16
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.079
Story about Eric Seagall. The top
movie was Kelly's Heroes, a group of

17
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.360
US soldiers. They sneak behind enemy

00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:13.080
treasure stars Clean East to a Telly
Savalas, Don Rickles, Carol O'Connor,

19
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.719
Donald Sutherland, whole bunch of people. All right, let's se it happened

20
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:21.280
in the world on June twenty eighth. The American Revolution. In seventeen seventy

21
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.599
eight in New Jersey, the Battle
of Monmouth was fought. It's pretty much

22
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.639
a draw, but the United States
was able to claim victory. Now,

23
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.520
the story of the battle was Molly
Pitcher says she was following the troops and

24
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.159
helping out behind the scenes because her
husband was actually fighting for the colonial army.

25
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.919
Later they found out her name was
actually married Ludwick Hays. But during

26
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.360
the battle, Molly she would carry
water to the troops during the fire.

27
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.719
Then when her husband was wounded,
she took his place at his cannon.

28
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:47.439
Yeah, she helped fire it and
clean it and all that kind of stuff.

29
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:51.479
George Washington was so oppressed about what
she did during the battle that he

30
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:55.199
made her an honorary and non commissioned
officer eighteen fifty nine, the world's first

31
00:02:55.240 --> 00:03:00.159
dog show was held in Newcastle upon
the Tie in England. Fifty dogs were

32
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:04.639
entered, twenty three were pointers and
twenty seven were setters. Didn't say who

33
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.840
won. In eighteen seventy eight Congress
they created the federal holidays New Year's Day,

34
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:14.280
Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas
Day. Eighteen ninety four they created

35
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.759
Labor Day. Now originally those were
just for federal employees. The regular people

36
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:22.719
were supposed to work. Nineteen ten, the first Zeppelin airship with passengers it

37
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:24.800
made his maiden flight over in Germany, got stuck in some trees and one

38
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:30.800
crew member was injured trying to get
it free. Nineteen fourteen, Austria's Archduke

39
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:35.800
Ferdinand and his wife Sofia were assassinated
in Sarajevo, Bosnia. They were shot

40
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.639
down by a Serbian who wanted to
end Austria Hungary rule of Bosnia and Herzegovinia.

41
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:45.120
Now that road pissed off austrias they
declared war on Serbia. Serbery declared

42
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:49.039
war on Austria. Then all the
other European countries just picked a side and

43
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:53.680
went to war. That's how World
War World War One began, sixteen million

44
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.479
people died. Then in nineteen nineteen, the Treaty of Versailles was signed.

45
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.560
It ended World War One. The
treaty was between Germany and the Allied Forces.

46
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.159
Germany had to admit that they started
the whole war and they had to

47
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:05.759
pay for the whole thing. Yeah, that's what led to World War Two.

48
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:09.599
Now, the United States, they
signed that Treaty of ver Science,

49
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:13.240
but the Senate refused to ratify it, so the United States and Germany signed

50
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:16.800
a separate peace treaty in nineteen twenty
one. Nineteen sixty five, President Lyndon

51
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:24.079
Johnson he authorized the first years ground
troops over to Vietnam. So have you
