the right side of the law . In May 2013 , Scott opted not to invite Lee , Gail , & Serena to his & Laura 's wedding , but rather keep it small and intimate . Their second attempt at marriage ended in divorce soon afterwards due to her pre-occupation with Luke 's ongoing problems . 2017 ( edit ) On July 13 , 2017 , Lucy comes to Scott to report Lee 's passing ( actor Peter Hansen died on April 9 ) .", "7": "References ( edit ) Jump up ^ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Hansen_(actor ) External links ( edit ) Lee Baldwin @ SoapCentral.Com General Hospital General Hospital characters ( current contract cast only ) Curtis Ashford Jordan Ashford Hayden Barnes Nina Clay Carly Corinthos Jacks Corinthos Sonny Corinthos Alexis Davis Anna Devane Dante Falconeri Olivia Falconeri Hamilton Finn Franco Nelle Hayes Ava Jerome Julian Jerome Kiki Jerome Maxie Jones Andre Maddox Jason Morgan Sam Morgan Griffin Munro Dillon Quartermaine Michael Quartermaine Laura Spencer Lulu Spencer - Falconeri Elizabeth Webber Nathan West General Hospital characters ( recurring cast ) TJ Ashford Ned Ashton Scott Baldwin Spencer Cassadine Lucy Coe Darby Collette Kevin Collins Brad Cooper Kristina Davis Emma Drake Felix DuBois Leo Falconeri Rocco Falconeri Parker Forsyth Max Giambetti Milo Giambetti Alice Gunderson Josslyn Jacks Epiphany Johnson Lucas Jones Molly Lansing Ric Lansing Janice Lomax Rosalie Martinez Matthew Mayes Diane Miller Daniel Morgan Liesl Obrecht Monica Quartermaine Delia Ryan Mac Scorpio Robert Scorpio Felicia Scorpio - Jones Aiden Spencer Bobbie Spencer Cameron Spencer Jake Spencer Valerie Spencer Damian Spinelli Georgie Spinelli Ellie Trout David Walters Heather Webber General Hospital characters ( notable former characters ) Diego Alcazar Lorenzo Alcazar Ruby Anderson Larry Ashton Gail Baldwin Lee Baldwin Tom Baldwin Sr .", "8": "Brenda Barrett Julia Barrett Amanda Barrington Katherine Bell Jessie Brewer Phil Brewer Shawn Butler Gia Campbell Helena Cassadine Mikkos Cassadine Stavros Cassadine Stefan Cassadine Victor Cassadine Jagger Cates Stone Cates Lois Cerullo Ryan Chamberlain Skye Chandler Mike Corbin Morgan Corinthos Rae Cummings Marco Dane Anna Donely Sean Donely Noah Drake Patrick Drake Bill Eckert Cesar Faison Connie Falconeri Audrey Hardy Tom Hardy Simone Hardy Steve Hardy Tom Hardy Tiffany Hill Paul Hornsby Matt Hunter Jasper Jacks Jerry Jacks Victor Jerome B.J.

how does a solid state fuel pump work

{ "0": "Fuel pump - wikipedia Fuel pump Jump to : navigation , search Not to be confused with fuel dispenser . This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( June 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) A high - pressure fuel pump on a Yanmar 2GM20 marine diesel engine A fuel pump is a frequently ( but not always ) essential component on a car or other internal combustion engined device . Many engines ( older motorcycle engines in particular ) do not require any fuel pump at all , requiring only gravity to feed fuel from the fuel tank or under high pressure to the fuel injection system . Often , carbureted engines use low pressure mechanical pumps that are mounted outside the fuel tank , whereas fuel injected engines often use electric fuel pumps that are mounted inside the fuel tank ( and some fuel injected engines have two fuel pumps : one low pressure / high volume supply pump in the tank and one high pressure / low volume pump on or near the engine ) . Fuel pressure needs to be within certain specifications for the engine to run correctly . If the fuel pressure is too high , the engine will run rough and rich , not combusting all of the fuel being pumped making the engine inefficient and a pollutant . If the pressure is too low , the engine may run lean , misfire , or stall . Contents ( hide ) 1 Mechanical pump 1.1 Plunger - Type Fuel Pump 1.2 Decline of mechanical pumps 2 Electric pump 3 Diesel Fuel Pumps 4 Turbopumps 5 References Mechanical pump ( edit ) Mechanical fuel pump , fitted to cylinder head Prior to the widespread adoption of electronic fuel injection , most carbureted automobile engines used mechanical fuel pumps to transfer fuel from the fuel tank into the fuel bowls of the carburetor . The two most widely used fuel feed pumps are diaphragm and plunger - type mechanical pumps . Diaphragm pumps are a type of positive displacement pump . Diaphragm pumps contain a pump chamber whose volume is increased or decreased by the flexing of a flexible diaphragm , similar to the action of a piston pump .", "1": "A check valve is located at both the inlet and outlet ports of the pump chamber to force the fuel to flow in one direction only . Specific designs vary , but in the most common configuration , these pumps are typically bolted onto the engine block or head , and the engine 's camshaft has an extra eccentric lobe that operates a lever on the pump , either directly or via a pushrod , by pulling the diaphragm to bottom dead center . In doing so , the volume inside the pump chamber increased , causing pressure to decrease. This allows fuel to be pushed into the pump from the tank ( caused by atmospheric pressure acting on the fuel in the tank ) . The return motion of the diaphragm to top dead center is accomplished by a diaphragm spring , during which the fuel in the pump chamber is squeezed through the outlet port and into the carburetor . The pressure at which the fuel is expelled from the pump is thus limited ( and therefore regulated ) by the force applied by the diaphragm spring . The carburetor typically contains a float bowl into which the expelled fuel is pumped . When the fuel level in the float bowl exceeds a certain level , the inlet valve to the carburetor will close , preventing the fuel pump from pumping more fuel into the carburetor . At this point , any remaining fuel inside the pump chamber is trapped , unable to exit through the inlet port or outlet port . The diaphragm will continue to allow pressure to the diaphragm , and during the subsequent rotation , the eccentric will pull the diaphragm back to bottom dead center , where it will remain until the inlet valve to the carburetor reopens . Because one side of the pump diaphragm contains fuel under pressure and the other side is connected to the crankcase of the engine , if the diaphragm splits ( a common failure ) , it can leak fuel into the crankcase . The capacity of both mechanical and electric fuel pump is measured in psi ( which stands for pounds per square inch ) . Usually , this unit is the general measurement for pressure , yet it has slightly different meaning , when talking about fuel pumps . In this context it denotes the speed , at which the pump delivers fuel from the tank to the engine . This is one of fuel pump characteristics . The higher pressure is , the faster fuel flows .", "2": "Diagram of diaphragm type fuel pump Plunger - type fuel pump ( edit ) Plunger - type pumps are a type of positive displacement pump that contain a pump chamber whose volume is increased and / or decreased by a plunger moving in and out of a chamber full of fuel with inlet and discharge stop - check valves . It is similar to that of a piston pump , but the high - pressure seal is stationary while the smooth cylindrical plunger slides through the seal . These pumps typically run at a higher pressure than diaphragm type pumps . Specific designs vary , but in the most common configuration , these pumps are mounted on the side of the injection pump and driven by the camshaft , either directly or via a pushrod . When the camshaft lobe is at top dead center , the plunger has just finished pushing the fuel through the discharge valve . A spring is used to pull the plunger outward creating a lower pressure pulling fuel into the chamber from the inlet valve . These pumps can run between 250 and 1,800 bar ( 3,625 and 26,000 psi ) . Because it is connected to the camshaft , the discharge pressure of these pumps is constant , but the rate at which it pumps is directly correlated to the revolutions per minute ( rpm ) of the engine . Both pumps create negative pressure to draw the fuel through the lines . However , the low pressure between the pump and the fuel tank , in combination with heat from the engine and / or hot weather , can cause the fuel to vaporize in the supply line . This results in fuel starvation as the fuel pump , designed to pump liquid , not vapor , is unable to suck more fuel to the engine , causing the engine to stall . This condition is different from vapor lock , where high engine heat on the pressured side of the pump ( between the pump and the carburetor ) boils the fuel in the lines , also starving the engine of enough fuel to run . Mechanical automotive fuel pumps generally do not generate much more than 10 -- 15 psi , which is more than enough for most carburetors . Decline of mechanical pumps ( edit ) As engines moved away from carburetors and towards fuel injection , mechanical fuel pumps were replaced with electric fuel pumps , because fuel injection systems operate more efficiently at higher fuel pressures ( 40 -- 60 psi ) than mechanical diaphragm pumps can generate .", "3": "Electric fuel pumps are generally located in the fuel tank , in order to use the fuel in the tank to cool the pump and to ensure a steady supply of fuel . Another benefit of an in - tank mounted fuel pump is that a suction pump at the engine could suck in air through a ( difficult to diagnose ) faulty hose connection , while a leaking connection in a pressure line will show itself immediately . A potential hazard of a tank - mounted fuel pump is that all of the fuel lines are under ( high ) pressure , from the tank to the engine . Any leak will be easily detected , but is also hazardous . Electric pump ( edit ) A piston metering pump f.e. gasoline -- or additive metering pump In many modern cars the fuel pump is usually electric and located inside the fuel tank . The pump creates positive pressure in the fuel lines , pushing the gasoline to the engine . The higher gasoline pressure raises the boiling point . Placing the pump in the tank puts the component least likely to handle gasoline vapor well ( the pump itself ) farthest from the engine , submersed in cool liquid . Another benefit to placing the pump inside the tank is that it is less likely to start a fire . Though electrical components ( such as a fuel pump ) can spark and ignite fuel vapors , liquid fuel will not explode ( see flammability limit ) and therefore submerging the pump in the tank is one of the safest places to put it . In most cars , the fuel pump delivers a constant flow of gasoline to the engine ; fuel not used is returned to the tank . This further reduces the chance of the fuel boiling , since it is never kept close to the hot engine for too long . Electric fuel pump An advantage of an electric fuel pump is reduced fuel consumption because it does not have the resistance associated with a mechanical drive and because the fuel supply can be monitored more accurately by the electronic control unit ( ECU ) . Pre-delivery of fuel can also be accomplished by an electric fuel pump because it does not depend on engine rpm . Due to this , rapid engine starting can be implemented to conserve gas . This is particularly important in stop - start systems where the engine turns itself off when it senses no use , such as stopped at a stoplight .", "4": "The ignition switch does not carry the power to the fuel pump ; instead , it activates a relay which will handle the higher current load . It is common for the fuel pump relay to become oxidized and cease functioning ; this is much more common than the actual fuel pump failing . Modern engines utilize solid - state control which allows the fuel pressure to be controlled via pulse - width modulation of the pump voltage . This increases the life of the pump , allows a smaller and lighter device to be used , and reduces electrical load . Cars with electronic fuel injection have an electronic control unit ( ECU ) and this may be programmed with safety logic that will shut the electric fuel pump off , even if the engine is running . In the event of a collision this will prevent fuel leaking from any ruptured fuel line . Additionally , cars may have an inertia switch ( usually located underneath the front passenger seat ) that is `` tripped '' in the event of an impact , or a roll - over valve that will shut off the fuel pump in case the car rolls over . Some ECUs may also be programmed to shut off the fuel pump if they detect low or zero oil pressure , for instance if the engine has suffered a terminal failure ( with the subsequent risk of fire in the engine compartment ) . The fuel sending unit assembly may be a combination of the electric fuel pump , the filter , the strainer , and the electronic device used to measure the amount of fuel in the tank via a float attached to a sensor which sends data to the dash - mounted fuel gauge . The fuel pump by itself is a relatively inexpensive part . But a mechanic at a garage might have a preference to install the entire unit assembly . Diesel fuel pumps ( edit ) Diesel fuel pumps operate at a much higher pressure due to the engine 's specs and are usually mechanical pumps such as common rail radial piston pump , common rail two piston radial , inline pump , port and helix , and metering unit design . Radial piston pumps used in cars and trucks are fuel lubricated , this helps with keeping oil out of the high pressure fuel . Oil in the fuel can raise emissions and clog injectors . Many diesel engines are common rail , which means all the injectors are supplied by one pipe full of high pressure fuel supplied by the fuel pump . Common rails dampen the pressure fluctuations when fuel is used by each injector and pumped into the cylinder .", "5": "Common rails also make it easier for the fuel pressure to be measured by one device instead of one per cylinder . Port and Helix ( plunger type ) high pressure fuel pumps are most commonly used in marine diesels because of their simplicity , reliability , and its ability to be scaled up in proportion to the engine size . Port and Helix type pump Port and Helix pumps are cam driven plunger type pumps that run at one - half engine rpm for four stoke engines and at the same rpm in the case of a two stroke . The pump is similar to that of a radial piston type pump but instead of a piston it has a machined plunger that has no seals . When the plunger is at top dead center , the injection to the cylinder is finished and it is returned on its downward stroke by a compression spring . Because the height of the cam lobe can not be easily changed , the amount of fuel being pumped to the injector is controlled by a rack and pinion device that rotates the plunger allowing variable amounts of fuel to the area above the plunger . Inlet and outlet ports are located on two sides of the pumps cylinder walls allowing fuel to flow through the compression chamber until the plunger is driven up closing the two ports and starting the compression motion . The outlet port feeds back into the fuel tank / settler of the engine . The fuel is then forced through a stop check valve , to prevent backflow to the injector nozzle at pressures that can exceed 18,000 psi . Turbopumps ( edit ) Main article : Turbopump Many jet engines , including rocket engines use a turbopump which is a centrifugal pump usually propelled by a gas turbine or in some cases a ram - air device ( particularly in ramjet engines which lack a shaft ) .

The three soldiers are played by Robert De Niro , Christopher Walken , and John Savage , with John Cazale ( in his final role ) , Meryl Streep , and George Dzundza playing supporting roles . The story takes place in Clairton , Pennsylvania , a small working class town on the Monongahela River south of Pittsburgh , and in Vietnam . The film was based in part on an unproduced screenplay called The Man Who Came to Play by Louis Garfinkle and Quinn K. Redeker , about Las Vegas and Russian roulette . Producer Michael Deeley , who bought the script , hired writer / director Michael Cimino who , with Deric Washburn , rewrote the script , taking the Russian roulette element and placing it in the Vietnam War . The film went over-budget and over-schedule , and ended up costing $15 million . The scenes depicting Russian roulette were highly controversial after the film 's release .", "1": "The film won five Academy Awards , including Best Picture , Best Director for Michael Cimino , and Best Supporting Actor for Christopher Walken , and marked Meryl Streep 's first Academy Award nomination ( for Best Supporting Actress ) ; she would go on to become the most nominated actor in history . In 1996 it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' , and was named the 53rd greatest American film of all time by the American Film Institute in 2007 in their 10th Anniversary Edition of the AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Movies list .

Mike is a serious but unassuming leader ; Steven the groom - to - be , pecked - at by his mother ; and Nick the introspective man who loves deer hunting . Before the trio ships out , Steven and his girlfriend Angela marry in a Russian Orthodox wedding . Mike works to control his feelings for Nick 's girlfriend Linda . At the wedding reception held at the local VFW hall , the guys drink , dance , sing , and enjoy the festivities , but then notice a soldier in a U.S. Army Special Forces uniform . Mike attempts to ask what Vietnam is like , but the soldier ignores him . After Mike explains that he , Steven , and Nick are going to Vietnam , the Green Beret raises his glass and says `` fuck it '' . After being restrained from starting a fight , Mike goes back to the bar and raises his glass and toasts him with `` fuck it '' . The soldier glances over at Mike and grins . Later , Steven and Angela drink from conjoined goblets , a traditional part of the Orthodox wedding ceremony . It is believed that if they drink without spilling any wine , they will have good luck for life .", "3": "Two drops of blood - red wine unknowingly spill on her wedding gown . After Linda catches the bride 's bouquet , Nick asks her to marry him , and she agrees . Later that night , a drunken Mike runs through the town , stripping himself naked along the way . After Nick chases him down , he begs Mike not to leave him `` over there '' if anything happens in combat . The next day , Mike , Nick , Stan , John , and Axel go deer hunting one last time . Mike is exasperated by his friends , especially Stan , who drinks and clowns , showing little respect for the ritual of hunting , which to Mike is a nearly sacred experience . Only Nick understands Mike 's attitude , but he is more indulgent toward his friends . Mike goes hunting afterwards and kills a deer with one clean shot . The friends return to Welsh 's bar , with Michael 's deer strapped to the hood of the car . They enter rambunctiously , spraying beers over each other and singing loudly . Welsh then makes his way to the piano and begins playing Chopin 's Nocturne No. 6 Op. 15 - 3 . In Vietnam , U.S. helicopters attack a village . An unconscious Mike ( now a Staff Sergeant in the Special Forces ) wakes up to see an NVA soldier shoot a woman carrying a baby . Mike kills him with a flamethrower . Meanwhile , a unit of UH - 1 `` Huey '' helicopters drops off several U.S. infantrymen , Nick and Steven among them . Mike , Steven , and Nick unexpectedly find each other just before they are captured and held in a prisoner of war camp . For entertainment , the guards force the prisoners to play Russian roulette and gamble on the outcome . All three friends are forced to play . Steven plays against Mike , who offers moral support , but Steven breaks down and points the gun upwards whilst pulling the trigger , grazing himself with the bullet when it discharges . As punishment , the guards put him into an underwater cage full of rats and dead bodies . Mike and Nick hatch a plan to escape by playing against each other , with Mike convincing the guards to let them play Russian roulette with three bullets in the gun . After a tense match , they kill their captors and escape . After killing the guards , Mike rescues Steven .", "4": "The three float downriver on a tree limb . An American helicopter finds them , but only Nick is able to climb aboard . The weakened Steven falls back into the water , and Mike plunges in the water to rescue him . Mike helps Steven to reach the river bank , but Steven 's legs are broken , so Mike carries him through the jungle to friendly lines . Approaching a caravan of locals escaping the war zone , Mike stops a South Vietnamese military truck and places the wounded Steven on it , asking the soldiers to take care of him . Nick recuperates in a military hospital in Saigon with no knowledge of his friends . After being released , he goes AWOL and aimlessly stumbles through the red - light district at night . He encounters Julien Grinda , a Frenchman , outside a gambling den where men play Russian roulette for money . Grinda entices the reluctant Nick to participate and leads him into the den . Mike is present in the den , watching the game , but the two friends do not notice each other at first . When Mike does see Nick , he is unable to get his attention . When Nick is introduced into the game , he grabs the gun , fires it at the current contestant , and then again at his own temple , causing the audience to riot in protest . Grinda hustles Nick outside to his car to escape the angry mob . Mike can not catch up with them as they speed away . Back in the U.S. , Mike maintains a low profile . He tells a cab driver to drive past the house where all his friends are waiting , as he is embarrassed by the fuss Linda and the others have made . He visits Linda the following day and grows close to her , but only because of the friend they both think they have lost . Mike goes to visit Angela at Steven 's mother 's home . Angela is barely responsive . When asked by Mike about Steven 's whereabouts , she writes a phone number on a scrap of paper , which leads Mike to the local VA hospital where Steven has been for several months . Mike goes hunting with Axel , John , and Stan one more time , and after tracking a deer across the woods , fires into the air . He then sits on a rock escarpment and yells out , `` OK ? '' , which echoes back at him .", "5": "He also berates Stan for carrying around a small revolver and waving it around , not realizing it is loaded . Mike visits Steven , who has lost both of his legs and is partially paralyzed . Steven reveals that someone in Saigon has been mailing large amounts of money to him , and Mike is convinced that it is Nick . Mike brings a reluctant Steven home to Angela and then travels to Saigon just before its fall in 1975 . He tracks down Grinda , who has made a lot of money from the Russian roulette - playing Nick . He finds Nick in a crowded gambling club , but Nick appears to have no recollection of his friends or his home . Mike enters the game of Russian roulette against Nick , hoping to jog his memory and persuade him to come home , but Nick 's mind is gone . To keep him from taking another turn , Mike grabs Nick 's arms , which are covered in scars . At the last moment , after Mike reminds Nick of their hunting trips together , Nick recognizes Mike and smiles . Nick raises the gun to his temple , and pulls the trigger , killing himself . Mike tries reviving him , but to no avail . Back home in 1975 , the friends have gathered for Nick 's funeral , whom Mike has brought home , staying good to his promise . Mike toasts in Nick 's honor . Cast ( edit ) Robert De Niro as SSG Michael `` Mike '' Vronsky . Producer Deeley pursued De Niro for The Deer Hunter because he felt that he needed De Niro 's star power to sell a film with a `` gruesome - sounding storyline and a barely known director '' . `` I liked the script , and ( Cimino ) had done a lot of prep , '' said De Niro . `` I was impressed . '' De Niro prepared by socializing with steelworkers in local bars and by visiting their homes . Cimino introduced De Niro as his agent , Harry Ufland . No one recognized him . De Niro claims this was his most physically exhausting film . He explained that the scene where Mike visits Steven in the hospital for the first time was the most emotional scene that he was ever involved with .", "6": "De Niro was a last - minute replacement for Roy Scheider , who dropped out of the production two weeks before the start of filming due to `` creative differences '' ; Universal managed to keep Scheider to his three - picture contract by forcing him into doing Jaws 2 ( 1978 ) . Christopher Walken as Cpl . Nikanor `` Nick '' Chevotarevich . His performance garnered his first Academy Award , for Best Supporting Actor . John Savage as Cpl . Steven Pushkov . John Cazale as Stan ( `` Stosh '' ) . All scenes involving Cazale , who had terminal cancer , were filmed first . Because of his illness , the studio initially wanted to fire him , but Streep , with whom he was in a relationship , and Cimino threatened to walk away if they did . He was also uninsurable , and according to Streep , De Niro paid for his insurance because he wanted Cazale in the film . This was Cazale 's last film , as he died shortly after filming wrapped . Cazale never saw the finished film . Meryl Streep as Linda . Prior to The Deer Hunter , Streep was seen briefly in Fred Zinnemann 's Julia ( 1977 ) and the eight - hour miniseries Holocaust ( 1978 ) . In the screenplay , Streep 's role was negligible . Cimino explained the set - up to Streep and suggested that she write her own lines . George Dzundza as John Welsh Pierre Segui as Julien Grinda Shirley Stoler as Steven 's mother Chuck Aspegren as Peter `` Axel '' Axelrod . Aspegren was not an actor ; he was the foreman at an East Chicago steelworks visited early in pre-production by De Niro and Cimino . They were so impressed with him that they offered him the role . He was the second person to be cast in the film , after De Niro . Rutanya Alda as Angela Ludhjduravic - Pushkov Amy Wright as Bridesmaid Joe Grifasi as Bandleader While producer Deeley was pleased with the revised script , he was still concerned about being able to sell the film .", "7": "`` We still had to get millions out of a major studio , '' wrote Deeley , `` as well as convince our markets around the world that they should buy it before it was finished . I needed someone with the caliber of Robert De Niro . '' De Niro was one of the biggest stars at that time , coming off Mean Streets ( 1973 ) , The Godfather Part II ( 1974 ) , and Taxi Driver ( 1976 ) . In addition to attracting buyers , Deeley felt De Niro was `` the right age , apparently tough as hell , and immensely talented . '' Hiring De Niro turned out to be a casting coup because he knew so many actors in New York . De Niro brought Meryl Streep to the attention of Cimino and Deeley . With Streep came John Cazale . De Niro also accompanied Cimino to scout locations for the steel mill sequence as well as rehearsed with the actors to use the workshops as a bonding process . Each of the six principal male characters carried a photo in their back pocket depicting them all together as children , to enhance the sense of camaraderie amongst them . Additionally , director Cimino instructed the props department to fashion complete Pennsylvania IDs for each of them , including driver 's licenses , medical cards , and various other pieces of paraphernalia , in order to enhance each actor 's sense of his character . Pre-production ( edit ) There has been considerable debate , controversy , and conflicting stories about how The Deer Hunter was initially developed and written . Director and co-writer Michael Cimino , writer Deric Washburn , and producers Barry Spikings and Michael Deeley all have different versions of how the film came to be . Development ( edit ) In 1968 , the record company EMI formed a new company called EMI Films , headed by producers Barry Spikings and Michael Deeley . Deeley purchased the first draft of a spec script called The Man Who Came to Play , written by Louis Garfinkle and Quinn K. Redeker , for $19,000 . The spec script was about people who go to Las Vegas to play Russian roulette . `` The screenplay had struck me as brilliant , '' wrote Deeley , `` but it was n't complete .", "8": "The trick would be to find a way to turn a very clever piece of writing into a practical , realizable film . '' When the movie was being planned during the mid-1970s , Vietnam was still a taboo subject with all major Hollywood studios . According to producer Michael Deeley , the standard response was `` no American would want to see a picture about Vietnam '' . After consulting various Hollywood agents , Deeley found writer - director Michael Cimino , represented by Stan Kamen at the William Morris Agency . Deeley was impressed by Cimino 's TV commercial work and crime film Thunderbolt and Lightfoot ( 1974 ) . Cimino himself was confident that he could further develop the principal characters of The Man Who Came to Play without losing the essence of the original . After Cimino was hired , he was called into a meeting with Garfinkle and Redeker at the EMI office . According to Deeley , Cimino questioned the need for the Russian roulette element of the script , and Redeker made such a passionate case for it that he ended up literally on his knees . Over the course of further meetings , Cimino and Deeley discussed the work needed at the front of the script , and Cimino believed he could develop the stories of the main characters in the first 20 minutes of film . Screenplay ( edit ) Cimino worked for six weeks with Deric Washburn on the script . Cimino and Washburn had previously collaborated with Stephen Bochco on the screenplay for Silent Running ( 1972 ) . According to producer Spikings , Cimino said he wanted to work again with Washburn . According to producer Deeley , he only heard from office rumor that Washburn was contracted by Cimino to work on the script . `` Whether Cimino hired Washburn as his sub-contractor or as a co-writer was constantly being obfuscated , '' wrote Deeley , `` and there were some harsh words between them later on , or so I was told . '' Cimino 's claim ( edit ) According to Cimino , he would call Washburn while on the road scouting for locations and feed him notes on dialogue and story . Upon reviewing Washburn 's draft , Cimino said , `` I came back , and read it and I just could not believe what I read .", "9": "It was like it was written by somebody who was ... mentally deranged . '' Cimino confronted Washburn at the Sunset Marquis in LA about the draft , and Washburn supposedly replied that he could n't take the pressure and had to go home . Cimino then fired Washburn . Cimino later claimed to have written the entire screenplay himself . Washburn 's response to Cimino 's comments were , `` It 's all nonsense . It 's lies . I did n't have a single drink the entire time I was working on the script . '' Washburn 's claim ( edit ) According to Washburn , he and Cimino spent three days together in Los Angeles at the Sunset Marquis , hammering out the plot . The script eventually went through several drafts , evolving into a story with three distinct acts . Washburn did not interview any veterans to write The Deer Hunter nor do any research . `` I had a month , that was it , '' he explains . `` The clock was ticking . Write the fucking script ! But all I had to do was watch TV . Those combat cameramen in Vietnam were out there in the field with the guys . I mean , they had stuff that you would n't dream of seeing about Iraq . '' When Washburn was finished , he says , Cimino and Joann Carelli , an associate producer on The Deer Hunter who went on to produce two more of Cimino 's later films , took him to dinner at a cheap restaurant off the Sunset Strip . He recalls , `` We finished , and Joann looks at me across the table , and she says , ' Well , Deric , it 's fuck - off time . ' I was fired . It was a classic case : you get a dummy , get him to write the goddamn thing , tell him to go fuck himself , put your name on the thing , and he 'll go away . I was so tired , I did n't care . I 'd been working 20 hours a day for a month . I got on the plane the next day , and I went back to Manhattan and my carpenter job . ''", "10": "Deeley 's reaction to the revised script ( edit ) Deeley felt the revised script , now called The Deer Hunter , broke fresh ground for the project . The protagonist in the Redeker / Garfinkle script , Merle , was an individual who sustained a bad injury in active service and was damaged psychologically by his violent experiences , but was nevertheless a tough character with strong nerves and guts . Cimino and Washburn 's revised script distilled the three aspects of Merle 's personality and separated them out into three distinct characters . They became three old friends who grew up in the same small industrial town and worked in the same steel mill , and in due course were drafted together to Vietnam . In the original script , the roles of Merle ( later renamed Mike ) and Nick were reversed in the last half of the film . Nick returns home to Linda , while Mike remains in Vietnam , sends money home to help Steven , and meets his tragic fate at the Russian roulette table . A Writers ' Guild arbitration process awarded Washburn sole `` Screenplay by '' credit . Garfinkle and Redeker were given a shared `` Story by '' credit with Cimino and Washburn . Deeley felt the story credits for Garfinkle and Redeker `` did them less than justice . '' Cimino contested the results of the arbitration . `` In their Nazi wisdom , '' added Cimino , `` ( they ) did n't give me the credit because I would be producer , director and writer . '' All four writers -- Cimino , Washburn , Garfinkle , and Redeker -- received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay for the film . Filming ( edit ) The Deer Hunter began principal photography on June 20 , 1977 . This was the first feature film depicting the Vietnam War to be filmed on location in Thailand . All scenes were shot on location ( no sound stages ) . `` There was discussion about shooting the film on a back lot , but the material demanded more realism , '' says Spikings . The cast and crew viewed large amounts of news footage from the war to ensure authenticity . The film was shot over a period of six months . The Clairton scenes comprise footage shot in eight different towns in four states : West Virginia , Pennsylvania , Washington , and Ohio . The initial budget of the film was $8.5 million .", "11": "Meryl Streep accepted the role of the `` vague , stock girlfriend '' , in order to remain for the duration of filming with John Cazale , who had been diagnosed with lung cancer . De Niro had spotted Streep in her stage production of The Cherry Orchard and had suggested that she play his girlfriend Linda . Before the beginning of principal photography , Deeley had a meeting with the film 's appointed line producer Robert Relyea . Deeley hired Relyea after meeting him on the set of Bullitt ( 1968 ) and was impressed with his experience . However , Relyea declined the job , refusing to disclose his reason why . Deeley suspected that Relyea sensed in director Cimino something that would have made production difficult . As a result , Cimino was acting without the day - to - day supervision of a producer . Because Deeley was busy overseeing in the production of Sam Peckinpah 's Convoy ( 1978 ) , he hired John Peverall to oversee Cimino 's shoot . Peverall 's expertise with budgeting and scheduling made him a natural successor to Relyea , and Peverall knew enough about the picture to be elevated to producer status . `` John is a straightforward Cornishman who had worked his way up to become a production supervisor , '' wrote Deeley , `` and we employed him as EMI 's watchman on certain pictures . '' The wedding scenes ( edit ) St. Theodosius Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Cleveland , Ohio . Site of the wedding scene . The wedding scenes were filmed at the historic St. Theodosius Russian Orthodox Cathedral in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland , Ohio . The wedding took five days to film . St. Theodosius ' Father Stephen Kopestonsky was cast as the priest at the wedding . The reception scene was filmed at nearby Lemko Hall . The amateur extras lined up for the crowded wedding - dance sequences drank real liquor and beer . The scenes were filmed in the summer , but were set in the fall . To accomplish a look of fall , individual leaves were removed from deciduous trees . Zsigmond also had to desaturate the colors of the exterior shots , partly in camera and in the laboratory processing .", "12": "The production manager asked each of the Russian immigrant extras to bring to the location a gift - wrapped box to double for wedding presents . The manager figured if the extras did this , not only would the production save time and money , but the gifts would also look more authentic . Once the unit wrapped and the extras disappeared , the crew discovered to their amusement that the boxes were n't empty but filled with real presents , from china to silverware . `` Who got to keep all these wonderful offerings , '' wrote Deeley `` is a mystery I never quite fathomed . '' Cimino originally claimed that the wedding scene would take up 21 minutes of screen time . In the end , it took 51 minutes . Deeley believes that Cimino always planned to make this prologue last for an hour , and `` the plan was to be advanced by stealth rather than straight dealing . '' At this point in the production , nearly halfway through principal photography , Cimino was already over budget , and producer Spikings could tell from the script that shooting the extended scene could sink the project . The bar and the steel mill ( edit ) The bar was specially constructed in an empty storefront in Mingo Junction , Ohio for $25,000 ; it later became an actual saloon for local steel mill workers . U.S. Steel allowed filming inside its Cleveland mill , including placing the actors around the furnace floor , only after securing a $5 million insurance policy . Other filming took place in Pittsburgh . Hunting the Deer ( edit ) The first deer to be shot was depicted in a `` gruesome close - up '' , although he was hit with a tranquilizer dart . The stag that Michael lets escape was the same one later used on TV commercials for the Connecticut Life Insurance Company . Vietnam and the Russian roulette scenes ( edit ) The Viet Cong Russian roulette scenes were shot in real circumstances , with real rats and mosquitoes , as the three principals ( De Niro , Walken , and Savage ) were tied up in bamboo cages erected along the River Kwai . The woman who was given the task of casting the extras in Thailand had much difficulty finding a local to play the vicious - looking individual who runs the game . The first actor hired turned out to be incapable of slapping De Niro in the face .", "13": "The caster then found a local Thai man with a particular dislike of Americans , and cast him accordingly . De Niro suggested that Walken be slapped for real by one of the guards without any warning . The reaction on Walken 's face was genuine . Producer Deeley has said that Cimino shot the brutal Vietcong Russian roulette scenes brilliantly and more efficiently than any other part of the film . De Niro and Savage performed their own stunts in the fall into the river , filming the 30 foot drop 15 times in two days . During the helicopter stunt , the runners caught on the rope bridge as the helicopter rose , which threatened to seriously injure De Niro and Savage . The actors gestured and yelled furiously to the crew in the helicopter to warn them . Footage of this is included in the film . According to Cimino , De Niro requested a live cartridge in the revolver for the scene in which he subjects John Cazale 's character to an impromptu game of Russian roulette , to heighten the intensity of the situation . Cazale agreed without protest , but obsessively rechecked the gun before each take to make sure that the live round was n't next in the chamber . While appearing later in the film , the first scenes shot upon arrival in Thailand were the hospital sequences between Walken and the military doctor . Deeley believed that this scene was `` the spur that would earn him an Academy Award . '' In the final scene in the gambling den between Mike and Nick , Cimino had Walken and De Niro improvise in one take . His direction to his actors : `` You put the gun to your head , Chris , you shoot , you fall over and Bobby cradles your head .

River Kwai , Thailand , Prison camp and initial Russian roulette scene . Post-production ( edit ) By this point , The Deer Hunter had cost $13 million and the film still had to go through an arduous post-production . Film editor Peter Zinner was given 600,000 feet of printed film to edit , a monumental task at the time . Producers Spikings and Deeley were pleased with the first cut , which ran for three and a half hours . `` We were thrilled by what we saw , '' wrote Deeley , `` and knew that within the three and a half hours we watched there was a riveting film . '' Executives from Universal , including Lew Wasserman and Sid Sheinberg , were not very enthusiastic . `` I think they were shocked , '' recalled Spikings . `` What really upset them was ' God Bless America ' . Sheinberg thought it was anti-American . He was vehement . He said something like ' You 're poking a stick in the eye of America . ' They really did n't like the movie . And they certainly did n't like it at three hours and two minutes . '' Deeley was n't surprised by the Universal response : `` The Deer Hunter was a United Artists sort of picture , whereas Convoy was more in the style of Universal . I 'd muddled and sold the wrong picture to each studio . '' Deeley did agree with Universal that the film needed to be shorter , not just because of pacing but also to ensure commercial success . `` A picture under two and a half hours can scrape three shows a day , '' wrote Deeley , `` but at three hours you 've lost one third of your screenings and one third of your income for the cinemas , distributors , and profit participants . ''", "15": "Thom Mount , president of Universal at the time , said , `` This was just a ... continuing nightmare from the day Michael finished the picture to the day we released it . That was simply because he was wedded to everything he shot . The movie was endless . It was The Deer Hunter and the Hunter and the Hunter . The wedding sequence was a cinematic event all unto its own . '' Mount says he turned to Verna Fields , Universal 's then - head of post-production . `` I sicked Verna on Cimino , '' Mount says . `` Verna was no slouch . She started to turn the heat up on Michael , and he started screeching and yelling . '' Zinner eventually cut the film down to 18,000 feet . Cimino later fired Zinner when he discovered that Zinner was editing down the wedding scenes . Zinner eventually won Best Editing Oscar for The Deer Hunter . Regarding the clashes between him and Cimino , Zinner stated : `` Michael Cimino and I had our differences at the end , but he kissed me when we both got Academy Awards . '' Cimino later commented in The New York Observer , `` ( Zinner ) was a moron ... I cut Deer Hunter myself . '' Sound design ( edit ) The Deer Hunter was Cimino 's first film to use Dolby noise - reduction system . `` What Dolby does , '' replied Cimino , `` is to give you the ability to create a density of detail of sound -- a richness so you can demolish the wall separating the viewer from the film . You can come close to demolishing the screen . '' It took five months to mix the soundtrack . One short battle sequence -- 200 feet of film in the final cut -- took five days to dub . Another sequence recreated the 1975 American evacuation of Saigon ; Cimino brought the film 's composer , Stanley Myers , out to the location to listen to the auto , tank , and jeep horns as the sequence was being photographed . The result , according to Cimino : Myers composed the music for that scene in the same key as the horn sounds , so the music and the sound effects would blend with the images to create one jarring , desolate experience .", "16": "Previews ( edit ) Both the long and short versions were previewed to Midwestern audiences , although there are different accounts among Cimino , Deeley , and Spikings as to how the previews panned out . Director Cimino claims he bribed the projectionist to interrupt the shorter version , in order to obtain better reviews of the longer one . According to producer Spikings , Wasserman let EMI 's CEO Bernard Delfont decide between the two and chose Cimino 's longer cut . Deeley claims that the two - and - a-half hour version tested had a better response . Soundtrack ( edit ) The Deer Hunter Soundtrack album by Stanley Myers Released Recorded 1978 Genre Film score Label Capitol The soundtrack to The Deer Hunter was released on audio CD on October 25 , 1990 . Selected tracks ( edit ) Stanley Myers ' `` Cavatina '' ( also known as `` He Was Beautiful '' ) , performed by classical guitarist John Williams , is commonly known as `` The Theme from The Deer Hunter '' . According to producer Deeley , he discovered that the song was originally written for a film called The Walking Stick ( 1970 ) and , as a result , had to pay the original purchaser an undisclosed sum . `` Ca n't Take My Eyes Off You '' , a 1967 hit song , sung by Frankie Valli . It is played in John 's bar when all of the friends sing along and at the wedding reception . According to Cimino , the actors sang along to a recording of the song as it was played instead of singing to a beat track , a standard filmmaking practice . Cimino felt that would make the sing - along seem more real . During the wedding ceremonies and party , the Eastern Orthodox Church songs such as `` Slava '' , and Russian folk songs such as `` Korobushka '' and `` Katyusha '' , are played . Russian Orthodox funeral music is also employed during Nick 's funeral scene , mainly `` Vechnaya Pamyat '' , which means `` eternal memory '' . Release ( edit ) The Deer Hunter debuted at one theater each in New York and Los Angeles for a week on December 8 , 1978 . The release strategy was to qualify the film for Oscar consideration and close after a week to build interest .", "17": "After the Oscar nominations , Universal widened the distribution to include major cities , building up to a full - scale release on February 23 , 1979 , just following the Oscars . This film was important for helping release patterns for so - called prestige pictures that screen only at the end of the year to qualify for Academy Award recognition . The film eventually grossed $48.9 million at the US box office . CBS paid $3.5 million for three runs of the film . The network later cancelled the acquisition on the contractually permitted grounds of the film containing too much violence for US network transmission . Analysis ( edit ) Controversy over Russian roulette ( edit ) Robert De Niro pulls the trigger in the game of Russian roulette that takes place in the Viet Cong prison scene . One of the most talked - about sequences in the film , the Vietcong 's use of Russian roulette with POWs , was criticized as being contrived and unrealistic since there were no documented cases of Russian roulette in the Vietnam War . Associated Press reporter Peter Arnett , who won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the war , wrote in the Los Angeles Times , `` In its 20 years of war , there was not a single recorded case of Russian roulette ... The central metaphor of the movie is simply a bloody lie . '' Director Cimino was also criticized for one - sidedly portraying all the North Vietnamese as sadistic racists and killers . Cimino countered that his film was not political , polemical , literally accurate , or posturing for any particular point of view . He further defended his position by saying that he had news clippings from Singapore that confirm Russian roulette was used during the war ( without specifying which article ) . During the 29th Berlin International Film Festival in 1979 , the Soviet delegation expressed its indignation with the film which , in their opinion , insulted the Vietnamese people in numerous scenes . Other socialist states also voiced their solidarity with the `` heroic people of Vietnam '' . They protested against the screening of the film and insisted that it violated the statutes of the festival , since it in no way contributed to the `` improvement of mutual understanding between the peoples of the world '' . The ensuing domino effect led to the walk - outs of the Cubans , East Germans , Bulgarians , Poles and Czechoslovakians , and two members of the jury resigned in sympathy .", "18": "Critics ' response ( edit ) In his review , Roger Ebert defended the artistic license of Russian roulette , arguing `` it is the organizing symbol of the film : Anything you can believe about the game , about its deliberately random violence , about how it touches the sanity of men forced to play it , will apply to the war as a whole . It is a brilliant symbol because , in the context of this story , it makes any ideological statement about the war superfluous . '' Film critic and biographer David Thomson also agrees that the film works despite the controversy : `` There were complaints that the North Vietnamese had not employed Russian roulette . It was said that the scenes in Saigon were fanciful or imagined . It was also suggested that De Niro , Christopher Walken , and John Savage were too old to have enlisted for Vietnam ( Savage , the youngest of the three , was 28 ) . Three decades later , ' imagination ' seems to have stilled those worries ... and The Deer Hunter is one of the great American films . '' In her review , Pauline Kael wrote , `` The Vietcong are treated in the standard inscrutable - evil Oriental style of the Japanese in the Second World War movies ... The impression a viewer gets is that if we did some bad things there we did them ruthlessly but impersonally ; the Vietcong were cruel and sadistic . '' In his Vanity Fair article `` The Vietnam Oscars '' , Peter Biskind wrote that the political agenda of The Deer Hunter was something of a mystery : `` It may have been more a by - product of Hollywood myopia , the demands of the war - film genre , garden - variety American parochialism , and simple ignorance than it was the pre-meditated right - wing road map it seemed to many . '' Cast and crew response ( edit ) According to Christopher Walken , the historical context was not paramount : `` In the making of it , I do n't remember anyone ever mentioning Vietnam ! '' De Niro added to this sentiment : `` Whether ( the film 's vision of the war ) actually happened or not , it 's something you could imagine very easily happening . Maybe it did . I do n't know . All 's fair in love and war . '' Producer Spikings , while proud of the film , regrets the way the Vietnamese were portrayed .", "19": "`` I do n't think any of us meant it to be exploitive , '' Spikings said . `` But I think we were ... ignorant . I ca n't think of a better word for it . I did n't realize how badly we 'd behaved to the Vietnamese people ... '' Producer Deeley , on the other hand , was quick to defend Cimino 's comments on the nature and motives of the film : `` The Deer Hunter was n't really ' about ' Vietnam . It was something very different . It was n't about drugs or the collapse of the morale of the soldiers . It was about how individuals respond to pressure : different men reacting quite differently . The film was about three steel workers in extraordinary circumstances . Apocalypse Now is surreal . The Deer Hunter is a parable ... Men who fight and lose an unworthy war face some obvious and unpalatable choices . They can blame their leaders ... or they can blame themselves . Self - blame has been a great burden for many war veterans . So how does a soldier come to terms with his defeat and yet still retain his self - respect ? One way is to present the conquering enemy as so inhuman , and the battle between the good guys ( us ) and the bad guys ( them ) so uneven , as to render defeat irrelevant . Inhumanity was the theme of The Deer Hunter 's portrayal of the North Vietnamese prison guards forcing American POWs to play Russian roulette . The audience 's sympathy with prisoners who ( quite understandably ) cracked thus completes the chain . Accordingly , some veterans who suffered in that war found the Russian roulette a valid allegory . '' Director Cimino 's autobiographical intent ( edit ) Cimino frequently referred to The Deer Hunter as a `` personal '' and `` autobiographical '' film , although later investigation by journalists like Tom Buckley of Harper 's revealed inaccuracies in Cimino 's accounts and reported background . Homosocial bonding ( edit ) In 1986 , critic Robin Wood examined what he viewed as the film 's homosexual subtext . In the film 's central `` male love affair '' Mike supposedly represents the powers of control and repression , whereas Nick stands for release and liberation .", "20": "According to Wood , `` Nick both is and knows himself to be in love with Mike and Mike reciprocates that love but ca n't admit it , even to himself '' . In the end , Wood argues that Nick shoots himself because `` he has recognized that Mike offers nothing but a return to repression '' . Coda of `` God Bless America '' ( edit ) The final scene in which all the main characters gather and sing `` God Bless America '' became a subject of heated debate among critics when the film was released . It raised the question of whether this conclusion was meant ironically or not -- `` as a critique of patriotism or a paean to it '' . Reception ( edit ) The film 's initial reviews were largely positive . It was hailed by many critics as the best American epic since Francis Ford Coppola 's The Godfather . The film was praised for its depiction of realistic working class settings and environment ; Cimino 's direction ; the performances of De Niro , Walken , Streep , Savage , Dzundza and Cazale ; the symphonic shifts of tone and pacing in moving from America to Vietnam ; the tension during the Russian roulette scenes ; and the themes of American disillusionment . Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times gave the film four stars and called it `` one of the most emotionally shattering films ever made . '' Gene Siskel from the Chicago Tribune praised the film , saying , `` This is a big film , dealing with big issues , made on a grand scale . Much of it , including some casting decisions , suggest inspiration by The Godfather . '' Leonard Maltin also gave the film four stars , calling it a `` sensitive , painful , evocative work '' . Vincent Canby of the New York Times called The Deer Hunter `` a big , awkward , crazily ambitious motion picture that comes as close to being a popular epic as any movie about this country since The Godfather . Its vision is that of an original , major new filmmaker . '' David Denby of New York called it `` an epic '' with `` qualities that we almost never see any more -- range and power and breadth of experience . '' Jack Kroll of Time asserted it put director Cimino `` right at the center of film culture . ''", "21": "Stephen Farber pronounced the film in New West magazine as `` the greatest anti-war movie since La Grande Illusion . '' However , The Deer Hunter was not without critical backlash . Pauline Kael of The New Yorker wrote a positive review with some reservations : `` ( It is ) a small minded film with greatness in it ... with an enraptured view of common life ... ( but ) enraging , because , despite its ambitiousness and scale , it has no more moral intelligence than the Eastwood action pictures . '' Andrew Sarris wrote that the film was `` massively vague , tediously elliptical , and mysteriously hysterical ... It is perhaps significant that the actors remain more interesting than the characters they play . '' Jonathan Rosenbaum disparaged The Deer Hunter as an `` Oscar - laden weepie about macho buddies '' and `` a disgusting account of what the evil Vietnamese did to poor , innocent Americans '' . John Simon of New York wrote : `` For all its pretensions to something newer and better , this film is only an extension of the old Hollywood war - movie lie . The enemy is still bestial and stupid , and no match for our purity and heroism ; only we no longer wipe up the floor with him -- rather , we litter it with his guts . '' Author Karina Longworth notes that Streep `` made a case for female empowerment by playing a woman to whom empowerment was a foreign concept -- a normal lady from an average American small town , for whom subservience was the only thing she knew '' . She states that The Deer Hunter `` evokes a version of dominant masculinity in which male friendship is a powerful force '' . It has a `` credibly humanist message '' , and that the `` slow study of the men in blissfully ignorant homeland machismo is crucial to it '' . The film holds a metascore of 73 on Metacritic , based on seven reviews , and 93 % fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes , based on 48 reviews . The RT summary reads : Its greatness is blunted by its length and one - sided point of view , but the film 's weaknesses are overpowered by Michael Cimino 's sympathetic direction and a series of heartbreaking performances from Robert De Niro , Meryl Streep , and Christopher Walken . Top - Ten Lists ( edit ) 3rd -- Roger Ebert , Chicago Sun - Times .", "22": "Ebert also placed Deer Hunter on his list of the best films of the 1970s . 3rd -- Gene Siskel , Chicago Tribune Academy Award - winning film director Miloš Forman and Academy Award - nominated actor Mickey Rourke consider The Deer Hunter to be one of the greatest films of all time . Revisionism following Heaven 's Gate ( edit ) Cimino 's next film , Heaven 's Gate ( 1980 ) , debuted to lacerating reviews and took in only $3 million in ticket sales , effectively leaving United Artists bankrupt . The failure of Heaven 's Gate led several critics to revise their positions on The Deer Hunter . Canby said in his famous review of Heaven 's Gate , `` ( The film ) fails so completely that you might suspect Mr. Cimino sold his soul to the Devil to obtain the success of The Deer Hunter , and the Devil has just come around to collect . '' Andrew Sarris wrote in his review of Heaven 's Gate , `` I 'm a little surprised that many of the same critics who lionized Cimino for The Deer Hunter have now thrown him to the wolves with equal enthusiasm . '' Sarris added , `` I was never taken in ... Hence , the stupidity and incoherence in Heaven 's Gate came as no surprise since very much the same stupidity and incoherence had been amply evident in The Deer Hunter . '' In his book Final Cut : Dreams and Disaster in the Making of Heaven 's Gate , Steven Bach wrote , `` critics seemed to feel obliged to go on the record about The Deer Hunter , to demonstrate that their critical credentials were un-besmirched by having been , as Sarris put it , ' taken in . ' '' More recently , British film critic Mark Kermode challenged the film 's status : `` At the risk of being thrown out of the ' respectable film critics ' circle , may I take this opportunity to declare officially that in my opinion The Deer Hunter is one of the worst films ever made , a rambling self indulgent , self aggrandizing barf-fest steeped in manipulatively racist emotion , and notable primarily for its farcically melodramatic tone which is pitched somewhere between shrieking hysteria and somnambulist sombreness . '' However , many critics , including David Thomson and A.O. Scott.", "23": ", maintain that The Deer Hunter is still a great film , the power of which has n't since diminished .

Best Director , Michael Cimino BAFTA Awards record 1 . Best Cinematography , Vilmos Zsigmond 2 . Best Editing , Peter Zinner Lead - up to Awards season ( edit ) Film producer and `` old - fashioned mogul '' Allan Carr used his networking abilities to promote The Deer Hunter . `` Exactly how Allan Carr came into The Deer Hunter 's orbit I can no longer remember , '' recalled producer Deeley , `` but the picture became a crusade to him . He nagged , charmed , threw parties , he created word - of - mouth -- everything that could be done in Hollywood to promote a project . Because he had no apparent motive for this promotion , it had an added power and legitimacy and it finally did start to penetrate the minds of the Universal 's sales people that they actually had in their hands something a bit more significant than the usual . '' Deeley added that Carr 's promotion of the film was influential in positioning The Deer Hunter for Oscar nominations . On the Sneak Previews special `` Oscar Preview for 1978 '' , Roger Ebert correctly predicted that The Deer Hunter would win for Best Picture while Gene Siskel predicted that Coming Home would win . However , Ebert incorrectly guessed that Robert De Niro would win for Best Actor for Deer Hunter and Jill Clayburgh would win for Best Actress for An Unmarried Woman while Siskel called the wins for Jon Voight as Best Actor and Jane Fonda as Best Actress , both for Coming Home . Both Ebert and Siskel called the win for Christopher Walken receiving the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor .", "24": "According to producer Deeley , orchestrated lobbying against The Deer Hunter was led by Warren Beatty , whose own picture Heaven Can Wait had multiple nominations . Beatty also used ex-girlfriends in his campaign : Julie Christie , serving on the jury at the Berlin Film Festival where Deer Hunter was screened , joined the walkout of the film by the Russian jury members . Jane Fonda also criticized The Deer Hunter in public . Deeley suggested that her criticisms partly stemmed from the competition between her film Coming Home vying with The Deer Hunter for Best Picture . According to Deeley , he planted a friend of his in the Oscar press area behind the stage to ask Fonda if she had seen The Deer Hunter . Fonda replied she had not seen the film , and to this day she still has not . As the Oscars drew near , the backlash against The Deer Hunter gathered strength . When the limos pulled up to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on April 9 , 1979 , they were met by demonstrators , mostly from the Los Angeles chapter of Vietnam Veterans Against the War . The demonstrators waved placards covered with slogans that read `` No Oscars for racism '' and `` The Deer Hunter a bloody lie '' and thrust pamphlets berating Deer Hunter into long lines of limousine windows . Washburn , nominated for Best Original Screenplay , claims his limousine was pelted with stones . According to Variety , `` Police and The Deer Hunter protesters clashed in a brief but bloody battle that resulted in 13 arrests . '' De Niro was so anxious that he did not attend the Oscars ceremony . He asked the Academy to sit out the show backstage , but when the Academy refused , De Niro stayed home in New York . Producer Deeley made a deal with fellow producer David Puttnam , whose film Midnight Express was nominated , that each would take $500 to the ceremony so if one of them won , the winner would give the loser the $500 to `` drown his sorrows in style . ''", "25": "51st Academy Awards ( edit ) The Deer Hunter won five Oscars at the 51st Academy Awards in 1979 : Best Picture -- Barry Spikings , Michael Deeley , Michael Cimino and John Peverall ( John Wayne 's final public appearance was to present the award ) Best Director -- Michael Cimino Best Actor in a Supporting Role -- Christopher Walken Best Film Editing -- Peter Zinner Best Sound -- Richard Portman , William McCaughey , Aaron Rochin and Darin Knight .

Redeker Nominated Legacy ( edit ) The Deer Hunter was one of the first , and most controversial , major theatrical films to be critical of the American involvement in Vietnam following 1975 when the war officially ended . While the film opened the same year as Hal Ashby 's Coming Home , Sidney Furie 's The Boys in Company C , and Ted Post 's Go Tell the Spartans , it was the first film about Vietnam to reach a wide audience and critical acclaim , culminating in the winning of the Oscar for Best Picture .", "28": "Other films released in later decades that illustrated the ' hellish ' , futile conditions of bloody Vietnam War combat included : Francis Ford Coppola 's Apocalypse Now ( 1979 ) Oliver Stone 's Platoon ( 1986 ) Stanley Kubrick 's Full Metal Jacket ( 1987 ) John Irvin 's Hamburger Hill ( 1987 ) Oliver Stone 's Born on the Fourth of July ( 1989 ) David Thomson wrote in an article titled `` The Deer Hunter : Story of a scene '' that the film changed the way war - time battles were portrayed on film : `` The terror and the blast of firepower changed the war film , even if it only used a revolver . More or less before the late 1970s , the movies had lived by a Second World War code in which battle scenes might be fierce but always rigorously controlled . The Deer Hunter unleashed a new , raw dynamic in combat and action , paving the way for Platoon , Saving Private Ryan and Clint Eastwood 's Iwo Jima films . '' In a 2011 interview with Rotten Tomatoes , actor William Fichtner retrospectively stated that he and his partner were silenced after seeing the film , stating that `` the human experience was just so pointed ; their journeys were so difficult , as life is sometimes . I remember after seeing it , walking down the street -- I actually went with a girl on a date and saw The Deer Hunter , and we left the theater and walked for like an hour and nobody said anything ; we were just kind of stunned about that . '' The deaths of approximately twenty - five people who died playing Russian roulette were reported as having been influenced by scenes in the movie . Honors and recognition ( edit ) In 1996 , The Deer Hunter was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' . American Film Institute included the film as # 79 in AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Movies , # 30 in AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Thrills , and # 53 in AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Movies ( 10th Anniversary Edition ) .", "29": "The film ranks 467th in the Empire magazine 's 2008 list of the 500 greatest movies of all time , noting : Cimino 's bold , powerful ' Nam epic goes from blue - collar macho rituals to a fiery , South East Asian hell and back to a ragged singalong of America the Beautiful ( sic ) . De Niro holds it together , but Christopher Walken , Meryl Streep and John Savage are unforgettable . Jan Scruggs , a Vietnam veteran who became a counselor with the U.S. Department of Labor , thought of the idea of building a National Memorial for Vietnam Veterans after seeing a screening of the film in March 1979 , and he established and operated the memorial fund which paid for it . Director Cimino was invited to the memorial 's opening . Home media ( edit ) The Deer Hunter has twice been released on DVD in America . The first 1998 issue was by Universal , with no extra features and a non-anamorphic transfer , and has since been discontinued . A second version , part of the `` Legacy Series '' , was released as a two - disc set on September 6 , 2005 , with an anamorphic transfer of the film . The set features a cinematographer 's commentary by Vilmos Zsigmond , deleted and extended scenes , and production notes . The Region 2 version of The Deer Hunter , released in the UK and Japan , features a commentary track from director Michael Cimino . The film was released on HD DVD on December 26 , 2006 . StudioCanal released the film on the Blu - ray format in countries other than the United States on March 11 , 2009 . It was released on Blu - ray in the U.S. on March 6 , 2012 .

Corculum leptopus Stuntz Antigonon leptopus , commonly known as Mexican creeper , coral vine , bee bush ( in most Caribbean islands ) or San Miguelito vine , is a species of flowering plant in the buckwheat family , Polygonaceae . It is a perennial that is native to Mexico . It is a vine with pink or white flowers ( Antigonon leptopus ' alba ' ) . Contents ( hide ) 1 Invasive species 2 Description 3 Uses 4 References 5 External links Invasive species ( edit ) It is listed as a category II invasive exotic by the Florida 's pest plant council . Description ( edit ) Habit Antigonon leptopus is a fast - growing climbing vine that holds via tendrils , and is able to reach 25 ft or more in length . It has cordate ( heart shaped ) , sometimes triangular leaves 21⁄2 to 71⁄2 cm long the flowers are borne in panicles , clusted along the rachis producing pink or white flowers from spring to autumn , it forms underground tubers and large rootstocks , it is a prolific seed producer , the seeds float on water , the fruit and seeds are eaten and spread by a wide range of animals such as pigs , raccoons and birds . The tubers will resprout if it is cut back or damaged by frost .", "1": "A white colored form Uses ( edit ) Antigonon leptopus was prepared for consumption by the aboriginal inhabitants of Baja California in a way reminiscent of popcorn . The seeds were toasted by placing them in a flat basket made of flexible twigs torn into several strips and woven to make a solid surface . On top of the seeds they would put live coals , and with both hands they would shake the basket so that the coals come up against the seeds , toasting them but not burning the basket . When the toasting is finished the burned out coals are removed and a major portion of the seeds are burst open exposing a white meal . Afterwards the seeds are separated from the husks from which they have come by dextrously tossing them into the air with the basket , just as wheat is winnowed in Spain . Thus cleaned they would grind and eat the prepared meal . They would also boil it and make fried cakes . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Taxon : Antigonon leptopus Hook . & Arn '' .

These are also known locally as South Branch , North Branch , and Middle Branch . The South Branch is the main stem Thames River and officially carries the Thames River name . The Thames River and North Thames River on the upper part of the watershed flow through valleys created during the retreat of the glaciers during the last ice age . The Thames River and North Thames River meet in central London at the `` Forks '' ; the University of Western Ontario is located north of the Forks on the North Thames River . The Middle Thames River runs north of the Thames River joining it west of Ingersoll .

The lower Thames River flows through Delaware , Chatham , Thamesville , as well as Chippewa and Oneida First Nations settlements . Tributaries of the Thames include the Avon River , Dingman Creek , Jeanettes Creek , McGregor Creek , Medway Creek , Pottersburg Creek , Stoney Creek , Trout Creek and Waubuno Creek . Three separate dams are used to control seasonal flooding in the watershed : Wildwood Dam , located on Trout Creek which flows into the North Thames River ; Pittock Dam , located on the Thames River near Woodstock ; and the Fanshawe Dam located on the North Thames River in the northeasterly area of London .", "2": "History ( edit ) The river was the location of an important battle of the War of 1812 . The Battle of the Thames ( also known as the Battle of Moraviantown ) was fought on October 5 , 1813 , between American General William Henry Harrison and British General Henry Proctor , along with Proctor 's ally Tecumseh . Chief Tecumseh was killed in the battle . On May 25 , 1881 , the river steamer ' Victoria ' capsized and sank killing 182 passengers . After the disaster all ferries could only carry their maximum capacity . In the early morning hours of July 11 , 1883 , London flooded from heavy rainfall . The ferry `` Princess Louise '' was forced over Waterworks Dam and capsized killing 7 . On August 25 , 1899 , the propeller - boat `` Thames '' was set on fire and eventually sunk only feet from Waterworks Dam . On April 27 , 1937 , the Thames River reached an all - time high of 21.5 feet ( 6.6 m ) above normal flow resulting in 5 deaths and over 1000 homes being damaged . On August 13 , 1950 , a launch ( boat ) capsized and killed four passengers . On August 14 , 2000 , the Thames River was designated a Canadian Heritage River .

Because the usual James Bond composer John Barry ( who had scored almost every film from From Russia with Love onwards ) was not available at the time as he was undergoing throat surgery , the soundtrack 's more upbeat and suspenseful score was composed and conducted by Michael Kamen . Initially Eric Clapton and Vic Flick were asked to write and perform the theme song to Licence to Kill . The theme was said to have been a new version based on the James Bond Theme . The guitar riff heard in the original recording of the theme was played by Flick . The prospect , however , fell apart and Gladys Knight 's song and performance was chosen , later becoming a Top 10 hit in the United Kingdom . The song was composed by Narada Michael Walden , Jeffrey Cohen and Walter Afanasieff , based on the `` horn line '' from Goldfinger , which required royalty payments to the original writers . At five - minutes twelve seconds it is the longest Bond theme . The music video of `` Licence to Kill '' was directed by Daniel Kleinman , who later took over the reins of title designer from Maurice Binder for the 1995 Bond film , GoldenEye . All the instrumental tracks are amalgams of various sequences and musical cues from the film rather than straight score excerpts .", "1": "The end credits of the film feature the song `` If You Asked Me To '' sung by Patti LaBelle . Though the song was a top ten R&B charter and a minor pop hit for LaBelle , in 1992 , the song was covered by and became a much bigger hit for singer Céline Dion . The track `` Wedding Party '' , used during the wedding of Felix Leiter to Della Churchill , makes reference to the track `` Jump Up '' from the first Bond film , Dr. No .

what is the spelling of lakh in english
[ "lakh", "lakh" ]
{ "0": "Lakh - wikipedia Lakh Jump to : navigation , search A lakh ( / læk , lɑːk / ; abbreviated L ; sometimes written Lac or Lacs ) is a unit in the Indian numbering system equal to one hundred thousand ( 100,000 ; scientific notation : 10 ) . In the Indian convention of digit grouping , it is written as 1 , 00,000 . For example , in India 150,000 rupees becomes 1.5 lakh rupees , written as ₹ 1 , 50,000 or INR 1 , 50,000 . It is widely used both in official and other contexts in Bangladesh , Bhutan , India , Myanmar , Nepal , Pakistan , and Sri Lanka . It is often used in Indian , Pakistani , and Sri Lankan English . In Pakistan , the word lakh is used mostly in local languages rather than in English media . Contents ( hide ) 1 Usage 1.1 Money 1.2 Silver market 2 Etymology and regional variants 2.1 South Asian languages 3 See also 4 References 5 External links Usage ( edit ) In Indian English , the word is used both as an attributive and non-attributive noun , and with either a marked ( `` - s '' ) or unmarked plural , as in : `` 1 lakh people '' or `` 1 lakh of people '' ; `` 200 lakh rupees '' ; `` 5 lakh of rupees '' ; `` rupees 10 lakhs '' ; or `` 5 lakhs of rupees '' . In the abbreviated form , usage such as `` ₹ ‍5L '' ( for `` rupees 5 lakhs '' ) is common . In this system of numeration 100 lakh is called one crore and is equal to 10 million . Money ( edit ) In colloquial Urdu , especially in the city of Karachi , the word peti ( `` suitcase '' ) is also used to denote one lakh rupees . This originated during the General Zia era , when the largest denomination of currency was the 100 rupee note , and one lakh rupees would fill a small suitcase ( peti as in Bombay Hindi ) . Hence , even after the Zia era , one peti has continued to mean one lakh rupees .", "1": "The word lakhi is commonly used throughout Tanzania to denote 100,000 shillings and is likely to have entered the Swahili language from Indian and Pakistani immigrants . Silver market ( edit ) The term is also used in the pricing of silver on the international precious metals market , where one lakh equals 100,000 troy ounces ( 3,100 kilograms ) of silver . Etymology and regional variants ( edit ) The root of the word lakh might be the Pali lakkha ( masculine noun , `` mark , target , stake in gambling '' ) , from which the numerical meaning , `` one hundred thousand '' is derived . Another possible root could be the Sanskrit laksha ( Devanagari : लक्ष lakṣa ) , which has similar meanings in that language . South asian languages ( edit ) Assamese : লাখ lakh Bengali : লাখ lakh or লক্ষ lokkho Dhivehi : ލައްކަ lakka Gujarati : લાખ lākh Hindi : लाख lākh Bombay Hindi : पेटी peṭi ( Peṭi refers to a briefcase .

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( April 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Two false starts occurred before the race could get underway , the first caused by several horses running off too keenly and the second by The Young Master and Raz de Maree jumping the gun from a standing start . When the race eventually began properly , the 50 / 1 outsider Roi Des Francs led the field on the first circuit with Rogue Angel and Highland Lodge also prominent . The 10 / 1 second - favourite Definitly Red was pulled up at Valentine 's , whilst Saphir Du Rheu fell at the 11th . As the horses rounded the turn to begin the second circuit , Roi Des Francs was carried out by a loose horse and rejoined the field in mid-division , leaving Rogue Angel as the new leader . Saint Are , Blaklion and Vieux Lion Rouge remained close behind the leaders .", "6": "With five fences remaining , the 8 / 1 favourite Blaklion moved up to challenge Rogue Angel for the lead , with Saint Are going third and Cause of Causes coming into contention . With two fences left to jump , Blaklion raced into a three - length lead over Rogue Angel , as Vieux Lion Rouge advanced into third and One For Arthur made significant progress through the field . At the second - last , One For Arthur jumped into the back of the leader Blaklion , with Cause of Causes and Gas Line Boy moving up to contest first place . The four were all stride - for - stride as they took the last fence , but One For Arthur jumped into the lead and accelerated to go three lengths clear at the elbow , increasing that advantage in the final furlong as he crossed the finish line four - and - a-half lengths ahead of Cause of Causes in second , with three - and - a-half lengths back to Saint Are who ran on well to clinch third by half - a-length from Blaklion . There were no fatalities and all 40 runners returned safely to the stables .

As the Grand National is accorded the status of an event of national interest in the United Kingdom and is listed on the Ofcom Code on Sports and Other Listed and Designated Events , it must be shown on free - to - air terrestrial television in the UK . The race was broadcast live on TV by ITV . This was the first year that ITV broadcast the race live , following the decision by Channel 4 to drop the event and horse racing in general in 2016 . The coverage was led by Ed Chamberlin . Retired champion jockey Sir Anthony McCoy and Mick Fitzgerald provided expert opinions throughout the coverage , with reports from Brough Scott , Luke Harvey , Oli Bell and Alice Plunkett and betting updates by Matt Chapman . The commentary team was Mark Johnson , Ian Bartlett and Richard Hoiles , who called the winner home for the first time in his terrestrial television commentary career .", "10": "See also ( edit ) Horseracing in Great Britain List of British National Hunt races References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : `` Don Poli heads bumper 110 entries for the 2017 Randox Health Grand National '' .

Bush ( CVN - 77 ) The Gulf War ( 2 August 1990 -- 28 February 1991 ) , codenamed Operation Desert Shield ( 2 August 1990 -- 17 January 1991 ) for operations leading to the buildup of troops and defense of Saudi Arabia and Operation Desert Storm ( 17 January 1991 -- 28 February 1991 ) in its combat phase , was a war waged by coalition forces from 35 nations led by the United States against Iraq in response to Iraq 's invasion and annexation of Kuwait . The war is also known under other names , such as the Persian Gulf War , First Gulf War , Gulf War I , Kuwait War , First Iraq War or Iraq War , before the term `` Iraq War '' became identified instead with the 2003 Iraq War ( also referred to in the US as `` Operation Iraqi Freedom '' ) . The Iraqi Army 's occupation of Kuwait that began 2 August 1990 was met with international condemnation and brought immediate economic sanctions against Iraq by members of the UN Security Council . Together with the UK 's prime minister Margaret Thatcher ( who had fiercely resisted the invasion by Argentina of the Falkland Islands a decade earlier ) , George H.W. Bush deployed US forces into Saudi Arabia , and urged other countries to send their own forces to the scene .", "5": "An array of nations joined the coalition , forming the largest military alliance since World War II . The great majority of the coalition 's military forces were from the US , with Saudi Arabia , the United Kingdom and Egypt as leading contributors , in that order . Kuwait and Saudi Arabia paid around US $32 billion of the US $60 billion cost . The war was marked by the introduction of live news broadcasts from the front lines of the battle , principally by the US network CNN . The war has also earned the nickname Video Game War after the daily broadcast of images from cameras on board US bombers during Operation Desert Storm . The initial conflict to expel Iraqi troops from Kuwait began with an aerial and naval bombardment on 17 January 1991 , continuing for five weeks . This was followed by a ground assault on 24 February . This was a decisive victory for the coalition forces , who liberated Kuwait and advanced into Iraqi territory . The coalition ceased its advance , and declared a ceasefire 100 hours after the ground campaign started . Aerial and ground combat was confined to Iraq , Kuwait , and areas on Saudi Arabia 's border . Iraq launched Scud missiles against coalition military targets in Saudi Arabia and against Israel .

A problem with these terms is that the usage is ambiguous , having now been applied to at least three conflicts : see Gulf War ( disambiguation ) . The use of the term Persian Gulf ( as opposed to Arabian Gulf ) is also disputed : see Persian Gulf naming dispute . With no consensus of naming , various publications have attempted to refine the name . Some variants include : Gulf War ( e.g.", "7": "The Gulf War , BBC television series , 2005 ; Modern Conflicts : The Gulf War , Discovery Channel DVD set , 2010 ) Persian Gulf War ( e.g. Encyclopedia of the Persian Gulf War , Mark Grossman , 1995 ; An Operational Analysis of the Persian Gulf War , US Army War College , 2016 ) Gulf War ( 1990 -- 1991 ) ( e.g. The Gulf War 1991 ( Essential Histories ) , Alastair Finlan , 2003 ; Gulf War , 1990 -- 91 , William Thomas Allison , 2012 ) First Gulf War ( to distinguish it from the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the subsequent Iraq War ) ( e.g. Gulf War One : Real Voices from the Front Line , Hugh McManners , 2010 ) Second Gulf War ( to distinguish it from the Iran -- Iraq War ) ( e.g. Iraq and the Second Gulf War : State Building and Regime Security , Mohammad - Mahmoud Mohamedou , 1997 ) Liberation of Kuwait ( Arabic : تحرير الكويت ‎ ) ( taḥrīr al - kuwayt ) is the term used by Kuwait and most of the coalition 's Arab states , including Saudi Arabia , Bahrain , Egypt , and the United Arab Emirates . Other language terms include French : la Guerre du Golfe and German : Golfkrieg ( Gulf War ) ; German : Zweiter Golfkrieg ( Second Gulf War ) ; French : Guerre du Koweït ( War of Kuwait ) The mother of all battles ( Arabic : أم المعارك ‎ ) ( umm al - ma'ārik ) is a term derived from Saddam Hussein ( e.g. The Mother of All Battles : Saddam Hussein 's Strategic Plan for the Persian Gulf War , Kevin M. Woods , 2008 ) . Operational names Most of the coalition states used various names for their operations and the war 's operational phases . These are sometimes incorrectly used as the conflict 's overall name , especially the US Desert Storm : Operation Desert Shield was the US operational name for the US buildup of forces and Saudi Arabia 's defense from 2 August 1990 , to 16 January 1991 .", "8": "Operation Desert Storm was the US name of the airland conflict from 17 January 1991 , through 11 April 1991 . Operation Desert Sabre ( early name Operation Desert Sword ) was the US name for the airland offensive against the Iraqi Army in the Kuwaiti Theater of Operations ( the `` 100 - hour war '' ) from 24 -- 28 February 1991 , in itself , part of Operation Desert Storm . Operation Desert Farewell was the name given to the return of US units and equipment to the US in 1991 after Kuwait 's liberation , sometimes referred to as Operation Desert Calm . Operation Granby was the British name for British military activities during the operations and conflict . Opération Daguet was the French name for French military activities in the conflict . Operation Friction was the name of the Canadian operations Operazione Locusta ( Italian for Locust ) was the Italian name for the operations and conflict . Campaign names The US divided the conflict into three major campaigns : Defense of Saudi Arabian country for the period 2 August 1990 , through 16 January 1991 . Liberation and Defense of Kuwait for the period 17 January 1991 , through 11 April 1991 . Southwest Asia Cease - Fire for the period 12 April 1991 , through 30 November 1995 , including Operation Provide Comfort . Background See also : Iraq -- United States relations Throughout the Cold War , Iraq had been an ally of the Soviet Union , and there was a history of friction between it and the United States . The US was concerned with Iraq 's position on Israeli -- Palestinian politics . The US also disliked Iraqi support for many Arab and Palestinian militant groups such as Abu Nidal , which led to Iraq 's inclusion on the developing US list of State Sponsors of Terrorism on 29 December 1979 . The US remained officially neutral after Iraq 's invasion of Iran in 1980 , which became the Iran -- Iraq War , although it provided resources , political support , and some `` non-military '' aircraft to Iraq . In March 1982 , Iran began a successful counteroffensive ( Operation Undeniable Victory ) , and the US increased its support for Iraq to prevent Iran from forcing a surrender .", "9": "In a US bid to open full diplomatic relations with Iraq , the country was removed from the US list of State Sponsors of Terrorism . Ostensibly , this was because of improvement in the regime 's record , although former US Assistant Defense Secretary Noel Koch later stated : `` No one had any doubts about ( the Iraqis ' ) continued involvement in terrorism ... The real reason was to help them succeed in the war against Iran . '' With Iraq 's newfound success in the war , and the Iranian rebuff of a peace offer in July , arms sales to Iraq reached a record spike in 1982 . When Iraqi President Saddam Hussein expelled Abu Nidal to Syria at the US 's request in November 1983 , the Reagan administration sent Donald Rumsfeld to meet Saddam as a special envoy and to cultivate ties . By the time the ceasefire with Iran was signed in August 1988 , Iraq was heavily debt - ridden and tensions within society were rising . Most of its debt was owed to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait . Iraq pressured both nations to forgive the debts , but they refused . Map of Kuwait The Iraq -- Kuwait dispute also involved Iraqi claims to Kuwait as Iraqi territory . Kuwait had been a part of the Ottoman Empire 's province of Basra , something that Iraq claimed made it rightful Iraqi territory . Its ruling dynasty , the al - Sabah family , had concluded a protectorate agreement in 1899 that assigned responsibility for its foreign affairs to the United Kingdom . The UK drew the border between the two countries in 1922 , making Iraq virtually landlocked . Kuwait rejected Iraqi attempts to secure further provisions in the region . Iraq also accused Kuwait of exceeding its OPEC quotas for oil production . In order for the cartel to maintain its desired price of $18 a barrel , discipline was required . The United Arab Emirates and Kuwait were consistently overproducing ; the latter at least in part to repair losses caused by Iranian attacks in the Iran -- Iraq War and to pay for the losses of an economic scandal . The result was a slump in the oil price -- as low as $10 a barrel -- with a resulting loss of $7 billion a year to Iraq , equal to its 1989 balance of payments deficit . Resulting revenues struggled to support the government 's basic costs , let alone repair Iraq 's damaged infrastructure .", "10": "Jordan and Iraq both looked for more discipline , with little success . The Iraqi government described it as a form of economic warfare , which it claimed was aggravated by Kuwait slant - drilling across the border into Iraq 's Rumaila oil field . At the same time , Saddam looked for closer ties with those Arab states that had supported Iraq in the war . This was supported by the US , who believed that Iraqi ties with pro-Western Gulf states would help bring and maintain Iraq inside the US ' sphere of influence . In 1989 , it appeared that Saudi -- Iraqi relations , strong during the war , would be maintained . A pact of non-interference and non-aggression was signed between the countries , followed by a Kuwaiti - Iraqi deal for Iraq to supply Kuwait with water for drinking and irrigation , although a request for Kuwait to lease Iraq Umm Qasr was rejected . Saudi - backed development projects were hampered by Iraq 's large debts , even with the demobilization of 200,000 soldiers . Iraq also looked to increase arms production so as to become an exporter , although the success of these projects was also restrained by Iraq 's obligations ; in Iraq , resentment to OPEC 's controls mounted . Donald Rumsfeld as US special envoy to the Middle East , meets Saddam Hussein on 19 -- 20 December 1983 . Iraq 's relations with its Arab neighbors -- in particular Egypt -- were degraded by mounting violence in Iraq against expatriate groups , well - employed during the war , by Iraqi unemployed , among them demobilized soldiers . These events drew little notice outside the Arab world because of fast - moving events directly related to the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe . However , the US did begin to condemn Iraq 's human rights record , including the well - known use of torture . The UK also condemned the execution of Farzad Bazoft , a journalist working for the British newspaper The Observer . Following Saddam 's declaration that `` binary chemical weapons '' would be used on Israel if it used military force against Iraq , Washington halted part of its funding . A UN mission to the Israeli - occupied territories , where riots had resulted in Palestinian deaths , was vetoed by the US , making Iraq deeply skeptical of US foreign policy aims in the region , combined with the US ' reliance on Middle Eastern energy reserves .", "11": "In early July 1990 , Iraq complained about Kuwait 's behavior , such as not respecting their quota , and openly threatened to take military action . On the 23rd , the CIA reported that Iraq had moved 30,000 troops to the Iraq - Kuwait border , and the US naval fleet in the Persian Gulf was placed on alert . Saddam believed an anti-Iraq conspiracy was developing -- Kuwait had begun talks with Iran , and Iraq 's rival Syria had arranged a visit to Egypt . Upon review by the Secretary of Defense , it was found that Syria indeed planned a strike against Iraq in the coming days . Saddam immediately used funding to incorporate central intelligence into Syria and ultimately prevented the impending air strike . On 15 July 1990 , Saddam 's government laid out its combined objections to the Arab League , including that policy moves were costing Iraq $1 billion a year , that Kuwait was still using the Rumaila oil field , that loans made by the UAE and Kuwait could not be considered debts to its `` Arab brothers '' . He threatened force against Kuwait and the UAE , saying : `` The policies of some Arab rulers are American ... They are inspired by America to undermine Arab interests and security . '' The US sent aerial refuelling planes and combat ships to the Persian Gulf in response to these threats . Discussions in Jeddah , Saudi Arabia , mediated on the Arab League 's behalf by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak , were held on 31 July and led Mubarak to believe that a peaceful course could be established . On the 25th , Saddam met with April Glaspie , the US Ambassador to Iraq , in Baghdad . The Iraqi leader attacked American policy with regards to Kuwait and the UAE : So what can it mean when America says it will now protect its friends ? It can only mean prejudice against Iraq . This stance plus maneuvers and statements which have been made has encouraged the UAE and Kuwait to disregard Iraqi rights ... If you use pressure , we will deploy pressure and force . We know that you can harm us although we do not threaten you . But we too can harm you . Everyone can cause harm according to their ability and their size . We can not come all the way to you in the United States , but individual Arabs may reach you ... We do not place America among the enemies .", "12": "We place it where we want our friends to be and we try to be friends . But repeated American statements last year made it apparent that America did not regard us as friends . Glaspie replied : I know you need funds . We understand that and our opinion is that you should have the opportunity to rebuild your country . But we have no opinion on the Arab - Arab conflicts , like your border disagreement with Kuwait ... Frankly , we can only see that you have deployed massive troops in the south . Normally that would not be any of our business . But when this happens in the context of what you said on your national day , then when we read the details in the two letters of the Foreign Minister , then when we see the Iraqi point of view that the measures taken by the UAE and Kuwait is , in the final analysis , parallel to military aggression against Iraq , then it would be reasonable for me to be concerned . Saddam stated that he would attempt last - ditch negotiations with the Kuwaitis but Iraq `` would not accept death '' . According to Glaspie 's own account , she stated in reference to the precise border between Kuwait and Iraq , `` ... that she had served in Kuwait 20 years before ; ' then , as now , we took no position on these Arab affairs ' . '' Glaspie similarly believed that war was not imminent . Invasion of Kuwait Main article : Invasion of Kuwait Main article : Timeline of Gulf War Kuwaiti Armed Forces M - 84 main battle tanks Kuwait Air Force McDonnell Douglas A-4KU Skyhawk ground - attack aircraft The result of the Jeddah talks was an Iraqi demand for $10 billion to cover the lost revenues from Rumaila ; Kuwait offered $9 billion . The Iraqi response was to immediately order the invasion , which started on 2 August 1990 with the bombing of Kuwait 's capital , Kuwait City . At the time of the invasion , the Kuwaiti military was believed to have numbered 16,000 men , arranged into three armored , one mechanised infantry and one under - strength artillery brigade . The pre-war strength of the Kuwait Air Force was around 2,200 Kuwaiti personnel , with 80 fixed - wing aircraft and 40 helicopters .", "13": "In spite of Iraqi saber rattling , Kuwait did not mobilize its force ; the army had been stood down on 19 July , and at the time of the Iraqi invasion many Kuwaiti military personnel were on leave . By 1988 , at the Iran -- Iraq war 's end , the Iraqi Army was the world 's fourth largest army ; it consisted of 955,000 standing soldiers and 650,000 paramilitary forces in the Popular Army . According to John Childs and André Corvisier , a low estimate shows the Iraqi Army capable of fielding 4,500 tanks , 484 combat aircraft and 232 combat helicopters . According to Michael Knights , a high estimate shows the Iraqi Army capable of fielding one million men and 850,000 reservists , 5,500 tanks , 3,000 artillery pieces , 700 combat aircraft and helicopters ; and held 53 divisions , 20 special - forces brigades , and several regional militias , and had a strong air defense . Iraqi Army T - 72 M main battle tanks . The T - 72M tank was a common Iraqi battle tank used in the Gulf War . An Iraqi Air Force Bell 214ST transport helicopter , after being captured by a US Marine Corps unit at the start of the ground phase of Operation Desert Storm Iraqi commandos infiltrated the Kuwaiti border first to prepare for the major units which began the attack at midnight . The Iraqi attack had two prongs , with the primary attack force driving south straight for Kuwait City down the main highway , and a supporting attack force entering Kuwait farther west , but then turning and driving east , cutting off Kuwait City from the country 's southern half . The commander of a Kuwaiti armored battalion , 35th Armoured Brigade , deployed them against the Iraqi attack and was able to conduct a robust defense at the Battle of the Bridges near Al Jahra , west of Kuwait City . Kuwaiti aircraft scrambled to meet the invading force , but approximately 20 % were lost or captured . A few combat sorties were flown against Iraqi ground forces . The main Iraqi thrust into Kuwait City was conducted by commandos deployed by helicopters and boats to attack the city from the sea , while other divisions seized the airports and two airbases .", "14": "The Iraqis attacked the Dasman Palace , the Royal Residence of Kuwait 's Emir , Jaber Al - Ahmad Al - Jaber Al - Sabah , which was defended by the Emiri Guard supported with M - 84 tanks . In the process , the Iraqis killed Fahad Al - Ahmed Al - Jaber Al - Sabah , the Emir 's youngest brother . Within 12 hours , most resistance had ended within Kuwait and the royal family had fled , leaving Iraq in control of most of Kuwait . After two days of intense combat , most of the Kuwaiti military were either overrun by the Iraqi Republican Guard , or had escaped to Saudi Arabia . The Emir and key ministers were able to get out and head south along the highway for refuge in Saudi Arabia . Iraqi ground forces consolidated their control of Kuwait City , then headed south and redeployed along the Saudi border . After the decisive Iraqi victory , Saddam initially installed a puppet regime known as the `` Provisional Government of Free Kuwait '' before installing his cousin Ali Hassan al - Majid as Kuwait 's governor on 8 August . Kuwaiti resistance movement Kuwaitis founded a local armed resistance movement following the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait . The Kuwaiti resistance 's casualty rate far exceeded that of the coalition military forces and Western hostages . The resistance predominantly consisted of ordinary citizens who lacked any form of training and supervision . Run - up to the War Diplomatic means A key element of US political - military and energy economic planning occurred in early 1984 . The Iran -- Iraq war had been going on for five years by that time and there were significant casualties on both sides , reaching into the hundreds of thousands . Within President Ronald Reagan 's National Security Council concern was growing that the war could spread beyond the boundaries of the two belligerents . A National Security Planning Group meeting was formed , chaired by then Vice President George H.W. Bush to review US options . It was determined that there was a high likelihood that the conflict would spread into Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states , but that the United States had little capability to defend the region . Furthermore , it was determined that a prolonged war in the region would induce much higher oil prices and threaten the fragile recovery of the world economy which was just beginning to gain momentum .", "15": "On 22 May 1984 , President Reagan was briefed on the project conclusions in the Oval Office by William Flynn Martin who had served as the head of the NSC staff that organized the study . The full declassified presentation can be seen here . The conclusions were threefold : first oil stocks needed to be increased among members of the International Energy Agency and , if necessary , released early in the event of oil market disruption ; second the United States needed to beef up the security of friendly Arab states in the region and thirdly an embargo should be placed on sales of military equipment to Iran and Iraq . The plan was approved by the President Reagan and later affirmed by the G - 7 leaders headed by Great Britain 's Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the London Summit of 1984 . The plan was implemented and became the basis for US preparedness to respond to the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait in 1991 . Within hours of the invasion , Kuwait and US delegations requested a meeting of the UN Security Council , which passed Resolution 660 , condemning the invasion and demanding a withdrawal of Iraqi troops . On 3 August , the Arab League passed its own resolution , which called for a solution to the conflict from within the league , and warned against outside intervention ; Iraq and Libya were the only two Arab League states which opposed a resolution for Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait . The PLO opposed it as well . The Arab states of Yemen and Jordan -- a Western ally which bordered Iraq and relied on the country for economic support -- opposed military intervention from non-Arab states . The Arab state of Sudan aligned itself with Saddam . On 6 August , Resolution 661 placed economic sanctions on Iraq . Resolution 665 followed soon after , which authorized a naval blockade to enforce the sanctions . It said the `` use of measures commensurate to the specific circumstances as may be necessary ... to halt all inward and outward maritime shipping in order to inspect and verify their cargoes and destinations and to ensure strict implementation of resolution 661 . ''", "16": "President Bush visiting American troops in Saudi Arabia on Thanksgiving Day , 1990 The US administration had at first been indecisive with an `` undertone ... of resignation to the invasion and even adaptation to it as a fait accompli '' until the UK 's prime minister Margaret Thatcher played a powerful role , reminding the President that appeasement in the 1930s had led to war , that Saddam would have the whole Gulf at his mercy along with 65 per cent of the world 's oil supply , and famously urging President Bush `` not to go wobbly '' . Once persuaded , US officials insisted on a total Iraqi pullout from Kuwait , without any linkage to other Middle Eastern problems , accepting the British view that any concessions would strengthen Iraqi influence in the region for years to come . On 12 August 1990 , Saddam `` propose ( d ) that all cases of occupation , and those cases that have been portrayed as occupation , in the region , be resolved simultaneously '' . Specifically , he called for Israel to withdraw from occupied territories in Palestine , Syria , and Lebanon , Syria to withdraw from Lebanon , and `` mutual withdrawals by Iraq and Iran and arrangement for the situation in Kuwait . '' He also called for a replacement of US troops that mobilized in Saudi Arabia in response to Kuwait 's invasion with `` an Arab force '' , as long as that force did not involve Egypt . Additionally , he requested an `` immediate freeze of all boycott and siege decisions '' and a general normalization of relations with Iraq . From the beginning of the crisis , President Bush was strongly opposed to any `` linkage '' between Iraq 's occupation of Kuwait and the Palestinian issue . Saddam Hussein detained several Westerners , with video footage shown on state television On 23 August , Saddam appeared on state television with Western hostages to whom he had refused exit visas . In the video , he asks a young British boy , Stuart Lockwood , whether he is getting his milk , and goes on to say , through his interpreter , `` We hope your presence as guests here will not be for too long . Your presence here , and in other places , is meant to prevent the scourge of war . '' Another Iraqi proposal communicated in August 1990 was delivered to US National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft by an unidentified Iraqi official .", "17": "The official communicated to the White House that Iraq would `` withdraw from Kuwait and allow foreigners to leave '' provided that the UN lifted sanctions , allowed `` guaranteed access to the Persian Gulf through the Kuwaiti islands of Bubiyan and Warbah '' , and allowed Iraq to `` gain full control of the Rumaila oil field that extends slightly into Kuwaiti territory '' . The proposal also `` include ( d ) offers to negotiate an oil agreement with the United States ' satisfactory to both nations ' national security interests , ' develop a joint plan ' to alleviate Iraq 's economical and financial problems ' and ' jointly work on the stability of the gulf . ' '' In December 1990 , Iraq made a proposal to withdraw from Kuwait provided that foreign troops left the region and that an agreement was reached regarding the Palestinian problem and the dismantlement of both Israel 's and Iraq 's weapons of mass destruction . The White House rejected the proposal . The PLO 's Yasser Arafat expressed that neither he nor Saddam insisted that solving the Israel -- Palestine issues should be a precondition to solving the issues in Kuwait , though he did acknowledge a `` strong link '' between these problems . Ultimately , the US and UK stuck to their position that there would be no negotiations until Iraq withdrew from Kuwait and that they should not grant Iraq concessions , lest they give the impression that Iraq benefited from its military campaign . Also , when US Secretary of State James Baker met with Tariq Aziz in Geneva , Switzerland , for last minute peace talks in early 1991 , Aziz reportedly made no concrete proposals and did not outline any hypothetical Iraqi moves . On 29 November 1990 , the Security Council passed Resolution 678 which gave Iraq until 15 January 1991 to withdraw from Kuwait and empowered states to use `` all necessary means '' to force Iraq out of Kuwait after the deadline . On 14 January 1991 , France proposed that the UN Security Council call for `` a rapid and massive withdrawal '' from Kuwait along with a statement to Iraq that Council members would bring their `` active contribution '' to a settlement of the region 's other problems , `` in particular , of the Arab -- Israeli conflict and in particular to the Palestinian problem by convening , at an appropriate moment , an international conference '' to assure `` the security , stability and development of this region of the world . ''", "18": "The French proposal was supported by Belgium ( at the moment one of the rotating Council members ) , Germany , Spain , Italy , Algeria , Morocco , Tunisia , and several non-aligned nations . The US , the UK , and the Soviet Union rejected it ; US Ambassador to the UN Thomas Pickering stated that the French proposal was unacceptable , because it went beyond previous Council resolutions on the Iraqi invasion . France dropped this proposal when it found `` no tangible sign of interest '' from Baghdad . Military means `` Operation Desert Shield '' redirects here . For the 2006 operation by the Iraqi insurgency , see Operation Desert Shield ( Iraq ) . F - 15Es parked during Operation Desert Shield One of the West 's main concerns was the significant threat Iraq posed to Saudi Arabia . Following Kuwait 's conquest , the Iraqi Army was within easy striking distance of Saudi oil fields . Control of these fields , along with Kuwaiti and Iraqi reserves , would have given Saddam control over the majority of the world 's oil reserves . Iraq also had a number of grievances with Saudi Arabia . The Saudis had lent Iraq some 26 billion dollars during its war with Iran . The Saudis had backed Iraq in that war , as they feared the influence of Shia Iran 's Islamic revolution on its own Shia minority . After the war , Saddam felt he should n't have to repay the loans due to the help he had given the Saudis by fighting Iran . Soon after his conquest of Kuwait , Saddam began verbally attacking the Saudis . He argued that the US - supported Saudi state was an illegitimate and unworthy guardian of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina . He combined the language of the Islamist groups that had recently fought in Afghanistan with the rhetoric Iran had long used to attack the Saudis . US Army soldiers from the 11th Air Defense Artillery Brigade during the Gulf War Acting on the Carter Doctrine 's policy , and out of fear the Iraqi Army could launch an invasion of Saudi Arabia , US President George H.W. Bush quickly announced that the US would launch a `` wholly defensive '' mission to prevent Iraq from invading Saudi Arabia under the codename Operation Desert Shield . Operation Desert Shield began on 7 August 1990 when US troops were sent to Saudi Arabia due also to the request of its monarch , King Fahd , who had earlier called for US military assistance .", "19": "This `` wholly defensive '' doctrine was quickly abandoned when , on 8 August , Iraq declared Kuwait to be Iraq 's 19th province and Saddam named his cousin , Ali Hassan Al - Majid , as its military - governor . The US Navy dispatched two naval battle groups built around the aircraft carriers USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and USS Independence to the Persian Gulf , where they were ready by 8 August . The US also sent the battleships USS Missouri and USS Wisconsin to the region . A total of 48 US Air Force F - 15s from the 1st Fighter Wing at Langley Air Force Base , Virginia , landed in Saudi Arabia , and immediately commenced round the clock air patrols of the Saudi -- Kuwait -- Iraq border to discourage further Iraqi military advances . They were joined by 36 F - 15 A-Ds from the 36th Tactical Fighter Wing at Bitburg , Germany . The Bitburg contingent was based at Al Kharj Air Base , approximately an hour south east of Riyadh . The 36th TFW would be responsible for 11 confirmed Iraqi Air Force aircraft shot down during the war . There were also two Air National Guard units stationed at Al Kharj Air Base , the South Carolina Air National Guard 's 169th Fighter Wing flew bombing missions with 24 F - 16s flying 2,000 combat missions and dropping 4 million pounds of munitions , and the New York Air National Guard 's 174th Fighter Wing from Syracuse flew 24 F - 16s on bombing missions . Military buildup continued from there , eventually reaching 543,000 troops , twice the number used in the 2003 invasion of Iraq . Much of the material was airlifted or carried to the staging areas via fast sealift ships , allowing a quick buildup . Creating a coalition Nations that deployed coalition forces or provided support A series of UN Security Council resolutions and Arab League resolutions were passed regarding Iraq 's invasion of Kuwait . One of the most important was Resolution 678 , passed on 29 November 1990 , which gave Iraq a withdrawal deadline until 15 January 1991 , and authorized `` all necessary means to uphold and implement Resolution 660 '' , and a diplomatic formulation authorizing the use of force if Iraq failed to comply .", "20": "To ensure that economic backing , Baker went on an 11 - day journey to nine countries that the press dubbed `` The Tin Cup Trip '' . The first stop was Saudi Arabia , which a month before had already granted permission to the United States to use its facilities . However , Baker believed that Saudi Arabia , an immensely wealthy nation , should assume some of the cost of the military efforts , since one of the most important military objectives was to defend Saudi Arabia . When Baker asked King Fahd for 15 billion dollars , the King readily agreed , with the promise that Baker ask Kuwait for the same amount . The next day , 7 September , he did just that , and the Emir of Kuwait , displaced in a Sheraton hotel outside his invaded country , easily agreed . Baker then moved to enter talks with Egypt , whose leadership he considered to be `` the moderate voice of the middle east '' . President Mubarak of Egypt was furious with Saddam for his invasion of Kuwait , and for the fact that Saddam had assured Mubarak that an invasion was not his intention . Therefore , he was willing to commit troops to the coalition forces to quell Saddam , as well as relieved the United States was willing to forgive his country 's 7.1 billion dollar debt . After stops in Helsinki and Moscow to smooth out Iraqi demands for a middle - eastern peace conference with the Soviet Union , Baker traveled to Syria to discuss its role in the crisis with its President Hafez Assad . Assad had a deep personal enmity towards Saddam , which was defined by the fact that `` Saddam had been trying to kill him ( Assad ) for years '' . Harboring this animosity and being impressed with Baker 's diplomatic initiative to visit Damascus ( relations had been severed since the 1983 bombing of US Marine barracks in Beirut ) , Assad agreed to pledge up to 100,000 Syrian troops to the coalition effort . This was a vital step in ensuring Arab states were represented in the coalition . Baker flew to Rome for a brief visit with the Italians in which he was promised the use of some military equipment , before journeying to Germany to meet with American ally Chancellor Kohl .", "21": "Although Germany 's constitution ( which was brokered essentially by the United States ) prohibited military involvement in outside nations , Kohl was willing to repay his gratitude for the United States with a two billion dollar contribution to the coalition 's war effort , as well as further economic and military support of coalition ally Turkey , and the execution of the transport of Egyptian soldiers and ships to the Persian Gulf . General Norman Schwarzkopf , Jr. and President George H.W. Bush visit US troops in Saudi Arabia on Thanksgiving Day , 1990 . A coalition of forces opposing Iraq 's aggression was formed , consisting of forces from 34 countries : Argentina , Australia , Bahrain , Bangladesh , Belgium , Canada , Denmark , Egypt , France , Greece , Italy , Kuwait , Morocco , Netherlands , New Zealand , Niger , Norway , Oman , Pakistan , Poland , Portugal , Qatar , South Korea , Saudi Arabia , Senegal , Sierra Leone , Singapore , Spain , Syria , the United Arab Emirates , the United Kingdom , and the US itself . It was the largest coalition since World War II . US Army General Norman Schwarzkopf , Jr. was designated to be the commander of the coalition forces in the Persian Gulf area . The Soviet Union also supported United States intervention . Although they did not contribute any forces , Japan and Germany made financial contributions totaling $10 billion and $6.6 billion respectively . US troops represented 73 % of the coalition 's 956,600 troops in Iraq . Many of the coalition countries were reluctant to commit military forces . Some felt that the war was an internal Arab affair or did not want to increase US influence in the Middle East . In the end , however , many nations were persuaded by Iraq 's belligerence towards other Arab states , offers of economic aid or debt forgiveness , and threats to withhold aid . Justification for intervention Dick Cheney meets with Prince Sultan , Minister of Defence and Aviation in Saudi Arabia to discuss how to handle the invasion of Kuwait . The US and the UN gave several public justifications for involvement in the conflict , the most prominent being the Iraqi violation of Kuwaiti territorial integrity . In addition , the US moved to support its ally Saudi Arabia , whose importance in the region , and as a key supplier of oil , made it of considerable geopolitical importance .", "22": "Shortly after the Iraqi invasion , US Defense Secretary Dick Cheney made the first of several visits to Saudi Arabia where King Fahd requested US military assistance . During a speech in a special joint session of the US Congress given on 11 September 1990 , US President George H.W. Bush summed up the reasons with the following remarks : `` Within three days , 120,000 Iraqi troops with 850 tanks had poured into Kuwait and moved south to threaten Saudi Arabia . It was then that I decided to act to check that aggression . '' The Pentagon stated that satellite photos showing a buildup of Iraqi forces along the border were this information 's source , but this was later alleged to be false . A reporter for the St. Petersburg Times acquired two commercial Soviet satellite images made at the time in question , which showed nothing but empty desert . Gen. Colin Powell ( left ) , Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf , Jr. , and Paul Wolfowitz ( right ) listen as Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney addresses reporters regarding the 1991 Gulf War . Other justifications for foreign involvement included Iraq 's history of human rights abuses under Saddam . Iraq was also known to possess biological weapons and chemical weapons , which Saddam had used against Iranian troops during the Iran -- Iraq War and against his own country 's Kurdish population in the Al - Anfal campaign . Iraq was also known to have a nuclear weapons program , but the report about it from January 1991 was partially declassified by the CIA on 26 May 2001 . Although there were human rights abuses committed in Kuwait by the invading Iraqi military , the alleged incidents which received most publicity in the US were inventions of the public relations firm hired by the government of Kuwait to influence US opinion in favor of military intervention . Shortly after Iraq 's invasion of Kuwait , the organization Citizens for a Free Kuwait was formed in the US . It hired the public relations firm Hill & Knowlton for about $11 million , paid by Kuwait 's government .", "23": "Among many other means of influencing US opinion , such as distributing books on Iraqi atrocities to US soldiers deployed in the region , `` Free Kuwait '' T - shirts and speakers to college campuses , and dozens of video news releases to television stations , the firm arranged for an appearance before a group of members of the US Congress in which a woman identifying herself as a nurse working in the Kuwait City hospital described Iraqi soldiers pulling babies out of incubators and letting them die on the floor . The story was an influence in tipping both the public and Congress towards a war with Iraq : six Congressmen said the testimony was enough for them to support military action against Iraq and seven Senators referenced the testimony in debate . The Senate supported the military actions in a 52 -- 47 vote . However , a year after the war , this allegation was revealed to be a fabrication . The woman who had testified was found to be a member of Kuwait 's Royal Family , in fact the daughter of Kuwait 's ambassador to the US . She had n't lived in Kuwait during the Iraqi invasion . The details of the Hill & Knowlton public relations campaign , including the incubator testimony , were published in John R. MacArthur 's Second Front : Censorship and Propaganda in the Gulf War ( Berkeley , CA : University of California Press , 1992 ) , and came to wide public attention when an Op - ed by MacArthur was published in The New York Times . This prompted a reexamination by Amnesty International , which had originally promoted an account alleging even greater numbers of babies torn from incubators than the original fake testimony . After finding no evidence to support it , the organization issued a retraction . President Bush then repeated the incubator allegations on television . At the same time , the Iraqi Army committed several well - documented crimes during its occupation of Kuwait , such as the summary execution without trial of three brothers after which their bodies were stacked in a pile and left to decay in a public street . Iraqi troops also ransacked and looted private Kuwaiti homes ; one residence was repeatedly defecated in . A resident later commented : `` The whole thing was violence for the sake of violence , destruction for the sake of destruction ... Imagine a surrealistic painting by Salvador Dalí '' .", "24": "Early battles Air campaign Main article : Gulf War air campaign The USAF F - 117 Nighthawk , one of the key players in Desert Storm The Gulf War began with an extensive aerial bombing campaign on 16 January 1991 . For 42 consecutive days and nights , the coalition forces subjected Iraq to one of the most intensive air bombardment in military history . The coalition flew over 100,000 sorties , dropping 88,500 tons of bombs , and widely destroying military and civilian infrastructure . The air campaign was commanded by USAF Lieutenant General Chuck Horner , who briefly served as US Central Command 's Commander - in - Chief -- Forward while General Schwarzkopf was still in the US . A day after the deadline set in Resolution 678 , the coalition launched a massive air campaign , which began the general offensive codenamed Operation Desert Storm . The first priority was the destruction of Iraq 's Air Force and anti-aircraft facilities . The sorties were launched mostly from Saudi Arabia and the six carrier battle groups ( CVBG ) in the Persian Gulf and Red Sea . An Iraqi T - 54A or Type 59 tank lies destroyed after a coalition bombing attack during Operation Desert Storm . The next targets were command and communication facilities . Saddam Hussein had closely micromanaged Iraqi forces in the Iran -- Iraq War , and initiative at lower levels was discouraged . Coalition planners hoped that Iraqi resistance would quickly collapse if deprived of command and control . The air campaign 's third and largest phase targeted military targets throughout Iraq and Kuwait : Scud missile launchers , weapons research facilities , and naval forces . About a third of the coalition 's air power was devoted to attacking Scuds , some of which were on trucks and therefore difficult to locate . US and British special operations forces had been covertly inserted into western Iraq to aid in the search for and destruction of Scuds . Iraqi anti-aircraft defenses , including man - portable air - defense systems , were surprisingly ineffective against enemy aircraft and the coalition suffered only 75 aircraft losses in over 100,000 sorties , 44 due to Iraqi action . Two of these losses are the result of aircraft colliding with the ground while evading Iraqi ground fired weapons . One of these losses is a confirmed air - air victory .", "25": "Iraqi missile strikes on Israel and Saudi Arabia Scud Transporter Erector Launcher ( TEL ) with missile in upright position Iraq 's government made no secret that it would attack if invaded . Prior to the war 's start , in the aftermath of the failed US -- Iraq peace talks in Geneva , Switzerland , a reporter asked Iraq 's English - speaking Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz : `` Mr. Foreign Minister , if war starts ... will you attack ? '' His response was : `` Yes , absolutely , yes . '' Five hours after the first attacks , Iraq 's state radio broadcast declaring that `` The dawn of victory nears as this great showdown begins . '' Iraq fired eight missiles the next day . These missile attacks were to continue throughout the war . A total of 88 Scud missiles were fired by Iraq during the war 's seven weeks . Iraq hoped to provoke a military response from Israel . The Iraqi government hoped that many Arab states would withdraw from the Coalition , as they would be reluctant to fight alongside Israel . Following the first attacks , Israeli Air Force jets were deployed to patrol the northern airspace with Iraq . Israel prepared to militarily retaliate , as its policy for the previous 40 years had always been retaliation . However , President Bush pressured Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir not to retaliate and withdraw Israeli jets , fearing that if Israel attacked Iraq , the other Arab nations would either desert the coalition or join Iraq . It was also feared that if Israel used Syrian or Jordanian airspace to attack Iraq , they would intervene in the war on Iraq 's side or attack Israel . The coalition promised to deploy Patriot missiles to defend Israel if it refrained from responding to the Scud attacks . Israeli civilians taking shelter from rockets ( left ) and aftermath of attack in Ramat Gan , Tel Aviv ( right ) The Scud missiles targeting Israel were relatively ineffective , as firing at extreme range resulted in a dramatic reduction in accuracy and payload . According to the Jewish Virtual Library , a total of 74 Israelis died as a result of the Iraqi attacks : two directly and the rest from suffocation and heart attacks . Approximately 230 Israelis were injured .", "26": "Extensive property damage was also caused , and according to Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs , `` Damage to general property consisted of 1,302 houses , 6,142 apartments , 23 public buildings , 200 shops and 50 cars . '' It was feared that Iraq would fire missiles filled with nerve agents such as sarin . As a result , Israel 's government issued gas masks to its citizens . When the first Iraqi missiles hit Israel , some people injected themselves with an antidote for nerve gas . It has been suggested that the sturdy construction techniques used in Israeli cities , coupled with the fact that Scuds were only launched at night , played an important role in limiting the number of casualties from Scud attacks . Aftermath of an Iraq Armed Forces strike on US barracks In response to the threat of Scuds on Israel , the US rapidly sent a Patriot missile air defense artillery battalion to Israel along with two batteries of MIM - 104 Patriot missiles for the protection of civilians . The Royal Netherlands Air Force also deployed a Patriot missile squadron to Israel and Turkey . The Dutch Defense Ministry later stated that the military use of the Patriot missile system was largely ineffective , but its psychological value for the affected populations was high . Coalition air forces were also extensively exercised in `` Scud hunts '' in the Iraqi desert , trying to locate the camouflaged trucks before they fired their missiles at Israel or Saudi Arabia . On the ground , special operations forces also infiltrated Iraq , tasked with locating and destroying Scuds . Once special operations were combined with air patrols , the number of attacks fell sharply , then increased slightly as Iraqi forces adjusted to coalition tactics . As the Scud attacks continued , the Israelis grew increasingly impatient , and considered taking unilateral military action against Iraq . On 22 January 1991 , a Scud missile hit the Israeli city of Ramat Gan , after two coalition Patriots failed to intercept it . Three elderly people suffered fatal heart attacks , another 96 people were injured , and 20 apartment buildings were damaged . After this attack , the Israelis warned that if the US failed to stop the attacks , they would . At one point , Israeli commandos boarded helicopters prepared to fly into Iraq , but the mission was called off after a phone call from US Defense Secretary Dick Cheney , reporting on the extent of coalition efforts to destroy Scuds and emphasizing that Israeli intervention could endanger US forces .", "27": "In addition to the attacks on Israel , 47 Scud missiles were fired into Saudi Arabia , and one missile was fired at Bahrain and another at Qatar . The missiles were fired at both military and civilian targets . One Saudi civilian was killed , and 78 others were injured . No casualties were reported in Bahrain or Qatar . The Saudi government issued all its citizens and expatriates with gas masks in the event of Iraq using missiles with chemical or biological warheads . The government broadcast alerts and ' all clear ' messages over television to warn citizens during Scud attacks . On 25 February 1991 , a Scud missile hit a US Army barracks of the 14th Quartermaster Detachment , out of Greensburg , Pennsylvania , stationed in Dhahran , Saudi Arabia , killing 28 soldiers and injuring over 100 .

The Battle of Khafji ended two days later when the Iraqis were driven back by the Saudi Arabian National Guard , supported by Qatari forces and US Marines . The allied forces used extensive artillery fire . Both sides suffered casualties , although Iraqi forces sustained substantially more dead and captured than the allied forces . Eleven Americans were killed in two separate friendly fire incidents , an additional 14 US airmen were killed when their AC - 130 gunship was shot down by an Iraqi surface - to - air missile , and two US soldiers were captured during the battle . Saudi and Qatari forces had a total of 18 dead . Iraqi forces in Khafji had 60 -- 300 dead and 400 captured . The Battle of Khafji was an example of how air power could single - handedly hinder the advance of enemy ground forces . Upon learning of Iraqi troop movements , 140 coalition aircraft were diverted to attack an advancing column consisting of two armored divisions in battalion - sized units .", "28": "Precision stand - off attacks were conducted during the night and through to the next day . Iraqi vehicle losses included 357 tanks , 147 armored personnel carriers , and 89 mobile artillery pieces . Some crews simply abandoned their vehicles upon realizing that they could be destroyed by guided bombs without warning , stopping the divisions from massing for an organized attack on the town . One Iraqi soldier , who had fought in the Iran - Iraq War , remarked that his brigade `` had sustained more punishment from allied airpower in 30 minutes at Khafji than in eight years of fighting against Iran . '' Counter reconnaissance Main article : Battle of Norfolk See also : Task Force 1 - 41 Infantry Iraqi tanks destroyed by Task Force 1 - 41 Infantry during the 1st Gulf War , February 1991 Task Force 1 - 41 Infantry was a heavy battalion task force from the 2nd Armored Division ( Forward ) . It was the spearhead of VII Corps . It consisted primarily of the 1st Battalion , 41st Infantry Regiment , 3rd Battalion , 66th Armor Regiment , and the 4th Battalion , 3rd Field Artillery Regiment . Task Force 1 -- 41 was the first coalition force to breach the Saudi Arabian border on 15 February 1991 and conduct ground combat operations in Iraq engaging in direct and indirect fire fights with the enemy on 17 February 1991 . Shortly after arrival in theatre Task Force 1 -- 41 Infantry received a counter-reconnaissance mission . 1 -- 41 Infantry was assisted by the 1st Squadron , 4th Armored Cavalry Regiment . This joint effort would become known as Task Force Iron . Counter-reconnaissance generally includes destroying or repelling the enemy 's reconnaissance elements and denying their commander any observation of friendly forces . On 15 February 1991 4th Battalion of the 3rd Field Artillery Regiment fired on a trailer and a few trucks in the Iraqi sector that was observing American forces . On 16 February 1991 several groups of Iraqi vehicles appeared to be performing reconnaissance on the Task Force and were driven away by fire from 4 -- 3 FA . Another enemy platoon , including six vehicles , was reported as being to the northeast of the Task Force . They were engaged with artillery fire from 4 -- 3 FA .", "29": "Later that evening another group of Iraqi vehicles was spotted moving towards the center of the Task Force . They appeared to be Iraqi Soviet - made BTRs and tanks . For the next hour the Task Force fought several small battles with Iraqi reconnaissance units . TF 1 -- 41 IN fired TOW missiles at the Iraqi formation destroying one tank . The rest of the formation was destroyed or driven away by artillery fire from 4 -- 3 FA . On 17 February 1991 the Task Force took enemy mortar fire , however , the enemy forces managed to escape . Later that evening the Task Force received enemy artillery fire but suffered no casualties .

Prior to this action the Task Force 's primary fire support battalion 4th Battalion of the 3rd Field Artillery Regiment participated in a massive artillery preparation . Around 300 guns from multiple nations participated in the artillery barrage . Over 14,000 rounds would be fired during these missions . M270 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems contributed an additional 4,900 rockets fired at Iraqi targets . Iraq lost close to 22 artillery battalions during the initial stages of this barrage . This would include the destruction of approximately 396 Iraqi artillery pieces . By the end of these raids Iraqi artillery assets had all but ceased to exist . One Iraqi unit that was totally destroyed during the preparation was the Iraqi 48th Infantry Division Artillery Group . The group 's commander stated his unit lost 83 of its 100 guns to the artillery preparation .", "30": "This artillery prep was supplemented by air attacks by B - 52 bombers and Lockheed AC - 130 fixed wing gunships . 1st Infantry Division Apache helicopters and B - 52 bombers conducted raids against Iraq 's 110th Infantry Brigade . The 1st Engineer Battalion and 9th Engineer Battalion marked and proofed assault lanes under direct and indirect enemy fire to secure a foothold in enemy territory and pass the 1st Infantry Division and the British 1st Armored Division forward . On 24 February 1991 the 1st Cavalry Division conducted a couple artillery missions against Iraqi artillery units . One artillery mission struck a series of Iraqi bunkers , reinforced by Iraqi T - 55 tanks , in the sector of the Iraqi 25th Infantry Division . The same day the 2nd Brigade , 1st Cavalry Division with the 1st Battalion , 5th Cavalry , 1st Battalion , 32nd Armor , and the 1st Battalion , 8th Cavalry destroyed Iraqi bunkers and combat vehicles in the sector of the Iraqi 25th Infantry Division . On 24 February 1991 2nd Brigade , 1st Infantry Division rolled through the breach in the Iraqi defense west of Wadi Al - Batin and also cleared the northeastern sector of the breach site of enemy resistance . Task Force 3 - 37th Armor breached the Iraqi defense clearing four passage lanes and expanding the gap under direct enemy fire . Also , on 24 February the 1st Infantry Division along with the 1st Cavalry Division destroyed Iraqi outposts and patrols belonging to the Iraqi 26th Infantry Division . The two divisions also began capturing prisoners . The 1st Infantry Division also cleared a zone between Phase Line Vermont and Phase Line Kansas . Once the 1st Infantry Division 's 3rd Battalion , 37th Armor reached the Iraqi rear defensive positions it destroyed an Iraqi D - 30 artillery battery and many trucks and bunkers . Task Force 1 - 41 Infantry was given the task of breaching Iraq 's initial defensive positions along the Iraq - Saudi Arabia border . The 1st Squadron , 4th Armored Cavalry Regiment handled similar responsibilities in its sector of operations .", "31": "The 1st Infantry Division 's 5th Battalion , 16th Infantry also played a significant role clearing the trenches and captured 160 Iraqi soldiers in the process . Once into Iraqi territory Task Force 1 - 41 Infantry encountered multiple Iraqi defensive positions and bunkers . These defensive positions were occupied by a brigade - sized element . Task Force 1 - 41 Infantry elements dismounted and prepared to engage the enemy soldiers which occupied these well - prepared and heavily fortified bunkers . The Task Force found itself engaged in six hours of combat in order to clear the extensive bunker complex . The Iraqis engaged the Task Force with small arms fire , RPGs , mortar fire , and what was left of Iraqi artillery assets . A series of battles unfolded which resulted in heavy Iraqi casualties and the Iraqis being removed from their defensive positions with many becoming prisoners of war . Some escaped to be killed or captured by other coalition forces . In the process of clearing the bunkers Task Force 1 - 41 captured two brigade command posts and the command post of the Iraqi 26th Infantry Division . The Task Force also captured a brigade commander , several battalion commanders , company commanders , and staff officers . As combat operations progressed Task Force 1 - 41 Infantry engaged at short range multiple dug in enemy tanks in ambush positions . For a few hours , bypassed Iraqi RPG equipped anti-tank teams , T - 55 tanks , and dismounted Iraqi infantry fired at passing American vehicles , only to be destroyed by other US tanks and fighting vehicles following the initial forces . The 1st Infantry Division 's Task Force 2 - 16 Infantry cleared four lanes simultaneously through an enemy fortified trench system while inflicting heavy casualties on Iraqi forces . Task Force 2 - 16 continued the attack clearing over 13 miles of entrenched enemy positions resulting in the capture and destruction of numerous enemy vehicles , equipment , personnel and command bunkers .

Some consider the battle of Medina Ridge the largest tank battle of the war . The U.S. Marine Corps also fought the biggest tank battle in its history at Kuwait International Airport . The U.S. 3rd Armored Division also fought a significant battle at Objective Dorset not far from where the battle of Norfolk was taking place . The U.S. 3rd Armored Division destroyed approximately 300 enemy combat vehicles during this particular encounter with Iraqi forces . The Iraqis suffered the loss of over 3,000 tanks and over 2,000 other combat vehicles during these battles against the American led coalition .

Iraqi Type 69 tank on the road into Kuwait City during the Gulf War Two Iraqi tanks lie abandoned near Kuwait City on 26 February 1991 . For months , American units in Saudi Arabia had been under almost constant Iraqi artillery fire , as well as threats from Scud missile or chemical attacks . On 24 February 1991 , the 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions , and the 1st Light Armored Infantry Battalion crossed into Kuwait and headed toward Kuwait City . They encountered trenches , barbed wire , and minefields . However , these positions were poorly defended , and were overrun in the first few hours . Several tank battles took place , but apart from that , coalition troops encountered minimal resistance , as most Iraqi troops surrendered . The general pattern was that the Iraqis would put up a short fight before surrendering . However , Iraqi air defenses shot down nine US aircraft . Meanwhile , forces from Arab states advanced into Kuwait from the east , encountering little resistance and suffering few casualties . Despite the successes of coalition forces , it was feared that the Iraqi Republican Guard would escape into Iraq before it could be destroyed .", "33": "It was decided to send British armored forces into Kuwait 15 hours ahead of schedule , and to send US forces after the Republican Guard . The coalition advance was preceded by a heavy artillery and rocket barrage , after which 150,000 troops and 1,500 tanks began their advance . Iraqi forces in Kuwait counterattacked against US troops , acting on a direct order from Saddam Hussein himself . Despite the intense combat , the Americans repulsed the Iraqis and continued to advance towards Kuwait City . Kuwaiti forces were tasked with liberating the city . Iraqi troops offered only light resistance . The Kuwaitis lost one soldier and one plane was shot down , and quickly liberated the city . On 27 February , Saddam ordered a retreat from Kuwait , and President Bush declared it liberated . However , an Iraqi unit at Kuwait International Airport appeared not to have received the message and fiercely resisted . US Marines had to fight for hours before securing the airport , after which Kuwait was declared secure . After four days of fighting , Iraqi forces were expelled from Kuwait . As part of a scorched earth policy , they set fire to nearly 700 oil wells and placed land mines around the wells to make extinguishing the fires more difficult . Initial moves into Iraq Destroyed LAV - 25 The war 's ground phase was officially designated Operation Desert Saber . The first units to move into Iraq were three patrols of the British Special Air Service 's B squadron , call signs Bravo One Zero , Bravo Two Zero , and Bravo Three Zero , in late January . These eight - man patrols landed behind Iraqi lines to gather intelligence on the movements of Scud mobile missile launchers , which could not be detected from the air , as they were hidden under bridges and camouflage netting during the day . Other objectives included the destruction of the launchers and their fiber - optic communications arrays that lay in pipelines and relayed coordinates to the TEL operators that were launching attacks against Israel . The operations were designed to prevent any possible Israeli intervention . Due to lack of sufficient ground cover to carry out their assignment , One Zero and Three Zero abandoned their operations , while Two Zero remained , and was later compromised , with only Sergeant Chris Ryan escaping to Syria .", "34": "Iraqi T - 62 knocked out by 3rd Armored Division fire Elements of the 2nd Brigade , 1st Battalion 5th Cavalry of the 1st Cavalry Division of the US Army performed a direct attack into Iraq on 15 February 1991 , followed by one in force on 20 February that led directly through seven Iraqi divisions which were caught off guard . On 17 January 1991 the 101st Airborne Division Aviation Regiment , fired the first shots of the war when eight AH - 64 helicopters successfully destroyed two Iraqi early warning radar sites . From 15 -- 20 February , the Battle of Wadi Al - Batin took place inside Iraq ; this was the first of two attacks by 1 Battalion 5th Cavalry of the 1st Cavalry Division . It was a feint attack , designed to make the Iraqis think that a coalition invasion would take place from the south . The Iraqis fiercely resisted , and the Americans eventually withdrew as planned back into the Wadi Al - Batin . Three US soldiers were killed and nine wounded , with one M2 Bradley IFV turret destroyed , but they had taken 40 prisoners and destroyed five tanks , and successfully deceived the Iraqis . This attack led the way for the XVIII Airborne Corps to sweep around behind the 1st Cav and attack Iraqi forces to the west . On 22 February 1991 , Iraq agreed to a Soviet - proposed ceasefire agreement . The agreement called for Iraq to withdraw troops to pre-invasion positions within six weeks following a total ceasefire , and called for monitoring of the ceasefire and withdrawal to be overseen by the UN Security Council . The coalition rejected the proposal , but said that retreating Iraqi forces would not be attacked , and gave 24 hours for Iraq to withdraw its forces . On 23 February , fighting resulted in the capture of 500 Iraqi soldiers . On 24 February , British and American armored forces crossed the Iraq -- Kuwait border and entered Iraq in large numbers , taking hundreds of prisoners . Iraqi resistance was light , and four Americans were killed .", "35": "Coalition forces enter Iraq Destroyed Iraqi civilian and military vehicles on the Highway of Death Aerial view of destroyed Iraqi T - 72 tank , BMP - 1 and Type 63 armored personnel carriers and trucks on Highway 8 in March 1991 The oil fires caused were a result of the scorched earth policy of Iraqi military forces retreating from Kuwait . Remains of downed F - 16C Bradley IFV burns after being hit by Iraqi T - 72 fire Shortly afterwards , the US VII Corps , in full strength and spearheaded by the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment , launched an armored attack into Iraq early on 24 February , just to the west of Kuwait , taking Iraqi forces by surprise . Simultaneously , the US XVIII Airborne Corps launched a sweeping `` left - hook '' attack across southern Iraq 's largely undefended desert , led by the US 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment and the 24th Infantry Division ( Mechanized ) . This movement 's left flank was protected by the French Division Daguet . The 101st Airborne Division conducted a combat air assault into enemy territory . The 101st Airborne Division had struck 155 miles behind enemy lines . It was the deepest air assault operation in history . Approximately 400 helicopters transported 2,000 soldiers into Iraq where they destroyed Iraqi columns trying to flee westward and prevented the escape of Iraqi forces . The Screaming Eagles would travel an additional fifty to sixty miles into Iraq . By nightfall , the 101st cut off Highway 8 which was a vital supply line running between Basra and the Iraqi forces . The 101st had lost 16 soldiers in action during the 100 - hour war and captured thousands of enemy prisoners of war . The French force quickly overcame Iraq 's 45th Infantry Division , suffering light casualties and taking a large number of prisoners , and took up blocking positions to prevent an Iraqi counterattack on the coalition 's flank . The movement 's right flank was protected by the United Kingdom 's 1st Armoured Division . Once the allies had penetrated deep into Iraqi territory , they turned eastward , launching a flank attack against the elite Republican Guard before it could escape . The Iraqis resisted fiercely from dug - in positions and stationary vehicles , and even mounted armored charges .", "36": "Unlike many previous engagements , the destruction of the first Iraqi tanks did not result in a mass surrender . The Iraqis suffered massive losses and lost dozens of tanks and vehicles , while US casualties were comparatively low , with a single Bradley knocked out . Coalition forces pressed another 10 km into Iraqi territory , and captured their objective within three hours . They took 500 prisoners and inflicted heavy losses , defeating Iraq 's 26th Infantry Division . A US soldier was killed by an Iraqi land mine , another five by friendly fire , and 30 wounded during the battle . Meanwhile , British forces attacked Iraq 's Medina Division and a major Republican Guard logistics base . In nearly two days of some of the war 's most intense fighting , the British destroyed 40 enemy tanks and captured a division commander . Meanwhile , US forces attacked the village of Al Busayyah , meeting fierce resistance . The US force destroyed a considerable amount of military hardware and took prisoners , while suffering no casualties . On 25 February 1991 , Iraqi forces fired a Scud missile at an American barracks in Dhahran , Saudi Arabia . The missile attack killed 28 US military personnel . The coalition 's advance was much swifter than US generals had expected . On 26 February , Iraqi troops began retreating from Kuwait , after they had set 737 of its oil wells on fire . A long convoy of retreating Iraqi troops formed along the main Iraq - Kuwait highway . Although they were retreating , this convoy was bombed so extensively by coalition air forces that it came to be known as the Highway of Death . Hundreds of Iraqi troops were killed . American , British , and French forces continued to pursue retreating Iraqi forces over the border and back into Iraq , eventually moving to within 150 miles ( 240 km ) of Baghdad , before withdrawing back to Iraq 's border with Kuwait and Saudi Arabia . One hundred hours after the ground campaign started , on 28 February , President Bush declared a ceasefire , and he also declared that Kuwait had been liberated . The end of active hostilities Main article : 1991 uprisings in Iraq Civilians and coalition military forces wave Kuwaiti and Saudi Arabian flags as they celebrate the retreat of Iraqi forces from Kuwait .", "37": "Persian Gulf Veterans National Medal of the US military In coalition - occupied Iraqi territory , a peace conference was held where a ceasefire agreement was negotiated and signed by both sides . At the conference , Iraq was authorized to fly armed helicopters on their side of the temporary border , ostensibly for government transit due to the damage done to civilian infrastructure . Soon after , these helicopters and much of Iraq 's military were used to fight an uprising in the south . The rebellions were encouraged by an airing of `` The Voice of Free Iraq '' on 2 February 1991 , which was broadcast from a CIA - run radio station out of Saudi Arabia . The Arabic service of the Voice of America supported the uprising by stating that the rebellion was well supported , and that they soon would be liberated from Saddam . In the North , Kurdish leaders took American statements that they would support an uprising to heart , and began fighting , hoping to trigger a coup d'état . However , when no US support came , Iraqi generals remained loyal to Saddam and brutally crushed the Kurdish uprising . Millions of Kurds fled across the mountains to Turkey and Kurdish areas of Iran . These events later resulted in no - fly zones being established in northern and southern Iraq . In Kuwait , the Emir was restored , and suspected Iraqi collaborators were repressed . Eventually , over 400,000 people were expelled from the country , including a large number of Palestinians , because of PLO support of Saddam . Yasser Arafat did n't apologize for his support of Iraq , but after his death , the Fatah under Mahmoud Abbas ' authority formally apologized in 2004 . There was some criticism of the Bush administration , as they chose to allow Saddam to remain in power instead of pushing on to capture Baghdad and overthrowing his government . In their co-written 1998 book , A World Transformed , Bush and Brent Scowcroft argued that such a course would have fractured the alliance , and would have had many unnecessary political and human costs associated with it . In 1992 , the US Defense Secretary during the war , Dick Cheney , made the same point : I would guess if we had gone in there , we would still have forces in Baghdad today . We 'd be running the country . We would not have been able to get everybody out and bring everybody home .", "38": "And the final point that I think needs to be made is this question of casualties . I do n't think you could have done all of that without significant additional US casualties , and while everybody was tremendously impressed with the low cost of the ( 1991 ) conflict , for the 146 Americans who were killed in action and for their families , it was n't a cheap war . And the question in my mind is , how many additional American casualties is Saddam ( Hussein ) worth ? And the answer is , not that damned many . So , I think we got it right , both when we decided to expel him from Kuwait , but also when the President made the decision that we 'd achieved our objectives and we were not going to go get bogged down in the problems of trying to take over and govern Iraq . Instead of a greater involvement of its own military , the US hoped that Saddam would be overthrown in an internal coup d'état . The CIA used its assets in Iraq to organize a revolt , but the Iraqi government defeated the effort . On 10 March 1991 , 540,000 US troops began moving out of the Persian Gulf . Coalition involvement Coalition troops from Egypt , Syria , Oman , France and Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm Main article : Coalition of the Gulf War Coalition members included Argentina , Australia , Bahrain , Bangladesh , Belgium , Canada , Czechoslovakia , Denmark , Egypt , France , Greece , Honduras , Hungary , Italy , Kuwait , Malaysia , Morocco , Netherlands , New Zealand , Niger , Norway , Oman , Pakistan , Philippines , Poland , Portugal , Qatar , Romania , Saudi Arabia , Senegal , South Korea , Spain , Sweden , Syria , Turkey , United Arab Emirates , United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland , and the United States of America . Germany and Japan provided financial assistance and donated military hardware , although they did not send direct military assistance . This later became known as checkbook diplomacy . Australia HMAS Sydney in the Persian Gulf in 1991 Main article : Australian contribution to the 1991 Gulf War Australia contributed a Naval Task Group , which formed part of the multi-national fleet in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman , under Operation Damask . In addition , medical teams were deployed aboard a US hospital ship , and a naval clearance diving team took part in de-mining Kuwait 's port facilities following the end of combat operations .", "39": "Australian forces experienced a number of incidents in the first number of weeks of the Desert Storm Campaign including the detection of significant air threats from Iraq as a part of the outer perimeter of Battle Force Zulu ; the detection of free sea floating mines and assistance to the aircraft carrier USS Midway . The Australian Task Force was also placed at great risk with regard to the sea mine threat , with HMAS Brisbane narrowly avoiding a mine by a small distance . The Australians played a significant role in enforcing the sanctions put in place against Iraq following Kuwait 's invasion . Following the war 's end , Australia deployed a medical unit on Operation Habitat to northern Iraq as part of Operation Provide Comfort . Argentina Argentine Navy Alouette III helicopter onboard USNS Comfort , February 1991 Argentina was the only Latin American country to participate in the 1991 Gulf War sending a destroyer , ARA Almirante Brown ( D - 10 ) , a corvette , ARA Spiro ( P - 43 ) ( later replaced by another corvette , ARA Rosales ( P - 42 ) ) and a supply ship ( ARA Bahía San Blas ( B - 4 ) ) to participate on the United Nations blockade and sea control effort of the Persian Gulf . The success of `` Operación Alfil '' ( English : `` Operation Bishop '' ) as it was known , with more than 700 interceptions and 25,000 miles sailed in the theatre of operations helped to overcome the so - called `` Malvinas syndrome '' . Argentina was later classified as major non-NATO ally due to her contributions during the war . Canada Canadian CF - 18 Hornets participated in combat during the Gulf War . See also : Operation FRICTION Canada was one of the first countries to condemn Iraq 's invasion of Kuwait , and it quickly agreed to join the US - led coalition . In August 1990 , Prime Minister Brian Mulroney committed the Canadian Forces to deploy a Naval Task Group . The destroyers HMCS Terra Nova and HMCS Athabaskan joined the maritime interdiction force supported by the supply ship HMCS Protecteur in Operation Friction . The Canadian Task Group led the coalition 's maritime logistics forces in the Persian Gulf . A fourth ship , HMCS Huron , arrived in - theater after hostilities had ceased and was the first allied ship to visit Kuwait .", "40": "Following the UN-authorized use of force against Iraq , the Canadian Forces deployed a CF - 18 Hornet and CH - 124 Sea King squadron with support personnel , as well as a field hospital to deal with casualties from the ground war . When the air war began , the CF - 18s were integrated into the coalition force and were tasked with providing air cover and attacking ground targets . This was the first time since the Korean War that Canada 's military had participated in offensive combat operations . The only CF - 18 Hornet to record an official victory during the conflict was an aircraft involved in the beginning of the Battle of Bubiyan against the Iraqi Navy . The Canadian Commander in the Middle East was Commodore Kenneth J. Summers . France French and American soldiers inspecting an Iraqi Type 69 tank destroyed by the French Division Daguet during Operation Desert Storm The second largest European contingent was from France , which committed 18,000 troops . Operating on the left flank of the US XVIII Airborne Corps , the French Army force was the Division Daguet , including troops from the French Foreign Legion . Initially , the French operated independently under national command and control , but coordinated closely with the Americans ( via CENTCOM ) and Saudis . In January , the Division was placed under the tactical control of the XVIII Airborne Corps . France also deployed several combat aircraft and naval units . The French called their contribution Opération Daguet . United Kingdom Main article : Battle of Norfolk British Army Challenger 1 main battle tank during Operation Desert Storm The United Kingdom committed the largest contingent of any European state that participated in the war 's combat operations . Operation Granby was the code name for the operations in the Persian Gulf . British Army regiments ( mainly with the 1st Armoured Division ) , Royal Air Force squadrons and Royal Navy vessels were mobilized in the Persian Gulf . The Royal Air Force , using various aircraft , operated from airbases in Saudi Arabia . The United Kingdom played a major role in the Battle of Norfolk where its forces destroyed over 200 Iraqi tanks and a large quantity of other vehicles . After 48 hours of combat the British 1st Armoured Division destroyed or isolated four Iraqi infantry divisions ( the 26th , 48th , 31st , and 25th ) and overran the Iraqi 52nd Armored Division in several sharp engagements .", "41": "Chief Royal Navy vessels deployed to the Persian Gulf included Broadsword - class frigates , and Sheffield - class destroyers , other R.N. and R.F.A. ships were also deployed . The light aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal was deployed to the Mediterranean Sea . Special operations forces were deployed in the form of several SAS squadrons . A British Challenger 1 achieved the longest range confirmed tank kill of the war , destroying an Iraqi tank with an armour - piercing fin - stabilized discarding - sabot ( APFSDS ) round fired over a distance of 4,700 metres ( 2.9 mi ) -- the longest tank - on - tank kill shot recorded . Casualties Civilian Over 1,000 Kuwaiti civilians were killed by Iraqis . More than 600 Kuwaitis went missing during Iraq 's occupation , and approximately 375 remains were found in mass graves in Iraq . The increased importance of air attacks from both coalition warplanes and cruise missiles led to controversy over the number of civilian deaths caused during Desert Storm 's initial stages . Within Desert Storm 's first 24 hours , more than 1,000 sorties were flown , many against targets in Baghdad . The city was the target of heavy bombing , as it was the seat of power for Saddam and the Iraqi forces ' command and control . This ultimately led to civilian casualties . In one noted incident , two USAF stealth planes bombed a bunker in Amiriyah , causing the deaths of 408 Iraqi civilians who were in the shelter . Scenes of burned and mutilated bodies were subsequently broadcast , and controversy arose over the bunker 's status , with some stating that it was a civilian shelter , while others contended that it was a center of Iraqi military operations , and that the civilians had been deliberately moved there to act as human shields . Saddam 's government gave high civilian casualty figures in order to draw support from Islamic countries . The Iraqi government claimed that 2,300 civilians died during the air campaign . According to the Project on Defense Alternatives study , 3,664 Iraqi civilians were killed in the conflict . An investigation by Beth Osborne Daponte estimated total civilian fatalities at about 3,500 from bombing , and some 100,000 from the war 's other effects .", "42": "Iraqi The exact number of Iraqi combat casualties is unknown , but is believed to have been heavy . Some estimate that Iraq sustained between 20,000 and 35,000 fatalities . A report commissioned by the US Air Force , estimated 10,000 -- 12,000 Iraqi combat deaths in the air campaign , and as many as 10,000 casualties in the ground war . This analysis is based on Iraqi prisoner of war reports . According to the Project on Defense Alternatives study , between 20,000 and 26,000 Iraqi military personnel were killed in the conflict while 75,000 others were wounded .

The Department of Defense reports that US forces suffered 148 battle - related deaths ( 35 to friendly fire ) , with one pilot listed as MIA ( his remains were found and identified in August 2009 ) . A further 145 Americans died in non-combat accidents . The UK suffered 47 deaths ( nine to friendly fire , all by US forces ) , France nine , and the other countries , not including Kuwait , suffered 37 deaths ( 18 Saudis , one Egyptian , six UAE and three Qataris ) . At least 605 Kuwaiti soldiers were still missing 10 years after their capture . The largest single loss of life among coalition forces happened on 25 February 1991 , when an Iraqi Al Hussein missile hit a US military barrack in Dhahran , Saudi Arabia , killing 28 US Army Reservists from Pennsylvania . In all , 190 coalition troops were killed by Iraqi fire during the war , 113 of whom were American , out of a total of 358 coalition deaths . Another 44 soldiers were killed and 57 wounded by friendly fire . 145 soldiers died of exploding munitions or non-combat accidents .", "43": "The largest accident among coalition forces happened on 21 March 1991 , a Royal Saudi Air Force C - 130H crashed in heavy smoke on approach to Ras Al - Mishab Airport , Saudi Arabia . 92 Senegalese soldiers and six Saudi crew members were killed . The number of coalition wounded in combat was 776 , including 458 Americans . 190 coalition troops were killed by Iraqi combatants , the rest of the 379 coalition deaths being from friendly fire or accidents . This number was much lower than expected . Among the American dead were three female soldiers . Friendly fire While the death toll among coalition forces engaging Iraqi combatants was very low , a substantial number of deaths were caused by accidental attacks from other Allied units . Of the 148 US troops who died in battle , 24 % were killed by friendly fire , a total of 35 service personnel . A further 11 died in detonations of coalition munitions . Nine British military personnel were killed in a friendly fire incident when a USAF A-10 Thunderbolt II destroyed a group of two Warrior IFVs . Controversies Gulf War illness Main article : Gulf War syndrome Many returning coalition soldiers reported illnesses following their action in the war , a phenomenon known as Gulf War syndrome or Gulf War illness . Common symptoms that were reported are chronic fatigue , Fibromyalgia , and Gastrointestinal disorder . There has been widespread speculation and disagreement about the causes of the illness and the reported birth defects . Researchers found that infants born to male veterans of the 1991 war had higher rates of two types of heart valve defects . Gulf War veterans ' children born after the war had a certain kidney defect that was not found in Gulf War veterans ' children born before the war . Researchers have said that they did not have enough information to link birth defects with exposure to toxic substances . Some factors considered as possibilities include exposure to depleted uranium , chemical weapons , anthrax vaccines given to deploying soldiers , and / or infectious diseases . Major Michael Donnelly , a USAF officer during the War , helped publicize the syndrome and advocated for veterans ' rights in this regard . Effects of depleted uranium Approximate area and major clashes in which DU rounds were used Main article : Depleted uranium § Health considerations Depleted uranium was used in the war in tank kinetic energy penetrators and 20 -- 30 mm cannon ordnance .", "44": "Significant controversy regarding the long term safety of depleted uranium exists , although detractors claim pyrophoric , genotoxic , and teratogenic heavy metal effects . Many have cited its use during the war as a contributing factor to a number of instances of health issues in the conflict 's veterans and surrounding civilian populations . However , scientific opinion on the risk is mixed . Depleted uranium has 40 % less radioactivity than natural uranium , but the negative effects should not be overlooked . Some say that depleted uranium is not a significant health hazard unless it is taken into the body . External exposure to radiation from depleted uranium is generally not a major concern because the alpha particles emitted by its isotopes travel only a few centimeters in air or can be stopped by a sheet of paper . Also , the uranium - 235 that remains in depleted uranium emits only a small amount of low - energy gamma radiation . However , if allowed to enter the body , depleted uranium , like natural uranium , has the potential for both chemical and radiological toxicity with the two important target organs being the kidneys and the lungs . Highway of death Main article : Highway of Death On the night of 26 -- 27 February 1991 , some Iraqi forces began leaving Kuwait on the main highway north of Al Jahra in a column of some 1,400 vehicles . A patrolling E-8 Joint STARS aircraft observed the retreating forces and relayed the information to the DDM - 8 air operations center in Riyadh , Saudi Arabia . These vehicles and the retreating soldiers were subsequently attacked by two A-10 aircraft , resulting in a 60 km stretch of highway strewn with debris -- the Highway of Death . New York Times reporter Maureen Dowd wrote , `` With the Iraqi leader facing military defeat , Mr. Bush decided that he would rather gamble on a violent and potentially unpopular ground war than risk the alternative : an imperfect settlement hammered out by the Soviets and Iraqis that world opinion might accept as tolerable . '' Chuck Horner , Commander of US and allied air operations , has written : ( By February 26 ) , the Iraqis totally lost heart and started to evacuate occupied Kuwait , but airpower halted the caravan of Iraqi Army and plunderers fleeing toward Basra . This event was later called by the media `` The Highway of Death . ''", "45": "There were certainly a lot of dead vehicles , but not so many dead Iraqis . They 'd already learned to scamper off into the desert when our aircraft started to attack . Nevertheless , some people back home wrongly chose to believe we were cruelly and unusually punishing our already whipped foes . ( ... ) By February 27 , talk had turned toward terminating the hostilities . Kuwait was free . We were not interested in governing Iraq . So the question became `` How do we stop the killing . '' Bulldozer assault An armored bulldozer similar to the ones used in the attack Another incident during the war highlighted the question of large - scale Iraqi combat deaths . This was the `` bulldozer assault '' , wherein two brigades from the US 1st Infantry Division ( Mechanized ) were faced with a large and complex trench network , as part of the heavily fortified `` Saddam Hussein Line '' . After some deliberation , they opted to use anti-mine plows mounted on tanks and combat earthmovers to simply plow over and bury alive the defending Iraqi soldiers . Not a single American was killed during the attack . Reporters were banned from witnessing the attack , near the neutral zone that touches the border between Saudi Arabia and Iraq . Every American in the assault was inside an armored vehicle . One newspaper story reported that US commanders estimated thousands of Iraqi soldiers surrendered , escaping live burial during the two - day assault 24 -- 26 February 1991 . Patrick Day Sloyan of Newsday reported , `` Bradley Fighting Vehicles and Vulcan armored carriers straddled the trench lines and fired into the Iraqi soldiers as the tanks covered them with mounds of sand . ' I came through right after the lead company , ' ( Col. Anthony ) Moreno said . ' What you saw was a bunch of buried trenches with peoples ' arms and things sticking out of them ... ' '' However , after the war , the Iraqi government said that only 44 bodies were found . In his book The Wars Against Saddam , John Simpson alleges that US forces attempted to cover up the incident . After the incident , the commander of the 1st Brigade said : `` I know burying people like that sounds pretty nasty , but it would be even nastier if we had to put our troops in the trenches and clean them out with bayonets . ''", "46": "Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney did not mention the First Division 's tactics in an interim report to Congress on Operation Desert Storm . In the report , Cheney acknowledged that 457 enemy soldiers were buried during the ground war . Palestinian exodus from Kuwait Main article : Palestinian exodus from Kuwait ( Gulf War ) A Palestinian exodus from Kuwait took place during and after the Gulf War . During the Gulf War , more than 200,000 Palestinians voluntarily fled Kuwait during the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait due to harassment and intimidation by Iraqi security forces , in addition to getting fired from work by Iraqi authority figures in Kuwait . After the Gulf War , the Kuwaiti authorities forcibly pressured nearly 200,000 Palestinians to leave Kuwait in 1991 . Kuwait 's policy , which led to this exodus , was a response to alignment of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and the PLO with Saddam Hussein . The Palestinians who fled Kuwait were Jordanian citizens . In 2013 , there were 280,000 Jordanian citizens of Palestinian origin in Kuwait . In 2012 , 80,000 Palestinians ( without Jordanian citizenship ) lived in Kuwait . Saudi Arabia expelled Yemeni workers after Yemen supported Saddam during the Gulf War .", "47": "Coalition bombing of Iraq 's civilian infrastructure In the 23 June 1991 edition of The Washington Post , reporter Bart Gellman wrote : `` Many of the targets were chosen only secondarily to contribute to the military defeat of Iraq ... Military planners hoped the bombing would amplify the economic and psychological impact of international sanctions on Iraqi society ... They deliberately did great harm to Iraq 's ability to support itself as an industrial society ... '' In the Jan / Feb 1995 edition of Foreign Affairs , French diplomat Eric Rouleau wrote : `` ( T ) he Iraqi people , who were not consulted about the invasion , have paid the price for their government 's madness ... Iraqis understood the legitimacy of a military action to drive their army from Kuwait , but they have had difficulty comprehending the Allied rationale for using air power to systematically destroy or cripple Iraqi infrastructure and industry : electric power stations ( 92 percent of installed capacity destroyed ) , refineries ( 80 percent of production capacity ) , petrochemical complexes , telecommunications centers ( including 135 telephone networks ) , bridges ( more than 100 ) , roads , highways , railroads , hundreds of locomotives and boxcars full of goods , radio and television broadcasting stations , cement plants , and factories producing aluminum , textiles , electric cables , and medical supplies . '' However , the UN subsequently spent billions rebuilding hospitals , schools , and water purification facilities throughout the country . Abuse of coalition POWs During the conflict , coalition aircrew shot down over Iraq were displayed as prisoners of war on TV , most with visible signs of abuse . Amongst several testimonies to poor treatment , USAF Captain Richard Storr was allegededly tortured by Iraqis during the Persian Gulf War . Iraqi secret police broke his nose , dislocated his shoulder and punctured his eardrum . Royal Air Force Tornado crew John Nichol and John Peters have both alleged that they were tortured during this time . Nichol and Peters were forced to make statements against the war in front of television cameras . Members of British Special Air Service Bravo Two Zero were captured while providing information about an Iraqi supply line of Scud missiles to coalition forces . Only one , Chris Ryan , evaded capture while the group 's other surviving members were violently tortured .", "48": "Flight surgeon ( later General ) Rhonda Cornum was raped by one of her captors after the Black Hawk helicopter in which she was riding was shot down while searching for a downed F - 16 pilot . Operation southern Watch Main article : Operation Southern Watch Since the war , the US has had a continued presence of 5,000 troops stationed in Saudi Arabia -- a figure that rose to 10,000 during the 2003 conflict in Iraq . Operation Southern Watch enforced the no - fly zones over southern Iraq set up after 1991 ; oil exports through the Persian Gulf 's shipping lanes were protected by the Bahrain - based US Fifth Fleet . Since Saudi Arabia houses Mecca and Medina , Islam 's holiest sites , many Muslims were upset at the permanent military presence . The continued presence of US troops in Saudi Arabia after the war was one of the stated motivations behind the 11 September terrorist attacks , the Khobar Towers bombing , and the date chosen for the 1998 US embassy bombings ( 7 August ) , which was eight years to the day that US troops were sent to Saudi Arabia . Osama bin Laden interpreted the Islamic prophet Muhammad as banning the `` permanent presence of infidels in Arabia '' . In 1996 , bin Laden issued a fatwa , calling for US troops to leave Saudi Arabia . In a December 1999 interview with Rahimullah Yusufzai , bin Laden said he felt that Americans were `` too near to Mecca '' and considered this a provocation to the entire Islamic world . Sanctions Main articles : United Nations Security Council Resolution 661 and Iraq sanctions Wikisource has original text related to this article : United Nations Security Council Resolution 661 On 6 August 1990 , after Iraq 's invasion of Kuwait , the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 661 which imposed economic sanctions on Iraq , providing for a full trade embargo , excluding medical supplies , food and other items of humanitarian necessity , these to be determined by the Council 's sanctions committee . From 1991 until 2003 , the effects of government policy and sanctions regime led to hyperinflation , widespread poverty and malnutrition . During the late 1990s , the UN considered relaxing the sanctions imposed because of the hardships suffered by ordinary Iraqis . Studies dispute the number of people who died in south and central Iraq during the years of the sanctions .", "49": "Draining of the Qurna Marshes Main article : Draining of the Mesopotamian Marshes The draining of the Qurna Marshes was an irrigation project in Iraq during and immediately after the war , to drain a large area of marshes in the Tigris -- Euphrates river system . Formerly covering an area of around 3,000 square kilometers , the large complex of wetlands were almost completely emptied of water , and the local Shi'ite population relocated , following the war and 1991 uprisings . By 2000 , United Nations Environment Programme estimated that 90 % of the marshlands had disappeared , causing desertification of over 7,500 square miles ( 19,000 km ) . The draining of the Qurna Marshes also called The Draining of the Mesopotamian Marshes occurred in Iraq and to a smaller degree in Iran between the 1950s and 1990s to clear large areas of the marshes in the Tigris - Euphrates river system . Formerly covering an area of around 20,000 km ( 7,700 sq mi ) , the large complex of wetlands was 90 % drained prior to the 2003 Invasion of Iraq . The marshes are typically divided into three main sub-marshes , the Hawizeh , Central , and Hammar Marshes and all three were drained at different times for different reasons . Initial draining of the Central Marshes was intended to reclaim land for agriculture but later all three marshes would become a tool of war and revenge . Many international organizations such as the UN Human Rights Commission , the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq , the Wetlands International , and Middle East Watch have described the project as a political attempt to force the Marsh Arabs out of the area through water diversion tactics . Oil spill Main article : Gulf War oil spill On 23 January , Iraq dumped 400 million US gallons ( 1,500,000 m ) of crude oil into the Persian Gulf , causing the largest offshore oil spill in history at that time . It was reported as a deliberate natural resources attack to keep US Marines from coming ashore ( Missouri and Wisconsin had shelled Failaka Island during the war to reinforce the idea that there would be an amphibious assault attempt ) .", "50": "About 30 -- 40 % of this came from allied raids on Iraqi coastal targets . Kuwaiti oil fires Main article : Kuwaiti oil fires See also : Environmental impact of war Oil well fires rage outside Kuwait City in 1991 The Kuwaiti oil fires were caused by the Iraqi military setting fire to 700 oil wells as part of a scorched earth policy while retreating from Kuwait in 1991 after conquering the country but being driven out by coalition forces . The fires started in January and February 1991 , and the last one was extinguished by November . The resulting fires burned out of control because of the dangers of sending in firefighting crews . Land mines had been placed in areas around the oil wells , and a military cleaning of the areas was necessary before the fires could be put out . Somewhere around 6 million barrels ( 950,000 m ) of oil were lost each day . Eventually , privately contracted crews extinguished the fires , at a total cost of US $1.5 billion to Kuwait . By that time , however , the fires had burned for approximately 10 months , causing widespread pollution . Cost The cost of the war to the United States was calculated by the US Congress to be $61.1 billion . About $52 billion of that amount was paid by other countries : $36 billion by Kuwait , Saudi Arabia and other Arab states of the Persian Gulf ; $16 billion by Germany and Japan ( which sent no combat forces due to their constitutions ) . About 25 % of Saudi Arabia 's contribution was paid in the form of in - kind services to the troops , such as food and transportation . US troops represented about 74 % of the combined force , and the global cost was therefore higher . Effect on developing countries Apart from the impact on Arab States of the Persian Gulf , the resulting economic disruptions after the crisis affected many states . The Overseas Development Institute ( ODI ) undertook a study in 1991 to assess the effects on developing states and the international community 's response . A briefing paper finalized on the day that the conflict ended draws on their findings which had two main conclusions : Many developing states were severely affected and while there has been a considerable response to the crisis , the distribution of assistance was highly selective .", "51": "The ODI factored in elements of `` cost '' which included oil imports , remittance flows , re-settlement costs , loss of export earnings and tourism . For Egypt , the cost totaled $1 billion , 3 % of GDP . Yemen had a cost of $830 million , 10 % of GDP , while it cost Jordan $1.8 billion , 32 % of GDP . International response to the crisis on developing states came with the channeling of aid through The Gulf Crisis Financial Co-ordination Group . They were 24 states , comprising most of the OECD countries plus some Gulf states : Saudi Arabia , United Arab Emirates , Qatar and Kuwait . The members of this group agreed to disperse $14 billion in development assistance . The World Bank responded by speeding up the disbursement of existing project and adjustment loans . The International Monetary Fund adopted two lending facilities -- the Enhanced Structural Adjustment Facility ( ESAF ) and the Compensatory & Contingency Financing Facility ( CCFF ) . The European Community offered $2 billion in assistance . Media coverage The examples and perspective in this section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject . You may improve this article , discuss the issue on the talk page , or create a new article , as appropriate . ( January 2010 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Main article : Media coverage of the Gulf War The war was heavily televised . For the first time , people all over the world were able to watch live pictures of missiles hitting their targets and fighters departing from aircraft carriers . Allied forces were keen to demonstrate their weapons ' accuracy . In the United States , the `` big three '' network anchors led the war 's network news coverage : ABC 's Peter Jennings , CBS 's Dan Rather , and NBC 's Tom Brokaw were anchoring their evening newscasts when air strikes began on 16 January 1991 . ABC News correspondent Gary Shepard , reporting live from Baghdad , told Jennings of the city 's quietness . But , moments later , Shepard was back on the air as flashes of light were seen on the horizon and tracer fire was heard on the ground . On CBS , viewers were watching a report from correspondent Allen Pizzey , who was also reporting from Baghdad , when the war began .", "52": "Rather , after the report was finished , announced that there were unconfirmed reports of flashes in Baghdad and heavy air traffic at bases in Saudi Arabia . On the NBC Nightly News , correspondent Mike Boettcher reported unusual air activity in Dhahran , Saudi Arabia . Moments later , Brokaw announced to his viewers that the air attack had begun . Still , it was CNN whose coverage gained the most popularity and indeed its wartime coverage is often cited as one of the landmark events in the network 's history , ultimately leading to the establishment of CNN International . CNN correspondents John Holliman and Peter Arnett and CNN anchor Bernard Shaw relayed audio reports from Baghdad 's Al - Rashid Hotel as the air strikes began . The network had previously convinced the Iraqi government to allow installation of a permanent audio circuit in their makeshift bureau . When the telephones of all of the other Western TV correspondents went dead during the bombing , CNN was the only service able to provide live reporting . After the initial bombing , Arnett remained behind and was , for a time , the only American TV correspondent reporting from Iraq . In the United Kingdom , the BBC devoted the FM portion of its national speech radio station BBC Radio 4 to an 18 - hour rolling news format creating Radio 4 News FM . The station was short lived , ending shortly after President Bush declared the ceasefire and Kuwait 's liberation . However , it paved the way for the later introduction of Radio Five Live . Two BBC journalists , John Simpson and Bob Simpson ( no relation ) , defied their editors and remained in Baghdad to report on the war 's progress . They were responsible for a report which included an `` infamous cruise missile that travelled down a street and turned left at a traffic light . '' Newspapers all over the world also covered the war and Time magazine published a special issue dated 28 January 1991 , the headline `` War in the Gulf '' emblazoned on the cover over a picture of Baghdad taken as the war began . US policy regarding media freedom was much more restrictive than in the Vietnam War . The policy had been spelled out in a Pentagon document entitled Annex Foxtrot . Most of the press information came from briefings organized by the military . Only selected journalists were allowed to visit the front lines or conduct interviews with soldiers .", "53": "Those visits were always conducted in the presence of officers , and were subject to both prior approval by the military and censorship afterward . This was ostensibly to protect sensitive information from being revealed to Iraq . This policy was heavily influenced by the military 's experience with the Vietnam War , in which public opposition within the US grew throughout the war 's course . It was not only the limitation of information in the Middle East ; media were also restricting what was shown about the war with more graphic depictions like Ken Jarecke 's image of a burnt Iraqi soldier being pulled from the American AP wire whereas in Europe it was given extensive coverage . At the same time , the war 's coverage was new in its instantaneousness . About halfway through the war , Iraq 's government decided to allow live satellite transmissions from the country by Western news organizations , and US journalists returned en masse to Baghdad . NBC 's Tom Aspell , ABC 's Bill Blakemore , and CBS News ' Betsy Aaron filed reports , subject to acknowledged Iraqi censorship . Throughout the war , footage of incoming missiles was broadcast almost immediately . A British crew from CBS News , David Green and Andy Thompson , equipped with satellite transmission equipment , traveled with the front line forces and , having transmitted live TV pictures of the fighting en route , arrived the day before the forces in Kuwait City , broadcasting live television from the city and covering the entrance of the Arab forces the next day . Alternative media outlets provided views in opposition to the war . Deep Dish Television compiled segments from independent producers in the US and abroad , and produced a 10 - hour series that was distributed internationally , called The Gulf Crisis TV Project . The series ' first program War , Oil and Power was compiled and released in 1990 , before the war broke out . News World Order was the title of another program in the series ; it focused on the media 's complicity in promoting the war , as well as Americans ' reactions to the media coverage . In San Francisco , as a local example , Paper Tiger Television West produced a weekly cable television show with highlights of mass demonstrations , artists ' actions , lectures , and protests against mainstream media coverage at newspaper offices and television stations . Local media outlets in cities across the country screened similar oppositional media .", "54": "The organization Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting ( FAIR ) critically analyzed media coverage during the war in various articles and books , such as the 1991 Gulf War Coverage : The Worst Censorship was at Home . Technology The USS Missouri launches a Tomahawk missile . The Gulf War was the last conflict in which battleships were deployed in a combat role ( as of 2017 ) Precision - guided munitions were heralded as key in allowing military strikes to be made with a minimum of civilian casualties compared to previous wars , although they were not used as often as more traditional , less accurate bombs . Specific buildings in downtown Baghdad could be bombed while journalists in their hotels watched cruise missiles fly by . Precision - guided munitions amounted to approximately 7.4 % of all bombs dropped by the coalition . Other bombs included cluster bombs , which disperse numerous submunitions , and daisy cutters , 15,000 - pound bombs which can disintegrate everything within hundreds of yards . Global Positioning System ( GPS ) units were relatively new at the time and were important in enabling coalition units to easily navigate across the desert . Since military GPS receivers were not available for most troops , many used commercially available units . To permit these to be used to best effect , the `` selective availability '' feature of the GPS system was turned off for the duration of Desert Storm , allowing these commercial receivers to provide the same precision as the military equipment . Airborne Warning and Control System ( AWACS ) and satellite communication systems were also important . Two examples of this are the US Navy 's Grumman E-2 Hawkeye and the US Air Force 's Boeing E-3 Sentry . Both were used in command and control area of operations . These systems provided essential communications links between air , ground , and naval forces . It is one of several reasons why coalition forces dominated the air war . American - made color photocopiers were used to produce some of Iraq 's battle plans . Some of the copiers contained concealed high - tech transmitters that revealed their positions to American electronic warfare aircraft , leading to more precise bombings . Scud and Patriot missiles Military personnel examine the remains of a Scud The role of Iraq 's Scud missiles featured prominently in the war .", "55": "Scud is a tactical ballistic missile that the Soviet Union developed and deployed among the forward deployed Red Army divisions in East Germany . The role of the Scuds which were armed with nuclear and chemical warheads was to destroy command , control , and communication facilities and delay full mobilization of Western German and Allied Forces in Germany . It could also be used to directly target ground forces . Scud missiles utilize inertial guidance which operates for the duration that the engines operate . Iraq used Scud missiles , launching them into both Saudi Arabia and Israel . Some missiles caused extensive casualties , while others caused little damage . Concerns were raised of possible chemical or biological warheads on these rockets , but if they existed , they were not used . The US Patriot missile was used in combat for the first time . The US military claimed a high effectiveness against Scuds at the time , but later analysis gives figures as low as 9 % , with 45 % of the 158 Patriot launches being against debris or false targets . The Dutch Ministry of Defense , which also sent Patriot missiles to protect civilians in Israel and Turkey , later disputed the higher claim . Further , there is at least one incident of a software error causing a Patriot missile 's failure to engage an incoming Scud , resulting in deaths . Both the US Army and the missile manufacturers maintained the Patriot delivered a `` miracle performance '' in the Gulf War .", "56": "See also Iraq portal United States portal Soviet Union portal War portal 1990s portal 1973 Samita border skirmish War on Terror War in Afghanistan ( 2001 -- present ) United Nations Iraq -- Kuwait Observation Mission ( April 1991 -- October 2003 ) Kuwait -- Iraq barrier Gulf War military awards Iraq disarmament timeline 1990 -- 2003 Iraq -- Russia relations Lion of Babylon ( tank ) List of Gulf War military equipment Operation Simoom Organization of United States Air Force Units in the Gulf War SIPRI Arms Transfers Database , Iraq 1973 -- 1990 Timeline of the Gulf War History of the M1 Abrams Regional wars : List of modern conflicts in the Middle East General : Loss of Strength Gradient Military history of the United States Post -- World War II air - to - air combat losses Games : Conflict : Desert Storm Conflict : Desert Storm II Gulf War : Operation Desert Hammer Notes Jump up ^ The numbering of Persian Gulf conflicts depends on whether the Iran -- Iraq War ( 1980 -- 1988 ) is referred to as the First ( Persian ) Gulf War ( English language sources prior to the start of the Kuwait war in 1990 usually called it the Gulf War ) , which would make the 1990 war the Second ( Persian ) Gulf War . Different sources may call the conflicts by different names . The name ' Persian Gulf ' is itself a subject of dispute . The start date of the Kuwait War can also be seen as either August 1990 ( when Iraq 's Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait ) or as January 1991 ( the start of Operation Desert Storm , when the US - led coalition forced Iraq out of Kuwait ) , so that the war is also often called the 1991 Gulf War , the 1990 -- 1991 Gulf War , the 1990s Gulf War , etc ...

( July 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Licensing Act 2003 Parliament of the United Kingdom Long title An Act to make provision about the regulation of the sale and supply of alcohol , the provision of entertainment and the provision of late night refreshment , about offences relating to alcohol and for connected purposes . Citation 2003 c 17 Territorial extent England and Wales , except that section 155 ( 1 ) also extends to Northern Ireland and an amendment or repeal contained in Schedule 6 or 7 has the same extent as the enactment to which it relates . Dates Royal assent 10 July 2003 Commencement See section 201 ( 2 ) and the orders made thereunder . Status : Amended Text of statute as originally enacted Revised text of statute as amended The Licensing Act 2003 ( c 17 ) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom . The Act establishes a single integrated scheme for licensing premises in England and Wales ( only ) which are used for the sale or supply of alcohol , to provide regulated entertainment , or to provide late night refreshment . Permission to carry on some or all of these licensable activities is now contained in a single licence -- the premises licence -- replacing several different and complex schemes . Responsibility for issuing licences now rests with local authorities , specifically London boroughs , Metropolitan boroughs , unitary authorities , and district councils , who took over this power from the Justices of the Peace . These authorities are each required to establish a Licensing Committee , which acts in a quasi-judicial capacity under the Act . The powers of the Act came fully into force at midnight at the start of 24 November 2005 .", "1": "Contents ( hide ) 1 Key measures of the Act 2 Licensing Committee 3 Licensing objectives 4 Licensable activities 5 Premises licences 6 Cumulative Impact Policy 7 Personal licences 8 Temporary event notices 9 Children and the Act 10 Reaction to the Act 10.1 Impact on live music 11 Implementation of the Act 12 See also 13 References 14 External links Key measures of the Act ( edit ) Key measures contained in the Act include : Flexible opening hours Flexible opening hours for licensed premises , with the potential for up to 24 hour opening , seven days a week , will now be available . As well as the flexibility , the granting of these new type of licences is to be , for the first time , subject to consideration of the impact on local residents , businesses , and the expert opinion of a range of authorities in relation to the licensing objectives . This flexibility is intended to minimise public disorder resulting from a set closing time whereby numerous intoxicated individuals may leave licensed premises simultaneously at 23 : 00 . It is also an effort to decrease the culture of `` binge - drinking '' . Single premises licences The single integrated premises licence , bringing together the six existing licensing regimes ( for alcohol , public entertainment , cinemas , theatres , late night refreshment houses , and night cafés ) with the intention of cutting down on bureaucracy and simplifying such provision . Personal licences A new system of personal licences relating to the supply of alcohol is to be introduced . This will enable licence holders to move more freely between premises where a premises licence is in force than is currently the case . Licensing Committee ( edit ) Each local authority must set up a Licensing Committee with between ten and fifteen members . It is envisaged that most member level decisions will be made by a sub-committee of three . The Committee can and should have a scheme of delegation for different types of decision ; this means that many applications will be decided by officers . The full Committee is expected to receive monitoring reports . The Committee is regarded as quasi-judicial , and many of the requirements of a normal council committee ( e.g. on access to data ) will not apply .", "2": "The Committee should make its decisions in accordance with the principles of natural justice and with regard to the Human Rights Act 1998 ( Articles 1 , 6 and 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights are likely to be engaged ) . It has been suggested that councillors should not be involved in any way in decisions on premises in their ward , and the Standards Board for England has advised that only councillors who are members of the Committee should have any role in considering applications . Licensing objectives ( edit ) The Act sets out four licensing objectives which must be taken into account when a local authority carries out its functions . They are : the prevention of crime and disorder , public safety , prevention of public nuisance , and the protection of children from harm In Scotland there is a fifth licensing objective which is : protecting and improving public health Licensable activities ( edit ) The Act defines `` licensable activities '' as : the retail sale of alcohol , the supply of alcohol in clubs , the provision of late night refreshment , and the provision of regulated entertainment In turn , `` regulated entertainment '' is defined as : a performance of a play , an exhibition of a film , an indoor sporting event , a boxing or wrestling entertainment ( both indoors and outdoors ) , a performance of live music , any playing of recorded music , or a performance of dance in the presence of an audience ( which may be just one person ) . There are exceptions ( e.g. , Morris dancing and similar ) and refinements ( e.g. , Karaoke is considered to be music ) . `` Late night refreshment '' is defined as the supply of hot food or drink ( that is , food or drink that is either served at , or has been heated on the premises to , a point above ambient temperature ) to the public for consumption , both on or off the premises , between 23 : 00 and 05 : 00 . Premises licences ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( August 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) A premises licence is required for any premises offering licensable activities .", "3": "However , once a licence is granted it is valid until it is either surrendered or lapses in accordance with the Act , in contrast to the predecessor schemes which generally had to be renewed annually . The application for a premises licence requires the completion of an operating schedule and the offering of conditions to be included on the premises licence and a plan of the premises . A premises licence that includes the sale of alcohol must name an individual who holds a personal licence granted under the Act . This person is known as the designated premises supervisor ( DPS ) and must sign a consent form consenting to being named as that DPS . Applicants must serve a copy of the application on the licensing authority ( the council ) , the police , the fire authority , the body of responsible for health and safety enforcement , the body responsible for dealing with pollution ( Environmental Health ) a body responsible for advising on Child Protection issues , the planning authority and the weights and measures / trading standards authority . These bodies are all known as Responsible Authorities . Responsible Authorities are able to make representations to the licensing authority about an application . The application must also be advertised by way of a blue notice displayed on or near to the premises for 28 days and in a local newspaper on one working day within ten working days of making the application . In addition to the Responsible Authorities the Act now allows for any `` other person '' to make representations . If representation is made , the licensing authority must hold a hearing in most cases . After the hearing , the authority can make one of five decisions : to grant the licence with conditions that match the operating schedule ( and conditions can be added ) ; to exclude some licensable activities from the application ; to refuse to accept the person specified as designated premises supervisor ( but only on police advice ) ; to approve different part of the premises for different activities ; or to reject the application entirely . An unsuccessful applicant can appeal to the Magistrates ' Court ; unusually , an interested third party who disagrees with a decision to grant a licence can also appeal against the council 's decision . Any person or responsible authority can apply to the licensing authority for a review of an existing premises licence , with the aim of amending its conditions or revoking it entirely . Cumulative impact policy ( edit ) Although not specifically referred to in the Act , Guidance , provides for the establishment of special areas of cumulative impact .", "4": "This allows Licensing Authorities to designate such an area where there is evidence that accumulation of licensed premises in it may cause one or more of the licensing objectives to be undermined if further licences are granted . `` The effect of adopting a special policy of this kind is to create a rebuttable presumption that applications for new premises licences or club premises certificates or variations that are likely to add to the existing cumulative impact will normally be refused , following relevant representations , unless the applicant can demonstrate in their operating schedule that there will be no negative cumulative impact on one or more of the licensing objectives . '' Personal licences ( edit ) A personal licence allows a person to sell alcohol , or authorise the sale of alcohol , under the authority of a premises license . Anyone can apply for a personal licence to the licensing authority for the area in which they live . They need to show they have a licensing qualification and a criminal record clean of relevant offences . The local authority can only refuse such an application on police advice . The licence lasts indefinitely after changes to legislation where it was required to be renewed every 10 years . Anyone who already had a licence under the previous licensing schemes in their name - typically a pub landlord - was able to get a licence without having to have a qualification ; this was known as the grandfather right . If an applicant does not live within a local authority 's area , they can apply to any authority of their choice . Temporary event notices ( edit ) Any person over 18 can serve the local authority and local police with a temporary event notice ( TEN ) for an event which would normally need a premises licence , but which would be for a maximum period of 168 hours , and would be for a maximum number of 499 people . Examples of events that could be covered by a TEN might be where a pub wants to stay open all weekend for a special occasion , but does not want to apply for , or can not get , a licence allowing this all the time ; or a beer tent in a summer fair . TENs also cover licensing over alcohol to clubs , entertainment or late night refreshment ( serving hot food between 11pm and 5am ) . Currently a notice costs £ 21.00 . TENs must be submitted at least ten working days before an event is due to start ; notice is given to the council responsible for the area to which the event is to be held .", "5": "A copy of this notice must be sent to the police that cover that area and to the Environmental Health department . The police and environmental health have 3 working days to make an objection . Anyone who does not have a personal licence can give only five notices a year , while a personal licence holder can give 50 . A TEN can only be given in respect of the same premises fifteen times in a calendar year . On 25 April 2012 a late TEN was introduced . This can be submitted between five and nine working days before the event and should only be used when unforeseen circumstances lead to short notice . There is no need for permission for a temporary event ; the prospective premises user merely has to formally notify the council and police that the event will take place . So long as the criteria noted above are met ( as well as any others that may apply , for example , if alcohol is being sold , that provisions are in place to stop under 18s from buying it ) and the police have no objections , the event can go ahead . The council can not impose any further conditions , limitations or restrictions . However , if the authority is convinced that any of the above limits will be exceeded , or they uphold a police objection ( which can only be made on the grounds of crime prevention ) , they will issue a counter-notice which has the effect of cancelling the temporary event notice . Children and the Act ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources . Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( July 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Act also makes a few important changes to the current law regarding children and alcohol , although these were not publicised at the time . For instance , a rule allowing children under eighteen years of age to sell alcohol in supermarkets was extended to all licensees , as long as `` the sale or supply has been specifically approved by that or another responsible person '' , thus making it legal for under - 18s to work on a bar . Children working behind bars is however controlled by other legislation such as the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 .", "6": "It was also made a criminal offence for someone under the age of eighteen to attempt to purchase alcohol for the first time in English law , punishable by a fine of up to £ 1,000 ( or level 3 on the standard scale ) . Reaction to the Act ( edit ) The Act has caused some controversy . On one side of the argument is the frustration some British drinkers and many tourists have with the traditional closing time of 23 : 00 , as opposed to the more liberal drinking regulations of continental Europe and further afield . They believe that a liberalisation of the drinking - up time will reduce ' drinking against the clock ' , a precursor to binge drinking . Those against the legislation , on the other hand , believe that binge drinking will increase , as drinkers will have more time to get drunk . Impact on live music ( edit ) The new requirement that there be a licence for the playing of live music in any venue no matter how small has been criticized for reducing the number of places where artists can play to tiny audiences . There have been press stories about how the law unreasonably singles out the playing of musical instruments when compared to other forms of entertainment , such as circus performing . To deal with the concerns raised , the Live Music Forum was set up , chaired by Feargal Sharkey . Its report , issued in July 2007 , reported that overall `` the Licensing Act has had a neutral effect on the UK 's live music scene '' , but recommended there should be more flexibility of the application of the Act on smaller premises . However the introduction of Form 696 by the Metropolitan Police Service as part of the licensing system for live music has been criticised by Sharkey and others for the restrictions imposed on music promoters in London . Implementation of the Act ( edit ) Any premises that had an old - scheme licence were able to apply for that licence to be converted ; provided there was no material change in the use of the premises , the local authority was effectively bound to agree this . Licensees had to apply for this by 6 August 2005 . At that date , it was reported that most pubs had applied , but many off - licences had not . Although the right to `` convert '' current licences expired on 6 August , premises could still apply as `` new '' premises , without benefit of `` grandfather rights '' .", "7": "The new licensing laws came into effect at midnight at the end of Wednesday 23 November 2005 , with old licensing regimes ending and new licences coming into force . In a report on the new legislation in November 2006 , the Institute of Alcohol Studies reported that one year after implementation `` opinions were divided , as expected , leading to the unavoidable polarisation of the debate , increasingly centred upon the misguided notion of ' 24 hour drinking ' . '' On 8 November 2007 the Department for Culture , Media and Sport reported that there were 176,400 licensed premises in England and Wales . Only 5,100 premises have 24 hour licences , most of which ( 65 per cent ) are hotel bars . Only 460 pubs , bars or nightclubs have 24 hour licences .

{ "0": "Pangaea - wikipedia Pangaea Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Pangaea ( disambiguation ) . Map of Pangaea with modern continental outlines Pangaea or Pangea ( / pænˈdʒiːə / ) was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras . It assembled from earlier continental units approximately 335 million years ago , and it began to break apart about 175 million years ago . In contrast to the present Earth and its distribution of continental mass , much of Pangaea was in the southern hemisphere and surrounded by a superocean , Panthalassa . Pangaea was the most recent supercontinent to have existed and the first to be reconstructed by geologists .

Orange labels : ice ages . Also see : Human timeline and Nature timeline The name `` Pangaea / Pangea '' is derived from Ancient Greek pan ( πᾶν , `` all , entire , whole '' ) and Gaia ( Γαῖα , `` Mother Earth , land '' ) .", "1": "The concept that the continents once formed a continuous land mass was first proposed by Alfred Wegener , the originator of the scientific theory of continental drift , in his 1912 publication The Origin of Continents ( Die Entstehung der Kontinente ) . He expanded upon his hypothesis in his 1915 book The Origin of Continents and Oceans ( Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane ) , in which he postulated that , before breaking up and drifting to their present locations , all the continents had formed a single supercontinent that he called the `` Urkontinent '' . The name `` Pangea '' occurs in the 1920 edition of Die Entstehung der Kontinente und Ozeane , but only once , when Wegener refers to the ancient supercontinent as `` the Pangaea of the Carboniferous '' . Wegener used the Germanized form `` Pangäa '' , but the name entered German and English scientific literature ( in 1922 and 1926 , respectively ) in the Latinized form `` Pangaea '' ( of the Greek `` Pangaia '' ) , especially due to a symposium of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists in November 1926 . Formation Appalachian orogeny The forming of supercontinents and their breaking up appears to have been cyclical through Earth 's history . There may have been many others before Pangaea . The fourth - last supercontinent , called Columbia or Nuna , appears to have assembled in the period 2.0 -- 1.8 Ga . Columbia / Nuna broke up and the next supercontinent , Rodinia , formed from the accretion and assembly of its fragments . Rodinia lasted from about 1.1 billion years ago ( Ga ) until about 750 million years ago , but its exact configuration and geodynamic history are not nearly as well understood as those of the later supercontinents , Pannotia and Pangaea . When Rodinia broke up , it split into three pieces : the supercontinent of Proto - Laurasia , the supercontinent of Proto - Gondwana , and the smaller Congo craton . Proto - Laurasia and Proto - Gondwana were separated by the Proto - Tethys Ocean . Next Proto - Laurasia itself split apart to form the continents of Laurentia , Siberia and Baltica .", "2": "Baltica moved to the east of Laurentia , and Siberia moved northeast of Laurentia . The splitting also created two new oceans , the Iapetus Ocean and Paleoasian Ocean . Most of the above masses coalesced again to form the relatively short - lived supercontinent of Pannotia . This supercontinent included large amounts of land near the poles and , near the equator , only a relatively small strip connecting the polar masses . Pannotia lasted until 540 Ma , near the beginning of the Cambrian period and then broke up , giving rise to the continents of Laurentia , Baltica , and the southern supercontinent of Gondwana . In the Cambrian period , the continent of Laurentia , which would later become North America , sat on the equator , with three bordering oceans : the Panthalassic Ocean to the north and west , the Iapetus Ocean to the south and the Khanty Ocean to the east . In the Earliest Ordovician , around 480 Ma , the microcontinent of Avalonia -- a landmass incorporating fragments of what would become eastern Newfoundland , the southern British Isles , and parts of Belgium , northern France , Nova Scotia , New England , South Iberia and northwest Africa -- broke free from Gondwana and began its journey to Laurentia . Baltica , Laurentia , and Avalonia all came together by the end of the Ordovician to form a minor supercontinent called Euramerica or Laurussia , closing the Iapetus Ocean . The collision also resulted in the formation of the northern Appalachians . Siberia sat near Euramerica , with the Khanty Ocean between the two continents . While all this was happening , Gondwana drifted slowly towards the South Pole . This was the first step of the formation of Pangaea . The second step in the formation of Pangaea was the collision of Gondwana with Euramerica . By Silurian time , 440 Ma , Baltica had already collided with Laurentia , forming Euramerica . Avalonia had not yet collided with Laurentia , but as Avalonia inched towards Laurentia , the seaway between them , a remnant of the Iapetus Ocean , was slowly shrinking .", "3": "Meanwhile , southern Europe broke off from Gondwana and began to move towards Euramerica across the newly formed Rheic Ocean . It collided with southern Baltica in the Devonian , though this microcontinent was an underwater plate . The Iapetus Ocean 's sister ocean , the Khanty Ocean , shrank as an island arc from Siberia collided with eastern Baltica ( now part of Euramerica ) . Behind this island arc was a new ocean , the Ural Ocean . By late Silurian time , North and South China split from Gondwana and started to head northward , shrinking the Proto - Tethys Ocean in their path and opening the new Paleo - Tethys Ocean to their south . In the Devonian Period , Gondwana itself headed towards Euramerica , causing the Rheic Ocean to shrink . In the Early Carboniferous , northwest Africa had touched the southeastern coast of Euramerica , creating the southern portion of the Appalachian Mountains , the Meseta Mountains and the Mauritanide Mountains . South America moved northward to southern Euramerica , while the eastern portion of Gondwana ( India , Antarctica and Australia ) headed toward the South Pole from the equator . North and South China were on independent continents . The Kazakhstania microcontinent had collided with Siberia . ( Siberia had been a separate continent for millions of years since the deformation of the supercontinent Pannotia in the Middle Carboniferous . ) Western Kazakhstania collided with Baltica in the Late Carboniferous , closing the Ural Ocean between them and the western Proto - Tethys in them ( Uralian orogeny ) , causing the formation of not only the Ural Mountains but also the supercontinent of Laurasia . This was the last step of the formation of Pangaea . Meanwhile , South America had collided with southern Laurentia , closing the Rheic Ocean and forming the southernmost part of the Appalachians and Ouachita Mountains . By this time , Gondwana was positioned near the South Pole and glaciers were forming in Antarctica , India , Australia , southern Africa and South America . The North China block collided with Siberia by Late Carboniferous time , completely closing the Proto - Tethys Ocean .", "4": "By early Permian time , the Cimmerian plate split from Gondwana and headed towards Laurasia , thus closing the Paleo - Tethys Ocean , but forming a new ocean , the Tethys Ocean , in its southern end . Most of the landmasses were all in one . By the Triassic Period , Pangaea rotated a little and the Cimmerian plate was still travelling across the shrinking Paleo - Tethys , until the Middle Jurassic time . The Paleo - Tethys had closed from west to east , creating the Cimmerian Orogeny . Pangaea , which looked like a C , with the new Tethys Ocean inside the C , had rifted by the Middle Jurassic , and its deformation is explained below . Evidence of existence The distribution of fossils across the continents is one line of evidence pointing to the existence of Pangaea . Fossil evidence for Pangaea includes the presence of similar and identical species on continents that are now great distances apart . For example , fossils of the therapsid Lystrosaurus have been found in South Africa , India and Antarctica , alongside members of the Glossopteris flora , whose distribution would have ranged from the polar circle to the equator if the continents had been in their present position ; similarly , the freshwater reptile Mesosaurus has been found in only localized regions of the coasts of Brazil and West Africa . Additional evidence for Pangaea is found in the geology of adjacent continents , including matching geological trends between the eastern coast of South America and the western coast of Africa . The polar ice cap of the Carboniferous Period covered the southern end of Pangaea . Glacial deposits , specifically till , of the same age and structure are found on many separate continents which would have been together in the continent of Pangaea . Paleomagnetic study of apparent polar wandering paths also support the theory of a supercontinent . Geologists can determine the movement of continental plates by examining the orientation of magnetic minerals in rocks ; when rocks are formed , they take on the magnetic properties of the Earth and indicate in which direction the poles lie relative to the rock . Since the magnetic poles drift about the rotational pole with a period of only a few thousand years , measurements from numerous lavas spanning several thousand years are averaged to give an apparent mean polar position .", "5": "Samples of sedimentary rock and intrusive igneous rock have magnetic orientations that are typically an average of the `` secular variation '' in the orientation of magnetic north because their remanent magnetizations are not acquired instantaneously . Magnetic differences between sample groups whose age varies by millions of years is due to a combination of true polar wander and the drifting of continents . The true polar wander component is identical for all samples , and can be removed , leaving geologists with the portion of this motion that shows continental drift and can be used to help reconstruct earlier continental positions . The continuity of mountain chains provides further evidence for Pangaea . One example of this is the Appalachian Mountains chain which extends from the southeastern United States to the Caledonides of Ireland , Britain , Greenland , and Scandinavia . Rifting and break - up Animation of the rifting of Pangaea There were three major phases in the break - up of Pangaea . The first phase began in the Early - Middle Jurassic ( about 175 Ma ) , when Pangaea began to rift from the Tethys Ocean in the east to the Pacific in the west . The rifting that took place between North America and Africa produced multiple failed rifts . One rift resulted in a new ocean , the North Atlantic Ocean . The Atlantic Ocean did not open uniformly ; rifting began in the north - central Atlantic . The South Atlantic did not open until the Cretaceous when Laurasia started to rotate clockwise and moved northward with North America to the north , and Eurasia to the south . The clockwise motion of Laurasia led much later to the closing of the Tethys Ocean and the widening of the `` Sinus Borealis '' , which later became the Arctic Ocean . Meanwhile , on the other side of Africa and along the adjacent margins of east Africa , Antarctica and Madagascar , new rifts were forming that would lead to the formation of the southwestern Indian Ocean that would open up in the Cretaceous . The second major phase in the break - up of Pangaea began in the Early Cretaceous ( 150 -- 140 Ma ) , when the minor supercontinent of Gondwana separated into multiple continents ( Africa , South America , India , Antarctica , and Australia ) . The subduction at Tethyan Trench probably caused Africa , India and Australia to move northward , causing the opening of a `` South Indian Ocean '' .", "6": "In the Early Cretaceous , Atlantica , today 's South America and Africa , finally separated from eastern Gondwana ( Antarctica , India and Australia ) . Then in the Middle Cretaceous , Gondwana fragmented to open up the South Atlantic Ocean as South America started to move westward away from Africa . The South Atlantic did not develop uniformly ; rather , it rifted from south to north . Also , at the same time , Madagascar and India began to separate from Antarctica and moved northward , opening up the Indian Ocean . Madagascar and India separated from each other 100 -- 90 Ma in the Late Cretaceous . India continued to move northward toward Eurasia at 15 centimeters ( 6 in ) a year ( a plate tectonic record ) , closing the eastern Tethys Ocean , while Madagascar stopped and became locked to the African Plate . New Zealand , New Caledonia and the rest of Zealandia began to separate from Australia , moving eastward toward the Pacific and opening the Coral Sea and Tasman Sea . The third major and final phase of the break - up of Pangaea occurred in the early Cenozoic ( Paleocene to Oligocene ) . Laurasia split when North America / Greenland ( also called Laurentia ) broke free from Eurasia , opening the Norwegian Sea about 60 -- 55 Ma . The Atlantic and Indian Oceans continued to expand , closing the Tethys Ocean . Meanwhile , Australia split from Antarctica and moved quickly northward , just as India had done more than 40 million years before . Australia is currently on a collision course with eastern Asia . Both Australia and India are currently moving northeast at 5 -- 6 centimeters ( 2 -- 3 in ) a year . Antarctica has been near or at the South Pole since the formation of Pangaea about 280 Ma . India started to collide with Asia beginning about 35 Ma , forming the Himalayan orogeny , and also finally closing the Tethys Seaway ; this collision continues today . The African Plate started to change directions , from west to northwest toward Europe , and South America began to move in a northward direction , separating it from Antarctica and allowing complete oceanic circulation around Antarctica for the first time .", "7": "This motion , together with decreasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations , caused a rapid cooling of Antarctica and allowed glaciers to form . This glaciation eventually coalesced into the kilometers - thick ice sheets seen today . Other major events took place during the Cenozoic , including the opening of the Gulf of California , the uplift of the Alps , and the opening of the Sea of Japan . The break - up of Pangaea continues today in the Red Sea Rift and East African Rift . Tectonic plate shift The breakup of Pangaea over time Pangaea 's formation is now commonly explained in terms of plate tectonics . The involvement of plate tectonics in Pangaea 's separation helps to show how it did not separate all at once , but at different times , in sequences . Additionally , after these separations , it has also been discovered that the separated land masses may have also continued to break apart multiple times . The formation of each environment and climate on Pangaea is due to plate tectonics , and thus , it is as a result of these shifts and changes different climatic pressures were placed on the life on Pangaea . Although plate tectonics was paramount in the formation of later land masses , it was also essential in the placement , climate , environments , habitats , and overall structure of Pangaea . What can also be observed in relation to tectonic plates and Pangaea , is the formations to such plates . Mountains and valleys form due to tectonic collisions as well as earthquakes and chasms . Consequentially , this shaped Pangaea and animal adaptations . Furthermore , plate tectonics can contribute to volcanic activity , which is responsible for extinctions and adaptations which have evidently affected life over time , and without doubt on Pangaea . Life Example of an ammonite For the approximately 160 million years Pangaea existed , many species had fruitful times whereas others struggled . The Traversodontidae is an example of such prospering animals , eating a diet of only plants . Plants dependent on spore reproduction had been taken out of the ecosystems , and replaced by the gymnosperm plant , which reproduces through the use of seeds instead . Later on , insects ( beetles , dragonflies , mosquitos ) also thrived during the Permian period 299 to 252 million years ago .", "8": "However , the Permian extinction at 252 Mya greatly impacted these insects in mass extinction , being the only mass extinction to affect insects . When the Triassic Period came , many reptiles were able to also thrive , including Archosaurs , which were an ancestor to modern - day crocodiles and birds . Little is known about marine life during the existence of Pangaea . Scientists are unable to find substantial evidence or fossilized remains in order to assist them in answering such questions . However , a couple of marine animals have been determined to have existed at the time - the Ammonites and Brachiopods . Additionally , evidence pointing towards massive reefs with varied ecosystems , especially in the species of sponges and coral , have also been discovered . Climate change after Pangaea Pangaea has tremendously affected the setup of the world now . In the post Pangaea time period , the reconfiguration of continents and oceans has changed the climate of many areas . There is scientific evidence that proves that climate was drastically altered . When the continents separated and reformed themselves , it changed the flow of the oceanic currents and winds . The scientific reasoning behind all of the changes is Continental Drift . The theory of Continental Drift , created by Alfred Wegener , explained how the continents shifted Earth 's surface and how that affected many aspects such as climate , rock formations found on different continents and plant and animal fossils . Wegener studied plant fossils from the frigid Arctic of Svalbard , Norway . He determined that such plants were not meant to adapt to a glacial climate . The fossils he found were from tropical plants that were meant to adapt and thrive in warmer and tropical climate . Because we would not assume that the plant fossils were capable of traveling to a different place we suspect that Svalbard possibly had a warmer , less frigid climate in the past . When Pangaea separated , the reorganization of the continents changed the function of the oceans and seaways . The restructuring of the continents , changed and altered the distribution of warmth and coolness of the oceans . When North America and South America connected , it stopped equatorial currents from passing from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean . Researchers have found evidence by using computer hydrological models to show that this strengthened the Gulf Stream by diverting more warm currents towards Europe .", "9": "Warm waters at high latitudes led to an increased evaporation and eventually atmospheric moisture . Increased evaporation and atmospheric moisture resulted in increased precipitation . Evidence of increased precipitation is the development of snow and ice that covers Greenland , which led to an accumulation of the icecap . Greenland 's growing ice cap led to further global cooling . Scientists also found evidence of global cooling through the separation of Australia and Antarctica and the formation of the Antarctic Ocean . Ocean currents in the newly formed Antarctic or Southern Ocean created a circumpolar current . The creation of the new ocean that caused a circumpolar current eventually led to atmospheric currents that rotated from west to east . Atmospheric and oceanic currents stopped the transfer of warm , tropical air and water to the higher latitudes . As a result of the warm air and currents moving northward , Antarctica cooled down so much that it became frigid . Although many of Alfred Wegener 's theories and conclusions were valid , scientists are constantly coming up with new innovative ideas or reasoning behind why certain things happen . Wegener 's theory of Continental Drift was later replaced by the theory of tectonic plates . Implications of extinction There is evidence to suggest that the deterioration of northern Pangaea contributed to the Permian Extinction , one of Earth 's five major mass extinction events , which resulted in the loss of over 90 % of marine and 70 % of terrestrial species . There were three main sources of environmental deterioration which are believed to have had a hand in the extinction event . The first of these sources is a loss of oxygen concentration in the ocean which caused deep water regions called the lysocline to grow shallower . With the lysocline shrinking , there were fewer places for calcite to dissolve in the ocean , considering calcite only dissolves at deep ocean depths . This led to the extinction of carbonate producers such as brachiopods and corals that relied on dissolved calcite to survive . The second source is the eruption of the Siberian Traps , a large volcanic event which is argued to be the result of Pangaean tectonic movement . This had several negative repercussions on the environment , including metal loading and excess atmospheric carbon . Metal loading , the release of toxic metals from volcanic eruptions into the environment , led to acid rain and general stress on the environment .", "10": "These toxic metals are known to infringe on vascular plants ' ability to photosynthesize , which may have resulted in the loss of Permian - era flora . Excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is believed to be the main cause of the shrinking of lysocline areas . The third cause of this extinction event that can be attributed to northern Pangaea is the beginnings of anoxic ocean environments , or oceans with very low oxygen concentrations . The mix of anoxic oceans and ocean acidification due to metal loading led to increasingly acidic oceans , which ultimately led to the extinction of Benthos .

'' Mark A. Perigard of the Boston Herald said , `` The triangle -- quadrangle ? -- becomes more twisted by episode 's end . It leads to shocking violence against outsiders that deepens the tragedy and the mythology at the core of the show . `` Game on '' just might be the two most chilling words uttered this season . '' Matt Roush of TV Guide commented , `` The Vampire Diaries is the sort of show where ' never say die ' is written into the mythology -- a good thing for several of the opening hour 's apparent victims .

{ "0": "Helminthiasis - wikipedia Helminthiasis Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the infection . For the organisms , see Helminths . Helminthiasis Synonyms helminthosis , helminthiases , helminth infection Ascaris worms ( one type of helminth ) in the small bowel of an infected person in South Africa ( X-ray image with barium as contrast medium ) Pronunciation / ˌhɛlminˈθaɪəsis / Classification and external resources Specialty infectious disease ICD - 10 B83. 9 ICD - 9 - CM 128.9 DiseasesDB 28826 MeSH D006373 ( edit on Wikidata ) Helminthiasis ( plural helminthiases ) , also known as worm infection , is any macroparasitic disease of humans and other animals in which a part of the body is infected with parasitic worms , known as helminths . There are numerous species of these parasites , which are broadly classified into tapeworms , flukes , and roundworms . They often live in the gastrointestinal tract of their hosts , but they may also burrow into other organs , where they induce physiological damage . Soil - transmitted helminthiasis and schistosomiasis are the most important helminthiases , and are among the neglected tropical diseases . This group of helmianthiases have been targeted under the joint action of the world 's leading pharmaceutical companies and non-governmental organizations through a project launched in 2012 called the London Declaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases , which aims to control or eradicate certain neglected tropical diseases by 2020 . Helminthiasis has been found to result in poor birth outcome , poor cognitive development , poor school and work performance , poor socioeconomic development , and poverty . Chronic illness , malnutrition , and anemia are further examples of secondary effects . Soil - transmitted helminthiases are responsible for parasitic infections in as much as a quarter of the human population worldwide . One well - known example of soil - transmitted helminthiases is ascariasis .", "1": "Contents ( hide ) 1 Signs and symptoms 1.1 Mass and volume 1.2 Immunological response 2 Secondary effects 2.1 Immune changes 2.2 Chronic illness 2.3 Malnutrition 2.4 Anemia 2.5 Cognitive changes 3 Helminths types causing infections 3.1 Roundworm infection ( nematodiasis ) 3.2 Tapeworm infection ( cestodiasis ) 3.3 Trematode infection ( trematodiasis ) 3.4 Acanthocephala infection 4 Transmission 5 Diagnosis 6 Prevention 7 Treatment 7.1 Medications 7.2 Mass deworming 7.3 Surgery 8 Epidemiology 8.1 Neglected tropical diseases 8.2 Prevalence 8.3 Variations within communities 8.4 Disability - adjusted life years 8.5 Deaths 9 See also 10 References 11 External links Signs and symptoms ( edit ) Example clinical photo : Guinea worm infection ( dracunculiasis ) , worm coming out of the foot of an infected person . Ascaris infection : Antimesenteric splitting of the outer layers of the bowel wall due to a large amount of ascaris ( South Africa ) The signs and symptoms of helminthiasis depend on a number of factors including : the site of the infestation within the body ; the type of worm involved ; the number of worms and their volume ; the type of damage the infesting worms cause ; and , the immunological response of the body . Where the burden of parasites in the body is light , there may be no symptoms . Certain worms may cause particular constellations of symptoms . For instance , taeniasis can lead to seizures due to neurocysticercosis . Mass and volume ( edit ) In extreme cases of intestinal infestation , the mass and volume of the worms may cause the outer layers of the intestinal wall , such as the muscular layer , to tear . This may lead to peritonitis , volvulus , and gangrene of the intestine .", "2": "Immunological response ( edit ) As pathogens in the body , helminths induce an immune response . Immune - mediated inflammatory changes occur in the skin , lung , liver , intestine , central nervous system , and eyes . Signs of the body 's immune response may include eosinophilia , edema , and arthritis . An example of the immune response is the hypersensitivity reaction that may lead to anaphylaxis . Another example is the migration of Ascaris larvae through the bronchi of the lungs causing asthma . Secondary effects ( edit ) Immune changes ( edit ) See also : Effects of parasitic worms on the immune system Micrograph of cut section of human appendix showing a pin worm . In humans , T helper cells and eosinophils respond to helminth infestation . Inflammation leads to encapsulation of egg deposits throughout the body . Helminths excrete into the intestine toxic substances after they feed . These substances then enter the circulatory and lymphatic systems of the host body . Chronic immune responses to helminthiasis may lead to increased susceptibility to other infections such as tuberculosis , HIV , and malaria . There is conflicting information about whether deworming reduces HIV progression and viral load and increases CD4 counts in antiretroviral naive and experienced individuals . Chronic illness ( edit ) Chronic helminthiasis may cause severe morbidity . Helminthiasis has been found to result in poor birth outcome , poor cognitive development , poor school and work performance , decreased productivity , poor socioeconomic development , and poverty . Malnutrition ( edit ) Helminthiasis may cause chronic illness through malnutrition including vitamin deficiencies , stunted growth , anemia , and protein - energy malnutrition . Worms compete directly with their hosts for nutrients , but the magnitude of this effect is likely minimal as the nutritional requirements of worms is relatively small . In pigs and humans , Ascaris has been linked to lactose intolerance and vitamin A , amino acid , and fat malabsorption . Impaired nutrient uptake may result from direct damage to the intestinal mucosal wall or from more subtle changes such as chemical imbalances and changes in gut flora . Alternatively , the worms ' release of protease inhibitors to defend against the body 's digestive processes may impair the breakdown of other nutrients .", "3": "In addition , worm induced diarrhoea may shorten gut transit time , thus reducing absorption of nutrients . Malnutrition due to worms can give rise to anorexia . A study of 459 children in Zanzibar revealed spontaneous increases in appetite after deworming . Anorexia might be a result of the body 's immune response and the stress of combating infection . Specifically , some of the cytokines released in the immune response to worm infestation have been linked to anorexia in animals . Anemia ( edit ) Helminths may cause iron - deficiency anemia . This is most severe in heavy hookworm infections , as Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale feed directly on the blood of their hosts . Although the daily consumption of an individual worm ( 0.02 -- 0.07 ml and 0.14 -- 0.26 ml respectively ) is small , the collective consumption under heavy infection can be clinically significantly . Intestinal whipworm may also cause anemia . Anemia has also been associated with reduced stamina for physical labor , a decline in the ability to learn new information , and apathy , irritability , and fatigue . A study of the effect of deworming and iron supplementation in 47 students from the Democratic Republic of the Congo found that the intervention improved cognitive function . Another study found that in 159 Jamaican schoolchildren , deworming led to better auditory short - term memory and scanning and retrieval of long - term memory over a period of nine - weeks . Cognitive changes ( edit ) Malnutrition due to helminths may affect cognitive function leading to low educational performance , decreased concentration and difficulty with abstract cognitive tasks . Iron deficiency in infants and preschoolers is associated with `` lower scores ... on tests of mental and motor development ... ( as well as ) increased fearfulness , inattentiveness , and decreased social responsiveness '' . Studies in the Philippines and Indonesia found a significant correlation between helminthiasis and decreased memory and fluency . Large parasite burdens , particularly severe hookworm infections , are also associated with absenteeism , under - enrollment , and attrition in school children . Helminths types causing infections ( edit ) Ascaris life cycle : Adult worms in the lumen of the small intestine ( 1 ) .", "4": "The female produces eggs ( approximately 200,000 per day ) that are excreted with the feces ( 2 ) . Unfertilized eggs are harmless , but fertilized ones are infective after 18 days to several weeks ( 3 ) . Infective eggs are ingested ( 4 ) , enter the gut ( 5 ) , develop into larvae in the intestine , and penetrate the blood vessel to enter lungs , where they develop further ( 6 ) , after 10 to 14 days , penetrate the alveolar walls , ascend the bronchial tree to the throat , and are re-swallowed ( 7 ) . Upon reaching the small intestine , they develop into adult worms ( 8 ) . It takes 2 to 3 months for one complete cycle . Adult worms can live 1 to 2 years .", "5": "Collage of various helminth eggs , from left to right : Trichosomoides egg , Ascaris lumbricoides with larva hatching , sample of adult roundworms , Hymenolepis nana , Schistosoma mansoni and Toxocara canis with larva hatching Of all the known helminth species , the most important helminths with respect to understanding their transmission pathways , their control , inactivation and enumeration in samples of human excreta from dried feces , faecal sludge , wastewater , and sewage sludge are : soil - transmitted helminths , including Ascaris lumbricoides ( the most common worldwide ) , Trichuris trichiura , Necator americanus , Strongyloides stercoralis and Ancylostoma duodenale Hymenolepis nana Taenia saginata Enterobius Fasciola hepatica Schistosoma mansoni Toxocara canis Toxocara cati Helminthiases are classified as follows ( the disease names end with `` - sis '' and the causative worms are in brackets ) : Roundworm infection ( nematodiasis ) ( edit ) Filariasis ( Wuchereria bancrofti , Brugia malayi infection ) Onchocerciasis ( Onchocerca volvulus infection ) Soil - transmitted helminthiasis -- this includes ascariasis ( Ascaris lumbricoides infection , trichuriasis ( Trichuris infection ) , and hookworm infection ( includes necatoriasis and Ancylostoma duodenale infection ) Trichostrongyliasis ( Trichostrongylus spp .", "6": "infection ) Dracunculiasis ( guinea worm infection ) Baylisascaris ( raccoon roundworm , may be transmitted to pets livestock and humans ) Tapeworm infection ( cestodiasis ) ( edit ) Echinococcosis ( Echinococcus infection ) Hymenolepiasis ( Hymenolepis infection ) Taeniasis / cysticercosis ( Taenia infection ) Coenurosis ( T. multiceps , T. serialis , T. glomerata , and T. brauni infection ) Trematode infection ( trematodiasis ) ( edit ) Amphistomiasis ( amphistomes infection ) Clonorchiasis ( Clonorchis sinensis infection ) Fascioliasis ( Fasciola infection ) Fasciolopsiasis ( Fasciolopsis buski infection ) Opisthorchiasis ( Opisthorchis infection ) Paragonimiasis ( Paragonimus infection ) Schistosomiasis / bilharziasis ( Schistosoma infection ) Acanthocephala infection ( edit ) Moniliformis infection Transmission ( edit ) Helminths are transmitted to the final host in several ways . The most common infection is through ingestion of contaminated vegetables , drinking water , and raw or undercooked meat . Contaminated food may contain eggs of nematodes such as Ascaris , Enterobius , and Trichuris ; cestodes such as Taenia , Hymenolepis , and Echinococcus ; and treamtodes such as Fasciola . Raw or undercooked meats are the major sources of Taenia ( pork , beef and venison ) , Trichinella ( pork and bear ) , Diphyllobothrium ( fish ) , Clonorchis ( fish ) , and Paragonimus ( crustaceans ) . Schistosomes and nematodes such as hookworms ( Ancylostoma and Necator ) and Strongyloides can penetrate the skin directly . Finally , Wuchereria , Onchocerca , and Dracunculus are transmitted by mosquitoes and flies . In the developing world , the use of contaminated water is a major risk factor for infection .", "7": "Infection can also take place through the practice of geophagy , which is not uncommon in parts of sub-Saharan Africa . Soil is eaten , for example , by children or pregnant women to counteract a real or perceived deficiency of minerals in their diet . Diagnosis ( edit ) Identification and quantification of helminth eggs at UNAM university in Mexico City , Mexico Specific helminths can be identified through microscopic examination of their eggs ( ova ) found in faecal samples . The number of eggs is measured in units of eggs per gram . However , it does not quantify mixed infections , and in practice , is inaccurate for quantifying the eggs of schistosomes and soil - transmitted helminths . Sophisticated tests such as serological assays , antigen tests , and molecular diagnosis are also available ; however , they are time - consuming , expensive and not always reliable . Prevention ( edit ) Disrupting the cycle of the worm will prevent infestation and re-infestation . Prevention of infection can largely be achieved by addressing the issues of WASH -- water , sanitation and hygiene . The reduction of open defecation is particularly called for , as is stopping the use of human waste as fertilizer . Further preventive measures include adherence to appropriate food hygiene , wearing of shoes , regular deworming of pets , and the proper disposal of their feces . Scientists are also searching for a vaccine against helminths , such as a hookworm vaccine . Treatment ( edit ) Medications ( edit ) Main article : Anthelmintic Broad - spectrum benzimidazoles ( such as albendazole and mebendazole ) are the first line treatment of intestinal roundworm and tapeworm infections . Macrocyclic lactones ( such as ivermectin ) are effective against adult and migrating larval stages of nematodes . Praziquantel is the drug of choice for schistosomiasis , taeniasis , and most types of food - borne trematodiases . Oxamniquine is also widely used in mass deworming programmes . Pyrantel is commonly used for veterinary nematodiasis . Artemisinins and derivatives are proving to be candidates as drugs of choice for trematodiasis .", "8": "Mass deworming ( edit ) Main article : Mass deworming In regions where helminthiasis is common , mass deworming treatments may be performed , particularly among school - age children , who are a high - risk group . Most of these initiatives are undertaken by the World Health Organization ( WHO ) with positive outcomes in many regions . Deworming programs can improve school attendance by 25 percent . Although deworming improves the health of an individual , outcomes from mass deworming campaigns , such as reduced deaths or increases in cognitive ability , nutritional benefits , physical growth , and performance , are uncertain or not apparent . Surgery ( edit ) Example of ascariasis ( ascaris infection ) - Difficult surgical procedure in South Africa on a gangrenous piece of bowel that had to be cut out ; live ascaris worms are emerging . Piece of intestine , blocked by worms , surgically removed from a 3 - year - old boy in South Africa . If complications of helminthiasis , such as intestinal obstruction occur , emergency surgery may be required . Patients who require non-emergency surgery , for instance for removal of worms from the biliary tree , can be pre-treated with the anthelmintic drug albendazole . Epidemiology ( edit ) Areas with the highest prevalence of helminthiasis are tropical and subtropical areas including sub-Saharan Africa , central and east Asia , and the Americas . Neglected Tropical diseases ( edit ) Some types of helminthiases are classified as neglected tropical diseases .", "9": "They include : Soil - transmitted helminthiases Roundworm infections such as lymphatic filariasis , dracunculiasis , and onchocerciasis Trematode infections , such as schistosomiasis , and food - borne trematodiases , including fascioliasis , clonorchiasis , opisthorchiasis , and paragonimiasis Tapeworm infections such as cysticercosis , taeniasis , and echinococcosis Prevalence ( edit ) The soil - transmitted helminths ( A. lumbricoides , T. trichiura , N. americanus , A. duodenale ) , schistosomes , and filarial worms collectively infect more than a quarter of the human population worldwide at any one time , far surpassing HIV and malaria together . Schistosomiasis is the second most prevalent parasitic disease of humans after malaria . In 2014 -- 15 , the WHO estimated that approximately 2 billion people were infected with soil - transmitted helminthiases , 249 million with schistosomiasis , 56 million people with food - borne trematodiasis , 120 million with lymphatic filariasis , 37 million people with onchocerciasis , and 1 million people with echinococcosis . Another source estimated a much higher figure of 3.5 billion infected with one or more soil - transmitted helminths . In 2014 , only 148 people were reported to have dracunculiasis because of a successful eradication campaign for that particular helminth , which is easier to eradicate than other helminths as it is transmitted only by drinking contaminated water . Because of their high mobility and lower standards of hygiene , school - age children are particularly vulnerable to helminthiasis . Most children from developing nations will have at least one infestation . Multi-species infections are very common . Variations within communities ( edit ) Even in areas of high prevalence , the frequency and severity of infection is not uniform within communities or families . A small proportion of community members harbour the majority of worms , and this depends on age . The maximum worm burden is at five to ten years of age , declining rapidly thereafter .", "10": "Individual predisposition to helminthiasis for people with the same sanitation infrastructure and hygiene behavior is thought to result from differing immunocompetence , nutritional status , and genetic factors . Because individuals are predisposed to a high or a low worm burden , the burden reacquired after successful treatment is proportional to that before treatment . Disability - adjusted life years ( edit ) It is estimated that intestinal nematode infections cause 5 million disability - adjusted life years ( DALYS ) to be lost , of which hookworm infections account for more than 3 million DALYS and ascaris infections more than 1 million . There are also signs of progress : The Global Burden of Disease Study published in 2015 estimates a 46 percent ( 59 percent when age standardised ) reduction in years lived with disability ( YLD ) for the 13 - year time period from 1990 to 2013 for all intestinal / nematode infections , and even a 74 percent ( 80 percent when age standardised ) reduction in YLD from ascariasis . Deaths ( edit ) As many as 135,000 die annually from soil transmitted helminthiasis . The 1990 -- 2013 Global Burden of Disease Study estimated 5,500 direct deaths from schistosomiasis , while more than 200,000 people were estimated in 2013 to die annually from causes related to schistosomiasis . Another 20 million have severe consequences from the disease . It is the most deadly of the neglected tropical diseases .

The 112th edition of the World Series , it was a best - of - seven playoff between the National League ( NL ) champion Chicago Cubs and the American League ( AL ) champion Cleveland Indians , the first meeting of those franchises in postseason history . The series was played between October 25 and November 2 . The Indians had home - field advantage because the AL had won the 2016 All - Star Game .", "1": "It was also the last World Series to have home - field advantage determined by the All - Star Game results ; since 2017 , home - field advantage is awarded to the team with the better record . The Cubs defeated the Indians when they won 4 games to 3 to win their first World Series since 1908 . Game 7 , an 8 -- 7 victory in extra innings , marked the fifth time that a Game 7 had gone past nine innings and the first since 1997 ( which , coincidentally , also featured the Indians ) . It was also the first to have a rain delay which occurred as the tenth inning was about to start . The Cubs became the sixth team to come back from a 3 - 1 deficit to win a best - of - seven World Series , following the 1925 Pittsburgh Pirates , the 1958 New York Yankees , the 1968 Detroit Tigers , the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates , and the 1985 Kansas City Royals . This was the second time and the first since 1948 where the World Series score was even . The Cubs , playing in their eleventh World Series and their first since 1945 , won their third championship and first since 1908 , ending the longest world championship drought in North American professional sports history . It was the Indians ' sixth appearance in the World Series and their first since 1997 , with their last Series win having come in 1948 . The two teams entered their matchup as the two franchises with the longest World Series title droughts , a combined 176 years without a championship . Cleveland manager Terry Francona , who had previously won World Series titles with the Boston Red Sox in 2004 and 2007 , fell short in his bid to become the third manager , and the first non-Yankees manager , to win his first three trips to the Fall Classic , after Casey Stengel and Joe Torre .

Former Indians player Jim Thome threw the ceremonial first pitch before the game .", "12": "The pitching matchup was between MLB earned run average ( ERA ) champion Kyle Hendricks , who had started Game 3 for the Cubs , and Corey Kluber , who had won games 1 and 4 and was pitching on three days ' rest . Kluber came into the game 4 -- 1 in the postseason with a 0.89 ERA . Dexter Fowler led off the game with a home run for Chicago off Kluber , becoming the first player ever to hit a lead - off home run in a World Series Game 7 . The Indians tied the game in the bottom of the third inning with an RBI single by Carlos Santana , but the Cubs scored two runs in the fourth inning with a sacrifice fly by Addison Russell ( Kris Bryant running aggressively to tag up from third on the short fly ball and slide under the tag at home ) and a double by Willson Contreras . To start the fifth inning , Javier Báez hit a home run to center making it 4 - 1 on the first pitch he saw to knock Kluber out of the game . ALCS MVP Andrew Miller came on in relief and gave up a walk to Bryant and RBI single to Anthony Rizzo to push the lead to 5 -- 1 ( Bryant 's aggressiveness again instrumental as he was attempting to steal second on the hit , allowing him to score all the way from first ) . In the bottom of the fifth inning , Hendricks retired the first two batters . A two - out walk to Santana persuaded Joe Maddon to relieve his starter . This move , along with others throughout the series , would be highly criticized afterward , as it appeared to some that Hendricks was pulled out too soon . ( Maddon also drew criticism for having Javier Báez attempt a squeeze bunt with two strikes and Jason Heyward on third base in the 9th inning -- Báez bunted the pitch foul for Strike 3 . ) Jon Lester , who had started Games 1 and 5 , came on in relief for the first time since the 2007 ALCS , coincidentally also against the Indians . David Ross committed a throwing error that allowed Jason Kipnis to reach base and put runners on second and third . A wild pitch that ricocheted off Ross 's helmet allowed Santana and Kipnis to score , narrowing the Cubs ' lead to 5 -- 3 .", "13": "To atone for his blunders , the 39 - year - old Ross hit a home run to center , in his last official at - bat of his career , in the top of the sixth to make it a 6 -- 3 game , becoming the oldest player to hit a home run in a World Series Game 7 . Lester retired the first two batters in the eighth inning , but was pulled after a José Ramírez single . Maddon opted to use Aroldis Chapman , who had thrown 42 pitches in Game 5 and was used in Game 6 despite the fact that the Cubs had already built a large lead . Brandon Guyer promptly hit a run - scoring double off Chapman , making the score 6 -- 4 . The next batter was Indians center fielder Rajai Davis , who had hit 55 career home runs in 11 seasons entering this game , and who was hitting . 132 in the postseason up to that point . Davis hit a dramatic 2 - run home run off Chapman , just barely clearing the left field wall and the left field foul pole , scoring Guyer and tying the game , making the score 6 - 6 . Davis 's home run was the latest - occurring game - tying home run in World Series Game 7 history . The Cubs squandered a scoring chance in the top of the 9th . Jayson Heyward was on 3rd base with one out when Javier Baez attempted a bunt with two ( 2 ) strikes , fouling it off . Dexter Fowler would eventually ground out to end the top of the ninth . Aroldis Chapman returned to the mound for the bottom of the ninth and promptly retired the Indians in order , facing Carlos Santana , Jason Kipnis , and Francisco Lindor , the Indians 1 , 2 , and 3 hitters . With the game tied 6 - 6 after nine innings , a sudden cloudburst resulted in a 17 - minute rain delay . During the delay , Cub right fielder Jason Heyward called his teammates into a weight room behind Chicago 's dugout and told them , `` We 're the best team in baseball ... for a reason ... Stick together and we 're going to win this game . ''", "14": "When play resumed in the top of the tenth , Kyle Schwarber led off with a single off Bryan Shaw to right and was replaced by pinch runner Albert Almora . Kris Bryant then hit a deep fly ball to center , and Almora tagged up to second base , in what was called the `` savviest baserunning play of the season . '' After an intentional walk to Anthony Rizzo , Ben Zobrist stepped up to the plate . Zobrist delivered a clutch RBI double into the left field corner , scoring Almora , and breaking the tie , making the score 7 - 6 . Zobrist later said , `` I was just battling , grinding up there . Fortunately , that last one he left over the plate and up to where I could just slap it down the line , and that was all I was trying to do . '' After another intentional walk to Addison Russell , Miguel Montero singled into left , scoring Rizzo and making the score 8 -- 6 . Carl Edwards Jr. was called on to finish off the Indians in the bottom of the tenth , but after retiring the first two hitters , he walked Brandon Guyer , who took second base on defensive indifference . Rajai Davis , following up on his eighth - inning heroics , lined a single to center , making it a one - run game , and the score 8 - 7 . Maddon called on Mike Montgomery , who had zero career saves . Montgomery retired Michael Martinez with an infield grounder fielded by Bryant , who threw to Rizzo . This ended the game and World Series , with the Cubs winning the series and ending their 108 - year World champion drought . Zobrist was awarded the World Series MVP award after hitting . 357 in the series and delivering the series - winning hit . After Game 7 ( edit ) Rizzo called the rain delay `` the most important thing to happen to the Chicago Cubs in the past 100 years . I do n't think there 's any way we win the game without it . '' Cubs president Theo Epstein said that when he heard about the meeting called by Heyward , `` Right then I thought , ' We 're winning this game .

The current blanket title was imposed for home video releases over 40 years after the series originally aired and was never used when the show was televised ; television airings of the show were broadcast under the titles of Rocky and His Friends from 1959 to 1961 , The Bullwinkle Show from 1961 to 1964 , and The Adventures of Bullwinkle and Rocky in syndication . Produced by Jay Ward Productions , the series is structured as a variety show , with the main feature being the serialized adventures of the two title characters , the anthropomorphic moose Bullwinkle and flying squirrel Rocky . The main adversaries in most of their adventures are the two Russian - like spies Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale . Supporting segments include Dudley Do - Right ( a parody of old - time melodrama ) , Peabody 's Improbable History ( a dog named Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman traveling through time ) , and Fractured Fairy Tales ( classic fairy tales retold in comic fashion ) , among others . Rocky and Bullwinkle is known for quality writing and wry humor . Mixing puns , cultural and topical satire , and self - referential humor , it appealed to adults as well as children . It was also one of the first cartoons whose animation was outsourced ; storyboards were shipped to Gamma Productions , a Mexican studio also employed by Total Television .", "2": "The art has a choppy , unpolished look and the animation is extremely limited even by television animation standards at the time , yet the series has long been held in high esteem by those who have seen it ; some critics described the series as a well - written radio program with pictures . The show was shuffled around several times ( airing in afternoon , prime time , and Saturday morning timeslots ) , but was influential to other animated series from The Simpsons to Rocko 's Modern Life . Segments from the series were later recycled in the Hoppity Hooper show . There have been numerous feature film adaptations of the series ' various segments , such as the 2000 film The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle which blended live - action and computer animation and the 1999 live - action film Dudley Do - Right , which both received poor reviews and were financially unsuccessful . By contrast , an animated feature film adaptation of the `` Peabody 's Improbable History '' segment , Mr. Peabody & Sherman , was released to positive reviews in 2014 . A rebooted animated series , The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show , debuted on Netflix in October 2015 . In 2013 , Rocky and His Friends and The Bullwinkle Show were ranked the sixth Greatest TV Cartoon of All Time by TV Guide .

This original show never got beyond the proposal stage .", "3": "It featured a group of forest animals running a television station . The group included Rocket J. Squirrel ( Rocky ) , Oski Bear , Canadian Moose ( Bullwinkle ) , Sylvester Fox , Blackstone Crow , and Floral Fauna . The show in this form was created by Alex Anderson . Bullwinkle 's name came from the name of a car dealership in Berkeley , California , called Bullwinkel Motors . Anderson changed the spelling of the name and gave it to his moose . Ward wanted to produce the show in Los Angeles ; however , Anderson lived in the San Francisco Bay Area and did not want to relocate . As a result , Ward hired Bill Scott as head writer and co-producer at Jay Ward Productions , and he wrote the Rocky and Bullwinkle features . Ward was joined by writers Chris Hayward and Allan Burns ; the latter eventually became head writer for MTM Enterprises . In a 1982 interview , Scott said , `` I got a call from Jay asking if I 'd be interested in writing another series , an adventure script with a moose and a squirrel . I said , ' Sure . ' I did n't know if I could write an adventure with a moose and a squirrel , but I never turned down a job . '' Production ( edit ) The series began with the pilot , Rocky the Flying Squirrel . Production began in February 1958 with the hiring of voice actors June Foray , Paul Frees , Bill Scott , and William Conrad . Eight months later , General Mills signed a deal to sponsor the cartoon program , under the condition that the show be run in a late - afternoon time slot , when it could be targeted toward children . Subsequently , Ward hired the rest of the production staff , including writers and designers . However , no animators were hired . Ad executives at Dancer , Fitzgerald , & Sample -- the advertising agency for General Mills -- set up an animation studio in Mexico called Gamma Productions S.A. de C.V. , originally known as Val - Mar Animation . This outsourcing of the animation for the series was considered financially attractive by primary sponsor General Mills , but caused endless production problems .", "4": "In a 1982 interview by animation historian Jim Korkis , Bill Scott described some of the problems that arose during production of the series : We found out very quickly that we could not depend on Mexican studios to produce anything of quality . They were turning out the work very quickly and there were all kinds of mistakes and flaws and boo - boos ... They would never check ... Mustaches popped on and off Boris , Bullwinkle 's antlers would change , colors would change , costumes would disappear ... By the time we finally saw it , it was on the air . Network television : 1959 -- 1982 ( edit ) See also : List of Rocky and Bullwinkle episodes The show was broadcast for the first time on November 19 , 1959 , on the ABC television network under the title Rocky and His Friends twice a week , on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons , following American Bandstand at 5 : 30 p.m. ET , where it was the highest - rated daytime network program . The show moved to the NBC network starting September 24 , 1961 , broadcast in color , and first appeared on Sundays at 7 p.m. ET , just before Walt Disney 's Wonderful World of Color . Bullwinkle 's ratings suffered as a result of airing opposite perennial favorite Lassie . A potential move to CBS caused NBC to reschedule the show to late Sunday afternoons ( 5 : 30 p.m. ET ) and early Saturday afternoons in its final season . NBC canceled the show in the summer of 1964 . It was shopped to ABC , but they were not interested . However , reruns of episodes were aired on ABC 's Sunday morning schedule at 11 a.m. ET until 1973 , at which time the series went into syndication . An abbreviated fifteen - minute version of the series ran in syndication in the 1960s under the title The Rocky Show . This version was sometimes shown in conjunction with The King and Odie , a fifteen - minute version of Total Television 's King Leonardo and His Short Subjects . The King and Odie was similar to Rocky and Bullwinkle in that it was sponsored by General Mills and animated by Gamma Productions . NBC later aired Bullwinkle Show reruns at 12 : 30 p.m.", "5": "ET Saturday afternoons during the 1981 -- 1982 television season . On cable , the series had extended runs on Nickelodeon ( 1990 -- 1994 ) , Cartoon Network ( 1993 -- 2002 ) and Boomerang ( early 2000s ) . Since the late 2000s , The Program Exchange has typically only licensed the series for short - term runs ; nationally , the series has seen limited airings on WGN America ( 2009 ) , VH1 Classic ( 2012 ) and Boomerang ( 2013 ) . Syndicated package ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( May 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show remained in syndicated reruns and was still available for local television stations through The Program Exchange as late as 2016 ; WBBZ - TV , for instance , aired the show in a strip to counterprogram 10 PM newscasts in the Buffalo , New York market during the summer 2013 season . The underlying rights are now owned by Universal Pictures , which holds the library of predecessor companies DreamWorks Animation and Classic Media , and who in turn with copyright holder Ward Productions forms the joint venture Bullwinkle Studios , which manages the Rocky and Bullwinkle properties ; Universal 's purchase of Classic Media coincided with The Program Exchange 's shutdown . Sponsor General Mills retained all United States television rights to the series . Two packages , each containing different episodes , are available . The syndicated version of The Bullwinkle Show contains 98 half - hour shows ( # 801 -- 898 ) . The first 78 comprise the Rocky & Bullwinkle story lines from the first two seasons of the original series ( these segments originally aired under the Rocky and His Friends title ) . Other elements in the half - hour shows ( Fractured Fairy Tales , Peabody 's Improbable History , Dudley Do - Right of the Mounties , Aesop and Son , and short cartoons including Bullwinkle 's Corner and Mr. Know - It - All ) sometimes appear out of the original broadcast sequence .", "6": "The final 20 syndicated Bullwinkle Show episodes feature later Rocky & Bullwinkle story lines ( from `` Bumbling Bros. Circus '' through the end of the series , minus `` Moosylvania '' ) along with Fractured Fairy Tales , Bullwinkle 's Corner , and Mr. Know - It - All segments repeated from earlier in the syndicated episode cycle . Originally , many syndicated shows included segments of Total Television 's The World of Commander McBragg , but these cartoons were replaced with other segments when the shows were remastered in the early 1990s . A package , promoted under the Rocky and His Friends name but utilizing The Rocky Show titles , features story lines not included in the syndicated Bullwinkle Show series . The most recently syndicated Rocky and His Friends package retains the 15 - minute format , consisting of 156 individual episodes , but like The Bullwinkle Show , the content differs from the versions syndicated in the 1960s . The various supporting segments , including Fractured Fairy Tales ( 91 ) , Peabody 's Improbable History ( 91 ) , and Aesop and Son ( 39 ) segments are syndicated as part of Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales , and 38 of the 39 Dudley Do - Right cartoons are syndicated as part of Dudley Do Right ( sic ) and Friends . Syndicated versions of the shows distributed outside of the United States and Canada combine the various segments under the package title Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends ; it is this version of the show that is represented on official DVD releases through DreamWorks Classics and the official online version found on Hulu . Characters ( edit ) ( From left to right ) Rocky , Bullwinkle , and Captain Peter Peachfuzz . The lead characters and heroes of the series were Rocket `` Rocky '' J. Squirrel , a flying squirrel , and his best friend Bullwinkle J. Moose , a dim - witted but good - natured moose . Both characters lived in the fictional town of Frostbite Falls , Minnesota , which was based on the real life city of International Falls , Minnesota . The scheming villains in most episodes were the fiendish spies Boris Badenov , a pun on Boris Godunov , and Natasha Fatale , a pun on femme fatale .", "7": "Other characters included Fearless Leader , the dictator of the fictitious nation of Pottsylvania and Boris and Natasha 's superior , Gidney & Cloyd , little green men from the moon who were armed with scrooch guns ; Captain Peter `` Wrongway '' Peachfuzz , the captain of the S.S. Andalusia ; various U.S. government bureaucrats and politicians ( such as Senator Fussmussen , a recurring character who opposed admitting Alaska and Hawaii to the union on grounds of his own xenophobia ) ; and the inevitable onlookers , Edgar and Chauncy . Structure ( edit ) When first shown on NBC , the cartoons were introduced by a Bullwinkle puppet , voiced by Bill Scott , who would often lampoon celebrities , current events , and especially Walt Disney , whose program Wonderful World of Color was next on the schedule . Compared with the dim - witted and lovable moose that fans of the series grew up with , this short - lived version of Bullwinkle was depicted as a sarcastic smart - aleck . On one occasion , `` Bullwinkle '' encouraged children to pull the tuning knobs off the TV set . `` In that way , '' explained Bullwinkle , `` we 'll be sure to be with you next week ! '' The network received complaints from parents of an estimated 20,000 child viewers who apparently followed Bullwinkle 's suggestion . Bullwinkle told the children the following week to put the knobs back on with glue `` and make it stick ! '' The puppet sequence was dropped altogether . Scott later re-used the puppet for a segment called `` Dear Bullwinkle , '' where letters written for the show were read and answered humorously . Four episodes of `` Dear Bullwinkle '' are on the Season 1 DVD . Each episode is composed of two `` Rocky & Bullwinkle '' cliffhanger shorts that stylistically emulated early radio and film serials . The plots of these shorts would combine into story arcs spanning numerous episodes . The first and longest story arc was Jet Fuel Formula consisting of 40 shorts ( 20 episodes ) . Stories ranged from seeking the missing ingredient for a rocket fuel formula , to tracking the monstrous whale Maybe Dick , to an attempt to prevent mechanical , metal - munching , moon mice from devouring the nation 's television antennas .", "8": "Rocky and Bullwinkle frequently encounter the two Pottsylvanian nogoodniks , Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale . At the end of most episodes , the narrator , William Conrad , would announce two humorous titles for the next episode that typically were puns of each other ( and usually related more to the current predicament than to the plot of the next episode ) . For example , during an adventure taking place in a mountain range , the narrator would state , `` Be with us next time for ' Avalanche Is Better Than None , ' or ' Snow 's Your Old Man . ' '' Such a ' This , ' or ' That ' title announcement was borrowed from The Adventures of Sam Spade radio shows produced in 1946 -- 50 . The narrator frequently spoke with the characters , thus breaking the fourth wall . Episodes were introduced with one of four opening sequences : Rocky flies about snow - covered mountains . Below him , hiking on a snowy trail , Bullwinkle is distracted by a billboard featuring his name , and walks off a ledge . He becomes a large snowball as he rolls downhill . Rocky flies to him and pushes against the snowball , slowing it to a halt at the edge of another cliff . Bullwinkle pops out of the snowball to catch the teetering squirrel at the cliff edge . In a circus , Rocky is preparing to jump from a high diving board into a tub of water tended by Bullwinkle . However , when Rocky jumps , he ends up flying around the circus tent , while Bullwinkle chases after him carrying the tub . As Rocky lands safely , Bullwinkle tumbles into the tub . This was the same intro used for the Buena Vista VHS series in the early 1990s . Rocky is flying acrobatically about a city landscape . Bullwinkle is high atop a flagpole painting , and is knocked from his perch as the squirrel flies by . Rocky attempts to catch the plummeting moose with a butterfly net , but the moose falls through . Rocky then flies lower to find his friend suspended from a clothesline , having fallen into a pair of long johns . Similar to the previous opening , Rocky is again flying about the city . Bullwinkle is suspended from a safety harness posting a sign on a large billboard .", "9": "He loses his balance as the squirrel zooms past him and tumbles off the platform . The moose lands on a banner pole mounted on the side of a building , and the recoil springs him back into the air . He lands on a store awning , slides down , and drops a few feet to a bench on which Rocky is seated . The impact launches the squirrel off the bench , and Bullwinkle nonchalantly catches him in his left hand to end the sequence . Episodes ended with a bumper sequence in which a violent lightning storm destroys the landscape , appearing to engulf Rocky and Bullwinkle in the destruction and accompanied by dramatic piano music . The music would become more lighthearted , and the ground would scroll upward while the outlines of the heroes gradually appeared . We then see a smiling sun overlooking a barren field which rapidly fills with sunflowers until Rocky and Bullwinkle finally sprout from the ground . Supporting features ( edit ) Sherman and Mr. Peabody enter the WABAC machine The `` Rocky & Bullwinkle '' shorts serve as `` bookends '' for popular supporting features , including : `` Dudley Do - Right of the Mounties '' , a parody of early 20th century melodrama and silent film serials of the Northern genre . Dudley Do - Right is a Canadian Mountie in constant pursuit of his nemesis , Snidely Whiplash , who sports the standard `` villain '' attire of black top hat , cape , and large handlebar moustache . This is one of the few Jay Ward cartoons to feature a background music track . As is standard in Ward 's cartoons , jokes often have more than one meaning . A standard gag is to introduce characters in an irised close - up with the name of the `` actor '' displayed in a caption below , a convention seen in some early silent films . However , the comic twist is using the captions to present silly names or subtle puns . Occasionally , even the scenery is introduced in this manner , as when `` Dead Man 's Gulch '' is identified as being portrayed by `` Gorgeous Gorge , '' a reference to professional wrestler Gorgeous George . `` Peabody 's Improbable History '' features a genius talking dog named Mister Peabody who has a pet boy named Sherman .", "10": "Peabody and Sherman use Peabody 's `` WABAC machine '' ( pronounced `` way - back '' , spelled WAYBAC in season 1 , episode 4 , and partially a play on names of early computers such as UNIVAC and ENIAC ) to go back in time to discover the real story behind historical events , and in many cases , intervene with uncooperative historical figures to ensure that events transpire as history has recorded . The term `` Wayback Machine '' is used to this day in Internet applications such as Wikipedia and the Internet Archive to refer to the ability to see or revert to older content . These segments are famous for including a pun at the end . For example , when going back to the time of Pancho Villa , they show Pancho a photo of a woman and he promptly feels the urge to take a nap . When Sherman asks why this is so , Peabody says that the woman 's name is Esther , and whenever you `` see Esther '' ( siesta ) you fall asleep . Mr. Peabody is named after a dog belonging to Scott 's son John . Sherman is named after UPA director Sherman Glas . `` Fractured Fairy Tales '' presented familiar fairy tales and children 's stories , but with altered storylines and modernized for humorous effect . This segment was narrated by Edward Everett Horton ; June Foray , Bill Scott , Paul Frees , and an uncredited Daws Butler often supplied the voices . `` Aesop & Son '' is similar to `` Fractured Fairy Tales '' , complete with the same theme music , except it deals with fables instead of fairy tales . The typical structure consists of Aesop attempting to teach a lesson to his son using a fable . After hearing the story , the son subverts the fable 's moral with a pun . This structure was also suggested by the feature 's opening titles , which showed Aesop painstakingly carving his name in marble using a mallet and chisel and then his son , with a jackhammer and raising a cloud of dust , appending `` And Son . '' Aesop was voiced ( uncredited ) by actor Charlie Ruggles and the son , Junior , was voiced by Daws Butler .", "11": "`` Bullwinkle 's Corner '' features the dimwitted moose attempting to introduce culture into the proceedings by reciting ( and acting out ) poems and nursery rhymes , inadvertently and humorously butchering them . Poems subjected to this treatment include several by Robert Louis Stevenson ( `` My Shadow '' , `` The Swing '' , and `` Where Go the Boats '' ) ; William Wordsworth 's `` Daffodils '' ; `` Little Miss Muffet '' , `` Little Jack Horner '' , and `` Wee Willie Winkie '' ; J.G. Whittier 's `` Barbara Frietchie '' ; and `` The Queen of Hearts '' by Charles Lamb . Simple Simon is performed with Boris as the pie man , but as a variation of the famous Abbott and Costello routine `` Who 's on First ? '' . `` Mr. Know - It - All '' again features Bullwinkle posing as an authority on any topic . Disaster inevitably ensues . `` Bullwinkle and Rocky Fan Club '' , a series of abortive attempts by Rocky and Bullwinkle to conduct club business . The fan club consists only of Rocky , Bullwinkle , Boris , Natasha , and Captain Peter Peachfuzz . These shorts portray the characters as somewhat out of character . `` The World of Commander McBragg '' , short features on revisionist history as the title character would have imagined it ; this was actually prepared for Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales ( and later shown on The Underdog Show ) . Although the shorts were animated by the same animation company , Gamma Productions , they were produced for Total Television , rather than Ward Productions . These segments were packaged with pre-1990 syndicated versions of The Bullwinkle Show and appear in syndicated episodes of The Underdog Show , Dudley Do Right and Friends , and Uncle Waldo 's Cartoon Show . Voices ( edit ) The following table summarizes which characters were voiced by which actor , as documented in the Frostbite Falls Field Guide and June Foray interview in the Complete Series boxed set , as well as Rocky and Bullwinkle sub-articles here on Wikipedia .

In a campaign to make the island into the 51st state , he and Scott drove a van across the country to about 50 - 60 cities collecting petition signatures . Arriving in Washington D.C. , they pulled up to the White House gate to see President Kennedy , and were brusquely turned away . They learned that the evening they had arrived was during the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis . Also in 1962 , British Invasion band Herman 's Hermits got its name because bandmates thought lead singer Peter Noone looked like Sherman of `` Mr. Peabody '' fame , and the name `` Herman '' was close enough to `` Sherman '' for them . TSR , Inc. released Bullwinkle & Rocky TM ( 1988 ) , a roleplaying game based on the world of Rocky and Bullwinkle . The game consisted of rules , mylar hand puppets , cards , and spinners . Data East produced a pinball machine titled Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends ( 1993 ) . In 1999 , Mattel made Rocky & Bullwinkle - themed cars under its Hot Wheels line .", "13": "In 2002 , Rocky and His Friends ranked # 47 on TV Guide 's 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time . In January 2009 , IGN named Rocky and Bullwinkle as the 11th best animated television series . To date , Rocky and Friends has aired in 100 countries . Revival attempts ( edit ) There were attempts to revive Rocky & Bullwinkle throughout the 1970s . A revival in 1981 parodied the Super Bowl . A script was written , storyboards were produced , the network gave it a green light , but the project was canceled because of objections from the NFL . ( Actual team owners were parodied , and Boris was fixing the game . ) Another revival attempt took place at Disney in the mid 1980s , back when they were distributing the show on VHS . Developed by Tad Stone and Michael Peraza , the revival was named The Secret Adventures of Bullwinkle and would have been a modern take on the old Bullwinkle show , with the return of characters like Peabody and Sherman , Dudley Do Right and would have featured new segments like `` Fractured Scary Tales '' , a parody of horror films , and a new `` Mr Know It All '' skit that had Bullwinkle programming a VCR . Before the two presented their pitch , they soon found out Disney did n't have the rights to the actual series , only to the video distribution of the old Bullwinkle show , and the concept was abandoned . CED videodisc releases ( edit ) The program debuted on home video with two compilation CED Videodiscs released by RCA during the format 's rise in the early 1980s , featuring complete , uncut story arcs and accompanying alternating segments and bumpers . Volume 1 contained the complete story for `` Wossamotta U '' , while volume 2 contained `` Goof Gas Attack '' and `` The Three Mooseketeers '' . VHS and LaserDisc releases ( edit ) Buena Vista Home Video released the show on VHS and LaserDisc in the early 1990s , under the title The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle . These are presented differently from when broadcast .", "14": "Two `` Rocky and Bullwinkle '' chapters were sometimes edited together into one ( removing the `` titles '' for the next chapters as well as part of the recap at the beginning of the next ) , usually showing the storyline in four or five chapters per video . For example , the 12 - episode Wossamotta U. adventure is reduced to seven episodes , and runs about seven minutes shorter . The `` Bullwinkle Show '' closing was used on these . The first eight videos were released under the `` Classic Stuff '' banner , with covers and titles being parodies of famous paintings or painters . Four more videos were released under the `` Funny Stuff '' banner , but unlike the first eight , these were not numbered , the video titles matched the title of the featured `` Rocky and Bullwinkle '' storyline , and the covers represented scenes from shows ( such as Bullwinkle pulling a rhino out of a hat as the cover for `` Painting Theft '' ) . ( The change in the banner might have been due to a video magazine publishing a letter criticizing the editing . ) The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle Season 1 is available in Cracker Barrel for VHS .

These videos included Upsidaisium , The Last Angry Moose , Metal - Munching Mice , Much Mud , and Rue Britannia . However , these were released through Goodtimes Video and were not authorized by Ward Productions . The copies used were from 16 mm Bullwinkle Show prints .", "17": "Some other companies also released unauthorized editions of Rocky and Bullwinkle , including Nostalgia Family Video which also released all 98 of The Bullwinkle Show package shows via 16 mm Bullwinkle Show prints and Bridgestone Multimedia released eight episodes as Rocky and his Friends using an old broadcast 16 mm print . The copyright status of these 98 episodes ( along with some episodes of Hoppity Hooper ) is disputed . As of 2017 , the copyright is generally recognized as valid , and attempts to post the gray market releases on video sites have historically been greeted with DMCA takedown notices . DVD releases ( edit ) In 2002 , Jay Ward Productions established a partnership with Classic Media called Bullwinkle Studios . From 2003 to 2005 , the partnership produced DVDs of the first three seasons of the series , which were renamed ( for legal reasons ) Rocky & Bullwinkle & Friends . Releases then stalled until 2010 , when season 4 was released , in part to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the series . The complete series was released on January 4 , 2011 , marking the debut of season 5 on DVD . A standalone release of season 5 was released on March 29 , 2011 . The DVDs for the first 3 seasons were distributed by Sony Wonder , while season 4 , 5 and Complete Series sets are currently distributed by Vivendi Entertainment . The DVD releases differ somewhat from the originals . The renaming of the show led to a sometimes clumsy superimposition of the new title onto preexisting opening credits and interior bumpers . A Bill Conrad sound - alike was used to announce the new title , which some viewers found jarring . In addition , a semi-transparent `` R&B '' logo appears for five seconds at the beginning of each segment in the lower right - hand corner . Some segments were moved from their position in the original episodes . Also , the season 5 shows on DVD recycle supporting features found on the DVDs for the first four seasons . Mathematically , this makes sense since the total number of supporting features ( assuming two used per show ) exactly equals the number of shows created during the first four seasons .", "18": "The first set , most of the second set , and the fifth season set use the second opening and closing used for the `` Rocky and His Friends '' broadcast , while the last two story arcs in the second set , as well as the third and fourth season sets , use the original opening and closing from the `` Rocky and His Friends '' broadcast . Frank Comstock 's musical themes are replaced on the sets with Fred Steiner 's music produced for The Bullwinkle Show . In addition , the first four season sets include optional Spanish - language audio tracks . In 2005 , Classic Media released a series of `` best of '' DVD compilations of popular segments of the series : two volumes of `` The Best of Rocky and Bullwinkle '' , plus the single - volume `` The Best of Boris and Natasha '' , `` The Best of Mr. Peabody and Sherman '' , `` The Best of Fractured Fairy Tales '' , and `` The Best of Dudley Do - Right '' . These compilations contain episodes from the entire run of the show . On October 30 , 2012 , Classic Media released a DVD called `` The Complete Fractured Fairy Tales '' which includes all 91 Fractured Fairy Tales segments .", "19": "DVD name Ep # Release date ( Region 1 ) Discs Extras Complete First Season 26 August 12 , 2003 Network promos ; `` Savings Stamp Club '' episode ; `` Dear Bullwinkle '' bumpers ; `` The Many Faces of Boris Badenov '' ( a montage of Boris scenes ) ; two segments from Season Two 's `` Metal Munching Mice '' Complete Second Season 52 August 31 , 2004 4 ( double sided ) Interview with June Foray ; Three Cheerios commercials ( storyboard and final versions ) ; `` Moosecalls : The Best of Bullwinkle Sings '' ( a parody of television ads for compilation records ) ; a segment from Season Three 's `` Missouri Mish Mash '' Complete Third Season 33 September 6 , 2005 Bullwinkle puppet openings ; `` The Best of Bullwinkle Follies '' ( a vaudeville themed montage of clips ) ; the first segment of Season Four 's `` Painting Theft '' Complete Fourth Season 19 August 17 , 2010 None Complete Fifth Season 33 March 29 , 2011 Audio outtake from `` Goof Gas Attack '' Complete Series 163 January 4 , 2011 18 In addition to previous extras , a 70 - page `` Frostbite Falls Field Guide '' detailing the history of the show ; `` Exceptional Adequacy '' award ribbon In other Media ( edit ) Advertising ( edit ) In 1966 , the duo appeared between show segments in ads for General Mills ' Frosty O 's cereal and Kendall `` Curad Comic Strips '' plastic bandages In the 1960s or 70s Rocky and Bullwinkle appeared in some U.S. postage stamps with their friends .

Comics ( edit ) A syndicated daily newspaper comic strip titled Bullwinkle began on July 23 , 1962 with original stories drawn by Al Kilgore . It ended in 1965 . Rocky and Bullwinkle comic books were published by Dell Comics , Gold Key Comics , Charlton Comics and Star Comics ( an imprint of Marvel Comics ) . All were called Bullwinkle and Rocky . The comics , although for children , did contain numerous references spoofing issues such as celebrity worship or the politics of the 1980s . In one Star Comics issue , Bullwinkle owns a small company , which makes him eligible to compete in a fun run in Washington DC for presidents of small companies . When Bullwinkle says he is there for the race , it is mistaken that he is campaigning for President . The comic also spoofed US President Ronald Reagan , and he personally thanks Bullwinkle for stopping Boris & Natasha by rewarding him with monogrammed jelly beans . Another comic broke the fourth wall when the narrator is outraged at a plot of Boris ' , to which Boris claims he has control of everyone `` by capturing the Marvel Comics building and tying up the editor '' . When the narrator comments on how this is morally wrong , Boris quiets him by saying , `` You will agree or you will not find paycheck in mail this month ! '' The same issue made reference to the 1988 Olympics , which Boris had engineering in Fort Knox , Kentucky in an attempt to steal its gold by carving all the bars into gold medals , as well as furnishing false information to every country so Pottsylvania would win all the gold medals ( and thus take all true gold ) by virtue of default . After Boris is foiled , the narrator comments that the games will go on as planned in real time in Seoul , South Korea .", "21": "In April 2013 , it was announced that IDW Publishing with DreamWorks Classics and Bullwinkle Studios will release comics of Rocky and Bullwinkle , Dudley Do - Right and Peabody and Sherman . Films ( edit ) Boris and Natasha : The Movie ( 1992 ) , is a live - action feature film starring the two spies . Neither Rocky nor Bullwinkle appears in this film ; however the characters of Toots and Harve are identified as `` Moose '' and `` Squirrel '' at one point in the film . The film was originally intended for theatrical release , but was premiered on Showtime . Dudley Do - Right ( 1999 ) , a theatrical live - action film , starred Brendan Fraser , Sarah Jessica Parker and Alfred Molina . The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle ( 2000 ) is a theatrical film starring Rocky and Bullwinkle . It was a mix of live - action with Rocky and Bullwinkle appearing as computer animated cartoon characters created by Industrial Light & Magic . June Foray returned to voice Rocky , while Bullwinkle was voiced by Keith Scott . Robert De Niro , Jason Alexander and Rene Russo played the live - action versions of Fearless Leader , Boris and Natasha , respectively . This film takes place 35 years after the show 's cancellation . Mr. Peabody & Sherman is a 2014 animated film based off the two characters of the same name from the original cartoon . Rocky and Bullwinkle is a short animated film produced by DreamWorks Animation , and directed by Gary Trousdale . It was originally planned to theatrically accompany the DreamWorks ' feature film , Mr. Peabody & Sherman , but was instead released on the Blu - ray 3D release of the film . The short features June Foray as Rocky and Tom Kenny as Bullwinkle . Music recordings ( edit ) Golden Records released a phonograph album of songs , Rocky the Flying Squirrel & His Friends ( 1961 ) , using voice actors from the series . Boris and Natasha , for example sing : `` We will double , single and triple cross , our very closest friends ! '' A 78rpm single ( Golden 659 ) was released on yellow vinyl .", "22": "This had Rocky singing `` I Was Born To Be Airborne '' on one side , backed with Bullwinkle singing `` I 'm Rocky 's Pal '' . The single sold in grocery stores . Paul Parnes ( who later wrote songs for Sesame Street ) is credited as composer . `` Some nutty characters get together here for the benefit of the very young . Lots of laughs for the juvenile sense of humor . '' The pseudonymously - named Boris Badenough released a record called `` Hey Rocky ! '' on Trax Records in 1986 . The record featured a house - music beat underneath clips from the series . In 2007 , Blackstone Audio released the audio tracks of 15 of the Fractured Fairy Tales on CD . Toys ( edit ) In 1999 , Mattel released a collector numbered series under its Hot wheels toy line , the `` Car - Toon Friends '' series . It contains 4 cars ; The now retired model `` XT - 3 '' for Rocky , `` Double Vision '' for Bullwinkle , `` Saltflat Racer '' for Natasha , and `` Lakestar '' for Boris .

Following Lord Carnarvon 's successful introduction of federation in Canada , it was thought that similar political effort , coupled with military campaigns , might succeed with the African kingdoms , tribal areas and Boer republics in South Africa . In 1874 , Sir Henry Bartle Frere was sent to South Africa as High Commissioner for the British Empire to bring such plans into being . Among the obstacles were the presence of the independent states of the South African Republic and the Kingdom of Zululand and its army .", "1": "Frere , on his own initiative , without the approval of the British government and with the intent of instigating a war with the Zulu , had presented an ultimatum on 11 December 1878 , to the Zulu king Cetshwayo with which the Zulu king could not comply , including disbanding his army and abandoning key cultural traditions . Bartle Frere then sent Lord Chelmsford to invade Zululand after this ultimatum was not met . The war is notable for several particularly bloody battles , including an opening victory of the Zulu at the Battle of Isandlwana , followed by the defeat of a large Zulu army at Rorke 's Drift by a small force of British troops . The war eventually resulted in a British victory and the end of the Zulu nation 's dominance of the region .

Various interactions with these followed an expansionist policy . Cape Colony had been formed after the Anglo -- Dutch Treaty of 1814 permanently ceded the Dutch colony of Cape Town to Britain , and its territory expanded very substantially through the 1800s . The Colony of Natal was a British colony in south - eastern Africa that had been proclaimed a British colony on 4 May 1843 after the British government had annexed the Boer Republic of Natalia . Matters were brought to a head when three sons and a brother of the Zulu chief Sirayo organized a raid into Natal and carried off two women who were under British protection .", "2": "The discovery of diamonds in 1867 near the Vaal River , some 550 miles ( 890 km ) northeast of Cape Town , ended the isolation of the Boers in the interior and changed South African history . The discovery triggered a diamond rush that attracted people from all over the world , which turned Kimberley into a town of 50,000 within five years and drew the attention of British imperial interests . In the 1870s , the British annexed West Griqualand , site of the Kimberley diamond discoveries . In 1874 Lord Carnarvon , Secretary of State for the Colonies , who had successfully brought about federation in Canada in 1867 , thought that a similar scheme might work in South Africa . The South African plan called for a ruling white minority over a subjugated black majority , which would provide a large pool of cheap labor for the British sugar plantations and mines . Carnarvon , in an attempt to extend British influence in 1875 , approached the Boer states of the Orange Free State and the Transvaal Republic and tried to organize a federation of the British and Boer territories , but the Boer leaders turned him down . In 1877 , Sir Bartle Frere was made High Commissioner for Southern Africa by Lord Carnarvon . Carnarvon appointed Frere to the position on the understanding that he would work to enforce Carnarvon 's confederation plan and , in return , Frere could then become the first British governor of a federated southern African dominion . Frere was sent to South Africa as High Commissioner to bring it about . One of the obstacles to such a scheme was the presence of the independent states of the South African Republic , informally known as the Transvaal Republic , and the Kingdom of Zululand . Bartle Frere wasted no time in putting the scheme forward and manufacturing a casus belli against the Zulu by exaggerating the significance of a number of recent incidents . Bartle Frere By 1877 , Sir Theophilus Shepstone , the British Secretary for Native Affairs in Natal , annexed the Transvaal Republic for Britain using a special warrant .", "3": "The Transvaal Boers objected but as long as the Zulu threat remained , found themselves between two threats ; they feared that if they took up arms to resist the British annexation actively , King Cetshwayo and the Zulus would take the opportunity to attack . The successive British annexations , and in particular the annexation of West Griqualand , however caused a climate of simmering unease for the Boer republics . Shepstone , in his capacity as British governor of Natal , had expressed concerns about the Zulu army under King Cetshwayo and the potential threat to Natal -- especially given the adoption by some of the Zulus of old muskets and other out of date firearms . In his new role of Administrator of the Transvaal , he was now responsible for protecting the Transvaal and had direct involvement in the Zulu border dispute from the side of the Transvaal . Persistent Boer representations and Paul Kruger 's diplomatic manoeuvrings added to the pressure . There were incidents involving Zulu paramilitary actions on either side of the Transvaal / Natal border , and Shepstone increasingly began to regard King Cetshwayo , as having permitted such `` outrages , '' and to be in a `` defiant mood . '' King Cetshwayo now found no defender in Natal save the bishop of Natal , John Colenso . Colenso advocated for native Africans in Natal and Zululand who had been unjustly treated by the colonial regime in Natal . In 1874 he took up the cause of Langalibalele and the Hlubi and Ngwe tribes in representations to the Colonial Secretary , Lord Carnarvon . Langalibalele had been falsely accused of rebellion in 1873 and , following a charade of a trial , was found guilty and imprisoned on Robben Island . In taking the side of Langalibalele against the Colonial regime in Natal and Theophilus Shepstone , the Secretary for Native Affairs , Colenso found himself even further estranged from colonial society in Natal . Bishop Colenso 's concern about the misleading information that was being provided to the Colonial Secretary in London by Shepstone and the Governor of Natal prompted him to champion the cause of the Zulus against Boer oppression and official encroachments .", "4": "He was a prominent critic of Sir Bartle Frere 's efforts to depict the Zulu kingdom as a threat to Natal . Colenso 's campaigns revealed the dark , racist foundation underpinning the colonial regime in Natal and made him enemies among the colonists . British Prime Minister Disraeli 's Tory administration in London did not want a war with the Zulus . `` The fact is , '' wrote Sir Michael Hicks Beach , who would replace Carnarvon as Secretary of State for the Colonies , in November 1878 , `` that matters in Eastern Europe and India ... wore so serious an aspect that we can not have a Zulu war in addition to other greater and too possible troubles . '' However , Sir Bartle Frere had already been into the Cape Colony as governor and high commissioner since 1877 with the brief of creating a Confederation of South Africa from the various British colonies , Boer Republics and native states and his plans were well advanced . He had concluded that the powerful Zulu kingdom stood in the way of this , and so was receptive to Shepstone 's arguments that King Cetshwayo and his Zulu army posed a threat to the peace of the region . Preparations for a British invasion of the Zulu kingdom had been underway for months . In December 1878 , notwithstanding the reluctance of the British government to start yet another colonial war , Frere presented Cetshwayo with an ultimatum that the Zulu army be disbanded and the Zulus accept a British resident . This was unacceptable to the Zulus as it effectively meant that Cetshwayo , had he agreed , would have lost his throne . Zulu kingdom ( edit ) Photograph of Cetshwayo kaMpande , c. 1875 Shaka Zulu , the first Zulu king , had , through war and conquest , built the small Zulu tribe into the Zulu Kingdom which by 1825 encompassed an area of around 11,500 square miles ( 30,000 km ) . In 1828 he was assassinated at Dukuza by one of his inDunas and two of his half - brothers , one of whom , Dingane kaSenzangakhona , succeeded him as king .", "5": "By the 1830s migrating Boers came into conflict with the Zulu Kingdom , then ruled by Dingane . Dingane suffered a crushing defeat on 16 December 1838 , when he attacked a group of 470 Voortrekker settlers led by Pretorius at the Battle of Blood River . Dingane 's half brother , Mpande kaSenzangakhona , then defected with some 17,000 followers and allied with the Boers against Dingane . Dingane was assassinated and Mpande became king of the Zulu empire . In 1839 , the Boer Voortrekkers , under Pretorius , formed the Boer Republic of Natalia , south of the Tugela , and west of the British settlement of Port Natal ( now Durban ) . Mpande and Pretorius maintained peaceful relations . However , in 1842 , war broke out between the British and the Boers , resulting in the British annexation of Natalia . Mpande shifted his allegiance to the British , and remained on good terms with them . King Mpande In 1843 , Mpande ordered a purge of perceived dissidents within his kingdom . This resulted in numerous deaths , and the fleeing of thousands of refugees into neighbouring areas , including the British - controlled Natal . Many of these refugees fled with cattle , the main measure of the Zulu wealth . Mpande began raiding the surrounding areas , culminating in the invasion of Swaziland in 1852 . However , the British pressured him into withdrawing , which he did shortly . At this time , a battle for the succession broke out between two of Mpande 's sons , Cetshwayo and Mbuyazi . This culminated in 1856 with the Battle of Ndondakusuka , which left Mbuyazi dead . Cetshwayo then set about usurping his father 's authority . When Mpande died of old age in 1872 , Cetshwayo took over as ruler . In 1861 , Umtonga , a brother of Cetshwayo , and another son of Zulu king Mpande , fled to the Utrecht district , and Cetshwayo assembled an army on that frontier .", "6": "According to claims later brought forward by the Boers , Cetshwayo offered the farmers a strip of land along the border if they would surrender his brother . The Boers complied on the condition that Umtonga 's life was spared , and in 1861 Mpande signed a deed transferring this land to the Boers . The south boundary of the land added to Utrecht ran from Rorke 's Drift on the Buffalo to a point on the Pongola River . Zulu village , c. 1849 The boundary was beaconed in 1864 , but when in 1865 Umtonga fled from Zululand to Natal , Cetshwayo , seeing that he had lost his part of the bargain ( for he feared that Umtonga might be used to supplant him , as Mpande had been used to supplant Dingane ) , caused the beacon to be removed , and also claimed the land ceded by the Swazis to Lydenburg . The Zulus asserted that the Swazis were their vassals and therefore had no right to part with this territory . During the year a Boer commando under Paul Kruger and an army under Cetshwayo were posted to defend the newly acquired Utrecht border . The Zulu forces took back their land north of the Pongola . Questions were also raised as to the validity of the documents signed by the Zulus concerning the Utrecht strip ; in 1869 the services of the lieutenant - governor of Natal , then Robert William Keate , were accepted by both parties as arbitrator , but the attempt then made to settle disagreements proved unsuccessful . Cetshwayo permitted European missionaries in Zululand . However , the activities of the missionaries were unwelcome to Cetshwayo . Though he did not harm or persecute the missionaries themselves , several converts were killed . The missionaries , for their part , were a source of hostile reports . While numerous Zulus of rival factions fled into Natal and some of the surrounding areas , Cetshwayo continued and maintained the peaceful relations with the Natal colonists that had prevailed for decades . Such was the political background when Cetshwayo became absolute ruler of the Zulus upon his father 's death in 1873 .", "7": "As ruler , Cetshwayo set about reviving the military methods of his uncle Shaka as far as possible . He formed new age - set regiments and even succeeded in equipping his regiments with a few antiquated muskets and other outdated firearms . Most Zulu warriors were armed with an iklwa ( the Zulu refinement of the assegai thrusting spear ) and a shield made of cowhide . The Zulu army drilled in the personal and tactical use and coordination of this weapons system . While some Zulus also had firearms , their marksmanship training was poor and the quality and supply of powder and shot dreadful . The Zulu attitude towards firearms was that : `` The generality of Zulu warriors , however , would not have firearms -- the arms of a coward , as they said , for they enable the poltroon to kill the brave without awaiting his attack . '' Boundary commission and ultimatum ( edit ) The tension between Cetshwayo and the Transvaal over border disputes continued . Sir Theophilus Shepstone , whom Cetshwayo regarded as his friend , had supported him in the border dispute , but in 1877 he led a small force into the Transvaal and persuaded the Boers to give up their independence . Shepstone became administrator of the Transvaal , and in that role saw the border dispute from the other side . Shepstone claimed to have evidence supporting the Boer position but , ultimately , he failed to provide any . In a meeting with Zulu notables at Blood River in October 1877 , Shepstone attempted to placate the Zulu with paternal speeches , however they were unconvinced and accused Shepstone of betraying them . Shepstone 's subsequent reports to Carnarvon then began to paint the Zulu as an aggressive threat where he had previously presented Cetshwayo in a most favourable light . In February 1878 a commission was appointed by Henry Bulwer , the lieutenant - governor of Natal since 1875 , to report on the boundary question . The commission reported in July and found almost entirely in favour of the contention of the Zulu .", "8": "However , Sir Henry Bartle Frere , then high commissioner and still pressing forward with Carnarvon 's federation plan , characterized the award as `` one - sided and unfair to the Boers , '' stipulated that on the land being given to the Zulu , the Boers living on it should be compensated if they left or protected if they remained . In addition , Frere planned to use the meeting on the boundary commission report with the Zulu representatives to also present a surprise ultimatum he had devised that would allow British forces under Lord Chelmsford , which he had previously been instructed to use only in defense against a Zulu invasion of Natal , to instead invade Zululand . Three incidents occurred in late July , August and September which Frere seized upon as his casus belli and were the basis for the ultimatum to which Frere knew Cetshwayo could not comply , giving Frere a pretext to attack the Zulu kingdom . The first two incidents related to the flight into Natal of two wives of Sihayo kaXonga and their subsequent seizure and execution by his brother and sons and were described thus : `` A wife of the chief Sihayo had left him and escaped into Natal . She was followed ( on 28 July 1878 ) by a party of Zulus , under Mehlokazulu , the chief son of Sihayo , and his brother , seized at the kraal where she had taken refuge , and carried back to Zululand , where she was put to death , in accordance with Zulu law ... `` A week later the same young men , with two other brothers and an uncle , captured in like manner another refugee wife of Sihayo , in the company of the young man with whom she had fled . This woman was also carried back , and is supposed to have been put to death likewise ; the young man with her although guilty in Zulu eyes of a most heinous crime , punishable with death , was safe from them on English soil ; they did not touch him . '' The third incident occurred in September , when two men were detained while on a sand bank of the Thukela River near the Middle Drift . Sir Bartle Frere described this matter in a despatch to Sir Michael Hicks Beach , who had replaced Carnarvon as Secretary of State for the Colonies : `` Mr.", "9": "Smith , a surveyor in the Colonial Engineer Department , was on duty inspecting the road down to the Tugela , near Fort Buckingham , which had been made a few years ago by order of Sir Garnet Wolseley , and accompanied by Mr. Deighton , a trader , resident at Fort Buckingham , went down to the ford across the Tugela . The stream was very low , and ran under the Zulu bank , but they were on this side of it , and had not crossed when they were surrounded by a body of 15 or 20 armed Zulus , made prisoners , and taken off with their horses , which were on the Natal side of the river , and roughly treated and threatened for some time ; though , ultimately , at the instance of a headman who came up , they were released and allowed to depart . '' By themselves , these incidents were flimsy grounds upon which to found an invasion of Zululand . Bulwer did not initially hold Cetshwayo responsible for what was clearly not a political act in the seizure and murder of the two women . `` I have sent a message to the Zulu King to inform him of this act of violence and outrage by his subjects in Natal territory , and to request him to deliver Up to this Government to be tried for their offence , under the laws of the Colony , the persons of Mehlokazulu and Bekuzulu the two sons of Sirayo who were the leaders of the party . '' Cetshwayo also treated the complaint rather lightly , responding `` Cetywayo is sorry to have to acknowledge that the message brought by Umlungi is true , but he begs his Excellency will not take it in the light he sees the Natal Government seem to do , as what Sirayo 's sons did he can only attribute to a rash act of boys who in the zeal for their father 's house did not think of what they were doing . Cetywayo acknowledges that they deserve punishing , and he sends some of his izinduna , who will follow Umlungi with his words . Cetywayo states that no acts of his subjects will make him quarrel with his fathers of the house of Shaka . '' The original complaint carried to Cetshwayo from the lieutenant - governor was in the form of a request for the surrender of the culprits .", "10": "The request was subsequently transformed by Sir Bartle Frere into a ' demand ' . Frere wrote to Hicks Beach , 30 September 1878 : `` Apart from whatever may be the general wish of the Zulu nation , it seems to me that the seizure of the two refugee women in British territory by an armed force crossing an unmistakable and well known boundary line , and carrying them off and murdering them with contemptuous disregard for the remonstrances of the Natal policemen , is itself an insult and a violation of British territory which can not be passed over , and unless apologised and atoned for by compliance with the Lieutenant Governor 's demands , that the leaders of the murderous gangs shall be given up to justice , it will be necessary to send to the Zulu King an ultimatum which must put an end to pacific relations with our neighbours . '' In reply , in at least three dispatches , 17 October , 21 November and 18 December , Hicks Beach emphatically states that war is to be avoided and a British invasion of Zululand prohibited . From 21 November dispatch : `` ... Her Majesty 's Government have arrived , it is my duty to impress upon you that in supplying these reinforcements it is the desire of Her Majesty 's Government not to furnish means for a campaign of invasion and conquest , but to afford such protection as may be necessary at this juncture to the lives and property of the colonists . Though the present aspect of affairs is menacing in a high degree , I can by no means arrive at the conclusion that war with the Zulus should be unavoidable , and I am confident that you , in concert with Sir H. Bulwer , will use every effort to overcome the existing difficulties by judgment and forbearance , and to avoid an evil so much to be deprecated as a Zulu war . '' . Hicks Beach After considerable discussion and exchanges of views between Sir Bartle Frere and Sir Henry Ernest Gascoyne Bulwer , it was decided to arrange a meeting with representatives of the Zulu king . The ostensible reason for this indaba was to present the findings of the long - awaited Boundary Commission to the Zulu people . The occasion was also to be used to present the king with an ultimatum .", "11": "By the time the ultimatum was presented , the two infractions by Sihayo 's sons and the roughing up of Smith and Deighton were only part of the justification used , as several matters had arisen in the meantime . One of these was Cetshwayo 's apparent breaking of promises he had given to the then Mr Theophilus Shepstone at the king 's ' coronation ' in 1872 . This farcical piece of theatre had been agreed to by Cetshwayo simply to satisfy the wishes of Shepstone and meant nothing to the Zulu people . Indeed , his real Zulu installation had taken place several weeks earlier when he had been acclaimed by his izinduna . A second addition to the ultimatum , which seems almost like an afterthought , required the surrender of Mbelini kaMswati . Mbelini was the son of a Swazi king who unsuccessfully disputed the succession with his brother , resulting in his exile from the kingdom . He took refuge with Cetshwayo and was granted land in the region of the Intombe River in western Zululand . ( It is entirely possible that Cetshwayo regarded him as a useful buffer between him and the Boers of the Transvaal . ) Here , he took up residence on the Tafelberg , a flat - topped mountain overlooking the river . Something of a brigand , Mbelini made raids on anyone in his area , Boer and Zulu alike , accruing cattle and prisoners in the process . With the annexation of the Transvaal , Britain had also to deal with Mbelini and because Frere was convinced that the bandit chief was in the pay of the Zulu king , his surrender was included in the ultimatum . The light in which Mbelini was regarded is shown in a paragraph from a memorandum written by Sir Henry Bulwer : `` The King disowned Umbilini 's acts by saying that Umbilini had been giving him trouble , that he had left the Zulu country in order to wrest the Swazi chieftainship from his brother , the reigning Chief , and that if he returned he should kill him .", "12": "But there is nothing to show that he has in any way punished him , and , on the contrary , it is quite certain that even if Umbilini did not act with the express orders of Cetywayo , he did so with the knowledge that what he was doing would be agreeable to the King . '' Frere has been accused of chicanery by taking deliberate advantage of the length of time it took for correspondence to pass between South Africa and London to conceal his intentions from his political masters or at least defer giving them the necessary information until it was too late for them to act . The first intimation to the British government of his intention to make ' demands ' on the Zulu was in a private letter to Hicks Beach written on 14 October 1878 . The letter only arrived in London on 16 November and by then messengers had already been despatched from Natal to the Zulu king to request the presence of a delegation at the Lower Tugela on 11 December for the purpose of receiving the Boundary Commission 's findings . Had Hicks Beach then sent off a telegraph forbidding any action other than the announcement of the boundary award , it might have arrived in South Africa just in time to prevent the ultimatum being presented . No prohibition was sent and could hardly be expected to have been , for Hicks Beach had no means of knowing the urgency of the events that were in train . Nowhere in Frere 's letter was there anything to indicate how soon he intended to act , nor was there anything to suggest how stringent his demands would be . In January 1879 Hicks Beach wrote to Bartle Frere : `` I may observe that the communications which had previously been received from you had not entirely prepared them '' ( Her Majesty 's Government ) `` for the course which you have deemed it necessary to take . The representations made by Lord Chelmsford and yourself last autumn as to the urgent need of strengthening Her Majesty 's forces in South Africa were based upon the imminent danger of an invasion of Natal by the Zulus , and the inadequate means at that time at your disposal for meeting it . In order to afford protection to the lives and property of the colonists , the reinforcements asked for were supplied , and , in informing you of the decision of Her Majesty 's Government , I took the opportunity of impressing upon you the importance of using every effort to avoid war .", "13": "But the terms which you have dictated to the Zulu king , however necessary to relieve the colony in future from an impending and increasing danger , are evidently such as he may not improbably refuse , even at the risk of war ; and I regret that the necessity for immediate action should have appeared to you so imperative as to preclude you from incurring the delay which would have been involved in consulting Her Majesty 's Government upon a subject of so much importance as the terms which Cetywayo should be required to accept before those terms were actually presented to the Zulu king . '' Hicks Beach had earlier admitted his helplessness with regard to the Frere 's actions in a telling note to his Prime Minister : `` I have impressed this ( non-aggressive ) view upon Sir B. Frere , both officially and privately , to the best of my power . But I can not really control him without a telegraph ( I do n't know that I could with one ) I feel it is as likely as not that he is at war with the Zulus at the present moment . '' Frere wanted to provoke a conflict with the Zulus and in that goal he succeeded . Cetshwayo rejected the demands of 11 December , by not responding by the end of the year . A concession was granted by Bartle Frere until 11 January 1879 , after which Bartle Frere deemed a state of war to exist . The British forces intended for the defense of Natal had already been on the march with the intention to attack the Zulu kingdom . On 10 January they were poised on the border . On 11 January , they crossed the border and invaded Zululand . Terms of the ultimatum ( edit ) The terms which were included in the ultimatum delivered to the representatives of King Cetshwayo on the banks of the Thukela river at the Ultimatum Tree on 11 December 1878 . No time was specified for compliance with item 4 , twenty days were allowed for compliance with items 1 -- 3 , that is , until 31 December inclusive ; ten days more were allowed for compliance with the remaining demands , items 4 -- 13 . The earlier time limits were subsequently altered so that all expired on 10 January 1879 .", "14": "Surrender of Sihayo 's three sons and brother to be tried by the Natal courts . Payment of a fine of five hundred head of cattle for the outrages committed by the above and for Cetshwayo 's delay in complying with the request of the Natal Government for the surrender of the offenders . Payment of a hundred head of cattle for the offence committed against Messrs. Smith and Deighton . Surrender of the Swazi chief Umbilini and others to be named hereafter , to be tried by the Transvaal courts . Observance of the coronation promises . That the Zulu army be disbanded and the men allowed to go home . That the Zulu military system be discontinued and other military regulations adopted , to be decided upon after consultation with the Great Council and British Representatives . That every man , when he comes to man 's estate , shall be free to marry . All missionaries and their converts , who until 1877 lived in Zululand , shall be allowed to return and reoccupy their stations . All such missionaries shall be allowed to teach and any Zulu , if he chooses , shall be free to listen to their teaching . A British Agent shall be allowed to reside in Zululand , who will see that the above provisions are carried out . All disputes in which a missionary or European is concerned , shall be heard by the king in public and in presence of the Resident . No sentence of expulsion from Zululand shall be carried out until it has been approved by the Resident . For his part , Cetshwayo strenuously attempted to avoid war with the British and , should it occur , limit its scope and effects . He ordered his troops to defend their country only if attacked and not to carry the war beyond its borders . He directed them to avoid killing any of the invaders other than the regular British soldiers in their red coats .", "15": "British invasion and repulse ( edit ) Main articles : Battle of Inyezane , Battle of Isandlwana , Battle of Rorke 's Drift , Siege of Eshowe , Battle of Intombe , Battle of Hlobane , Battle of Kambula , and Battle of Gingindlovu Battle of Isandlwana painting by Charles Edwin Fripp ( 1854 -- 1906 ) The pretext for the war had its origins in border disputes between the Zulu leader , Cetshwayo , and the Boers in the Transvaal region . Following a commission enquiry on the border dispute which reported in favour of the Zulu nation in July 1878 , Sir Henry Bartle Frere , acting on his own , added an ultimatum to the commission meeting , much to the surprise of the Zulu representatives who then relayed it to Cetshwayo . Cetshwayo had not responded by the end of the year , so an extension was granted by Bartle Frere until 11 January 1879 . Cetshwayo returned no answer to the demands of Bartle Frere , and in January 1879 a British force under Lieutenant General Frederick Augustus Thesiger , 2nd Baron Chelmsford invaded Zululand , without authorization by the British Government . Lord Chelmsford , the Commander - in - Chief of British forces during the war , initially planned a five - pronged invasion of Zululand composed of over 15,000 troops in five columns and designed to encircle the Zulu army and force it to fight as he was concerned that the Zulus would avoid battle . In the event , Chelmsford settled on three invading columns with the main center column , now consisting of some 7800 men comprising the previously called No. 3 Column and Durnford 's No. 2 Column , under his direct command . He moved his troops from Pietermaritzburg to a forward camp at Helpmekaar , past Greytown . On 9 January 1879 they moved to Rorke 's Drift , and early on 11 January commenced crossing the Buffalo River into Zululand .", "16": "Three columns were to invade Zululand , from the Lower Tugela , Rorke 's Drift , and Utrecht respectively , their objective being Ulundi , the royal capital . While Cetshwayo 's army numbered perhaps 35,000 men , it was essentially a militia force which could be called out in time of national danger . It had a very limited logistical capacity and could only stay in the field a few weeks before the troops would be obliged to return to their civilian duties . Zulu warriors were armed primarily with Assegai thrusting spears , known in Zulu as iklwa , clubs , some throwing spears and shields made of cowhide . The initial entry of all three columns was unopposed . On 22 January the centre column , which had advanced from Rorke 's Drift , was encamped near Isandlwana ; on the morning of that day Lord Chelmsford split his forces and moved out to support a reconnoitering party , leaving the camp in charge of Colonel Pulleine . The British were outmanoeuvred by the main Zulu army nearly 20,000 strong led by Ntshingwayo kaMahole Khoza . Chelmsford was lured eastward with much of his centre column by a Zulu diversionary force while the main Impi attacked his camp . Chelmsford 's decision not to set up the British camp defensively , contrary to established doctrine , and ignoring information that the Zulus were close at hand were decisions that the British were soon to regret . The ensuing Battle of Isandlwana was the greatest victory that the Zulu kingdom would enjoy during the war . The British centre column was wrecked and its camp annihilated with heavy casualties as well as the loss of all its supplies , ammunition and transport . The defeat left Chelmsford no choice but to hastily retreat out of Zululand . In the battle 's aftermath , a party of some 4,000 Zulu reserves mounted an unauthorised raid on the nearby British army border post of Rorke 's Drift and were driven off after 10 hours of ferocious fighting .", "17": "Zulu warriors , 1879 ( Charles Edwin Fripp ) While the British central column under Chelmsford 's command was thus engaged , the right flank column on the coast , under Colonel Charles Pearson , crossed the Tugela River , skirmished with a Zulu impi that was attempting to set up an ambush at the Inyezane River , and advanced as far as the deserted missionary station of Eshowe , which he set about fortifying . On learning of the disaster at Isandlwana , Pearson made plans to withdraw back beyond the Tugela River . However , before he had decided whether or not to put these plans into effect , the Zulu army managed to cut off his supply lines , and the Siege of Eshowe had begun . Meanwhile , the left flank column at Utrecht , under Colonel Evelyn Wood , had originally been charged with occupying the Zulu tribes of north - west Zululand and preventing them from interfering with the British central column 's advance on Ulundi . To this end Wood set up camp at Tinta 's Kraal , just 10 miles south of Hlobane Mountain , where a force of 4,000 Zulus had been spotted . He planned to attack them on 24 January , but on learning of the disaster at Isandlwana , he decided to withdraw back to the Kraal . Thus one month after the British invasion , only their left flank column remained militarily effective , and it was too weak to conduct a campaign alone . The first invasion of Zululand had been a failure . Battle of the Intombe river It had never been Cetshwayo 's intention to invade Natal , but to simply fight within the boundaries of the Zulu kingdom . Chelmsford used the next two months to regroup and build a fresh invading force with the initial intention of relieving Pearson at Eshowe . The British government rushed seven regiments of re-inforcements to Natal , along with two artillery batteries . On 12 March , an armed escort of stores marching to Luneberg , was defeated by about 500 Zulus at the Battle of Intombe ; the British force suffered 80 killed and all the stores were lost . The first troops arrived at Durban on 7 March .", "18": "On the 29th a column , under Lord Chelmsford , consisting of 3,400 British and 2,300 African soldiers , marched to the relief of Eshowe , entrenched camps being formed each night . Chelmsford ordered Sir Evelyn Wood 's troops to attack the abaQulusi Zulu stronghold in Hlobane . Lieutenant Colonel Redvers Buller , led the attack on Hlobane on 28 March . However , as the Zulu main army of 20,000 men approached to help their besieged tribesmen , the British force began a retreat which turned into a rout and were pursued by 1,000 Zulus of the abaQulusi who inflicted some 225 casualties on the British force . The next day 20,000 Zulu warriors attacked Wood 's 2,068 men in a well - fortified camp at Kambula , apparently without Cetshwayo 's permission . The British held them off in the Battle of Kambula and after five hours of heavy attacks the Zulus withdrew with heavy losses but were pursued by British mounted troops , who killed many more fleeing and wounded warriors . British losses amounted to 83 ( 28 killed and 55 wounded ) , while the Zulus lost up to 2,000 killed . The effect of the battle of Kambula on the Zulu army was severe . Their commander Mnyamana tried to get the regiments to return to Ulundi but many demoralised warriors simply went home . The burning of Ulundi While Woods was thus engaged , Chelmsford 's column was marching on Eshowe . On 2 April this force was attacked en route at Gingindlovu , the Zulu being repulsed . Their losses were heavy , estimated at 1,200 while the British only suffered two dead and 52 wounded . The next day they relieved Pearson 's men . They evacuated Eshowe on 5 April , after which the Zulu forces burned it down . Second invasion and the defeat of the Zulus ( edit ) Main article : Battle of Ulundi Last Sleep of the Brave , 1879 ( Alphonse de Neuville ) The new start of the larger , heavily reinforced second invasion was not promising for the British .", "19": "Despite their successes at Kambula , Gingindlovu and Eshowe , they were right back where they had started from at the beginning of January . Nevertheless , Chelmsford had a pressing reason to proceed with haste -- Sir Garnet Wolseley was being sent to replace him , and he wanted to inflict a decisive defeat on Cetshwayo 's forces before then . With yet more reinforcements arriving , soon to total 16,000 British and 7,000 Native troops , Chelmsford reorganised his forces and again advanced into Zululand in June , this time with extreme caution building fortified camps all along the way to prevent any repeat of Isandlwana . One of the early British casualties was the exiled heir to the French throne , Imperial Prince Napoleon Eugene , who had volunteered to serve in the British army and was killed on 1 June while out with a reconnoitering party . Cetshwayo , knowing that the newly reinforced British would be a formidable opponent , attempted to negotiate a peace treaty . Chelmsford was not open to negotiations , as he wished to restore his reputation before Wolseley relieved him of command , and he proceeded to the royal kraal of Ulundi , intending to defeat the main Zulu army . On 4 July , the armies clashed at the Battle of Ulundi , and Cetshwayo 's forces were decisively defeated .

Wolseley , having relieved Chelmsford after Ulundi , took over the final operations .", "20": "On 28 August the king was captured and sent to Cape Town ( It is said that scouts spotted the water - carriers of the king , distinctive because the water was carried above , not upon , their heads ) . His deposition was formally announced to the Zulu . Wolseley wasted no time in discarding Bartle Frere 's confederation scheme and drew up a new scheme which divided Zululand into thirteen chiefdoms headed by compliant chiefs which ensured that the Zulus would no longer unite under a single king and made internal divisions and civil wars inevitable . The dynasty of Shaka was deposed , and the Zulu country portioned among eleven Zulu chiefs , including Usibepu , John Dunn , a white adventurer , and Hlubi , a Basuto chief allied to the British in the war . Chelmsford received a Knight Grand Cross of Bath , largely because of Ulundi , however , he was severely criticized by the Horse Guards investigation and he would never serve in the field again . Bartle Frere was relegated to a minor post in Cape Town . Following the conclusion of the Anglo - Zulu War , Bishop Colenso interceded on behalf of Cetshwayo with the British government and succeeded in getting him released from Robben Island and returned to Zululand in 1883 . A Resident ( Melmoth Osborn ) was appointed to be the channel of communication between the chiefs and the British government . This arrangement led to much bloodshed and disturbance , and in 1882 the British government determined to restore Cetshwayo to power . In the meantime , however , blood feuds had been engendered between the chiefs Usibepu ( Zibebu ) and Hamu on the one side and the tribes who supported the ex-king and his family on the other . Cetshwayo 's party ( who now became known as the Usuthu ) suffered severely at the hands of the two chiefs , who were aided by a band of white freebooters . When Cetshwayo was restored Usibepu was left in possession of his territory , while Dunn 's land and that of the Basuto chief ( the country between the Tugela River and the Umhlatuzi , i.e.", "21": "adjoining Natal ) was constituted a reserve , in which locations were to be provided for Zulu unwilling to serve the restored king . This new arrangement proved as futile as had Wolseley 's . Usibepu , having created a formidable force of well - armed and trained warriors , and being left in independence on the borders of Cetshwayo 's territory , viewed with displeasure the re-installation of his former king , and Cetshwayo was desirous of humbling his relative . A collision very soon took place ; Usibepu 's forces were victorious , and on 22 July 1883 , led by a troop of mounted Boer mercenary troops , he made a sudden descent upon Cetshwayo 's kraal at Ulundi , which he destroyed , massacring such of the inmates of both sexes as could not save themselves by flight . The king escaped , though wounded , into Nkandla forest . After appeals to Melmoth Osborn he moved to Eshowe , where he died soon after .

{ "0": "Blond - wikipedia Blond Jump to : navigation , search `` Blonde '' redirects here . For other uses , see Blond ( disambiguation ) and Blonde ( disambiguation ) . `` Platinum blond '' redirects here . It is not to be confused with Platinum Blonde ( disambiguation ) . A girl with light blonde hair Blond ( male ) , blonde ( female ) , or fair hair , is a hair color characterized by low levels of the dark pigment eumelanin . The resultant visible hue depends on various factors , but always has some sort of yellowish color . The color can be from the very pale blond ( caused by a patchy , scarce distribution of pigment ) to reddish `` strawberry '' blond or golden - brownish ( `` sandy '' ) blond colors ( the latter with more eumelanin ) . Because hair color tends to darken with age , natural blond hair is generally very rare in adulthood . Naturally - occurring blond hair is primarily found in populations of northern European descent and is believed to have evolved to enable more efficient synthesis of Vitamin D , due to northern Europe 's lower levels of sunlight . Blond hair has also developed in other populations , although it is usually not as common , and can be found among natives of the Solomon Islands , Vanuatu , and Fiji , among the Berbers of North Africa , and among some Asians . In human culture , blond hair has long been associated with female beauty . Aphrodite , the Greek goddess of love and beauty , was reputed to have blond hair . In ancient Greece and Rome , blond hair was frequently associated with prostitutes , who dyed their hair using saffron dyes in order to attract customers . The Greeks stereotyped Thracians and slaves as blond and the Romans associated blondness with the Celts and the Germans to the north . In western Europe during the Middle Ages , long , blond hair was idealized as the paragon of female beauty . The Norse goddess Sif and the medieval heroine Iseult were both significantly portrayed as blond and , in medieval artwork , Eve , Mary Magdalene , and the Virgin Mary are often shown with blond hair . In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century , scientific racists categorized blond hair and blue eyes as characteristics of the supreme Nordic race .", "1": "In contemporary culture , blond women are often stereotyped as sexually attractive , but unintelligent .

Origins and meanings The word `` blond '' is first documented in English in 1481 and derives from Old French blund , blont , meaning `` a colour midway between golden and light chestnut '' . It gradually eclipsed the native term `` fair '' , of same meaning , from Old English fæġer , causing `` fair '' later to become a general term for `` light complexioned '' . This earlier use of `` fair '' survives in the proper name Fairfax , from Old English fæġer - feahs meaning `` blond hair '' . The French ( and thus also the derived English ) word `` blond '' has two possible origins . Some linguists say it comes from Medieval Latin blundus , meaning `` yellow '' , from Old Frankish blund which would relate it to Old English blonden - feax meaning `` grey - haired '' , from blondan / blandan meaning `` to mix '' ( Cf . blend ) . Also , Old English beblonden meant `` dyed '' , as ancient Germanic warriors were noted for dyeing their hair . However , linguists who favor a Latin origin for the word say that Medieval Latin blundus was a vulgar pronunciation of Latin flavus , also meaning `` yellow '' .", "2": "Most authorities , especially French , attest the Frankish origin . The word was reintroduced into English in the 17th century from French , and was for some time considered French ; in French , `` blonde '' is a feminine adjective ; it describes a woman with blonde hair . Usage Emperor Pedro II of Brazil with blond hair , c. 1846 `` Blond '' , with its continued gender - varied usage , is one of few adjectives in written English to retain separate masculine and feminine grammatical genders . Each of the two forms , however , is pronounced identically . American Heritage 's Book of English Usage propounds that , insofar as `` a blonde '' can be used to describe a woman but not a man who is merely said to possess blond ( e ) hair , the term is an example of a `` sexist stereotype ( whereby ) women are primarily defined by their physical characteristics . '' The Oxford English Dictionary ( OED ) records that the phrase `` big blond beast '' was used in the 20th century to refer specifically to men `` of the Nordic type '' ( that is to say , blond - haired ) . The OED also records that blond as an adjective is especially used with reference to women , in which case it is likely to be spelt `` blonde '' , citing three Victorian usages of the term . The masculine version is used in the plural , in `` blonds of the European race '' , in a citation from 1833 Penny cyclopedia , which distinguishes genuine blondness as a Caucasian feature distinct from albinism . By the early 1990s , `` blonde moment '' or being a `` dumb blonde '' had come into common parlance to mean `` an instance of a person , esp . a woman ... being foolish or scatter - brained . '' Another hair color word of French origin , brunet ( te ) ( from the same Germanic root that gave `` brown '' ) , functions in the same way in orthodox English . The OED gives `` brunet '' as meaning `` dark - complexioned '' or a `` dark - complexioned person '' , citing a comparative usage of brunet and blond to Thomas Henry Huxley in saying , `` The present contrast of blonds and brunets existed among them . '' `` Brunette '' can be used , however , like `` blonde '' , to describe a mixed - gender populace .", "3": "The OED quotes Grant Allen , `` The nation which resulted ... being sometimes blonde , sometimes brunette . '' `` Blond '' and `` blonde '' are also occasionally used to refer to objects that have a color reminiscent of fair hair . For example , the OED records its use in 19th - century poetic diction to describe flowers , `` a variety of clay ironstone of the coal measures '' , `` the colour of raw silk '' , a breed of ray , lager beer , and pale wood . Varieties Various subcategories of blond hair have been defined to describe the different shades and sources of the hair color more accurately . Common examples include the following : Blondes of different shades at WTMD 's First Thursday series in Canton , Baltimore , Maryland , United States , in June 2014 ash - blond : ashen or grayish blond . bleached blond , bottle blond , or peroxide blond : terms used to refer to artificially colored blond hair . blond / flaxen : when distinguished from other varieties , `` blond '' by itself refers to a light but not whitish blond , with no traces of red , gold , or brown ; this color is often described as `` flaxen '' . dirty blond or dishwater blond : dark blond with flecks of golden blond and brown . golden blond : a darker to rich , golden - yellow blond ( found mostly in Northeastern Europe , i.e. , Russia , Estonia ) . honey blond : dark iridescent blond . platinum blond or towheaded : whitish - blond ; almost all platinum blonds are children , although it is found on people in Northern Europe . `` Platinum blond '' is often used to describe bleached hair , while `` towheaded '' generally refers to natural hair color . sandy blond : grayish - hazel or cream - colored blond . strawberry blond or Venetian blond : reddish blond yellow : yellow - blond ( `` yellow '' can also be used to refer to hair which has been dyed yellow ) . A woman with long blonde hair A young man with light blond hair A woman with long blonde hair from behind Evolution of blond hair Natural lighter hair colors occur most often in Europe and less frequently in other areas . In Northern European populations , the occurrence of blond hair is very frequent .", "4": "The hair color gene MC1R has at least seven variants in Europe , giving the continent a wide range of hair and eye shades . Based on a genetic research carried out at three Japanese universities , the date of the genetic mutation that resulted in blond hair in Europe has been isolated to about 11,000 years ago during the last ice age . A typical explanation found in the scientific literature for the evolution of light hair is related to the evolution of light skin , and in turn the requirement for vitamin D synthesis and northern Europe 's seasonal less solar radiation . Lighter skin is due to a low concentration in pigmentation , thus allowing more sunlight to trigger the production of vitamin D. In this way , high frequencies of light hair in northern latitudes are a result of the light skin adaptation to lower levels of solar radiation , which reduces the prevalence of rickets caused by vitamin D deficiency . The darker pigmentation at higher latitudes in certain ethnic groups such as the Inuit is explained by a greater proportion of seafood in their diet and by the climate which they live in , because in the polar climate there is more ice or snow on the ground , and this reflects the solar radiation onto the skin , making this environment lack the conditions for the person to have blond , brown or red hair , light skin and blue , grey or green eyes . An alternative hypothesis was presented by Canadian anthropologist Peter Frost , who claims blond hair evolved very quickly in a specific area at the end of the last ice age by means of sexual selection . According to Frost , the appearance of blond hair and blue eyes in some northern European women made them stand out from their rivals , and more sexually appealing to men , at a time of fierce competition for scarce males . Recent archaeological and genetic study published in 2014 found that seven `` Scandinavian hunter - gatherers '' found in the 7,700 - year - old Motala archaeological site in southern Sweden had both light skin gene variants , SLC24A5 and SLC45A2 , and that they had a third gene , HERC2 / OCA2 , which causes blue eyes and also contributes to lighter skin and blond hair .", "5": "Genetic research published in 2014 and 2015 also indicates that Yamnaya Proto - Indo - Europeans who migrated to Europe in the Bronze Age were overwhelmingly dark - eyed ( brown ) , dark - haired and had a skin colour that was moderately light , though somewhat darker than that of the average modern European . Light pigmentation traits had already existed in pre-Indo - European Europeans ( both farmers and hunter - gatherers ) , and long - standing philological attempts to correlate them with the arrival of Indo - Europeans from the steppes were misguided . It is now hypothesized by researchers that blond hair evolved more than once . Published in May 2012 in Science , a study of people from the Solomon Islands in Melanesia found that an amino acid change in TYRP1 produced blonde hair . Prevalence Toddler with golden blonde hair Blond hair is most common in light - skinned infants and children , so much so that the term `` baby blond '' is often used for very light colored hair . Babies may be born with blond hair even among groups where adults rarely have blond hair , although such natural hair usually falls out quickly . Blond hair tends to turn darker with age , and many children 's blond hair turns light , medium , dark brown or black before or during their adult years . Because blond hair tends to turn brunette with age , natural blond hair is rare in adulthood ; according to the sociologist Christie Davies , only around five percent of adults in Europe and North America are naturally blond . A study conducted in 2003 concluded that only four percent of American adults are naturally blond . Nonetheless , a significant majority of Caucasian women ( perhaps as high as three in four ) dye their hair blond , a significantly higher percentage than for any other hair color . Europe A map published by Carleton S. Coon , attributed to Elmer Rising ( 1939 ) Blond hair is most common in Scandinavia and the Baltic Sea countries , where true blondism is believed to have originated . The pigmentation of both hair and eyes is lightest around the Baltic Sea , and darkness increases regularly and almost concentrically around this region .", "6": "In France , according to a source published 1939 , blondism is more common in Normandy , and less common in the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean seacoast ; 26 % of French population has blond or light brown hair . A 2007 study of French females showed that by then roughly 20 % were blonde , although half of these blondes were fully fake . Roughly ten percent of French females are natural blondes , of which 60 % bleach their hair to a lighter nuance of blonde . In Portugal , an average 11 % of the population shows traces of blondism , peaking at 14.3 -- 15.1 % blondes in Povoa de Varzim in northern Portugal . In northern Spain , 17 % of the population shows traces of blondism , but in southern Spain just 2 % of the people are blond . In Italy , a study of Italian men conducted by Ridolfo Livi between 1859 and 1863 on the records of the National Conscription Service showed that 8.2 % of Italian men exhibited blond hair . Blondism frequency varies among regions from 12.6 % in Veneto , to 1.7 % in Sardinia . In a more detailed study from the 20th century geneticist Renato Biasutti , the regional contrasts of blondism frequency are better shown , with a greater occurrence in the northern regions where the figure could be over 20 % , and a lesser occurrence in the south such as Sardinia where the frequency was less than 2.4 % . With the exception of Benevento and the surrounding area where various shades of blond hair were present in 10 % -- 14.9 % of the population , other southern regions averaged between 2.5 % and 7.4 % . Africa Blondism is a common sight among Berbers of North Africa , especially in the Rif and Kabyle region . Blondism frequency varies among Berbers from 1 % among Jerban Berbers and 4 % among Mozabite Berbers and Shawia Berbers , to 11 % among Kabyle Berbers . In South Africa where there is a significant population of whites , mainly from Dutch and English ancestry , blondes may account for 3 - 4 % of the South African population .", "7": "A number of blonde naturally mummified bodies of common people ( i.e. not proper mummies ) dating to Roman times have been found in the Fagg El Gamous cemetery in Egypt . `` Of those whose hair was preserved 54 % were blondes or redheads , and the percentage grows to 87 % when light - brown hair color is added . '' Excavations have been ongoing since the 1980s . Burials seem to be clustered by hair - colour . Oceania Blonde girl from Vanuatu Aboriginal Australians , especially in the west - central parts of the continent , have a high frequency of natural blond - to - brown hair . Blondness is also found in some other parts of the South Pacific , such as the Solomon Islands , Vanuatu , and Fiji , again with higher incidences in children . Blond hair in Melanesians is caused by an amino acid change in the gene TYRP1 . This mutation is at a frequency of 26 % in the Solomon Islands and is absent outside of Oceania . Asia Blonde hair can be found in any region of Asia , including West Asia , East Asia , Central Asia , and South Asia . In these parts of Asia blond hair is generally seen among children and usually turns into a shade of dark brown in adulthood . Environmental factors , for example sun exposure and nutrition status , often contribute to changes in hair color in Asia . Genetic research published in 2014 , 2015 and 2016 found that Yamnaya Proto - Indo - Europeans , who migrated to Europe in the early Bronze Age were overwhelmingly dark - eyed ( brown ) and dark - haired , and had a skin colour that was moderately light , though somewhat darker than that of the average modern European . While light pigmentation traits had already existed in pre-Indo - European Europeans ( both farmers and hunter - gatherers ) , long - standing philological attempts to correlate them with the arrival of Indo - Europeans from the steppes were misguided .", "8": "Uyghur girl in Turpan , Xinjiang , China According to genetic studies , Yamnaya Proto - Indo - European migration to Europe led to Corded Ware culture , where Yamnaya Proto - Indo - Europeans mixed with `` Scandinavian hunter - gatherer '' women who carried genetic alleles HERC2 / OCA2 , which causes combination of blue eyes and blond hair . Proto - Indo - Iranians who split from Corded Ware culture formed the Andronovo culture and are believed to have spread genetic alleles HERC2 / OCA2 that cause blonde hair to parts of West Asia , Central Asia and South Asia . Genetic analysis in 2014 also found that people of the Afanasevo culture which flourished in the Altai Mountains were genetically identical to Yamnaya Proto - Indo - Europeans and that they did not carry genetic alleles for blonde hair or light eyes . The Afanasevo culture was later replaced by a second wave of Indo - European invaders from the Andronovo culture , who were a product of Corded Ware admixture that took place in Europe , and carried genetic alleles that cause blond hair and light eyes . In 2009 and 2014 , genomic study of Tarim mummies discovered in the Tarim Basin in present - day Xinjiang , China , showed that they were also a product of a Corded Ware admixture and were genetically closer to the Andronovo culture ( which split from Corded Ware culture ) than to the Yamnaya culture or Afanasevo culture . Today , higher frequencies of light hair in Asia are more prevalent among Pamiris , Kalash , Nuristani and Uyghur children than in adult populations of these ethnic groups . About 75 % of Russia is geographically considered North Asia ; however , the Asian portion of Russia contributes to only an estimate of 20 % of Russia 's total population . North Asia 's population has an estimate of 1 - 19 % with light hair . From the times of the Russian Tsardom of the 17th century through the Soviet Union rule in the 20th century , many ethnic Russians , Ukrainians , Belarusians , Lithuanians , Latvians , and Estonians were settled in or exiled en masse to Siberia and Central Asia . Blond hair is often seen in these groups , whereas the indigenous peoples are more likely to be dark haired .", "9": "For instance , their descendants currently contribute to an estimated 25 % of Kazakhstan 's total population . Americas Many actors and actresses in Latin America and Hispanic United States have blond hair , blue eyes , and pale skin . Historical cultural perceptions Ancient Greece Left image : Reconstructed Blond Kouros 's Head of the Acropolis , c. 480 BC . Right image : Ganymede , a Trojan youth , rolling a hoop , Attic vase c. 500 BC . Most people in ancient Greece had dark hair and , as a result of this , the Greeks found blond hair immensely fascinating . In the Homeric epics , Menelaus the king of the Spartans is , together with some other Achaean leaders , portrayed as blond . Other blond characters in the Homeric poems are Peleus , Achilles , Meleager , Agamede , and Rhadamanthys . Aphrodite , the Greek goddess of love and beauty , was often described as golden - haired and portrayed with this color hair in art . Aphrodite 's master epithet in the Homeric epics is Χρυσεη ( Khryseē ) , which means `` golden '' . The traces of hair color on Greek korai probably reflect the colors the artists saw in natural hair ; these colors include a broad diversity of shades of blond , red , and brown . The minority of statues with blond hair range from strawberry blond up to platinum blond . Sappho of Lesbos ( c. 630 - 570 BC ) wrote that purple - colored wraps as headdress were good enough , except if the hair was blonde : `` ... for the girl who has hair that is yellower than a torch ( it is better to decorate it ) with wreaths of flowers in bloom . '' Sappho also praises Aphrodite for her golden hair , stating that since gold metal is free from rust , the goddess 's golden hair represents her freedom from ritual pollution . Sappho 's contemporary Alcman of Sparta praised golden hair as one of the most desirable qualities of a beautiful woman , describing in various poems `` the girl with the yellow hair '' and a girl `` with the hair like purest gold . ''", "10": "In the fifth century BC , the sculptor Pheidias may have depicted the Greek goddess of wisdom Athena 's hair using gold in his famous statue of Athena Parthenos , which was displayed inside the Parthenon . The Greeks thought of the Thracians who lived to the north as having reddish - blond hair . Because many Greek slaves were captured from Thrace , slaves were stereotyped as blond or red - headed . `` Xanthias '' ( Ξανθίας ) , meaning `` reddish blond '' , was a common name for slaves in ancient Greece and a slave by this name appears in many of the comedies of Aristophanes . The most famous statue of Aphrodite , the Aphrodite of Knidos , sculpted in the fourth century BC by Praxiteles , represented the goddess 's hair using gold leaf and contributed to the popularity of the image of Aphrodite as a blonde goddess . Greek prostitutes frequently dyed their hair blond using saffron dyes or colored powders . Blond dye was highly expensive , took great effort to apply , and smelled repugnant , but none of these factors inhibited Greek prostitutes from dying their hair . As a result of this and the natural rarity of blond hair in the Mediterranean region , by the fourth century BC , blond hair was inextricably associated with prostitutes . The comic playwright Menander ( c. 342 / 41 -- c. 290 BC ) protests that `` no chaste woman ought to make her hair yellow . '' At another point , he deplores blonde hair dye as dangerous : `` What can we women do wise or brilliant , who sit with hair dyed yellow , outraging the character of gentlewomen , causing the overthrow of houses , the ruin of nuptials , and accusations on the part of children ? '' Historian and Egyptologist Joann Fletcher asserts that the Macedonian ruler Alexander the Great and members of the Macedonian - Greek Ptolemaic dynasty of Hellenistic Egypt had blond hair , such as Arsinoe II and Berenice II , while Cleopatra VII was likely a redhead given her appearance in a near - contemporary Roman painting from Herculaneum . Historian Michael Grant notes that Ptolemy II Philadelphus , pharaoh and husband to queen Arsinoe II , also had blonde hair .", "11": "The male figure of the Etruscan sarcophagus known as the Sarcophagus of the Spouses ( Louvre , Paris ) , 520 - 510 BC The goddess Hera ( according to the description on the cup ) ; tondo of an Attic white - ground kylix from Vulci , c. 470 BC Terracotta vase in the shape of Dionysus ' head , c. 410 BC ; on display in the Ancient Agora Museum in Athens , housed in the Stoa of Attalus Pottery vessel of Aphrodite in a shell ; from Attica , Classical Greece , discovered at Phanagoria , Taman Peninsula ( Bosporan Kingdom , southern Russia ) , early 4th century BC , Hermitage Museum , Saint Petersburg An ancient Greek pottery ( terracotta ) figurine from Taras ( modern Taranto ) , Magna Graecia , Altes Museum A mosaic of the Kasta Tomb in Amphipolis depicting the abduction of Persephone by Pluto , 4th century BC A youth pours a libation to a dead man sitting in a naiskos ; from an Apulian red - figure volute - krater pelike , 340 -- 320 BC Stag Hunt Mosaic , possibly depicting Alexander the Great , Pella , Greece , 4th century BC .

The preference changed to bleaching the hair blond when Greek culture , which practiced bleaching , reached Rome , and was reinforced when the legions that conquered Gaul returned with blond slaves . Sherrow also states that Roman women tried to lighten their hair , but the substances often caused hair loss , so they resorted to wigs made from the captives ' hair . According to Francis Owens , Roman literary records describe a large number of well - known Roman historical personalities as blond .", "13": "In addition , 250 individuals are recorded to have had the name Flavius , meaning yellow , and there are various people named Rufus and Rutilius , meaning red haired and reddish - haired , respectively . Juvenal wrote in a satirical poem that Messalina , Roman empress of noble birth , would hide her black hair with a blonde wig for her nightly visits to the brothel : sed nigrum flavo crinem abscondente galero intravit calidum veteri centone lupanar . In his Commentary on the Aeneid of Virgil , Maurus Servius Honoratus noted that the respectable matron was only black haired , never blonde . In the same passage , he mentioned that Cato the Elder wrote that some matrons would sprinkle golden dust on their hair to make it reddish - color . Emperor Lucius Verus ( r . 161 -- 169 AD ) was said to sprinkle gold - dust on his already `` golden '' blond hair to make it even blonder and brighter . Commodus ( r . 177 - 192 ) , son of Marcus Aurelius ( a co-emperor with Lucius Verus ) , likewise had naturally curly blond hair . Roman frescoes from the Villa di Arianna , Stabiae , Italy , 1st century AD On the left : a domestic scene of a seated young man On the right : another domestic scene showing a woman looking in a mirror as she dresses ( or undresses ) her hair From an ethnic point of view , Roman authors associated blond and red hair with the Gauls and the Germans : e.g. , Virgil describes the hair of the Gauls as `` golden '' ( aurea caesaries ) , Tacitus wrote that `` the Germans have fierce blue eyes , red - blond hair ( rutilae comae ) , huge ( tall ) frames '' ; in accordance with Ammianus , almost all the Gauls were `` of tall stature , fair and ruddy '' . Celtic and Germanic peoples of the provinces , among the free subjects called peregrini , served in Rome 's armies as auxilia , such as the cavalry contingents in the army of Julius Caesar . Some became Roman citizens as far back as the 1st century BC , following a policy of Romanization of Gaul and Lesser Germania .", "14": "For instance , Gaius Julius Civilis , a prince of the Batavii , was a Roman citizen either by birth or naturalization ( as indicated by his name ) . Before the Constitutio Antoniniana , which granted citizenship to all free men of the empire in 212 AD , entire auxiliary cohorts were occasionally granted citizenship for their performance in battle . Sometimes entire Celtic and Germanic tribes were granted citizenship , such as when emperor Otho granted citizenship to all of the Lingones in 69 AD . By the 1st century BC , the Roman Republic had expanded its control into parts of western Germany , and by 85 AD the provinces of Germania Inferior and Germania Superior were formally established there . Yet as late as the 4th century AD , Ausonius , a poet and tutor from Burdigala , wrote a poem about an Alemanni slave girl named Bissula , who he had recently freed after she 'd been taken as a prisoner of war in the campaigns of Valentinian I , noting that her adopted Latin language marked her as a woman of Latium yet her blond - haired , blue - eyed appearance ultimately signified her true origins from the Rhine . Further south , the Iberian peninsula was originally inhabited by Celtiberians outside of Roman control . The gradual Roman conquest of Iberia was completed by the early 1st century AD . The Romans established provinces such as Hispania Terraconensis that were inhabited largely by Gallaeci , whose red and blond - haired descendants ( which also include those of Visigothic origins ) have continued to inhabit northern areas of Spain such as Galicia and Portugal into the modern era . During the medieval period Spanish ladies preferred to dye their hair black , yet by the time of the Renaissance in the 16th century the fashion ( imported from Italy ) was to dye their hair blond or red .

In Norse mythology , the goddess Sif has famously blonde hair , which some scholars have identified as representing golden wheat . In the Old Norse Gunnlaug Saga , Helga the Beautiful , described as `` the most beautiful woman in the world '' , is said to have hair that is `` as fair as beaten gold '' and so long that it can `` envelope her entirely '' .", "17": "In the Poetic Edda poem Rígsþula , the blond man Jarl is considered to be the ancestor of the dominant warrior class . In Northern European folklore , supernatural beings value blonde hair in humans . Blonde babies are more likely to be stolen and replaced with changelings , and young blonde women are more likely to be lured away to the land of the beings . The Scandinavians were not the only ones to place strong emphasis on the beauty of blonde hair ; the French writer Christine de Pisan writes in her book The Treasure of the City of Ladies ( 1404 ) that `` there is nothing in the world lovelier on a woman 's head than beautiful blond hair . '' In medieval artwork , female saints are often shown with long , shimmering blonde hair , which emphasizes their holiness and virginity . At the same time , however , Eve is often shown with long , blonde hair , which frames her nude body and draws attention to her sexual attractiveness . In medieval Gothic paintings of the crucifixion of Jesus , the figure of Mary Magdalene is shown with long , blond hair , which flows down her back unbound in contrast to most of the women in the scenes , who are shown with dark hair , normally covered by a scarf . In the older versions of the story of Tristan and Iseult , Tristan falls in love with Iseult after seeing only a single lock of her long , blonde hair . In fact , Iseult was so closely associated with blondness that , in the poems of Chrétien de Troyes , she is called `` Iseult le Blonde '' . In Geoffrey Chaucer 's Canterbury Tales ( written from 1387 until 1400 ) , the knight describes the beautiful princess Emily in his tale , stating , `` yclothed was she fressh , for to devyse : / Hir yellow heer was broided in a tresse / Behinde hir bak , a yerde long , I gesse '' ( lines 1048 - 1050 ) . Because of blond hair 's relative commonness in northern Europe , especially among children , folk tales from these regions tend to feature large numbers of blond protagonists .", "18": "Although these stories may not have been seen by their original tellers as idealizing blond hair , when they are read in cultures outside of northern Europe where blond hair `` has rarity value '' , they may seem to connote that blond hair is a sign of special purity .

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries , blond hair , white skin , blue eyes , a tall stature , a long head , and an angled nose were deemed by scientific racists as hallmarks of the so - called `` master race '' . In the nineteenth century , this race was usually referred to as the `` Germanic race '' , but after the turn of the twentieth century , it came to be more commonly known as the `` Nordic race '' . German and Scandinavian scientists and academics throughout the early part of the twentieth century studied racial typology to the point of obsession and debated the features of the Nordic race extensively . In the 1920s , the eugenicist Eugen Fischer invented the Fischer hair color table ( Fischer Haarfarbentafel ) to scientifically document hair color , which consisted of twenty - six bundles of cellulose fiber coated in non-fading colors attached to a palette and labeled with numbers .", "19": "Lighter colors were given higher numbers and darker ones were given lower numbers , with the distinction between `` blond '' and `` brown '' being set between seven and eight . Fischer was a passionate supporter of Nazi eugenics and warned that the interbreeding of different races would result in the deterioration of modern civilization . Dispute over the exact distinction between blond and brown hair was a heated debate among Norwegian anthropologists during this period , with Halfdan Bryn arguing that the distinction should instead be set between six and seven . By the end of the 1920s , the International Federation of Eugenics Organizations ( IFEO ) , the leading international eugenics organization , became increasingly dominated by proponents of the racial hygiene movement , who sought to turn the organization into `` Blond International '' , which would be `` aimed at the purification and propagation of the Nordic race . '' After the Nazi Party came to power in Germany in 1933 , racial anthropology based on the ideas of genetic superiority and racial psychology `` became increasingly hegemonic in Germany . '' The Nazis revered blond hair as a quality of the herrenrasse ( `` master race '' ) . The idea of racial superiority , which once dominated the field of anthropology , has now been completely and unanimously rejected by modern scientists . Modern scientists have also rejected the assertions and beliefs of pre-World War II racialists . Classification of race based on physical characteristics such as hair color is seen as a `` flawed , pseudo-scientific relic of the past . '' Many modern scientists dispute whether the concept of `` race '' is even a useful classification for human beings at all . Modern cultural associations Sexuality Portrait of a Woman by Bartolomeo Veneto , traditionally assumed to be Lucrezia Borgia In contemporary popular culture , blonde women are stereotyped as being more sexually attractive to men than women with other hair colors . For example , Anita Loos popularized this idea in her 1925 novel Gentlemen Prefer Blondes . Some women have reported they feel other people expect them to be more fun - loving after having lightened their hair . The American novelist and screenwriter Raymond Chandler offers an appraisal of the blonde as social criticism in his novel The Long Goodbye ( 1953 ) : There are blondes and blondes and it is almost a joke word nowadays .", "20": "All blondes have their points , except perhaps the metallic ones who are as blond as a Zulu under the bleach and as to disposition as soft as a sidewalk . There is the small cute blonde who cheeps and twitters , and the big statuesque blonde who straight - arms you with an ice - blue glare . There is the blonde who gives you the up - from - under look and smells lovely and shimmers and hangs on your arm and is always very tired when you take her home . She makes that helpless gesture and has that goddamned headache and you would like to slug her except that you are glad you found out about the headache before you invested too much time and money and hope in her . Because the headache will always be there , a weapon that never wears out and is as deadly as the bravo 's rapier or Lucrezia 's poison vial . There is the soft and willing and alcoholic blonde who does n't care what she wears as long as it is mink or where she goes as long as it is the Starlight Roof and there is plenty of dry champagne . There is the small perky blonde who is a little pal and wants to pay her own way and is full of sunshine and common sense and knows judo from the ground up and can toss a truck driver over her shoulder without missing more than one sentence out of the editorial in the Saturday Review . There is the pale , pale blonde with anemia of some non-fatal but incurable type . She is very languid and very shadowy and she speaks softly out of nowhere and you ca n't lay a finger on her because in the first place you do n't want to and in the second place she is reading The Waste Land or Dante in the original , or Kafka or Kierkegaard or studying Provençal . She adores music and when the New York Philharmonic is playing Hindemith she can tell you which one of the six bass viols came in a quarter of a beat too late . I hear Toscanini can also . That makes two of them .", "21": "And lastly there is the gorgeous show piece who will outlast three kingpin racketeers and then marry a couple of millionaires at a million a head and end up with a pale rose villa at Cap Antibes , an Alfa - Romeo town car complete with pilot and co-pilot , and a stable of shopworn aristocrats , all of whom she will treat with the affectionate absent - mindedness of an elderly duke saying goodnight to his butler . The Saturday Evening Post ( 1910 ) . Fitzgerald was a frequent contributor in the 1920s . American novelist and short story writer F. Scott Fitzgerald , and chronicler of the Jazz Age , describes a blonde salesclerk working in Minneapolis , Minnesota in his short story `` At Your Age '' ( 1929 ) : Then looking up , he saw the blonde girl . She was a rare blonde , even in the Promised Land of Scandinavians , where pretty blondes were not rare . There was a warm color in her cheeks , lips and pink little hands that folded the powders into papers ; her hair , in long braids twisted about her head , was shining and alive . She seemed to Tom suddenly the cleanest person he knew of , and he caught his breath as he stepped forward and looked into her gray eyes . `` A can of talcum . '' `` What kind ? '' `` Any kind ... that 's fine . '' She looked back at him apparently without self - consciousness , ( and ) his heart raced with it wildly . '' Madonna popularized the short bleached blond haircut after the release of her third studio album True Blue and influenced both the 1980s fashion scene as well as many future female musicians like Christina Aguilera , Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus . Lack of intelligence In Gentlemen Prefer Blondes ( 1953 ) , one of the films in which Monroe portrayed a sexually attractive and naïve `` dumb blonde '' Originating in Europe , the `` blonde stereotype '' is also associated with being less serious or less intelligent . Blonde jokes are a class of jokes based on the stereotype of blonde women as unintelligent . In Brazil , this extends to blonde women being looked down , as reflected in sexist jokes , as also sexually licentious .", "22": "It is believed the originator of the `` dumb blonde '' was an eighteenth - century blonde French prostitute named Rosalie Duthé whose reputation of being beautiful but dumb inspired a play about her called Les Curiosites de la Foire ( Paris 1775 ) . Blonde actresses have contributed to this perception ; some of them include Marilyn Monroe , Judy Holliday , Jayne Mansfield , and Goldie Hawn during her time at Laugh - In . The British filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock preferred to cast blonde women for major roles in his films as he believed that the audience would suspect them the least , comparing them to `` virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints '' , hence the term `` Hitchcock blonde '' . This stereotype has become so ingrained it has spawned counter-narratives , such as in the 2001 film Legally Blonde in which Elle Woods , played by Reese Witherspoon , succeeds at Harvard despite biases against her beauty and blonde hair . In the 1950s , the American actress Marilyn Monroe 's screen persona centered on her blonde hair and the stereotypes associated with it , especially dumbness , naïveté , sexual availability and artificiality . She often used a breathy , childish voice in her films , and in interviews gave the impression that everything she said was `` utterly innocent and uncalculated '' , parodying herself with double entendres that came to be known as `` Monroeisms '' . For example , when she was asked what she had on in the 1949 nude photo shoot , she replied , `` I had the radio on '' . Monroe often wore white to emphasize her blondness , and drew attention by wearing revealing outfits that showed off her figure . Although Monroe 's typecast screen persona as a dim - witted but sexually attractive blonde was a carefully crafted act , audiences and film critics believed it to be her real personality and did not realize that she was only acting .

France as a whole finds but 4 per cent of black and near - black hair color , 23 per cent of dark brown , 43 per cent of medium brown , 14 per cent of light brown , 12 per cent of various degrees of blond , and some 4 per cent of reddish - brown and red .", "27": "( ... ) The regional distribution of hair color in France follows closely that of stature . Although the position of the French in regard to hair pigmentation is intermediate between blond and black , the diagonal line from Mont St. Michel to Orleans , Lyons , and the Italian border divides the country into a northeastern quadrant , in which the hair is somewhat lighter than medium , and a southwestern , in which it is somewhat darker . High ratios of black and very dark brown hair are found not in the typically Alpine country , but along the slope of the Pyrenees , in Catalan - speaking country , and on the Mediterranean seacoast . Blond hair is commonest along the Channel , in regions settled by Saxons and Normans , in Burgundy and the country bordering Switzerland , and down the course of the Rhône . In northern France it seems to follow upstream the rivers which empty into the Channel . The hair color of the departments occupied by Flemish speakers , and of others directly across the Channel from England in Normandy , seems to be nearly as light as that in the southern English counties ; the coastal cantons of Brittany are lighter than the inland ones , and approximate a Cornish condition . In the same way , the northeastern French departments are probably as light - haired as some of the provinces of southern Germany . access - date = requires url = ( help ) Jump up ^ La Depeche , `` 5 millions de blondes en France , dont 50 % de fausses '' Jump up ^ Tamagnini Eusebio : `` A Pigmentacao dos Portugueses '' .

Unable to gain access to the instrument , Martin instead used an old keyboard that his late father - in - law , Bruce Paltrow , gave to his daughter Gwyneth . However , in other instances Martin has claimed that `` Fix You '' is influenced by English alternative rock band Elbow 's 2003 anthem `` Grace Under Pressure '' . When asked about the development of the song , Martin said : `` My father - in - law Bruce Paltrow bought this big keyboard just before he died . No one had ever plugged it in . I plugged it in , and there was this incredible sound I 'd never heard before .", "2": "All these songs poured out from this one sound . Something has to inspire you , and something else takes over . It 's very cloudy . '' Martin also noted that the song is `` probably the most important song we 've ever written '' . During a track - by - track analysis bassist Guy Berryman admitted that the song takes `` a bit of inspiration '' from Jimmy Cliff 's 1969 song `` Many Rivers to Cross '' . Berryman also added , `` It becomes its own thing , kind of like points of inspiration that kind of lead you down certain paths . Whenever you want to write a song like someone else , it ultimately ends up sounding like something different anyway . '' Composition ( edit ) `` Fix You '' excerpt The music of `` Fix You '' is built around a church - style organ . Problems playing this file ? See media help . The song , which is written in the key of E-flat major , features an organ and piano sound . The song starts with a hushed electric organ ballad , including Martin 's falsetto . The song then builds with acoustic guitar and piano , along with a string section during the beginning choruses . The sound then shifts with a plaintive three - note guitar line , ringing through a rhythmic upbeat drum tempo . The song then transitions to its bridge , which roars into an instrumentation of piano notes , electric & bass guitar riffs , drums , and a singalong chorus with an anthemic feel . A synthesizer then joins the instrumentation , during the second half of the bridge . The song finally ends with the beginning chorus , with slow , melancholic piano notes being played in the background . The message throughout the song , in which Martin sings , is words of encouragement : `` Lights will guide you home / And ignite your bones / And I will try to fix you . '' Michele Hatty of USA Weekend reported that Martin sings about recovering from grief in the song . Travis Gass of the Bangor Daily News wrote that Martin offers his sympathies for the downtrodden , with `` When you love someone but it goes to waste / Could it be worse ? '' .

When she is arrested after a bike accident involving a police car , Richard 's business partner Ana Miller posts her bail and warns her that if she does not claim her inheritance , her father 's estate will be sold off . Lara reluctantly accepts and gains access to her father 's office . There she finds a pre-recorded message from Richard detailing his research into Himiko , the mythical Queen of Yamatai who was said to command the power over life and death . Richard warns Lara to destroy all of his research but Lara decides not to so she can investigate further . Lara travels to Hong Kong where she hires Lu Ren , captain of the ship Endurance , to sail into the Devil 's Sea to the island of Yamatai . The ship capsizes in a violent storm and Lara is washed ashore where she is knocked unconscious . She is revived by Mathias Vogel , the leader of an expedition to locate Himiko 's tomb .", "2": "The expedition has been funded by a shadowy organisation called Trinity that seeks to harness and weaponise Himiko 's power . Vogel takes Lara prisoner , claiming that he killed her father and intends to use Richard 's research to continue his expedition . Lara escapes with the help of Lu Ren , who also survived the storm and has been put to work with the local fishermen digging for Himiko 's tomb . She evades capture but is seriously wounded in the process and passes out from her injuries . Lara regains consciousness after nightfall and is forced to kill a Trinity guard when she is nearly discovered . She follows a mysterious figure wandering the island and discovers that the figure is her father , who himself had been held captive on Yamatai . After Lara convinces him that she is real , Richard treats her injuries . Despite his protests , Lara sets off to recover his research from Vogel 's camp . Lara makes contact with Lu Ren , and he , along with the fishermen , stage distractions that allow Lara to infiltrate the Trinity camp and recover her father 's research . In the ensuing chaos , Richard makes his way to the Himiko 's tomb and is captured by Vogel , who persuades Lara to open the tomb . The party navigates a series of booby traps and locates Himiko 's sarcophagus . Two Trinity soldiers attempt to remove her corpse but become infected by Himiko 's `` power , '' which is actually a disease so potent that mere physical contact triggers immediate bodily disintegration . Vogel shoots the infected soldier , concluding that he can not remove Himiko 's body . He instead settles for detaching a finger , which he seals in a pouch . In the confusion , Lara and Richard overpower the remaining soldiers , though Vogel escapes and Richard becomes infected . Knowing there is no cure , Richard proposes destroying Himiko 's tomb to prevent the virus from spreading across the world . Lara gives chase to Vogel as Richard sets off a bomb , killing himself and sealing the tomb . Lara confronts Vogel and the two fight . Lara overpowers him and force - feeds him Himiko 's severed finger before kicking him down a deep chasm just as the infection takes over . She is rescued by Lu Ren and the fishermen , who then commandeer a Trinity helicopter to escape Yamatai .", "3": "Lara returns to London , where she formally accepts her inheritance and inadvertently discovers that Trinity 's front company , Patna , is actually a subsidiary of Croft Holdings . She proceeds to investigate Trinity further among her father 's files and begins to suspect that Ana Miller is one of its agents who manipulated her into accepting her inheritance in order to have Lara sign over control of Croft Holdings ' business operations to her when Richard Croft stopped cooperating with Trinity . Having witnessed Trinity 's ruthlessness firsthand , she prepares for her next adventure to thwart their future plans - buying two Heckler & Koch USP Match pistols with stainless slides .

Deadline Hollywood had previously reported that Daisy Ridley was considered for the role , though she later stated in an interview that it was just a `` crazy rumor .

In the United States and Canada , Tomb Raider was released alongside Love , Simon and I Can Only Imagine , and was projected to gross $23 -- 29 million from 3,854 theaters in its opening weekend .", "5": "The film made $9.1 million on its first day ( including $2.1 million from Thursday night previews ) .

Critical response ( edit ) On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , the film holds an approval rating of 49 % , based on 237 reviews , and an average rating of 5.4 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` Tomb Raider reboots the franchise with a more grounded approach and a star who 's clearly more than up to the task -- neither of which are well served by an uninspired origin story . '' At the time of its release , it was the best - reviewed live action video game film in the history of the site , before being surpassed by Rampage a month later . On Metacritic , the film has a weighted average score of 48 out of 100 , based on 53 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews . '' Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` B '' on an A+ to F scale , the same score earned by the 2001 film ; PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it a 70 % positive score .", "6": "Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune gave the film 2 out of 4 stars and said , `` The Lara Croft reboot Tomb Raider is n't half bad for an hour . Then there 's another hour . That hour is quite bad . It 's no fun watching your action heroine get shoved , punched and kicked to the sidelines of her own movie , while the menfolk take over and take turns overacting before expiring . '' Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a mixed review , criticizing the story but praising Vikander , and writing , `` When all the one - dimensional supporting characters and familiar action moves fall by the wayside , the one thing left standing is Vikander ... The film strains credulity even for a vid - game fantasy by letting the leading lady recover awfully quickly from bad injuries , but other than that Vikander commands attention and is the element here that makes Tomb Raider sort of watchable . '' Matt Bobkin of Exclaim ! gave the film a 5 out of 10 score , writing `` Tomb Raider is at its best when delivering mindless action , but do n't bother trying to glean any sort of deeper , subversive meaning . '' Owen Gleiberman of Variety praised the film , saying that `` The exciting surprise of the new Tomb Raider , directed by the Norwegian genre specialist Roar Uthaug , is that it does n't tamp down Vikander 's inner flame , or the three - dimensionality of her talent ; it does n't fold and insert her into an overly gymnastic and CGI - happy thrill ride . The movie is full of vine - swinging , bow - and - arrow - shooting , ancient - spirit - meeting action , but most of it is staged on a convincing human scale , one that 's been expertly tailored to its star 's understated directness . '' Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com gave the film 3 out of 4 stars , and said , `` this is a beautifully crafted and unpretentious piece of action cinema , with a number of sequences that are as gorgeous as they are thrilling , and a female hero who 's as elegant as she is deadly : an ass - kicking Audrey Hepburn . ''", "7": "Future ( edit ) Producer Adrian Askarieh told IGN in an interview that he may oversee a film universe with Just Cause , Hitman , Tomb Raider , Deus Ex , and Thief .

{ "0": "Ten green bottles - Wikipedia Ten green bottles Jump to : navigation , search For the Vivian Jeanette Kaplan novel , see Ten Green Bottles ( book ) . Green bottles on a wall . `` Ten Green Bottles '' is a song that is popular in the United Kingdom . In essence , the song is a single verse repeated , each time with one bottle fewer : Ten green bottles hanging on the wall Ten green bottles hanging on the wall And if one green bottle should accidentally fall , There 'll be nine green bottles hanging on the wall . This pattern continues until the number of bottles reaches zero : One green bottle hanging on the wall , One green bottle hanging on the wall , And if that green bottle should accidentally fall , There 'll be no more bottles hanging on the wall . The word `` standing '' or `` sitting '' is sometimes substituted for `` hanging '' . Various other versions of the lyrics exist , many of them vulgar or satirical .

Lamarck , 1801 Simplified grouping ( see text ) Fishes ( cladistically including the Tetrapods ) Synonyms Ossea Batsch , 1788 Vertebrates / ˈvɜːrtɪbrɪts / comprise all species of animals within the subphylum Vertebrata / - eɪ / ( chordates with backbones ) . Vertebrates represent the overwhelming majority of the phylum Chordata , with currently about 66,000 species described . Vertebrates include the jawless fish and the jawed vertebrates , which include the cartilaginous fish ( sharks , rays , and ratfish ) and the bony fish . A bony fish clade known as the lobe - finned fishes is included with tetrapods , which are further divided into amphibians , reptiles , mammals , and birds . Extant vertebrates range in size from the frog species Paedophryne amauensis , at as little as 7.7 mm ( 0.30 in ) , to the blue whale , at up to 33 m ( 108 ft ) . Vertebrates make up less than five percent of all described animal species ; the rest are invertebrates , which lack vertebral columns . The vertebrates traditionally include the hagfish , which do not have proper vertebrae due to their loss in evolution , though their closest living relatives , the lampreys , do . Hagfish do , however , possess a cranium .", "1": "For this reason , the vertebrate subphylum is sometimes referred to as `` Craniata '' when discussing morphology . Molecular analysis since 1992 has suggested that hagfish are most closely related to lampreys , and so also are vertebrates in a monophyletic sense . Others consider them a sister group of vertebrates in the common taxon of craniata .

The Proto - Indo - European language origins are still unclear . Vertebrate is derived from the word vertebra , which refers to any of the bones or segments of the spinal column . Anatomy and morphology ( edit ) See also : Vertebrate anatomy All vertebrates are built along the basic chordate body plan : a stiff rod running through the length of the animal ( vertebral column and / or notochord ) , with a hollow tube of nervous tissue ( the spinal cord ) above it and the gastrointestinal tract below . In all vertebrates , the mouth is found at , or right below , the anterior end of the animal , while the anus opens to the exterior before the end of the body . The remaining part of the body continuing after the anus forms a tail with vertebrae and spinal cord , but no gut .", "2": "Vertebral column ( edit ) The defining characteristic of a vertebrate is the vertebral column , in which the notochord ( a stiff rod of uniform composition ) found in all chordates has been replaced by a segmented series of stiffer elements ( vertebrae ) separated by mobile joints ( intervertebral discs , derived embryonically and evolutionarily from the notochord ) . However , a few vertebrates have secondarily lost this anatomy , retaining the notochord into adulthood , such as the sturgeon and coelacanth . Jawed vertebrates are typified by paired appendages ( fins or legs , which may be secondarily lost ) , but this trait is not required in order for an animal to be a vertebrate . Fossilized skeleton of Diplodocus carnegii , showing an extreme example of the backbone that characterizes the vertebrates . Gills ( edit ) Gill arches bearing gills in a pike All basal vertebrates breathe with gills . The gills are carried right behind the head , bordering the posterior margins of a series of openings from the pharynx to the exterior . Each gill is supported by a cartilagenous or bony gill arch . The bony fish have three pairs of arches , cartilaginous fish have five to seven pairs , while the primitive jawless fish have seven . The vertebrate ancestor no doubt had more arches than this , as some of their chordate relatives have more than 50 pairs of gills . In amphibians and some primitive bony fishes , the larvae bear external gills , branching off from the gill arches . These are reduced in adulthood , their function taken over by the gills proper in fishes and by lungs in most amphibians . Some amphibians retain the external larval gills in adulthood , the complex internal gill system as seen in fish apparently being irrevocably lost very early in the evolution of tetrapods . While the more derived vertebrates lack gills , the gill arches form during fetal development , and form the basis of essential structures such as jaws , the thyroid gland , the larynx , the columella ( corresponding to the stapes in mammals ) and , in mammals , the malleus and incus .", "3": "Central nervous system ( edit ) The central nervous system of vertebrates is based on a hollow nerve cord running along the length of the animal . Of particular importance and unique to vertebrates is the presence of neural crest cells . These are progenitors of stem cells , and critical to coordinating the functions of cellular components . Neural crest cells migrate through the body from the nerve cord during development , and initiate the formation of neural ganglia and structures such as the jaws and skull . The vertebrates are the only chordate group to exhibit cephalisation , the concentration of brain functions in the head . A slight swelling of the anterior end of the nerve cord is found in the lancelet , a chordate , though it lacks the eyes and other complex sense organs comparable to those of vertebrates . Other chordates do not show any trends towards cephalisation . A peripheral nervous system branches out from the nerve cord to innervate the various systems . The front end of the nerve tube is expanded by a thickening of the walls and expansion of the central canal of spinal cord into three primary brain vesicles : The prosencephalon ( forebrain ) , mesencephalon ( midbrain ) and rhombencephalon ( hindbrain ) , further differentiated in the various vertebrate groups . Two laterally placed eyes form around outgrowths from the midbrain , except in hagfish , though this may be a secondary loss . The forebrain is well developed and subdivided in most tetrapods , while the midbrain dominates in many fish and some salamanders . Vesicles of the forebrain are usually paired , giving rise to hemispheres like the cerebral hemispheres in mammals . The resulting anatomy of the central nervous system , with a single hollow nerve cord topped by a series of ( often paired ) vesicles , is unique to vertebrates . All invertebrates with well - developed brains , such as insects , spiders and squids , have a ventral rather than dorsal system of ganglions , with a split brain stem running on each side of the mouth or gut .", "4": "Evolutionary history ( edit ) See also : Evolution of fish and Evolution of tetrapods First vertebrates ( edit ) The early vertebrate Haikouichthys Vertebrates originated about 525 million years ago during the Cambrian explosion , which saw the rise in organism diversity . The earliest known vertebrate is believed to be the Myllokunmingia . Another early vertebrate is Haikouichthys ercaicunensis . Unlike the other fauna that dominated the Cambrian , these groups had the basic vertebrate body plan : a notochord , rudimentary vertebrae , and a well - defined head and tail . All of these early vertebrates lacked jaws in the common sense and relied on filter feeding close to the seabed . A vertebrate group of uncertain phylogeny , small - eel - like conodonts , are known from microfossils of their paired tooth segments from the late Cambrian to the end of the Triassic . From fish to amphibians ( edit ) Acanthostega , a fish - like early labyrinthodont . The first jawed vertebrates appeared in the latest Ordovician and became common in the Devonian , often known as the `` Age of Fishes '' . The two groups of bony fishes , the actinopterygii and sarcopterygii , evolved and became common . The Devonian also saw the demise of virtually all jawless fishes , save for lampreys and hagfish , as well as the Placodermi , a group of armoured fish that dominated the entirety of that period since the late Silurian . The Devonian also saw the rise of the first labyrinthodonts , which was a transitional form between fishes and amphibians . Mesozoic vertebrates ( edit ) Amniotes branched from labyrinthodonts in the subsequent Carboniferous period . The Parareptilia and synapsid amniotes were common during the late Paleozoic , while diapsids became dominant during the Mesozoic . In the sea , the bony fishes became dominant ; the birds , a derived form of dinosaurs , evolved in the Jurassic .", "5": "The demise of the non-avian dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous allowed for the expansion of mammals , which had evolved from the therapsids , a group of synapsid amniotes , during the late Triassic Period . After the Mesozoic ( edit ) The Cenozoic world has seen great diversification of bony fishes , frogs , birds and mammals . Over half of all living vertebrate species ( about 32,000 species ) are fish ( non-tetrapod craniates ) , a diverse set of lineages that inhabit all the world 's aquatic ecosystems , from snow minnows ( Cypriniformes ) in Himalayan lakes at elevations over 4,600 metres ( 15,100 feet ) to flatfishes ( order Pleuronectiformes ) in the Challenger Deep , the deepest ocean trench at about 11,000 metres ( 36,000 feet ) . Fishes of myriad varieties are the main predators in most of the world 's water bodies , both freshwater and marine . The rest of the vertebrate species are tetrapods , a single lineage that includes amphibians ( with roughly 7,000 species ) ; mammals ( with approximately 5,500 species ) ; and reptiles and birds ( with about 20,000 species divided evenly between the two classes ) . Tetrapods comprise the dominant megafauna of most terrestrial environments and also include many partially or fully aquatic groups ( e.g. , sea snakes , penguins , cetaceans ) . Classification ( edit ) There are several ways of classifying animals . Evolutionary systematics relies on anatomy , physiology and evolutionary history , which is determined through similarities in anatomy and , if possible , the genetics of organisms . Phylogenetic classification is based solely on phylogeny . Evolutionary systematics gives an overview ; phylogenetic systematics gives detail . The two systems are thus complementary rather than opposed . Traditional classification ( edit ) Traditional spindle diagram of the evolution of the vertebrates at class level Conventional classification has living vertebrates grouped into seven classes based on traditional interpretations of gross anatomical and physiological traits . This classification is the one most commonly encountered in school textbooks , overviews , non-specialist , and popular works .", "6": "The extant vertebrates are : Subphylum Vertebrata Class Agnatha ( jawless fishes ) Class Chondrichthyes ( cartilaginous fishes ) Class Osteichthyes ( bony fishes ) Class Amphibia ( amphibians ) Class Reptilia ( reptiles ) Class Aves ( birds ) Class Mammalia ( mammals ) In addition to these , there are two classes of extinct armoured fishes , the Placodermi and the Acanthodii . Other ways of classifying the vertebrates have been devised , particularly with emphasis on the phylogeny of early amphibians and reptiles . An example based on Janvier ( 1981 , 1997 ) , Shu et al. ( 2003 ) , and Benton ( 2004 ) is given here : Subphylum Vertebrata Palaeospondylus Superclass Agnatha or Cephalaspidomorphi ( lampreys and other jawless fishes ) Infraphylum Gnathostomata ( vertebrates with jaws ) Class † Placodermi ( extinct armoured fishes ) Class Chondrichthyes ( cartilaginous fishes ) Class † Acanthodii ( extinct spiny `` sharks '' ) Superclass Osteichthyes ( bony vertebrates ) Class Actinopterygii ( ray - finned bony fishes ) Class Sarcopterygii ( lobe - finned fishes , including the tetrapods ) Class Amphibia ( amphibians , some ancestral to the amniotes ) - now a paraphyletic group Class Synapsida ( mammals and the extinct mammal - like reptiles ) Class Sauropsida ( reptiles and birds ) While this traditional classification is orderly , most of the groups are paraphyletic , i.e. do not contain all descendants of the class 's common ancestor . For instance , descendants of the first reptiles include modern reptiles , as well as mammals and birds . Most of the classes listed are not `` complete '' ( and are therefore paraphyletic ) taxa , meaning they do not include all the descendants of the first representative of the group .", "7": "For example , the agnathans have given rise to the jawed vertebrates ; the bony fishes have given rise to the land vertebrates ; the traditional `` amphibians '' have given rise to the reptiles ( traditionally including the synapsids , or mammal - like `` reptiles '' ) , which in turn have given rise to the mammals and birds . Most scientists working with vertebrates use a classification based purely on phylogeny , organized by their known evolutionary history and sometimes disregarding the conventional interpretations of their anatomy and physiology . Phylogenetic relationships ( edit ) In phylogenetic taxonomy , the relationships between animals are not typically divided into ranks , but illustrated as a nested `` family tree '' known as a cladogram . Phylogenetic groups are given definitions based on their relationship to one another , rather than purely on physical traits , such as the presence of a backbone . This nesting pattern is often combined with traditional taxonomy ( as above ) , in a practice known as evolutionary taxonomy . The cladogram presented below is based on studies compiled by Philippe Janvier and others for the Tree of Life Web Project . Vertebrata Hyperoartia ( lampreys ) ? † Euconodonta unnamed † Pteraspidomorphi ? † Thelodonti unnamed ? † Anaspida unnamed † Galeaspida unnamed ? † Pituriaspida † Osteostraci Gnathostomata † Placodermi ( armoured fishes ) unnamed Acanthodians , incl . Chondrichthyes ( cartilaginous fishes ) Euteleostomi Actinopterygii ( ray - finned fishes ) Sarcopterygii ( lobe - finned fish ) ? † Onychodontiformes Actinistia ( coelacanths ) unnamed † Porolepiformes Dipnoi ( lungfishes ) unnamed † Rhizodontimorpha † Tristichopteridae Tetrapoda Number of extant species ( edit ) The number of described vertebrate species are split evenly between tetrapods and fish .", "8": "The following table lists the number of described extant species for each vertebrate class as estimated in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species , 2014.3 . Vertebrate groups Image Class Estimated number of described species Group totals Anamniote lack amniotic membrane so need to reproduce in water Jawless Fish Myxini ( hagfish ) 32,900 Hyperoartia ( lamprey ) Jawed cartilaginous fish ray - finned fish lobe - finned fish Tetrapods amphibians 7,302 33,278 Amniote have amniotic membrane adapted to reproducing on land reptiles 10,711 birds 10,425 mammals 5,513 Total described species 66,178 The IUCN estimates that 1,305,075 extant invertebrate species have been described , which means that less than 5 % of the described animal species in the world are vertebrates . Vertebrate species databases ( edit ) The following databases maintain ( more or less ) up - to - date lists of vertebrate species : Fish : Fishbase Amphibians : Amphibiaweb Reptiles : Reptile Database Birds : Avibase Mammals : Mammal species of the World Reproductive systems ( edit ) Nearly all vertebrates undergo sexual reproduction . They produce haploid gametes by meiosis . The smaller , motile gametes are spermatozoa and the larger , non-motile gametes are ova . These fuse by the process of fertilisation to form diploid zygotes , which develop into new individuals . Inbreeding ( edit ) During sexual reproduction , mating with a close relative ( inbreeding ) often leads to inbreeding depression . Inbreeding depression is considered to be largely due to expression of deleterious recessive mutations . The effects of inbreeding have been studied in many vertebrate species . In several species of fish , inbreeding was found to decrease reproductive success . Inbreeding was observed to increase juvenile mortality in 11 small animal species . A common breeding practice for pet dogs is mating between close relatives ( e.g.", "9": "between half - and full siblings ) . This practice generally has a negative effect on measures of reproductive success , including decreased litter size and puppy survival . Incestuous matings in birds result in severe fitness costs due to inbreeding depression ( e.g. reduction in hatchability of eggs and reduced progeny survival ) . Inbreeding avoidance ( edit ) As a result of the negative fitness consequences of inbreeding , vertebrate species have evolved mechanisms to avoid inbreeding . Numerous inbreeding avoidance mechanisms operating prior to mating have been described . Toads and many other amphibians display breeding site fidelity . Individuals that return to natal ponds to breed will likely encounter siblings as potential mates . Although incest is possible , Bufo americanus siblings rarely mate . These toads likely recognize and actively avoid close kins as mates . Advertisement vocalizations by males appear to serve as cues by which females recognize their kin . Inbreeding avoidance mechanisms can also operate subsequent to copulation . In guppies , a post-copulatory mechanism of inbreeding avoidance occurs based on competition between sperm of rival males for achieving fertilization . In competitions between sperm from an unrelated male and from a full sibling male , a significant bias in paternity towards the unrelated male was observed . When female sand lizards mate with two or more males , sperm competition within the female 's reproductive tract may occur . Active selection of sperm by females appears to occur in a manner that enhances female fitness . On the basis of this selective process , the sperm of males that are more distantly related to the female are preferentially used for fertilization , rather than the sperm of close relatives . This preference may enhance the fitness of progeny by reducing inbreeding depression . Outcrossing ( edit ) Mating with unrelated or distantly related members of the same species is generally thought to provide the advantage of masking deleterious recessive mutations in progeny ( and see Heterosis ) . Vertebrates have evolved numerous diverse mechanisms for avoiding close inbreeding and promoting outcrossing ( and see Inbreeding avoidance ) . Outcrossing as a way of avoiding inbreeding depression , has been especially well studied in birds . For instance , inbreeding depression occurs in the great tit when the offspring are produced as a result of a mating between close relatives .", "10": "In natural populations of the great tit ( Parus major ) , inbreeding is avoided by dispersal of individuals from their birthplace , which reduces the chance of mating with a close relative . The purple - crowned fairywren females paired with related males may undertake extra-pair matings that can reduce the negative effects of inbreeding . However , there are ecological and demographic constraints on extra pair matings . Nevertheless , 46 % of broods produced by incestuously paired females contained extra-pair young . Southern pied babblers ( Turdoides bicolor ) appear to avoid inbreeding in two ways . The first is through dispersal , and the second is by avoiding familiar group members as mates . Although both males and females disperse locally , they move outside the range where genetically related individuals are likely to be encountered . Within their group , individuals only acquire breeding positions when the opposite - sex breeder is unrelated . Cooperative breeding in birds typically occurs when offspring , usually males , delay dispersal from their natal group in order to remain with the family to help rear younger kin . Female offspring rarely stay at home , dispersing over distances that allow them to breed independently , or to join unrelated groups . Parthenogenesis ( edit ) Parthenogenesis is a natural form of reproduction in which growth and development of embryos occur without fertilization . Reproduction in squamate reptiles is ordinarily sexual , with males having a ZZ pair of sex determining chromosomes , and females a ZW pair . However , various species , including the Colombian Rainbow boa ( Epicrates maurus ) , Agkistrodon contortrix ( copperhead snake ) and Agkistrodon piscivorus ( cotton mouth snake ) can also reproduce by facultative parthenogenesis - that is , they are capable of switching from a sexual mode of reproduction to an asexual mode - resulting in production of WW female progeny . The WW females are likely produced by terminal automixis . Mole salamanders are an ancient ( 2.4 - 3.8 million year - old ) unisexual vertebrate lineage . In the polyploid unisexual mole salamander females , a premeiotic endomitotic event doubles the number of chromosomes .", "11": "As a result , the mature eggs produced subsequent to the two meiotic divisions have the same ploidy as the somatic cells of the female salamander . Synapsis and recombination during meiotic prophase I in these unisexual females is thought to ordinarily occur between identical sister chromosomes and occasionally between homologous chromosomes . Thus little , if any , genetic variation is produced . Recombination between homeologous chromosomes occurs only rarely , if at all . Since production of genetic variation is weak , at best , it is unlikely to provide a benefit sufficient to account for the long - term maintenance of meiosis in these organisms . However , meiosis may have been maintained during evolution by the efficient recombinational repair of DNA damages that meiosis provides , an advantage that could be realized at each generation . Self - fertilization ( edit ) The mangrove killifish ( Kryptolebias marmoratus ) produces both eggs and sperm by meiosis and routinely reproduces by self - fertilisation . The capacity for selfing in these fishes has apparently persisted for at least several hundred thousand years . Each individual hermaphrodite normally fertilizes itself when an egg and sperm that it has produced by an internal organ unite inside the fish 's body . In nature , this mode of reproduction can yield highly homozygous lines composed of individuals so genetically uniform as to be , in effect , identical to one another . Although inbreeding , especially in the extreme form of self - fertilization , is ordinarily regarded as detrimental because it leads to expression of deleterious recessive alleles , self - fertilization does provide the benefit of fertilization assurance ( reproductive assurance ) at each generation .

The 1974 television film called Wonder Woman directed by Vincent McEveety and starring Cathy Lee Crosby , was a pilot for an intended television series being considered by ABC . Ratings were described as `` respectable but not exactly wondrous , '' and ABC did not pick up the pilot . Instead , Warner Bros. and ABC developed the 1975 television series , Wonder Woman , that fit the more traditional presentation of the character as created by William Moulton Marston , turning away from the 1968 -- 72 era that had influenced the pilot . Wonder Woman , which premiered in 1975 , starred Lynda Carter and eventually led to the full series . Crosby would later claim that she was offered the chance to reprise the role in that series . Cast and characters ( edit ) Lynda Carter as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman This version of the character is exclusive to the continuity of the TV series Wonder Woman and is an adaptation of Diana Prince / Wonder Woman . The original character was created by William Moulton Marston and Harry G. Peter and first appeared in All - Star Comics # 8 . Beatrice Colen as Etta Candy ( season 1 ) General Phil Blankenship 's secretary . She is there to provide comic relief . Richard Eastham as General Philip Blankenship ( season 1 ) He works for the War Department during the early years of World War II . In 1942 , he worked with his subordinate Colonel Steve Trevor in an ongoing effort to prevent Nazi cells from infiltrating the United States and threatening the nation 's security .", "2": "Blankenship also kept in close contact with Steve 's colleagues Diana Prince and Etta Candy . Blankenship never knew that Yeoman Prince was also Wonder Woman . Lyle Waggoner as Steve Trevor The original character was created by William Moulton Marston and Harry G. Peter and first appeared in All - Star Comics # 8 . The details surrounding the death of Steve Trevor remains largely unknown . What is known is that Steve died some time prior to 1977 . Debra Winger as Drusilla / Wonder Girl Born as the second daughter of Hippolyta , Queen of the Amazons , Drusilla grew up on Paradise Island along with her older sister , Princess Diana . After her sister left the island , she quickly became the finest archer and rider of the Amazons . When Hippolyta felt it was time for her elder daughter to return to the island , Drusilla was sent to America to urge her return . Reluctant to leave , Diana decided to show her younger sister of the need for Wonder Woman in the outside world . As part of this she convinced Drusilla to pose as Diana Prince 's teenage sister for a few days . During this time she accompanied General Blankenship on a car trip . They were attacked by Nazi spies who abducted the general and left her behind . Unable to contact her sister , she decided to go after the spies herself and transformed into Wonder Girl .

Keen to make a distinction from the last pilot , producers gave the pilot the rather paradoxical title The New Original Wonder Woman . Scripting duties were given to Stanley Ralph Ross , who was instructed to be more faithful to the comic book and to create a subtle `` high comedy . '' Ross set the pilot in World War II , the era in which the original comic book began . After an intensive talent search , Lynda Carter , who had had a handful of minor acting roles and had been the 1972 Miss World USA and a Bob Hope USO cast member , was chosen for the lead role . For the role of Steve Trevor , the producers chose Lyle Waggoner , despite his dark brown , almost - black , hair not matching the comic 's blond Trevor , who at the time was better known as a comedic actor after several years co-starring in The Carol Burnett Show . He was also known to Ross as having been one of the leading candidates to play Batman a decade earlier , but instead Adam West was signed . Waggoner was also considered a pin - up hunk , having done a semi-nude pictorial in the first issue of Playgirl . Although the pilot followed the original comic book closely , in particular the aspect of Wonder Woman joining the military under the name Diana Prince , a number of elements were dropped . It mainly omitted Diana 's origin , including her birth on Paradise Island . The comic book Diana obtains the credentials of a look - alike nurse . Although the pilot shows Diana briefly as a nurse at one point , Diana takes on the identity of a Navy Yeoman Petty Officer First Class . One change , which was later to become synonymous with the show , was the transformation of Diana Prince into Wonder Woman by spinning .", "4": "During the filming of the pilot , producers were trying to figure out a way to show how Diana Prince became Wonder Woman , when Carter suggested that she do a spin . Unlike the earlier pilot , the comic - book origins of the character were emphasized by the retention of the character 's traditional uniform ( the design of which was interpreted and executed by Donald Lee Feld , credited as `` Donfeld '' ) with the original setting and through the use of comic book elements . The series 's title sequence was animated in the form of a series of comic book panels featuring Wonder Woman performing a variety of heroic feats . Within the show , location and exposition were handled through comic book - style text panels . Transitions between scenes and commercial breaks were marked by animated starburst sequences . Synopsis ( edit ) In early 1942 , during the Second World War , American pilot Major Steve Trevor ( Waggoner ) bails out during an air battle over the Bermuda Triangle , location of Paradise Island . The island is home to the Amazons : beautiful , ageless women with great strength , agility , and intelligence . Amazon princess Diana ( Carter ) rescues the handsome unconscious Trevor and helps nurse him back to health . Her mother , the Amazon queen ( Cloris Leachman ; succeeded by Carolyn Jones and Beatrice Straight in later episodes ) , decrees that Olympic - style games shall be held to select one Amazon to return Trevor back to America . But she forbids her own daughter Diana , the princess , to participate . Diana states that since she is not allowed to participate , she does not want to be present for the games and will take a retreat to the other side of the island . The games are held with participants wearing masks and numbers , shown as Roman numerals in triangles on white sleeveless short tunic - dresses . Among the contestants is a blonde Amazon . During the events , the blonde Amazon shows exceptional skills and she ties for first with another Amazon . To break the deadlock , the `` bullets and bracelets '' event is decided as the tiebreaker , wherein each of the women takes turns shooting at the other ; the one being shot at must deflect the bullets with her bulletproof bracelets . The blond woman wins the event , superficially injuring her opponent 's arm . When she is pronounced the winner , she removes her mask and wig and reveals that she is Diana .", "5": "Her mother , though initially shocked , relents and allows her to go to America . Diana 's uniform as Wonder Woman , designed by Queen Hippolyta , features emblems of America , the land to which she will be returning Steve Trevor . A golden belt will be the source of her strength and power while away from Paradise Island . She has her bullet - deflecting bracelets and also receives a golden lasso which is unbreakable and forces people to obey and tell the truth when bound with it . As shown later in flashback , Hippolyta also teaches Diana how to transform her clothes magically into the uniform . Diana , as Wonder Woman , flies to Washington , D.C. in an invisible plane . After dropping Trevor off at a hospital , the heroine stumbles upon a bank robbery , which she stops . A theatrical agent who sees her in action offers to help make her bullets and bracelets act a stage attraction . Diana is hesitant , but needing money in this new society , she agrees . Meanwhile , Trevor 's civilian secretary Marcia ( Stella Stevens ) is a double agent for the Nazi Fifth Columnists . She seeks to aid top spies in killing Trevor and opposing this new threat , Wonder Woman . Her first attempt is arranging for an accomplice to fire a machine gun at Wonder Woman during her stage act . Later , as spy activities increase , Trevor leaves the hospital but gets in a fight and is captured , prompting his `` nurse '' Diana to come to his rescue . Wonder Woman defeats Marcia in an extended fight sequence in the War Department . Having defeated Marcia , Wonder Woman thwarts a Nazi pilot who had plans to bomb the Brooklyn Navy Yard by using her invisible plane , and she rescues Trevor . With Marcia and the spy ring defeated , the film closes as Trevor and Brigadier General Blankenship talk about Trevor 's new secretary whom Blankenship selected not only for her outstanding clerical test scores , but her decidedly plain appearance in contrast to Marcia : the bespectacled Yeoman First Class Diana Prince USNR ( WR ) , Wonder Woman in disguise . Season 1 ( edit ) The pilot film aired on November 7 , 1975 , was a ratings success , and ABC quickly authorized the production of two one - hour specials which aired in April 1976 .", "6": "These three productions would later be considered part of the show 's first season . The episodes scored strong ratings , and ABC ordered an additional 11 episodes for the new 1976 -- 77 TV season . The network began airing the episodes every few weeks apart at the beginning of the TV season in September 1976 . After mid-December 1976 , episodes aired on a weekly basis until mid-February 1977 . A few cast changes were made between the specials and the series . Former Happy Days recurring actress Beatrice Colen joined the cast as Corporal Etta Candy WAAC , General Blankenship 's secretary , thereby providing YN1 Prince with a subordinate . Three episodes featured Debra Winger as Diana 's younger sister , Drusilla , a.k.a. Wonder Girl , in one of her earliest acting roles . One of the most memorable aspects of the show that was developed during the first season was the transformation sequence that changed Diana Prince into her superheroine alter ego . The sequence in the original specials employed a slow fade between two synchronized shots , both filmed with an overcranked camera to create a slow motion effect . A twirling Diana Prince 's hair would fall loose as the shot transitioned to a twirling Wonder Woman holding her Diana clothes , which she would stow nearby in a closet or locker . ( How she changes back to Diana is never shown , although presumably she must return to the location to retrieve her clothes . ) To ensure both segments transitioned smoothly the camera was locked off ( secured in place ) while Carter 's clothing , make - up , and hair was altered between identities , a process Carter said on a DVD commentary typically took about 45 minutes . The spinning transformation was later incorporated into the comics and into animated appearances such as Justice League Unlimited . ( Prior to the series in which Carter starred , the transformation was depicted in the comics by way of Diana spinning her magic lasso around her body , with the lasso changing her clothes , or by simply changing at super-human speed . ) The iconic explosion overlay most associated with the TV show was introduced after the third episode to mask the cut point between the Diana and Wonder Woman clips , meaning they no longer needed to be perfectly aligned . This allowed them to be shot without a locked off camera at more convenient points in the production schedule , when Carter was already in the appropriate costume .", "7": "The slow motion aspect of the sequence was dropped , and Wonder Woman was no longer left holding her Diana Prince clothes . A thunderclap sound effect accompanied the explosion effect ; both the explosion flash and its sound are apparently non-diegetic ( only heard by the audience , not within the narrative world ) , as demonstrated by Diana changing unnoticed in a dormitory of sleeping women , in adjoining office spaces , etc . Generally the audience never sees Wonder Woman change back to Diana Prince , although there is one occasion when it is almost shown : Wonder Woman reveals her secret identity to her little sister Drusilla by slowly turning on the spot , but the actual moment of transformation is masked by a cut - away reaction shot of Drusilla ( no thunderclap was heard ) . During season one , Wonder Woman has the ability to impersonate anyone 's voice , which came in handy over the telephone . She did not use this ability during seasons two and three . The series began at a time when violence on television was under intense scrutiny . As a result , Wonder Woman was less frequently seen punching or kicking people the way she did in the early episodes . She would usually be shown pushing and throwing enemies or using creativity to get them to somehow knock themselves out ( such as jumping high into the air to cause pursuers to collide ) . Despite the wartime setting , she almost never resorted to deadly force . The only exception occurs in the pilot episode when she sinks a German U-boat by crashing an airplane into it , presumably killing everyone aboard . Wonder Woman herself was occasionally overpowered by chloroform and poison gas , but she always came back in the second half of the show to save the day . In some episodes , her enemies learn the secret of her superhuman strength -- her magic belt -- and temporarily steal it , leaving her with average human strength . Her indestructible lasso and bracelets were stolen or taken away in one episode ( leaving her defenseless against gunfire ) , but Wonder Woman recovered them by the end of the episode . ( In the comics , Wonder Woman 's bracelets were welded onto her forearms , and she would lose most of her strength if men were to join them forcibly with metal . ) Season 2 establishes that Wonder Woman remained active from 1942 to 1945 and was honored by Franklin D. Roosevelt for her work against Axis attacks .", "8": "Season 2 ( edit ) Despite good ratings for the series , ABC stalled on picking up the show for a second season . This was because Wonder Woman was a period piece , being set in the 1940s , which made the set , clothing , automobiles , etc. more expensive to produce . While ABC had not yet committed , the show 's production company Warner Bros. listened to an offer from rival network CBS . While ABC continued to make up its mind , CBS agreed to pick up the series on condition that the setting be changed from World War II ( the 1940s ) to the modern day ( the 1970s ) . Changing the title to The New Adventures of Wonder Woman , the series was moved away from international intrigue to a more conventional police / detective action - type show that was more common in the 1970s . Princess Diana , aging slowly because of her Amazon nature , returns from Paradise Island after a 35 - year absence ( looking virtually the same ) to become an agent with the Inter-Agency Defense Command ( IADC ) , a CIA / FBI - type organization fighting crime , espionage , and the occasional alien invasion . Strictly speaking , Lynda Carter was the only cast member whose character continued into the second and third seasons ( aside from a brief cameo appearance of Major Trevor ( Lyle Waggoner ) in Diana 's flashback when she first encountered his son and a framed photograph of him seen on the younger Trevor 's office credenza in season 3 ) . The original Steve Trevor was revealed to have risen to the rank of major general and died in the 35 - year interim between the first and second seasons , although Lyle Waggoner remained with the series , portraying Trevor 's son , Steve Jr . As a child , Steve Jr. had heard his late father 's stories of adventures with Wonder Woman during World War II . It is essentially confirmed in the second season première that his father never introduced him to Wonder Woman and that he had never even seen her photographed . It is similarly implied that he and YN1 Diana Prince were unaware of each other . Diana is taken aback by the younger Steve 's existence , implying that his father had never spoken of the boy to either Wonder Woman or YN1 Prince . This was particularly striking when she spoke to Steve Jr.", "9": "about knowing his father well , from the j - shaped burn scar on his right shoulder , to the 20mm shell casing that he used as a paperweight . Despite ( or perhaps because of ) the fact that Wonder Woman had fallen in love with the first Steve Trevor , the producers chose to drop any suggestion that Steve Jr. and Wonder Woman were anything more than good friends . Indeed , when an impostor posing as Steve Jr. attempted to seduce Diana , she made it quite clear that she had no sexual interest in him . Executive producer Douglas S. Cramer noted the difficulties in maintaining long - term romantic tension between leads , because the resolution of that romantic tension often results in the cancellation of the series . Since Waggoner returned in a technically new role , Diana 's mother Hippolyta was the only other first season character to be seen or mentioned , though she was played by a new actress , Beatrice Straight , succeeding Carolyn Jones and Cloris Leachman in the role . The post-war fates of General Phil Blankenship , Etta Candy , and Drusilla / Wonder Girl were never revealed . Diana , Steve and Joe Atkinson ( Norman Burton ) , a weathered IADC agent , received their orders from a `` Charlie 's Angels - like '' character who is heard but never seen . Diana and Steve would go out and work the field while Joe assisted from the office . The Atkinson character was dropped after the ninth episode of this season , and Steve was given a promotion , becoming IADC Director , and Diana 's boss , in the process . This promotion for Steve Trevor meant that Lyle Waggoner was seen less in subsequent episodes for the remainder of the series ' run . In this season , the computer IRAC ( Information Retrieval Associative Computer ) , more informally known as `` Ira , '' was introduced : its first appearance is in season 2 , episode 1 , where Diana introduces her Diana Prince identity into its records , over IRAC 's protests . Ira was the IADC 's super-intelligent computer , who deduces that Diana Prince is really Wonder Woman , although he never shares this information with anyone , except Diana herself . Saundra Sharp joined the cast as Eve , Steve 's assistant ( the job held by Diana at the start of the season ) .", "10": "Towards the end of the season , in the episode `` IRAC is Missing , '' a small mobile robot called Rover was added for comic relief . An offshoot of IRAC who performs duties such as delivering coffee and sorting mail , Rover speaks with a high - pitched voice , occasionally makes `` Beep Beep '' sounds and , like IRAC , is aware that Wonder Woman 's secret identity is Diana Prince . The theme song was re-written to remove references to the Axis , reflecting the series ' new present - day setting , and the action depicted in the opening 's animated comic book panels was similarly updated . Beginning with the episode `` The Man Who Made Volcanoes , '' the opening title sequence was changed again to an instrumental and more traditional `` action scenes '' opening . The animated stars used before and after commercial breaks were dropped . The producers of Wonder Woman generally maintained her no - kill policy , although there were exceptions : In the episode `` Anschluss ' 77 '' she is forced to destroy a clone of Adolf Hitler . Another episode made reference to a villain who was believed drowned following a previous unseen encounter with Diana / Wonder Woman . Unlike in the first season , Wonder Woman 's sources of power ( magic belt , bracelets , golden lasso ) were never removed from her and stolen by villains during the two years the series was set in the 1970s . Other changes in season two included a slight redesign ( again by Donald Lee Feld , still credited as `` Donfeld '' ) of Wonder Woman 's uniform . The bustier was more flexible , featured less gold metal in the eagle wings in favor of red cloth background , and was cut lower to highlight Carter 's décolletage and cleavage . The star - spangled bottoms were cut higher in the thighs , with the number of stars reduced , stopping below her hips , and rearranged in a more symmetrical starburst pattern . The bracelets changed from dull silver - grey to bright gold , and were noticeably smaller and thinner . Her tiara , appearing unchanged when on Wonder Woman 's head , would flatten to become a boomerang , and its ruby star functioned as a communications link to Paradise Island and her mother the queen . Feld also introduced multiple new variants on Wonder Woman 's uniform beginning in season two .", "11": "She still wore the red - white - and - blue cape for special events or appearances from the first season , but without the skirt . ( This variant could be described as Wonder Woman 's `` full - dress uniform . '' ) A diving uniform was introduced -- this consisted of a navy - blue lycra body suit with matching gloves , gold bracelets , flat boots , and a flexible tiara ; this was featured whenever aquatic activity was required . The same uniform , with low - heeled boots and a gold helmet , was used to ride motorcycles . At first , Wonder Woman would switch to these newer uniforms by performing an extended spin in which she first changed from her Diana Prince clothes to Wonder Woman 's standard uniform , then continued to spin until a second light explosion occurred and she would appear in one of the newer variants . However , this extended spin device was dropped for expediency and Diana was then able to change into any of Wonder Woman 's uniforms in a single change . Wonder Woman 's invisible plane appeared a couple of times in season two , and not at all in season three . The plane 's shape was updated with the change in temporal setting , losing the rounded fuselage and modestly curved wings evocative of a World War II - era pursuit - fighter , in favor of a dart - like , delta winged jet . Season 3 ( edit ) With the beginning of the third season , further changes were made to target the show at a teenage audience . The title theme was re-recorded again to give it a disco beat , the use of the robot ' Rover ' was increased for comic effect , and episodes began to revolve around topical subjects like skateboarding , roller coasters and the environment . ( Feld also gave Wonder Woman a `` skate - boarder 's '' uniform , which was also capable of use for training in any `` extreme sport '' in which she participated . ) Teenagers or young adults were commonly used as main characters in the plot lines . Eve disappeared from the cast although she is mentioned once or twice . Episodes during this season showed Diana on assignments by herself far more often ( particularly outside of Washington DC ) , and Steve Trevor had become Diana 's boss and was seen less . Wonder Woman was also allowed to become a bit more physical in the third season and could now be seen throwing the occasional punch or kicking .", "12": "The writers also came up with several unusual ways for Diana to execute her spinning transformation , the most notable instances occurring in the episode `` Stolen Faces '' in which Diana makes the change while falling off a tall building , and the season two episode `` The Pied Piper '' in which she changes while strapped into a spinning chair . Diana also exhibited other powers , particularly in the episode `` The Deadly Dolphin , '' in which she is shown communicating telepathically with animals ( reminiscent of the `` mental radio '' from the comics , which was never shown on the series ) and generating bursts of an unknown form of energy to scare away a killer shark . In the final episode produced , the writers attempted a `` relaunch '' of sorts by having Diana reassigned to the Los Angeles bureau of IADC with a new supporting cast . Though done in anticipation of a fourth season , the revamp was seen for only a single episode ( `` The Man Who Could Not Die '' ) , which set up an assortment of new supporting characters . These included Dale Hawthorn , Diana 's new IADC boss , Bret Cassiday ( Bob Seagren ) , a genetically enhanced man who was indestructible ( the titular character of the episode ) , as well as a streetwise youngster named T. Burton Phipps III who inexplicably is allowed to hang out at the IADC . Also added to the cast was a chimpanzee who , like Bret , is also indestructible . This episode was actually the last to be produced and should have ended the third season , but was shown out of sequence with the two - parter `` The Phantom of the Roller Coaster . '' These final three episodes aired by themselves in August -- September 1979 , months after the broadcast of the rest of season three , creating a mini-season , though they remain grouped as part of season three as opposed to being considered an abbreviated fourth season . CBS ultimately decided to move The Incredible Hulk up to the Friday 8 : 00 hour from 9 : 00 to introduce the new series The Dukes of Hazzard , but no further episodes of Wonder Woman were produced due to the lack of new cast members for a fourth season and low ratings . After her first musical television special , Carter gave up the role to focus more on her musical career .", "13": "Wonder Woman ' 77 comic ( edit ) In October 2014 , DC announced an ongoing comic book series set in the Lynda Carter TV series continuity .

The President is also Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces , and as such has broad authority over the armed forces . Both the Secretary of State and ambassadors are appointed by the President , with the advice and consent of the Senate . The United States Secretary of State is the foreign minister of the United States and is the primary conductor of state - to - state diplomacy . Powers of the Congress ( edit ) The U.S. Constitution gives much of the foreign policy decision - making to the presidency , but the Senate has a role in ratifying treaties , and the Supreme Court interprets treaties when cases are presented to it . Main articles : Treaty Clause , War Powers Clause , Appointments Clause , and Foreign Commerce Clause Congress is the only branch of government that has the authority to declare war . Furthermore , Congress writes the civilian and military budget , thus has vast power in military action and foreign aid . Congress also has power to regulate commerce with foreign nations . Historical overview ( edit ) Main articles : History of U.S. foreign policy and Timeline of United States diplomatic history The Jay Treaty of 1795 aligned the U.S. more with Britain and less with France , leading to political polarization at home The main trend regarding the history of U.S. foreign policy since the American Revolution is the shift from non-interventionism before and after World War I , to its growth as a world power and global hegemony during and since World War II and the end of the Cold War in the 20th century . Since the 19th century , U.S. foreign policy also has been characterized by a shift from the realist school to the idealistic or Wilsonian school of international relations .", "3": "Foreign policy themes were expressed considerably in George Washington 's farewell address ; these included among other things , observing good faith and justice towards all nations and cultivating peace and harmony with all , excluding both `` inveterate antipathies against particular nations , and passionate attachments for others '' , `` steer ( ing ) clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world '' , and advocating trade with all nations . These policies became the basis of the Federalist Party in the 1790s . But the rival Jeffersonians feared Britain and favored France in the 1790s , declaring the War of 1812 on Britain . After the 1778 alliance with France , the U.S. did not sign another permanent treaty until the North Atlantic Treaty in 1949 . Over time , other themes , key goals , attitudes , or stances have been variously expressed by Presidential ' doctrines ' , named for them . Initially these were uncommon events , but since WWII , these have been made by most presidents . Jeffersonians vigorously opposed a large standing army and any navy until attacks against American shipping by Barbary corsairs spurred the country into developing a naval force projection capability , resulting in the First Barbary War in 1801 . Despite two wars with European Powers -- the War of 1812 and the 1898 Spanish -- American War -- American foreign policy was peaceful and marked by steady expansion of its foreign trade during the 19th century . The 1803 Louisiana Purchase doubled the nation 's geographical area ; Spain ceded the territory of Florida in 1819 ; annexation brought in the independent Texas Republic in 1845 ; a war with Mexico in 1848 added California , Arizona , Utah , Nevada , and New Mexico . The U.S. bought Alaska from the Russian Empire in 1867 , and it annexed the independent Republic of Hawaii in 1898 . Victory over Spain in 1898 brought the Philippines , and Puerto Rico , as well as oversight of Cuba . The short experiment in imperialism ended by 1908 , as the U.S. turned its attention to the Panama Canal and the stabilization of regions to its south , including Mexico . 20th century ( edit ) World War I ( edit ) The 20th century was marked by two world wars in which the United States , along with allied powers , defeated its enemies and increased its international reputation .", "4": "President Wilson 's Fourteen Points was developed from his idealistic Wilsonianism program of spreading democracy and fighting militarism so as to end any wars . It became the basis of the German Armistice ( really a surrender ) and the 1919 Paris Peace Conference . The resulting Treaty of Versailles , due to European allies ' punitive and territorial designs , showed insufficient conformity with these points and the U.S. signed separate treaties with each of its adversaries ; due to Senate objections also , the U.S. never joined the League of Nations , which was established as a result of Wilson 's initiative . In the 1920s , the United States followed an independent course , and succeeded in a program of naval disarmament , and refunding the German economy . Operating outside the League it became a dominant player in diplomatic affairs . New York became the financial capital of the world , but the Wall Street Crash of 1929 hurled the Western industrialized world into the Great Depression . American trade policy relied on high tariffs under the Republicans , and reciprocal trade agreements under the Democrats , but in any case exports were at very low levels in the 1930s . World War II ( edit ) Main article : Diplomatic history of World War II § United States Allies of World War II at the Yalta Conference : Winston Churchill , Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin . The United States adopted a non-interventionist foreign policy from 1932 to 1938 , but then President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved toward strong support of the Allies in their wars against Germany and Japan . As a result of intense internal debate , the national policy was one of becoming the Arsenal of Democracy , that is financing and equipping the Allied armies without sending American combat soldiers . Roosevelt mentioned four fundamental freedoms , which ought to be enjoyed by people `` everywhere in the world '' ; these included the freedom of speech and religion , as well as freedom from want and fear . Roosevelt helped establish terms for a post-war world among potential allies at the Atlantic Conference ; specific points were included to correct earlier failures , which became a step toward the United Nations . American policy was to threaten Japan , to force it out of China , and to prevent its attacking the Soviet Union . However , Japan reacted by an attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 , and the United States was at war with Japan , Germany , and Italy .", "5": "Instead of the loans given to allies in World War I , the United States provided Lend - Lease grants of $50,000,000,000 . Working closely with Winston Churchill of Britain , and Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union , Roosevelt sent his forces into the Pacific against Japan , then into North Africa against Italy and Germany , and finally into Europe starting with France and Italy in 1944 against the Germans . The American economy roared forward , doubling industrial production , and building vast quantities of airplanes , ships , tanks , munitions , and , finally , the atomic bomb . Much of the American war effort went to strategic bombers , which flattened the cities of Japan and Germany . Cold War ( edit ) Main article : Cold War Chinese Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong meets with U.S. President Richard Nixon , 1972 After the war , the U.S. rose to become the dominant non-colonial economic power with broad influence in much of the world , with the key policies of the Marshall Plan and the Truman Doctrine . Almost immediately , however , the world witnessed division into broad two camps during the Cold War ; one side was led by the U.S. and the other by the Soviet Union , but this situation also led to the establishment of the Non-Aligned Movement . This period lasted until almost the end of the 20th century and is thought to be both an ideological and power struggle between the two superpowers . A policy of containment was adopted to limit Soviet expansion , and a series of proxy wars were fought with mixed results . In 1991 , the Soviet Union dissolved into separate nations , and the Cold War formally ended as the United States gave separate diplomatic recognition to the Russian Federation and other former Soviet states . In domestic politics , foreign policy is not usually a central issue . In 1945 -- 1970 the Democratic Party took a strong anti-Communist line and supported wars in Korea and Vietnam . Then the party split with a strong dovish element ( typified by 1972 presidential candidate George McGovern ) . Many `` hawks '' joined the Neoconservative movement and started supporting the Republicans -- especially Reagan -- based on foreign policy .", "6": "Meanwhile , down to 1952 the Republican Party was split between an isolationist wing , based in the Midwest and led by Senator Robert A. Taft , and an internationalist wing based in the East and led by Dwight D. Eisenhower . Eisenhower defeated Taft for the 1952 nomination largely on foreign policy grounds . Since then the Republicans have been characterized by a hawkish and intense American nationalism , and strong opposition to Communism , and strong support for Israel . 21st century ( edit ) In the 21st century , U.S. influence remains strong but , in relative terms , is declining in terms of economic output compared to rising nations such as China , India , Russia , Brazil , and the newly consolidated European Union . Substantial problems remain , such as climate change , nuclear proliferation , and the specter of nuclear terrorism . Foreign policy analysts Hachigian and Sutphen in their book The Next American Century suggest all six powers have similar vested interests in stability and terrorism prevention and trade ; if they can find common ground , then the next decades may be marked by peaceful growth and prosperity . In 2017 diplomats from other countries developed new tactics to deal with President Donald Trump . The New York Times reported on the eve of his first foreign trip as president : For foreign leaders trying to figure out the best way to approach an American president unlike any they have known , it is a time of experimentation . Embassies in Washington trade tips and ambassadors send cables to presidents and ministers back home suggesting how to handle a mercurial , strong - willed leader with no real experience on the world stage , a preference for personal diplomacy and a taste for glitz ... certain rules have emerged : Keep it short -- no 30 - minute monologue for a 30 - second attention span . Do not assume he knows the history of the country or its major points of contention . Compliment him on his Electoral College victory . Contrast him favorably with President Barack Obama . Do not get hung up on whatever was said during the campaign . Stay in regular touch . Do not go in with a shopping list but bring some sort of deal he can call a victory . Trump has numerous aides giving advice on foreign policy . The chief diplomat is Secretary of State Rex Tillerson .", "7": "His major foreign policy positions , which sometimes are at odds with Trump , include : urging the United States to stay in the Trans - Pacific Partnership and the Paris climate accord , taking a hard line on Russia , advocating negotiations and dialogue to defuse the mounting crisis with North Korea , advocating for continued U.S. adherence to the Iran nuclear deal , taking a neutral position in the dispute between Qatar and Saudi Arabia , and reassuring jittery allies , from South Korea and Japan to our NATO partners , that America still has their back . Law ( edit ) Main articles : Treaty and Treaty Clause In the United States , there are three types of treaty - related law : Executive agreements Congressional - executive agreements are made by the President and Congress . A majority of both houses makes it binding much like regular legislation after it is signed by the president . The Constitution does not expressly state that these agreements are allowed , and constitutional scholars such as Laurence Tribe think they are unconstitutional . Sole executive agreements are made by the President alone . Treaties are formal written agreements specified by the Treaty Clause of the Constitution . The president makes a treaty with foreign powers , but then the proposed treaty must be ratified by a two - thirds vote in the Senate . For example , President Wilson proposed the Treaty of Versailles after World War I after consulting with allied powers , but this treaty was rejected by the U.S. Senate ; as a result , the U.S. subsequently made separate agreements with different nations . While most international law has a broader interpretation of the term treaty , the U.S. sense of the term is more restricted . In Missouri v. Holland , the Supreme Court ruled that the power to make treaties under the U.S. Constitution is a power separate from the other enumerated powers of the federal government , and hence the federal government can use treaties to legislate in areas which would otherwise fall within the exclusive authority of the states . International law in most nations considers all three of the above agreements as treaties . In most nations , treaty laws supersede domestic law . So if there is a conflict between a treaty obligation and a domestic law , then the treaty usually prevails . In contrast to most other nations , the United States considers the three types of agreements as distinct . Further , the United States incorporates treaty law into the body of U.S. federal law .", "8": "As a result , Congress can modify or repeal treaties afterward . It can overrule an agreed - upon treaty obligation even if this is seen as a violation of the treaty under international law . Several U.S. court rulings confirmed this understanding , including the 1900 Supreme Court decision in Paquete Habana , a late 1950s decision in Reid v. Covert , and a lower court ruling in 1986 in Garcia - Mir v. Meese . Further , the Supreme Court has declared itself as having the power to rule a treaty as void by declaring it `` unconstitutional '' , although as of 2011 , it has never exercised this power . The State Department has taken the position that the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties represents established law . Generally , when the U.S. signs a treaty , it is binding . However , because of the Reid v. Covert decision , the U.S. adds a reservation to the text of every treaty that says , in effect , that the U.S. intends to abide by the treaty , but if the treaty is found to be in violation of the Constitution , then the U.S. legally ca n't abide by the treaty since the U.S. signature would be ultra vires . International agreements ( edit ) The United States has ratified and participates in many other multilateral treaties , including arms control treaties ( especially with the Soviet Union ) , human rights treaties , environmental protocols , and free trade agreements . Further information : List of United States treaties Economic and General government ( edit ) The United States is a founding member of the United Nations and most of its specialized agencies , notably including the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund . The U.S. has at times has withheld payment of dues due to disagreements with the UN . The United States is also member of : Organization of American States Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe ( OECD ) NAFTA , the regional trade bloc with Canada and Mexico World Trade Organization Asia - Pacific Economic Cooperation ( APEC ) Group of Seven ( G7 ) World Customs Organization Freely Associated States ( edit ) After it captured the islands from Japan during World War II , the United States administered the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands from 1947 to 1986 ( 1994 for Palau ) .", "9": "The Northern Mariana Islands became a U.S. territory ( part of the United States ) , while Federated States of Micronesia , the Marshall Islands , and Palau became independent countries . Each has signed a Compact of Free Association that gives the United States exclusive military access in return for U.S. defense protection and conduct of military foreign affairs ( except the declaration of war ) and a few billion dollars of aid . These agreements also generally allow citizens of these countries to live and work in the United States with their spouses ( and vice versa ) , and provide for largely free trade . The federal government also grants access to services from domestic agencies , including the Federal Emergency Management Agency , National Weather Service , the United States Postal Service , the Federal Aviation Administration , the Federal Communications Commission , and U.S. representation to the International Frequency Registration Board of the International Telecommunication Union . Further information : Associated state Non-participation in multilateral agreements ( edit ) The United States notably does not participate in various international agreements adhered to by almost all other industrialized countries , by almost all the countries of the Americas , or by almost all other countries in the world . With a large population and economy , on a practical level this can undermine the effect of certain agreements , or give other countries a precedent to cite for non-participation in various agreements . In some cases the arguments against participation include that the United States should maximize its sovereignty and freedom of action , or that ratification would create a basis for lawsuits that would treat American citizens unfairly . In other cases , the debate became involved in domestic political issues , such as gun control , climate change , and the death penalty .", "10": "Examples include : Versailles Treaty and the League of Nations covenant ( in force 1920 -- 45 , signed but not ratified ) International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights ( took effect in 1976 , ratified with substantial reservations ) International Covenant on Economic , Social and Cultural Rights ( took effect in 1976 , signed but not ratified ) American Convention on Human Rights ( took effect in 1978 ) Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women ( took effect in 1981 , signed but not ratified ) Convention on the Rights of the Child ( took effect in 1990 , signed but not ratified ) United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea ( took effect in 1994 ) Comprehensive Nuclear - Test - Ban Treaty ( signed in 1996 but never ratified and never took effect ) Mine Ban Treaty ( took effect in 1999 ) International Criminal Court ( took effect in 2002 ) Kyoto Protocol ( in force 2005 -- 12 , signed but not ratified ) Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture ( took effect in 2006 ) Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities ( took effect in 2008 , signed but not ratified ) Convention on Cluster Munitions ( took effect in 2010 ) International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance ( took effect in 2010 ) Arms Trade Treaty ( took effect in 2014 ) Other human rights treaties Further information : List of treaties unsigned or unratified by the United States Hub and spoke vs multilateral ( edit ) While America 's relationships with Europe have tended to be in terms of multilateral frameworks , such as NATO , America 's relations with Asia have tended to be based on a `` hub and spoke '' model using a series of bilateral relationships where states coordinate with the United States and do not collaborate with each other . On May 30 , 2009 , at the Shangri - La Dialogue Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates urged the nations of Asia to build on this hub and spoke model as they established and grew multilateral institutions such as ASEAN , APEC and the ad hoc arrangements in the area . However , in 2011 Gates said that the United States must serve as the `` indispensable nation , '' for building multilateral cooperation .", "11": "Oil ( edit ) Persian Gulf ( edit ) Further information : Energy policy of the United States and Petroleum politics A U.S. soldier stands guard duty near a burning oil well in the Rumaila oil field , Iraq , April 2003 As of 2014 , the U.S. currently produces about 66 % of the oil that it consumes . While its imports have exceeded domestic production since the early 1990s , new hydraulic fracturing techniques and discovery of shale oil deposits in Canada and the American Dakotas offer the potential for increased energy independence from oil exporting countries such as OPEC . Former U.S. President George W. Bush identified dependence on imported oil as an urgent `` national security concern '' . Two - thirds of the world 's proven oil reserves are estimated to be found in the Persian Gulf . Despite its distance , the Persian Gulf region was first proclaimed to be of national interest to the United States during World War II . Petroleum is of central importance to modern armies , and the United States -- as the world 's leading oil producer at that time -- supplied most of the oil for the Allied armies . Many U.S. strategists were concerned that the war would dangerously reduce the U.S. oil supply , and so they sought to establish good relations with Saudi Arabia , a kingdom with large oil reserves . The Persian Gulf region continued to be regarded as an area of vital importance to the United States during the Cold War . Three Cold War United States Presidential doctrines -- the Truman Doctrine , the Eisenhower Doctrine , and the Nixon Doctrine -- played roles in the formulation of the Carter Doctrine , which stated that the United States would use military force if necessary to defend its `` national interests '' in the Persian Gulf region . Carter 's successor , President Ronald Reagan , extended the policy in October 1981 with what is sometimes called the `` Reagan Corollary to the Carter Doctrine '' , which proclaimed that the United States would intervene to protect Saudi Arabia , whose security was threatened after the outbreak of the Iran -- Iraq War . Some analysts have argued that the implementation of the Carter Doctrine and the Reagan Corollary also played a role in the outbreak of the 2003 Iraq War . Canada ( edit ) Almost all of Canada 's energy exports go to the United States , making it the largest foreign source of U.S.", "12": "energy imports : Canada is consistently among the top sources for U.S. oil imports , and it is the largest source of U.S. natural gas and electricity imports . Africa ( edit ) In 2007 the U.S. was Sub-Saharan Africa 's largest single export market accounting for 28 % of exports ( second in total to the EU at 31 % ) . 81 % of U.S. imports from this region were petroleum products . Foreign aid ( edit ) Main articles : United States foreign aid and United States Agency for International Development Foreign assistance is a core component of the State Department 's international affairs budget , which is $49 billion in all for 2014 . Aid is considered an essential instrument of U.S. foreign policy . There are four major categories of non-military foreign assistance : bilateral development aid , economic assistance supporting U.S. political and security goals , humanitarian aid , and multilateral economic contributions ( for example , contributions to the World Bank and International Monetary Fund ) . In absolute dollar terms , the United States government is the largest international aid donor ( $23 billion in 2014 ) . The U.S. Agency for International Development ( USAID ) manages the bulk of bilateral economic assistance ; the Treasury Department handles most multilateral aid . In addition many private agencies , churches and philanthropies provide aid . Although the United States is the largest donor in absolute dollar terms , it is actually ranked 19 out of 27 countries on the Commitment to Development Index . The CDI ranks the 27 richest donor countries on their policies that affect the developing world . In the aid component the United States is penalized for low net aid volume as a share of the economy , a large share of tied or partially tied aid , and a large share of aid given to less poor and relatively undemocratic governments . Foreign aid is a highly partisan issue in the United States , with liberals , on average , supporting foreign aid much more than conservatives do . Military ( edit ) As of 2016 , the United States is actively conducting military operations against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and Al - Qaeda under the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists , including in areas of fighting in the Syrian Civil War and Yemeni Civil War .", "13": "The Guantanamo Bay Naval Base holds what the federal government considers unlawful combatants from these ongoing activities , and has been a controversial issue in foreign relations , domestic politics , and Cuba -- United States relations . Other major U.S. military concerns include stability in Afghanistan and Iraq after the recent invasions of those countries , and Russian military activity in Ukraine . Mutual defense agreements ( edit ) A map of allies of the United States NATO member states , including their colonies and overseas possessions Major non-NATO allies , plus Republic of China ( Taiwan ) Signatories of Partnership for Peace with NATO The United States is a founding member of NATO , an alliance of 28 North American and European nations formed to defend Western Europe against the Soviet Union during the Cold War . Under the NATO charter , the United States is compelled to defend any NATO state that is attacked by a foreign power . The United States itself was the first country to invoke the mutual defense provisions of the alliance , in response to the September 11 attacks . The United States also has mutual military defense treaties with : Australia and New Zealand Japan South Korea Philippines Thailand , with other states formerly in the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization Most countries in South America , Central America , and the Caribbean , through the Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance The United States has responsibility for the defense of the three Compact of Free Association states : Federated States of Micronesia , the Marshall Islands , and Palau . Other allies and multilateral organizations ( edit ) Countries with U.S. military bases ( excluding the U.S. Coast Guard ) . In 1989 , the United States also granted five nations the major non-NATO ally status ( MNNA ) , and additions by later presidents have brought the list to 28 nations . Each such state has a unique relationship with the United States , involving various military and economic partnerships and alliances . U.S. Air Force Special Tactics Commandos training with Jordanian special operations forces and lesser agreements with : Taiwan Israel Saudi Arabia The U.S. participates in various military - related multi-lateral organizations , including : Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons International Atomic Energy Agency The U.S. also operates hundreds of military bases around the world . Unilateral vs.", "14": "multilateral military actions ( edit ) The United States has undertaken unilateral and multilateral military operations throughout its history ( see Timeline of United States military operations ) . In the post-World War II era , the country has had permanent membership and veto power in the United Nations Security Council , allowing it to undertake any military action without formal Security Council opposition . With vast military expenditures , the United States is known as the sole remaining superpower after the collapse of the Soviet Union . The U.S. contributes a relatively small number of personnel for United Nations peacekeeping operations . It sometimes acts though NATO , as with the NATO intervention in Bosnia and Herzegovina , NATO bombing of Yugoslavia , and ISAF in Afghanistan , but often acts unilaterally or in ad - hoc coalitions as with the 2003 invasion of Iraq . The United Nations Charter requires that military operations be either for self - defense or affirmatively approved by the Security Council . Though many of their operations have followed these rules , the United States and NATO have been accused of committing crimes against peace in international law , for example in the 1999 Yugoslavia and 2003 Iraq operations . Aid ( edit ) Main articles : United States military aid , United States Foreign Military Financing , and Foreign Military Sales U.S. Soldiers unload humanitarian aid for distribution to the town of Rajan Kala , Afghanistan , December 2009 The U.S. provides military aid through many different channels . Counting the items that appear in the budget as ' Foreign Military Financing ' and ' Plan Colombia ' , the U.S. spent approximately $4.5 billion in military aid in 2001 , of which $2 billion went to Israel , $1.3 billion went to Egypt , and $1 billion went to Colombia . Since 9 / 11 , Pakistan has received approximately $11.5 billion in direct military aid . As of 2004 , according to Fox News , the U.S. had more than 700 military bases in 130 different countries . Estimated U.S. foreign military financing and aid by recipient for 2010 : Recipient Military aid 2010 ( USD Billions ) Iraq 6.50 Afghanistan 5.60 Israel 2.75 Egypt 1.75 Pakistan 1.60 Colombia .", "15": "834 Jordan . 300 Palestinian Authority . 100 Yemen . 070 According to a 2016 report by the Congressional Research Service , the U.S. topped the market in global weapon sales for 2015 , with $40 billion sold . The largest buyers were Qatar , Egypt , Saudi Arabia , South Korea , Pakistan , Israel , the United Arab Emirates and Iraq . Missile defense ( edit ) Main articles : National missile defense and Strategic Defense Initiative The Strategic Defense Initiative ( SDI ) was a proposal by U.S. President Ronald Reagan on March 23 , 1983 to use ground and space - based systems to protect the United States from attack by strategic nuclear ballistic missiles , later dubbed `` Star Wars '' . The initiative focused on strategic defense rather than the prior strategic offense doctrine of mutual assured destruction ( MAD ) . Though it was never fully developed or deployed , the research and technologies of SDI paved the way for some anti-ballistic missile systems of today . In February 2007 , the U.S. started formal negotiations with Poland and Czech Republic concerning construction of missile shield installations in those countries for a Ground - Based Midcourse Defense system ( in April 2007 , 57 % of Poles opposed the plan ) . According to press reports the government of the Czech Republic agreed ( while 67 % Czechs disagree ) to host a missile defense radar on its territory while a base of missile interceptors is supposed to be built in Poland . Russia threatened to place short - range nuclear missiles on the Russia 's border with NATO if the United States refuses to abandon plans to deploy 10 interceptor missiles and a radar in Poland and the Czech Republic . In April 2007 , Putin warned of a new Cold War if the Americans deployed the shield in Central Europe . Putin also said that Russia is prepared to abandon its obligations under an Intermediate - Range Nuclear Forces Treaty of 1987 with the United States . On August 14 , 2008 , the United States and Poland announced a deal to implement the missile defense system in Polish territory , with a tracking system placed in the Czech Republic .", "16": "`` The fact that this was signed in a period of very difficult crisis in the relations between Russia and the United States over the situation in Georgia shows that , of course , the missile defense system will be deployed not against Iran but against the strategic potential of Russia '' , Dmitry Rogozin , Russia 's NATO envoy , said . Keir A. Lieber and Daryl G. Press , argue in Foreign Affairs that U.S. missile defenses are designed to secure Washington 's nuclear primacy and are chiefly directed at potential rivals , such as Russia and China . The authors note that Washington continues to eschew nuclear first strike and contend that deploying missile defenses `` would be valuable primarily in an offensive context , not a defensive one ; as an adjunct to a US First Strike capability , not as a stand - alone shield '' : If the United States launched a nuclear attack against Russia ( or China ) , the targeted country would be left with only a tiny surviving arsenal , if any at all . At that point , even a relatively modest or inefficient missile defense system might well be enough to protect against any retaliatory strikes . This analysis is corroborated by the Pentagon 's 1992 Defense Planning Guidance ( DPG ) , prepared by then Secretary of Defense Richard Cheney and his deputies . The DPG declares that the United States should use its power to `` prevent the reemergence of a new rival '' either on former Soviet territory or elsewhere . The authors of the Guidance determined that the United States had to `` Field a missile defense system as a shield against accidental missile launches or limited missile strikes by ' international outlaws ' '' and also must `` Find ways to integrate the ' new democracies ' of the former Soviet bloc into the U.S. - led system '' . The National Archive notes that Document 10 of the DPG includes wording about `` disarming capabilities to destroy '' which is followed by several blacked out words . `` This suggests that some of the heavily excised pages in the still - classified DPG drafts may include some discussion of preventive action against threatening nuclear and other WMD programs . '' Finally , Robert David English , writing in Foreign Affairs , observes that in addition to the deployment U.S. missile defenses , the DPG 's second recommendation has also been proceeding on course .", "17": "`` Washington has pursued policies that have ignored Russian interests ( and sometimes international law as well ) in order to encircle Moscow with military alliances and trade blocs conducive to U.S. interests . '' Exporting democracy ( edit ) See also : American democracy promotion in the Middle East and North Africa In United States history , critics have charged that presidents have used democracy to justify military intervention abroad . Critics have also charged that the U.S. helped local militaries overthrow democratically elected governments in Iran , Guatemala , and in other instances . Studies have been devoted to the historical success rate of the U.S. in exporting democracy abroad . Some studies of American intervention have been pessimistic about the overall effectiveness of U.S. efforts to encourage democracy in foreign nations . Until recently , scholars have generally agreed with international relations professor Abraham Lowenthal that U.S. attempts to export democracy have been `` negligible , often counterproductive , and only occasionally positive . '' Other studies find U.S. intervention has had mixed results , and another by Hermann and Kegley has found that military interventions have improved democracy in other countries . Opinion that U.S. intervention does not export democracy ( edit ) Professor Paul W. Drake argued that the U.S. first attempted to export democracy in Latin America through intervention from 1912 to 1932 . Drake argued that this was contradictory because international law defines intervention as `` dictatorial interference in the affairs of another state for the purpose of altering the condition of things . '' The study suggested that efforts to promote democracy failed because democracy needs to develop out of internal conditions , and can not be forcibly imposed . There was disagreement about what constituted democracy ; Drake suggested American leaders sometimes defined democracy in a narrow sense of a nation having elections ; Drake suggested a broader understanding was needed . Further , there was disagreement about what constituted a `` rebellion '' ; Drake saw a pattern in which the U.S. State Department disapproved of any type of rebellion , even so - called `` revolutions '' , and in some instances rebellions against dictatorships . Historian Walter LaFeber stated , `` The world 's leading revolutionary nation ( the U.S. ) in the eighteenth century became the leading protector of the status quo in the twentieth century . '' Mesquita and Downs evaluated 35 U.S.", "18": "interventions from 1945 to 2004 and concluded that in only one case , Colombia , did a `` full fledged , stable democracy '' develop within ten years following the intervention . Samia Amin Pei argued that nation building in developed countries usually unravelled four to six years after American intervention ended . Pei , based on study of a database on worldwide democracies called Polity , agreed with Mesquita and Downs that U.S. intervention efforts usually do n't produce real democracies , and that most cases result in greater authoritarianism after ten years . Professor Joshua Muravchik argued U.S. occupation was critical for Axis power democratization after World War II , but America 's failure to encourage democracy in the third world `` prove ... that U.S. military occupation is not a sufficient condition to make a country democratic . '' The success of democracy in former Axis countries such as Italy were seen as a result of high national per - capita income , although U.S. protection was seen as a key to stabilization and important for encouraging the transition to democracy . Steven Krasner agreed that there was a link between wealth and democracy ; when per - capita incomes of $6,000 were achieved in a democracy , there was little chance of that country ever reverting to an autocracy , according to an analysis of his research in the Los Angeles Times . Opinion that U.S. intervention has mixed results ( edit ) Tures examined 228 cases of American intervention from 1973 to 2005 , using Freedom House data . A plurality of interventions , 96 , caused no change in the country 's democracy . In 69 instances , the country became less democratic after the intervention . In the remaining 63 cases , a country became more democratic . However this does not take into account the direction the country would have gone with no U.S. intervention . Opinion that U.S. intervention effectively exports democracy ( edit ) Hermann and Kegley found that American military interventions designed to protect or promote democracy increased freedom in those countries . Peceny argued that the democracies created after military intervention are still closer to an autocracy than a democracy , quoting Przeworski `` while some democracies are more democratic than others , unless offices are contested , no regime should be considered democratic . ''", "19": "Therefore , Peceny concludes , it is difficult to know from the Hermann and Kegley study whether U.S. intervention has only produced less repressive autocratic governments or genuine democracies . Peceny stated that the United States attempted to export democracy in 33 of its 93 20th - century military interventions . Peceny argued that proliberal policies after military intervention had a positive impact on democracy . Global opinion ( edit ) A global survey done by Pewglobal indicated that at ( as of 2014 ) least 33 surveyed countries have a positive view ( 50 % or above ) of the United States . With the top ten most positive countries being Philippines ( 92 % ) , Israel ( 84 % ) , South Korea ( 82 % ) , Kenya ( 80 % ) , El Salvador ( 80 % ) , Italy ( 78 % ) , Ghana ( 77 % ) , Vietnam ( 76 % ) , Bangladesh ( 76 % ) , and Tanzania ( 75 % ) . While 10 surveyed countries have the most negative view ( Below 50 % ) of the United States . With the countries being Egypt ( 10 % ) , Jordan ( 12 % ) , Pakistan ( 14 % ) , Turkey ( 19 % ) , Russia ( 23 % ) , Palestinian Territories ( 30 % ) , Greece ( 34 % ) , Argentina ( 36 % ) , Lebanon ( 41 % ) , Tunisia ( 42 % ) . American 's own view of the United States was viewed at 84 % .", "20": "Covert actions ( edit ) Main articles : United States involvement in regime change and History of the Central Intelligence Agency See also : Clandestine HUMINT and covert action Covert United States involvement in regime change 1949 Syrian coup d'état 1949 -- 1953 Albania 1951 -- 56 Tibet 1953 Iranian coup d'état 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état 1956 -- 57 Syria crisis 1957 -- 58 Indonesian rebellion 1959 -- 2000 Cuba , assassination attempts on Fidel Castro 1959 Cambodian `` Bangkok Plot '' 1960 Congo coup 1961 Cuba , Bay of Pigs Invasion 1961 Cuba , Operation Mongoose 1961 Dominican Republic 1963 South Vietnamese coup 1964 Bolivian coup d'état 1964 Brazilian coup d'état 1966 Ghana coup d'état 1970 Cambodian coup 1971 Bolivian coup d'état 1970 -- 73 Chile 1979 -- 89 Afghanistan , Operation Cyclone 1981 -- 87 Nicaragua , Contras 1982 Chad 1991 Haiti 1996 Iraq coup attempt 2001 Afghanistan 2004 Haiti 2011 Libyan civil war 2011 -- 2017 Syria view talk United States foreign policy also includes covert actions to topple foreign governments that have been opposed to the United States . According to J. Dana Stuster , writing in Foreign Policy , there are seven `` confirmed cases '' where the U.S. -- acting principally through the Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ) , but sometimes with the support of other parts of the U.S. government , including the Navy and State Department -- covertly assisted in the overthrow of a foreign government : Iran in 1953 , Guatemala in 1954 , Congo in 1960 , the Dominican Republic in 1961 , South Vietnam in 1963 , Brazil in 1964 , and Chile in 1973 . Stuster states that this list excludes `` U.S. - supported insurgencies and failed assassination attempts '' such as those directed against Cuba 's Fidel Castro , as well as instances where U.S.", "21": "involvement has been alleged but not proven ( such as Syria in 1949 ) . In 1953 the CIA , working with the British government , initiated Operation Ajax against the Prime Minister of Iran Mohammad Mossadegh who had attempted to nationalize Iran 's oil , threatening the interests of the Anglo - Persian Oil Company . This had the effect of restoring and strengthening the authoritarian monarchical reign of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi . In 1957 , the CIA and Israeli Mossad aided the Iranian government in establishing its intelligence service , SAVAK , later blamed for the torture and execution of the regime 's opponents . A year later , in Operation PBSUCCESS , the CIA assisted the local military in toppling the democratically elected left - wing government of Jacobo Árbenz in Guatemala and installing the military dictator Carlos Castillo Armas . The United Fruit Company lobbied for Árbenz overthrow as his land reforms jeopardized their land holdings in Guatemala , and painted these reforms as a communist threat . The coup triggered a decades long civil war which claimed the lives of an estimated 200,000 people ( 42,275 individual cases have been documented ) , mostly through 626 massacres against the Maya population perpetrated by the U.S. - backed Guatemalan military . An independent Historical Clarification Commission found that U.S. corporations and government officials `` exercised pressure to maintain the country 's archaic and unjust socio - economic structure , '' and that the CIA backed illegal counterinsurgency operations . During the massacre of at least 500,000 alleged communists in 1960s Indonesia , U.S. government officials applauded the mass killings while providing covert assistance to the Indonesian military which helped facilitate them . This included the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta supplying Indonesian forces with lists of up to 5,000 names of suspected members of the Communist Party of Indonesia ( PKI ) , who were subsequently killed in the massacres . In 2001 , the CIA attempted to prevent the publication of the State Department volume Foreign Relations of the United States , 1964 -- 1968 , which documents the U.S. role in providing covert assistance to the Indonesian military for the express purpose of the extirpation of the PKI .", "22": "In July 2016 , an international panel of judges ruled the killings constitute crimes against humanity , and that the US , along with other Western governments , were complicit in these crimes . In 1970 , the CIA worked with coup - plotters in Chile in the attempted kidnapping of General René Schneider , who was targeted for refusing to participate in a military coup upon the election of Salvador Allende . Schneider was shot in the botched attempt and died three days later . The CIA later paid the group $35,000 for the failed kidnapping . Influencing foreign elections ( edit ) Main article : Foreign electoral intervention According to one peer - reviewed study , the U.S. intervened in 81 foreign elections between 1946 and 2000 , while the Soviet Union or Russia intervened in 36 . Human rights ( edit ) See also : Human rights violations by the CIA , List of authoritarian regimes supported by the United States , United States and state - sponsored terrorism , and United States and state terrorism Zairean dictator Mobutu Sese Seko and Richard Nixon in Washington , D.C. , October 1973 Since the 1970s , issues of human rights have become increasingly important in American foreign policy . Congress took the lead in the 1970s . Following the Vietnam War , the feeling that U.S. foreign policy had grown apart from traditional American values was seized upon by Senator Donald M. Fraser ( D , MI ) , leading the Subcommittee on International Organizations and Movements , in criticizing Republican Foreign Policy under the Nixon administration . In the early 1970s , Congress concluded the Vietnam War and passed the War Powers Act . As `` part of a growing assertiveness by Congress about many aspects of Foreign Policy , '' Human Rights concerns became a battleground between the Legislative and the Executive branches in the formulation of foreign policy . David Forsythe points to three specific , early examples of Congress interjecting its own thoughts on foreign policy : Subsection ( a ) of the International Financial Assistance Act of 1977 : ensured assistance through international financial institutions would be limited to countries `` other than those whose governments engage in a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights . ''", "23": "Section 116 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 , as amended in 1984 : reads in part , `` No assistance may be provided under this part to the government of any country which engages in a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights . '' Section 502B of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 , as amended in 1978 : `` No security assistance may be provided to any country the government of which engages in a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights . '' Barack Obama with King Salman of Saudi Arabia , January 2015 . According to AI , `` For too long , the USA has shied away from publicly confronting Saudi Arabia over its human rights record , largely turning a blind eye to a mounting catalogue of abuses . '' These measures were repeatedly used by Congress , with varying success , to affect U.S. foreign policy towards the inclusion of Human Rights concerns . Specific examples include El Salvador , Nicaragua , Guatemala and South Africa . The Executive ( from Nixon to Reagan ) argued that the Cold War required placing regional security in favor of U.S. interests over any behavioral concerns of national allies . Congress argued the opposite , in favor of distancing the United States from oppressive regimes . Nevertheless , according to historian Daniel Goldhagen , during the last two decades of the Cold War , the number of American client states practicing mass murder outnumbered those of the Soviet Union . John Henry Coatsworth , a historian of Latin America and the provost of Columbia University , suggests the number of repression victims in Latin America alone far surpassed that of the USSR and its East European satellites during the period 1960 to 1990 . W. John Green contends that the United States was an `` essential enabler '' of `` Latin America 's political murder habit , bringing out and allowing to flourish some of the region 's worst tendencies . '' On December 6 , 2011 , Obama instructed agencies to consider LGBT rights when issuing financial aid to foreign countries . He also criticized Russia 's law discriminating against gays , joining other western leaders in the boycott of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia . In June 2014 , a Chilean court ruled that the United States played a key role in the murders of Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi , both American citizens , shortly after the 1973 Chilean coup d'état .", "24": "War on drugs ( edit ) Main article : War on Drugs United States foreign policy is influenced by the efforts of the U.S. government to control imports of illicit drugs , including cocaine , heroin , methamphetamine , and cannabis . This is especially true in Latin America , a focus for the U.S. War on Drugs . Those efforts date back to at least 1880 , when the U.S. and China completed an agreement that prohibited the shipment of opium between the two countries . Over a century later , the Foreign Relations Authorization Act requires the President to identify the major drug transit or major illicit drug - producing countries . In September 2005 , the following countries were identified : Bahamas , Bolivia , Brazil , Burma , Colombia , Dominican Republic , Ecuador , Guatemala , Haiti , India , Jamaica , Laos , Mexico , Nigeria , Pakistan , Panama , Paraguay , Peru and Venezuela . Two of these , Burma and Venezuela are countries that the U.S. considers to have failed to adhere to their obligations under international counternarcotics agreements during the previous 12 months . Notably absent from the 2005 list were Afghanistan , the People 's Republic of China and Vietnam ; Canada was also omitted in spite of evidence that criminal groups there are increasingly involved in the production of MDMA destined for the United States and that large - scale cross-border trafficking of Canadian - grown cannabis continues . The U.S. believes that the Netherlands are successfully countering the production and flow of MDMA to the U.S. Criticism ( edit ) Main article : Criticism of American foreign policy Demonstration at Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin against the NSA surveillance program PRISM , June 2013 Critics from the left cite episodes that undercut leftist governments or showed support for Israel . Others cite human rights abuses and violations of international law . Critics have charged that the U.S. presidents have used democracy to justify military intervention abroad . Critics also point to declassified records which indicate that the CIA under Allen Dulles and the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover aggressively recruited more than 1,000 Nazis , including those responsible for war crimes , to use as spies and informants against the Soviet Union in the Cold War . The U.S.", "25": "has faced criticism for backing right - wing dictators that systematically violated human rights , such as Augusto Pinochet of Chile , Alfredo Stroessner of Paraguay , Efraín Ríos Montt of Guatemala , Jorge Rafael Videla of Argentina , Hissène Habré of Chad Yahya Khan of Pakistan and Suharto of Indonesia . Critics have also accused the United States of supporting Operation Condor , an international campaign of political assassination and state terror organized by right - wing military dictatorships in the Southern Cone of South America . Journalists and human rights organizations have been critical of US - led airstrikes and targeted killings by drones which have in some cases resulted in collateral damage of civilian populations . In early 2017 , the U.S. faced criticism from some scholars , activists and media outlets for dropping 26,171 bombs on seven different countries throughout 2016 : Syria , Iraq , Afghanistan , Libya , Yemen , Somalia and Pakistan . Studies have been devoted to the historical success rate of the U.S. in exporting democracy abroad . Some studies of American intervention have been pessimistic about the overall effectiveness of U.S. efforts to encourage democracy in foreign nations . Some scholars have generally agreed with international relations professor Abraham Lowenthal that U.S. attempts to export democracy have been `` negligible , often counterproductive , and only occasionally positive . '' Other studies find U.S. intervention has had mixed results , and another by Hermann and Kegley has found that military interventions have improved democracy in other countries . A 2013 global poll in 68 countries with 66,000 respondents by Win / Gallup found that the U.S. is perceived as the biggest threat to world peace . Support ( edit ) President George W. Bush and Slovakia 's Prime Minister Mikulas Dzurinda are greeted by a crowd of thousands gathered in Bratislava 's Hviezdoslavovo Square ( February 2005 ) . Regarding support for certain anti-Communist dictatorships during the Cold War , a response is that they were seen as a necessary evil , with the alternatives even worse Communist or fundamentalist dictatorships . David Schmitz says this policy did not serve U.S. interests .", "26": "Friendly tyrants resisted necessary reforms and destroyed the political center ( though not in South Korea ) , while the ' realist ' policy of coddling dictators brought a backlash among foreign populations with long memories . Many democracies have voluntary military ties with United States . See NATO , ANZUS , Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan , Mutual Defense Treaty with South Korea , and Major non-NATO ally . Those nations with military alliances with the U.S. can spend less on the military since they can count on U.S. protection . This may give a false impression that the U.S. is less peaceful than those nations . Research on the democratic peace theory has generally found that democracies , including the United States , have not made war on one another . There have been U.S. support for coups against some democracies , but for example Spencer R. Weart argues that part of the explanation was the perception , correct or not , that these states were turning into Communist dictatorships . Also important was the role of rarely transparent United States government agencies , who sometimes mislead or did not fully implement the decisions of elected civilian leaders . Empirical studies ( see democide ) have found that democracies , including the United States , have killed much fewer civilians than dictatorships . Media may be biased against the U.S. regarding reporting human rights violations . Studies have found that The New York Times coverage of worldwide human rights violations predominantly focuses on the human rights violations in nations where there is clear U.S. involvement , while having relatively little coverage of the human rights violations in other nations . For example , the bloodiest war in recent time , involving eight nations and killing millions of civilians , was the Second Congo War , which was almost completely ignored by the media . Niall Ferguson argues that the U.S. is incorrectly blamed for all the human rights violations in nations they have supported . He writes that it is generally agreed that Guatemala was the worst of the US - backed regimes during the Cold War . However , the U.S. can not credibly be blamed for all the 200,000 deaths during the long Guatemalan Civil War . The U.S. Intelligence Oversight Board writes that military aid was cut for long periods because of such violations , that the U.S.", "27": "helped stop a coup in 1993 , and that efforts were made to improve the conduct of the security services . Bahraini pro-democracy protesters killed by the U.S. - allied regime , February 2011 Today the U.S. states that democratic nations best support U.S. national interests . According to the U.S. State Department , `` Democracy is the one national interest that helps to secure all the others . Democratically governed nations are more likely to secure the peace , deter aggression , expand open markets , promote economic development , protect American citizens , combat international terrorism and crime , uphold human and worker rights , avoid humanitarian crises and refugee flows , improve the global environment , and protect human health . '' According to former U.S. President Bill Clinton , `` Ultimately , the best strategy to ensure our security and to build a durable peace is to support the advance of democracy elsewhere . Democracies do n't attack each other . '' In one view mentioned by the U.S. State Department , democracy is also good for business . Countries that embrace political reforms are also more likely to pursue economic reforms that improve the productivity of businesses . Accordingly , since the mid-1980s , under President Ronald Reagan , there has been an increase in levels of foreign direct investment going to emerging market democracies relative to countries that have not undertaken political reforms . Leaked cables in 2010 suggested that the `` dark shadow of terrorism still dominates the United States ' relations with the world '' . The United States officially maintains that it supports democracy and human rights through several tools Examples of these tools are as follows : A published yearly report by the State Department entitled `` Advancing Freedom and Democracy '' , issued in compliance with ADVANCE Democracy Act of 2007 ( earlier the report was known as `` Supporting Human Rights and Democracy : The U.S. Record '' and was issued in compliance with a 2002 law ) . A yearly published `` Country Reports on Human Rights Practices . '' In 2006 ( under President George W. Bush ) , the United States created a `` Human Rights Defenders Fund '' and `` Freedom Awards . '' The `` Human Rights and Democracy Achievement Award '' recognizes the exceptional achievement of officers of foreign affairs agencies posted abroad . The `` Ambassadorial Roundtable Series '' , created in 2006 , are informal discussions between newly confirmed U.S.", "28": "Ambassadors and human rights and democracy non-governmental organizations . The National Endowment for Democracy , a private non-profit created by Congress in 1983 ( and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan ) , which is mostly funded by the U.S. Government and gives cash grants to strengthen democratic institutions around the world . By country or region ( edit ) The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject . You may improve this article , discuss the issue on the talk page , or create a new article , as appropriate . ( November 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) It has been suggested that this section be merged into Foreign relations of the United States . ( Discuss ) Proposed since June 2016 . United Kingdom ( edit ) Main article : United Kingdom -- United States relations Further information : Special Relationship and Anglosphere Queen Elizabeth II welcomes President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama to Buckingham Palace on April 1 , 2009 . United States foreign policy affirms its alliance with the United Kingdom as its most important bilateral relationship in the world , evidenced by aligned political affairs between the White House and 10 Downing Street , as well as joint military operations carried out between the two nations . While both the United States and the United Kingdom maintain close relationships with many other nations around the world , the level of cooperation in military planning , execution of military operations , nuclear weapons technology , and intelligence sharing with each other has been described as `` unparalleled '' among major powers throughout the 20th and early 21st century . The United States and Britain share the world 's largest foreign direct investment partnership . American investment in the United Kingdom reached $255.4 billion in 2002 , while British direct investment in the United States totaled $283.3 billion . Canada ( edit ) Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper ( right ) and President Obama ( left ) meet in Ottawa in February 2009 Main article : Canada -- United States relations The bilateral relationship between Canada and the United States is of notable importance to both countries . About 75 -- 85 % of Canadian trade is with the United States , and Canada is the United States ' largest trading partner and chief supplier of oil . While there are disputed issues between the two nations , relations are close and the two countries share the `` world 's longest undefended border . ''", "29": "The border was demilitarized after the War of 1812 and , apart from minor raids , has remained peaceful . Military collaboration began during World War II and continued throughout the Cold War on both a bilateral basis and a multilateral relationship through NATO . A high volume of trade and migration between the United States and Canada since the 1850s has generated closer ties , despite continued Canadian fears of being culturally overwhelmed by its neighbor , which is nine times larger in terms of population and eleven times larger in terms of economy . The two economies have increasingly merged since the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ) of 1994 , which also includes Mexico . Mexico ( edit ) Main article : Mexico -- United States relations The United States shares a unique and often complex relationship with Mexico . A history of armed conflict goes back to the Texas Revolution in the 1830s , the Mexican -- American War in the 1840s , and an American invasion in the 1910s . Important treaties include the Gadsden Purchase , and multilaterally with Canada , the North American Free Trade Agreement . The central issue in recent years has been illegal immigration , followed by illegal gun sales ( from the U.S. ) , drug smuggling ( to the U.S. ) and escalating drug cartel violence just south of the U.S. - Mexico border . Australia ( edit ) Main article : Australia -- United States relations Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd talks with United States President Barack Obama in Washington The United States ' relationship with Australia is a very close one , with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stating that `` America does n't have a better friend in the world than Australia '' . The relationship is formalized by the ANZUS treaty and the Australia -- United States Free Trade Agreement . The two countries have a shared history , both have previously been British Colonies and many Americans flocked to the Australian goldfields in the 19th century . At a strategic level , the relationship really came to prominence in World War II , when the two nations worked extremely closely in the Pacific War against Japan , with General Douglas MacArthur undertaking his role as Supreme Allied Commander based in Australia , effectively having Australian troops and resources under his command . During this period , the cultural interaction between Australia and the U.S. were elevated to a higher level as over 1 million U.S.", "30": "military personnel moved through Australia during the course of the war . The relationship continued to evolve throughout the second half of the 20th Century , and today now involves strong relationships at the executive and mid levels of government and the military , leading Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs , Kurt M. Campbell to declare that `` in the last ten years , ( Australia ) has ascended to one of the closest one or two allies ( of the U.S. ) on the planet '' . Middle East ( edit ) Main article : United States foreign policy in the Middle East The United States has many important allies in the Greater Middle East region . These allies are Turkey , Saudi Arabia , Morocco , Jordan , Afghanistan , Israel , Egypt , Kuwait , Bahrain and Qatar . Israel and Egypt are leading recipients of United States foreign aid , receiving $2.775 billion and 1.75 billion in 2010 . Turkey is an ally of the United States through its membership in NATO , while all of the other countries except Saudi Arabia and Qatar are major non-NATO allies . The United States toppled the government of Saddam Hussein during the 2003 invasion of Iraq . Turkey is host to approximately 90 B61 nuclear bombs at Incirlik Air Base . Other allies include Qatar , where 3,500 U.S. troops are based , and Bahrain , where the United States Navy maintains NSA Bahrain , home of NAVCENT and the Fifth Fleet . Japan ( edit ) Main article : Japan -- United States relations The relationship began in the 1850s as the U.S. was a major factor in forcing Japan to resume contacts with the outer world beyond a very restricted role . In the late 19th century the Japanese sent many delegations to Europe , and some to the U.S. , to discover and copy the latest technology and thereby modernize Japan very rapidly and allow it to build its own empire . There was some friction over control of Hawaii and the Philippines , but Japan stood aside as the U.S. annexed those lands in 1898 . Likewise the U.S. did not object when Japan took control of Korea . The two nations cooperated with the European powers in suppressing the Boxer Rebellion in China in 1900 , but the U.S.", "31": "was increasingly troubled about Japan 's denial of the Open Door Policy that would ensure that all nations could do business with China on an equal basis . President Theodore Roosevelt admired Japan 's strength as it defeated a major European power , Russia . He brokered an end to the war between Russia and Japan in 1905 -- 6 . Anti-Japanese sentiment ( especially on the West Coast ) soured relations in the 1907 -- 24 era . In the 1930s the U.S. protested vehemently against Japan 's seizure of Manchuria ( 1931 ) , its war against China ( 1937 -- 45 ) , and its seizure of Indochina ( Vietnam ) 1940 -- 41 . American sympathies were with China and Japan rejected increasingly angry American demands that Japan pull out of China . The two nations fought an all - out war 1941 -- 45 ; the U.S. won a total victory , with heavy bombing ( including two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ) that devastated Japan 's 50 largest industrial cities . The American army under Douglas MacArthur occupied and ruled Japan , 1945 -- 51 , with the successful goal of sponsoring a peaceful , prosperous and democratic nation . In 1951 , the U.S. and Japan signed Treaty of San Francisco and Security Treaty Between the United States and Japan , subsequently revised as Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan in 1960 , relations since then have been excellent . The United States considers Japan to be one of its closest allies , and it is both a Major Non-NATO ally and NATO contact country . The United States has several military bases in Japan including Yokosuka , which harbors the U.S. 7th Fleet . The JSDF , or Japanese Self Defense Force , cross train with the U.S. Military , often providing auxiliary security and conducting war games . When the U.S. President Barack Obama met with Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso in 2009 , he said the relationship with Japan as the `` cornerstone of security in East Asia '' . After the several years of critical moment during Japan 's Democratic Party administration , President Obama and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reconfirmed the importance of its alliance and currently the U.S. and Japan negotiating to participate Trans - Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership .", "32": "South Korea ( edit ) Main article : South Korea -- United States relations South Korea -- United States relations have been most extensive since 1945 , when the United States helped establish capitalism in South Korea and led the UN-sponsored Korean War against North Korea and China ( 1950 -- 53 ) . Stimulated by heavy American aid , South Korea 's rapid economic growth , democratization and modernization greatly reduced its U.S. dependency . Large numbers of U.S. forces remain in Korea . At the 2009 G - 20 London summit , U.S. President Barack Obama called South Korea `` one of America 's closest allies and greatest friends . '' China ( edit ) Main article : China - United States relations President Barack Obama addresses the opening session of the first U.S. -- China Strategic and Economic Dialogue . American relations with the People 's Republic of China are quite strong , yet complex . A great amount of trade between the two countries necessitates positive political relations , although occasional disagreements over tariffs , currency exchange rates and the Political status of Taiwan do occur . Nevertheless , the United States and China have an extremely extensive partnership . The U.S. criticizes China on human rights issues and in recent years , China has criticized the United States on human rights in return . Taiwan ( edit ) Main article : Republic of China -- United States relations Taiwan ( officially the Republic of China ) , does not have official diplomatic relations with America and no longer receives diplomatic recognition from the State Department of the United States , but it conducts unofficial diplomatic relations through its de facto embassy , commonly known as the `` American Institute in Taiwan ( AIT ) '' , and is considered to be a strong Asian ally and supporter of the United States . ASEAN ( edit ) Association of Southeast Asian Nations ( ASEAN ) is an important partner for United States in both economic and geostrategic aspects . ASEAN 's geostrategic importance stems from many factors , including : the strategic location of member countries , the large shares of global trade that pass through regional waters , and the alliances and partnerships which the United States shares with ASEAN member states . In July 2009 , the United States signed ASEAN 's Treaty of Amity and Cooperation , which establishes guiding principles intended to build confidence among its signatories with the aim of maintaining regional peace and stability .", "33": "Trade flows are robust and increasing between America and the ASEAN region . Indonesia ( edit ) Main article : Indonesia -- United States relations As the largest ASEAN member , Indonesia has played an active and prominent role in developing the organization . For United States , Indonesia is important for dealing with certain issues ; such as terrorism , democracy , and how United States project its relations with Islamic world , since Indonesia has the world 's largest Islamic population , and one that honors and respects religious diversity . The U.S. eyes Indonesia as a potential strategic ally in Southeast Asia . During his stately visit to Indonesia , U.S. President Barack Obama has held up Indonesia as an example of how a developing nation can embrace democracy and diversity . Malaysia ( edit ) Main article : Malaysia -- United States relations Despite increasingly strained relations under the Mahathir Mohamad government , ties have been thawed under Najib Razak 's administration . Economic ties are particularly robust , with the United States being Malaysia 's largest trading partner and Malaysia is the tenth - largest trading partner of the U.S. Annual two - way trade amounts to $49 billion . The United States and Malaysia launched negotiations for a bilateral free trade agreement ( FTA ) in June 2006 . The United States and Malaysia enjoy strong security cooperation . Malaysia hosts the Southeast Asia Regional Center for Counterterrorism ( SEARCCT ) , where over 2000 officials from various countries have received training . The United States is among the foreign countries that has collaborated with the center in conducting capacity building programmes . The U.S. and Malaysia share a strong military - to - military relationship with numerous exchanges , training , joint exercises , and visits . Myanmar ( edit ) Main article : Burma -- United States relations Bilateral ties have generally been strained but are slowly improving . The United States has placed broad sanctions on Burma because of the military crackdown in 1988 and the military regime 's refusal to honour the election results of the 1990 People 's Assembly election . Similarly , the European Union has placed embargoes on Burma , including an arms embargo , cessation of trade preferences , and suspension of all aid with the exception of humanitarian aid .", "34": "US and European government sanctions against the military government , alongside boycotts and other types direct pressure on corporations by western supporters of the Burmese democracy movement , have resulted in the withdrawal from Burma of most U.S. and many European companies . However , several Western companies remain due to loopholes in the sanctions . Asian corporations have generally remained willing to continue investing in Myanmar and to initiate new investments , particularly in natural resource extraction . Ongoing reforms have improved relations between Burma and the United States . Philippines ( edit ) Main article : Philippines -- United States relations The United States ruled the Philippines from 1898 to 1946 . The Spanish government ceded the Philippines to the United States in the 1898 Treaty of Paris that ended the Spanish -- American War . The United States finally recognized Philippine independence on July 4 , 1946 in the Treaty of Manila . July 4 was observed in the Philippines as Independence Day until August 4 , 1964 when , upon the advice of historians and the urging of nationalists , President Diosdado Macapagal signed into law Republic Act No. 4166 designating June 12 as the country 's Independence Day . Since 2003 the U.S. has designated the Philippines as a Major Non-NATO Ally . Thailand ( edit ) Main article : Thailand -- United States relations Thailand and the U.S. are both former Southeast Asia Treaty Organization ( SEATO ) members , being close partners throughout the Cold War , and are still close allies . Since 2003 , the U.S. has designated Thailand as a Major Non-NATO Ally . Vietnam ( edit ) Main article : United States -- Vietnam relations United States involved in Vietnam War in 1955 to 1975 . In 1995 , President Bill Clinton announced the formal normalization of diplomatic relations with Vietnam . Today , the U.S. eyes Vietnam as a potential strategic ally in Southeast Asia . Eastern Europe ( edit ) President Barack Obama talks with Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk of Ukraine at the conclusion of their bilateral meeting in the Oval Office , March 12 , 2014 . U.S. Marines greet local Albanian boys in Kosovo on June 25 , 1999 American relations with Eastern Europe are influenced by the legacy of the Cold War .", "35": "Since the collapse of the Soviet Union , former Communist - bloc states in Europe have gradually transitioned to democracy and capitalism . Many have also joined the European Union and NATO , strengthening economic ties with the broader Western world and gaining the military protection of the United States via the North Atlantic Treaty . Kosovo ( edit ) Main article : Kosovo -- United States relations The UN Security Council divided on the question of Kosovo 's declaration of independence . Kosovo declared its independence on February 17 , 2008 , whilst Serbia objected that Kosovo is part of its territory . Of the five members with veto power in the UN Security Council , the US , UK , and France recognized the declaration of independence , and China has expressed concern , while Russia considers it illegal . `` In its declaration of independence , Kosovo committed itself to the highest standards of democracy , including freedom and tolerance and justice for citizens of all ethnic backgrounds '' , President George W. Bush said on February 19 , 2008 .

Louisiana Purchase Vente de la Louisiane Expansion of the United States ← 1803 -- 1804 → → The modern United States , with Louisiana Purchase overlay History Established July 4 , 1803 Disestablished October 1 , 1804 Today part of United States Canada The Louisiana Purchase ( French : Vente de la Louisiane `` Sale of Louisiana '' ) was the acquisition of the Louisiana territory ( 828,000 square miles or 2.14 million km2 ) by the United States from France in 1803 . The U.S. paid fifty million francs ( $11,250,000 / € 9,100,000 ) and a cancellation of debts worth eighteen million francs ( $3,750,000 ) for a total of sixty - eight million francs ( $15 million , equivalent to $300 million in 2016 ) . The Louisiana territory included land from fifteen present U.S. states and two Canadian provinces . The territory contained land that forms Arkansas , Missouri , Iowa , Oklahoma , Kansas , and Nebraska ; the portion of Minnesota west of the Mississippi River ; a large portion of North Dakota ; a large portion of South Dakota ; the northeastern section of New Mexico ; the northern portion of Texas ; the area of Montana , Wyoming , and Colorado east of the Continental Divide ; Louisiana west of the Mississippi River ( plus New Orleans ) ; and small portions of land within the present Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan . Its non-native population was around 60,000 inhabitants , of whom half were African slaves . The Kingdom of France controlled the Louisiana territory from 1699 until it was ceded to Spain in 1762 . In 1800 , Napoleon , then the First Consul of the French Republic , hoping to re-establish an empire in North America , regained ownership of Louisiana . However , France 's failure to put down the revolt in Saint - Domingue , coupled with the prospect of renewed warfare with the United Kingdom , prompted Napoleon to sell Louisiana to the United States to fund his military . The Americans originally sought to purchase only the port city of New Orleans and its adjacent coastal lands , but quickly accepted the bargain .", "1": "The Louisiana Purchase occurred during the term of the third President of the United States , Thomas Jefferson . Before the purchase was finalized , the decision faced Federalist Party opposition ; they argued that it was unconstitutional to acquire any territory . Jefferson agreed that the U.S. Constitution did not contain explicit provisions for acquiring territory , but he asserted that his constitutional power to negotiate treaties was sufficient .

It was controlled by the French , who had a few small settlements along the Mississippi and other main rivers . France ceded the territory to Spain in the secret Treaty of Fontainebleau ( 1762 ) . Following French defeat in the Seven Years ' War , Spain gained control of the territory west of the Mississippi and the British the territory to the east of the river . Following the establishment of the United States , the Americans controlled the area east of the Mississippi and north of New Orleans . The main issue for the Americans was free transit of the Mississippi to the sea . As the lands were being gradually settled by a few American migrants , many Americans , including Jefferson , assumed that the territory would be acquired `` piece by piece . '' The risk of another power taking it from a weakened Spain made a `` profound reconsideration '' of this policy necessary . New Orleans was already important for shipping agricultural goods to and from the areas of the United States west of the Appalachian Mountains . Pinckney 's Treaty , signed with Spain on October 27 , 1795 , gave American merchants `` right of deposit '' in New Orleans , granting them use of the port to store goods for export . Americans used this right to transport products such as flour , tobacco , pork , bacon , lard , feathers , cider , butter , and cheese .", "2": "The treaty also recognized American rights to navigate the entire Mississippi , which had become vital to the growing trade of the western territories . In 1798 , Spain revoked the treaty allowing American use of New Orleans , greatly upsetting Americans . In 1801 , Spanish Governor Don Juan Manuel de Salcedo took over from the Marquess of Casa Calvo , and restored the American right to deposit goods . However , in 1800 Spain had ceded the Louisiana territory back to France as part of Napoleon 's secret Third Treaty of San Ildefonso . The territory nominally remained under Spanish control , until a transfer of power to France on 30 November 1803 , just three weeks before the formal cession of the territory to the United States on 20 December 1803 . A further ceremony was held in St. Louis , Upper Louisiana regarding the New Orleans formalities . The 9 -- 10 March 1804 event is remembered as Three Flags Day . James Monroe and Robert R. Livingston had traveled to Paris to negotiate the purchase of New Orleans in January 1803 . Their instructions were to negotiate or purchase control of New Orleans and its environs ; they did not anticipate the much larger acquisition which would follow . The Louisiana Purchase was by far the largest territorial gain in U.S. history . Stretching from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains , the purchase doubled the size of the United States . Before 1803 , Louisiana had been under Spanish control for forty years . Although Spain aided the rebels in the American Revolutionary War , the Spanish did n't want the Americans to settle in their territory . Although the purchase was thought of by some as unjust and unconstitutional , Jefferson determined that his constitutional power to negotiate treaties allowed the purchase of what became fifteen states . In hindsight , the Louisiana Purchase could be considered one of his greatest contributions to the United States . On April 18 , 1802 , Jefferson penned a letter to United States Ambassador to France Robert Livingston . It was an intentional exhortation to make this supposedly mild diplomat strongly warn the French of their perilous course . The letter began : The cession of Louisiana and the Floridas by Spain to France works most sorely on the U.S. On this subject the Secretary of State has written to you fully .", "3": "Yet I can not forbear recurring to it personally , so deep is the impression it makes in my mind . It completely reverses all the political relations of the U.S. and will form a new epoch in our political course . Of all nations of any consideration France is the one which hitherto has offered the fewest points on which we could have any conflict of right , and the most points of a communion of interests . From these causes we have ever looked to her as our natural friend , as one with which we never could have an occasion of difference . Her growth therefore we viewed as our own , her misfortunes ours . There is on the globe one single spot , the possessor of which is our natural and habitual enemy . It is New Orleans , through which the produce of three - eighths of our territory must pass to market , and from its fertility it will ere long yield more than half of our whole produce and contain more than half our inhabitants . France placing herself in that door assumes to us the attitude of defiance . Spain might have retained it quietly for years . Her pacific dispositions , her feeble state , would induce her to increase our facilities there , so that her possession of the place would be hardly felt by us , and it would not perhaps be very long before some circumstance might arise which might make the cession of it to us the price of something of more worth to her . Not so can it ever be in the hands of France . The impetuosity of her temper , the energy and restlessness of her character , placed in a point of eternal friction with us ... Jefferson 's letter went on with the same heat to a much quoted passage about `` the day that France takes possession of New Orleans . '' Not only did he say that day would be a low point in France 's history , for it would seal America 's marriage with the British fleet and nation , but he added , astonishingly , that it would start a massive shipbuilding program . Negotiation While the transfer of the territory by Spain back to France in 1800 went largely unnoticed , fear of an eventual French invasion spread nationwide when , in 1801 , Napoleon sent a military force to secure New Orleans . Southerners feared that Napoleon would free all the slaves in Louisiana , which could trigger slave uprisings elsewhere .", "4": "Though Jefferson urged moderation , Federalists sought to use this against Jefferson and called for hostilities against France . Undercutting them , Jefferson took up the banner and threatened an alliance with the United Kingdom , although relations were uneasy in that direction . In 1801 Jefferson supported France in its plan to take back Saint - Domingue ( present - day Haiti ) , which was then under control of Toussaint Louverture after a slave rebellion . Jefferson sent Livingston to Paris in 1801 after discovering the transfer of Louisiana from Spain to France under the Third Treaty of San Ildefonso . Livingston was authorized to purchase New Orleans . In January 1802 , France sent General Charles Leclerc to Saint - Domingue ( present - day Haiti ) to re-establish slavery , which had been abolished by the constitution of the French Republic of 1795 , as well as to reduce the rights of free people of color and take back control of the island from Toussaint Louverture . Louverture had fended off invasions of St. Domingue by the Spanish and British empires , but had also begun to consolidate power for himself on the island . Before the Revolution , France had derived enormous wealth from St. Domingue at the cost of the lives and freedom of the slaves . Napoleon wanted its revenues and productivity for France restored . Alarmed over the French actions and its intention to re-establish an empire in North America , Jefferson declared neutrality in relation to the Caribbean , refusing credit and other assistance to the French , but allowing war contraband to get through to the rebels to prevent France from regaining a foothold . In November 1803 , France withdrew its 7,000 surviving troops from Saint - Domingue ( more than two - thirds of its troops died there ) and gave up its ambitions in the Western Hemisphere . In 1804 Haiti declared its independence ; but , fearing a slave revolt at home , Jefferson and Congress refused to recognize the new republic , the second in the Western Hemisphere , and imposed a trade embargo against it . This , together with later claims by France to reconquer Haiti , encouraged by the United Kingdom , made it more difficult for Haiti to recover after ten years of wars . In 1803 , Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours , a French nobleman , began to help negotiate with France at the request of Jefferson .", "5": "Du Pont was living in the United States at the time and had close ties to Jefferson as well as the prominent politicians in France . He engaged in back - channel diplomacy with Napoleon on Jefferson 's behalf during a visit to France and originated the idea of the much larger Louisiana Purchase as a way to defuse potential conflict between the United States and Napoleon over North America . Jefferson disliked the idea of purchasing Louisiana from France , as that could imply that France had a right to be in Louisiana . Jefferson had concerns that a U.S. president did not have the constitutional authority to make such a deal . He also thought that to do so would erode states ' rights by increasing federal executive power . On the other hand , he was aware of the potential threat that France could be in that region and was prepared to go to war to prevent a strong French presence there . Throughout this time , Jefferson had up - to - date intelligence on Napoleon 's military activities and intentions in North America . Part of his evolving strategy involved giving du Pont some information that was withheld from Livingston . He also gave intentionally conflicting instructions to the two . Desperate to avoid possible war with France , Jefferson sent James Monroe to Paris in 1803 to negotiate a settlement , with instructions to go to London to negotiate an alliance if the talks in Paris failed . Spain procrastinated until late 1802 in executing the treaty to transfer Louisiana to France , which allowed American hostility to build . Also , Spain 's refusal to cede Florida to France meant that Louisiana would be indefensible . Monroe had been formally expelled from France on his last diplomatic mission , and the choice to send him again conveyed a sense of seriousness . Napoleon needed peace with the United Kingdom to implement the Treaty of San Ildefonso and take possession of Louisiana . Otherwise , Louisiana would be an easy prey for the UK or even for the United States . But in early 1803 , continuing war between France and the UK seemed unavoidable . On March 11 , 1803 , Napoleon began preparing to invade the UK . As Napoleon had failed to re-enslave the emancipated population of Haiti , he abandoned his plans to rebuild France 's New World empire . Without sufficient revenues from sugar colonies in the Caribbean , Louisiana had little value to him .", "6": "Spain had not yet completed the transfer of Louisiana to France , and war between France and the UK was imminent . Out of anger towards Spain and the unique opportunity to sell something that was useless and not truly his yet , Napoleon decided to sell the entire territory . Although the foreign minister Talleyrand opposed the plan , on April 10 , 1803 , Napoleon told the Treasury Minister François de Barbé - Marbois that he was considering selling the entire Louisiana Territory to the United States . On April 11 , 1803 , just days before Monroe 's arrival , Barbé - Marbois offered Livingston all of Louisiana for $15 million , ( equivalent to about $300 million in 2016 dollars , ) which averages to less than three cents per acre ( 7 ¢ / ha ) . The American representatives were prepared to pay up to $10 million for New Orleans and its environs , but were dumbfounded when the vastly larger territory was offered for $15 million . Jefferson had authorized Livingston only to purchase New Orleans . However , Livingston was certain that the United States would accept the offer . The Americans thought that Napoleon might withdraw the offer at any time , preventing the United States from acquiring New Orleans , so they agreed and signed the Louisiana Purchase Treaty on April 30 , 1803 . On July 4 , 1803 , the treaty reached Washington , D.C. . The Louisiana Territory was vast , stretching from the Gulf of Mexico in the south to Rupert 's Land in the north , and from the Mississippi River in the east to the Rocky Mountains in the west . Acquiring the territory would double the size of the United States , at a sum of less than 3 cents per acre . Domestic opposition and constitutionality The original treaty of the Louisiana Purchase Henry Adams and other historians have argued that Jefferson acted hypocritically with the Louisiana Purchase , due to his position as a strict constructionist regarding the Constitution since he stretched the intent of that document to justify his purchase . This argument goes as follows : The American purchase of the Louisiana territory was not accomplished without domestic opposition . Jefferson 's philosophical consistency was in question because of his strict interpretation of the Constitution . Many people believed that he and others , including James Madison , were doing something they surely would have argued against with Alexander Hamilton .", "7": "The Federalists strongly opposed the purchase , favoring close relations with Britain over closer ties to Napoleon , and were concerned that the United States had paid a large sum of money just to declare war on Spain . Both Federalists and Jeffersonians were concerned over the purchase 's constitutionality . Many members of the House of Representatives opposed the purchase . Majority Leader John Randolph led the opposition . The House called for a vote to deny the request for the purchase , but it failed by two votes , 59 -- 57 . The Federalists even tried to prove the land belonged to Spain , not France , but available records proved otherwise . The Federalists also feared that the power of the Atlantic seaboard states would be threatened by the new citizens in the West , whose political and economic priorities were bound to conflict with those of the merchants and bankers of New England . There was also concern that an increase in the number of slave - holding states created out of the new territory would exacerbate divisions between North and South as well . A group of Northern Federalists led by Senator Timothy Pickering of Massachusetts went so far as to explore the idea of a separate northern confederacy . Another concern was whether it was proper to grant citizenship to the French , Spanish , and free black people living in New Orleans , as the treaty would dictate . Critics in Congress worried whether these `` foreigners '' , unacquainted with democracy , could or should become citizens . Spain protested the transfer on two grounds : First , France had previously promised in a note not to alienate Louisiana to a third party and second , France had not fulfilled the Third Treaty of San Ildefonso by having the King of Etruria recognized by all European powers . The French government replied that these objections were baseless since the promise not to alienate Louisiana was not in the treaty of San Ildefonso itself and therefore had no legal force , and the Spanish government had ordered Louisiana to be transferred in October 1802 despite knowing for months that Britain had not recognized the King of Etruria in the Treaty of Amiens .", "8": "Transfer of Louisiana by Ford P. Kaiser for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition ( 1904 ) Henry Adams claimed `` The sale of Louisiana to the United States was trebly invalid ; if it were French property , Bonaparte could not constitutionally alienate it without the consent of the French Chambers ; if it were Spanish property , he could not alienate it at all ; if Spain had a right of reclamation , his sale was worthless . '' The sale of course was not `` worthless '' -- the U.S. actually did take possession . Furthermore , the Spanish prime minister had authorized the U.S. to negotiate with the French government `` the acquisition of territories which may suit their interests . '' Spain turned the territory over to France in a ceremony in New Orleans on November 30 , a month before France turned it over to American officials . Other historians counter the above arguments regarding Jefferson 's alleged hypocrisy by asserting that countries change their borders in two ways : ( 1 ) conquest , or ( 2 ) an agreement between nations , otherwise known as a treaty . The Louisiana Purchase was the latter , a treaty . The Constitution specifically grants the president the power to negotiate treaties ( Art . II , Sec. 2 ) , which is just what Jefferson did . Jefferson 's Secretary of State , James Madison ( the `` Father of the Constitution '' ) , assured Jefferson that the Louisiana Purchase was well within even the strictest interpretation of the Constitution . Treasury Secretary Albert Gallatin added that since the power to negotiate treaties was specifically granted to the president , the only way extending the country 's territory by treaty could not be a presidential power would be if it were specifically excluded by the Constitution ( which it was not ) . Jefferson , as a strict constructionist , was right to be concerned about staying within the bounds of the Constitution , but felt the power of these arguments and was willing to `` acquiesce with satisfaction '' if the Congress approved the treaty . The Senate quickly ratified the treaty , and the House , with equal alacrity , authorized the required funding , as the Constitution specifies . The opposition of New England Federalists to the Louisiana Purchase was primarily economic self - interest , not any legitimate concern over constitutionality or whether France indeed owned Louisiana or was required to sell it back to Spain should it desire to dispose of the territory .", "9": "The Northerners were not enthusiastic about Western farmers gaining another outlet for their crops that did not require the use of New England ports . Also , many Federalists were speculators in lands in upstate New York and New England and were hoping to sell these lands to farmers , who might go west instead , if the Louisiana Purchase went through . They also feared that this would lead to Western states being formed , which would likely be Republican , and dilute the political power of New England Federalists . When Spain later objected to the United States purchasing Louisiana from France , Madison responded that America had first approached Spain about purchasing the property , but had been told by Spain itself that America would have to treat with France for the territory . Treaty signing Issue of 1953 , commemorating the 150th Anniversary of signing The Louisiana Purchase Treaty was signed on 30 April by Robert Livingston , James Monroe , and Barbé Marbois in Paris . Jefferson announced the treaty to the American people on July 4 . After the signing of the Louisiana Purchase agreement in 1803 , Livingston made this famous statement , `` We have lived long , but this is the noblest work of our whole lives ... From this day the United States take their place among the powers of the first rank . '' The United States Senate advised and consented to ratification of the treaty with a vote of twenty - four to seven on October 20 . The Senators who voted against the treaty were : Simeon Olcott and William Plumer of New Hampshire , William Wells and Samuel White of Delaware , James Hillhouse and Uriah Tracy of Connecticut , and Timothy Pickering of Massachusetts . On the following day , October 21 , 1803 , the Senate authorized Jefferson to take possession of the territory and establish a temporary military government . In legislation enacted on October 31 , Congress made temporary provisions for local civil government to continue as it had under French and Spanish rule and authorized the President to use military forces to maintain order . Plans were also set forth for several missions to explore and chart the territory , the most famous being the Lewis and Clark Expedition . A timeline of legislation can be found at the Library of Congress : American Memory : The Louisiana Purchase Legislative Timeline -- 1803 - 1804 .", "10": "Formal transfers and initial organization Flag raising in the Place d'Armes of New Orleans , marking the transfer of sovereignty over French Louisiana to the United States , December 20 , 1803 , as depicted by Thure de Thulstrup France turned over New Orleans , the historic colonial capital , on December 20 , 1803 , at the Cabildo , with a flag - raising ceremony in the Plaza de Armas , now Jackson Square . Just three weeks earlier , on November 30 , 1803 , Spanish officials had formally conveyed the colonial lands and their administration to France . On March 9 and 10 , 1804 , another ceremony , commemorated as Three Flags Day , was conducted in St. Louis , to transfer ownership of Upper Louisiana from Spain to the French First Republic , and then from France to the United States . From March 10 to September 30 , 1804 , Upper Louisiana was supervised as a military district , under Commandant Amos Stoddard . Effective October 1 , 1804 , the purchased territory was organized into the Territory of Orleans ( most of which would become the state of Louisiana ) and the District of Louisiana , which was temporarily under control of the governor and judicial system of the Indiana Territory . The following year , the District of Louisiana was renamed the Territory of Louisiana , aka Louisiana Territory ( 1805 -- 1812 ) . New Orleans was the administrative capital of the Orleans Territory , and St. Louis was the capital of the Louisiana Territory . Boundaries A dispute soon arose between Spain and the United States regarding the extent of Louisiana . The territory 's boundaries had not been defined in the 1762 Treaty of Fontainebleau that ceded it from France to Spain , nor in the 1801 Third Treaty of San Ildefonso ceding it back to France , nor the 1803 Louisiana Purchase agreement ceding it to the United States . The United States claimed Louisiana included the entire western portion of the Mississippi River drainage basin to the crest of the Rocky Mountains and land extending southeast to the Rio Grande and West Florida . Spain insisted that Louisiana comprised no more than the western bank of the Mississippi River and the cities of New Orleans and St. Louis . The dispute was ultimately resolved by the Adams -- Onís Treaty of 1819 , with the United States gaining most of what it had claimed in the west .", "11": "The Purchase was one of several territorial additions to the U.S. The relatively narrow Louisiana of New Spain had been a special province under the jurisdiction of the Captaincy General of Cuba while the vast region to the west was in 1803 still considered part of the Commandancy General of the Provincias Internas . Louisiana had never been considered one of New Spain 's internal provinces . If the territory included all the tributaries of the Mississippi on its western bank , the northern reaches of the Purchase extended into the equally ill - defined British possession -- Rupert 's Land of British North America , now part of Canada . The Purchase originally extended just beyond the 50th parallel . However , the territory north of the 49th parallel ( including the Milk River and Poplar River watersheds ) was ceded to the UK in exchange for parts of the Red River Basin south of 49th parallel in the Anglo - American Convention of 1818 . The eastern boundary of the Louisiana purchase was the Mississippi River , from its source to the 31st parallel , though the source of the Mississippi was , at the time , unknown . The eastern boundary below the 31st parallel was unclear . The U.S. claimed the land as far as the Perdido River , and Spain claimed that the border of its Florida Colony remained the Mississippi River . In early 1804 , Congress passed the Mobile Act , which recognized West Florida as part of the United States . The Adams -- Onís Treaty with Spain ( 1819 ) resolved the issue upon ratification in 1821 . Today , the 31st parallel is the northern boundary of the western half of the Florida Panhandle , and the Perdido is the western boundary of Florida . Because the western boundary was contested at the time of the Purchase , President Jefferson immediately began to organize three missions to explore and map the new territory . All three started from the Mississippi River . The Lewis and Clark Expedition ( 1804 ) traveled up the Missouri River ; the Red River Expedition ( 1806 ) explored the Red River basin ; the Pike Expedition ( 1806 ) also started up the Missouri , but turned south to explore the Arkansas River watershed .", "12": "The maps and journals of the explorers helped to define the boundaries during the negotiations leading to the Adams -- Onís Treaty , which set the western boundary as follows : north up the Sabine River from the Gulf of Mexico to its intersection with the 32nd parallel , due north to the Red River , up the Red River to the 100th meridian , north to the Arkansas River , up the Arkansas River to its headwaters , due north to the 42nd parallel and due west to its previous boundary . Slavery See also : History of slavery in Louisiana , History of slavery in Missouri , and Slavery in the United States Governing the Louisiana Territory was more difficult than acquiring it . Its European peoples , of ethnic French , Spanish and Mexican descent , were largely Catholic ; in addition , there was a large population of enslaved Africans made up of a high proportion of recent arrivals , as Spain had continued the international slave trade . This was particularly true in the area of the present - day state of Louisiana , which also contained a large number of free people of color . Both present - day Arkansas and Missouri already had some slaveholders in the early 19th century . During this period , south Louisiana received an influx of French - speaking refugee planters , who were permitted to bring their slaves with them , and other refugees fleeing the large slave revolt in Saint - Domingue , today 's Haiti . Many Southern slaveholders feared that acquisition of the new territory might inspire American - held slaves to follow the example of those in Saint - Domingue and revolt . They wanted the US government to establish laws allowing slavery in the newly acquired territory so they could be supported in taking their slaves there to undertake new agricultural enterprises , as well as to reduce the threat of future slave rebellions . The Louisiana Territory was broken into smaller portions for administration , and the territories passed slavery laws similar to those in the southern states but incorporating provisions from the preceding French and Spanish rule ( for instance , Spain had prohibited slavery of Native Americans in 1769 , but some slaves of mixed African - Native American descent were still being held in St. Louis in Upper Louisiana when the U.S. took over ) . In a freedom suit that went from Missouri to the US Supreme Court , slavery of Native Americans was finally ended in 1836 . The institutionalization of slavery under U.S.", "13": "law in the Louisiana Territory contributed to the American Civil War a half century later . As states organized within the territory , the status of slavery in each state became a matter of contention in Congress , as southern states wanted slavery extended to the west , and northern states just as strongly opposed new states being admitted as `` slave states . '' The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was a temporary solution . Asserting U.S. possession Plan of Fort Madison , built in 1808 to establish U.S. control over the northern part of the Louisiana Purchase , drawn 1810 After the early explorations , the U.S. government sought to establish control of the region , since trade along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers was still dominated by British and French traders from Canada and allied Indians , especially the Sauk and Fox . The U.S. adapted the former Spanish facility at Fort Bellefontaine as a fur trading post near St. Louis in 1804 for business with the Sauk and Fox . In 1808 two military forts with trading factories were built , Fort Osage along the Missouri River in western present - day Missouri and Fort Madison along the Upper Mississippi River in eastern present - day Iowa . With tensions increasing with Great Britain , in 1809 Fort Bellefontaine was converted to a U.S. military fort , and was used for that purpose until 1826 . During the War of 1812 , Great Britain and allied Indians defeated U.S. forces in the Upper Mississippi ; the U.S. abandoned Forts Osage and Madison , as well as several other U.S. forts built during the war , including Fort Johnson and Fort Shelby . After U.S. ownership of the region was confirmed in the Treaty of Ghent ( 1814 ) , the U.S. built or expanded forts along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers , including adding to Fort Bellefontaine , and constructing Fort Armstrong ( 1816 ) and Fort Edwards ( 1816 ) in Illinois , Fort Crawford ( 1816 ) in Prairie du Chien Wisconsin , Fort Snelling ( 1819 ) in Minnesota , and Fort Atkinson ( 1819 ) in Nebraska . Financing The American government used $3 million in gold as a down payment , and issued bonds for the balance to pay France for the purchase .", "14": "Earlier that year , Francis Baring and Company of London had become the U.S. government 's official banking agent in London . Because of this favored position , the U.S. asked the Baring firm to handle the transaction . Francis Baring 's son Alexander was in Paris at the time and helped in the negotiations . Another Baring advantage was a close relationship with Hope and Company of Amsterdam . The two banking houses worked together to facilitate and underwrite the Purchase . Because Napoleon wanted to receive his money as quickly as possible , the two firms received the American bonds and shipped the gold to France . Napoleon used the money to finance his planned invasion of England , which never took place .

{ "0": "Ivy League - wikipedia Ivy League Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the group of colleges and the athletic conference that gave the group its name . For other uses , see Ivy League ( disambiguation ) . Ivy League Established 1954 Association NCAA Division Division I Subdivision FCS Members 8 Sports fielded 33 men 's : 17 women 's : 16 Region Northeast Headquarters Princeton , New Jersey Commissioner Robin Harris ( since 2009 ) Website ivyleaguesports.com Locations The Ivy League is a collegiate athletic conference comprising sports teams from eight private universities in the Northeastern United States . The conference name is also commonly used to refer to those eight schools as a group beyond the sports context . The eight members are Brown University , Columbia University , Cornell University , Dartmouth College , Harvard University , the University of Pennsylvania , Princeton University , and Yale University . The term Ivy League has connotations of academic excellence , selectivity in admissions , and social elitism . While the term was in use as early as 1933 , it became official only after the formation of the NCAA Division I athletic conference in 1954 . Seven of the eight schools were founded during the United States colonial period ; Cornell was founded in 1865 . Ivy League institutions account for seven of the nine Colonial Colleges chartered before the American Revolution ; the other two are Rutgers University and the College of William & Mary . Ivy League schools are generally viewed as some of the most prestigious , and are ranked among the best universities worldwide by U.S. News & World Report . All eight universities place in the top fourteen of the U.S. News & World Report 2018 national university rankings , including the top four schools and five of the top eight . U.S. News has named a member of the Ivy League as the best national university in each of the past eighteen years ending with the 2018 rankings : Princeton eleven times , Harvard twice , and the two schools tied for first five times . Undergraduate enrollments range from about 4,000 to 14,000 , making them larger than those of a typical private liberal arts college and smaller than a typical public state university .", "1": "Total enrollments , including graduate students , range from approximately 6,400 at Dartmouth to over 20,000 at Columbia , Cornell , Harvard , and Penn . Ivy League financial endowments range from Brown 's $3.5 billion to Harvard 's $34.5 billion , the largest financial endowment of any academic institution in the world .

Harvard University uses the date that the legislature of the Massachusetts Bay Colony formally allocated funds for the creation of a college . Harvard was chartered in 1650 , although classes had been conducted for approximately a decade by then . The University of Pennsylvania initially considered its founding date to be 1750 ; this is the year which appears on the first iteration of the university seal . Later in Penn 's early history , the university changed its officially recognized founding date to 1749 , which was used for all of the nineteenth century , including a centennial celebration in 1849 . In 1899 , Penn 's board of trustees formally adopted a third founding date of 1740 , in response to a petition from Penn 's General Alumni Society . Penn was chartered in 1755 , the same year collegiate classes began . `` Religious affiliation '' refers to financial sponsorship , formal association with , and promotion by , a religious denomination . All of the schools in the Ivy League are private and not currently associated with any religion .

In 1893 , an alumnus told The Harvard Crimson , `` In 1850 , class day was placed upon the University Calendar ... the custom of planting the ivy , while the ivy oration was delivered , arose about this time . ''", "4": "At Penn , graduating seniors started the custom of planting ivy at a university building each spring in 1873 and that practice was formally designated as `` Ivy Day '' in 1874 . Ivy planting ceremonies are reported for Yale , Simmons , Bryn Mawr and many others . Princeton 's `` Ivy Club '' was founded in 1879 . The first usage of Ivy in reference to a group of colleges is from sportswriter Stanley Woodward ( 1895 -- 1965 ) . A proportion of our eastern ivy colleges are meeting little fellows another Saturday before plunging into the strife and the turmoil . -- Stanley Woodward , New York Tribune , October 14 , 1933 , describing the football season The first known instance of the term Ivy League being used appeared in The Christian Science Monitor on February 7 , 1935 . Several sportswriters and other journalists used the term shortly later to refer to the older colleges , those along the northeastern seaboard of the United States , chiefly the nine institutions with origins dating from the colonial era , together with the United States Military Academy ( West Point ) , the United States Naval Academy , and a few others . These schools were known for their long - standing traditions in intercollegiate athletics , often being the first schools to participate in such activities . However , at this time , none of these institutions made efforts to form an athletic league . A common folk etymology attributes the name to the Roman numeral for four ( IV ) , asserting that there was such a sports league originally with four members . The Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins helped to perpetuate this belief . The supposed `` IV League '' was formed over a century ago and consisted of Harvard , Yale , Princeton , and a fourth school that varies depending on who is telling the story . However , it is clear that Harvard , Princeton , Yale and Columbia met on November 23 , 1876 at the so - called Massasoit Convention to decide on uniform rules for the emerging game of American football , which rapidly spread . Pre -- Ivy League Chancellor Green Library at Princeton , 2007 Robinson Hall at Brown , 2009 Cornell baseball player , 1908 Seven out of the eight Ivy League schools were founded before the American Revolution ; Cornell was founded just after the American Civil War .", "5": "These seven were the primary colleges in the Northern and Middle Colonies , and their early faculties and founding boards were largely drawn from other Ivy League institutions . There were also some British graduates from the University of Cambridge , the University of Oxford , the University of St. Andrews , the University of Edinburgh , and elsewhere on their boards . Similarly , the founder of The College of William & Mary , in 1693 , was a British graduate of the University of Edinburgh . Cornell provided Stanford University with its first president . The influence of these institutions on the founding of other colleges and universities is notable . This included the Southern public college movement which blossomed in the decades surrounding the turn of the 19th century when Georgia , South Carolina , North Carolina and Virginia established what became the flagship universities for each of these states . In 1801 , a majority of the first board of trustees for what became the University of South Carolina were Princeton alumni . They appointed Jonathan Maxcy , a Brown graduate , as the university 's first president . Thomas Cooper , an Oxford alumnus and University of Pennsylvania faculty member , became the second president of the South Carolina college . The founders of the University of California came from Yale , hence the school colors of University of California are Yale Blue and California Gold . Some of the Ivy League schools have identifiable Protestant roots , while others were founded as non-sectarian schools . Church of England King 's College broke up during the Revolution and was reformed as public nonsectarian Columbia College . In the early nineteenth century , the specific purpose of training Calvinist ministers was handed off to theological seminaries , but a denominational tone and such relics as compulsory chapel often lasted well into the twentieth century . Penn and Brown were officially founded as nonsectarian schools . Brown 's charter promised no religious tests and `` full liberty of conscience '' , but placed control in the hands of a board of twenty - two Baptists , five Quakers , four Congregationalists , and five Episcopalians . Cornell has been strongly nonsectarian from its founding . `` Ivy League '' is sometimes used as a way of referring to an elite class , even though institutions such as Cornell University were among the first in the United States to reject racial and gender discrimination in their admissions policies . This dates back to at least 1935 .", "6": "Novels and memoirs attest this sense , as a social elite ; to some degree independent of the actual schools . After the Second World War , the present Ivy League institutions slowly widened their selection of their students . They had always had distinguished faculties ; some of the first Americans with doctorates had taught for them ; but they now decided that they could not both be world - class research institutions and be competitive in the highest ranks of American college sport ; in addition , the schools experienced the scandals of any other big - time football programs , although more quietly . History of the athletic League Yale University 's four - oared crew team , posing with the 1876 Centennial Regatta trophy . The 1879 Brown baseball varsity , with W.E. White seated second from right ; White 's appearance in an 1879 major league game , the first for an African American , came 68 years before Jackie Robinson permanently broke the baseball color line Yale rowing team in the annual Harvard -- Yale Regatta , 2007 Penn 's ICAA track champions in 1907 19th and early 20th centuries The first formal athletic league involving eventual Ivy League schools ( or any US colleges , for that matter ) was created in 1870 with the formation of the Rowing Association of American Colleges . The RAAC hosted a de facto national championship in rowing during the period 1870 -- 1894 . In 1895 , Cornell , Columbia , and Penn founded the Intercollegiate Rowing Association , which remains the oldest collegiate athletic organizing body in the US . To this day , the IRA Championship Regatta determines the national champion in rowing and all of the Ivies are regularly invited to compete . A basketball league was later created in 1902 , when Columbia , Cornell , Harvard , Yale and Princeton formed the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League ; they were later joined by Penn and Dartmouth . In 1906 , the organization that eventually became the National Collegiate Athletic Association was formed , primarily to formalize rules for the emerging sport of football . But of the 39 original member colleges in the NCAA , only two of them ( Dartmouth and Penn ) later became Ivies . In February 1903 , intercollegiate wrestling began when Yale accepted a challenge from Columbia , published in the Yale News .", "7": "The dual meet took place prior to a basketball game hosted by Columbia and resulted in a tie . Two years later , Penn and Princeton also added wrestling teams , leading to the formation of the student - run Intercollegiate Wrestling Association , now the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association ( EIWA ) , the first and oldest collegiate wrestling league in the US . In 1930 , Columbia , Cornell , Dartmouth , Penn , Princeton and Yale formed the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League ; they were later joined by Harvard , Brown , Army and Navy . Before the formal establishment of the Ivy League , there was an `` unwritten and unspoken agreement among certain Eastern colleges on athletic relations '' . The earliest reference to the `` Ivy colleges '' came in 1933 , when Stanley Woodward of the New York Herald Tribune used it to refer to the eight current members plus Army . In 1935 , the Associated Press reported on an example of collaboration between the schools : The athletic authorities of the so - called `` Ivy League '' are considering drastic measures to curb the increasing tendency toward riotous attacks on goal posts and other encroachments by spectators on playing fields . -- The Associated Press , The New York Times Despite such collaboration , the universities did not seem to consider the formation of the league as imminent . Romeyn Berry , Cornell 's manager of athletics , reported the situation in January 1936 as follows : I can say with certainty that in the last five years -- and markedly in the last three months -- there has been a strong drift among the eight or ten universities of the East which see a good deal of one another in sport toward a closer bond of confidence and cooperation and toward the formation of a common front against the threat of a breakdown in the ideals of amateur sport in the interests of supposed expediency . Please do not regard that statement as implying the organization of an Eastern conference or even a poetic `` Ivy League '' . That sort of thing does not seem to be in the cards at the moment .", "8": "Within a year of this statement and having held month - long discussions about the proposal , on December 3 , 1936 , the idea of `` the formation of an Ivy League '' gained enough traction among the undergraduate bodies of the universities that the Columbia Daily Spectator , The Cornell Daily Sun , The Dartmouth , The Harvard Crimson , The Daily Pennsylvanian , The Daily Princetonian and the Yale Daily News would simultaneously run an editorial entitled `` Now Is the Time '' , encouraging the seven universities to form the league in an effort to preserve the ideals of athletics . Part of the editorial read as follows : The Ivy League exists already in the minds of a good many of those connected with football , and we fail to see why the seven schools concerned should be satisfied to let it exist as a purely nebulous entity where there are so many practical benefits which would be possible under definite organized association . The seven colleges involved fall naturally together by reason of their common interests and similar general standards and by dint of their established national reputation they are in a particularly advantageous position to assume leadership for the preservation of the ideals of intercollegiate athletics . The Ivies have been competing in sports as long as intercollegiate sports have existed in the United States . Rowing teams from Harvard and Yale met in the first sporting event held between students of two U.S. colleges on Lake Winnipesaukee , New Hampshire , on August 3 , 1852 . Harvard 's team , `` The Oneida '' , won the race and was presented with trophy black walnut oars from then presidential nominee General Franklin Pierce . The proposal did not succeed -- on January 11 , 1937 , the athletic authorities at the schools rejected the `` possibility of a heptagonal league in football such as these institutions maintain in basketball , baseball and track . '' However , they noted that the league `` has such promising possibilities that it may not be dismissed and must be the subject of further consideration . '' Post -- World War ii Students in Stell Hall at Dartmouth 's Tuck School of Business , 2007 Students of Yale College , 1866 In 1945 the presidents of the eight schools signed the first Ivy Group Agreement , which set academic , financial , and athletic standards for the football teams . The principles established reiterated those put forward in the Harvard - Yale - Princeton Presidents ' Agreement of 1916 .", "9": "The Ivy Group Agreement established the core tenet that an applicant 's ability to play on a team would not influence admissions decisions : The members of the Group reaffirm their prohibition of athletic scholarships . Athletes shall be admitted as students and awarded financial aid only on the basis of the same academic standards and economic need as are applied to all other students . In 1954 , the presidents extended the Ivy Group Agreement to all intercollegiate sports , effective with the 1955 -- 56 basketball season . This is generally reckoned as the formal formation of the Ivy League . As part of the transition , Brown , the only Ivy that had n't joined the EIBL , did so for the 1954 -- 55 season . A year later , the Ivy League absorbed the EIBL . The Ivy League claims the EIBL 's history as its own . Through the EIBL , it is the oldest basketball conference in Division I . As late as the 1960s many of the Ivy League universities ' undergraduate programs remained open only to men , with Cornell the only one to have been coeducational from its founding ( 1865 ) and Columbia being the last ( 1983 ) to become coeducational . Before they became coeducational , many of the Ivy schools maintained extensive social ties with nearby Seven Sisters women 's colleges , including weekend visits , dances and parties inviting Ivy and Seven Sisters students to mingle . This was the case not only at Barnard College and Radcliffe College , which are adjacent to Columbia and Harvard , but at more distant institutions as well . The movie Animal House includes a satiric version of the formerly common visits by Dartmouth men to Massachusetts to meet Smith and Mount Holyoke women , a drive of more than two hours . As noted by Irene Harwarth , Mindi Maline , and Elizabeth DeBra , `` The ' Seven Sisters ' was the name given to Barnard , Smith , Mount Holyoke , Vassar , Bryn Mawr , Wellesley , and Radcliffe , because of their parallel to the Ivy League men 's colleges . ''", "10": "In 1982 the Ivy League considered adding two members , with Army , Navy , and Northwestern as the most likely candidates ; if it had done so , the league could probably have avoided being moved into the recently created Division I - AA ( now Division I FCS ) for football . In 1983 , following the admission of women to Columbia College , Columbia University and Barnard College entered into an athletic consortium agreement by which students from both schools compete together on Columbia University women 's athletic teams , which replaced the women 's teams previously sponsored by Barnard . When Army and Navy departed the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League in 1992 , all intercollegiate competition involving the eight schools became united under the Ivy League banner .

According to the Nobel Foundation 's website , as of 2016 the number of prize - winners affiliated with each Ivy League university at the time of their awards is : Brown , 2 ; Columbia , 17 ; Cornell , 8 ; Dartmouth , 0 ; Harvard , 36 ; Penn , 4 ; Princeton , 14 ; and Yale , 8 . In addition , each university self - reports their number of affiliated Nobel laureates , but they use varying definitions for which Nobel winners they claim ( for example , alumni , active faculty , former faculty , visiting faculty , adjunct faculty , etc . ) Collaboration Collaboration between the member schools is illustrated by the student - led Ivy Council that meets in the fall and spring of each year , with representatives from every Ivy League school . The governing body of the Ivy League is the Council of Ivy Group Presidents , composed of each university president . During meetings , the presidents often discuss common procedures and initiatives for the universities . Culture Fashion and lifestyle See also : Ivy League ( clothes ) , Preppy , Take Ivy , and Ivy League ( haircut ) Statue of Benjamin Franklin on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania , 2011 Different fashion trends and styles have emerged from Ivy League campuses over time , and fashion trends such as Ivy League and Preppy are styles often associated with the Ivy League and its culture . Ivy League style is a style of men 's dress , popular during the late 1950s , believed to have originated on Ivy League campuses .", "12": "The clothing stores J. Press and Brooks Brothers represent perhaps the quintessential Ivy League dress manner . The Ivy League style is said to be the predecessor to the preppy style of dress . Preppy fashion started around 1912 to the late 1940s and 1950s as the Ivy League style of dress . J. Press represents the quintessential preppy clothing brand , stemming from the collegiate traditions that shaped the preppy subculture . In the mid-twentieth century J. Press and Brooks Brothers , both being pioneers in preppy fashion , had stores on Ivy League school campuses , including Harvard , Princeton , and Yale . Some typical preppy styles also reflect traditional upper class New England leisure activities , such as equestrian , sailing or yachting , hunting , fencing , rowing , lacrosse , tennis , golf , and rugby . Longtime New England outdoor outfitters , such as L.L. Bean , became part of conventional preppy style . This can be seen in sport stripes and colours , equestrian clothing , plaid shirts , field jackets and nautical - themed accessories . Vacationing in Palm Beach , Florida , long popular with the East Coast upper class , led to the emergence of bright colour combinations in leisure wear seen in some brands such as Lilly Pulitzer . By the 1980s , other brands such as Lacoste , Izod and Dooney & Bourke became associated with preppy style . Today , these styles continue to be popular on Ivy League campuses , throughout the U.S. , and abroad , and are oftentimes labeled as `` Classic American style '' or `` Traditional American style '' . Social elitism The A.D. White Reading Room at Cornell 's Uris Library , 2008 A cartoon portrait of the stereotypical Columbia man , 1902 The Ivy League is often associated with the upper class White Anglo - Saxon Protestant community of the Northeast , Old Money , or more generally , the American upper middle and upper classes . Although most Ivy League students come from upper middle - and upper - class families , the student body has become increasingly more economically and ethnically diverse . The universities provide significant financial aid to help increase the enrollment of lower income and middle class students . Several reports suggest , however , that the proportion of students from less - affluent families remains low .", "13": "Phrases such as `` Ivy League snobbery '' are ubiquitous in nonfiction and fiction writing of the early and mid-twentieth century . A Louis Auchincloss character dreads `` the aridity of snobbery which he knew infected the Ivy League colleges '' . A business writer , warning in 2001 against discriminatory hiring , presented a cautionary example of an attitude to avoid ( the bracketed phrase is his ) : We Ivy Leaguers ( read : mostly white and Anglo ) know that an Ivy League degree is a mark of the kind of person who is likely to succeed in this organization . The phrase Ivy League historically has been perceived as connected not only with academic excellence , but also with social elitism . In 1936 , sportswriter John Kieran noted that student editors at Harvard , Yale , Princeton , Cornell , Columbia , Dartmouth , and Penn were advocating the formation of an athletic association . In urging them to consider `` Army and Navy and Georgetown and Fordham and Syracuse and Brown and Pitt '' as candidates for membership , he exhorted : It would be well for the proponents of the Ivy League to make it clear ( to themselves especially ) that the proposed group would be inclusive but not `` exclusive '' as this term is used with a slight up - tilting of the tip of the nose . Aspects of Ivy stereotyping were illustrated during the 1988 presidential election , when George H.W. Bush ( Yale ' 48 ) derided Michael Dukakis ( graduate of Harvard Law School ) for having `` foreign - policy views born in Harvard Yard 's boutique . '' New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd asked `` Was n't this a case of the pot calling the kettle elite ? '' Bush explained , however , that , unlike Harvard , Yale 's reputation was `` so diffuse , there is n't a symbol , I do n't think , in the Yale situation , any symbolism in it ... Harvard boutique to me has the connotation of liberalism and elitism '' and said Harvard in his remark was intended to represent `` a philosophical enclave '' and not a statement about class . Columnist Russell Baker opined that `` Voters inclined to loathe and fear elite Ivy League schools rarely make fine distinctions between Yale and Harvard .", "14": "All they know is that both are full of rich , fancy , stuck - up and possibly dangerous intellectuals who never sit down to supper in their undershirt no matter how hot the weather gets . '' Still , the last five presidents have all attended Ivy League schools for at least part of their education -- George H.W. Bush ( Yale undergrad ) , Bill Clinton ( Yale Law School ) , George W. Bush ( Yale undergrad , Harvard Business School ) , Barack Obama ( Columbia undergrad , Harvard Law School ) , and Donald Trump ( Penn undergrad ) .

As all eight Ivy League universities are within the Northeast , it is no surprise that most graduates end up working and residing in the Northeast after graduation . An unscientific survey of Harvard seniors from the Class of 2013 found that 42 % hailed from the Northeast and 55 % overall were planning on working and residing in the Northeast . Boston and New York City are traditionally where many Ivy League graduates end up living . Socioeconomics and social class Harvard Law School students circa 1895 Students of the Ivy League , both graduate and undergraduate , come primarily from upper middle and upper class families .", "16": "In recent years , however , the universities have looked towards increasing socioeconomic and class diversity , by providing greater financial aid packages to applicants from lower , working , and middle class American families . In 2013 , 46 % of Harvard undergraduate students came from families in the top 3.8 % of all American households ( i.e. , over $200,000 annual income ) . In 2012 , the bottom 25 % of the American income distribution accounted for only 3 -- 4 % of students at Brown , a figure that had remained unchanged since 1992 . In 2014 , 69 % of incoming freshmen students at Yale College came from families with annual incomes of over $120,000 , putting most Yale College students in the upper middle and / or upper class . ( The median household income in the U.S. in 2013 was $52,700 . ) In the 2011 -- 2012 academic year , students qualifying for Pell Grants ( federally funded scholarships on the basis of need ) comprised 20 % at Harvard , 18 % at Cornell , 17 % at Penn , 16 % at Columbia , 15 % at Dartmouth and Brown , 14 % at Yale , and 12 % at Princeton . Nationally , 35 % of American university students qualify for a Pell Grant . Competition and athletics Cornell plays Brown at Cornell 's Homecoming game , October 2017 . The Yale Bowl in 2001 during the annual football game played between Harvard and Yale Ivy champions are recognized in sixteen men 's and sixteen women 's sports . In some sports , Ivy teams actually compete as members of another league , the Ivy championship being decided by isolating the members ' records in play against each other ; for example , the six league members who participate in ice hockey do so as members of ECAC Hockey , but an Ivy champion is extrapolated each year . The Ivy League was the last Division I basketball conference to institute a conference postseason tournament ; the first tournaments for men and women were held at the end of the 2016 -- 17 season . The tournaments only award the Ivy League automatic bids for the NCAA Division I Men 's and Women 's Basketball Tournaments ; the official conference championships continue to be awarded based solely on regular - season results .", "17": "Before the 2016 -- 17 season , the automatic bids were based solely on regular - season record , with a one - game playoff ( or series of one - game playoffs if more than two teams were tied ) held to determine the automatic bid . The Ivy League is one of only two Division I conferences which award their official basketball championships solely on regular - season results ; the other is the Southeastern Conference . Since its inception , an Ivy League school has yet to win either the men 's or women 's Division I NCAA Basketball Tournament . On average , each Ivy school has more than 35 varsity teams . All eight are in the top 20 for number of sports offered for both men and women among Division I schools . Unlike most Division I athletic conferences , the Ivy League prohibits the granting of athletic scholarships ; all scholarships awarded are need - based ( financial aid ) . In addition , the Ivies have a rigid policy against redshirting , even for medical reasons ; an athlete loses a year of eligibility for every year enrolled at an Ivy institution . Ivy League teams ' non-league games are often against the members of the Patriot League , which have similar academic standards and athletic scholarship policies ( although unlike the Ivies , the Patriot League allows redshirting ) . In the time before recruiting for college sports became dominated by those offering athletic scholarships and lowered academic standards for athletes , the Ivy League was successful in many sports relative to other universities in the country . In particular , Princeton won 26 recognized national championships in college football ( last in 1935 ) , and Yale won 18 ( last in 1927 ) . Both of these totals are considerably higher than those of other historically strong programs such as Alabama , which has won 15 , Notre Dame , which claims 11 but is credited by many sources with 13 , and USC , which has won 11 . Yale , whose coach Walter Camp was the `` Father of American Football , '' held on to its place as the all - time wins leader in college football throughout the entire 20th century , but was finally passed by Michigan on November 10 , 2001 . Harvard , Yale , Princeton and Penn each have over a dozen former scholar - athletes enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame .", "18": "Currently Dartmouth holds the record for most Ivy League football titles , with 18 , followed closely by Harvard and Penn , each with 17 titles . In addition , the Ivy League has produced Super Bowl winners Kevin Boothe ( Cornell ) , two - time Pro Bowler Zak DeOssie ( Brown ) , Sean Morey ( Brown ) , All - Pro selection Matt Birk ( Harvard ) , Calvin Hill ( Yale ) , Derrick Harmon ( Cornell ) and 1999 `` Mr. Irrelevant '' Jim Finn ( Penn ) . Beginning with the 1982 football season , the Ivy League has competed in Division I - AA ( renamed FCS in 2006 ) . The Ivy League teams are eligible for the FCS tournament held to determine the national champion , and the league champion is eligible for an automatic bid ( and any other team may qualify for an at - large selection ) from the NCAA . However , the Ivy League has not played any postseason games at all since 1956 due to the league 's concerns about the extended December schedule 's effects on academics . For this reason , any Ivy League team invited to the FCS playoffs turns down the bid . The Ivy League plays a strict 10 - game schedule , compared to other FCS members ' schedules of 11 ( or , in some seasons , 12 ) regular season games , plus post-season , which was most recently expanded in 2013 to five rounds with 24 teams , with a bye week for the top eight teams . Football is the only sport in which the Ivy League declines to compete for a national title . In addition to varsity football , Penn , Princeton and Cornell also field teams in the eight - team Collegiate Sprint Football League , in which all players must weigh 172 pounds or less . Penn and Princeton are the last remaining founding members of the league from its 1934 debut , and Cornell is the next - oldest , joining in 1937 . Yale and Columbia previously fielded teams in the league but no longer do so .", "19": "Teams Teams in Ivy League competition Sport Men 's Women 's Baseball 8 - Basketball 8 8 Cross-country 8 8 Fencing 6 7 Field hockey - 8 Football 8 - Golf 8 7 Ice hockey 6 6 Lacrosse 7 8 Rowing 7 7 Soccer 8 8 Softball - 8 Squash 8 8 Swimming and diving 7 8 Tennis 8 8 Track and field ( indoor ) 8 8 Track and field ( outdoor ) 8 8 Volleyball - 8 Wrestling 6 - The Ivy League is home to some of the oldest college rugby teams in the United States .

Princeton and Harvard have on occasion won ten or more Ivy League titles in a year , an achievement accomplished 10 times by Harvard and 24 times by Princeton , including a conference - record 15 championships in 2010 -- 11 . Only once has one of the other six schools earned more than eight titles in a single academic year ( Cornell with nine in 2005 -- 06 ) . In the 38 academic years beginning 1979 -- 80 , Princeton has averaged 10 championships per year , one - third of the conference total of 33 sponsored sports .", "20": "In the 12 academic years beginning 2005 -- 06 Princeton has won championships in 31 different sports , all except wrestling and men 's tennis . Rivalries Built in 1927 , Penn 's Palestra is shown around 2006 Performance of a Greek play at Harvard Stadium in 1903 Rivalries run deep in the Ivy League . For instance , Princeton and Penn are longstanding men 's basketball rivals ; `` Puck Frinceton '' T - shirts are worn by Quaker fans at games . In only 11 instances in the history of Ivy League basketball , and in only seven seasons since Yale 's 1962 title , has neither Penn nor Princeton won at least a share of the Ivy League title in basketball , with Princeton champion or co-champion 26 times and Penn 25 times . Penn has won 21 outright , Princeton 19 outright . Princeton has been a co-champion 7 times , sharing 4 of those titles with Penn ( these 4 seasons represent the only times Penn has been co-champion ) . Harvard won its first title of either variety in 2011 , losing a dramatic play - off game to Princeton for the NCAA tournament bid , then rebounded to win outright championships in 2012 , 2013 , and 2014 . Harvard also won the 2013 Great Alaska Shootout , defeating TCU to become the only Ivy League school to win the now - defunct tournament . Rivalries exist between other Ivy league teams in other sports , including Cornell and Harvard in hockey , Harvard and Princeton in swimming , and Harvard and Penn in football ( Penn and Harvard have won 28 Ivy League Football Championships since 1982 , Penn - 16 ; Harvard - 12 ) . During that time Penn has had 8 undefeated Ivy League Football Championships and Harvard has had 6 undefeated Ivy League Football Championships . In men 's lacrosse , Cornell and Princeton are perennial rivals , and they are the only two Ivy League teams to have won the NCAA tournament . In 2009 , the Big Red and Tigers met for their 70th game in the NCAA tournament . No team other than Harvard or Princeton has won the men 's swimming conference title outright since 1972 , although Yale , Columbia , and Cornell have shared the title with Harvard and Princeton during this time .", "21": "Similarly , no program other than Princeton and Harvard has won the women 's swimming championship since Brown 's 1999 title . Princeton or Cornell has won every indoor and outdoor track and field championship , both men 's and women 's , every year since 2002 -- 03 , with one exception ( Columbia women won indoor championship in 2012 ) . Harvard and Yale are football and crew rivals although the competition has become unbalanced ; Harvard has won all but one of the last 15 football games and all but one of the last 13 crew races .

For the first three decades of the Yale - Princeton rivalry , the two played their season - ending game at a neutral site , usually New York City , and with one exception ( 1890 : Harvard ) , the winner of the game also won at least a share of the national championship that year , covering the period 1869 through 1903 . This phenomenon of a finale contest at a neutral site for the national title created a social occasion for the society elite of the metropolitan area akin to a Super Bowl in the era prior to the establishment of the NFL in 1920 . These football games were also financially profitable for the two universities , so much that they began to play baseball games in New York City as well , drawing record crowds for that sport also , largely from the same social demographic .", "22": "In a period when the only professional sports were fledgling baseball leagues , these high - profile early contests between Princeton and Yale played a role in popularizing spectator sports , demonstrating their financial potential and raising public awareness of Ivy universities at a time when few people attended college .

Jump up ^ The institution , though founded in 1636 , did not receive its name until 1639 . It was nameless for its first two years Jump up ^ See University of Pennsylvania for details of the circumstances of Penn 's origin . Penn considered its founding date to be 1749 for over a century. ( 1 ) In 1895 , elite universities in the United States agreed that henceforth formal academic processions would place visiting dignitaries and other officials in the order of their institution 's founding dates . Penn 's periodical `` The Alumni Register , '' published by the General Alumni Society , then began a grassroots campaign to retroactively revise the university 's founding date to 1740 , in order to appear older than Princeton University , which had been chartered in 1746 . In 1899 , the Board of Trustees acceded to the alumni initiative and voted to change the founding date to 1740 . The rationale offered in 1899 was that , in 1750 , founder Benjamin Franklin and his original board of trustees purchased a completed but unused building and assumed an unnamed trust from a group which had hoped to begin a church and charity school in Philadelphia . This edifice was commonly called the `` New Building '' by local citizens and was referred to by such name in Franklin 's memoirs as well as the legal bill of sale in Penn 's archives . No name is stated or known for the associated educational trust , hence `` Unnamed Charity School '' serves as a placeholder to refer to the trust which is the premise for Penn 's association with a founding date of 1740 .", "29": "The first named entity in Penn 's early history was the 1751 secondary school for boys and charity school for indigent children called `` Academy and Charitable School in the Province of Pennsylvania . '' ( 2 ) Undergraduate education began in 1755 and the organization then changed its name to `` College , Academy and Charity School of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania . '' ( 3 ) Operation of the charity school was discontinued a few years later . Jump up ^ Penn 's website , like other sources , makes an important point of Penn 's heritage being nonsectarian , associated with Benjamin Franklin and the Academy of Philadelphia 's nonsectarian board of trustees : `` The goal of Franklin 's nonsectarian , practical plan would be the education of a business and governing class rather than of clergymen . '' ( 4 ) . Jencks and Riesman ( 2001 ) write `` The Anglicans who founded the University of Pennsylvania , however , were evidently anxious not to alienate Philadelphia 's Quakers , and they made their new college officially nonsectarian . '' In Franklin 's 1749 founding Proposals relating to the education of youth in Pensilvania ( page images ) Archived 2007 - 10 - 18 at the Wayback Machine. , religion is not mentioned directly as a subject of study , but he states in a footnote that the study of `` History will also afford frequent Opportunities of showing the Necessity of a Publick Religion , from its Usefulness to the Publicks ; the Advantage of a Religious Character among private Persons ; the Mischiefs of Superstition , &c. and the Excellency of the CHRISTIAN RELIGION above all others antient or modern . '' Starting in 1751 , the same trustees also operated a Charity School for Boys , whose curriculum combined `` general principles of Christianity '' with practical instruction leading toward careers in business and the `` mechanical arts . '' ( 5 ) , and thus might be described as `` non-denominational Christian . '' The charity school was originally planned and a trust was organized on paper in 1740 by followers of travelling evangelist George Whitefield . The school was to have operated inside a church supported by the same group of adherents . But the organizers ran short of financing and , although the frame of the building was raised , the interior was left unfinished .", "30": "The founders of the Academy of Philadelphia purchased the unused building in 1750 for their new venture and , in the process , assumed the original trust . Since 1899 , Penn has claimed a founding date of 1740 , based on the organizational date of the charity school and the premise that it had institutional identity with the Academy of Philadelphia . Whitefield was a firebrand Methodist associated with The Great Awakening ; since the Methodists did not formally break from the Church of England until 1784 , Whitefield in 1740 would be labelled Episcopalian , and in fact Brown University , emphasizing its own pioneering nonsectarianism , refers to Penn 's origin as `` Episcopalian ''. ( 6 ) Penn is sometimes assumed to have Quaker ties ( its athletic teams are called `` Quakers , '' and the cross-registration alliance between Penn , Haverford , Swarthmore and Bryn Mawr is known as the `` Quaker Consortium . '' ) But Penn 's website does not assert any formal affiliation with Quakerism , historic or otherwise , and Haverford College implicitly asserts a non-Quaker origin for Penn when it states that `` Founded in 1833 , Haverford is the oldest institution of higher learning with Quaker roots in North America .

The Call of the Wild First edition cover Author Jack London Illustrator Philip R. Goodwin and Charles Livingston Bull Cover artist Charles Edward Hooper Country United States Language English Genre Adventure fiction Publisher Macmillan Publication date 1903 Media type Print ( Serial , Hardcover & Paperback ) Pages 515 pp ( First Edition ) OCLC 28228581 The Call of the Wild is a short adventure novel by Jack London published in 1903 and set in Yukon , Canada during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush , when strong sled dogs were in high demand . The central character of the novel is a dog named Buck . The story opens at a ranch in Santa Clara Valley , California , when Buck is stolen from his home and sold into service as a sled dog in Alaska . He becomes progressively feral in the harsh environment , where he is forced to fight to survive and dominate other dogs . By the end , he sheds the veneer of civilization , and relies on primordial instinct and learned experience to emerge as a leader in the wild . London spent almost a year in the Yukon , and his observations form much of the material for the book . The story was serialized in the Saturday Evening Post in the summer of 1903 and was published a month later in book form . The book 's great popularity and success made a reputation for London . As early as 1923 , the story was adapted to film , and it has since seen several more cinematic adaptations .

However , he is stolen by the gardener 's assistant , Manuel , and sold to finance his gambling addiction .", "1": "He is shipped to Seattle . Put in a crate , he is starved and ill - treated . When released , he attacks his overseer , known only as the `` man in the red sweater '' but is badly beaten and taught to respect the `` law of the club '' . Buck is then sold to a pair of French - Canadian dispatchers from the Canadian government , François and Perrault , who take him with them to the Klondike region of Canada . There , they train him as a sled dog . From his teammates , he quickly learns to survive cold winter nights and the pack society . A rivalry develops between Buck and the vicious , quarrelsome lead dog , Spitz . Buck eventually beats Spitz in a fight . Spitz is killed by the pack after his defeat by Buck , and Buck eventually becomes the leader of the team . When Francois and Perrault reach Dawson with their dispatches , and are given new orders from the Canadian government , the team is then sold to a `` Scottish half - breed '' man , who is also working the mail service . The dogs must carry heavy loads to the mining areas , and the journeys they make are tiresome and long . One of the team , a morose husky named Dave , becomes sick and is eventually shot . Buck 's next owners are a trio of stampeders ( Hal , Charles , and a woman named Mercedes from the United States ) , who are inexperienced at surviving in the Northern wilderness . They struggle to control the sled and ignore warnings that the spring melt poses dangers . They overfeed the dogs and then starve them when the food runs out . On their journey they meet John Thornton , an experienced outdoorsman , who notices the dogs have been poorly treated and are in a weakened condition . He warns the trio against crossing the river , but they ignore his advice and order Buck to move on . Exhausted , starving , and sensing the danger ahead , Buck refuses and continues to lie unmoving in the snow . After Buck is beaten by Hal , Thornton recognizes him to be a remarkable dog . Disgusted by the driver 's treatment of Buck , Thornton hits Hal with the butt of his axe , cuts Buck free from his traces , and tells the trio he is keeping him , much to Hal 's displeasure .", "2": "After some argument , the trio leaves and tries to cross the river , but as Thornton warned , the ice breaks , and the three fall into the river and drown , along with the sled and neglected dogs . Buck comes to love and grow devoted to Thornton as he nurses him back to health . He saves Thornton when the man falls into a river . After Thornton takes him on trips to pan for gold , a bonanza king ( someone who hit it rich in a certain area ) , named Matthewson , wagers Thornton on the dog 's strength and devotion . Buck wins by breaking a half - ton ( 1,000 - pound ( 450 kg ) ) sled free of the frozen ground , pulling it 100 yards ( 91 m ) and winning US $1,600 in gold dust . A king of the Skookum Benches offers a large sum to buy Buck , but Thornton has grown fond of him and declines . While Thornton and his friends continue their search for gold , Buck explores the wilderness and socializes with a timber wolf from a local pack . One night , he returns from a long hunt with the wolf pack to find that his beloved master and the others in the camp have been killed by a group of Yeehat natives . Buck eventually kills the natives to avenge Thornton , and he then is attacked by an entire pack of wolves . Buck wins the fight , then finds that the same timber wolf he had socialized with is in the pack he fought . Buck then follows the wolf and its pack into the forest , and answers the call of the wild . At the end of the story , Buck returns each year as the Ghost Dog of the Northland Legend , to mourn at the site of Thornton 's death . Background ( edit ) Miners carry gear up the Chilkoot Pass to reach the Klondike California native Jack London had traveled around the United States as a hobo , returned to California to finish high school ( he dropped out at age 14 ) , and spent a year in college at Berkeley , when in 1897 he went to the Klondike by way of Alaska during the height of the Klondike Gold Rush . Later , he said of the experience : `` It was in the Klondike I found myself . ''", "3": "He left California in July and traveled by boat to Dyea , Alaska , where he landed and went inland . To reach the gold fields , he and his party transported their gear over the Chilkoot Pass , often carrying loads as heavy as 100 pounds ( 45 kg ) on their backs . They were successful in staking claims to eight gold mines along the Stewart River . London stayed in the Klondike for almost a year , living temporarily in the frontier town of Dawson City , before moving to a nearby winter camp , where he spent the winter in a temporary shelter reading books he had brought : Charles Darwin 's On the Origin of Species and John Milton 's Paradise Lost . In the winter of 1898 , Dawson City ( today mostly deserted ) was a city comprising about 30,000 miners , a saloon , an opera house , and a street of brothels . Klondike routes map In the spring , as the annual gold stampeders began to stream in , London left . He had contracted scurvy , common in the Arctic winters where fresh produce was unavailable . When his gums began to swell he decided to return to California . With his companions , he rafted 2,000 miles ( 3,200 km ) down the Yukon River , through portions of the wildest territory in the region , until they reached St. Michael . There , he hired himself out on a boat to earn return passage to San Francisco . In Alaska , London found the material that inspired him to write The Call of the Wild . Dyea Beach was the primary point of arrival for miners when London traveled through there , but because its access was treacherous Skagway soon became the new arrival point for prospectors . To reach the Klondike , miners had to navigate White Pass , known as `` Dead Horse Pass '' , where horse carcasses littered the route because they could not survive the harsh and steep ascent . Horses were replaced with dogs as pack animals to transport material over the pass ; particularly strong dogs with thick fur were `` much desired , scarce and high in price '' . London would have seen many dogs , especially prized Husky sled dogs , in Dawson City and in the winter camps situated close to the main sled route . He was friends with Marshall Latham Bond and his brother Louis Whitford Bond , the owners of a mixed St.", "4": "Bernard - Scotch Collie dog about which London later wrote : `` Yes , Buck is based on your dog at Dawson . '' Beinecke Library at Yale University holds a photograph of Bond 's dog , taken during London 's stay in the Klondike in 1897 . The depiction of the California ranch in the beginning of the story was based on the Bond family ranch . Publication history ( edit ) On his return to California , London was unable to find work and relied on odd jobs such as cutting grass . He submitted a query letter to the San Francisco Bulletin proposing a story about his Alaskan adventure , but the idea was rejected because , as the editor told him , `` Interest in Alaska has subsided in an amazing degree . '' A few years later , London wrote a short story about a dog named Bâtard who , at the end of the story , kills his master . London sold the piece to Cosmopolitan Magazine , which published it in the June 1902 issue under the title `` Diablo -- A Dog '' . London 's biographer , Earle Labor , says that London then began work on The Call of the Wild to `` redeem the species '' from his dark characterization of dogs in `` Bâtard '' . Expecting to write a short story , London explains : `` I meant it to be a companion to my other dog story `` Bâtard '' ... but it got away from me , and instead of 4,000 words it ran 32,000 before I could call a halt . '' Written as a frontier story about the gold rush , The Call of the Wild was meant for the pulp market . It was first published in four installments in The Saturday Evening Post , which bought it for $750 in 1903 . In the same year , London sold all rights to the story for $2,000 to Macmillan , which published it in book format . The book has never been out of print since that time . Editions ( edit ) The first edition , by Macmillan , released in August 1903 , had 10 tipped - in color plates by illustrators Philip R. Goodwin and Charles Livingston Bull , and a color frontispiece by Charles Edward Hooper ; it sold for $1.50 . It is presently available with the original illustrations at the Internet Archive .", "5": "Genre ( edit ) Buck proves himself as leader of the pack when he fights Spitz `` to the death '' . The Call of the Wild falls into the genre of animal fiction , in which an animal is anthropomorphized and given human traits . In the story , London attributes human thoughts and insights to Buck , so much so that when the story was published he was accused of being a nature faker for attributing `` unnatural '' feelings to a dog . Along with his contemporaries Frank Norris and Theodore Dreiser , London was influenced by the naturalism of European writers such as Émile Zola , in which themes such as heredity versus environment were explored . London 's use of the genre gave it a new vibrancy , according to scholar Richard Lehan . The story is also an example of American pastoralism -- a prevailing theme in American literature -- in which the mythic hero returns to nature . As with other characters of American literature , such as Rip van Winkle and Huckleberry Finn , Buck symbolizes a reaction against industrialization and social convention with a return to nature . London presents the motif simply , clearly , and powerfully in the story , a motif later echoed by 20th century American writers William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway ( most notably in `` Big Two - Hearted River '' ) . Doctorow says of the story that it is `` fervently American '' . The enduring appeal of the story , according to American literature scholar Donald Pizer , is that it is a combination of allegory , parable , and fable . The story incorporates elements of age - old animal fables , such as Aesop 's Fables , in which animals speak truth , and traditional beast fables , in which the beast `` substitutes wit for insight '' . London was influenced by Rudyard Kipling 's The Jungle Book , written a few years earlier , with its combination of parable and animal fable , and by other animal stories popular in the early 20th century . In The Call of the Wild , London intensifies and adds layers of meaning that are lacking in these stories . As a writer London tended to skimp on form , according to biographer Labor , and neither The Call of the Wild nor White Fang `` is a conventional novel '' .", "6": "The story follows the archetypal `` myth of the hero '' ; Buck , who is the hero , takes a journey , is transformed , and achieves an apotheosis . The format of the story is divided into four distinct parts , according to Labor . In the first part , Buck experiences violence and struggles for survival ; in the second part , he proves himself a leader of the pack ; the third part brings him to his death ( symbolically and almost literally ) ; and in the fourth and final part , he undergoes rebirth . Themes ( edit ) London 's story is a tale of survival and a return to primitivism . Pizer writes that : `` the strong , the shrewd , and the cunning shall prevail when ... life is bestial '' . Pizer also finds evident in the story a Christian theme of love and redemption , as shown by Buck 's refusal to revert to violence until after the death of Thornton , who had won Buck 's love and loyalty . London , who went so far as to fight for custody of one of his own dogs , understood that loyalty between dogs ( particularly working dogs ) and their masters is built on trust and love . The Call of the Wild ( cover of the Saturday Evening Post shown ) is about the survival of the fittest . Writing in the `` Introduction '' to the Modern Library edition of The Call of the Wild , E.L. Doctorow says the theme is based on Darwin 's concept of survival of the fittest . London places Buck in conflict with humans , in conflict with the other dogs , and in conflict with his environment -- all of which he must challenge , survive , and conquer . Buck , a domesticated dog , must call on his atavistic hereditary traits to survive ; he must learn to be wild to become wild , according to Tina Gianquitto . He learns that in a world where the `` club and the fang '' are law , where the law of the pack rules and a good - natured dog such as Curly can be torn to pieces by pack members , that survival by whatever means is paramount . London also explores the question of `` nature vs. nurture '' , according to Pizer . Buck , raised as a pet , is by heredity a wolf .", "7": "The change of environment releases his innate characteristics and strengths to the point where he fights for survival and becomes leader of the pack . Furthermore , Pizer maintains that the story appeals to human nature with the theme of the strong prevailing , particularly when faced with harsh circumstances , and a return to the wild . The veneer of civilization is thin and fragile , writes Doctorow , and in the story London exposes the brutality at the core of humanity and the ease with which humans revert to a state of primitivism . His interest in Marxism is evident in the sub-theme that humanity is motivated by materialism ; and his interest in Nietzschean philosophy is shown by Buck 's characterization . Gianquitto writes that in Buck 's characterization , London created a type of Nietschean Übermensch -- in this case a dog that reaches mythic proportions . Doctorow sees the story as a caricature of a bildungsroman -- in which a character learns and grows -- in that Buck becomes progressively less civilized . Gianquitto explains that Buck has evolved to the point that he is ready to join a wolf pack , which has a social structure uniquely adapted to and successful in the harsh arctic environment , unlike humans , who are weak in the harsh environment . Writing style ( edit ) Old longings nomadic leap , Chafing at custom 's chain ; Again from its brumal sleep Wakens the ferine strain . John Myers O'Hara , Atavism The first chapter opens with the first quatrain of John Myers O'Hara 's poem , Atavism , published in 1902 in The Bookman . The stanza outlines one of the main motifs of The Call of the Wild : that Buck , when removed from the `` sun - kissed '' Santa Clara Valley where he was raised , will revert to his wolf heritage with its innate instincts and characteristics . The themes are conveyed through London 's use of symbolism and imagery which , according to Labor , vary in the different phases of the story . The imagery and symbolism in the first phase , to do with the journey and self - discovery , depict physical violence , with strong images of pain and blood . In the second phase fatigue becomes a dominant image and death is a dominant symbol , as Buck comes close to being killed .", "8": "The third phase is a period of renewal and rebirth and takes place in the spring , before ending with the fourth phase , when Buck fully reverts to nature is placed in a vast and `` weird atmosphere '' , a place of pure emptiness . The setting is allegorical . The southern lands represent the soft , materialistic world ; the north symbolizes a world beyond civilization and is inherently competitive . The harshness , brutality , and emptiness in Alaska reduce life to its essence , as London learned , and shows in Buck 's story . Buck must defeat Spitz , the dog who symbolically tries to get ahead and take control . When Buck is sold to Charles , Hal , and Mercedes , he finds himself in a camp that is dirty . They treat their dogs badly ; they are artificial interlopers in the pristine landscape . Conversely , Buck 's next masters , John Thornton and his two companions , are described as `` living close to the earth '' . They keep a clean camp , treat their animals well , and represent man 's nobility in nature . Unlike Buck , Thornton loses his fight with his fellow species , and not until Thornton 's death does Buck revert fully to the wild and his primordial state . The characters too are symbolic of types . Charles , Hal and Mercedes symbolize vanity and ignorance , while Thornton and his companions represent loyalty , purity , and love . Much of the imagery is stark and simple with an emphasis on images of cold , snow , ice , darkness , meat , and blood . London varied his prose style to reflect the action . He wrote in an over-affected style in his descriptions of Charles , Hal , and Mercedes ' camp as a reflection of their intrusion in the wilderness . Conversely when describing Buck and his actions , London wrote in a style that was pared down and simple -- a style that would influence and be the forebear of Hemingway 's style . The story was written as a frontier adventure and in such a way that it worked well as a serial . As Doctorow points out , it is good episodic writing that embodies the style of magazine adventure writing popular in that period . `` It leaves us with satisfaction at its outcome , a story well and truly told , '' he said .", "9": "Reception and legacy ( edit ) Cover of Classics Illustrated The Call of the Wild , published in 1952 The Call of the Wild was enormously popular from the moment it was published . H.L. Menken wrote of London 's story : `` No other popular writer of his time did any better writing than you will find in Call of the Wild . '' A reviewer for The New York Times wrote of it in 1903 : `` If nothing else makes Mr. London 's book popular , it ought to be rendered so by the complete way in which it will satisfy the love of dog fights apparently inherent in every man . '' The reviewer for The Atlantic Monthly wrote that it was a book : `` untouched by bookishness ... The making and the achievement of such a hero ( Buck ) constitute , not a pretty story at all , but a very powerful one . '' The book secured London a place in the canon of American literature . The first printing of 10,000 copies sold out immediately ; it is still one of the best known stories written by an American author , and continues to be read and taught in schools . It has been published in 47 languages . London 's first success , the book secured his prospects as a writer and gained him a readership that stayed with him throughout his career . After the success of The Call of the Wild London wrote to Macmillan in 1904 proposing a second book ( White Fang ) in which he wanted to describe the opposite of Buck : a dog that transforms from wild to tame : `` I 'm going to reverse the process ... Instead of devolution of decivilization ... I 'm going to give the evolution , the civilization of a dog . '' The first adaptation of London 's story was a silent film made in 1923 . The 1935 version starring Clark Gable and Loretta Young expanded John Thornton 's role and was the first `` talkie '' to feature the story . The 1972 movie The Call of the Wild , starring Charlton Heston as John Thornton , was filmed in Finland . The Snoopy TV special What a Nightmare , Charlie Brown ! is another adaptation . French Canadian film Director Christian Duguay has announced financing and distribution for a version of The Call of the Wild to be released in 2018 .", "10": "References ( edit ) Jump up ^ London 1998 , p. 4 .

Most modern scholars believe that the Satavahana rule began in the first century BCE and lasted until the second century CE , although some assign the beginning of their rule to as early as the 3rd century BCE . The Satavahana kingdom mainly comprised the present - day Telangana , Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra . At different times , their rule extended to parts of modern Gujarat , Madhya Pradesh , and Karnataka . The dynasty had different capital cities at different times , including Pratishthana ( Paithan ) and Amaravati ( Dharanikota ) .", "1": "The origin of the dynasty is uncertain , but according to the Puranas , their first king overthrew the Kanva dynasty . In the post-Maurya era , the Satavahanas established peace in the Deccan region , and resisted the onslaught of foreign invaders . In particular their struggles with the Saka Western Satraps went on for a long time . The dynasty reached its zenith under the rule of Gautamiputra Satakarni and his successor Vasisthiputra Pulamavi . The kingdom fragmented into smaller states by the early 3rd century CE . The Satavahanas were early issuers of Indian state coinage struck with images of their rulers . They formed a cultural bridge and played a vital role in trade and the transfer of ideas and culture to and from the Indo - Gangetic Plain to the southern tip of India . They supported Brahmanism as well as Buddhism , and patronised Prakrit literature .

Some of these debates have happened in the context of regionalism , with the present - day Andhra Pradesh , Maharashtra , Karnataka and Telangana being variously claimed as the original homeland of the Satavahanas .", "2": "Etymology According to one theory , the word `` Satavahana '' is a Prakrit form of the Sanskrit Sapta - Vahana ( `` driven by seven '' ; in Hindu mythology , the chariot of the sun god is drawn by seven horses ) . This would indicate that the Satavahanas originally claimed association with the legendary solar dynasty , as was common in ancient India . According to Inguva Kartikeya Sarma , the dynasty 's name is derived from the words sata ( `` sharpened '' , `` nimble '' or `` swift '' ) and vahana ( `` vehicle '' ) ; the expression thus means `` one who rides a nimble horse '' . Another theory connects their name to the earlier Satiyaputa dynasty . Yet another theory derives their name from the Munda words Sadam ( `` horse '' ) and Harpan ( `` son '' ) , implying `` son of the performer of a horse sacrifice '' . Several rulers of the dynasty bear the name or title `` Satakarni '' . Satavahana , Satakarni , Satakani and Shalivahana appear to be variations of the same word . Damodar Dharmanand Kosambi theorized that the word `` Satakarni '' is derived from the Munda words sada ( `` horse '' ) and kon ( `` son '' ) . The Puranas use the name `` Andhra '' or `` Andhra - Bhritya '' for the Satavahanas . The term `` Andhra '' may refer to ethnicity or territory of the dynasty ( see Original homeland below ) . It does not appear in the dynasty 's own records . Original homeland Cave No. 19 of Satavahana king Kanha at the Nasik caves , 1st century BCE . Krishna inscription of king Kanha in cave No. 19 , Nasik caves . This is the oldest known Satavahana inscription , circa 100 - 70 BCE . The use of the name `` Andhra '' in the Puranas has led some scholars to believe that the dynasty originated in the eastern Deccan region ( the historic Andhra region , present - day Andhra Pradesh and Telangana ) .", "3": "At Kotilingala in Telangana , coins bearing the legend `` Rano Siri Chimuka Satavahanasa '' were found . Epigraphist and numismastist P.V.P. Sastry initially identified Chimuka with the dynasty 's founder Simuka , because of which Kotilingala came to be known as the only place where coins attributed to Simuka were found . Coins attributed to Simuka 's successors Kanha and Satakarni I were also discovered at Kotilingla . Based on these discoveries , historians such as D.R. Reddy , S. Reddy and Shankar R. Goyal theorized that Kotlingala was the original home of the Satavahanas . However , the coin samples from Kotlingala are small , and it is not certain if these coins were minted there or reached there from somewhere else . Moreover , the identification of Chimuka of Kotilingala with the dynasty 's founder Simuka has been contested by several scholars including P.L. Gupta and I.K. Sarma , who identified Chimuka as a later ruler . P.V.P. Sastry also later changed his view , and stated that the two kings were different . As for the Puranas , these texts were compiled much later , during the Gupta period , and it is not certain if the Satavahanas were referred to as Andhras during their time . Naneghat inscription . Dated to 70 - 60 BCE , in the reign of Satakarni I . Another section of scholars believe that the Satavahanas originated in western Deccan ( present - day Maharashtra ) . All four extant inscriptions from the early Satavahana period ( c. 1st century BCE ) have been found in and around this region . The oldest known Satavahana inscription was found at Cave No. 19 of the Pandavleni Caves in Nashik district , and was issued during the reign of Kanha ( 100 - 70 BCE ) . An inscription found at Naneghat was issued by Nayanika ( or Naganika ) , the widow of Satakarni I ; another inscription found at Naneghat has been dated to the same period on a paleographic basis .", "4": "A slightly later inscription dated to the reign of Satakarni II has been found at Sanchi in Madhya Pradesh , located to the north of Maharashtra . The majority of the other Satavahana inscriptions have also been found in western Deccan . On the other hand , the epigraphic evidence from eastern Deccan does not mention the Satavahanas before the 4th century CE . At Nevasa , a seal and coins attributed to Kanha have been discovered . Coins attributed to Satakarni I have also been discovered at Nashik , Nevasa and Pauni in Maharashtra ( besides places in eastern Deccan and present - day Madhya Pradesh ) . Based on this evidence , some historians argue that the Satavahanas initially came to power in the area around their capital Pratishthana ( modern Paithan , Maharashtra ) and then expanded their territory to eastern Deccan . Carla Sinopoli cautions that the inference about the western Deccan origin of the Satavahanas is `` tentative at best '' given the small sample of early inscriptions . Kanha 's Pandavleni mentions the term maha - matra ( officer - in - charge ) , which indicates that the early Satavahanas followed the Mauryan administrative model . C. Margabandhu theorized that the Satavahanas were called Andhras because they were natives of eastern Deccan ( the Andhra region ) , although they first established their empire in western Deccan after having served as Mauryan subordinates . Himanshu Prabha Ray ( 1986 ) opposes this theory , stating that the Andhra was originally an ethnic term , and did not come to denote the geographical region of eastern Deccan until well after the Satavahana period . According to Vidya Dehejia , the writers of the Puranas ( which were compiled after the Satavahana period ) mistook the Satavahana presence in eastern Deccan as evidence for their origin in that region , and wrongly labeled them as `` Andhra '' . Some scholars also suggest that the dynasty originated in present - day Karnataka , and initially owed allegiance to some Andhra rulers ( because of which they were called Andhra - Bhrityas or `` servants of the Andhras '' .", "5": "V.S. Sukthankar theorized that the territorial division Satavahani - Satahani ( Satavahanihara or Satahani - rattha ) , in present - day Bellary district , was the homeland of the Satavahana family . A stupa in Kanaganahalli village of Karnataka , dated between the first century BCE and first century CE , features limestone panels depicting portraits of Chimuka ( Simuka ) , Satakani ( Satakarni ) and other Satavahana rulers . History Information about the Satavahanas comes from the Puranas , some Buddhist and Jain texts , the dynasty 's inscriptions and coins , and foreign ( Greek and Roman ) accounts that focus on trade . The information provided by these sources is not sufficient to reconstruct the dynasty 's history with absolute certainty . As a result , there are multiple theories about the Satavahana chronology . Foundation Satavahana depiction of the city of Kushinagar in the War over the Buddha 's Relics , South Gate , Stupa no . 1 , Sanchi . Simuka is mentioned as the first king in a list of royals in a Satavahana inscription at Naneghat . The various Puranas state that the first king of the dynasty ruled for 23 years , and mention his name variously as Sishuka , Sindhuka , Chhismaka , Shipraka , etc . These are believed to be corrupted spellings of Simuka , resulting from copying and re-copying of manuscripts . Simuka can not be dated with certainty based on available evidence . Based on the following theories , the beginning of the Satavahana rule is dated variously from 271 BCE to 30 BCE . According to the Puranas , the first Andhra king overthrew the Kanva rule . D.C. Sircar dated this event to c. 30 BCE , a theory supported by many other scholars . The Matsya Purana mentions that the Andhra dynasty ruled for around 450 years . As the Satavahana rule ended in the early 3rd century , the beginning of their rule can be dated to the 3rd century BCE .", "6": "The Indica of Megasthenes ( 350 -- 290 BCE ) mentions a powerful tribe named `` Andarae '' , whose king maintained an army of 100,000 infantry , 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 elephants . If Andarae is identified with the Andhras , this can be considered additional evidence of Satavahana rule starting in the 3rd century BCE . The Brahmanda Purana states that `` the four Kanvas will rule the earth for 45 years ; then ( it ) will again go to the Andhras '' . Based on this statement , the proponents of this theory argue that the Satavahana rule began immediately after the Maurya rule , followed by a Kanva interregnum , and then , a revival of the Satavahana rule . According to one version of the theory Simuka succeeded the Mauryans . A variation of the theory is that Simuka was the person who restored the Satavahana rule by overthrowing the Kanvas ; the compiler of the Puranas confused him with the founder of the dynasty . Most modern scholars believe that the Satavahana ruler began in the first century BCE and lasted until the second century CE . This theory is based on Puranic records as well as archaeological and numismatic evidence . The theory that dates their rule to an earlier period is now largely discredited because the various Puranas contradict each other , and are not fully supported by epigraphic or numismatic evidence . Early expansion Simuka was succeeded by his brother Kanha ( also known as Krishna ) , who extended the kingdom up to Nashik in the west . His successor Satakarni I conquered western Malwa , Anupa ( Narmada valley ) and Vidarbha , taking advantage of the turmoil caused by Greek invasions of northern India . He performed Vedic sacrifices including Ashvamedha and Rajasuya . Instead of the Buddhists , he patronised Brahmins and donated a substantial amount of wealth to them . The Hathigumpha inscription of the Kalinga king Kharavela mentions a king named `` Satakani '' or `` Satakamini '' , who some identify with Satakarni I . The inscription describes dispatching of an army and Kharavela 's threat to a city .", "7": "Since the inscription is only partially legible , different scholars interpret the events described in the inscription differently . According to R.D. Banerji and Sailendra Nath Sen , Kharavela sent out an army against Satakarni . According to Bhagwal Lal , Satakarni wanted to avoid an invasion of his kingdom by Kharavela . So , he sent horses , elephants , chariots and men to Kharavela as a tribute . According to Sudhakar Chattopadhyaya , Kharavela 's army diverted its course after failing to advance against Satakarni . According to Alain Daniélou , Kharavela was friendly with Satakarni , and only crossed his kingdom without any clashes . Satakarni 's successor Satakarni II ruled for 56 years , during which he captured eastern Malwa from the Shungas . He was succeeded by Lambodara . The coins of Lambodara 's son and successor Apilaka have been found in eastern Madhya Pradesh . Art of Sanchi In that period , the Satavahanas contributed greatly to the embellishment of the Buddhist stupa of Sanchi . It was heavily repaired under King Satakarni II . The gateways and the balustrade were built after 70 BCE , and appear to have been commissioned by the Satavahanas . An inscription on the Southern Gateway records that it was the work of Satakarni II 's royal architect Ananda . An inscription records the gift of one of the top architraves of the Southern Gateway by the artisans of the Satavahana Emperor Satakarni : Gift of Ananda , the son of Vasithi , the foreman of the artisans of rajan Siri Satakarni Sanchi under the Satavahanas 1st century BCE / CE . Architrave Architrave Yakshini . Pillar capital . Lion pillar capital . The Miracle of Walking in the air at Savrasti . Pipal tree . Miracle of the Buddha walking on the River Nairanjana Bimbisara with his royal cortege issuing from the city of Rajagriha to visit the Buddha .", "8": "Foreigners making a dedication to the Great Stupa at Sanchi . Procession of king Suddhodana from Kapilavastu . First Saka invasion Little is known about Apilaka 's successors , except cryptic references to one Kuntala Satakarni . The next well - known ruler of the dynasty was Hāla , who composed Gaha Sattasai in Maharashtri Prakrit . Like Hala , his four successors also ruled for very short periods ( a total of 12 years ) , indicating troubled times for the Satavahanas . Epigraphic and numismatic evidence suggests that the Satavahanas earlier controlled the northern Deccan plateau , the northern Konkan coastal plains , and the mountain passes connecting these two regions . During 15 - 40 CE , their northern neighbours - the Western Kshatrapas - extended their influence into these regions . The Western Kshatrapa ruler Nahapana is known to have ruled the former Satavahana territory , as attested by the inscriptions of his governor and son - in - law , Rishabhadatta . First revival A coin of Nahapana restruck by the Satavahana king Gautamiputra Satakarni . Nahapana 's profile and coin legend are still clearly visible . Satavahana architecture at Cave No. 3 of the Pandavleni Caves in Nashik . This cave was probably started during the reign of Gautamiputra Satakarni , and was finished and dedicated to the Buddhist Samgha during the reign of his son Vasishthiputra Pulumavi , crica 150 CE . The Satavahana power was revived by Gautamiputra Satakarni , who is considered the greatest of the Satavahana rulers . Charles Higham dates his reign c. 103 -- c. 127 CE . S. Nagaraju dates it 106 -- 130 CE . The king defeated by him appears to have been the Western Kshatrapa ruler Nahapana , as suggested by Nahapana 's coins overstuck with names and titles of Gautamiputra .", "9": "The Nashik prashasti inscription of Gautamiputra 's mother Gautami Balashri , dated to the 20th year after his death , records his achievements . The most liberal interpretation of the inscription suggests that his kingdom extended from the present - day Rajasthan in the north to Krishna river in the south , and from Saurashtra in the west to Kalinga in the east . He assumed the titles Raja - Raja ( King of Kings ) and Maharaja ( Great King ) , and was described as the Lord of Vindhya . During the last years of his reign , his administration was apparently handled by his mother , which could have been a result of an illness or military preoccupation . According to the Nasik inscription made by his mother Gautami Balashri , he was the one ... ... who crushed down the pride and conceit of the Kshatriyas ; who destroyed the Sakas ( Western Satraps ) , Yavanas ( Indo - Greeks ) and Pahlavas ( Indo - Parthians ) , ... who rooted out the Khakharata family ( the Kshaharata family of Nahapana ) ; who restored the glory of the Satavahana race . -- Inscription of Queen Mother Gautami Balashri at Cave No. 3 of the Pandavleni Caves in Nashik . Gautamiputra was succeeded by his son Vasisthiputra Sri Pulamavi ( or Pulumayi ) . According to Sailendra Nath Sen , Pulumavi ruled from 96 -- 119 CE . According to Charles Higham , he ascended the throne around 110 CE . Pulumavi features in a large number of Satavahana inscriptions and his coins have been found distributed over a wide area . This indicates that he maintained Gautamiputra 's territory , and ruled a prosperous kingdom . He is believed to have added the Bellary region to Satakarni 's kingdom . His coins featuring ships with double mast have been found on the Coromandel Coast , indicating involvement in maritime trade and naval power . The old stupa at Amaravati was renovated during his reign . Second Saka invasion Coin of Vashishtiputra Satakarni . Pulumavi 's successor was his brother Vashishtiputra Satakarni .", "10": "According to S.N. Sen he ruled during 120 -- 149 CE ; according to Charles Higham , his regnal years spanned 138 -- 145 CE . He entered into a marriage alliance with the Western Satraps , marrying the daughter of Rudradaman I . The Junagadh inscription of Rudradaman I states that he defeated Satakarni , the lord of Dakshinapatha ( Deccan ) , twice . It also states that he spared the life of the defeated ruler because of close relations : `` Rudradaman ( ... ) who obtained good report because he , in spite of having twice in fair fight completely defeated Satakarni , the lord of Dakshinapatha , on account of the nearness of their connection did not destroy him . '' -- Junagadh rock inscription According to D.R. Bhandarkar and Dineshchandra Sircar , the ruler defeated by Rudradaman was Gautamiputra Satakarni . However , E.J. Rapson believed that the defeated ruler was his son Vasishthiputra Pulumavi . Shailendra Nath Sen and Charles Higham believe that the defeated ruler was Vashishtiputra 's successor Shivaskanda or Shiva Sri Pulumayi ( or Pulumavi ) . As a result of his victories , Rudradaman regained all the former territories previously held by Nahapana , except for the extreme south territories of Pune and Nasik . Satavahana dominions were limited to their original base in the Deccan and eastern central India around Amaravati . Second revival Coin of Yajna Sri Satakarni , British Museum . Sri Yajna Sātakarni , the last person belonging to the main Satavahana dynastic line , briefly revived the Satavahana rule . According to S.N. Sen , he ruled during 170 -- 199 CE . Charles Higham dates the end of his reign to 181 CE . His coins feature images of ships , which suggest naval and marine trade success . Wide distribution of his coins , and inscriptions at Nashik , Kanheri and Guntur indicate that his rule extended over both eastern and western parts of Deccan .", "11": "He recovered much of the territory lost the Western Kshatrapas , and issued silver coinage , imitating them . During the last years of his reign , the Abhiras captured the northern parts of the kingdom , around Nashik region . Decline After Yajna Satakarni , the dynasty was soon extinguished following the rise of its feudatories , perhaps on account of a decline in central power . Yajna Sri was succeeded by Madhariputra Swami Isvarasena . The next king Vijaya ruled for 6 years . His son Vasishthiputra Sri Chadha Satakarni ruled for 10 years . Pulumavi IV , the last king of the main line , ruled until c. 225 CE . During his reign , several Buddhist monuments were constructed at Nagarjunakonda and Amaravati . Madhya Pradesh was also part of his kingdom . After the death of Pulumavi IV , the Satavahana empire fragmented into five smaller kingdoms : Northern part , ruled by a collateral branch of the Satavahanas ( which ended in early 4th century ) Western part around Nashik , ruled by the Abhiras Eastern part ( Krishna - Guntur region ) , ruled by the Andhra Ikshvakus South - western parts ( northern Karanataka ) , ruled by the Chutus of Banavasi South - eastern part , ruled by the Pallavas Territorial extent The Satavahana territory included northern Deccan region , spanning the present - day Andhra Pradesh , Maharashtra and Telangana states . At times , their rule also extended to present - day Gujarat , Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh . The Nashik prashasti inscription issued by Gautami Balashri , the mother of Gautamiputra Satakarni , claims that her son ruled an extensive territory that stretched from Gujarat in the north to northern Karnataka in the south . It is not clear if Gautamiputra had effective control over these claimed territories . In any case , historical evidence suggests that his control over these territories did not last long . Moreover , this realm was not continuous : many areas in this region remained under the control of the hunter - gatherers and other tribal communities . The Satavahana capital kept shifting with time .", "12": "The Nashik inscription describes Gautamiputra as the lord of Benakataka , suggesting that this was the name of his capital . Ptolemy ( 2nd century CE ) mentioned Pratishthana ( modern Paithan ) as the capital of Pulumavi . At other times , the Satavahana capitals included Amaravati ( Dharanikota ) and Junnar . M.K. Dhavalikar theorized that the original Satavahana capital was located at Junnar , but had to be moved to Pratishthana because of Saka - Kushana incursions from the north - west . Several Satavahana - era inscriptions record grants to religious monasteries . The settlements most frequently mentioned as the residences of donors in these inscriptions include the sea ports of Sopara , Kalyan , Bharucha , Kuda ( unidentified ) , and Chaul . The most frequently mentioned inland settlements include Dhenukakata ( unidentified ) , Junnar , Nashik , Paithan , and Karadh . Other important Satavahana sites in western Deccan include Govardhana , Nevasa , Ter , and Vadgaon - Madhavpur . The ones in eastern Deccan include Amaravati , Dhulikatta , Kotalingala and Peddabankur . Administration The Satavahanas followed the administration guidelines of the Shastras . Their government was less top - heavy than that of the Mauryans , and featured several levels of feudatories : Rajan , the hereditary rulers Rajas , petty princes who struck coins in their own names Maharathis , hereditary lords who could grant villages in their own names and maintained matrimonial relations with the ruling family Mahabhojas Mahasenapati ( civil administrator under Pulumavi II ; governor of a janapada under Pulumavi IV ) Mahatalavara ( `` great watchman '' ) The royal princes ( kumaras ) were appointed as viceroys of the provinces . The ahara appears to have been the largest geographical subdivision of the Satavahana polity . Several inscriptions refer to aharas named after the governors appointed to rule them ( e.g.", "13": "Govardhanahara , Mamalahara , Satavanihara and Kapurahara ) . This suggests that the Satavahanas attempted to build a formal administrative and revenue collection structure . The inscriptions of Gautamiputra Satakarni suggest the existence of a bureaucratic structure , although it is not certain how stable and effective this structure was . For example , two inscriptions from Nashik Cave 11 record donations of agricultural land to ascetic communities . They state that the ascetics would enjoy tax exemption and non-interference from the royal officials . The first inscription states that the grant was approved by Gautamiputra 's minister Sivagupta on the king 's verbal orders , and preserved by the `` great lords '' . The second inscription records a grant by Gautamiputra and his mother , and mentions Syamaka as the minister of the Govardhana ahara . It states that the charter was approved by a woman named Lota , who according to archaeologist James Burgess ' interpretation , was the chief lady - in - waiting of Gautamiputra 's mother . The Satavahana - era inscriptions mention three types of settlements : nagara ( city ) , nigama ( market town ) and gama ( village ) . Economy Indian ship on lead coin of Vasisthiputra Sri Pulamavi , testimony to the naval , seafaring and trading capabilities of the Satavahanas during the 1st -- 2nd century CE . The Satavahanas participated in ( and benefited from ) economic expansion through intensification of agriculture , increased production of other commodities , and trade within and beyond the Indian subcontinent . During the Satavahana period , several large settlements emerged in the fertile areas , especially along the major rivers . The amount of land under agricultural use also expanded significantly , as a result of forest clearance and construction of irrigation reservoirs . The exploitation of sites with mineral resources may have increased during the Satavahana period , leading to the emergence of new settlements in these areas . Such sites facilitated commerce and crafts ( such as ceramic ware ) . The increased craft production during the Satavahana period is evident from archaeological discoveries at sites such as Kotalingala , as well as epigraphic references to artisans and guilds .", "14": "The Satavahanas controlled the Indian sea coast , and as a result , they dominated the growing Indian trade with the Roman Empire . The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea mentions two important Satavahana trade centres : Pratishthana and Tagara . Other important urban centres included Kondapur , Banavasi and Madhavpur . Nanaghat was the site of an important pass that linked the Satavahana capital Pratishthana to the sea . Religion The Pompeii Lakshmi ivory statuette was found in the ruin of Pompeii ( destroyed in an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE ) . It is thought to have come from Bhokardan in the Satavahana realm in the first half of the 1st century CE . It testifies to Indo - Roman trade relations in the beginning of our era . The Satavahanas were Hindus and claimed Brahmanical status , although they also made generous donations to Buddhist monasteries . The lay people in the Satavahana period generally did not exclusively support a particular religious group . The Naneghat inscription of Nayanika , recorded on the walls of a Buddhist monastic cave , mentions that her husband Satakarni I performed several Vedic sacrifices , including ashvamedha ( horse sacrifice ) , rajasuya ( royal consecration ) , and agnyadheya ( fire ceremony ) . The inscription also records subsantial fees paid to Brahmin priests and attendees for these sacrifices . For example , 10,001 cows were granted for the Bhagala - Dasaratra sacrifice ; and 24,400 coins were granted for another sacrifice , whose name is not clear . In the Nashik inscription of Gautami Balashri , her son Gautamiputra Satakarni is called `` ekabamhana '' , which is interpreted by some as `` unrivaled Brahmana '' , thus indicating a Brahmin origin . However , R.G. Bhandarkar interprets this word as `` the only protector of the Brahmins '' . A number of Buddhist monastic sites emerged in the Deccan region during the Satavahana period . However , the exact relations between these monasteries and the Satavahana government is not clear .", "15": "The Pandavleni Caves inscription issued during the reign of Kanha states that the cave was excavated by maha - matra ( officer - in - charge ) of the shramanas ( non-Vedic ascetics ) . Based on this , Sudhakar Chattopadhyaya concludes that Kanha favoured Buddhism , and had an administrative department dedicated to the welfare of Buddhist monks . However , Carla M. Sinopoli notes that although there are some records of donations to the Buddhist monasteries by the Satavahana royals , the vast majority of the donations were made by the non-royals . The most common among these donors were merchants , and many of the monasteries were located along the important trade routes . The merchants probably donated to the monasteries , because these sites facilitated trade by serving as rest houses , and possibly by directly participating in the trade . The monasteries appear to have been an important venue for displaying charitable donations , including the donations made to non-Buddhists ( especially Brahmins ) . Inscriptions The inscription on the Southern Gateway at Sanchi mentioning `` Gift of Ananda , the son of Vasithi , the foreman of the artisans of rajan Siri Satakarni '' ( the inscription is written in three lines over the dome of the stupa in this relief ) . Circa 50 BCE - 0 CE . Several Brahmi script inscriptions are available from the Satavahana period , but most of these record donations to Buddhist institutions by individuals , and do not provide much information about the dynasty . The inscriptions issued by the Satavahana royals themselves also primarily concern religious donations , although some of them provide some information about the rulers and the imperial structure . The earliest extant Satavahana inscription is from Nashik Cave 19 , which states that the cave was commissioned by Mahamatra Saman of Nashik during the reign of king Kanha . At Naneghat , an inscription issued by Nayanika , the widow of Satakarni I , has been found . It records Nayanika 's lineage and mentions the Vedic sacrifices performed by the royal family . Another inscription at Naneghat comprises names of Satavahana royals , appearing as labels over their bas - relief portraits .", "16": "The portraits are now completely eroded , but the inscription is believed to be contemporary to Nayanika 's inscription on a paleographic basis . The next oldest Satavahana - era inscription appears on a sculpted gateway element of Stupa 1 at Sanchi . It states that the element was donated by Ananda , who was the son of Siri Satakarni 's foreman of artisans . This inscription is probably from the reign of Satakarni II . Coinage The Satavahanas are among the earliest Indian rulers to issue their own coins with portraits of their rulers , starting with king Gautamiputra Satakarni , a practice derived from that of the Western Kshatrapas he defeated , itself originating with the Indo - Greek kings to the northwest . Thousands of lead , copper and potin Satavahana coins have been discovered in the Deccan region ; a few gold and silver coins are also available . These coins do not feature uniform design or size , and suggest that multiple minting locations existed within the Satavahana territory , leading to regional differences in coinage . The coin legends of the Satavahanas , in all areas and all periods , used a Prakrit dialect without exception . Some reverse coin legends are in Tamil , and Telugu languages . Several coins carry titles or matronyms that were common to multiple rulers ( e.g. Satavahana , Satakarni , and Pulumavi ) , so the number of rulers attested by coinage can not be determined with certainty . The names of 16 to 20 rulers appear on the various coins . Some of these rulers appear to be local elites rather than the Satavahana monarchs . The Satavahana coins give unique indications as to their chronology , language , and even facial features ( curly hair , long ears and strong lips ) . They issued mainly lead and copper coins ; their portrait - style silver coins were usually struck over coins of the Western Kshatrapa kings . The Satavahana coins also display various traditional symbols , such as elephants , lions , horses and chaityas ( stupas ) , as well as the `` Ujjain symbol '' , a cross with four circles at the end .", "17": "Early Satavahana coinage , Satakarni issue , Maharashtra -- Vidarbha type , 1st century BCE . Satavahana 1st century BCE coin inscribed in Brahmi : `` ( Sataka ) Nisa '' . British Museum Coin of Gautamiputra Yajna Satakarni ( r . 167 -- 196 CE ) . Cultural achievements The Satavahanas patronised the Prakrit language instead of Sanskrit . The Satavahana king Hāla is famous for compiling the collection of Maharashtri poems known as the Gaha Sattasai ( Sanskrit : Gāthā Saptashatī ) , although from linguistic evidence it seems that the work now extant must have been re-edited in the succeeding century or two . Through this book , it was evident that agriculture was the main means of livelihood . Also many sorts of superstitions had prevailed . Additionally , Gunadhya , the minister of Hala , was the author of Brihatkatha . Sculptures Madhukar Keshav Dhavalikar writes that `` The Satavahana sculptures unfortunately has never been recognized as an independent school in spite of the fact it has its own distinctive characteristic features . The earliest in point of time is that in the Bhaja Vihara cave which marks the beginning of sculptural art in the Satavahana dominion around 200BC . It is profusely decorated with carvings , and even pillars have a lotus capital crowned with sphinx - like mythic animals . '' Dhavalikar also writes that in Chankama `` the panel occurring on the west pillar of Northern Gateway portrays a very important event in Buddha 's life . It depicts votaries , two each on either side of what looks like a ladder which actually is the promenade which Buddha is supposed to have walked . It is said that Buddha , after attaining Enlightment , spent four weeks near the Bodhi tree . Of these , the third week he spent walking along the promenade ( chankama ) to and fro . ''", "18": "Along with some of the above major Satavahana sculptures some more sculptures existed -- namely , Dvarapala , Gajalaksmi , Shalabhanjikas , Royal Procession , Decorative pillar , etc . Bronze Royal earrings , Andhra Pradesh , 1st Century BCE . Several metal figurines are found that could be attributed to the Satavahanas . A hoard of unique bronze objects were also found from Bramhapuri . Numerous articles obtained from there were Indian but also reflected Roman and Italian influence . A small statue of Poseidon , wine jugs , and a plaque depicting Perseus and Andromeda were also obtained from the house from where the objects were found . The fine elephant in the Ashmolean Museum , the Yaksi image in the British Museum , and the cornucopia found in Posheri , kept at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya can also be attributed to the Satavahana period . Architecture Sculptures of Amravati represent the architectural development of the Satavahana periods . They built Buddhist stupas in Amravati ( 95 feet high ) . They also constructed a large number of stupas at Goli , Jaggiahpeta , Gantasala , Amravati Bhattiprolu , and Shri Parvatam . Caves IX and X , containing Ajanta paintings , were patronized by Satavahana , and the painting throughout the caves appear to have started with them . Ashokan Stupas were enlarged , the earlier bricks and wood works being replaced with stone works . The most famous of these monuments are the stupas , the most famous among them being the Amravati Stupa and the Nagarjunakonda Stupa . Paintings The Satavahana paintings are the earliest surviving specimens -- excluding prehistoric -- in India , and they are to be found only at the Ajanta . There were two phases of artistic activity of Ajanta : the first occurring in the 2nd to 1st centuries BC , when Hinayana caves were excavated during Satavahana rule ; the later in the second half of the 5th century under the Vakatakas .", "19": "Vagaries of nature and some vandalism have taken a heavy toll on the Ajanta Caves . Only a few fragments related to the Satavahanas have survived in Caves No. 9 and 10 , both of which are chaitya - grihas with stupas . The most important surviving painting of the Satavahana period at Ajanta is the Chhadanta Jataka in Cave No. 10 , but that , too , is only fragmentary . It is a painting of an elephant named Bodhisattva with six tusks , related to a mythological story . The human figures , both male and female , are typically Satavahanas , almost identical with their counterparts on the Sanchi Gateways so far as their physiognomy , costumes , and jewellery are concerned . The only difference is that the Sanchi figures have shed some of their weight . Art of Amaravati The Satavahana rulers are also remarkable for their contributions to Buddhist art and architecture . They built great stupas in the Krishna River Valley , including the stupa at Amaravati in Andhra Pradesh . The stupas were decorated in marble slabs and sculpted with scenes from the life of the Buddha , portrayed in a characteristic slim and elegant style . The Amaravati style of sculpture also influenced the sculpture of Southeast Asia . Amaravati Marbles , fragments of Buddhist stupa Fragment of Amaravati stupa Mara 's assault on the Buddha , 2nd century , Amaravati Ajanta Cave No. 9 , possibly of Satavahana era Scroll supported by Indian Yaksha , Amaravati , 2nd -- 3rd century CE . List of rulers Multiple Puranas contain chronology of Satavahana kings . However , there are inconsistencies among the various Puranas over the number of kings in the dynasty , the names of the kings , and the length of their rule . In addition , some of the kings listed in the Puranas are not attested via archaeological and numismatic evidence . Similarly , there are some kings known from coins and inscriptions , whose names are not found in the Puranic lists . The reconstructions of the Satavahana kings by historians fall into two categories .", "20": "According to the first one , 30 Satavahana kings ruled for around 450 years , starting from Simuka 's rule immediately after the fall of the Mauryan empire . This view relies heavily on the Puranas , and is now largely discredited . According to the second ( and more widely accepted ) category of reconstructions , the Satavahana rule started in around first century BCE . The chronologies in this category contain a smaller number of kings , and combine Puranic records with archaeological , numismatic and textual evidence . Because of uncertainty regarding the establishment date of the Satavahana kingdom , it is difficult to give absolute dates for the reigns of the Satavahana kings . Therefore , many modern scholars do not assign absolute dates to the reigns of the historically attested Satavahana kings , and those who do vary greatly with each other . Himanshu Prabha Ray provides the following chronology , based on archaeological and numismatic evidence : Simuka ( before 100 BCE ) Kanha ( 100 -- 70 BCE ) Satakarni I ( 70 -- 60 BCE ) Satakarni II ( 50 -- 25 BCE ) Kshatrapa interregnum with vassal Satavahana kings like Hāla Nahapana ( 54 - 100 CE ) Gautamiputra Satakarni ( 86 -- 110 CE ) Pulumavi ( 110 -- 138 CE ) Vashishtiputra Satakarni ( 138 -- 145 CE ) Shiva Shri Pulumavi ( 145 -- 152 CE ) Shiva Skanda Satakarni ( 145 -- 152 CE ) Yajna Shri Satakarni ( 152 -- 181 CE ) Vijaya Satakarni Regional rulers of south - eastern Deccan : Chandra Shri Pulumavi II Abhira Isvasena Madhariputra Sakasena Haritiputra Satakarni Puranic lists The various Puranas give different lists of the Satavahana rulers .", "21": "The Matsya Purana states that 30 Andhra kings ruled for 460 years , but some of its manuscripts name only 19 kings whose reigns add up to 448.5 years . The Vayu Purana also mentions that there were 30 Andhra kings , but its various manuscripts name only 17 , 18 , and 19 kings respectively ; the reigns add up to 272.5 , 300 , and 411 years respectively . Many of thse kings are not attested by historical evidence . On the other hand , some Satavahana kings attested by numismatic evidence ( such as Rudra Satakarni ) are not mentioned in the Puranas at all . Different scholars have explained these anamolies in different ways . Scholars such as R.G. Bhandarkar , D.C. Sircar and H.C. Raychaudhuri theorized that the Vayu Purana mentions only the main imperial branch of the dynasty , while the Matsya Purana puts together princes of all its branches . The names of the Andhra kings ( in IAST ) , as mentioned in the various Puranas , are given below . These names vary across different manuscripts of the same Puranas , and some names are missing in some of the manuscripts . The list given below for each Purana contains the most exhaustive version . In the Puranas , Krishna ( IAST : Kṛṣṇa ) is described as brother of the first king , who overthrew the Kanva king Susharman . All other kings are described as sons of their predecessors . The first king of the Andhra - Bhrityas is also known as Shudraka or Suraka in the Kumarika Khanda of Skanda Purana ( not present in the table below ) .

McCampbell , the film is about the sheriff of the town of Rio Bravo , Texas , who arrests the brother of a powerful local rancher to help his drunken deputy / friend . With the help of a cripple and a young gunfighter , they hold off the rancher 's gang . Rio Bravo was filmed on location at Old Tucson Studios outside Tucson , Arizona , in Technicolor .

Joe Burdette ( Claude Akins ) , brother of rancher Nathan Burdette , watches as a barfly ( Myron Healey ) , tosses a silver dollar into a spittoon . Presidio County , Texas , Sheriff John T. Chance ( John Wayne ) appears and kicks the spittoon away , looking at Dude with disgust . Dude is shamed by his plight and takes out his anger on Chance , knocking him out with an ax handle . Joe begins punching Dude , then shoots and kills an unarmed bystander who tries to intervene . Joe heads to his brother 's saloon , where a bloody Chance comes to arrest him for the murder of the bystander . Another patron draws his gun on Chance , but Dude shoots the gun out of the man 's hand . Joe is locked up in the local jail . Chance is willing to deputize Dude , provided he can stay sober . Both remember how good with a gun Dude used to be . Chance 's friend Pat Wheeler ( Ward Bond ) and his wagon train of supplies stop in town , with a young gunslinger , Colorado Ryan ( Ricky Nelson ) , riding guard . Inside the jail , Stumpy ( Walter Brennan ) , Chance 's game - legged deputy , keeps watch over the jail and Joe , who knows that Stumpy holds an old grudge against Joe 's wealthy and powerful brother . Joe warns his jailers that Nathan Burdette will not like how his brother is being treated . A mysterious woman nicknamed Feathers ( Angie Dickinson ) is in the saloon , playing poker . In the meantime , Dude and Chance patrol the town .", "2": "Hotel owner Carlos ( Pedro Gonzalez - Gonzalez ) stops the sheriff , saying Wheeler has been talking too much about Chance needing help . In the saloon , Chance implores Wheeler to stop , as it will draw attention from the wrong people . Wheeler suggests that Colorado could be of assistance , but Colorado politely declines , saying he wants to `` mind my own business '' . Colorado also promises not to start any trouble without telling the sheriff first . Feathers leaves the poker game a winner . Chance follows her up to her room and confronts her as a card cheat , with his evidence three missing aces from the deck of cards being used in the game and a handbill indicating she is wanted for card cheating . Colorado intervenes , saying another participant in the game is the real cheat . They confront the card cheat and prove his guilt . Chance refuses to apologize to Feathers for doing his job , but is no longer in a hurry to make her leave town . As Wheeler is walking back to the hotel , he is shot dead by a Burdette man hiding in the stable . Colorado offers to help , but is angrily turned away by Chance , who says , `` You had a chance to get in this and you did n't want it . '' Chance and Dude flush out the shooter , who escapes into Nathan 's saloon after Dude wounds him . Dude believes the man has muddy boots , but everyone in the bar has clean boots . Two of Burdette 's men suggest Dude needs a drink and one throws a silver dollar into a spittoon . The bartender puts a beer on the bar , but Dude notices blood dripping into the glass from above . He turns , fires , and kills the shooter . Chance goes back to the hotel to sleep . Without his knowledge , Feathers stands guard at the door to keep him safe , then returns to her room when he awakens . Chance discovers what she did and advises that she should leave on the next stagecoach . Nathan Burdette ( John Russell ) arrives in town with his men , intent on seeing his brother Joe . Dude is standing guard and confiscating all guns . One of Burdette 's men ignores him until Dude cuts one of his horse 's reins with a single shot . Nathan agrees to turn in their guns until they leave .", "3": "Carlos says Feathers will not get on the stagecoach . She tells the sheriff she does not want to leave , then gives him a kiss . He indicates if he were not in such a fix at the jail , things between them might be different . Colorado visits the jail to tell Chance the meaning of a song , `` Degüello '' , or `` The Cutthroat Song '' , that Nathan is paying men to play at his saloon . The song , reported to have been played by Antonio López de Santa Anna 's men at the siege of the Alamo , indicates that `` no quarter '' will be given to one 's enemy , no mercy . Dude is trying hard to stay sober . He is given back his guns ( the ones he had before he left town , sold by Dude , but bought back by Chance ) , as well as some clothes he left behind . The next morning , while Dude is standing guard at the town entryway , four Burdette men attack him from behind and tie him up in a stable . Others get the drop on Chance , whose rifle is just out of reach . From inside the hotel , acting on Colorado 's instructions , Feathers throws a flower pot through a window a moment after Colorado steps out on the porch , distracting the Burdette men . Colorado quickly throws Chance 's rifle to him and the two men shoot the three Burdette hands . Chance decides to have his men hole up in the jail , as it will take several more days for the United States Marshal to arrive to take Joe to the Presidio . Dude 's nerves are shot , but as he is about to take a drink , the sound of `` The Cutthroat Song '' played by Burdette 's musicians steels his resolve . He and Chance go to the hotel to round up additional supplies , but Carlos and Consuela are captured by Burdette 's men , who trick Chance into charging and falling over a rope tied at the bottom of the stairs . Dude and Feathers are unable to help . Chance is ordered to take the men to the jail to let Joe go . He is reluctant to do so , but Dude implores Chance to cooperate , saying that Stumpy is alone and has no food or water to hold out very long .", "4": "The remaining Burdette men at the hotel take Dude hostage and Nathan Burdette offers to trade him later for Joe . Stumpy opens fire at the jail , holding off Burdette 's men . Chance and Colorado then take Joe to make the trade for Dude at a warehouse , leaving Stumpy behind because of his bad leg . During the trade , walking in opposite directions , Dude tackles Joe and they scuffle while a gunfight erupts . Stumpy turns up and helps even the odds . Dude overpowers Joe . The lawmen throw dynamite sticks at the warehouse where Burdette and his men are based , shooting the sticks to explode them . After a few explosions rock the warehouse , the criminals surrender . All is quiet in town as Chance gets reacquainted with Feathers , who models a skimpy new costume she will be wearing in her new job singing at the hotel . After a pair of sheer tights comes floating from a window to the street , a delighted Stumpy retrieves it , but Dude cautions him to mind his own business . Cast ( edit ) John Wayne and Angie Dickinson in Rio Bravo John Wayne as John T. Chance Dean Martin as Dude Ricky Nelson as Colorado / Ryan Angie Dickinson as Feathers Walter Brennan as Stumpy Ward Bond as Pat Wheeler John Russell as Nathan Burdette Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez as Carlos Robante Estelita Rodriguez as Consuela Robante Claude Akins as Joe Burdette Joseph Shimada as Burt Malcolm Atterbury and Harry Carey Jr. also receive a screen credit in the film 's opening , but their scenes were deleted from the final film . Production ( edit ) Ricky Nelson performing the song `` Get Along Home , Cindy '' in Rio Bravo Exteriors for the film were shot at Old Tucson Studios , just outside Tucson . Filming took place in the summer of 1958 , and the movie 's credits gave 1958 as the year of production , although the film was not released until 1959 . Rio Bravo is generally regarded as one of Hawks ' best , and is notable for its long opening scene which contains no dialogue . The film received favorable reviews , and was successful , taking in over US $ 5.5 million . The musical score was composed by Dimitri Tiomkin .", "5": "His score includes the hauntingly ominous `` El Degüello '' theme , which is heard several times . The Colorado character identifies the tune as `` The Cutthroat Song '' . He relates that the song was played on the orders of General Antonio López de Santa Anna to the Texans holed up in the Alamo , to signify that no quarter would be given to them . The tune was used the following year in Wayne 's film , The Alamo . Composer Ennio Morricone recalled that director Sergio Leone asked him to write `` Dimitri Tiomkin music '' for A Fistful of Dollars . The trumpet theme is similar to Tiomkin 's `` Degüello '' ( the Italian title of Rio Bravo was Un dollaro d'onore , A Dollar of Honor ) . Because the film starred a crooner , Martin , and a teen idol , Nelson , Hawks included three songs in the soundtrack . Before the big showdown , in the jail house , Martin sings `` My Rifle , My Pony , and Me '' ( which contained new lyrics to a Tiomkin tune that appeared in Red River ) accompanied by Nelson , after which Nelson sings a brief version of `` Get Along Home , Cindy '' , accompanied by Martin and Brennan . Over the closing credits , Martin , backed by the Nelson Riddle Orchestra , sings a specially composed song , `` Rio Bravo '' , written by Tiomkin with lyrics by Paul Francis Webster . Nelson later paid homage to both the film and his character , Colorado , by including the song `` Restless Kid '' on his 1959 LP , Ricky Sings Again . Members of the Western Writers of America chose `` My Rifle , My Pony , and Me '' as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time . A brief clip from Rio Bravo was among the archive footage later incorporated into the opening sequence of Wayne 's last film , The Shootist , to illustrate the backstory of Wayne 's character . High Noon debate ( edit ) The film was made as a response to High Noon , which is sometimes thought to be an allegory for blacklisting in Hollywood , as well as a critique of McCarthyism . Wayne would later call High Noon `` un-American '' and say he did not regret helping run the writer , Carl Foreman , out of the country .", "6": "Director Howard Hawks went on the record to criticize High Noon by saying , `` I did n't think a good sheriff was going to go running around town like a chicken with his head cut off asking for help , and finally his Quaker wife had to save him . '' According to film historian Emanuel Levy , Wayne and Hawks teamed up deliberately to rebut High Noon by telling a somewhat similar story their own way : portraying a hero who does not show fear or inner conflict and who never repudiates his commitment to public duty , while only allying himself with capable people , despite offers of help from many other characters . In Rio Bravo , Chance is surrounded by allies -- a deputy who is brave and good with a gun , despite recovering from alcoholism ( Dude ) , a young untried but self - assured gunfighter ( Colorado ) , a limping `` crippled '' old man who is doggedly loyal ( Stumpy ) , a Mexican innkeeper ( Carlos ) , his wife ( Consuela ) , and an attractive young woman ( Feathers ) -- and repeatedly turns down aid from anyone he does not think is capable of helping him , though in the final shootout they come to help him anyway . `` Who 'll turn up next ? '' Wayne asks amid the gunfire , to which Colorado replies : `` Maybe the girl with another flower pot . '' Reception ( edit ) In the United Kingdom , Rio Bravo was not originally even reviewed for Sight & Sound ; in August 1976 , Leslie Halliwell gave the film two out of four stars , describing it as a `` cheerfully overlong and slow - moving Western '' that was nevertheless `` very watchable for those with time to spare '' . The film was taken more seriously by independent British critics such as Robin Wood , who rated it as his top film of all time and wrote a book on it in 2003 for the British Film Institute , publishers of Sight & Sound . It now has a 100 % Rotten Tomatoes rating and was the second highest - ranking Western in the 2012 Sight & Sound critics ' poll of the greatest films ever made . In 2008 , the American Film Institute nominated this film for its Top 10 Western Films list . Remakes and inspirations ( edit ) Remakes ( edit ) Howard Hawks went on to make two loose variations of Rio Bravo , on both occasions under a different title .", "7": "Both of these remakes were directed by Hawks , both starred John Wayne , and in each case , the script was written by Leigh Brackett . All involve lawmen working against an entrenched criminal element , partially by `` holing up '' in their jailhouses . The first remake , El Dorado , was filmed in 1966 , but its release was held up by Paramount until the late summer of 1967 . In this film , Robert Mitchum played the Dean Martin role , Arthur Hunnicutt the Walter Brennan character , and James Caan the Ricky Nelson role . Hawks again named the Nelson / Caan character after a state ( in this case , Mississippi ) and in a wry , humorous twist on the original film , Hawks made him inept with firearms , but skilled with a knife . The second remake , Rio Lobo , was made in 1970 with a plot much further off the original mold , starting with the absence of a lawman - turned - drunkard character . This began with a Confederate train robbery of a Union gold shipment during the American Civil War , then moved to a postwar Texas county thoroughly controlled by a rich , arrogant rancher . The heroes , with the exception of an old man similar to Brennan and Hunnicutt 's characters in the previous pictures ( Jack Elam here ) , were complete outsiders . Along with Wayne and Elam , this movie starred Mexican film star Jorge Rivero ( as Frenchie ) , Christopher Mitchum ( Robert Mitchum 's son ) , and Jennifer O'Neill . Inspirations ( edit ) Feathers ' dialogue was occasionally inspired by the character of `` Slim '' ( Lauren Bacall ) in the 1944 To Have and Have Not , as when , after the first kiss , she says : `` It 's better when two people do it , '' recalling the phrase `` It 's even better when you help ; '' and again later when she says , `` I 'm hard to get -- you 're going to have to say you want me , '' recalling Slim 's `` I 'm hard to get , Steve -- all you have to do is ask me . '' L'homme à l'étoile d'argent ( The Man with the Silver Star ) , a 1969 album from the French comics series Lt. Blueberry was directly inspired by Rio Bravo . The plot is virtually the same .", "8": "Blueberry plays the role of sheriff John T. Chance ; McClure , a whiskey - adoring old man , combines the roles of Dude and Stumpy ; Dusty plays the role of Colorado ; Miss March , the teacher , plays the role of a less morally challenged Feathers ; and instead of the Burdettes , it has the Bass brothers . John Carpenter 's 1976 film Assault on Precinct 13 , though not a remake of Rio Bravo , was inspired by the film . Carpenter borrowed some elements from the earlier film 's plot , but set it in 1970s Los Angeles . He also paid homage to the original film by using the pseudonym `` John T. Chance '' , the name of Wayne 's character , for his editing credit . This film was also remade in 2005 by Jean - Francois Richet , starring Ethan Hawke , Laurence Fishburne , Gabriel Byrne , Maria Bello , Drea de Matteo , John Leguizamo , Brian Dennehy , and Ja Rule , moving the film 's setting to Detroit . Ghosts of Mars , a 2001 film also by Carpenter , retains many of the elements that were developed in Rio Bravo and Assault on Precinct 13 , but takes place in a science - fiction setting . The Nest , a 2002 film by Florent Emilio Siri , starring Samy Naceri , Benoît Magimel , Nadia Farès , Pascal Greggory , and Sami Bouajila , is a quasi-remake of Assault on Precinct 13 . Borrachón : A Prequel to Rio Bravo , by Kevin Cullen , 2016 . This book is a prequel to the Rio Bravo story and film and provides the complete background leading up to the classic tale .", "9": "Music ( edit ) `` My Rifle , My Pony and Me '' -- sung by Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson `` Cindy '' -- sung by Ricky Nelson , Dean Martin and Walter Brennan `` Rio Bravo '' -- sung by Dean Martin ( end credits ) Comic book adaption ( edit ) Dell Four Color # 1018 ( June 1959 ) See also ( edit ) List of American films of 1959 John Wayne filmography El Dorado ( 1966 ) Rio Lobo ( 1970 ) References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` 1959 : Probable Domestic Take '' , Variety , 6 January 1960 p. 34 .

Perry played college football for Clemson University , and was recognized as an All - American . He was selected in the first round of the 1985 NFL Draft , and played professionally for the Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL . In reference to his imposing size , he was popularly known as `` The Refrigerator '' or , abbreviated , `` The Fridge . '' Perry also occasionally played at fullback at the goal line due to his size and power .", "1": "Contents ( hide ) 1 Early years 2 College career 3 Professional career 4 Beyond football 4.1 Business ventures 4.2 Music 4.3 Media appearances 4.4 Trivia 5 Personal life 6 References 7 External links Early years ( edit ) Perry was born in Aiken , South Carolina . He has stated in an interview that `` Even when I was little , I was big '' ; by the time he was 11 years old , he weighed 200 pounds . Frequently ridiculed for his weight while growing up , Perry took advantage of his athleticism to silence his critics . He attended Aiken High School and played as a 295 - pound nose guard on the school 's football team and ran on its track team . During an exercise in which his coach instructed all of his fastest players to line up for a 100 - yard dash , Perry joined the group of running backs , wide receivers and defensive backs and eventually was timed as the 6th fastest runner on the entire team , with a time of 11.00 seconds flat . He was also able to run the 100 meters under 12 seconds , and competed in the shot put event , recording a top - throw of 16.44 m ( 53 ft 11 in ) . He could also execute 360 - degree dunks on regulation basketball hoops and perform complicated dives into the swimming pool . College career ( edit ) Perry 's athletic performances earned him a full - ride scholarship to attend Clemson University in Clemson , South Carolina , where he played for coach Danny Ford 's Clemson Tigers football team from 1981 to 1984 . He was a member of a national championship team in 1981 , and was recognized as a consensus first - team All - American as a junior in 1983 . As a freshman in 1981 , he earned his `` refrigerator '' nickname when a fellow player could barely squeeze into an elevator with Perry and their laundry which they were taking to be washed . The player , Ray Brown , said `` Man , you 're about as big as a refrigerator . '' Professional career ( edit ) In 1985 , he was selected in the first round of the 1985 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears ; he had been hand - picked by coach Mike Ditka .", "2": "However , defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan , who had a highly acrimonious relationship with Ditka , called Perry a `` wasted draft - pick '' . Perry soon became a pawn in the political power struggle between Ditka and Ryan . Perry 's `` Refrigerator '' nickname followed him into the NFL and he quickly became a favorite of the Chicago Bears fans . Teammates called him `` Biscuit , '' as in `` one biscuit shy of 350 pounds . '' While Ryan refused to play Perry , Ditka decided to use Perry as a fullback when the team was near the opponents ' goal line or in fourth and short situations , either as a ball carrier or a lead blocker for star running back Walter Payton . Ditka stated the inspiration for using Perry as a fullback came to him during five - yard sprint exercises . During his rookie season , Perry rushed for two touchdowns and caught a pass for one . Perry even had the opportunity to run the ball during Super Bowl XX , as a nod to his popularity and contributions to the team 's success . The first time he got the ball , he was tackled for a one - yard loss while attempting to throw his first NFL pass on a halfback option play . The second time he got the ball , he scored a touchdown ( running over Patriots linebacker Larry McGrew in the process ) . About halfway through his rookie season , Ryan finally began to play Perry , who soon proved that he was a capable defensive lineman . His Super Bowl ring size is the largest of any professional football player in the history of the event . His ring size is 25 , while the ring size for the average adult male is between 10 and 12 . Perry went on to play for ten years in the NFL , retiring after the 1994 season . In his ten years as a pro , he regularly struggled with his weight , which hampered his performance at times . He played in 138 games , recording 29.5 sacks and five fumble recoveries , which he returned for a total of 71 yards . In his offensive career he ran five yards for two touchdowns , and had one reception for another touchdown . Perry later attempted a comeback , playing an unremarkable 1996 season with the London Monarchs of the World League of American Football ( later NFL Europa ) .", "3": "Beyond football ( edit ) ( hide ) This section has multiple issues .

Also in 2006 , he turned down an offer to become Director of Football Operations for the Continental Indoor Football League 's Chicago Slaughter . Music ( edit ) During his popular tenure with the Bears , Perry participated in the recording of two rap records , both in 1985 , in addition to the team 's very popular `` Super Bowl Shuffle '' . Walter Payton and Perry recorded an anti-drug , pro-peace rap tune entitled `` Together '' which was written by four Evanston , Illinois teens . It was re-released in 1999 with part of the profits going to the Walter Payton Foundation . Media appearances ( edit ) Perry participated in a World Wrestling Federation battle royal at WrestleMania 2 in Rosemont , Illinois in 1986 . In 2006 , he returned to the Chicago area to be inducted into the `` Celebrity Wing '' of the WWE Hall of Fame by John Cena . In 2000 , he was defeated by Bob Sapp in a toughman boxing competition on FX .", "4": "In 2002 , he lost in the third round to 7 ft 7 in ( 2.3 m ) former NBA basketball player Manute Bol in a charity boxing match on the Fox Network 's Celebrity Boxing program . In 2003 , he appeared in Nathan 's Hot Dog Eating Contest as a `` celebrity contestant . '' He stopped eating 5 minutes into the competition . This was parodied in an episode of TV Funhouse from the November 11 , 2006 episode of Saturday Night Live in which Takeru Kobayashi plays a hot dog eating superhero . After Kobayashi saves the day by eating a lot of hot dogs , a cartoon William Perry makes an appearance saying `` Damn ! '' in Japanese . He participated in the 2006 Lingerie Bowl as the super sub . He made a guest appearance in the 1980s television show The A-Team . In the 21st episode of the 4th season ( The Trouble with Harry ) `` Fridge '' signs into the same hospital The A-Team is using to help their friend Harry recover . Throughout the episode , Perry only has a few lines -- including the funny : `` They 'll never catch him '' , referring to his NFL playing days -- but he gives out `` Bears '' caps in the final scene . B.A. Baracus and Hulk Hogan ( who guest starred in the episode as well ) react angrily when they do n't get a cap , but the large sized Perry is able to calm them down with his huge smile . In 2003 , he appeared in a TV movie on Comedy Central called Windy City Heat , opposite an aspiring actor named Perry Caravello , who is led to believe he is acting in a major motion picture . He also made a short appearance in the opening of According to Jim ( Season 8 , Episode 15 ) . He starred in a commercial in the 1980s with Jim McMahon , fellow Chicago Bears teammate , for Coke Classic and Coke . He appears on the Chef Tony infomercial endorsing My Rotisserie in a number of acted scenes where he plays poker with his friends , while singing the praises of the kitchen appliance . During Super Bowl XLIV , Perry joined other members of the 1985 Chicago Bears in resurrecting the Super Bowl Shuffle in a Boost Mobile commercial .", "5": "In 2002 , Perry competed on the 2nd edition of Celebrity Boxing losing to NBA star Manute Bol by unanimous decision . He also made an appearance on an episode of the Comedy Central series , The Man Show . Trivia ( edit ) Popular rap trio The Fat Boys recorded a twelve - inch single titled `` Chillin ' with the Refrigerator '' released on Sutra Records . A novelty hit , `` Frig - O - Rator , '' was released in December 1985 on the Motown label by Roq - In ' Zoo and featured sound bites of Bears game plays . The following year The Fridge was yet again remembered in a rap song , this time by the obscure Los Angeles - based hip - hop group Hard Machine who released the single `` Refrigerator . '' Perry is one of several real people to be immortalized with a 3.75 in ( 9.5 cm ) G.I. Joe action figure of himself as The Fridge . The figure was offered in 1986 , the same year the Bears defeated the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl . In 2013 , Perry was named as both original ( as fullback ) and unlockable ( as defensive tackle ) All - Player Legend on Madden 25 , the only player to be named twice , and his career as a running back was only until 1990 . Personal life ( edit ) In June 2008 , he was diagnosed with Guillain -- Barré syndrome , a chronic inflammation disorder of the peripheral nerves . On April 22 , 2009 , Perry was hospitalized in South Carolina in serious condition from his Guillain -- Barré syndrome . Perry spent approximately a month in the hospital before being released . In June 2010 , it was reported that Perry suffered from hearing loss , but also that he was improving after his diagnosis of Guillain -- Barré syndrome . He had lost more than one hundred pounds ( 50 kg ) , but was , by this time , back up to 330 lb ( 150 kg ) . In February 2011 , ESPN ran a somber article about him , citing ongoing health and drinking problems , and a weight of 400 lb ( 180 kg ) . In January 2016 , Perry , weighing more than 425 pounds , checked himself into the hospital to receive treatment for diabetes .", "6": "Now confined to a wheelchair , Perry revealed he had no feeling in his feet and is in danger of having his leg amputated . In April 2011 , Cliff Forrest , a 10 - year - old child , discovered Perry 's Super Bowl ring for sale . With help from his mother , he purchased it for $8,500 and returned the ring to Perry . In September 2015 , it was reported that Perry 's Super Bowl ring was auctioned off for more than $200,000 by the man Perry had sold it to several years earlier . As of October 29 , 2014 , Perry has been confined to his late father 's home . Michael Dean Perry , his younger brother and another former NFL defensive lineman is William 's assigned Guardian and Conservator for his affairs . July 30 , 2015 , Perry 's Super Bowl ring , the largest Super Bowl ring ever made , was auctioned off to an unknown bidder . As of September 23 , 2015 , Perry is living off a monthly social security disability check , and also gets some disability money from the NFL as he lives in an assisted living townhouse .

Considering himself a businessman and patience as a prime virtue , XXXX leaves the darker aspects of the business to his henchman Morty , a man having recently ended a 10 - year prison sentence for murder . Once he has earned enough to ensure his long - term financial security , XXXX plans to retire . On the evening XXXX intends to set these plans into motion , his sponsor and powerful supplier Jimmy Price puts two crucial missions in his hands . The first is to track down Charlie , the teenage daughter of Jimmy 's associate Eddie Temple , who has fled a rehabilitation centre along with her drug - addicted boyfriend Pinky . XXXX decides to enlist two con men , Cody and Tiptoes , to perform this task . They investigate , and find the boyfriend dead and Charlie apparently kidnapped , although no ransom has been demanded . The second mission Jimmy assigns to XXXX is to organise the purchase and distribution of one million ecstasy tablets from a low - level gangster who styles himself `` The Duke '' . Unbeknownst to XXXX , the pills had been stolen from a gang of Serbian war criminals based in the Netherlands , a massive drug production outfit with an honour - avenging bent . XXXX encounters the Duke 's out - of - touch nephew Sidney at a bar and becomes attracted to his disillusioned girlfriend Tammy . XXXX tries to broker the sale of the ecstasy pills to Liverpool gangsters Trevor and Shanks , but they refuse , informing him of the drugs ' purloined nature , and that in response the Serbs have sent an assassin , known as Dragan , to find the pills and kill those responsible for their theft . Duke had mentioned XXXX 's name to the Serbs beforehand , so he too is in danger . Members of the Duke 's gang soon start turning up dead and the Duke himself goes missing . XXXX arranges a tryst with Tammy , but before it can be consummated , he is kidnapped by henchmen of Eddie Temple , father of Charlie , the missing girl .", "2": "Eddie informs him that Jimmy Price has recently lost £ 13 million in a failed investment in Africa and planned for XXXX to find Charlie so Jimmy could take her hostage until Eddie could get him his money back . Jimmy was also hoping to sell the pills to recoup his losses ; Eddie then plays XXXX a recording indicating that Jimmy has been a long - term informant for Scotland Yard and intends to betray XXXX to the police as soon as the deal is done , planning to gain clemency from the deal and also take away XXXX 's wealth . Eddie demands that XXXX sells the pills to himself instead . A furious XXXX shoots and kills Jimmy at his home , but does so with a gun that Gene , Jimmy 's henchman and his main liaison with XXXX , had used to commit a prior murder , putting Gene under police attention . XXXX then discovers that his accountant , who operated his legitimate front and was referred to him by Jimmy Price , has stolen all of his money and disappeared . Gene and Morty initially suspect XXXX of foulplay ; after being shown the evidence of Jimmy 's snitching , the pair acknowledge XXXX as the group 's new acting boss and show him the corpse of the Duke . Gene killed him along with girlfriend and crime - partner , Slasher , when the latter threatened to alert the police about the pills . To recoup something from the fiasco , XXXX tips the police off to the Duke 's hideout , who then conduct a raid . XXXX is intentionally present during the raid to feign purchasing the pills from the Duke 's crew , and Dragan , who has been following XXXX , witnesses the raid from afar as the police confiscate the drugs while XXXX and Duke 's surviving crew escape . Meanwhile , XXXX has arranged for Cody and Tiptoes to infiltrate the raiding police and con the unit out of the pills . XXXX delivers the severed head of the Duke to Dragan as a peace offering , who reports back to his Serbian boss that the police have seized the drugs . Cody and Tiptoes return the drugs to XXXX in exchange for a fee , and XXXX in turn looks to sell them to Eddie Temple as planned . However , during the handover at the latter 's bonded warehouse , Eddie 's henchmen rob his crew of the drugs at gunpoint .", "3": "To end XXXX 's faux assignment given by Jimmy , Eddie reveals that his daughter Charlie 's boyfriend died at his men 's hands ; she was recovered before Jimmy Price ever tasked XXXX with finding her , and Eddie had her put back into rehab all this time . To mollify XXXX , Eddie gives him a `` Welcome to the Layer Cake '' : a membership to the Stoke Park Country Club of which he is ( and Jimmy was ) a member . Expecting betrayal , XXXX successfully arranges for Trevor , Shanks , and young Dizzy to steal the drugs back from Eddie 's men . The gang assembles for lunch at the Stoke Park Club , honoring XXXX their new boss . However , he declines , stating his intention to stick to his planned retirement all along . When leaving the club with Tammy , mentally running through the names of his fellow murdered businessmen he hopes to avoid joining , XXXX is shot by a heart - broken Sidney . XXXX collapses bleeding , and he lies twitching on the front steps while contemplating his possible death .

Johnson on July 30 , 1965 The Social Security Amendments of 1965 , Pub. L. 89 -- 97 , 79 Stat. 286 , enacted July 30 , 1965 , was legislation in the United States whose most important provisions resulted in creation of two programs : Medicare and Medicaid . The legislation initially provided federal health insurance for the elderly ( over 65 ) and for poor families .", "1": "Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 Previous administrations 1.2 Johnson administration 1.3 House of Representatives 1.4 Senate 1.5 Final passage 2 References History ( edit ) Many politicians were involved in drafting the final bill that was introduced to the United States Congress in March 1965 . On July 30 , 1965 President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the bill into law . The concept of national health insurance began in the early 20th century in the United States and then came to prominence during the Truman administration . Between 1958 and 1964 , controversy grew and a bill was drafted . The signing of the act , as part of Johnson 's Great Society , began an era with a greater emphasis on public health issues . Medicare and Medicaid became the United States ' first public health insurance programs . The legislation was vigorously opposed by the American Medical Association until it had been enacted , following which the AMA cooperated in its implementation . In 1912 Theodore Roosevelt included social insurance for sickness in the platform of his Progressive Party ( United States , 1912 ) . Around 1915 the group American Association for Labor Legislation attempted to introduce a medical insurance bill to some state legislatures . These attempts were not successful , and as a result controversy about national insurance came about . National groups supporting the idea of government health insurance included the AFL - CIO , the American Nurses Association , National Association of Social Workers , and the Socialist Party USA . The most prominent opponent of national medical insurance was the American Medical Association ( AMA ) ; others included the American Hospital Association , the US Chamber of Commerce , and the Life Insurance Association of People . Previous administrations ( edit ) In 1935 , when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act , medical benefits were left out of the bill . The committee that Roosevelt appointed to study issues related to Social Security wanted to include health insurance in the bill . However , the committee was concerned that amending the bill to include health insurance would kill the entire bill . Harry Truman took on the idea of national medical care and tried to integrate it into his Fair Deal program . Truman 's attempts were also unsuccessful , though during his presidency the fight for national medical care became specific to the aged population .", "2": "Once the targeted age was decided , a lengthy debate began over presenting a coherent medical care bill to Congress . The Conservative coalition dominated the House Ways and Means Committee , which complicated attempts to pass social health programs . Wilbur Mills ( D - AR ) , chair of the committee , later played a role in creating the health care program that was integrated into the Social Security Act . In 1960 , the Kerr - Mills Act created the Medical Assistance for the Aged ( MAA ) program which gave states the power to decide which patients needed financial assistance . The federal government would provide matching funds to the states for the program . Some states did not participate or abide by the Act . Another preliminary bill , the King - Anderson Bill , was introduced in 1962 . Under it , some hospital and nursing home costs for patients 65 and older would have been covered . Although this bill was defeated in committee , the vote was narrow ( 12 -- 11 ) , signaling a shift in attitudes . Johnson administration ( edit ) With the election of Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 , Democrats controlled both the Presidency and the Congress , claiming a 2 : 1 ratio to Republicans in the House and 32 more seats in the Senate . The Democrats in the House Ways and Means Committee shifted away from Southern Democrats , making the committee more sympathetic towards health insurance reform . Those who had previously worked on the King - Anderson Bill drafted a new bill providing coverage of the aged , limited hospitalization and nursing home insurance benefits , and Social Security financing . Wilbur Cohen , Assistant Secretary for Legislation of the Department of Health , Education and Welfare ( and later Secretary ) , pushed the Medicare bill . Cohen convinced Johnson to give the bill high priority , and Johnson declared its importance to his Great Society program . The bill was introduced as companion bills , H.R. 1 and S. 1 , given the numbers as the first bill introduced in each House of the new Congress . House of Representatives ( edit ) The groups previously opposed to the legislation switched their focus from opposing the bill to creating new versions of it . As a result , three forms of the bill emerged : John Byrnes ' , the American Medical Association 's , and the administration 's bill ( known as Medicare ) .", "3": "Byrnes was a Republican committee member who proposed that doctors ' services and drugs be financed ; participation in coverage would be voluntary for the aged . If an elderly patient did need the help , his or her financing would be `` scaled to the amounts of the participant 's Social Security cash benefits '' and the financing would come from the government 's revenues . The AMA proposed Eldercare , which provided government financing for physician 's services , surgical charges , drugs , nursing home costs , x-ray and lab services . When brought back to the Ways and Means committee , three bills were presented : Byrnes , ' Eldercare , and Medicare . When deliberations began in 1965 , both AMA members and their suggestions were rejected . Wilbur Mills , the chair of the Ways and Means committee , suggested combining Byrnes ' ideas and Medicare . His committee took on the task of drafting H.R. 6675 , the bill that ultimately became law . In combining the two bills , John Byrnes 's suggestion , which included lower taxes , had to be altered as higher taxes were necessary for the program 's predicted costs . The Ways and Means Committee reported favorably on the new bill to the full House of Representatives on March 29 after a straight party committee vote of 17 to 8 . During debate on the House floor , Republicans offered a substitute bill that would have made participation fully voluntary . It was narrowly defeated 236 to 191 , with 128 of 138 Republicans in favor of the substitute . H.R. 6675 was passed in the House on April 8 , 1965 by a vote of 313 to 115 . Senate ( edit ) The biggest threat to the passage of H.R. 6675 in the Senate came from liberal Democrats who were eager to expand coverage of the bill . As amended and passed in the Senate on July 19 by a vote of 68 to 2 , H.R. 6675 would have cost approximately $800 million more than the House - passed bill . Final passage ( edit ) The bill went to conference committee where Representative Mills worked to eliminate practically all of the Senate amendments . The bill went through more than five hundred amendments before being passed by majority vote in the House ( 307 -- 116 ) on July 27 and in the Senate on July 28 ( 70 -- 24 ) .", "4": "The legislation made two amendments to the Social Security Act of 1935 . Title XVIII , which became known as Medicare , includes Part A , which provides hospital insurance for the aged , and Part B , which provides supplementary medical insurance . Title XIX , which became known as Medicaid , provides for the states to finance health care for individuals who were at or close to the public assistance level with federal matching funds .

It is the opening ballad of the I Am ... disc of the double album I Am ... Sasha Fierce . It is the only song on either disc that Beyoncé did not co-write . Most of the lyrics were written by Jean , who was inspired by the break - up of a romantic relationship . One day Jean and Gad visited a pizzeria in Times Square in New York City . Although tempted , Jean refrained from eating pizza because she was dieting . She then thought that if she were a boy , she would have eaten without regret . After reflecting on the idea , she concluded that she would have been a better man than her past lover . Gad captured Jean 's ideas on a pocket recorder , and they went to the studio the same day . Once there , she wrote the lyrics and melody in about 15 minutes . She then recorded the song in less than half an hour , with Gad on the guitar . After completing her version of `` If I Were a Boy '' , Jean presented it to her record company , which rejected the song . Gad and Jean had co-written 12 songs , including `` If I Were a Boy '' , for the singer 's debut album . As the deal with Jean 's record company fell apart , Gad marketed the songs to established artists .", "3": "Beyoncé liked `` If I Were a Boy '' and recorded her own version of it for her album I Am ... Sasha Fierce . Gad and Beyoncé produced the track in 2008 at Roc the Mic Studios and Strawberry Productions in New York City and at GAD Studios in Ibiza . Gad did the musical arrangements , assisted in recording the music , and played the instruments alongside his brother Jens Gad and Reggie Syience Perry . Jim Caruana recorded Beyoncé 's vocals at Roc the Mic Studios . Mark `` Spike '' Stent mixed the track with assistance from Matt Green at The Record Plant in Los Angeles . `` If I Were a Boy '' was placed on the I Am ... disc of I Am ... Sasha Fierce , as it is a ballad that shows Beyoncé 's insecurities about love and the person she is `` underneath all the makeup , underneath the lights and underneath all the exciting star drama '' . In an interview with Essence magazine , Beyoncé explained that `` If I Were a Boy '' is `` broad '' and different from her previous releases because it is not a traditional R&B song . She added , `` I had to try it , because I remember Aretha Franklin said a great singer can sing anything and make it her own . '' Beyoncé was also motivated by her audience 's strong expectations from her as a singer . While preparing her third solo album , Beyoncé wanted to experiment with stronger lyrics and record ballads like `` If I Were a Boy '' because , `` the music and the emotion in the story is told ( sic ) so much better . It 's a better connection because you can hear it and it 's not all these other distractions . I really wanted people to hear my voice and hear what I had to say . '' Jean 's response ( edit ) After Jean 's version of `` If I Were a Boy '' was rejected by her record company , she was upset that Beyoncé recorded and released the ballad . Roger Friedman of Fox News wrote that Jean was first informed that Beyoncé recorded the song by a stranger . The Daily Telegraph reported that Beyoncé 's father and then - manager Mathew Knowles pursued the publishing rights of `` If I Were a Boy '' after realizing that it had the potential to become a big hit .", "4": "Jean used her Myspace account to express her frustration : `` I have been reading some of these comments and to set the record straight from the horse 's mouth -- IF I WERE A BOY is my song ; YES , I wrote this song ; It is my story ; a painful one , and the song is very dear to me . You can hear the original version on my myspace site . '' Friedman later reported that Beyoncé and Jean had come to terms . The deal included a promise that Beyoncé would record a duet with Jean for her debut album . In an interview with Eric R. Danton of the Hartford Courant , Jean was asked about her reaction when she heard that Beyoncé was recording `` If I Were a Boy '' . She was initially surprised when people regarded her as a songwriter because she envisioned herself as `` do ( ing ) the whole artist thing as well '' . Jean added , `` It 's an amazing compliment , but I was like , ' That 's great , but it 's going to be on my album ! ' And it can be on my album , too , I just did n't realize how it worked ... At first when I got this , people did n't know that I was an artist , so it was , like , ' Oh , this songwriter BC . ' '' `` If I Were a Boy '' was the first song she ever recorded , and she initially did not intend to hand it to another singer . Jean said that the fact that Beyoncé recorded the ballad provided many opportunities , and she was approached by many people who wanted to purchase her lyrics . She refused their offers , desiring to use her songs for her own album . However , Jean still intends to write for other artists . Composition and lyrical interpretation ( edit ) `` If I Were a Boy '' `` If I Were a Boy '' is an acoustic guitar - driven midtempo pop ballad with folk rock influences , featuring Knowles deliver a tormented vocal performance . On the final chorus , she ornaments her vocal lines with melodic crescendos and sings an octave higher than she does on the rest of the song . Problems playing this file ? See media help . `` If I Were a Boy '' is a midtempo pop and R&B ballad , with folk rock and soft rock influences .", "5": "The song was composed using common time in the key of G ♭ major and has a moderate tempo of 90 beats per minute . It was written in the common verse - chorus form ; the verses are supported by four chords and follow a vi - IV - I-V chord progression in the form E ♭ m -- B -- G ♭ -- D ♭ / F. Ed Masle of The Arizona Republic noted that the progression is reminiscent of Nirvana 's 1991 song `` Smells Like Teen Spirit '' . Instrumentation is provided by a piano , acoustic guitars , live drums , and strings as well as hand claps which are used throughout the song . Beyoncé 's vocals span the range from a low of F ♯ to the high of E. Her singing gets higher and louder as she employs melodic crescendos . Critics noted that Beyoncé delivers a tormented performance with unwavering sentiments . The lyrics of `` If I Were a Boy '' are about a gender - swapping thought experiment , through which Beyoncé analyses the ideologies of a tense relationship . As she sings about things she would do if she were a boy , Beyoncé highlights the vulnerability of a woman and ponders how things would be different if men had women 's sense of empathy . During the first part of the ballad , Beyoncé alternates between the role of her flawed partner and that of the better man she would be . In the first verse , she envisions herself impersonating her unfeeling love interest as she sings about consuming beer with other men , chasing after girls , and treating her lover cruelly , before adding that she would never be confronted for it . Beyoncé then sings the chorus , in which she gives her vision of life as a better man , `` I think I could understand / How it feels to love a girl / I swear I 'd be a better man '' , because she knows `` how it hurts when you lose the one you wanted / ' cause he 's taken you for granted and everything you had got destroyed '' . In the second verse , Beyoncé resigns herself and continues to sing about cruelties that men often inflict on women . Still imagining herself impersonating the man who has wronged her , she highlights how some men switch off their phones to avoid ex-lovers after having found another girl .", "6": "Beyoncé continues , `` I 'd put myself first / And make the rules as I go / ' Cause I know that she 'd be faithful / Waitin ' for me to come home '' . She then repeats the chorus ; the intensity with which she sings gradually increases until she hits her upper register and seems close to crying . During the bridge , Beyoncé stops singing about the male behaviors she would indulge in if she were a man and addresses her callous lover directly . As Beyoncé emphasizes how it feels to be cheated on , she sings her vocal lines an octave higher than she did in the rest of the song . She finally tells him that it is too late to come back and apologize . In the last verse , Beyoncé concludes , `` But you 're just a boy '' . Fraser McAlpine of BBC Music notes that she `` ( pushes ) her voice into a thin , pleading whine '' at this point . With a squeak in her voice , she repeats the chorus for the final time as she fights to remain strong , not allowing her agony to bring her down . Release ( edit ) Beyoncé performing `` If I Were a Boy '' at the O2 Arena , in London , England during her I Am ... World Tour `` If I Were a Boy '' and `` Single Ladies ( Put a Ring on It ) '' were released simultaneously as the double album 's two lead singles . The songs were taken from different discs of the album to demonstrate Beyoncé 's conflicting personalities , the album 's central theme . This motif was demonstrated by placing the ballads on a separate disc from the uptempo tracks . `` If I Were a Boy '' and `` Single Ladies '' were initially planned to debut on US radio stations on October 7 , 2008 , but both premiered the following day . `` If I Were a Boy '' debuted on Z100 's Elvis Duran and the Morning Show , while `` Single Ladies '' first aired on New York mainstream urban radio station Power 105.1 .

A Spanish version of `` If I Were a Boy '' was translated by Rudy Pérez and mixed by Andrés Bermúdez at The Beach House in Miami . Titled `` Si Yo Fuera un Chico ( If I Were a Boy ) '' , this version was only included on copies of I Am ... Sasha Fierce in Mexico as well as iTunes Stores in Latin America and Spain , where it was released as a stand - alone single on February 3 , 2009 . Critical reception ( edit ) `` If I Were a Boy '' was widely acclaimed by contemporary music critics , who applauded Beyoncé 's vocal performance and called the song her best yet . Billboard magazine 's critic Chuck Taylor wrote that `` If I Were a Boy '' is Beyoncé 's `` most affecting offering '' since `` Listen '' ( 2006 ) . He praised her vocals as `` breathtaking , exquisitely emotive , mournful , and mature '' and added that the song `` exudes the fragrance of a Grammy Award '' . According to Ann Powers of the Los Angeles Times , `` If I Were a Boy '' is Beyoncé 's Streisand moment and `` a tender , fairly simple ballad that ( she ) uses to prove she 's a great vocal actress '' . Powers concluded , `` This is n't just another breakup song ; it 's an elegy for female empowerment , Beyoncé 's admission that no amount of money , fame or skill can solve the basic inequity between her man 's heart and her own . ''", "8": "Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine wrote that `` If I Were a Boy '' could become as commercially successful as `` Irreplaceable '' because of its radio - friendly appeal . James Montgomery of MTV News complimented the `` tear - jerking power '' of `` If I Were a Boy '' and noted that it reveals `` sides of Beyoncé we never knew existed '' . `` Her tone is gentle , open : Instead of the snap of ' Single Ladies ' and ' Irreplaceable , ' there 's real sadness as she shuts this door ... In the end , Beyoncé ca n't resist arching her eyebrow ; she 's a survivor , and she wo n't let her pain completely unmake her . But that 's the final , poignant point of this excellent song . In Beyoncé 's world view , an independent woman must sacrifice the princess fantasy she was sold as a child , and keep that steely edge , even when her world is melting around her . The compassion Beyoncé 's vocal conveys as ' If I Were a Boy ' concludes is as much for the man who ca n't fulfill romance 's impossible dream as it is for herself . '' -- Los Angeles Times ' Ann Powers reviewing `` If I Were a Boy '' . Matos Michaelangelo of The A.V. Club remarked that `` If I Were a Boy '' has `` boilerplate lyrics '' that would fit perfectly in a Hayley Mills film . Nick Levine of Digital Spy wrote in his review of the album that `` If I Were a Boy '' has the `` most interesting lyrics '' of the entire record . In a separate review of `` If I Were a Boy '' , Levine awarded it four stars out of five , writing that Beyoncé 's vocals on the song are passionate .

Pitchfork Media 's Ryan Dombal called `` If I Were a Boy '' an `` effective and affecting gender - bender '' . Allmusic writer Andy Kellman felt that though the ballad sounds like `` the watery backdrop for a singing competition finale '' , it is the most outstanding song on I Am ... Sasha Fierce thanks to its lyrics and Beyoncé 's tormented performance .", "9": "Colin McGuire of PopMatters felt that `` If I Were a Boy '' was the highlight of the first disc of the double album . Jon Caramanica of The New York Times described the song as one of the greatest pop songs of the last few years and one of Beyoncé 's most complicated vocal performances . Joey Guerra of the Houston Chronicle commented that `` If I Were a Boy '' is an `` elegant new musical direction '' for Beyoncé and praised it for being different from the songs played on Top 40 radio . By contrast , Stacey Anderson of Spin magazine was unimpressed with `` If I Were a Boy '' , calling it a glistening and boring ballad . Adam Mazmanian of The Washington Times noted that the musical composition of `` If I Were a Boy '' has `` a spare ( and ) cinematic quality that ( Beyoncé ) fills with an expansive voice '' , which nevertheless falters at times . A 2010 review of `` well - intended yet misguided feminist anthems '' in The A.V. Club noted the song had both a `` fresh perspective and a sense of self - awareness '' but cast is as `` a soppy wallow in whiny self - pity and broad stereotyping '' . Erika Ramirez and Jason Lipshutz of Billboard magazine placed `` If I Were a Boy '' at number 19 on a list of Beyoncé 's 30 biggest Billboard hits published for Beyoncé 's thirtieth birthday . They wrote that the song `` found Beyoncé at her most honest , drawing in both women and men '' . `` If I Were a Boy '' was nominated for the Best Foreign Song at the 2009 Porin Awards in Croatia .

Music video ( edit ) Background and concept ( edit ) Beyoncé portraying an NYPD officer in the official music video for `` If I Were a Boy '' The music video for `` If I Were a Boy '' was directed by Jake Nava and was shot in black - and - white in New York City with the video for `` Single Ladies ( Put a Ring on It ) '' . A Spanish version of the music video , titled `` Si Yo Fuera Un Chico '' , was released with the same concepts as the main one ; it was edited from the original with the Spanish version of the song dubbed over it . The music video for `` If I Were a Boy '' is reflective of the stance as an independent woman that Beyoncé has taken throughout her career . In an interview with Billboard magazine , Beyoncé revealed that the concept of the video is similar to the American comedy film Freaky Friday ( 1976 ) ; its theme is role reversal . She also said that it would depict things that men commonly do to hurt their partners , like not answering their phones , before adding that the video is about little things that mean a lot in relationships . Beyoncé explained : In the beginning of the video , my husband makes me breakfast and he 's excited about it , and I kind of do n't have time to eat .", "12": "As a police officer , I have a male partner and the video goes through our days . My husband 's at work and has attractive girls flirting with him but he declines their advances . I have a guy flirting with me , and I flirt back . Beyoncé said that by the end of the video , viewers would realize the husband is a police officer and Beyoncé , as the female character , has been doing things her husband has done to her . MTV News writer Jennifer Vineyard 's analysis of the concept concluded , `` When we first saw it from a different perspective , Beyoncé 's behavior seemed more abnormal . And when it 's the guy doing everything she just did in the previous scenes , it becomes all too familiar -- which is Beyoncé 's point . '' Synopsis ( edit ) The video begins with Beyoncé and her husband saying a few words , including `` intimacy '' , `` honesty '' , and `` commitment '' , and then saying the words `` you '' , `` me '' , and `` us '' together . When the action starts , Beyoncé is seen working as a police officer . Her husband ( played by NFL player Eddie Goines ) is very supportive . He makes her breakfast , spends time at work looking for a present for her and forgoes socializing with attractive coworkers so he can be available when his wife arrives home . However , Beyoncé is not thinking about him at all . Instead , she spends her free time with other officers , particularly her male partner , whom she seems enamored with . Her husband calls her , but she ignores the phone . Later , when her husband gives her earrings , she puts them on to go dancing with her partner at a party . Her husband is upset when he sees them , and when he confronts her about this , she acts like he is making a big deal out of nothing . `` When you act like that , I do n't think you realize how it makes me look or feel '' , he tells her . Beyoncé then asks him in a condescending tone , `` Why are you so jealous ? It 's not like I 'm sleeping with the guy . '' Then the story reverses , and Beyoncé starts to cry . Her husband 's situation is actually her experience -- he is a police officer who takes his supportive wife for granted .", "13": "Reception and accolades ( edit ) Beyoncé premiered the video , alongside the video for `` Single Ladies ( Put a Ring on It ) '' , on MTV 's Total Request Live show on October 13 , 2008 . It was included on Beyoncé 's 2009 remix album with videography , Above and Beyoncé . Jennifer Vineyard of MTV News described the video as a `` meaningful one -- and it comes with a twist that requires repeat viewing '' . She noted that if the video did not exist , she would not have seen the tomboy side of Beyoncé . A writer for Rap - Up commented , `` Beyoncé delivers one of the year 's best videos with the black and white clip . '' Jennifer Cady of E ! Online praised the video , writing that it has a `` serious melodramatic storyline '' . She further noted that it was `` slow and everyone overacts , but be sure to catch the end where a major twist will probably change your outlook on the dynamics of male -- female relationships forever '' . The clip was ranked at number seventy - two on BET : Notarized Top 100 Videos of 2008 countdown and at number twenty - five on BET J 's Last Call 2008 ! Top 50 Countdown . It was nominated for Video of the Year at the 2009 BET Awards but lost to Beyoncé 's other video for `` Single Ladies '' .

Ben Sisario of The New York Times commented that Beyoncé `` was elaborately staged and typically athletic '' during the performance . William Goodman of Spin magazine noted that Beyoncé `` owned '' the night 's most powerful performance . Erika Ramirez of Billboard magazine put the performance at number three on her list of `` Beyoncé 's 5 Biggest TV Performances '' . Beyoncé interpolated a verse from `` You Oughta Know '' into her performance of `` If I Were a Boy '' at the Glastonbury Festival on June 26 , 2011 . In addition to her performances of the song on television and at award ceremonies , `` If I Were a Boy '' was included on the set lists of Beyoncé 's I Am ... World Tour ( 2009 -- 10 ) and I Am ... Yours revue .", "15": "It was subsequently included on her live albums , I Am ... World Tour and I Am ... Yours : An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas . Prior to the performance of the song at the tour , outtakes of its music video were used . Beyoncé later appeared performing `` If I Were a Boy '' wearing Ray - Bans , a leather breastplate , aviator shades and a bulletproof - looking one - piece further asking the crowd to sing along the track . During the bridge of the song , she included excerpts from Morissette 's `` You Oughta Know '' and Tupac Shakur 's `` California Love '' while imitating a male person with her moves . Alice Jones of The Independent wrote in her review that Beyoncé `` whip ( s ) up a quasi-feminist singalong . '' Caryn Ganz of Rolling Stone noted that the singer channeled her `` ferocious onstage persona '' , Sasha Fierce . Ann Powers of the Los Angeles Times compared Beyoncé 's wardrobe and dancing with that of Ciara . In May 2012 , Beyoncé performed `` If I Were a Boy '' during her Revel Presents : Beyoncé Live revue at Revel in Atlantic City , New Jersey . Before Beyoncé started to sing , she noted that `` ( everyone knows ) how it feels to be hurt and lied to '' . During the performance , she mashed Goo Goo Dolls ' `` Iris '' ( 1998 ) and reworked the rhythm of `` If I Were a Boy '' to fit with the cover . Elysa Gardner of USA Today noted that the ballad `` became a jangly guitar - pop number '' during the show . Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly wrote that `` the most attention - grabbing moments of the night ... came when she dipped into other artists ' catalogs '' . In 2013 , `` If I Were a Boy '' was included in the set list of The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour where it featured the string motif from The Verve 's `` Bitter Sweet Symphony '' ( 1997 ) . Fake tape ( edit ) `` Despite the denials -- and even as the original Today broadcast below shows -- every time Beyoncé hits the high notes the camera jumps to a far away wide shot spotlighting the audience . So that 's kind of suspicious .", "16": "But it also seems evident that the fake recording simply pitch - shifts at random -- not even American Idol 's worst rejects sound that awful . So we 're not going to throw B ( eyoncé ) into a club that features Britney Spears , Enrique Iglesias and Ashlee Simpson as blatant abusers of prerecorded material just yet . '' -- Rolling Stone 's Daniel Kreps . In January 2009 , Matthew Zeghibe , a 26 - year - old computer art student from Connecticut , used pitch - correction software to make a clip that he claimed was the soundboard recording of `` If I Were a Boy '' from Beyoncé 's Today show appearance in November 2008 . In the tape , Beyoncé sang drastically off - key . A corresponding video was leaked onto the internet , and it went viral . It was even played on American radio stations on April 21 , 2009 ; Howard Stern played the recording , describing it as `` the unedited board mix '' of Beyoncé 's live performance . According to Us Weekly , Mathew Knowles was the first to cast doubt on the recording 's authenticity , saying that the tape seemed to have been altered . He added that `` at 12 years into Beyoncé 's career , the last thing someone should be questioning is her vocal ability . That would be like questioning if Kobe Bryant could shoot a jump shot . '' On April 22 , TMZ.com reported that the tape was a hoax . They revealed that they had spoken to the person who modified the soundboard tapes , and the alleged culprit told them , `` It 's a little bit crazy . No one in their right mind would sound like that , and no one would cheer for someone singing like that . '' The following day , Beyoncé spoke about the allegations to MTV News . She stated that the report was ridiculous and that the timing of the video would draw publicity to two of her upcoming television performances . In an interview with Chris Harris of Rolling Stone , Zeghibe said that he was surprised by how much attention the clip received and by Beyoncé 's reaction to it . He admitted that he had previously given the same treatment to Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears , and that he did not feel he had to apologize for the hoax : I was just trying to make a point .", "17": "I wanted to show people how easy it is to manipulate someone 's voice . If I can do it with a clip I pulled off of TV , imagine what they are doing on records and during live performances . The entire industry has been so manipulated , because there 's such an emphasis on perfection , so when something like this happens , it causes such a stir . I knew something had to have happened to make it jump so fast . It 's wild how much the story 's been twisted . It 's just always been fun for me to manipulate artists , and make it sound crazy . It was just for a good laugh . It was a goof , just for fun . I do a lot of parodies on my YouTube channel , and it just so happens this one got a little out of hand . It was just what I 've learned in school , and it 's fun I could fool so many people and get away with it . A lot of people had a lot of laughs because of it , so why should I apologize ? If you ca n't poke fun at yourself , I do n't know what kind of person you are .

In late 2010 , she recorded a studio version , and it was added to country radio on January 24 , 2011 , by Starstruck Entertainment and Valory Music Group as the second single from her studio album All the Women I Am ( 2010 ) . McEntire revealed that she originally wanted to only cover her own hits . However , her husband and manager , Narvel Blackstock wanted her to do a cover song . Blackstock finally came up with the idea that she should record her own version of Beyoncé 's `` If I Were a Boy '' . Speaking about her version of the song , McEntire said : `` When I got the song and the lyrics , I thought it was an incredible song ... And , to me , it turned out to be a country song , when we got our instrumentation on it and everything . And some people go , ' Well , why in the world would you do a pop song ? ' I just think music is music . You 've got good and you 've got bad , and I try to stay on the good side . '' McEntire 's cover has generally been met with positive reception .", "25": "Jessica Phillips of Country Weekly magazine described her cover as a `` soulful countrified look at love from a male perspective '' .

Billboard magazine 's Mikael Wood praised the cover , comparing it with McEntire 's cover of Kelly Clarkson 's `` Because of You '' . Jon Caramanica of The New York Times noted that McEntire `` sounds as if she 's already inhabiting the role '' in the song . Allmusic critic Thom Jurek was less favorable , writing that it was unrecognizable to the original , before adding , `` It contains none of the original 's drama ; in its place is a failed attempt at a soft rock power ballad . '' Following McEntire 's live performance at the CMA awards , the song debuted at number 60 on the Hot Country Songs charts as an album cut dated for the week ending November 27 , 2010 . It re-entered at number 60 on the chart dated for the week ending January 29 , 2011 , and peaked at number 22 in April 2011 .

'' Jillian Mapes and Megan Vick of Billboard praised the performance , writing , `` As if Beyonce 's 2008 ballad ' If I Were a Boy ' was n't moving enough , country queen Reba McEntire 's smokey twang and solemn stance turned the song on its head . '' They also noted that the simple and powerful performance `` is enough to inspire tears , or at least goosebumps . ''", "26": "Country Music Television 's Chet Flippo felt that McEntire 's performance was `` the musical highlight of the evening '' and added that it was `` a lesson of what country music should be striving for these days '' . Jon Caramanica of The New York Times gave a mixed review of her performance , writing that `` ( McEntire ) did something unexpected , softening her delivery and finding the creases in the song , as if Beyoncé were whispering to her from the wings .

The Mike O'Callaghan -- Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge is an arch bridge in the United States that spans the Colorado River between the states of Arizona and Nevada . The bridge is located within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area approximately 30 miles ( 48 km ) southeast of Las Vegas , and carries U.S. Route 93 over the Colorado River .", "1": "Opened in 2010 , it was the key component of the Hoover Dam Bypass project , which rerouted US 93 from its previous routing along the top of Hoover Dam and removed several hairpin turns and blind curves from the route . It is jointly named for Mike O'Callaghan , Governor of Nevada from 1971 -- 1979 , and Pat Tillman , an American football player who left his career with the Arizona Cardinals to enlist in the United States Army and was later killed in Afghanistan by friendly fire . As early as the 1960s , officials identified the US 93 route over Hoover Dam to be dangerous and inadequate for projected traffic volumes . From 1998 -- 2001 , officials from Arizona , Nevada , and several federal government agencies collaborated to determine the best routing for an alternative river crossing . In March 2001 , the Federal Highway Administration selected the route , which crosses the Colorado River approximately 1,500 feet ( 460 m ) downstream of Hoover Dam . Construction of the bridge approaches began in 2003 , and construction of the bridge itself began in February 2005 . The bridge was completed in 2010 and the entire bypass route opened to vehicle traffic on October 19 , 2010 . The Hoover Dam Bypass project was completed within budget at a cost of $240 million ; the bridge portion cost $114 million . The bridge was the first concrete - steel composite arch bridge built in the United States , and incorporates the widest concrete arch in the Western Hemisphere . At 900 feet ( 270 m ) above the Colorado River , it is the second highest bridge in the United States after the Royal Gorge Bridge , and is the world 's highest concrete arch bridge . The bridge is slated to be part of Interstate 11 once the highway is completed in this area , replacing US 93 .

Clark County was sparsely populated at the time , with a population of less than 9,000 at the 1930 U.S. Census ( compared to an estimated 2 million in 2013 ) . Development in and around Las Vegas in the latter half of the 20th century made Las Vegas and its surrounding area a tourist attraction , and US 93 became an important transportation corridor for passenger and commercial traffic between Las Vegas and Phoenix . In 1995 , the portion of US 93 over Hoover Dam was included as part of the CANAMEX Corridor , a high - priority transportation corridor established under the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ) . This bridge is a key component of the proposed Interstate 11 project . Through traffic on US 93 combined with pedestrian and tourist traffic at Hoover Dam itself led to major traffic congestion on the dam and on the approaches to the dam . The approaches featured hairpin turns on both the Nevada and Arizona sides of the dam , and the terrain caused limited sight distances around curves . In addition to traffic safety considerations , officials were also concerned about the safety and security of Hoover Dam , specifically the impact a vehicle accident could have on the dam 's operation and the waters of Lake Mead . Officials first discussed the need for a new Colorado River crossing that would bypass the dam in the 1960s . The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation , which operates the dam , began work on the `` Colorado River Bridge Project '' in 1989 , but the project was put on hold in 1995 . In 1997 the Federal Highway Administration took over the project and released a draft environmental impact statement in 1998 . From 1998 -- 2001 state officials from Arizona and Nevada as well as several federal government agencies studied the feasibility of several alternative routes and river crossings , as well as the feasibility of modifying the roadway over the dam , restricting traffic over the dam , or doing nothing . In March 2001 the Federal Highway Administration issued a Record of Decision indicating its selection of the `` Sugarloaf Mountain Alternative '' routing .", "3": "The project called for approximately 2.2 miles ( 3.5 km ) of highway in Nevada , 1.1 miles ( 1.8 km ) of highway in Arizona , and a 1,900 - foot ( 580 m ) bridge that would cross the river 1,500 feet ( 460 m ) downstream ( south ) of Hoover Dam . Design work began in July 2001 . Security measures implemented following the September 11 attacks prohibited commercial truck traffic from driving across Hoover Dam . Prior to the completion of the bridge , through commercial vehicles were required to follow a 104 - mile ( 167 km ) detour route between Boulder City and Kingman via US 95 , Nevada State Route 163 , the Colorado River crossing between Laughlin , Nevada and Bullhead City , Arizona , and Arizona State Route 68 ; the detour added 23 - mile ( 37 km ) to the normal journey on US 93 . Design ( edit ) The completed bridge viewed from Nevada in December 2010 Project design was by the Hoover Support team , led by HDR , Inc. and including T.Y. Lin International , Sverdrup Civil , Inc. , and other specialist contributors . The bridge has a length of 1,900 feet ( 579 m ) and a 1,060 ft ( 320 m ) span . The roadway is 900 ft ( 270 m ) above the Colorado River and four lanes wide . This is the first concrete - and - steel composite arch bridge built in the United States . It includes the widest concrete arch in the Western Hemisphere and is also the second highest bridge in the nation , with the arch 840 ft ( 260 m ) above the river . The twin arch ribs are connected by steel struts . The composite design , using concrete for the arch and columns with steel construction for the roadway deck , was selected for schedule and cost control while being aesthetically compatible with the Hoover Dam . Sean Holstege in The Arizona Republic has called the bridge `` an American triumph '' . USA Today called it `` America 's Newest Wonder '' on October 18 , 2010 . Pedestrian access is provided over the bridge to tourists who wish to take in a different view of the nearby dam and river below , but the dam is not visible for those driving across it .", "4": "A parking area is provided near the bridge on the Nevada side at what was a staging area during construction . A set of stairs and disabled access ramps lead to the sidewalk across the bridge . Construction ( edit ) The bridge under construction , January 2009 Work began in 2003 on the approaches in both states and the construction contract for the arch bridge was awarded in October 2004 . The largest obstacle to the project was the river crossing . The bridge and the bypass were constructed by a consortium of different government agencies and contractors , among them the Federal Highway Administration , the Arizona Department of Transportation , and Nevada Department of Transportation , with RE Monks Construction and Vastco , Inc , constructing the Arizona Approach , Edward Kraemer & Sons , Inc , the Nevada Approach and Las Vegas Paving Corporation undertaking the roadway surfacing on both approaches . The bridge itself was built by Obayashi Corporation and PSM Construction USA , Inc. , while Frehner Construction Company , Inc. was responsible for completing the final roadway installations . A permit problem between Clark County and the subcontractor Casino Ready Mix arose in May 2006 over the operation of a concrete - batch plant for the project , and this caused a four - month delay . Construction of the arches , showing the diagonal cable stays and the high - line crane . June 2009 Construction required hoisting workers and up to 50 short tons ( 45 t ) of materials 890 feet ( 270 m ) above the Colorado River using 2,300 ft ( 700 m ) - long steel cables held aloft by a `` high - line '' crane system . High winds caused a cableway failure in September 2006 , resulting in a further two - year delay . The approach spans , consisting of seven pairs of concrete columns -- five on the Nevada side and two on the Arizona side -- were completed in March 2008 . In November 2008 , construction worker Sherman Jones died in an accident . Completed Arch in September 2009 The arches are made of 106 pieces -- 53 per arch -- mostly 24 ft ( 7.3 m ) cast in place sections . The arch was constructed from both sides of the bridge concurrently , supported by diagonal cable stays strung from temporary towers . The twin arch spans were completed with the casting of the center segments in August 2009 .", "5": "That same month , the two halves of the arch were completed , and were ⁄ inch ( 9.5 mm ) apart ; the gap was filled with a block of reinforced concrete . The temporary cable stays were removed , leaving the arch self - supporting . By December , all eight of the vertical piers on the arch had been set and capped , and at the end of the month the first two of thirty - six 50 - short - ton ( 45 t ) steel girders had been set into place . The nearly complete bridge seen from a helicopter in February 2010 By mid-April 2010 , all of the girders were set in place , and for the first time construction crews could walk across the structure from Arizona to Nevada . Shortly thereafter , the pouring of the bridge deck began . The bridge deck was fully paved in July , and the high - line cranes were removed from the site as the overall project neared completion . The bridge was completed with a dedication ceremony on October 14 , 2010 . and a grand opening party on October 16 . It was opened to bicycle and pedestrian traffic on October 18 and to vehicular traffic on October 19 , a few weeks earlier than estimated . The building of the bridge was featured in episode 5x02 of the TV series Extreme Engineering . The filming of this episode took place before the start of work on the arch . When the bridge opened to traffic , the roadway over Hoover Dam was closed to through traffic , and all visitor access to the dam was routed to the Nevada side ; vehicles are still allowed to drive across the dam to the Arizona side following a security inspection , but must return to the Nevada side to return to US 93 . The former US 93 route between the dam and its junction with the present US 93 route has been re-designated as Nevada State Route 172 . Naming ( edit ) In late 2004 , the proposed bridge name honoring Mike O'Callaghan and Pat Tillman was announced at a ceremony by the Governor of Nevada , Kenny Guinn , and the Governor of Arizona , Janet Napolitano .", "6": "O'Callaghan , a decorated Korean War veteran , was the Governor of Nevada from 1971 through 1979 , and he was the executive editor at the Las Vegas Sun newspaper for many years until his death on March 5 , 2004 . Tillman had been a football player for the Arizona State University and for the Arizona Cardinals . He gave up his multimillion - dollar career in the National Football League to enlist as an infantryman in the U.S. Army , but he was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan on April 22 , 2004 . Incidents ( edit ) View from upstream of Hoover Dam with Mike O'Callaghan -- Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge in background Construction crane collapse ( edit ) Strong winds gusting across the Black Canyon on September 15 , 2006 , appear to have been the cause for the collapse of the `` high - line '' crane system that was used to carry workmen and materials at the bridge site . No injuries or fatalities occurred because of this accident . Limited construction work resumed in October 2006 , but this accident caused a two - year delay in construction . The bridge - construction companies Obayashi Corp. and PSM Construction , USA , Inc. absorbed the cost of the debris removal and the rebuilding of the cranes . The reconstruction contract for the cranes was awarded to Cincinnati 's F&M Mafco Inc . Fatalities ( edit ) Work was also halted when a Las Vegas construction worker , 48 - year - old Sherman Jones , was killed during construction while adjusting a cable used to align temporary concrete towers , when a jack punctured his chest . Suicides ( edit ) The first known suicide at the bridge took place on April 7 , 2012 . Federal officials were unable to persuade the victim not to jump from the pedestrian walkway overlooking the dam . Others have happened since . Recent known suicides at the bridge include a woman who jumped on January 10 , 2014 , becoming the 7th suicide according to the Las Vegas Review Journal ( LVRJ ) . The eighth suicide victim was a man who jumped on April 15 , 2014 ( LVRJ ) .", "7": "Representatives of the Nevada Department of Transportation `` are constantly monitoring the situation , '' and were `` planning to discuss potential preventative measures on the bypass bridge '' at their August or September 2012 meeting .

Fifth grade is tough for Auggie who is ostracized by nearly all the student body . He is bullied by being called a freak and rumors were spread that kids will get the `` plague '' if they touch him . He does befriend a boy named Jack Will . Halloween is Auggie 's favorite holiday . He has to wear an old `` Ghostface '' mask and costume because his dog , Daisy , threw up on his `` Boba Fett '' costume . He walks around school unrecognized and is not tormented while incognito . As he walks through the door to his homeroom , he overhears his friend Jack telling Julian Albans that he was `` only pretending to be friends with Auggie . '' Feeling betrayed , Auggie leaves school and wants to stay home during trick - or - treating . His older sister Olivia , nicknamed `` Via , '' tells him she is still his friend and talks him out of it .

Deadline Hollywood calculated the film made a net profit of $55.3 million , when factoring together all expenses and revenues . In the United States and Canada , Wonder was released alongside Justice League and The Star and was initially projected to gross around $9 million from 3,096 theaters in its opening weekend .

From 1992 until 2016 , Nintendo was also the majority shareholder for the Seattle Mariners of Major League Baseball .

Based in Kyoto , the business produced and marketed Hanafuda cards . The handmade cards soon became popular , and Yamauchi hired assistants to mass - produce cards to satisfy demand . In 1949 , the company adopted the name Nintendo Karuta Co. , Ltd. , doing business as The Nintendo Playing Card Co. outside Japan . Nintendo continues to manufacture playing cards in Japan and organizes its own contract bridge tournament called the `` Nintendo Cup '' . The word Nintendo can be translated as `` leave luck to heaven '' , or alternatively as `` the temple of free hanafuda '' . 1956 -- 1974 : new ventures Former headquarters plate , from when Nintendo was solely a playing card company In 1956 , Hiroshi Yamauchi , grandson of Fusajiro Yamauchi , visited the U.S. to talk with the United States Playing Card Company , the dominant playing card manufacturer there .", "3": "He found that the biggest playing card company in the world was using only a small office . Yamauchi 's realization that the playing card business had limited potential was a turning point . He then acquired the license to use Disney characters on playing cards to drive sales . In 1963 , Yamauchi renamed Nintendo Playing Card Co. Ltd. to Nintendo Co. , Ltd . The company then began to experiment in other areas of business using newly injected capital during the period of time between 1963 and 1968 . Nintendo set up a taxi company called Daiya . This business was initially successful . However , Nintendo was forced to sell it because problems with the labour unions were making it too expensive to run the service . It also set up a love hotel chain , a TV network , a food company ( selling instant rice ) and several other ventures . All of these ventures eventually failed , and after the 1964 Tokyo Olympics , playing card sales dropped , and Nintendo 's stock price plummeted to its lowest recorded level of ¥ 60 . In 1966 , Nintendo moved into the Japanese toy industry with the Ultra Hand , an extendable arm developed by its maintenance engineer Gunpei Yokoi in his free time . Yokoi was moved from maintenance to the new `` Nintendo Games '' department as a product developer . Nintendo continued to produce popular toys , including the Ultra Machine , Love Tester and the Kousenjuu series of light gun games . Despite some successful products , Nintendo struggled to meet the fast development and manufacturing turnaround required in the toy market , and fell behind the well - established companies such as Bandai and Tomy . In 1973 , its focus shifted to family entertainment venues with the Laser Clay Shooting System , using the same light gun technology used in Nintendo 's Kousenjuu series of toys , and set up in abandoned bowling alleys . Following some success , Nintendo developed several more light gun machines ( such as the light gun shooter game Wild Gunman ) for the emerging arcade scene . While the Laser Clay Shooting System ranges had to be shut down following excessive costs , Nintendo had found a new market . 1974 -- 1978 : early electronic era The Color TV - Game was Nintendo 's first foray into video gaming , which would become its main business .", "4": "Nintendo 's first venture into the video gaming industry was securing rights to distribute the Magnavox Odyssey video game console in Japan in 1974 . Nintendo began to produce its own hardware in 1977 , with the Color TV - Game home video game consoles . Four versions of these consoles were produced , each including variations of a single game ( for example , Color TV Game 6 featured six versions of Light Tennis ) . A student product developer named Shigeru Miyamoto was hired by Nintendo at this time . He worked for Yokoi , and one of his first tasks was to design the casing for several of the Color TV - Game consoles . Miyamoto went on to create , direct and produce some of Nintendo 's most famous video games and become one of the most recognizable figures in the video game industry . In 1975 , Nintendo moved into the video arcade game industry with EVR Race , designed by their first game designer , Genyo Takeda , and several more games followed . Nintendo had some small success with this venture , but the release of Donkey Kong in 1981 , designed by Miyamoto , changed Nintendo 's fortunes dramatically . The success of the game and many licensing opportunities ( such as ports on the Atari 2600 , Intellivision and ColecoVision ) gave Nintendo a huge boost in profit and in addition , the game also introduced an early iteration of Mario , then known in Japan as Jumpman , the eventual company mascot . 1979 -- 2003 : success with video games Main articles : Game & Watch , NES , Game Boy , SNES , Nintendo 64 , and Game Boy Advance SP The Game & Watch series was Nintendo 's first worldwide success in video game consoles In 1979 , Gunpei Yokoi conceived the idea of a handheld video game , while observing a fellow bullet train commuter who passed the time by interacting idly with a portable LCD calculator , which gave birth to Game & Watch . In 1980 , Nintendo launched Game & Watch -- a handheld video game series developed by Yokoi . These systems do not contain interchangeable cartridges and thus the hardware was tied to the game . The first Game & Watch game , Ball , was distributed worldwide . The modern `` cross '' D - pad design was developed in 1982 , by Yokoi for a Donkey Kong version .", "5": "Proven to be popular , the design was patented by Nintendo . It later earned a Technology & Engineering Emmy Award . In 1983 , Nintendo launched the Family Computer ( colloquialized as `` Famicom '' ) home video game console in Japan , alongside ports of its most popular arcade games . In 1985 , a cosmetically reworked version of the system known outside Japan as the Nintendo Entertainment System or NES , launched in North America . The practice of bundling the system along with select games helped to make Super Mario Bros. one of the best - selling video games in history . In 1988 , Gunpei Yokoi and his team at Nintendo R&D1 conceived the new Game Boy handheld system , with the purpose of merging the two very successful ideas of the Game & Watch 's portability along with the NES 's cartridge interchangeability . Nintendo released the Game Boy in Japan on 21 April 1989 , and in North America on 31 July 1989 . Nintendo of America president Minoru Arakawa managed a deal to bundle the popular third party game Tetris along with the Game Boy , and the pair launched as an instant success . In 1989 , Nintendo announced plans to release the successor to the Famicom , the Super Famicom . Based on a 16 - bit processor , Nintendo boasted significantly superior hardware specifications of graphics , sound , and game speed over the original 8 - bit Famicom . The system was also said to have backwards compatibility with Famicom games , though this feature was ultimately cut upon release . The Super Famicom was finally released relatively late to the market in Japan on 21 November 1990 , and released as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System ( officially abbreviated the Super NES or SNES and commonly shortened to Super Nintendo ) in North America on 23 August 1991 and in Europe in 1992 . Its main rival was the 16 - bit Mega Drive , known in North America as Genesis , which had been advertised aggressively against the nascent 8 - bit NES . A console war between Sega and Nintendo ensued during the early 1990s . From 1990 to 1992 , Nintendo opened World of Nintendo shops in the United States where consumers could test and buy Nintendo products . In August 1993 , Nintendo announced the SNES 's successor , code - named Project Reality .", "6": "Featuring 64 - bit graphics , the new system was developed as a joint venture between Nintendo and North - American - based technology company Silicon Graphics . The system was announced to be released by the end of 1995 , but was subsequently delayed . Meanwhile , Nintendo continued the Nintendo Entertainment System family with the release of the NES - 101 , a smaller redesign of the original NES . Nintendo also announced a CD drive peripheral called the Super NES CD - ROM Adapter , which was co-developed first by Sony with the name `` Play Station '' and then by Philips . Bearing prototypes and joint announcements at the Consumer Electronics Show , it was on track for a 1994 release , but was controversially cancelled . During 1995 , Nintendo announced that it had sold one billion game cartridges worldwide , ten percent of those being from the Mario franchise . Nintendo deemed 1994 the `` Year of the Cartridge '' . To further their support for cartridges , Nintendo announced that Project Reality , which had now been renamed the Ultra 64 , would not use a CD format as expected , but would rather use cartridges as its primary media format . Nintendo IRD general manager Genyo Takeda was impressed by video game development company Rare 's progress with real - time 3D graphics technology , using state of the art Silicon Graphics workstations . As a result , Nintendo bought a 25 % stake in the company , eventually expanding to 49 % , and offered their catalogue of characters to create a CGI game around , making Rare Nintendo 's first western - based second - party developer . Their first game as partners with Nintendo was Donkey Kong Country . The game was a critical success and sold over eight million copies worldwide , making it the second best - selling game in the SNES library . In September 1994 , Nintendo , along with six other video game giants including Sega , Electronic Arts , Atari , Acclaim , Philips , and 3DO approached the United States Senate and demanded a ratings system for video games to be enforced , which prompted the decision to create the Entertainment Software Rating Board . Aiming to produce an affordable virtual reality console , Nintendo released the Virtual Boy in 1995 , designed by Gunpei Yokoi . The console consists of a head - mounted semi-portable system with one red - colored screen for each of the user 's eyes , featuring stereoscopic graphics .", "7": "Games are viewed through a binocular eyepiece and controlled using an affixed gamepad . Critics were generally disappointed with the quality of the games and the red - colored graphics , and complained of gameplay - induced headaches . The system sold poorly and was quietly discontinued . Amid the system 's failure , Yokoi retired from Nintendo . During the same year , Nintendo launched the Satellaview in Japan , a peripheral for the Super Famicom . The accessory allowed users to play video games via broadcast for a set period of time . Various games were made exclusively for the platform , as well as various remakes . In 1996 , Nintendo released the Ultra 64 as the Nintendo 64 in Japan and North America . The console was later released in Europe and Australia in 1997 . The Nintendo 64 continued what had become a Nintendo tradition of hardware design which is focused less on high performance specifications than on design innovations intended to inspire game development . With its market shares slipping to the Sega Saturn and partner - turned - rival Sony PlayStation , Nintendo revitalized its brand by launching a $185 million marketing campaign centered around the `` Play it Loud '' slogan . During the same year , Nintendo also released the Game Boy Pocket in Japan , a smaller version of the Game Boy that generated more sales for the platform . On 4 October 1997 , famed Nintendo developer Gunpei Yokoi died in a car crash . In 1997 , Nintendo released the SNS - 101 ( called Super Famicom Jr. in Japan ) , a smaller redesigned version of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System . In 1998 , the successor to the Game Boy , the Game Boy Color , was released . The system had improved technical specifications allowing it to run games made specifically for the system as well as games released for the Game Boy , albeit with added color . The Game Boy Camera and Printer were also released as accessories . In October 1998 , Retro Studios was founded as an alliance between Nintendo and former Iguana Entertainment founder Jeff Spangenberg . Nintendo saw an opportunity for the new studio to create games for the upcoming GameCube targeting an older demographic , in the same vein as Iguana Entertainment 's successful Turok series for the Nintendo 64 . In 2001 , just three years later , Nintendo introduced the redesigned Game Boy Advance .", "8": "The same year , Nintendo also released the GameCube to lukewarm sales , and it ultimately failed to regain the market share lost by the Nintendo 64 . When Yamauchi , the company 's president since 1949 , retired on 24 May 2002 , Satoru Iwata succeeded as Nintendo 's fourth president , becoming the first Nintendo president who was unrelated to the Yamauchi family through blood or marriage since its founding in 1889 . In 2003 , Nintendo released the Game Boy Advance SP , a redesign of the Game Boy Advance that featured a clamshell design that would later be used in Nintendo 's DS and 3DS handheld video game systems . 2004 -- 2011 : Nintendo DS and Wii Main articles : Nintendo DS and Wii In 2004 , Nintendo released the Nintendo DS , its fourth major handheld system . The DS is a dual screened handheld featuring touch screen capabilities , which respond to either a stylus or the touch of a finger . Former Nintendo president and now chairman Hiroshi Yamauchi was translated by GameScience as explaining , `` If we can increase the scope of the industry , we can re-energise the global market and lift Japan out of depression -- that is Nintendo 's mission . '' Regarding lukewarm GameCube sales which had yielded the company 's first reported operating loss in over 100 years , Yamauchi continued : `` The DS represents a critical moment for Nintendo 's success over the next two years . If it succeeds , we rise to the heavens , if it fails , we sink into hell . '' Thanks to games such as Nintendogs and Mario Kart DS , the DS became a success . In 2005 , Nintendo released the Game Boy Micro in North America , a redesign of the Game Boy Advance . The last system in the Game Boy line , it was also the smallest Game Boy , and the least successful . In the middle of 2005 , Nintendo opened the Nintendo World Store in New York City , which would sell Nintendo games , present a museum of Nintendo history , and host public parties such as for product launches . The store was renovated and renamed as Nintendo New York in 2016 .", "9": "The Wii Remote , along with the Wii , was said to be revolutionary because of its motion detection capabilities In the first half of 2006 , Nintendo released the Nintendo DS Lite , a version of the original Nintendo DS with lighter weight , brighter screen , and better battery life . In addition to this streamlined design , its prolific subset of casual games appealed to the masses , such as the Brain Age series . Meanwhile , New Super Mario Bros. provided a substantial addition to the Mario series when it was launched to the top of sales charts . The successful direction of the Nintendo DS had a big influence on Nintendo 's next home console ( including the common Nintendo Wi - Fi Connection ) , which had been codenamed `` Revolution '' and was now renamed to `` Wii '' . In August 2006 , Nintendo published ES , a now - dormant , open source research operating system project designed around web application integration but for no specific purpose . In the latter half of 2006 , Nintendo released the Wii as the backward - compatible successor to the GameCube . Based upon intricate Wii Remote motion controls and a balance board , the Wii inspired several new game franchises , some targeted at entirely new market segments of casual and fitness gaming . At more than 100 million units , the Wii is the best selling console of the seventh generation , regaining the market share lost during the tenures of the Nintendo 64 and the GameCube . On 1 May 2007 , Nintendo acquired an 80 % stake on video game development company Monolith Soft , previously owned by Bandai Namco . Monolith Soft is best known for developing role - playing games such as the Xenosaga and Baten Kaitos series . During the holiday season of 2008 , Nintendo followed up the success of the DS with the release of the Nintendo DSi in Japan . The system features a more powerful CPU and more RAM , two cameras , one facing towards the player and one facing outwards , and had an online distribution store called DSiWare . The DSi was later released worldwide during 2009 . In the latter half of 2009 , Nintendo released the Nintendo DSi XL in Japan , a larger version of the DSi . This updated system was later released worldwide in 2010 .", "10": "2011 -- 2015 : Nintendo 3DS and Wii U Main articles : Nintendo 3DS and Wii U Nintendo 3DS In 2011 , Nintendo released the Nintendo 3DS , based upon a glasses - free stereoscopic 3D display . In February 2012 , Nintendo acquired Mobiclip , a France - based research and development company specialized in highly optimized software technologies such as video compression . The company 's name was later changed to Nintendo European Research & Development . During the fourth quarter of 2012 , Nintendo released the Wii U . It sold slower than expected , despite being the first eighth generation console . By September 2013 , however , sales had rebounded . Intending to broaden the 3DS market , Nintendo released 2013 's cost - reduced Nintendo 2DS . The 2DS is compatible with but lacks the 3DS 's more expensive but cosmetic autostereoscopic 3D feature . Nintendo also released the Wii Mini , a cheaper and non-networked redesign of the Wii . On 25 September 2013 , Nintendo announced it had purchased a 28 % stake in a Panasonic spin - off company called PUX Corporation . The company specializes in face and voice recognition technology , with which Nintendo intends to improve the usability of future game systems . Nintendo has also worked with this company in the past to create character recognition software for a Nintendo DS touchscreen . After announcing a 30 % dive in profits for the April to December 2013 period , president Satoru Iwata announced he would take a 50 % pay - cut , with other executives seeing reductions by 20 % -- 30 % . In January 2015 , Nintendo announced its exit from the Brazilian market after four years of distributing products in the country . Nintendo cited high import duties and lack of local manufacturing operation as reasons for leaving . Nintendo continues its partnership with Juegos de Video Latinoamérica to distribute products to the rest of Latin America . On 11 July 2015 , Iwata died from a bile duct tumor at the age of 55 . Following his death , representative directors Genyo Takeda and Shigeru Miyamoto jointly led the company on an interim basis until the appointment of Tatsumi Kimishima as Iwata 's successor on 16 September 2015 .", "11": "In addition to Kimishima 's appointment , the company 's management organization was also restructured -- Miyamoto was named `` Creative Fellow '' and Takeda was named `` Technology Fellow '' . 2015 -- present : mobile and Nintendo Switch Main articles : Nintendo mobile games and Nintendo Switch Takashi Tezuka , Shigeru Miyamoto , and Koji Kondo in 2015 On 17 March 2015 , Nintendo announced a partnership with Japanese mobile developer DeNA to produce games for smart devices . The first of these , Miitomo , was released in March 2016 . On the same day , Nintendo announced a new `` dedicated games platform with a brand new concept '' with the codename `` NX '' that would be further revealed in 2016 . Reggie Fils - Aimé , president of Nintendo of America , referred to NX as `` our next home console '' in a June 2015 interview with The Wall Street Journal . In a later article from October 2015 , The Wall Street Journal relayed speculation from unnamed inside sources that the NX was intended to feature `` industry leading '' hardware specifications and be usable as both a home and portable console . It was also reported that Nintendo had begun distributing software development kits ( SDKs ) for it to third - party developers , with the unnamed source further speculating that these moves suggested that the company was on track to introduce it as early as 2016 . At an investor 's meeting on 27 April 2016 , Nintendo announced that the NX would be released worldwide in March 2017 . In an interview with Asahi Shimbun in May 2016 , Kimishima stated that the NX was a new concept that would not succeed the 3DS or Wii U product lines . At a shareholders ' meeting following E3 2016 , Shigeru Miyamoto stated that the company chose not to present the NX during the conference due to concerns that competitors could copy from it if they revealed it too soon . The same day , Kimishima also revealed during a Q&A session with investors that they were also researching virtual reality . In May 2015 , Universal Parks & Resorts announced that it was partnering with Nintendo to create attractions at Universal theme parks based upon Nintendo properties . In May 2016 , Nintendo also expressed a desire to enter the animated film market .", "12": "In November 2016 , it was stated that the area to be created at Universal theme parks is known as Super Nintendo World , which will be completed by 2020 at Universal Studios Japan in time of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics , whereas Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood will get the themed area in an unspecified date after the Japanese version . In July 2016 , the company announced it was bringing back the NES in the form of the NES Classic Edition ( called Nintendo Classic Mini in Europe ) . The plug - and - play console will support HDMI , two - player modes , and have a controller similar to the original NES controller . The controller would be able to connect to a Wii Remote for use with Wii and Wii U Virtual Console games . The NES Classic Edition came with 30 games pre-installed , including Final Fantasy , Kid Icarus , The Legend of Zelda , Zelda II : The Adventure of Link , and Dr. Mario , among others . It was released in November 2016 . Additional controllers were also available . The July 2016 release of the Pokémon Go mobile app by Niantic caused shares in Nintendo to double , due to investor misunderstanding that the software was the property of Nintendo . Later that month , Nintendo released a statement clarifying its relation with Niantic , Nintendo stated it owned 32 % of Pokémon intellectual property owner The Pokémon Company , and though it would receive some licensing and other revenues from the game it expected the impact on Nintendo 's total income to be limited . As a result of the statement Nintendo 's share price fell substantially , losing 17 % in one day of trading . After a reduction in shareprice from the Pokémon Go peak , the company was still valued at over 100 times its net income , a price -- earnings ratio greatly exceeding the average on the Nikkei 225 . Analysts speaking to Bloomberg L.P. and the Financial Times both commented on the potential future value of Nintendo 's IP if transferred to the mobile phone game business . In August 2016 , Nintendo of America sold 90 % of its controlling stake ( 55 % ) in the Seattle Mariners to a group of investors led by mobile phone businessman John Stanton for $640 million .", "13": "After the announcement of the mobile game Super Mario Run in September 2016 , Nintendo 's stock soared to just under its recent high point after the release and success of Pokémon Go earlier in the year , something noted by journalists as even more significant than Pokémon Go , as Super Mario Run was developed in - house by Nintendo , which was not the case with Pokémon Go . In a December 2016 interview prior to the release of Super Mario Run , Miyamoto explained that the company believed that with some of their game franchises , `` the longer you continue to make a series , the more complex the gameplay becomes , and the harder it becomes for new players to be able to get into the series '' , and that the company sees mobile games with simplified controls , such as Super Mario Run , not only allows them to `` make a game that the broadest audience of people could play '' , but to also reintroduce these properties to newer audiences and draw them to their consoles . On 20 October 2016 , Nintendo released a preview trailer about the NX , revealing the official name to be the Nintendo Switch . According to Fils - Aimé , the console gave game developers new abilities to bring their creative concepts to life by opening up the concept of gaming without limits . In December 2016 , Nintendo released Super Mario Run for iOS devices , with the game surpassing over 50 million downloads within a week of its release . Kimishima stated that Nintendo would release a couple of mobile games each year from then on . In September 2017 , Nintendo announced a partnership with the Chinese gaming company Tencent to publish a global version of their commercially successful mobile game , Honor of Kings , for the Nintendo Switch . The announcement lead some to believe that Nintendo could soon have a bigger footprint in China , a region where the Switch is not sold and is largely dominated by Tencent . In November 2017 , it was reported that Nintendo would be teaming up with Illumination Entertainment , an animation division of Universal Pictures best known for the Despicable Me franchise , to make an animated Mario film . In April 2018 , Nintendo announced that Kimishima would be stepping down as company president that June , with Shuntaro Furukawa , managing executive officer and outside director of The Pokémon Company , succeeding him ; pending approval from shareholders .", "14": "Products Home consoles Color TV - game Main article : Color TV - Game Released in 1977 , Japan 's highest selling first generation console is Nintendo 's Color TV Game , with 3 million units sold .

The best - selling gaming console of its time , the NES helped revitalize the US video game industry following the video game crash of 1983 . With the NES , Nintendo introduced a now - standard business model of licensing third - party developers , authorizing them to produce and distribute games for Nintendo 's platform . The NES was bundled with Super Mario Bros. , one of the best - selling video games of all time , and received ports of Nintendo 's most popular arcade games . Nintendo also produced a limited run of the NES Classic Edition in 2016 .

Soon , the development of a variety of enhancement chips which were integrated onto each new game cartridge 's circuit boards , progressed the SNES 's competitive edge .", "15": "While even crude three - dimensional graphics had previously rarely been seen on home consoles , the Super NES 's enhancement chips suddenly enabled a new caliber of games containing increasingly sophisticated faux 3D effects as seen in 1991 's Pilotwings and 1992 's Super Mario Kart . Argonaut Games developed the Super FX chip in order to replicate 3D graphics from their earlier Atari ST and Amiga Starglider series on the Super NES ( more specifically , Starglider 2 ) , starting with Star Fox in 1993 . The SNES is the best - selling console of the 16 - bit era although having experienced a relatively late start and fierce competition from Sega 's Mega Drive / Genesis console .

Nintendo of America also operates two retail stores in the United States , Nintendo New York in Rockefeller Plaza , New York City , which is open to the public , and Nintendo Redmond , co-located at NOA headquarters in Redmond , Washington , which is open only to Nintendo employees and invited guests . Nintendo of America 's Canadian branch , Nintendo of Canada , Ltd. , is based in Vancouver , British Columbia with a distribution center in Toronto , Ontario .", "23": "Nintendo of America 's localization team , dubbed Treehouse , is composed of around eighty staff , who are responsible for translating text from Japanese to English , creating videos and marketing plans , and ensuring that Nintendo 's games release in a polished state . Nintendo of Europe Nintendo 's European subsidiary was established in June 1990 , based in Großostheim , close to Frankfurt , Germany . The company handles operations in Europe and South Africa . Nintendo of Europe 's United Kingdom branch handles operations in that country and in Ireland from its headquarters in Windsor , Berkshire . In June 2014 , NOE initiated a reduction and consolidation process , yielding a combined 130 layoffs : the closing of its office and warehouse , and termination of all employment , in Großostheim ; and the consolidation of all of those operations into , and terminating some employment at , its Frankfurt location . Nintendo Australia Main article : Nintendo Australia Nintendo 's Australian subsidiary is based in Melbourne , Victoria . It handles the publishing , distribution , sales and marketing of Nintendo products in Australia , New Zealand , and Oceania ( Cook Islands , Fiji , New Caledonia , Papua New Guinea , Samoa , and Vanuatu ) . It also manufactures some Wii games locally . Nintendo Australia is also a third - party distributor of some games from Rising Star Games , Bandai Namco Entertainment , Atlus , The Tetris Company , Sega , Koei Tecmo , and Capcom . IQue Main article : iQue A Chinese joint venture between its founder , Wei Yen , and Nintendo , manufactures and distributes official Nintendo consoles and games for the mainland Chinese market , under the iQue brand . The product lineup for the Chinese market is considerably different from that for other markets . For example , Nintendo 's only console in China is the iQue Player , a modified version of the Nintendo 64 . The company has not released its more modern GameCube or Wii to the market , although a version of the Nintendo 3DS XL was released in 2012 . As of 2013 , it is a 100 % Nintendo - owned subsidiary . Nintendo of Korea Nintendo 's South Korean subsidiary was established on 7 July 2006 .", "24": "In March 2016 , the subsidiary was heavily downsized due to a corporate restructuring after analyzing shifts in the current market , laying off 80 % of its employees , leaving only ten people , including CEO Hiroyuki Fukuda . This did not affect any games scheduled for release in South Korea , and Nintendo continued operations there as usual . Subsidiaries Although most of the Research & Development is being done in Japan , there are some R&D facilities in the United States and Europe that are focused on developing software and hardware technologies used in Nintendo products . Although they all are subsidiaries of Nintendo ( and therefore first party ) , they are often referred to as external resources when being involved in joint development processes with Nintendo 's internal developers by the Japanese personal involved . This can be seen in a variety of `` Iwata asks ... '' interviews . Nintendo Software Technology ( NST ) and Nintendo Technology Development ( NTD ) are located in Redmond , Washington , United States , while Nintendo European Research & Development ( NERD ) is located in Paris , France , and Nintendo Network Service Database ( NSD ) is located in Kyoto , Japan . Most external first - party software development is done in Japan , since the only overseas subsidiary is Retro Studios in the United States . Although these studios are all subsidiaries of Nintendo , they are often referred to as external resources when being involved in joint development processes with Nintendo 's internal developers by the Nintendo Entertainment Planning & Development ( EPD ) division . 1 - UP Studio and Nd Cube are located in Tokyo , Japan , while Monolith Soft has one studio located in Tokyo and another in Kyoto . Retro Studios is located in Austin , Texas . Nintendo also established The Pokémon Company alongside Creatures and Game Freak in order to effectively manage the Pokémon brand . Similarly , Warpstar Inc. was formed through a joint investment with HAL Laboratory , which was in charge of the Kirby : Right Back at Ya ! animated series .", "25": "Logos 1889 -- 1950 1950 -- 1960 1960 -- 1965 1965 -- 1970 1967 -- 1975 1968 -- 1975 1970 -- 1975 1972 1975 -- 2006 2006 -- 2016 2016 -- present Policy Content guidelines For many years , Nintendo had a policy of strict content guidelines for video games published on its consoles . Although Nintendo allowed graphic violence in its video games released in Japan , nudity and sexuality were strictly prohibited . Former Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi believed that if the company allowed the licensing of pornographic games , the company 's image would be forever tarnished . Nintendo of America went further in that games released for Nintendo consoles could not feature nudity , sexuality , profanity ( including racism , sexism or slurs ) , blood , graphic or domestic violence , drugs , political messages or religious symbols ( with the exception of widely unpracticed religions , such as the Greek Pantheon ) . The Japanese parent company was concerned that it may be viewed as a `` Japanese Invasion '' by forcing Japanese community standards on North American and European children . Despite the strict guidelines , some exceptions have occurred : Bionic Commando ( though swastikas were eliminated in the US version ) , Smash TV and Golgo 13 : Top Secret Episode contained human violence , the latter also containing implied sexuality and tobacco use ; River City Ransom and Taboo : The Sixth Sense contained nudity , and the latter also contained religious images , as did Castlevania II and III . A known side effect of this policy was the Genesis version of Mortal Kombat selling over double the number of the Super NES version , mainly because Nintendo had forced publisher Acclaim to recolor the red blood to look like white sweat and replace some of the more gory graphics in its release of the game , making it less violent . By contrast , Sega allowed blood and gore to remain in the Genesis version ( though a code was required to unlock the gore ) . Nintendo allowed the Super NES version of Mortal Kombat II to ship uncensored the following year with a content warning on the packaging .", "26": "In 1994 and 2003 , when the ESRB and PEGI ( respectively ) video game ratings systems were introduced , Nintendo chose to abolish most of these policies in favor of consumers making their own choices about the content of the games they played . Today , changes to the content of games are done primarily by the game 's developer or , occasionally , at the request of Nintendo . The only clear - set rule is that ESRB AO - rated games will not be licensed on Nintendo consoles in North America , a practice which is also enforced by Sony and Microsoft , its two greatest competitors in the present market . Nintendo has since allowed several mature - content games to be published on its consoles , including : Perfect Dark , Conker 's Bad Fur Day , Doom and Doom 64 , BMX XXX , the Resident Evil series , Killer7 , the Mortal Kombat series , Eternal Darkness : Sanity 's Requiem , BloodRayne , Geist , Dementium : The Ward , Bayonetta 2 , Devil 's Third and Fatal Frame : Maiden of Black Water . Certain games have continued to be modified , however . For example , Konami was forced to remove all references to cigarettes in the 2000 Game Boy Color game Metal Gear Solid ( although the previous NES version of Metal Gear and the subsequent GameCube game Metal Gear Solid : The Twin Snakes both included such references , as did Wii game MadWorld ) , and maiming and blood were removed from the Nintendo 64 port of Cruis'n USA . Another example is in the Game Boy Advance game Mega Man Zero 3 , in which one of the bosses , called Hellbat Schilt in the Japanese and European releases , was renamed Devilbat Schilt in the North American localization . In North America releases of the Mega Man Zero games , enemies and bosses killed with a saber attack would not gush blood as they did in the Japanese versions . However , the release of the Wii was accompanied by a number of even more controversial games , such as Manhunt 2 , No More Heroes , The House of the Dead : Overkill , and MadWorld , the latter three of which were published exclusively for the console . License guidelines Nintendo of America also had guidelines before 1993 that had to be followed by its licensees to make games for the Nintendo Entertainment System , in addition to the above content guidelines .", "27": "Guidelines were enforced through the 10NES lockout chip . Licensees were not permitted to release the same game for a competing console until two years had passed . Nintendo would decide how many cartridges would be supplied to the licensee . Nintendo would decide how much space would be dedicated for articles , advertising , etc. in the Nintendo Power magazine . There was a minimum number of cartridges that had to be ordered by the licensee from Nintendo . There was a yearly limit of five games that a licensee may produce for a Nintendo console . This rule was created to prevent market over-saturation , which had contributed to the North American video game crash of 1983 . The last rule was circumvented in a number of ways ; for example , Konami , wanting to produce more games for Nintendo 's consoles , formed Ultra Games and later Palcom to produce more games as a technically different publisher . This disadvantaged smaller or emerging companies , as they could not afford to start additional companies . In another side effect , Square Co ( now Square Enix ) executives have suggested that the price of publishing games on the Nintendo 64 along with the degree of censorship and control that Nintendo enforced over its games , most notably Final Fantasy VI , were factors in switching its focus towards Sony 's PlayStation console . In 1993 , a class action suit was taken against Nintendo under allegations that their lockout chip enabled unfair business practices . The case was settled , with the condition that California consumers were entitled to a $3 discount coupon for a game of Nintendo 's choice . Emulation This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( October 2014 ) Nintendo is opposed to any third - party emulation of its video games and consoles , stating that it is the single largest threat to the intellectual property rights of video game developers . However , emulators have been used by Nintendo and licensed third party companies as a means to re-release older games ( through the Virtual Console ) . Seal of quality Nintendo Seal of Quality Seal in NTSC regions Seal of Quality in PAL regions The gold sunburst seal was first used by Nintendo of America , and later Nintendo of Europe . It is displayed on any game , system , or accessory licensed for use on one of its video game consoles , denoting the game has been properly approved by Nintendo .", "28": "The seal is also displayed on any Nintendo - licensed merchandise , such as trading cards , game guides , or apparel , albeit with the words `` Official Nintendo Licensed Product '' . In 2008 , game designer Sid Meier cited the Seal of Quality as one of the three most important innovations in video game history , as it helped set a standard for game quality that protected consumers from shovelware . NTSC regions In NTSC regions , this seal is an elliptical starburst named the `` Official Nintendo Seal '' . Originally , for NTSC countries , the seal was a large , black and gold circular starburst . The seal read as follows : `` This seal is your assurance that NINTENDO has approved and guaranteed the quality of this product . '' This seal was later altered in 1988 : `` approved and guaranteed '' was changed to `` evaluated and approved . '' In 1989 , the seal became gold and white , as it currently appears , with a shortened phrase , `` Official Nintendo Seal of Quality . '' It was changed in 2003 to read `` Official Nintendo Seal . '' The seal currently reads : The official seal is your assurance that this product is licensed or manufactured by Nintendo . Always look for this seal when buying video game systems , accessories , games and related products . PAL regions In PAL regions , the seal is a circular starburst named the `` Original Nintendo Seal of Quality . '' Text near the seal in the Australian Wii manual states : This seal is your assurance that Nintendo has reviewed this product and that it has met our standards for excellence in workmanship , reliability and entertainment value . Always look for this seal when buying games and accessories to ensure complete compatibility with your Nintendo product . Charitable projects Since 1992 Nintendo has teamed with the Starlight Children 's Foundation to build Starlight Fun Center mobile entertainment units and install them in hospitals . 1,000 Starlight Nintendo Fun Center units were installed by the end of 1995 . These units combine several forms of multimedia entertainment , including gaming , and serve as a distraction to brighten moods and boost kids ' morale during hospital stays . Environmental record Nintendo has consistently been ranked last in Greenpeace 's `` Guide to Greener Electronics '' due to Nintendo 's failure to publish information .", "29": "Similarly , they are ranked last in the Enough Project 's `` Conflict Minerals Company Rankings '' due to Nintendo 's refusal to respond to multiple requests for information . Like many other electronics companies , Nintendo offers a take - back recycling program which allows customers to mail in old products they no longer use . Nintendo of America claimed that it took in 548 tons of returned products in 2011 , 98 % of which was either reused or recycled . Trademark During the peak of Nintendo 's success in the video game industry in the 1990s , their name was ubiquitously used to refer to any video game console , regardless of the manufacturer . To prevent their trademark from becoming generic , Nintendo pushed usage of the term `` game console '' , and succeeded in preserving their trademark .

It was developed by Valve Corporation in tandem with Episode One , the first game in the series , and released in 2007 via Valve 's Steam content distribution platform . The episode was released both separately and as a part of a bundled package , The Orange Box . Episode Two gameplay consists of expansive environments , travel and reduced linear play , continuing Valve 's policy of orienting each episode around a particular theme or set of technologies . Following the closing events of Episode One , it sees Gordon Freeman and the series ' other major characters moving away from City 17 to the surrounding countryside . The retail version was released on October 10 , 2007 , in North America and Russia for Windows and Microsoft 's Xbox 360 after repeated delays . The version for the PlayStation 3 was to be released `` around two or three weeks later '' , as it was produced separately at the Electronic Arts UK studio , according to Valve marketing director Doug Lombardi . This version was further delayed . For the rest of the world , the release date was October 18 .", "1": "The Steam version was released worldwide on October 10 , 2007 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Gameplay 1.1 Enemies 1.2 Weapons 1.3 Vehicles 2 Plot 3 Development 3.1 Audio 4 Reception 5 References 6 External links Gameplay ( edit ) As with its predecessors , the game is played in the first person as series protagonist Gordon Freeman against transhuman troops , known as the Combine , and other hostile alien creatures . Levels are linear but add a more open environment , consisting of puzzles and first - person shooter game - play . Sequences involving vehicles are interspersed throughout the game , breaking up moments of combat . One of the focal points of Episode Two was meant to be increased use of vehicles in open areas . However , the game retains its original linear style until the final battle . Episode Two has more puzzles than Episode One , including the biggest physical puzzle yet in the series -- a damaged unstable bridge . The game features numerous `` achievements '' ( similar to PlayStation 3 's Trophies and Xbox Live 's Achievements ) for carrying out certain tasks . Some are essential to game progress , such as helping fight off an antlion invasion , or defeating the first Hunters . Others are optional tricks or feats the player can perform , such as killing a Combine soldier with their own grenade or running down a certain number of enemies with the car . Enemies ( edit ) Episode Two featured a new Hunter enemy , which had just been seen briefly in a recorded message in Episode One . The Hunter serves as one of the most dangerous enemies within the game and as means of emotional development for Alyx Vance . The Hunter is a powerful and resilient enemy which players must often run from while seeking a means to fight back ; Episode Two 's environments are designed with this in mind . An interview in the August 2006 issue of PC Gamer magazine revealed that the Hunter stands 8 feet ( 2.4 m ) tall . Erik Johnson , the game 's project lead , states that the Hunters are `` big and impressive , but they can go anywhere the player can go '' , as the player can encounter them both indoors and outdoors . Ted Backman , senior artist for Valve , talks about how the Hunter can express emotions , being a somewhat non-human character .", "2": "`` We want the Hunter to be able to express nervousness or aggression , ( to show you ) whether it 's aggressive , hurt , or mad . '' Hunters are very aggressive and they tend to operate in packs , but can also be found supporting other Combine troops . Late in the game , they can be found escorting Striders , using their flechette guns to protect the Striders that the player is trying to attack . Hunters primarily attack the player by bracing themselves and firing bursts from their flechette cannon . Four flechettes can vaporize an ordinary human soldier . If they do not strike a living target , the flechette charge up for several seconds and then explode , dealing minor damage to everything nearby . Hunters may also conduct a charging attack or strike with their legs if the player gets too close . Hunters are vulnerable to all weapons , but to compensate , are still quite resilient , making explosives and the pulse rifle 's charged energy ball the most attractive options . Objects thrown with the gravity gun are also effective , especially if the player catches some of their flechettes with the object before hurling it ( one of the in - game Achievements ) . In outdoor environments , they can be run over with a vehicle . Two new forms of antlion appear in the game . The first is the glow - in - the - dark antlion grub , a harmless , worm - like creature which functions as a minor health pickup and a light source . Killing all 333 of these earns an Achievement . The second is the worker antlion ( or ' acidlion ' ) whose body produces a powerful and poisonous acid . In addition to a ranged acid spit attack , they also explode when killed , launching acid around them in a short radius , making them dangerous close - combat opponents . Although they are thematically similar to the bullsquids of the original Half - Life , they are functionally closer to the poison headcrab -- as an enemy that the player will instinctively prioritize as a target . A new antlion guardian , which has glow - in - the - dark features , was also added . This `` Guardian '' hunts and attacks Gordon Freeman as the player endeavors to take the larval extract the Guardian protects .", "3": "The vortigaunt that accompanies the player forbids him from harming the guardian , fearing the extract will be ruined if he does . The player must therefore accomplish his goal while being harried by a creature he can not eliminate , though the player is eventually given the chance to kill it . Weapons ( edit ) An in - game white - board depicting how the Magnusson Device functions Episode Two features no additions to Gordon Freeman 's weapons inventory . Instead , Valve chose to further explore uses for the gravity gun , with which the player can pick up and throw large objects . They introduced more varied Gravity Gun `` ammunition '' , such as logs , flares , and half - height butane tanks , which are easier to aim than full - size fuel drums . Near the end of the game , the player uses `` Magnusson Devices '' , which designer Dario Casali described as a `` sticky bomb that you fire at a Strider 's underbelly that will draw power from the Strider 's internal power source '' . The player uses the gravity gun to attach the bombs to tripodal enemy Striders ; the bombs detonate when fired upon with any other of the player 's weapons , instantly destroying the target . The Hunter escorts prioritize them as targets , either destroying them in the player 's grasp or shooting already - attached ones off . Vehicles ( edit ) Large sections of the game feature a car which resembles a gutted - and - rebuilt 1969 Dodge Charger . It appears to have been tuned for performance . A radar system is installed later in the game , allowing the player to locate Rebel supply caches . In the final battle , a rear - mounted storage rack for Magnusson Devices is added and the radar is adjusted to track enemies and Magnusson Device dispensers . A homing unit is also installed so the player can quickly locate the car in the chaos of the final battle via a readout in the Hazardous Environment suit . Plot ( edit ) The Combine , a multidimensional empire which has enslaved Earth , has used the destruction of their Citadel to open a massive portal . This will allow them to summon reinforcements and destroy the Lambda Resistance . In the mountains outside City 17 , Resistance fighters Gordon Freeman and Alyx Vance climb from the wreckage of the train they used to escape the city . At an old transmission station , they establish communication with resistance scientists Dr.", "4": "Kleiner and Eli Vance at the White Forest base . They learn that the Resistance may be able to close the portal using a copy of a Combine transmission Alyx is carrying . At an abandoned mine , Alyx is critically wounded by a Combine Hunter . A vortigaunt leads them to an underground Resistance shelter . Gordon recovers larval extract from a nearby antlion colony , necessary for the vortigaunts to heal Alyx . While the vortigaunts heal her , the mysterious G - Man contacts Gordon and hints at Alyx 's importance to his own plans , revealing that he saved her life at the Black Mesa Research Facility despite objections from an unspecified third party . He instructs the unconscious Alyx to tell her father to `` prepare for unforeseen consequences '' . After Alyx has recovered , she and Gordon proceed in an old Resistance vehicle , battling Combine troops and surviving an encounter with a Combine Advisor , a high - ranking Combine alien . At White Forest , they are reunited with Resistance Kleiner and Eli , along with Alyx 's pet robot D0g . Gordon is also introduced to the egotistical Dr. Arne Magnusson . The scientists are preparing a rocket which they plan to use with the Combine portal code and the satellite array launched by Gordon at Black Mesa to close the Combine portal . After Gordon fends off a Combine attack on the base , Alyx gives Dr. Kleiner the message from Judith Mossman recovered at the Citadel . It contains footage and the coordinates of the Borealis , an Aperture Science research vessel which , Kleiner explains , vanished along with part of the surrounding drydock . Kleiner insists that it should be used to aid the Resistance effort , while Eli counters that it is impossible to control and must be destroyed . They agree that Alyx and Gordon will travel to the Borealis and attempt to find Mossman . Alyx unconsciously delivers the G - Man 's message to her father , shaking him . Alone with Gordon , Eli reveals that it was the G - Man who provided the test sample that caused the Black Mesa incident , and that he whispered the same warning to him as Gordon entered the test chamber . He promises to explain more after the portal is closed . While the scientists prepare the rocket , White Forest comes under attack by Combine Striders escorted by Hunters .", "5": "Gordon destroys them using experimental explosive charges created by Magnusson . The scientists launch the rocket and close the portal , trapping Combine forces on Earth . Alyx and Gordon prepare to leave for the Borealis and Eli warns Gordon about the ship 's `` cargo '' . The three head to a hangar , intending to board a helicopter , but a pair of advisors burst into the hangar and restrain them . As Eli tries to free them from the advisors ' clutches , he is killed by one of the advisors , but as the second advisor prepares to kill Alyx , D0g bursts in through the roof and chases both advisors away . Alyx , sobbing , clutches her father 's body . Development ( edit ) Episode Two was developed simultaneously with Episode One by a development team led by David Speyrer . This schedule of simultaneous development aided them in streamlining the story between the two games to create an immersive story . The technology used was the same for both games , allowing the development teams to quickly fix any technical problems that might arise from either game ; this happened often because of the multi-platform release . An announcement was made on July 13 , 2006 stating that Episode Two would be released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in addition to the PC , where previous iterations of the series separated . It was originally rumored that Episode Two would be delayed until 2008 . On June 14 , 2007 , however , Valve confirmed the release date for Episode Two to be October 9 , 2007 for all announced platforms . Valve handled the development of the game for the PC and Xbox 360 , while Electronic Arts British office in Chertsey worked on the PlayStation 3 version of the game . It was announced on September 7 , 2007 that the PlayStation 3 version of the game would be delayed because the development studio behind the game was in the United Kingdom , away from Valve 's development team , and therefore lagged behind in its schedule . Valve 's marketing director , Doug Lombardi , gave assurance that the Xbox 360 , PlayStation 3 , and PC versions of the game would be identical in functionality and performance . Audio ( edit ) Episode Two 's soundtrack was composed by Kelly Bailey , who also composed the music for the Half - Life series ' other installments .", "6": "The music is used sparingly throughout , played primarily during scenes of major plot development or particularly important action sequences , such as an early fight with a massive wave of Antlions or speeding down train tracks while being fired on by a helicopter . The soundtrack is included in the Russian edition of The Orange Box and is also sold separately . An audio commentary is also featured , as in Episode One and Lost Coast . A notable change to the vocal cast is the inclusion of actor Tony Todd as the voice of the Vortigaunts . He replaces Louis Gossett , Jr. in the role . Actor Adam Baldwin voices several of the civilian and rebel NPCs , most notably the character who informs the player of the Striders ' locations in the penultimate chapter . Reception ( edit ) Reception Aggregate scores Aggregator Score GameRankings 90.68 % Metacritic 90 / 100 Review scores Publication Score 1UP.com A+ CVG 9 / 10 Eurogamer 9 / 10 GameSpy IGN 9.4 / 10 PC Gamer ( UK ) 93 % New York Times 86 % Half - Life 2 : Episode 2 received critical acclaim . The game had an average score of 90.68 % based on 22 reviews on the review aggregator GameRankings . On Metacritic , the game had an average score of 90 out of 100 , based on 21 reviews . Dan Adams of IGN rated the game 9.4 out of 10 and praised its improved visuals and expansive environments , but cited the short six - hour length as a drawback . He said : `` Any way you look at it , Episode Two stands out , even among the Half - Life series , as something special ... a burly experience packed into roughly six hours or so that offers up all the diversity , level design , and thoughtful gameplay we 've known while making sure to propel the story forward and leave us wanting more . '' Bit-tech.net awarded the game a 10 out of 10 score , citing approval of how the story turns and the introduction of side stories and new characters . 1UP.com praised the game , noting that the game 's `` entire five - hour experience '' was `` vivid , emotionally engaging , and virtually unsurpassed . ''", "7": "PC Gamer UK also applauded Episode Two , noting it `` is the most sumptuous chapter of the Half - Life saga , and by a country mile . '' The New York Times enjoyed the gameplay , saying , `` The battles in Episode 2 of Half - Life 2 often require as much ingenuity as they do fast reflexes . '' Computer and Video Games commented on the game 's graphics , saying that although the game 's engine was `` starting to look its age , '' its `` wonderful art design and the odd bit of technical spit - shine ensure that Episode Two ( ... ) does n't lose any of its wow factor . '' They also noticed that the game `` goes about fixing a lot of the niggling complaints we had about Episode One , '' especially applauding the open forests and rocky hills from Episode Two . Several reviewers noted shortcomings . The New York Times commented on the story for Episode Two , noting , `` While it sows a few seeds for the final episode of the trilogy , the game lacks the driving force of the previous episode . '' GameSpy criticized the game , saying it is `` a little more inconsistent than its predecessors , '' and that the opening segments of the game were `` arguably the weakest '' parts .

{ "0": "Constitutional Convention ( United states ) - wikipedia Constitutional Convention ( United states ) Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the original convention that created the U.S. Constitution . For that Constitution 's method of changing itself , see Article Five of the United States Constitution . `` Federal Convention '' redirects here . For other uses , see Federal Convention ( disambiguation ) . Scene at the Signing of the Constitution of the United States The Constitutional Convention ( also known as the Philadelphia Convention , the Federal Convention , or the Grand Convention at Philadelphia ) took place from May 25 to September 17 , 1787 , in the old Pennsylvania State House ( later known as Independence Hall because of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence there eleven years before ) in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania . Although the Convention was intended to revise the league of states and first system of government under the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union , which were first proposed in 1776 , adopted by the Second Continental Congress in 1778 and only finally unanimously ratified by the Original Thirteen States by 1781 ) , the intention from the outset of many of its proponents , chief among them James Madison of Virginia and Alexander Hamilton of New York , was to create a new government rather than fix the existing one . The delegates elected George Washington of Virginia , former commanding general of the Continental Army in the late American Revolutionary War ( 1775 - 1783 ) , to preside over the Convention . The result of the Convention was the creation of the Constitution of the United States , placing the Convention among the most significant events in the history of the United States and indeed of worldwide historical , political and social influence . The most contentious disputes revolved around composition and election of the upper legislative house in the future bicameral Congress , to be known as the Senate , how `` proportional representation '' was to be defined ( whether to include slaves or other property ) , whether to divide the executive power between three persons or invest the power into a single chief executive to be called the President , how to elect the President , how long his term was to be and whether he could run for reelection , what offenses should be impeachable , the nature of a fugitive slave clause , whether to allow the abolition of the slave trade , and whether judges should be chosen by the legislature or executive .", "1": "Most of the time during the Convention was spent on deciding these issues , while the powers of legislature , executive , and judiciary were not heavily disputed . Once the Convention began , the delegates first agreed on the principles of the Convention , then they agreed on Madison 's proposed Virginia Plan and began to modify it . A Committee of Detail , assembled during the July 4th recess , eventually produced a rough draft of the constitution . Most of the rough draft remained in place , and can be found in the final version of the constitution . After the final issues were resolved , the Committee on Style produced the final version , and it was voted on by the delegates , inscribed on parchment with engraving for printing and sent to the states and their legislatures .

It soon became evident to nearly all that the chronically underfunded Confederation government , as originally organized , was inadequate for managing the various conflicts that arose among the states . As the Articles of Confederation could only be amended by unanimous vote of the states , any state had effective veto power over any proposed change . In addition , the Articles gave the weak federal government no taxing power : it was wholly dependent on the states for its money , and had no power to force delinquent states to pay .", "2": "Once the immediate task of winning the American Revolutionary War of 1775 to 1783 had passed , the states began to look to their own interests , and disputes arose . These included a dispute between Maryland and Virginia over the Potomac River and opposition to Rhode Island 's imposing taxes on all traffic passing through it on the post road . James Madison suggested that state governments should appoint commissioners `` to take into consideration the trade of the United States ; to examine the relative situation and trade of said states ; to consider how far a uniform system in their commercial regulations may be necessary to their common interests and permanent harmony '' . Another impetus for the convention was Shays ' Rebellion of 1786 - 1787 . A political conflict between Boston merchants and rural farmers over issues including tax debts had broken out into an open rebellion . This rebellion was led by a former Revolutionary War captain , Daniel Shays , a small farmer with tax debts , who had never received payment for his service in the Continental Army . The rebellion took months for Massachusetts to put down completely , and some desired a federal army that would be able to put down such insurrections . In September 1786 , at the Annapolis Convention , delegates from five states called for a Constitutional Convention in order to discuss possible improvements to the Articles of Confederation . The subsequent Constitutional Convention took place in Philadelphia , convening in the Old Pennsylvania State House ( then becoming known as Independence Hall ) on May 14 , 1787 . Rhode Island , fearing that the Convention would work to its disadvantage , boycotted the Convention and , when the Constitution was put to the states during the next year of controversial debates , initially refused to ratify it , waiting until May 1790 to become the thirteenth , a year after the new federal government commenced . The Convention ( edit ) Independence Hall 's Assembly Room Due to the difficulty of travel in the late 18th century , very few of the selected delegates were present on the designated day of May 14 , 1787 , and it was not until May 25 that a quorum of seven states was secured . ( New Hampshire delegates would not join the Convention until more than halfway through the proceedings , on July 23 . ) James Madison arrived first , and soon most of the Virginia delegation arrived .", "3": "While waiting for the other delegates , the Virginia delegation produced the Virginia Plan , which was designed and written by James Madison . On May 25 , the delegations convened in the Pennsylvania State House . George Washington was unanimously elected president of the Convention , and it was agreed that the discussions and votes would be kept secret until the conclusion of the meeting . Despite the sweltering summer heat , the windows of the meeting hall were nailed shut to keep the proceedings a secret from the public . Although William Jackson was elected as secretary , his records were brief and included very little detail . Madison 's Notes of Debates in the Federal Convention of 1787 , supplemented by the notes of Robert Yates , remain the most complete record of the Convention . Throughout the debate , delegates constantly referred to precedents from history in support of their position . Most commonly , they referred to the history of England , in particular the Glorious Revolution ( often simply called `` The Revolution '' ) , classical history ( mainly the Roman Republic and the leagues of Greek city - states ) , and recent precedents from Holland and Germany . Outside the Convention in Philadelphia , there was a national convening of the Society of the Cincinnati . Washington was said to be embarrassed . The 1776 `` old republican '' delegates like Elbridge Gerry ( MA ) found anything military or hereditary anathema . The Presbyterian Synod of Philadelphia and New York convention was meeting to redefine its Confession , dropping the faith requirement for civil authority to prohibit false worship . Protestant Episcopalian Washington attended a Roman Catholic Mass and dinner . Revolution veteran Jonas Phillips , of the Mikveh Israel Synagogue , petitioned the Convention to avoid a national oath including belief in both Old and New Testaments . Merchants of Providence , Rhode Island , petitioned for consideration , though their Assembly had not sent a delegation . Manasseh Cutler came directly from the capital in New York and found himself a frequent dinner guest among the delegates . He carried grants of five million acres to parcel out among The Ohio Company and `` speculators '' , including some who were attending the Convention . A Philadelphia guest of Robert Morris , Noah Webster would write a pamphlet immediately after the signing . `` Leading Principles of the Federal Convention '' advocated adoption of the Constitution . It was published much earlier and more widely circulated than today 's better known Federalist Papers .", "4": "James Madison 's blueprint ( edit ) While waiting for the Convention to formally begin , James Madison sketched out his initial draft , which became known as the Virginia Plan and reflected his views as a strong nationalist . By the time the rest of the Virginia delegation arrived , most of the Pennsylvania delegation had arrived as well . They agreed on Madison 's plan , and formed what came to be the predominant coalition . By the time the Convention started , the only blueprints that had been assembled were Madison 's Virginia Plan , and Charles Pinckney 's plan . As Pinckney did n't have a coalition behind his plan , Madison 's plan was the starting point for deliberations . James Madison , the author of the Virginia Plan The Convention agreed on several principles . Most importantly , they agreed that the Convention should go beyond its mandate merely to amend the Articles of Confederation , and instead should produce a new constitution outright . While some delegates thought this illegal , the Articles of Confederation were closer to a treaty between sovereign states than they were to a national constitution , so the genuine legal problems were limited . Another principle they agreed on was that the new government would have all the powers of the Confederation Congress , plus additional powers over the states . Once agreeing on these principles , the Convention voted on the Virginia plan and signaled their approval for it . Once this was done , they began modifying it . Madison 's plan operated on several assumptions that were not seriously challenged . During the deliberations , few raised serious objections to the planned bicameral congress , nor the separate executive function , nor the separate judicial function . As English law had typically recognized government as having two separate functions , law making embodied in the legislature , and law executing embodied in the king and his courts , the division of the legislature from the executive and judiciary was a natural and uncontested point . The division of the legislature into an upper and lower house was n't questioned either , despite the obscure origins of the English House of Lords and its role as the representative of the hereditary nobility . Americans had seldom known any but bicameral legislatures , both in Britain and in most state governments . The main exceptions to this were the dysfunctional Confederation Congress and the unicameral Pennsylvania legislature , which was seen as quickly vacillating between partisan extremes after each election .", "5": "Experience had convinced the delegates that an upper house was necessary to tame the passions of the lower classes against the interests of wealthy merchants and landowners . Since America had no native hereditary aristocracy , the character of this upper house was designed to protect the interests of this wealthy elite , the `` minority of the opulent , '' against the interests of the lower classes , who constituted the majority of the population . In England , at this day , if elections were open to all classes of people , the property of landed proprietors would be insecure . An agrarian law would soon take place . If these observations be just , our government ought to secure the permanent interests of the country against innovation . Landholders ought to have a share in the government , to support these invaluable interests , and to balance and check the other . They ought to be so constituted as to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority . The Senate , therefore , ought to be this body ; and to answer these purposes , they ought to have permanency and stability . -- James Madison , quoted in Notes of the Secret Debates of the Federal Convention of 1787 by Robert Yates On Thursday , June 7 , it was proposed that senators should be chosen directly by the state legislatures , instead of by popular vote , as this method was more likely to preserve the power of the upper classes . Convention delegate Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts observed that `` the great mercantile interest and of stockholders , is not provided for in any mode of election - they will however be better represented if the State legislatures choose the second branch . '' The proposal was carried unanimously . The delegates also agreed with Madison that the executive function had to be independent of the legislature . In their aversion to kingly power , American legislatures had created state governments where the executive was beholden to the legislature , and by the late 1780s this was widely seen as being a source of paralysis . The Confederation government was the ultimate example of this . Furthermore , in the English tradition , judges were seen as being agents of the King and his court , who represented him throughout his realm .", "6": "Madison believed that in the American states , this direct link between state executives and judges was a source of corruption through patronage , and thought the link had to be severed between the two , thus creating the `` third branch '' of the judiciary which had been without any direct precedent before this point . Madison , however , did not believe that the judiciary should be truly independent , but rather beholden to the legislature rather than the executive . At the Convention , some sided with Madison that the legislature should choose judges , while others believed the president should choose judges . A compromise was eventually reached that the president should choose judges and the Senate confirm them . In a few areas , Madison 's plan included provisions that had little support among the delegates . Few agreed with Madison that the legislature should be able to invalidate state laws , so the idea was dropped . While most thought there should be some mechanism to invalidate bad laws by congress , few agreed with Madison that a board of the executive and judges should decide on this . Instead , the power was given solely to the executive in the form of the veto . Many also thought this would be useful to protect the executive , whom many worried might become beholden to an imperial legislature . Also , during the deliberations , the New Jersey Plan was introduced , although it was more of a protest to the excessive national character of the Virginia plan , and was not seriously considered . The office of Vice President was also included later in the deliberations , mainly to provide the president a successor if he was unable to complete his term but also to provide presidential electors with an incentive to vote for at least one out of state candidate in addition to a `` favorite son '' from their own state or region . The early debate ( edit ) Each state was allowed to cast a single vote either for or against a proposal during the debates in accordance with the majority opinion of the state 's delegates . Throughout the Convention , delegates would regularly come and go , with only 30 -- 40 being present on a typical day . Consequently , if a state 's delegates were equally divided in their views on a given proposal , or if too few of the state 's delegates were in attendance to establish a quorum for the delegation when votes were being cast on a particular proposal , that state 's delegation had essentially no effect on the outcome of the vote on the proposal .", "7": "Thus , for example , after two of New York 's three delegates abandoned the Convention in mid July with no intention of returning , New York was left unable to vote on any further proposals at the Convention , although Hamilton would continue to periodically attend and occasionally to speak during the debates . All communities divide themselves into the few and the many . The first are the rich and well born , the other the mass of the people . The voice of the people has been said to be the voice of God ; and however generally this maxim has been quoted and believed , it is not true in fact . The people are turbulent and changing ; they seldom judge or determine right . Give therefore to the first class a distinct , permanent share in the government . They will check the unsteadiness of the second , and as they can not receive any advantage by a change , they therefore will ever maintain good government . Can a democratic assembly , who annually revolve in the mass of the people , be supposed steadily to pursue the public good ? Nothing but a permanent body can check the imprudence of democracy . Their turbulent and uncontroling disposition requires checks . -- Alexander Hamilton , quoted in Notes of the Secret Debates of the Federal Convention of 1787 by Robert Yates The first area of major dispute was the manner by which the lower house would be apportioned . A minority wanted it to be apportioned so that all states would have equal weight , though this was never seriously considered . Most wanted it apportioned in accordance with some mixture of property and population . Though there was discussion on how to calculate property for this purpose , the issue of property was later dropped because of its difficulty , and an assumption that property would closely correlate to population . Most accepted the desire among the slave states to count slaves as part of the population , although their servile status was raised as a major objection against this . The Three - Fifths Compromise assessing population by adding the number of free persons to three - fifths of `` all other persons '' ( slaves ) was agreed to without serious dispute . In 1783 , when attempting to assess a national taxation system , the Confederation Congress had considered a three fifths ratio , which did not achieve unanimity . This compromise resulted in a large coalition of states , including the small slave states of South Carolina and Georgia , backing the Virginia plan and thus expanding the power of the primary coalition .", "8": "That the lower house was to be elected directly by the voters was also accepted without major dispute . More contentious than the lower house was the question of the upper house . Few agreed with Madison that its members should be elected by the lower house . James Wilson suggested election by popular vote versus election by state legislature , but his proposal was shot down 10 -- 1 by the delegates . Most delegates did n't question the intelligence of the voters , rather what concerned them was the slowness by which information spread in the late 18th century . At the time of the Convention , they noted that local newspapers said little of current events , and what little they had was sketchy and dated . Local papers even said little about the meeting of the Convention . Alexander Hamilton proposed extending the term in office for senators to life , considering earlier proposals of four and seven years inefficient to enable the `` rich and well born '' to have a `` distinct , permanent share in the government , '' which could `` check the imprudence of democracy . '' Moreover , Hamilton proposed that senators not be elected directly by the general public , but by `` electors '' chosen for that purpose . Front side of the Virginia Plan Besides the problems of direct election , the new Constitution was seen as such a radical break with the old system , by which delegates were elected to the Confederation Congress by state legislatures , that the Convention agreed to retain this method of electing senators to make the constitutional change less radical . The more difficult problem was the issue of apportionment . The Connecticut delegation offered a compromise , whereby the number of representatives for each state in the lower house would be apportioned based on the relative size of the state 's population , while the number of representatives in the upper house would be the same for all of the states , irrespective of size . The large states , fearing a diminution of their influence in the legislature under this plan , opposed this proposal . Unable to reach agreement , the delegates decided to leave this issue for further consideration later during the meeting . The delegates could n't agree on whether the executive should be a single person , or a board of three . Many wished to limit the power of the executive and thus supported the proposal to divide the executive power between three persons .", "9": "The possible problems of this system , in addition to the knowledge that George Washington would probably be the first president , calmed the fears enough so that the proponents of a singular executive could accumulate a large coalition . This issue came up occasionally after the matter was settled , but was never again seriously doubted . Another issue concerned the election of the president . Few agreed with Madison that the executive should be elected by the legislature . There was widespread concern with direct election , because information diffused so slowly in the late 18th century , and because of concerns that people would only vote for candidates from their state or region . A vocal minority wanted the national executive to be chosen by the governors of the states . The issue was one of the last major issues to be resolved , and was done so in the electoral college . At the time , before the formation of modern political parties , there was widespread concern that candidates would routinely fail to secure a majority of electors in the electoral college . The method of resolving this problem therefore was a contested issue . Most thought that the house should then choose the president , since it most closely reflected the will of the people . This caused dissension among delegates from smaller states , who realized that this would put their states at a disadvantage . To resolve this dispute , the Convention agreed that the house would elect the president if no candidate had an electoral college majority , but that each state delegation would vote as a bloc , rather than individually . As the Convention was entering its second full month of deliberations , it was decided that further consideration of the prickly question of how to apportion representatives in the national legislature should be referred to a committee composed of one delegate from each of the eleven states that were present at that time at the Convention . The members of this `` Grand Committee , '' as it has come to be known , included Elbridge Gerry , Oliver Ellsworth , Robert Yates , William Paterson , Gunning Bedford , Jr. , George Mason , William Davie , John Rutledge , Abraham Baldwin , and Benjamin Franklin . In its report to the Convention on July 5 , the committee offered a compromise . The large states had opposed the Connecticut Compromise , because they felt it gave too much power to the smaller states .", "10": "The Grand Committee 's proposal added the requirement that revenue bills originate in the lower house and not be subject to modification by the upper house ( although this Origination Clause would later be modified so that revenue bills could be amended in the upper house , or Senate ) . With this modification , the Convention in a close vote adopted the compromise on July 16 . Nationalist delegates remained bitterly opposed , however , until on July 23 they succeeded in further modifying the compromise to give members of the Senate individual voting power , rather than having votes taken by each state 's representatives en bloc , as had occurred in Congress under the Articles of Confederation . This accomplished the nationalist goal of preventing state governments from having a direct say in Congress 's choice to make national laws . The final document was thus a mixture of Madison 's original `` national '' constitution and the desired `` federal '' Constitution that many of the delegates sought . The first draft ( edit ) The Convention adjourned from July 26 to August 6 to await the report of the Committee of Detail , which was to produce a first draft of the Constitution . It was chaired by John Rutledge , with the other members including Edmund Randolph , Oliver Ellsworth , James Wilson , and Nathaniel Gorham . Though the committee did not record minutes of its proceedings , three key surviving documents offer clues to the committee 's handiwork : an outline by Randolph with edits by Rutledge , extensive notes and a second draft by Wilson , also with Rutledge 's edits , and the committee 's final report to the Convention . From this evidence it is thought that the committee used the original Virginia Plan , the decisions of the Convention on modifications to that plan , and other sources , such as the Articles of Confederation , provisions of the state constitutions , and even Charles Pinckney 's plan , to produce the first full draft , which author David O. Stewart has called a `` remarkable copy - and - paste job . '' Randolph adopted two rules in preparing his initial outline : that the Constitution should only include essential principles , avoiding minor provisions that would change over time , and that it should be stated in simple and precise language .", "11": "Much of what was included in the committee 's report consisted of numerous details that the Convention had never discussed but which the committee correctly viewed as uncontroversial and unlikely to be challenged ; and as such , much of the committee 's proposal would ultimately be incorporated into the final version of the Constitution without debate . Examples of these details included the Speech and Debate Clause , which grants members of Congress immunity for comments made in their jobs , and the rules for organizing the House of Representatives and the Senate . However , Rutledge , himself a former state governor , was determined that while the new national government should be stronger than the Confederation government had been , the national government 's power over the states should not be limitless ; and at Rutledge 's urging , the committee went beyond what the Convention had proposed . As Stewart describes it , the committee `` hijacked '' and remade the Constitution , altering critical agreements the Convention delegates had already made , enhancing the powers of the states at the expense of the national government , and adding several far - reaching provisions that the Convention had never discussed . John Rutledge , a judge and former governor of South Carolina , chaired the committee that wrote the first draft of the Constitution . He argued for a federal government of limited power . The first major change , insisted on by Rutledge , was meant to sharply curtail the essentially unlimited powers to legislate `` in all cases for the general interests of the Union '' that the Convention only two weeks earlier had agreed to grant the Congress . Rutledge and Randolph worried that the broad powers implied in the language agreed on by the Convention would have given the national government too much power at the expense of the states . In Randolph 's outline the committee replaced that language with a list of 18 specific `` enumerated '' powers , many adopted from the Articles of Confederation , that would strictly limit the Congress ' authority to measures such as imposing taxes , making treaties , going to war , and establishing post offices . Rutledge , however , was not able to completely convince all of the members of the committee to accept the change .", "12": "Over the course of a series of drafts , a catchall provision ( the `` Necessary and Proper Clause '' ) was eventually added , most likely by Wilson , a nationalist little concerned with the sovereignty of individual states , giving the Congress the broad power `` to make all Laws that shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers , and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States , or in any department or officer thereof . '' Another revision of Wilson 's draft also placed eight specific limits on the states , such as barring them from independently entering into treaties and from printing their own money , providing a certain degree of balance to the limits on the national government intended by Rutledge 's list of enumerated powers . In addition , Wilson 's draft modified the language of the Supremacy Clause adopted by the Convention , to ensure that national law would take precedence over inconsistent state laws . These changes set the final balance between the national and state governments that would be entered into the final document , as the Convention never challenged this dual - sovereignty between nation and state that had been fashioned by Rutledge and Wilson . Another set of radical changes introduced by the Committee of Detail proved far more contentious when the committee 's report was presented to the Convention . On the day the Convention had agreed to appoint the committee , Southerner Charles Cotesworth Pinckney , of South Carolina , had warned of dire consequences should the committee fail to include protections for slavery in the Southern states , or allow for taxing of Southern agricultural exports . Pinckney and his fellow Southern delegates must have been delighted to see that the committee had included three provisions that explicitly restricted the Congress ' authority in ways favorable to Southern interests . The proposed language would bar the Congress from ever interfering with the slave trade . It would also prohibit taxation of exports , and would require that any legislation concerning regulation of foreign commerce through tariffs or quotas ( that is , any laws akin to England 's `` Navigation Acts '' ) pass only with two - thirds majorities of both houses of Congress . While much of the rest of the committee 's report would be accepted without serious challenge on the Convention floor , these last three proposals would provoke outrage from Northern delegates and slavery opponents . The final report of the committee , which became the first draft of the Constitution , was the first workable constitutional plan , as Madison 's Virginia Plan had simply been an outline of goals and a broad structure .", "13": "Even after it issued this report , the committee continued to meet off and on until early September . Further modifications and concluding debate ( edit ) Another month of discussion and relatively minor refinement followed , during which several attempts were made to alter the Rutledge draft , though few were successful . Some wanted to add property qualifications for people to hold office , while others wanted to prevent the national government from issuing paper money . Madison in particular wanted to push the Constitution back in the direction of his Virginia plan . One important change that did make it into the final version included the agreement between northern and southern delegates to empower Congress to end the slave trade starting in 1808 . Southern and northern delegates also agreed to strengthen the Fugitive Slave Clause in exchange for removing a requirement that two - thirds of Congress agree on `` navigation acts '' ( regulations of commerce between states and foreign governments ) . The two - thirds requirement was favored by southern delegates , who thought Congress might pass navigation acts that would be economically harmful to slaveholders . Once the Convention had finished amending the first draft from the Committee of Detail , a new set of unresolved questions were sent to several different committees for resolution . The Committee of Detail was considering several questions related to habeas corpus , freedom of the press , and an executive council to advise the president . Two committees addressed questions related to the slave trade and the assumption of war debts . A new committee was created , the Committee on Postponed Parts , to address other questions that had been postponed . Its members , such as Madison , were delegates who had shown a greater desire for compromise and were chosen for this reason as most in the Convention wanted to finish their work and go home . The committee dealt with questions related to the taxes , war making , patents and copyrights , relations with Indian tribes , and Franklin 's compromise to require money bills to originate in the House . The biggest issue they addressed was the presidency , and the final compromise was written by Madison with the committee 's input . They adopted Wilson 's earlier plan for choosing the president by an electoral college , and settled on the method of choosing the president if no candidate had an electoral college majority , which many such as Madison thought would be `` nineteen times out of twenty '' .", "14": "The committee also shortened the president 's term from seven years to four years , freed the president to seek re-election after an initial term , and moved impeachment trials from the courts to the Senate . They also created the office of the vice president , whose only roles were to succeed a president unable to complete a term of office , to preside over the Senate , and to cast tie - breaking votes in the Senate . The committee transferred important powers from the Senate to the president , for example the power to make treaties and appoint ambassadors . One controversial issue throughout much of the Convention had been the length of the president 's term , and whether the president was to be term limited . The problem had resulted from the understanding that the president would be chosen by Congress ; the decision to have the president be chosen instead by an electoral college reduced the chance of the president becoming beholden to Congress , so a shorter term with eligibility for re-election became a viable option . Near the end of the Convention , Gerry , Randolph , and Mason emerged as the main force of opposition . Their fears were increased as the Convention moved from Madison 's vague Virginia Plan to the concrete plan of Rutledge 's Committee of Detail . Some have argued that Randolph 's attacks on the Constitution were motivated by political ambition , in particular his anticipation of possibly facing rival Patrick Henry in a future election . The main objection of the three was the compromise that would allow Congress to pass `` navigation acts '' with a simple majority in exchange for strengthened slave provisions . Among their other objections was an opposition to the office of vice president . Though most of their complaints did not result in changes , a couple did . Mason succeeded in adding `` high crimes and misdemeanors '' to the impeachment clause . Gerry also convinced the Convention to include a second method for ratification of amendments . The report out of the Committee of Detail had included only one mechanism for constitutional amendment , in which two - thirds of the states had to ask Congress to convene a convention for consideration of amendments . Upon Gerry 's urging , the Convention added back the Virginia Plan 's original method whereby Congress would propose amendments that the states would then ratify . All amendments to the Constitution , save the 21st amendment , have been made through this latter method .", "15": "Despite their successes , these three dissenters grew increasingly unpopular as most other delegates wanted to bring the Convention 's business to an end and return home . As the Convention was drawing to a conclusion , and delegates prepared to refer the Constitution to the Committee on Style to pen the final version , one delegate raised an objection over civil trials . He wanted to guarantee the right to a jury trial in civil matters , and Mason saw in this a larger opportunity . Mason told the Convention that the constitution should include a bill of rights , which he thought could be prepared in a few hours . Gerry agreed , though the rest of the committee overruled them . They wanted to go home , and thought this was nothing more than another delaying tactic . Few at the time realized how important the issue would become , with the absence of a bill of rights becoming the main argument of the anti-Federalists against ratification . Most of the Convention 's delegates thought that states already protected individual rights , and that the Constitution did not authorize the national government to take away rights , so there was no need to include protections of rights . Once the Convention moved beyond this point , the delegates addressed a couple of last - minute issues . Importantly , they modified the language that required spending bills to originate in the House of Representatives and be flatly accepted or rejected , unmodified , by the Senate . The new language empowered the Senate to modify spending bills proposed by the House . Drafting and signing ( edit ) U.S. Postage , Issue of 1937 , depicting Delegates at the signing of the Constitution , engraving after a painting by Junius Brutus Stearns Once the final modifications had been made , the Committee of Style and Arrangement was appointed `` to revise the style of and arrange the articles which had been agreed to by the house . '' Unlike other committees , whose members were named so the committees included members from different regions , this final committee included no champions of the small states . Its members were mostly in favor of a strong national government and unsympathetic to calls for states ' rights . They were William Samuel Johnson ( Connecticut ) , Alexander Hamilton ( New York ) , Gouverneur Morris ( Pennsylvania ) , James Madison ( Virginia ) , and Rufus King ( Massachusetts ) .", "16": "On Wednesday , September 12 , the report of the `` committee of style '' was ordered printed for the convenience of the delegates . For three days , the Convention compared this final version with the proceedings of the Convention . The Constitution was then ordered engrossed on Saturday , September 15 by Jacob Shallus , and was submitted for signing on September 17 . It made at least one important change to what the Convention had agreed to ; King wanted to prevent states from interfering in contracts . Although the Convention never took up the matter , his language was now inserted , creating the contract clause . Gouverneur Morris is credited , both now and then , as the chief draftsman of the final document , including the stirring preamble . Not all the delegates were pleased with the results ; thirteen left before the ceremony , and three of those remaining refused to sign : Edmund Randolph of Virginia , George Mason of Virginia , and Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts . George Mason demanded a Bill of Rights if he was to support the Constitution . The Bill of Rights was not included in the Constitution submitted to the states for ratification , but many states ratified the Constitution with the understanding that a bill of rights would soon follow . Shortly before the document was to be signed , Gorham proposed to lower the size of congressional districts from 40,000 to 30,000 citizens . A similar measure had been proposed earlier , and failed by one vote . George Washington spoke up here , making his only substantive contribution to the text of the Constitution in supporting this move . The Convention adopted it without further debate . Gorham would sign the document , although he had openly doubted whether the United States would remain a single , unified nation for more than 150 years . Ultimately , 39 of the original 55 delegates ended up signing , but it is likely that none were completely satisfied .", "17": "Their views were summed up by Benjamin Franklin , who said , I confess that There are several parts of this Constitution which I do not at present approve , but I am not sure I shall never approve them ... I doubt too whether any other Convention we can obtain , may be able to make a better Constitution ... It therefore astonishes me , Sir , to find this system approaching so near to perfection as it does ; and I think it will astonish our enemies ... Rhode Island never sent delegates , and two of New York 's three delegates did not stay at the Convention for long . Therefore , as George Washington stated , the document was executed by `` eleven states , and Colonel Hamilton . '' Washington signed the document first , and then moving by state delegation from north to south , as had been the custom throughout the Convention , the delegates filed to the front of the room to sign their names . At the time the document was signed , Franklin gave a persuasive speech involving an anecdote on a sun that was painted on the back of Washington 's Chippendale chair . As recounted in Madison 's notes : Whilst the last members were signing it Doctor . Franklin looking towards the Presidents Chair , at the back of which a rising sun happened to be painted , observed to a few members near him , that Painters had found it difficult to distinguish in their art a rising from a setting sun . I have said he , often and often in the course of the Session , and the vicissitudes of my hopes and fears as to its issue , looked at that behind the President without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting : But now at length I have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting Sun . The Constitution was then submitted to the states for ratification , pursuant to its own Article VII . Proposed plans ( edit ) Several plans were introduced , with the most important plan being that of James Madison ( the Virginia Plan ) . The Convention 's work was mostly a matter of modifying this plan . Charles Pinckney also introduced a plan , although this was n't considered and its exact character has been lost to history . After the Convention was well under way , the New Jersey Plan was introduced though never seriously considered . It was mainly a protest to what some delegates thought was the excessively radical change from the Articles of Confederation .", "18": "Alexander Hamilton also offered a plan after the Convention was well under way , though it included an executive serving for life and therefore the delegates felt it too closely resembled a monarchy . Historians are unsure how serious he was about this , and some have speculated that he may have done it to make Madison 's plan look moderate by comparison . The Connecticut Compromise was n't a plan but one of several compromises offered by the Connecticut delegation . It was key to the ultimate ratification of the constitution , but was only included after being modified by Benjamin Franklin in order to make it more appealing to larger states . Virginia plan ( edit ) Main article : Virginia Plan The Virginia Plan Prior to the start of the Convention , the Virginian delegates met and , drawing largely from Madison 's suggestions , came up with what came to be known as the Virginia Plan , also known as the Large State Plan . For this reason , James Madison is sometimes called the Father of the Constitution . Presented by Virginia governor Edmund Randolph on May 29 , 1787 , the Virginia Plan proposed a very powerful bicameral legislature . Both houses of the legislature would be determined proportionately . The lower house would be elected by the people , and the upper house would be elected by the lower house . The executive would exist solely to ensure that the will of the legislature was carried out and would therefore be selected by the legislature . The Virginia Plan also created a judiciary , and gave both the executive and some of the judiciary the power to veto , subject to override . New Jersey plan ( edit ) Main article : New Jersey Plan The New Jersey Plan After the Virginia Plan was introduced , New Jersey delegate William Paterson asked for an adjournment to contemplate the Plan . Under the Articles of Confederation , each state had equal representation in Congress , exercising one vote each . The Virginia Plan threatened to limit the smaller states ' power by making both houses of the legislature proportionate to population . On June 14 and 15 , 1787 , a small - state caucus met to create a response to the Virginia Plan . The result was the New Jersey Plan , otherwise known as the Small State Plan . Paterson 's New Jersey Plan was ultimately a rebuttal to the Virginia Plan , and was much closer to the initial call for the Convention : drafting amendments to the Articles of Confederation to fix the problems in it .", "19": "Under the New Jersey Plan , the existing Continental Congress would remain , but it would be granted new powers , such as the power to levy taxes and force their collection . An executive branch was created , to be elected by Congress ( the plan allowed for a multi-person executive ) . The executives would serve a single term and were subject to recall on the request of state governors . The plan also created a judiciary that would serve for life , to be appointed by the executives . Lastly , any laws set by Congress would take precedence over state laws . When Paterson reported the plan to the Convention on June 15 , 1787 , it was ultimately rejected , but it gave the smaller states a rallying point for their interests . Hamilton 's plan ( edit ) The Hamilton Plan Unsatisfied with the New Jersey Plan and the Virginia Plan , Alexander Hamilton proposed his own plan . It also was known as the British Plan , because of its resemblance to the British system of strong centralized government . In his plan , Hamilton advocated virtually doing away with state sovereignty and consolidating the states into a single nation . The plan featured a bicameral legislature , the lower house elected by the people for three years . The upper house would be elected by electors chosen by the people and would serve for life . The plan also gave the Governor , an executive elected by electors for a life - term of service , an absolute veto over bills . State governors would be appointed by the national legislature , and the national legislature had veto power over any state legislation . Hamilton presented his plan to the Convention on June 18 , 1787 . The plan was perceived as a well - thought - out plan , but it was not considered , because it resembled the British system too closely . It also contemplated the loss of most state authority , which the states were unwilling to allow . Pinckney 's plan ( edit ) The Pinckney Plan Immediately after Randolph finished laying out the Virginia Plan , Charles Pinckney of South Carolina presented his own plan to the Convention . As Pinckney did not write it down , the only evidence of the plan are Madison 's notes , so the details are somewhat vague . It was a confederation , or treaty , among the thirteen states . There was to be a bicameral legislature made up of a Senate and a House of Delegates .", "20": "The House would have one member for every one thousand inhabitants . The House would elect Senators who would serve by rotation for four years and represent one of four regions . Congress would meet in a joint session to elect a President , and would also appoint members of the cabinet . Congress , in joint session , would serve as the court of appeal of last resort in disputes between states . Pinckney did also provide for a supreme Federal Judicial Court . The Pinckney plan was not debated , but it may have been referred to by the Committee of Detail . Connecticut compromise ( edit ) Main article : Connecticut Compromise The Connecticut Compromise , forged by Roger Sherman from Connecticut , was proposed on June 11 . In a sense it blended the Virginia ( large - state ) and New Jersey ( small - state ) proposals . Ultimately , however , its main contribution was in determining the apportionment of the Senate , and thus retaining a federal character in the constitution . Sherman sided with the two - house national legislature of the Virginia Plan , but proposed `` That the proportion of suffrage in the 1st . branch ( house ) should be according to the respective numbers of free inhabitants ; and that in the second branch or Senate , each State should have one vote and no more . '' This plan failed at first , but on July 23 the question was finally settled . What was ultimately included in the constitution was a modified form of this plan . In the Grand Committee , Benjamin Franklin successfully proposed the requirement that revenue bills originate in the house . But the final July 16 vote on the compromise still left the Senate looking like the Confederation Congress . In the preceding weeks of debate , Madison , King , and Gouverneur Morris each vigorously opposed the compromise for this reason . Then on July 23 , just before most of the convention 's work was referred to the Committee of Detail , Morris and King moved that state representatives in the Senate be given individual votes , rather than voting en bloc , as they had in the Confederation Congress . Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut , a leading proponent of the compromise , supported their motion , and the Convention adopted it . As the personally powerful senators were to receive terms much longer than the state legislators who appointed them , they became substantially independent .", "21": "The compromise nonetheless continued to serve the self - interest of small - state political leaders , who were assured of access to more seats in the Senate than they might otherwise have obtained . Slavery ( edit ) Among the most controversial issues confronting the delegates was that of slavery . Slavery was widespread in the states at the time of the Convention . At least a third of the Convention 's 55 delegates owned slaves , including all of the delegates from Virginia and South Carolina . Slaves comprised approximately one - fifth of the population of the states ; and apart from northernmost New England , where slavery had largely been eliminated , slaves lived throughout all regions of the country . The majority of the slaves ( more than 90 % ) , however , lived in the South , where approximately 1 in 3 families owned slaves ( in the largest and wealthiest state , Virginia , that figure was nearly 1 in 2 families ) . The entire agrarian economy of the South was based on slave labor , and the Southern delegates to the Convention were unwilling to accept any proposals that they believed would threaten the institution . Commerce and slave trade compromise ( edit ) Quaker John Dickinson argued forcefully against slavery during the Convention . Once Delaware 's largest slaveholder , he had freed all of his slaves by 1787 . Whether slavery was to be regulated under the new Constitution was a matter of such intense conflict between the North and South that several Southern states refused to join the Union if slavery were not to be allowed . Delegates opposed to slavery were forced to yield in their demands that slavery practiced within the confines of the new nation be completely outlawed . However , they continued to argue that the Constitution should prohibit the states from participating in the international slave trade , including in the importation of new slaves from Africa and the export of slaves to other countries . The Convention postponed making a final decision on the international slave trade until late in the deliberations because of the contentious nature of the issue . During the Convention 's late July recess , the Committee of Detail had inserted language that would prohibit the federal government from attempting to ban international slave trading and from imposing taxes on the purchase or sale of slaves . The Convention could not agree on these provisions when the subject came up again in late August , so they referred the matter to an eleven - member committee for further discussion .", "22": "This committee helped work out a compromise : Congress would have the power to ban the international slave trade , but not for another twenty years ( that is , not until 1808 ) . In exchange for this concession , the federal government 's power to regulate foreign commerce would be strengthened by provisions that allowed for taxation of slave trades in the international market and that reduced the requirement for passage of navigation acts from two - thirds majorities of both houses of Congress to simple majorities . Three - fifths compromise ( edit ) Main article : Three - Fifths Compromise Another contentious slavery - related question was whether slaves would be counted as part of the population in determining representation of the states in the Congress , or would instead be considered property and as such not be considered for purposes of representation . Delegates from states with a large population of slaves argued that slaves should be considered persons in determining representation , but as property if the new government were to levy taxes on the states on the basis of population . Delegates from states where slavery had become rare argued that slaves should be included in taxation , but not in determining representation . Finally , delegate James Wilson proposed the Three - Fifths Compromise . This was eventually adopted by the Convention . Framers of the Constitution ( edit ) Fifty - five delegates attended sessions of the Constitutional Convention , and are considered the Framers of the Constitution , although only 39 delegates actually signed . The states had originally appointed 70 representatives to the Convention , but a number of the appointees did not accept or could not attend , leaving 55 who would ultimately craft the Constitution . Almost all of the 55 Framers had taken part in the Revolution , with at least 29 having served in the Continental forces , most in positions of command . All but two or three had served in colonial or state government during their careers . The vast majority ( about 75 % ) of the delegates were or had been members of the Confederation Congress , and many had been members of the Continental Congress during the Revolution . Several had been state governors . Just two delegates , Roger Sherman and Robert Morris , would be signatories to all three of the nation 's founding documents : the Declaration of Independence , the Articles of Confederation , and the Constitution . More than half of the delegates had trained as lawyers ( several had even been judges ) , although only about a quarter had practiced law as their principal means of business .", "23": "There were also merchants , manufacturers , shippers , land speculators , bankers or financiers , two or three physicians , a minister , and several small farmers . Of the 25 who owned slaves , 16 depended on slave labor to run the plantations or other businesses that formed the mainstay of their income . Most of the delegates were landowners with substantial holdings , and most , with the possible exception of Roger Sherman and William Few , were very comfortably wealthy . George Washington and Robert Morris were among the wealthiest men in the entire country .

( * ) Did not sign the final draft of the U.S. Constitution . Randolph , Mason , and Gerry were the only three present in Philadelphia at the time who refused to sign . Several prominent Founders are notable for not participating in the Constitutional Convention . Thomas Jefferson was abroad , serving as the minister to France ( nonetheless , Jefferson , in a letter to John Adams , would describe the delegates approvingly as a gathering of `` demi - gods '' ) .", "24": "John Adams was in Britain , serving as minister to that country , but he wrote home to encourage the delegates . Patrick Henry refused to participate because he `` smelt a rat in Philadelphia , tending toward the monarchy . '' Also absent were John Hancock and Samuel Adams . Many of the states ' older and more experienced leaders may have simply been too busy with the local affairs of their states to attend the Convention , which had originally been planned to strengthen the existing Articles of Confederation , not to write a constitution for a completely new national government .

The main island , located about 230 kilometres ( 143 miles ) northwest of Papeete , is surrounded by a lagoon and a barrier reef . In the center of the island are the remnants of an extinct volcano rising to two peaks , Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu , the highest point at 727 metres ( 2,385 feet ) . Bora Bora is a major international tourist destination , famous for its aqua - centric luxury resorts . The major settlement , Vaitape , is on the western side of the main island , opposite the main channel into the lagoon .", "1": "Produce of the island is mostly limited to what can be obtained from the sea and the plentiful coconut trees , which were historically of economic importance for copra .

Name ( edit ) In ancient times the island was called `` Pora pora mai te pora '' , meaning `` created by the gods '' in the local Tahitian dialect . This was often abbreviated Pora Pora meaning simply `` first born '' . Because of ambiguities in the phonemes of the Tahitian language , this could also be pronounced Bola Bola or Bora Bora . When explorer Jacob Roggeveen first landed on the island , he and his crew adopted the name Bora Bora which has stood ever since . History ( edit ) Main article : Kingdom of Bora Bora Flag of the Kingdom of Bora Bora ( 1837 -- 1842 ) Queen Teriimaevarua III and her maids of honor , circa 1899 The island was inhabited by Polynesian settlers around the 4th century C.E. The first European sighting was made by Jakob Roggeveen in 1722 . James Cook sighted the island on 29 July 1769 , using a Tahitian navigator , Tupaia . The London Missionary Society arrived in 1820 and founded a Protestant church in 1890 . Bora Bora was an independent kingdom until 1888 when its last queen Teriimaevarua III was forced to abdicate by the French who annexed the island as a colony . World War II ( edit ) In World War II the United States chose Bora Bora as a South Pacific military supply base , and an oil depot , airstrip , seaplane base , and defensive fortifications were constructed . Known as `` Operation Bobcat '' , it maintained a supply force of nine ships , 20,000 tons of equipment and nearly 7,000 men .", "2": "At least eight 7 `` / 44 caliber guns , operated by elements of the 13th Coast Artillery Regiment ( later the 276th Coast Artillery Battalion ) , were set up at strategic points around the island to protect it against potential military attack . Eight of these guns remain in the area . However , the island saw no combat as the American presence on Bora Bora went uncontested over the course of the war . The base was officially closed on 2 June 1946 . The World War II airstrip was never able to accommodate large aircraft , but it nonetheless was French Polynesia 's only international airport until Faa'a International Airport opened next to Papeete , Tahiti , in 1960 . Administration ( edit ) Bora - Bora Commune The island 's lagoon and main island Flag Country France Overseas collectivity French Polynesia Associated communes Anau , Faanui , Vaitape ( centre ) Government Mayor Gaston Tong Sang Area 40.3 km ( 15.6 sq mi ) Population ( 2017 ) 10,605 Density 260 / km ( 680 / sq mi ) INSEE / Postal code 98714 / 98730 Elevation 0 -- 727 m ( 0 -- 2,385 ft ) Population without double counting : residents of multiple communes ( e.g. , students and military personnel ) only counted once . The commune of Bora - Bora is made up of the island of Bora Bora proper with its surrounding islets emerging from the coral reef , 29.3 km ( 11.3 sq mi ) in total . The surrounding islets include Motu Tapu , Motu Ahuna , Tevairoa , Motu Tane , Motu Mute , Motu Tufari , Motu Tehotu , Motu Pitiaau , Sofitel Motu , Motu Toopua , and Toopuaiti . The commune also includes the Tūpai atoll. ( 11 km or 4.2 sq mi ) , located 20 kilometres ( 12 mi ) north of Bora Bora .", "3": "The atoll of Tūpai has no permanent population apart from about 50 workers in the coconut plantations . The commune is an administrative subdivision of the Leeward Islands and consists of three associated communes : Anau , Faanui and Vaitape . The administrative centre of the commune is the settlement of Vaitape , on the island of Bora Bora proper . Gaston Tong Sang is the Mayor of the commune of Bora - Bora , serving since 1989 . Tourism ( edit ) Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora The island 's economy is driven almost solely by tourism . Several resorts have been built on motu ( small islands , from Tahitian ) surrounding the lagoon . Hotel Bora Bora opened in 1961 , and nine years later built the first over-the - water bungalows on stilts over the lagoon . Today , over-water bungalows are a standard feature of most Bora Bora resorts . The quality of those bungalows ranges from comparably cheap , basic accommodations to very luxurious and expensive places to stay . Most of the tourist destinations are aqua - centric ; however it is possible to visit attractions on land such as WWII cannons . Air Tahiti has five or six flights daily to the Bora Bora Airport on Motu Mute from Tahiti ( as well as from other islands ) . Public transport on the island is nonexistent so rental cars and bicycles are the recommended methods of transport . There are also small , two - seater buggies for hire in Vaitape . It is possible to rent a motorboat to explore the lagoon . Snorkeling and scuba diving in and around the lagoon of Bora Bora are popular activities . Many species of sharks and rays inhabit the surrounding body of water . There are a few dive operators on the island offering manta ray dives and also shark - feeding dives . Sharks living in the island 's lagoon are not considered to be dangerous to people . In addition to the existing islands of Bora Bora , the new manmade motu of Motu Marfo has been added in the northeastern corner of the lagoon on the property of the St. Regis Resort .", "4": "Climate ( edit ) ( hide ) Climate data for Bora - Bora Month Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Year Average high ° C ( ° F ) 30.2 ( 86.4 ) 30.8 ( 87.4 ) 30.5 ( 86.9 ) 30.3 ( 86.5 ) 29.5 ( 85.1 ) 28.6 ( 83.5 ) 28.1 ( 82.6 ) 28.1 ( 82.6 ) 28.6 ( 83.5 ) 29.1 ( 84.4 ) 29.4 ( 84.9 ) 29.6 ( 85.3 ) 29.3 ( 84.7 ) Average low ° C ( ° F ) 25.1 ( 77.2 ) 25.3 ( 77.5 ) 25.5 ( 77.9 ) 25.5 ( 77.9 ) 25.1 ( 77.2 ) 24.2 ( 75.6 ) 23.8 ( 74.8 ) 23.8 ( 74.8 ) 24.0 ( 75.2 ) 24.3 ( 75.7 ) 24.6 ( 76.3 ) 24.8 ( 76.6 ) 24.7 ( 76.5 ) Average rainfall mm ( inches ) 268.7 ( 10.579 ) 233.2 ( 9.181 ) 176.9 ( 6.965 ) 182.7 ( 7.193 ) 129.8 ( 5.11 ) 98.2 ( 3.866 ) 83.3 ( 3.28 ) 59.7 ( 2.35 ) 65.5 ( 2.579 ) 99.8 ( 3.929 ) 203.7 ( 8.02 ) 280.6 ( 11.047 ) 1,882.1 ( 74.", "5": "098 ) Mean monthly sunshine hours 201.1 202.6 239.4 219.8 224.1 224.5 231.8 248.4 241.0 230.5 217.7 207.0 2,687.9 Source : NOAA Most rainfall occurs during the summer months ( November to April ) and is accompanied by high humidity , although clear days are not unknown in mid-January .

Basileia tōn Rhōmaiōn ) was the post-Roman Republic period of the ancient Roman civilization , characterized by government headed by emperors and large territorial holdings around the Mediterranean Sea in Europe , Africa and Asia . The city of Rome was the largest city in the world c. 100 BC -- c . AD 400 , with Constantinople ( New Rome ) becoming the largest around AD 500 , and the Empire 's populace grew to an estimated 50 to 90 million inhabitants ( roughly 20 % of the world 's population at the time ) . The 500 - year - old republic which preceded it was severely destabilized in a series of civil wars and political conflict , during which Julius Caesar was appointed as perpetual dictator and then assassinated in 44 BC . Civil wars and executions continued , culminating in the victory of Octavian , Caesar 's adopted son , over Mark Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC and the annexation of Egypt . Octavian 's power was then unassailable and in 27 BC the Roman Senate formally granted him overarching power and the new title Augustus , effectively marking the end of the Roman Republic . The imperial period of Rome lasted approximately 1,500 years compared to the 500 years of the Republican era . The first two centuries of the empire 's existence were a period of unprecedented political stability and prosperity known as the Pax Romana , or `` Roman Peace '' . Following Octavian 's victory , the size of the empire was dramatically increased . After the assassination of Caligula in AD 41 , the Senate briefly considered restoring the republic , but the Praetorian Guard proclaimed Claudius emperor instead .", "3": "Under Claudius , the empire invaded Britannia , its first major expansion since Augustus . After Claudius ' successor , Nero , committed suicide in AD 68 , the empire suffered a series of brief civil wars , as well as a concurrent major rebellion in Judea , during which four different legionary generals were proclaimed emperor . Vespasian emerged triumphant in AD 69 , establishing the Flavian dynasty , before being succeeded by his son Titus , who opened the Colosseum shortly after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius . His short reign was followed by the long reign of his brother Domitian , who was eventually assassinated . The Senate then appointed the first of the Five Good Emperors . The empire reached its greatest extent under Trajan , the second in this line . A period of increasing trouble and decline began with the reign of Commodus . Commodus ' assassination in 192 triggered the Year of the Five Emperors , of which Septimius Severus emerged victorious . The assassination of Alexander Severus in 235 led to the Crisis of the Third Century in which 26 men were declared emperor by the Roman Senate over a fifty - year time span . It was not until the reign of Diocletian that the empire was fully stabilized with the introduction of the Tetrarchy , which saw four emperors rule the empire at once . This arrangement was ultimately unsuccessful , leading to a civil war that was finally ended by Constantine the Great , who defeated his rivals and became the sole ruler of the empire in 324 . Constantine subsequently established a second capital city in Byzantium , which he renamed Constantinople . It remained the capital of the east until its demise . Constantine also adopted Christianity which later became the official state religion of the empire . Following the death of Theodosius I in 395 , the empire was permanently divided between the West and the East . The dominion of the Western Roman Empire was gradually eroded by abuses of power , civil wars , barbarian migrations and invasions , military reforms and economic depression . The Sack of Rome in 410 by the Visigoths and again in 455 by the Vandals accelerated the Western Empire 's decay , while the deposition of the emperor , Romulus Augustulus , in 476 by Odoacer , is generally accepted to mark the end of the empire in the west .", "4": "However , Augustulus was never recognized by his Eastern colleague , and separate rule in the Western part of the empire only ceased to exist upon the death of Julius Nepos , in 480 . The Eastern Roman Empire ( in modern historiography called the Byzantine Empire ) endured for another millennium as one of the leading powers in the world alongside its arch - rival the Sassanid Empire , which had inherited a centuries - old Roman - Persian conflict from its predecessor the Parthians . It eventually fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453 . The Roman Empire was among the most powerful economic , cultural , political and military forces in the world of its time . It was one of the largest empires in world history . At its height under Trajan , it covered 5 million square kilometres . It held sway over an estimated 70 million people , at that time 21 % of the world 's entire population . The longevity and vast extent of the empire ensured the lasting influence of Latin and Greek language , culture , religion , inventions , architecture , philosophy , law and forms of government on the empire 's descendants . Throughout the European medieval period , attempts were even made to establish successors to the Roman Empire , including the Empire of Romania , a Crusader state ; and the Holy Roman Empire . By means of European colonialism following the Renaissance , and their descendant states , Greco - Roman and Judaeo - Christian culture was exported on a worldwide scale , playing a crucial role in the development of the modern world .

Then , it was an `` empire '' long before it had an emperor . The Roman Republic was not a nation - state in the modern sense , but a network of towns left to rule themselves ( though with varying degrees of independence from the Roman Senate ) and provinces administered by military commanders .", "6": "It was ruled , not by emperors , but by annually elected magistrates ( Roman Consuls above all ) in conjunction with the senate . For various reasons , the 1st century BC was a time of political and military upheaval , which ultimately led to rule by emperors . The consuls ' military power rested in the Roman legal concept of imperium , which literally means `` command '' ( though typically in a military sense ) . Occasionally , successful consuls were given the honorary title imperator ( commander ) , and this is the origin of the word emperor ( and empire ) since this title ( among others ) was always bestowed to the early emperors upon their accession . Rome suffered a long series of internal conflicts , conspiracies and civil wars from the late second century BC onwards , while greatly extending its power beyond Italy . This was the period of the Crisis of the Roman Republic . Towards the end of this era , in 44 BC , Julius Caesar was briefly perpetual dictator before being assassinated . The faction of his assassins was driven from Rome and defeated at the Battle of Philippi in 42 BC by an army led by Mark Antony and Caesar 's adopted son Octavian . Antony and Octavian 's division of the Roman world between themselves did not last and Octavian 's forces defeated those of Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC . In 27 BC the Senate and People of Rome made Octavian princeps ( `` first citizen '' ) with proconsular imperium , thus beginning the Principate ( the first epoch of Roman imperial history , usually dated from 27 BC to AD 284 ) , and gave him the name `` Augustus '' ( `` the venerated '' ) . Though the old constitutional machinery remained in place , Augustus came to predominate it . Although the republic stood in name , contemporaries of Augustus knew it was just a veil and that Augustus had all meaningful authority in Rome . Since his rule ended a century of civil wars and began an unprecedented period of peace and prosperity , he was so loved that he came to hold the power of a monarch de facto if not de jure .", "7": "During the years of his rule , a new constitutional order emerged ( in part organically and in part by design ) , so that , upon his death , this new constitutional order operated as before when Tiberius was accepted as the new emperor . The 200 years that began with Augustus 's rule is traditionally regarded as the Pax Romana ( `` Roman Peace '' ) . During this period , the cohesion of the empire was furthered by a degree of social stability and economic prosperity that Rome had never before experienced . Uprisings in the provinces were infrequent , but put down `` mercilessly and swiftly '' when they occurred . The sixty years of Jewish -- Roman wars in the second half of the 1st century and the first half of the 2nd century were exceptional in their duration and violence . The success of Augustus in establishing principles of dynastic succession was limited by his outliving a number of talented potential heirs . The Julio - Claudian dynasty lasted for four more emperors -- Tiberius , Caligula , Claudius and Nero -- before it yielded in 69 AD to the strife - torn Year of Four Emperors , from which Vespasian emerged as victor . Vespasian became the founder of the brief Flavian dynasty , to be followed by the Nerva -- Antonine dynasty which produced the `` Five Good Emperors '' : Nerva , Trajan , Hadrian , Antoninus Pius and the philosophically - inclined Marcus Aurelius . In the view of the Greek historian Dio Cassius , a contemporary observer , the accession of the emperor Commodus in 180 AD marked the descent `` from a kingdom of gold to one of rust and iron '' -- a famous comment which has led some historians , notably Edward Gibbon , to take Commodus ' reign as the beginning of the decline of the Roman Empire . In 212 , during the reign of Caracalla , Roman citizenship was granted to all freeborn inhabitants of the empire . But despite this gesture of universality , the Severan dynasty was tumultuous -- an emperor 's reign was ended routinely by his murder or execution -- and , following its collapse , the Roman Empire was engulfed by the Crisis of the Third Century , a period of invasions , civil strife , economic disorder , and plague .", "8": "In defining historical epochs , this crisis is sometimes viewed as marking the transition from Classical Antiquity to Late Antiquity . Aurelian ( reigned 270 -- 275 ) brought the empire back from the brink and stabilized it . Diocletian completed the work of fully restoring the empire , but declined the role of princeps and became the first emperor to be addressed regularly as domine , `` master '' or `` lord '' . This marked the end of the Principate , and the beginning of the Dominate . Diocletian 's reign also brought the empire 's most concerted effort against the perceived threat of Christianity , the `` Great Persecution '' . The state of absolute monarchy that began with Diocletian endured until the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire in 1453 . Diocletian divided the empire into four regions , each ruled by a separate emperor , the Tetrarchy . Confident that he fixed the disorders that were plaguing Rome , he abdicated along with his co-emperor , and the Tetrarchy soon collapsed . Order was eventually restored by Constantine the Great , who became the first emperor to convert to Christianity , and who established Constantinople as the new capital of the eastern empire . During the decades of the Constantinian and Valentinian dynasties , the empire was divided along an east -- west axis , with dual power centres in Constantinople and Rome . The reign of Julian , who attempted to restore Classical Roman and Hellenistic religion , only briefly interrupted the succession of Christian emperors . Theodosius I , the last emperor to rule over both East and West , died in 395 AD after making Christianity the official religion of the empire . The Roman Empire by 476 The Western Roman Empire began to disintegrate in the early 5th century as Germanic migrations and invasions overwhelmed the capacity of the Empire to assimilate the migrants and fight off the invaders . The Romans were successful in fighting off all invaders , most famously Attila , though the empire had assimilated so many Germanic peoples of dubious loyalty to Rome that the empire started to dismember itself . Most chronologies place the end of the Western Roman Empire in 476 , when Romulus Augustulus was forced to abdicate to the Germanic warlord Odoacer .", "9": "By placing himself under the rule of the Eastern Emperor , rather than naming himself Emperor ( as other Germanic chiefs had done after deposing past emperors ) , Odoacer ended the Western Empire by ending the line of Western emperors . The empire in the East -- often known as the Byzantine Empire , but referred to in its time as the Roman Empire or by various other names -- had a different fate . It survived for almost a millennium after the fall of its Western counterpart and became the most stable Christian realm during the Middle Ages . During the 6th century , Justinian I reconquered Northern Africa and Italy . But within a few years of Justinian 's death , Byzantine possessions in Italy were greatly reduced by the Lombards who settled in the peninsula . In the east , partially resulting from the destructive Plague of Justinian , the Romans were threatened by the rise of Islam , whose followers rapidly conquered the territories of Syria , Armenia and Egypt during the Byzantine - Arab Wars , and soon presented a direct threat to Constantinople . In the following century , the Arabs also captured southern Italy and Sicily . Slavic populations were also able to penetrate deep into the Balkans . The Roman ( Byzantine ) Empire c. 1263 . The Romans , however , managed to stop further Islamic expansion into their lands during the 8th century and , beginning in the 9th century , reclaimed parts of the conquered lands . In 1000 AD , the Eastern Empire was at its height : Basil II reconquered Bulgaria and Armenia , culture and trade flourished . However , soon after , the expansion was abruptly stopped in 1071 with the Byzantine defeat in the Battle of Manzikert . The aftermath of this important battle sent the empire into a protracted period of decline . Two decades of internal strife and Turkic invasions ultimately paved the way for Emperor Alexios I Komnenos to send a call for help to the Western European kingdoms in 1095 . The West responded with the Crusades , eventually resulting in the Sack of Constantinople by participants in the Fourth Crusade . The conquest of Constantinople in 1204 fragmented what remained of the Empire into successor states , the ultimate victor being that of Nicaea .", "10": "After the recapture of Constantinople by Imperial forces , the Empire was little more than a Greek state confined to the Aegean coast . The Roman Empire finally collapsed when Mehmed the Conqueror conquered Constantinople on 29 May 1453 . Geography and demography Main articles : Demography of the Roman Empire and Borders of the Roman Empire Further information : Classical demography The Roman Empire was one of the largest in history , with contiguous territories throughout Europe , North Africa , and the Middle East . The Latin phrase imperium sine fine ( `` empire without end '' ) expressed the ideology that neither time nor space limited the Empire . In Vergil 's epic poem the Aeneid , limitless empire is said to be granted to the Romans by their supreme deity Jupiter . This claim of universal dominion was renewed and perpetuated when the Empire came under Christian rule in the 4th century . In reality , Roman expansion was mostly accomplished under the Republic , though parts of northern Europe were conquered in the 1st century AD , when Roman control in Europe , Africa and Asia was strengthened . During the reign of Augustus , a `` global map of the known world '' was displayed for the first time in public at Rome , coinciding with the composition of the most comprehensive work on political geography that survives from antiquity , the Geography of the Pontic Greek writer Strabo . When Augustus died , the commemorative account of his achievements ( Res Gestae ) prominently featured the geographical cataloguing of peoples and places within the Empire . Geography , the census , and the meticulous keeping of written records were central concerns of Roman Imperial administration . A segment of the ruins of Hadrian 's Wall in northern England The Empire reached its largest expanse under Trajan ( reigned 98 -- 117 ) , encompassing an area of 5 million square kilometres . The traditional population estimate of 55 -- 60 million inhabitants accounted for between one - sixth and one - fourth of the world 's total population and made it the largest population of any unified political entity in the West until the mid-19th century . Recent demographic studies have argued for a population peak ranging from 70 million to more than 100 million .", "11": "Each of the three largest cities in the Empire -- Rome , Alexandria , and Antioch -- was almost twice the size of any European city at the beginning of the 17th century . As the historian Christopher Kelly has described it : Then the empire stretched from Hadrian 's Wall in drizzle - soaked northern England to the sun - baked banks of the Euphrates in Syria ; from the great Rhine -- Danube river system , which snaked across the fertile , flat lands of Europe from the Low Countries to the Black Sea , to the rich plains of the North African coast and the luxuriant gash of the Nile Valley in Egypt . The empire completely circled the Mediterranean ... referred to by its conquerors as mare nostrum -- ' our sea ' . Trajan 's successor Hadrian adopted a policy of maintaining rather than expanding the empire . Borders ( fines ) were marked , and the frontiers ( limites ) patrolled . The most heavily fortified borders were the most unstable . Hadrian 's Wall , which separated the Roman world from what was perceived as an ever - present barbarian threat , is the primary surviving monument of this effort . Languages This section may contain misleading parts . Please help clarify this article according to any suggestions provided on the talk page . ( September 2016 ) Main article : Languages of the Roman Empire The language of the Romans was Latin , which Virgil emphasizes as a source of Roman unity and tradition . Until the time of Alexander Severus ( reigned 222 -- 235 ) , the birth certificates and wills of Roman citizens had to be written in Latin . Latin was the language of the law courts in the West and of the military throughout the Empire , but was not imposed officially on peoples brought under Roman rule . This policy contrasts with that of Alexander the Great , who aimed to impose Greek throughout his empire as the official language . As a consequence of Alexander 's conquests , koine Greek had become the shared language around the eastern Mediterranean and into Asia Minor . The `` linguistic frontier '' dividing the Latin West and the Greek East passed through the Balkan peninsula . A 5th - century papyrus showing a parallel Latin - Greek text of a speech by Cicero Romans who received an elite education studied Greek as a literary language , and most men of the governing classes could speak Greek .", "12": "The Julio - Claudian emperors encouraged high standards of correct Latin ( Latinitas ) , a linguistic movement identified in modern terms as Classical Latin , and favoured Latin for conducting official business . Claudius tried to limit the use of Greek , and on occasion revoked the citizenship of those who lacked Latin , but even in the Senate he drew on his own bilingualism in communicating with Greek - speaking ambassadors . Suetonius quotes him as referring to `` our two languages '' . In the Eastern empire , laws and official documents were regularly translated into Greek from Latin . The everyday interpenetration of the two languages is indicated by bilingual inscriptions , which sometimes even switch back and forth between Greek and Latin . After all freeborn inhabitants of the empire were universally enfranchised in 212 AD , a great number of Roman citizens would have lacked Latin , though they were expected to acquire at least a token knowledge , and Latin remained a marker of `` Romanness . '' Among other reforms , the emperor Diocletian ( reigned 284 -- 305 ) sought to renew the authority of Latin , and the Greek expression hē kratousa dialektos attests to the continuing status of Latin as `` the language of power . '' In the early 6th century , the emperor Justinian engaged in a quixotic effort to reassert the status of Latin as the language of law , even though in his time Latin no longer held any currency as a living language in the East . Local languages and linguistic legacy Bilingual Latin - Punic inscription at the theatre in Leptis Magna , Roman Africa ( present - day Libya ) References to interpreters indicate the continuing use of local languages other than Greek and Latin , particularly in Egypt , where Coptic predominated , and in military settings along the Rhine and Danube . Roman jurists also show a concern for local languages such as Punic , Gaulish , and Aramaic in assuring the correct understanding and application of laws and oaths . In the province of Africa , Libyco - Berber and Punic were used in inscriptions and for legends on coins during the time of Tiberius ( 1st century AD ) . Libyco - Berber and Punic inscriptions appear on public buildings into the 2nd century , some bilingual with Latin .", "13": "In Syria , Palmyrene soldiers even used their dialect of Aramaic for inscriptions , in a striking exception to the rule that Latin was the language of the military . The Babatha Archive is a suggestive example of multilingualism in the Empire . These papyri , named for a Jewish woman in the province of Arabia and dating from 93 to 132 AD , mostly employ Aramaic , the local language , written in Greek characters with Semitic and Latin influences ; a petition to the Roman governor , however , was written in Greek . The dominance of Latin among the literate elite may obscure the continuity of spoken languages , since all cultures within the Roman Empire were predominantly oral . In the West , Latin , referred to in its spoken form as Vulgar Latin , gradually replaced Celtic and Italic languages that were related to it by a shared Indo - European origin . Commonalities in syntax and vocabulary facilitated the adoption of Latin . After the decentralization of political power in late antiquity , Latin developed locally into branches that became the Romance languages , such as Spanish , Portuguese , French , Italian and Romanian , and a large number of minor languages and dialects . Today , more than 900 million people are native speakers worldwide . As an international language of learning and literature , Latin itself continued as an active medium of expression for diplomacy and for intellectual developments identified with Renaissance humanism up to the 17th century , and for law and the Roman Catholic Church to the present . Although Greek continued as the language of the Byzantine Empire , linguistic distribution in the East was more complex . A Greek - speaking majority lived in the Greek peninsula and islands , western Anatolia , major cities , and some coastal areas . Like Greek and Latin , the Thracian language was of Indo - European origin , as were several now - extinct languages in Anatolia attested by Imperial - era inscriptions . Albanian is often seen as the descendant of Illyrian , although this hypothesis has been challenged by some linguists , who maintain that it derives from Dacian or Thracian . ( Illyrian , Dacian , and Thracian , however , may have formed a subgroup or a Sprachbund ; see Thraco - Illyrian . ) Various Afroasiatic languages -- primarily Coptic in Egypt , and Aramaic in Syria and Mesopotamia -- were never replaced by Greek .", "14": "The international use of Greek , however , was one factor enabling the spread of Christianity , as indicated for example by the use of Greek for the Epistles of Paul . Society For more details on this topic , see Ancient Roman society . A multigenerational banquet depicted on a wall painting from Pompeii ( 1st century AD ) Spread of Seuso at Lacus Pelso ( Lake Balaton ) The Roman Empire was remarkably multicultural , with `` a rather astonishing cohesive capacity '' to create a sense of shared identity while encompassing diverse peoples within its political system over a long span of time . The Roman attention to creating public monuments and communal spaces open to all -- such as forums , amphitheatres , racetracks and baths -- helped foster a sense of `` Romanness '' . Roman society had multiple , overlapping social hierarchies that modern concepts of `` class '' in English may not represent accurately . The two decades of civil war from which Augustus rose to sole power left traditional society in Rome in a state of confusion and upheaval , but did not affect an immediate redistribution of wealth and social power . From the perspective of the lower classes , a peak was merely added to the social pyramid . Personal relationships -- patronage , friendship ( amicitia ) , family , marriage -- continued to influence the workings of politics and government , as they had in the Republic . By the time of Nero , however , it was not unusual to find a former slave who was richer than a freeborn citizen , or an equestrian who exercised greater power than a senator . The blurring or diffusion of the Republic 's more rigid hierarchies led to increased social mobility under the Empire , both upward and downward , to an extent that exceeded that of all other well - documented ancient societies . Women , freedmen , and slaves had opportunities to profit and exercise influence in ways previously less available to them . Social life in the Empire , particularly for those whose personal resources were limited , was further fostered by a proliferation of voluntary associations and confraternities ( collegia and sodalitates ) formed for various purposes : professional and trade guilds , veterans ' groups , religious sodalities , drinking and dining clubs , performing arts troupes , and burial societies . Citizen of Roman Egypt ( Fayum mummy portrait ) Infanticide has been recorded in the Roman Empire and may have been widespread .", "15": "Legal status Main articles : Status in Roman legal system and Roman citizenship According to the jurist Gaius , the essential distinction in the Roman `` law of persons '' was that all human beings were either free ( liberi ) or slaves ( servi ) . The legal status of free persons might be further defined by their citizenship . Most citizens held limited rights ( such as the ius Latinum , `` Latin right '' ) , but were entitled to legal protections and privileges not enjoyed by those who lacked citizenship . Free people not considered citizens , but living within the Roman world , held status as peregrini , non-Romans . In 212 AD , by means of the edict known as the Constitutio Antoniniana , the emperor Caracalla extended citizenship to all freeborn inhabitants of the empire . This legal egalitarianism would have required a far - reaching revision of existing laws that had distinguished between citizens and non-citizens . Women in Roman law Main article : Women in ancient Rome Freeborn Roman women were considered citizens throughout the Republic and Empire , but did not vote , hold political office , or serve in the military . A mother 's citizen status determined that of her children , as indicated by the phrase ex duobus civibus Romanis natos ( `` children born of two Roman citizens '' ) . A Roman woman kept her own family name ( nomen ) for life . Children most often took the father 's name , but in the Imperial period sometimes made their mother 's name part of theirs , or even used it instead . Left image : Roman fresco of a blond maiden reading a text , Pompeian Fourth Style ( 60 -- 79 AD ) , Pompeii , Italy Right image : Bronze statuette ( 1st century AD ) of a young woman reading , based on a Hellenistic original The archaic form of manus marriage in which the woman had been subject to her husband 's authority was largely abandoned by the Imperial era , and a married woman retained ownership of any property she brought into the marriage . Technically she remained under her father 's legal authority , even though she moved into her husband 's home , but when her father died she became legally emancipated .", "16": "This arrangement was one of the factors in the degree of independence Roman women enjoyed relative to those of many other ancient cultures and up to the modern period : although she had to answer to her father in legal matters , she was free of his direct scrutiny in her daily life , and her husband had no legal power over her . Although it was a point of pride to be a `` one - man woman '' ( univira ) who had married only once , there was little stigma attached to divorce , nor to speedy remarriage after the loss of a husband through death or divorce . Girls had equal inheritance rights with boys if their father died without leaving a will . A Roman mother 's right to own property and to dispose of it as she saw fit , including setting the terms of her own will , gave her enormous influence over her sons even when they were adults . As part of the Augustan programme to restore traditional morality and social order , moral legislation attempted to regulate the conduct of men and women as a means of promoting `` family values '' . Adultery , which had been a private family matter under the Republic , was criminalized , and defined broadly as an illicit sex act ( stuprum ) that occurred between a male citizen and a married woman , or between a married woman and any man other than her husband . Childbearing was encouraged by the state : a woman who had given birth to three children was granted symbolic honours and greater legal freedom ( the ius trium liberorum ) . Because of their legal status as citizens and the degree to which they could become emancipated , women could own property , enter contracts , and engage in business , including shipping , manufacturing , and lending money . Inscriptions throughout the Empire honour women as benefactors in funding public works , an indication they could acquire and dispose of considerable fortunes ; for instance , the Arch of the Sergii was funded by Salvia Postuma , a female member of the family honoured , and the largest building in the forum at Pompeii was funded by Eumachia , a priestess of Venus . Slaves and the law Main article : Slavery in ancient Rome At the time of Augustus , as many as 35 % of the people in Italy were slaves , making Rome one of five historical `` slave societies '' in which slaves constituted at least a fifth of the population and played a major role in the economy .", "17": "Slavery was a complex institution that supported traditional Roman social structures as well as contributing economic utility . In urban settings , slaves might be professionals such as teachers , physicians , chefs , and accountants , in addition to the majority of slaves who provided trained or unskilled labour in households or workplaces . Agriculture and industry , such as milling and mining , relied on the exploitation of slaves . Outside Italy , slaves made up on average an estimated 10 to 20 % of the population , sparse in Roman Egypt but more concentrated in some Greek areas . Expanding Roman ownership of arable land and industries would have affected preexisting practices of slavery in the provinces . Although the institution of slavery has often been regarded as waning in the 3rd and 4th centuries , it remained an integral part of Roman society until the 5th century . Slavery ceased gradually in the 6th and 7th centuries along with the decline of urban centres in the West and the disintegration of the complex Imperial economy that had created the demand for it . Slave holding writing tablets for his master ( relief from a 4th - century sarcophagus ) Laws pertaining to slavery were `` extremely intricate '' . Under Roman law , slaves were considered property and had no legal personhood . They could be subjected to forms of corporal punishment not normally exercised on citizens , sexual exploitation , torture , and summary execution . A slave could not as a matter of law be raped , since rape could be committed only against people who were free ; a slave 's rapist had to be prosecuted by the owner for property damage under the Aquilian Law . Slaves had no right to the form of legal marriage called conubium , but their unions were sometimes recognized , and if both were freed they could marry . Following the Servile Wars of the Republic , legislation under Augustus and his successors shows a driving concern for controlling the threat of rebellions through limiting the size of work groups , and for hunting down fugitive slaves . Technically , a slave could not own property , but a slave who conducted business might be given access to an individual account or fund ( peculium ) that he could use as if it were his own .", "18": "The terms of this account varied depending on the degree of trust and co-operation between owner and slave : a slave with an aptitude for business could be given considerable leeway to generate profit , and might be allowed to bequeath the peculium he managed to other slaves of his household . Within a household or workplace , a hierarchy of slaves might exist , with one slave in effect acting as the master of other slaves . Over time slaves gained increased legal protection , including the right to file complaints against their masters . A bill of sale might contain a clause stipulating that the slave could not be employed for prostitution , as prostitutes in ancient Rome were often slaves . The burgeoning trade in eunuch slaves in the late 1st century AD prompted legislation that prohibited the castration of a slave against his will `` for lust or gain . '' Roman slavery was not based on race . Slaves were drawn from all over Europe and the Mediterranean , including Gaul , Hispania , Germany , Britannia , the Balkans , Greece ... Generally slaves in Italy were indigenous Italians , with a minority of foreigners ( including both slaves and freedmen ) born outside of Italy estimated at 5 % of the total in the capital at its peak , where their number was largest . Those from outside of Europe were predominantly of Greek descent , while the Jewish ones never fully assimilated into Roman society , remaining an identifiable minority . These slaves ( especially the foreigners ) had higher mortality rates and lower birth rates than natives , and were sometimes even subjected to mass expulsions . The average recorded age at death for the slaves of the city of Rome was extraordinarily low : seventeen and a half years ( 17.2 for males ; 17.9 for females ) . During the period of Republican expansionism when slavery had become pervasive , war captives were a main source of slaves . The range of ethnicities among slaves to some extent reflected that of the armies Rome defeated in war , and the conquest of Greece brought a number of highly skilled and educated slaves into Rome . Slaves were also traded in markets , and sometimes sold by pirates . Infant abandonment and self - enslavement among the poor were other sources . Vernae , by contrast , were `` homegrown '' slaves born to female slaves within the urban household or on a country estate or farm .", "19": "Although they had no special legal status , an owner who mistreated or failed to care for his vernae faced social disapproval , as they were considered part of his familia , the family household , and in some cases might actually be the children of free males in the family . Talented slaves with a knack for business might accumulate a large enough peculium to justify their freedom , or be manumitted for services rendered . Manumission had become frequent enough that in 2 BC a law ( Lex Fufia Caninia ) limited the number of slaves an owner was allowed to free in his will . Freedmen Cinerary urn for the freedman Tiberius Claudius Chryseros and two women , probably his wife and daughter Rome differed from Greek city - states in allowing freed slaves to become citizens . After manumission , a slave who had belonged to a Roman citizen enjoyed not only passive freedom from ownership , but active political freedom ( libertas ) , including the right to vote . A slave who had acquired libertas was a libertus ( `` freed person , '' feminine liberta ) in relation to his former master , who then became his patron ( patronus ) : the two parties continued to have customary and legal obligations to each other . As a social class generally , freed slaves were libertini , though later writers used the terms libertus and libertinus interchangeably . A libertinus was not entitled to hold public office or the highest state priesthoods , but he could play a priestly role in the cult of the emperor . He could not marry a woman from a family of senatorial rank , nor achieve legitimate senatorial rank himself , but during the early Empire , freedmen held key positions in the government bureaucracy , so much so that Hadrian limited their participation by law . Any future children of a freedman would be born free , with full rights of citizenship . The rise of successful freedmen -- through either political influence in imperial service , or wealth -- is a characteristic of early Imperial society . The prosperity of a high - achieving group of freedmen is attested by inscriptions throughout the Empire , and by their ownership of some of the most lavish houses at Pompeii , such as the House of the Vettii .", "20": "The excesses of nouveau riche freedmen were satirized in the character of Trimalchio in the Satyricon by Petronius , who wrote in the time of Nero . Such individuals , while exceptional , are indicative of the upward social mobility possible in the Empire . Census rank See also : Senate of the Roman Empire , Equestrian order , and Decurion ( administrative ) The Latin word ordo ( plural ordines ) refers to a social distinction that is translated variously into English as `` class , order , rank , '' none of which is exact . One purpose of the Roman census was to determine the ordo to which an individual belonged . The two highest ordines in Rome were the senatorial and equestrian . Outside Rome , the decurions , also known as curiales ( Greek bouleutai ) , were the top governing ordo of an individual city . Fragment of a sarcophagus depicting Gordian III and senators ( 3rd century ) `` Senator '' was not itself an elected office in ancient Rome ; an individual gained admission to the Senate after he had been elected to and served at least one term as an executive magistrate . A senator also had to meet a minimum property requirement of 1 million sestertii , as determined by the census . Nero made large gifts of money to a number of senators from old families who had become too impoverished to qualify . Not all men who qualified for the ordo senatorius chose to take a Senate seat , which required legal domicile at Rome . Emperors often filled vacancies in the 600 - member body by appointment . A senator 's son belonged to the ordo senatorius , but he had to qualify on his own merits for admission to the Senate itself . A senator could be removed for violating moral standards : he was prohibited , for instance , from marrying a freedwoman or fighting in the arena . In the time of Nero , senators were still primarily from Rome and other parts of Italy , with some from the Iberian peninsula and southern France ; men from the Greek - speaking provinces of the East began to be added under Vespasian . The first senator from the most eastern province , Cappadocia , was admitted under Marcus Aurelius . By the time of the Severan dynasty ( 193 -- 235 ) , Italians made up less than half the Senate .", "21": "During the 3rd century , domicile at Rome became impractical , and inscriptions attest to senators who were active in politics and munificence in their homeland ( patria ) . Senators had an aura of prestige and were the traditional governing class who rose through the cursus honorum , the political career track , but equestrians of the Empire often possessed greater wealth and political power . Membership in the equestrian order was based on property ; in Rome 's early days , equites or knights had been distinguished by their ability to serve as mounted warriors ( the `` public horse '' ) , but cavalry service was a separate function in the Empire . A census valuation of 400,000 sesterces and three generations of free birth qualified a man as an equestrian . The census of 28 BC uncovered large numbers of men who qualified , and in 14 AD , a thousand equestrians were registered at Cadiz and Padua alone . Equestrians rose through a military career track ( tres militiae ) to become highly placed prefects and procurators within the Imperial administration . The rise of provincial men to the senatorial and equestrian orders is an aspect of social mobility in the first three centuries of the Empire . Roman aristocracy was based on competition , and unlike later European nobility , a Roman family could not maintain its position merely through hereditary succession or having title to lands . Admission to the higher ordines brought distinction and privileges , but also a number of responsibilities . In antiquity , a city depended on its leading citizens to fund public works , events , and services ( munera ) , rather than on tax revenues , which primarily supported the military . Maintaining one 's rank required massive personal expenditures . Decurions were so vital for the functioning of cities that in the later Empire , as the ranks of the town councils became depleted , those who had risen to the Senate were encouraged by the central government to give up their seats and return to their hometowns , in an effort to sustain civic life . In the later Empire , the dignitas ( `` worth , esteem '' ) that attended on senatorial or equestrian rank was refined further with titles such as vir illustris , `` illustrious man '' . The appellation clarissimus ( Greek lamprotatos ) was used to designate the dignitas of certain senators and their immediate family , including women .", "22": "`` Grades '' of equestrian status proliferated . Those in Imperial service were ranked by pay grade ( sexagenarius , 60,000 sesterces per annum ; centenarius , 100,000 ; ducenarius , 200,000 ) . The title eminentissimus , `` most eminent '' ( Greek exochôtatos ) was reserved for equestrians who had been Praetorian prefects . The higher equestrian officials in general were perfectissimi , `` most distinguished '' ( Greek diasêmotatoi ) , the lower merely egregii , `` outstanding '' ( Greek kratistos ) . Unequal justice Condemned man attacked by a leopard in the arena ( 3rd - century mosaic from Tunisia ) As the republican principle of citizens ' equality under the law faded , the symbolic and social privileges of the upper classes led to an informal division of Roman society into those who had acquired greater honours ( honestiores ) and those who were humbler folk ( humiliores ) . In general , honestiores were the members of the three higher `` orders , '' along with certain military officers . The granting of universal citizenship in 212 seems to have increased the competitive urge among the upper classes to have their superiority over other citizens affirmed , particularly within the justice system . Sentencing depended on the judgement of the presiding official as to the relative `` worth '' ( dignitas ) of the defendant : an honestior could pay a fine when convicted of a crime for which an humilior might receive a scourging . Execution , which had been an infrequent legal penalty for free men under the Republic even in a capital case , could be quick and relatively painless for the Imperial citizen considered `` more honourable '' , while those deemed inferior might suffer the kinds of torture and prolonged death previously reserved for slaves , such as crucifixion and condemnation to the beasts as a spectacle in the arena . In the early Empire , those who converted to Christianity could lose their standing as honestiores , especially if they declined to fulfil the religious aspects of their civic responsibilities , and thus became subject to punishments that created the conditions of martyrdom . Government and military Main article : Constitution of the Roman Empire Augustus as Jove , holding scepter and orb ( first half of 1st century AD ) .", "23": "The Imperial cult of ancient Rome identified emperors and some members of their families with the divinely sanctioned authority ( auctoritas ) of the Roman State . The official offer of cultus to a living emperor acknowledged his office and rule as divinely approved and constitutional : his Principate should therefore demonstrate pious respect for traditional Republican deities and mores Forum of Gerasa ( Jerash in present - day Jordan ) , with columns marking a covered walkway ( stoa ) for vendor stalls , and a semicircular space for public speaking The three major elements of the Imperial Roman state were the central government , the military , and provincial government . The military established control of a territory through war , but after a city or people was brought under treaty , the military mission turned to policing : protecting Roman citizens ( after 212 AD , all freeborn inhabitants of the Empire ) , the agricultural fields that fed them , and religious sites . Without modern instruments of either mass communication or mass destruction , the Romans lacked sufficient manpower or resources to impose their rule through force alone . Cooperation with local power elites was necessary to maintain order , collect information , and extract revenue . The Romans often exploited internal political divisions by supporting one faction over another : in the view of Plutarch , `` it was discord between factions within cities that led to the loss of self - governance '' . Communities with demonstrated loyalty to Rome retained their own laws , could collect their own taxes locally , and in exceptional cases were exempt from Roman taxation . Legal privileges and relative independence were an incentive to remain in good standing with Rome . Roman government was thus limited , but efficient in its use of the resources available to it . Central government See also : Roman emperor and Senate of the Roman Empire The dominance of the emperor was based on the consolidation of certain powers from several republican offices , including the inviolability of the tribunes of the people and the authority of the censors to manipulate the hierarchy of Roman society . The emperor also made himself the central religious authority as Pontifex Maximus , and centralized the right to declare war , ratify treaties , and negotiate with foreign leaders . While these functions were clearly defined during the Principate , the emperor 's powers over time became less constitutional and more monarchical , culminating in the Dominate .", "24": "Antoninus Pius ( reigned 138 -- 161 ) , wearing a toga ( Hermitage Museum ) The emperor was the ultimate authority in policy - and decision - making , but in the early Principate he was expected to be accessible to individuals from all walks of life , and to deal personally with official business and petitions . A bureaucracy formed around him only gradually . The Julio - Claudian emperors relied on an informal body of advisors that included not only senators and equestrians , but trusted slaves and freedmen . After Nero , the unofficial influence of the latter was regarded with suspicion , and the emperor 's council ( consilium ) became subject to official appointment for the sake of greater transparency . Though the senate took a lead in policy discussions until the end of the Antonine dynasty , equestrians played an increasingly important role in the consilium . The women of the emperor 's family often intervened directly in his decisions . Plotina exercised influence on both her husband Trajan and his successor Hadrian . Her influence was advertised by having her letters on official matters published , as a sign that the emperor was reasonable in his exercise of authority and listened to his people . Access to the emperor by others might be gained at the daily reception ( salutatio ) , a development of the traditional homage a client paid to his patron ; public banquets hosted at the palace ; and religious ceremonies . The common people who lacked this access could manifest their general approval or displeasure as a group at the games held in large venues . By the 4th century , as urban centres decayed , the Christian emperors became remote figureheads who issued general rulings , no longer responding to individual petitions . Although the senate could do little short of assassination and open rebellion to contravene the will of the emperor , it survived the Augustan restoration and the turbulent Year of Four Emperors to retain its symbolic political centrality during the Principate . The senate legitimated the emperor 's rule , and the emperor needed the experience of senators as legates ( legati ) to serve as generals , diplomats , and administrators . A successful career required competence as an administrator and remaining in favour with the emperor , or over time perhaps multiple emperors . The practical source of an emperor 's power and authority was the military .", "25": "The legionaries were paid by the Imperial treasury , and swore an annual military oath of loyalty to the emperor ( sacramentum ) . The death of an emperor led to a crucial period of uncertainty and crisis . Most emperors indicated their choice of successor , usually a close family member or adopted heir . The new emperor had to seek a swift acknowledgement of his status and authority to stabilize the political landscape . No emperor could hope to survive , much less to reign , without the allegiance and loyalty of the Praetorian Guard and of the legions . To secure their loyalty , several emperors paid the donativum , a monetary reward . In theory , the Senate was entitled to choose the new emperor , but did so mindful of acclamation by the army or Praetorians . Military The Roman empire under Hadrian ( ruled 117 -- 138 ) showing the location of the Roman legions deployed in AD 125 Main articles : Imperial Roman army and Structural history of the Roman military The soldiers of the Imperial Roman army were professionals who volunteered for 20 years of active duty and five as reserves . The transition to a professional military had begun during the late Republic , and was one of the many profound shifts away from republicanism , under which an army of conscripts had exercised their responsibilities as citizens in defending the homeland in a campaign against a specific threat . For Imperial Rome , the military was a full - time career in itself . The primary mission of the Roman military of the early empire was to preserve the Pax Romana . The three major divisions of the military were : the garrison at Rome , which includes both the Praetorians and the vigiles who functioned as police and firefighters ; the provincial army , comprising the Roman legions and the auxiliaries provided by the provinces ( auxilia ) ; the navy . The pervasiveness of military garrisons throughout the Empire was a major influence in the process of cultural exchange and assimilation known as `` Romanization , '' particularly in regard to politics , the economy , and religion .", "26": "Knowledge of the Roman military comes from a wide range of sources : Greek and Roman literary texts ; coins with military themes ; papyri preserving military documents ; monuments such as Trajan 's Column and triumphal arches , which feature artistic depictions of both fighting men and military machines ; the archaeology of military burials , battle sites , and camps ; and inscriptions , including military diplomas , epitaphs , and dedications . Through his military reforms , which included consolidating or disbanding units of questionable loyalty , Augustus changed and regularized the legion , down to the hobnail pattern on the soles of army boots . A legion was organized into ten cohorts , each of which comprised six centuries , with a century further made up of ten squads ( contubernia ) ; the exact size of the Imperial legion , which is most likely to have been determined by logistics , has been estimated to range from 4,800 to 5,280 . Relief panel from Trajan 's Column showing the building of a fort and the reception of a Dacian embassy In AD 9 , Germanic tribes wiped out three full legions in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest . This disastrous event reduced the number of the legions to 25 . The total of the legions would later be increased again and for the next 300 years always be a little above or below 30 . The army had about 300,000 soldiers in the 1st century , and under 400,000 in the 2nd , `` significantly smaller '' than the collective armed forces of the territories it conquered . No more than 2 % of adult males living in the Empire served in the Imperial army . Augustus also created the Praetorian Guard : nine cohorts , ostensibly to maintain the public peace , which were garrisoned in Italy . Better paid than the legionaries , the Praetorians served only sixteen years . The auxilia were recruited from among the non-citizens . Organized in smaller units of roughly cohort strength , they were paid less than the legionaries , and after 25 years of service were rewarded with Roman citizenship , also extended to their sons . According to Tacitus there were roughly as many auxiliaries as there were legionaries . The auxilia thus amounted to around 125,000 men , implying approximately 250 auxiliary regiments .", "27": "The Roman cavalry of the earliest Empire were primarily from Celtic , Hispanic or Germanic areas . Several aspects of training and equipment , such as the four - horned saddle , derived from the Celts , as noted by Arrian and indicated by archaeology . The Roman navy ( Latin : classis , `` fleet '' ) not only aided in the supply and transport of the legions , but also helped in the protection of the frontiers along the rivers Rhine and Danube . Another of its duties was the protection of the crucial maritime trade routes against the threat of pirates . It patrolled the whole of the Mediterranean , parts of the North Atlantic coasts , and the Black Sea . Nevertheless , the army was considered the senior and more prestigious branch . Provincial government The Pula Arena in Croatia is one of the largest and most intact of the remaining Roman amphitheatres An annexed territory became a province in a three - step process : making a register of cities , taking a census of the population , and surveying the land . Further government recordkeeping included births and deaths , real estate transactions , taxes , and juridical proceedings . In the 1st and 2nd centuries , the central government sent out around 160 officials each year to govern outside Italy . Among these officials were the `` Roman governors '' , as they are called in English : either magistrates elected at Rome who in the name of the Roman people governed senatorial provinces ; or governors , usually of equestrian rank , who held their imperium on behalf of the emperor in provinces excluded from senatorial control , most notably Roman Egypt . A governor had to make himself accessible to the people he governed , but he could delegate various duties . His staff , however , was minimal : his official attendants ( apparitores ) , including lictors , heralds , messengers , scribes , and bodyguards ; legates , both civil and military , usually of equestrian rank ; and friends , ranging in age and experience , who accompanied him unofficially . Other officials were appointed as supervisors of government finances . Separating fiscal responsibility from justice and administration was a reform of the Imperial era . Under the Republic , provincial governors and tax farmers could exploit local populations for personal gain more freely .", "28": "Equestrian procurators , whose authority was originally `` extra-judicial and extra-constitutional , '' managed both state - owned property and the vast personal property of the emperor ( res privata ) . Because Roman government officials were few in number , a provincial who needed help with a legal dispute or criminal case might seek out any Roman perceived to have some official capacity , such as a procurator or a military officer , including centurions down to the lowly stationarii or military police . Roman law Main article : Roman law Roman portraiture frescos from Pompeii , 1st century AD , depicting two different men wearing laurel wreaths , one holding the rotulus ( blondish figure , left ) , the other a volumen ( brunet figure , right ) , both made of papyrus Roman courts held original jurisdiction over cases involving Roman citizens throughout the empire , but there were too few judicial functionaries to impose Roman law uniformly in the provinces . Most parts of the Eastern empire already had well - established law codes and juridical procedures . In general , it was Roman policy to respect the mos regionis ( `` regional tradition '' or `` law of the land '' ) and to regard local laws as a source of legal precedent and social stability . The compatibility of Roman and local law was thought to reflect an underlying ius gentium , the `` law of nations '' or international law regarded as common and customary among all human communities . If the particulars of provincial law conflicted with Roman law or custom , Roman courts heard appeals , and the emperor held final authority to render a decision . In the West , law had been administered on a highly localized or tribal basis , and private property rights may have been a novelty of the Roman era , particularly among Celtic peoples . Roman law facilitated the acquisition of wealth by a pro-Roman elite who found their new privileges as citizens to be advantageous . The extension of universal citizenship to all free inhabitants of the Empire in 212 required the uniform application of Roman law , replacing the local law codes that had applied to non-citizens . Diocletian 's efforts to stabilize the Empire after the Crisis of the Third Century included two major compilations of law in four years , the Codex Gregorianus and the Codex Hermogenianus , to guide provincial administrators in setting consistent legal standards .", "29": "The pervasive exercise of Roman law throughout Western Europe led to its enormous influence on the Western legal tradition , reflected by the continued use of Latin legal terminology in modern law . Taxation Taxation under the Empire amounted to about 5 % of the Empire 's gross product . The typical tax rate paid by individuals ranged from 2 to 5 % . The tax code was `` bewildering '' in its complicated system of direct and indirect taxes , some paid in cash and some in kind . Taxes might be specific to a province , or kinds of properties such as fisheries or salt evaporation ponds ; they might be in effect for a limited time . Tax collection was justified by the need to maintain the military , and taxpayers sometimes got a refund if the army captured a surplus of booty . In - kind taxes were accepted from less - monetized areas , particularly those who could supply grain or goods to army camps . Personification of the River Nile and his children , from the Temple of Serapis and Isis in Rome ( 1st century AD ) The primary source of direct tax revenue was individuals , who paid a poll tax and a tax on their land , construed as a tax on its produce or productive capacity . Supplemental forms could be filed by those eligible for certain exemptions ; for example , Egyptian farmers could register fields as fallow and tax - exempt depending on flood patterns of the Nile . Tax obligations were determined by the census , which required each head of household to appear before the presiding official and provide a head count of his household , as well as an accounting of property he owned that was suitable for agriculture or habitation . A major source of indirect - tax revenue was the portoria , customs and tolls on imports and exports , including among provinces . Special taxes were levied on the slave trade . Towards the end of his reign , Augustus instituted a 4 % tax on the sale of slaves , which Nero shifted from the purchaser to the dealers , who responded by raising their prices . An owner who manumitted a slave paid a `` freedom tax '' , calculated at 5 % of value . An inheritance tax of 5 % was assessed when Roman citizens above a certain net worth left property to anyone but members of their immediate family . Revenues from the estate tax and from a 1 % sales tax on auctions went towards the veterans ' pension fund ( aerarium militare ) .", "30": "Low taxes helped the Roman aristocracy increase their wealth , which equalled or exceeded the revenues of the central government . An emperor sometimes replenished his treasury by confiscating the estates of the `` super-rich '' , but in the later period , the resistance of the wealthy to paying taxes was one of the factors contributing to the collapse of the Empire . Economy Main article : Roman economy Moses Finley was the chief proponent of the primitivist view that the Roman economy was `` underdeveloped and underachieving , '' characterized by subsistence agriculture ; urban centres that consumed more than they produced in terms of trade and industry ; low - status artisans ; slowly developing technology ; and a `` lack of economic rationality . '' Current views are more complex . Territorial conquests permitted a large - scale reorganization of land use that resulted in agricultural surplus and specialization , particularly in north Africa . Some cities were known for particular industries or commercial activities , and the scale of building in urban areas indicates a significant construction industry . Papyri preserve complex accounting methods that suggest elements of economic rationalism , and the Empire was highly monetized . Although the means of communication and transport were limited in antiquity , transportation in the 1st and 2nd centuries expanded greatly , and trade routes connected regional economies . The supply contracts for the army , which pervaded every part of the Empire , drew on local suppliers near the base ( castrum ) , throughout the province , and across provincial borders . The Empire is perhaps best thought of as a network of regional economies , based on a form of `` political capitalism '' in which the state monitored and regulated commerce to assure its own revenues . Economic growth , though not comparable to modern economies , was greater than that of most other societies prior to industrialization . Socially , economic dynamism opened up one of the avenues of social mobility in the Roman Empire . Social advancement was thus not dependent solely on birth , patronage , good luck , or even extraordinary ability . Although aristocratic values permeated traditional elite society , a strong tendency towards plutocracy is indicated by the wealth requirements for census rank .", "31": "Prestige could be obtained through investing one 's wealth in ways that advertised it appropriately : grand country estates or townhouses , durable luxury items such as jewels and silverware , public entertainments , funerary monuments for family members or coworkers , and religious dedications such as altars . Guilds ( collegia ) and corporations ( corpora ) provided support for individuals to succeed through networking , sharing sound business practices , and a willingness to work . Currency and banking See also : Roman currency and Roman finance Currency denominations 27 BC -- AD 212 : 1 gold aureus ( 1 / 40 lb. of gold , devalued to 1 / 50 lb. by 212 ) = 25 silver denarii = 100 bronze sestertii = 400 copper asses 294 -- 312 : 1 gold aureus solidus ( 1 / 60 lb. of gold ) = 10 silver argentei = 40 bronze folles = 1,000 debased metal denarii 312 onwards : 1 gold solidus ( 1 / 72 lb . ) = 24 silver siliquae = 180 bronze folles The early Empire was monetized to a near - universal extent , in the sense of using money as a way to express prices and debts . The sestertius ( plural sestertii , English `` sesterces '' , symbolized as HS ) was the basic unit of reckoning value into the 4th century , though the silver denarius , worth four sesterces , was used also for accounting beginning in the Severan dynasty . The smallest coin commonly circulated was the bronze as ( plural asses ) , one - fourth sestertius . Bullion and ingots seem not to have counted as pecunia , `` money , '' and were used only on the frontiers for transacting business or buying property . Romans in the 1st and 2nd centuries counted coins , rather than weighing them -- an indication that the coin was valued on its face , not for its metal content . This tendency towards fiat money led eventually to the debasement of Roman coinage , with consequences in the later Empire . The standardization of money throughout the Empire promoted trade and market integration .", "32": "The high amount of metal coinage in circulation increased the money supply for trading or saving . Rome had no central bank , and regulation of the banking system was minimal . Banks of classical antiquity typically kept less in reserves than the full total of customers ' deposits . A typical bank had fairly limited capital , and often only one principal , though a bank might have as many as six to fifteen principals . Seneca assumes that anyone involved in commerce needs access to credit . Solidus issued under Constantine II , and on the reverse Victoria , one of the last deities to appear on Roman coins , gradually transforming into an angel under Christian rule A professional deposit banker ( argentarius , coactor argentarius , or later nummularius ) received and held deposits for a fixed or indefinite term , and lent money to third parties . The senatorial elite were involved heavily in private lending , both as creditors and borrowers , making loans from their personal fortunes on the basis of social connections . The holder of a debt could use it as a means of payment by transferring it to another party , without cash changing hands . Although it has sometimes been thought that ancient Rome lacked `` paper '' or documentary transactions , the system of banks throughout the Empire also permitted the exchange of very large sums without the physical transfer of coins , in part because of the risks of moving large amounts of cash , particularly by sea . Only one serious credit shortage is known to have occurred in the early Empire , a credit crisis in 33 AD that put a number of senators at risk ; the central government rescued the market through a loan of 100 million HS made by the emperor Tiberius to the banks ( mensae ) . Generally , available capital exceeded the amount needed by borrowers . The central government itself did not borrow money , and without public debt had to fund deficits from cash reserves . Emperors of the Antonine and Severan dynasties overall debased the currency , particularly the denarius , under the pressures of meeting military payrolls . Sudden inflation during the reign of Commodus damaged the credit market . In the mid-200s , the supply of specie contracted sharply .", "33": "Conditions during the Crisis of the Third Century -- such as reductions in long - distance trade , disruption of mining operations , and the physical transfer of gold coinage outside the empire by invading enemies -- greatly diminished the money supply and the banking sector by the year 300 . Although Roman coinage had long been fiat money or fiduciary currency , general economic anxieties came to a head under Aurelian , and bankers lost confidence in coins legitimately issued by the central government . Despite Diocletian 's introduction of the gold solidus and monetary reforms , the credit market of the Empire never recovered its former robustness . Mining and Metallurgy Main article : Roman metallurgy See also : Mining in Roman Britain Landscape resulting from the ruina montium mining technique at Las Médulas , Spain , one of the most important gold mines in the Roman Empire The main mining regions of the Empire were the Iberian Peninsula ( gold , silver , copper , tin , lead ) ; Gaul ( gold , silver , iron ) ; Britain ( mainly iron , lead , tin ) , the Danubian provinces ( gold , iron ) ; Macedonia and Thrace ( gold , silver ) ; and Asia Minor ( gold , silver , iron , tin ) . Intensive large - scale mining -- of alluvial deposits , and by means of open - cast mining and underground mining -- took place from the reign of Augustus up to the early 3rd century AD , when the instability of the Empire disrupted production . The gold mines of Dacia , for instance , were no longer available for Roman exploitation after the province was surrendered in 271 . Mining seems to have resumed to some extent during the 4th century . Hydraulic mining , which Pliny referred to as ruina montium ( `` ruin of the mountains '' ) , allowed base and precious metals to be extracted on a proto - industrial scale . The total annual iron output is estimated at 82,500 tonnes . Copper was produced at an annual rate of 15,000 t , and lead at 80,000 t , both production levels unmatched until the Industrial Revolution ; Hispania alone had a 40 % share in world lead production . The high lead output was a by - product of extensive silver mining which reached 200 t per annum .", "34": "At its peak around the mid-2nd century AD , the Roman silver stock is estimated at 10,000 t , five to ten times larger than the combined silver mass of medieval Europe and the Caliphate around 800 AD . As an indication of the scale of Roman metal production , lead pollution in the Greenland ice sheet quadrupled over its prehistoric levels during the Imperial era , and dropped again thereafter . Transportation and communication See also : Roman roads Gallo - Roman relief depicting a river boat transporting wine barrels , an invention of the Gauls that came into widespread use during the 2nd century ; above , wine is stored in the traditional amphorae , some covered in wicker The Roman Empire completely encircled the Mediterranean , which they called `` our sea '' ( mare nostrum ) . Roman sailing vessels navigated the Mediterranean as well as the major rivers of the Empire , including the Guadalquivir , Ebro , Rhône , Rhine , Tiber and Nile . Transport by water was preferred where possible , and moving commodities by land was more difficult . Vehicles , wheels , and ships indicate the existence of a great number of skilled woodworkers . Land transport utilized the advanced system of Roman roads . The in - kind taxes paid by communities included the provision of personnel , animals , or vehicles for the cursus publicus , the state mail and transport service established by Augustus . Relay stations were located along the roads every seven to twelve Roman miles , and tended to grow into a village or trading post . A mansio ( plural mansiones ) was a privately run service station franchised by the imperial bureaucracy for the cursus publicus . The support staff at such a facility included muleteers , secretaries , blacksmiths , cartwrights , a veterinarian , and a few military police and couriers . The distance between mansiones was determined by how far a wagon could travel in a day . Mules were the animal most often used for pulling carts , travelling about 4 mph . As an example of the pace of communication , it took a messenger a minimum of nine days to travel to Rome from Mainz in the province of Germania Superior , even on a matter of urgency .", "35": "In addition to the mansiones , some taverns offered accommodations as well as food and drink ; one recorded tab for a stay showed charges for wine , bread , mule feed , and the services of a prostitute . Trade and commodities See also : Roman commerce , Indo - Roman trade and relations , and Sino - Roman relations The Pompeii Lakshmi , an ivory statuette from India found in the ruins of Pompeii . A green Roman glass cup unearthed from an Eastern Han Dynasty ( 25 -- 220 AD ) tomb in Guangxi , southern China ; the earliest Roman glassware found in China was discovered in a Western Han tomb in Guangzhou , dated to the early 1st century BC , and ostensibly came via the maritime route through the South China Sea Roman provinces traded among themselves , but trade extended outside the frontiers to regions as far away as China and India . The main commodity was grain . Chinese trade was mostly conducted overland through middle men along the Silk Road ; Indian trade , however , also occurred by sea from Egyptian ports on the Red Sea . Also traded were olive oil , various foodstuffs , garum ( fish sauce ) , slaves , ore and manufactured metal objects , fibres and textiles , timber , pottery , glassware , marble , papyrus , spices and materia medica , ivory , pearls , and gemstones . Though most provinces were capable of producing wine , regional varietals were desirable and wine was a central item of trade . Shortages of vin ordinaire were rare . The major suppliers for the city of Rome were the west coast of Italy , southern Gaul , the Tarraconensis region of Hispania , and Crete . Alexandria , the second - largest city , imported wine from Laodicea in Syria and the Aegean . At the retail level , taverns or speciality wine shops ( vinaria ) sold wine by the jug for carryout and by the drink on premises , with price ranges reflecting quality . Labour and occupations Workers at a cloth - processing shop , in a painting from the fullonica of Veranius Hypsaeus in Pompeii Roman hunters during the preparations , set - up of traps , and in - action hunting near Tarraco Inscriptions record 268 different occupations in the city of Rome , and 85 in Pompeii .", "36": "Professional associations or trade guilds ( collegia ) are attested for a wide range of occupations , including fishermen ( piscatores ) , salt merchants ( salinatores ) , olive oil dealers ( olivarii ) , entertainers ( scaenici ) , cattle dealers ( pecuarii ) , goldsmiths ( aurifices ) , teamsters ( asinarii or muliones ) , and stonecutters ( lapidarii ) . These are sometimes quite specialized : one collegium at Rome was strictly limited to craftsmen who worked in ivory and citrus wood . Work performed by slaves falls into five general categories : domestic , with epitaphs recording at least 55 different household jobs ; imperial or public service ; urban crafts and services ; agriculture ; and mining . Convicts provided much of the labour in the mines or quarries , where conditions were notoriously brutal . In practice , there was little division of labour between slave and free , and most workers were illiterate and without special skills . The greatest number of common labourers were employed in agriculture : in the Italian system of industrial farming ( latifundia ) , these may have been mostly slaves , but throughout the Empire , slave farm labour was probably less important than other forms of dependent labour by people who were technically not enslaved . Textile and clothing production was a major source of employment . Both textiles and finished garments were traded among the peoples of the Empire , whose products were often named for them or a particular town , rather like a fashion `` label '' . Better ready - to - wear was exported by businessmen ( negotiatores or mercatores ) who were often well - to - do residents of the production centres . Finished garments might be retailed by their sales agents , who travelled to potential customers , or by vestiarii , clothing dealers who were mostly freedmen ; or they might be peddled by itinerant merchants . In Egypt , textile producers could run prosperous small businesses employing apprentices , free workers earning wages , and slaves . The fullers ( fullones ) and dye workers ( coloratores ) had their own guilds . Centonarii were guild workers who specialized in textile production and the recycling of old clothes into pieced goods . GDP and income distribution For more details on this topic , see Roman economy § Gross domestic product .", "37": "Economic historians vary in their calculations of the gross domestic product of the Roman economy during the Principate . In the sample years of 14 , 100 , and 150 AD , estimates of per capita GDP range from 166 to 380 HS . The GDP per capita of Italy is estimated as 40 to 66 % higher than in the rest of the Empire , due to tax transfers from the provinces and the concentration of elite income in the heartland . In the Scheidel -- Friesen economic model , the total annual income generated by the Empire is placed at nearly 20 billion HS , with about 5 % extracted by central and local government . Households in the top 1.5 % of income distribution captured about 20 % of income . Another 20 % went to about 10 % of the population who can be characterized as a non-elite middle . The remaining `` vast majority '' produced more than half of the total income , but lived near subsistence . Architecture and engineering Main articles : Ancient Roman architecture , Roman engineering , and Roman technology Amphitheatres of the Roman Empire Construction on the Flavian Amphitheatre , more commonly known as the Colosseum , began during the reign of Vespasian The chief Roman contributions to architecture were the arch , vault and the dome . Even after more than 2,000 years some Roman structures still stand , due in part to sophisticated methods of making cements and concrete . Roman roads are considered the most advanced roads built until the early 19th century . The system of roadways facilitated military policing , communications , and trade . The roads were resistant to floods and other environmental hazards . Even after the collapse of the central government , some roads remained usable for more than a thousand years . Roman bridges were among the first large and lasting bridges , built from stone with the arch as the basic structure . Most utilized concrete as well . The largest Roman bridge was Trajan 's bridge over the lower Danube , constructed by Apollodorus of Damascus , which remained for over a millennium the longest bridge to have been built both in terms of overall span and length . The Romans built many dams and reservoirs for water collection , such as the Subiaco Dams , two of which fed the Anio Novus , one of the largest aqueducts of Rome .", "38": "They built 72 dams just on the Iberian peninsula , and many more are known across the Empire , some still in use . Several earthen dams are known from Roman Britain , including a well - preserved example from Longovicium ( Lanchester ) . The Pont du Gard aqueduct , which crosses the Gardon River in southern France , is on UNESCO 's list of World Heritage Sites The Romans constructed numerous aqueducts . A surviving treatise by Frontinus , who served as curator aquarum ( water commissioner ) under Nerva , reflects the administrative importance placed on ensuring the water supply . Masonry channels carried water from distant springs and reservoirs along a precise gradient , using gravity alone . After the water passed through the aqueduct , it was collected in tanks and fed through pipes to public fountains , baths , toilets , or industrial sites . The main aqueducts in the city of Rome were the Aqua Claudia and the Aqua Marcia . The complex system built to supply Constantinople had its most distant supply drawn from over 120 km away along a sinuous route of more than 336 km . Roman aqueducts were built to remarkably fine tolerance , and to a technological standard that was not to be equalled until modern times . The Romans also made use of aqueducts in their extensive mining operations across the empire , at sites such as Las Medulas and Dolaucothi in South Wales . Insulated glazing ( or `` double glazing '' ) was used in the construction of public baths . Elite housing in cooler climates might have hypocausts , a form of central heating . The Romans were the first culture to assemble all essential components of the much later steam engine , when Hero built the aeolipile . With the crank and connecting rod system , all elements for constructing a steam engine ( invented in 1712 ) -- Hero 's aeolipile ( generating steam power ) , the cylinder and piston ( in metal force pumps ) , non-return valves ( in water pumps ) , gearing ( in water mills and clocks ) -- were known in Roman times . Daily life Main article : Culture of ancient Rome Cityscape from the Villa Boscoreale ( 60s AD ) City and country In the ancient world , a city was viewed as a place that fostered civilization by being `` properly designed , ordered , and adorned . ''", "39": "Augustus undertook a vast building programme in Rome , supported public displays of art that expressed the new imperial ideology , and reorganized the city into neighbourhoods ( vici ) administered at the local level with police and firefighting services . A focus of Augustan monumental architecture was the Campus Martius , an open area outside the city centre that in early times had been devoted to equestrian sports and physical training for youth . The Altar of Augustan Peace ( Ara Pacis Augustae ) was located there , as was an obelisk imported from Egypt that formed the pointer ( gnomon ) of a horologium . With its public gardens , the Campus became one of the most attractive places in the city to visit . City planning and urban lifestyles had been influenced by the Greeks from an early period , and in the eastern Empire , Roman rule accelerated and shaped the local development of cities that already had a strong Hellenistic character . Cities such as Athens , Aphrodisias , Ephesus and Gerasa altered some aspects of city planning and architecture to conform to imperial ideals , while also expressing their individual identity and regional preeminence . In the areas of the western Empire inhabited by Celtic - speaking peoples , Rome encouraged the development of urban centres with stone temples , forums , monumental fountains , and amphitheatres , often on or near the sites of the preexisting walled settlements known as oppida . Urbanization in Roman Africa expanded on Greek and Punic cities along the coast . Aquae Sulis in Bath , England : architectural features above the level of the pillar bases are a later reconstruction The network of cities throughout the Empire ( coloniae , municipia , civitates or in Greek terms poleis ) was a primary cohesive force during the Pax Romana . Romans of the 1st and 2nd centuries AD were encouraged by imperial propaganda to `` inculcate the habits of peacetime '' . As the classicist Clifford Ando has noted : Most of the cultural appurtenances popularly associated with imperial culture -- public cult and its games and civic banquets , competitions for artists , speakers , and athletes , as well as the funding of the great majority of public buildings and public display of art -- were financed by private individuals , whose expenditures in this regard helped to justify their economic power and legal and provincial privileges .", "40": "Even the Christian polemicist Tertullian declared that the world of the late 2nd century was more orderly and well - cultivated than in earlier times : `` Everywhere there are houses , everywhere people , everywhere the res publica , the commonwealth , everywhere life . '' The decline of cities and civic life in the 4th century , when the wealthy classes were unable or disinclined to support public works , was one sign of the Empire 's imminent dissolution . Public toilets ( latrinae ) from Ostia Antica In the city of Rome , most people lived in multistory apartment buildings ( insulae ) that were often squalid firetraps . Public facilities -- such as baths ( thermae ) , toilets that were flushed with running water ( latrinae ) , conveniently located basins or elaborate fountains ( nymphea ) delivering fresh water , and large - scale entertainments such as chariot races and gladiator combat -- were aimed primarily at the common people who lived in the insulae . Similar facilities were constructed in cities throughout the Empire , and some of the best - preserved Roman structures are in Spain , southern France , and northern Africa . The public baths served hygienic , social and cultural functions . Bathing was the focus of daily socializing in the late afternoon before dinner . Roman baths were distinguished by a series of rooms that offered communal bathing in three temperatures , with varying amenities that might include an exercise and weight - training room , sauna , exfoliation spa ( where oils were massaged into the skin and scraped from the body with a strigil ) , ball court , or outdoor swimming pool . Baths had hypocaust heating : the floors were suspended over hot - air channels that circulated warmth . Mixed nude bathing was not unusual in the early Empire , though some baths may have offered separate facilities or hours for men and women . Public baths were a part of urban culture throughout the provinces , but in the late 4th century , individual tubs began to replace communal bathing . Christians were advised to go to the baths for health and cleanliness , not pleasure , but to avoid the games ( ludi ) , which were part of religious festivals they considered `` pagan '' . Tertullian says that otherwise Christians not only availed themselves of the baths , but participated fully in commerce and society .", "41": "Reconstructed peristyle garden based on the House of the Vettii Rich families from Rome usually had two or more houses , a townhouse ( domus , plural domūs ) and at least one luxury home ( villa ) outside the city . The domus was a privately owned single - family house , and might be furnished with a private bath ( balneum ) , but it was not a place to retreat from public life . Although some neighbourhoods of Rome show a higher concentration of well - to - do houses , the rich did not live in segregated enclaves . Their houses were meant to be visible and accessible . The atrium served as a reception hall in which the paterfamilias ( head of household ) met with clients every morning , from wealthy friends to poorer dependents who received charity . It was also a centre of family religious rites , containing a shrine and the images of family ancestors . The houses were located on busy public roads , and ground - level spaces facing the street were often rented out as shops ( tabernae ) . In addition to a kitchen garden -- windowboxes might substitute in the insulae -- townhouses typically enclosed a peristyle garden that brought a tract of nature , made orderly , within walls . Birds and fountain within a garden setting , with oscilla ( hanging masks ) above , in a painting from Pompeii The villa by contrast was an escape from the bustle of the city , and in literature represents a lifestyle that balances the civilized pursuit of intellectual and artistic interests ( otium ) with an appreciation of nature and the agricultural cycle . Ideally a villa commanded a view or vista , carefully framed by the architectural design . It might be located on a working estate , or in a `` resort town '' situated on the seacoast , such as Pompeii and Herculaneum . The programme of urban renewal under Augustus , and the growth of Rome 's population to as many as 1 million people , was accompanied by a nostalgia for rural life expressed in the arts . Poetry praised the idealized lives of farmers and shepherds . The interiors of houses were often decorated with painted gardens , fountains , landscapes , vegetative ornament , and animals , especially birds and marine life , rendered accurately enough that modern scholars can sometimes identify them by species .", "42": "The Augustan poet Horace gently satirized the dichotomy of urban and rural values in his fable of the city mouse and the country mouse , which has often been retold as a children 's story . On a more practical level , the central government took an active interest in supporting agriculture . Producing food was the top priority of land use . Larger farms ( latifundia ) achieved an economy of scale that sustained urban life and its more specialized division of labour . Small farmers benefited from the development of local markets in towns and trade centres . Agricultural techniques such as crop rotation and selective breeding were disseminated throughout the Empire , and new crops were introduced from one province to another , such as peas and cabbage to Britain . Maintaining an affordable food supply to the city of Rome had become a major political issue in the late Republic , when the state began to provide a grain dole ( annona ) to citizens who registered for it . About 200,000 -- 250,000 adult males in Rome received the dole , amounting to about 33 kg . per month , for a per annum total of about 100,000 tons of wheat primarily from Sicily , north Africa , and Egypt . The dole cost at least 15 % of state revenues , but improved living conditions and family life among the lower classes , and subsidized the rich by allowing workers to spend more of their earnings on the wine and olive oil produced on the estates of the landowning class . Bread stall , from a Pompeiian wall painting The grain dole also had symbolic value : it affirmed both the emperor 's position as universal benefactor , and the right of all citizens to share in `` the fruits of conquest '' . The annona , public facilities , and spectacular entertainments mitigated the otherwise dreary living conditions of lower - class Romans , and kept social unrest in check . The satirist Juvenal , however , saw `` bread and circuses '' ( panem et circenses ) as emblematic of the loss of republican political liberty : The public has long since cast off its cares : the people that once bestowed commands , consulships , legions and all else , now meddles no more and longs eagerly for just two things : bread and circuses .", "43": "Food and dining Main article : Food and dining in the Roman Empire See also : Grain supply to the city of Rome and Ancient Rome and wine Most apartments in Rome lacked kitchens , though a charcoal brazier could be used for rudimentary cookery . Prepared food was sold at pubs and bars , inns , and food stalls ( tabernae , cauponae , popinae , thermopolia ) . Carryout and restaurant dining were for the lower classes ; fine dining could be sought only at private dinner parties in well - to - do houses with a chef ( archimagirus ) and trained kitchen staff , or at banquets hosted by social clubs ( collegia ) . Most people would have consumed at least 70 % of their daily calories in the form of cereals and legumes . Puls ( pottage ) was considered the aboriginal food of the Romans . The basic grain pottage could be elaborated with chopped vegetables , bits of meat , cheese , or herbs to produce dishes similar to polenta or risotto . An Ostian taberna for eating and drinking ; the faded painting over the counter pictured eggs , olives , fruit and radishes Urban populations and the military preferred to consume their grain in the form of bread . Mills and commercial ovens were usually combined in a bakery complex . By the reign of Aurelian , the state had begun to distribute the annona as a daily ration of bread baked in state factories , and added olive oil , wine , and pork to the dole . The importance of a good diet to health was recognized by medical writers such as Galen ( 2nd century AD ) , whose treatises included one On Barley Soup . Views on nutrition were influenced by schools of thought such as humoral theory . Roman literature focuses on the dining habits of the upper classes , for whom the evening meal ( cena ) had important social functions . Guests were entertained in a finely decorated dining room ( triclinium ) , often with a view of the peristyle garden . Diners lounged on couches , leaning on the left elbow . By the late Republic , if not earlier , women dined , reclined , and drank wine along with men .", "44": "The most famous description of a Roman meal is probably Trimalchio 's dinner party in the Satyricon , a fictional extravaganza that bears little resemblance to reality even among the most wealthy . The poet Martial describes serving a more plausible dinner , beginning with the gustatio ( `` tasting '' or `` appetizer '' ) , which was a composed salad of mallow leaves , lettuce , chopped leeks , mint , arugula , mackerel garnished with rue , sliced eggs , and marinated sow udder . The main course was succulent cuts of kid , beans , greens , a chicken , and leftover ham , followed by a dessert of fresh fruit and vintage wine . The Latin expression for a full - course dinner was ab ovo usque mala , `` from the egg to the apples , '' equivalent to the English `` from soup to nuts . '' Still life on a 2nd - century Roman mosaic A book - length collection of Roman recipes is attributed to Apicius , a name for several figures in antiquity that became synonymous with `` gourmet . '' Roman `` foodies '' indulged in wild game , fowl such as peacock and flamingo , large fish ( mullet was especially prized ) , and shellfish . Luxury ingredients were brought by the fleet from the far reaches of empire , from the Parthian frontier to the Straits of Gibraltar . Refined cuisine could be moralized as a sign of either civilized progress or decadent decline . The early Imperial historian Tacitus contrasted the indulgent luxuries of the Roman table in his day with the simplicity of the Germanic diet of fresh wild meat , foraged fruit , and cheese , unadulterated by imported seasonings and elaborate sauces . Most often , because of the importance of landowning in Roman culture , produce -- cereals , legumes , vegetables , and fruit -- was considered a more civilized form of food than meat . The Mediterranean staples of bread , wine , and oil were sacralized by Roman Christianity , while Germanic meat consumption became a mark of paganism , as it might be the product of animal sacrifice . Some philosophers and Christians resisted the demands of the body and the pleasures of food , and adopted fasting as an ideal .", "45": "Food became simpler in general as urban life in the West diminished , trade routes were disrupted , and the rich retreated to the more limited self - sufficiency of their country estates . As an urban lifestyle came to be associated with decadence , the Church formally discouraged gluttony , and hunting and pastoralism were seen as simple , virtuous ways of life . Recreation and spectacles See also : Ludi , Chariot racing , and Gladiator Wall painting depicting a sports riot at the amphitheatre of Pompeii , which led to the banning of gladiator combat in the town When Juvenal complained that the Roman people had exchanged their political liberty for `` bread and circuses '' , he was referring to the state - provided grain dole and the circenses , events held in the entertainment venue called a circus in Latin . The largest such venue in Rome was the Circus Maximus , the setting of horse races , chariot races , the equestrian Troy Game , staged beast hunts ( venationes ) , athletic contests , gladiator combat , and historical re-enactments . From earliest times , several religious festivals had featured games ( ludi ) , primarily horse and chariot races ( ludi circenses ) . Although their entertainment value tended to overshadow ritual significance , the races remained part of archaic religious observances that pertained to agriculture , initiation , and the cycle of birth and death . Under Augustus , public entertainments were presented on 77 days of the year ; by the reign of Marcus Aurelius , the number of days had expanded to 135 . Circus games were preceded by an elaborate parade ( pompa circensis ) that ended at the venue . Competitive events were held also in smaller venues such as the amphitheatre , which became the characteristic Roman spectacle venue , and stadium . Greek - style athletics included footraces , boxing , wrestling , and the pancratium . Aquatic displays , such as the mock sea battle ( naumachia ) and a form of `` water ballet '' , were presented in engineered pools . State - supported theatrical events ( ludi scaenici ) took place on temple steps or in grand stone theatres , or in the smaller enclosed theatre called an odeum .", "46": "A victor in his four - horse chariot Circuses were the largest structure regularly built in the Roman world , though the Greeks had their own architectural traditions for the similarly purposed hippodrome . The Flavian Amphitheatre , better known as the Colosseum , became the regular arena for blood sports in Rome after it opened in 80 AD . The circus races continued to be held more frequently . The Circus Maximus could seat around 150,000 spectators , and the Colosseum about 50,000 with standing room for about 10,000 more . Many Roman amphitheatres , circuses and theatres built in cities outside Italy are visible as ruins today . The local ruling elite were responsible for sponsoring spectacles and arena events , which both enhanced their status and drained their resources . The physical arrangement of the amphitheatre represented the order of Roman society : the emperor presiding in his opulent box ; senators and equestrians watching from the advantageous seats reserved for them ; women seated at a remove from the action ; slaves given the worst places , and everybody else packed in - between . The crowd could call for an outcome by booing or cheering , but the emperor had the final say . Spectacles could quickly become sites of social and political protest , and emperors sometimes had to deploy force to put down crowd unrest , most notoriously at the Nika riots in the year 532 , when troops under Justinian slaughtered thousands . The Zliten mosaic , from a dining room in present - day Libya , depicts a series of arena scenes : from top , musicians playing a Roman tuba , a water pipe organ and two horns ; six pairs of gladiators with two referees ; four beast fighters ; and three convicts condemned to the beasts The chariot teams were known by the colours they wore , with the Blues and Greens the most popular . Fan loyalty was fierce and at times erupted into sports riots . Racing was perilous , but charioteers were among the most celebrated and well - compensated athletes . One star of the sport was Diocles , from Lusitania ( present - day Portugal ) , who raced chariots for 24 years and had career earnings of 35 million sesterces . Horses had their fans too , and were commemorated in art and inscriptions , sometimes by name .", "47": "The design of Roman circuses was developed to assure that no team had an unfair advantage and to minimize collisions ( naufragia , `` shipwrecks '' ) , which were nonetheless frequent and spectacularly satisfying to the crowd . The races retained a magical aura through their early association with chthonic rituals : circus images were considered protective or lucky , curse tablets have been found buried at the site of racetracks , and charioteers were often suspected of sorcery . Chariot racing continued into the Byzantine period under imperial sponsorship , but the decline of cities in the 6th and 7th centuries led to its eventual demise . The Romans thought gladiator contests had originated with funeral games and sacrifices in which select captive warriors were forced to fight to expiate the deaths of noble Romans . Some of the earliest styles of gladiator fighting had ethnic designations such as `` Thracian '' or `` Gallic '' . The staged combats were considered munera , `` services , offerings , benefactions '' , initially distinct from the festival games ( ludi ) . Throughout his 40 - year reign , Augustus presented eight gladiator shows in which a total of 10,000 men fought , as well as 26 staged beast hunts that resulted in the deaths of 3,500 animals . To mark the opening of the Colosseum , the emperor Titus presented 100 days of arena events , with 3,000 gladiators competing on a single day . Roman fascination with gladiators is indicated by how widely they are depicted on mosaics , wall paintings , lamps , and even graffiti drawings . Gladiators were trained combatants who might be slaves , convicts , or free volunteers . Death was not a necessary or even desirable outcome in matches between these highly skilled fighters , whose training represented a costly and time - consuming investment . By contrast , noxii were convicts sentenced to the arena with little or no training , often unarmed , and with no expectation of survival . Physical suffering and humiliation were considered appropriate retributive justice for the crimes they had committed . These executions were sometimes staged or ritualized as re-enactments of myths , and amphitheatres were equipped with elaborate stage machinery to create special effects . Tertullian considered deaths in the arena to be nothing more than a dressed - up form of human sacrifice .", "48": "Modern scholars have found the pleasure Romans took in the `` theatre of life and death '' to be one of the more difficult aspects of their civilization to understand and explain . The younger Pliny rationalized gladiator spectacles as good for the people , a way `` to inspire them to face honourable wounds and despise death , by exhibiting love of glory and desire for victory even in the bodies of slaves and criminals '' . Some Romans such as Seneca were critical of the brutal spectacles , but found virtue in the courage and dignity of the defeated fighter rather than in victory -- an attitude that finds its fullest expression with the Christians martyred in the arena . Even martyr literature , however , offers `` detailed , indeed luxuriant , descriptions of bodily suffering '' , and became a popular genre at times indistinguishable from fiction . Personal training and play Boys and girls playing ball games ( 2nd century relief from the Louvre ) In the plural , ludi almost always refers to the large - scale spectator games . The singular ludus , `` play , game , sport , training , '' had a wide range of meanings such as `` word play , '' `` theatrical performance , '' `` board game , '' `` primary school , '' and even `` gladiator training school '' ( as in Ludus Magnus , the largest such training camp at Rome ) . Activities for children and young people included hoop rolling and knucklebones ( astragali or `` jacks '' ) . The sarcophagi of children often show them playing games . Girls had dolls , typically 15 -- 16 cm tall with jointed limbs , made of materials such as wood , terracotta , and especially bone and ivory . Ball games include trigon , which required dexterity , and harpastum , a rougher sport . Pets appear often on children 's memorials and in literature , including birds , dogs , cats , goats , sheep , rabbits and geese . So - called `` bikini girls '' mosaic from the Villa del Casale , Roman Sicily , 4th century After adolescence , most physical training for males was of a military nature . The Campus Martius originally was an exercise field where young men developed the skills of horsemanship and warfare . Hunting was also considered an appropriate pastime .", "49": "According to Plutarch , conservative Romans disapproved of Greek - style athletics that promoted a fine body for its own sake , and condemned Nero 's efforts to encourage gymnastic games in the Greek manner . Some women trained as gymnasts and dancers , and a rare few as female gladiators . The famous `` bikini girls '' mosaic shows young women engaging in apparatus routines that might be compared to rhythmic gymnastics . Women in general were encouraged to maintain their health through activities such as playing ball , swimming , walking , reading aloud ( as a breathing exercise ) , riding in vehicles , and travel . Stone game board from Aphrodisias : boards could also be made of wood , with deluxe versions in costly materials such as ivory ; game pieces or counters were bone , glass , or polished stone , and might be coloured or have markings or images People of all ages played board games pitting two players against each other , including latrunculi ( `` Raiders '' ) , a game of strategy in which opponents coordinated the movements and capture of multiple game pieces , and XII scripta ( `` Twelve Marks '' ) , involving dice and arranging pieces on a grid of letters or words . A game referred to as alea ( dice ) or tabula ( the board ) , to which the emperor Claudius was notoriously addicted , may have been similar to backgammon , using a dice - cup ( pyrgus ) . Playing with dice as a form of gambling was disapproved of , but was a popular pastime during the December festival of the Saturnalia with its carnival , norms - overturned atmosphere . Clothing Main article : Clothing in ancient Rome In a status - conscious society like that of the Romans , clothing and personal adornment gave immediate visual clues about the etiquette of interacting with the wearer . Wearing the correct clothing was supposed to reflect a society in good order . The toga was the distinctive national garment of the Roman male citizen , but it was heavy and impractical , worn mainly for conducting political business and religious rites , and for going to court . The clothing Romans wore ordinarily was dark or colourful , and the most common male attire seen daily throughout the provinces would have been tunics , cloaks , and in some regions trousers .", "50": "The study of how Romans dressed in daily life is complicated by a lack of direct evidence , since portraiture may show the subject in clothing with symbolic value , and surviving textiles from the period are rare . Women from the wall painting at the Villa of the Mysteries , Pompeii The basic garment for all Romans , regardless of gender or wealth , was the simple sleeved tunic . The length differed by wearer : a man 's reached mid-calf , but a soldier 's was somewhat shorter ; a woman 's fell to her feet , and a child 's to its knees . The tunics of poor people and labouring slaves were made from coarse wool in natural , dull shades , with the length determined by the type of work they did . Finer tunics were made of lightweight wool or linen . A man who belonged to the senatorial or equestrian order wore a tunic with two purple stripes ( clavi ) woven vertically into the fabric : the wider the stripe , the higher the wearer 's status . Other garments could be layered over the tunic . The Imperial toga was a `` vast expanse '' of semi-circular white wool that could not be put on and draped correctly without assistance . In his work on oratory , Quintilian describes in detail how the public speaker ought to orchestrate his gestures in relation to his toga . In art , the toga is shown with the long end dipping between the feet , a deep curved fold in front , and a bulbous flap at the midsection . The drapery became more intricate and structured over time , with the cloth forming a tight roll across the chest in later periods . The toga praetexta , with a purple or purplish - red stripe representing inviolability , was worn by children who had not come of age , curule magistrates , and state priests . Only the emperor could wear an all - purple toga ( toga picta ) . Claudius wearing an early Imperial toga ( see a later , more structured toga above ) , and the pallium as worn by a priest of Serapis , sometimes identified as the emperor Julian In the 2nd century , emperors and men of status are often portrayed wearing the pallium , an originally Greek mantle ( himation ) folded tightly around the body . Women are also portrayed in the pallium .", "51": "Tertullian considered the pallium an appropriate garment both for Christians , in contrast to the toga , and for educated people , since it was associated with philosophers . By the 4th century , the toga had been more or less replaced by the pallium as a garment that embodied social unity . Roman clothing styles changed over time , though not as rapidly as fashions today . In the Dominate , clothing worn by both soldiers and government bureaucrats became highly decorated , with woven or embroidered stripes ( clavi ) and circular roundels ( orbiculi ) applied to tunics and cloaks . These decorative elements consisted of geometrical patterns , stylized plant motifs , and in more elaborate examples , human or animal figures . The use of silk increased , and courtiers of the later Empire wore elaborate silk robes . The militarization of Roman society , and the waning of cultural life based on urban ideals , affected habits of dress : heavy military - style belts were worn by bureaucrats as well as soldiers , and the toga was abandoned . The arts Main article : Roman art The Wedding of Zephyrus and Chloris ( 54 -- 68 AD , Pompeian Fourth Style ) within painted architectural panels from the Casa del Naviglio People visiting or living in Rome or the cities throughout the Empire would have seen art in a range of styles and media on a daily basis . Public or official art -- including sculpture , monuments such as victory columns or triumphal arches , and the iconography on coins -- is often analysed for its historical significance or as an expression of imperial ideology . At Imperial public baths , a person of humble means could view wall paintings , mosaics , statues , and interior decoration often of high quality . In the private sphere , objects made for religious dedications , funerary commemoration , domestic use , and commerce can show varying degrees of aesthetic quality and artistic skill . A wealthy person might advertise his appreciation of culture through painting , sculpture , and decorative arts at his home -- though some efforts strike modern viewers and some ancient connoisseurs as strenuous rather than tasteful . Greek art had a profound influence on the Roman tradition , and some of the most famous examples of Greek statues are known only from Roman Imperial versions and the occasional description in a Greek or Latin literary source .", "52": "Despite the high value placed on works of art , even famous artists were of low social status among the Greeks and Romans , who regarded artists , artisans , and craftsmen alike as manual labourers . At the same time , the level of skill required to produce quality work was recognized , and even considered a divine gift . Portraiture Main article : Roman portraiture Two portraits circa 130 AD : the empress Vibia Sabina ( left ) ; and the Antinous Mondragone , one of the abundant likenesses of Hadrian 's famously beautiful male companion Antinous Portraiture , which survives mainly in the medium of sculpture , was the most copious form of imperial art . Portraits during the Augustan period utilize youthful and classical proportions , evolving later into a mixture of realism and idealism . Republican portraits had been characterized by a `` warts and all '' verism , but as early as the 2nd century BC , the Greek convention of heroic nudity was adopted sometimes for portraying conquering generals . Imperial portrait sculptures may model the head as mature , even craggy , atop a nude or seminude body that is smooth and youthful with perfect musculature ; a portrait head might even be added to a body created for another purpose . Clothed in the toga or military regalia , the body communicates rank or sphere of activity , not the characteristics of the individual . Women of the emperor 's family were often depicted dressed as goddesses or divine personifications such as Pax ( `` Peace '' ) . Portraiture in painting is represented primarily by the Fayum mummy portraits , which evoke Egyptian and Roman traditions of commemorating the dead with the realistic painting techniques of the Empire . Marble portrait sculpture would have been painted , and while traces of paint have only rarely survived the centuries , the Fayum portraits indicate why ancient literary sources marvelled at how lifelike artistic representations could be .", "53": "The bronze Drunken Satyr , excavated at Herculaneum and exhibited in the 18th century , inspired an interest among later sculptors in similar `` carefree '' subjects Sculpture Main article : Roman sculpture Examples of Roman sculpture survive abundantly , though often in damaged or fragmentary condition , including freestanding statues and statuettes in marble , bronze and terracotta , and reliefs from public buildings , temples , and monuments such as the Ara Pacis , Trajan 's Column , and the Arch of Titus . Niches in amphitheatres such as the Colosseum were originally filled with statues , and no formal garden was complete without statuary . Temples housed the cult images of deities , often by famed sculptors . The religiosity of the Romans encouraged the production of decorated altars , small representations of deities for the household shrine or votive offerings , and other pieces for dedicating at temples . Divine and mythological figures were also given secular , humorous , and even obscene depictions . On the Ludovisi sarcophagus , an example of the battle scenes favoured during the Crisis of the Third Century , the `` writhing and highly emotive '' Romans and Goths fill the surface in a packed , anti-classical composition Sarcophagi Main article : Ancient Roman sarcophagi Elaborately carved marble and limestone sarcophagi are characteristic of the 2nd to the 4th centuries with at least 10,000 examples surviving . Although mythological scenes have been most widely studied , sarcophagus relief has been called the `` richest single source of Roman iconography , '' and may also depict the deceased 's occupation or life course , military scenes , and other subject matter . The same workshops produced sarcophagi with Jewish or Christian imagery . The Primavera of Stabiae , perhaps the goddess Flora Painting Much of what is known of Roman painting is based on the interior decoration of private homes , particularly as preserved at Pompeii and Herculaneum by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD . In addition to decorative borders and panels with geometric or vegetative motifs , wall painting depicts scenes from mythology and the theatre , landscapes and gardens , recreation and spectacles , work and everyday life , and frank pornography .", "54": "Birds , animals , and marine life are often depicted with careful attention to realistic detail . A unique source for Jewish figurative painting under the Empire is the Dura - Europos synagogue , dubbed `` the Pompeii of the Syrian Desert , '' buried and preserved in the mid-3rd century after the city was destroyed by Persians . Mosaic Main article : Roman mosaic The Triumph of Neptune floor mosaic from Africa Proconsularis ( present - day Tunisia ) , celebrating agricultural success with allegories of the Seasons , vegetation , workers and animals viewable from multiple perspectives in the room ( latter 2nd century ) Mosaics are among the most enduring of Roman decorative arts , and are found on the surfaces of floors and other architectural features such as walls , vaulted ceilings , and columns . The most common form is the tessellated mosaic , formed from uniform pieces ( tesserae ) of materials such as stone and glass . Mosaics were usually crafted on site , but sometimes assembled and shipped as ready - made panels . A mosaic workshop was led by the master artist ( pictor ) who worked with two grades of assistants . Figurative mosaics share many themes with painting , and in some cases portray subject matter in almost identical compositions . Although geometric patterns and mythological scenes occur throughout the Empire , regional preferences also find expression . In North Africa , a particularly rich source of mosaics , homeowners often chose scenes of life on their estates , hunting , agriculture , and local wildlife . Plentiful and major examples of Roman mosaics come also from present - day Turkey , Italy , southern France , Spain , and Portugal . More than 300 Antioch mosaics from the 3rd century are known . Opus sectile is a related technique in which flat stone , usually coloured marble , is cut precisely into shapes from which geometric or figurative patterns are formed . This more difficult technique was highly prized , and became especially popular for luxury surfaces in the 4th century , an abundant example of which is the Basilica of Junius Bassus . Decorative arts See also : Ancient Roman pottery and Roman glass Decorative arts for luxury consumers included fine pottery , silver and bronze vessels and implements , and glassware . The manufacture of pottery in a wide range of quality was important to trade and employment , as were the glass and metalworking industries .", "55": "Imports stimulated new regional centres of production . Southern Gaul became a leading producer of the finer red - gloss pottery ( terra sigillata ) that was a major item of trade in 1st - century Europe . Glassblowing was regarded by the Romans as originating in Syria in the 1st century BC , and by the 3rd century Egypt and the Rhineland had become noted for fine glass .

Such masks were occasionally also specific to a particular role , and an actor could then play multiple roles merely by switching masks . Female roles were played by men in drag ( travesti ) . Roman literary theatre tradition is particularly well represented in Latin literature by the tragedies of Seneca . The circumstances under which Seneca 's tragedies were performed are however unclear ; scholarly conjectures range from minimally staged readings to full production pageants . More popular than literary theatre was the genre - defying mimus theatre , which featured scripted scenarios with free improvisation , risqué language and jokes , sex scenes , action sequences , and political satire , along with dance numbers , juggling , acrobatics , tightrope walking , striptease , and dancing bears . Unlike literary theatre , mimus was played without masks , and encouraged stylistic realism in acting . Female roles were performed by women , not by men . Mimus was related to the genre called pantomimus , an early form of story ballet that contained no spoken dialogue . Pantomimus combined expressive dancing , instrumental music and a sung libretto , often mythological , that could be either tragic or comic .", "56": "All - male theatrical troupe preparing for a masked performance , on a mosaic from the House of the Tragic Poet Although sometimes regarded as foreign elements in Roman culture , music and dance had existed in Rome from earliest times . Music was customary at funerals , and the tibia ( Greek aulos ) , a woodwind instrument , was played at sacrifices to ward off ill influences . Song ( carmen ) was an integral part of almost every social occasion . The Secular Ode of Horace , commissioned by Augustus , was performed publicly in 17 BC by a mixed children 's choir . Music was thought to reflect the orderliness of the cosmos , and was associated particularly with mathematics and knowledge . Various woodwinds and `` brass '' instruments were played , as were stringed instruments such as the cithara , and percussion . The cornu , a long tubular metal wind instrument that curved around the musician 's body , was used for military signals and on parade . These instruments are found in parts of the Empire where they did not originate , and indicate that music was among the aspects of Roman culture that spread throughout the provinces . Instruments are widely depicted in Roman art . The hydraulic pipe organ ( hydraulis ) was `` one of the most significant technical and musical achievements of antiquity '' , and accompanied gladiator games and events in the amphitheatre , as well as stage performances . It was among the instruments that the emperor Nero played . Although certain forms of dance were disapproved of at times as non-Roman or unmanly , dancing was embedded in religious rituals of archaic Rome , such as those of the dancing armed Salian priests and of the Arval Brothers , priesthoods which underwent a revival during the Principate . Ecstatic dancing was a feature of the international mystery religions , particularly the cult of Cybele as practised by her eunuch priests the Galli and of Isis . In the secular realm , dancing girls from Syria and Cadiz were extremely popular . Like gladiators , entertainers were infames in the eyes of the law , little better than slaves even if they were technically free . `` Stars '' , however , could enjoy considerable wealth and celebrity , and mingled socially and often sexually with the upper classes , including emperors .", "57": "Performers supported each other by forming guilds , and several memorials for members of the theatre community survive . Theatre and dance were often condemned by Christian polemicists in the later Empire , and Christians who integrated dance traditions and music into their worship practices were regarded by the Church Fathers as shockingly `` pagan . '' St. Augustine is supposed to have said that bringing clowns , actors , and dancers into a house was like inviting in a gang of unclean spirits . Literacy , books , and education This article is incomplete . This is because the use of papyrus or parchment scrolls , which were very common before the invention of the codex , is missing . Please help to improve it , or discuss the issue on the talk page . ( April 2017 ) Main article : Education in ancient Rome Pride in literacy was displayed in portraiture through emblems of reading and writing , as in this example of a couple from Pompeii ( Portrait of Paquius Proculo ) Estimates of the average literacy rate in the Empire range from 5 to 30 % or higher , depending in part on the definition of `` literacy '' . The Roman obsession with documents and public inscriptions indicates the high value placed on the written word . The Imperial bureaucracy was so dependent on writing that the Babylonian Talmud declared `` if all seas were ink , all reeds were pen , all skies parchment , and all men scribes , they would be unable to set down the full scope of the Roman government 's concerns . '' Laws and edicts were posted in writing as well as read out . Illiterate Roman subjects would have someone such as a government scribe ( scriba ) read or write their official documents for them . Public art and religious ceremonies were ways to communicate imperial ideology regardless of ability to read . Although the Romans were not a `` People of the Book '' , they had an extensive priestly archive , and inscriptions appear throughout the Empire in connection with statues and small votives dedicated by ordinary people to divinities , as well as on binding tablets and other `` magic spells '' , with hundreds of examples collected in the Greek Magical Papyri . The military produced a vast amount of written reports and service records , and literacy in the army was `` strikingly high '' .", "58": "Urban graffiti , which include literary quotations , and low - quality inscriptions with misspellings and solecisms indicate casual literacy among non-elites . In addition , numeracy was necessary for any form of commerce . Slaves were numerate and literate in significant numbers , and some were highly educated . Books were expensive , since each copy had to be written out individually on a roll of papyrus ( volumen ) by scribes who had apprenticed to the trade . The codex -- a book with pages bound to a spine -- was still a novelty in the time of the poet Martial ( 1st century AD ) , but by the end of the 3rd century was replacing the volumen and was the regular form for books with Christian content . Commercial production of books had been established by the late Republic , and by the 1st century AD certain neighbourhoods of Rome were known for their bookshops ( tabernae librariae ) , which were found also in Western provincial cities such as Lugdunum ( present - day Lyon , France ) . The quality of editing varied wildly , and some ancient authors complain about error - ridden copies , as well as plagiarism or forgery , since there was no copyright law . A skilled slave copyist ( servus litteratus ) could be valued as highly as 100,000 sesterces . Reconstruction of a writing tablet : the stylus was used to inscribe letters into the wax surface for drafts , casual letterwriting , and schoolwork , while texts meant to be permanent were copied onto papyrus Collectors amassed personal libraries , such as that of the Villa of the Papyri in Herculaneum , and a fine library was part of the cultivated leisure ( otium ) associated with the villa lifestyle . Significant collections might attract `` in - house '' scholars ; Lucian mocked mercenary Greek intellectuals who attached themselves to philistine Roman patrons . An individual benefactor might endow a community with a library : Pliny the Younger gave the city of Comum a library valued at 1 million sesterces , along with another 100,000 to maintain it . Imperial libraries housed in state buildings were open to users as a privilege on a limited basis , and represented a literary canon from which disreputable writers could be excluded .", "59": "Books considered subversive might be publicly burned , and Domitian crucified copyists for reproducing works deemed treasonous . Literary texts were often shared aloud at meals or with reading groups . Scholars such as Pliny the Elder engaged in `` multitasking '' by having works read aloud to them while they dined , bathed or travelled , times during which they might also dictate drafts or notes to their secretaries . The multivolume Attic Nights of Aulus Gellius is an extended exploration of how Romans constructed their literary culture . The reading public expanded from the 1st through the 3rd century , and while those who read for pleasure remained a minority , they were no longer confined to a sophisticated ruling elite , reflecting the social fluidity of the Empire as a whole and giving rise to `` consumer literature '' meant for entertainment . Illustrated books , including erotica , were popular , but are poorly represented by extant fragments . Primary education A teacher with two students , as a third arrives with his loculus , a writing case that would contain pens , ink pot , and a sponge to correct errors Traditional Roman education was moral and practical . Stories about great men and women , or cautionary tales about individual failures , were meant to instil Roman values ( mores maiorum ) . Parents and family members were expected to act as role models , and parents who worked for a living passed their skills on to their children , who might also enter apprenticeships for more advanced training in crafts or trades . Formal education was available only to children from families who could pay for it , and the lack of state intervention in access to education contributed to the low rate of literacy . Young children were attended by a pedagogus , or less frequently a female pedagoga , usually a Greek slave or former slave . The pedagogue kept the child safe , taught self - discipline and public behaviour , attended class and helped with tutoring . The emperor Julian recalled his pedagogue Mardonius , a eunuch slave who reared him from the age of 7 to 15 , with affection and gratitude . Usually , however , pedagogues received little respect . Primary education in reading , writing , and arithmetic might take place at home for privileged children whose parents hired or bought a teacher .", "60": "Others attended a school that was `` public , '' though not state - supported , organized by an individual schoolmaster ( ludimagister ) who accepted fees from multiple parents . Vernae ( homeborn slave children ) might share in home - or public - schooling . Schools became more numerous during the Empire , and increased the opportunities for children to acquire an education . School could be held regularly in a rented space , or in any available public niche , even outdoors . Boys and girls received primary education generally from ages 7 to 12 , but classes were not segregated by grade or age . For the socially ambitious , bilingual education in Greek as well as Latin was a must . Quintilian provides the most extensive theory of primary education in Latin literature . According to Quintilian , each child has in - born ingenium , a talent for learning or linguistic intelligence that is ready to be cultivated and sharpened , as evidenced by the young child 's ability to memorize and imitate . The child incapable of learning was rare . To Quintilian , ingenium represented a potential best realized in the social setting of school , and he argued against homeschooling . He also recognized the importance of play in child development , and disapproved of corporal punishment because it discouraged love of learning -- in contrast to the practice in most Roman primary schools of routinely striking children with a cane ( ferula ) or birch rod for being slow or disruptive . Secondary education Mosaic from Pompeii depicting the Academy of Plato At the age of 14 , upperclass males made their rite of passage into adulthood , and began to learn leadership roles in political , religious , and military life through mentoring from a senior member of their family or a family friend . Higher education was provided by grammatici or rhetores . The grammaticus or `` grammarian '' taught mainly Greek and Latin literature , with history , geography , philosophy or mathematics treated as explications of the text . With the rise of Augustus , contemporary Latin authors such as Vergil and Livy also became part of the curriculum . The rhetor was a teacher of oratory or public speaking . The art of speaking ( ars dicendi ) was highly prized as a marker of social and intellectual superiority , and eloquentia ( `` speaking ability , eloquence '' ) was considered the `` glue '' of a civilized society .", "61": "Rhetoric was not so much a body of knowledge ( though it required a command of references to the literary canon ) as it was a mode of expression and decorum that distinguished those who held social power . The ancient model of rhetorical training -- `` restraint , coolness under pressure , modesty , and good humour '' -- endured into the 18th century as a Western educational ideal . In Latin , illiteratus ( Greek agrammatos ) could mean both `` unable to read and write '' and `` lacking in cultural awareness or sophistication . '' Higher education promoted career advancement , particularly for an equestrian in Imperial service : `` eloquence and learning were considered marks of a well - bred man and worthy of reward '' . The poet Horace , for instance , was given a top - notch education by his father , a prosperous former slave . Urban elites throughout the Empire shared a literary culture embued with Greek educational ideals ( paideia ) . Hellenistic cities sponsored schools of higher learning as an expression of cultural achievement . Young men from Rome who wished to pursue the highest levels of education often went abroad to study rhetoric and philosophy , mostly to one of several Greek schools in Athens . The curriculum in the East was more likely to include music and physical training along with literacy and numeracy . On the Hellenistic model , Vespasian endowed chairs of grammar , Latin and Greek rhetoric , and philosophy at Rome , and gave teachers special exemptions from taxes and legal penalties , though primary schoolmasters did not receive these benefits . Quintilian held the first chair of grammar . In the eastern empire , Berytus ( present - day Beirut ) was unusual in offering a Latin education , and became famous for its school of Roman law . The cultural movement known as the Second Sophistic ( 1st -- 3rd century AD ) promoted the assimilation of Greek and Roman social , educational , and aesthetic values , and the Greek proclivities for which Nero had been criticized were regarded from the time of Hadrian onward as integral to Imperial culture . Educated women Portrait of a literary woman from Pompeii ( ca . 50 AD ) Literate women ranged from cultured aristocrats to girls trained to be calligraphers and scribes .", "62": "The `` girlfriends '' addressed in Augustan love poetry , although fictional , represent an ideal that a desirable woman should be educated , well - versed in the arts , and independent to a frustrating degree . Education seems to have been standard for daughters of the senatorial and equestrian orders during the Empire . A highly educated wife was an asset for the socially ambitious household , but one that Martial regards as an unnecessary luxury . The woman who achieved the greatest prominence in the ancient world for her learning was Hypatia of Alexandria , who educated young men in mathematics , philosophy , and astronomy , and advised the Roman prefect of Egypt on politics . Her influence put her into conflict with the bishop of Alexandria , Cyril , who may have been implicated in her violent death in 415 at the hands of a Christian mob . Decline of literacy Literacy began to decline , perhaps dramatically , during the socio - political Crisis of the Third Century . Although the Church Fathers were well - educated , they regarded Classical literature as dangerous , if valuable , and reconstrued it through moralizing and allegorical readings . Julian , the only emperor after the conversion of Constantine to reject Christianity , banned Christians from teaching the Classical curriculum , on the grounds that they might corrupt the minds of youth . While the book roll had emphasized the continuity of the text , the codex format encouraged a `` piecemeal '' approach to reading by means of citation , fragmented interpretation , and the extraction of maxims . In the 5th and 6th centuries , reading became rarer even for those within the Church hierarchy . Literature Main article : Latin literature See also : Roman historiography , Church Fathers , and Latin poetry Statue in Constanța , Romania ( the ancient colony Tomis ) , commemorating Ovid 's exile In the traditional literary canon , literature under Augustus , along with that of the late Republic , has been viewed as the `` Golden Age '' of Latin literature , embodying the classical ideals of `` unity of the whole , the proportion of the parts , and the careful articulation of an apparently seamless composition . '' The three most influential Classical Latin poets -- Vergil , Horace , and Ovid -- belong to this period . Vergil wrote the Aeneid , creating a national epic for Rome in the manner of the Homeric epics of Greece .", "63": "Horace perfected the use of Greek lyric metres in Latin verse . Ovid 's erotic poetry was enormously popular , but ran afoul of the Augustan moral programme ; it was one of the ostensible causes for which the emperor exiled him to Tomis ( present - day Constanța , Romania ) , where he remained to the end of his life . Ovid 's Metamorphoses was a continuous poem of fifteen books weaving together Greco - Roman mythology from the creation of the universe to the deification of Julius Caesar . Ovid 's versions of Greek myths became one of the primary sources of later classical mythology , and his work was so influential in the Middle Ages that the 12th and 13th centuries have been called the `` Age of Ovid . '' The principal Latin prose author of the Augustan age is the historian Livy , whose account of Rome 's founding and early history became the most familiar version in modern - era literature . Vitruvius 's book De Architectura , the only complete work on architecture to survive from antiquity , also belongs to this period . Latin writers were immersed in the Greek literary tradition , and adapted its forms and much of its content , but Romans regarded satire as a genre in which they surpassed the Greeks . Horace wrote verse satires before fashioning himself as an Augustan court poet , and the early Principate also produced the satirists Persius and Juvenal . The poetry of Juvenal offers a lively curmudgeon 's perspective on urban society . The period from the mid-1st century through the mid-2nd century has conventionally been called the `` Silver Age '' of Latin literature . Under Nero , disillusioned writers reacted to Augustanism . The three leading writers -- Seneca the philosopher , dramatist , and tutor of Nero ; Lucan , his nephew , who turned Caesar 's civil war into an epic poem ; and the novelist Petronius ( Satyricon ) -- all committed suicide after incurring the emperor 's displeasure . Seneca and Lucan were from Hispania , as was the later epigrammatist and keen social observer Martial , who expressed his pride in his Celtiberian heritage . Martial and the epic poet Statius , whose poetry collection Silvae had a far - reaching influence on Renaissance literature , wrote during the reign of Domitian .", "64": "The so - called `` Silver Age '' produced several distinguished writers , including the encyclopedist Pliny the Elder ; his nephew , known as Pliny the Younger ; and the historian Tacitus . The Natural History of the elder Pliny , who died during disaster relief efforts in the wake of the eruption of Vesuvius , is a vast collection on flora and fauna , gems and minerals , climate , medicine , freaks of nature , works of art , and antiquarian lore . Tacitus 's reputation as a literary artist matches or exceeds his value as a historian ; his stylistic experimentation produced `` one of the most powerful of Latin prose styles . '' The Twelve Caesars by his contemporary Suetonius is one of the primary sources for imperial biography . Among Imperial historians who wrote in Greek are Dionysius of Halicarnassus , the Jewish historian Josephus , and the senator Cassius Dio . Other major Greek authors of the Empire include the biographer and antiquarian Plutarch , the geographer Strabo , and the rhetorician and satirist Lucian . Popular Greek romance novels were part of the development of long - form fiction works , represented in Latin by the Satyricon of Petronius and The Golden Ass of Apuleius . From the 2nd to the 4th centuries , the Christian authors who would become the Latin Church Fathers were in active dialogue with the Classical tradition , within which they had been educated . Tertullian , a convert to Christianity from Roman Africa , was the contemporary of Apuleius and one of the earliest prose authors to establish a distinctly Christian voice . After the conversion of Constantine , Latin literature is dominated by the Christian perspective . When the orator Symmachus argued for the preservation of Rome 's religious traditions , he was effectively opposed by Ambrose , the bishop of Milan and future saint -- a debate preserved by their missives . Brescia Casket , an ivory box with Biblical imagery ( late 4th century ) In the late 4th century , Jerome produced the Latin translation of the Bible that became authoritative as the Vulgate . Augustine , another of the Church Fathers from the province of Africa , has been called `` one of the most influential writers of western culture '' , and his Confessions is sometimes considered the first autobiography of Western literature .", "65": "In The City of God against the Pagans , Augustine builds a vision of an eternal , spiritual Rome , a new imperium sine fine that will outlast the collapsing Empire . In contrast to the unity of Classical Latin , the literary aesthetic of late antiquity has a tessellated quality that has been compared to the mosaics characteristic of the period . A continuing interest in the religious traditions of Rome prior to Christian dominion is found into the 5th century , with the Saturnalia of Macrobius and The Marriage of Philology and Mercury of Martianus Capella . Prominent Latin poets of late antiquity include Ausonius , Prudentius , Claudian , and Sidonius . Ausonius ( d . ca . 394 ) , the Bordelaise tutor of the emperor Gratian , was at least nominally a Christian , though throughout his occasionally obscene mixed - genre poems , he retains a literary interest in the Greco - Roman gods and even druidism . The imperial panegyrist Claudian ( d . 404 ) was a vir illustris who appears never to have converted . Prudentius ( d . ca . 413 ) , born in Hispania Tarraconensis and a fervent Christian , was thoroughly versed in the poets of the Classical tradition , and transforms their vision of poetry as a monument of immortality into an expression of the poet 's quest for eternal life culminating in Christian salvation . Sidonius ( d . 486 ) , a native of Lugdunum , was a Roman senator and bishop of Clermont who cultivated a traditional villa lifestyle as he watched the Western empire succumb to barbarian incursions . His poetry and collected letters offer a unique view of life in late Roman Gaul from the perspective of a man who `` survived the end of his world '' . Religion A Roman priest , his head ritually covered with a fold of his toga , extends a patera in a gesture of libation ( 2nd -- 3rd century ) Main articles : Religion in ancient Rome and Imperial cult ( ancient Rome ) See also : History of the Jews in the Roman Empire , Early Christianity , and Religious persecution in the Roman Empire The Roman siege and destruction of Jerusalem , from a Western religious manuscript , c.", "66": "1504 Religion in the Roman Empire encompassed the practices and beliefs the Romans regarded as their own , as well as the many cults imported to Rome or practised by peoples throughout the provinces . The Romans thought of themselves as highly religious , and attributed their success as a world power to their collective piety ( pietas ) in maintaining good relations with the gods ( pax deorum ) . The archaic religion believed to have been handed down from the earliest kings of Rome was the foundation of the mos maiorum , `` the way of the ancestors '' or `` tradition '' , viewed as central to Roman identity . There was no principle analogous to `` separation of church and state '' . The priesthoods of the state religion were filled from the same social pool of men who held public office , and in the Imperial era , the Pontifex Maximus was the emperor . Roman religion was practical and contractual , based on the principle of do ut des , `` I give that you might give . '' Religion depended on knowledge and the correct practice of prayer , ritual , and sacrifice , not on faith or dogma , although Latin literature preserves learned speculation on the nature of the divine and its relation to human affairs . For ordinary Romans , religion was a part of daily life . Each home had a household shrine at which prayers and libations to the family 's domestic deities were offered . Neighbourhood shrines and sacred places such as springs and groves dotted the city . Apuleius ( 2nd century ) described the everyday quality of religion in observing how people who passed a cult place might make a vow or a fruit offering , or merely sit for a while . The Roman calendar was structured around religious observances . In the Imperial era , as many as 135 days of the year were devoted to religious festivals and games ( ludi ) . Women , slaves , and children all participated in a range of religious activities . In the wake of the Republic 's collapse , state religion had adapted to support the new regime of the emperors . As the first Roman emperor , Augustus justified the novelty of one - man rule with a vast programme of religious revivalism and reform . Public vows formerly made for the security of the republic now were directed at the wellbeing of the emperor .", "67": "So - called `` emperor worship '' expanded on a grand scale the traditional Roman veneration of the ancestral dead and of the Genius , the divine tutelary of every individual . Upon death , an emperor could be made a state divinity ( divus ) by vote of the Senate . Imperial cult , influenced by Hellenistic ruler cult , became one of the major ways Rome advertised its presence in the provinces and cultivated shared cultural identity and loyalty throughout the Empire . Cultural precedent in the Eastern provinces facilitated a rapid dissemination of Imperial cult , extending as far as the Augustan military settlement at Najran , in present - day Saudi Arabia . Rejection of the state religion became tantamount to treason against the emperor . This was the context for Rome 's conflict with Christianity , which Romans variously regarded as a form of atheism and novel superstitio . Statuettes representing Roman and Gallic deities , for personal devotion at private shrines The Romans are known for the great number of deities they honoured , a capacity that earned the mockery of early Christian polemicists . As the Romans extended their dominance throughout the Mediterranean world , their policy in general was to absorb the deities and cults of other peoples rather than try to eradicate them . One way that Rome promoted stability among diverse peoples was by supporting their religious heritage , building temples to local deities that framed their theology within the hierarchy of Roman religion . Inscriptions throughout the Empire record the side - by - side worship of local and Roman deities , including dedications made by Romans to local gods . By the height of the Empire , numerous cults of pseudo-foreign gods ( Roman reinventions of foreign gods ) were cultivated at Rome and in the provinces , among them cults of Cybele , Isis , Epona , and of solar gods such as Mithras and Sol Invictus , found as far north as Roman Britain . Because Romans had never been obligated to cultivate one god or one cult only , religious tolerance was not an issue in the sense that it is for competing monotheistic systems . Mystery religions , which offered initiates salvation in the afterlife , were a matter of personal choice for an individual , practised in addition to carrying on one 's family rites and participating in public religion .", "68": "The mysteries , however , involved exclusive oaths and secrecy , conditions that conservative Romans viewed with suspicion as characteristic of `` magic '' , conspiracy ( coniuratio ) , and subversive activity . Sporadic and sometimes brutal attempts were made to suppress religionists who seemed to threaten traditional morality and unity . In Gaul , the power of the druids was checked , first by forbidding Roman citizens to belong to the order , and then by banning druidism altogether . At the same time , however , Celtic traditions were reinterpreted ( interpretatio romana ) within the context of Imperial theology , and a new Gallo - Roman religion coalesced , with its capital at the Sanctuary of the Three Gauls in Lugdunum ( present - day Lyon , France ) . The sanctuary established precedent for Western cult as a form of Roman - provincial identity . This funerary stele from the 3rd century is among the earliest Christian inscriptions , written in both Greek and Latin : the abbreviation D.M. at the top refers to the Di Manes , the traditional Roman spirits of the dead , but accompanies Christian fish symbolism . Relief from the Arch of Titus in Rome depicting a menorah and other spoils from the Temple of Jerusalem carried in Roman triumph . The monotheistic rigour of Judaism posed difficulties for Roman policy that led at times to compromise and the granting of special exemptions . Tertullian noted that the Jewish religion , unlike that of the Christians , was considered a religio licita , `` legitimate religion . '' Wars between the Romans and the Jews occurred when conflict , political as well as religious , became intractable . When Caligula wanted to place a golden statue of his deified self in the Temple in Jerusalem , the potential sacrilege and likely war were prevented only by his timely death . The Siege of Jerusalem in 70 AD led to the sacking of the temple and the dispersal of Jewish political power ( see Jewish diaspora ) . Christianity emerged in Roman Judea as a Jewish religious sect in the 1st century AD . The religion gradually spread out of Jerusalem , initially establishing major bases in first Antioch , then Alexandria , and over time throughout the Empire as well as beyond . Imperially authorized persecutions were limited and sporadic , with martyrdoms occurring most often under the authority of local officials .", "69": "The first persecution by an emperor occurred under Nero , and was confined to the city of Rome . Tacitus reports that after the Great Fire of Rome in AD 64 , some among the population held Nero responsible and that the emperor attempted to deflect blame onto the Christians . After Nero , a major persecution occurred under the emperor Domitian and a persecution in 177 took place at Lugdunum , the Gallo - Roman religious capital . A surviving letter from Pliny the Younger , governor of Bythinia , to the emperor Trajan describes his persecution and executions of Christians . The Decian persecution of 246 -- 251 was a serious threat to the Church , but ultimately strengthened Christian defiance . Diocletian undertook what was to be the most severe persecution of Christians , lasting from 303 to 311 . In the early 4th century , Constantine I became the first emperor to convert to Christianity . During the rest of the fourth century Christianity became the dominant religion of the Empire . The emperor Julian made a short - lived attempt to revive traditional and Hellenistic religion and to affirm the special status of Judaism , but in 380 ( Edict of Thessalonica ) , under Theodosius I Christianity became the official state church of the Roman Empire , to the exclusion of all others . From the 2nd century onward , the Church Fathers had begun to condemn the diverse religions practised throughout the Empire collectively as `` pagan . '' Pleas for religious tolerance from traditionalists such as the senator Symmachus ( d . 402 ) were rejected , and Christian monotheism became a feature of Imperial domination . Christian heretics as well as non-Christians were subject to exclusion from public life or persecution , but Rome 's original religious hierarchy and many aspects of its ritual influenced Christian forms , and many pre-Christian beliefs and practices survived in Christian festivals and local traditions . Political legacy Main article : Legacy of the Roman Empire Several states claimed to be the Roman Empire 's successors after the fall of the Western Roman Empire . The Holy Roman Empire , an attempt to resurrect the Empire in the West , was established in 800 when Pope Leo III crowned Frankish King Charlemagne as Roman Emperor on Christmas Day , though the empire and the imperial office did not become formalized for some decades .", "70": "After the fall of Constantinople , the Russian Tsardom , as inheritor of the Byzantine Empire 's Orthodox Christian tradition , counted itself the Third Rome ( Constantinople having been the second ) . These concepts are known as Translatio imperii . When the Ottomans , who based their state on the Byzantine model , took Constantinople in 1453 , Mehmed II established his capital there and claimed to sit on the throne of the Roman Empire . He even went so far as to launch an invasion of Italy with the purpose of re-uniting the Empire and invited European artists to his capital , including Gentile Bellini . In the medieval West , `` Roman '' came to mean the church and the Pope of Rome . The Greek form Romaioi remained attached to the Greek - speaking Christian population of the Eastern Roman Empire , and is still used by Greeks in addition to their common appellation . The Roman Empire 's territorial legacy of controlling the Italian peninsula would influence Italian nationalism and the unification of Italy ( Risorgimento ) in 1861 . The Virginia State Capitol ( left ) , built in the late 1700s , was modelled after the Maison Carrée , a Gallo - Roman temple built around 16 BC under Augustus In the United States , the founders were educated in the classical tradition , and used classical models for landmarks and buildings in Washington , D.C. , to avoid the feudal and religious connotations of European architecture such as castles and cathedrals . In forming their theory of the mixed constitution , the founders looked to Athenian democracy and Roman republicanism for models , but regarded the Roman emperor as a figure of tyranny . They nonetheless adopted Roman Imperial forms such as the dome , as represented by the US Capitol and numerous state capitol buildings , to express classical ideals through architecture . Thomas Jefferson saw the Empire as a negative political lesson , but was a chief proponent of its architectural models . Jefferson 's design for the Virginia State Capitol , for instance , is modelled directly from the Maison Carrée , a Gallo - Roman temple built under Augustus . The renovations of the National Mall at the beginning of the 20th century have been viewed as expressing a more overt imperialist kinship with Rome .", "71": "See also Ancient Rome portal Classical Civilisation portal Mediterranean portal Ancient Near East portal Daqin ( `` Great Qin '' ) , the ancient Chinese name for the Roman Empire ; see also Sino - Roman relations Fall of the Western Roman Empire Imperial Italy Italian Empire Notes Jump up ^ Other ways of referring to the `` Roman Empire '' among the Romans and Greeks themselves included Res publica Romana or Imperium Romanorum ( also in Greek : Βασιλεία τῶν Ῥωμαίων -- Basileía tôn Rhōmaíōn -- ( `` Dominion ( Literally ' kingdom ' but also interpreted as ' empire ' ) of the Romans '' ) ) and Romania . Res publica means Roman `` commonwealth '' and can refer to both the Republican and the Imperial eras . Imperium Romanum ( or Romanorum ) refers to the territorial extent of Roman authority . Populus Romanus ( `` the Roman people '' ) was / is often used to indicate the Roman state in matters involving other nations . The term Romania , initially a colloquial term for the empire 's territory as well as a collective name for its inhabitants , appears in Greek and Latin sources from the 4th century onward and was eventually carried over to the Eastern Roman Empire ( see R.L.

Please improve this article if you can . ( May 2011 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The IP Multimedia Subsystem or IP Multimedia Core Network Subsystem ( IMS ) is an architectural framework for delivering IP multimedia services . Historically , mobile phones have provided voice call services over a circuit - switched - style network , rather than strictly over an IP packet - switched network . Alternative methods of delivering voice ( VoIP ) or other multimedia services have become available on smartphones , but they have not become standardized across the industry . IMS is an architectural framework to provide such standardization . IMS was originally designed by the wireless standards body 3rd Generation Partnership Project ( 3GPP ) , as a part of the vision for evolving mobile networks beyond GSM . Its original formulation ( 3GPP Rel - 5 ) represented an approach to delivering `` Internet services '' over GPRS . This vision was later updated by 3GPP , 3GPP2 and ETSI TISPAN by requiring support of networks other than GPRS , such as Wireless LAN , CDMA2000 and fixed lines . To ease the integration with the Internet , IMS uses IETF protocols wherever possible , e.g. , SIP ( Session Initiation Protocol ) . According to the 3GPP , IMS is not intended to standardize applications , but rather to aid the access of multimedia and voice applications from wireless and wireline terminals , i.e. , to create a form of fixed - mobile convergence ( FMC ) . This is done by having a horizontal control layer that isolates the access network from the service layer . From a logical architecture perspective , services need not have their own control functions , as the control layer is a common horizontal layer .", "1": "However , in implementation this does not necessarily map into greater reduced cost and complexity . Alternative and overlapping technologies for access and provisioning of services across wired and wireless networks include combinations of Generic Access Network , soft switches and `` naked '' SIP . Since it is becoming increasingly easier to access content and contacts using mechanisms outside the control of traditional wireless / fixed operators , the interest of IMS is being challenged . Examples of global standards based on IMS are MMTel which is the basis for Voice over LTE ( VoLTE ) and Rich Communication Services ( RCS ) which is also known as joyn or Advanced Messaging .

IP , formed in 1999 . 3G. IP developed the initial IMS architecture , which was brought to the 3rd Generation Partnership Project ( 3GPP ) , as part of their standardization work for 3G mobile phone systems in UMTS networks . It first appeared in Release 5 ( evolution from 2G to 3G networks ) , when SIP - based multimedia was added . Support for the older GSM and GPRS networks was also provided . 3GPP2 ( a different organization from 3GPP ) based their CDMA2000 Multimedia Domain ( MMD ) on 3GPP IMS , adding support for CDMA2000 .", "2": "3GPP release 6 added interworking with WLAN , inter-operability between IMS using different IP - connectivity networks , routing group identities , multiple registration and forking , presence , speech recognition and speech - enabled services ( Push to talk ) . 3GPP release 7 added support for fixed networks by working together with TISPAN release R1. 1 , the function of AGCF ( access gateway control function ) and PES ( PSTN emulation service ) are introduced to the wire - line network for the sake of inheritance of services which can be provided in PSTN network . AGCF works as a bridge interconnecting the IMS networks and the Megaco / H. 248 networks . Megaco / H. 248 networks offers the possibility to connect terminals of the old legacy networks to the new generation of networks based on IP networks . AGCF acts a SIP User agent towards the IMS and performs the role of P - CSCF . SIP User Agent functionality is included in the AGCF , and not on the customer device but in the network itself . Also added voice call continuity between circuit switching and packet switching domain ( VCC ) , fixed broadband connection to the IMS , interworking with non-IMS networks , policy and charging control ( PCC ) , emergency sessions . 3GPP release 8 added support for LTE / SAE , multimedia session continuity , enhanced emergency sessions and IMS centralized services . 3GPP release 9 added support for IMS emergency calls over GPRS and EPS , enhancements to multimedia telephony , IMS media plane security , enhancements to services centralization and continuity . 3GPP release 10 added support for inter device transfer , enhancements to the single radio voice call continuity ( SRVCC ) , enhancements to IMS emergency sessions . 3GPP release 11 added USSD simulation service , network - provided location information for IMS , SMS submit and delivery without MSISDN in IMS , and overload control . Architecture ( edit ) 3GPP / TISPAN IMS architectural overview 3GPP / TISPAN IMS architectural overview -- HSS in IMS layer ( as by standard ) Each of the functions in the diagram is explained below . The IP multimedia core network subsystem is a collection of different functions , linked by standardized interfaces , which grouped form one IMS administrative network .", "3": "A function is not a node ( hardware box ) : An implementer is free to combine two functions in one node , or to split a single function into two or more nodes . Each node can also be present multiple times in a single network , for dimensioning , load balancing or organizational issues . Access network ( edit ) The user can connect to IMS in various ways , most of which use the standard IP . IMS terminals ( such as mobile phones , personal digital assistants ( PDAs ) and computers ) can register directly on IMS , even when they are roaming in another network or country ( the visited network ) . The only requirement is that they can use IP and run SIP user agents . Fixed access ( e.g. , Digital Subscriber Line ( DSL ) , cable modems , Ethernet ) , mobile access ( e.g. W - CDMA , CDMA2000 , GSM , GPRS ) and wireless access ( e.g. , WLAN , WiMAX ) are all supported . Other phone systems like plain old telephone service ( POTS -- the old analogue telephones ) , H. 323 and non IMS - compatible systems , are supported through gateways . Core network ( edit ) HSS -- Home subscriber server : The home subscriber server ( HSS ) , or user profile server function ( UPSF ) , is a master user database that supports the IMS network entities that actually handle calls . It contains the subscription - related information ( subscriber profiles ) , performs authentication and authorization of the user , and can provide information about the subscriber 's location and IP information . It is similar to the GSM home location register ( HLR ) and Authentication centre ( AuC ) . A subscriber location function ( SLF ) is needed to map user addresses when multiple HSSs are used . User identities : Various identities may be associated with IMS : IP multimedia private identity ( IMPI ) , IP multimedia public identity ( IMPU ) , globally routable user agent URI ( GRUU ) , wildcarded public user identity . Both IMPI and IMPU are not phone numbers or other series of digits , but uniform resource identifier ( URIs ) , that can be digits ( a Tel URI , such as tel : + 1 - 555 - 123 - 4567 ) or alphanumeric identifiers ( a SIP URI , such as sip : john.doe@example.com '' ) .", "4": "IP Multimedia Private Identity : The IP Multimedia Private Identity ( IMPI ) is a unique permanently allocated global identity assigned by the home network operator , it has the form of an Network Access Identifier ( NAI ) i.e. user.name@domain , and is used , for example , for Registration , Authorization , Administration , and Accounting purposes . Every IMS user shall have one IMPI . IP Multimedia Public Identity : The IP Multimedia Public Identity ( IMPU ) is used by any user for requesting communications to other users ( e.g. this might be included on a business card ) . Also known as Address of Record ( AOR ) . There can be multiple IMPU per IMPI . The IMPU can also be shared with another phone , so that both can be reached with the same identity ( for example , a single phone - number for an entire family ) . Globally Routable User Agent URI : Globally Routable User Agent URI ( GRUU ) is an identity that identifies a unique combination of IMPU and UE instance . There are two types of GRUU : Public - GRUU ( P - GRUU ) and Temporary GRUU ( T - GRUU ) . P - GRUU reveal the IMPU and are very long lived . T - GRUU do not reveal the IMPU and are valid until the contact is explicitly de-registered or the current registration expires Wildcarded Public User Identity : A wildcarded Public User Identity expresses a set of IMPU grouped together . The HSS subscriber database contains the IMPU , IMPI , IMSI , MSISDN , subscriber service profiles , service triggers , and other information . CSCF -- call session control function ( edit ) Several roles of SIP servers or proxies , collectively called Call Session Control Function ( CSCF ) , are used to process SIP signalling packets in the IMS . A Proxy - CSCF ( P - CSCF ) is a SIP proxy that is the first point of contact for the IMS terminal . It can be located either in the visited network ( in full IMS networks ) or in the home network ( when the visited network is not IMS compliant yet ) . Some networks may use a Session Border Controller ( SBC ) for this function . The P - CSCF is at its core a specialized SBC for the User -- network interface which not only protects the network , but also the IMS terminal .", "5": "The use of an additional SBC between the IMS terminal and the P - CSCF is unnecessary and infeasible due to the signaling being encrypted on this leg . The terminal discovers its P - CSCF with either DHCP , or it may be configured ( e.g. during initial provisioning or via a 3GPP IMS Management Object ( MO ) ) or in the ISIM or assigned in the PDP Context ( in General Packet Radio Service ( GPRS ) ) . It is assigned to an IMS terminal before registration , and does not change for the duration of the registration . It sits on the path of all signalling , and can inspect every signal ; the IMS terminal must ignore any other unencrypted signalling . It provides subscriber authentication and may establish an IPsec or TLS security association with the IMS terminal . This prevents spoofing attacks and replay attacks and protects the privacy of the subscriber . It inspects the signaling and ensures that the IMS terminals do not misbehave ( e.g. change normal signaling routes , do not obey home network 's routing policy ) . It can compress and decompress SIP messages using SigComp , which reduces the round - trip over slow radio links . It may include a Policy Decision Function ( PDF ) , which authorizes media plane resources e.g. , quality of service ( QoS ) over the media plane . It is used for policy control , bandwidth management , etc . The PDF can also be a separate function . It also generates charging records . An Interrogating - CSCF ( I - CSCF ) is another SIP function located at the edge of an administrative domain . Its IP address is published in the Domain Name System ( DNS ) of the domain ( using NAPTR and SRV type of DNS records ) , so that remote servers can find it , and use it as a forwarding point ( e.g. , registering ) for SIP packets to this domain . it queries the HSS to retrieve the address of the S - CSCF and assign it to a user performing SIP registration it also forwards SIP request or response to the S - CSCF Up to Release 6 it can also be used to hide the internal network from the outside world ( encrypting parts of the SIP message ) , in which case it 's called a Topology Hiding Inter-network Gateway ( THIG ) .", "6": "From Release 7 onwards this `` entry point '' function is removed from the I - CSCF and is now part of the Interconnection Border Control Function ( IBCF ) . The IBCF is used as gateway to external networks , and provides NAT and firewall functions ( pinholing ) . The IBCF is a session border controller specialized for the network - to - network interface ( NNI ) . A Serving - CSCF ( S - CSCF ) is the central node of the signalling plane . It is a SIP server , but performs session control too . It is always located in the home network . It uses Diameter Cx and Dx interfaces to the HSS to download user profiles and upload user - to - S - CSCF associations ( the user profile is only cached locally for processing reasons only and is not changed ) . All necessary subscriber profile information is loaded from the HSS . it handles SIP registrations , which allows it to bind the user location ( e.g. , the IP address of the terminal ) and the SIP address it sits on the path of all signaling messages of the locally registered users , and can inspect every message it decides to which application server ( s ) the SIP message will be forwarded , in order to provide their services it provides routing services , typically using Electronic Numbering ( ENUM ) lookups it enforces the policy of the network operator there can be multiple S - CSCFs in the network for load distribution and high availability reasons . It 's the HSS that assigns the S - CSCF to a user , when it 's queried by the I - CSCF . There are multiple options for this purpose , including a mandatory / optional capabilities to be matched between subscribers and S - CSCFs . Application servers ( edit ) See also : Next generation network services SIP Application servers ( AS ) host and execute services , and interface with the S - CSCF using SIP . An example of an application server that is being developed in 3GPP is the Voice call continuity Function ( VCC Server ) . Depending on the actual service , the AS can operate in SIP proxy mode , SIP UA ( user agent ) mode or SIP B2BUA mode . An AS can be located in the home network or in an external third - party network .", "7": "If located in the home network , it can query the HSS with the Diameter Sh or Si interfaces ( for a SIP - AS ) . SIP AS : Host and execute IMS specific services IP Multimedia Service Switching Function ( IM - SSF ) : Interfaces SIP to CAP to communicate with CAMEL Application Servers OSA service capability server ( OSA SCS ) : Interfaces SIP to the OSA framework ; Functional model ( edit ) The AS - ILCM ( Application Server - Incoming Leg Control Model ) and AS - OLCM ( Application Sever - Outgoing Leg Control Model ) store transaction state , and may optionally store session state depending on the specific service being executed . The AS - ILCM interfaces to the S - CSCF ( ILCM ) for an incoming leg and the AS - OLCM interfaces to the S - CSCF ( OLCM ) for an outgoing leg . Application Logic provides the service ( s ) and interacts between the AS - ILCM and AS - OLCM . Public service identity ( edit ) Public Service Identities ( PSI ) are identities that identify services , which are hosted by application servers . As user identities , PSI takes the form of either a SIP or Tel URI . PSIs are stored in the HSS either as a distinct PSI or as a wildcarded PSI : a distinct PSI contains the PSI that is used in routing a wildcarded PSI represents a collection of PSIs . Media servers ( edit ) The Media Resource Function ( MRF ) provides media related functions such as media manipulation ( e.g. voice stream mixing ) and playing of tones and announcements . Each MRF is further divided into a media resource function controller ( MRFC ) and a media resource function processor ( MRFP ) . The MRFC is a signalling plane node that interprets information coming from an AS and S - CSCF to control the MRFP The MRFP is a media plane node used to mix , source or process media streams . It can also manage access right to shared resources . The Media Resource Broker ( MRB ) is a functional entity that is responsible for both collection of appropriate published MRF information and supplying of appropriate MRF information to consuming entities such as the AS .", "8": "MRB can be used in two modes : Query mode : AS queries the MRB for media and sets up the call using the response of MRB In - Line Mode : AS sends a SIP INVITE to the MRB . The MRB sets up the call Breakout gateway ( edit ) A Breakout Gateway Control Function ( BGCF ) is a SIP proxy which processes requests for routing from an S - CSCF when the S - CSCF has determined that the session can not be routed using DNS or ENUM / DNS . It includes routing functionality based on telephone numbers . PSTN gateways ( edit ) A PSTN / CS gateway interfaces with PSTN circuit switched ( CS ) networks . For signalling , CS networks use ISDN User Part ( ISUP ) ( or BICC ) over Message Transfer Part ( MTP ) , while IMS uses SIP over IP . For media , CS networks use Pulse - code modulation ( PCM ) , while IMS uses Real - time Transport Protocol ( RTP ) . A signalling gateway ( SGW ) interfaces with the signalling plane of the CS . It transforms lower layer protocols as Stream Control Transmission Protocol ( SCTP , an IP protocol ) into Message Transfer Part ( MTP , an Signalling System 7 ( SS7 ) protocol ) , to pass ISDN User Part ( ISUP ) from the MGCF to the CS network . A media gateway controller function ( MGCF ) is a SIP endpoint that does call control protocol conversion between SIP and ISUP / BICC and interfaces with the SGW over SCTP . It also controls the resources in a Media Gateway ( MGW ) across an H. 248 interface . A media gateway ( MGW ) interfaces with the media plane of the CS network , by converting between RTP and PCM . It can also transcode when the codecs do n't match ( e.g. , IMS might use AMR , PSTN might use G. 711 ) . Media resources ( edit ) Media Resources are those components that operate on the media plane and are under the control of IMS core functions .", "9": "Specifically , Media Server ( MS ) and Media gateway ( MGW ) NGN interconnection ( edit ) There are two types of next - generation networking interconnection : Service - oriented interconnection ( SoIx ) : The physical and logical linking of NGN domains that allows carriers and service providers to offer services over NGN ( i.e. , IMS and PES ) platforms with control , signalling ( i.e. , session based ) , which provides defined levels of interoperability . For instance , this is the case of `` carrier grade '' voice and / or multimedia services over IP interconnection . `` Defined levels of interoperability '' are dependent upon the service or the QoS or the Security , etc . Connectivity - oriented interconnection ( CoIx ) : The physical and logical linking of carriers and service providers based on simple IP connectivity irrespective of the levels of interoperability . For example , an IP interconnection of this type is not aware of the specific end to end service and , as a consequence , service specific network performance , QoS and security requirements are not necessarily assured . This definition does not exclude that some services may provide a defined level of interoperability . However , only SoIx fully satisfies NGN interoperability requirements . An NGN interconnection mode can be direct or indirect . Direct interconnection refers to the interconnection between two network domains without any intermediate network domain . Indirect interconnection at one layer refers to the interconnection between two network domains with one or more intermediate network domain ( s ) acting as transit networks . The intermediate network domain ( s ) provide ( s ) transit functionality to the two other network domains . Different interconnection modes may be used for carrying service layer signalling and media traffic . Charging ( edit ) Offline charging is applied to users who pay for their services periodically ( e.g. , at the end of the month ) . Online charging , also known as credit - based charging , is used for prepaid services , or real - time credit control of postpaid services . Both may be applied to the same session . Charging function addresses are addresses distributed to each IMS entities and provide a common location for each entity to send charging information . charging data function ( CDF ) addresses are used for offline billing and Online Charging Function ( OCF ) for online billing .", "10": "Offline Charging : All the SIP network entities ( P - CSCF , I - CSCF , S - CSCF , BGCF , MRFC , MGCF , AS ) involved in the session use the Diameter Rf interface to send accounting information to a CDF located in the same domain . The CDF will collect all this information , and build a call detail record ( CDR ) , which is sent to the billing system ( BS ) of the domain . Each session carries an IMS Charging Identifier ( ICID ) as a unique identifier generated by the first IMS entity involved in a SIP transaction and used for the correlation with CDRs . Inter Operator Identifier ( IOI ) is a globally unique identifier shared between sending and receiving networks . Each domain has its own charging network . Billing systems in different domains will also exchange information , so that roaming charges can be applied . Online charging : The S - CSCF talks to a IMS gateway function ( IMS - GWF ) which looks like a regular SIP application server . The IMS - GWF can signal the S - CSCF to terminate the session when the user runs out of credits during a session . The AS and MRFC use the Diameter Ro interface towards an OCF . When immediate event charging ( IEC ) is used , a number of credit units is immediately deducted from the user 's account by the ECF and the MRFC or AS is then authorized to provide the service . The service is not authorized when not enough credit units are available . When event charging with unit reservation ( ECUR ) is used , the ECF ( event charging function ) first reserves a number of credit units in the user 's account and then authorizes the MRFC or the AS . After the service is over , the number of spent credit units is reported and deducted from the account ; the reserved credit units are then cleared . IMS - based PES architecture ( edit ) IMS - based PES ( PSTN Emulation System ) provides IP networks services to analog devices . IMS - based PES allows non-IMS devices to appear to IMS as normal SIP users . Analog terminal using standard analog interfaces can connect to IMS - based PES in two ways - Via A-MGW ( Access Media Gateway ) that is linked and controlled by AGCF . AGCF is placed within the Operators network and controls multiple A-MGW .", "11": "A-MGW and AGCF communicate using H. 248. 1 ( Megaco ) over the P1 reference point . POTS phone connect to A-MGW over the z interface . The signalling is converted to H. 248 in the A-MGW and passed to AGCF . AGCF interprets the H. 248 signal and other inputs from the A-MGW to format H. 248 messages into appropriate SIP messages . AGCF presents itself as P - CSCF to the S - CSCF and passes generated SIP messages to S - CSCF or to IP border via IBCF ( Interconnection Border Control Function ) . Service presented to S - CSCF in SIP messages trigger PES AS . AGCF has also certain service independent logic , for example on receipt of off - hook event from A-MGW , the AGCF requests the A-MGW to play dial tone . Via VGW ( VoIP - Gateway ) or SIP Gateway / Adapter on customer premises . POTS phones via VOIP Gateway connect to P - CSCF directly . Operators mostly use session border controllers between VoIP gateways and P - CSCFs for security and to hide network topology . VoIP gateway link to IMS using SIP over Gm reference point . The conversion from POTS service over the z interface to SIP occurs in the customer premises VoIP gateway . POTS signaling is converted to SIP and passed on to P - CSCF . VGW acts as SIP user agent and appears to P - CSCF as SIP terminal . Both A-MGW and VGW are unaware of the services . They only relay call control signalling to and from the PSTN terminal . Session control and handling is done by IMS components .

Application server URI - specifies the application server to be forwarded to when the trigger point matches . There are two types of iFCs : Shared - When provisioning , only a reference number ( the shared iFC number ) is assigned to the subscriber .

Non-shared - when provisioning , the entire XML description of the iFC is assigned to the subscriber . During registration , the entire XML description is sent to the CSCF .", "16": "Security aspects of early IMS and non-3gpp systems ( edit ) It is envisaged that security defined in TS 33.203 may not be available for a while especially because of the lack of USIM / ISIM interfaces and prevalence of devices that support IPv4 . For this situation , to provide some protection against the most significant threats , 3GPP defines some security mechanisms , which are informally known as `` early IMS security , '' in TR33. 978 . This mechanism relies on the authentication performed during the network attachment procedures , which binds between the user 's profile and its IP address . This mechanism is also weak because the signaling is not protected on the user -- network interface . CableLabs in PacketCable 2.0 , which adopted also the IMS architecture but has no USIM / ISIM capabilities in their terminals , published deltas to the 3GPP specifications where the Digest - MD5 is a valid authentication option . Later on , TISPAN also did a similar effort given their fixed networks scopes , although the procedures are different . To compensate for the lack of IPsec capabilities , TLS has been added as an option for securing the Gm interface . Later 3GPP Releases have included the Digest - MD5 method , towards a Common - IMS platform , yet in its own and again different approach . Although all 3 variants of Digest - MD5 authentication have the same functionality and are the same from the IMS terminal 's perspective , the implementations on the Cx interface between the S - CSCF and the HSS are different .

Penicillin antibiotics were among the first medications to be effective against many bacterial infections caused by staphylococci and streptococci . They are still widely used today , though many types of bacteria have developed resistance following extensive use . About 10 % of people report that they are allergic to penicillin ; however , up to 90 % of this group may not actually be allergic . Serious allergies only occur in about 0.03 % . All penicillins are β - lactam antibiotics . Penicillin was discovered in 1928 by Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming . People began using it to treat infections in 1942 . There are several enhanced penicillin families which are effective against additional bacteria ; these include the antistaphylococcal penicillins , aminopenicillins and the antipseudomonal penicillins . They are derived from Penicillium fungi .", "1": "Contents ( hide ) 1 Medical uses 1.1 Susceptibility 2 Side effects 3 Mechanism of action 4 Structure 5 History 5.1 Discovery 5.2 Medical application 5.3 Mass production 5.4 Structure determination and total synthesis 5.5 Developments from penicillin 6 Production 6.1 Biosynthesis 7 Members 7.1 Natural penicillins 7.2 β - lactamase - resistant 7.3 Aminopenicillins 7.4 Carboxypenicillins 7.5 Ureidopenicillins 7.6 β - lactamase inhibitors 8 See also 9 Notes 10 References 11 External links Medical uses ( edit ) The term `` penicillin '' is often used generically to refer to benzylpenicillin ( penicillin G , the original penicillin found in 1928 ) , procaine benzylpenicillin ( procaine penicillin ) , benzathine benzylpenicillin ( benzathine penicillin ) , and phenoxymethylpenicillin ( penicillin V ) . Procaine penicillin and benzathine penicillin have the same antibacterial activity as benzylpenicillin but act for a longer period of time . Phenoxymethylpenicillin is less active against gram - negative bacteria than benzylpenicillin . Benzylpenicillin , procaine penicillin and benzathine penicillin can be given by intravenous or intramuscular injections , but phenoxymethylpenicillin can be given by mouth because of its acidic stability . Susceptibility ( edit ) While the number of penicillin - resistant bacteria is increasing , penicillin can still be used to treat a wide range of infections caused by certain susceptible bacteria , including Streptococci , Staphylococci , Clostridium , and Listeria genera .", "2": "The following list illustrates minimum inhibitory concentration susceptibility data for a few medically significant bacteria : Listeria monocytogenes : from less than or equal to 0.06 μg / ml to 0.25 μg / ml Neisseria meningitidis : from less than or equal to 0.03 μg / ml to 0.5 μg / ml Staphylococcus aureus : from less than or equal to 0.015 μg / ml to more than 32 μg / ml Side effects ( edit ) Main article : Side effects of penicillin Common ( ≥ 1 % of people ) adverse drug reactions associated with use of the penicillins include diarrhoea , hypersensitivity , nausea , rash , neurotoxicity , urticaria , and superinfection ( including candidiasis ) . Infrequent adverse effects ( 0.1 -- 1 % of people ) include fever , vomiting , erythema , dermatitis , angioedema , seizures ( especially in people with epilepsy ) , and pseudomembranous colitis . Penicillin can also induce serum sickness or a serum sickness - like reaction in some individuals . Serum sickness is a type III hypersensitivity reaction that occurs one to three weeks after exposure to drugs including penicillin . It is not a true drug allergy , because allergies are type I hypersensitivity reactions , but repeated exposure to the offending agent can result in an anaphylactic reaction . Anaphylaxis will occur in approximately 0.01 % of patients . Pain and inflammation at the injection site is also common for parenterally administered benzathine benzylpenicillin , benzylpenicillin , and , to a lesser extent , procaine benzylpenicillin .

( January 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Main article : Beta - lactam antibiotic Bacteria that attempt to grow and divide in the presence of penicillin fail to do so , and instead end up shedding their cell walls .", "3": "Penicillin and other β - lactam antibiotics act by inhibiting penicillin - binding proteins , which normally catalyze cross-linking of bacterial cell walls . Bacteria constantly remodel their peptidoglycan cell walls , simultaneously building and breaking down portions of the cell wall as they grow and divide . β - Lactam antibiotics inhibit the formation of peptidoglycan cross-links in the bacterial cell wall ; this is achieved through binding of the four - membered β - lactam ring of penicillin to the enzyme DD - transpeptidase . As a consequence , DD - transpeptidase can not catalyze formation of these cross-links , and an imbalance between cell wall production and degradation develops , causing the cell to rapidly die . The enzymes that hydrolyze the peptidoglycan cross-links continue to function , even while those that form such cross-links do not . This weakens the cell wall of the bacterium , and osmotic pressure becomes increasingly uncompensated -- eventually causing cell death ( cytolysis ) . In addition , the build - up of peptidoglycan precursors triggers the activation of bacterial cell wall hydrolases and autolysins , which further digest the cell wall 's peptidoglycans . The small size of the penicillins increases their potency , by allowing them to penetrate the entire depth of the cell wall . This is in contrast to the glycopeptide antibiotics vancomycin and teicoplanin , which are both much larger than the penicillins . Gram - positive bacteria are called protoplasts when they lose their cell walls . Gram - negative bacteria do not lose their cell walls completely and are called spheroplasts after treatment with penicillin . Penicillin shows a synergistic effect with aminoglycosides , since the inhibition of peptidoglycan synthesis allows aminoglycosides to penetrate the bacterial cell wall more easily , allowing their disruption of bacterial protein synthesis within the cell . This results in a lowered MBC for susceptible organisms .", "4": "Penicillins , like other β - lactam antibiotics , block not only the division of bacteria , including cyanobacteria , but also the division of cyanelles , the photosynthetic organelles of the glaucophytes , and the division of chloroplasts of bryophytes . In contrast , they have no effect on the plastids of the highly developed vascular plants . This supports the endosymbiotic theory of the evolution of plastid division in land plants . The chemical structure of penicillin is triggered with a very precise , pH - dependent directed mechanism , effected by a unique spatial assembly of molecular components , which can activate by protonation . It can travel through bodily fluids , targeting and inactivating enzymes responsible for cell - wall synthesis in gram - positive bacteria , meanwhile avoiding the surrounding non-targets . Penicillin can protect itself from spontaneous hydrolysis in the body in its anionic form , while storing its potential as a strong acylating agent , activated only upon approach to the target transpeptidase enzyme and protonated in the active centre . This targeted protonation neutralizes the carboxylic acid moiety , which is weakening of the β - lactam ring N -- C ( = O ) bond , resulting in a self - activation . Specific structural requirements are equated to constructing the perfect mouse trap for catching targeted prey . Structure ( edit ) Chemical structure of Penicillin G . The sulfur and nitrogen of the five - membered thiazolidine ring are shown in yellow and blue respectively . The image shows that the thiazolidine ring and fused four - membered β - lactam are not in the same plane . The term `` penam '' is used to describe the common core skeleton of a member of the penicillins . This core has the molecular formula R-C H N O S , where R is the variable side chain that differentiates the penicillins from one another . The penam core has a molar mass of 243 g / mol , with larger penicillins having molar mass near 450 -- for example , cloxacillin has a molar mass of 436 g / mol .", "5": "The key structural feature of the penicillins is the four - membered β - lactam ring ; this structural moiety is essential for penicillin 's antibacterial activity . The β - lactam ring is itself fused to a five - membered thiazolidine ring . The fusion of these two rings causes the β - lactam ring to be more reactive than monocyclic β - lactams because the two fused rings distort the β - lactam amide bond and therefore remove the resonance stabilisation normally found in these chemical bonds . History ( edit ) Discovery ( edit ) Main article : History of penicillin Alexander Fleming , who is credited with discovering penicillin in 1928 . Sample of penicillium mould presented by Alexander Fleming to Douglas Macleod , 1935 Starting in the late 19th century there had been many accounts by scientists and physicians on the antibacterial properties of the different types of moulds including the mould penicillium but they were unable to discern what process was causing the effect . The effects of penicillium mould would finally be isolated in 1928 by Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming , in work that seems to have been independent of those earlier observations . Fleming recounted that the date of his discovery of penicillin was on the morning of Friday 28 September 1928 . The traditional version of this story describes the discovery as a serendipitous accident : in his laboratory in the basement of St Mary 's Hospital in London ( now part of Imperial College ) , Fleming noticed a Petri dish containing Staphylococcus that had been mistakenly left open was contaminated by blue - green mould from an open window , which formed a visible growth . There was a halo of inhibited bacterial growth around the mould . Fleming concluded that the mould released a substance that repressed the growth and caused lysing of the bacteria . Once Fleming made his discovery he grew a pure culture and discovered it was a Penicillium mould , now known as Penicillium chrysogenum . Fleming coined the term `` penicillin '' to describe the filtrate of a broth culture of the Penicillium mould . Fleming asked C.J. La Touche to help identify the mould , which he incorrectly identified as Penicillium rubrum ( later corrected by Charles Thom ) .", "6": "He expressed initial optimism that penicillin would be a useful disinfectant , because of its high potency and minimal toxicity in comparison to antiseptics of the day , and noted its laboratory value in the isolation of Bacillus influenzae ( now called Haemophilus influenzae ) . Fleming was a famously poor communicator and orator , which meant his findings were not initially given much attention . He was unable to convince a chemist to help him extract and stabilize the antibacterial compound found in the broth filtrate . Despite this , he remained interested in the potential use of penicillin and presented a paper entitled `` A Medium for the Isolation of Pfeiffer 's Bacillus '' to the Medical Research Club of London , which was met with little interest and even less enthusiasm by his peers . Had Fleming been more successful at making other scientists interested in his work , penicillin for medicinal use would possibly have been developed years earlier . Despite the lack of interest of his fellow scientists , he did conduct several experiments on the antibiotic substance he discovered . The most important result proved it was nontoxic in humans by first performing toxicity tests in animals and then on humans . His following experiments on penicillin 's response to heat and pH allowed Fleming to increase the stability of the compound . The one test that modern scientists would find missing from his work was the test of penicillin on an infected animal , the results of which would likely have sparked great interest in penicillin and sped its development by almost a decade . Medical application ( edit ) Florey ( pictured ) , Fleming and Chain shared a Nobel Prize in 1945 for their work on penicillin . In 1930 , Cecil George Paine , a pathologist at the Royal Infirmary in Sheffield , attempted to use penicillin to treat sycosis barbae , eruptions in beard follicles , but was unsuccessful . Moving on to ophthalmia neonatorum , a gonococcal infection in infants , he achieved the first recorded cure with penicillin , on November 25 , 1930 . He then cured four additional patients ( one adult and three infants ) of eye infections , and failed to cure a fifth .", "7": "In 1939 , Australian scientist Howard Florey ( later Baron Florey ) and a team of researchers ( Ernst Boris Chain , Edward Abraham , Arthur Duncan Gardner , Norman Heatley , M. Jennings , J. Orr - Ewing and G. Sanders ) at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology , University of Oxford made progress in showing the in vivo bactericidal action of penicillin . In 1940 , they showed that penicillin effectively cured bacterial infection in mice . In 1941 , they treated a policeman , Albert Alexander , with a severe face infection ; his condition improved , but then supplies of penicillin ran out and he died . Subsequently , several other patients were treated successfully . In December 1942 , survivors of the Cocoanut Grove fire in Boston were the first burn patients to be successfully treated with penicillin . Mass production ( edit ) A technician preparing penicillin in 1943 By late 1940 , the Oxford team under Howard Florey had devised a method of mass - producing the drug , but yields remained low . In 1941 , Florey and Heatley travelled to the US in order to interest pharmaceutical companies in producing the drug and inform them about their process . Florey and Chain shared the 1945 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Fleming for their work . The challenge of mass - producing this drug was daunting . On March 14 , 1942 , the first patient was treated for streptococcal septicemia with US - made penicillin produced by Merck & Co . Half of the total supply produced at the time was used on that one patient . By June 1942 , just enough US penicillin was available to treat ten patients . In July 1943 , the War Production Board drew up a plan for the mass distribution of penicillin stocks to Allied troops fighting in Europe . The results of fermentation research on corn steep liquor at the Northern Regional Research Laboratory at Peoria , Illinois , allowed the United States to produce 2.3 million doses in time for the invasion of Normandy in the spring of 1944 . After a worldwide search in 1943 , a mouldy cantaloupe in a Peoria , Illinois market was found to contain the best strain of mould for production using the corn steep liquor process .", "8": "Pfizer scientist Jasper H. Kane suggested using a deep - tank fermentation method for producing large quantities of pharmaceutical - grade penicillin . Large - scale production resulted from the development of a deep - tank fermentation plant by chemical engineer Margaret Hutchinson Rousseau . As a direct result of the war and the War Production Board , by June 1945 , over 646 billion units per year were being produced . Penicillin was being mass - produced in 1944 . G. Raymond Rettew made a significant contribution to the American war effort by his techniques to produce commercial quantities of penicillin . During World War II , penicillin made a major difference in the number of deaths and amputations caused by infected wounds among Allied forces , saving an estimated 12 % -- 15 % of lives . Availability was severely limited , however , by the difficulty of manufacturing large quantities of penicillin and by the rapid renal clearance of the drug , necessitating frequent dosing . Methods for mass production of penicillin were patented by Andrew Jackson Moyer in 1945 . Florey had not patented penicillin , having been advised by Sir Henry Dale that doing so would be unethical . Penicillin is actively excreted , and about 80 % of a penicillin dose is cleared from the body within three to four hours of administration . Indeed , during the early penicillin era , the drug was so scarce and so highly valued that it became common to collect the urine from patients being treated , so that the penicillin in the urine could be isolated and reused . This was not a satisfactory solution , so researchers looked for a way to slow penicillin excretion . They hoped to find a molecule that could compete with penicillin for the organic acid transporter responsible for excretion , such that the transporter would preferentially excrete the competing molecule and the penicillin would be retained . The uricosuric agent probenecid proved to be suitable . When probenecid and penicillin are administered together , probenecid competitively inhibits the excretion of penicillin , increasing penicillin 's concentration and prolonging its activity . Eventually , the advent of mass - production techniques and semi-synthetic penicillins resolved the supply issues , so this use of probenecid declined .", "9": "Probenecid is still useful , however , for certain infections requiring particularly high concentrations of penicillins . After World War II , Australia was the first country to make the drug available for civilian use . In the U.S. , penicillin was made available to the general public on March 15 , 1945 . Dorothy Hodgkin determined the chemical structure of penicillin . Structure determination and Total synthesis ( edit ) Dorothy Hodgkin 's model of penicillin 's structure . The chemical structure of penicillin was first proposed by Edward Abraham in 1942 and was later confirmed in 1945 using X-ray crystallography by Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin , who was also working at Oxford . She later received the Nobel prize for this and other structure determinations . Chemist John C. Sheehan at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ) completed the first chemical synthesis of penicillin in 1957 . Sheehan had started his studies into penicillin synthesis in 1948 , and during these investigations developed new methods for the synthesis of peptides , as well as new protecting groups -- groups that mask the reactivity of certain functional groups . Although the initial synthesis developed by Sheehan was not appropriate for mass production of penicillins , one of the intermediate compounds in Sheehan 's synthesis was 6 - aminopenicillanic acid ( 6 - APA ) , the nucleus of penicillin . Attaching different groups to the 6 - APA ' nucleus ' of penicillin allowed the creation of new forms of penicillin . Developments from penicillin ( edit ) The narrow range of treatable diseases or `` spectrum of activity '' of the penicillins , along with the poor activity of the orally active phenoxymethylpenicillin , led to the search for derivatives of penicillin that could treat a wider range of infections . The isolation of 6 - APA , the nucleus of penicillin , allowed for the preparation of semisynthetic penicillins , with various improvements over benzylpenicillin ( bioavailability , spectrum , stability , tolerance ) . The first major development was ampicillin in 1961 . It offered a broader spectrum of activity than either of the original penicillins .", "10": "Further development yielded β - lactamase - resistant penicillins , including flucloxacillin , dicloxacillin , and methicillin . These were significant for their activity against β - lactamase - producing bacterial species , but were ineffective against the methicillin - resistant Staphylococcus aureus ( MRSA ) strains that subsequently emerged . Another development of the line of true penicillins was the antipseudomonal penicillins , such as carbenicillin , ticarcillin , and piperacillin , useful for their activity against Gram - negative bacteria . However , the usefulness of the β - lactam ring was such that related antibiotics , including the mecillinams , the carbapenems and , most important , the cephalosporins , still retain it at the center of their structures . Production ( edit ) A 1957 fermentor ( bioreactor ) used to grow Penicillium mould . Penicillin is a secondary metabolite of certain species of Penicillium and is produced when growth of the fungus is inhibited by stress . It is not produced during active growth . Production is also limited by feedback in the synthesis pathway of penicillin . α - ketoglutarate + AcCoA → homocitrate → L - α - aminoadipic acid → L - lysine + β - lactam The by - product , l - lysine , inhibits the production of homocitrate , so the presence of exogenous lysine should be avoided in penicillin production . The Penicillium cells are grown using a technique called fed - batch culture , in which the cells are constantly subject to stress , which is required for induction of penicillin production . The available carbon sources are also important : Glucose inhibits penicillin production , whereas lactose does not . The pH and the levels of nitrogen , lysine , phosphate , and oxygen of the batches must also be carefully controlled . The biotechnological method of directed evolution has been applied to produce by mutation a large number of Penicillium strains . These techniques include error - prone PCR , DNA shuffling , ITCHY , and strand - overlap PCR . Semisynthetic penicillins are prepared starting from the penicillin nucleus 6 - APA .", "11": "Biosynthesis ( edit ) Penicillin G biosynthesis Overall , there are three main and important steps to the biosynthesis of penicillin G ( benzylpenicillin ) . The first step is the condensation of three amino acids -- L - α - aminoadipic acid , L - cysteine , L - valine into a tripeptide . Before condensing into the tripeptide , the amino acid L - valine must undergo epimerization to become D - valine . The condensed tripeptide is named δ - ( L - α - aminoadipyl ) - L - cysteine - D - valine ( ACV ) . The condensation reaction and epimerization are both catalyzed by the enzyme δ - ( L - α - aminoadipyl ) - L - cysteine - D - valine synthetase ( ACVS ) , a nonribosomal peptide synthetase or NRPS . The second step in the biosynthesis of penicillin G is the oxidative conversion of linear ACV into the bicyclic intermediate isopenicillin N by isopenicillin N synthase ( IPNS ) , which is encoded by the gene pcbC . Isopenicillin N is a very weak intermediate , because it does not show strong antibiotic activity . The final step is a transamidation by isopenicillin N N - acyltransferase , in which the α - aminoadipyl side - chain of isopenicillin N is removed and exchanged for a phenylacetyl side - chain . This reaction is encoded by the gene penDE , which is unique in the process of obtaining penicillins . Members ( edit ) Names Method of administration Notes Penicillin G , benzylpenicillin IV or IM It has high urinary excretion and is produced as a salt of potassium or sodium . Penicillin V , phenoxymethylpenicillin By mouth It is less active than benzylpenicillin against Gram - negative bacteria . Benzathine benzylpenicillin , benzathine penicillin G IM Benzathine is a stabilizer that causes slower release over two to four weeks .", "12": "Procaine benzylpenicillin , penicillin G procaine IM Slow release .

The Ming , described by Edwin O. Reischauer , John K. Fairbank and Albert M. Craig as `` one of the greatest eras of orderly government and social stability in human history '' , was the last imperial dynasty in China ruled by ethnic Han Chinese . Although the primary capital of Beijing fell in 1644 to a rebellion led by Li Zicheng ( who established the Shun dynasty , soon replaced by the Manchu - led Qing dynasty ) , regimes loyal to the Ming throne -- collectively called the Southern Ming -- survived until 1683 .", "4": "The Hongwu Emperor ( ruled 1368 -- 98 ) attempted to create a society of self - sufficient rural communities ordered in a rigid , immobile system that would guarantee and support a permanent class of soldiers for his dynasty : the empire 's standing army exceeded one million troops and the navy 's dockyards in Nanjing were the largest in the world . He also took great care breaking the power of the court eunuchs and unrelated magnates , enfeoffing his many sons throughout China and attempting to guide these princes through the Huang Ming Zu Xun , a set of published dynastic instructions . This failed spectacularly when his teenage successor , the Jianwen Emperor , attempted to curtail his uncles ' power , prompting the Jingnan Campaign , an uprising that placed the Prince of Yan upon the throne as the Yongle Emperor in 1402 . The Yongle Emperor established Yan as a secondary capital and renamed it Beijing , constructed the Forbidden City , and restored the Grand Canal and the primacy of the imperial examinations in official appointments . He rewarded his eunuch supporters and employed them as a counterweight against the Confucian scholar - bureaucrats . One , Zheng He , led seven enormous voyages of exploration into the Indian Ocean as far as Arabia and the eastern coasts of Africa . The rise of new emperors and new factions diminished such extravagances ; the capture of the Zhengtong Emperor during the 1449 Tumu Crisis ended them completely . The imperial navy was allowed to fall into disrepair while forced labor constructed the Liaodong palisade and connected and fortified the Great Wall of China into its modern form . Wide - ranging censuses of the entire empire were conducted decennially , but the desire to avoid labor and taxes and the difficulty of storing and reviewing the enormous archives at Nanjing hampered accurate figures . Estimates for the late - Ming population vary from 160 to 200 million , but necessary revenues were squeezed out of smaller and smaller numbers of farmers as more disappeared from the official records or `` donated '' their lands to tax - exempt eunuchs or temples . Haijin laws intended to protect the coasts from `` Japanese '' pirates instead turned many into smugglers and pirates themselves .", "5": "By the 16th century , however , the expansion of European trade -- albeit restricted to islands near Guangzhou like Macau -- spread the Columbian Exchange of crops , plants , and animals into China , introducing chili peppers to Sichuan cuisine and highly productive corn and potatoes , which diminished famines and spurred population growth . The growth of Portuguese , Spanish , and Dutch trade created new demand for Chinese products and produced a massive influx of Japanese and American silver . This abundance of specie remonetized the Ming economy , whose paper money had suffered repeated hyperinflation and was no longer trusted . While traditional Confucians opposed such a prominent role for commerce and the newly rich it created , the heterodoxy introduced by Wang Yangming permitted a more accommodating attitude . Zhang Juzheng 's initially successful reforms proved devastating when a slowdown in agriculture produced by the Little Ice Age joined changes in Japanese and Spanish policy that quickly cut off the supply of silver now necessary for farmers to be able to pay their taxes . Combined with crop failure , floods , and epidemic , the dynasty collapsed before the rebel leader Li Zicheng , who was defeated by the Manchu - led Eight Banner armies who founded the Qing dynasty .

Explanations for the demise of the Yuan include institutionalized ethnic discrimination against Han Chinese that stirred resentment and rebellion , overtaxation of areas hard - hit by inflation , and massive flooding of the Yellow River as a result of the abandonment of irrigation projects . Consequently , agriculture and the economy were in shambles , and rebellion broke out among the hundreds of thousands of peasants called upon to work on repairing the dykes of the Yellow River . A number of Han Chinese groups revolted , including the Red Turbans in 1351 . The Red Turbans were affiliated with the White Lotus , a Buddhist secret society . Zhu Yuanzhang was a penniless peasant and Buddhist monk who joined the Red Turbans in 1352 ; he soon gained a reputation after marrying the foster daughter of a rebel commander . In 1356 , Zhu 's rebel force captured the city of Nanjing , which he would later establish as the capital of the Ming dynasty . With the Yuan dynasty crumbling , competing rebel groups began fighting for control of the country and thus the right to establish a new dynasty .", "7": "In 1363 , Zhu Yuanzhang eliminated his archrival and leader of the rebel Han faction , Chen Youliang , in the Battle of Lake Poyang , arguably the largest naval battle in history . Known for its ambitious use of fire ships , Zhu 's force of 200,000 Ming sailors were able to defeat a Han rebel force over triple their size , claimed to be 650,000 - strong . The victory destroyed the last opposing rebel faction , leaving Zhu Yuanzhang in uncontested control of the bountiful Yangtze River Valley and cementing his power in the south . After the dynastic head of the Red Turbans suspiciously died in 1367 while a guest of Zhu , there was no one left who was remotely capable of contesting his march to the throne , and he made his imperial ambitions known by sending an army toward the Yuan capital Dadu ( present - day Beijing ) in 1368 . The last Yuan emperor fled north to the upper capital Shangdu , and Zhu declared the founding of the Ming dynasty after razing the Yuan palaces in Dadu to the ground ; the city was renamed Beiping in the same year . Zhu Yuanzhang took Hongwu , or `` Vastly Martial '' , as his era name . Reign of the Hongwu Emperor Portrait of the Hongwu Emperor ( ruled in 1368 -- 98 ) Hongwu made an immediate effort to rebuild state infrastructure . He built a 48 km ( 30 mi ) long wall around Nanjing , as well as new palaces and government halls . The History of Ming states that as early as 1364 Zhu Yuanzhang had begun drafting a new Confucian law code , the Da Ming Lü , which was completed by 1397 and repeated certain clauses found in the old Tang Code of 653 . Hongwu organized a military system known as the weisuo , which was similar to the fubing system of the Tang dynasty ( 618 -- 907 ) . In 1380 Hongwu had the Chancellor Hu Weiyong executed upon suspicion of a conspiracy plot to overthrow him ; after that Hongwu abolished the Chancellery and assumed this role as chief executive and emperor , a precedent mostly followed throughout the Ming period .", "8": "With a growing suspicion of his ministers and subjects , Hongwu established the Jinyiwei , a network of secret police drawn from his own palace guard . Some 100,000 people were executed in a series of purges during his rule . The Hongwu emperor issued many edicts forbidding Mongol practices and proclaiming his intention to purify China of barbarian influence . However , he also sought to use the Yuan legacy to legitimize his authority in China and other areas ruled by the Yuan . He adopted many Yuan military practices , recruited Mongol soldiers , and continued to request Korean concubines and eunuchs . South - Western frontier Main article : Ming conquest of Yunnan In Qinghai , the Salar Muslims voluntarily came under Ming rule , their clan leaders capitulating around 1370 . Uyghur troops under Uyghur general Hala Bashi suppressed the Miao Rebellions of the 1370s and settled in Changde , Hunan . Hui Muslim troops also settled in Changde , Hunan after serving the Ming in campaigns against other aboriginal tribes . In 1381 , the Ming dynasty annexed the areas of the southwest that had once been part of the Kingdom of Dali following the successful effort by Hui Muslim Ming armies to defeat Yuan - loyalist Mongol and Hui Muslim troops holding out in Yunnan province . The Hui troops under General Mu Ying , who was appointed Governor of Yunnan , were resettled in the region as part of a colonization effort . By the end of the 14th century , some 200,000 military colonists settled some 2,000,000 mu ( 350,000 acres ) of land in what is now Yunnan and Guizhou . Roughly half a million more Chinese settlers came in later periods ; these migrations caused a major shift in the ethnic make - up of the region , since formerly more than half of the population were non-Han peoples . Resentment over such massive changes in population and the resulting government presence and policies sparked more Miao and Yao revolts in 1464 to 1466 , which were crushed by an army of 30,000 Ming troops ( including 1,000 Mongols ) joining the 160,000 local Guangxi ( see Miao Rebellions ( Ming dynasty ) ) .", "9": "After the scholar and philosopher Wang Yangming ( 1472 -- 1529 ) suppressed another rebellion in the region , he advocated single , unitary administration of Chinese and indigenous ethnic groups in order to bring about sinification of the local peoples . Campaign in the north - East Main article : Manchuria under Ming rule The Great Wall of China : Although the rammed earth walls of the ancient Warring States were combined into a unified wall under the Qin and Han dynasties , the vast majority of the brick and stone Great Wall seen today is a product of the Ming dynasty . After the overthrow of the Mongol Yuan dynasty by the Ming dynasty in 1368 , Manchuria remained under control of the Mongols of the Northern Yuan dynasty based in Mongolia . Naghachu , a former Yuan official and a Uriankhai general of the Northern Yuan dynasty , won hegemony over the Mongol tribes in Manchuria ( Liaoyang province of the former Yuan dynasty ) . He grew strong in the northeast , with forces large enough ( numbering hundreds of thousands ) to threaten invasion of the newly founded Ming dynasty in order to restore the Mongols to power in China . The Ming decided to defeat him instead of waiting for the Mongols to attack . In 1387 the Ming sent a military campaign to attack Naghachu , which concluded with the surrender of Naghachu and Ming conquest of Manchuria . The early Ming court could not , and did not , aspire to the control imposed upon the Jurchens in Manchuria by the Mongols , yet it created a norm of organization that would ultimately serve as the principal vehicle for the relations with peoples along the northeast frontiers . By the end of the Hongwu reign , the essentials of a policy toward the Jurchens had taken shape . Most of the inhabitants of Manchuria , except for the wild Jurchens , were at peace with China . The Ming had created many guards ( 衛 , wei ) in Manchuria , but the creation of a guard did not necessarily imply political control . In 1409 , the Ming dynasty under Yongle Emperor established the Nurgan Regional Military Commission on the banks of the Amur River , and Yishiha , a eunuch of Haixi Jurchen derivation , was ordered to lead an expedition to the mouth of the Amur to pacify the Wild Jurchens .", "10": "After the death of Yongle Emperor , the Nurgan Regional Military Commission was abolished in 1435 , and the Ming court ceased to have substantial activities there , although the guards continued to exist in Manchuria . By the late Ming period , Ming political presence in Manchuria had waned considerably . Relations with Tibet Main article : Sino - Tibetan relations during the Ming dynasty A 17th - century Tibetan thangka of Guhyasamaja Akshobhyavajra ; the Ming dynasty court gathered various tribute items that were native products of Tibet ( such as thangkas ) , and in return granted gifts to Tibetan tribute - bearers . The Mingshi -- the official history of the Ming dynasty compiled by the Qing dynasty in 1739 -- states that the Ming established itinerant commanderies overseeing Tibetan administration while also renewing titles of ex-Yuan dynasty officials from Tibet and conferring new princely titles on leaders of Tibetan Buddhist sects . However , Turrell V. Wylie states that censorship in the Mingshi in favor of bolstering the Ming emperor 's prestige and reputation at all costs obfuscates the nuanced history of Sino - Tibetan relations during the Ming era . Modern scholars debate whether the Ming dynasty had sovereignty over Tibet . Some believe it was a relationship of loose suzerainty that was largely cut off when the Jiajing Emperor ( r . 1521 -- 67 ) persecuted Buddhism in favor of Daoism at court . Others argue that the significant religious nature of the relationship with Tibetan lamas is underrepresented in modern scholarship . Others note the Ming need for Central Asian horses and the need to maintain the tea - horse trade . The Ming sporadically sent armed forays into Tibet during the 14th century , which the Tibetans successfully resisted . Several scholars point out that unlike the preceding Mongols , the Ming dynasty did not garrison permanent troops in Tibet . The Wanli Emperor ( r . 1572 -- 1620 ) attempted to reestablish Sino - Tibetan relations in the wake of a Mongol - Tibetan alliance initiated in 1578 , an alliance which affected the foreign policy of the subsequent Manchu Qing dynasty ( 1644 -- 1912 ) in their support for the Dalai Lama of the Yellow Hat sect .", "11": "By the late 16th century , the Mongols proved to be successful armed protectors of the Yellow Hat Dalai Lama after their increasing presence in the Amdo region , culminating in the conquest of Tibet by Güshi Khan ( 1582 -- 1655 ) in 1642 , establishing the Khoshut Khanate . Reign of the Yongle Emperor Main article : Yongle Emperor Rise to power Portrait of the Yongle Emperor ( ruled in 1402 -- 24 ) The Hongwu Emperor specified his grandson Zhu Yunwen as his successor , and he assumed the throne as the Jianwen Emperor ( 1398 -- 1402 ) after Hongwu 's death in 1398 . The most powerful of Hongwu 's sons , Zhu Di , then the militarily mighty disagreed with this , and soon a political showdown erupted between him and his nephew Jianwen . After Jianwen arrested many of Zhu Di 's associates , Zhu Di plotted a rebellion that sparked a three - year civil war . Under the pretext of rescuing the young Jianwen from corrupting officials , Zhu Di personally led forces in the revolt ; the palace in Nanjing was burned to the ground , along with Jianwen himself , his wife , mother , and courtiers . Zhu Di assumed the throne as the Yongle Emperor ( 1402 -- 1424 ) ; his reign is universally viewed by scholars as a `` second founding '' of the Ming dynasty since he reversed many of his father 's policies . New capital and foreign engagement Yongle demoted Nanjing to a secondary capital and in 1403 announced the new capital of China was to be at his power base in Beijing . Construction of a new city there lasted from 1407 to 1420 , employing hundreds of thousands of workers daily . At the center was the political node of the Imperial City , and at the center of this was the Forbidden City , the palatial residence of the emperor and his family . By 1553 , the Outer City was added to the south , which brought the overall size of Beijing to 4 by 41⁄2 miles . The Ming Tombs located 50 km ( 31 mi ) north of Beijing ; the site was chosen by Yongle .", "12": "Beginning in 1405 , the Yongle Emperor entrusted his favored eunuch commander Zheng He ( 1371 -- 1433 ) as the admiral for a gigantic new fleet of ships designated for international tributary missions . The Chinese had sent diplomatic missions over land since the Han dynasty ( 202 BCE -- 220 CE ) and engaged in private overseas trade , but these missions were unprecedented in grandeur and scale . To service seven different tributary voyages , the Nanjing shipyards constructed two thousand vessels from 1403 to 1419 , including treasure ships measuring 112 m ( 370 ft ) to 134 m ( 440 ft ) in length and 45 m ( 150 ft ) to 54 m ( 180 ft ) in width . Yongle used woodblock printing to spread Chinese culture . He also used the military to expand China 's borders . This included the brief occupation of Vietnam , from the initial invasion in 1406 until the Ming withdrawal in 1427 as a result of protracted guerrilla warfare led by Lê Lợi , the founder of the Vietnamese Lê dynasty . Tumu Crisis and the Ming Mongols Main articles : Tumu Crisis and Rebellion of Cao Qin A Bengali envoy presenting a giraffe as a tributary gift in the name of King Saif Al - Din Hamzah Shah of Bengal ( r . 1410 -- 12 ) to the Yongle Emperor of Ming China ( r . 1402 -- 24 ) . The Oirat leader Esen Tayisi launched an invasion into Ming China in July 1449 . The chief eunuch Wang Zhen encouraged the Zhengtong Emperor ( r . 1435 -- 49 ) to lead a force personally to face the Oirats after a recent Ming defeat ; the emperor left the capital and put his half - brother Zhu Qiyu in charge of affairs as temporary regent . On 8 September , Esen routed Zhengtong 's army , and Zhengtong was captured -- an event known as the Tumu Crisis . The Oirats held the Zhengtong Emperor for ransom . However , this scheme was foiled once the emperor 's younger brother assumed the throne under the era name Jingtai ( r .", "13": "1449 -- 57 ) ; the Oirats were also repelled once the Jingtai Emperor 's confidant and defense minister Yu Qian ( 1398 -- 1457 ) gained control of the Ming armed forces . Holding the Zhengtong Emperor in captivity was a useless bargaining chip for the Oirats as long as another sat on his throne , so they released him back into Ming China . The former emperor was placed under house arrest in the palace until the coup against the Jingtai Emperor in 1457 known as the `` Wresting the Gate Incident '' . The former emperor retook the throne under the new era name Tianshun ( r . 1457 -- 64 ) . Tianshun proved to be a troubled time and Mongol forces within the Ming military structure continued to be problematic . On 7 August 1461 , the Chinese general Cao Qin and his Ming troops of Mongol descent staged a coup against the Tianshun Emperor out of fear of being next on his purge - list of those who aided him in the Wresting the Gate Incident . Cao 's rebel force managed to set fire to the western and eastern gates of the Imperial City ( doused by rain during the battle ) and killed several leading ministers before his forces were finally cornered and he was forced to commit suicide . While the Yongle Emperor had staged five major offensives north of the Great Wall against the Mongols and the Oirats , the constant threat of Oirat incursions prompted the Ming authorities to fortify the Great Wall from the late 15th century to the 16th century ; nevertheless , John Fairbank notes that `` it proved to be a futile military gesture but vividly expressed China 's siege mentality . '' Yet the Great Wall was not meant to be a purely defensive fortification ; its towers functioned rather as a series of lit beacons and signalling stations to allow rapid warning to friendly units of advancing enemy troops .", "14": "Decline and fall of the Ming dynasty Main article : Fall of the Ming dynasty Reign of the Wanli Emperor The Wanli Emperor ( ruled in 1572 -- 1620 ) in state ceremonial court dress The financial drain of the Imjin War in Korea against the Japanese was one of the many problems -- fiscal or other -- facing Ming China during the reign of the Wanli Emperor ( 1572 -- 1620 ) . In the beginning of his reign , Wanli surrounded himself with able advisors and made a conscientious effort to handle state affairs . His Grand Secretary Zhang Juzheng ( 1572 -- 82 ) built up an effective network of alliances with senior officials . However , there was no one after him skilled enough to maintain the stability of these alliances ; officials soon banded together in opposing political factions . Over time Wanli grew tired of court affairs and frequent political quarreling amongst his ministers , preferring to stay behind the walls of the Forbidden City and out of his officials ' sight . Scholar - officials lost prominence in administration as eunuchs became intermediaries between the aloof emperor and his officials ; any senior official who wanted to discuss state matters had to persuade powerful eunuchs with a bribe simply to have his demands or message relayed to the emperor . Role of eunuchs Tianqi - era teacups , from the Nantoyōsō Collection in Japan ; the Tianqi Emperor was heavily influenced and largely controlled by the eunuch Wei Zhongxian ( 1568 -- 1627 ) . The Hongwu Emperor forbade eunuchs to learn how to read or engage in politics . Whether or not these restrictions were carried out with absolute success in his reign , eunuchs during the Yongle Emperor 's reign and afterwards managed huge imperial workshops , commanded armies , and participated in matters of appointment and promotion of officials . The eunuchs developed their own bureaucracy that was organized parallel to but was not subject to the civil service bureaucracy . Although there were several dictatorial eunuchs throughout the Ming , such as Wang Zhen , Wang Zhi , and Liu Jin , excessive tyrannical eunuch power did not become evident until the 1590s when the Wanli Emperor increased their rights over the civil bureaucracy and granted them power to collect provincial taxes .", "15": "The eunuch Wei Zhongxian ( 1568 -- 1627 ) dominated the court of the Tianqi Emperor ( r . 1620 -- 1627 ) and had his political rivals tortured to death , mostly the vocal critics from the faction of the Donglin Society . He ordered temples built in his honor throughout the Ming Empire , and built personal palaces created with funds allocated for building the previous emperor 's tombs . His friends and family gained important positions without qualifications . Wei also published a historical work lambasting and belittling his political opponents . The instability at court came right as natural calamity , pestilence , rebellion , and foreign invasion came to a peak . The Chongzhen Emperor ( r . 1627 -- 44 ) had Wei dismissed from court , which led to Wei 's suicide shortly after . Economic breakdown and natural disasters Further information : Europeans in Medieval China Spring morning in a Han palace , by Qiu Ying ( 1494 -- 1552 ) ; excessive luxury and decadence marked the late Ming period , spurred by the enormous state bullion of incoming silver and by private transactions involving silver . During the last years of the Wanli era and those of his two successors , an economic crisis developed that was centered on a sudden widespread lack of the empire 's chief medium of exchange : silver . The Portuguese first established trade with China in 1516 , trading Japanese silver for Chinese silk , and after some initial hostilities gained consent from the Ming court in 1557 to settle Macau as their permanent trade base in China . Their role in providing silver was gradually surpassed by the Spanish , while even the Dutch challenged them for control of this trade . Philip IV of Spain ( reigned 1621 -- 1665 ) began cracking down on illegal smuggling of silver from New Spain and Peru across the Pacific through the Philippines towards China , in favor of shipping American - mined silver through Spanish ports . In 1639 the new Tokugawa regime of Japan shut down most of its foreign trade with European powers , cutting off another source of silver coming into China . These events occurring at roughly the same time caused a dramatic spike in the value of silver and made paying taxes nearly impossible for most provinces . People began hoarding precious silver as there was progressively less of it , forcing the ratio of the value of copper to silver into a steep decline .", "16": "In the 1630s a string of one thousand copper coins equaled an ounce of silver ; by 1640 that sum could fetch half an ounce ; and , by 1643 only one - third of an ounce . For peasants this meant economic disaster , since they paid taxes in silver while conducting local trade and crop sales in copper . Famines became common in northern China in the early 17th century because of unusually dry and cold weather that shortened the growing season -- effects of a larger ecological event now known as the Little Ice Age . Famine , alongside tax increases , widespread military desertions , a declining relief system , and natural disasters such as flooding and inability of the government to properly manage irrigation and flood - control projects caused widespread loss of life and normal civility . The central government , starved of resources , could do very little to mitigate the effects of these calamities . Making matters worse , a widespread epidemic spread across China from Zhejiang to Henan , killing an unknown but large number of people . The deadliest earthquake of all time , the Shaanxi earthquake of 1556 , occurred during the Jiajing Emperor 's reign , killing approximately 830,000 people . Rise of the Manchu Shanhaiguan along the Great Wall , the gate where the Manchus were repeatedly repelled before being finally let through by Wu Sangui in 1644 . A Jurchen tribal leader named Nurhaci ( r . 1616 -- 26 ) , starting with just a small tribe , rapidly gained control over all the Manchurian tribes . During the Japanese invasions of Joseon Korea in the 1590s , he offered to lead his tribes in support of the Ming and Joseon army . This offer was declined , but he was granted honorific Ming titles for his gesture . Recognizing the weakness of Ming authority north of their border , he united all of the adjacent northern tribes and consolidated power in the region surrounding his homeland as the Jurchen Jin dynasty had done previously . In 1610 , he broke relations with the Ming court , and in 1618 demanded a tribute from them to redress `` Seven Grievances '' .", "17": "By 1636 , Nurhaci 's son Huang Taiji renamed his dynasty from the `` Later Jin '' to the `` Great Qing '' at Mukden , which had fallen to Qing forces in 1621 and was made their capital in 1625 . Huang Taiji also adopted the Chinese imperial title huangdi , declared the Chongde ( `` Revering Virtue '' ) era , and changed the ethnic name of his people from `` Jurchen '' to `` Manchu '' . In 1638 the Manchu defeated and conquered Ming China 's traditional ally Joseon with an army of 100,000 troops in the Second Manchu invasion of Korea . Shortly after , the Koreans renounced their long - held loyalty to the Ming dynasty . Rebellion , invasion , collapse Main article : Qing conquest of the Ming A peasant soldier named Li Zicheng mutinied with his fellow soldiers in western Shaanxi in the early 1630s after the Ming government failed to ship much - needed supplies there . In 1634 he was captured by a Ming general and released only on the terms that he return to service . The agreement soon broke down when a local magistrate had thirty - six of his fellow rebels executed ; Li 's troops retaliated by killing the officials and continued to lead a rebellion based in Rongyang , central Henan province by 1635 . By the 1640s , an ex-soldier and rival to Li -- Zhang Xianzhong ( 1606 -- 47 ) -- had created a firm rebel base in Chengdu , Sichuan , while Li 's center of power was in Hubei with extended influence over Shaanxi and Henan . In 1640 , masses of Chinese peasants who were starving , unable to pay their taxes , and no longer in fear of the frequently defeated Chinese army , began to form into huge bands of rebels . The Chinese military , caught between fruitless efforts to defeat the Manchu raiders from the north and huge peasant revolts in the provinces , essentially fell apart . Unpaid and unfed , the army was defeated by Li Zicheng -- now self - styled as the Prince of Shun -- and deserted the capital without much of a fight .", "18": "On 25 April 1644 , Beijing fell to a rebel army led by Li Zicheng when the city gates were opened by rebel allies from within . During the turmoil , the last Ming emperor hanged himself on a tree in the imperial garden outside the Forbidden City . Portrait of the Chongzhen Emperor ( r . 1627 -- 1644 ) Seizing opportunity , the Eight Banners crossed the Great Wall after the Ming border general Wu Sangui ( 1612 -- 1678 ) opened the gates at Shanhai Pass . This occurred shortly after he learned about the fate of the capital and an army of Li Zicheng marching towards him ; weighing his options of alliance , he decided to side with the Manchus . The Eight Banners under the Manchu Prince Dorgon ( 1612 -- 50 ) and Wu Sangui approached Beijing after the army sent by Li was destroyed at Shanhaiguan ; the Prince of Shun 's army fled the capital on the fourth of June . On 6 June , the Manchus and Wu entered the capital and proclaimed the young Shunzhi Emperor ruler of China . After being forced out of Xi'an by the Qing , chased along the Han River to Wuchang , and finally along the northern border of Jiangxi province , Li Zicheng died there in the summer of 1645 , thus ending the Shun dynasty . One report says his death was a suicide ; another states that he was beaten to death by peasants after he was caught stealing their food . Despite the loss of Beijing and the death of the emperor , the Ming were not yet totally destroyed . Nanjing , Fujian , Guangdong , Shanxi , and Yunnan were all strongholds of Ming resistance . However , there were several pretenders for the Ming throne , and their forces were divided . These scattered Ming remnants in southern China after 1644 were collectively designated by 19th - century historians as the Southern Ming . Each bastion of resistance was individually defeated by the Qing until 1662 , when the last southern Ming Emperor died , the Yongli Emperor , Zhu Youlang .", "19": "The last Ming Princes to hold out were the Prince of Ningjing Zhu Shugui and the son of Zhu Yihai , the Prince of Lu Zhu Honghuan ( 朱弘桓 ) who stayed with Koxinga 's Ming loyalists in the Kingdom of Tungning ( in Taiwan ) until 1683 . Zhu Shugui proclaimed that he acted in the name of the deceased Yongli Emperor . The Qing eventually sent the seventeen Ming princes still living in Taiwan back to mainland China where they spent the rest of their lives . In 1725 the Qing Yongzheng Emperor bestowed the hereditary title of Marquis on a descendant of the Ming dynasty Imperial family , Zhu Zhilian ( 朱之璉 ) , who received a salary from the Qing government and whose duty was to perform rituals at the Ming tombs . The Chinese Plain White Banner was also inducted in the Eight Banners . Later the Qianlong Emperor bestowed the title Marquis of Extended Grace posthumously on Zhu Zhilian in 1750 , and the title passed on through twelve generations of Ming descendants until the end of the Qing dynasty in 1912 . The last Marquis of Extended Grance was Zhu Yuxun ( 朱煜勳 ) . In 1912 , after the overthrow of the Qing dynasty in the Xinhai Revolution , some advocated that a Han Chinese be installed as Emperor , either the descendant of Confucius , who was the Duke Yansheng , or the Ming dynasty Imperial family descendant , the Marquis of Extended Grace . Government Province , Prefecture , subprefecture , county Provinces of Ming dynasty in 1409 The Ming emperors took over the provincial administration system of the Yuan dynasty , and the thirteen Ming provinces are the precursors of the modern provinces . Throughout the Song dynasty , the largest political division was the circuit ( lu 路 ) . However , after the Jurchen invasion in 1127 , the Song court established four semi-autonomous regional command systems based on territorial and military units , with a detached service secretariat that would become the provincial administrations of the Yuan , Ming , and Qing dynasties . Copied on the Yuan model , the Ming provincial bureaucracy contained three commissions : one civil , one military , and one for surveillance .", "20": "Below the level of the province ( sheng 省 ) were prefectures ( fu 府 ) operating under a prefect ( zhifu 知府 ) , followed by subprefectures ( zhou 州 ) under a subprefect . The lowest unit was the county ( xian 縣 ) , overseen by a magistrate . Besides the provinces , there were also two large areas that belonged to no province , but were metropolitan areas ( jing 亰 ) attached to Nanjing and Beijing . Institutions and bureaus Institutional trends The Forbidden City , the official imperial household of the Ming and Qing dynasties from 1420 until 1924 , when the Republic of China evicted Puyi from the Inner Court . Departing from the main central administrative system generally known as the Three Departments and Six Ministries system , which was instituted by various dynasties since late Han ( 202 BCE -- 220 CE ) , the Ming administration had only one Department , the Secretariat , that controlled the Six Ministries . Following the execution of the Chancellor Hu Weiyong in 1380 , the Hongwu Emperor abolished the Secretariat , the Censorate , and the Chief Military Commission and personally took charge of the Six Ministries and the regional Five Military Commissions . Thus a whole level of administration was cut out and only partially rebuilt by subsequent rulers . The Grand Secretariat , at the beginning a secretarial institution that assisted the emperor with administrative paperwork , was instituted , but without employing grand counselors , or chancellors . The Hongwu Emperor sent his heir apparent to Shaanxi in 1391 to `` tour and soothe '' ( xunfu ) the region ; in 1421 the Yongle Emperor commissioned 26 officials to travel the empire and uphold similar investigatory and patrimonial duties . By 1430 these xunfu assignments became institutionalized as `` grand coordinators '' . Hence , the Censorate was reinstalled and first staffed with investigating censors , later with censors - in - chief . By 1453 , the grand coordinators were granted the title vice censor - in - chief or assistant censor - in - chief and were allowed direct access to the emperor . As in prior dynasties , the provincial administrations were monitored by a travelling inspector from the Censorate .", "21": "Censors had the power to impeach officials on an irregular basis , unlike the senior officials who were to do so only in triennial evaluations of junior officials . Although decentralization of state power within the provinces occurred in the early Ming , the trend of central government officials delegated to the provinces as virtual provincial governors began in the 1420s . By the late Ming dynasty , there were central government officials delegated to two or more provinces as supreme commanders and viceroys , a system which reined in the power and influence of the military by the civil establishment . Grand Secretariat and Six Ministries A portrait of Jiang Shunfu , an official under the Hongzhi Emperor , now in the Nanjing Museum . The decoration of two cranes on his chest is a `` rank badge '' that indicates he was a civil official of the first rank . Processional figurines from the Shanghai tomb of Pan Yongzheng , a Ming dynasty official who lived during the 16th century Governmental institutions in China conformed to a similar pattern for some two thousand years , but each dynasty installed special offices and bureaus , reflecting its own particular interests . The Ming administration utilized Grand Secretaries to assist the emperor , handling paperwork under the reign of the Yongle Emperor and later appointed as top officials of agencies and Grand Preceptor , a top - ranking , non-functional civil service post , under the Hongxi Emperor ( ruled 1424 -- 25 ) . The Grand Secretariat drew its members from the Hanlin Academy and were considered part of the imperial authority , not the ministerial one ( hence being at odds with both the emperor and ministers at times ) . The Secretariat operated as a coordinating agency , whereas the Six Ministries -- Personnel , Revenue , Rites , War , Justice , and Public Works -- were direct administrative organs of the state : The Ministry of Personnel was in charge of appointments , merit ratings , promotions , and demotions of officials , as well as granting of honorific titles . The Ministry of Revenue was in charge of gathering census data , collecting taxes , and handling state revenues , while there were two offices of currency that were subordinate to it . The Ministry of Rites was in charge of state ceremonies , rituals , and sacrifices ; it also oversaw registers for Buddhist and Daoist priesthoods and even the reception of envoys from tributary states .", "22": "The Ministry of War was in charge of the appointments , promotions , and demotions of military officers , the maintenance of military installations , equipment , and weapons , as well as the courier system . The Ministry of Justice was in charge of judicial and penal processes , but had no supervisory role over the Censorate or the Grand Court of Revision . The Ministry of Public Works had charge of government construction projects , hiring of artisans and laborers for temporary service , manufacturing government equipment , the maintenance of roads and canals , standardization of weights and measures , and the gathering of resources from the countryside . Bureaus and offices for the imperial household Ming coinage , 14 -- 17th century The imperial household was staffed almost entirely by eunuchs and ladies with their own bureaus . Female servants were organized into the Bureau of Palace Attendance , Bureau of Ceremonies , Bureau of Apparel , Bureau of Foodstuffs , Bureau of the Bedchamber , Bureau of Handicrafts , and Office of Staff Surveillance . Starting in the 1420s , eunuchs began taking over these ladies ' positions until only the Bureau of Apparel with its four subsidiary offices remained . Hongwu had his eunuchs organized into the Directorate of Palace Attendants , but as eunuch power at court increased , so did their administrative offices , with eventual twelve directorates , four offices , and eight bureaus . The dynasty had a vast imperial household , staffed with thousands of eunuchs , who were headed by the Directorate of Palace Attendants . The eunuchs were divided into different directorates in charge of staff surveillance , ceremonial rites , food , utensils , documents , stables , seals , apparel , and so on . The offices were in charge of providing fuel , music , paper , and baths . The bureaus were in charge of weapons , silverwork , laundering , headgear , bronzework , textile manufacture , wineries , and gardens . At times , the most influential eunuch in the Directorate of Ceremonial acted as a de facto dictator over the state . Although the imperial household was staffed mostly by eunuchs and palace ladies , there was a civil service office called the Seal Office , which cooperated with eunuch agencies in maintaining imperial seals , tallies , and stamps . There were also civil service offices to oversee the affairs of imperial princes .", "23": "Personnel Scholar - officials Candidates who had taken the civil service examinations would crowd around the wall where the results were posted ; detail from a handscroll in ink and color on silk , by Qiu Ying ( 1494 -- 1552 ) . The Hongwu emperor from 1373 to 1384 staffed his bureaus with officials gathered through recommendations only . After that the scholar - officials who populated the many ranks of bureaucracy were recruited through a rigorous examination system that was initially established by the Sui dynasty ( 581 -- 618 ) . Theoretically the system of exams allowed anyone to join the ranks of imperial officials ( although it was frowned upon for merchants to join ) ; in reality the time and funding needed to support the study in preparation for the exam generally limited participants to those already coming from the landholding class . However , the government did exact provincial quotas while drafting officials . This was an effort to curb monopolization of power by landholding gentry who came from the most prosperous regions , where education was the most advanced . The expansion of the printing industry since Song times enhanced the spread of knowledge and number of potential exam candidates throughout the provinces . For young schoolchildren there were printed multiplication tables and primers for elementary vocabulary ; for adult examination candidates there were mass - produced , inexpensive volumes of Confucian classics and successful examination answers . As in earlier periods , the focus of the examination was classical Confucian texts , while the bulk of test material centered on the Four Books outlined by Zhu Xi in the 12th century . Ming era examinations were perhaps more difficult to pass since the 1487 requirement of completing the `` eight - legged essay '' , a departure from basing essays off progressing literary trends . The exams increased in difficulty as the student progressed from the local level , and appropriate titles were accordingly awarded successful applicants . Officials were classified in nine hierarchic grades , each grade divided into two degrees , with ranging salaries ( nominally paid in piculs of rice ) according to their rank . While provincial graduates who were appointed to office were immediately assigned to low - ranking posts like the county graduates , those who passed the palace examination were awarded a jinshi ( ' presented scholar ' ) degree and assured a high - level position . In 276 years of Ming rule and ninety palace examinations , the number of doctoral degrees granted by passing the palace examinations was 24,874 .", "24": "Ebrey states that `` there were only two to four thousand of these jinshi at any given time , on the order of one out of 10,000 adult males . '' This was in comparison to the 100,000 shengyuan ( ' government students ' ) , the lowest tier of graduates , by the 16th century . The maximum tenure in office was nine years , but every three years officials were graded on their performance by senior officials . If they were graded as superior then they were promoted , if graded adequate then they retained their ranks , and if graded inadequate they were demoted one rank . In extreme cases , officials would be dismissed or punished . Only capital officials of grade 4 and above were exempt from the scrutiny of recorded evaluation , although they were expected to confess any of their faults . There were over 4,000 school instructors in county and prefectural schools who were subject to evaluations every nine years . The Chief Instructor on the prefectural level was classified as equal to a second - grade county graduate . The Supervisorate of Imperial Instruction oversaw the education of the heir apparent to the throne ; this office was headed by a Grand Supervisor of Instruction , who was ranked as first class of grade three . Lesser functionaries The Xuande Emperor playing chuiwan with his eunuchs , a game similar to golf , by an anonymous court painter of the Xuande period ( 1425 -- 35 ) . Scholar - officials who entered civil service through examinations acted as executive officials to a much larger body of non-ranked personnel called lesser functionaries . They outnumbered officials by four to one ; Charles Hucker estimates that they were perhaps as many as 100,000 throughout the empire . These lesser functionaries performed clerical and technical tasks for government agencies . Yet they should not be confused with lowly lictors , runners , and bearers ; lesser functionaries were given periodic merit evaluations like officials and after nine years of service might be accepted into a low civil service rank . The one great advantage of the lesser functionaries over officials was that officials were periodically rotated and assigned to different regional posts and had to rely on the good service and cooperation of the local lesser functionaries .", "25": "Eunuchs , princes , and generals Detail of The Emperor 's Approach showing the Wanli Emperor 's royal carriage being pulled by elephants and escorted by cavalry ( full panoramic painting here ) Eunuchs gained unprecedented power over state affairs during the Ming dynasty . One of the most effective means of control was the secret service stationed in what was called the Eastern Depot at the beginning of the dynasty , later the Western Depot . This secret service was overseen by the Directorate of Ceremonial , hence this state organ 's often totalitarian affiliation . Eunuchs had ranks that were equivalent to civil service ranks , only theirs had four grades instead of nine . Descendants of the first Ming emperor were made princes and given ( typically nominal ) military commands , annual stipends , and large estates . The title used was `` king '' ( 王 , wáng ) but -- unlike the princes in the Han and Jin dynasties -- these estates were not feudatories , the princes did not serve any administrative function , and they partook in military affairs only during the reigns of the first two emperors . The rebellion of the Prince of Yan was justified in part as upholding the rights of the princes , but once the Yongle Emperor was enthroned , he continued his nephew 's policy of disarming his brothers and moved their fiefs away from the militarized northern border . Although princes served no organ of state administration , the princes , consorts of the imperial princesses , and ennobled relatives did staff the Imperial Clan Court , which supervised the imperial genealogy . Like scholar - officials , military generals were ranked in a hierarchic grading system and were given merit evaluations every five years ( as opposed to three years for officials ) . However , military officers had less prestige than officials . This was due to their hereditary service ( instead of solely merit - based ) and Confucian values that dictated those who chose the profession of violence ( wu ) over the cultured pursuits of knowledge ( wen ) . Although seen as less prestigious , military officers were not excluded from taking civil service examinations , and after 1478 the military even held their own examinations to test military skills . In addition to taking over the established bureaucratic structure from the Yuan period , the Ming emperors established the new post of the travelling military inspector .", "26": "In the early half of the dynasty , men of noble lineage dominated the higher ranks of military office ; this trend was reversed during the latter half of the dynasty as men from more humble origins eventually displaced them . Society and Culture Literature and arts Further information : Ming dynasty painting and Ming poetry Lofty Mount Lu , by Shen Zhou , 1467 . Literature , painting , poetry , music , and Chinese opera of various types flourished during the Ming dynasty , especially in the economically prosperous lower Yangzi valley . Although short fiction had been popular as far back as the Tang dynasty ( 618 -- 907 ) , and the works of contemporaneous authors such as Xu Guangqi , Xu Xiake , and Song Yingxing were often technical and encyclopedic , the most striking literary development was the vernacular novel . While the gentry elite were educated enough to fully comprehend the language of Classical Chinese , those with rudimentary education -- such as women in educated families , merchants , and shop clerks -- became a large potential audience for literature and performing arts that employed Vernacular Chinese . Literati scholars edited or developed major Chinese novels into mature form in this period , such as Water Margin and Journey to the West . Jin Ping Mei , published in 1610 , although incorporating earlier material , marks the trend toward independent composition and concern with psychology . In the later years of the dynasty , Feng Menglong and Ling Mengchu innovated with vernacular short fiction . Theater scripts were equally imaginative . The most famous , The Peony Pavilion , was written by Tang Xianzu ( 1550 -- 1616 ) , with its first performance at the Pavilion of Prince Teng in 1598 . Informal essay and travel writing was another highlight . Xu Xiake ( 1587 -- 1641 ) , a travel literature author , published his Travel Diaries in 404,000 written characters , with information on everything from local geography to mineralogy . The first reference to the publishing of private newspapers in Beijing was in 1582 ; by 1638 the Beijing Gazette switched from using woodblock print to movable type printing . The new literary field of the moral guide to business ethics was developed during the late Ming period , for the readership of the merchant class .", "27": "Poetry of Min Ding , 17th century In contrast to Xu Xiake , who focused on technical aspects in his travel literature , the Chinese poet and official Yuan Hongdao ( 1568 -- 1610 ) used travel literature to express his desires for individualism as well as autonomy from and frustration with Confucian court politics . Yuan desired to free himself from the ethical compromises that were inseparable from the career of a scholar - official . This anti-official sentiment in Yuan 's travel literature and poetry was actually following in the tradition of the Song dynasty poet and official Su Shi ( 1037 -- 1101 ) . Yuan Hongdao and his two brothers , Yuan Zongdao ( 1560 -- 1600 ) and Yuan Zhongdao ( 1570 -- 1623 ) , were the founders of the Gong'an School of letters . This highly individualistic school of poetry and prose was criticized by the Confucian establishment for its association with intense sensual lyricism , which was also apparent in Ming vernacular novels such as the Jin Ping Mei . Yet even gentry and scholar - officials were affected by the new popular romantic literature , seeking courtesans as soulmates to reenact the heroic love stories that arranged marriages often could not provide or accommodate . Painting of flowers , a butterfly , and rock sculpture by Chen Hongshou ( 1598 -- 1652 ) ; small leaf album paintings like this one first became popular in the Song dynasty . Famous painters included Ni Zan and Dong Qichang , as well as the Four Masters of the Ming dynasty , Shen Zhou , Tang Yin , Wen Zhengming , and Qiu Ying . They drew upon the techniques , styles , and complexity in painting achieved by their Song and Yuan predecessors , but added techniques and styles . Well - known Ming artists could make a living simply by painting due to the high prices they demanded for their artworks and the great demand by the highly cultured community to collect precious works of art . The artist Qiu Ying was once paid 2.8 kg ( 100 oz ) of silver to paint a long handscroll for the eightieth birthday celebration of the mother of a wealthy patron . Renowned artists often gathered an entourage of followers , some who were amateurs who painted while pursuing an official career and others who were full - time painters .", "28": "Ming dynasty Xuande mark and period ( 1426 -- 35 ) imperial blue and white vase . Metropolitan Museum of Art , New York . The period was also renowned for ceramics and porcelains . The major production center for porcelain was the imperial kilns at Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province , most famous in the period for blue and white porcelain , but also producing other styles . The Dehua porcelain factories in Fujian catered to European tastes by creating Chinese export porcelain by the late 16th century . Individual potters also became known , such as He Chaozong , who became famous in the early 17th century for his style of white porcelain sculpture . In The Ceramic Trade in Asia , Chuimei Ho estimates that about 16 % of late Ming era Chinese ceramic exports were sent to Europe , while the rest were destined for Japan and South East Asia . Carved designs in lacquerware and designs glazed onto porcelain wares displayed intricate scenes similar in complexity to those in painting . These items could be found in the homes of the wealthy , alongside embroidered silks and wares in jade , ivory , and cloisonné . The houses of the rich were also furnished with rosewood furniture and feathery latticework . The writing materials in a scholar 's private study , including elaborately carved brush holders made of stone or wood , were designed and arranged ritually to give an aesthetic appeal . Connoisseurship in the late Ming period centered on these items of refined artistic taste , which provided work for art dealers and even underground scammers who themselves made imitations and false attributions . The Jesuit Matteo Ricci while staying in Nanjing wrote that Chinese scam artists were ingenious at making forgeries and huge profits . However , there were guides to help the wary new connoisseur ; Liu Tong ( died 1637 ) wrote a book printed in 1635 that told his readers how to spot fake and authentic pieces of art . He revealed that a Xuande era ( 1426 -- 1435 ) bronzework could be authenticated by judging its sheen ; porcelain wares from the Yongle era ( 1402 -- 1424 ) could be judged authentic by their thickness .", "29": "Religion See also : Islam during the Ming dynasty , Jesuit China missions , and Chinese Rites Controversy Chinese glazed stoneware statue of a Daoist deity , from the Ming dynasty , 16th century .

The Yuan - supported Tibetan lamas fell from favor , and the early Ming emperors particularly favored Taoism , granting its practitioners many positions in the state 's ritual offices . The Hongwu Emperor curtailed the cosmopolitan culture of the Mongol Yuan dynasty , and the prolific Prince of Ning Zhu Quan even composed one encyclopedia attacking Buddhism as a foreign `` mourning cult '' , deleterious to the state , and another encyclopedia that subsequently joined the Taoist canon . Islam was also well - established throughout China , with a history said to have begun with Sa 'd ibn Abi Waqqas during the Tang dynasty and strong official support during the Yuan . Although the Ming sharply curtailed this support , there were still several prominent Muslim figures early on , including the Hongwu Emperor 's generals Chang Yuqun , Lan Yu , Ding Dexing , and Mu Ying , as well as the Yongle Emperor 's powerful eunuch Zheng He . Bodhisattva Manjusri in Blanc - de-Chine , by He Chaozong , 17th century ; Song Yingxing devoted an entire section of his book to the ceramics industry in the making of porcelain items like this . The advent of the Ming was initially devastating to Christianity : in his first year , the Hongwu Emperor declared the eighty - year - old Franciscan missions among the Yuan heterodox and illegal . The centuries - old Nestorian church also disappeared . During the later Ming a new wave of Christian missionaries arrived -- particularly Jesuits -- who employed new western science and technology in their arguments for conversion . They were educated in Chinese language and culture at St. Paul 's College on Macau after its founding in 1579 . The most influential was Matteo Ricci , whose `` Map of the Myriad Countries of the World '' upended traditional geography throughout East Asia , and whose work with the convert Xu Guangqi led to the first Chinese translation of Euclid 's Elements in 1607 .", "30": "The discovery of a Nestorian stele at Xi'an in 1625 also permitted Christianity to be treated as an old and established faith , rather than as a new and dangerous cult . However , there were strong disagreements about the extent to which converts could continue to perform rituals to the emperor , Confucius , or their ancestors : Ricci had been very accommodating and an attempt by his successors to backtrack from this policy led to the Nanjing Incident of 1616 , which exiled four Jesuits to Macau and forced the others out of public life for six years . A series of spectacular failures by the Chinese astronomers -- including missing an eclipse easily computed by Xu Guangqi and Sabatino de Ursis -- and a return by the Jesuits to presenting themselves as educated scholars in the Confucian mold restored their fortunes . However , by the end of the Ming the Dominicans had begun the Chinese Rites controversy in Rome that would eventually lead to a full ban of Christianity under the Qing dynasty . During his mission , Ricci was also contacted in Beijing by one of the approximately 5,000 Kaifeng Jews and introduced them and their long history in China to Europe . However , the 1642 flood caused by Kaifeng 's Ming governor devastated the community , which lost five of its twelve families , its synagogue , and most of its Torah . Philosophy Wang Yangming 's Confucianism Wang Yangming ( 1472 -- 1529 ) , considered the most influential Confucian thinker since Zhu Xi During the Ming dynasty , the Neo-Confucian doctrines of the Song scholar Zhu Xi were embraced by the court and the Chinese literati at large , although the direct line of his school was destroyed by the Yongle Emperor 's extermination of the ten degrees of kinship of Fang Xiaoru in 1402 . The Ming scholar most influential upon subsequent generations , however , was Wang Yangming ( 1472 -- 1529 ) , whose teachings were attacked in his own time for their similarity to Chan Buddhism . Building upon Zhu Xi 's concept of the `` extension of knowledge '' ( 理學 or 格物 致知 ) , gaining understanding through careful and rational investigation of things and events , Wang argued that universal concepts would appear in the minds of anyone .", "31": "Therefore , he claimed that anyone -- no matter their pedigree or education -- could become as wise as Confucius and Mencius had been and that their writings were not sources of truth but merely guides that might have flaws when carefully examined . A peasant with a great deal of experience and intelligence would then be wiser than an official who had memorized the Classics but not experienced the real world . Conservative reaction A Ming dynasty print drawing of Confucius on his way to the Zhou dynasty capital of Luoyang . Other scholar - bureaucrats were wary of Wang 's heterodoxy , the increasing number of his disciples while he was still in office , and his overall socially rebellious message . To curb his influence , he was often sent out to deal with military affairs and rebellions far away from the capital . Yet his ideas penetrated mainstream Chinese thought and spurred new interest in Taoism and Buddhism . Furthermore , people began to question the validity of the social hierarchy and the idea that the scholar should be above the farmer . Wang Yangming 's disciple and salt - mine worker Wang Gen gave lectures to commoners about pursuing education to improve their lives , while his follower He Xinyin ( 何心隱 ) challenged the elevation and emphasis of the family in Chinese society . His contemporary Li Zhi even taught that women were the intellectual equals of men and should be given a better education ; both Li and He eventually died in prison , jailed on charges of spreading `` dangerous ideas '' . Yet these `` dangerous ideas '' of educating women had long been embraced by some mothers and by courtesans who were as literate and skillful in calligraphy , painting , and poetry as their male guests . The liberal views of Wang Yangming were opposed by the Censorate and by the Donglin Academy , re-established in 1604 . These conservatives wanted a revival of orthodox Confucian ethics . Conservatives such as Gu Xiancheng ( 1550 -- 1612 ) argued against Wang 's idea of innate moral knowledge , stating that this was simply a legitimization for unscrupulous behavior such as greedy pursuits and personal gain . These two strands of Confucian thought , hardened by Chinese scholars ' notions of obligation towards their mentors , developed into pervasive factionalism among the ministers of state , who used any opportunity to impeach members of the other faction from court .", "32": "Urban and rural Life A Ming dynasty red `` seal paste box '' in carved lacquer . Map of Beijing in Ming Dynasty Wang Gen was able to give philosophical lectures to many commoners from different regions because -- following the trend already apparent in the Song dynasty -- communities in Ming society were becoming less isolated as the distance between market towns was shrinking . Schools , descent groups , religious associations , and other local voluntary organizations were increasing in number and allowing more contact between educated men and local villagers . Jonathan Spence writes that the distinction between what was town and country was blurred in Ming China , since suburban areas with farms were located just outside and in some cases within the walls of a city . Not only was the blurring of town and country evident , but also of socioeconomic class in the traditional four occupations ( Chinese : 士農工商 ) , since artisans sometimes worked on farms in peak periods , and farmers often traveled into the city to find work during times of dearth . A variety of occupations could be chosen or inherited from a father 's line of work . This would include -- but was not limited to -- coffinmakers , ironworkers and blacksmiths , tailors , cooks and noodle - makers , retail merchants , tavern , teahouse , or winehouse managers , shoemakers , seal cutters , pawnshop owners , brothel heads , and merchant bankers engaging in a proto - banking system involving notes of exchange . Virtually every town had a brothel where female and male prostitutes could be had . Male catamites fetched a higher price than female concubines since pederasty with a teenage boy was seen as a mark of elite status , regardless of sodomy being repugnant to sexual norms . Public bathing became much more common than in earlier periods . Urban shops and retailers sold a variety of goods such as special paper money to burn at ancestral sacrifices , specialized luxury goods , headgear , fine cloth , teas , and others . Smaller communities and townships too poor or scattered to support shops and artisans obtained their goods from periodic market fairs and traveling peddlers . A small township also provided a place for simple schooling , news and gossip , matchmaking , religious festivals , traveling theater groups , tax collection , and bases of famine relief distribution .", "33": "Farming villagers in the north spent their days harvesting crops like wheat and millet , while farmers south of the Huai River engaged in intensive rice cultivation and had lakes and ponds where ducks and fish could be raised . The cultivation of mulberry trees for silkworms and tea bushes could be found mostly south of the Yangzi River ; even further south sugarcane and citrus were grown as basic crops . Some people in the mountainous southwest made a living by selling lumber from hard bamboo . Besides cutting down trees to sell wood , the poor also made a living by turning wood into charcoal , and by burning oyster shells to make lime and fired pots , and weaving mats and baskets . In the north traveling by horse and carriage was most common , while in the south the myriad of rivers , canals , and lakes provided cheap and easy water transport . Although the south had the characteristic of the wealthy landlord and tenant farmers , there were on average many more owner - cultivators north of the Huai River due to harsher climate , living not far above subsistence level .

Compared to the flourishing of science and technology in the Song dynasty , the Ming dynasty perhaps saw fewer advancements in science and technology compared to the pace of discovery in the Western world . In fact , key advances in Chinese science in the late Ming were spurred by contact with Europe . In 1626 Johann Adam Schall von Bell wrote the first Chinese treatise on the telescope , the Yuanjingshuo ( Far Seeing Optic Glass ) ; in 1634 the Chongzhen Emperor acquired the telescope of the late Johann Schreck ( 1576 -- 1630 ) .", "34": "The heliocentric model of the solar system was rejected by the Catholic missionaries in China , but Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei 's ideas slowly trickled into China starting with the Polish Jesuit Michael Boym ( 1612 -- 59 ) in 1627 , Adam Schall von Bell 's treatise in 1640 , and finally Joseph Edkins , Alex Wylie , and John Fryer in the 19th century . Catholic Jesuits in China would promote Copernican theory at court , yet at the same time embrace the Ptolemaic system in their writing ; it was not until 1865 that Catholic missionaries in China sponsored the heliocentric model as their Protestant peers did . Although Shen Kuo ( 1031 -- 95 ) and Guo Shoujing ( 1231 -- 1316 ) had laid the basis for trigonometry in China , another important work in Chinese trigonometry would not be published again until 1607 with the efforts of Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci . Ironically , some inventions which had their origins in ancient China were reintroduced to China from Europe during the late Ming ; for example , the field mill . The Chinese calendar was in need of reform since it inadequately measured the solar year at 365 1⁄4 days , giving an error of 10 min and 14 sec a year or roughly a full day every 128 years . Although the Ming had adopted Guo Shoujing 's Shoushi calendar of 1281 , which was just as accurate as the Gregorian Calendar , the Ming Directorate of Astronomy failed to periodically readjust it ; this was perhaps due to their lack of expertise since their offices had become hereditary in the Ming and the Statutes of the Ming prohibited private involvement in astronomy . A sixth - generation descendant of the Hongxi Emperor , the `` Prince '' Zhu Zaiyu ( 1536 -- 611 ) , submitted a proposal to fix the calendar in 1595 , but the ultra-conservative astronomical commission rejected it . This was the same Zhu Zaiyu who discovered the system of tuning known as equal temperament , a discovery made simultaneously by Simon Stevin ( 1548 -- 1620 ) in Europe . In addition to publishing his works on music , he was able to publish his findings on the calendar in 1597 .", "35": "A year earlier , the memorial of Xing Yunlu suggesting a calendar improvement was rejected by the Supervisor of the Astronomical Bureau due to the law banning private practice of astronomy ; Xing would later serve with Xu Guangqi in reforming the calendar ( Chinese : 崇禎 暦 書 ) in 1629 according to Western standards . A 24 - point compass chart employed by Zheng He during his explorations . When the Ming founder Hongwu came upon the mechanical devices housed in the Yuan dynasty 's palace at Khanbaliq -- such as fountains with balls dancing on their jets , self - operating tiger automata , dragon - headed devices that spouted mists of perfume , and mechanical clocks in the tradition of Yi Xing ( 683 -- 727 ) and Su Song ( 1020 -- 101 ) -- he associated all of them with the decadence of Mongol rule and had them destroyed . This was described in full length by the Divisional Director of the Ministry of Works , Xiao Xun , who also carefully preserved details on the architecture and layout of the Yuan dynasty palace . Later , European Jesuits such as Matteo Ricci and Nicolas Trigault would briefly mention indigenous Chinese clockworks that featured drive wheels . However , both Ricci and Trigault were quick to point out that 16th - century European clockworks were far more advanced than the common time keeping devices in China , which they listed as water clocks , incense clocks , and `` other instruments ... with wheels rotated by sand as if by water '' ( Chinese : 沙漏 ) . Chinese records -- namely the Yuan Shi -- describe the ' five - wheeled sand clock ' , a mechanism pioneered by Zhan Xiyuan ( fl. 1360 -- 80 ) which featured the scoop wheel of Su Song 's earlier astronomical clock and a stationary dial face over which a pointer circulated , similar to European models of the time . This sand - driven wheel clock was improved upon by Zhou Shuxue ( fl. 1530 -- 58 ) who added a fourth large gear wheel , changed gear ratios , and widened the orifice for collecting sand grains since he criticized the earlier model for clogging up too often .", "36": "Portrait of Matteo Ricci by Yu Wenhui , Latinized as Emmanuel Pereira , dated the year of Ricci 's death , 1610 The Chinese were intrigued with European technology , but so were visiting Europeans of Chinese technology . In 1584 , Abraham Ortelius ( 1527 -- 1598 ) featured in his atlas Theatrum Orbis Terrarum the peculiar Chinese innovation of mounting masts and sails onto carriages , just like Chinese ships . Gonzales de Mendoza also mentioned this a year later -- noting even the designs of them on Chinese silken robes -- while Gerardus Mercator ( 1512 -- 94 ) featured them in his atlas , John Milton ( 1608 -- 74 ) in one of his famous poems , and Andreas Everardus van Braam Houckgeest ( 1739 -- 801 ) in the writings of his travel diary in China . The encyclopedist Song Yingxing ( 1587 -- 1666 ) documented a wide array of technologies , metallurgic and industrial processes in his Tiangong Kaiwu encyclopedia of 1637 . This includes mechanical and hydraulic powered devices for agriculture and irrigation , nautical technology such as vessel types and snorkeling gear for pearl divers , the annual processes of sericulture and weaving with the loom , metallurgic processes such as the crucible technique and quenching , manufacturing processes such as for roasting iron pyrite in converting sulphide to oxide in sulfur used in gunpowder compositions -- illustrating how ore was piled up with coal briquettes in an earthen furnace with a still - head that sent over sulfur as vapor that would solidify and crystallize -- and the use of gunpowder weapons such as a naval mine ignited by use of a rip - cord and steel flint wheel . A cannon from the Huolongjing , compiled by Jiao Yu and Liu Bowen before the latter 's death in 1375 . Focusing on agriculture in his Nongzheng Quanshu , the agronomist Xu Guangqi ( 1562 -- 1633 ) took an interest in irrigation , fertilizers , famine relief , economic and textile crops , and empirical observation of the elements that gave insight into early understandings of chemistry .", "37": "There were many advances and new designs in gunpowder weapons during the beginning of the dynasty , but by the mid to late Ming the Chinese began to frequently employ European - style artillery and firearms . The Huolongjing , compiled by Jiao Yu and Liu Bowen sometime before the latter 's death on 16 May 1375 ( with a preface added by Jiao in 1412 ) , featured many types of cutting - edge gunpowder weaponry for the time . This includes hollow , gunpowder - filled exploding cannonballs , land mines that used a complex trigger mechanism of falling weights , pins , and a steel wheellock to ignite the train of fuses , naval mines , fin - mounted winged rockets for aerodynamic control , multistage rockets propelled by booster rockets before igniting a swarm of smaller rockets issuing forth from the end of the missile ( shaped like a dragon 's head ) , and hand cannons that had up to ten barrels . Li Shizhen ( 1518 -- 93 ) -- one of the most renowned pharmacologists and physicians in Chinese history -- belonged to the late Ming period . His Bencao Gangmu is a medical text with 1,892 entries , each entry with its own name called a gang . The mu in the title refers to the synonyms of each name . Inoculation , although it can be traced to earlier Chinese folk medicine , was detailed in Chinese texts by the sixteenth century . Throughout the Ming dynasty , around fifty texts were published on the treatment of smallpox . In regards to oral hygiene , the ancient Egyptians had a primitive toothbrush of a twig frayed at the end , but the Chinese were the first to invent the modern bristle toothbrush in 1498 , although it used stiff pig hair . Population Appreciating Plums , by Chen Hongshou ( 1598 -- 1652 ) showing a lady holding an oval fan while enjoying the beauty of the plum . Sinologist historians debate the population figures for each era in the Ming dynasty . The historian Timothy Brook notes that the Ming government census figures are dubious since fiscal obligations prompted many families to underreport the number of people in their households and many county officials to underreport the number of households in their jurisdiction . Children were often underreported , especially female children , as shown by skewed population statistics throughout the Ming .", "38": "Even adult women were underreported ; for example , the Daming Prefecture in North Zhili reported a population of 378,167 males and 226,982 females in 1502 . The government attempted to revise the census figures using estimates of the expected average number of people in each household , but this did not solve the widespread problem of tax registration . Some part of the gender imbalance may be attributed to the practice of female infanticide . The practice is well documented in China , going back over two thousand years , and it was described as `` rampant '' and `` practiced by almost every family '' by contemporary authors . However , the dramatically skewed sex ratios , which many counties reported exceeding 2 : 1 by 1586 , can not likely be explained by infanticide alone . The Xuande Emperor ( r . 1425 -- 35 ) ; he stated in 1428 that his populace was dwindling due to palace construction and military adventures . But the population was rising under him , a fact noted by Zhou Chen -- governor of South Zhili -- in his 1432 report to the throne about widespread itinerant commerce . The number of people counted in the census of 1381 was 59,873,305 ; however , this number dropped significantly when the government found that some 3 million people were missing from the tax census of 1391 . Even though underreporting figures was made a capital crime in 1381 , the need for survival pushed many to abandon the tax registration and wander from their region , where Hongwu had attempted to impose rigid immobility on the populace . The government tried to mitigate this by creating their own conservative estimate of 60,545,812 people in 1393 . In his Studies on the Population of China , Ho Ping - ti suggests revising the 1393 census to 65 million people , noting that large areas of North China and frontier areas were not counted in that census . Brook states that the population figures gathered in the official censuses after 1393 ranged between 51 and 62 million , while the population was in fact increasing . Even the Hongzhi Emperor ( r . 1487 -- 505 ) remarked that the daily increase in subjects coincided with the daily dwindling amount of registered civilians and soldiers .", "39": "William Atwell states that around 1400 the population of China was perhaps 90 million people , citing Heijdra and Mote . Historians are now turning to local gazetteers of Ming China for clues that would show consistent growth in population . Using the gazetteers , Brook estimates that the overall population under the Chenghua Emperor ( r . 1464 -- 1487 ) was roughly 75 million , despite mid-Ming census figures hovering around 62 million . While prefectures across the empire in the mid-Ming period were reporting either a drop in or stagnant population size , local gazetteers reported massive amounts of incoming vagrant workers with not enough good cultivated land for them to till , so that many would become drifters , conmen , or wood - cutters that contributed to deforestation . The Hongzhi and Zhengde emperors lessened the penalties against those who had fled their home region , while the Jiajing Emperor ( r . 1521 -- 67 ) finally had officials register migrants wherever they had moved or fled in order to bring in more revenues . Even with the Jiajing reforms to document migrant workers and merchants , by the late Ming era the government census still did not accurately reflect the enormous growth in population . Gazetteers across the empire noted this and made their own estimations of the overall population in the Ming , some guessing that it had doubled , tripled , or even grown fivefold since 1368 . Fairbank estimates that the population was perhaps 160 million in the late Ming dynasty , while Brook estimates 175 million , and Ebrey states perhaps as large as 200 million . However , a great epidemic that entered China through the northwest in 1641 ravaged the densely populated areas along the Grand Canal ; a gazetteer in northern Zhejiang noted more than half the population fell ill that year and that 90 % of the local populace in one area was dead by 1642 .", "40": "See also List of emperors of the Ming dynasty Ming emperors family tree Economy of the Ming dynasty Taxation in premodern China Ye Chunji ( for further information on rural economics in the Ming ) Kaifeng flood of 1642 Ming official headwear List of tributaries of Imperial China Manchuria under Ming rule Kingdom of Tungning Military conquests of the Ming dynasty Luchuan - Pingmian Campaigns Ming poetry Ming ceramics Zheng Zhilong Qing conquest of the Ming Notes Jump up ^ Primary capital after 1403 ; secondary capital after 1421 .

The Grapes of Wrath First edition cover Author John Steinbeck Cover artist Elmer Hader Country United States Language English Genre Novel Publisher The Viking Press - James Lloyd Publication date April 14 , 1939 Pages 464 OCLC 289946 Dewey Decimal 813.52 The Grapes of Wrath is an American realist novel written by John Steinbeck and published in 1939 . The book won the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize for fiction , and it was cited prominently when Steinbeck was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1962 . Set during the Great Depression , the novel focuses on the Joads , a poor family of tenant farmers driven from their Oklahoma home by drought , economic hardship , agricultural industry changes , and bank foreclosures forcing tenant farmers out of work . Due to their nearly hopeless situation , and in part because they are trapped in the Dust Bowl , the Joads set out for California . Along with thousands of other `` Okies '' , they seek jobs , land , dignity , and a future . The Grapes of Wrath is frequently read in American high school and college literature classes due to its historical context and enduring legacy . A celebrated Hollywood film version , starring Henry Fonda and directed by John Ford , was released in 1940 .

On his return to his home near Sallisaw , Oklahoma , Tom meets former preacher Jim Casy , whom he remembers from his childhood , and the two travel together .", "1": "When they arrive at Tom 's childhood farm home , they find it deserted . Disconcerted and confused , Tom and Casy meet their old neighbor , Muley Graves , who tells them the family has gone to stay at Uncle John Joad 's home nearby . Graves tells them that the banks have evicted all the farmers , but he refuses to leave the area . The next morning , Tom and Casy go to Uncle John 's . Tom finds his family loading their remaining possessions into a Hudson Motor Car Company sedan converted to a truck ; with their crops destroyed by the Dust Bowl , the family has defaulted on their bank loans , and their farm has been repossessed . Consequently , the Joads see no option but to seek work in California , described in handbills as fruitful and offering high pay . The Joads put everything they have into making the journey . Although leaving Oklahoma would violate his parole , Tom decides it is worth the risk , and invites Casy to join him and his family . Traveling west on Route 66 , the Joad family find the road crowded with other migrants . In makeshift camps , they hear many stories from others , some returning from California , and the group worries about lessening prospects . The family dwindles as well : Grandpa dies along the road , and they bury him in a field ; Grandma dies close to the California state line ; and both Noah ( the eldest Joad son ) and Connie Rivers ( the husband of the pregnant Joad daughter , Rose of Sharon ) leave the family . Led by Ma , the remaining members realize they can only continue , as nothing is left for them in Oklahoma . Reaching California , they find the state oversupplied with labor ; wages are low , and workers are exploited to the point of starvation . The big corporate farmers are in collusion and smaller farmers suffer from collapsing prices . Weedpatch Camp , one of the clean , utility - supplied camps operated by the Resettlement Administration , a New Deal agency , offers better conditions but does not have enough resources to care for all the needy families . Nonetheless , as a Federal facility , the camp protects the migrants from harassment by California deputies . `` How can you frighten a man whose hunger is not only in his own cramped stomach but in the wretched bellies of his children ?", "2": "You ca n't scare him -- he has known a fear beyond every other . '' -- Chapter 19 In response to the exploitation , Casy becomes a labor organizer and tries to recruit for a labor union . The remaining Joads work as strikebreakers in a peach orchard , where Casy is involved in a strike that eventually turns violent . When Tom Joad witnesses Casy 's fatal beating , he kills the attacker and flees as a fugitive . The Joads later leave the orchard for a cotton farm , where Tom is at risk of being arrested for the homicide . Tom bids his mother farewell and promises to work for the oppressed . Rose of Sharon 's baby is stillborn . Ma Joad remains steadfast and forces the family through the bereavement . With rain , the Joads ' dwelling is flooded and they move to higher ground . In the final chapter of the book , the family takes shelter from the flood in an old barn . Inside they find a young boy and his father , who is dying of starvation . Rose of Sharon takes pity on the man and offers him her breast milk to save him from starvation . Characters ( edit ) Tom Joad : Protagonist of the story ; the Joad family 's second son , named after his father . Later on , Tom takes leadership of the family even though he is young .

His agitation results in Casy 's being jailed . Religious interpretation ( edit ) This section relies largely or entirely on a single source . Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page . Please help improve this article by introducing citations to additional sources . ( April 2017 ) Many scholars note Steinbeck for his many uses of Christian imagery within The Grapes of Wrath . The largest implications lie with Tom Joad and Jim Casy , who are both interpreted as Christ - like figures at certain intervals within the novel . These two are often interpreted together , with Jim Casy representing Jesus Christ in the early days of his ministry , up until his death , which is interpreted as representing the death of Christ . From there , Tom takes over , rising in Casy 's place as the Christ figure risen from the dead . However , the religious imagery is not limited to these two characters . Scholars have regularly inspected other characters and plot points within the novel , including Ma Joad , Rose of Sharon , Rose of Sharon 's stillborn child , and Uncle John . In an article first published in 2009 , Ken Eckert even compared the migrant 's movement west as a reversed version of the slaves ' escape from Egypt in Exodus . Many of these extreme interpretations are brought on by Steinbeck 's own documented beliefs , which Eckert himself refers to as `` unorthodox . '' Development ( edit ) This is the beginning -- from `` I '' to `` we '' . If you who own the things people must have could understand this , you might preserve yourself . If you could separate causes from results , if you could know that Paine , Marx , Jefferson , Lenin were results , not causes , you might survive .", "5": "But that you can not know . For the quality of owning freezes you forever into `` I '' , and cuts you off forever from the `` we '' . -- Chapter 14 Steinbeck was known to have borrowed from field notes taken during 1938 by Farm Security Administration worker and author Sanora Babb . While Babb collected personal stories about the lives of the displaced migrants for a novel she was developing , her supervisor , Tom Collins , shared her reports with Steinbeck , then working at the San Francisco News . Babb 's own novel , Whose Names Are Unknown , was eclipsed in 1939 by the success of The Grapes of Wrath and was shelved until it was finally published in 2004 , a year before Babb 's death . The Grapes of Wrath developed from The Harvest Gypsies , a series of seven articles that ran in the San Francisco News , from October 5 to 12 , 1936 . The newspaper commissioned that work on migrant workers from the Midwest in California 's agriculture industry . ( It was later compiled and published separately . ) Title ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification .

( April 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) While writing the novel at his home , 16250 Greenwood Lane , in what is now Monte Sereno , California , Steinbeck had unusual difficulty devising a title . The Grapes of Wrath , suggested by his wife Carol Steinbeck , was deemed more suitable than anything by the author . The title is a reference to lyrics from `` The Battle Hymn of the Republic '' , by Julia Ward Howe ( emphasis added ) : Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord : He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored ; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword : His truth is marching on . These lyrics refer , in turn , to the biblical passage Revelation 14 : 19 -- 20 , an apocalyptic appeal to divine justice and deliverance from oppression in the final judgment . This and other biblical passages had inspired a long tradition of imagery of Christ in the winepress , in various media .", "6": "The passage reads : And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth , and gathered the vine of the earth , and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God . And the winepress was trodden without the city , and blood came out of the winepress , even unto the horse bridles , by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs . The phrase also appears at the end of chapter 25 in Steinbeck 's book , which describes the purposeful destruction of food to keep the price high : ( A ) nd in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath . In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy , growing heavy for the vintage . The image invoked by the title serves as a crucial symbol in the development of both the plot and the novel 's greater thematic concerns : from the terrible winepress of Dust Bowl oppression will come terrible wrath but also the deliverance of workers through their cooperation . This is suggested but not realized within the novel . Author 's note ( edit ) When preparing to write the novel , Steinbeck wrote : `` I want to put a tag of shame on the greedy bastards who are responsible for this ( the Great Depression and its effects ) . '' He famously said , `` I 've done my damnedest to rip a reader 's nerves to rags . '' This work won a large following among the working class due to Steinbeck 's sympathy for the migrants and workers ' movement , and his accessible prose style . Critical reception ( edit ) Steinbeck scholar John Timmerman sums up the book 's influence : `` The Grapes of Wrath may well be the most thoroughly discussed novel -- in criticism , reviews , and college classrooms -- of 20th century American literature . '' The Grapes of Wrath is referred to as a Great American Novel . At the time of publication , Steinbeck 's novel `` was a phenomenon on the scale of a national event . It was publicly banned and burned by citizens , it was debated on national radio ; but above all , it was read . '' According to The New York Times , it was the best - selling book of 1939 and 430,000 copies had been printed by February 1940 .", "7": "In that month it won the National Book Award , favorite fiction book of 1939 , voted by members of the American Booksellers Association . Soon it won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction . The book was noted for Steinbeck 's passionate depiction of the plight of the poor , and many of his contemporaries attacked his social and political views . Bryan Cordyack writes , `` Steinbeck was attacked as a propagandist and a socialist from both the left and the right of the political spectrum . The most fervent of these attacks came from the Associated Farmers of California ; they were displeased with the book 's depiction of California farmers ' attitudes and conduct toward the migrants . They denounced the book as a ' pack of lies ' and labeled it ' communist propaganda ' '' . Some accused Steinbeck of exaggerating camp conditions to make a political point . Steinbeck had visited the camps well before publication of the novel and argued their inhumane nature destroyed the settlers ' spirit . In 1962 , the Nobel Prize committee cited Grapes of Wrath as a `` great work '' and as one of the committee 's main reasons for granting Steinbeck the Nobel Prize for Literature . In 2005 Time magazine included the novel in its `` TIME 100 Best English - language Novels from 1923 to 2005 '' . In 2009 , The Daily Telegraph of the United Kingdom included the novel in its `` 100 novels everyone should read '' . In 1998 , the Modern Library ranked The Grapes of Wrath tenth on its list of the 100 best English - language novels of the 20th century . In 1999 , French newspaper Le Monde of Paris ranked The Grapes of Wrath as seventh on its list of the 100 best books of the 20th century . In the UK , it was listed at number 29 among the `` nation 's best loved novels '' on the BBC 's 2003 survey The Big Read . Adaptations ( edit ) In film ( edit ) The book was quickly made into a famed , 1940 Hollywood movie of the same name directed by John Ford and starring Henry Fonda as Tom Joad . The first part of the film version follows the book fairly accurately . However , the second half and the ending , in particular , differ significantly from the book .", "8": "John Springer , author of The Fondas ( Citadel , 1973 ) , said of Henry Fonda and his role in film version of The Grapes of Wrath : `` The Great American Novel made one of the few enduring Great American Motion Pictures . '' The documentary American : The Bill Hicks Story ( 2009 ) revealed that The Grapes of Wrath was comedian Bill Hicks ' favorite novel . He based his famous last words on Tom Joad 's final speech : `` I left in love , in laughter , and in truth , and wherever truth , love and laughter abide , I am there in spirit . '' In July 2013 , Steven Spielberg announced his plans to direct a remake of The Grapes of Wrath for DreamWorks . In music ( edit ) Woody Guthrie 's two - part song -- `` Tom Joad -- Parts 1 & 2 '' -- from the album Dust Bowl Ballads ( 1940 ) , explores the protagonist 's life after being paroled from prison . It was covered in 1988 by Andy Irvine , who recorded both parts as a single song -- `` Tom Joad '' -- on Patrick Street 's second album , No. 2 Patrick Street . The song `` Here Comes that Rainbow Again '' by Kris Kristofferson ( 1981 ) is based on the scene in the roadside diner where Pa Joad buys a loaf of bread and two candy sticks for Ruthie and Winfield . The band The Mission UK included a song , titled `` The Grapes of Wrath '' , in their album Carved in Sand ( 1990 ) . The progressive rock band Camel released an album , titled Dust and Dreams ( 1991 ) , inspired by the novel . American rock singer - songwriter Bruce Springsteen named his 11th studio album , The Ghost of Tom Joad ( 1995 ) , after the character . The first track on the album is titled `` The Ghost of Tom Joad '' . The song -- and to a lesser extent , the other songs on the album -- draws comparisons between the Dust Bowl and modern times . Rage Against the Machine recorded a version of `` The Ghost of Tom Joad '' in 1997 . Like Andy Irvine in 1988 , Dick Gaughan recorded Woody Guthrie 's `` Tom Joad '' on his album Outlaws & Dreamers ( 2001 ) .", "9": "An opera based on the novel was co-produced by the Minnesota Opera , and Utah Symphony and Opera , with music by Ricky Ian Gordon and libretto by Michael Korie . The opera made its world premiere in February 2007 , to favorable local reviews . Bad Religion have a song entitled `` Grains of Wraith '' on their album , New Maps of Hell ( 2007 ) . Bad Religion lead vocalist , Greg Graffin , is a fan of Steinbeck 's . The song `` Dust Bowl Dance '' on Mumford & Sons ' album Sigh No More ( 2009 ) is based on the novel . Pink Floyd 's song `` Sorrow '' , written by David Gilmour , from the album A Momentary Lapse of Reason is thematically derived / based on the novel . In Theatre ( edit ) The Steppenwolf Theatre Company produced a stage version of the book , adapted by Frank Galati . Gary Sinise played Tom Joad for its entire run of 188 performances on Broadway in 1990 . One of these performances was filmed and shown on PBS the following year . In 1990 , the Illegitimate Players theater company in Chicago produced Of Grapes and Nuts , an original , satirical mash - up of The Grapes of Wrath and Steinbeck 's acclaimed novella Of Mice and Men .

Dim lighting helps abstract the Joad family from the reality of Dust Bowl migrants . The film 's emotional and aesthetic power comes from its generalized quality attained through this visual style .

Country Kingdom of France Language French Genre Human rights , declaration and document . Publisher National Constituent Assembly Publication date 27 August 1789 The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen ( French : Déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen ) , passed by France 's National Constituent Assembly in August 1789 , is an important document of the French Revolution and in the history of human and civil rights . The Declaration was directly influenced by Thomas Jefferson , working with General Lafayette , who introduced it . Influenced also by the doctrine of `` natural right '' , the rights of man are held to be universal : valid at all times and in every place , pertaining to human nature itself . It became the basis for a nation of free individuals protected equally by the law . It is included in the beginning of the constitutions of both the Fourth French Republic ( 1946 ) and Fifth Republic ( 1958 ) and is still current . Inspired by the Enlightenment philosophers , the Declaration was a core statement of the values of the French Revolution and had a major impact on the development of freedom and democracy in Europe and worldwide . The Declaration , together with Magna Carta , the English Bill of Rights , and the United States Bill of Rights , inspired in large part the 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights .

In August 1789 , Honoré Mirabeau played a central role in conceptualizing and drafting the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen . The last article of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen was adopted on 27 August 1789 by the National Constituent Assembly , during the period of the French Revolution , as the first step toward writing a constitution for France . Inspired by the Enlightenment , the original version of the Declaration was discussed by the representatives on the basis of a 24 article draft proposed by the sixth bureau , led by Jérôme Champion de Cicé . The draft was later modified during the debates . A second and lengthier declaration , known as the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen of 1793 , was written in 1793 but never formally adopted . Philosophical and theoretical context ( edit ) The concepts in the Declaration come from the philosophical and political duties of the Enlightenment , such as individualism , the social contract as theorized by the Genevan philosopher Rousseau , and the separation of powers espoused by the Baron de Montesquieu . As can be seen in the texts , the French declaration was heavily influenced by the political philosophy of the Enlightenment and principles of human rights as was the U.S. Declaration of Independence which preceded it ( 4 July 1776 ) . The declaration is in the spirit of `` secular natural law '' , which does not base itself on religious doctrine or authority , in contrast with traditional natural law theory , which does . The declaration defines a single set of individual and collective rights for all men . Influenced by the doctrine of natural rights , these rights are held to be universal and valid in all times and places . For example , `` Men are born and remain free and equal in rights . Social distinctions may be founded only upon the general good . '' They have certain natural rights to property , to liberty , and to life . According to this theory , the role of government is to recognize and secure these rights . Furthermore , government should be carried on by elected representatives . At the time of writing , the rights contained in the declaration were only awarded to men . Furthermore , the declaration was a statement of vision rather than reality .", "2": "The declaration was not deeply rooted in either the practice of the West or even France at the time . The declaration emerged in the late 18th century out of war and revolution . It encountered opposition as democracy and individual rights were frequently regarded as synonymous with anarchy and subversion . The declaration embodies ideals and aspirations towards which France pledged to struggle in the future . Substance ( edit ) The Declaration is introduced by a preamble describing the fundamental characteristics of the rights which are qualified as being `` natural , unalienable and sacred '' and consisting of `` simple and incontestable principles '' on which citizens could base their demands . In the second article , `` the natural and imprescriptible rights of man '' are defined as `` liberty , property , security and resistance to oppression '' . It called for the destruction of aristocratic privileges by proclaiming an end to feudalism and to exemptions from taxation , freedom and equal rights for all `` Men '' , and access to public office based on talent . The monarchy was restricted , and all citizens were to have the right to take part in the legislative process . Freedom of speech and press were declared , and arbitrary arrests outlawed . The Declaration also asserted the principles of popular sovereignty , in contrast to the divine right of kings that characterized the French monarchy , and social equality among citizens , `` All the citizens , being equal in the eyes of the law , are equally admissible to all public dignities , places , and employments , according to their capacity and without distinction other than that of their virtues and of their talents , '' eliminating the special rights of the nobility and clergy . Articles ( edit ) Article I -- Men are born and remain free and equal in rights . Social distinctions can be founded only on the common good . Article II -- The goal of any political association is the conservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man . These rights are liberty , property , safety and resistance against oppression . Article III -- The principle of any sovereignty resides essentially in the Nation . No body , no individual can exert authority which does not emanate expressly from it . Article IV -- Liberty consists of doing anything which does not harm others : thus , the exercise of the natural rights of each man has only those borders which assure other members of the society the fruition of these same rights . These borders can be determined only by the law .", "3": "Article V -- The law has the right to forbid only actions harmful to society . Anything which is not forbidden by the law can not be impeded , and no one can be constrained to do what it does not order . Article VI -- The law is the expression of the general will . All the citizens have the right of contributing personally or through their representatives to its formation . It must be the same for all , either that it protects , or that it punishes . All the citizens , being equal in its eyes , are equally admissible to all public dignities , places , and employments , according to their capacity and without distinction other than that of their virtues and of their talents . Article VII -- No man can be accused , arrested nor detained but in the cases determined by the law , and according to the forms which it has prescribed . Those who solicit , dispatch , carry out or cause to be carried out arbitrary orders , must be punished ; but any citizen called or seized under the terms of the law must obey at once ; he renders himself culpable by resistance . Article VIII -- The law should establish only penalties that are strictly and evidently necessary , and no one can be punished but under a law established and promulgated before the offense and legally applied . Article IX -- Any man being presumed innocent until he is declared culpable if it is judged indispensable to arrest him , any rigor which would not be necessary for the securing of his person must be severely reprimanded by the law . Article X -- No one may be disturbed for his opinions , even religious ones , provided that their manifestation does not trouble the public order established by the law . Article XI -- The free communication of thoughts and of opinions is one of the most precious rights of man : any citizen thus may speak , write , print freely , except to respond to the abuse of this liberty , in the cases determined by the law . Article XII -- The guarantee of the rights of man and of the citizen necessitates a public force : this force is thus instituted for the advantage of all and not for the particular utility of those in whom it is trusted . Article XIII -- For the maintenance of the public force and for the expenditures of administration , a common contribution is indispensable ; it must be equally distributed to all the citizens , according to their ability to pay .", "4": "Article XIV -- Each citizen has the right to ascertain , by himself or through his representatives , the need for a public tax , to consent to it freely , to know the uses to which it is put , and of determining the proportion , basis , collection , and duration . Article XV -- The society has the right of requesting an account from any public agent of its administration . Article XVI -- Any society in which the guarantee of rights is not assured , nor the separation of powers determined , has no Constitution . Article XVII -- Property being an inviolable and sacred right , no one can be deprived of private usage , if it is not when the public necessity , legally noted , evidently requires it , and under the condition of a just and prior indemnity . Active and passive citizenship ( edit ) While the French Revolution provided rights to a larger portion of the population , there remained a distinction between those who obtained the political rights in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen and those who did not . Those who were deemed to hold these political rights were called active citizens . Active citizenship was granted to men who were French , at least 25 years old , paid taxes equal to three days work , and could not be defined as servants ( Thouret ) . This meant that at the time of the Declaration only male property owners held these rights . The deputies in the National Assembly believed that only those who held tangible interests in the nation could make informed political decisions . This distinction directly affects articles 6 , 12 , 14 , and 15 of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen as each of these rights is related to the right to vote and to participate actively in the government . With the decree of 29 October 1789 , the term active citizen became embedded in French politics . The concept of passive citizens was created to encompass those populations that had been excluded from political rights in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen . Because of the requirements set down for active citizens , the vote was granted to approximately 4.3 million Frenchmen out of a population of around 29 million . These omitted groups included women , slaves , children , and foreigners . As these measures were voted upon by the General Assembly , they limited the rights of certain groups of citizens while implementing the democratic process of the new French Republic ( 1792 -- 1804 ) .", "5": "This legislation , passed in 1789 , was amended by the creators of the Constitution of the Year III in order to eliminate the label of active citizen . The power to vote was then , however , to be granted solely to substantial property owners . Tensions arose between active and passive citizens throughout the Revolution . This happened when passive citizens started to call for more rights , or when they openly refused to listen to the ideals set forth by active citizens . This cartoon clearly demonstrates the difference that existed between the active and passive citizens along with the tensions associated with such differences . In the cartoon , a passive citizen is holding a spade and a wealthy landowning active citizen is ordering the passive citizens to go to work . The act appears condescending to the passive citizen and it revisits the reasons why the French Revolution began in the first place . Women , in particular , were strong passive citizens who played a significant role in the Revolution . Olympe de Gouges penned her Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen in 1791 and drew attention to the need for gender equality . By supporting the ideals of the French Revolution and wishing to expand them to women , she represented herself as a revolutionary citizen . Madame Roland also established herself as an influential figure throughout the Revolution . She saw women of the French Revolution as holding three roles ; `` inciting revolutionary action , formulating policy , and informing others of revolutionary events . '' By working with men , as opposed to working separate from men , she may have been able to further the fight of revolutionary women . As players in the French Revolution , women occupied a significant role in the civic sphere by forming social movements and participating in popular clubs , allowing them societal influence , despite their lack of direct political influence . Women 's rights ( edit ) The Declaration recognized many rights as belonging to citizens ( who could only be male ) . This was despite the fact that after The March on Versailles on 5 October 1789 , women presented the Women 's Petition to the National Assembly in which they proposed a decree giving women equal rights . In 1790 , Nicolas de Condorcet and Etta Palm d'Aelders unsuccessfully called on the National Assembly to extend civil and political rights to women .", "6": "Condorcet declared that `` he who votes against the right of another , whatever the religion , color , or sex of that other , has henceforth abjured his own '' . The French Revolution did not lead to a recognition of women 's rights and this prompted Olympe de Gouges to publish the Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen in September 1791 . The Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen is modeled on the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen and is ironic in formulation and exposes the failure of the French Revolution , which had been devoted to equality . It states that : `` This revolution will only take effect when all women become fully aware of their deplorable condition , and of the rights , they have lost in society '' . The Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen follows the seventeen articles of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen point for point and has been described by Camille Naish as `` almost a parody ... of the original document '' . The first article of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen proclaims that `` Men are born and remain free and equal in rights . Social distinctions may be based only on common utility . '' The first article of Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen replied : `` Woman is born free and remains equal to man in rights . Social distinctions may only be based on common utility '' . De Gouges also draws attention to the fact that under French law women were fully punishable , yet denied equal rights , declaring `` Women have the right to mount the scaffold , they must also have the right to mount the speaker 's rostrum '' . Slavery ( edit ) The declaration did not revoke the institution of slavery , as lobbied for by Jacques - Pierre Brissot 's Les Amis des Noirs and defended by the group of colonial planters called the Club Massiac because they met at the Hôtel Massiac . Despite the lack of explicit mention of slavery in the Declaration , slave uprisings in Saint - Domingue in the Haitian Revolution took inspiration from its words , as discussed in C.L.R. James ' history of the Haitian Revolution , The Black Jacobins .", "7": "Deplorable conditions for the thousands of slaves in Saint - Domingue , the most profitable slave colony in the world , led to the uprisings which would be known as the first successful slave revolt in the New World . Slavery in the French colonies was abolished by the Convention dominated by the Jacobins in 1794 . However , Napoleon reinstated it in 1802 . In 1804 , the colony of Saint - Domingue became an independent state , the Republic of Haiti . Legacy ( edit ) This section does not cite any sources .

( August 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Declaration has also influenced and inspired rights - based liberal democracy throughout the world . It was translated as soon as 1793 -- 1794 by Colombian Antonio Nariño , who published it despite the Inquisition and was sentenced to be imprisoned for ten years for doing so . In 2003 , the document was listed on UNESCO 's Memory of the World register . Constitution of the French Fifth Republic ( edit ) Main article : Constitution of the French Fifth Republic According to the preamble of the Constitution of the French Fifth Republic ( adopted on 4 October 1958 , and the current constitution ) , the principles set forth in the Declaration have constitutional value . Many laws and regulations have been canceled because they did not comply with those principles as interpreted by the Conseil Constitutionnel ( `` Constitutional Council of France '' ) or by the Conseil d'État ( `` Council of State '' ) . Taxation legislation or practices that seem to make some unwarranted difference between citizens are struck down as unconstitutional . Suggestions of positive discrimination on ethnic grounds are rejected because they infringe on the principle of equality since they would establish categories of people that would , by birth , enjoy greater rights .", "8": "See also ( edit ) Human rights in France Universality Other early declarations of rights ( edit ) Magna Carta ( England , 1215 ) Statute of Kalisz ( Poland , 1264 ) Henrician Articles and Pacta Conventa ( Poland , 1573 ) Petition of Right ( England , 1628 ) Bill of Rights ( England , 1689 ) Claim of Right ( Scotland , 1689 ) Bill of Rights ( United States , 1789 ) Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen of Franchimont ( modern - day Belgium , 1789 ) Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ The French title can be also translated as `` Declaration of Human and Civic Rights '' .

The NFL Thanksgiving logo used for 2016 ; the year is updated annually , with the new NFL shield being used for the first time in 2008 . The National Football League ( NFL ) on Thanksgiving Day is a traditional series of games played during the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States . It has been a regular occurrence since the league 's inception in 1920 . Currently , three NFL games are played every Thanksgiving . The first two are hosted by the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys ; a third game , with no fixed opponents , has been played annually since 2006 .

In that year , the college football teams at Yale and Princeton began an annual tradition of playing each other on Thanksgiving Day . The University of Michigan also made it a tradition to play annual Thanksgiving games , holding 19 such games from 1885 to 1905 .", "1": "The Thanksgiving Day games between Michigan and the Chicago Maroons in the 1890s have been cited as `` The Beginning of Thanksgiving Day Football . '' In some areas , high - school teams play on Thanksgiving , usually to wrap - up the regular - season . By the time football had become a professional event , playing on Thanksgiving had already become an institution . Records of pro football being played on Thanksgiving date back to as early as the 1890s , with the first pro -- am team , the Allegheny Athletic Association of Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania . In 1902 , the `` National '' Football League , a Major League Baseball - backed organization based entirely in Pennsylvania and unrelated to the current NFL , attempted to settle its championship over Thanksgiving weekend ; after the game ended in a tie , eventually all three teams in the league claimed to have won the title . Members of the Ohio League , during its early years , usually placed their marquee matchups on Thanksgiving Day . For instance , in 1905 and 1906 the Latrobe Athletic Association and Canton Bulldogs , considered at the time to be two of the best teams in professional football ( along with the Massillon Tigers ) , played on Thanksgiving . A rigging scandal with the Tigers leading up to the 1906 game led to severe drops in attendance for the Bulldogs and ultimately led to their suspension of operations . During the 1910s , the Ohio League stopped holding Thanksgiving games because many of its players coached high school teams and were unavailable . This was not the case in other regional circuits : in 1919 , the New York Pro Football League featured a Thanksgiving matchup between the Buffalo Prospects and the Rochester Jeffersons . The game ended in a scoreless tie , leading to a rematch the next Sunday for the league championship . Several other NFL teams played regularly on Thanksgiving in the first eighteen years of the league , including the Chicago Bears and Chicago Cardinals ( 1922 -- 33 ; the Bears played the Lions from 1934 to 1938 while the Cardinals switched to the Green Bay Packers for 1934 and 1935 ) , Frankford Yellow Jackets , Pottsville Maroons , Buffalo All - Americans , Canton Bulldogs ( even after the team moved to Cleveland they played the 1924 Thanksgiving game in Canton ) , and the New York Giants ( 1929 -- 38 , who always played a crosstown rival ) .", "2": "The first owner of the Lions , George A. Richards , started the tradition of the Thanksgiving Day game as a gimmick to get people to go to Lions football games , and to continue a tradition begun by the city 's previous NFL teams . What differentiated the Lions ' efforts from other teams that played on the holiday was that Richards owned radio station WJR , a major affiliate of the NBC Blue Network ; he was able to negotiate an agreement with NBC to carry his Thanksgiving games live across the network . During the Franksgiving controversy in 1939 and 1940 , the only two teams to play the game were the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles , as both teams were in the same state ( Pennsylvania ) . ( At the time , then - president Franklin Roosevelt wanted to move the holiday for economic reasons and many states were resistant to the move ; half the states recognized the move and the other half did not . This complicated scheduling for Thanksgiving games . Incidentally , the two teams were also exploring the possibility of a merger at the time . ) Because of the looming World War II and the resulting shorter seasons , the NFL did not schedule any Thanksgiving games in 1941 , nor did it schedule any in the subsequent years until the war ended in 1945 . When the Thanksgiving games resumed in 1945 , only the Lions ' annual home game would remain on the Thanksgiving holiday . In 1951 , the Packers began a thirteen - season run as the perpetual opponent to the Lions each year through 1963 . The All - America Football Conference and American Football League , both of which would later be absorbed into the NFL , also held Thanksgiving contests , although neither of those leagues had permanent hosts . Likewise , the AFL of 1926 also played two Thanksgiving games in its lone season of existence , while the AFL of 1936 hosted one in its first season , which featured the Cleveland Rams , a future NFL team , and the 1940 -- 41 incarnation of the American Football League played two games in 1940 on the earlier `` Franksgiving '' date . In 1966 , the Dallas Cowboys , who had been founded six years earlier , adopted the practice of hosting Thanksgiving games .", "3": "It is widely rumored that the Cowboys sought a guarantee that they would regularly host Thanksgiving games as a condition of their very first one ( since games on days other than Sunday were uncommon at the time and thus high attendance was not a certainty ) . This is only partly true ; Dallas had in fact decided to host games on Thanksgiving by their own decision because there was nothing else to do or watch on that day . In 1975 and 1977 , at the behest of then - Commissioner Pete Rozelle , the St. Louis Cardinals replaced Dallas as a host team ( Dallas then hosted St. Louis in 1976 ) . Although the Cardinals , at the time known as the `` Cardiac Cards '' due to their propensity for winning very close games , were a modest success at the time , they were nowhere near as popular nationwide as the Cowboys , who were regular Super Bowl contenders during this era . This , combined with St. Louis 's consistently weak attendance , a series of ugly Cardinals losses in the three - game stretch , and opposition from the Kirkwood -- Webster Groves Turkey Day Game ( a local high school football contest ) led to Dallas resuming regular hosting duties in 1978 ; it was then , after Rozelle asked Dallas to resume hosting Thanksgiving games , that the Cowboys requested ( and received ) an agreement guaranteeing the Cowboys a spot on Thanksgiving Day forever . Notwithstanding the aforementioned St. Louis - hosted games in 1975 and 1977 , the two `` traditional '' Thanksgiving Day pro football games since the 1970 AFL -- NFL merger have then been in Detroit and Dallas . Because of TV network commitments in place through the 2013 season , to make sure that both the AFC - carrying network ( NBC from the 1970 merger to 1997 , and CBS since 1998 ) and the NFC - carrying network ( CBS from the 1970 merger to 1993 , and Fox since 1994 ) got at least one game each , one of these games was between NFC opponents , and one featured AFC - NFC opponents . Thus , the AFC could showcase only one team on Thanksgiving , and the AFC team was always the visiting team . Since 2006 , a third NFL game on Thanksgiving has been played at night . It originally aired on the NFL Network as part of its Thursday Night Football package until 2011 ; NBC began carrying the night game in 2012 .", "4": "The Thanksgiving night game has no fixed opponents or conferences , enabling the league to freely choose whatever marquee match - up to feature on that night . The 2012 changes also allowed both Dallas and Detroit in the future to offer NFC games ( one would be played at night ) , and CBS can offer a game with two AFC teams . In 2014 , the NFL added the cross-flex rule , allowing CBS to televise NFC away games , and Fox to broadcast AFC away games , under select circumstances on Sunday afternoons ; however , this did not cover the Thanksgiving contests . CBS also signed a separate contract to carry Thursday Night Football from the 2014 season onward , which allowed that network to carry games from either conference on Thursdays ; from that year through 2016 , CBS carried all - NFC contests every year on Thanksgiving , and in 2014 and 2015 , no AFC teams played in any of the Thanksgiving games . The NFL 's flexible scheduling rule currently does not apply for Thanksgiving games ; however , the NFL in theory could in the future apply the rule to change start times and networks for the three games . Throwback uniforms ( edit ) Since 2001 teams playing on Thanksgiving have worn throwback uniforms on numerous occasions . In some years ( namely 2002 ) , it extended to nearly all games of the weekend , and in some cases also involved classic field logos at the respective stadiums . In 2001 -- 2004 , and again in 2008 , 2010 , and 2017 the Detroit Lions have worn throwback uniforms based on their very early years . From 2001 to 2003 , Dallas chose to represent the 1990s Cowboys dynasty by wearing the navy `` Double - Star '' jersey not seen since 1995 . In 2004 , the team wore uniforms not seen since 1963 . In 2009 , to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the AFL , both Dallas and Oakland played in a `` AFL Legacy Game . '' In 2013 , the Cowboys intended to wear their 1960s throwbacks , but chose not to do so after the NFL adopted a new policy requiring players and teams to utilize only one helmet a season to address the league 's new concussion protocol ; rather than sport an incomplete throwback look , the Cowboys instead wore their standard blue jerseys at home for the first time since 1963 .", "5": "In 2015 , the Cowboys resurrected their 1994 white `` Double - Star '' jerseys only this time wore them with white pants as part of the league 's `` Color Rush '' , a trial run of specially - designed , monochromatic jerseys to be worn during Thursday games . Memorable games ( edit ) 1920 : An urban legend states that the Chicago Tigers and Decatur Staleys challenged each other to a Thanksgiving duel , in Chicago , in the league 's inaugural season , with the loser being relegated out of the league at the end of the season , purportedly explaining why the Tigers were the only NFL team to fold after the 1920 season ( no other team would fold until 1921 ) . The claims of it being a duel are unsubstantiated and no evidence exists that the Tigers were ever officially league members ; nevertheless , the Tigers , after a 27 -- 0 win over the non-league Thorn Tornadoes the next week , never played football again . The Staleys would move to Chicago during the next season , later renaming themselves the Bears . 1921 : In a matchup of two of the league 's best teams , the Staleys lose to the Buffalo All - Americans at home . The Staleys demand a rematch , with Buffalo agreeing to a December match only on the terms of it being considered an off - the - record exhibition game . That later match , which Chicago won , ended up counting despite the All - Americans ' insistence , controversially handing Chicago the championship . 1952 : The Dallas Texans are forced to move their lone remaining home game to the Rubber Bowl in Akron , Ohio as the undercard to a high school football contest . Their opponent for that game , the Chicago Bears , underestimated the then - winless Texans and sent their second string team to the game ; the Texans scored a 27 -- 23 upset over the Bears for their only win of their existence . 1962 : The Lions handed the 10 -- 0 Green Bay Packers their lone defeat of the season . 1964 -- 65 : The 1964 and 1965 AFL contests featured the Buffalo Bills and San Diego Chargers , the two teams that would eventually meet in those years ' American Football League Championship Games .", "6": "1974 : Unknown Cowboys backup quarterback Clint Longley took over for an injured Roger Staubach with the team down 16 -- 3 and rallied them to an improbable victory over Washington on two deep passes . 1976 : The Bills offense put forth one of the best and the worst performances in Thanksgiving history . O.J. Simpson set the NFL record for most rushing yards in a single game , with 273 . However , Bills backup quarterback Gary Marangi completed only 4 of 21 pass attempts , for 29 yards passing , and a rating of 19.7 . The Lions defeated the Bills 27 - 14 . 1980 : With the Lions and Bears tied 17 - 17 at the end of regulation , the game went to overtime , the first Thanksgiving game to do so ( overtime was not added to the NFL regular season until 1974 ) , and the first overtime game at the Silverdome . Bears running back Dave Williams returned the fifth - quarter opening kickoff 95 yards for a game - winning touchdown , ending the shortest overtime period in NFL history at the time . 1986 : The Lions and the Packers had the highest scoring game in Thanksgiving history . It was the best day of receiver Walter Stanley 's career ; Stanley netted 207 all - purpose yards and three touchdowns , including an 83 - yard punt return to win the game for Green Bay , 44 -- 40 . Stanley had an otherwise undistinguished career in the NFL . 1989 : Known as the `` Bounty Bowl '' , the Eagles crushed the Cowboys by a score of 27 -- 0 . Allegations surfaced that the Eagles had placed a bounty on the Cowboys kicker , thus becoming the first of a string of three bitterly contested games between the two teams , the other two being Bounty Bowl II and the Porkchop Bowl a year later . 1993 : In one of the more famous Thanksgiving Day games in recent history , the Cowboys led the Dolphins 14 -- 13 with just seconds remaining in a rare , snow - filled Texas Stadium . Miami 's Pete Stoyanovich attempted a game winning 40 - yard field goal that was blocked by the Cowboys ' Jimmie Jones . Dick Enberg of NBC proclaimed `` The Cowboys will win . ''", "7": "Indeed , since the kick landed beyond the line of scrimmage , once the ball stopped moving the play would be declared dead and Dallas would gain possession . However , the ball landed and began spinning on its tip , leading Cowboys lineman Leon Lett to try to gain possession . Lett slipped , fell , and knocked the ball forward . By rule , the ball was live and the Dolphins fell on it at the two yard line . With the recovery , Stoyanovich got a second chance to win the game and hit the much shorter field goal . The Dolphins won 16 -- 14 . 1994 : Troy Aikman was injured and third - string quarterback Jason Garrett was forced to start for Dallas against the Green Bay Packers . The Cowboys won a 42 -- 31 shoot - out against Brett Favre . 1998 : In another controversial Thanksgiving Day game , the Steelers and Lions went to overtime tied 16 -- 16 . Pittsburgh 's Jerome Bettis called the coin toss in the air , but head referee Phil Luckett awarded Detroit the ball after Bettis tried to call both heads and tails at the same time . The Lions went on to kick a field goal on the first possession , winning 19 -- 16 . As a result of the fiasco , team captains are now required to call the coin toss before the coin is tossed , and a later rule change now prevents teams from automatically winning a game by scoring a field goal on the first possession . The day also saw a memorable performance by the Minnesota Vikings in a 46 -- 36 win over the Dallas Cowboys as Vikings rookie Randy Moss caught three touchdowns , all of over 50 yards . 2008 : The 10 -- 1 Titans routed the 0 -- 11 Lions by a score of 47 -- 10 , one of the most lopsided results in history on Thanksgiving . The Lions would go on to finish the season 0 -- 16 . 2011 : The trio of games was lauded as one of the better Thanksgiving Day slates of games in NFL history . The night game between Baltimore and San Francisco pitted head coaches and brothers John and Jim Harbaugh against each other -- a preview of Super Bowl XLVII .", "8": "2012 : The prime time contest became infamous for the `` Butt fumble '' , an incident in which Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez ran headfirst into the buttocks of his own offensive lineman . He subsequently fumbled the ball ; it was recovered by New England , who returned it for a touchdown . In the earlier game , one of the NFL 's most infamous rule changes came when former Lions coach Jim Schwartz challenged a play in which Texans running back Justin Forsett 's knee clearly touched the ground before sprinting for an 81 - yard touchdown . Referee Walt Coleman stated that , by rule , scoring plays are automatically reviewed and the play was not challengeable by a coach . Because of the improper attempted challenge , the review was cancelled and Coleman assessed a 15 - yard kickoff penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct . The NFL then passed a new rule that stated that if a coach attempted to challenge a play that is automatically reviewed , the review would continue . It was called the ' Jim Schwartz rule ' . Home team controversy ( edit ) It has remained a tradition for Dallas and Detroit to host the afternoon games dating back several decades . However , in recent years , other teams have expressed interest in hosting Thanksgiving games . Lamar Hunt , the former owner of the Chiefs ( who had hosted Thanksgiving games from 1967 -- 69 as an AFL team prior to the merger ) , lobbied heavily in favor of his team hosting a game on the holiday . When the NFL adopted a third , prime time game , the Chiefs were selected as the first team to host such a contest , but the team was not made a permanent host , and Hunt 's death shortly after the 2006 contest ended the lobbying on behalf of that team . The host issue came to a head in 2008 , focusing particularly on the winless Lions . Going into the game , Detroit had lost their last four Thanksgiving games , and opinions amongst the media had suggested removing Detroit and replacing them with a more attractive matchup . The team also required an extension to prevent a local television blackout . The Lions were routed by Tennessee 47 -- 10 , en route to the team 's 0 -- 16 season . NFL commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed that the Lions would stay on Thanksgiving for the 2009 season , but kept the issue open to revisit in the future .", "9": "Conversely , the Dallas Cowboys , who typically represent a larger television draw , have had much fewer public calls to be replaced on Thanksgiving . One issue that has been debated is a perceived unfair advantage of playing at home on Thanksgiving . The advantage is given in the form of an extra day of practice for the home team while the road team has to travel to the game site . This is true for most Thursday games , but with the night games , the visitor can travel to the game site after practice and hold the final walk - thru the following morning . With the introduction of the prime time game , which effectively allows all teams in the league an opportunity to play on Thanksgiving , along with the introduction of year - long Thursday Night Football ensuring all teams have one Thursday game during the regular season ( thus negating any on - field advantages or disadvantages to being selected for Thanksgiving ) , the calls for Detroit and Dallas to be removed have curtailed . Game results ( edit ) ( Winning teams are denoted by boldface type ; tie games are italicized . ) 1920 -- 1940 ( edit ) All three of the generally recognized iterations of the American Football League that played during this era ( AFL I in 1926 , AFL II in 1936 and AFL III in 1940 ) played Thanksgiving games , which are also listed as indicated . Non-NFL team games between league teams and non league teams counted in the 1920 standings . The All - Tonawanda Lumberjacks later joined the league as the Tonawanda Kardex , albeit only for one game . Thanksgiving fell on the final Thursday in November until 1938 and was held on two conflicting days from 1939 to 1941 .

The two afternoon games were held at Detroit ( 12 : 30 p.m. EST ) and Dallas ( 4 : 15 p.m. EST ) , respectively . Detroit always hosts the `` early '' game because a 12 : 30 p.m.", "15": "EST kick - off at Dallas would be 11 : 30 a.m. local time ( CST ) , and the NFL avoids starting games before noon locally . The two games rotate annually as intra-conference ( NFC vs. NFC ) and inter-conference ( AFC vs. NFC ) games . This is to satisfy the television contract balance between CBS ( which broadcasts games in which the visiting team is from the AFC ) and Fox ( which broadcasts games in which the visiting team is from the NFC ) . The `` early '' game kicks off at a special time of 12 : 30 p.m. EST as opposed to the typical afternoon start time of 1 p.m. This provides an additional 30 minutes to prevent overlapping of the `` late '' game , and also gave the network time for a pregame show and some additional time for an expanded halftime show ( selected years ) . When Fox carries the `` early '' game , they typically start their pregame coverage ( Fox NFL Sunday ) at 11 : 30 a.m. ( with the addition of Fox NFL Kickoff to the Fox lineup , its pregame will begin at 10 : 30 a.m. for 2015 ) . When CBS carries the `` early '' game , they start their pregame coverage ( The NFL Today ) at 12 : 00 p.m. , due to the fact that their morning parade coverage runs until noon . The network with the 4 : 15 `` late '' game begins pregame coverage at 3 : 30 p.m. EST . Dallas was replaced by the St. Louis Cardinals as a host team in 1975 and 1977 ; Dallas and St. Louis faced each other at Texas Stadium in 1976 . Because of the Missouri Turkey Day Game , the long - established Kirkwood -- Webster Groves high school football game that takes place on Thanksgiving in St. Louis , weak fan support in St. Louis , and general national preference of the Cowboys over the historically weaker Cardinals , the Cardinals ' hosting of the Thanksgiving game was not popular . Dallas returned to hosting the game in 1978 and has hosted since . Likewise , the Rams never played on Thanksgiving while in St.", "16": "Louis , in part because of the Turkey Day Game and also because the Missouri State High School Activities Association has held its state football championship games on Thanksgiving weekend at The Dome at America 's Center since 1996 . Since the time NFL began its current alignment in 2002 , no team from the AFC North can play a Thanksgiving Day game against the traditional hosts . This is because under the current rotation , the Cowboys and the Lions each play AFC North teams in years that FOX is scheduled to broadcast its Thanksgiving Day game , requiring an NFC opponent . To date , the last game to feature a team currently in the AFC North was the Lions matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1998 . AFC North teams can play in the prime time game , as the Cincinnati Bengals did in 2010 .

Current plans call for the various NFL teams ( other than the Lions and Cowboys ) to take turns hosting the night game on a rotation basis . In 2006 , Kansas City hosted the first prime time Thanksgiving game . The game marked a new `` Thanksgiving Tripleheader '' tradition . The Denver / Kansas City game marked the first time more than two games were played on Thanksgiving ( as well as the first all - AFC holiday matchup ) since the AFL -- NFL merger in 1970 . Rule changes in the 2012 -- 2022 television contracts permit `` cross flexing '' , whereby selected games can be switched between CBS and FOX , effectively allowing CBS to schedule an NFC vs. NFC matchup on Thanksgiving Day rather than an AFC at NFC game . The 2014 season was the first in which all three games feature NFC vs. NFC opponents under these rules ; the league again scheduled an all - NFC Thanksgiving for 2015 .

Jacksonville Jaguars None 0 0 -- Only active franchise to have never played on Thanksgiving . Notable appearance droughts ( edit ) The last currently active franchise to have never played on Thanksgiving through 2017 is the Jacksonville Jaguars , who joined the league in 1995 . An idiosyncrasy in the NFL 's current scheduling formula , which has been in effect since 2002 and revised in 2010 , effectively prevents teams from the AFC North from playing the Lions or Cowboys on Thanksgiving , as the formula has the AFC North playing in Dallas or Detroit in years when the other team is slated to play the AFC game on Thanksgiving . These teams can , under the 2014 television contracts , play only in the third ( night ) game ; should cross-flex be expanded to Thursdays or Fox win the Thursday Night contract in 2018 ( either scenario would allow both Fox and CBS to carry AFC games ) , this idiosyncrasy will be eliminated . The Los Angeles Rams have the longest active appearance drought of any team , with their last appearance coming in 1975 . Among current NFL markets , Cleveland has had the longest wait to have a team from its city play on Thanksgiving ; the Browns last appeared in 1989 , several years before being suspended in the Cleveland Browns relocation controversy , and have not appeared in the game since rejoining the league as an expansion team . Since 2010 , the league has made efforts to end the longest droughts . New Orleans , Cincinnati , Baltimore , Houston , and Carolina all played their first Thanksgiving games during this time frame . San Francisco likewise played their first Thanksgiving game since 1972 in 2011 , and the Los Angeles Chargers , who last played on the holiday in 1969 ( while the team was still an AFL franchise in San Diego ) before actually joining the league , appeared for the first time as an NFL member in 2017 .

Game MVPs ( edit ) Since 1989 , informal and sometimes lighthearted Man of the Match awards have been issued by the networks broadcasting the respective games . Running back Emmitt Smith holds the record for most Thanksgiving MVPs with five ( 1990 , 1992 , 1994 , 1996 and 2002 ) . Voting on the respective awards is typically done informally by the announcing crew themselves , and criteria are loose . Noteworthy statistical accomplishments weigh heavily , and `` group '' awards are common . The announcement of the winner ( s ) , and the presentation of the award is normally done immediately following the game , during post-game network coverage . Turkey Leg award ( CBS & Fox ) ( edit ) In 1989 , John Madden of CBS awarded the first `` Turkey Leg Award '' , for the game 's most valuable player . Pursuant to its name , it was an actual cooked turkey leg , and players typically took a celebratory bite out of the leg for the cameras during post-game interviews . Reggie White of the Eagles was the first recipient . The gesture was seen mostly as a humorous gimmick relating to Madden 's famous multi-legged turkey , cooked and delivered by local restaurant owner Joe Pat Fieseler of Harvey 's Barbecue ( located less than a mile from Texas Stadium ) . Since then , however , the award has gained subtle notoriety . Madden brought the award to FOX in 1994 , and it continued through 2001 .", "25": "Because of the loose and informal nature of the award , at times it has been awarded to multiple players . On one occasion in 1994 , it was given to players of both teams . Galloping Gobbler / game ball ( Fox ) ( edit ) When John Madden left FOX after 2001 , the network introduced a new award starting in 2002 , named the `` Galloping Gobbler . '' It was represented by a small figurine of a silver turkey wearing a football helmet striking a Heisman - like pose . Much like Cleatus and Digger , the original Galloping Gobbler trophy reflected Fox 's irreverent mascots , and went through several iterations . Unimpressed by its tackiness , 2002 winner Emmitt Smith ( who holds the record for most Thanksgiving MVP awards and had won the Turkey Leg Award four previous times ) famously threw his in a trash can . In 2007 , the kitschy statuette was replaced with a bronze - colored statue of a nondescript turkey holding a football . In 2011 , the trophies were discarded altogether and replaced by an attractive plaque . Unlike the aforementioned `` Turkey Leg Award '' , the `` Galloping Gobbler '' is normally awarded to only one player annually , however in 2016 , co-winners were honored . For 2017 , the Galloping Gobbler was permanently retired , and replaced with the `` Game Ball , '' an stylish , ornate football - shaped trophy , reminiscent of the tradition where game - used balls are typically awarded to players of the game . No one at Fox seemed to notice the first ball awarded has the stripe markings of a college ball . All - Iron award ( CBS ) ( edit ) When the NFL returned to CBS in 1998 , they introduced their own award , the `` All - Iron Award '' , which is , suitably enough , a small silver iron , a reference to Phil Simms ' All - Iron team for toughness . The All - Iron winner also receives a skillet of blackberry cobbler made by Simms ' mother . Through 2006 , the trophy was only awarded to one player annually . Occasionally , it has been issued as a `` group award '' in addition to a single player award .", "26": "In 2008 , Simms stated it was `` too close to call '' and named four players to the trophy ; he then gave the award to several people every year until 2013 , after which he reverted to a single MVP in 2014 . Simms was removed from the broadcast booth for the 2017 season and no player of the game was chosen that year . Prime time games ( nfln & NBC ) ( edit ) During the time when NFL Network held the broadcast rights the prime time game , from 2007 to 2011 they gave out the `` Pudding Pie Award '' for MVPs . The award was an actual pie . In 2009 , NFL Network gave Brandon Marshall a pumpkin pie rather than the chocolate pudding pie of the previous two years . NBC , which carried Thanksgiving afternoon games through 1997 , did not issue an MVP award during that time . NBC began broadcasting the Thanksgiving prime time game in 2012 , at which point the MVP award was added . The award is currently called the Sunday Night Football on Thanksgiving Night Player of the Game , and is typically awarded to multiple players on the winning team . From 2012 to 2015 , the NBC award was referred to as the `` Madden Thanksgiving Player - of - the - Game '' , honoring John Madden ( who announced NBC games from 2006 to 2008 ) . In the first few years , the award specifically went to players on both offense and defense , but in recent years , defensive players have not necessarily been recognized . The winning players are presented with ceremonial game balls and , as a gesture to Madden , a cooked turkey leg .", "27": "Complete list ( edit ) CBS Turkey Leg Award Year MVP ( Team ) 1989 Reggie White ( Phi ) 1990 Troy Aikman & Emmitt Smith ( Dal ) 1991 Barry Sanders ( Det ) 1992 Emmitt Smith & Cowboys Offensive line 1993 Richard Dent ( Chi ) CBS All - Iron Award 1998 Stephen Boyd ( Det ) 1999 Dexter Coakley ( Dal ) 2000 Charlie Batch ( Det ) 2001 Mike Anderson ( Den ) 2002 Troy Brown ( NE ) 2003 Jay Fiedler & Chris Chambers ( Mia ) Peyton Manning & Colts Offensive line 2005 Ron Dayne ( Den ) 2006 Joey Harrington ( Mia ) 2007 Tony Romo & Cowboys defense * 2008 Albert Haynesworth ( Ten ) Chris Johnson ( Ten ) Kevin Mawae ( Ten ) LenDale White ( Ten ) 2009 Miles Austin ( Dal ) Tony Romo ( Dal ) Jason Witten ( Dal ) Tom Brady ( NE ) 2011 DeMarcus Ware ( Dal ) 2012 Andre Johnson ( Hou ) Matt Schaub ( Hou ) J.J.

Broadcasting ( edit ) DuMont was the first network to televise Thanksgiving games in 1953 ; CBS took over in 1956 , and in 1965 , the first ever color television broadcast of an NFL game was the Thanksgiving match between the Lions and the Baltimore Colts . Starting in 2012 , all three broadcast networks with NFL rights will carry one game apiece . The first two games are split between CBS and Fox . These games are rotated annually , with CBS getting the 12 : 30 p.m. ( EST ) `` early '' game , and Fox getting the 4 : 25 p.m. `` late '' game in even - numbered years , while Fox likewise gets the `` early '' game and CBS the `` late '' game in odd - numbered years . The third game , with a prime time 8 : 30 p.m. start , is carried by NBC . The NFL may involve the Flexible Scheduling rule in the future to reassign games if the night game has less importance than the Dallas or Detroit game . Westwood One holds national radio broadcast rights to all three games , with Compass Media Networks sharing rights to the Cowboys contest . ( Under league rules , only radio stations that carry at least 12 Cowboys games in a season are allowed to carry the Compass broadcast . ) The participating teams also air the games on their local flagship stations and regional radio networks .", "30": "The Cowboys Thanksgiving game has regularly been the most watched NFL regular season telecast each year , with the Lions Thanksgiving game usually in the top five .

The work , which is attributed to the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu ( `` Master Sun '' , also spelled Sunzi ) , is composed of 13 chapters . Each one is devoted to a distinct aspect of warfare and how that applies to military strategy and tactics .", "1": "For almost 1,500 years it was the lead text in an anthology that would be formalised as the Seven Military Classics by Emperor Shenzong of Song in 1080 . The Art of War remains the most influential strategy text in East Asia . It has a profound influence on Eastern and Western military thinking , business tactics , legal strategy and beyond . The book was first translated and published into French in 1772 ( re-published in 1782 ) by the Jesuit Jean Joseph Marie Amiot and a partial translation into English was attempted by British officer Everard Ferguson Calthrop in 1905 under the title The Book of War . The first annotated English translation was completed and published by Lionel Giles in 1910 . Numerous military and political leaders such as Mao Zedong , Võ Nguyên Giáp , and Norman Schwarzkopf , Jr. have drawn inspiration from the work .

Sima Qian 's 1st century BC work Records of the Grand Historian ( Shiji ) , the first of China 's 24 dynastic histories , records an early Chinese tradition stating that a text on military matters was written by a `` Sun Wu '' from the State of Qi , and that this text had been read and studied by King Helü of Wu ( r . 514 -- 495 BC ) . This text was traditionally identified with the received Master Sun 's Art of War .", "2": "The conventional view , which is still widely held in China , was that Sun Wu was a military theorist from the end of the Spring and Autumn period ( 776 -- 471 BC ) who fled his home state of Qi to the southeastern kingdom of Wu , where he is said to have impressed the king with his ability to train even dainty palace ladies in warfare and to have made Wu 's armies powerful enough to challenge their western rivals in the state of Chu . The prominent strategist , poet , and warlord Cao Cao in the early 3rd century AD authored the earliest known commentary to the Art of War . Cao 's preface makes clear that he edited the text and removed certain passages , but the extent of his changes were unclear historically . The Art of War appears throughout the bibliographical catalogs of the Chinese dynastic histories , but listings of its divisions and size varied widely . In the early 20th century , the Chinese writer and reformer Liang Qichao , theorized that the text was actually written in the 4th century BC by Sunzi 's purported descendant Sun Bin , as a number of historical sources mention a military treatise he wrote . Authorship ( edit ) Around the 12th century , some scholars began to doubt the historical existence of Sunzi , primarily on the grounds that he is not mentioned in the historical classic The Commentary of Zuo ( Zuo zhuan 左 傳 ) , which mentions most of the notable figures from the Spring and Autumn period . The name `` Sun Wu '' ( 孫武 ) does not appear in any text prior to the Records of the Grand Historian , and has been suspected to be a made - up descriptive cognomen meaning `` the fugitive warrior '' : the surname `` Sun '' is glossed as the related term `` fugitive '' ( xùn 遜 ) , while `` Wu '' is the ancient Chinese virtue of `` martial , valiant '' ( wǔ 武 ) , which corresponds to Sunzi 's role as the hero 's doppelgänger in the story of Wu Zixu . Unlike Sun Wu , Sun Bin appears to have been an actual person who was a genuine authority on military matters , and may have been the inspiration for the creation of the historical figure `` Sunzi '' through a form of euhemerism .", "3": "Yinqueshan tomb discovery ( edit ) In 1972 , the Yinqueshan Han slips were discovered in two Han dynasty ( 206 BC -- AD 220 ) tombs near the city of Linyi in Shandong Province . Among the many bamboo slip writings contained in the tombs , which had been sealed around 134 and 118 BC , respectively were two separate texts , one attributed to `` Sunzi '' , corresponding to the received text , and another attributed to Sun Bin , which explains and expands upon the earlier The Art of War by Sunzi . The Sun Bin text 's material overlaps with much of the `` Sunzi '' text , and the two may be `` a single , continuously developing intellectual tradition united under the Sun name '' . This discovery showed that much of the historical confusion was due to the fact that there were two texts that could have been referred to as `` Master Sun 's Art of War '' , not one . The content of the earlier text is about one - third of the chapters of the modern The Art of War , and their text matches very closely . It is now generally accepted that the earlier The Art of War was completed sometime between 500 and 450 BC . The 13 chapters ( edit ) The Art of War is divided into 13 chapters ( or piān ) ; the collection is referred to as being one zhuàn ( `` whole '' or alternatively `` chronicle '' ) . The Art of War chapter names in translations by Giles , Wing , Sawyer , and Chow - Hou Chapter Lionel Giles ( 1910 ) R.L.", "4": "Wing ( 1988 ) Ralph D. Sawyer ( 1996 ) Chow - Hou Wee ( 2003 ) Laying Plans The Calculations Initial Estimations Detail Assessment and Planning ( Chinese : 始 計 ) II Waging War The Challenge Waging War Waging War ( Chinese : 作戰 ) III Attack by Stratagem The Plan of Attack Planning Offensives Strategic Attack ( Chinese : 謀 攻 ) IV Tactical Dispositions Positioning Military Disposition Disposition of the Army ( Chinese : 軍 形 ) V Use of Energy Directing Strategic Military Power Forces ( Chinese : 兵 勢 ) VI Weak Points and Strong Illusion and Reality Vacuity and Substance Weaknesses and Strengths ( Chinese : 虛實 ) VII Maneuvering an Army Engaging The Force Military Combat Military Maneuvers ( Chinese : 軍 爭 ) VIII Variation of Tactics The Nine Variations Nine Changes Variations and Adaptability ( Chinese : 九 變 ) IX The Army on the March Moving The Force Maneuvering the Army Movement and Development of Troops ( Chinese : 行軍 ) X Classification of Terrain Situational Positioning Configurations of Terrain Terrain ( Chinese : 地形 ) XI The Nine Situations The Nine Situations Nine Terrains The Nine Battlegrounds ( Chinese : 九 地 ) XII Attack by Fire The Fiery Attack Incendiary Attacks Attacking with Fire ( Chinese : 火 攻 ) XIII Use of Spies The Use of Intelligence Employing Spies Intelligence and Espionage ( Chinese : 用 間 ) Chapter summary ( edit ) The beginning of The Art of War in a classical bamboo book from the reign of the Qianlong Emperor Detail Assessment and Planning ( Chinese : 始 計 ) explores the five fundamental factors ( the Way , seasons , terrain , leadership , and management ) and seven elements that determine the outcomes of military engagements . By thinking , assessing and comparing these points , a commander can calculate his chances of victory .", "5": "Habitual deviation from these calculations will ensure failure via improper action . The text stresses that war is a very grave matter for the state and must not be commenced without due consideration . Waging War ( Chinese : 作戰 ) explains how to understand the economy of warfare and how success requires winning decisive engagements quickly . This section advises that successful military campaigns require limiting the cost of competition and conflict . Strategic Attack ( Chinese : 謀 攻 ) defines the source of strength as unity , not size , and discusses the five factors that are needed to succeed in any war . In order of importance , these critical factors are : Attack , Strategy , Alliances , Army and Cities . Disposition of the Army ( Chinese : 軍 形 ) explains the importance of defending existing positions until a commander is capable of advancing from those positions in safety . It teaches commanders the importance of recognizing strategic opportunities , and teaches not to create opportunities for the enemy . Forces ( Chinese : 兵 勢 ) explains the use of creativity and timing in building an army 's momentum . Weaknesses and Strengths ( Chinese : 虛實 ) explains how an army 's opportunities come from the openings in the environment caused by the relative weakness of the enemy and how to respond to changes in the fluid battlefield over a given area . Military Maneuvers ( Chinese : 軍 爭 ) explains the dangers of direct conflict and how to win those confrontations when they are forced upon the commander . Variations and Adaptability ( Chinese : 九 變 ) focuses on the need for flexibility in an army 's responses . It explains how to respond to shifting circumstances successfully . Movement and Development of Troops ( Chinese : 行軍 ) describes the different situations in which an army finds itself as it moves through new enemy territories , and how to respond to these situations . Much of this section focuses on evaluating the intentions of others . Terrain ( Chinese : 地形 ) looks at the three general areas of resistance ( distance , dangers and barriers ) and the six types of ground positions that arise from them . Each of these six field positions offers certain advantages and disadvantages .", "6": "The Nine Battlegrounds ( Chinese : 九 地 ) describes the nine common situations ( or stages ) in a campaign , from scattering to deadly , and the specific focus that a commander will need in order to successfully navigate them . Attacking with Fire ( Chinese : 火 攻 ) explains the general use of weapons and the specific use of the environment as a weapon . This section examines the five targets for attack , the five types of environmental attack and the appropriate responses to such attacks . Intelligence and Espionage ( Chinese : 用 間 ) focuses on the importance of developing good information sources , and specifies the five types of intelligence sources and how to best manage each of them . Quotations ( edit ) Chinese ( edit ) Verses from the book occur in modern daily Chinese idioms and phrases , such as the last verse of Chapter 3 : 故 曰 : 知 彼 知己 , 百戰不殆 ; 不知 彼 而 知己 , 一 勝一 負 ; 不知 彼 , 不 知己 , 每 戰 必 殆 . So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself , you will not be put at risk even in a hundred battles . If you only know yourself , but not your opponent , you may win or may lose . If you know neither yourself nor your enemy , you will always endanger yourself . This has been more tersely interpreted and condensed into the Chinese modern proverb : 知己知彼 , 百戰不殆 . ( Zhī jǐ zhī bǐ , bǎi zhàn bù dài . ) If you know both yourself and your enemy , you can win numerous ( literally , `` a hundred '' ) battles without jeopardy . English ( edit ) Common examples can also be found in English use , such as verse 18 in Chapter 1 : 兵 者 , 詭道 也. 故 能 而 示 之 不能 , 用 而 示 之 不用 , 近 而 示 之 遠 , 遠 而 示 之 近 . All warfare is based on deception .", "7": "Hence , when we are able to attack , we must seem unable ; when using our forces , we must appear inactive ; when we are near , we must make the enemy believe we are far away ; when far away , we must make him believe we are near . This has been abbreviated to its most basic form and condensed into the English modern proverb : All warfare is based on deception . Military and intelligence applications ( edit ) In many East Asian countries , The Art of War was part of the syllabus for potential candidates of military service examinations . Various translations are available . During the Sengoku period in Japan , a daimyō named Takeda Shingen ( 1521 -- 1573 ) is said to have become almost invincible in all battles without relying on guns , because he studied The Art of War . The book even gave him the inspiration for his famous battle standard `` Fūrinkazan '' ( Wind , Forest , Fire and Mountain ) , meaning fast as the wind , silent as a forest , ferocious as fire and immovable as a mountain . The translator Samuel B. Griffith offers a chapter on `` Sun Tzu and Mao Tse - Tung '' where The Art of War is cited as influencing Mao 's On Guerrilla Warfare , On the Protracted War and Strategic Problems of China 's Revolutionary War , and includes Mao 's quote : `` We must not belittle the saying in the book of Sun Wu Tzu , the great military expert of ancient China , ' Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a thousand battles without disaster . '' During the Vietnam War , some Vietcong officers studied The Art of War and reportedly could recite entire passages from memory . General Võ Nguyên Giáp successfully implemented tactics described in The Art of War during the Battle of Dien Bien Phu ending major French involvement in Indochina and leading to the accords which partitioned Vietnam into North and South . General Võ , later the main PVA military commander in the Vietnam War , was an avid student and practitioner of Sun Tzu 's ideas . America 's defeat there , more than any other event , brought Sun Tzu to the attention of leaders of American military theory . Finnish Field Marshal Mannerheim and general Aksel Airo were avid readers of Art of War .", "8": "They both read it in French ; Airo kept the French translation of the book on his bedside table in his quarters . The Department of the Army in the United States , through its Command and General Staff College , lists The Art of War as one example of a book that may be kept at a military unit 's library . The Art of War is listed on the Marine Corps Professional Reading Program ( formerly known as the Commandant 's Reading List ) . It is recommended reading for all United States Military Intelligence personnel . According to some authors , the strategy of deception from The Art of War was studied and widely used by the KGB : `` I will force the enemy to take our strength for weakness , and our weakness for strength , and thus will turn his strength into weakness '' . The book is widely cited by KGB officers in charge of disinformation operations in Vladimir Volkoff 's novel Le Montage . Application outside the military ( edit ) The Art of War has been applied to many fields well outside of the military . Much of the text is about how to fight wars without actually having to do battle : It gives tips on how to outsmart one 's opponent so that physical battle is not necessary . As such , it has found application as a training guide for many competitive endeavors that do not involve actual combat . Many business books have applied the lessons taken from the book to office politics and corporate strategy . Many Japanese companies make the book required reading for their key executives . The book is also popular among Western business circles citing its utilitarian value regarding management practices . Many entrepreneurs and executives have turned to it for inspiration and advice on how to succeed in competitive business situations . The book has also been applied to the field of education . The Art of War has been the subject of legal books and legal articles on the trial process , including negotiation tactics and trial strategy . The Art of War has also been applied in the world of sports . National Football League coach Bill Belichick is known to have read the book and used its lessons to gain insights in preparing for games . Australian cricket as well as Brazilian association football coaches Luiz Felipe Scolari and Carlos Alberto Parreira are known to have embraced the text . Scolari made the Brazilian World Cup squad of 2002 study the ancient work during their successful campaign .", "9": "The Art of War is often quoted while developing tactics and / or strategy in Electronic Sports . Particularly , one of the fundamental books about e-sports , `` Play To Win '' by Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate David Sirlin , is actually just an analysis about possible applications of the ideas from The Art of War in modern Electronic Sports . The Art of War was released in 2014 as an e-book companion alongside the Art of War DLC for Europa Universalis IV , a PC strategy game by Paradox Development Studios , with a forward by Thomas Johansson .

The military related texts which were translated into Manchu from Chinese were translated by Dahai . Manchu translations of Chinese texts included the Ming penal code and military texts were performed by Dahai . These translations were requested of Dahai by Nurhaci . The military text Wu - tzu was translated into Manchu along with Sun - Tzu 's work The Art of War . Chinese history , Chinese law , and Chinese military theory classical texts were translated into Manchu during the rule of Hong Taiji in Mukden with Manchus placing significance upon military and governance related Chinese texts . A Manchu translation was made of the military themed Chinese novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms . Chinese literature , military theory and legal texts were translated into Manchu by Dahai and Erdeni . The translations were ordered in 1629 . The translation of the military texts San - lüeh , Su - shu , and the Ta Ming hui - tien ( the Ming law ) done by Dahai was ordered by Nurhaci . While it was mainly administrative and ethical guidance which made up most of San - lüeh and Su Shu , military science was indeed found in the Liu - t'ao and Chinese military manuals were eagerly translated by the Manchus and the Manchus were also attracted to the military content in Romance of the Three Kingdoms which is why it was translated .

Relief map of the Sinai Peninsula The Sinai Peninsula or simply Sinai ( / ˈsaɪnaɪ / ; Arabic : سيناء ‎ Sīnāʼ ; Egyptian Arabic : سينا ‎ Sīna , IPA : ( ˈsiːnæ ) ; Hebrew : סיני ‎ Sinai ; Coptic : ⲥⲓⲛⲁ ) is a peninsula in Egypt , the only part of the country located in Asia . It is situated between the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Red Sea to the south , and is a land bridge between Asia and Africa . Sinai has a land area of about 60,000 km ( 23,000 sq mi ) and a population of approximately 1,400,000 people . Administratively , the Sinai Peninsula is divided into two governorates : the South Sinai Governorate and the North Sinai Governorate . Three other governorates span the Suez Canal , crossing into African Egypt : Suez Governorate on the southern end of the Suez Canal , Ismailia Governorate in the center , and Port Said Governorate in the north . The Sinai Peninsula has been a part of Egypt from the First Dynasty of ancient Egypt ( c. 3100 BC ) . This comes in stark contrast to the region north of it , the Levant ( present - day territories of Syria , Lebanon , Jordan , Israel and Palestine ) , which , due largely to its strategic geopolitical location and cultural convergences , has historically been the centre of conflict between Egypt and various states of Mesopotamia and Asia Minor . In periods of foreign occupation , the Sinai was , like the rest of Egypt , also occupied and controlled by foreign empires , in more recent history the Ottoman Empire ( 1517 -- 1867 ) and the United Kingdom ( 1882 -- 1956 ) . Israel invaded and occupied Sinai during the Suez Crisis ( known in Egypt as the Tripartite Aggression due to the simultaneous coordinated attack by the UK , France and Israel ) of 1956 , and during the Six - Day War of 1967 .", "1": "On 6 October 1973 , Egypt launched the Yom Kippur War to retake the peninsula , which was the site of fierce fighting between Egyptian and Israeli forces . By 1982 , as a result of the Israel -- Egypt Peace Treaty of 1979 , Israel had withdrawn from all of the Sinai Peninsula except the contentious territory of Taba , which was returned after a ruling by a commission of arbitration in 1989 . Today , Sinai has become a tourist destination due to its natural setting , rich coral reefs , and biblical history . Mount Sinai is one of the most religiously significant places in the Abrahamic faiths .

However this assumption is contested . In addition to its formal name , Egyptians also refer to it as Arḍ ul - Fairūz ( أرض الفيروز `` the land of turquoise '' ) . The ancient Egyptians called it Ta Mefkat , or `` land of turquoise '' .", "2": "Geography ( edit ) Image from Gemini 11 spacecraft , featuring part of Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula in the foreground and the Levant in the background Sinai is triangular in shape , with northern shore lying on the southern Mediterranean Sea , and southwest and southeast shores on Gulf of Suez and Gulf of Aqaba of the Red Sea . It is linked to the African continent by the Isthmus of Suez , 125 kilometres ( 78 mi ) wide strip of land , containing the Suez Canal . The eastern isthmus , linking it to the Asian mainland , is around 200 kilometres ( 120 mi ) wide . The peninsula 's eastern shore separates the Arabian plate from the African plate . The southernmost tip is the Ras Muhammad National Park . Most of the Sinai Peninsula is divided among the two governorates of Egypt : South Sinai ( Ganub Sina ) and North Sinai ( Shamal Sina ) . Together , they comprise around 60,000 square kilometres ( 23,000 sq mi ) and have a population ( January 2013 ) of 597,000 . Three more governates span the Suez Canal , crossing into African Egypt : Suez ( el - Sewais ) is on the southern end of the Suez Canal , Ismailia ( el - Isma'ileyyah ) in the centre , and Port Said in the north . The largest city of Sinai is Arish , capital of the North Sinai , with around 160,000 residents . Other larger settlements include Sharm el - Sheikh and El - Tor , on the southern coast . Inland Sinai is arid , mountainous and sparsely populated , the largest settlements being Saint Catherine and Nekhel . Climate ( edit ) Sinai is one of the coldest provinces in Egypt because of its high altitudes and mountainous topographies . Winter temperatures in some of Sinai 's cities and towns reach − 16 ° C ( 3 ° F ) . History ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification .

The mines were worked intermittently and on a seasonal basis for thousands of years . Modern attempts to exploit the deposits have been unprofitable . These may be the first historically attested mines . Assyrian Period ( edit ) Achaemenid Persian period ( edit ) At the end of the time of Darius I , the Great ( 521 -- 486 BCE ) Sinai was part of the Persian province of Abar - Nahra , which means `` beyond the river ( Euphrates ) . Cambyses successfully managed the crossing of the hostile Sinai Desert , traditionally Egypt 's first and strongest line of defence , and brought the Egyptians under Psamtik III , son and successor of Ahmose , to battle at Pelusium . The Egyptians lost and retired to Memphis ; the city fell to the Persian control and the Pharaoh was carried off in captivity to Susa in mainland Persia . Hellenistic Period ( edit ) Roman and byzantine periods ( edit ) St. Catherine 's Monastery is the oldest working Christian monastery in the world and the most popular tourist attraction on the peninsula . After the death of the last Nabatean king , Rabbel II Soter , in 106 , the Roman emperor Trajan faced practically no resistance and conquered the kingdom on 22 March 106 . With this conquest , the Roman Empire went on to control all shores of the Mediterranean Sea . The Sinai Peninsula became part of the Roman province of Arabia Petraea . Saint Catherine 's Monastery on the foot of Mount Sinai was constructed by order of the Emperor Justinian between 527 and 565 . Most of the Sinai Peninsula became part of the province of Palaestina Salutaris in the 6th century . Early Muslim Period ( edit ) Ayyubid period ( edit ) During the Crusades it was under control of Fatimid Caliphate .", "4": "Later , Saladin abolished the Fatimid Caliphate in Egypt and took this region under his control too . It was the military route from Cairo to Damascus during the Crusades . Mamluk and Ottoman periods ( edit ) The peninsula was governed as part of Egypt under the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt from 1260 until 1517 , when the Ottoman Sultan , Selim the Grim , defeated the Egyptians at the Battles of Marj Dabiq and al - Raydaniyya , and incorporated Egypt into the Ottoman Empire . From then until 1906 , Sinai was administered by the Ottoman provincial government of the Pashalik of Egypt , even following the establishment of the Muhammad Ali Dynasty 's rule over the rest of Egypt in 1805 . The wilderness of Sinai , 1862 British control ( edit ) In 1906 , the Ottoman Porte formally transferred administration of Sinai to the Egyptian government , which essentially meant that it fell under the control of the United Kingdom , who had occupied and largely controlled Egypt since 1882 . The border imposed by the British runs in an almost straight line from Rafah on the Mediterranean shore to Taba on the Gulf of Aqaba . This line has served as the eastern border of Egypt ever since . Wars with Israel ( 1948 , 56 , 67 , 67 -- 70 , 73 ) ( edit ) Canadian and Panamanian UNEF UN peacekeepers in Sinai , 1974 At the beginning of the 1948 Arab -- Israeli War , Egyptian forces entered the former British Mandate of Palestine from Sinai to support Palestinian and other Arab forces against the newly declared State of Israel . For a period during the war , Israeli forces entered the north - eastern corner of Sinai . With the exception of Palestine 's Gaza Strip , which came under the administration of the All - Palestine Government , the western frontier of the former Mandate of Palestine became the Egyptian -- Israeli frontier under the 1949 Armistice Agreement . In 1958 , the Gaza Strip came under direct Egyptian military administration , though it was governed separately from Sinai , and was never annexed by Egypt . The Egyptian government maintained that Egyptian administration would be terminated upon the end of the conflict with Israel .", "5": "In 1956 , Egypt nationalised the Suez Canal , a waterway marking the boundary between Egyptian territory in Africa and the Sinai Peninsula . Thereafter , Israeli ships were prohibited from using the Canal , owing to the state of war between the two states . Egypt also prohibited ships from using Egyptian territorial waters on the eastern side of the peninsula to travel to and from Israel , effectively imposing a blockade on the Israeli port of Eilat . Subsequently , in what is known in Egypt as the Tripartite Aggression , Israeli forces , aided by Britain , and France ( which sought to reverse the nationalisation and regain control over the Suez Canal ) , invaded Sinai and occupied much of the peninsula within a few days . Several months later Israel withdrew its forces from Sinai , following strong pressure from the United States and the Soviet Union . Thereafter , the United Nations Emergency Force ( UNEF ) was stationed in Sinai to prevent any further conflict in the Sinai . In 1967 , Egypt reinforced its military presence in Sinai and on 16 May ordered the UNEF out of Sinai with immediate effect . Secretary - General U Thant eventually complied and ordered the withdrawal without Security Council authorisation . In the course of the Six - Day War that broke out shortly thereafter , Israel captured the entire Sinai Peninsula , and Gaza Strip from Egypt , the West Bank ( including East Jerusalem ) from Jordan ( which it had ruled since 1949 ) , and the Golan Heights from Syria . The Suez Canal , the east bank of which was now occupied by Israel , was closed . Israel commenced efforts at large scale Israeli settlement in the peninsula . Following the Israeli conquest of Sinai , Egypt launched the War of Attrition ( 1967 -- 70 ) aimed at forcing Israel to withdraw from Egyptian territory . The war saw protracted conflict in the Suez Canal Zone , ranging from limited to large scale combat . Israeli shelling of the cities of Port Said , Ismailia , and Suez on the west bank of the canal , led to high civilian casualties ( including the virtual destruction of Suez ) , and contributed to the flight of 700,000 Egyptian internal refugees . Ultimately , the war concluded in 1970 with no change in the front line .", "6": "On 6 October 1973 , Egypt commenced Operation Badr to retake the Sinai , while Syria launched a simultaneous operation to retake the Golan Heights , thereby beginning the Yom Kippur War ( known in Egypt as the October War ) . Egyptian engineering forces built pontoon bridges to cross the Suez Canal , and stormed the Bar - Lev Line , Israel 's defensive line along the canal . Though the Egyptians maintained control of most of the east bank of the Canal , in the later stages of the war , the Israeli military crossed the southern section of Canal , cutting off the Egyptian 3rd Army , and occupied a section of the west bank . The war ended following a mutually agreed - upon ceasefire . After the war , as part of the subsequent Sinai Disengagement Agreements , Israel withdrew from the Canal , with Egypt agreeing to permit passage of Israeli ships . The canal was reopened in 1975 , with President Sadat leading the first convoy through the canal aboard an Egyptian destroyer . 1979 peace treaty with Israel and aftermath ( edit ) Egypt - Israel border . Looking north from the Eilat Mountains In 1979 , Egypt and Israel signed a peace treaty in which Israel agreed to withdraw from the entirety of Sinai . Israel subsequently withdrew in several stages , ending in 1982 . The Israeli pull - out involved dismantling almost all Israeli settlements , including the settlement of Yamit in north - eastern Sinai . The exception was the coastal city of Sharm el - Sheikh , which the Israelis had founded as Ofira during the period of their occupation . The Treaty allows monitoring of Sinai by the Multinational Force and Observers , and limits the number of Egyptian military forces in the peninsula . Early 21st century Security issues ( edit ) Since the early 2000s , Sinai has been the site of several terror attacks against tourists , the majority of whom are Egyptian . Investigations have shown that these were mainly motivated by a resentment of the poverty faced by many Bedouin in the area . Attacking the tourist industry was viewed as a method of damaging the industry so that the government would pay more attention to their situation . ( See 2004 Sinai bombings , 2005 Sharm El Sheikh bombings and 2006 Dahab bombings ) .", "7": "Since the 2011 Egyptian Revolution , unrest has become more prevalent in the area including the 2012 Egyptian - Israeli border attack in which 16 Egyptian soldiers were killed by militants . ( See Sinai insurgency ) . Also on the rise are kidnappings of refugees . According to Meron Estifanos , Eritrean refugees are often kidnapped by Bedouin in the northern Sinai , tortured , raped , and only released after receiving a large ransom . Under President el - Sisi , Egypt has implemented a rigorous policy of controlling the border to the Gaza Strip , including the dismantling of tunnels between Gaza and Sinai . Demographics ( edit ) Two young Bedouins making bread in the desert The two governorates of North and South Sinai have a total population of 597,000 ( January 2013 ) . This figure rises to 1,400,000 by including Western Sinai , the parts of the Port Said , Ismailia and Suez Governorates lying east of the Suez Canal . Port Said alone has a population of roughly 500,000 people ( January 2013 ) . Portions of the populations of Ismailia and Suez live in west Sinai , while the rest live on the western side of the Suez Canal . Population of Sinai has largely consisted of desert - dwelling Bedouins with their colourful traditional costumes and significant culture . Large numbers of Egyptians from the Nile Valley and Delta moved to the area to work in tourism , but development adversely affected the native Bedouin population . In order to help alleviate their problems , various NGOs began to operate in the region , including the Makhad Trust , a UK charity that assists the Bedouin in developing a sustainable income while protecting Sinai 's natural environment , heritage and culture . Economy ( edit ) Dahab in Southern Sinai is a popular beach and diving resort See also : Tourism in Egypt Since the Israeli -- Egyptian peace treaty , Sinai 's scenic spots ( including coral reefs offshore ) and religious structures have become important to the tourism industry . The most popular tourist destination in Sinai are Mount Sinai ( Jabal Musa ) and St Catherine 's Monastery , which is considered to be the oldest working Christian monastery in the world , and the beach resorts of Sharm el - Sheikh , Dahab , Nuweiba and Taba .", "8": "Most tourists arrive at Sharm el - Sheikh International Airport , through Eilat , Israel and the Taba Border Crossing , by road from Cairo or by ferry from Aqaba in Jordan .

The Enterprise has been depicted in four network television series , six feature films , many books , and much fan - created media . The original Star Trek series ( 1966 -- 1969 ) features a voice - over by Enterprise captain , James T. Kirk ( William Shatner ) , which describes the mission of the Enterprise as `` to explore strange new worlds ; to seek out new life and new civilizations ; to boldly go where no man has gone before '' . The Enterprise is a Constitution class Heavy Cruiser that serves as a part of Starfleet , which is the United Federation of Planets ' space - borne peace - keeping force . It is capable of Interstellar travel and serves intermittently as both a patrol craft and as a deep - space exploration vessel . The ship 's components were built at the Starfleet Division of the San Francisco Navy Yards and assembled in orbit . The NCC - 1701 appears in the first three Star Trek films in a refitted configuration . The original starship was destroyed in Star Trek III : The Search for Spock and from then on was replaced with an identical starship , the NCC - 1701 - A .", "1": "The 2009 Star Trek film , which takes place in an alternate timeline , features a re-conceptualization of the original Enterprise . Contents ( hide ) 1 Origin and design 1.1 Original configuration 1.2 Refit configuration 1.3 2009 reboot 2 Depiction 3 Scientific and cultural impact 3.1 Science 3.2 Culture 4 Minutiae 5 References 6 External links Origin and design ( edit ) Original configuration ( edit ) The 11 - foot ( 3.4 m ) model donated by Paramount to the Smithsonian in 1974 Star Trek art director Matt Jefferies was the primary designer of the original Starship Enterprise . Jefferies ' experience with aviation led to his Enterprise designs being imbued with what he called `` aircraft logic '' . The final interior plans of the Enterprise were designed by Franz Joseph in 1974 , with approval from both Gene Roddenberry and Paramount Pictures , six years after Star Trek had been cancelled . The plans heavily referenced both episodes of Star Trek and Matt Jefferies ' design . The ship 's `` NCC - 1701 '' registry number stemmed from `` NC '' being one of the international aircraft registration codes assigned to the United States ; the second `` C '' was added as Soviet aircraft used `` CCCC '' and Matt Jeffries combined the two as he believed a venture into space would be a joint operation by the United States and Russia . According to The Making of Star Trek , `` NCC '' is the Starfleet abbreviation for `` Naval Construction Contract '' , comparable to what the U.S. Navy would call a hull number . The `` 1701 '' was chosen to avoid any possible ambiguity ; according to Jefferies , the numbers 3 , 6 , 8 , and 9 are `` too easily confused '' . Other sources cite it as a reference to the house across the street from where Roddenberry grew up , while another account gives it as the street address of Linwood Dunn . Jefferies ' own sketches provide the explanation that it was his 17th cruiser design with the first serial number of that series : 1701 .", "2": "The Making of Star Trek explains that `` USS '' should mean `` United Space Ship '' and that `` Enterprise is a member of the Starship Class '' . The ship 's class was officially changed to Constitution Class with the release of Franz Joseph 's Star Fleet Technical Manual in 1975 , even though all previous references identify it as Starship Class . The first miniature built for the pilot episode `` The Cage '' ( 1965 ) was unlit and approximately 33 inches ( 0.8 m ) long , commonly referred to as `` the three foot model '' . This model was constructed almost entirely of wood and was made by Richard C. Datin in his shop . It was eventually modified during the course of the series to match the changes made to the larger model before and after shooting of the second pilot , and appears on - set in `` Requiem for Methuselah '' ( 1969 ) after some damage sustained in storage had been partially repaired . The second miniature built for the original pilot measures 11 feet 2 inches ( 3.4 m ) long and was built by a small crew of model makers ( Volmer Jensen , Mel Keys and Vernon Sion ) supervised by Richard C. Datin , working out of Jensen 's model shop in Burbank , California ( although the larger base components were subcontracted to a shop with a large lathe ) . It was initially filmed by both Howard A. Anderson and Linwood G. Dunn at Dunn 's Film Effects of Hollywood facility , who also re-filmed later more - elaborate models of the ship , generating a variety of stock footage that was used in later episodes . Initially , the models were static and had no electronics . For the second pilot , `` Where No Man Has Gone Before '' ( 1966 ) , various details of the 11 - foot model were altered , and the starboard window ports and running lights were internally illuminated . When the series was picked up and went into production , the model was altered yet again . These alterations included the addition of translucent domes and blinking lights at the forward ends of the engine nacelles , smaller domes at the stern end of the engine nacelles , a shorter bridge dome , and a smaller deflector / sensor dish .", "3": "Save for re-used footage from the two pilot episodes , this was the appearance of the ship throughout the series , except for some detail added to nacelles for shots used in `` The Trouble with Tribbles '' . Two small ( 3 `` ) models were also made for the episode `` Catspaw '' , one embedded in a block of lucite , bringing the total number of models used to represent Enterprise during the original series to four . While the three - foot model was lost during construction of a new model ( the refurbished version seen in the first movie ) , the 11 feet ( 3.4 m ) model has undergone a historic restoration , having previously been displayed in the Gift Shop downstairs at the Smithsonian Institution 's National Air and Space Museum in Washington , D.C. , and was unveiled in its new display position in the lobby of the Milestones of Flight Hall at NASM 's 40th anniversary celebration on July 1 , 2016 , which also roughly coincides with Star Trek 's 50th anniversary . Greg Jein created a model of the original Enterprise for the Star Trek : Deep Space Nine episode `` Trials and Tribble - ations '' ( 1996 ) . Jein 's model was built to be exactly half the size of the larger of the two original models , and later appeared in the 1998 Star Trek wall calendar . In addition , a CGI model of the ship makes a brief cameo appearance at the end of the final episode of Star Trek : Enterprise , `` These Are the Voyages ... '' ( 2005 ) , and another CGI version was created for remastered episodes of the original Star Trek , based on the model in the Smithsonian .", "4": "Refit configuration ( edit ) USS Enterprise The refitted Enterprise at the battle of the Mutara Nebula First appearance Star Trek The Motion Picture ( 1979 ) Affiliation United Federation of Planets Starfleet Launched 2270 General characteristics Class Enterprise Registry NCC - 1701 Maximum speed Warp 12 Auxiliary craft 5 x Mark VIII Long Range Shuttlecraft with warp drive sled Armaments 2 x electromagnetic launch Photon Torpedo tube 6 x twin phaser bank 6 x single phaser Defenses Multiple Force Field Deflector Grids Propulsion 1 x dual Impulse power unit with impulse deflection crystal 2 x Space Warp Propulsion Units Power linear intermix matter / anti-matter reaction chamber Length 304.8 meters ( 1000 ft ) The refitted Enterprise that appears in the first three Star Trek films was initially designed by Matt Jefferies , based on an early design he had made of a hypothetical Enterprise refit for the original Star Trek , and reworked for the scrapped Star Trek : Phase II TV series . While Andrew Probert and Richard Taylor often take credit for the design , the changes they actually made compared to Jefferies ' original designs largely amount to minor detail alterations . Michael Minor , Gene Roddenberry , Joe Jennings , Douglas Trumbull , Harold Michaelson , and Jim Dow contributed in part to the final look of Enterprise , while Jim Dow was in charge of building the model and created all the molds and structural processes . Paul Olsen painted the distinct `` Aztec '' paint scheme to provide an additional level of detail for the film screen , and to suggest the notion of interlocking panels providing tensile strength to the hull . The 8 - foot ( 2.4 m ) model was re-used as the USS Enterprise - A in the fourth , fifth , and sixth Star Trek films . Foundation Imaging created a CGI model of the ship for the `` Director 's Edition '' release of Star Trek : The Motion Picture to add footage envisioned but never shot by director Robert Wise .", "5": "2009 reboot ( edit ) USS Enterprise The re-conceptualized , `` alternate universe '' Enterprise in the 2009 Star Trek film First appearance Star Trek ( 2009 ) Affiliation United Federation of Planets Starfleet Launched 2258 General characteristics Registry NCC - 1701 Maximum speed Warp 8 Auxiliary craft Shuttlecraft Armaments Photon torpedoes Phasers Defenses Deflector shields Propulsion Impulse engines Warp drive Power Matter / antimatter Enterprise was redesigned for the 2009 Star Trek film . Director J.J. Abrams wanted Enterprise to have a `` hot rod '' look while retaining the traditional shape , but otherwise afforded Industrial Light & Magic ( ILM ) `` tremendous '' leeway in creating the ship . Perhaps the most notable change was in the large engine nacelles , seen attached to the main body . The change applied a sleeker finish and shape to the otherwise simple nacelles of the previous ship . Concept artist Ryan Church 's initial designs were modeled and refined by set designer Joseph Hiura . This design was then given to ILM for further refinement and developed into photo - realistic models by Alex Jaeger 's team . ILM 's Roger Guyett recalled the original Enterprise being `` very static '' , and added moving components to the film 's model . ILM retained subtle geometric forms and patterns to allude to the original Enterprise . The computer model 's digital paint recreates the appearance of `` interference paint '' , which contains small particles of mica to alter the apparent color , used on the first three films ' model . The initial redesign of Enterprise was notably larger than the original Enterprise and was projected to be 367 meters length and between 170 and 180 meters wide but the final version used in the films was upscaled to be at least 700 meters length and 330 -- 350 meters wide . Depiction ( edit ) Built between 2243 and 2245 in the original Star Trek timeline , Starfleet commissioned the Enterprise in 2245 .", "6": "In Star Trek , the ship 's dedication plaque lists it as `` Starship Class '' ; however , with the release of Franz Joseph 's Star Fleet Technical Manual in 1975 , the ship was renamed `` Constitution class '' , even though all previous references identify it as `` Starship Class '' . This is confirmed by episode dialogue in `` Relics '' , a Next Generation episode which refers to the vessel as a `` Constitution class '' starship . Star Trek : The Animated Series states that Robert April is Enterprise 's first commanding officer . After April , Captain Christopher Pike ( Jeffrey Hunter ) commands Enterprise for about a decade , and Pike is the commanding officer in the ( originally un-aired ) pilot `` The Cage '' . Throughout the first Star Trek television series , Captain James T. Kirk commands the ship on a five - year mission of exploration . Before the events of Star Trek : The Motion Picture ( 1979 ) , Enterprise undergoes an 18 - month refit overseen by its new commanding officer , Willard Decker ( Stephen Collins ) . In early scenes of the film , Decker describes the refit to Admiral Kirk as `` an almost totally new Enterprise '' . Star Trek novels and the semi-official fan - produced internet series Star Trek : New Voyages ( and the abortive planned TV series Star Trek : Phase II ) depict a second five - year exploratory mission under Kirk 's command between the events of the first and second films . Spock ( Leonard Nimoy ) commands Enterprise , serving as a training ship , at the beginning of Star Trek II : The Wrath of Khan ( 1982 ) , but Kirk assumes command when the ship investigates problems with Project Genesis . USS Reliant , hijacked by Khan Noonien Singh ( Ricardo Montalbán ) , inflicts substantial damage to Enterprise ; Spock sacrifices his life to save the ship . Shortly after returning to spacedock at the beginning of Star Trek III : The Search for Spock ( 1984 ) , Enterprise is marked for decommissioning . Kirk leads his officers in stealing the ship in an attempt to restore Spock 's life . In the process , they are attacked by Klingons inflicting mortal damage on the ship ; to even the odds and gain a tactical advantage , Kirk is forced to destroy Enterprise by activating its self - destruct system .", "7": "Star Trek IV : The Voyage Home ( 1986 ) opens with Kirk and his officers agreeing to return to Earth to face judgment for their actions in the previous film . En route ( in the Klingon vessel they had commandeered ) , they travel back in time to stop a probe threatening to destroy Earth . Upon the success of their mission and return to the 23rd century , the charges against the crew are dismissed . Admiral Kirk is `` punished '' with a demotion in rank to captain and is given command of Enterprise 's successor , USS Enterprise , NCC - 1701 - A . In the 2009 film Star Trek , Enterprise makes its first appearance in an altered timeline while it is still under construction in a planetside yard in Riverside , Iowa in 2255 . Captain Christopher Pike ( Bruce Greenwood ) commands Enterprise on its maiden voyage in 2258 to respond to a distress call from Vulcan although command later shifts to Commander Spock ( Zachary Quinto ) and , by film 's conclusion , Kirk ( Chris Pine ) is promoted to captain and receives command of the Federation 's flagship as his first assignment out of the academy . This version of the ship , like the movies it appeared in , was controversial for being a radical departure from the original . The re-imagined Enterprise appears in both 2013 's Star Trek Into Darkness and 2016 's Star Trek Beyond , where it is destroyed . Scientific and cultural impact ( edit ) The Starship Enterprise , and by extension , Star Trek as a franchise , has had considerable scientific and cultural impact . Science ( edit ) The Enterprise 's command bridge design was considered for use by the United States Navy due to the efficiency of its style and layout , and has been emulated in functional Bridge designs . More precisely , the layout of task stations caused the Navy to rethink the division of labor for managing rapidly changing information : the helmsman focuses on immediate steering requirements , navigator plans helmsman 's next actions , the captain plans strategy while looking over the shoulders of both . Without visual distraction , the captain is told from behind about engine status , weapons status , and fleet communications . The design has also been emulated for Combat Information Centers and Ship 's Mission Centers . NASA created a webpage dedicated to Star Trek 's technology .", "8": "The ship 's hull design was tested at hypersonic velocity by using the University of Queensland 's Super-Orbital Expansion Tube using Holographic interferometry , and found that at Mach 5 speed , the bow shocks pass comfortably outside the other sections of the vehicle without experiencing `` shock - shock '' interactions ( where one shock wave hits another directly in front of the body of the aircraft , which can be catastrophic for structural integrity ) . At least one website has been created that proposes a functional spacecraft with a layout similar to the Enterprise could be constructed and used as a fully functioning interplanetary craft , and could - according to the author - be built with current technology in as little as twenty years from the time of his writing . Culture ( edit ) In 1968 , a write - in campaign caused the owners of Star Trek , the first television series to depict the Starship Enterprise , to reverse their decision to cancel the show after its second season . In 1976 , another write - in campaign led to the first space shuttle being named Enterprise rather than Constitution . In 1974 , the Smithsonian accepted the donation of the primary model of the Starship Enterprise used in filming the original series , for display at its National Air and Space Museum -- the first and only artifact at the nation 's most visited museum that depicts a fictional craft . The original Enterprise appears on a commemorative stamp released by the United States Postal Service . The Canadian town of Vulcan , Alberta , created a 31 - foot model starship inspired by Star Trek 's Enterprise . The operations aboard Enterprise have been used as an analogy for practices in human resources management . In 2009 , Virgin Galactic named its first commercial spaceship VSS Enterprise in honor of the Star Trek vessel . Minutiae ( edit ) The Enterprise was originally going to be named Yorktown ( as seen in series creator Gene Roddenberry 's first outline drafts of the series ) .

At the same party , Lwaxana is approached by the Ferengi Daimon Tog of the ship Krayton , who is interested in Lwaxana in a sexual way , but also explains he would like Lwaxana to use her telepathy to help him make business . Lwaxana rejects him flatly and later remarks that she would rather eat Orion Wing Slugs than date Tog . Afterwards , at the urging of Captain Picard , Commander Riker and his one - time flame , Deanna , decide to take a quick shore leave on Betazed while the Enterprise heads out on a routine mission studying a nebula . Lwaxana tracks down her daughter and Riker , with intent to encourage a renewed romance between the couple . She is just getting started when Daimon Tog arrives stating that he has come for Lwaxana . When he is again rebuffed by Lwaxana , Tog has himself and the others transported aboard the Krayton , leaving a confused Mr. Homn to wonder where his employer has gone . The three awaken in a cell aboard the Krayton . Tog then has Deanna and Lwaxana beamed into the lab of Farek , a Ferengi doctor who hopes to study Lwaxana 's telepathy using mind probes . In the process of transporting them he leaves the women 's clothing behind , saying that women are not worthy enough to wear clothes . Lwaxana pretends to be interested in Tog , and gains Deanna 's return to the cell with Riker by agreeing to discuss with Tog a proposal to use her telepathic abilities in trade negotiations . Riker entices a Ferengi guard into a chess game , and once outside the cell , Riker quickly overpowers the guard . Once freed , Deanna and Riker attempt to send a message to the Enterprise , only to learn that the ship 's communication system is secured by access code .", "2": "As Lwaxana seduces Tog by rubbing his ears , she receives a telepathic message from Deanna asking her to try to get Tog 's access code . Lwaxana has nearly gotten Tog to tell her the code when Farek walks in and catches her in the act . Farek threatens to humiliate Tog by revealing his incompetence to the Ferengi , but offers to forget the incident if Lwaxana is turned over to him for experimentation , despite the fact that the proposed tests may be lethal . Meanwhile , the Enterprise leaves the nebula , which has been interfering with communications , and learn from Betazed officials that Riker and the Trois have been kidnapped . Returning to Betazed , the Enterprise crew discovers flowers indigenous to a Ferengi planet at the spot where Deanna and Riker were last seen . Picard orders a frequency scan to see if Riker has somehow sent a message , but are unable to pick up anything discernible . In fact , Riker has tapped into the system on the Krayton that suppresses Cochrane distortion from the ship 's warp field , and modulated it to generate a signal using unsuppressed distortion into a pattern he hopes the Enterprise crew will recognize . In the midst of the search , Acting Ensign Wesley Crusher is in final preparation to depart to Earth for his second attempt to pass the Starfleet Academy entrance exam . Just as he is about to leave , he realizes that the modulated interference itself may be the signal , and rushes back to the Bridge , missing his transport back to Earth . Decoding the signal , young Crusher finds Riker has provided the heading of the Krayton and the Enterprise heads out in pursuit . In the meantime , Deanna is experiencing great pain as she senses the mind probes being used on her mother . Riker , having finished setting up the modulation of the Cochrane distortion , arms himself and bursts into Farek 's lab to free Lwaxana , but a standoff ensues when Tog enters with a phaser . Just then the Enterprise arrives , and Lwaxana buys the release of Troi and Riker by agreeing to stay with Tog and serve him both as a lover and a business partner .", "3": "After Riker and Deanna are returned to the Enterprise , Picard begins to play the role of a jealous lover , describing his love for Lwaxana and telling Tog that if he can not have her no one will , and threatens to destroy the Krayton if she is not delivered to him immediately . When Picard tries to `` win back '' Lwaxanna at the end , he recites two William Shakespeare sonnets : 141 and 18 . Fearing for his life Daimon Tog hurriedly beams Lwaxana directly to the Enterprise Bridge and leaves the area post-haste . So taken is Lwaxana by Picard 's poetic profession of `` love '' for her that she takes her place on his lap in the command chair , causing Picard to quickly tell Ensign Crusher to `` set course for Betazed '' , almost whispering `` warp nine '' . Crusher is told that he will be allowed to reapply for entrance to Starfleet Academy in one year , and Picard gives him a field promotion to full Ensign in light of his contributions to the ship and crew .
