came out, swarms of people flocked from Europe to get their hands on the
skins of these animals. Initially, they came to find the Orient and India,
but found North America instead. That is why the first people seen on
North America are called indians, the settlers thought they had found India
and called the natives indians.

first. He got together with some of his friends including Einstein who
talked to Roosevelt. Roosevelt approved the project in 1939
Physicists from 1939 onward conducted much research to find answers to such
questions as how many neutrons were emitted in each fission, which elements
would not capture the neutrons, would they moderate or reduce their
velocity, and whether only the lighter and more rare isotope of uranium (U-
235) or the common isotope (U-238) could be used. They learned that each

540 Words - 2 Pages.... more than 200,000 miles of secondary roads
connecting each of the cities in the empire.
Augustus turned our city of Rome from a city of brick into a city
of marble as he liked to say. A building material was discovered and was
used to make roads and bridges. This building substance was concrete. We

of Rome's bold architecture. This material was then covered with a costly
material, usually marble, to look more decorative. This was used around

come so close. But rather the most current. It is a simple and bold reminder
that some people are just not very smart, and for that same reason we must look
out for all to be at peace with all.
