Cast ( edit ) Barbra Streisand as Esther Hoffman Howard Kris Kristofferson as John Norman Howard Gary Busey as Bobbie Ritchie Paul Mazursky as Brian Wexler Joanne Linville as Freddie Lowenstein Oliver Clark as Gary Danziger Venetta Fields as One ( of the Oreos ) Clydie King as Two ( of the Oreos ) Sally Kirkland as Photographer Marta Heflin as Quentin Rita Coolidge as Herself Tony Orlando as Himself M.G. Kelly as DJ Bebe Jesus Uncle Rudy as Mo Susan Richardson as Groupie ( uncredited ) Robert Englund as Marty ( uncredited ) Maidie Norman as Justice of the Peace ( uncredited ) Martin Erlichman as Manager ( uncredited ) Production ( edit ) Directed by Frank Pierson , the film updates the original story and screenplay of William A. Wellman and Robert Carson with additional contributions by Pierson , John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion . It also features Gary Busey and Sally Kirkland . Venetta Fields and Clydie King perform as Streisand 's backing vocalists `` The Oreos '' . Kristofferson 's then wife Rita Coolidge and Tony Orlando appear briefly as themselves . The earlier films had portrayed the behind - the - scenes world of Hollywood film making . However , this version adapted the story to the music business . For example , the 1937 and 1954 films each portrayed the lead female character winning an Academy Award , while the 1976 version depicted the heroine winning a Grammy Award instead . A Star Is Born was co-produced by Streisand and her then - partner Jon Peters for Barwood Films and Warner Brothers , with Peters as the main producer and Streisand as executive . Among actors considered for the male lead were Neil Diamond and Marlon Brando . Streisand and Peters wanted Elvis Presley for the role : they met with Elvis and discussed the film , and he was interested in taking the part , thinking it would revive his film career . Elvis ' manager , Colonel Tom Parker , insisted Elvis have top billing and asked for a substantial sum of money for the role , even though he had not had an acting role since 1969 , and people were unsure what kind of box office draw he would be . This effectively ended Elvis 's involvement with the project . Parker also did not want to have Elvis portrayed as having a show business career in decline . This in fact was far from the truth , with Elvis playing to packed auditoriums wherever he toured in the States . Diamond , who knew Streisand and had attended high school with her at Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn , was also seriously considered but had to decline due to his extensive concert commitments , and Kristofferson got the part of John Norman Howard . Kristofferson denied modelling his character on Jim Morrison : `` That 's a good idea but it 's not true . I do n't think I ever met Morrison . A lot of people said we looked alike -- shirts off , beards -- but that washed - up rock star was more about me . '' The film cost around $6 million to produce . Its soundtrack album was also an international success , reaching number 1 in many countries and selling nearly 15 million copies worldwide . It featured the ballad `` Evergreen ( Love Theme from A Star Is Born ) '' , which became one of the biggest hits of Streisand 's career , spending three weeks at number one in the United States , and peaking at number three in the United Kingdom . The filming locations included many in Arizona such as downtown Tucson , Tucson Community Center , Sonoita and Tempe . Streisand 's character 's ( Esther Hoffman Howard ) clothing was straight out of Streisand 's own closet . The actual credit reads : Miss Streisand 's clothes from ... her closet . The film was choreographed by David Winters of West Side Story fame , who worked closely with Streisand to perfect the movie 's dancing sequences . Reception ( edit ) The film grossed $80 million at the U.S. box office , making it the 3rd highest grossing picture of 1976 . Critical reception ( edit ) On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , the film received an approval rating of 31 % based on 16 reviews , with an average rating of 5.3 / 10 . On Metacritic , the film has a weighted average score of 58 out of 100 based on 8 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Roger Ebert gave the film two and a half stars out of three . Paul Mavis , reviewing Warner 's 2006 disc release of A Star is Born for DVD Talk , wrote , `` There is something of value in A Star is Born -- one thing -- and that 's Kris Kristofferson 's amazingly adept , heartfelt performance as the doomed rock star , self - destructing despite the love of an up - and - coming singer ( Streisand ) . There 's not a wrong note in his performance . Unfortunately , the remainder of A Star is Born is an unmitigated disaster that has the megalomaniac fingerprints of Barbra Streisand and her hairdresser / producer boyfriend , Jon Peters , all over it . '' Conversely , Vincent Canby , in his review in The New York Times , says Kristofferson `` walks through the film looking very bored . '' Awards and honors ( edit ) The film won the Academy Award for Best Original Song for `` Evergreen '' with the award shared by its songwriters , Streisand and Paul Williams , and was also nominated in the categories of Best Cinematography ( Robert Surtees ) , Best Sound ( Robert Knudson , Dan Wallin , Robert Glass and Tom Overton ) and Original Song Score ( Roger Kellaway ) . It won five Golden Globe Awards for Best Motion Picture -- Musical or Comedy , Best Actress -- Motion Picture Musical or Comedy ( Streisand ) , Best Actor -- Motion Picture Musical or Comedy ( Kristofferson ) , Best Original Score ( Paul Williams and Kenny Ascher ) and Best Original Song , ( Streisand and Williams for `` Evergreen '' ) . The film 's music score and theme song also won ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards for Most Performed Feature Film Standards and nominated BAFTA Awards for Anthony Asquith Award for Film Music and Best Sound Track , Grammy Award for Best Album of Original Score written for a Motion Picture or Television Special In the two previous versions , Gaynor and Garland were each depicted on screen as winning an Oscar , yet neither won for their film in real life ( though Gaynor had won an Oscar before , as had Streisand ) . In this film , Streisand is instead depicted as winning a Grammy , and , in real life , the film 's song `` Evergreen '' won her both a Grammy ( for Song of the Year ) and an Oscar . According to at least one Streisand biography , unhappy with a few of Frank Pierson 's scenes , Streisand later directed them herself ( a claim also made for 1979 's The Main Event ) , adding to the rumors that she and Pierson clashed constantly during production . The film is recognized by American Film Institute in these lists : 2004 : AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Songs : `` Evergreen ( Love Theme from A Star Is Born ) '' -- # 16 Remakes ( edit ) A Star Is Born was the second remake of the 1937 film , the first remake being the 1954 film starring Judy Garland and James Mason .

In March 2015 , it was announced that Bradley Cooper would be starring , directing , and co-produce the remake .

Melchizedek priesthood (Latter Day Saints)
Melchizedek priesthood ( Latter day Saints ) - wikipedia Melchizedek priesthood ( Latter day Saints ) Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Melchizedek priesthood . The Melchizedek priesthood ( / mɛlˈkɪzɪdɛk / ) is the greater of the two orders of priesthood recognized in Mormonism . The other is the Aaronic priesthood . The Patriarchal priesthood which is sometimes confused as a separate priesthood is explained by Boyd K. Packer , Apostle of the LDS Church as : `` The patriarchal order is not a third , separate priesthood . Whatever relates to the patriarchal order is embraced in the Melchizedek Priesthood . ' All other authorities or offices in the church are appendages to ( the Melchizedek ) priesthood . ' ( D&C 107 : 5 . ) The patriarchal order is a part of the Melchizedek Priesthood which enables endowed and worthy men to preside over their posterity in time and eternity . '' . The Melchizedek priesthood is also referred to as the high priesthood of the holy order of God and the Holy Priesthood , after the Order of the Son of God , or simply as the high priesthood . In Mormonism , unlike most other Christian denominations , the Melchizedek priesthood is thought to be held by common mortals and not solely by either pre-Aaronic priests such as Melchizedek , or Jesus alone , as most Christians interpret the Epistle to the Hebrews . According to Joseph Smith , the name of this priesthood became Melchizedek `` because Melchizedek was such a great high priest '' and `` to avoid the too frequent repetition '' of the `` name of the Supreme Being '' . Smith taught that this priesthood was on the earth since Adam received it and conferred it upon his sons Abel and Seth , and it was conferred successively upon the early biblical patriarchs . Through it Enoch led his people to become so righteous and obedient that they qualified to be translated as the City of Enoch . Noah held this priesthood , as did Abraham , Isaac , and Jacob . It remained on earth until the time of Moses , who received it `` under the hand of his father - in - law , Jethro '' and it would have been given to the Israelites if they had been worthy of it and had not `` hardened their hearts '' . Contents ( hide ) 1 Restoration of the Melchizedek Priesthood 2 The Melchizedek priesthood in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints 2.1 Offices of the Melchizedek priesthood in the LDS Church 2.2 Quorums of the Melchizedek priesthood in the LDS Church 2.3 Presidencies 2.4 Priesthood leadership callings 3 LDS Church hierarchy summary 4 Notes 5 References Restoration of the Melchizedek priesthood ( edit ) Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery said they were visited by John the Baptist , who laid his hands on their head and gave them the Aaronic priesthood ; Smith described the event in detail and gave an exact date when it happened . In contrast , he never gave a description of any vision in which he saw an angel separately confer the Melchizedek priesthood . However , by the turn of the 20th century , Latter Day Saint theologians believed that such a separate ordination by angels had occurred prior to the organization of the Church of Christ on April 6 , 1830 . This was largely because the early church organization contained the office of elder , which at least by 1835 was considered an office of the Melchizedek priesthood . As evidence for such a pre-organization angellic conferral , writers referred to a revelation in which Smith said he heard `` The voice of Peter , James , and John in the wilderness between Harmony , Susquehanna county , and Colesville , Broome county , on the Susquehanna river , declaring themselves as possessing the keys of the kingdom , and of the dispensation of the fulness of times ! '' Thus , most Mormons suppose that Smith and Cowdery were visited by the three angels in 1829 and that they conferred the Melchizedek priesthood in the same way John the Baptist had conferred the Aaronic priesthood . However , the official church history , supervised or written by Smith , states that `` the authority of the Melchizedek priesthood was manifested and conferred for the first time upon several of the Elders '' during a General Conference in early June 1831 . When Smith 's official history was first published in 1902 , the compiler B.H. Roberts thought that this was a mistake , because it would not be consistent with the common Mormon belief that the priesthood had been conferred prior to the church 's founding in 1830 . On the other hand , some recent Mormon historians accept Smith 's history as correct and consistent with other historical records showing that other Mormons present at the conference dated the restoration of the Melchizedek priesthood to 1831 . This conference had been a very significant event in the early church history , coming soon after the conversion of Sidney Rigdon , who believed that Mormon missionaries lacked the necessary power to adequately preach the gospel . Thus , in January 1831 , Smith issued a revelation where he wrote that after Mormons relocated to Kirtland , Ohio , they would `` be endowed with power from on high '' and `` sent forth '' . In a revelation given to an individual , Smith assured the man that `` at the conference meeting he ( would ) be ordained unto power from on high '' . One of Smith 's associates that was present at the conference expressed the view that this ordination `` consisted ( of ) the endowment -- it being a new order -- and bestowed authority '' , and later that year , an early convert who had left the church claimed that many of the Saints `` have been ordained to the High Priesthood , or the order of Melchizedek ; and profess to be endowed with the same power as the ancient apostles were '' . In 1835 , the historical record was muddled a bit when the first edition of the Doctrine and Covenants altered pre-1831 revelations to make a distinction between the Aaronic and Melchizedek priesthoods , and to classify the offices of elder and apostle as part of the Melchizedek priesthood . The Melchizedek priesthood in the church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints ( edit ) In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints ( LDS Church ) , the largest Latter Day Saint denomination , the Melchizedek priesthood is one of two governing priesthoods , which is typically given as a matter of course to worthy male members 18 years and older . No exact rule exists about how much time a man must be a member first ; he may receive this priesthood as soon as local church leaders feel he is prepared . Ordination is based on the recipient 's age and worthiness and does not require any specific training or aptitude . A candidate for this ordination is interviewed and often counseled to study the 84th , 107th , and 121st sections of the Doctrine and Covenants to begin to understand the oath and covenant of the priesthood , the covenant a person makes with God when he receives the Melchizedek priesthood . The candidate is also usually asked to stand in a gathering of the members of the church to be publicly accepted as being worthy of ordination . For male Latter - day Saints , receiving the Melchizedek priesthood is considered to be a saving ordinance of the gospel . Shortly after the establishment of the church , the ordination of blacks to the priesthood was prohibited . Following a revelation to then - Church president Spencer W. Kimball , the church lifted the prohibition in 1978 . An important purpose of giving the Melchizedek priesthood to every adult Latter - day Saint man is to allow fathers and husbands to be able to give priesthood blessings of healing , comfort , counsel , and strength to their children and wife , and to preside over the family unit in a righteous manner . Many LDS fathers give a priesthood blessing to their children before the start of each new school year or before an important life event such as marriage . Each Melchizedek priesthood bearer , regardless of priesthood office , is encouraged to give priesthood blessings when called upon by others . Offices of the Melchizedek priesthood in the LDS church ( edit ) In the LDS Church , there are five offices within the Melchizedek priesthood . Although the holders of the different priesthood offices hold the same Melchizedek priesthood , their assigned rights and responsibilities vary according to their priesthood office . Office Minimum requirement to be ordained to office Rights and responsibilities Apostle Married holder of the Melchizedek priesthood `` Special witnesses '' of Jesus Christ who hold the rights to officiate in all responsibilities and duties of the priesthood , including the sealing power . Apostles direct the calling of patriarchs and may ordain persons to all other offices and callings in the church . The President of the Church must be an apostle . Seventy Holder of the Melchizedek priesthood `` Especial witnesses '' of Jesus Christ ; called to preach the gospel to the world ; work under the direction of apostles ; may be general authorities or area seventies . Patriarch Married high priest ; normally at least 55 years old Gives patriarchal blessings to Latter - day Saints High Priest Holder of the Melchizedek priesthood Responsible for the spiritual welfare of the Latter - day Saints ; may serve in a bishopric , stake presidency , high council , or temple presidency and may serve as a mission president ; may ordain other High Priests and Elders Elder Priest in the Aaronic priesthood ; at least 18 years old Confer the gift of the Holy Ghost ; give blessings by the laying on of hands ; ordain other Elders ; holds all the rights of the Aaronic priesthood Quorums of the Melchizedek priesthood in the LDS church ( edit ) Holders of priesthood offices are organized into quorums . The quorums are a brotherhood where members of the quorum assist each other , teach one another , and delegate particular responsibilities to individuals or committees . Members of the church who do not maintain the standards and people who are not members of the church are invited to participate in the quorum to enjoy the brotherhood and support , although they may not be given certain quorum responsibilities . Priesthood office Name of quorum Maximum number in quorum and notes Apostle Quorum of the Twelve Apostles 12 ; other apostles may be in Quorum of First Presidency or in no quorum Seventy Quorums of the Seventy ( currently numbered First through Eighth ) 70 ; some are quorums of general authorities ; others are quorums of area authorities Patriarch No quorum organization Patriarchs meet with the local group of high priests High Priest High Priests Quorum ( stake ) High Priests Group ( ward ) No maximum ; each quorum is divided into multiple groups ; no quorum exists in districts of the church Elder Elders Quorum 96 ; adult males without the priesthood and adult holders of the Aaronic priesthood are often invited to attend Elders Quorum meetings In order to be called to the Aaronic priesthood office of bishop , a man must either be a literal descendant of Aaron or , more commonly , be `` a high priest of the Melchizedek Priesthood '' . Presidencies ( edit ) Each quorum and organizational unit in the church has a presidency attached to it . A presidency is usually composed of three members : the president and two counselors . Typically , a president is selected and he chooses the two counselors whom he would like to serve with him . On very rare occasions there may be only one counselor or three counselors . Usually , a secretary is also called by the president to serve , but he is not considered a part of the presidency . Each of the counselors is given a precedence , for instance , `` first counselor '' and `` second counselor '' . The two exceptions to these general rules are the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles , which is presided by a single president ; and the Presidency of the Seventy , which consists of seven presidents equal in authority . The counselors serve under the direction of the president and share in his responsibilities . The president may assign each counselor to handle certain areas of responsibility . The president bears the sole burden of being the final arbiter of decisions , but he is advised to receive advice from the his counselors and pay close attention to their opinions and insights . When the president is released , the counselors are also released . Priesthood leadership callings ( edit ) In addition to the regular offices of the Aaronic or Melchizedek priesthood , there are other leadership callings within the priesthood . The table below lists these other priesthood leadership callings , with the table below it showing the organization of various callings within the church 's hierarchy . Leadership calling Minimum qualifications Rights and responsibilities President of the Church and counselor in the First Presidency President must be an apostle ; counselors must be high priests Preside over and direct the entire church Area President and counselors All must be seventies or apostles Preside over and direct a geographical region ( `` area '' ) of the church Stake President and counselors All must be high priests Preside over and direct a stake of the church Stake high councilors All must be high priests Assist the stake presidency in governing the stake Ward Bishop and counselors All must be high priests Preside over and direct a ward of a stake Mission president and counselors Mission president must be high priest ; counselors must hold Melchizedek priesthood Preside over and direct a mission of the church and the full - time missionaries in the mission District President and counselors All must hold Melchizedek priesthood Preside over and direct a district of a mission Branch President and counselors All must hold Melchizedek priesthood Preside over and direct a branch of a district or stake Temple president and counselors All must be high priests Preside over and direct the operation of a temple LDS Church hierarchy summary ( edit ) General Authorities The First Presidency : The President ( Prophet ) of the church , 1st Counselor and 2nd Counselor The Quorum of the Twelve Apostles : Twelve ordained apostles , one of whom may be the President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles The Presiding Bishopric Quorums of the Seventy The Seven Presidents of the Seventy and several dozen Seventies First Quorum of the Seventy Second Quorum of the Seventy Area Presidencies : Presidents , 1st and 2nd Counselors are typically filled by Seventies Local Authorities Third , Fourth , Fifth , Sixth , Seventh , and Eighth Quorums of the Seventy ( Area Seventies ) Temple Presidencies Stake Presidencies and High Councils or District Presidencies Mission Presidencies Ward Bishoprics or Branch Presidencies Elders Quorums High Priest Groups Deacons Quorums Teachers Quorums Priests Quorums Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ Dictionary.com -- Melchizedek Retrieved 2015 - 08 - 22 .

before 1829 who held the keys to the melchizedek priesthood
[ "Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery said they were visited by John the Baptist, who laid his hands on their head and gave them the Aaronic priesthood; Smith described the event in detail and gave an exact date when it happened. In contrast, he never gave a description of any vision in which he saw an angel separately confer the Melchizedek priesthood. However, by the turn of the 20th century, Latter Day Saint theologians believed that such a separate ordination by angels had occurred prior to the organization of the Church of Christ on April 6, 1830.[9] This was largely because the early church organization contained the office of elder, which at least by 1835 was considered an office of the Melchizedek priesthood. As evidence for such a pre-organization angellic conferral, writers referred to a revelation in which Smith said he heard \"The voice of Peter, James, and John in the wilderness between Harmony, Susquehanna county, and Colesville, Broome county, on the Susquehanna river, declaring themselves as possessing the keys of the kingdom, and of the dispensation of the fulness of times!\"[10] Thus, most Mormons suppose that Smith and Cowdery were visited by the three angels in 1829 and that they conferred the Melchizedek priesthood in the same way John the Baptist had conferred the Aaronic priesthood.", "Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery said they were visited by John the Baptist, who laid his hands on their head and gave them the Aaronic priesthood; Smith described the event in detail and gave an exact date when it happened.

( December 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The gang goes to the house that Ted bought in `` Home Wreckers '' . While Ted explains his plans for the house , Barney attempts to persuade Ted to add erotic and sensual objects . It is then revealed that the trip is an intervention . Barney believes it is for Ted , but it is actually for him . A few days before the intervention , the gang attempted to watch TV in Barney 's apartment and they learn that Barney does not know how to use tools , so he has called a repairman to fix the TV . However , instead of the repairman , Barney is greeted at the door by Jerome Whittaker ( John Lithgow ) , Barney 's father and stated he has received his letter . Later , Barney related to the gang his meeting with Jerry , telling them how he is a tour manager who loves Scotch , suits , and loose women as much as he does . Though the gang is happy for Barney , they worry that Jerry will hurt him again , which Barney brushes off . However , the gang is later approached by Jerome , who reveals that he is actually a driving instructor with a normal suburban life . During the actual meeting with Barney , Jerry attempted to impress him but failed miserably . Meanwhile , the gang begins to note all of the things that each of them never learned , noticing it when Barney mentions he does n't know how to use a screwdriver . Robin points that , until his class pointed it out , Ted used to think that the word `` chameleon '' was pronounced `` Chama - lee - on . '' Ted points out that Robin is unaware that the North Pole is a real place . Later , it is revealed how she does not know that reindeer are real ( despite being Canadian , where reindeer are found practically everywhere ) or that Jack Kennedy and John F. Kennedy are the same person . Ted also points out Lily 's bad throwing skills . Marshall is the only one whom the gang does not mention , and he eventually asks the gang to pick on him . He reveals that he is aware that the gang has been careful around him ever since his father died , and says that he just wants to feel normal again . The group does resume picking on Marshall , mocking his inability to wink or swallow pills , his tendency to add too much water to his oatmeal , how he always misses one belt loop and how he is too old to ask to see the cockpit on planes . Marshall thanks them , grateful to be treated like an equal again . The gang reveals that Barney 's intervention is about seeing his father , who lives nearby Ted 's house . Barney reluctantly agrees to have dinner with Jerome 's family and meets Jerry 's wife , Cheryl , and his son JJ . Barney acts antagonistically toward JJ , but stops when he learns that JJ stands for Jerome Junior . Upset , Barney abruptly leaves and Jerome follows him to the garage , where Barney is attempting to steal the basketball hoop attached to it . When Barney expresses his resentment that Jerry is nothing more than a `` lame suburban dad '' and that JJ got to have a normal childhood while he did not , Jerry apologizes for abandoning Barney and helps him remove the hoop while teaching him how to use a screwdriver . Barney and the rest of the group go back to Ted 's house and takes basketball hoop with him . Barney tells Ted that he should have it for his future kids , choking up as he says , `` a kid needs a hoop , '' as his friends comfort him . Production ( edit ) Co-executive producer Craig Thomas said the issue about the identity of Barney 's real father was already a plot point in the initial conceptualization of the series . John Lithgow was the first choice to play Jerome Whittaker and the producers gave him a collection of specific episodes detailing Barney 's father issues ( including `` Showdown '' ) to help him get acquainted with the role . Thomas said Lithgow will still appear in future episodes , as the role would complicate Barney 's connection with Nora . Reception ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( December 2015 ) Donna Bowman of the AV Club gave the episode a B . Zach Oat of Television Without Pity graded the episode at B+ Robert Canning of IGN gave the episode a rating of 8 out of 10 . A number of reviews also praised Harris ' emotional scene with Lithgow .

Established scientific theories have withstood rigorous scrutiny and are a comprehensive form of scientific knowledge . It is important to note that the definition of a `` scientific theory '' ( often contracted to `` theory '' for the sake of brevity , including in this page ) as used in the disciplines of science is significantly different from the common vernacular usage of the word `` theory '' . In everyday non-scientific speech , `` theory '' can imply that something is an unsubstantiated and speculative guess , conjecture , idea , or , hypothesis ; such a usage is the opposite of the word `` theory '' in science . These different usages are comparable to the differing , and often opposing , usages of the term `` prediction '' in science versus `` prediction '' in vernacular speech , denoting a mere hope . The strength of a scientific theory is related to the diversity of phenomena it can explain . As additional scientific evidence is gathered , a scientific theory may be rejected or modified if it does not fit the new findings ; in such circumstances , a more accurate theory is then desired . In certain cases , the less - accurate unmodified scientific theory can still be treated as a theory if it is useful ( due to its sheer simplicity ) as an approximation under specific conditions ( e.g. , Newton 's laws of motion as an approximation to special relativity at velocities that are small relative to the speed of light ) . Scientific theories are testable and make falsifiable predictions . They describe the causes of a particular natural phenomenon and are used to explain and predict aspects of the physical universe or specific areas of inquiry ( for example , electricity , chemistry , astronomy ) . Scientists use theories as a foundation to gain further scientific knowledge , as well as to accomplish goals such as inventing technology or curing disease . As with other forms of scientific knowledge , scientific theories are both deductive and inductive in nature and aim for predictive power and explanatory capability . Paleontologist , evolutionary biologist , and science historian Stephen Jay Gould said , `` ... facts and theories are different things , not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty . Facts are the world ′ s data . Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts .

Constructive theories are constructive models for a phenomen : for example , kinetic energy . Principal theories are empirical generalisations such as Newton 's laws of motion . Characteristics ( edit ) Essential criteria ( 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 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Typically for any theory to be accepted within most academia there is one simple criterion . The essential criterion is that the theory must be observable and repeatable . The aforementioned criterion is essential to prevent fraud and perpetuate science itself . The tectonic plates of the world were mapped in the second half of the 20th century . Plate tectonic theory successfully explains numerous observations about the Earth , including the distribution of earthquakes , mountains , continents , and oceans . The defining characteristic of all scientific knowledge , including theories , is the ability to make falsifiable or testable predictions . The relevance and specificity of those predictions determine how potentially useful the theory is . A would - be theory that makes no observable predictions is not a scientific theory at all . Predictions not sufficiently specific to be tested are similarly not useful . In both cases , the term `` theory '' is not applicable . A body of descriptions of knowledge can be called a theory if it fulfills the following criteria : It makes falsifiable predictions with consistent accuracy across a broad area of scientific inquiry ( such as mechanics ) . It is well - supported by many independent strands of evidence , rather than a single foundation . It is consistent with preexisting experimental results and at least as accurate in its predictions as are any preexisting theories . These qualities are certainly true of such established theories as special and general relativity , quantum mechanics , plate tectonics , the modern evolutionary synthesis , etc . Other criteria ( edit ) In addition , scientists prefer to work with a theory that meets the following qualities : It can be subjected to minor adaptations to account for new data that do not fit it perfectly , as they are discovered , thus increasing its predictive capability over time . It is among the most parsimonious explanations , economical in the use of proposed entities or explanatory steps as per Occam 's razor . This is because for each accepted explanation of a phenomenon , there may be an extremely large , perhaps even incomprehensible , number of possible and more complex alternatives , because one can always burden failing explanations with ad hoc hypotheses to prevent them from being falsified ; therefore , simpler theories are preferable to more complex ones because they are more testable . Definitions from scientific organizations ( edit ) The United States National Academy of Sciences defines scientific theories as follows : The formal scientific definition of theory is quite different from the everyday meaning of the word . It refers to a comprehensive explanation of some aspect of nature that is supported by a vast body of evidence . Many scientific theories are so well established that no new evidence is likely to alter them substantially . For example , no new evidence will demonstrate that the Earth does not orbit around the sun ( heliocentric theory ) , or that living things are not made of cells ( cell theory ) , that matter is not composed of atoms , or that the surface of the Earth is not divided into solid plates that have moved over geological timescales ( the theory of plate tectonics ) ... One of the most useful properties of scientific theories is that they can be used to make predictions about natural events or phenomena that have not yet been observed . From the American Association for the Advancement of Science : A scientific theory is a well - substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world , based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment . Such fact - supported theories are not `` guesses '' but reliable accounts of the real world . The theory of biological evolution is more than `` just a theory '' . It is as factual an explanation of the universe as the atomic theory of matter or the germ theory of disease . Our understanding of gravity is still a work in progress . But the phenomenon of gravity , like evolution , is an accepted fact . Note that the term theory would not be appropriate for describing untested but intricate hypotheses or even scientific models . Formation ( edit ) The first observation of cells , by Robert Hooke , using an early microscope . This led to the development of cell theory . The scientific method involves the proposal and testing of hypotheses , by deriving predictions from the hypotheses about the results of future experiments , then performing those experiments to see whether the predictions are valid . This provides evidence either for or against the hypothesis . When enough experimental results have been gathered in a particular area of inquiry , scientists may propose an explanatory framework that accounts for as many of these as possible . This explanation is also tested , and if it fulfills the necessary criteria ( see above ) , then the explanation becomes a theory . This can take many years , as it can be difficult or complicated to gather sufficient evidence . Once all of the criteria have been met , it will be widely accepted by scientists ( see scientific consensus ) as the best available explanation of at least some phenomena . It will have made predictions of phenomena that previous theories could not explain or could not predict accurately , and it will have resisted attempts at falsification . The strength of the evidence is evaluated by the scientific community , and the most important experiments will have been replicated by multiple independent groups . Theories do not have to be perfectly accurate to be scientifically useful . For example , the predictions made by classical mechanics are known to be inaccurate in the relatistivic realm , but they are almost exactly correct at the comparatively low velocities of common human experience . In chemistry , there are many acid - base theories providing highly divergent explanations of the underlying nature of acidic and basic compounds , but they are very useful for predicting their chemical behavior . Like all knowledge in science , no theory can ever be completely certain , since it is possible that future experiments might conflict with the theory 's predictions . However , theories supported by the scientific consensus have the highest level of certainty of any scientific knowledge ; for example , that all objects are subject to gravity or that life on Earth evolved from a common ancestor . Acceptance of a theory does not require that all of its major predictions be tested , if it is already supported by sufficiently strong evidence . For example , certain tests may be unfeasible or technically difficult . As a result , theories may make predictions that have not yet been confirmed or proven incorrect ; in this case , the predicted results may be described informally with the term `` theoretical '' . These predictions can be tested at a later time , and if they are incorrect , this may lead to the revision or rejection of the theory . Modification and improvement ( edit ) If experimental results contrary to a theory 's predictions are observed , scientists first evaluate whether the experimental design was sound , and if so they confirm the results by independent replication . A search for potential improvements to the theory then begins . Solutions may require minor or major changes to the theory , or none at all if a satisfactory explanation is found within the theory 's existing framework . Over time , as successive modifications build on top of each other , theories consistently improve and greater predictive accuracy is achieved . Since each new version of a theory ( or a completely new theory ) must have more predictive and explanatory power than the last , scientific knowledge consistently becomes more accurate over time . If modifications to the theory or other explanations seem to be insufficient to account for the new results , then a new theory may be required . Since scientific knowledge is usually durable , this occurs much less commonly than modification . Furthermore , until such a theory is proposed and accepted , the previous theory will be retained . This is because it is still the best available explanation for many other phenomena , as verified by its predictive power in other contexts . For example , it was known in 1859 that the observed perihelion precession of Mercury violated Newtonian mechanics , but the theory remained the best explanation available until relativity was supported by sufficient evidence . Also , while new theories may be proposed by a single person or by many , the cycle of modifications eventually incorporates contributions from many different scientists . After the changes , the accepted theory will explain more phenomena and have greater predictive power ( if it did not , the changes would not be adopted ) ; this new explanation will then be open to further replacement or modification . If a theory does not require modification despite repeated tests , this implies that the theory is very accurate . This also means that accepted theories continue to accumulate evidence over time , and the length of time that a theory ( or any of its principles ) remains accepted often indicates the strength of its supporting evidence . Unification ( edit ) In quantum mechanics , the electrons of an atom occupy orbitals around the nucleus . This image shows the orbitals of a hydrogen atom ( s , p , d ) at three different energy levels ( 1 , 2 , 3 ) . Brighter areas correspond to higher probability density . In some cases , two or more theories may be replaced by a single theory that explains the previous theories as approximations or special cases , analogous to the way a theory is a unifying explanation for many confirmed hypotheses ; this is referred to as unification of theories . For example , electricity and magnetism are now known to be two aspects of the same phenomenon , referred to as electromagnetism . When the predictions of different theories appear to contradict each other , this is also resolved by either further evidence or unification . For example , physical theories in the 19th century implied that the Sun could not have been burning long enough to allow certain geological changes as well as the evolution of life . This was resolved by the discovery of nuclear fusion , the main energy source of the Sun . Contradictions can also be explained as the result of theories approximating more fundamental ( non-contradictory ) phenomena . For example , atomic theory is an approximation of quantum mechanics . Current theories describe three separate fundamental phenomena of which all other theories are approximations ; the potential unification of these is sometimes called the Theory of Everything . Example : relativity ( edit ) In 1905 , Albert Einstein published the principle of special relativity , which soon became a theory . Special relativity predictively aligned the Newtonian principle of Galilean invariance , also termed Galilean relativity , with the electromagnetic field . By omitting from special relativity the luminiferous aether , Einstein stated time dilation and length contraction to be expected by an observer measuring an object in relative motion inertial -- that is , an objecting exhibiting constant velocity , which is speed with direction , when measured by its observer -- and thereby duplicated the Lorentz transformation and the Lorentz contraction that had been inserted into electrodynamic theory as dynamical consequences of the aether 's properties hypothesized to resolve experimental riddles . Elegant , special relativity yielded its own consequences , such as the equivalence of mass and energy transforming into one another and the resolution of the paradox that an excitation of the electromagnetic field could be viewed in one reference frame as electricity , but in another as magnetism . Einstein sought to generalize the invariance principle to all reference frames , whether inertial or accelerating . Rejecting Newtonian gravitation -- a central force acting instantly at a distance -- Einstein presumed a gravitational field . In 1907 , Einstein 's equivalence principle inferred that a free fall within a uniform gravitational field is equivalent to inertial motion . By extending special relativity 's effects into three dimensions , length contraction became space contraction in general relativity , whose 4D spacetime is the gravitational field that local alters geometrically and sets all local objects ' pathways . And even massless energy exerts gravitational motion on local objects by `` curving '' the geometrical `` surface '' of 4D spacetime . Yet unless vast , the relativistic effects of energy , whether by speed or mass in the vicinity -- where space is contracted and time is slowed -- are negligible when merely predicting motion . Although general relativity is embraced as the more explanatory theory via scientific realism , Newton 's theory remains successful as merely a predictive theory via instrumentalism . To calculate trajectories , engineers and NASA still uses Newton 's equations , which are simpler to operate . Theories and laws ( edit ) See also : Scientific law Both scientific laws and scientific theories are produced from the scientific method through the formation and testing of hypotheses , and can predict the behavior of the natural world . Both are typically well - supported by observations and / or experimental evidence . However , scientific laws are descriptive accounts of how nature will behave under certain conditions . Scientific theories are broader in scope , and give overarching explanations of how nature works and why it exhibits certain characteristics . Theories are supported by evidence from many different sources , and may contain one or several laws . A common misconception is that scientific theories are rudimentary ideas that will eventually graduate into scientific laws when enough data and evidence have been accumulated . A theory does not change into a scientific law with the accumulation of new or better evidence . A theory will always remain a theory ; a law will always remain a law . Both theories and laws could potentially be falsified by countervailing evidence . Theories and laws are also distinct from hypotheses . Unlike hypotheses , theories and laws may be simply referred to as scientific fact . However , in science , theories are different from facts even when they are well supported . For example , evolution is both a theory and a fact . About theories ( edit ) Theories as axioms ( edit ) The logical positivists thought of scientific theories as statements in a formal language . First - order logic is an example of a formal language . The logical positivists envisaged a similar scientific language . In addition to scientific theories , the language also included observation sentences ( `` the sun rises in the east '' ) , definitions , and mathematical statements . The phenomena explained by the theories , if they could not be directly observed by the senses ( for example , atoms and radio waves ) , were treated as theoretical concepts . In this view , theories function as axioms : predicted observations are derived from the theories much like theorems are derived in Euclidean geometry . However , the predictions are then tested against reality to verify the theories , and the `` axioms '' can be revised as a direct result . The phrase `` the received view of theories '' is used to describe this approach . Terms commonly associated with it are `` linguistic '' ( because theories are components of a language ) and `` syntactic '' ( because a language has rules about how symbols can be strung together ) . Problems in defining this kind of language precisely , e.g. , are objects seen in microscopes observed or are they theoretical objects , led to the effective demise of logical positivism in the 1970s . Theories as models ( edit ) Main article : Scientific model The semantic view of theories , which identifies scientific theories with models rather than propositions , has replaced the received view as the dominant position in theory formulation in the philosophy of science . A model is a logical framework intended to represent reality ( a `` model of reality '' ) , similar to the way that a map is a graphical model that represents the territory of a city or country . Precession of the perihelion of Mercury ( exaggerated ) . The deviation in Mercury 's position from the Newtonian prediction is about 43 arc - seconds ( about two - thirds of 1 / 60 of a degree ) per century . In this approach , theories are a specific category of models that fulfill the necessary criteria ( see above ) . One can use language to describe a model ; however , the theory is the model ( or a collection of similar models ) , and not the description of the model . A model of the solar system , for example , might consist of abstract objects that represent the sun and the planets . These objects have associated properties , e.g. , positions , velocities , and masses . The model parameters , e.g. , Newton 's Law of Gravitation , determine how the positions and velocities change with time . This model can then be tested to see whether it accurately predicts future observations ; astronomers can verify that the positions of the model 's objects over time match the actual positions of the planets . For most planets , the Newtonian model 's predictions are accurate ; for Mercury , it is slightly inaccurate and the model of general relativity must be used instead . The word `` semantic '' refers to the way that a model represents the real world . The representation ( literally , `` re-presentation '' ) describes particular aspects of a phenomenon or the manner of interaction among a set of phenomena . For instance , a scale model of a house or of a solar system is clearly not an actual house or an actual solar system ; the aspects of an actual house or an actual solar system represented in a scale model are , only in certain limited ways , representative of the actual entity . A scale model of a house is not a house ; but to someone who wants to learn about houses , analogous to a scientist who wants to understand reality , a sufficiently detailed scale model may suffice . Differences between theory and model ( edit ) Main article : Conceptual model Several commentators have stated that the distinguishing characteristic of theories is that they are explanatory as well as descriptive , while models are only descriptive ( although still predictive in a more limited sense ) . Philosopher Stephen Pepper also distinguished between theories and models , and said in 1948 that general models and theories are predicated on a `` root '' metaphor that constrains how scientists theorize and model a phenomenon and thus arrive at testable hypotheses . Engineering practice makes a distinction between `` mathematical models '' and `` physical models '' ; the cost of fabricating a physical model can be minimized by first creating a mathematical model using a computer software package , such as a computer aided design tool . The component parts are each themselves modelled , and the fabrication tolerances are specified . An exploded view drawing is used to lay out the fabrication sequence . Simulation packages for displaying each of the subassemblies allow the parts to be rotated , magnified , in realistic detail . Software packages for creating the bill of materials for construction allows subcontractors to specialize in assembly processes , which spreads the cost of manufacturing machinery among multiple customers . See : Computer - aided engineering , Computer - aided manufacturing , and 3D printing Assumptions in formulating theories ( edit ) An assumption ( or axiom ) is a statement that is accepted without evidence . For example , assumptions can be used as premises in a logical argument . Isaac Asimov described assumptions as follows : ... it is incorrect to speak of an assumption as either true or false , since there is no way of proving it to be either ( If there were , it would no longer be an assumption ) . It is better to consider assumptions as either useful or useless , depending on whether deductions made from them corresponded to reality ... Since we must start somewhere , we must have assumptions , but at least let us have as few assumptions as possible . Certain assumptions are necessary for all empirical claims ( e.g. the assumption that reality exists ) . However , theories do not generally make assumptions in the conventional sense ( statements accepted without evidence ) . While assumptions are often incorporated during the formation of new theories , these are either supported by evidence ( such as from previously existing theories ) or the evidence is produced in the course of validating the theory . This may be as simple as observing that the theory makes accurate predictions , which is evidence that any assumptions made at the outset are correct or approximately correct under the conditions tested . Conventional assumptions , without evidence , may be used if the theory is only intended to apply when the assumption is valid ( or approximately valid ) . For example , the special theory of relativity assumes an inertial frame of reference . The theory makes accurate predictions when the assumption is valid , and does not make accurate predictions when the assumption is not valid . Such assumptions are often the point with which older theories are succeeded by new ones ( the general theory of relativity works in non-inertial reference frames as well ) . The term `` assumption '' is actually broader than its standard use , etymologically speaking . The Oxford English Dictionary ( OED ) and online Wiktionary indicate its Latin source as assumere ( `` accept , to take to oneself , adopt , usurp '' ) , which is a conjunction of ad - ( `` to , towards , at '' ) and sumere ( to take ) . The root survives , with shifted meanings , in the Italian sumere and Spanish sumir . The first sense of `` assume '' in the OED is `` to take unto ( oneself ) , receive , accept , adopt '' . The term was originally employed in religious contexts as in `` to receive up into heaven '' , especially `` the reception of the Virgin Mary into heaven , with body preserved from corruption '' , ( 1297 CE ) but it was also simply used to refer to `` receive into association '' or `` adopt into partnership '' . Moreover , other senses of assumere included ( i ) `` investing oneself with ( an attribute ) '' , ( ii ) `` to undertake '' ( especially in Law ) , ( iii ) `` to take to oneself in appearance only , to pretend to possess '' , and ( iv ) `` to suppose a thing to be '' ( all senses from OED entry on `` assume '' ; the OED entry for `` assumption '' is almost perfectly symmetrical in senses ) . Thus , `` assumption '' connotes other associations than the contemporary standard sense of `` that which is assumed or taken for granted ; a supposition , postulate '' ( only the 11th of 12 senses of `` assumption '' , and the 10th of 11 senses of `` assume '' ) . Descriptions ( edit ) From philosophers of science ( edit ) Karl Popper described the characteristics of a scientific theory as follows : It is easy to obtain confirmations , or verifications , for nearly every theory -- if we look for confirmations . Confirmations should count only if they are the result of risky predictions ; that is to say , if , unenlightened by the theory in question , we should have expected an event which was incompatible with the theory -- an event which would have refuted the theory . Every `` good '' scientific theory is a prohibition : it forbids certain things to happen . The more a theory forbids , the better it is . A theory which is not refutable by any conceivable event is non-scientific . Irrefutability is not a virtue of a theory ( as people often think ) but a vice . Every genuine test of a theory is an attempt to falsify it , or to refute it . Testability is falsifiability ; but there are degrees of testability : some theories are more testable , more exposed to refutation , than others ; they take , as it were , greater risks . Confirming evidence should not count except when it is the result of a genuine test of the theory ; and this means that it can be presented as a serious but unsuccessful attempt to falsify the theory . ( I now speak in such cases of `` corroborating evidence '' . ) Some genuinely testable theories , when found to be false , might still be upheld by their admirers -- for example by introducing post hoc ( after the fact ) some auxiliary hypothesis or assumption , or by reinterpreting the theory post hoc in such a way that it escapes refutation . Such a procedure is always possible , but it rescues the theory from refutation only at the price of destroying , or at least lowering , its scientific status , by tampering with evidence . The temptation to tamper can be minimized by first taking the time to write down the testing protocol before embarking on the scientific work . Popper summarized these statements by saying that the central criterion of the scientific status of a theory is its `` falsifiability , or refutability , or testability '' . Echoing this , Stephen Hawking states , `` A theory is a good theory if it satisfies two requirements : It must accurately describe a large class of observations on the basis of a model that contains only a few arbitrary elements , and it must make definite predictions about the results of future observations . '' He also discusses the `` unprovable but falsifiable '' nature of theories , which is a necessary consequence of inductive logic , and that `` you can disprove a theory by finding even a single observation that disagrees with the predictions of the theory '' . Several philosophers and historians of science have , however , argued that Popper 's definition of theory as a set of falsifiable statements is wrong because , as Philip Kitcher has pointed out , if one took a strictly Popperian view of `` theory '' , observations of Uranus when first discovered in 1781 would have `` falsified '' Newton 's celestial mechanics . Rather , people suggested that another planet influenced Uranus ' orbit -- and this prediction was indeed eventually confirmed . Kitcher agrees with Popper that `` There is surely something right in the idea that a science can succeed only if it can fail . '' He also says that scientific theories include statements that can not be falsified , and that good theories must also be creative . He insists we view scientific theories as an `` elaborate collection of statements '' , some of which are not falsifiable , while others -- those he calls `` auxiliary hypotheses '' , are . According to Kitcher , good scientific theories must have three features : Unity : `` A science should be unified ... . Good theories consist of just one problem - solving strategy , or a small family of problem - solving strategies , that can be applied to a wide range of problems . '' Fecundity : `` A great scientific theory , like Newton 's , opens up new areas of research ... . Because a theory presents a new way of looking at the world , it can lead us to ask new questions , and so to embark on new and fruitful lines of inquiry ... . Typically , a flourishing science is incomplete . At any time , it raises more questions than it can currently answer . But incompleteness is not vice . On the contrary , incompleteness is the mother of fecundity ... . A good theory should be productive ; it should raise new questions and presume those questions can be answered without giving up its problem - solving strategies . '' Auxiliary hypotheses that are independently testable : `` An auxiliary hypothesis ought to be testable independently of the particular problem it is introduced to solve , independently of the theory it is designed to save . '' ( For example , the evidence for the existence of Neptune is independent of the anomalies in Uranus 's orbit . ) Like other definitions of theories , including Popper 's , Kitcher makes it clear that a theory must include statements that have observational consequences . But , like the observation of irregularities in the orbit of Uranus , falsification is only one possible consequence of observation . The production of new hypotheses is another possible and equally important result . Analogies and metaphors ( edit ) The concept of a scientific theory has also been described using analogies and metaphors . For instance , the logical empiricist Carl Gustav Hempel likened the structure of a scientific theory to a `` complex spatial network : '' Its terms are represented by the knots , while the threads connecting the latter correspond , in part , to the definitions and , in part , to the fundamental and derivative hypotheses included in the theory . The whole system floats , as it were , above the plane of observation and is anchored to it by the rules of interpretation . These might be viewed as strings which are not part of the network but link certain points of the latter with specific places in the plane of observation . By virtue of these interpretive connections , the network can function as a scientific theory : From certain observational data , we may ascend , via an interpretive string , to some point in the theoretical network , thence proceed , via definitions and hypotheses , to other points , from which another interpretive string permits a descent to the plane of observation . Michael Polanyi made an analogy between a theory and a map : A theory is something other than myself . It may be set out on paper as a system of rules , and it is the more truly a theory the more completely it can be put down in such terms . Mathematical theory reaches the highest perfection in this respect . But even a geographical map fully embodies in itself a set of strict rules for finding one 's way through a region of otherwise uncharted experience . Indeed , all theory may be regarded as a kind of map extended over space and time . A scientific theory can also be thought of as a book that captures the fundamental information about the world , a book that must be researched , written , and shared . In 1623 , Galileo Galilei wrote : Philosophy ( i.e. physics ) is written in this grand book -- I mean the universe -- which stands continually open to our gaze , but it can not be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written . It is written in the language of mathematics , and its characters are triangles , circles , and other geometrical figures , without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it ; without these , one is wandering around in a dark labyrinth . The book metaphor could also be applied in the following passage , by the contemporary philosopher of science Ian Hacking : I myself prefer an Argentine fantasy . God did not write a Book of Nature of the sort that the old Europeans imagined . He wrote a Borgesian library , each book of which is as brief as possible , yet each book of which is inconsistent with every other . No book is redundant . For every book there is some humanly accessible bit of Nature such that that book , and no other , makes possible the comprehension , prediction and influencing of what is going on ... Leibniz said that God chose a world which maximized the variety of phenomena while choosing the simplest laws . Exactly so : but the best way to maximize phenomena and have simplest laws is to have the laws inconsistent with each other , each applying to this or that but none applying to all . In physics ( edit ) In physics , the term theory is generally used for a mathematical framework -- derived from a small set of basic postulates ( usually symmetries -- like equality of locations in space or in time , or identity of electrons , etc . ) -- that is capable of producing experimental predictions for a given category of physical systems . A good example is classical electromagnetism , which encompasses results derived from gauge symmetry ( sometimes called gauge invariance ) in a form of a few equations called Maxwell 's equations . The specific mathematical aspects of classical electromagnetic theory are termed `` laws of electromagnetism , '' reflecting the level of consistent and reproducible evidence that supports them . Within electromagnetic theory generally , there are numerous hypotheses about how electromagnetism applies to specific situations . Many of these hypotheses are already considered to be adequately tested , with new ones always in the making and perhaps untested . An example of the latter might be the radiation reaction force . As of 2009 , its effects on the periodic motion of charges are detectable in synchrotrons , but only as averaged effects over time . Some researchers are now considering experiments that could observe these effects at the instantaneous level ( i.e. not averaged over time ) . Examples ( edit ) Note that many fields of inquiry do not have specific named theories , e.g. developmental biology . Scientific knowledge outside a named theory can still have a high level of certainty , depending on the amount of evidence supporting it . Also note that since theories draw evidence from many different fields , the categorization is not absolute . Biology : cell theory , modern evolutionary synthesis , germ theory , particulate inheritance theory , dual inheritance theory Chemistry : collision theory , kinetic theory of gases , Lewis theory , molecular theory , molecular orbital theory , transition state theory , valence bond theory Physics : atomic theory , Big Bang theory , Dynamo theory , perturbation theory , theory of relativity ( successor to classical mechanics ) , quantum field theory Other : Climate change theory ( from climatology ) , plate tectonics theory ( from geology ) , theories of the origin of the Moon , theories for the Moon illusion Further reading ( edit ) Sellers , Piers ( August 17 , 2016 ) . `` Space , Climate Change , and the Real Meaning of Theory '' .

( June 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) `` The Sweet By - and - By '' Cover of original Lyon & Healy sheet music , 1868 Hymn Published 1868 Composer ( s ) Joseph P. Webster Lyricist ( s ) S. Fillmore Bennett `` The Sweet By - and - By '' is a Christian hymn with lyrics by S. Fillmore Bennett and music by Joseph P. Webster . It is recognizable by its chorus : In the sweet by and by We shall meet on that beautiful shore . In the sweet by and by We shall meet on that beautiful shore . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Performance history 2.1 `` Placentero '' text 2.2 Parodies and satire 3 References 4 Bibliography 5 External links Background ( edit ) Bennett described the composition of the hymn in his autobiography . Mr. Webster , like many musicians , was of an exceedingly nervous and sensitive nature , and subject to periods of depression , in which he looked upon the dark side of all things in life . I had learned his peculiarities so well that on meeting him I could tell at a glance if he was melancholy , and had found that I could rouse him up by giving him a new song to work on . He came into my place of business ( in Elkhorn , Wisconsin ) , walked down to the stove , and turned his back on me without speaking . I was at my desk . Turning to him , I said , `` Webster , what is the matter now ? '' `` It 's no matter , '' he replied , `` it will be all right by and by . '' The idea of the hymn came me like a flash of sunlight , and I replied , `` The Sweet By and By ! Why would not that make a good hymn ? '' `` Maybe it would , '' he said indifferently . Turning to my desk I penned the words of the hymn as fast as I could write . I handed the words to Webster . As he read his eyes kindled , and stepping to the desk he began writing the notes . Taking his violin , he played the melody and then jotted down the notes of the chorus . It was not over thirty minutes from the time I took my pen to write the words before two friends with Webster and myself were singing the hymn. -- Sanford Fillmore Bennett ( 1836 - 1898 ) Performance history ( edit ) The hymn , immensely popular in the nineteenth century , became a Gospel standard and has appeared in hymnals ever since . In the New Orleans jazz tradition ' Sweet By - and - By ' is a standard dirge played in so - called `` jazz funerals '' . The American composer Charles Ives quoted the hymn in several works , most notably in the finale of his Orchestral Set No. 2 , written between 1915 and 1919 . Translations of the text exist in a number of world languages . ' Sweet By - and - By ' continues to be regularly performed . Noteworthy recordings over the years have been made by Elvis Presley , Louis Armstrong , Johnny Cash , Glen Campbell , Dolly Parton , Willie Nelson and Loretta Lynn . The hymn is also heard in films , including Sergeant York ( 1941 ) , Benny and Joon and Django Unchained ( 2012 ) . `` Placentero '' text ( edit ) The 1907 Spanish Latter - day Saint hymnal contained a similar song , titled `` Hay un Mundo Feliz Más Allá '' and set to the same tune modified by adding to all parts the notes of the traditional first response in the call - and - response division of the refrain . This hymn was copied with permission from the American Tract Society 's Himnos evangélicos . During the era of the Mexican Revolution , Andrés C. Gonzalez , an early LDS missionary in Mexico , sang `` Hay un mundo feliz más allá '' in public and was arrested for `` stealing '' the Protestants ' song . While incarcerated , he rewrote the lyrics , which appeased the police . This revised version appears in place of the original in every Spanish LDS hymnal from 1912 on . It was titled `` Despedida '' until the 1992 hymnal , which changed the title to match the first line of the song , `` Placentero nos es trabajar '' . Parodies and satire ( edit ) During the American Civil War , veterans sang a song devoted to `` The Army Bean '' which used a tune derivative of `` The Sweet By - and - By '' . Mark Twain made fun of the song 's ubiquitous popularity , along with the demographic groups in which it became popular , in chapter 17 ( `` A Banquet '' ) of his 1889 satirical novel A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur 's Court . The protagonist , Hank Morgan , a visitor from the future , attends a lavish court dinner given by Morgan Le Fay , King Arthur 's sister , during which guests are regaled with music : In a gallery a band with cymbals , horns , harps , and other horrors , opened the proceedings with what seemed to be the crude first - draft or original agony of the wail known to later centuries as `` In the Sweet Bye and Bye . '' It was new , and ought to have been rehearsed a little more . For some reason or other the queen had the composer hanged , after dinner . The hymn was parodied by Joe Hill in 1911 as `` The Preacher and the Slave '' , in which the phrase `` pie in the sky '' was coined as a satirical comment on the Christian conception of heavenly reward .

The first iPad was released on April 3 , 2010 ; the most recent iPad models are the iPad ( 2017 ) , released on March 24 , 2017 , the 10.5 - inch ( 270 mm ) and 12.9 - inch ( 330 mm ) 2G iPad Pro released on June 13 , 2017 . The user interface is built around the device 's multi-touch screen , including a virtual keyboard . All iPads can connect via Wi - Fi ; some models also have cellular connectivity . As of January 2015 , Apple had sold more than 250 million iPads , though sales peaked in 2013 and it is now the second-most popular kind of tablet computer , by sales , after Android - based types . An iPad can shoot video , take photos , play music , and perform Internet functions such as web - browsing and emailing . Other functions -- games , reference , GPS navigation , social networking , etc. -- can be enabled by downloading and installing apps . As of March 2016 , the App Store has more than one million apps for the iPad by Apple and third parties . There have been seven versions of the iPad . The first generation established design precedents , some of which , such as the home button placement , have persisted through all models . The 2nd - generation iPad ( iPad 2 ) introduced a new thinner design , a dual - core Apple A5 processor , and VGA front - facing and 720p rear - facing cameras designed for FaceTime video calling . The third generation added a Retina Display , the new Apple A5X processor with a quad - core graphics processor , a 5 - megapixel camera , HD 1080p video recording , voice dictation , and 4G ( LTE ) . The fourth generation added the Apple A6X processor and replaced the 30 - pin connector with an all - digital Lightning connector . The iPad Air added the Apple A7 processor and the Apple M7 motion coprocessor , and reduced the thickness for the first time since the iPad 2 . The iPad Air 2 added the Apple A8X processor , the Apple M8 motion coprocessor , an 8 - megapixel camera , and the Touch ID fingerprint sensor ; and further reduced the thickness . The iPad introduced in 2017 added the Apple A9 processor , while sacrificing some of the improvements the iPad Air 2 introduced in exchange for a lower launch price . There have been four versions of the iPad Mini , all of which have a screen size of 7.9 inches ( 20 cm ) . The first generation has similar internal specifications as the iPad 2 but uses the Lightning connector instead . The iPad Mini 2 added the Retina Display , the Apple A7 processor , and the Apple M7 motion coprocessor , closely matching the internal specifications of the iPad Air . The iPad Mini 3 added the Touch ID fingerprint sensor . The iPad Mini 4 features the Apple A8 and the Apple M8 motion coprocessor . There have been two generations of the iPad Pro . The first generation came with 9.7 '' and 12.9 '' screen sizes , while the second came with 10.5 '' and 12.9 '' sizes . The iPad Pros have unique features such as the Smart Connector and the ability to use the Apple Pencil stylus , which are exclusive to this series of iPads .

Apple 's first tablet from 1993 Apple co-founder Steve Jobs said in a 1983 speech that the company 's strategy is really simple . What we want to do is we want to put an incredibly great computer in a book that you can carry around with you and learn how to use in 20 minutes ... and we really want to do it with a radio link in it so you do n't have to hook up to anything and you 're in communication with all of these larger databases and other computers . Apple 's first tablet computer was the Newton MessagePad 100 , introduced in 1993 , powered by an ARM6 processor core developed by ARM , a 1990 spinout of Acorn Computers in which Apple invested . Apple also developed a prototype PowerBook Duo based tablet , the PenLite , but decided not to sell it in order to avoid hurting MessagePad sales . Apple released several more Newton - based PDAs ; the final one , the MessagePad 2100 , was discontinued in 1998 . Apple re-entered the mobile - computing markets in 2007 with the iPhone . Smaller than the iPad , but featuring a camera and mobile phone , it pioneered the multi-touch finger - sensitive touchscreen interface of Apple 's iOS mobile operating system . By late 2009 , the iPad 's release had been rumored for several years . Such speculation mostly talked about `` Apple 's tablet '' ; specific names included iTablet and iSlate . The iPad was announced on January 27 , 2010 , by Steve Jobs at an Apple press conference at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco . Jobs later said that Apple had begun developing the iPad before the iPhone . Jonathan Ive in 1991 had created an industrial design for a stylus - based tablet , the Macintosh Folio , as his first project for Apple ; by 2004 his studio at the company was participating in the development of a large tablet prototype , which he later described as `` very crude , involving projectors '' . Ive stated that after seeking to produce the tablet first , he came to agree with Jobs that the phone was more important , as the tablet 's innovations would work as well in it . The iPad 's internal codename was K48 , which was revealed in the court case surrounding leaking of iPad information before launch . Apple began taking pre-orders for the first - generation iPad on March 12 , 2010 . The only major change to the device between its announcement and being available to pre-order was the change of the behavior of the side switch to perform either sound muting or screen rotation locking ( user selectable ) . The Wi - Fi version of the iPad went on sale in the United States on April 3 , 2010 . The Wi - Fi + 3G version was released on April 30 . 3G service in the United States is provided by AT&T and was initially sold with two prepaid contract - free data plan options : one for unlimited data and the other for 250 MB per month at half the price . On June 2 , 2010 , AT&T announced that effective June 7 the unlimited plan would be replaced for new customers with a 2 GB plan at slightly lower cost ; existing customers would have the option to keep the unlimited plan . The plans are activated on the iPad itself and can be cancelled at any time . Initially , the iPad was only available to order at the Apple Store , but has since become available for purchase through retailers including Amazon , Walmart , and network operators . The iPad was launched in countries including Australia , Canada , France , Germany , Japan and the United Kingdom on May 28 . Online pre-orders in those countries began on May 10 . Apple released the iPad in Hong Kong , Ireland , Mexico , New Zealand and Singapore on July 23 , 2010 . Israel briefly prohibited importation of the iPad because of concerns that its Wi - Fi might interfere with other devices . On September 17 , 2010 , the iPad was officially launched in China . 300,000 iPads were sold on their first day of availability . By May 3 , 2010 , Apple had sold a million iPads ; this was in half the time it took Apple to sell the same number of first - generation iPhones . After passing the one million mark they continued selling rapidly reaching 3 million sales after 80 days . During the October 18 , 2010 , financial conference call , Steve Jobs announced that Apple had sold more iPads than Macs for the fiscal quarter . In total , Apple sold more than 15 million first - generation iPads prior to the launch of the iPad 2 -- selling more than all other tablet PCs combined since the iPad 's release . and reaching 75 % of tablet PC sales at the end of 2010 . Jobs unveiled the iPad 2 at a March 2 , 2011 , press conference . About 33 % thinner than its predecessor and 15 % lighter , the iPad 2 has a better processor , a dual core Apple A5 that Apple says is twice as fast as its predecessor for CPU operations and up to nine times as fast for GPU operations . The iPad 2 includes front and back cameras that support the FaceTime videophone application , as well as a three - axis gyroscope . It retained the original 's 10 ‐ hour battery life and had a similar pricing scheme . The successor to the iPad 2 was unveiled on March 7 , 2012 , by Apple CEO Tim Cook at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts . The new iPad contained a new dual core A5X processor with quad - core graphics , and a Retina Display with a resolution of 2048 by 1536 pixels , more than 50 percent more pixels than a standard 1,920 by 1,080 high definition TV screen . A brief controversy erupted when it was revealed that the LTE advertised did not work in some countries . On October 23 , 2012 , Apple announced the fourth generation iPad , which began shipping on November 2 , 2012 . The new hardware includes an A6X processor , HD FaceTime camera , improved LTE compatibility , and the all - digital Lightning connector . It is available in the same storage increments and pricing structure as the third generation . Following the announcement of the fourth - generation iPad , the previous generation was discontinued . Alongside the launch of the fourth generation hardware , Apple announced the iPad Mini . With a screen measuring 7.9 inches , it is aimed at the emerging sector of smaller tablets such as the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7 . The hardware of the new iPad Mini is similar to the iPad 2 , with a 1024 by 768 pixel resolution screen and a dual core A5 processor , but is 53 % lighter and 7.2 mm thick . It was released on November 2 , 2012 , in 16 GB , 32 GB , and 64 GB capacities and WiFi or Wi ‐ Fi + Cellular versions . On October 22 , 2013 , Apple introduced the fifth generation of iPad , called the iPad Air , and the second generation of iPad Mini , called iPad Mini 2 that comes with a Retina Display . The iPad Air went on sale on November 1 , 2013 , starting at $499 , while the iPad Mini 2 was released on November 12 , 2013 , starting at $399 . In the first quarter of 2014 , Apple reported that it had sold 25 million iPads , an all - time quarterly record , compared to 22.9 million in the year - ago quarter . In October 2014 , Apple released the iPad Air 2 and the iPad Mini 3 . The iPad Air 2 is the first iOS device to feature a triple core CPU and 2GB of RAM . As well as being thinner and faster than its predecessor , the iPad Air , it features Touch ID and is available with a gold color option . The iPad Mini 3 is similar than the iPad Mini 2 in design and hardware , but also includes Touch ID and available in gold color . In September 2015 , the iPad Pro was announced , which included a 12.9 - inch screen , and a 9.7 - inch version was announced in March 2016 , with the addition of 256 GB option for both iPad Pro models . On March 21 , 2017 , a new iPad was announced . The hardware includes an A9 processor and is designed to be a budget version of the iPad . In June 2017 , the iPad Pro 's second generation hardware was announced to have 12.9 and 10.5 - inch screens . Hardware Screen and input The iPad 's ( first two generations ) touchscreen display is a 1024 by 768 pixel , 7.75 × 5.82 in ( 197 × 148 mm ) liquid - crystal display ( diagonal 9.7 in ( 246.4 mm ) ) , with fingerprint - and scratch - resistant glass . Steve Jobs said a 7 - inch screen would be `` too small to express the software '' and that 10 inches was the minimum for a tablet screen . Like the iPhone , the iPad is designed to be controlled by bare fingers ; normal , non-conductive gloves and styli do not work , although there are special gloves and capacitive styli designed for this use . The display responds to other sensors : an ambient light sensor to adjust screen brightness and a 3 - axis accelerometer to sense iPad orientation and switch between portrait and landscape modes . Unlike the iPhone and iPod Touch 's built - in applications , which work in three orientations ( portrait , landscape - left and landscape - right ) , the iPad 's built - in applications support screen rotation in all four orientations , including upside - down . Consequently , the device has no intrinsic `` native '' orientation ; only the relative position of the home button changes . There are four physical switches on the iPad , including a home button near the display that returns the user to the main menu , and three plastic physical switches on the sides : wake / sleep and volume up / down , plus a software - controlled switch whose function has changed with software updates . Originally the switch locked the screen to its current orientation , but the iOS 4.2 changed it to a mute switch , with rotation lock now available in an onscreen menu . In the iOS 4.3 update , released with the iPad 2 , a setting was added to allow the user to specify whether the side switch was used for rotation lock or mute . The first generation iPad had no camera ; the iPad 2 has a front VGA camera and a rear - facing 720p camera , both capable of still images ( but these are only taken at a low quality 0.3 megapixels ) and 30 fps video . The rear - facing camera has a 5 × digital zoom for still images only . Both shoot photo and video in a 4 : 3 fullscreen aspect ratio , unlike the iPhone 4 , which shoots in a 16 : 9 widescreen aspect ratio . Unlike the iPhone , the iPad does not support tap to focus , but does allow a tap to set auto exposure . The cameras allow FaceTime video messaging with iPhone 4 , fourth generation iPod Touch , and Snow Leopard , Lion , and Mountain Lion Macs . Audio and output The iPad has two internal speakers reproducing left and right channel audio located on the bottom - right of the unit . In the original iPad , the speakers push sound through two small sealed channels leading to the three audio ports carved into the device , while the iPad 2 has its speakers behind a single grill . A volume switch is on the right side of the unit . A 3.5 - mm TRRS connector audio - out jack on the top - left corner of the device provides stereo sound for headphones with or without microphones and / or volume controls . The iPad also contains a microphone that can be used for voice recording . The built - in Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR interface allows wireless headphones and keyboards to be used with the iPad . However iOS does not currently support file transfer via Bluetooth . iPad also features 1024 × 768 VGA video output for limited applications , screen capture , connecting an external display or television through an accessory adapter . Battery The iPad uses an internal rechargeable lithium - ion polymer ( LiPo ) battery . The batteries are made in Taiwan by Simplo Technology ( 60 % ) and Dynapack International Technology . The iPad is designed to be charged with a high current of 2 amperes using the included 10 W USB power adapter and USB cord with a USB connector at one end and a 30 - pin dock connector at the other end . While it can be charged by a standard USB port from a computer , these are limited to 500 milliamperes ( 0.5 amps ) . As a result , if the iPad is running while powered by a normal USB computer port , it may charge very slowly , or not at all . High - power USB ports found in newer Apple computers and accessories provide full charging capabilities . Apple claims that the battery for both generations of iPad can provide up to 10 hours of video , 140 hours of audio playback , or one month on standby . Like any rechargeable battery technology , the iPad 's battery loses capacity over time , but is not designed to be user - replaceable . In a program similar to the battery - replacement program for the iPod and the original iPhone , Apple will replace an iPad that does not hold an electrical charge with a refurbished iPad for a fee of US $99 plus $6.95 shipping . As a different unit is supplied , user data is not preserved . The refurbished unit will have a new case . The warranty on the refurbished unit may vary between jurisdictions . Independent companies also provide a battery replacement service , returning the original unit with new battery but original case . Alternatively it is possible for a technically competent user to buy and install a new battery . The task does not require soldering , but is technically challenging . Storage The iPad was released with three capacity options for storage : 16 , 32 , or 64 GB of internal flash memory . On January 29 , 2013 , Apple announced a 128 GB model of the fourth generation iPad , which was released on February 5 . All data is stored on the internal flash memory , with no option to expand storage . Apple sells a `` camera connection kit '' with an SD card reader , but it can only be used to transfer photos and videos . On March 21 , 2016 , Apple announced a 256 GB model of the iPad Pro , which was released on March 31 . In 2017 , Apple released a 10.5 - inch iPad Pro and a revised 12.9 - inch iPad Pro with a 512 GB option , the first of its kind on an iOS device . Cellular connectivity iPad models come in two basic variants : Wi - Fi only and Wi - Fi with cellular support . The cellular variants however do not support circuit - switched voice calls and texts , only data connectivity . The side of the Wi - Fi + 3G iPad had a micro-SIM slot ( not mini-SIM ) . The 3G iPad can be used with any compatible GSM carrier , unlike the iPhone , which is usually sold ' locked ' to specific carriers . On the first generations of the iPad in the U.S. , data network access via T - Mobile 's network was limited to slower EDGE cellular speeds because T - Mobile 's 3G Network at the time used different frequencies . The second generation iPad introduced a third tier of models with CDMA support for Verizon Wireless in the United States , available separately from the AT&T capable version . The iPad up to the 4th generation uses a Micro-SIM , while the first generation iPad Mini uses a nano - SIM as introduced with the iPhone 5 . The iPad mini is available with two different frequency bands worldwide . Both devices support the same quad - band GSM and quad - band UMTS frequencies , but one variant also supports LTE bands 4 and 17 ( principally intended for use on the U.S. AT&T network ) , while the other adds support for LTE bands 1 , 3 , 5 , 13 , 25 and CDMA EV - DO Rev. A and Rev. B . The 5th generation iPad and 2nd generation iPad mini introduced support for many additional LTE bands worldwide . The iPad Air and Mini with Retina display cellular models come in two variants each , all of which support nano - SIMs , quad - band GSM , penta - band UMTS , and dual - band CDMA EV - DO Rev. A and B. Additionally , one variant of each iPad also supports LTE bands 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 7 , 8 , 13 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 25 and 26 while the other variant supports LTE bands 1 , 2 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 8 , 18 , 19 , 20 and TD - LTE bands 38 , 39 and 40 . Apple 's ability to handle many different bands in one device allowed it to offer , for the first time , a single iPad variant which supports all the cellular bands and technologies deployed by all the major North American wireless providers at the time of the device 's introduction . Moreover , with T - Mobile USA selling the iPad Air and Mini with Retina display , these models became the first iPads that were made available for purchase directly from all four nationwide U.S. wireless carriers ( and , as previously indicated , with all U.S. carriers now selling the same hardware variant of the device ) . Accessories Main article : iPad accessories Apple offers several iPad accessories , most of which are adapters for the proprietary 30 - pin dock connector , the iPad 's only port besides the headphone jack . A dock holds the iPad upright at an angle , and has a dock connector and audio line out port . Each generation of iPad requires a corresponding dock . A dock that included a physical keyboard was only supported for the original iPad , but all generations are compatible with Bluetooth keyboards that also work with Macs and PCs . The iPad can be charged by a standalone power adapter ( `` wall charger '' ) also used for iPods and iPhones , and a 10 W charger is included with the iPad . Apple sells a camera connection kit that consists of two separate adapters for the dock connector , one to USB Type A , the other an SD card reader . Adapter can be used to transfer photos and videos and to plug USB audio card or MIDI keyboard . A third party sells an adapter that includes USB , SD , and microSD on a single unit . An adapter to VGA connectors allows the iPad to work with external monitors and projectors . Another adapter mirrors the screen onto HDMI compatible devices in 1080p and works with all apps and rotations . Unlike other adapters , it allows the iPad to charge through another dock connector . While the HDMI adapter was released with and advertised for the second generation iPad , it also works with the first - generation iPad , the iPhone 4 , and the fourth generation iPod Touch . Smart Covers are screen protectors that magnetically attach and align to the face of the iPad 2 , 3 , or 4 . The cover has three folds which allow it to convert into a stand , which is also held together by magnets . While original iPad owners could purchase a black case that included a similarly folding cover , the Smart Cover is meant to be more minimal , easily detachable , and protects only the screen . Smart Covers have a microfiber bottom that cleans the front of the iPad ( which wakes up when the cover is removed ) . There are five different colors of both polyurethane and leather , with leather being more expensive . Smart Covers are not compatible with the original iPad . In June 2012 , Apple started selling the Smart Case - a case with the combined function of a smart cover and a back protection case which is compatible with the iPad 2 , and iPad 3rd & 4th generation devices . Software Main articles : iOS and iOS version history Like the iPhone , with which it shares a development environment the iPad only runs its own software , software downloaded from Apple 's App Store , and software written by developers who have paid for a developer 's license on registered devices . The iPad runs almost all third - party iPhone applications , displaying them at iPhone size or enlarging them to fill the iPad 's screen . Developers may also create or modify apps to take advantage of the iPad 's features , and there are one million apps optimized for the iPad , as of March 2016 . Application developers use iOS SDK for developing applications for iPad . The iPad originally shipped with a customized iPad - only version of iPhone OS , dubbed v3. 2 . On September 1 , it was announced the iPad would get iOS 4.2 by November 2010 ; to fulfill this Apple released iOS 4.2. 1 to the public on November 22 . Interface The interface is centred around the home screen , a graphical list of available applications . The home screen can be accessed at any time by a hardware button below the screen , closing an open application in the process . Users can also add and delete icons from the dock , which is the same on every home screen . Each home screen holds up to twenty icons , and the dock holds up to six icons . Users can delete Web Clips and third - party applications at any time , and may select only certain applications for transfer from iTunes . Apple 's default programs , however , may not be removed . Almost all input is given through the touch screen , which understands complex gestures using multi-touch . The iPad 's interaction techniques enable the user to move the content up or down by a touch - drag motion of the finger . For example , zooming in and out of web pages and photos is done by placing two fingers on the screen and spreading them farther apart or bringing them closer together , a gesture known as `` pinching '' . Scrolling through a long list or menu is achieved by sliding a finger over the display from bottom to top , or vice versa to go back . In either case , the list moves as if it is pasted on the outer surface of a wheel , slowly decelerating as if affected by friction . In this way , the interface simulates the physics of a real object . Other user - centered interactive effects include horizontally sliding sub-selection , the vertically sliding keyboard and bookmarks menu , and widgets that turn around to allow settings to be configured on the other side . Menu bars are found at the top and bottom of the screen when necessary . Their options vary by program , but always follow a consistent style motif . In menu hierarchies , a `` back '' button in the top - left corner of the screen displays the name of the parent folder . Multimedia The layout of the music library is similar to an iPod or current Symbian S60 phones . The iPad can sort its media library by songs , artists , albums , videos , playlists , genres , composers , podcasts , audiobooks , and compilations . Options are always presented alphabetically , except in playlists , which retain their order from iTunes . The iPhone uses a large font that allows users plenty of room to touch their selection . Users can rotate their device horizontally to landscape mode to access Cover Flow , likewise this feature may be disabled if purposely wishing to view a screen from another angle . Like on iTunes , this feature shows the different album covers in a scroll - through photo library . Scrolling is achieved by swiping a finger across the screen . Alternatively , headset controls can be used to pause , play , skip , and repeat tracks . The iPad supports gapless playback . Like the fifth - generation iPods introduced in 2005 , the iPad can play digital video , allowing users to watch TV shows and movies in widescreen . Double - tapping switches between widescreen and fullscreen video playback . The iPad allows users to purchase and download songs from the iTunes Store directly to their iPad . It includes software that allows the user to upload , view , and email photos taken with the camera . The user zooms in and out of photos by sliding two fingers further apart or closer together , much like Safari . The Camera application also lets users view the camera roll , the pictures that have been taken with the iPad 's camera . Those pictures are also available in the Photos application , along with any transferred from iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac , or Photoshop on a Windows PC . Internet connectivity The iPad can use Wi - Fi network trilateration from Skyhook Wireless to provide location information to applications such as Google Maps . The 3G model supports A-GPS to allow its position to be calculated with GPS or relative to nearby cellphone towers ; it also has a black strip on the back to aid 3G reception . The iPad has a headphone jack and a proprietary Apple dock connector , but no Ethernet or USB port . However , the Apple Camera Connection Kit accessory provides two dock connector adapters for importing photos and videos via USB and SD memory cards . Applications The iPad comes with several applications , including Safari , Mail , Photos , Video , iPod , iTunes , App Store , iBooks , Maps , Notes , Calendar , and Contacts . Several are improved versions of applications developed for the iPhone or Mac . The iPad syncs with iTunes on a Mac or Windows PC . Apple ported its iWork suite from the Mac to the iPad , and sells pared down versions of Pages , Numbers , and Keynote apps in the App Store . Although the iPad is not designed to replace a mobile phone , a user can use a wired headset or the built - in speaker and microphone and place telephone calls over Wi - Fi or 3G using a VoIP application . As of June 2012 , there were about 225,000 iPad specific apps on the App Store . In December 2010 , Reuters reported that iPhone and iPad users have lodged a lawsuit against Apple alleging that some applications were passing their information to third party advertisers without consent . IBooks Further information : iBookstore The iPad has an optional iBooks application that can be downloaded from the App Store , which displays books and other ePub - format content downloaded from the iBookstore . For the iPad launch on April 3 , 2010 , the iBookstore is available only in the United States . Several major book publishers including Penguin Books , HarperCollins , Simon & Schuster and Macmillan have committed to publishing books for the iPad . Despite its being a direct competitor to both the Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble Nook , both Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble have made Kindle and Nook apps available for the iPad . In February 2010 , Condé Nast said it would sell iPad subscriptions for several of its magazines by June . In April 2010 , The New York Times announced that it would begin publishing daily on the iPad . The `` Top News '' section is available free of charge , and the remainder on payment of a subscription . Major news organizations , including The Wall Street Journal , the BBC , and Reuters have released iPad applications . NewsCorp created an iPad - only publication , The Daily , in February 2011 . It ceased operations in December 2012 .

The iPad does not employ digital rights management ( DRM ) , but the OS prevents users from copying or transferring certain content outside of Apple 's platform without authorization , such as TV shows , movies , and apps . Also , the iPad 's development model requires anyone creating an app for the iPad to sign a non-disclosure agreement and pay for a developer subscription . Critics argue Apple 's centralized app approval process and control of the platform itself could stifle software innovation . Of particular concern to digital rights advocates is Apple 's ability to remotely disable or delete apps on any iPad at any time . Digital rights advocates , including the Free Software Foundation , Electronic Frontier Foundation , and computer engineer and activist Brewster Kahle , have criticized the iPad for its digital rights restrictions . In April 2010 , Paul Sweeting , an analyst with GigaOM , was quoted by National Public Radio as saying , `` With the iPad , you have the anti-Internet in your hands ... It offers ( the major media companies ) the opportunity to essentially re-create the old business model , wherein they are pushing content to you on their terms rather than you going out and finding content , or a search engine discovering content for you . '' But Sweeting also thought that the limitations imposed by Apple impart the feeling of a safe neighborhood , saying , `` Apple is offering you a gated community where there 's a guard at the gate , and there 's probably maid service , too . '' Laura Sydell , the article 's author , concludes , `` As more consumers have fears about security on the Internet , viruses and malware , they may be happy to opt for Apple 's gated community . '' The Russian government has switched from iPads to Android devices over security concerns . Jailbreaking For more details on iPad jailbreaking , see iOS jailbreaking . Like certain iOS devices , the iPad can be `` jailbroken '' , depending on which version of iOS it is running , thus allowing applications and programs that are not authorized by Apple to run on the device . Once it is jailbroken , users are able to download many applications previously unavailable through the App Store via unofficial installers such as Cydia , as well as illegally pirated applications . Apple claims jailbreaking `` can '' void the factory warranty on the device in the United States even though jailbreaking is legal . The iPad , released in April 2010 , was first jailbroken in May 2010 with the Spirit jailbreak for iOS version 3.1. 2 . The iPad can be jailbroken on iOS versions 4.3 through 4.3. 3 with the web - based tool JailbreakMe 3.0 ( released in July 2011 ) , and on iOS versions including 5.0 and 5.0. 1 using redsn0w Absinthe 2.0 was released on May 25 , 2012 as the first jailbreak method for all iOS 5.1. 1 devices except the 32 nm version of the iPad 2 . Censorship Apple 's App Store , which provides iPhone and iPad applications , imposes censorship of content , which has become an issue for book publishers and magazines seeking to use the platform . The Guardian newspaper described the role of Apple as analogous to that of British magazine distributor WH Smith , which for many years imposed content restrictions . Due to the exclusion of pornography from the App Store , YouPorn and others changed their video format from Flash to H. 264 and HTML5 specifically for the iPad . In an e-mail exchange with Ryan Tate from Valleywag , Steve Jobs claimed that the iPad offers `` freedom from porn '' , leading to many upset replies including Adbustings in Berlin by artist Johannes P. Osterhoff and in San Francisco during WWDC10 . Reception On May 28 , 2010 , the iPad was released in Australia , Canada , and Japan , as well as in several larger European countries . Media reaction to the launch was mixed . The media noted the positive response from fans of the device , with thousands of people queued on the first day of sale in a number of these countries . Protesters of manufacturing conditions of the iPad in San Francisco in 2010 Reaction to the announcement Media reaction to the iPad announcement was mixed . Walter Mossberg wrote , `` It 's about the software , stupid '' , meaning hardware features and build are less important to the iPad 's success than software and user interface , his first impressions of which were largely positive . Mossberg also called the price `` modest '' for a device of its capabilities , and praised the ten - hour battery life . Others , including PC Advisor and the Sydney Morning Herald , wrote that the iPad would also compete with proliferating netbooks , most of which use Microsoft Windows . The base model 's $499 price was lower than pre-release estimates by the tech press , Wall Street analysts , and Apple 's competitors , all of whom were expecting a much higher entry price point . CNET also criticized the iPad for its apparent lack of wireless sync which other portable devices such as Microsoft 's Zune have had for a number of years . The built - in iTunes app is able to download from the Internet as well . Reviews Reviews of the iPad have been generally favorable . Walt Mossberg then , of The Wall Street Journal called it a `` pretty close '' laptop killer . David Pogue of The New York Times wrote a `` dual '' review , one part for technology - minded people , and the other part for non-technology - minded people . In the former section , he notes that a laptop offers more features for a cheaper price than the iPad . In his review for the latter audience , however , he claims that if his readers like the concept of the device and can understand what its intended uses are , then they will enjoy using the device . PC Magazine 's Tim Gideon wrote , `` you have yourself a winner '' that `` will undoubtedly be a driving force in shaping the emerging tablet landscape . '' Michael Arrington of TechCrunch said , `` the iPad beats even my most optimistic expectations . This is a new category of device . But it also will replace laptops for many people . '' PC World criticized the iPad 's file sharing and printing abilities , and Ars Technica said sharing files with a computer is `` one of our least favorite parts of the iPad experience . '' The media also praised the quantity of applications , as well as the bookstore and other media applications . In contrast they criticized the iPad for being a closed system and mentioned that the iPad faces competition from Android - based tablets , that outsold iPads in 2013 , surpassing iPads in the second quarter of 2013 , and have overtaken iPad 's installed base , and has lost majority of web browsing to Android , by StatCounter estimates , in South America , Africa , most of Asia -- many large countries there and in Eastern Europe . The Independent criticized the iPad for not being as readable in bright light as paper but praised it for being able to store large quantities of books . After its UK release , The Daily Telegraph said the iPad 's lack of Adobe Flash support was `` annoying . '' Recognition The iPad was selected by Time magazine as one of the 50 Best Inventions of the Year 2010 , while Popular Science chose it as the top gadget behind the overall `` Best of What 's New 2010 '' winner Groasis Waterboxx . Usage Market share iPad tablets still have a wide margin globally on second most used Android tablets . The market share , however , differs widely by regions ; and the iPad has lost market share globally , every year since 2012 ( when StatCounter started tracking tablets separately ) . According to StatCounter statistics , that tracks web use and gives operating system / platform share based on it , the iPad has lost majority of use in South America to Android , did also lose majority while gaining back in Asia and in Africa has lost by a wide margin , where Android is up to 70 % . Business While the iPad is mostly used by consumers , it also has been taken up by business users . Within 90 days of its release , the iPad managed to penetrate 50 % of Fortune 100 companies . Some companies are adopting iPads in their business offices by distributing or making available iPads to employees . Examples of uses in the workplace include attorneys responding to clients , medical professionals accessing health records during patient exams , and managers approving employee requests . A survey by Frost & Sullivan shows that iPad usage in office workplaces is linked to the goals of increased employee productivity , reduced paperwork , and increased revenue . The research firm estimates that `` The mobile - office application market in North America may reach $6.85 billion in 2015 , up from an estimated $1.76 billion ( in 2010 ) . '' Since March 2011 , the US Federal Aviation Administration has approved the iPad for in - cockpit use to cut down on the paper consumption in several airlines . In 2011 , Alaska Airlines became the first airline to replace pilots ' paper manuals with iPads , weighing 0.68 kg compared to 11 kg for the printed flight manuals . It hopes to have fewer back and muscle injuries . More than a dozen airlines have followed suit , including United , which has distributed 11,000 iPads to cockpits . Also , many airlines now offer their inflight magazine as a downloadable application for the iPad . Education and healthcare The iPad has several uses in the classroom , and has been praised as a valuable tool for homeschooling . Soon after the iPad was released , it was reported that 81 % of the top book apps were for children . The iPad has also been called a revolutionary tool to help children with autism learn how to communicate and socialize more easily . In the healthcare field , iPads and iPhones have been used to help hospitals manage their supply chain . For example , Novation , a healthcare contracting services company , developed VHA PriceLynx ( based on the mobile application platform of business intelligence software vendor MicroStrategy ) , a business intelligence app to help health care organizations manage its purchasing procedures more efficiently and save money for hospitals . Guillermo Ramas of Novation states , `` Doctors wo n't walk around a hospital with a laptop . With an iPad it 's perfect to walk around the hospital with as long as they have the information they need . '' In 2013 , Gianna Chien ( aged 14 ) presented to more than 8,000 doctors at the Heart Rhythm Society meeting that Apple iPad 2 can , in some cases , interfere with life - saving heart devices ( pace maker ) because of the magnets inside . Apple 's webpage has advised pacemaker users to keep iPads at least 6 - inches away from the pacemaker . Consumer usage In the United States , fans attending Super Bowl XLV , the first Super Bowl since the iPad was released , could use an official National Football League ( NFL ) app to navigate Cowboys Stadium . In 2011 , the Tampa Bay Buccaneers became the first NFL club to discontinue the use of paper copies of playbooks , and instead distributed all players their playbook and videos in electronic format via an iPad 2 . The iPad is able to support many music creation applications in addition to the iTunes music playback software . These include sound samplers , guitar and voice effects processors , sequencers for synthesized sounds and sampled loops , virtual synthesizers and drum machines , theremin - style and other touch responsive instruments , drum pads and many more . Gorillaz 's 2010 album , The Fall , was created almost exclusively using the iPad by Damon Albarn while on tour with the band . The music video for Luna Sea 's 2012 single , `` Rouge '' , was filmed entirely on an iPad . The iPad has also greatly increased social television use . Viewers can use the iPad as a convenient second networked computer ( or `` second screen '' ) for communicating with other viewers or with the television provider . Viewers can use a web browser or specialised applications to discuss a program with other viewers , while it is being broadcast , while content providers may use the second screen to interact with viewers in real time . For example , the latter facility allows content providers to conduct real - time polls or to collect comments about the program , that can be displayed as text on the main television screen . Viewer interaction via a second screen is becoming increasingly popular . Timeline Source : Apple press release library See also Apple Inc. portal Book : Apple Inc .

Colombia ( / kəˈlʌmbiə / kə - LUM - biə or / kəˈlɒmbiə / kə - LOM - biə ; Spanish : ( ko̞ˈlõ̞mbjä ) ( listen ) ) , officially the Republic of Colombia ( Spanish : República de Colombia ( help info ) ) , is a sovereign state largely situated in the northwest of South America , with territories in Central America . Colombia shares a border to the northwest with Panama , to the east with Venezuela and Brazil and to the south with Ecuador and Peru . It shares its maritime limits with Costa Rica , Nicaragua , Honduras , Jamaica , Haiti and the Dominican Republic . It is a unitary , constitutional republic comprising thirty - two departments . The territory of what is now Colombia was originally inhabited by indigenous peoples , including the Muisca , Quimbaya and the Tairona . The Spanish set foot on Colombian soil for the first time in 1499 and in the first half of the 16th century initiated a period of conquest and colonization , ultimately creating the New Kingdom of Granada , with as capital Santafé de Bogotá . Independence from Spain was acquired in 1819 , but by 1830 the `` Gran Colombia '' Federation was dissolved . What is now Colombia and Panama emerged as the Republic of New Granada . The new nation experimented with federalism as the Granadine Confederation ( 1858 ) , and then the United States of Colombia ( 1863 ) , before the Republic of Colombia was finally declared in 1886 . Panama seceded in 1903 . Since the 1960s , the country has suffered from an asymmetric low - intensity armed conflict , which escalated in the 1990s but then decreased from 2005 onward . Colombia is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse countries in the world , and thereby possesses a rich cultural heritage . The urban centres are mostly located in the highlands of the Andes mountains . Colombian territory also encompasses Amazon rainforest , tropical grassland and both Caribbean and Pacific coastlines . Ecologically , it is one of the world 's 17 megadiverse countries , and the most densely biodiverse of these per square kilometer . Colombia is a middle power and a regional actor with the fourth - largest economy in Latin America , is part of the CIVETS group of six leading emerging markets and is a member of the UN , the WTO , the OAS , the Pacific Alliance , and other international organizations . Colombia has a diversified economy with macroeconomic stability and favorable growth prospects in the long run .

It was conceived by the Venezuelan revolutionary Francisco de Miranda as a reference to all the New World , but especially to those portions under Spanish and Portuguese rule . The name was later adopted by the Republic of Colombia of 1819 , formed from the territories of the old Viceroyalty of New Granada ( modern - day Colombia , Panama , Venezuela , Ecuador , and northwest Brazil ) . When Venezuela , Ecuador and Cundinamarca came to exist as independent states , the former Department of Cundinamarca adopted the name `` Republic of New Granada '' . New Granada officially changed its name in 1858 to the Granadine Confederation . In 1863 the name was again changed , this time to United States of Colombia , before finally adopting its present name -- the Republic of Colombia -- in 1886 . To refer to this country , the Colombian government uses the terms Colombia and República de Colombia . History Main articles : History of Colombia and Timeline of Colombian history Pre-Columbian era San Agustín Archaeological Park Ciudad Perdida ( `` The Lost City '' ) Owing to its location , the present territory of Colombia was a corridor of early human migration from Mesoamerica and the Caribbean to the Andes and Amazon basin . The oldest archaeological finds are from the Pubenza and El Totumo sites in the Magdalena Valley 100 kilometres ( 62 mi ) southwest of Bogotá . These sites date from the Paleoindian period ( 18,000 -- 8000 BCE ) . At Puerto Hormiga and other sites , traces from the Archaic Period ( ~ 8000 -- 2000 BCE ) have been found . Vestiges indicate that there was also early occupation in the regions of El Abra and Tequendama in Cundinamarca . The oldest pottery discovered in the Americas , found at San Jacinto , dates to 5000 -- 4000 BCE . Muisca raft . The figure refers to the ceremony of the legend of El Dorado . Indigenous people inhabited the territory that is now Colombia by 12,500 BCE . Nomadic hunter - gatherer tribes at the El Abra , Tibitó and Tequendama sites near present - day Bogotá traded with one another and with other cultures from the Magdalena River Valley . Between 5000 and 1000 BCE , hunter - gatherer tribes transitioned to agrarian societies ; fixed settlements were established , and pottery appeared . Beginning in the 1st millennium BCE , groups of Amerindians including the Muisca , Quimbaya , and Tairona developed the political system of cacicazgos with a pyramidal structure of power headed by caciques . The Muisca inhabited mainly the area of what is now the Departments of Boyacá and Cundinamarca high plateau ( Altiplano Cundiboyacense ) where they formed the Muisca Confederation . They farmed maize , potato , quinoa and cotton , and traded gold , emeralds , blankets , ceramic handicrafts , coca and especially rock salt with neighboring nations . The Tairona inhabited northern Colombia in the isolated mountain range of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta . The Quimbaya inhabited regions of the Cauca River Valley between the Western and Central Ranges of the Colombian Andes . Most of the Amerindians practiced agriculture and the social structure of each indigenous community was different . Some groups of indigenous people such as the Caribs lived in a state of permanent war , but others had less bellicose attitudes . The Incas expanded their empire onto the southwest part of the country . Spanish conquest Map of Juan de la Cosa . It is the oldest known European cartographic representation of the New World . Alonso de Ojeda ( who had sailed with Columbus ) reached the Guajira Peninsula in 1499 . Spanish explorers , led by Rodrigo de Bastidas , made the first exploration of the Caribbean coast in 1500 . Christopher Columbus navigated near the Caribbean in 1502 . In 1508 , Vasco Núñez de Balboa accompanied an expedition to the territory through the region of Gulf of Urabá and they founded the town of Santa María la Antigua del Darién in 1510 , the first stable settlement on the continent . Santa Marta was founded in 1525 , and Cartagena in 1533 . Spanish conquistador Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada led an expedition to the interior in April 1536 , and christened the districts through which he passed `` New Kingdom of Granada '' . In August 1538 , he founded provisionally its capital near the Muisca cacicazgo of Bacatá , and named it `` Santa Fe '' . The name soon acquired a suffix and was called Santa Fe de Bogotá . Two other notable journeys by early conquistadors to the interior took place in the same period . Sebastián de Belalcázar , conqueror of Quito , traveled north and founded Cali , in 1536 , and Popayán , in 1537 ; from 1536 to 1539 , German conquistador Nikolaus Federmann crossed the Llanos Orientales and went over the Cordillera Oriental in a search for El Dorado , the `` city of gold '' . The legend and the gold would play a pivotal role in luring the Spanish and other Europeans to New Granada during the 16th and 17th centuries . The conquistadors made frequent alliances with the enemies of different indigenous communities . Indigenous allies were crucial to conquest , as well as to creating and maintaining empire . Indigenous peoples in New Granada experienced a decline in population due to conquest as well as Eurasian diseases , such as smallpox , to which they had no immunity . With the risk that the land was deserted , the Spanish Crown sold properties to all persons interested in colonise territories creating large farms and possession of mines . In the 16th century , the nautical science in Spain reached a great development thanks to numerous scientific figures of the Casa de Contratación and nautical science was an essential pillar of the Iberian expansion . Colonial period In 1542 , the region of New Granada , along with all other Spanish possessions in South America , became part of the Viceroyalty of Peru , with its capital at Lima . In 1547 , New Granada became the Captaincy - General of New Granada within the viceroyalty . In 1549 , the Royal Audiencia was created by a royal decree , and New Granada was ruled by the Royal Audience of Santa Fe de Bogotá , which at that time comprised the provinces of Santa Marta , Rio de San Juan , Popayán , Guayana and Cartagena . But important decisions were taken from the colony to Spain by the Council of the Indies . Attack of the British army on Cartagena de Indias . The battle resulted in a major defeat for the British Navy and Army during the War of Jenkins ' Ear , 1739 -- 48 . In the 16th century , Europeans began to bring slaves from Africa . Spain was the only European power that could not establish factories in Africa to purchase slaves and therefore the Spanish empire relied on the asiento system , awarding merchants ( mostly from Portugal , France , England and the Dutch Empire ) the license to trade enslaved people to their overseas territories . Also there were people who defended the human rights and freedoms of oppressed peoples . The indigenous peoples could not be enslaved because they were legally subjects of the Spanish Crown and to protect the indigenous peoples , several forms of land ownership and regulation were established : resguardos , encomiendas and haciendas . Many intellectual leaders of the independence process participated in the Royal Botanical Expedition to New Granada . In 1717 the Viceroyalty of New Granada was originally created , and then it was temporarily removed , to finally be reestablished in 1739 . The Viceroyalty had Santa Fé de Bogotá as its capital . This Viceroyalty included some other provinces of northwestern South America which had previously been under the jurisdiction of the Viceroyalties of New Spain or Peru and correspond mainly to today 's Venezuela , Ecuador and Panama . So , Bogotá became one of the principal administrative centers of the Spanish possessions in the New World , along with Lima and Mexico City , though it remained somewhat backward compared to those two cities in several economic and logistical ways . After Great Britain declared war on Spain in 1739 , Cartagena quickly became the British forces ' top target but an upset Spanish victory during the War of Jenkins ' Ear , a war with Great Britain for economic control of the Caribbean , cemented Spanish dominance in the Caribbean until the Seven Years ' War . The 18th - century priest , botanist and mathematician José Celestino Mutis was delegated by Viceroy Antonio Caballero y Góngora to conduct an inventory of the nature of the New Granada . Started in 1783 , this became known as the Royal Botanical Expedition to New Granada which classified plants , wildlife and founded the first astronomical observatory in the city of Santa Fe de Bogotá . In July 1801 the Prussian scientist Alexander von Humboldt reached Santa Fe de Bogotá where he met with Mutis . In addition , historical figures in the process of independence in New Granada emerged from the expedition as the astronomer Francisco José de Caldas , the scientist Francisco Antonio Zea , the zoologist Jorge Tadeo Lozano and the painter Salvador Rizo . Independence The Battle of Boyacá was the decisive battle which would ensure the success of the liberation campaign of New Granada . Since the beginning of the periods of conquest and colonization , there were several rebel movements against Spanish rule , but most were either crushed or remained too weak to change the overall situation . The last one that sought outright independence from Spain sprang up around 1810 , following the independence of St. Domingue ( present - day Haiti ) in 1804 , which provided some support to an eventual leader of this rebellion : Simón Bolívar . Francisco de Paula Santander also would play a decisive role . The Socorro Province was the site of the genesis of the independence process . A movement was initiated by Antonio Nariño , who opposed Spanish centralism and led the opposition against the Viceroyalty . Cartagena became independent in November 1811 . In 1811 the United Provinces of New Granada were proclaimed , headed by Camilo Torres Tenorio . The emergence of two distinct ideological currents among the patriots ( federalism and centralism ) gave rise to a period of instability . Shortly after the Napoleonic Wars ended , Ferdinand VII , recently restored to the throne in Spain , unexpectedly decided to send military forces to retake most of northern South America . The viceroyalty was restored under the command of Juan Sámano , whose regime punished those who participated in the patriotic movements , ignoring the political nuances of the juntas . The retribution stoked renewed rebellion , which , combined with a weakened Spain , made possible a successful rebellion led by the Venezuelan - born Simón Bolívar , who finally proclaimed independence in 1819 . The pro-Spanish resistance was defeated in 1822 in the present territory of Colombia and in 1823 in Venezuela . The territory of the Viceroyalty of New Granada became the Republic of Colombia , organized as a union of the current territories of Colombia , Panama , Ecuador , Venezuela , parts of Guyana and Brazil and north of Marañón River . The Congress of Cúcuta in 1821 adopted a constitution for the new Republic . Simón Bolívar became the first President of Colombia , and Francisco de Paula Santander was made Vice President . However , the new republic was unstable and three countries emerged from the collapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 ( New Granada , Ecuador and Venezuela ) . Formation of the present Colombia since the Viceroyalty of New Granada 's independence from the Spanish Empire Colombia was the first constitutional government in South America , and the Liberal and Conservative parties , founded in 1848 and 1849 respectively , are two of the oldest surviving political parties in the Americas . Slavery was abolished in the country in 1851 . Internal political and territorial divisions led to the dissolution of Gran Colombia in 1830 . The so - called `` Department of Cundinamarca '' adopted the name `` New Granada '' , which it kept until 1858 when it became the `` Confederación Granadina '' ( Granadine Confederation ) . After a two - year civil war in 1863 , the `` United States of Colombia '' was created , lasting until 1886 , when the country finally became known as the Republic of Colombia . Internal divisions remained between the bipartisan political forces , occasionally igniting very bloody civil wars , the most significant being the Thousand Days ' War ( 1899 -- 1902 ) . 20th century The United States of America 's intentions to influence the area ( especially the Panama Canal construction and control ) led to the separation of the Department of Panama in 1903 and the establishment of it as a nation . The United States paid Colombia $25,000,000 in 1921 , seven years after completion of the canal , for redress of President Roosevelt 's role in the creation of Panama , and Colombia recognized Panama under the terms of the Thomson -- Urrutia Treaty . Colombia and Peru went to war because of territory disputes far in the Amazon basin . The war ended with a peace deal brokered by the League of Nations . The League finally awarded the disputed area to Colombia in June 1934 . The Bogotazo in 1948 Soon after , Colombia achieved some degree of political stability , which was interrupted by a bloody conflict that took place between the late 1940s and the early 1950s , a period known as La Violencia ( `` The Violence '' ) . Its cause was mainly mounting tensions between the two leading political parties , which subsequently ignited after the assassination of the Liberal presidential candidate Jorge Eliécer Gaitán on 9 April 1948 . The ensuing riots in Bogotá , known as El Bogotazo , spread throughout the country and claimed the lives of at least 180,000 Colombians . Colombia entered the Korean War when Laureano Gómez was elected president . It was the only Latin American country to join the war in a direct military role as an ally of the United States . Particularly important was the resistance of the Colombian troops at Old Baldy . The violence between the two political parties decreased first when Gustavo Rojas deposed the President of Colombia in a coup d'état and negotiated with the guerrillas , and then under the military junta of General Gabriel París . The Axis of Peace and Memory : A `` memorial '' to the victims of the conflict After Rojas ' deposition , the Colombian Conservative Party and Colombian Liberal Party agreed to create the National Front , a coalition which would jointly govern the country . Under the deal , the presidency would alternate between conservatives and liberals every 4 years for 16 years ; the two parties would have parity in all other elective offices . The National Front ended `` La Violencia '' , and National Front administrations attempted to institute far - reaching social and economic reforms in cooperation with the Alliance for Progress . Despite the progress in certain sectors , many social and political problems continued , and guerrilla groups were formally created such as the FARC , the ELN and the M - 19 to fight the government and political apparatus . Since the 1960s , the country has suffered from an asymmetric low - intensity armed conflict between government forces , leftist guerrilla groups and right wing paramilitaries . The conflict escalated in the 1990s , mainly in remote rural areas . Since the beginning of the armed conflict , human rights defenders have fought for the respect for human rights , despite staggering opposition . Several guerrillas ' organizations decided to demobilize after peace negotiations in 1989 -- 1994 . The United States has been heavily involved in the conflict since its beginnings , when in the early 1960s the U.S. government encouraged the Colombian military to attack leftist militias in rural Colombia . This was part of the U.S. fight against communism . Mercenaries and multinational corporations such as Chiquita Brands International are some of the international actors that have contributed to the violence of the conflict . On 4 July 1991 , a new Constitution was promulgated . The changes generated by the new constitution are viewed as positive by Colombian society . 21st century President Juan Manuel Santos signed a peace accord . The administration of President Álvaro Uribe ( 2002 -- 10 ) , adopted the democratic security policy which included an integrated counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency campaign . The Government economic plan also promoted confidence in investors . As part of a controversial peace process the AUC ( right - wing paramilitaries ) as a formal organization had ceased to function . In February 2008 , millions of Colombians demonstrated against FARC and other outlawed groups . After peace negotiations in Cuba , the Colombian government of President Juan Manuel Santos and guerrilla of FARC - EP announced a final agreement to end the conflict . However , a referendum to ratify the deal was unsuccessful . Afterward , the Colombian government and the FARC signed a revised peace deal in November 2016 , which the Colombian congress approved . In 2016 , President Santos was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize . The Government began a process of attention and comprehensive reparation for victims of conflict . Colombia shows modest progress in the struggle to defend human rights , as expressed by HRW . A Special Jurisdiction for Peace has been created to investigate , clarify , prosecute and punish serious human rights violations and grave breaches of international humanitarian law which occurred during the armed conflict and to satisfy victims ' right to justice . During his visit to Colombia , Pope Francis paid tribute to the victims of the conflict . In terms of international relations , Colombia and Venezuela have agreed to restore diplomatic relations . Colombian authorities due to the situation in Venezuela are preparing an emergency contingency plan . Latin America , with a long memory of U.S. interventions such as the infamous Operation Condor , rejects US military threat against Venezuela . Colombia 's Foreign Ministry said that all efforts to resolve Venezuela 's crisis should be peaceful and respect its sovereignty . Colombia proposed the idea of the Sustainable Development Goals and a final document was adopted by the United Nations . Colombia with a very clean electricity generation matrix reaffirms its support for the Paris Climate Agreement . Geography Main article : Geography of Colombia See also : Geology of Colombia , List of national parks of Colombia , and List of rivers in Colombia Relief map The geography of Colombia is characterized by its six main natural regions that present their own unique characteristics , from the Andes mountain range region shared with Ecuador and Venezuela ; the Pacific coastal region shared with Panama and Ecuador ; the Caribbean coastal region shared with Venezuela and Panama ; the Llanos ( plains ) shared with Venezuela ; the Amazon Rainforest region shared with Venezuela , Brazil , Peru and Ecuador ; to the insular area , comprising islands in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans . Colombia is bordered to the northwest by Panama ; to the east by Venezuela and Brazil ; to the south by Ecuador and Peru ; it established its maritime boundaries with neighboring countries through seven agreements on the Caribbean Sea and three on the Pacific Ocean . It lies between latitudes 12 ° N and 4 ° S , and longitudes 67 ° and 79 ° W . Colombia map of Köppen climate classification Part of the Ring of Fire , a region of the world subject to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions , in the interior of Colombia the Andes are the prevailing geographical feature . Most of Colombia 's population centers are located in these interior highlands . Beyond the Colombian Massif ( in the south - western departments of Cauca and Nariño ) these are divided into three branches known as cordilleras ( mountain ranges ) : the Cordillera Occidental , running adjacent to the Pacific coast and including the city of Cali ; the Cordillera Central , running between the Cauca and Magdalena River valleys ( to the west and east respectively ) and including the cities of Medellín , Manizales , Pereira and Armenia ; and the Cordillera Oriental , extending north east to the Guajira Peninsula and including Bogotá , Bucaramanga and Cúcuta . Peaks in the Cordillera Occidental exceed 4,700 m ( 15,420 ft ) , and in the Cordillera Central and Cordillera Oriental they reach 5,000 m ( 16,404 ft ) . At 2,600 m ( 8,530 ft ) , Bogotá is the highest city of its size in the world . East of the Andes lies the savanna of the Llanos , part of the Orinoco River basin , and , in the far south east , the jungle of the Amazon rainforest . Together these lowlands comprise over half Colombia 's territory , but they contain less than 6 % of the population . To the north the Caribbean coast , home to 21.9 % of the population and the location of the major port cities of Barranquilla and Cartagena , generally consists of low - lying plains , but it also contains the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range , which includes the country 's tallest peaks ( Pico Cristóbal Colón and Pico Simón Bolívar ) , and the La Guajira Desert . By contrast the narrow and discontinuous Pacific coastal lowlands , backed by the Serranía de Baudó mountains , are sparsely populated and covered in dense vegetation . The principal Pacific port is Buenaventura . The main rivers of Colombia are Magdalena , Cauca , Guaviare , Atrato , Meta , Putumayo and Caquetá . Colombia has four main drainage systems : the Pacific drain , the Caribbean drain , the Orinoco Basin and the Amazon Basin . The Orinoco and Amazon Rivers mark limits with Colombia to Venezuela and Peru respectively . Protected areas and the `` National Park System '' cover an area of about 14,268,224 hectares ( 142,682.24 km ) and account for 12.77 % of the Colombian territory . Compared to neighboring countries , rates of deforestation in Colombia are still relatively low . Colombia is the sixth country in the world by magnitude of total renewable freshwater supply , and still has large reserves of freshwater . Climate Main article : Climate of Colombia The climate of Colombia is characterized for being tropical presenting variations within six natural regions and depending on the altitude , temperature , humidity , winds and rainfall . The diversity of climate zones in Colombia is characterized for having tropical rainforests , savannas , steppes , deserts and mountain climate . Mountain climate is one of the unique features of the Andes and other high altitude reliefs where climate is determined by elevation . Below 1,000 meters ( 3,281 ft ) in elevation is the warm altitudinal zone , where temperatures are above 24 ° C ( 75.2 ° F ) . About 82.5 % of the country 's total area lies in the warm altitudinal zone . The temperate climate altitudinal zone located between 1,001 and 2,000 meters ( 3,284 and 6,562 ft ) is characterized for presenting an average temperature ranging between 17 and 24 ° C ( 62.6 and 75.2 ° F ) . The cold climate is present between 2,001 and 3,000 meters ( 6,565 and 9,843 ft ) and the temperatures vary between 12 and 17 ° C ( 53.6 and 62.6 ° F ) . Beyond the cold land lie the alpine conditions of the forested zone and then the treeless grasslands of the páramos . Above 4,000 meters ( 13,123 ft ) , where temperatures are below freezing , the climate is glacial , a zone of permanent snow and ice . Ice cap climate in the Nevado del Ruiz Alpine tundra climate in the Sumapaz Paramo Oceanic climate in Tota Lake Cold desert climate near Villa de Leyva Tropical wet climate in the tepuis of the Serranía de Chiribiquete Mediterranean climate in Boyacá Department Tropical rainforest climate in the Amazon Rainforest Tropical savanna climate in Los Llanos Hot desert climate in the Guajira Peninsula Tropical wet and dry climate in San Andrés y Providencia Warm and wet climate in Caño Cristales Mountain climate in the Cordillera Occidental Biodiversity Chlorochrysa nitidissima . Colombia is home to more bird species than any other country in the world . Main article : Biodiversity of Colombia See also : Fauna of Colombia and Flora of Colombia The national flower of Colombia is the orchid Cattleya trianae , which was named after the Colombian botanist and physician José Jerónimo Triana . Colombia is one of the megadiverse countries in biodiversity , ranking first in bird species . As for plants , the country has between 40,000 and 45,000 plant species , equivalent to 10 or 20 % of total global species , which is even more remarkable given that Colombia is considered a country of intermediate size . Colombia is the second most biodiverse country in the world , lagging only after Brazil which is approximately 7 times bigger . Colombia is the country in the planet more characterized by a high biodiversity , with the highest rate of species by area unit worldwide and it has the largest number of endemisms ( species that are not found naturally anywhere else ) of any country . About 10 % of the species of the Earth live in Colombia , including over 1,900 species of bird , more than in Europe and North America combined , Colombia has 10 % of the world 's mammals species , 14 % of the amphibian species and 18 % of the bird species of the world . Colombia has about 2,000 species of marine fish and is the second most diverse country in freshwater fish . Colombia is the country with more endemic species of butterflies , number 1 in terms of orchid species and approximately 7,000 species of beetles . Colombia is second in the number of amphibian species and is the third most diverse country in reptiles and palms . There are about 1,900 species of mollusks and according to estimates there are about 300,000 species of invertebrates in the country . In Colombia there are 32 terrestrial biomes and 314 types of ecosystems . Government and politics Main article : Government of Colombia See also : Colombian Constitution of 1991 Casa de Nariño is the official home and principal workplace of the President of Colombia . The government of Colombia takes place within the framework of a presidential participatory democratic republic as established in the Constitution of 1991 . In accordance with the principle of separation of powers , government is divided into three branches : the executive branch , the legislative branch and the judicial branch . As the head of the executive branch , the President of Colombia serves as both head of state and head of government , followed by the Vice President and the Council of Ministers . The president is elected by popular vote to serve four - year term ( In 2015 , Colombia 's Congress approved the repeal of a 2004 constitutional amendment that eliminated the one - term limit for presidents ) . At the provincial level executive power is vested in department governors , municipal mayors and local administrators for smaller administrative subdivisions , such as corregimientos or comunas . All regional elections are held one year and five months after the presidential election . The legislative branch of government is represented nationally by the Congress , a bicameral institution comprising a 166 - seat Chamber of Representatives and a 102 - seat Senate . The Senate is elected nationally and the Chamber of Representatives is elected in electoral districts . Members of both houses are elected to serve four - year terms two months before the president , also by popular vote . Colombia 's Palace of Justice The judicial branch is headed by four high courts , consisting of the Supreme Court which deals with penal and civil matters , the Council of State , which has special responsibility for administrative law and also provides legal advice to the executive , the Constitutional Court , responsible for assuring the integrity of the Colombian constitution , and the Superior Council of Judicature , responsible for auditing the judicial branch . Colombia operates a system of civil law , which since 2005 has been applied through an adversarial system . Despite a number of controversies , the democratic security policy has ensured that former President Uribe remained popular among Colombian people , with his approval rating peaking at 76 % , according to a poll in 2009 . However , having served two terms , he was constitutionally barred from seeking re-election in 2010 . In the run - off elections on 20 June 2010 the former Minister of defense Juan Manuel Santos won with 69 % of the vote against the second most popular candidate , Antanas Mockus . A second round was required since no candidate received over the 50 % winning threshold of votes . Santos won nearly 51 % of the vote in second - round elections on 15 June 2014 , beating right - wing rival Óscar Iván Zuluaga , who won 45 % . His term as Colombia 's president runs for four years beginning 7 August 2014 .

Military Arpía III of the Colombian Air Force Main article : Military of Colombia The executive branch of government is responsible for managing the defense of Colombia , with the President commander - in - chief of the armed forces . The Ministry of Defence exercises day - to - day control of the military and the Colombian National Police . Colombia has 455,461 active military personnel . And in 2016 3.4 % of the country 's GDP went towards military expenditure , placing it 24th in the world . Colombia 's armed forces are the largest in Latin America , and it is the second largest spender on its military after Brazil . The Colombian military is divided into three branches : the National Army of Colombia ; the Colombian Air Force ; and the Colombian Navy . The National Police functions as a gendarmerie , operating independently from the military as the law enforcement agency for the entire country . Each of these operates with their own intelligence apparatus separate from the National Intelligence Directorate ( DNI , in Spanish ) . The National Army is formed by divisions , brigades , special brigades and special units ; the Colombian Navy by the Naval Infantry , the Naval Force of the Caribbean , the Naval Force of the Pacific , the Naval Force of the South , the Naval Force of the East , Colombia Coast Guards , Naval Aviation and the Specific Command of San Andres y Providencia ; and the Air Force by 15 air units . The National Police has a presence in all municipalities . Administrative divisions Main articles : Departments of Colombia and Municipalities of Colombia See also : List of cities in Colombia and Corregimientos of Colombia Colombia is divided into 32 departments and one capital district , which is treated as a department ( Bogotá also serves as the capital of the department of Cundinamarca ) . Departments are subdivided into municipalities , each of which is assigned a municipal seat , and municipalities are in turn subdivided into corregimientos in rural areas and into comunas in urban areas . Each department has a local government with a governor and assembly directly elected to four - year terms , and each municipality is headed by a mayor and council . There is a popularly elected local administrative board in each of the corregimientos or comunas . In addition to the capital four other cities have been designated districts ( in effect special municipalities ) , on the basis of special distinguishing features . These are Barranquilla , Cartagena , Santa Marta and Buenaventura . Some departments have local administrative subdivisions , where towns have a large concentration of population and municipalities are near each other ( for example in Antioquia and Cundinamarca ) . Where departments have a low population ( for example Amazonas , Vaupés and Vichada ) , special administrative divisions are employed , such as `` department corregimientos '' , which are a hybrid of a municipality and a corregimiento .

The country 's economic production is dominated by its strong domestic demand . Consumption expenditure by households is the largest component of GDP . Colombia 's market economy grew steadily in the latter part of the 20th century , with gross domestic product ( GDP ) increasing at an average rate of over 4 % per year between 1970 and 1998 . The country suffered a recession in 1999 ( the first full year of negative growth since the Great Depression ) , and the recovery from that recession was long and painful . However , in recent years growth has been impressive , reaching 6.9 % in 2007 , one of the highest rates of growth in Latin America . According to International Monetary Fund estimates , in 2012 Colombia 's GDP ( PPP ) was US $500 billion ( 28th in the world and third in South America ) . Total government expenditures account for 28.7 percent of the domestic economy . Public debt equals 41 percent of gross domestic product .

The average national unemployment rate in 2016 was 9.2 % , although the informality is the biggest problem facing the labour market ( the income of formal workers climbed 24.8 % in 5 years while labor incomes of informal workers rose only 9 % ) . Colombia has Free trade Zone ( FTZ ) , such as Zona Franca del Pacifico , located in the Valle del Cauca , one of the most striking areas for foreign investment . The financial sector has grown favorably due to good liquidity in the economy , the growth of credit and the positive performance of the Colombian economy . The Colombian Stock Exchange through the Latin American Integrated Market ( MILA ) offers a regional market to trade equities . Colombia is now one of only three economies with a perfect score on the strength of legal rights index , according to the World Bank . The Colombian Stock Exchange is part of the Latin American Integrated Market ( MILA ) . The electricity production in Colombia comes mainly from renewable energy sources . 69.97 % is obtained from the hydroelectric generation . Colombia 's commitment to renewable energy was recognized in the 2014 Global Green Economy Index ( GGEI ) , ranking among the top 10 nations in the world in terms of greening efficiency sectors . Colombia is rich in natural resources , and its main exports include mineral fuels , oils , distillation products , fruit and other agricultural products , sugars and sugar confectionery , food products , plastics , precious stones , metals , forest products , chemical goods , pharmaceuticals , vehicles , electronic products , electrical equipments , perfumery and cosmetics , machinery , manufactured articles , textile and fabrics , clothing and footwear , glass and glassware , furniture , prefabricated buildings , military products , home and office material , construction equipment , software , among others . Principal trading partners are the United States , China , the European Union and some Latin American countries . Non-traditional exports have boosted the growth of Colombian foreign sales as well as the diversification of destinations of export thanks to new free trade agreements . In 2016 , the National Administrative Department of Statistics ( DANE ) reported that 28.0 % of the population were living below the poverty line , of which 8.5 % in `` extreme poverty '' . The multidimensional poverty rate stands at 17.8 percent of the population . The Government has also been developing a process of financial inclusion within the country 's most vulnerable population . Recent economic growth has led to a considerable increase of new millionaires , including the new entrepreneurs , Colombians with a net worth exceeding US $1 billion . The contribution of Travel & Tourism to GDP was USD5 , 880.3 bn ( 2.0 % of total GDP ) in 2016 . Tourism generated 556,135 jobs ( 2.5 % of total employment ) in 2016 . Foreign tourist visits were predicted to have risen from 0.6 million in 2007 to 3.3 million in 2016 . Science and technology Main article : Science and technology in Colombia COLCIENCIAS is a Colombian Government agency that supports fundamental and applied research . Colombia has more than 3,950 research groups in science and technology . iNNpulsa , a government body that promotes entrepreneurship and innovation in the country , provides grants to startups , in addition to other services it and institutions like Apps.co provide . Co-working spaces have arisen to serve as communities for startups large and small . Organizations such as the Corporation for Biological Research ( CIB ) for the support of young people interested in scientific work has been successfully developed in Colombia . The International Center for Tropical Agriculture based in Colombia investigates the increasing challenge of global warming and food security . Important inventions related to the medicine have been made in Colombia , such as the first external artificial pacemaker with internal electrodes , invented by the electronics engineer Jorge Reynolds Pombo , invention of great importance for those who suffer from heart failure . Also invented in Colombia were the microkeratome and keratomileusis technique , which form the fundamental basis of what now is known as LASIK ( one of the most important techniques for the correction of refractive errors of vision ) and the Hakim valve for the treatment of Hydrocephalus , among others . Colombia has begun to innovate in military technology for its army and other armies of the world ; especially in the design and creation of personal ballistic protection products , military hardware , military robots , bombs , simulators and radar . Some leading Colombian scientists are Joseph M. Tohme , researcher recognized for his work on the genetic diversity of food , Manuel Elkin Patarroyo who is known for his groundbreaking work on synthetic vaccines for malaria , Francisco Lopera who discovered the `` Paisa Mutation '' or a type of early - onset Alzheimer 's , Rodolfo Llinás known for his study of the intrinsic neurons properties and the theory of a syndrome that had changed the way of understanding the functioning of the brain , Jairo Quiroga Puello recognized for his studies on the characterization of synthetic substances which can be used to fight fungus , tumors , tuberculosis and even some viruses and Ángela Restrepo who established accurate diagnoses and treatments to combat the effects of a disease caused by the Paracoccidioides brasiliensis , among other scientists . Infrastructure Main article : Transport in Colombia Port of Cartagena . Transportation in Colombia is regulated within the functions of the Ministry of Transport and entities such as the National Roads Institute ( INVÍAS ) responsible for the Highways in Colombia , the Aerocivil , responsible for civil aviation and airports , the National Infrastructure Agency , in charge of concessions through public -- private partnerships , for the design , construction , maintenance , operation , and administration of the transport infrastructure , the General Maritime Directorate ( Dimar ) has the responsibility of coordinating maritime traffic control along with the Colombian Navy , among others and under the supervision of the Superintendency of Ports and Transport .

The target of Colombia 's government is to build 7,000 km of roads for the 2016 -- 2020 period and reduce travel times by 30 per cent and transport costs by 20 per cent . A toll road concession programme will comprise 40 projects , and is part of a larger strategic goal to invest nearly $50 bn in transport infrastructure , including : railway systems ; making the Magdalena river navigable again ; improving port facilities ; as well as an expansion of Bogotá 's airport . Demographics Main article : Demographics of Colombia See also : List of Colombian Departments by population Population density of Colombia With an estimated 49 million people in 2017 , Colombia is the third-most populous country in Latin America , after Brazil and Mexico . It is also home to the third - largest number of Spanish speakers in the world after Mexico and the United States .

The nine eastern lowland departments , comprising about 54 % of Colombia 's area , have less than 6 % of the population . Traditionally a rural society , movement to urban areas was very heavy in the mid-20th century , and Colombia is now one of the most urbanized countries in Latin America . The urban population increased from 31 % of the total in 1938 to nearly 60 % in 1973 , and by 2014 the figure stood at 76 % .

Ethnic groups Human biological diversity and ethnicity Percentage Mestizo and White 86 % Black ( includes Mulatto ) 10.6 % Amerindian 3.4 % Roma 0.01 % Main article : Human biological diversity and ethnicity in Colombia Colombia is ethnically diverse , its people descending from the original native inhabitants , Spanish colonists , Africans originally brought to the country as slaves , and 20th - century immigrants from Europe and the Middle East , all contributing to a diverse cultural heritage . The demographic distribution reflects a pattern that is influenced by colonial history . Whites tend to live mainly in urban centers , like Bogotá , Medellín or Cali , and the burgeoning highland cities . The populations of the major cities also include mestizos . Mestizo campesinos ( people living in rural areas ) also live in the Andean highlands where some Spanish conquerors mixed with the women of Amerindian chiefdoms . Mestizos include artisans and small tradesmen that have played a major part in the urban expansion of recent decades . The 2005 census reported that the `` non-ethnic population '' , consisting of whites and mestizos ( those of mixed white European and Amerindian ancestry ) , constituted 86 % of the national population . 10.6 % is of African ancestry . Indigenous Amerindians comprise 3.4 % of the population . 0.01 % of the population are Roma . An extraofficial estimate considers that the 49 % of the Colombian population is Mestizo or of mixed European and Amerindian ancestry , and that approximately 37 % is White , mainly of Spanish lineage , but there is also a large population of Middle East descent ; in some sectors of society there is a considerable input of Italian and German ancestry . People with African ancestry in Colombia are concentrated mostly in coastal areas . Amerindian population of Colombia by municipality in 2005 . Many of the Indigenous peoples experienced a reduction in population during the Spanish rule and many others were absorbed into the mestizo population , but the remainder currently represents over eighty distinct cultures . Reserves ( resguardos ) established for indigenous peoples occupy 30,571,640 hectares ( 305,716.4 km ) ( 27 % of the country 's total ) and are inhabited by more than 800,000 people . Some of the largest indigenous groups are the Wayuu , the Paez , the Pastos , the Emberá and the Zenú . The departments of La Guajira , Cauca , Nariño , Córdoba and Sucre have the largest indigenous populations . The Organización Nacional Indígena de Colombia ( ONIC ) , founded at the first National Indigenous Congress in 1982 , is an organization representing the indigenous peoples of Colombia . In 1991 , Colombia signed and ratified the current international law concerning indigenous peoples , Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention , 1989 . Black Africans were brought as slaves , mostly to the coastal lowlands , beginning early in the 16th century and continuing into the 19th century . Large Afro - Colombian communities are found today on the Caribbean and Pacific coasts . The population of the department of Chocó , running along the northern portion of Colombia 's Pacific coast , is over 80 % black . British and Jamaicans migrated mainly to the islands of San Andres and Providencia . A number of other Europeans and North Americans migrated to the country in the late 19th and early 20th centuries , including people from the former USSR during and after the Second World War . Many immigrant communities have settled on the Caribbean coast , in particular recent immigrants from the Middle East . Barranquilla ( the largest city of the Colombian Caribbean ) and other Caribbean cities have the largest populations of Lebanese , Palestinian , and other Arabs . There are also important communities of Chinese , Japanese , Romanis and Jews . There is a major migration trend of Venezuelans , due to the political and economic situation in Venezuela .

Literature Main article : Colombian literature The Nobel literature prize winner Gabriel García Márquez Jorge Isaacs was one of the greatest exponents of Colombian literature in the nineteenth century . Colombian literature dates back to pre-Columbian era ; a notable example of the period is the epic poem known as the Legend of Yurupary . In Spanish colonial times , notable writers include Juan de Castellanos ( Elegías de varones ilustres de Indias ) , Hernando Domínguez Camargo and his epic poem to San Ignacio de Loyola , Pedro Simón , Juan Rodríguez Freyle ( El Carnero ) , Lucas Fernández de Piedrahita , and the nun Francisca Josefa de Castillo , representative of mysticism . Post-independence literature linked to Romanticism highlighted Antonio Nariño , José Fernández Madrid , Camilo Torres Tenorio and Francisco Antonio Zea . In the second half of the nineteenth century and early twentieth century the literary genre known as costumbrismo became popular ; great writers of this period were Tomás Carrasquilla , Jorge Isaacs and Rafael Pombo ( the latter of whom wrote notable works of children 's literature ) . Within that period , authors such as José Asunción Silva , José Eustasio Rivera , León de Greiff , Porfirio Barba - Jacob and José María Vargas Vila developed the modernist movement . In 1872 , Colombia established the Colombian Academy of Language , the first Spanish language academy in the Americas . Candelario Obeso wrote the groundbreaking Cantos Populares de mi Tierra ( 1877 ) , the first book of poetry by an Afro - Colombian author . Between 1939 and 1940 seven books of poetry were published under the name Stone and Sky in the city of Bogotá that significantly impacted the country ; they were edited by the poet Jorge Rojas . In the following decade , Gonzalo Arango founded the movement of `` nothingness '' in response to the violence of the time ; he was influenced by nihilism , existentialism , and the thought of another great Colombian writer : Fernando González Ochoa . During the boom in Latin American literature , successful writers emerged , led by Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez and his magnum opus , One Hundred Years of Solitude , Eduardo Caballero Calderón , Manuel Mejía Vallejo , and Álvaro Mutis , a writer who was awarded the Cervantes Prize and the Prince of Asturias Award for Letters . Other leading contemporary authors are Fernando Vallejo , William Ospina ( Rómulo Gallegos Prize ) and Germán Castro Caycedo .

Colombian artists have captured the country 's changing political and cultural backdrop using a range of styles and mediums . There is archeological evidence of ceramics being produced earlier in Colombia than anywhere else in the Americas , dating as early as 3,000 BCE . The earliest examples of gold craftsmanship have been attributed to the Tumaco people of the Pacific coast and date to around 325 BCE . Roughly between 200 BCE and 800 CE , the San Agustín culture , masters of stonecutting , entered its `` classical period '' . They erected raised ceremonial centres , sarcophagi , and large stone monoliths depicting anthropomorphic and zoomorphhic forms out of stone . Colombian art has followed the trends of the time , so during the 16th to 18th centuries , Spanish Catholicism had a huge influence on Colombian art , and the popular baroque style was replaced with rococo when the Bourbons ascended to the Spanish crown . More recently , Colombian artists Pedro Nel Gómez and Santiago Martínez Delgado started the Colombian Murial Movement in the 1940s , featuring the neoclassical features of Art Deco . Since the 1950s , the Colombian art started to have a distinctive point of view , reinventing traditional elements under the concepts of the 20th century . Examples of this are the Greiff portraits by Ignacio Gómez Jaramillo , showing what the Colombian art could do with the new techniques applied to typical Colombian themes . Carlos Correa , with his paradigmatic `` Naturaleza muerta en silencio '' ( silent dead nature ) , combines geometrical abstraction and cubism . Alejandro Obregón is often considered as the father of modern Colombian painting , and one of the most influential artist in this period , due to his originality , the painting of Colombian landscapes with symbolic and expressionist use of animals , ( specially the Andean condor ) . Fernando Botero , Omar Rayo , Enrique Grau , Édgar Negret , David Manzur , Rodrigo Arenas Betancourt and Oscar Murillo are some of the Colombian artists featured at the international level . The Colombian sculpture from the sixteenth to 18th centuries was mostly devoted to religious depictions of ecclesiastic art , strongly influenced by the Spanish schools of sacred sculpture . During the early period of the Colombian republic , the national artists were focused in the production of sculptural portraits of politicians and public figures , in a plain neoclassicist trend . During the 20th century , the Colombian sculpture began to develop a bold and innovative work with the aim of reaching a better understanding of national sensitivity . Colombian photography was marked by the arrival of the daguerreotype . Jean - Baptiste Louis Gros was who brought the daguerreotype process to Colombia in 1841 . The Piloto public library has Latin America 's largest archive of negatives , containing 1.7 million antique photographs covering Colombia 1848 until 2005 . The Colombian press has promoted the work of the cartoonists . In recent decades , fanzines , internet and independent publishers have been fundamental to the growth of the comic in Colombia .

Some prominent indigenous structures are the preceramic and ceramic archaeological site of Tequendama , Tierradentro ( a park that contains the largest concentration of pre-Columbian monumental shaft tombs with side chambers ) , the largest collection of religious monuments and megalithic sculptures in South America , located in San Agustín , Huila , Lost city ( an archaeological site with a series of terraces carved into the mountainside , a net of tiled roads and several circular plazas ) and also stand out the large villages mainly built with stone , wood , cane and mud . Historic Centre of Santa Cruz de Mompox , an architectural site with colonial elements Architecture during the period of conquest and colonization is mainly derived of adapting European styles to local conditions , and Spanish influence , especially Andalusian and Extremaduran , can be easily seen . When Europeans founded cities two things were making simultaneously : the dimensioning of geometrical space ( town square , street ) , and the location of a tangible point of orientation . The construction of forts was common throughout the Caribbean and in some cities of the interior , because of the dangers that represented the English , French , and Dutch pirates and the hostile indigenous groups . Churches , chapels , schools , and hospitals belonging to religious orders cause a great urban impact . Baroque architecture is used in military buildings and public spaces . Marcelino Arroyo , Francisco José de Caldas and Domingo de Petrés were great representatives of neo-classical architecture . The National Capitol is a great representative of romanticism . Wood is extensively used in doors , windows , railings and ceilings during the colonization of Antioquia . The Caribbean architecture acquires a strong Arabic influence . The Teatro Colón in Bogotá is a lavish example of architecture from the 19th century . The quintas houses with innovations in the volumetric conception are some of the best examples of the Republican architecture ; the Republican action in the city focused on the design of three types of spaces : parks with forests , small urban parks and avenues and the Gothic style was most commonly used for the design of churches . Deco style , modern neoclassicism , eclecticism folklorist and art deco ornamental resources significantly influenced the architecture of Colombia , especially during the transition period . Modernism contributed with new construction technologies and new materials ( steel , reinforced concrete , glass and synthetic materials ) and the topology architecture and lightened slabs system also have a great influence . The most influential architects of the modern movement were Rogelio Salmona and Fernando Martínez Sanabria . The contemporary architecture of Colombia is designed to give greater importance to the materials , this architecture takes into account the specific natural and artificial geographies and is also an architecture that appeals to the senses .

Education Main article : Education in Colombia M5 building -- National University of Colombia , designed by Pedro Nel Gómez Mario Laserna Building -- University of Los Andes The educational experience of many Colombian children begins with attendance at a preschool academy until age five ( Educación preescolar ) . Basic education ( Educación básica ) is compulsory by law . It has two stages : Primary basic education ( Educación básica primaria ) which goes from first to fifth grade -- children from six to ten years old , and Secondary basic education ( Educación básica secundaria ) , which goes from sixth to ninth grade . Basic education is followed by Middle vocational education ( Educación media vocacional ) that comprises the tenth and eleventh grades . It may have different vocational training modalities or specialties ( academic , technical , business , and so on . ) according to the curriculum adopted by each school . After the successful completion of all the basic and middle education years , a high - school diploma is awarded .

List of presidents of the United States by age
List of presidents of the United States by age - wikipedia List of presidents of the United States by age Jump to : navigation , search This is a list of presidents of the United States by age . The first table charts the age of each United States president at the time of presidential inauguration ( first inauguration if elected to multiple and consecutive terms ) , upon leaving office , and at the time of death . Each president 's lifespan ( age at death ) is measured in two ways , to allow for the differing number of leap days that each experienced . The first figure is the number of days between the president 's date of birth and date of death , allowing for leap days ; in parentheses , the same period is given in years and days , with the years being the number of whole years that the president lived , and the days being the number of days since the last birthday . Where the president is still living , their lifespan is calculated up to May 24 , 2018 . The second table includes those presidents who had the distinction among their peers of being the oldest living president , and charts both when they became and ceased to be oldest living . Contents ( hide ) 1 Age of U.S. presidents 1.1 Notes 2 Oldest living U.S. presidents 3 References 4 Sources Age of U.S. presidents See also : Lifespan timeline of Presidents of the United States Age of presidents when assuming office approximately follows a bell curve ( mean age marked by red line , c. 55.5 years ) The median age upon accession to the presidency is 55 years and 3 months . This is how old Lyndon B. Johnson was at the time of his inauguration . The youngest person to assume the office was Theodore Roosevelt , who became president at the age of 42 years , 322 days , following William McKinley 's assassination ; the oldest was Donald Trump , who was 70 years , 220 days old at his inauguration . The youngest person to be elected president was John F. Kennedy , at 43 years , 163 days of age on election day ; the oldest was Ronald Reagan , who was 73 years , 274 days old at the time of his election to a second term . Assassinated three years into his term , John F. Kennedy was the youngest at the time of leaving office ( 46 years , 177 days ) ; the youngest president to leave office at the conclusion of a normal transition was Theodore Roosevelt ( 50 years , 128 days ) . The oldest at the time of leaving office was Ronald Reagan ( 77 years , 349 days ) . Born on May 29 , 1917 , John F. Kennedy was younger than four of his successors , the greatest number to date : Lyndon Johnson ( 8 years , 9 months , and 2 days ) ; Ronald Reagan ( 6 years , 3 months , and 23 days ) ; Richard Nixon ( 4 years , 4 months , and 16 days ) ; and Gerald Ford ( 3 years , 10 months , and 15 days ) . Born on February 6 , 1911 , Ronald Reagan was older than four of his predecessors , the greatest number to date : Richard Nixon ( 1 year , 11 months , and 7 days ) ; Gerald Ford ( 2 years , 5 months , and 8 days ) ; John F. Kennedy ( 6 years , 3 months , and 23 days ) ; and Jimmy Carter ( 13 years , 7 months , and 25 days ) . Three presidents -- Donald Trump , George W. Bush , and Bill Clinton -- were born in 1946 ( all within the span of 9 weeks ) . This is the only calendar year in which three presidents have been born . Two presidents -- James K. Polk and Warren G. Harding -- were born on November 2 ( 70 years apart ) . This is the only day of the year having the birthday of multiple presidents . The oldest living U.S. president is George H.W. Bush , born June 12 , 1924 ( age 93 years , 346 days ) . On November 25 , 2017 , he also became the longest - lived president , surpassing the lifespan of Gerald Ford , who died at the age of 93 years , 165 days . The second oldest living president , Jimmy Carter , has the distinction of having the longest post-presidency in U.S. history , currently at 37 years , 124 days . He surpassed the previous record , held by Herbert Hoover ( 31 years , 230 days ) on September 7 , 2012 . The youngest living president is Barack Obama , born August 4 , 1961 ( age 56 years , 293 days ) . The shortest - lived president to have died by natural causes ( thereby excluding John F. Kennedy and James A. Garfield , who were both assassinated ) was James K. Polk , who died of cholera at the age of 53 years , 225 days ; only 103 days after leaving office . Six U.S. presidents have lived into their 90s , with two of them currently alive .

Jump up ^ Resigned from office . ^ Jump up to : As of May 24 , 2018 . Oldest living U.S. presidents See also : Living Presidents of the United States Of the 44 persons who have served as president , 24 have become the oldest such individual of their time . Herbert Hoover held this distinction for the longest period of any , from the death of Calvin Coolidge in January 1933 until his own death 31 years later . Lyndon B. Johnson held it for the shortest , from the death of Harry S. Truman in December 1972 until his own death only 27 days later . On three occasions the oldest living president lost this distinction not by his death , but by the inauguration of a president who was older . Theodore Roosevelt ( born 1858 ) lost this distinction when William Taft ( born 1857 ) was inaugurated , then four years later Taft lost it when Woodrow Wilson ( born 1856 ) was inaugurated . More recently , Richard Nixon ( born 1913 ) ceased being the oldest living president when Ronald Reagan ( born 1911 ) was inaugurated . Furthermore , although Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest ever to become both the oldest living president ( at age 49 ) and a former president ( at age 50 ) , he was the only living president or former president by the end of his term . Consequently , Taft was the oldest living president twice : first during his presidency ( having succeeded the younger Roosevelt ) , and a second time after Wilson ( his successor as president but an older man ) died . Gerald Ford was the oldest individual to acquire this distinction , at the age of 90 . On seven occasions , the oldest living president has acquired this distinction during his term in office . In the cases of John Adams , Ulysses S. Grant , Theodore Roosevelt , Herbert Hoover and Richard Nixon , this happened at the same time as their becoming the only living president ; in the cases of Andrew Jackson and Benjamin Harrison , the only other living president at the time was a younger predecessor ( John Quincy Adams and Grover Cleveland respectively ) . By contrast , the president who acquired this distinction furthest from his time in office was Gerald Ford , who had been retired for 7003999800000000000 ♠ 27 years , 137 days .

Luminous intensity
Luminous intensity - wikipedia Luminous intensity Jump to : navigation , search See also : Light intensity ( disambiguation ) In photometry , luminous intensity is a measure of the wavelength - weighted power emitted by a light source in a particular direction per unit solid angle , based on the luminosity function , a standardized model of the sensitivity of the human eye . The SI unit of luminous intensity is the candela ( cd ) , an SI base unit . Photometry deals with the measurement of visible light as perceived by human eyes . The human eye can only see light in the visible spectrum and has different sensitivities to light of different wavelengths within the spectrum . When adapted for bright conditions ( photopic vision ) , the eye is most sensitive to greenish - yellow light at 555 nm . Light with the same radiant intensity at other wavelengths has a lower luminous intensity . The curve which measures the response of the human eye to light is a defined standard , known as the luminosity function . This curve , denoted V ( λ ) or y _̄ ( λ ) ( \ displaystyle \ textstyle ( \ overline ( y ) ) ( \ lambda ) ) , is based on an average of widely differing experimental data from scientists using different measurement techniques . For instance , the measured responses of the eye to violet light varied by a factor of ten . Contents ( hide ) 1 Relationship to other measures 2 Units 3 Usage 4 See also 5 References Relationship to other measures ( edit ) Luminous intensity should not be confused with another photometric unit , luminous flux , which is the total perceived power emitted in all directions . Luminous intensity is the perceived power per unit solid angle . If a lamp has a 1 lumen bulb and the optics of the lamp are set up to focus the light evenly into a 1 steradian beam , then the beam would have a luminous intensity of 1 candela . If the optics were changed to concentrate the beam into 1 / 2 steradian then the source would have a luminous intensity of 2 candela . The resulting beam is narrower and brighter , though its luminous flux remains unchanged . Luminous intensity is also not the same as the radiant intensity , the corresponding objective physical quantity used in the measurement science of radiometry . Units ( edit ) Like other SI base units , the candela has an operational definition -- it is defined by the description of a physical process that will produce one candela of luminous intensity . By definition , if one constructs a light source that emits monochromatic green light with a frequency of 540 THz , and that has a radiant intensity of 1 / 683 watts per steradian in a given direction , that light source will emit one candela in the specified direction . The frequency of light used in the definition corresponds to a wavelength of 555 nm , which is near the peak of the eye 's response to light . If the source emitted uniformly in all directions , the total radiant flux would be about 18.40 mW , since there are 4π steradians in a sphere . A typical candle produces very roughly one candela of luminous intensity . Prior to the definition of the candela , a variety of units for luminous intensity were used in various countries . These were typically based on the brightness of the flame from a `` standard candle '' of defined composition , or the brightness of an incandescent filament of specific design . One of the best - known of these standards was the English standard : candlepower . One candlepower was the light produced by a pure spermaceti candle weighing one sixth of a pound and burning at a rate of 120 grains per hour . Germany , Austria , and Scandinavia used the Hefnerkerze , a unit based on the output of a Hefner lamp . In 1881 , Jules Violle proposed the Violle as a unit of luminous intensity , and it was notable as the first unit of light intensity that did not depend on the properties of a particular lamp . All of these units were superseded by the definition of the candela . Usage ( edit ) The luminous intensity for monochromatic light of a particular wavelength λ is given by I v = 683 ⋅ y _̄ ( λ ) ⋅ I e , ( \ displaystyle I_ ( \ mathrm ( v ) ) = 683 \ cdot ( \ overline ( y ) ) ( \ lambda ) \ cdot I_ ( \ mathrm ( e ) ) , ) where I is the luminous intensity in candelas ( cd ) , I is the radiant intensity in watts per steradian ( W / sr ) , y _̄ ( λ ) ( \ displaystyle \ textstyle ( \ overline ( y ) ) ( \ lambda ) ) is the standard luminosity function . If more than one wavelength is present ( as is usually the case ) , one must sum or integrate over the spectrum of wavelengths present to get the luminous intensity : I v = 683 ∫ 0 ∞ y _̄ ( λ ) ⋅ d I e ( λ ) d λ d λ . ( \ displaystyle I_ ( \ mathrm ( v ) ) = 683 \ int _ ( 0 ) ^ ( \ infty ) ( \ overline ( y ) ) ( \ lambda ) \ cdot ( \ frac ( dI_ ( \ mathrm ( e ) ) ( \ lambda ) ) ( d \ lambda ) ) \ , d \ lambda . ) See also ( edit ) Brightness International System of Quantities Radiance References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Base unit definitions : Candela '' .

Radcliffe Line
Radcliffe Line - Wikipedia Radcliffe Line Jump to : navigation , search Movement of refugees upon the Partition of India The Radcliffe Line was the boundary demarcation line between India and Pakistan published on 17 August 1947 upon the Partition of India . It was named after its architect , Sir Cyril Radcliffe , who , as chairman of the Border Commissions , was charged with equitably dividing 175,000 square miles ( 450,000 km ) of territory with 88 million people . Today its western side still serves as the Indo - Pakistani border and the eastern side serves as the India - Bangladesh border .

The Act also stipulated the partition of the Provinces of British India into two new sovereign dominions : the Union of India and the Dominion of Pakistan . The Indian Independence Act , passed by the British parliament , abandoned the suzerainty of the British Crown over the princely states and dissolved the Indian Empire , so that the rulers of the states found themselves fully independent and were free to decide for themselves whether to accede to one of the new dominions or to remain independent . Pakistan was intended as a Muslim homeland , while the Union of India remained secular . Muslim - majority British provinces in the north were to become the foundation of Pakistan . The provinces of Baluchistan ( 91.8 % Muslim before partition ) and Sindh ( 72.7 % ) were granted entirely to Pakistan . However , two provinces did not have an overwhelming majority -- Bengal in the north - east ( 54.4 % Muslim ) and the Punjab in the north - west ( 55.7 % Muslim ) . The western part of the Punjab became part of West Pakistan and the eastern part became the Indian state of East Punjab , which was later divided between a smaller Punjab State and two other states . Bengal was also partitioned , into East Bengal ( in Pakistan ) and West Bengal ( in India ) . Following independence , the North - West Frontier Province ( whose borders with Afghanistan had earlier been demarcated by the Durand Line ) voted in a referendum to join Pakistan . This controversial referendum was boycotted by the most popular Pukhtun movement in the province at that time . The area is now a province in Pakistan called Khyber Pakhtunkhwa . The Punjab 's population distribution was such that there was no line that could neatly divide Hindus , Muslims , and Sikhs . Likewise , no line could appease the Muslim League , headed by Jinnah , and the Indian National Congress led by Jawaharlal Nehru and Vallabhbhai Patel , and by the British . Moreover , any division based on religious communities was sure to entail `` cutting through road and rail communications , irrigation schemes , electric power systems and even individual landholdings . '' However , a well - drawn line could minimize the separation of farmers from their fields , and also minimize the numbers of people who might feel forced to relocate . As it turned out , on `` the sub-continent as a whole , some 14 million people left their homes and set out by every means possible -- by air , train , and road , in cars and lorries , in buses and bullock carts , but most of all on foot -- to seek refuge with their own kind . '' Many of them were slaughtered by an opposing side , some starved or died of exhaustion , while others were afflicted with `` cholera , dysentery , and all those other diseases that afflict undernourished refugees everywhere '' . Estimates of the number of people who died range between 200,000 ( official British estimate at the time ) and two million , with the consensus being around one million dead . Prior ideas of partition ( edit ) The idea of partitioning the provinces of Bengal and Punjab had been present since the beginning of the 20th century . Bengal had in fact been partitioned by the then viceroy Lord Curzon in 1905 , along with its adjoining regions . The resulting ' Eastern Bengal and Assam ' province , with its capital at Dhaka , had a Muslim majority and the ' West Bengal ' province , with its capital at Calcutta , had a Hindu majority . However , this partition of Bengal was reversed in 1911 in an effort to mollify Bengali nationalism . Proposals for partitioning Punjab had been made starting from 1908 . Its proponents included the Hindu leader Bhai Parmanand , Congress leader Lala Lajpat Rai , industrialist G.D. Birla , and various Sikh leaders . After the Lahore resolution ( 1940 ) of the Muslim League demanding Pakistan , B.R. Ambedkar wrote a 400 - page tract titled Thoughts on Pakistan , wherein he discussed the boundaries of the Muslim and non-Muslim regions of Punjab and Bengal . His calculations showed a Muslim majority in 16 western districts of Punjab and non-Muslim majority in 13 eastern districts . In Bengal , he showed non-Muslim majority in 15 districts . He thought the Muslims could have no objection to redrawing provincial boundaries . If they did , they did not quite `` understand the nature of their own demand '' . Districts of Punjab with Muslim ( green ) and non-Muslim ( pink ) majorities , as per 1941 census After the breakdown of the 1945 Simla Conference of viceroy Lord Wavell , the idea of Pakistan began to be contemplated seriously . Sir Evan Jenkins , the private secretary of the viceroy ( later the governor of Punjab ) , wrote a memorandum titled `` Pakistan and the Punjab '' , where he discussed the issues surrounding the partition of Punjab . K.M. Panikkar , then prime minister of the Bikaner State , sent a memorandum to the viceroy titled `` Next Step in India '' , wherein he recommended that the British government concede the principle of ' Muslim homeland ' but carry out territorial adjustments to the Punjab and Bengal to meet the claims of the Hindus and Sikhs . Based on these discussions , the viceroy sent a note on `` Pakistan theory '' to the Secretary of State . The viceroy informed the Secretary of State that Jinnah envisaged full provinces of Bengal and Punjab going to Pakistan with only minor adjustments , whereas Congress was expecting almost half of these provinces to remain in India . This essentially framed the problem of partition . The Secretary of State responded by directing Lord Wavell to send ' actual proposals for defining genuine Muslim areas ' . The task fell on V.P. Menon , the Reforms Commissioner , and his colleague Sir B.N. Rau in the Reforms Office . They prepared a note called `` Demarcation of Pakistan Areas '' , where they defined the western zone of Pakistan as consisting of Sindh , N.W.F.P. , British Baluchistan and three western divisions of Punjab ( Rawalpindi , Multan and Lahore ) . However , they noted that this allocation would leave 2.2 million Sikhs in the Pakistan area and about 1.5 million in India . Excluding the Amritsar and Gurdaspur districts of the Lahore Division from Pakistan would put a majority of Sikhs in India . ( Amritsar had a non-Muslim majority and Gurdaspur a marginal Muslim majority . ) To compensate for the exclusion of the Gurdaspur district , they included the entire Dinajpur district in the eastern zone of Pakistan , which similarly had a marginal Muslim majority . After receiving comments from John Thorne , member of the Executive Council in charge of Home affairs , Wavell forwarded the proposal to the Secretary of State . He justified the exclusion of the Amritsar district because of its sacredness to the Sikhs and that of Gurdaspur district because it had to go with Amritsar for ' geographical reasons ' . The Secretary of State commended the proposal and forwarded it to the India and Burma Committee , saying , `` I do not think that any better division than the one the Viceroy proposes is likely to be found '' . Sikh concerns ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( October 2017 ) While Master Tara Singh confused Rajagopalchari 's offer with the Muslim League demand he could see that any division of Punjab would leave the Sikhs divided between Pakistan and Hindustan . He espoused the doctrine of self - reliance , opposed partition and called for independence on the grounds that no single religious community should control Punjab . Other Sikhs argued that just as Muslims feared Hindu domination the Sikhs also feared Muslim domination . Sikhs warned the British government that the morale of Sikh troops in the British Army would be affected if Pakistan was forced on them . Since Hindus seemed more concerned about the rest of India than Punjab , Master Tara Singh refused to ally with them and preferred to approach the British directly . Giani Kartar Singh drafted the scheme of a separate Sikh state if India was divided . During the Partition developments Jinnah offered Sikhs to live in Pakistan with safeguards for their rights . Sikhs refused because they opposed the concept of Pakistan and also because they were opposed to being a small minority within a Muslim majority . There are various reasons for the Sikh refusal to join Pakistan but one clear fact was that the Partition of Punjab left a deep impact on the Sikh psyche with many Sikh holy sites ending up in Pakistan . While the Congress had insisted for an India which was united and the Muslim League asked for a separate country , Sikh leader Dr. Vir Singh Bhatti proposed the creation of a separate Sikh state `` Khalistan '' . Sikh leaders who were unanimous in their opposition to Pakistan wanted a Sikh state to be created . Master Tara Singh wanted the right for an independent Khalistan to federate with either Hindustan or Pakistan . However , the Sikh state being proposed was for an area where no religion was in absolute majority . Negotiations for the independent Sikh state had commenced at the end of World War II and the British initially agreed but the Sikhs withdrew this demand after pressure from Indian nationalists . The proposals of the Cabinet Mission Plan had seriously jolted the Sikhs because while both the Congress and League could be satisfied the Sikhs saw nothing in it for themselves . as they would be subjected to a Muslim majority . Master Tara Singh protested this to Pethic - Lawrence on May 5 . By early September the Sikh leaders accepted both the long term and interim proposals despite their earlier rejection . The Sikhs attached themselves to the Indian state with the promise of religious and cultural autonomy . Final negotiations ( edit ) Pre-partition Punjab province In March 1946 , the British government sent a Cabinet Mission to India to find a solution to resolve the conflicting demands of Congress and the Muslim League . Congress agreed to allow Pakistan to be formed with ' genuine Muslim areas ' . The Sikh leaders asked for a Sikh state with Ambala , Jalandher , Lahore Divisions with some districts from the Multan Division , which , however , did not meet the Cabinet delegates ' agreement . In discussions with Jinnah , the Cabinet Mission offered either a ' smaller Pakistan ' with all the Muslim - majority districts except Gurdaspur or a ' larger Pakistan ' under the sovereignty of the Indian Union . The Cabinet Mission came close to success with its proposal for an Indian Union under a federal scheme , but it fell apart in the end because of Nehru 's opposition to a heavily decentralised India . Hindus and Sikhs in Punjab and Bengal clamoured for the division of these two provinces , arguing that if India could be divided along religious lines then so should these provinces because the Muslim majorities in both provinces were small . Scholar Akbar Ahmed says that the basic unit of administration in India was the province and not the district and that the district level division reduced the principle of partition to absurdity . According to Ahmed , such a division should have meant that Muslim estates in the United Provinces be separated and given to Pakistan . Scholar Sialkoti writes that V.P Menon decided with Sardar Patel to only give Muslims a ' moth - eaten Pakistan ' . Nehru then discussed partitioning Punjab and Bengal with Wavell . Nehru told Menon that the partition of Punjab and Bengal would bring the more fertile parts of these two provinces into the Indian Union so that a truncated Pakistan would not be worth having . Nehru told Gandhi that ' ' it is unlikely that Jinnah and the Muslim League will agree to this truncated Pakistan which can never succeed economically or otherwise ' ' . Sir Cripps remarked ' ' the Pakistan they are likely to get would be very different from what they wanted and it may not be worth their while . ' On March 8 the Congress passed a resolution to divide Punjab . In March 1947 , Lord Mountbatten arrived in India as the next viceroy , with an explicit mandate to achieve transfer of power before June 1948 . Scholar Sialkoti states that Mountbatten and his staff had already evaluated all the recommendations for the partition of Punjab and done their homework prior to their arrival . Within ten days , Mountbatten 's staff had categorically stated that Congress had conceded the Pakistan demand except for the 13 eastern districts of Punjab ( including Amritsar and Gurdaspur ) . However , Jinnah held out . Through a series of six meetings with Mountbatten , he continued to maintain that his demand was for six full provinces . He `` bitterly complained '' that the Viceroy was ruining his Pakistan by cutting Punjab and Bengal in half as this would mean a ' moth - eaten Pakistan ' . But Mountbatten insisted on a partition . The Gurdaspur district remained a key contentious issue for the non-Muslims . Their members of the Punjab legislature made representations to Mountbatten 's chief of staff Lord Ismay as well as the Governor telling them that Gurdaspur was a `` non-Muslim district '' . They contended that even if it had a marginal Muslim majority of 51 % , which they believed to be erroneous , the Muslims paid only 35 % of the land revenue in the district . In April , Governor Evan Jenkins wrote a note to Mountbatten proposing that Punjab be divided along Muslim and non-Muslim majority districts , but `` adjustments could be made by agreement '' regarding the tehsils ( subdistricts ) contiguous to these districts . He proposed that a Boundary Commission be set up consisting of two Muslim and two non-Muslim members recommended by the Punjab Legislative Assembly . He also proposed that a British judge of the High Court be appointed as the chairman of the Commission . Jinnah and the Muslim League continued to oppose the idea of partitioning the provinces , and the Sikhs were disturbed about the possibility of getting only 12 districts ( without Gurdaspur ) . In this context the Partition Plan of 3 June was announced with a notional partition showing 17 districts of Punjab in Pakistan and 12 districts in India , along with the establishment of a Boundary Commission to decide the final boundary . In Sialkoti 's view , this was done mainly to placate the Sikhs . Mountbatten decided to threaten Jinnah by drawing a line less favourable to Muslims and more favourable to Sikhs if he did not agree to partitioning Punjab and Bengal . However , Lord Ismay prevailed that he should use ' hurt feelings ' rather than threats to persuade Jinnah for partition . They ultimately succeeded . On the 2nd of June Jinnah once again approached Mountbatten to plead for the unity of Punjab and Bengal but Mountbatten threatened that ' ' You will lose Pakistan probably for good . ' ' Process and key people ( edit ) A crude border had already been drawn up by Lord Wavell , the Viceroy of India prior to his replacement as Viceroy , in February 1947 , by Lord Louis Mountbatten . In order to determine exactly which territories to assign to each country , in June 1947 , Britain appointed Sir Cyril Radcliffe to chair two Boundary Commissions -- one for Bengal and one for Punjab . The Commission was instructed to `` demarcate the boundaries of the two parts of the Punjab on the basis of ascertaining the contiguous majority areas of Muslims and non-Muslims . In doing so , it will also take into account other factors . '' Other factors were undefined , giving Radcliffe leeway , but included decisions regarding `` natural boundaries , communications , watercourses and irrigation systems '' , as well as socio - political consideration . Each commission also had 4 representatives -- 2 from the Indian National Congress and 2 from the Muslim League . Given the deadlock between the interests of the two sides and their rancorous relationship , the final decision was essentially Radcliffe 's . After arriving in India on 8 July 1947 , Radcliffe was given just five weeks to decide on a border . He soon met with his fellow college alumnus Mountbatten and travelled to Lahore and Calcutta to meet with commission members , chiefly Nehru from the Congress and Jinnah , president of the Muslim League . He objected to the short time frame , but all parties were insistent that the line be finished by the 15 August British withdrawal from India . Mountbatten had accepted the post as Viceroy on the condition of an early deadline . The decision was completed just a couple of days before the withdrawal , but due to political manoeuvring , not published until 17 August 1947 , two days after the grant of independence to India and Pakistan . Members of the Commissions ( edit ) Each boundary commission consisted of 5 people -- a chairman ( Radcliffe ) , 2 members nominated by the Indian National Congress and 2 members nominated by the Muslim League . The Bengal Boundary Commission consisted of Justices C.C. Biswas , B.K. Mukherji , Abu Saleh Mohamed Akram and S.A. Rahman . The members of the Punjab Commission were Justices Mehr Chand Mahajan , Teja Singh , Din Mohamed and Muhammad Munir . Problems in the process ( edit ) Boundary - making procedures ( edit ) The Punjabi section of the Radcliffe Line All lawyers by trade , Radcliffe and the other commissioners had all of the polish and none of the specialized knowledge needed for the task . They had no advisers to inform them of the well - established procedures and information needed to draw a boundary . Nor was there time to gather the survey and regional information . The absence of some experts and advisers , such as the United Nations , was deliberate , to avoid delay . Britain 's new Labour government `` deep in wartime debt , simply could n't afford to hold on to its increasingly unstable empire . '' `` The absence of outside participants -- for example , from the United Nations -- also satisfied the British Government 's urgent desire to save face by avoiding the appearance that it required outside help to govern -- or stop governing -- its own empire . '' Political representation ( edit ) The equal representation given to politicians from Indian National Congress and the Muslim League appeared to provide balance , but instead created deadlock . The relationships were so tendentious that the judges `` could hardly bear to speak to each other '' , and the agendas so at odds that there seemed to be little point anyway . Even worse , `` the wife and two children of the Sikh judge in Lahore had been murdered by Muslims in Rawalpindi a few weeks earlier . '' In fact , minimizing the numbers of Hindus and Muslims on the wrong side of the line was not the only concern to balance . The Punjab Border Commission was to draw a border through the middle of an area home to the Sikh community . Lord Islay was rueful for the British not to give more consideration to the community who , in his words , had `` provided many thousands of splendid recruits for the Indian Army '' in its service for the crown in World War I . However , the Sikhs were militant in their opposition to any solution which would put their community in a Muslim ruled state . Moreover , many insisted on their own sovereign state , something no - one else would agree to . Last of all , were the communities without any representation . The Bengal Border Commission representatives were chiefly concerned with the question of who would get Calcutta . The Buddhist tribes in the Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bengal had no official representation and were left totally without information to prepare for their situation until two days after the partition . Perceiving the situation as intractable and urgent , Radcliffe went on to make all the difficult decisions himself . This was impossible from inception , but Radcliffe seems to have had no doubt in himself and raised no official complaint or proposal to change the circumstances . Local knowledge ( edit ) Before his appointment , Radcliffe had never visited India and knew no one there . To the British and the feuding politicians alike , this neutrality was looked upon as an asset ; he was considered to be unbiased toward any of the parties , except of course Britain . Only his private secretary , Christopher Beaumont , was familiar with the administration and life in the Punjab . Wanting to preserve the appearance of impartiality , Radcliffe also kept his distance from Viceroy Mountbatten . No amount of knowledge could produce a line that would completely avoid conflict ; already , `` sectarian riots in Punjab and Bengal dimmed hopes for a quick and dignified British withdrawal '' . `` Many of the seeds of postcolonial disorder in South Asia were sown much earlier , in a century and half of direct and indirect British control of large part of the region , but , as book after book has demonstrated , nothing in the complex tragedy of partition was inevitable . '' Haste and indifference ( edit ) Radcliffe justified the casual division with the truism that no matter what he did , people would suffer . The thinking behind this justification may never be known since Radcliffe `` destroyed all his papers before he left India '' . He departed on Independence Day itself , before even the boundary awards were distributed . By his own admission , Radcliffe was heavily influenced by his lack of fitness for the Indian climate and his eagerness to depart India . The implementation was no less hasty than the process of drawing the border . On 16 August 1947 at 5 : 00 pm , the Indian and Pakistani representatives were given two hours to study copies , before the Radcliffe award was published on 17 August . Secrecy ( edit ) To avoid disputes and delays , the division was done in secret . The final Awards were ready on 9 August and 12 August , but not published until two days after the partition . According to Read and Fisher , there is some circumstantial evidence that Nehru and Patel were secretly informed of the Punjab Award 's contents on August 9 or 10 , either through Mountbatten or Radcliffe 's Indian assistant secretary . Regardless of how it transpired , the award was changed to put a salient east of the Sutlej canal within India 's domain instead of Pakistan 's . This area consisted of two Muslim - majority tehsils with a combined population of over half a million . There were two apparent reasons for the switch : the area housed an army arms depot , and contained the headwaters of a canal which irrigated the princely state of Bikaner , which would accede to India . Implementation ( edit ) After the partition , the fledgling governments of India and Pakistan were left with all responsibility to implement the border . After visiting Lahore in August , Viceroy Mountbatten hastily arranged a Punjab Boundary Force to keep the peace around Lahore , but 50,000 men was not enough to prevent thousands of killings , 77 % of which were in the rural areas . Given the size of the territory , the force amounted to less than one soldier per square mile . This was not enough to protect the cities much less the caravans of the hundreds of thousands of refugees who were fleeing their homes in what would become Pakistan . Both India and Pakistan were loath to violate the agreement by supporting the rebellions of villages drawn on the wrong side of the border , as this could prompt a loss of face on the international stage and require the British or the UN to intervene . Border conflicts led to three wars , in 1947 , 1965 , and 1971 , and the Kargil conflict of 1999 . Disputes along the Radcliffe Line ( edit ) There were disputes regarding the Radcliffe Line 's award of the Chittagong Hill Tracts and the Gurdaspur district . Disputes also evolved around the districts of Malda , Khulna , and Murshidabad in Bengal and the sub-division of Karimganj of Assam . In addition to Gurdaspur 's Muslim majority tehsils , Radcliffe also gave the Muslim majority tehsils of Ajnala ( Amritsar District ) , Zira , Ferozpur ( in Ferozpur District ) , Nakodar and Jullander ( in Jullander District ) to India instead of Pakistan . Punjab ( edit ) Ferozpur district ( edit ) Indian historians now accept that Mountbatten probably did influence the Ferozpur award in India 's favour . Gurdaspur district ( edit ) Under British control , the Gurdaspur district was the northernmost district of the Punjab Province . The district itself was administratively subdivided into four tehsils : Shakargarh and Pathankot tehsils to the north , and Gurdaspur and Batala tehsils to the south . Of the four , only the Shakargarh tehsil , which was separated from the rest of the district by the Ravi river , was awarded to Pakistan . ( It was subsequently merged into the Narowal district of West Punjab . ) The Gurdaspur , Batala and Pathankot tehsils became part of India 's East Punjab state . The division of the district was followed by a population transfer between the two nations , with Muslims leaving for Pakistan and Hindus and Sikhs leaving for India . The entire district of Gurdaspur had a bare majority of 50.2 % Muslims . ( In the ` notional ' award attached to the Indian Independence Act , all of Gurdaspur district was marked as Pakistan with 51.14 % Muslim majority . In the 1901 census , the population of Gurdaspur district was 49 % Muslim , 40 % Hindu , and 10 % Sikh . ) The Pathankot tehsil was predominantly Hindu while the other three tehsils were Muslim majority . In the event , only Shakargarh was awarded to Pakistan . Radcliffe explained that the reason for deviating from the notional award in case of Gurdaspur was that the headwaters of the canals that irrigated the Amritsar district lay in the Gurdaspur district and it was important to keep them under one administration . Lord Wavell had stated in February 1946 that Gurdaspur had to go with the Amritsar district , and the latter could not be in Pakistan due to its Sikh religious shrines . In addition , the railway line from Amritsar to Pathankot passed through the Batala and Gurdaspur tehsils . Pakistanis have alleged that the award of the three tehsils to India was a manipulation of the Award by Lord Mountbatten in an effort to provide a land route for India to Jammu and Kashmir . However , Shereen Ilahi points out that the land route to Kashmir was entirely within the Pathankot tehsil , which had a Hindu majority . The award of the Batala and Gurdaspur tehsils to India did not affect Kashmir . Pakistani view on the award of Gurdaspur to India ( edit ) Pakistan maintains that the Radcliffe Award was altered by Mountbatten ; Gurdaspur was handed over to India and thus was manipulated the accession of Kashmir to India . As per the ` notional ' award that had already been put into effect for purposes of administration ad interim , all of Gurdaspur district , owing to its Muslim majority , was assigned to Pakistan . From August 14th to 17th , Mushtaq Ahmed Cheema acted as the Deputy Commissioner of the Gurdaspur District , but when , after a delay of two days , it was announced that the major portion of the district had been awarded to India instead of Pakistan , Cheema left for Pakistan . The major part of Gurdaspur district , i.e. three of the four sub-districts and a small part of the fourth , had been handed over to India giving India practical land access to Kashmir , thus making the Indian intervention in Kashmir possible . It came as a great blow to Pakistan . Jinnah and other leaders of Pakistan , and particularly its officials , criticized the Award as ' extremely unjust and unfair ' . Muhammad Zafarullah Khan , who represented the Muslim League in July 1947 before the Radcliffe Boundary Commission , stated that the Boundary Commission was a farce . A secret deal between Mountbatten and Congress leaders had already been struck . Mehr Chand Mahajan , one of the two Non Muslim members of the Boundary Commission , in his autobiography , has acknowledged that when he was selected for the boundary commission , he was not inclined to accept the invitation as he believed that the commission was just a farce and that decisions were actually to be taken by Mountbatten himself . It was only under British pressure that the charges against Mountbatten of last minute alterations in the Radcliffe Award were not officially brought forward by Pakistani Government in the UN Security Council while presenting its case on Kashmir . Zafrullah Khan states that , in actual fact , adopting the tehsil as a unit would have given Pakistan the Ferozepur and Zira tehsils of the Ferozpur District , the Jullundur and Rahon tehsils of Jullundur district and the Dasuya tehsil of the Hoshiarpur district . The line so drawn would also give Pakistan the State of Kapurthala ( which had a Muslim majority ) and would enclose within Pakistan the whole of the Amritsar district of which only one tehsil , Ajnala , had a Muslim majority . It would also give Pakistan the Shakargarh , Batala and Gurdaspur tehsils of the Gurdaspur district . If the boundary went by Doabs , Pakistan could get not only the 16 districts which had already under the notional partition been put into West Punjab , including the Gurdaspur District , but also get the Kangra District in the mountains , to the north and east of Gurdaspur . Or one could go by Commissioners ' divisions . Any of these units being adopted would have been more favourable to Pakistan than the present boundary line . The tehsil was the most favourable unit . But all of the aforementioned Muslim majority tehsils , with the exception of Shakargarh , were handed over to India while Pakistan did n't receive any Non-Muslim majority district or tehsil in Punjab . Zafruallh Khan states that Radcliffe used district , tehsil , thana , and even village boundaries to divide Punjab in such a way that the boundary line was drawn much to the prejudice of Pakistan . According to Zafrullah Khan , the assertion that the award of the Batala and Gurdaspur tehsils to India did not ' affect ' Kashmir is far - fetched . If Batala and Gurdaspur had gone to Pakistan , Pathankot tehsil would have been isolated and blocked . Even though it would have been possible for India to get access to Pathankot through the Hoshiarpur district , it would have taken quite long time to construct the roads , bridges and communications that would have been necessary for military movements . Assessments on the ' controversial award of Gurdaspur to India and the Kashmir dispute ' ( edit ) Stanley Wolpert writes that Radcliffe in his initial maps awarded Gurdaspur district to Pakistan but one of Nehru 's and Mountbatten 's greatest concerns over the new Punjab border was to make sure that Gurdaspur would not go to Pakistan , since that would have deprived India of direct road access to Kashmir . As per `` The Different Aspects of Islamic Culture '' , a part of UNESCO 's Histories flagship project , recently disclosed documents of the history of the partition reveal British complicity with the top Indian leadership to wrest Kashmir from Pakistan . Alastair Lamb , based on the study of recently declassified documents , has convincingly proven that Mountbatten , in league with Nehru , was instrumental in pressurizing Radcliffe to award the Muslim - majority district of Gurdaspur in East Punjab to India which could provide India with the only possible access to Kashmir . Andrew Roberts believes that Mountbatten cheated over India - Pak frontier and states that if gerrymandering took place in the case of Ferozepur , it is not too hard to believe that Mountbatten also pressurized Radcliffe to ensure that Gurdaspur wound up in India to give India road access to Kashmir . Perry Anderson states that Mountbatten , who was officially supposed to neither exercise any influence on Radcliffe nor to have any knowledge of his findings , intervened behind the scenes -- probably at Nehru 's behest -- to alter the award . He had little difficulty in getting Radcliffe to change his boundaries to allot the Muslim - majority district of Gurdaspur to India instead of Pakistan , thus giving India the only road access from Delhi to Kashmir . However , some British works suggest that the ' Kashmir State was not in anybody 's mind ' when the Award was being drawn and that even the Pakistanis themselves had not realized the importance of Gurdaspur to Kashmir until the Indian forces actually entered Kashmir . Both Mountbatten and Radcliffe , of course , have strongly denied those charges . It is impossible to accurately quantify the personal responsibility for the tragedy of Kashmir as the Mountbatten papers relating to the issue at the India Office Library and records are closed to scholars for an indefinite period . Bengal ( edit ) Chittagong Hill Tracts ( edit ) Chittagong Hill Tracts had a majority non-Muslim population of 97 % ( most of them Buddhists ) , but was given to Pakistan . The Chittagong Hill Tracts People 's Association ( CHTPA ) petitioned the Bengal Boundary Commission that , since the CHTs were inhabited largely by non-Muslims , they should remain within India . Since they had no official representation , there was no official discussion on the matter , and many on the Indian side assumed the CHT would be awarded to India . On 15 August 1947 , many of the tribes did not know to which side of the border they belonged . On 17 August , the publication of the Radcliffe Award put the CHTs in Pakistan . The rationale of giving the Chittagong Hill Tracts to Pakistan was that they were inaccessible to India and to provide a substantial rural buffer to support Chittagong ( now in Bangladesh ) , a major city and port ; advocates for Pakistan forcefully argued to the Bengal Boundary Commission that the only approach was through Chittagong . Two days later , the CHTPA resolved not to abide by the award and hoisted the Indian flag . The Pakistani army dealt with the protest but its polemic somewhat remains with some of its non-Muslim majority arguing for its secession . Malda district ( edit ) Another disputed decision made by Radcliffe was division of the Malda district of Bengal . The district overall had a slight Muslim majority , but was divided and most of it , including Malda town , went to India . The district remained under East Pakistan administration for 3 -- 4 days after 15 August 1947 . It was only when the award was made public that the Pakistani flag was replaced by the Indian flag in Malda . Khulna and Murshidabad districts ( edit ) The entire Khulna District with a marginal Hindu majority of 51 % was also given to East Pakistan in lieu of a smaller Murshidabad district with a 70 % Muslim majority , which went to India . Karimganj ( edit ) Sylhet district of Assam joined Pakistan in accordance with a referendum . However , the Karimganj sub-division with a Muslim majority was severed from Sylhet and given to India . As of the 2001 Indian Census , Karimganj now has a Muslim majority of 52.3 % . Legacy ( edit ) Legacy and historiography ( edit ) The Partition of India is one of the central events in the collective memory in India , Pakistan , and Bangladesh . On his motivation to write Drawing the Line , playwright Howard Brenton said he first became interested in the story of the Radcliffe Line while vacationing in India and hearing stories from people whose families had fled across the new line . Artistic depictions ( edit ) As a crucial determiner in the outcomes of the partition , the Radcliffe Line and award process has been referred to in many films , books , and other artistic depictions of the partition of India . The specific commemoration of the award or the recounting of the story of the process and the people involved in it has been comparatively rare . One notable depiction is Drawing the Line , written by British playwright Howard Brenton . Defending his portrayal of Cyril Radcliffe as a man who struggled with his conscience , Brenton said , `` There were clues that Radcliffe had a dark night of the soul in the bungalow : he refused to accept his fee , he did collect all the papers and draft maps , took them home to England and burnt them . And he refused to say a word , even to his family , about what happened . My playwright 's brain went into overdrive when I discovered these details . '' Indian Filmmaker Ram Madhvani created a nine - minute short film where he explored the plausible scenario of Radcliffe regretting the line he drew . The film was inspired by WH Auden 's poem on the Partition .

who draw the border between india and pakistan
[ "The Radcliffe Line was the boundary demarcation line between India and Pakistan published on 17 August 1947 upon the Partition of India. It was named after its architect, Sir Cyril Radcliffe, who, as chairman of the Border Commissions, was charged with equitably dividing 175,000 square miles (450,000 km2) of territory with 88 million people.[1] Today its western side still serves as the Indo-Pakistani border and the eastern side serves as the India-Bangladesh border." ]

Silverside ( beef ) - Wikipedia Silverside ( beef ) 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 . ( May 2008 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Trimmed silverside Silverside is a term used in the UK , Ireland , South Africa , Australia and New Zealand for a cut of beef from the hindquarter of cattle , just above the leg cut . It gets its name because of the `` silverwall '' on the side of the cut ; this is a long fibrous `` skin '' of connective tissue , which has to be removed as it is too tough to eat . The primary muscle is the biceps femoris . Silverside is boned out from the top along with the topside and thick flank . It is usually prepared as a 2nd class roasting joint . It may also be thinly sliced for minute steak or beef olives , or split in two to produce a salmon - cut . In South Africa , Australia , Ireland and New Zealand , silverside is the cut of choice for making corned beef , so much so that the name `` silverside '' is often used to refer to corned beef rather than any other form of the cut . In most parts of the U.S. , this cut is known as outside or bottom round , as traditionally , a hindquarter is laid on the cutting table with the outside down or to the bottom , as opposed to the inside being on top . In the U.S. it is also known as a rump roast , which means something different in countries using the British beef cut scheme .

Much of the series was filmed on location on the Monterey Peninsula and Big Sur . Several scenes were shot in Pacific Grove and Carmel Highlands as well . Release ( edit ) Marketing ( edit ) On October 16 , 2016 , HBO released the first teaser trailer for the series . On December 5 , 2016 , HBO released a full length trailer for the series . Premiere ( edit ) On February 7 , 2017 , the series held its official premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles , California . Distribution ( edit ) Internationally , the series premiered on February 20 , 2017 , in Australia on Showcase , and on March 13 , 2017 , in the United Kingdom and Ireland on Sky Atlantic . Renewal ( edit ) The show was initially conceived of and billed as a miniseries of seven episodes . In the wake of the Emmy nominations , Reese Witherspoon said : `` As of right now , I think it 's pretty whole . I feel really good about where it is , and if this is all it ever was , it 's a beautiful thing we all accomplished together '' , while Vallée came out strongly against the idea of producing a second season : `` There 's no reason to make a season two . That was meant to be a one - time deal , and it 's finishing in a way where it 's for the audience to imagine what can happen . If we do a season two , we 'll break that beautiful thing and spoil it '' . Later , when the show garnered an array of critical accolades , he changed his mind : `` It 'd be great to reunite the team and to do it . Are we going to be able to do it , altogether ? I wish . '' In July 2017 , two weeks after the series was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Limited Series , HBO revealed that a second season was possible , and that Moriarty had been asked to write a story for it . In December 2017 , after the Critics ' Choice Television Award and Golden Globe Award nomination voting periods were over , HBO officially renewed the series for a seven - episode second season to be written by David E. Kelley and directed by Andrea Arnold . Vallée will remain an executive producer of the series . Meryl Streep will join the cast as the mother of Alexander Skarsgård 's character . The announcement of the second season , and -- specifically -- its timing , enraged the producers of rival shows that are competing for award nomination in the limited series category . Immediately following HBO 's decision to produce a second installment of Big Little Lies , the Producers Guild of America moved to reclassify the original installment of the show from a limited series to a drama series for the upcoming 2018 PGA Awards . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) Big Little Lies was met with a positive response from critics . On the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes , the series holds a 93 % approval rating with an average rating of 8.04 out of 10 based on 102 reviews . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` Bitingly funny and highly addictive , Big Little Lies is a twisty , thrilling , enlightening ride led by a first - rate cast . '' Metacritic , which uses a weighted average , assigned the series a score of 75 out of 100 , based on 42 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . Time magazine listed Big Little Lies as one of its top ten television shows of 2017 . Ratings ( edit ) No .

[ "\nFollowing another beating, Celeste decides to leave Perry the day after trivia night. Ziggy confesses to Jane that it was Max who choked Amabella. Madeline talks to Joseph about his wife knowing about their affair. Jane tells Celeste that her son Max is the bully. When preparing to leave for trivia night, Perry sees a text message on Celeste's phone from the landlady of her new apartment. He confronts her on the way to the party, but is interrupted by Renata. At the party, Celeste tells Renata that Max is the bully. Meanwhile, a drunk Madeline runs away during Ed's singing performance. Jane goes after her and finds her atop stairs at the back of the venue. Madeline tells Jane that she cheated on Ed. Renata also goes after them and apologizes to Jane for having blamed Ziggy. Celeste joins the women, followed by Perry. Bonnie follows them and watches the group from afar. Jane sees Perry and realizes that he is the rapist. Perry pleads with Celeste to come back home with him and when she declines, he viciously attacks her. The group unsuccessfully fights Perry off until Bonnie rushes in and pushes him down the stairs, killing him. In police interviews, the women confirm that there was a fight with Perry but claim he fell accidentally. Despite Detective Quinlan's skepticism, the police accept their version. Later, the five women and their children lounge at the beach, where Detective Quinlan continues to watch them." ]

List of best-selling music artists
List of best - selling Music artists - wikipedia List of best - selling Music artists Jump to : navigation , search This list includes music artists with claims of 75 million or more record sales . The artists in the following tables are listed with both their claimed sales figure along with their total of certified units and are ranked in descending order , with the artist with the highest amount of claimed sales at the top . If two or more artists have the same claimed sales , they are then ranked by certified units . The claimed sales figure and the total of certified units ( for each country ) within the provided sources include sales of albums , singles , compilation - albums , music videos as well as downloads of singles and full - length albums . Sales figures , such as those from Soundscan , which are sometimes published by Billboard magazine , have not been included in the certified units column . As of 2017 , based on both sales claims and certified units , The Beatles are considered the highest - selling band . Elvis Presley is considered the highest - selling individual artist based on sales claims and Rihanna is the highest - selling individual artist based on certified units . Contents ( hide ) 1 Definitions 2 Artists by reputed sales 2.1 250 million or more records 2.2 200 million to 249 million records 2.3 120 million to 199 million records 2.4 100 million to 119 million records 2.5 80 million to 99 million records 2.6 75 million to 79 million records 3 See also 4 Notes 5 References Definitions All artists included on this list , which have begun charting on official albums or singles charts have their available claimed figures supported by at least 20 % in certified units . That is why Cliff Richard , Diana Ross , Scorpions , Charles Aznavour , Bing Crosby , Gloria Estefan , Deep Purple , Iron Maiden , Tom Jones , The Jackson 5 , Dionne Warwick , the Spice Girls , Luciano Pavarotti , Dolly Parton , Ozzy Osbourne , Andrea Bocelli and others have not been included on this list . The more recent the artist , the higher the required percentage of certified units , so artists such as Rihanna , Taylor Swift , Flo Rida , Katy Perry , Justin Bieber , Adele , Lady Gaga , Bruno Mars and Nicki Minaj are expected to have their claimed figures supported by over 75 % in certified units . The certified units are sourced from available online databases of local music industry associations . All certified units are converted from Gold / Platinum / Diamond certification awards based on criteria provided by certifying bodies . The certified sales percentage varies according to the first year that an artist appeared in the charts . The requirements of certified sales are designed to avoid inflated sales figures , which are frequently practiced by record companies for promotional purposes . The claimed figures are referenced from online articles created by highly reliable sources . For clarity , the sources used , say the term `` records '' ( singles , albums , videos ) and not `` albums '' . However , if all available sources for an artist or band say `` albums '' , such sources are only used if the certified album units of the said artist meet the required percentage amount . This list uses claimed figures that are closest to artists ' available certified units : inflated claimed figures that meet the required certified units amount but are unrealistically high , are not used . The claimed figures are upgraded only when there is a significant progress in artists ' certified sales . In other words , the available certified sales for each artist should get relatively closer to already listed claimed figure in order for higher figures to replace the listed ones . The certified sales of the newer artists may sometimes be higher than their listed claimed figures . This is because Recording Industry Association of America and almost all other certifying bodies count streaming towards Gold and Platinum thresholds required for Digital Single Award certification . For this reason , some singles and even albums get over certified by hundreds of thousands of units . The over certified figures , however , are often in millions of units for RIAA certifications , one such example is Rihanna 's single `` We Found Love '' , which is certified at nine times Platinum by the RIAA , yet during the time of the certification , it had sold 5.4 million downloads . The certified sales for some artists / bands who have multi-disc albums can be higher than their listed claimed figures due to Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) counting each unit within set as one unit toward certification . Artists by reputed sales 250 million or more records The Beatles Elvis Presley Michael Jackson Madonna Elton John Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd To ensure the highest level of fact checking and editorial control , this list sources sales figures to news organizations and highly regarded music industry related organizations such as MTV , VH1 , Billboard and Rolling Stone . The figures of total certified units within the table below are based on certified units of albums , singles ( including digital downloads ) and videos . Markets ' order within the table is based on Retail Value : each market generates respectively , the largest market at the top and smallest at the bottom .

Record companies often apply for certifications only when a record reaches a multiple certification - levels , meaning certifications might not be visible in the databases for more than a short period of time after an album reached a certification level . As global music sales declined in the 2000s mostly due to CD burning and downloading from unauthorized sites , certification bodies opted to reduce their certification levels . See the changes in Certification - award - levels in the following markets : United States ( Note , U.S. certification - award - levels for singles before 1989 were : 1,000,000 for Gold and 2,000,000 for Platinum . Also , U.S. certification - awards for Shortform albums before September 1996 were : 250,000 for Gold and 500,000 for Platinum ) Japan United Kingdom Germany France Canada ( Canadian certification - award - levels for singles before February 1982 were : 75,000 for Gold and 150,000 for Platinum ) Italy Netherlands Brazil Sweden Spain Mexico Switzerland Belgium Argentina Denmark Austria : Poland Finland New Zealand : ( NZ certification levels before June 2007 were : 5,000 for Gold , 10,000 for Platinum ) ( The levels for singles were adjusted again on June 17 , 2016 from previous 7,500 for Gold , 15,000 for Platinum , to 15,000 for Gold , 30,000 for Platinum ) References Jump up ^ NEWSLINE : A Former Music Executive .

Seat belt laws in the United States
Seat belt laws in the United States - wikipedia Seat belt laws in the United States Jump to : navigation , search Seat belt laws for front seat passengers in the U.S. as of 2009 No enforcement for adults ( primary enforcement for minors ) Secondary enforcement Secondary enforcement ; primary under certain ages Primary enforcement Most seat belt laws in the United States are left to the states . However , the first seat belt law was a federal law , Title 49 of the United States Code , Chapter 301 , Motor Vehicle Safety Standard , which took effect on January 1 , 1968 , that required all vehicles ( except buses ) to be fitted with seat belts in all designated seating positions . This law has since been modified to require three - point seat belts in outboard - seating positions , and finally three - point seat belts in all seating positions . Initially , seat belt use was voluntary . New York was the first state to pass a law which required vehicle occupants to wear seat belts , a law that came into effect on December 1 , 1984 . Officer Nicholas Cimmino of the Westchester County Department of Public Safety wrote the nations first ticket for such violation . Contents ( hide ) 1 Primary and secondary enforcement 2 Laws by state 3 Damages reduction 4 Effectiveness 5 See also 6 References Primary and secondary enforcement ( edit ) U.S. seatbelt laws may be subject to primary enforcement or secondary enforcement . Primary enforcement allows a police officer to stop and ticket a driver if he or she observes a violation . Secondary enforcement means that a police officer may only stop or cite a driver for a seatbelt violation if the driver committed another primary violation ( such as speeding , running a stop sign , etc . ) at the same time . New Hampshire is the only U.S. state that does not by law require adult drivers to wear safety belts while operating a motor vehicle . In 18 of the 50 states , the seat belt law is considered a secondary offense , which means that a police officer can not stop and ticket a driver for the sole offense of not wearing a seatbelt . ( One exception to this is Colorado , where children not properly restrained is a primary offense and brings a much larger fine . ) If a driver commits a primary violation ( e.g. , for speeding ) he may additionally be charged for not wearing a seatbelt . In most states the seat belt law was originally a secondary offense ; in many it was later changed to a primary offense : California was the first state to do this , in 1993 . Of the 30 with primary seat belt laws , all but 8 , Connecticut , Hawaii , Iowa , New Mexico , New York , North Carolina , Oregon , and Texas , originally had only secondary enforcement laws . Laws by state ( edit ) This table contains a brief summary of all seatbelt laws in the United States . This list includes only seatbelt laws , which often do not themselves apply to children ; however , all 50 states and the District of Columbia have separate child restraint laws . Keep in mind these fines are the base fines only . In many cases considerable extra fees such as the head injury fund and court security fees can mark up the fine to almost five times as much in some cases . These are also `` first offense '' fines ; a subsequent offense may be much higher .

Kansas , Maryland , and New Jersey , law is Secondary Enforcement for rear seat occupants ( 18 + in Kansas ) . These states assess points on one 's driving record for the seat belt violation . In California - An additional penalty of $24 shall be levied upon every $10 or fraction thereof , of every fine , penalty , or forfeiture imposed by and collected by the court for criminal offenses , including all traffic offenses , except parking offenses as defined in subdivision ( i ) of Penal Code § 1463 . The additional penalty is calculated as follows : State penalty required by PC 1464 $10 , County penalty required by GC 76000 ( e ) , $ 7 Court facilities construction penalty required by GC 70372 ( a ) , $ 3 DNA Identification Fund penalty required by GC 76104.6 and 76104.7 , $ 2 Emergency medical services penalty required by GC 76000.5 , $ 2 Penal Code § 1465.8 requires imposition of an additional fee of twenty dollars ( $20 ) for court security on every conviction for a criminal offense , including a traffic offense , except parking offenses as defined in Penal Code § 1463 , $20 Damages reduction ( edit ) A person involved in a car accident who was not using a seatbelt may be liable for damages far greater than if they had been using a seatbelt . However , when in court , most states protect motorists from having their damages reduced in a lawsuit due to the nonuse of a seatbelt , even if they were acting in violation of the law by not wearing the seatbelt . Currently , damages may be reduced for the nonuse of a seatbelt in 16 states : Alaska , Arizona , California , Colorado , Florida ( See F.S.A. 316.614 ( 10 ) ) , Iowa , Michigan , Missouri , Nebraska , New Jersey , New York , North Dakota , Ohio , Oregon , West Virginia , and Wisconsin . Effectiveness ( edit ) Seat belt laws are effective in reducing car crash deaths . One study found that mandatory - seatbelt laws reduced traffic fatalities by 8 % and serious traffic - related injuries by 9 % , respectively . Primary - seatbelt laws seem to be more effective at reducing crash deaths than secondary laws .

The Philippine National Government , the National Museum of the Philippines , the University of Santo Tomas , the UNESCO Commission of the Philippines and other concerned parties encourage more historic churches , municipal and city governments , provincial governments , national parks , and private entities to submit their nominations of sites that they have jurisdiction of to UNESCO to revitalize heritage conservation in the country and to internationalize the importance of heritage conservation in the Philippines , which is seen to be the greatest frontier of westernized Asian nations in a hastily industrializing Asia . Some scholars have suggested for Filipino UNESCO - related agencies to undergo UNESCO cooperation with Spain and France to maximize the possibility of more UNESCO declarations in the country as declarations since the entrance of the 21st century was regarded as ' too few and very slow ' ( 1 - 2 sites per 10 years ) as compared to UNESCO records of Asian peers , namely , Japan ( 1 - 2 sites per 5 years ) , India ( 3 - 5 sites per 8 years ) and China ( 1 - 3 sites per 2 years ) .

The Republic of the Philippines first became a committee member from 1991 up to 1997 , where 3 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the country were enlisted in heritage list . Its first committe membership also brought the first site declaration in the country and the most site declarations in a given time frame . It became a committe member again from 2011 up to 2017 , where only 1 site for the country was declared . The state did not participate heavily in the nomination of its own sites in its second term due to the intention of the government to act as a ' neutral ' committe member . World Heritage List ( edit ) A proposal has been suggested by scholars to make a separate UNESCO inclusion for the entire Intramuros district , which would include San Agustin Church . The same would be made for the other three churches listed in UNESCO , where each town plaza and surrounding heritage buildings would be added . The move would separate the 4 properties of the site and would fruit into 4 distinct UNESCO World Heritage Sites for the Philippines . No government agency has yet to take action on the proposal . If pursued and becomes successful , it will be the first site diversification in UNESCO history . Type ( criteria ) Site Location Description Image Year Ref Cultural : ( ii ) ( iv ) Baroque Churches of the Philippines Paoay Church in Ilocos Norte The Church of San Agustín at Paoay is the most outstanding example in the Philippines of ' Earthquake Baroque ' . Fourteen buttresses are ranged along the lines of a giant volute supporting a smaller one and surmounted by pyramidal finials . A pair of buttresses at the midpoint of each nave wall have stairways for access to the roof . The lower part of the apse and most of the walls are constructed of coral stone blocks , the upper levels being finished in brick , but this order is reversed on the facade . The massive coral stone bell tower , which was added half a century after the church was completed , stands at some distance from the church , again as a protection against damage during earthquakes . 1993 Santa Maria Church in Ilocos Sur Unlike other town churches in the Philippines , which conform to the Spanish tradition of sitting them on the central plaza , the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asuncion in Santa Maria with its convento are on a hill surrounded by a defensive wall . Also unusual are the sitting of the convento parallel to the facade of the church and that of the separate bell tower ( characteristic of Philippine - Hispanic architecture ) at the midpoint of the nave wall . This was dictated by the hill on which it is located . The brick church follows the standard Philippine layout , with a monumental facade masking a straight roof - line covering a long rectangular building . It is alleged to be built on a solid raft as a precaution against earthquake damage . The walls are devoid of ornament but have delicately carved side entrances and strong buttresses . Miagao Church in Iloilo The Church of Santo Tomas de Villanueva stands on the highest point of Miagao , its towers serving as lookouts against Muslim raids . It is the finest surviving example of ' Fortress Baroque ' . The sumptuous facade epitomizes the Filipino transfiguration of western decorative elements , with the figure of Saint Christopher on the pediment dressed in native clothes , carrying the Christ Child on his back , and holding on to a coconut palm for support . The entire riotously decorated facade is flanked by massive tapering bell towers of unequal heights . San Agustin Church in Manila The Church of the Immaculate Conception of San Agustín was the first church built on the island of Luzon in 1571 , immediately after the Spanish conquest of Manila . A site within the district of Intramuros was assigned to the Augustinian Order , the first to evangelize in the Philippines . In 1587 the impermanent earliest building in wood and palm fronds was replaced by a stone church and monastery in stone , the latter becoming the Augustinian mother house in the Philippines . It was the only structure in Intramuros to survive the liberation of Manila in 1945 . Miag - ao became an independent parish in 1731 , when a simple church and convento were built . However , destruction of the town by Muslim pirates in 1741 and 1754 led to the town being rebuilt in a more secure location . The new church , constructed in 1787 -- 97 , was built as a fortress , to withstand further incursions . It was , however , damaged severely by fire during the revolution against Spain in 1898 and in the Second World War . Two bell towers were added in 1854 , but the northern one cracked in the 1880 earthquake and had to be demolished . In the interior of the church the wall paintings date from the 19th century , but they overlie the original tempera murals . As a result , the church was richly endowed , with a fine retablo , pulpit , lectern and choir - stalls . Of special interest is the series of crypto - collateral chapels lining both sides of the nave . The walls separating them act as buttresses . The stone barrel vault , dome , and arched vestibule are all unique in the Philippines . A monastery complex was formerly linked to the church by a series of cloisters , arcades , courtyards and gardens , but all except one building were destroyed in 1945 . Cultural : ( ii ) ( iv ) Historic Town of Vigan Ilocos Sur Established in the 16th century , Vigan is the best - preserved example of a planned Spanish colonial town in Asia . Its architecture reflects the coming together of cultural elements from elsewhere in the Philippines , from China and from Europe , resulting in a culture and townscape that have no parallel anywhere in East and South - East Asia . Vigan is an exceptionally intact and well - preserved example of a European trading town in East and South - East Asia . The architecture is truly reflective of its roots in both materials and design , in its fusion of Asian building design and construction with European colonial architecture and planning . The town is located in the delta of the Abra River , off the coastal plain of the China Sea , close to the north - east tip of the island of Luzon . The present - day municipality divided into nine urban districts and thirty rural villages . Almost half the total area is still in use for agriculture . The Historic Core Zone is defined on two sides by the Govantes and Mestizo rivers . 1999 Natural : ( x ) Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary Davao Oriental Forming a north - south running mountain ridge along the Pujada Peninsula in the southeastern part of the Eastern Mindanao Biodiversity Corridor , the Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary has an elevation range of 75 -- 1,637 m above sea level , and provides critical habitat for a range of plant and animal species . The property showcases terrestrial and aquatic habitats and the species that they host at a series of different elevations are responding to highly dissimilar soil and climate conditions . The Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary provides a sanctuary to a host of globally threatened and endemic flora and fauna species , eight of which are found nowhere else except Mount Hamiguitan . These include critically endangered trees , plants and the iconic Philippine Eagle and Philippine Cockatoo . 2014 Natural : ( vii ) ( x ) Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park Palawan The site of the Puerto - Princesa Subterranean River National Park is located in the Saint Paul Mountain Range . It is north - west of Puerto Princesa , the capital of Palawan Province . The topography varies from flat plains to rolling hinterlands and hills to mountain peaks . Over 90 % of the park comprises sharp , karst limestone ridges around Mount Saint Paul , which is itself part of a series of rounded , limestone peaks aligned on a north - south axis , along the western coast of Palawan . The focus of the area is a spectacular karst landscape which features both surface karst features ( pinnacles , shafts , dolines and limestone cliffs ) , as well as an extensive underground river system . The subterranean river is 8.2 kilometres ( 5.1 mi ) long , one of the most unusual of its type in the world and includes many speleotherms , several large chambers exist , up to 120 metres ( 390 ft ) wide and 60 metres ( 200 ft ) high . A distinguishing feature of the river is the fact that it emerges directly into the sea , and that the lower portion of the river is brackish and subject to tidal influences . The underground river ( the Cabayugan River ) arises approximately 2 kilometres ( 1.2 mi ) south - west of Mount Saint Paul at an altitude of 100 metres ( 330 ft ) , and flows underground for almost its entire length to an outflow into Saint Paul 's Bay . All rivers and associated tributaries are within the park , which is important in relation to catchments impacts on the water quality of the Cabayugan River . It has been declared as one of the New7Wonders of Nature . 1999 Cultural : ( iii ) ( iv ) ( v ) Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras : Batad Rice Terraces , Bangaan Rice Terraces ( both in Banaue ) , Mayoyao Rice Terraces ( in Mayoyao ) , Hungduan Rice Terraces ( in Hungduan ) and Nagacadan Rice Terraces ( in Kiangan ) Ifugao For 2,000 years , the high rice fields of the Ifugao have followed the contours of the mountains . The fruit of knowledge handed down from one generation to the next , and the expression of sacred traditions and a delicate social balance , they have helped to create a landscape of great beauty that expresses the harmony between humankind and the environment . The rice terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras are living cultural landscapes devoted to the production of one of the world 's most important staple crops , rice . They preserve traditional techniques and forms dating back many centuries , still viable today . At the same time they illustrate a remarkable degree of harmony between humankind and the natural environment of great aesthetic appeal , as well as demonstrating sustainable farming systems in mountainous terrain , based on a careful use of natural resources . They are the only monuments in the Philippines that show no evidence of having been influenced by colonial cultures . Owing to the difficult terrain , the Cordillera tribes are among the few peoples of the Philippines who have successfully resisted foreign domination and preserved their authentic tribal culture . The history of the terraces is intertwined with that of its people , their culture , and their traditional practices . 1995 Natural : ( vii ) ( ix ) ( x ) Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park Sulu Sea Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park lies in a unique position in the centre of the Sulu Sea , and includes the Tubbataha and Jessie Beazley Reefs . It protects an area of almost 100,000 hectares ( 250,000 acres ) of high quality marine habitats containing three atolls and a large area of deep sea . The property is home to a great diversity of marine life . Whales , dolphins , sharks , turtles and Napoleon wrasse are among the key species found here . The reef ecosystems support over 350 species of coral and almost 500 species of fish . The reserve also protects one of the few remaining colonies of breeding seabirds in the region . 1993 Tentative List ( edit ) Investigation of potential copyright issue Please note this is about the text of this Wikipedia article ; it should not be taken to reflect on the subject of this article .

The following 19 sites are on the Tentative List for the Philippines , meaning that the government intends to consider them for nomination in the future : There has been a proposal to separate the five Baroque Churches of the Philippines ( Extension ) properties , where each site shall include town plazas and surrounding heritage buildings , so they can stand on their own as UNESCO Heritage Sites . There has also been a similar proposal for the Petroglyphs and Petrographs of the Philippine which contains five properties located in completely different cultural zones . In 2014 , the Lazi Church as a sole site was nominated by the Philippines , however , UNESCO advised the government to prepare a more complete dossier first , including its surrounding heritage structures and domains . In March 20 , 2015 , the UNESCO Tentative List of the Philippines was fully revised after recommendations from the UNESCO itself . The original Tentative List before the March 2015 Revision enlisted 28 sites . In October 2015 , the National Commission for Culture and the Arts announced through their official Instagram account that they shall nominate the Sugar Centrals of the Philippines and related properties of Negros Occidental to the World Heritage List in the near future . Though the site has yet to be entered in the tentative list . In 2016 , the government undertook a UNESCO conference to prepare the dossiers of more than ten sites in the country , notably Coron Natural Biotic Area , Mount Mantalingahan Protected Landscape , and the Chocolate Hills Natural Monument , among many others . A second conference followed afterwards , where most of the participants were from sites categorized as natural properties . Representatives from cultural sites , notably chuches , lacked during both of the conferences despite government contacts . In 2017 , Tourism secretary Wanda Teo ordered the Nickelodeon Theme Park in Coron to push through , despite the site being an ecological frontier , a natural biotic area , and part of the country 's tentative list to UNESCO . The establishment of the theme park endangers the site 's inclusion in the World Heritage List . In August of the same year , after a massive backlash from environmental groups and the majority of the public , it was announced that the theme park would no longer push through .

The first was the city of Vigan in Ilocos Sur followed by the municipality of Miagao in Iloilo . The Organization of World Heritage Cities inscribed Miagao on the basis that it possesses the Miagao Church , however , in the inscription description , it covered all towns / cities that possess a UNESCO - inscribed Baroque - style church ( including Manila , Santa Maria , and Paoay ) , making it eligible for those three other towns / cities to be inscribed as World Heritage Cities . A member city may be nominated by any party for the Jean - Paul - L'Allier Prize for Heritage which is given by the OWHC every two years . The nomination is submitted via the website of the OWHC . City Province Description Image Ref Vigan Ilocos Sur Vigan , established in the 16th century , is the best - preserved example of a planned Spanish colonial town in Asia . Its architecture reflects the coming together of cultural elements from elsewhere in the Philippines and from China with those of Europe to create a unique culture and townscape without parallel anywhere in East and Southeast Asia . The whole city of Vigan is inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List as the Historic City of Vigan . Miagao Iloilo This group of churches established a style of building and design that was adapted to the physical conditions in the Philippines and had an important influence on later church architecture in the region . The four churches are outstanding examples of the Philippine interpretation of the Baroque style , and represent the fusion of European church design and construction with local materials and decorative motifs to form a new church - building tradition . The municipality of Miagao is the location of one of the four Baroque Churches of the Philippines inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List .

They then put the assemble the bones in fetal position on a cloth and dress the skeletons as if the ancestor is still alive . They then put it inside ancestral burial caves which have been used for hundreds of year , prior to Spanish colonization . These caves are the most historic indigenous sites in Mindoro island and have been the center of Hanunoo Mangyan culture for centuries . Some of the caves have been looted by lowland settlers in exchange for money from Japanese firms in 2009 , but has since halted . No known ancestral burial cave have been conserved by the government from looting . Many of the caves are held as secrets from the public in fear that the caves would be looted again by lowland settlers or foreigners . Natural : ( ix ) ( x ) Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary Agusan del Sur Agusan Marsh is one of the most ecologically significant wetlands in the Philippines . Found in the heart of Mindanao 's Agusan Basin , this vast expanse of marsh covers an area roughly the size of Metro Manila . It contains nearly 15 % of the nation 's fresh water resources in the form of swamp forests . The marshland acts like a sponge , as it is nestled in the midwaters of the Agusan River drainage basin . Within its lakes , several floating communities can be found . The sanctuary was home to the 20.24 feet ( 6.17 meter ) saltwater crocodile Lolong , the world 's largest captive crocodile .

Viewed from Tagaytay Ridge , Taal Volcano and Lake presents one of the most picturesque and attractive views in the Philippines . It is classified as a Decade Volcano . Natural : ( ix ) ( x ) Panglao Island Natural Biotic Area Bohol Panglao has a terrain that ranges from plain , hilly to mountainous . Panglao is made of Maribojoc limestone , the youngest of the limestone units found in the western area of Bohol . The limestone composition halted the development of an airport as coralline limestone is soluble which causes formation of caves and sinkholes . One interesting geological feature found in the island is the Hinagdanan Cave which has an underground water source . The cave is an important water source as the island has no rivers or lakes . The entire island is biologically rich in freshwater crab species found nowhere else . Cultural : ( i ) ( ii ) ( iv ) San Sebastian Church Manila Completed in 1891 , San Sebastian Church is noted for its architectural features . An example of the revival of Gothic architecture in the Philippines , it is the only all - steel church in the Philippines , and is the only prefabricated steel church in the world .

It is located between Malaybalay City and the municipalities of Lantapan , Impasugong , Sumilao , and Libona . The name `` Kitanglad '' was derived from a legend that there was once a great flood that submerged the native lands of Bukidnon and only the tip of the mountain , the size of a `` tanglad '' ( lemon grass ) , remained visible ( `` kita '' in Visayan ) . It is considered as an ancestral domain of several old cultural communities like the Bukidnons , Higaonons and Talaandigs . Mixed : Buenavista Protected Landscape including the Kamhantik Limestone Tomb Ensemble Quezon province The Buenavista Protected Landscape is an important watershed crossed by several rivers and streams such as the Mulanay River , Taisan Creek and Mahanao Creek which empty into the Sibuyan Sea .

The protected area also contains several caves in the karst area extending to the village of Amuguis . On the forest - covered summit of Mount Maclayao in Sitio Kamhantik , at least 15 limestone coffins dating to approximately the 10th to the 14th century have been unearthed by Filipino archaeologists in 2012 . According to the National Museum of the Philippines , the limestone coffins are `` similar to ancient sarcophagus with round holes where wooden posts of houses or sheds may have stood '' but the covers are missing , probably due to irresponsible treasure hunters during the Yamashita hype in the late 20th century . These rectangular tombs carved into limestone outcrops from the forest ground are said to be at least 1,000 years old based on US carbon dating tests carried out on a human tooth found in one of the graves . An ancient canal drainage system is also profound in the area , where some canals go under centuries - old balete trees . Numerous limestone coffins are also located under centuries - old trees . In addition , archaeologists have also discovered shards of earthen jars , metal objects , and bone fragments of humans , monkeys , wild pigs , and other animals in the tombs .

It is one of the several high elevation peaks in the Kalatungan Mountain Range in Bukidnon on the island of Mindanao , the second largest island in the Philippines . Mixed : Sitangkai - Sibutu Protected Landscape and Seascape Tawi - Tawi The site is called the `` Venice of the Philippines '' due to the use of boats as primary transportation , although footbridges connect one house from another . The major sources of livelihood are fishing and farming , although there is very sparse agricultural land available . The collective expanse of the area is extremely biodiverse .

It was declared a National Cultural Treasure of the Philippines in 2008 . - style = `` vertical - align : top ; '' Cultural : Balobok Rock Shelter Archaeological Site in Bongao , Tawi - Tawi Tawi - Tawi The site is one of the earliest human settlement zones in the entire Southeast Asian region . The site itself is part of a huge karst system with layers of shells and other minerals made by early humans . More excavation led to discovery of ancient artifacts like flake tools , polished stones , earthenware shards , bone tools and some animal remains . These remains and artifacts were dated by C - 14 to be around 8,810 to 5,190 years ago , making the site of the most significant archaeological sites in the region . The site was declared an Important Cultural Property in 2017 by the National Government . - style = `` vertical - align : top ; '' Both Guiuan Church of Eastern Samar and Loboc Church of Bohol , despite being heavily damaged by the Bohol earthquake and Supertyphoon Haiyan in 2013 , are still considered part of the Philippines ' UNESCO Tentative List as part of the Five churches in the ' Baroque Churches of the Philippines ( Extension ) ' . Baclayon Church of Bohol , on the other hand , was almost completely destroyed and suffered the worst destruction of a National Cultural Treasure through natural calamity . It is being restored , like all other heritage sites affected by the series of calamities in 2013 , by the National Museum of the Philippines . The Maranao Settlement of Tugaya was suggested by UNESCO to be submitted in the future by the Philippines as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage instead . Mount Apo Natural Park , Panglao Island , and Taal Volcano Protected Landscape were removed from the Tentative List because their original features , as stated in the submissions , do not show their current features due to the massive disturbances in the park . Resubmitting the sites through revision of its features is a possible move to gain back their Tentative status . The Angono Petroglyphs have been formally infused in the UNESCO Tentative site of ' Petroglyphs and Petrographs of the Philippines ' , which includes four other sites from all over the country . San Sebastian Church of Manila , Spanish Colonial Fortifications of the Philippines , Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary , Liguasan Marsh , Mount Matutum Protected Landscape , and Mount Kitanglad undergo a stringent process upon review ; and some would have a hard time meeting the criteria set by the World Heritage Committee ( WHC ) . Due to this , they were removed from the list . Bulking Mount Matutum with other national parks in south central Mindanao , like Indonesia did for their Tropical Rainforest of Sumatra nomination bid , is recommended . Similar nominations to bulk national parks in north central Mindanao , eastern Mindanao , eastern Visayas , the Philippine Cordilleras , northern Sierra Madre , southern Sierra Madre , Panay - Negros , Zambales - Bataan , Sulu faunal region , and other rainforest cluster regions in the country are also recommended . Notable sites that may be submitted in the tentative list also include the Buenavista Protected Landscape including the Limestone Tombs of Kamhantik in Quezon province , the Maitum Anthropological Caves of Sarangani , the Saludnon ( Panay - Bukidnon ) Rice Terraces and Rainforest Complex in Antique , the Sitangkai - Sibutu Protected Landscape and Seascape in Tawi - tawi , the Old Town of Lubuagan and its Environs in Kalinga , the Archaeological and Ecological Landscape and Seascape of Ticao Island in Masbate , the Lake Sebu T'boli Cultural and Natural Landscape in South Cotabato , and the Old Fort Town of Capul in Northern Samar . Indigenous village architectural landscapes have also been regarded as ' possible UNESCO sites ' as they are in line with other UNESCO Heritage Sites just like the traditional villages of Japan and Europe . UNESCO Global Geoparks in the Philippines ( edit ) The Chocolate Hills in Carmen , Bohol . UNESCO Global Geoparks are single , unified geographical areas where sites and landscapes of international geological significance are managed with a holistic concept of protection , education and sustainable development . A UNESCO Global Geopark uses its geological heritage , in connection with all other aspects of the area 's natural and cultural heritage , to enhance awareness and understanding of key issues facing society , such as using our earth 's resources sustainably , mitigating the effects of climate change and reducing natural disasters - related risks . By raising awareness of the importance of the area 's geological heritage in history and society today , UNESCO Global Geoparks give local people a sense of pride in their region and strengthen their identification with the area . The creation of innovative local enterprises , new jobs and high quality training courses is stimulated as new sources of revenue are generated through geotourism , while the geological resources of the area are protected . UNESCO Global Geoparks empower local communities and give them the opportunity to develop cohesive partnerships with the common goal of promoting the area 's significant geological processes , features , periods of time , historical themes linked to geology , or outstanding geological beauty . UNESCO Global Geoparks are established through a bottom - up process involving all relevant local and regional stakeholders and authorities in the area ( e.g. land owners , community groups , tourism providers , indigenous people , and local organizations ) . This process requires firm commitment by the local communities , a strong local multiple partnership with long - term public and political support , and the development of a comprehensive strategy that will meet all of the communities ' goals while showcasing and protecting the area 's geological heritage . The La Paz Sand Dunes in April 2011 The Global Geoparks Network was established in 1998 . The Republic of the Philippines ratified its membership in the network on 2015 , along with all other UNESCO Member States that has yet to ratify the network since 1998 . A UNESCO - designated global geopark in the Philippines will immediately be a member of the Asia Pacific Geoparks Network as well . Lake Pinatubo , the crater lake resulting from the 1991 eruption , pictured here in 2008 As of 2017 , the Philippines has zero listed properties in the UNESCO Global Geoparks Network . The Chocolate Hills Natural Monument in Bohol , Biri Larosa Protected Landscape and Seascape in Northern Samar , Timpoong and Hibok - Hibok Natural Monument in Camiguin , Mount Pinatubo Volcanic Landscape in Central Luzon , the La Paz Sand Dunes and Kapurpurawan Rock Formations in Ilocos Norte , Minalungao National Park in Nueva Ecija , Mount Guiting - Guiting National Park in Romblon , Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park in Palawan Mount Mayon are strong contenders for inscription . Canyon of Minalungao National Park Puerto Princesa Underground River and its forests and karst , a UNESCO World Heritage Site Application process ( edit ) The UNESCO Global Geoparks Secretariat at UNESCO Headquarters coordinates the proposal submissions and is ready to provide advice . If existing in your country , National Geopark Committees may also be able to assist . Successful UNESCO Global Geopark applications will have demonstrated that , already in the planning phase , they discussed and exchanged with other UNESCO Global Geoparks as well as the Global Geoparks Network ( this usually starts several years before the actual submission of a dossier ) . It is important to seek advice in the preparation phase , participate in international or regional Geopark meetings , conferences , or short courses . Before any formal application , any aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark must submit an expression of interest via the official channel as set out in the Statutes and Operational Guidelines for UNESCO Global Geoparks ( in . pdf form ) . A comprehensive and carefully formatted application dossier ( including supporting material to demonstrate that the area has already been functioning as a de facto Global Geopark for at least one year ) must be submitted in the same way . The aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark must have geological heritage of international value and be managed by a body having legal existence recognized under national legislation that has a comprehensive management plan , covering governance , development , communication , protection , infrastructure , finance , and partnership issues . The aspiring UNESCO Global Geoparks must be visible to both visitors and local people through a dedicated website , leaflets , and detailed map of the area that connects the area 's geological and other sites . An aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark must also have a corporate identity . The timelines for UNESCO Global Geopark proposals and evaluation procedure are : Aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark sends a letter of intent , ideally by 1 July Submission of applications between 1 October and 30 November Verification check on completeness of documents after 1 December Desktop evaluations until 30 April Field evaluation missions starting 1 May Recommendations on applications by the UNESCO Global Geoparks Council in September Decision by the Executive Board of UNESCO during its spring session UNESCO Creative cities Network in the Philippines ( edit ) The UNESCO Creative Cities Network ( UCCN ) was created in 2004 to promote cooperation with and among cities that have identified creativity as a strategic factor for sustainable urban development . The 116 cities which currently make up this network work together towards a common objective : placing creativity and cultural industries at the heart of their development plans at the local level and cooperating actively at the international level . UNESCO is campaigning for more cities to join the network to enhance the creative potential for sustainable urban development , exchange know - how and cooperate on an international level of creative cities worldwide . The categories that a city can be inscribed in are : Crafts & Folk Art , Design , Film , Gastronomy , Literature , Media Arts , and Music . The Philippines currently has no cities inscribed in the network . Cities / towns that have a high chance for nomination include Tugaya , which has been declared as a UNESCO Home for Culture and Heritage due to its indigenous crafts made of wood , threads , metals , and beads , Tiwi , which is known for its exquisite terracotta potteries , Lake Sebu , which is known for its indigenous crafts on necklaces , gongs , and other fine and unique metalwares , Basey , which is known for its fine garments -- one of the best in Southeast Asia , Dumaguete City , which is the literature sweet spot in the Philippines and a huge contributor for Filipino and world literature , San Fernando , which is the capital of the capital of the Philippines ' gastronomic culture , Romblon town , which is the marble capital of the Philippines and possesses the most number of fine home - made marbles anywhere in Southeast Asia , and Manila , which is one of the design , media arts , and music havens of the Philippines . Application ( edit ) To become a member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network , candidate cities must submit an application that clearly demonstrates their willingness , commitment and capacity to contribute to the objectives of the Network . The Network covers 7 creative fields , which can be chosen by the cities according to their preference for a specific creative industry sector to which they devote their talent and energy . The member cities that form the Network come from diverse regions , have different income levels and populations . The Network is first and foremost composed of cities ready to pool their resources , their experiences and knowledge for the common objectives laid out in the Network 's Mission Statement . UNESCO Creative Cities are indeed key partners to UNESCO for the local implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development . Joining the network is a longstanding commitment ; it must involve a participative process and a forward - looking approach . Cities must present a realistic action plan including specific projects , initiatives or policies to be executed in the next four years to implement the objectives of the Network . Participation ( edit ) In August 2017 , the government of the Philippines announced its plan to nominate Philippine cities in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network . Cities in the country which have been cited as having a strong potential in becoming part of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network are Baguio , Davao City , Angeles City , Cebu City and a number of cities in Metro Manila including the City of Manila . No semi-urban city was listed by the government .

Several sources evaluated as very reliable for this information give the elevation of Mount Kitanglad as 2,899 m . Several sources evaluated as less reliable for this information list a mountain named `` Mount Katanglad '' ( spelled with `` Ka '' instead of `` Ki '' ) with an elevation of 2,938 m . Information gathered from the more reliable sources mentioned previously suggests that the elevation information in these sources is in error for Mount Kitanglad , and may refer to the nearby peak of Mount Dulang - dulang . Since the discovery of this error , Peakbagger ( a site previously in error over the confusion between the two peaks ) now has a verified page for `` Mount Dulang - dulang '' , confirming the above information for that peak . Additionally , Peakbagger now also has a page for `` Mt . Kitanglad '' ( with the correct spelling with an `` i '' and the corrected elevation data ) explaining the mistake , though the Kitanglad page does contain a disclaimer stating its information is currently unverified .

[ "\n\nType (criteria)\nSite\nLocation\nDescription\nImage\nYear\nRef\n\n\nCultural: (ii)(iv)\nBaroque Churches of the Philippines\nPaoay Church in Ilocos Norte\nThe Church of San Agustín at Paoay is the most outstanding example in the Philippines of 'Earthquake Baroque'. Fourteen buttresses are ranged along the lines of a giant volute supporting a smaller one and surmounted by pyramidal finials. A pair of buttresses at the midpoint of each nave wall have stairways for access to the roof. The lower part of the apse and most of the walls are constructed of coral stone blocks, the upper levels being finished in brick, but this order is reversed on the facade. The massive coral stone bell tower, which was added half a century after the church was completed, stands at some distance from the church, again as a protection against damage during earthquakes.\n\n1993\n[1]\n\n\nSanta Maria Church in Ilocos Sur\nUnlike other town churches in the Philippines, which conform to the Spanish tradition of sitting them on the central plaza, the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asuncion in Santa Maria with its convento are on a hill surrounded by a defensive wall. Also unusual are the sitting of the convento parallel to the facade of the church and that of the separate bell tower (characteristic of Philippine-Hispanic architecture) at the midpoint of the nave wall. This was dictated by the hill on which it is located. The brick church follows the standard Philippine layout, with a monumental facade masking a straight roof-line covering a long rectangular building. It is alleged to be built on a solid raft as a precaution against earthquake damage. The walls are devoid of ornament but have delicately carved side entrances and strong buttresses.\n\n\n\nMiagao Church in Iloilo\nThe Church of Santo Tomas de Villanueva stands on the highest point of Miagao, its towers serving as lookouts against Muslim raids. It is the finest surviving example of 'Fortress Baroque'. The sumptuous facade epitomizes the Filipino transfiguration of western decorative elements, with the figure of Saint Christopher on the pediment dressed in native clothes, carrying the Christ Child on his back, and holding on to a coconut palm for support. The entire riotously decorated facade is flanked by massive tapering bell towers of unequal heights.\n\n\n\nSan Agustin Church in Manila\nThe Church of the Immaculate Conception of San Agustín was the first church built on the island of Luzon in 1571, immediately after the Spanish conquest of Manila. A site within the district of Intramuros was assigned to the Augustinian Order, the first to evangelize in the Philippines. In 1587 the impermanent earliest building in wood and palm fronds was replaced by a stone church and monastery in stone, the latter becoming the Augustinian mother house in the Philippines. It was the only structure in Intramuros to survive the liberation of Manila in 1945. Miag-ao became an independent parish in 1731, when a simple church and convento were built. However, destruction of the town by Muslim pirates in 1741 and 1754 led to the town being rebuilt in a more secure location. The new church, constructed in 1787–97, was built as a fortress, to withstand further incursions. It was, however, damaged severely by fire during the revolution against Spain in 1898 and in the Second World War. Two bell towers were added in 1854, but the northern one cracked in the 1880 earthquake and had to be demolished. In the interior of the church the wall paintings date from the 19th century, but they overlie the original tempera murals. As a result, the church was richly endowed, with a fine retablo, pulpit, lectern and choir-stalls. Of special interest is the series of crypto-collateral chapels lining both sides of the nave. The walls separating them act as buttresses. The stone barrel vault, dome, and arched vestibule are all unique in the Philippines. A monastery complex was formerly linked to the church by a series of cloisters, arcades, courtyards and gardens, but all except one building were destroyed in 1945.\n\n\n\nCultural: (ii)(iv)\nHistoric Town of Vigan\nIlocos Sur\nEstablished in the 16th century, Vigan is the best-preserved example of a planned Spanish colonial town in Asia. Its architecture reflects the coming together of cultural elements from elsewhere in the Philippines, from China and from Europe, resulting in a culture and townscape that have no parallel anywhere in East and South-East Asia. Vigan is an exceptionally intact and well-preserved example of a European trading town in East and South-East Asia. The architecture is truly reflective of its roots in both materials and design, in its fusion of Asian building design and construction with European colonial architecture and planning. The town is located in the delta of the Abra River, off the coastal plain of the China Sea, close to the north-east tip of the island of Luzon. The present-day municipality divided into nine urban districts and thirty rural villages. Almost half the total area is still in use for agriculture. The Historic Core Zone is defined on two sides by the Govantes and Mestizo rivers.\n\n1999\n[2]\n\n\nNatural: (x)\nMount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary\nDavao Oriental\nForming a north-south running mountain ridge along the Pujada Peninsula in the southeastern part of the Eastern Mindanao Biodiversity Corridor, the Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary has an elevation range of 75–1,637 m above sea level, and provides critical habitat for a range of plant and animal species. The property showcases terrestrial and aquatic habitats and the species that they host at a series of different elevations are responding to highly dissimilar soil and climate conditions. The Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary provides a sanctuary to a host of globally threatened and endemic flora and fauna species, eight of which are found nowhere else except Mount Hamiguitan. These include critically endangered trees, plants and the iconic Philippine Eagle and Philippine Cockatoo.\n\n2014\n[3][4]\n\n\nNatural: (vii)(x)\nPuerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park\nPalawan\nThe site of the Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River National Park is located in the Saint Paul Mountain Range. It is north-west of Puerto Princesa, the capital of Palawan Province. The topography varies from flat plains to rolling hinterlands and hills to mountain peaks. Over 90% of the park comprises sharp, karst limestone ridges around Mount Saint Paul, which is itself part of a series of rounded, limestone peaks aligned on a north-south axis, along the western coast of Palawan. The focus of the area is a spectacular karst landscape which features both surface karst features (pinnacles, shafts, dolines and limestone cliffs), as well as an extensive underground river system. The subterranean river is 8.2 kilometres (5.1 mi) long, one of the most unusual of its type in the world and includes many speleotherms, several large chambers exist, up to 120 metres (390 ft) wide and 60 metres (200 ft) high. A distinguishing feature of the river is the fact that it emerges directly into the sea, and that the lower portion of the river is brackish and subject to tidal influences. The underground river (the Cabayugan River) arises approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) south-west of Mount Saint Paul at an altitude of 100 metres (330 ft), and flows underground for almost its entire length to an outflow into Saint Paul's Bay. All rivers and associated tributaries are within the park, which is important in relation to catchments impacts on the water quality of the Cabayugan River. It has been declared as one of the New7Wonders of Nature.\n\n1999\n[5]\n\n\nCultural: (iii)(iv)(v)\nRice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras: Batad Rice Terraces, Bangaan Rice Terraces (both in Banaue), Mayoyao Rice Terraces (in Mayoyao), Hungduan Rice Terraces (in Hungduan) and Nagacadan Rice Terraces (in Kiangan)\nIfugao\nFor 2,000 years, the high rice fields of the Ifugao have followed the contours of the mountains. The fruit of knowledge handed down from one generation to the next, and the expression of sacred traditions and a delicate social balance, they have helped to create a landscape of great beauty that expresses the harmony between humankind and the environment. The rice terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras are living cultural landscapes devoted to the production of one of the world's most important staple crops, rice. They preserve traditional techniques and forms dating back many centuries, still viable today. At the same time they illustrate a remarkable degree of harmony between humankind and the natural environment of great aesthetic appeal, as well as demonstrating sustainable farming systems in mountainous terrain, based on a careful use of natural resources. They are the only monuments in the Philippines that show no evidence of having been influenced by colonial cultures. Owing to the difficult terrain, the Cordillera tribes are among the few peoples of the Philippines who have successfully resisted foreign domination and preserved their authentic tribal culture. The history of the terraces is intertwined with that of its people, their culture, and their traditional practices.\n\n1995\n[6]\n\n\nNatural: (vii)(ix)(x)\nTubbataha Reefs Natural Park\nSulu Sea\nTubbataha Reefs Natural Park lies in a unique position in the centre of the Sulu Sea, and includes the Tubbataha and Jessie Beazley Reefs. It protects an area of almost 100,000 hectares (250,000 acres) of high quality marine habitats containing three atolls and a large area of deep sea. The property is home to a great diversity of marine life. Whales, dolphins, sharks, turtles and Napoleon wrasse are among the key species found here. The reef ecosystems support over 350 species of coral and almost 500 species of fish. The reserve also protects one of the few remaining colonies of breeding seabirds in the region.\n\n1993\n[7]\n\n", "\n\nType (criteria)\nSite\nLocation\nDescription\nImage\nYear\nRef\n\n\nCultural: (ii)(iv)\nBaroque Churches of the Philippines\nPaoay Church in Ilocos Norte\nThe Church of San Agustín at Paoay is the most outstanding example in the Philippines of 'Earthquake Baroque'.

The Historic Core Zone is defined on two sides by the Govantes and Mestizo rivers.\n\n1999\n[2]\n\n\nNatural: (x)\nMount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary\nDavao Oriental\nForming a north-south running mountain ridge along the Pujada Peninsula in the southeastern part of the Eastern Mindanao Biodiversity Corridor, the Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary has an elevation range of 75–1,637 m above sea level, and provides critical habitat for a range of plant and animal species. The property showcases terrestrial and aquatic habitats and the species that they host at a series of different elevations are responding to highly dissimilar soil and climate conditions. The Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary provides a sanctuary to a host of globally threatened and endemic flora and fauna species, eight of which are found nowhere else except Mount Hamiguitan. These include critically endangered trees, plants and the iconic Philippine Eagle and Philippine Cockatoo.\n\n2014\n[3][4]\n\n\nNatural: (vii)(x)\nPuerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park\nPalawan\nThe site of the Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River National Park is located in the Saint Paul Mountain Range. It is north-west of Puerto Princesa, the capital of Palawan Province. The topography varies from flat plains to rolling hinterlands and hills to mountain peaks. Over 90% of the park comprises sharp, karst limestone ridges around Mount Saint Paul, which is itself part of a series of rounded, limestone peaks aligned on a north-south axis, along the western coast of Palawan. The focus of the area is a spectacular karst landscape which features both surface karst features (pinnacles, shafts, dolines and limestone cliffs), as well as an extensive underground river system. The subterranean river is 8.2 kilometres (5.1 mi) long, one of the most unusual of its type in the world and includes many speleotherms, several large chambers exist, up to 120 metres (390 ft) wide and 60 metres (200 ft) high. A distinguishing feature of the river is the fact that it emerges directly into the sea, and that the lower portion of the river is brackish and subject to tidal influences. The underground river (the Cabayugan River) arises approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) south-west of Mount Saint Paul at an altitude of 100 metres (330 ft), and flows underground for almost its entire length to an outflow into Saint Paul's Bay. All rivers and associated tributaries are within the park, which is important in relation to catchments impacts on the water quality of the Cabayugan River. It has been declared as one of the New7Wonders of Nature.\n\n1999\n[5]\n\n\nCultural: (iii)(iv)(v)\nRice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras: Batad Rice Terraces, Bangaan Rice Terraces (both in Banaue), Mayoyao Rice Terraces (in Mayoyao), Hungduan Rice Terraces (in Hungduan) and Nagacadan Rice Terraces (in Kiangan)\nIfugao\nFor 2,000 years, the high rice fields of the Ifugao have followed the contours of the mountains. The fruit of knowledge handed down from one generation to the next, and the expression of sacred traditions and a delicate social balance, they have helped to create a landscape of great beauty that expresses the harmony between humankind and the environment. The rice terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras are living cultural landscapes devoted to the production of one of the world's most important staple crops, rice. They preserve traditional techniques and forms dating back many centuries, still viable today. At the same time they illustrate a remarkable degree of harmony between humankind and the natural environment of great aesthetic appeal, as well as demonstrating sustainable farming systems in mountainous terrain, based on a careful use of natural resources. They are the only monuments in the Philippines that show no evidence of having been influenced by colonial cultures. Owing to the difficult terrain, the Cordillera tribes are among the few peoples of the Philippines who have successfully resisted foreign domination and preserved their authentic tribal culture. The history of the terraces is intertwined with that of its people, their culture, and their traditional practices.\n\n1995\n[6]\n\n\nNatural: (vii)(ix)(x)\nTubbataha Reefs Natural Park\nSulu Sea\nTubbataha Reefs Natural Park lies in a unique position in the centre of the Sulu Sea, and includes the Tubbataha and Jessie Beazley Reefs. It protects an area of almost 100,000 hectares (250,000 acres) of high quality marine habitats containing three atolls and a large area of deep sea. The property is home to a great diversity of marine life. Whales, dolphins, sharks, turtles and Napoleon wrasse are among the key species found here. The reef ecosystems support over 350 species of coral and almost 500 species of fish. The reserve also protects one of the few remaining colonies of breeding seabirds in the region.\n\n1993\n[7]\n\n", "\n\nType (criteria)\nSite\nLocation\nDescription\nImage\nYear\nRef\n\n\nCultural: (ii)(iv)\nBaroque Churches of the Philippines\nPaoay Church in Ilocos Norte\nThe Church of San Agustín at Paoay is the most outstanding example in the Philippines of 'Earthquake Baroque'. Fourteen buttresses are ranged along the lines of a giant volute supporting a smaller one and surmounted by pyramidal finials. A pair of buttresses at the midpoint of each nave wall have stairways for access to the roof. The lower part of the apse and most of the walls are constructed of coral stone blocks, the upper levels being finished in brick, but this order is reversed on the facade. The massive coral stone bell tower, which was added half a century after the church was completed, stands at some distance from the church, again as a protection against damage during earthquakes.\n\n1993\n[1]\n\n\nSanta Maria Church in Ilocos Sur\nUnlike other town churches in the Philippines, which conform to the Spanish tradition of sitting them on the central plaza, the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asuncion in Santa Maria with its convento are on a hill surrounded by a defensive wall. Also unusual are the sitting of the convento parallel to the facade of the church and that of the separate bell tower (characteristic of Philippine-Hispanic architecture) at the midpoint of the nave wall. This was dictated by the hill on which it is located. The brick church follows the standard Philippine layout, with a monumental facade masking a straight roof-line covering a long rectangular building. It is alleged to be built on a solid raft as a precaution against earthquake damage. The walls are devoid of ornament but have delicately carved side entrances and strong buttresses.\n\n\n\nMiagao Church in Iloilo\nThe Church of Santo Tomas de Villanueva stands on the highest point of Miagao, its towers serving as lookouts against Muslim raids. It is the finest surviving example of 'Fortress Baroque'. The sumptuous facade epitomizes the Filipino transfiguration of western decorative elements, with the figure of Saint Christopher on the pediment dressed in native clothes, carrying the Christ Child on his back, and holding on to a coconut palm for support. The entire riotously decorated facade is flanked by massive tapering bell towers of unequal heights.\n\n\n\nSan Agustin Church in Manila\nThe Church of the Immaculate Conception of San Agustín was the first church built on the island of Luzon in 1571, immediately after the Spanish conquest of Manila. A site within the district of Intramuros was assigned to the Augustinian Order, the first to evangelize in the Philippines. In 1587 the impermanent earliest building in wood and palm fronds was replaced by a stone church and monastery in stone, the latter becoming the Augustinian mother house in the Philippines. It was the only structure in Intramuros to survive the liberation of Manila in 1945. Miag-ao became an independent parish in 1731, when a simple church and convento were built. However, destruction of the town by Muslim pirates in 1741 and 1754 led to the town being rebuilt in a more secure location. The new church, constructed in 1787–97, was built as a fortress, to withstand further incursions. It was, however, damaged severely by fire during the revolution against Spain in 1898 and in the Second World War. Two bell towers were added in 1854, but the northern one cracked in the 1880 earthquake and had to be demolished. In the interior of the church the wall paintings date from the 19th century, but they overlie the original tempera murals. As a result, the church was richly endowed, with a fine retablo, pulpit, lectern and choir-stalls. Of special interest is the series of crypto-collateral chapels lining both sides of the nave. The walls separating them act as buttresses. The stone barrel vault, dome, and arched vestibule are all unique in the Philippines. A monastery complex was formerly linked to the church by a series of cloisters, arcades, courtyards and gardens, but all except one building were destroyed in 1945.\n\n\n\nCultural: (ii)(iv)\nHistoric Town of Vigan\nIlocos Sur\nEstablished in the 16th century, Vigan is the best-preserved example of a planned Spanish colonial town in Asia. Its architecture reflects the coming together of cultural elements from elsewhere in the Philippines, from China and from Europe, resulting in a culture and townscape that have no parallel anywhere in East and South-East Asia. Vigan is an exceptionally intact and well-preserved example of a European trading town in East and South-East Asia. The architecture is truly reflective of its roots in both materials and design, in its fusion of Asian building design and construction with European colonial architecture and planning. The town is located in the delta of the Abra River, off the coastal plain of the China Sea, close to the north-east tip of the island of Luzon. The present-day municipality divided into nine urban districts and thirty rural villages. Almost half the total area is still in use for agriculture.

Mining in North Korea
Mining in North Korea - wikipedia Mining in North Korea Jump to : navigation , search Mining in North Korea is important to the country 's economy . North Korea is naturally abundant in metals such as magnesite , zinc , tungsten , and iron ; with magnesite resources of 6 billion tonnes ( second largest in the world ) , particularly in the Hamgyeong - do and Jagang - do provinces . However , often these can not be mined due to the acute shortage of electricity in the country , as well as the lack of proper tools to mine these materials and an antiquated industrial base . Coal , iron ore , limestone , and magnesite deposits are larger than other mineral commodities . Mining joint ventures with other countries include China , Canada , Egypt , and South Korea . Contents ( hide ) 1 Resource base 2 Metal mining 2.1 Zinc mining 3 Gold mining 4 Copper mining 4.1 Iron ore mining 5 Graphite mining 6 Magnesite mines 7 Nonferrous metal mining 8 Coal mining 9 See also 10 References Resource base ( edit ) North Korea has reserves of more than 200 mineral types distributed over 80 % of its territory with ten reserves recording large deposits of magnetite , tungsten ore , graphite , gold ore , and molybdenum . Among the largest resources with more than 2 million tons of estimated reserve are : Zinc which tops the list with 21 million tons of estimated resource ; followed by non-metallic resource of 21 million tons of limestone and magnesite 6 million tons ; and other mineral sources such as iron 5 million tons , anthracite 5 million tons , copper 3 million tons , barite 2 million tons , gold and graphite also 2 million tons each . The Mineral Industry in the country is structured under three broad sectors namely , coal mining , ferrous and nonferrous metals mining , and processing sector and industrial minerals mining and processing sector . All these sectors are owned by the central government and it is also reported that the mineral industry supports the country 's military budget . Metal mining ( edit ) North Korea is thought to have tremendous potential metal resources ( and particularly rare - earth metals ) , which have been valued in excess of US $6 trillion by the South Korean national mining company . There is much investment from Chinese mining companies , with an estimated $500 million investment in the last 11 years . 41 % of all Chinese companies trading in North Korea are involved in mining . Zinc mining ( edit ) The Korea General Zinc Industry Group is a North Korean mining and industrial group headquartered in Pyongyang . The organization produces zinc , lead , base bullion , lead concentrates , zinc concentrates , cadmium , arsenic , zinc residues and copper concentrate for export and domestic use . The Geomdeok Mine , located in Geumgol - dong , Dancheon - si , Hamgyeongnam - do , has been in operation since 1932 and is the largest zinc mine in East Asia . It has seven mine blocks extracted through 10 mines . It has annual capacity to handle 10 million tons of zinc ore . Conventional flotation methods are adopted to extract lead and zinc concentrates . Other products from the mine are sphalerite , chalcopyrite , and galena . Gold mining ( edit ) In gold alone the nation is estimated to hold around 2,000 metric tonnes of reserves , which at a gold value of $1,200 / ounce , would give a total worth of $84.6 billion . Other available resources include iron , with 5 billion tonnes of 50 % iron - content ore in reserve , nickel , with 36,000 tonnes of the pure metal , and zinc metal , with around 21,100,000 tonnes . The Daebong Mine , located on the border of Gapsan and Woonheung in Yanggang Province , produced more than 150 kilograms ( kg ) ( 4,823 troy ounces ) of gold annually . Further improvements are proposed in this mine with Chinese investment under a package of offer of mineral rights in exchange for capital investment in the mine . The Sangnong Mine , in the Dancheon district of Hamgyeongnam - do has been in operation since 1956 and is an underground mine . The mine also extracts pyrite , chalcopyrite , magnesite , native gold , and native silver . In 2008 , the annual production was reported as 290,000 tons of concentrate at a grade of 30g / t . To process the low - grade concentrate of the Sangnong Mine , the Dongdae Custom Mill Plant ( located in Dancheon city ) has been established . This plant has processed twenty million tons of tailings and the waste piled up in the yard of the plant has still a gold pf grade of 1.44 g / t . The Holdong Mine in the Holdong labor district in Yeonsan - gun , Hwanghaebuk - doce has been in operation since 1893 . Gold and other ores are found in a strike of 1,200 metres ( 3,900 ft ) strip . The plant has capacity for annual handling of 2 tonnes of gold , 2.5 tonnes of silver , and 80,000 tonnes of copper concentrate . In 1991 , the mine recorded a production of 0.85 tonnes of gold , 1.674 tonnes of silver , and 893 tonnes of copper concentrate . Copper mining ( edit ) The DPRK is estimated to hold a total amount of 2.1 million metric tonnes of copper metal . The Korea Mining Development Trading Corporation ( KOMID ) was involved in a joint - development project with a Chinese firm in the development of a copper mine in Hyesan . However , KOMID was blacklisted by the United Nations in 2009 subsequent to North Korea 's April 5 rocket launch . This resulted in a halting of facility construction at Hyesan . The Hyesan copper mine , located Yanggang Province would be operated by the Hyesan - China Joint Venture Mineral Co . The Hyesan Mine , located in Masan - dong , Hyesan - si , and Ryanggang - do , has been in operation since 1970 and is the largest copper mine in the country . It was flooded and hence closed from 1994 to 2009 and has been partially reopened , after bailing out water , since 2010 . Other products from the mine are chalcocite , chalcopyrite , galena , and sphalerite . The plant has a capacity to handle 1,200,000 tons of copper ore annually . According to a 1993 report , the mine produced about 90,000 tons of concentrate of 16 % grade of copper . Iron ore mining ( edit ) Musan Mine , located at Musan - gun , in the Changryeol labor districts and Hamgyeongbuk - do , is being operated by Mitsubishi Mining Company of Japan since 1935 . The ore is found a strike stip of 1200 m and is operated through nine blocks and extraction is by open pit method . Its iron ore handling capacity is 10 million tons per year . The annual production is reported to be 2 million tons of iron concentrate of 65 % grade . After processing at the Gimchaek Steel Mill , iron is exported to China . The Oryong Mine , located in Ryongcheon - ri , Hyeryeong City , in Hamgyeongbuk - do , has been in operation since 2007 . Iron ore is embedded in granite formations as magnetite , hematite , and ilmenite in the Musan group and Liwon - am group of rocks , and the ore extracted in directly transported to China without milling . The ore exported in 2007 was of the order of 3,000 tons . Graphite mining ( edit ) Jeongchon Mine is a graphite mine located in Jeongchon - gun , Hamgyeongnam - do and the ore is found in strike length of 700m . Mining operation was started here in 2006 . It is an inter-Korean project with South Korea getting a share of 50 % of the extracted graphite . Magnesite mines ( edit ) Magnesite in the Tanchon area , a very large resource , has been under extraction since 1980 from the Taehung Youth Hero Mine and the Yongyang Mine , and the former mine is reported to be operating to its full capacity . Daeheung Mine , located in Daeheung - dong , Dancheon - si , and Hamgyeongnamdo comprising four mine blocks has been in operation since 1982 . It is reported to be the largest magnesite mine in the world . Magnesite ore is found in a strike of 1600 m and has been extracted since 1982 . Both open pit and underground mining are done in these mine blocks and there is a total capacity to extract magnesite ore of 600,000 tons per year . In 2006 the production reported was 230,000 tons of magnesite of grade of up to 46.5 percent of MgO . Nonferrous metal mining ( edit ) In 2005 , it was reported that Kimduk Combined Mining Enterprise was the country 's largest nonferrous metal mine . Coal mining ( edit ) In addition to its metal resources , North Korea is also abundant in coal and limestone ( with 100 billion metric tonnes ) , valued at some US $9.7 trillion . In particular the purest form of coal , anthracite , is especially abundant , with reserves of over 4.5 billion tonnes , which at $143 / tonne would be worth $644.8 billion . Jikdong coal mine is an anthracite coal mine located in Jikdong , Suncheon - si , Pyongannam - do where an underground mining operation started in 1997 . It has capacity to handle 1 million tons of coal per year . The coal is transported by trucks directly to run the Dongpyeongyang Thermal power plant . Gogeonwon Mine is also an anthracite coal mine located in the Gogeonwon labor district , Kyeongwongun , Hamgyeongbuk - do and has been in operation as an underground mine since 1920 . It has a capacity of 1 million tons per year and the coal mined is sent by trucks to run the Cheongjin Thermal Power Plant and the Seongjin Steel Company . In 2013 , North Korea surpassed Vietnam to become the global top exporter of anthracite , generating $1.4 billion in revenue for the DPRK ( 10 % of the country 's GDP ) . Another estimate puts the nation 's 2015 coal exports at 19.7 million tonnes , worth $1.1 billion . The regime relies on these profits to procure much of what it needs the most .

what are some natural resources in north korea
[ "Mining in North Korea is important to the country's economy. North Korea is naturally abundant in metals such as magnesite, zinc, tungsten, and iron; with magnesite resources of 6 billion tonnes (second largest in the world), particularly in the Hamgyeong-do and Jagang-do provinces. However, often these cannot be mined due to the acute shortage of electricity in the country, as well as the lack of proper tools to mine these materials and an antiquated industrial base.[1] Coal, iron ore, limestone, and magnesite deposits are larger than other mineral commodities. Mining joint ventures with other countries include China, Canada, Egypt, and South Korea.[citation needed]", "Mining in North Korea is important to the country's economy.

Jones Bill Withers singles chronology `` Ai n't No Sunshine '' ( 1971 ) `` Grandma 's Hands '' ( 1971 ) `` Ai n't No Sunshine '' is a song by Bill Withers from his 1971 album Just As I Am , produced by Booker T. Jones . The record featured musicians Donald `` Duck '' Dunn on bass guitar , Al Jackson , Jr. on drums and Stephen Stills on guitar . String arrangements were done by Booker T.

He explained , in reference to the characters played by Lee Remick and Jack Lemmon , `` They were both alcoholics who were alternately weak and strong . It 's like going back for seconds on rat poison . Sometimes you miss things that were n't particularly good for you . It 's just something that crossed my mind from watching that movie , and probably something else that happened in my life that I 'm not aware of . '' For the song 's third verse , Withers had intended to write more lyrics instead of repeating the phrase `` I know '' 26 times , but then followed the advice of the other musicians to leave it that way : `` I was this factory worker puttering around , '' Withers said . `` So when they said to leave it like that , I left it . '' Withers , then thirty - one years old , was working at a factory making toilet seats for 747s at the time he wrote the song . On the American Top 40 program of November 6 , 1976 , Casey Kasem reported that when the song went gold , the record company presented Withers with a golden toilet , marking the start of his new career . `` Ai n't No Sunshine '' was the first of Withers ' three gold records in the U.S. The song was originally released as the B - side to another song called `` Harlem '' . Disc jockeys played `` Ai n't No Sunshine '' as the single instead , and it became a huge hit , the first for Withers . `` Harlem '' was subsequently covered by The 5th Dimension , which was featured on their Soul and Inspiration album and released as a single . Withers performed the song on The Old Grey Whistle Test . `` Ai n't No Sunshine '' is ranked 285th on Rolling Stone 's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time . The song won the Grammy for Best R&B Song in 1972 .

Since then , Caesar and his tribe of intelligent apes have been forced against a rogue U.S. military faction known as Alpha - Omega . Led by a ruthless Colonel , Alpha - Omega employs many apes formerly loyal to Koba , derogatorily called `` donkeys '' . An Alpha - Omega platoon launches an attack on an ape outpost , but it fails and four soldiers , including one named Preacher and a `` donkey '' gorilla named Red , are captured . Caesar releases the soldiers , hoping the display of mercy will show the Colonel that the apes are not savages ; Red escapes by injuring the albino gorilla Winter . Later , Caesar 's eldest son Blue Eyes and lieutenant Rocket return from a long journey . Blue Eyes reports that they found a place across the desert that is ideal for the apes . Despite an uneasy Winter asserting that the apes should leave immediately , Caesar decides they need to prepare first . That night , the Colonel leads a team of soldiers in infiltrating the apes ' home , where he kills Blue Eyes and Caesar 's wife Cornelia . Upon discovering this , Caesar attempts to prevent the Colonel 's escape but fails . Afterward , the apes are unable to find Winter , who they believe betrayed them out of fear . In the morning , the tribe gathers to journey to safety . Leaving his youngest son , Cornelius , in the care of Blue Eyes ' wife Lake , Caesar departs to exact revenge while serving as the decoy for the other apes . Accompanied by Rocket , his orangutan adviser Maurice , and his gorilla lieutenant Luca , the apes enter an abandoned village , where they kill a deserted soldier in self - defense . They then discover a mute girl , who Maurice befriends and adopts , giving her a small rag doll . They then find Winter at a beachside military camp , having become a `` donkey '' . They confront Winter , who tells Caesar that the Colonel departed for the border , to meet more soldiers . Winter then attempts to call out for help , but the other apes restrain him , and Caesar accidentally suffocates him . While following the military , the apes discover soldiers who have been shot and left for dead . Their examination of a surviving soldier reveals that he is mute like the girl . Caesar then kills him in an act of mercy . Later , the apes give chase after a hooded figure who stole one of their horses and are surprised to discover he is an intelligent ape from another zoo , named Bad Ape . While camping with Bad Ape , they discover that he knows where the border is and he hesitantly agrees to lead them there . The group reaches the border , where they see a quarantine facility . While attempting to get a closer look , Luca is killed protecting Caesar from some soldiers . An angered Caesar decides to proceed alone rather than continue to endanger his allies . While there , however , Caesar learns that Alpha - Omega captured his tribe and are forcing them to build a wall without food or water . Caesar is then captured by Red , who brings him to the Colonel . He is forced to work with the other apes , and when he inspires them to stop working , the Colonel threatens to kill Caesar to get the apes to continue . Caesar deduces that the Colonel is barricading the facility to fend off other military forces who are against him for killing his own soldiers . The Colonel informs Caesar that the Simian Flu virus had mutated , and the human carriers subsequently became mute and devolved into a primitive state . He then has Caesar tortured with starvation to force the other apes to work . The mute girl , named Nova by Maurice , sneaks into the facility to give Caesar food , water , and her rag doll . To prevent her from being discovered , Rocket allows himself to be captured as a diversion . The next day , the Colonel comes to see if Caesar is still alive , and confiscates the doll upon discovering it . Together , Caesar and Rocket are able to work out a means of escape via an underground tunnel leading out of the facility . Though the plan is successful , Caesar remains behind to confront the Colonel as the facility comes under attack by the army of dissenting soldiers . However , he finds the Colonel infected by the virus via contact with Nova 's doll . Caesar chooses not to kill the Colonel , instead watching him commit suicide . The escaping apes are caught in the crossfire between the two armies while Red watches uncertainly . Caesar attempts to blow up a large fuel tank to take out the Alpha - Omega forces from behind , but he is shot with a crossbow by Preacher . Red then uses a grenade launcher to kill Preacher and save Caesar 's life before he is shot dead by a soldier . Caesar succeeds in blowing up the tank and escapes the facility as it is consumed in a cascade of explosions , which then triggers an avalanche that wipes out the dissenting soldiers . The apes , carrying Nova , all survive by climbing nearby trees . They then cross the desert to find an oasis . While the other apes celebrate their new home , Maurice discovers Caesar 's fatal wound . He promises to tell Cornelius who his father was and what he did for the apes . Caesar then dies peacefully while Maurice mourns his death and the other apes look on . Cast ( edit ) Apes ( edit ) Andy Serkis as Caesar , an intelligent common chimpanzee who is leader to a tribe of genetically enhanced apes .

Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) Matt Reeves , Andy Serkis and Dylan Clark at New York Comic - Con 2016 for the War for the Planet of the Apes panel After seeing his cut of Dawn , 20th Century Fox and Chernin Entertainment signed Matt Reeves to return as director for a third installment of the reboot series . In January 2014 , the studio announced the third film , with Reeves returning to direct and co-write along with Bomback , and Peter Chernin , Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver serving as producers . During an interview in mid-November 2014 with MTV , Andy Serkis said they did not know the next film 's setting . `` ... It could be five years after the event . It could be the night after the events of where we left ' Dawn . ' '' In May 2015 , the title was first given as War of the Planet of the Apes . By October 2015 , it had been retitled as War for the Planet of the Apes . When director Reeves and screenwriter Bomback came on board to helm Dawn , the film already had a release date , which led to an accelerated production schedule . However , with the third installment , Fox wanted to give the duo plenty of time to write and make the film . Taking advantage of this , the two bonded with each other more than before . In interviews for Dawn , Reeves talked about the inevitable war Caesar would have with the humans : `` As this story continues , we know that war is not avoided by the end of Dawn . That is going to take us into the world of what he is grappling with . Where he is going to be thrust into circumstances that he never , ever wanted to deal with , and was hoping he could avoid . And now he is right in the middle of it . The things that happen in that story test him in huge ways , in the ways in which his relationship with Koba haunts him deeply . It 's going to be an epic story . I think you 've probably read that I sort of described it where in the first film was very much about his rise from humble beginnings to being a revolutionary . The second movie was about having to rise to the challenge of being a great leader in the most difficult of times . This is going to be the story that is going to cement his status as a seminal figure in ape history , and sort of leads to an almost biblical status . He is going to become like a mythic ape figure , like Moses . '' Toby Kebbell , who portrayed Koba in Dawn , had expressed interest in reprising his role or performing as other characters . Plans to include Koba in a larger role in the film were abandoned early , with Bomback saying , `` If you stayed until the very end of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes , you hear Koba 's breathing . We did that to give us a tiny crack of a possibility that we could revive Koba if we wanted to . Very early on in spitballing , we realized there was nothing more to do with Koba -- certainly nothing that would exceed what he had done in the last story . But we knew we wanted to keep him alive as an idea . In playing out the reality of what happened at the end of the last film , Caesar would be traumatized by having to kill his brother . That would have resonance , and we wanted to make sure that did not get lost . So the answer was that we could go inside Caesar 's mind at this point and revisit Koba that way . '' Casting ( edit ) In August 2015 , Deadline reported that Gabriel Chavarria had been cast as one of the humans in the film . In September 2015 , The Hollywood Reporter announced that Woody Harrelson had been cast as the film 's antagonist , and that Chavarria 's role was supporting . In October 2015 , TheWrap reported that Steve Zahn was cast as a new ape in the film . It was also announced that actress Amiah Miller was cast as one of the film 's humans , with Judy Greer and Karin Konoval reprising their roles as Cornelia and Maurice , while Aleks Paunovic and Sara Canning were cast as new apes . Filming ( edit ) Principal photography on the film began on October 14 , 2015 in the Lower Mainland in Vancouver , under the working title Hidden Fortress . Filming was expected to take place there until early March 2016 . Parts of the film were expected to shoot for up to five days in the Kananaskis in late January and early February . In March , Serkis confirmed that he had finished shooting his portions . Visual effects ( edit ) As with Rise and Dawn , the visual effects for War were created by Weta Digital ; the apes were created with a mixture of motion - capture and CGI key - frame animation , as they were performed in motion - capture technology and animated in CGI . Influences ( edit ) At New York Comic - Con 2016 , Reeves explained that he and Bomback were influenced by many films before writing . He said , `` One of the first things that Mark and I did because we had just finished Dawn was that we decided to watch a million movies . We decided to do what people fantasize what Hollywood screenwriters get to do but no one actually does . We got Fox to give us a theater and we watched movie after movie . We watched every Planet of the Apes movie , war movies , westerns , Empire Strikes Back ... We just thought , ' We have to pretend we have all the time in the world , ' even though we had limited time . We got really inspired . '' Additionally , during production , Reeves and Bomback sought broader inspirations from films like The Bridge on the River Kwai and The Great Escape . Feeling that there was a need to imbue Biblical themes and elements , they also watched Biblical epics like Ben - Hur and The Ten Commandments . The influences and inspirations were made evident in the relationship between Caesar and Woody Harrelson 's Colonel , a military leader with pretensions toward godhood . Reeves has compared their relationship to the dynamic between Alec Guinness 's British Commander and Sessue Hayakawa 's prison camp Colonel in Bridge on the River Kwai . Another comparison is in Caesar 's journey to find the Colonel , flanked by a posse of close friends -- a situation Reeves explicitly tied to Clint Eastwood 's war - weary soldier in The Outlaw Josey Wales . Influences from the film Apocalypse Now , notably Harrelson 's character and his Alpha - Omega faction being similar to Colonel Kurtz 's renegade army , were also noted by several journalists . Harrelson has also acknowledged the similarities and inspiration .

Marketing ( edit ) Special behind - the - scenes footage for the film was aired on TV on November 22 , 2015 , as part of a contest announcement presented by director Matt Reeves and Andy Serkis . The footage aired during The Walking Dead on AMC . The announcement allowed winners to wear a performance - capture suit and appear in a scene as an ape . The announcement was released on 20th Century Fox 's official YouTube page later the same day . At a New York Comic Con special event on October 6 , Reeves , Serkis and producer Dylan Clark debuted an exclusive look at the film . Serkis has also mentioned that the film would be accompanied by a video game , for which he performed motion capture . Titled Planet of the Apes : Last Frontier , the game was released for the PlayStation 4 , Xbox One and PC in fall 2017 . Home Media ( edit ) War for the Planet of the Apes was released on Digital HD on October 10 , 2017 , and on Blu - ray and DVD on October 24 , 2017 by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) War for the Planet of the Apes grossed $146.9 million in the United States and Canada and $343.8 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $490.7 million , against a production budget of $150 million . In North America , the film was projected to gross $50 -- 60 million in its opening weekend , however , given its acclaimed status and strong word - of - mouth , rival studios believed the film had the potential to debut as high as $70 -- 80 million . War was closely monitored by analysts while the summer was witnessing a decline in ticket sales , a situation that they blamed on franchise fatigue for an overabundance of sequels and reboots ( such as Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Men Tell No Tales , Transformers : The Last Knight and The Mummy ) . However , box office analysts noted that well - reviewed films have tended to perform in - line with estimates ( Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 , Wonder Woman and Spider - Man : Homecoming ) . The film grossed $5 million from Thursday night previews at 3,021 theaters , up 22 % from the $4.1 million earned by its predecessor , and $22.1 million on its first day . It went on to debut to $56.3 million , topping the box office , albeit with a 22 % drop from Dawn 's $72.6 million debut . In its second weekend , the film grossed $20.9 million ( a drop of 62.9 % , more than the 50.4 % fall Dawn saw ) , finishing 4th at the box office . In its third weekend , the film made $10.5 million ( dropping another 49.9 % ) , finishing 6th at the box office . It was lower than the third weeks of both Rise ( $16.1 million ) and Dawn ( $16.8 million ) . Outside North America , War for the Planet of the Apes received a scattered release in a span of three months ( July -- September ) . The film began its release in about a third of the marketplace on July 14 , albeit only in two major markets , and was projected to have an opening of $50 -- 60 million , with the potential to go higher if smaller Asian markets over-perform , as they have for recent tent poles . The film ended up having an international debut of $44.2 million , including $9.27 million in the United Kingdom . Critical response ( edit ) War for the Planet of the Apes received praise for the cast 's performances ( particularly Serkis ) , Reeves 's direction , visual effects , musical score , cinematography and its morally complex storyline . On review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 93 % based on 296 reviews , with a rating average of 8.1 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` War for the Planet of the Apes combines breathtaking special effects and a powerful , poignant narrative to conclude this rebooted trilogy on a powerful -- and truly blockbuster -- note . '' On review aggregator Metacritic , which assigns a weighted average rating to reviews , the film has a score of 82 out of 100 , based on 50 critics , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A -- '' on an A+ to F scale , the same score earned by its two immediate predecessors . Scott Collura of IGN awarded the film a score of 9.5 out of 10 , saying : `` War for the Planet of the Apes is an excellent closing act to this rebooted trilogy , but also one that does enough world - building that the series can potentially continue from here -- and it 's a rare case where , after three movies , we 're left wanting more . '' A.O. Scott of The New York Times said of the film , `` `` War for the Planet of the Apes , '' directed by Matt Reeves , is the grimmest episode so far , and also the strongest , a superb example -- rare in this era of sloppily constructed , commercially hedged cinematic universes -- of clear thinking wedded to inventive technique in popular filmmaking , '' and lauded Andy Serkis 's performance in the film , stating that `` Andy Serkis 's performance as Caesar is one of the marvels of modern screen acting . '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars , and said that Serkis performed `` with a resonant power and depth of feeling that 's nearly Shakespearean . Oscar , get busy : Serkis deserves the gold , '' and went on to say that `` War for the Planet of the Apes -- No. 9 in the simian cinema canon -- is the best of the Apes films since the 1968 original . '' Eric Kohn of Indiewire gave the film a B+ rating , and praised Matt Reeves 's directing , saying `` It 's a given that an expensive 21st century sci - fi movie with talking animals , exploding tanks , and jarring machine guns would look and sound great , but Reeves applies these effects with such a measured strategy that they 're always working in service of a greater narrative agenda . '' Kohn went on to applaud the visuals and musical score , stating that `` The breathlessly paced montage of flying bullets and angry monkeys raining down on terrified men , aided by Michael Giacchino 's vibrant score , is a strong indicator of the next - level craftsmanship that distinguishes these movies from so many cacophonous Hollywood spectacles ; not only is the action easy to follow , but you care for the motion - captured characters at the center of it , while the humans cower in fear .

Fusion power
Fusion power - wikipedia Fusion power The Joint European Torus ( JET ) magnetic fusion experiment in 1991 Fusion power is a theoretical form of power generation in which energy will be generated by using nuclear fusion reactions to produce heat for electricity generation . In a fusion process , two lighter atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus , and at the same time , they release energy . This is the same process that powers stars like our Sun . Devices designed to harness this energy are known as fusion reactors . Fusion processes require fuel and a highly confined environment with a high temperature and pressure , to create a plasma in which fusion can occur . In stars , the most common fuel is hydrogen , and gravity creates the high temperature and confinement needed for fusion . Fusion reactors generally use hydrogen isotopes such as deuterium and tritium , which react more easily , and create a confined plasma of millions of degrees using inertial methods ( laser ) or magnetic methods ( tokamak and similar ) , although many other concepts have been attempted . The major challenges in realising fusion power are to engineer a system that can confine the plasma long enough at high enough temperature and density , for a long term reaction to occur , and for the most common reactions , managing neutrons that are released during the reaction , which over time can degrade many common materials used within the reaction chamber . As a source of power , nuclear fusion is expected to have several theoretical advantages over fission . These include reduced radioactivity in operation and little nuclear waste , ample fuel supplies , and increased safety . However , controlled fusion has proven to be extremely difficult to produce in a practical and economical manner . Research into fusion reactors began in the 1940s , but to date , no design has produced more fusion power output than the electrical power input ; therefore , all existing designs have had a negative power balance . Over the years , fusion researchers have investigated various confinement concepts . The early emphasis was on three main systems : z - pinch , stellarator and magnetic mirror . The current leading designs are the tokamak and inertial confinement ( ICF ) by laser . Both designs are being built at very large scales , most notably the ITER tokamak in France , and the National Ignition Facility laser in the United States . Researchers are also studying other designs that may offer cheaper approaches . Among these alternatives there is increasing interest in magnetized target fusion and inertial electrostatic confinement .

Binding energy for different atomic nuclei . Iron - 56 has the highest , making it the most stable . Nuclei to the left are likely to fuse ; those to the right are likely to split . Mechanism ( edit ) Fusion reactions occur when two or more atomic nuclei come close enough for long enough that the nuclear force pulling them together exceeds the electrostatic force pushing them apart , fusing them into heavier nuclei . For nuclei lighter than iron - 56 , the reaction is exothermic , releasing energy . For nuclei heavier than iron - 56 , the reaction is endothermic , requiring an external source of energy . Hence , nuclei smaller than iron - 56 are more likely to fuse while those heavier than iron - 56 are more likely to break apart . The strong force acts only over short distances . The repulsive electrostatic force acts over longer distances . In order to undergo fusion , the fuel atoms need to be given enough energy to approach each other close enough for the strong force to become active . The amount of kinetic energy needed to bring the fuel atoms close enough is known as the `` Coulomb barrier '' . Ways of providing this energy include speeding up atoms in a particle accelerator , or heating them to high temperatures . Once an atom is heated above its ionization energy , its electrons are stripped away ( it is ionized ) , leaving just the bare nucleus ( the ion ) . The result is a hot cloud of ions and the electrons formerly attached to them . This cloud is known as plasma . Because the charges are separated , plasmas are electrically conductive and magnetically controllable . Many fusion devices take advantage of this to control the particles as they are heated . Cross section ( edit ) The fusion reaction rate increases rapidly with temperature until it maximizes and then gradually drops off . The deuterium - tritium fusion rate peaks at a lower temperature ( about 70 keV , or 800 million kelvin ) and at a higher value than other reactions commonly considered for fusion energy . A reaction 's cross section , denoted σ , is the measure of the probability that a fusion reaction will happen . This depends on the relative velocity of the two nuclei . Higher relative velocities generally increase the probability , but the probability begins to decrease again at very high energies . Cross sections for many fusion reactions were measured ( mainly in the 1970s ) using particle beams . In a plasma , particle velocity can be characterized using a probability distribution . If the plasma is thermalized , the distribution looks like a bell curve , or maxwellian distribution . In this case , it is useful to use the average particle cross section over the velocity distribution . This is entered into the volumetric fusion rate : P fusion = n A n B ⟨ σ v A , B ⟩ E fusion ( \ displaystyle P_ ( \ text ( fusion ) ) = n_ ( A ) n_ ( B ) \ langle \ sigma v_ ( A , B ) \ rangle E_ ( \ text ( fusion ) ) ) where : P fusion ( \ displaystyle P_ ( \ text ( fusion ) ) ) is the energy made by fusion , per time and volume n is the number density of species A or B , of the particles in the volume ⟨ σ v A , B ⟩ ( \ displaystyle \ langle \ sigma v_ ( A , B ) \ rangle ) is the cross section of that reaction , average over all the velocities of the two species v E fusion ( \ displaystyle E_ ( \ text ( fusion ) ) ) is the energy released by that fusion reaction . Lawson criterion ( edit ) The Lawson Criterion shows how energy output varies with temperature , density , speed of collision , and fuel . This equation was central to John Lawson 's analysis of fusion working with a hot plasma . Lawson assumed an energy balance , shown below . P out = η capture ( P fusion − P conduction − P radiation ) ( \ displaystyle P_ ( \ text ( out ) ) = \ eta _ ( \ text ( capture ) ) \ left ( P_ ( \ text ( fusion ) ) - P_ ( \ text ( conduction ) ) - P_ ( \ text ( radiation ) ) \ right ) ) η , efficiency P conduction ( \ displaystyle P_ ( \ text ( conduction ) ) ) , conduction losses as energy laden mass leaves P radiation ( \ displaystyle P_ ( \ text ( radiation ) ) ) , radiation losses as energy leaves as light P out ( \ displaystyle P_ ( \ text ( out ) ) ) , net power from fusion P fusion ( \ displaystyle P_ ( \ text ( fusion ) ) ) , is rate of energy generated by the fusion reactions . Plasma clouds lose energy through conduction and radiation . Conduction occurs when ions , electrons or neutrals impact other substances , typically a surface of the device , and transfer a portion of their kinetic energy to the other atoms . Radiation is energy that leaves the cloud as light in the visible , UV , IR , or X-ray spectra . Radiation increases with temperature . Fusion power technologies must overcome these losses . Triple product : density , temperature , time ( edit ) The Lawson criterion argues that a machine holding a thermalized and quasi-neutral plasma has to meet basic criteria to overcome radiation losses , conduction losses and reach efficiency of 30 percent . This became known as the `` triple product '' : the plasma density , temperature and confinement time . Attempts to increase the triple product led to targeting larger plants . Larger plants move structural materials further away from the centre of the plasma , which reduces conduction and radiation losses since more of the radiation is internally reflected . This emphasis on ( n T τ ) ( \ displaystyle ( nT \ tau ) ) as a metric of success has impacted other considerations such as cost , size , complexity and efficiency . This has led to larger , more complicated and more expensive machines such as ITER and NIF . Plasma behavior ( edit ) Plasma is an ionized gas that conducts electricity . In bulk , it is modeled using magnetohydrodynamics , which is a combination of the Navier - Stokes equations governing fluids and Maxwell 's equations governing how magnetic and electric fields behave . Fusion exploits several plasma properties , including : Self - organizing plasma conducts electric and magnetic fields . Its motions can generate fields that can in turn contain it . Diamagnetic plasma can generate its own internal magnetic field . This can reject an externally applied magnetic field , making it diamagnetic . Magnetic mirrors can reflect plasma when it moves from a low to high density field . Energy capture ( edit ) Multiple approaches have been proposed for energy capture . The simplest is to heat a fluid . Most designs concentrate on the D-T reaction , which releases much of its energy in a neutron . Electrically neutral , the neutron escapes the confinement . In most such designs , it is ultimately captured in a thick `` blanket '' of lithium surrounding the reactor core . When struck by a high - energy neutron , the lithium can produce tritium , which is then fed back into the reactor . The energy of this reaction also heats the blanket , which is then actively cooled with a working fluid and then that fluid is used to drive conventional turbomachinery . It has also been proposed to use the neutrons to breed additional fission fuel in a blanket of nuclear waste , a concept known as a fission - fusion hybrid . In these systems , the power output is enhanced by the fission events , and power is extracted using systems like those in conventional fission reactors . Designs that use other fuels , notably the p-B reaction , release much more of their energy in the form of charged particles . In these cases , alternate power extraction systems based on the movement of these charges are possible . Direct energy conversion was developed at LLNL in the 1980s as a method to maintain a voltage using the fusion reaction products . This has demonstrated energy capture efficiency of 48 percent . Approaches ( edit ) Magnetic confinement ( edit ) Tokamak : the most well - developed and well - funded approach to fusion energy . This method races hot plasma around in a magnetically confined , donut - shaped ring , with an internal current . When completed , ITER will be the world 's largest tokamak . As of April 2012 an estimated 215 experimental tokamaks were either planned , decommissioned or currently operating ( 35 ) worldwide . Spherical tokamak : also known as spherical torus A variation on the tokamak with a spherical shape . Stellarator : Twisted rings of hot plasma . The stellarator attempts to create a natural twist plasma path , using external magnets , while tokamaks create those magnetic fields using an internal current . Stellarators were developed by Lyman Spitzer in 1950 and have four designs : Torsatron , Heliotron , Heliac and Helias . One example is Wendelstein 7 - X , a German fusion device that produced its first plasma on December 10 , 2015 . It is the world 's largest stellarator , designed to investigate the suitability of this type of device for a power station . Levitated Dipole Experiment ( LDX ) : These use a solid superconducting torus . This is magnetically levitated inside the reactor chamber . The superconductor forms an axisymmetric magnetic field that contains the plasma . The LDX was developed by MIT and Columbia University after 2000 by Jay Kesner and Michael E. Mauel . Magnetic mirror : Developed by Richard F. Post and teams at LLNL in the 1960s . Magnetic mirrors reflected hot plasma back and forth in a line . Variations included the Tandem Mirror , magnetic bottle and the biconic cusp . A series of well - funded , large , mirror machines were built by the US government in the 1970s and 1980s , principally at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory . Bumpy torus : A number of magnetic mirrors are arranged end - to - end in a toroidal ring . Any fuel ions that leak out of one are confined in a neighboring mirror , permitting the plasma pressure to be raised arbitrarily high without loss . An experimental facility , the ELMO Bumpy Torus or EBT was built and tested at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the 1970s . Field - reversed configuration : This device traps plasma in a self - organized quasi-stable structure ; where the particle motion makes an internal magnetic field which then traps itself . Spheromak : Very similar to a field reversed configuration , a semi-stable plasma structure made by using the plasmas ' own self - generated magnetic field . A spheromak has both a toroidal and poloidal fields , while a Field Reversed Configuration only has no toroidal field . Reversed field pinch : Here the plasma moves inside a ring . It has an internal magnetic field . Moving out from the center of this ring , the magnetic field reverses direction . Inertial confinement ( edit ) Direct drive : In this technique , lasers directly blast a pellet of fuel . The goal is to ignite a fusion chain reaction . Ignition was first suggested by John Nuckolls , in 1972 . Notable direct drive experiments have been conducted at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics , Laser Mégajoule and the GEKKO XII facilities . Good implosions require fuel pellets with close to a perfect shape in order to generate a symmetrical inward shock wave that produces the high - density plasma . Fast ignition : This method uses two laser blasts . The first blast compresses the fusion fuel , while the second high energy pulse ignites it . Experiments have been conducted at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics using the Omega and Omega EP systems and at the GEKKO XII laser at the Institute for Laser Engineering in Osaka Japan . Indirect drive : In this technique , lasers blasts a structure around the pellet of fuel . This structure is known as a Hohlraum . As it disintegrates the pellet is bathed in a more uniform x-ray light , creating better compression . The largest system using this method is the National Ignition Facility . Magneto - inertial fusion or Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion : This combines a laser pulse with a magnetic pinch . The pinch community refers to it as magnetized liner Inertial fusion while the ICF community refers to it as magneto - inertial fusion . Heavy Ion Beams There are also proposals to do inertial confinement fusion with ion beams instead of laser beams . The main difference is the mass of the beam has momentum , whereas lasers do not . Magnetic or electric pinches ( edit ) Main article : Pinch ( plasma physics ) Z - Pinch : This method sends a strong current ( in the z - direction ) through the plasma . The current generates a magnetic field that squeezes the plasma to fusion conditions . Pinches were the first method for man - made controlled fusion . Some examples include the Dense plasma focus ( DPF ) and the Z machine at Sandia National Laboratories . In DPF the focus consists of two coaxial cylindrical electrodes made from copper or beryllium and housed in a vacuum chamber containing a low - pressure fusible gas . An electrical pulse is applied across the electrodes , heating the gas into a plasma . The current forms into a minuscule vortex along the axis of the machine , which then kinks into a cage of current with an associated magnetic field . The cage of current and magnetic - field - entrapped plasma is called a plasmoid . The acceleration of the electrons about the magnetic field lines heats the nuclei within the plasmoid to fusion temperatures . Theta - Pinch : This method sends a current inside a plasma , in the theta direction . Screw Pinch : This method combines a theta and z - pinch for improved stabilization . Inertial electrostatic confinement ( edit ) Main article : Inertial Electrostatic Confinement Fusor : This method uses an electric field to heat ions to fusion conditions . The machine typically uses two spherical cages , a cathode inside the anode , inside a vacuum . These machines are not considered a viable approach to net power because of their high conduction and radiation losses . They are simple enough to build that amateurs have fused atoms using them . Polywell : This design attempts to combine magnetic confinement with electrostatic fields , to avoid the conduction losses generated by the cage . Other ( edit ) Magnetized target fusion : This method confines hot plasma using a magnetic field and squeezes it using inertia . Examples include LANL FRX - L machine , General Fusion and the plasma liner experiment . Cluster Impact Fusion Microscopic droplets of heavy water are accelerated at great velocity into a target or into one another . Researchers at Brookhaven reported positive results which were later refuted by further experimentation . Fusion effects were actually produced because of contamination of the droplets . Uncontrolled : Fusion has been initiated by man , using uncontrolled fission explosions to ignite so - called Hydrogen Bombs . Early proposals for fusion power included using bombs to initiate reactions . Beam fusion : A beam of high energy particles can be fired at another beam or target and fusion will occur . This was used in the 1970s and 1980s to study the cross sections of high energy fusion reactions . Bubble fusion : This was a fusion reaction that was supposed to occur inside extraordinarily large collapsing gas bubbles , created during acoustic liquid cavitation . This approach was discredited . Cold fusion : This is a hypothetical type of nuclear reaction that would occur at , or near , room temperature . Cold fusion is discredited and gained a reputation as pathological science . Muon - catalyzed fusion : This approach replaces electrons in the plasma by muons - far more massive particles with the same electric charge . Their greater mass allows nuclei to get much closer and collide more easily , so it greatly reduces the kinetic energy ( heat and pressure ) required to initiate fusion . A problem is that muons require more energy to produce than can be obtained from muon - catalysed fusion , making this approach impractical for power generation . Space - Based Solar Power argues that a majority of available fusion fuels exists within the sphere of the Sun where it is gravitationally confined , and that a tractable way to accomplish large - scale fusion power is to build very large space - borne platforms that capture energy via photons rather than via a carnot cycle . The theoretical limit of producing power by such means is a type - 2 civilization using a Dyson Sphere . Common tools ( edit ) Heating ( edit ) Gas is heated to form a plasma hot enough to start fusion reactions . A number of heating schemes have been explored : Radiofrequency Heating A radio wave is applied to the plasma , causing it to oscillate . This is basically the same concept as a microwave oven . This is also known as electron cyclotron resonance heating or Dielectric heating . Electrostatic Heating An electric field can do work on charged ions or electrons , heating them . Neutral Beam Injection An external source of hydrogen is ionized and accelerated by an electric field to form a charged beam which is shone through a source of neutral hydrogen gas towards the plasma which itself is ionized and contained in the reactor by a magnetic field . Some of the intermediate hydrogen gas is accelerated towards the plasma by collisions with the charged beam while remaining neutral : this neutral beam is thus unaffected by the magnetic field and so shines through it into the plasma . Once inside the plasma the neutral beam transmits energy to the plasma by collisions as a result of which it becomes ionized and thus contained by the magnetic field thereby both heating and refuelling the reactor in one operation . The remainder of the charged beam is diverted by magnetic fields onto cooled beam dumps . Antiproton annihilation Theoretically a quantity of antiprotons injected into a mass of fusion fuel can induce thermonuclear reactions . This possibility as a method of spacecraft propulsion , known as Antimatter - catalyzed nuclear pulse propulsion , was investigated at Pennsylvania State University in connection with the proposed AIMStar project . Magnetic Oscillations Measurement ( edit ) Thomson Scattering Light scatters from plasma . This light can be detected and used to reconstruct the plasmas ' behavior . This technique can be used to find its density and temperature . It is common in Inertial confinement fusion , Tokamaks and fusors . In ICF systems , this can be done by firing a second beam into a gold foil adjacent to the target . This makes x-rays that scatter or traverse the plasma . In Tokamaks , this can be done using mirrors and detectors to reflect light across a plane ( two dimensions ) or in a line ( one dimension ) . Langmuir probe This is a metal object placed in a plasma . A potential is applied to it , giving it a positive or negative voltage against the surrounding plasma . The metal collects charged particles , drawing a current . As the voltage changes , the current changes . This makes a IV Curve . The IV - curve can be used to determine the local plasma density , potential and temperature . Neutron detectors Deuterium or tritium fusion produces neutrons . Neutrons interact with surrounding matter in ways that can be detected . Several types of neutron detectors exist which can record the rate at which neutrons are produced during fusion reactions . They are an essential tool for demonstrating success . Flux loop A loop of wire is inserted into the magnetic field . As the field passes through the loop , a current is made . The current is measured and used to find the total magnetic flux through that loop . This has been used on the National Compact Stellarator Experiment , the polywell and the LDX machines . X-ray detector All plasma loses energy by emitting light . This covers the whole spectrum : visible , IR , UV , and X-rays . This occurs anytime a particle changes speed , for any reason . If the reason is deflection by a magnetic field , the radiation is Cyclotron radiation at low speeds and Synchrotron radiation at high speeds . If the reason is deflection by another particle , plasma radiates X-rays , known as Bremsstrahlung radiation . X-rays are termed in both hard and soft , based on their energy . Power production ( edit ) It has been proposed that steam turbines be used to convert the heat from the fusion chamber into electricity . The heat is transferred into a working fluid that turns into steam , driving electric generators . Neutron blankets Deuterium and tritium fusion generates neutrons . This varies by technique ( NIF has a record of 3E14 neutrons per second while a typical fusor produces 1E5 -- 1E9 neutrons per second ) . It has been proposed to use these neutrons as a way to regenerate spent fission fuel or as a way to breed tritium using a breeder blanket consisting of liquid lithium or , as in more recent reactor designs , a helium cooled pebble bed consisting of lithium bearing ceramic pebbles fabricated from materials such as Lithium titanate , lithium orthosilicate or mixtures of these phases . Direct conversion This is a method where the kinetic energy of a particle is converted into voltage . It was first suggested by Richard F. Post in conjunction with magnetic mirrors , in the late sixties . It has also been suggested for Field - Reversed Configurations . The process takes the plasma , expands it , and converts a large fraction of the random energy of the fusion products into directed motion . The particles are then collected on electrodes at various large electrical potentials . This method has demonstrated an experimental efficiency of 48 percent . Records ( edit ) Fusion records have been set by a number of devices . Here are some : Q ( edit ) The ratio of energy extracted against the amount of energy supplied . This record is considered to be set by the Joint European Torus ( JET ) in 1997 when the device extracted 16 MW of power . However , this ratio can be seen three different ways . 0.69 is the actual point in time ratio between '' fusion power '' and actual input power in the plasma ( 23 MW ) . 0.069 is the ratio between the `` fusion '' power and the power required to produce the 23MW input power ( essentially it takes into account the efficiency of the NB system ) . 0.0069 is the ratio between the `` fusion '' power and the total peak power required for a JET pulse . This takes into account all the power from the grid plus the one from the two large JET flywheel generators . Runtime ( edit ) In Field Reversed Configurations , the longest run time is 300 ms , set by the Princeton Field Reversed Configuration in August 2016 . However this involved no fusion . Confinement ( edit ) Parameter space occupied by inertial fusion energy and magnetic fusion energy devices as of the mid 1990s . The regime allowing thermonuclear ignition with high gain lies near the upper right corner of the plot . Confinement refers to all the conditions necessary to keep a plasma dense and hot long enough to undergo fusion . Here are some general principles . Equilibrium : The forces acting on the plasma must be balanced for containment . One exception is inertial confinement , where the relevant physics must occur faster than the disassembly time . Stability : The plasma must be so constructed so that disturbances will not lead to the plasma disassembling . Transport or conduction : The loss of material must be sufficiently slow . The plasma carries off energy with it , so rapid loss of material will disrupt any machines power balance . Material can be lost by transport into different regions or conduction through a solid or liquid . To produce self - sustaining fusion , the energy released by the reaction ( or at least a fraction of it ) must be used to heat new reactant nuclei and keep them hot long enough that they also undergo fusion reactions . Unconfined ( edit ) The first human - made , large - scale fusion reaction was the test of the hydrogen bomb , Ivy Mike , in 1952 . As part of the PACER project , it was once proposed to use hydrogen bombs as a source of power by detonating them in underground caverns and then generating electricity from the heat produced , but such a power station is unlikely ever to be constructed . Magnetic confinement ( edit ) At the temperatures required for fusion , the fuel is heated to a plasma state . In this state it has a very good electrical conductivity . This opens the possibility of confining the plasma with magnetic field , generally known as magnetic confinement . The field lines put a Lorentz force on the plasma . The force works perpendicular to the magnetic fields , so one problem in magnetic confinement is preventing the plasma from leaking out the ends of the field lines . A general measure of magnetic trapping in fusion is the beta ratio : β = p p m a g = n k B T ( B 2 / 2 μ 0 ) ( \ displaystyle \ beta = ( \ frac ( p ) ( p_ ( mag ) ) ) = ( \ frac ( nk_ ( B ) T ) ( ( B ^ ( 2 ) / 2 \ mu _ ( 0 ) ) ) ) ) This is the ratio of the externally applied field to the internal pressure of the plasma . A value of 1 is ideal trapping . Some examples of beta values include : The START machine : 0.32 The Levitated dipole experiment : 0.26 Spheromaks : ≈ 0.1 , Maximum 0.2 based on Mercier limit . The DIII - D machine : 0.126 The Gas Dynamic Trap a magnetic mirror : 0.6 for 5E - 3 seconds . The Sustained Spheromak Plasma Experiment at Los Alamos National labs < 0.05 for 4E - 6 seconds . Magnetic Mirror One example of magnetic confinement is with the magnetic mirror effect . If a particle follows the field line and enters a region of higher field strength , the particles can be reflected . There are several devices that try to use this effect . The most famous was the magnetic mirror machines , which was a series of large , expensive devices built at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory from the 1960s to mid 1980s . Some other examples include the magnetic bottles and Biconic cusp . Because the mirror machines were straight , they had some advantages over a ring shape . First , mirrors were easier to construct and maintain and second direct conversion energy capture , was easier to implement . As the confinement achieved in experiments was poor , this approach was abandoned . Magnetic Loops Another example of magnetic confinement is to bend the field lines back on themselves , either in circles or more commonly in nested toroidal surfaces . The most highly developed system of this type is the tokamak , with the stellarator being next most advanced , followed by the Reversed field pinch . Compact toroids , especially the Field - Reversed Configuration and the spheromak , attempt to combine the advantages of toroidal magnetic surfaces with those of a simply connected ( non-toroidal ) machine , resulting in a mechanically simpler and smaller confinement area . Inertial confinement ( edit ) Inertial confinement is the use of rapidly imploding shell to heat and confine plasma . The shell is imploded using a direct laser blast ( direct drive ) or a secondary x-ray blast ( indirect drive ) or heavy ion beams . Theoretically , fusion using lasers would be done using tiny pellets of fuel that explode several times a second . To induce the explosion , the pellet must be compressed to about 30 times solid density with energetic beams . If direct drive is used -- the beams are focused directly on the pellet -- it can in principle be very efficient , but in practice is difficult to obtain the needed uniformity . The alternative approach , indirect drive , uses beams to heat a shell , and then the shell radiates x-rays , which then implode the pellet . The beams are commonly laser beams , but heavy and light ion beams and electron beams have all been investigated . Electrostatic confinement ( edit ) There are also electrostatic confinement fusion devices . These devices confine ions using electrostatic fields . The best known is the Fusor . This device has a cathode inside an anode wire cage . Positive ions fly towards the negative inner cage , and are heated by the electric field in the process . If they miss the inner cage they can collide and fuse . Ions typically hit the cathode , however , creating prohibitory high conduction losses . Also , fusion rates in fusors are very low because of competing physical effects , such as energy loss in the form of light radiation . Designs have been proposed to avoid the problems associated with the cage , by generating the field using a non-neutral cloud . These include a plasma oscillating device , a magnetically - shielded - grid , a penning trap , the polywell and the F1 cathode driver concept . The technology is relatively immature , however , and many scientific and engineering questions remain .

( March 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) 1920s ( edit ) Research into nuclear fusion started in the early part of the 20th century . In 1920 the British physicist Francis William Aston discovered that the total mass equivalent of four hydrogen atoms ( two protons and two neutrons ) are heavier than the total mass of one helium atom ( He - 4 ) , which implied that net energy can be released by combining hydrogen atoms together to form helium , and provided the first hints of a mechanism by which stars could produce energy in the quantities being measured . Through the 1920s , Arthur Stanley Eddington became a major proponent of the proton -- proton chain reaction ( PP reaction ) as the primary system running the Sun . 1930s ( edit ) Neutrons from fusion was first detected by staff members of Ernest Rutherfords ' at the University of Cambridge , in 1933 . The experiment was developed by Mark Oliphant and involved the acceleration of protons towards a target at energies of up to 600,000 electron volts . In 1933 , the Cavendish Laboratory received a gift from the American physical chemist Gilbert N. Lewis of a few drops of heavy water . The accelerator was used to fire heavy hydrogen nuclei deuterons at various targets . Working with Rutherford and others , Oliphant discovered the nuclei of Helium - 3 ( helions ) and tritium ( tritons ) . A theory was verified by Hans Bethe in 1939 showing that beta decay and quantum tunneling in the Sun 's core might convert one of the protons into a neutron and thereby producing deuterium rather than a diproton . The deuterium would then fuse through other reactions to further increase the energy output . For this work , Bethe won the Nobel Prize in Physics . 1940s ( edit ) The first patent related to a fusion reactor was registered in 1946 by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority . The inventors were Sir George Paget Thomson and Moses Blackman . This was the first detailed examination of the Z - pinch concept . Starting in 1947 , two UK teams carried out small experiments based on this concept and began building a series of ever - larger experiments . 1950s ( edit ) The first man - made device to achieve ignition was the detonation of this fusion device , codenamed Ivy Mike . Early photo of plasma inside a pinch machine ( imperial college 1950 / 1951 ) The first successful man - made fusion device was the boosted fission weapon tested in 1951 in the Greenhouse Item test . This was followed by true fusion weapons in 1952 's Ivy Mike , and the first practical examples in 1954 's Castle Bravo . This was uncontrolled fusion . In these devices , the energy released by the fission explosion is used to compress and heat fusion fuel , starting a fusion reaction . Fusion releases neutrons . These neutrons hit the surrounding fission fuel , causing the atoms to split apart much faster than normal fission processes -- almost instantly by comparison . This increases the effectiveness of bombs : normal fission weapons blow themselves apart before all their fuel is used ; fusion / fission weapons do not have this practical upper limit . In 1949 an expatriate German , Ronald Richter , proposed the Huemul Project in Argentina , announcing positive results in 1951 . These turned out to be fake , but it prompted considerable interest in the concept as a whole . In particular , it prompted Lyman Spitzer to begin considering ways to solve some of the more obvious problems involved in confining a hot plasma , and , unaware of the z - pinch efforts , he developed a new solution to the problem known as the stellarator . Spitzer applied to the US Atomic Energy Commission for funding to build a test device . During this period , James L. Tuck who had worked with the UK teams on z - pinch had been introducing the concept to his new coworkers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory ( LANL ) . When he heard of Spitzer 's pitch for funding , he applied to build a machine of his own , the Perhapsatron . Spitzer 's idea won funding and he began work on the stellarator under the code name Project Matterhorn . His work led to the creation of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory . Tuck returned to LANL and arranged local funding to build his machine . By this time , however , it was clear that all of the pinch machines were suffering from the same issues involving instability , and progress stalled . In 1953 , Tuck and others suggested a number of solutions to the stability problems . This led to the design of a second series of pinch machines , led by the UK ZETA and Sceptre devices . Spitzer had planned an aggressive development project of four machines , A , B , C , and D. A and B were small research devices , C would be the prototype of a power - producing machine , and D would be the prototype of a commercial device . A worked without issue , but even by the time B was being used it was clear the stellarator was also suffering from instabilities and plasma leakage . Progress on C slowed as attempts were made to correct for these problems . By the mid-1950s it was clear that the simple theoretical tools being used to calculate the performance of all fusion machines were simply not predicting their actual behavior . Machines invariably leaked their plasma from their confinement area at rates far higher than predicted . In 1954 , Edward Teller held a gathering of fusion researchers at the Princeton Gun Club , near the Project Matterhorn ( now known as Project Sherwood ) grounds . Teller started by pointing out the problems that everyone was having , and suggested that any system where the plasma was confined within concave fields was doomed to fail . Attendees remember him saying something to the effect that the fields were like rubber bands , and they would attempt to snap back to a straight configuration whenever the power was increased , ejecting the plasma . He went on to say that it appeared the only way to confine the plasma in a stable configuration would be to use convex fields , a `` cusp '' configuration . When the meeting concluded , most of the researchers quickly turned out papers saying why Teller 's concerns did not apply to their particular device . The pinch machines did not use magnetic fields in this way at all , while the mirror and stellarator seemed to have various ways out . This was soon followed by a paper by Martin David Kruskal and Martin Schwarzschild discussing pinch machines , however , which demonstrated instabilities in those devices were inherent to the design . The largest `` classic '' pinch device was the ZETA , including all of these suggested upgrades , starting operations in the UK in 1957 . In early 1958 , John Cockcroft announced that fusion had been achieved in the ZETA , an announcement that made headlines around the world . When physicists in the US expressed concerns about the claims they were initially dismissed . US experiments soon demonstrated the same neutrons , although temperature measurements suggested these could not be from fusion reactions . The neutrons seen in the UK were later demonstrated to be from different versions of the same instability processes that plagued earlier machines . Cockcroft was forced to retract the fusion claims , and the entire field was tainted for years . ZETA ended its experiments in 1968 . The first experiment to achieve controlled thermonuclear fusion was accomplished using Scylla I at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1958 . Scylla I was a θ - pinch machine , with a cylinder full of deuterium . Electric current shot down the sides of the cylinder . The current made magnetic fields that pinched the plasma , raising temperatures to 15 million degrees Celsius , for long enough that atoms fused and produce neutrons . The sherwood program sponsored a series of Scylla machines at Los Alamos . The program began with 5 researchers and 100,000 in US funding in January of 1952 . By 1965 , a total of 21 million had been spent on the program and staffing never reached above 65 . In 1950 -- 1951 I.E. Tamm and A.D. Sakharov in the Soviet Union , first discussed a tokamak - like approach . Experimental research on those designs began in 1956 at the Kurchatov Institute in Moscow by a group of Soviet scientists led by Lev Artsimovich . The tokamak essentially combined a low - power pinch device with a low - power simple stellarator . The key was to combine the fields in such a way that the particles orbited within the reactor a particular number of times , today known as the `` safety factor '' . The combination of these fields dramatically improved confinement times and densities , resulting in huge improvements over existing devices . 1960s ( edit ) A key plasma physics text was published by Lyman Spitzer at Princeton in 1963 . Spitzer took the ideal gas laws and adapted them to an ionized plasma , developing many of the fundamental equations used to model a plasma . Laser fusion was suggested in 1962 by scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory , shortly after the invention of the laser itself in 1960 . At the time , Lasers were low power machines , but low - level research began as early as 1965 . Laser fusion , formally known as inertial confinement fusion , involves imploding a target by using laser beams . There are two ways to do this : indirect drive and direct drive . In direct drive , the laser blasts a pellet of fuel . In indirect drive , the lasers blast a structure around the fuel . This makes x-rays that squeeze the fuel . Both methods compress the fuel so that fusion can take place . At the 1964 World 's Fair , the public was given its first demonstration of nuclear fusion . The device was a θ - pinch from General Electric . This was similar to the Scylla machine developed earlier at Los Alamos . The magnetic mirror was first published in 1967 by Richard F. Post and many others at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory . The mirror consisted of two large magnets arranged so they had strong fields within them , and a weaker , but connected , field between them . Plasma introduced in the area between the two magnets would `` bounce back '' from the stronger fields in the middle . The A.D. Sakharov group constructed the first tokamaks , the most successful being the T - 3 and its larger version T - 4 . T - 4 was tested in 1968 in Novosibirsk , producing the world 's first quasistationary fusion reaction . When this were first announced , the international community was highly skeptical . A British team was invited to see T - 3 , however , and after measuring it in depth they released their results that confirmed the Soviet claims . A burst of activity followed as many planned devices were abandoned and new tokamaks were introduced in their place -- the C model stellarator , then under construction after many redesigns , was quickly converted to the Symmetrical Tokamak . In his work with vacuum tubes , Philo Farnsworth observed that electric charge would accumulate in regions of the tube . Today , this effect is known as the Multipactor effect . Farnsworth reasoned that if ions were concentrated high enough they could collide and fuse . In 1962 , he filed a patent on a design using a positive inner cage to concentrate plasma , in order to achieve nuclear fusion . During this time , Robert L. Hirsch joined the Farnsworth Television labs and began work on what became the fusor . Hirsch patented the design in 1966 and published the design in 1967 . 1970s ( edit ) Shiva laser , 1977 , the largest ICF laser system built in the seventies The Tandem Mirror Experiment ( TMX ) in 1979 In 1972 , John Nuckolls outlined the idea of ignition . This is a fusion chain reaction . Hot helium made during fusion reheats the fuel and starts more reactions . John argued that ignition would require lasers of about 1 kJ . This turned out to be wrong . Nuckolls 's paper started a major development effort . Several laser systems were built at LLNL . These included the argus , the Cyclops , the Janus , the long path , the Shiva laser and the Nova in 1984 . This prompted the UK to build the Central Laser Facility in 1976 . During this time , great strides in understanding the tokamak system were made . A number of improvements to the design are now part of the `` advanced tokamak '' concept , which includes non-circular plasma , internal diverters and limiters , often superconducting magnets , and operate in the so - called `` H - mode '' island of increased stability . Two other designs have also become fairly well studied ; the compact tokamak is wired with the magnets on the inside of the vacuum chamber , while the spherical tokamak reduces its cross section as much as possible . In 1974 a study of the ZETA results demonstrated an interesting side - effect ; after an experimental run ended , the plasma would enter a short period of stability . This led to the reversed field pinch concept , which has seen some level of development since . On May 1 , 1974 , the KMS fusion company ( founded by Kip Siegel ) achieves the world 's first laser induced fusion in a deuterium - tritium pellet . In the mid-1970s , Project PACER , carried out at Los Alamos National Laboratory ( LANL ) explored the possibility of a fusion power system that would involve exploding small hydrogen bombs ( fusion bombs ) inside an underground cavity . As an energy source , the system is the only fusion power system that could be demonstrated to work using existing technology . It would also require a large , continuous supply of nuclear bombs , however , making the economics of such a system rather questionable . In 1976 , the two beam Argus laser becomes operational at livermore . In 1977 , The 20 beam Shiva laser at Livermore is completed , capable of delivering 10.2 kilojoules of infrared energy on target . At a price of $25 million and a size approaching that of a football field , Shiva is the first of the megalasers . That same year , the JET project is approved by the European Commission and a site is selected . 1980s ( edit ) Magnetic mirrors suffered from end losses , requiring high power , complex magnetic designs , such as the baseball coil pictured here . The Novette target chamber ( metal sphere with diagnostic devices protruding radially ) , which was reused from the Shiva project and two newly built laser chains visible in background . Inertial confinement fusion implosion on the Nova laser during the 1980s was a key driver of fusion development . As a result of advocacy , the cold war , and the 1970s energy crisis a massive magnetic mirror program was funded by the US federal government in the late 1970s and early 1980s . This program resulted in a series of large magnetic mirror devices including : 2X , Baseball I , Baseball II , the Tandem Mirror Experiment , the Tandem mirror experiment upgrade , the Mirror Fusion Test Facility and the MFTF - B. These machines were built and tested at Livermore from the late 1960s to the mid 1980s . A number of institutions collaborated on these machines , conducting experiments . These included the Institute for Advanced Study and the University of Wisconsin -- Madison . The last machine , the Mirror Fusion Test Facility cost 372 million dollars and was , at that time , the most expensive project in Livermore history . It opened on February 21 , 1986 and was promptly shut down . The reason given was to balance the United States federal budget . This program was supported from within the Carter and early Reagan administrations by Edwin E. Kintner , a US Navy captain , under Alvin Trivelpiece . In Laser fusion progressed : in 1983 , the NOVETTE laser was completed . The following December 1984 , the ten beam NOVA laser was finished . Five years later , NOVA would produce a maximum of 120 kilojoules of infrared light , during a nanosecond pulse . Meanwhile , efforts focused on either fast delivery or beam smoothness . Both tried to deliver the energy uniformly to implode the target . One early problem was that the light in the infrared wavelength , lost lots of energy before hitting the fuel . Breakthroughs were made at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics at the University of Rochester . Rochester scientists used frequency - tripling crystals to transform the infrared laser beams into ultraviolet beams . In 1985 , Donna Strickland and Gérard Mourou invented a method to amplify lasers pulses by `` chirping '' . This method changes a single wavelength into a full spectrum . The system then amplifies the laser at each wavelength and then reconstitutes the beam into one color . Chirp pulsed amplification became instrumental in building the National Ignition Facility and the Omega EP system . Most research into ICF was towards weapons research , because the implosion is relevant to nuclear weapons . During this time Los Alamos National Laboratory constructed a series of laser facilities . This included Gemini ( a two beam system ) , Helios ( eight beams ) , Antares ( 24 beams ) and Aurora ( 96 beams ) . The program ended in the early nineties with a cost on the order of one billion dollars . In 1987 , Akira Hasegawa noticed that in a dipolar magnetic field , fluctuations tended to compress the plasma without energy loss . This effect was noticed in data taken by Voyager 2 , when it encountered Uranus . This observation would become the basis for a fusion approach known as the Levitated dipole . In Tokamaks , the Tore Supra was under construction over the middle of the eighties ( 1983 to 1988 ) . This was a Tokamak built in Cadarache , France . In 1983 , the JET was completed and first plasmas achieved . In 1985 , the Japanese tokamak , JT - 60 was completed . In 1988 , the T - 15 a Soviet tokamak was completed . It was the first industrial fusion reactor to use superconducting magnets to control the plasma . These were Helium cooled . In 1989 , Pons and Fleischmann submitted papers to the Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry claiming that they had observed fusion in a room temperature device and disclosing their work in a press release . Some scientists reported excess heat , neutrons , tritium , helium and other nuclear effects in so - called cold fusion systems , which for a time gained interest as showing promise . Hopes fell when replication failures were weighed in view of several reasons cold fusion is not likely to occur , the discovery of possible sources of experimental error , and finally the discovery that Fleischmann and Pons had not actually detected nuclear reaction byproducts . By late 1989 , most scientists considered cold fusion claims dead , and cold fusion subsequently gained a reputation as pathological science . However , a small community of researchers continues to investigate cold fusion claiming to replicate Fleishmann and Pons ' results including nuclear reaction byproducts . Claims related to cold fusion are largely disbelieved in the mainstream scientific community . In 1989 , the majority of a review panel organized by the US Department of Energy ( DOE ) found that the evidence for the discovery of a new nuclear process was not persuasive . A second DOE review , convened in 2004 to look at new research , reached conclusions similar to the first . In 1984 , Martin Peng of ORNL proposed an alternate arrangement of the magnet coils that would greatly reduce the aspect ratio while avoiding the erosion issues of the compact tokamak : a Spherical tokamak . Instead of wiring each magnet coil separately , he proposed using a single large conductor in the center , and wiring the magnets as half - rings off of this conductor . What was once a series of individual rings passing through the hole in the center of the reactor was reduced to a single post , allowing for aspect ratios as low as 1.2 . The ST concept appeared to represent an enormous advance in tokamak design . However , it was being proposed during a period when US fusion research budgets were being dramatically scaled back . ORNL was provided with funds to develop a suitable central column built out of a high - strength copper alloy called `` Glidcop '' . However , they were unable to secure funding to build a demonstration machine , `` STX '' . Failing to build an ST at ORNL , Peng began a worldwide effort to interest other teams in the ST concept and get a test machine built . One way to do this quickly would be to convert a spheromak machine to the Spherical tokamak layout . Peng 's advocacy also caught the interest of Derek Robinson , of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority fusion center at Culham . Robinson was able to gather together a team and secure funding on the order of 100,000 pounds to build an experimental machine , the Small Tight Aspect Ratio Tokamak , or START . Several parts of the machine were recycled from earlier projects , while others were loaned from other labs , including a 40 keV neutral beam injector from ORNL . Construction of START began in 1990 , it was assembled rapidly and started operation in January 1991 . 1990s ( edit ) Mockup of a gold - plated hohlraum designed for use in the National Ignition Facility In 1991 the Preliminary Tritium Experiment at the Joint European Torus in England achieved the world 's first controlled release of fusion power . In 1992 , a major article was published in Physics Today by Robert McCory at the Laboratory for laser energetics outlying the current state of ICF and advocating for a national ignition facility . This was followed up by a major review article , from John Lindl in 1995 , advocating for NIF . During this time a number of ICF subsystems were developing , including target manufacturing , cryogenic handling systems , new laser designs ( notably the NIKE laser at NRL ) and improved diagnostics like time of flight analyzers and Thomson scattering . This work was done at the NOVA laser system , General Atomics , Laser Mégajoule and the GEKKO XII system in Japan . Through this work and lobbying by groups like the fusion power associates and John Sethian at NRL , a vote was made in congress , authorizing funding for the NIF project in the late nineties . In the early nineties , theory and experimental work regarding fusors and polywells was published . In response , Todd Rider at MIT developed general models of these devices . Rider argued that all plasma systems at thermodynamic equilibrium were fundamentally limited . In 1995 , William Nevins published a criticism arguing that the particles inside fusors and polywells would build up angular momentum , causing the dense core to degrade . In 1995 , the University of Wisconsin -- Madison built a large fusor , known as HOMER , which is still in operation . Meanwhile , Dr George H. Miley at Illinois , built a small fusor that has produced neutrons using deuterium gas and discovered the `` star mode '' of fusor operation . The following year , the first `` US - Japan Workshop on IEC Fusion '' , was conducted . At this time in Europe , an IEC device was developed as a commercial neutron source by Daimler - Chrysler and NSD Fusion . In 1996 , the Z - machine was upgraded and opened to the public by the US Army in August 1998 in Scientific American . The key attributes of Sandia 's Z machine are its 18 million amperes and a discharge time of less than 100 nanoseconds . This generates a magnetic pulse , inside a large oil tank , this strikes an array of tungsten wires called a liner . Firing the Z - machine has become a way to test very high energy , high temperature ( 2 billion degrees ) conditions . In 1996 , the Tore Supra creates a plasma for two minutes with a current of almost 1 million amperes driven non-inductively by 2.3 MW of lower hybrid frequency waves . This is 280 MJ of injected and extracted energy . This result was possible because of the actively cooled plasma - facing components In 1997 , JET produced a peak of 16.1 MW of fusion power ( 65 % of heat to plasma ) , with fusion power of over 10MW sustained for over 0.5 sec . Its successor , the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor ( ITER ) , was officially announced as part of a seven - party consortium ( six countries and the EU ) . ITER is designed to produce ten times more fusion power than the power put into the plasma . ITER is currently under construction in Cadarache , France . In the late nineties , a team at Columbia University and MIT developed the Levitated dipole a fusion device which consisted of a superconducting electromagnet , floating in a saucer shaped vacuum chamber . Plasma swirled around this donut and fused along the center axis . 2000s ( edit ) Starting in 1999 , a growing number of amateurs have been able to fuse atoms using homemade fusors , shown here . The Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak became operational in the UK in 1999 In the March 8 , 2002 issue of the peer - reviewed journal Science , Rusi P. Taleyarkhan and colleagues at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory ( ORNL ) reported that acoustic cavitation experiments conducted with deuterated acetone ( C D O ) showed measurements of tritium and neutron output consistent with the occurrence of fusion . Taleyarkhan was later found guilty of misconduct , the Office of Naval Research debarred him for 28 months from receiving Federal Funding , and his name was listed in the ' Excluded Parties List ' . `` Fast ignition '' was developed in the late nineties , and was part of a push by the Laboratory for Laser Energetics for building the Omega EP system . This system was finished in 2008 . Fast ignition showed such dramatic power savings that ICF appears to be a useful technique for energy production . There are even proposals to build an experimental facility dedicated to the fast ignition approach , known as HiPER . In April 2005 , a team from UCLA announced it had devised a way of producing fusion using a machine that `` fits on a lab bench '' , using lithium tantalate to generate enough voltage to smash deuterium atoms together . The process , however , does not generate net power ( see Pyroelectric fusion ) . Such a device would be useful in the same sort of roles as the fusor . In 2006 , China 's EAST test reactor is completed . This was the first tokamak to use superconducting magnets to generate both the toroidal and poloidal fields . In the early 2000s , Researchers at LANL reasoned that a plasma oscillating could be at local thermodynamic equilibrium . This prompted the POPS and Penning trap designs . At this time , researchers at MIT became interested in fusors for space propulsion and powering space vehicles . Specifically , researchers developed fusors with multiple inner cages . Greg Piefer graduated from Madison and founded Phoenix Nuclear Labs , a company that developed the fusor into a neutron source for the mass production of medical isotopes . Robert Bussard began speaking openly about the Polywell in 2006 . He attempted to generate interest in the research , before his death . In 2008 , Taylor Wilson achieved notoriety for achieving nuclear fusion at 14 , with a homemade fusor . In March 2009 , a high - energy laser system , the National Ignition Facility ( NIF ) , located at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory , became operational . The early 2000s saw the founding of a number of privately backed fusion companies pursuing innovative approaches with the stated goal of developing commercially viable fusion power plants . Secretive startup Tri Alpha Energy , founded in 1998 , began exploring a field - reversed configuration approach . In 2002 , Canadian company General Fusion began proof - of - concept experiments based on a hybrid magneto - inertial approach called Magnetized Target Fusion . These companies are funded by private investors including Jeff Bezos ( General Fusion ) and Paul Allen ( Tri Alpha Energy ) . Toward the end of the decade , UK - based fusion company Tokamak Energy started exploring spherical tokamak devices . 2010s ( edit ) The preamplifiers of the National Ignition Facility . In 2012 , the NIF achieved a 500 - terawatt shot . The Wendelstein7X under construction Example of a stellarator design : A coil system ( blue ) surrounds plasma ( yellow ) . A magnetic field line is highlighted in green on the yellow plasma surface . NIF , the French Laser Mégajoule and the planned European Union High Power laser Energy Research ( HiPER ) facility continued researching inertial ( laser ) confinement . In 2010 , NIF researchers conducted a series of `` tuning '' shots to determine the optimal target design and laser parameters for high - energy ignition experiments with fusion fuel . Firing tests were performed on October 31 , 2010 and November 2 , 2010 . In early 2012 , NIF director Mike Dunne expected the laser system to generate fusion with net energy gain by the end of 2012 . However , that did not happen until August 2013 . The facility reported that their next step involved improving the system to prevent the hohlraum from either breaking up asymmetrically or too soon . A 2012 paper demonstrated that a dense plasma focus had achieved temperatures of 1.8 billion degrees Celsius , sufficient for boron fusion , and that fusion reactions were occurring primarily within the contained plasmoid , a necessary condition for net power . In April 2014 , Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ended the Laser Inertial Fusion Energy ( LIFE ) program and redirected their efforts towards NIF . In August 2014 , Phoenix Nuclear Labs announced the sale of a high - yield neutron generator that could sustain 5 × 10 deuterium fusion reactions per second over a 24 - hour period . In October 2014 , Lockheed Martin 's Skunk Works announced the development of a high beta fusion reactor , the Compact Fusion Reactor , intending on making a 100 - megawatt prototype by 2017 and beginning regular operation by 2022 . Although the original concept was to build a 20 - ton , container - sized unit , the team later conceded that the minimum scale would be 2,000 tons . In January 2015 , the polywell was presented at Microsoft Research . In August , 2015 , MIT announced a tokamak it named ARC fusion reactor using rare - earth barium - copper oxide ( REBCO ) superconducting tapes to produce high - magnetic field coils that it claimed produce comparable magnetic field strength in a smaller configuration than other designs . In October 2015 , researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics completed building the largest stellarator to date , named Wendelstein 7 - X . On December 10 , they successfully produced the first helium plasma , and on February 3 , 2016 produced the device 's first hydrogen plasma . With plasma discharges lasting up to 30 minutes , Wendelstein 7 - X is attempting to demonstrate the essential stellarator attribute : continuous operation of a high - temperature hydrogen plasma . General Fusion developed its plasma injector technology and Tri Alpha Energy constructed and operated its C - 2U device . In 2017 Helion Energy 's fifth - generation plasma machine went into operation , seeking to achieve plasma density of 20 Tesla and fusion temperatures . In 2018 General Fusion was developing 70 % scale demo system to be completed around 2023 . In 2018 , energy corporation Eni announced a $50 million investment in the newly founded Commonwealth Fusion Systems , to attempt to commercialize ARC technology using a test reactor ( SPARC ) in collaboration with MIT . Fuels ( edit ) By firing particle beams at targets , many fusion reactions have been tested , while the fuels considered for power have all been light elements like the isotopes of hydrogen -- protium , deuterium , and tritium . The deuterium and helium - 3 reaction requires helium - 3 , an isotope of helium so scarce on Earth that it would have to be mined extraterrestrially or produced by other nuclear reactions . Finally , researchers hope to perform the protium and boron - 11 reaction , because it does not directly produce neutrons , though side reactions can . Deuterium , tritium ( edit ) Diagram of the D-T reaction The easiest nuclear reaction , at the lowest energy , is : D + → He ( 3.5 MeV ) + n ( 14.1 MeV ) This reaction is common in research , industrial and military applications , usually as a convenient source of neutrons . Deuterium is a naturally occurring isotope of hydrogen and is commonly available . The large mass ratio of the hydrogen isotopes makes their separation easy compared to the difficult uranium enrichment process . Tritium is a natural isotope of hydrogen , but because it has a short half - life of 12.32 years , it is hard to find , store , produce , and is expensive . Consequently , the deuterium - tritium fuel cycle requires the breeding of tritium from lithium using one of the following reactions : n + Li → + He n + Li → + He + n The reactant neutron is supplied by the D-T fusion reaction shown above , and the one that has the greatest yield of energy . The reaction with Li is exothermic , providing a small energy gain for the reactor . The reaction with Li is endothermic but does not consume the neutron . At least some neutron multiplication reactions are required to replace the neutrons lost to absorption by other elements . Leading candidate neutron multiplication materials are beryllium and lead however the Li reaction above also helps to keep the neutron population high . Natural lithium is mainly Li however this has a low tritium production cross section compared to Li so most reactor designs use breeder blankets with enriched Li . Several drawbacks are commonly attributed to D-T fusion power : It produces substantial amounts of neutrons that result in the neutron activation of the reactor materials . Only about 20 % of the fusion energy yield appears in the form of charged particles with the remainder carried off by neutrons , which limits the extent to which direct energy conversion techniques might be applied . It requires the handling of the radioisotope tritium . Similar to hydrogen , tritium is difficult to contain and may leak from reactors in some quantity . Some estimates suggest that this would represent a fairly large environmental release of radioactivity . The neutron flux expected in a commercial D-T fusion reactor is about 100 times that of current fission power reactors , posing problems for material design . After a series of D-T tests at JET , the vacuum vessel was sufficiently radioactive that remote handling was required for the year following the tests . In a production setting , the neutrons would be used to react with lithium in the context of a breeder blanket comprising lithium ceramic pebbles or liquid lithium , in order to create more tritium . This also deposits the energy of the neutrons in the lithium , which would then be transferred to drive electrical production . The lithium neutron absorption reaction protects the outer portions of the reactor from the neutron flux . Newer designs , the advanced tokamak in particular , also use lithium inside the reactor core as a key element of the design . The plasma interacts directly with the lithium , preventing a problem known as `` recycling '' . The advantage of this design was demonstrated in the Lithium Tokamak Experiment . Deuterium ( edit ) Deuterium fusion cross section ( in square meters ) at different ion collision energies . This is the second easiest fusion reaction , fusing two deuterium nuclei . The reaction has two branches that occur with nearly equal probability : D + D → T + H D + D → He + n This reaction is also common in research . The optimum energy to initiate this reaction is 15 keV , only slightly higher than the optimum for the D-T reaction . The first branch does not produce neutrons , but it does produce tritium , so that a D-D reactor will not be completely tritium - free , even though it does not require an input of tritium or lithium . Unless the tritons can be quickly removed , most of the tritium produced would be burned before leaving the reactor , which would reduce the handling of tritium , but would produce more neutrons , some of which are very energetic . The neutron from the second branch has an energy of only 2.45 MeV ( 0.393 pJ ) , whereas the neutron from the D-T reaction has an energy of 14.1 MeV ( 2.26 pJ ) , resulting in a wider range of isotope production and material damage . When the tritons are removed quickly while allowing the He to react , the fuel cycle is called `` tritium suppressed fusion '' The removed tritium decays to He with a 12.5 year half life . By recycling the He produced from the decay of tritium back into the fusion reactor , the fusion reactor does not require materials resistant to fast 14.1 MeV ( 2.26 pJ ) neutrons . Assuming complete tritium burn - up , the reduction in the fraction of fusion energy carried by neutrons would be only about 18 % , so that the primary advantage of the D-D fuel cycle is that tritium breeding would not be required . Other advantages are independence from scarce lithium resources and a somewhat softer neutron spectrum . The disadvantage of D-D compared to D-T is that the energy confinement time ( at a given pressure ) must be 30 times longer and the power produced ( at a given pressure and volume ) would be 68 times less . Assuming complete removal of tritium and recycling of He , only 6 % of the fusion energy is carried by neutrons . The tritium - suppressed D-D fusion requires an energy confinement that is 10 times longer compared to D-T and a plasma temperature that is twice as high . Deuterium , helium - 3 ( edit ) A second - generation approach to controlled fusion power involves combining helium - 3 ( He ) and deuterium ( H ) : D + He → He + H This reaction produces a helium - 4 nucleus ( He ) and a high - energy proton . As with the p - B aneutronic fusion fuel cycle , most of the reaction energy is released as charged particles , reducing activation of the reactor housing and potentially allowing more efficient energy harvesting ( via any of several speculative technologies ) . In practice , D-D side reactions produce a significant number of neutrons , resulting in p - B being the preferred cycle for aneutronic fusion . Protium , boron - 11 ( edit ) If aneutronic fusion is the goal , then the most promising candidate may be the hydrogen - 1 ( protium ) and boron reaction , which releases alpha ( helium ) particles , but does not rely on neutron scattering for energy transfer . H + B → 3 He Under reasonable assumptions , side reactions will result in about 0.1 % of the fusion power being carried by neutrons . At 123 keV , the optimum temperature for this reaction is nearly ten times higher than that for the pure hydrogen reactions , the energy confinement must be 500 times better than that required for the D-T reaction , and the power density will be 2500 times lower than for D-T . Because the confinement properties of conventional approaches to fusion such as the tokamak and laser pellet fusion are marginal , most proposals for aneutronic fusion are based on radically different confinement concepts , such as the Polywell and the Dense Plasma Focus . Results have been extremely promising : `` In the October 2013 edition of Nature Communications , a research team led by Christine Labaune at École Polytechnique in Palaiseau , France , reported a new record fusion rate : an estimated 80 million fusion reactions during the 1.5 nanoseconds that the laser fired , which is at least 100 times more than any previous proton - boron experiment . '' Material selection ( edit ) Main article : International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility Considerations ( edit ) Any power station using hot plasma is going to have plasma facing walls . In even the simplest plasma approaches , the material will get blasted with matter and energy . This leads to a minimum list of considerations , including dealing with : A heating and cooling cycle , up to a 10 MW / m2 thermal load . Neutron radiation , which over time leads to neutron activation and embrittlement . High energy ions leaving at tens to hundreds of electronvolts . Alpha particles leaving at millions of electronvolts . Electrons leaving at high energy . Light radiation ( IR , visible , UV , X-ray ) . Depending on the approach , these effects may be higher or lower than typical fission reactors like the pressurized water reactor ( PWR ) . One estimate put the radiation at 100 times that of a typical PWR . Materials need to be selected or developed that can withstand these basic conditions . Depending on the approach , however , there may be other considerations such as electrical conductivity , magnetic permeability and mechanical strength . There is also a need for materials whose primary components and impurities do not result in long - lived radioactive wastes . Durability ( edit ) For long term use , each atom in the wall is expected to be hit by a neutron and displaced about a hundred times before the material is replaced . High - energy neutrons will produce hydrogen and helium by way of various nuclear reactions that tends to form bubbles at grain boundaries and result in swelling , blistering or embrittlement . Selection ( edit ) One can choose either a low - Z material , such as graphite or beryllium , or a high - Z material , usually tungsten with molybdenum as a second choice . Use of liquid metals ( lithium , gallium , tin ) has also been proposed , e.g. , by injection of 1 -- 5 mm thick streams flowing at 10 m / s on solid substrates . If graphite is used , the gross erosion rates due to physical and chemical sputtering would be many meters per year , so one must rely on redeposition of the sputtered material . The location of the redeposition will not exactly coincide with the location of the sputtering , so one is still left with erosion rates that may be prohibitive . An even larger problem is the tritium co-deposited with the redeposited graphite . The tritium inventory in graphite layers and dust in a reactor could quickly build up to many kilograms , representing a waste of resources and a serious radiological hazard in case of an accident . The consensus of the fusion community seems to be that graphite , although a very attractive material for fusion experiments , can not be the primary plasma - facing material ( PFM ) in a commercial reactor . The sputtering rate of tungsten by the plasma fuel ions is orders of magnitude smaller than that of carbon , and tritium is much less incorporated into redeposited tungsten , making this a more attractive choice . On the other hand , tungsten impurities in a plasma are much more damaging than carbon impurities , and self - sputtering of tungsten can be high , so it will be necessary to ensure that the plasma in contact with the tungsten is not too hot ( a few tens of eV rather than hundreds of eV ) . Tungsten also has disadvantages in terms of eddy currents and melting in off - normal events , as well as some radiological issues . Safety and the environment ( edit ) Accident potential ( edit ) Unlike nuclear fission , fusion requires extremely precise and controlled temperature , pressure and magnetic field parameters for any net energy to be produced . If a reactor suffers damage or loses even a small degree of required control , fusion reactions and heat generation would rapidly cease . Additionally , fusion reactors contain only small amounts of fuel , enough to `` burn '' for minutes , or in some cases , microseconds . Unless they are actively refueled , the reactions will quickly end . Therefore , fusion reactors are considered immune from catastrophic meltdown . For similar reasons , runaway reactions can not occur in a fusion reactor . The plasma is burnt at optimal conditions , and any significant change will simply quench the reactions . The reaction process is so delicate that this level of safety is inherent . Although the plasma in a fusion power station is expected to have a volume of 1,000 cubic metres ( 35,000 cu ft ) or more , the plasma density is low and typically contains only a few grams of fuel in use . If the fuel supply is closed , the reaction stops within seconds . In comparison , a fission reactor is typically loaded with enough fuel for several months or years , and no additional fuel is necessary to continue the reaction . It is this large amount of fuel that gives rise to the possibility of a meltdown ; nothing like this exists in a fusion reactor . In the magnetic approach , strong fields are developed in coils that are held in place mechanically by the reactor structure . Failure of this structure could release this tension and allow the magnet to `` explode '' outward . The severity of this event would be similar to any other industrial accident or an MRI machine quench / explosion , and could be effectively stopped with a containment building similar to those used in existing ( fission ) nuclear generators . The laser - driven inertial approach is generally lower - stress because of the increased size of the reaction chamber . Although failure of the reaction chamber is possible , simply stopping fuel delivery would prevent any sort of catastrophic failure . Most reactor designs rely on liquid hydrogen as both a coolant and a method for converting stray neutrons from the reaction into tritium , which is fed back into the reactor as fuel . Hydrogen is highly flammable , and in the case of a fire it is possible that the hydrogen stored on - site could be burned up and escape . In this case , the tritium contents of the hydrogen would be released into the atmosphere , posing a radiation risk . Calculations suggest that at about 1 kilogram ( 2.2 lb ) , the total amount of tritium and other radioactive gases in a typical power station would be so small that they would have diluted to legally acceptable limits by the time they blew as far as the station 's perimeter fence . The likelihood of small industrial accidents , including the local release of radioactivity and injury to staff , can not be estimated yet . These would include accidental releases of lithium or tritium or mishandling of decommissioned radioactive components of the reactor itself . Magnet quench ( edit ) A quench is an abnormal termination of magnet operation that occurs when part of the superconducting coil enters the normal ( resistive ) state . This can occur because the field inside the magnet is too large , the rate of change of field is too large ( causing eddy currents and resultant heating in the copper support matrix ) , or a combination of the two . More rarely a defect in the magnet can cause a quench . When this happens , that particular spot is subject to rapid Joule heating from the enormous current , which raises the temperature of the surrounding regions . This pushes those regions into the normal state as well , which leads to more heating in a chain reaction . The entire magnet rapidly becomes normal ( this can take several seconds , depending on the size of the superconducting coil ) . This is accompanied by a loud bang as the energy in the magnetic field is converted to heat , and rapid boil - off of the cryogenic fluid . The abrupt decrease of current can result in kilovolt inductive voltage spikes and arcing . Permanent damage to the magnet is rare , but components can be damaged by localized heating , high voltages , or large mechanical forces . In practice , magnets usually have safety devices to stop or limit the current when the beginning of a quench is detected . If a large magnet undergoes a quench , the inert vapor formed by the evaporating cryogenic fluid can present a significant asphyxiation hazard to operators by displacing breathable air . A large section of the superconducting magnets in CERN 's Large Hadron Collider unexpectedly quenched during start - up operations in 2008 , necessitating the replacement of a number of magnets . In order to mitigate against potentially destructive quenches , the superconducting magnets that form the LHC are equipped with fast - ramping heaters which are activated once a quench event is detected by the complex quench protection system . As the dipole bending magnets are connected in series , each power circuit includes 154 individual magnets , and should a quench event occur , the entire combined stored energy of these magnets must be dumped at once . This energy is transferred into dumps that are massive blocks of metal which heat up to several hundreds of degrees Celsius -- because of resistive heating -- in a matter of seconds . Although undesirable , a magnet quench is a `` fairly routine event '' during the operation of a particle accelerator . Effluents ( edit ) The natural product of the fusion reaction is a small amount of helium , which is completely harmless to life . Of more concern is tritium , which , like other isotopes of hydrogen , is difficult to retain completely . During normal operation , some amount of tritium will be continually released . Although tritium is volatile and biologically active , the health risk posed by a release is much lower than that of most radioactive contaminants , because of tritium 's short half - life ( 12.32 years ) and very low decay energy ( ~ 14.95 keV ) , and because it does not bioaccumulate ( instead being cycled out of the body as water , with a biological half - life of 7 to 14 days ) . Current ITER designs are investigating total containment facilities for any tritium . Waste management ( 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 . ( July 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The large flux of high - energy neutrons in a reactor will make the structural materials radioactive . The radioactive inventory at shut - down may be comparable to that of a fission reactor , but there are important differences . The half - life of the radioisotopes produced by fusion tends to be less than those from fission , so that the inventory decreases more rapidly . Unlike fission reactors , whose waste remains radioactive for thousands of years , most of the radioactive material in a fusion reactor would be the reactor core itself , which would be dangerous for about 50 years , and low - level waste for another 100 . Although this waste will be considerably more radioactive during those 50 years than fission waste , the very short half - life makes the process very attractive , as the waste management is fairly straightforward . By 500 years the material would have the same radiotoxicity as coal ash . Additionally , the choice of materials used in a fusion reactor is less constrained than in a fission design , where many materials are required for their specific neutron cross-sections . This allows a fusion reactor to be designed using materials that are selected specifically to be `` low activation '' , materials that do not easily become radioactive . Vanadium , for example , would become much less radioactive than stainless steel . Carbon fiber materials are also low - activation , as well as being strong and light , and are a promising area of study for laser - inertial reactors where a magnetic field is not required . In general terms , fusion reactors would create far less radioactive material than a fission reactor , the material it would create is less damaging biologically , and the radioactivity `` burns off '' within a time period that is well within existing engineering capabilities for safe long - term waste storage . Nuclear proliferation ( edit ) Main article : Nuclear proliferation Although fusion power uses nuclear technology , the overlap with nuclear weapons would be limited . A huge amount of tritium could be produced by a fusion power station ; tritium is used in the trigger of hydrogen bombs and in a modern boosted fission weapon , but it can also be produced by nuclear fission . The energetic neutrons from a fusion reactor could be used to breed weapons - grade plutonium or uranium for an atomic bomb ( for example by transmutation of U to Pu , or Th to U ) . A study conducted 2011 assessed the risk of three scenarios : Use in small - scale fusion station : As a result of much higher power consumption , heat dissipation and a more recognizable design compared to enrichment gas centrifuges this choice would be much easier to detect and therefore implausible . Modifications to produce weapon - usable material in a commercial facility : The production potential is significant . But no fertile or fissile substances necessary for the production of weapon - usable materials needs to be present at a civil fusion system at all . If not shielded , a detection of these materials can be done by their characteristic gamma radiation . The underlying redesign could be detected by regular design information verifications . In the ( technically more feasible ) case of solid breeder blanket modules , it would be necessary for incoming components to be inspected for the presence of fertile material , otherwise plutonium for several weapons could be produced each year . Prioritizing a fast production of weapon - grade material regardless of secrecy : The fastest way to produce weapon usable material was seen in modifying a prior civil fusion power station . Unlike in some nuclear power stations , there is no weapon compatible material during civil use . Even without the need for covert action this modification would still take about 2 months to start the production and at least an additional week to generate a significant amount for weapon production . This was seen as enough time to detect a military use and to react with diplomatic or military means . To stop the production , a military destruction of inevitable parts of the facility leaving out the reactor itself would be sufficient . This , together with the intrinsic safety of fusion power would only bear a low risk of radioactive contamination . Another study concludes that `` ( ... ) large fusion reactors -- even if not designed for fissile material breeding -- could easily produce several hundred kg Pu per year with high weapon quality and very low source material requirements . '' It was emphasized that the implementation of features for intrinsic proliferation resistance might only be possible at this phase of research and development . The theoretical and computational tools needed for hydrogen bomb design are closely related to those needed for inertial confinement fusion , but have very little in common with the more scientifically developed magnetic confinement fusion . Energy source ( edit ) Large - scale reactors using neutronic fuels ( e.g. ITER ) and thermal power production ( turbine based ) are most comparable to fission power from an engineering and economics viewpoint . Both fission and fusion power stations involve a relatively compact heat source powering a conventional steam turbine - based power station , while producing enough neutron radiation to make activation of the station materials problematic . The main distinction is that fusion power produces no high - level radioactive waste ( though activated station materials still need to be disposed of ) . There are some power station ideas that may significantly lower the cost or size of such stations ; however , research in these areas is nowhere near as advanced as in tokamaks . Fusion power commonly proposes the use of deuterium , an isotope of hydrogen , as fuel and in many current designs also use lithium . Assuming a fusion energy output equal to the 1995 global power output of about 100 E J / yr ( = 1 × 10 J / yr ) and that this does not increase in the future , which is unlikely , then the known current lithium reserves would last 3000 years . Lithium from sea water would last 60 million years , however , and a more complicated fusion process using only deuterium would have fuel for 150 billion years . To put this in context , 150 billion years is close to 30 times the remaining lifespan of the sun , and more than 10 times the estimated age of the universe . Economics ( edit ) While fusion power is still in early stages of development , substantial sums have been and continue to be invested in research . In the EU almost € 10 billion was spent on fusion research up to the end of the 1990s , and the new ITER reactor alone is budgeted at € 6.6 billion total for the timeframe between 2008 and 2020 . It is estimated that up to the point of possible implementation of electricity generation by nuclear fusion , R&D will need further promotion totalling around € 60 -- 80 billion over a period of 50 years or so ( of which € 20 -- 30 billion within the EU ) based on a report from 2002 . Nuclear fusion research receives € 750 million ( excluding ITER funding ) from the European Union , compared with € 810 million for sustainable energy research , putting research into fusion power well ahead of that of any single rivaling technology . Indeed , the size of the investments and time frame of the expected results mean that fusion research is almost exclusively publicly funded , while research in other forms of energy can be done by the private sector . In spite of that , a number of start - up companies active in the field of fusion power have managed to attract private money . Advantages ( edit ) Fusion power would provide more energy for a given weight of fuel than any fuel - consuming energy source currently in use , and the fuel itself ( primarily deuterium ) exists abundantly in the Earth 's ocean : about 1 in 6500 hydrogen atoms in seawater is deuterium . Although this may seem a low proportion ( about 0.015 % ) , because nuclear fusion reactions are so much more energetic than chemical combustion and seawater is easier to access and more plentiful than fossil fuels , fusion could potentially supply the world 's energy needs for millions of years . Despite being technically non-renewable , fusion power ( like fission power using breeder reactors and reprocessing ) has many of the benefits of renewable energy sources ( such as being a long - term energy supply and emitting no greenhouse gases or air pollution ) as well as some of the benefits of the resource - limited energy sources as hydrocarbons and nuclear fission ( without reprocessing ) . Like these currently dominant energy sources , fusion could provide very high power - generation density and uninterrupted power delivery ( because it is not dependent on the weather , unlike wind and solar power ) . Another aspect of fusion energy is that the cost of production does not suffer from diseconomies of scale . The cost of water and wind energy , for example , goes up as the optimal locations are developed first , while further generators must be sited in less ideal conditions . With fusion energy the production cost will not increase much even if large numbers of stations are built , because the raw resource ( seawater ) is abundant and widespread . Some problems that are expected to be an issue in this century , such as fresh water shortages , can alternatively be regarded as problems of energy supply . For example , in desalination stations , seawater can be purified through distillation or reverse osmosis . Nonetheless , these processes are energy intensive . Even if the first fusion stations are not competitive with alternative sources , fusion could still become competitive if large - scale desalination requires more power than the alternatives are able to provide . A scenario has been presented of the effect of the commercialization of fusion power on the future of human civilization . ITER and later DEMO are envisioned to bring online the first commercial nuclear fusion energy reactor by 2050 . Using this as the starting point and the history of the uptake of nuclear fission reactors as a guide , the scenario depicts a rapid take up of nuclear fusion energy starting after the middle of this century . Fusion power could be used in interstellar space , where solar energy is not available .

what is the primary fuel that would be used in fusion reactors
[ "Fusion processes require fuel and a highly confined environment with a high temperature and pressure, to create a plasma in which fusion can occur. In stars, the most common fuel is hydrogen, and gravity creates the high temperature and confinement needed for fusion. Fusion reactors generally use hydrogen isotopes such as deuterium and tritium, which react more easily, and create a confined plasma of millions of degrees using inertial methods (laser) or magnetic methods (tokamak and similar), although many other concepts have been attempted. The major challenges in realising fusion power are to engineer a system that can confine the plasma long enough at high enough temperature and density, for a long term reaction to occur, and for the most common reactions, managing neutrons that are released during the reaction, which over time can degrade many common materials used within the reaction chamber.\n" ]

A bumbling police inspector , who often arrests the wrong suspect , gets annoyed by Father Brown 's success . Father Brown uses the distinctive skills of his close friends as well as his own wits to solve cases , occasionally to the neglect of his more mundane parish duties . His vocation as a priest often gives him an insight to the truth , so that justice ( but occasionally , not the letter of the law ) may be served . His commitment to obeying the Seal of the Confessional often presents unique circumstances . The time period is when Britain was still struggling with deprivation and shortages in the aftermath of the hardships of the Second World War . The country still applies the death penalty as a sentence for capital crimes such as murder . Father Brown opposes capital punishment . Characters ( edit ) Father Brown -- Mark Williams ( 2013 -- present ) : a slightly crumpled , shambolic and mild - mannered Roman Catholic priest who , by appearance , is easily forgotten . His apparent innocence belies a playful wit and a razor - sharp intellect . His greatest strength , both as a priest and as a detective of crime , is his love and understanding of other people . He 's not there to judge , but to save souls . Mrs Bridgette McCarthy née Maguire -- Sorcha Cusack ( 2013 -- present ) : the Irish parish secretary at St Mary 's . She checks the facts for Father Brown , acts as his confidante on official Church business and everything else , defends him from the ire of the congregation , and makes sure he eats . She has a tendency to brag about her award - winning strawberry scones . Mrs McCarthy is a frequent gossip -- though claims she is not -- and often at odds with Lady Felicia , although she and Lady Felicia eventually admit to being close friends . She is married , but leaves her husband after he returns from having lived with another woman following the war . Lady Felicia Montague née Windermere -- Nancy Carroll ( 2013 -- 2018 ) : a bored socialite and Countess , apparently from an old recusant family , with a roving eye when her husband , Monty , is away . She is a staunch supporter of Father Brown and frequent nemesis of Mrs McCarthy , despite a grudging respect between the women . She left at the start of Series 5 when her husband is appointed Governor of Northern Rhodesia , but made a guest appearance in Series 6 , `` The Face of the Enemy '' . Sidney `` Sid '' Carter -- Alex Price ( 2013 -- 2018 ) : An artful dodger , Sid , is an occasional black marketeer , part - time crook and informant who becomes Lady Felicia 's chauffeur , and whom Father Brown makes the church 's handyman while trying to keep on the straight and narrow . However , his skills , and links to the criminal underworld of Kembleford , are often needed to solve a case . He made a guest appearance in Series 6 in the episode `` The Face of the Enemy '' . Zuzanna `` Susie '' Jasinski -- Kasia Koleczek ( 2013 ) : Father Brown 's part - time housekeeper , who lives in a nearby post-war Polish resettlement camp . Her true first name was revealed in the episode `` The Eye of Apollo . '' Lady Penelope `` Bunty '' Windermere -- Emer Kenny ( 2017 -- present ) : the wayward niece of Lady Felicia seeking refuge after being photographed leaving a sleazy nightclub with a married man and cited in divorce proceedings . Inspector Valentine -- Hugo Speer ( 2013 -- 2014 ) : head of the local police force , finds himself constantly torn between secret admiration for Father Brown and deep frustration with him . He would like to collaborate , but has been burnt once too often by Brown 's unorthodox moral code . Nevertheless , he comes to respect his methods and even admits , upon his departure , that he might miss Father Brown . Inspector Sullivan -- Tom Chambers ( 2014 -- 2015 ) : replaced Inspector Valentine , who was promoted to Detective Chief Inspector and went to London at the start of the second series . A somewhat arrogant man , Sullivan is even more exasperated by Father Brown 's meddling and contradicting his findings , but is eventually won over . Inspector Mallory -- Jack Deam ( 2016 -- present ) : the replacement for Inspector Sullivan . Like his predecessors , he is often exasperated by Father Brown , whom he sarcastically refers to as `` Padre . '' However , he is a far more zealous ( and occasionally resourceful ) detective , and chases after leads with great enthusiasm , even when they lead him to the wrong conclusion . Sergeant Albright -- Keith Osborn ( 2013 -- 2014 ) : played dogsbody to Inspectors Valentine and Sullivan . Sergeant Goodfellow -- John Burton ( 2014 -- present ) : continued playing the dogsbody for the Inspector with increasing involvement . Credited in the opening beginning in series 5 . M. Hercule Flambeau -- John Light ( 2013 -- present ) : nemesis of Father Brown ; jewel and art thief with seemingly no conscience . He and Father Brown have encountered each other at least once in every series ; in series four he reveals he has a daughter , Marianne Delacroix , whom he had never met .

Production ( edit ) The series is a BBC Birmingham production and filming for the first series of ten episodes of Father Brown began in the Cotswolds in summer 2012 . The BBC renewed Father Brown for a second series of ten episodes in 2013 . A third series of 15 episodes was commissioned in 2014 . A fourth series of ten episodes was commissioned in 2015 . In 2014 Father Brown was shown on various public television stations in the United States and on the satellite `` Film&Arts '' channel in South America . Conception ( edit ) BBC Daytime wanted a home - grown detective show for the afternoons on BBC1 . Initially , original ideas from writers were pitched , but the BBC wanted something that was less of a risk and was already well known . Father Brown had not been filmed since the 1970s with Kenneth More . Executive Producer John Yorke came up with the idea after hearing a radio documentary about G.K. Chesterton presented by Ann Widdecombe . Writers were given the choice of adapting an existing story or to come up with an original idea . Half of the first ten episodes made were loosely based on Chesterton stories . The Chesterton stories were set all over the world and at different times , but a decision was made to anchor the stories in a fixed place and time . The Cotswolds was chosen as it had few modern buildings and was close to the production base in Birmingham . The 1950s was chosen as the detective could solve the puzzle using his mind and knowledge of human nature instead of relying on modern technology . The lead writers , Rachel Flowerday and Tahsin Guner , created the world and the characters . Other writers contributed stand - alone scripts that were not part of a story arc . Significant changes were made in some of the episodes ostensibly based on the original works , including `` The Hammer of God '' , `` The Wrong Shape '' , and `` The Eye of Apollo '' . Filming ( edit ) Filming takes place in the Gloucestershire village of Blockley using the church of Saints Peter and Paul ( Church of England ) as the St Mary Roman Catholic church of the series and the vicarage transformed into presbytery for Father Brown 's residence . Other villages used are Winchcombe , Upper Slaughter , Kemerton and Guiting Power . Filming also took place at Winchcombe railway station on the heritage Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway . Sudeley Castle was the main location for `` The Eye of Apollo '' . Princethorpe College , once a Catholic convent , now a secondary school , was used to film `` St Agnes Convent '' in Series One Episode 6 . Filming for the second series included the Warwickshire village of Ilmington . Chastleton House and Berkeley Castle were used to portray Pryde Castle in the episode broadcast on 8 January 2014 . Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire provided the location for the final resting place of the famed rosary in the episode `` Mysteries of the Rosary '' airing 10 January 2014 . The gardens at Snowshill Manor featured in the same episode . `` The Time Machine '' episode , in series 3 , was based around the Warwickshire estate of Alscot Park . Filming has also taken place at Ashdown WW2 Camp , Evesham , Worcestershire where the TV series the Land Girls was also filmed . Laid out as a WW2 camp , Ashdown Camp is made up of 11 nissen huts , air raid shelters , and outbuildings . Also used were the 1930s portion of Shire Hall , Warwick , headquarters of Warwickshire County Council , Bloxham School in Oxfordshire and Worcester Guildhall .

The town covers a total area of 29 square kilometres ( 11 sq mi ) of land . The bay is a safe haven for sea vessels because of its natural deepwater harbour , protected by the Pelican Point sand spit , being the only natural harbour of any size along the country 's coast . Being rich in plankton and marine life , these waters also drew large numbers of southern right whales , attracting whalers and fishing vessels . The Dutch referred to it as Walvisch Baye and the English as Whale Bay . In its eventual formal incorporation , it was named Walfish Bay , which was changed to Walvish Bay , and ultimately to Walvis Bay . It has also been referred to as Walwich Bay or Walwisch Bay . The Herero people of the area called it Ezorongondo . A succession of colonists developed the location and resources of this strategic harbour settlement . The harbour 's value in relation to the sea route around the Cape of Good Hope had caught the attention of world powers since it was discovered by the outside world in 1485 . This explains the complicated political status of Walvis Bay down the years . The town is situated just north of the Tropic of Capricorn in the Kuiseb River delta and lies at the end of the TransNamib Railway to Windhoek , and on B2 road . Walvis Bay , with its large bay and sand dunes , is an important centre of tourism activity in Namibia . Attractions include the artificial Bird Island , centre of a guano collection industry , the Dune 7 sand dune , the salt works , the abundant birdlife , and a museum . Kuisebmund Stadium , home to two clubs in the Namibia Premier League , is also located in the city . The beach resort of Langstrand lies just a few kilometres north . The Walvis Bay Export Processing Zone is an important facet of the local economy .

There followed Bartolomeu Dias , who anchored his flagship São Cristóvão in what is now Walvis Bay on 8 December 1487 , on his expedition to discover a sea route to the East via the Cape of Good Hope . He named the bay `` O Golfo de Santa Maria da Conceição . '' However , the Portuguese did not formally stake a claim to Walvis Bay . Little commercial development occurred on the site until the late 19th century . During the scramble for Africa , the British Empire occupied Walvis Bay with a small area surrounding the territory . They permitted the Cape Colony to complete the annexation of the territory in 1884 , following initial steps which had been taken in 1878 . In 1910 , Walvis Bay , as part of the Cape Colony , became part of the newly formed Union of South Africa . Subsequently , a dispute arose with Germany over the exclave 's boundaries , which was eventually settled in 1911 , with Walvis Bay being allocated an area of 1,124 square kilometres ( 434 sq mi ) . Walvis Bay Church The exclave was overrun by the Germans during the South West Africa Campaign early in the First World War , but South African Forces eventually ousted the Germans in 1915 . Subsequently , Walvis Bay was quickly integrated into the new martial law regime established in South West Africa . South Africa was later awarded control ( a Class `` C '' mandate ) over South West Africa by the League of Nations to administer the territory . Civilian rule was restored in South West Africa in 1921 and administration of Walvis Bay was transferred to South West Africa under the South West Africa Affairs Act of 1922 . Despite the territory never having been part of German South West Africa , the Act stated that : `` the port and settlement of Walvis Bay , which forms part of the Cape of Good Hope , shall for judicial and administrative purposes be regarded as if it were part of the mandated territory of South West Africa '' . However , South Africa had also sought to annex South West Africa itself , and had presented such a proposal to the League of Nations . Consequently , in 1949 , the Act was amended to give representation in the Parliament of South Africa to whites in South West Africa . In 1977 , following increasing international pressure to relinquish its control over South West Africa , South Africa repealed the Act , but transferred control of Walvis Bay back to the Cape Province , thereby making it an exclave . From 1980 , it was represented in both the Provincial Council and the House of Assembly as part of the Green Point constituency in Cape Town , before becoming a separate constituency in 1982 . In response , the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 432 ( 1978 ) , which declared that `` the territorial integrity and unity of Namibia must be assured through the reintegration of Walvis Bay within its territory '' . In 1990 , South West Africa gained independence as Namibia , but Walvis Bay remained under South African sovereignty , with South Africa increasing the number of troops . However , in 1992 , the two countries agreed to establish a transitional Joint Administrative Authority for Walvis Bay and the Offshore Islands . The Authority was headed by two Chief Executive Officers , Nangolo Mbumba , then Secretary to the Namibian Cabinet , and Carl von Hirschberg , former South African Ambassador to the United Nations . In August 1993 , prior to the end of apartheid , the Multiparty Negotiating Forum in South Africa passed a resolution calling for `` the incorporation - reintegration of Walvis Bay and the Off - Shore Islands into Namibia . '' The Transfer of Walvis Bay to Namibia Act was passed by the Parliament of South Africa that year . Following the signing of a treaty between the two countries , South Africa formally transferred sovereignty of Walvis Bay and the Penguin Islands to Namibia on 1 March 1994 . Geography ( edit ) Climate ( edit ) Walvis Bay features the very rare mild variation of the desert climate ( BWn ) according to the Köppen climate classification . It is caused by the rain shadow of the Naukluft Mountains and the cooling effect of the coastal sea temperature by the Benguela Current . Walvis Bay receives only 13.2 millimetres ( 0.52 in ) average precipitation per year , making it one of the driest cities on earth . Despite its dry climate , the city is relatively humid . Average relative humidity throughout the year remains above 80 % . The warmest month is February with average temperature 17.9 ° C ( 64.2 ° F ) , while the coolest months are August and September with average temperature 13.2 ° C ( 55.8 ° F ) . The diurnal temperature range is also low , averaging only 5.7 ° C ( 10.2 ° F ) . As one of the effects of manmade climate change , there has also been considerable warming at the airport in recent years . On 17 May 2015 , the temperature at Rooikop near Walvis Bay International Airport reached 37.4 ° C .

when did walvis bay become part of namibia
[ "In August 1993, prior to the end of apartheid, the Multiparty Negotiating Forum in South Africa passed a resolution calling for \"the incorporation-reintegration of Walvis Bay and the Off-Shore Islands into Namibia.\" [25] The Transfer of Walvis Bay to Namibia Act was passed by the Parliament of South Africa that year.[26] Following the signing of a treaty between the two countries, South Africa formally transferred sovereignty of Walvis Bay and the Penguin Islands to Namibia on 1 March 1994.[27]" ]

They are friends with a local woman named Bea who spends her time painting pictures of the rabbits as well as the surrounding nature . Bea takes on a mother - like relationship with the rabbits due to the death of their mother and father . One day Peter accidentally leaves his jacket in McGregor 's garden and goes back to retrieve it . McGregor spots and catches him , but suddenly dies of a heart attack . Enthralled , Peter invites all of the woodland critters , and then takes over McGregor 's old house . Meanwhile in London , McGregor 's nephew Thomas works at Harrods department store where he waits for a promotion . He coldly accepts the news about his uncle 's death , but is infuriated over not getting the promotion and is fired for losing his temper , which proves to be as short as his uncle 's . When he learns that his uncle 's house is valuable , he decides to refurbish it so he can sell it and start his own toy store to rival Harrods . He kicks out Peter and his friends and begins to secretly wall up the garden , despite Bea 's objections . When Peter and Benjamin sneak back into the garden , Thomas catches the latter and attempts to drown Benjamin . Peter and the triplets rescue him and Thomas accidentally tosses the binoculars that Bea had given him earlier . Thomas and Peter start a war with each other by setting up traps and other offensive nuisances . Thomas and Bea end up falling in love with each other , which causes Peter to become jealous and wanting to separate them more . Peter soon angers Bea when he unintentionally ruins her paintings during one excursion , and soon she also turns on Thomas when his violent tendencies begin to show . This all culminates when Thomas throws dynamite at Peter 's burrow , and uses it to attack Peter in the garden , before telling him that his antics caused him to become aggressive . When Peter detonates the dynamite to prove to Bea that Thomas was using it , he ends up knocking down the tree on top of the burrow , which crushes Bea 's art studio . Thinking that Thomas was responsible for the detonation , Bea breaks up with him , and he goes back to London to work at Harrods again . Peter feels bad for what he has done , and upon learning that Bea intends to leave the neighborhood , he and Benjamin head to London to find Thomas at Harrods . They make up and rush back to the country where Peter reveals that he had activated the detonator , and he and Thomas apologize to Bea for their fighting . Thomas discovers that he can not go home because a snobbish couple , whom Thomas had an ugly encounter with prior , had just bought the house . Peter and his friends use their tricks to force the couple out of the house , allowing Thomas and Bea to move back in . In a mid-credits scene , Thomas sets up his own toy shop in the village , and Bea begins to write and illustrate books based on Peter and his friends .

Release ( edit ) Peter Rabbit was originally scheduled to be released on March 23 , 2018 , but it was moved up to February 9 , 2018 . Trailer criticism ( edit ) The first trailer received negative feedback from critics and fans of the character , many of whom labelled the film as being too modern and insulting to Beatrix Potter 's works . Collider slammed the trailer as `` garbage '' and a `` low brow ' comedy ' cringe fest . '' Stuart Heritage from The Guardian stated that `` the Peter Rabbit film looks like the result of some blisteringly inept manhandling ( ... ) there 's something genuinely harrowing about the sight of Peter Rabbit -- gentle , Edwardian Peter Rabbit -- thoughtlessly injuring some birds , or grabbing a pile of lettuce leaves and making it rain like a banker in a strip club , or literally twerking '' and argued `` there is no way on Earth that ( Beatrix Potter would ) have ever given the green light to a slow motion car crash like this . '' Metro writer James Baldock found that the trailer was `` so gut wrenchingly bad '' and that `` if the movie lives up to its two minute preview -- ( it ) is set to be the greatest abomination to grace the big screen since The Emoji Movie . '' He finished by writing `` Listen carefully , and you can just about hear the sound of Beatrix Potter , turning furiously in her grave . '' On November 7 , a new trailer for the United Kingdom was released . Reception ( edit ) Box office ( edit ) As of April 15 , 2018 , Peter Rabbit has grossed $113.9 million in the United States and Canada , and $185.2 million in other territories , for a worldwide total of $299.1 million , against a production budget of $50 million . In the United States and Canada , the film was released alongside Fifty Shades Freed and The 15 : 17 to Paris , and was projected to gross around $16 million from 3,725 theaters in its opening weekend , with some estimates as high as $25 million . It ended up making $25 million over the weekend , finishing second at the box office behind Fifty Shades ( $38.8 million ) . Critical response ( edit ) On Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 62 % based on 124 reviews , with an average rating of 5.8 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` Peter Rabbit updates Beatrix Potter 's classic characters with colorfully agreeable results that should entertain younger viewers while admittedly risking the wrath of purists . '' On Metacritic , the film has a weighted average score of 52 out of 100 based on 25 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A - '' on an A+ to F scale . `` Allergy bullying '' controversy ( edit ) In the first week after the film 's release , groups in multiple countries criticized it for `` allergy bullying '' and called for an apology from Sony . The accusations focused on a scene where Thomas McGregor -- whose character has a known severe allergy to blackberries -- is pelted with the berries until one enters his mouth , causing him to enter anaphylactic shock and grab for his Epipen . In response , Sony published a statement saying `` We sincerely regret not being more aware and sensitive to this issue , and we truly apologise '' .

Her counterpart in the original UK series of The Office is Dawn Tinsley . Her character is initially the receptionist at the paper distribution company Dunder Mifflin , before becoming a saleswoman and eventually office administrator until her termination in the series finale . Her character is shy , growing assertive but amiable , and artistically inclined , and shares romantic interest with Jim Halpert , whom she begins dating in the fourth season and marries and starts a family with as the series continues . Contents ( hide ) 1 Casting and character development 2 Character history 2.1 Seasons 1 -- 3 2.2 Seasons 4 -- 6 2.3 Season 7 2.4 Season 8 2.5 Season 9 3 Coworker relations 3.1 Jim Halpert 3.2 Roy Anderson 3.3 Michael Scott 3.4 Toby Flenderson 4 Appearances 5 Notes 6 References Casting and character development ( edit ) The character was originally created to be very similar to the British counterpart , Dawn Tinsley . Even minute details , such as how Pam wore her hair each day , were considered by executive producer , Greg Daniels . `` When I went in for The Office , the casting director said to me , ' Please look normal ' , '' recalls Jenna Fischer . `` Do n't make yourself all pretty , and dare to bore me with your audition . Those were her words . Dare to bore me . '' Heeding the advice , Fischer said little during the auditions , during which she was interviewed in character by show producers , in an improvisational format , to imitate the show 's documentary premise . `` My take on the character of Pam was that she did n't have any media training , so she did n't know how to be a good interview . And also , she did n't care about this interview , '' she told NPR . `` So , I gave very short one - word answers and I tried very hard not to be funny or clever , because I thought that the comedy would come out of just , you know , the real human reactions to the situation ... and they liked that take on it . '' `` When I went in to the audition , the first question that they asked me in the character of Pam -- they said , ' Do you like working as a receptionist ? ' I said , ' No . ' And that was it . I did n't speak any more than that . And they started laughing . '' Fischer found herself creating a very elaborate backstory for the character . For the first few seasons , she kept a list of the character history revealed on - screen by the creators , as well as her own imaginative thoughts on Pam 's history . She created a rule with the set 's hair and make - up department that it could n't look as though it took Pam more than 30 minutes to do her hair , and she formulated ideas as to who gave Pam each piece of jewelry she wore or where she went to college . Fischer also carefully crafted Pam 's quiet persona . `` Well , my character of Pam is really stuck , '' she explained to NPR . `` I mean , she 's a subordinate in this office . And so , I think that for her , the only way she can express herself is in the silences , but you can say so much by not saying anything . '' Originally meek and passive , the character grew more assertive as the seasons passed , prompting Fischer to reassess her portrayal . `` I have to approach Pam differently ( now ) , '' she explained in Season 4 , a defining season in which her character finally begins a long - awaited relationship with Jim and is accepted into the Pratt Institute . `` She is in a loving relationship , she has found her voice , she has started taking art classes . All of these things must inform the character and we need to see changes in the way she moves , speaks , dresses , etc . '' Character history ( edit ) Seasons 1 -- 3 ( edit ) At the beginning of the series , Pam and Roy have been dating for eight years and engaged for three years . Their open - ended engagement has become one of Michael 's running gags and a sore spot for Pam . Pam does not want her current job to become permanent , remarking that `` I do n't think it 's many little girls ' dream to be a receptionist . '' Pam is apathetic toward her work , evidenced by her frequent games of FreeCell on her office computer . However , in the pilot episode , she breaks down crying when Michael pulls an ill - advised prank by telling her that she will be fired . Michael has criticized Pam for simply forwarding calls to voice mail without answering and ( in a deleted scene ) for not sounding enthusiastic enough when speaking on the telephone . Pam is usually happy to abandon her work if asked to do something else by Jim . She will do extra , unnecessary work ( such as making a casket for a dead bird or paper doves for the Office Olympics ) to make other people happy . Despite the abuse she takes from Michael , she never goes any further than calling him a jerk in the pilot . In later seasons , however , she becomes more honest and forward with Michael and will often make sarcastic comments toward him . While engaged to Roy , Pam denies , or is in denial about , having any romantic feelings for Jim . When Jim confesses his love for her at the Dunder Mifflin `` Casino Night '' she turns him down . She later talks to her mom on the phone and says Jim is her best friend ( though she does n't say his name ) , and says `` Yeah , I think I am '' to an unheard question . She is interrupted by Jim , who enters and kisses her ; she responds by kissing back . Season three marks a turning point for Pam 's character : she gains self - confidence and appears less passive and more self - assured as the season progresses . In `` Gay Witch Hunt , '' the season 's opener , it is revealed that Pam got cold feet before her wedding and did not marry Roy after all , and that Jim transferred to a different Dunder Mifflin branch , in Stamford , shortly after Pam rejected him a second time , after their kiss . Pam moves into her own apartment , begins taking art classes , a pursuit that Roy had previously dismissed as a waste of time , and buys a new car , a blue Toyota Yaris . Jim returns to Scranton later on as a result of `` The Merger '' , and brings along a female co-worker , Karen Filippelli , whom he begins dating . Jim and Pam appeared to have ended all communication after Jim transfers to the Stamford branch ( aside from an episode in which Jim accidentally calls Pam at the end of the work day ) , and their episodes together following the branch merge are tense , despite both admitting to still harboring feelings for the other during the presence of the documentary cameras . Meanwhile , Roy vows to win Pam back . Roy 's efforts to improve his relationship with Pam are quite successful , but once Pam and Roy are back together , he falls back into old habits almost immediately . When Roy and Pam attend an after work get - together at a local bar with their co-workers , Pam , feeling that she should be more honest with Roy , tells him about Jim kissing her at , `` Casino Night . '' Roy yells , smashes a mirror , and trashes the bar . Pam , frightened and embarrassed by his reaction , breaks up with Roy immediately . Roy vows to kill Jim and in , `` The Negotiation '' , Roy unsuccessfully tries to attack Jim at work ( Jim is saved by Dwight 's intervention ) , and is subsequently fired . Pam later reluctantly agrees to meet Roy for coffee at his request , and after the polite but brief meeting , it appears that their relationship has ended amicably with Roy encouraging Pam to pursue Jim . Pam participates in an art show , but few people attend . Her co-worker , Oscar , brings his partner along who , not knowing that Pam is standing behind him , criticizes her work by proclaiming that `` real art requires courage . '' Oscar then goes on to say that courage is n't one of Pam 's strong points . Affected by this statement , Pam tells the documentary crew that she is going to be more honest , culminating in a dramatic coal walk during the next - to - last episode of the season , `` Beach Games '' , and a seemingly sincere speech to Jim in front of the entire office about their relationship . Michael also comes to the art show and reveals his erratically kind heart and loyalty by buying , framing and hanging Pam 's drawing of the Dunder Mifflin building in the office . In the season finale , `` The Job , '' she leaves a friendly note in Jim 's briefcase and an old memento depicting the ' gold medal ' yogurt lid from the Office Olympics , which he sees during an interview for a job at Corporate in New York City . While he is asked how he `` would function here in New York '' , Jim is shown to have his mind back in Scranton , still distracted by the thought of Pam . Jim withdraws his name from consideration and drives back to the office , where he interrupts a talking head Pam is doing for the documentary crew by asking her out for dinner . She happily accepts , visibly moved , abandoning a train of thought about how she would be fine if Jim got the job and never came back to Scranton . Karen quits soon after , becoming the regional manager at Dunder Mifflin 's Utica branch . Seasons 4 -- 6 ( edit ) In Season 4 , Pam retains the assertiveness she developed in the third season . She wears her hair down and has updated her old dowdy wardrobe . In the season 4 premiere , `` Fun Run '' , Jim and Pam confess that they have started dating after the camera crew catches them kissing . The office ultimately learns of their relationship in `` Dunder Mifflin Infinity '' . In `` Chair Model '' , after teasing Pam about his impending proposal , Jim tells the documentary crew he is not kidding around about an engagement and shows them a ring he bought a week after he and Pam started dating . In the next few episodes , Jim fake - proposes to Pam multiple times . In `` Goodbye , Toby '' , Pam discovers she 's been accepted at Pratt Institute , an art and design school in Brooklyn . In an interview later in the episode , Jim announces that he will propose to Pam that evening . Just as Jim is preparing to propose , however , Andy Bernard stands up and makes his own impromptu proposal to Angela . Having had his thunder stolen by Andy , Jim reluctantly puts the ring back in his jacket pocket , leaving Pam visibly disappointed as she was expecting Jim to propose that night . In the Season 5 premiere , `` Weight Loss '' , Pam begins her three - month course at the Pratt Institute . In this episode , Jim proposes in the pouring rain at a rest stop , saying that he `` ca n't wait '' . In `` Business Trip '' , Pam learns that she is failing one of her classes and will have to remain in New York another three months to retake it . Although Jim is supportive and tells her he will wait for her to come back `` the right way '' , she ultimately makes the decision to return home , saying that she realized she hated graphic design and missed Scranton . A deleted scene for the episode shows Jim looking through Pam 's graphic design projects , which he thinks are `` cool '' , as well as a notebook filled with pencil sketches , which he finds a lot more impressive than her graphic design projects , implying her talents lie in hand - drawn works . In `` Two Weeks '' , Pam agrees to become Michael 's first saleswoman in his not - yet - established company , The Michael Scott Paper Co. , as a supportive Jim looks on . When David Wallace makes an offer to buy the company Michael negotiates in order to get their jobs at Dunder Mifflin back instead , including adding Pam to the sales team . In `` Company Picnic '' , Pam , after dominating the company volleyball tournament , injures her ankle during a game and is taken to the hospital against her wishes . At the hospital , the camera crew is stationed outside an exam room while a doctor updates Jim and Pam on her condition . There is no audio as the camera shows Jim and Pam embrace , looking shocked and ecstatic . It is implied that she is pregnant and is confirmed in the Season 6 premiere , `` Gossip '' . Jim and Pam marry early in the season , at Niagara Falls , during the highly anticipated , hour long episode , `` Niagara '' . The ending of the episode , in which their co-workers dance down the aisle , is an imitation of a viral YouTube video -- JK Wedding Entrance Dance . Following the wedding , a multi-episode story arc begins in which it is revealed that Michael hooked up with Pam 's mother the night of the wedding . The two break up during `` Double Date '' , an episode that ends with Pam slapping Michael in response to his actions . In `` The Delivery '' of Season 6 , Pam and Jim have their first child , a daughter named Cecelia Marie Halpert . Jenna Fischer was granted naming rights by show producers , and chose to name her after her own niece . Season 7 ( edit ) In `` Counseling '' , Pam feels inadequate about her poor performance in sales and tricks Gabe into promoting her to a phony new salaried position called office administrator . In `` China '' , Pam tries to use her authority as office administrator to force building manager Dwight to stop his annoying cost - cutting measures . Pam threatens to move the office to a new building , which Dwight discovers does n't exist . Pam saves face , however , when Dwight secretly has his assistant provide her with a book on building regulations that proves Dwight 's measures were not allowed . The episode is another example of Dwight 's covert protectiveness and fondness for Pam ( as previously demonstrated in `` The Injury '' , `` Back from Vacation '' , `` The Job '' and `` Diwali '' ) ; Mindy Kaling said during an online Q&A session that Dwight has a soft spot for her that he does not extend to anyone else at the office . She also uses her position to buy Erin Hannon an expensive desk top computer to replace the terrible one she had to use for years , as well as discreetly giving Andy a new computer , and giving Daryll three sick days . At the end of the episode she proudly says that she is , `` Full on corrupt . '' In `` Goodbye , Michael '' , Pam almost misses saying good - bye to Michael , as she spends most of the day out of the office trying to price shredders . Jim figures out Michael 's plan to leave early and tells her by text . Pam reaches the airport in time and is the last person to see Michael before he leaves . Season 8 ( edit ) At the beginning of Season 8 , Pam is revealed to be pregnant with her and Jim 's second child , Philip Halpert . The child coincided with Jenna Fischer 's actual pregnancy . She begins her maternity leave after `` Pam 's Replacement '' . Pam returns in `` Jury Duty '' , where she and Jim bring Cece and Phillip into the office . In both `` Tallahassee '' and `` Test the Store '' Pam is shown helping , and developing her friendship with Andy . Season 9 ( edit ) Early in season 9 , Jim is restless about his life in Scranton and helps a friend start a Sports Marketing business , Athlead , in Philadelphia but he keeps it a secret from Pam until the third episode `` Andy 's Ancestry '' . Although Pam is happy for his decision , she is concerned about the fact that he had kept it a secret from her and she is later disturbed to hear about just how much of their money he had invested . Jim begins spending part of each work week in Philadelphia , but in `` Customer Loyalty '' , the strain of this on Pam is evident when she breaks down in tears , and is comforted by Brian , the boom mic operator of the film crew . In `` Moving On '' , Pam interviews for a job in Philadelphia to be closer to Jim , but she is turned off by the idea when her prospective new boss bears a striking resemblance in behavior to Michael Scott . Over dinner , Pam reveals to Jim that she does n't really want to move to Philadelphia after all . However , in `` Livin ' the Dream '' , when Athlead is bought out and Jim is offered a large sum of money for 3 months to pitch the company across the country , Pam overhears Jim refuse the opportunity because of her and appears to have mixed feelings about this decision . In `` A.A.R.M. '' , Pam tells Jim that she 's afraid that he will resent her for making him stay and that she might not be enough for him . Jim asks the camera crew to compile documentary footage of the two of them to show her . When she finishes the montage , which shows Jim taking back a letter he intended to give her with his teapot gift during Christmas ; Jim finally gives her that letter , and she reads it , visibly moved . In the series finale , which takes place a year later , she reveals to Jim that she secretly put the house on the market , so that they can move to Austin , Texas , and take his job back at Athlead ( now Athleap ) . Co-worker relations ( edit ) From her years working the front desk , Pam has become well - acquainted with the Dunder - Mifflin staff and is consistently shown to have a thorough understanding of her coworkers ' personalities , including the more eccentric individuals Dwight Schrute and Michael Scott . She uses this familiarity to manipulate them , often for their and the company 's best interests ( such as her giving the staff elaborate instructions on how to handle a heartbroken Michael in `` The Chump '' ) but also occasionally for her own . This familiarity plays a large part in her efficiency as office administrator and was crucial to her being promoted to the previously non-existent position . Jim Halpert ( edit ) Main article : Jim Halpert The `` will they or wo n't they '' tension between Jim and Pam is a strong storyline in the early episodes of The Office , encompassing much of Seasons 1 to 3 . In the opener of Season 4 , the two characters are revealed to be dating , and as such , other character romances , such as the romance between fellow co-workers Dwight Schrute and Angela Martin , begin to move more toward the forefront of episodes . In Season 6 , Jim and Pam are married in the season 's 4th and 5th episodes ( hour long ) , a feat considered noteworthy by many television critics , as bringing together the two lead love interests in a television series is often thought to be a risky venture . Their child is born in the second half of the season , during another hour long , `` The Delivery '' . Pam and Jim 's second child is born during season 8 . In season 9 , their marriage becomes strained when Jim takes up a second job in Philadelphia . They ultimately decide to leave Dunder Mifflin together so Jim can pursue his dream job . Roy Anderson ( edit ) Main article : Roy Anderson ( The Office ) When the series begins , Pam is engaged to her high school sweetheart Roy Anderson ; this engagement is revealed to be three years old and running . They finally set a date , but Pam calls off the wedding at the last minute . They get back together once , briefly , but Pam is much more assertive , and finally breaks up with him after he has a violent outburst . Roy is deeply flawed - he is overbearing , neglectful , dismissive of her desire to be an artist , and offers her sex as a gift on Valentine 's Day . Jim comments in Season 2 that Pam does not like to `` bother '' Roy with her `` thoughts or feelings '' . He tells the camera crew that the only two problems in Pam 's life seemed to be Roy and her job at Dunder Mifflin . In the early seasons , there is a great deal of tension between Jim and Roy , with Roy often acting threateningly towards Jim . In `` Basketball '' , when Jim starts to impress Pam with his basketball skills , Roy elbows Jim in the nose . In season 2 , when Jim encourages Pam to pursue a graphic arts internship offered by Dunder Mifflin , Roy objects to the opportunity and eventually convinces her that the idea is foolish . Pam ultimately calls off her wedding to Roy , but they remain friendly and he is determined to win her back by being less of a jerk . She reconciles with Roy at Phyllis 's wedding as a response to watching Jim date Karen . In an attempt at a fresh start with Roy , Pam comes clean about Jim kissing her during `` Casino Night '' . Roy flies into a violent rage and Pam ends the relationship on the spot . The next day , Roy attempts to attack Jim in the office but is stopped by Dwight 's pepper spray and is summarily fired . After losing his job , Roy meets Pam for coffee and says that even though Jim is dating Karen , she should at least make an effort to date him ( inasmuch as she called off the wedding because of him ) . In season 5 , Jim and Roy run into each other at a bar and Roy learns that Jim and Pam are engaged . The mood is somewhat awkward , but Roy is congratulatory , but then makes a somewhat passive - aggressive comment , seemingly meant to make Jim feel insecure about his current role in Pam 's life , which tempts him to drive to Pratt , where she is attending art classes . Jim gets on the freeway , but changes his mind and remembers that he trusts Pam . Jim did n't want to treat Pam the same way Roy treated her . Michael Scott ( edit ) Main article : Michael Scott ( The Office ) In the series pilot , Michael is overtly rude to Pam and at one point fakes her firing , leaving her in tears . He often makes suggestive if harmless remarks about her beauty and general appearance , and at one point lies to the camera that they used to date ( inspiring a horrified `` WHAT ? ? ? '' from Pam when an interviewer relays the message to her ) . However , his impulsive attempt to kiss her during Diwali is shot down and marked the end of any romantic dreams for Michael with Pam . Over time , the combination of Michael being supportive of her goals , her transition from a bad relationship with Roy to a great one with Jim as well as her finding a job she not only enjoys but is effective at in the office administrator position and Michael finding his own soulmate in Holly Flax made Pam soften her stance towards Michael , and the experience at the Michael Scott Paper Company further bonded them ( as did Michael 's decision to choose Pam instead of Ryan Howard as the only MSPC salesman to keep that job when Michael returned as Branch Manager ) . Pam was furious at Michael for dating her mom Helene , and excoriated him at length during `` The Lover '' before eventually slapping him in `` Double Date '' , but they once again were able to be civil to each other afterward . Pam does set up boundaries around her personal life that Michael ca n't cross , like telling him that he was n't Cece 's godfather . By Season 7 , Pam acts as something of a guardian angel for Michael , steering him away from ( numerous ) bad ideas and towards his ( fewer but real ) good ones , such as his successful efforts to propose to Holly . In Michael 's finale `` Goodbye , Michael '' , Pam spends the whole day looking for a shredder , believing that the next day Michael was leaving . As Michael takes off his microphone and heads down the airport concourse , Pam runs to him with no shoes and hugs him as he kisses her cheek . The two have a nice moment and he walks off , leaving her holding her shoes . She then tells the camera that he was happy , wanting to be an advanced rewards member , and was glad to be going home to see Holly . She then is there to watch Michael 's plane take off . In a deleted scene from `` The Inner Circle '' , we learn Pam is flattered that Michael named his new puppy `` Pamela Beagsley '' , and in `` The List '' she playfully teases Jim by calling their second child `` Little Michael Scott '' , further proving that the two have developed a genuine friendship . Toby flenderson ( edit ) Main article : Toby Flenderson Toby , the Human Resources Representative for Dunder Mifflin in the Scranton branch , has a secret crush on Pam . In `` A Benihana Christmas '' she gives him her Dunder - Mifflin bathrobe , a display of friendly affection , after he spent the day feeling bad that Dwight took his . In `` Night Out '' , Toby awkwardly rubs her knee while they share a laugh ( and while Jim sits just on her other side ) , and the rest of the office watches in horror . In his mortification , Toby immediately announces that he is moving to Costa Rica before jumping over the locked gate and fleeing . In `` Goodbye , Toby '' , he purchases a DSLR camera just to get a picture with Pam . On the eve of his departure , she confesses to the cameras that she always thought he was `` kind of cute '' . The crush receives less attention after Toby 's return . However , in `` Niagara '' , Pam and Jim are late for their wedding and he is visibly excited at the prospect that the wedding might not happen . In `` Finale '' , Pam and Toby dance with each other at Dwight 's wedding , with Toby beginning to cry as Pam comforts him . When she asks , `` is it me ? '' , he replies that `` it 's everything ! '' . Appearances ( edit ) Pam Halpert has appeared in every episode with the exceptions of `` Business Ethics '' ( except for the deleted scenes ) , `` St. Patrick 's Day '' , and `` New Leads '' in which only her voice is heard , and several season 8 episodes from `` Mrs. California '' to `` Pool Party '' , where she did not appear at all as Fischer was on maternity leave . Notes ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Pam Beesly 's full name is Pamela Morgan Beesly ( later Pamela Morgan Halpert ) . In `` The Lover '' Michael says to Pam , `` Pamela Morgan Beesly , you need to apologize to your mother right now . '' In `` Did I Stutter ? '' Jim says to Pam , `` You know what would energize me ? If you , Pamela Morgan Beesly ... '' References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : `` Halpert Baby Blog '' . Halpertbeesly.com . Archived from the original on 2016 - 05 - 27 . Retrieved 2012 - 11 - 30 .

When the sisters arrive , they were welcomed by their fellow freaks ; Elsa 's subordinate and confidante Ethel Darling ( Kathy Bates ) the bearded lady , her lobster - handed son Jimmy ( Evan Peters ) , Paul the Illustrated Seal ( Mat Fraser ) , the giantess Amazon Eve ( Erika Ervin ) , the legless Suzi ( Rose Siggins ) , pinheads Salty and Pepper ( Christopher Neiman and Naomi Grossman ) , the youngest Meep ( Ben Woolf ) , and the dwarf performers : ex-convict Toulouse ( Drew Rin Varick ) and Elsa 's most significant companion Ma Petite ( Jyoti Amge ) who was the smallest of the group . During the troupe 's first performance with the twins , the only spectators in the audience were wealthy socialite widow Gloria Mott ( Frances Conroy ) and her spoiled , mentally unstable son Dandy ( Finn Wittrock ) , who displayed an insalubrious fascination for the freaks , especially for Bette and Dot , who were romantically attracted by him after he tried to purchase them for $15,000 to Elsa . The disappearance of a detective , whom Jimmy had murdered in defense of the Tattlers earlier , left the police to enforce a citywide curfew in search for the culprit which would impact Elsa 's business . Other new members of the troupe include Dell Toledo ( Michael Chiklis ) , the strongman who was Ethel 's ex-husband and Jimmy 's birth father ; and his three - breasted wife Desiree Dupree ( Angela Bassett ) -- both whom were deputized by Elsa since Dell 's recent crime against a troupe in Chicago to reinstate the position of Ethel 's job due to her chronic alcoholism . When the twins were assigned as headliners of their second performance which attracted the audience to their popularity , Elsa 's jealousy and cruelty against them and the troupe drove her to selfish determination in achieving her personal desires . After Jimmy deny Dandy 's opportunity to join the troupe , Gloria , with the intent to console her son , mistakes a demented serial killer clown named Twisty ( John Carroll Lynch ) , who was responsible for the recent crimes that plagued around town , as a stray circus performer and brings him to surprise Dandy as his playmate . When Dandy peeks in Twisty 's belongings , however , the latter knocks him down and runs away back to his dwelling at the woods , where he has several kidnapped children for his personal performance ; his plan is to win back their attention against the freaks , who had cruelly taunted him in his past life as a former troupe member , leaving him devastated and hence fuelling him to attempt at his life , which resulted in his lower jaw mutilated after shooting himself in his mouth . Dandy follows Twisty and forms an allegiance with him after discovering the Twisty 's intentions . On Halloween after Meep was framed by the detective 's murder and killed on a prison assault , an old superstition tells the tale of a two - faced spirit Edward Mordrake ( Wes Bentley ) who claims a soul of a performer on Halloween . While Jimmy and the troupe holds a funeral for Meep , they meet and welcome Maggie Esmerelda ( Emma Roberts ) -- a young convict posed as a fortune teller from Philadelphia sent by her abettor and con artist Stanley ( Denis O'Hare ) , who intends to murder the freaks and sell their corpses to a dying human oddity museum bribed from its curator for profit . Elsa performs on Halloween night , unknowingly summoning Mordrake ; who goes around camp learning the sad tales of its performers . Coming to Elsa 's tent , she reveals her past life in Germany , where she worked as a dominatrix . She reveals that she was a victim of Hans Grüper , also known as Dr. Arthur Arden ( John Cromwell ) , who amputated her legs while filming a snuff film . Mordrake is about to choose Elsa to take to Hell , but he hears music and realizes Elsa is not the one . He instead visits Twisty , asking to learn his tale . After revealing his misdeeds , Mordrake kills Twisty . Now that his mentor is dead , Dandy gets more curious about killing and starts by killing his maid Dora ( Patti LaBelle ) , soon followed by a prostitute named Andy ( Matt Bomer ) . Dora 's daughter Regina Ross ( Gabourey Sidibe ) later visits Mott Manor looking for her mother . Gloria asks Dandy to see a therapist but he refuses to go anymore after the first visit . Gloria attempts to end the madness , but Dandy steals her gun , shoots her in the head and bathes in her blood . Stanley pressures Maggie to murder Jimmy and Ma Petite , but when she can not go through with either one , he turns to Dell . After Stanley blackmails Dell with the knowledge of his homosexual tendencies , Dell kills Ma Petite . Overhearing Elsa 's plans to help get rid of the twins with Stanley , Ethel confronts Elsa , accusing her of killing anyone who steals her spotlight . Ethel shoots Elsa in her wooden leg , finding out her secret . However , Elsa throws a dagger through Ethel 's eye , killing her .

Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) `` It feels like a Douglas Sirk movie ; it 's very 1952 presentational and then the horror is an unexpected jab . As opposed to last year , which was crazy camera work and comedy . This year feels different . '' -- Series co-creator Ryan Murphy on the fourth season In November 2013 , FX announced that the show had been renewed for a fourth season . Series co-creator Ryan Murphy hinted that clues about the fourth season would be hidden in the final episodes of the third season . In March 2014 , the season was revealed to be set at a carnival , according to co-executive producer / writer Douglas Petrie . It was also revealed that Lange will be playing a role similar to Marlene Dietrich . Murphy revealed that the season will take place in 1950 , adding : `` If you look historically what happened in the year 1950 , there 's some more clues in that year . It 's a period piece . We try and do the opposite of what we 've done before . Jessica Lange has already started practicing her German accent so I 'm very excited ! '' Murphy indicated that this season draws inspiration from Tod Browning 's Freaks and Herk Harvey 's Carnival of Souls . This season features the largest set ever constructed for American Horror Story , with Murphy stating : `` We had to build an entire city . We built an entire huge compound and then we had to build the interior of all those buildings on set . It 's all period . And it 's all based on ( production designer ) Mark Worthington 's immaculate research . '' Casting ( edit ) Ryan Murphy confirmed that Jessica Lange would be returning for a fourth season , although said to be in a reduced capacity . She portrayed Elsa Mars , the owner of the freak show . In November 2013 , Murphy said he approached Kathy Bates and Angela Bassett to return .

who plays the clown in american horror story season four
[ "After Jimmy deny Dandy’s opportunity to join the troupe, Gloria, with the intent to console her son, mistakes a demented serial killer clown named Twisty (John Carroll Lynch), who was responsible for the recent crimes that plagued around town, as a stray circus performer and brings him to surprise Dandy as his playmate. When Dandy peeks in Twisty's belongings, however, the latter knocks him down and runs away back to his dwelling at the woods, where he has several kidnapped children for his personal performance; his plan is to win back their attention against the freaks, who had cruelly taunted him in his past life as a former troupe member, leaving him devastated and hence fuelling him to attempt at his life, which resulted in his lower jaw mutilated after shooting himself in his mouth. Dandy follows Twisty and forms an allegiance with him after discovering the Twisty’s intentions." ]

It joins with the scapula above at the shoulder joint ( or glenohumeral joint ) and with the ulna and radius below at the elbow joint . Notice : When the arm is spun so that the thumb point to the outside of the body , meaning the palm of the hand looks forward then it is said the hand is supinated . But when the thumb remains in the inside and the palm looks backwards then it is said that the hand is pronated . In this diagram one hands is pronated and the other supinated in order to show how the ulna and the radius cross while doing this movement .

Thompson Center ( JRTC ) is located at 100 W. Randolph Street in the Loop district of Chicago and houses offices of the Illinois state government . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Design 3 Nearby transportation 4 Art 5 Proposed sale 6 Tenants 7 In popular culture 8 Sherman House Hotel 9 See also 10 References 11 External links History ( edit ) The building opened in May 1985 as the State of Illinois Center . It was renamed in 1993 to honor former Illinois Republican Governor James R. Thompson . The property takes up the entire block bound by Randolph , Lake , Clark and LaSalle Streets , one of the 35 full - size city blocks within Chicago 's Loop . In front of the Thompson Center is a sculpture , Monument With Standing Beast , by Jean Dubuffet . The Thompson Center is sometimes referred to as the State of Illinois Building . On February 13 , 2018 , Chicago Police Commander Paul Bauer was shot and killed , allegedly by Shomari Legghette , while Bauer was pursuing a suspect down a stairwell of the Thompson Center . Thompson Center behind City Hall ( from the Daley Center ) Inside view of the Thompson Center Design ( edit ) The Thompson Center was designed by Helmut Jahn of Murphy / Jahn now called JAHN Architects . It opened to mixed reviews by critics , ranging from `` outrageous '' to `` wonderful '' . The color of the street - level panels were compared to tomato soup . The 17 - story , all - glass exterior curves and slopes facing a plaza on the southeast corner of the property . The design simultaneity looks forward with advanced architectural tectonics ( of the time ) and back to recapture the grandeur of large public spaces . Visitors to the Thompson Center 's interior can see all 17 floors layered partway around the building 's immense skylit atrium . The open - plan offices on each floor are supposed to carry the message of `` an open government in action . '' Originally , the design called for curved , insulated ( double paned ) glass panels , but these were found to be prohibitively expensive . Flat , insulated glass had been suggested , but was dismissed by Jahn . Single - paned ( non-insulated ) , curved glass panels were eventually used , and resulted in the need for a more expensive air conditioning system , which remains very costly to operate , and is insufficient on hot days ; internal temperatures have reached as high as 90 ° F ( 32 ° C ) . The building is also bitterly cold in the winter ; in its early years , ice formed on the interior of some of the wall panels . The marble floor of the atrium initially developed unsightly water stains , an issue which has since been resolved . Nearby transportation ( edit ) The Clark / Lake ' L ' station , the busiest in the system , is housed between the Thompson Center and the 203 N. LaSalle building across the street . Orange , Green , Blue , Pink , Purple and Brown Line trains stop at the center . Three tunnels of the Chicago Pedway enter the building 's food - court concourse , connecting from to 203 North LaSalle Street , the Chicago Title and Trust Company and Chicago City Hall . Art ( edit ) The sculpture at the front entrance by French artist Jean Dubuffet sets the tone for this building that houses a tremendous art collection . The collection includes nineteen specially commissioned artworks funded by the State of Illinois Art - in - Architecture Program . The building also has over 150 of the state 's 600 works collected under the Percent for Art program . Under this program 0.5 % of the money designated for construction of state - funded public buildings is used for the purchase of art . The Illinois Artisan 's shop is also housed inside the building . Proposed Sale ( edit ) When he first came to office , Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich proposed selling the building to assuage the state budget . The proposal was heavily criticized . Lawmakers at first agreed to the plan , but later a $200 million mortgage was agreed to instead , payable over 10 years . The plan was declared unconstitutional by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan in June 2004 . The plan was set aside , although it had already cost the state $532,000 in legal fees . In 2015 , and again in 2017 , Governor Bruce Rauner also proposed selling the property , and a legislative committee to explore his request was announced by Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan in February 2017 .

Sherman House Hotel ( edit ) The location was previously the location of the Sherman House Hotel operated by Ernie Byfield . The hotel was demolished in 1973 and the site was used as a parking lot until the Thompson Center was constructed .

how many senate seats are up for election in 2018
[ "Elections to the United States Senate will be held November 6, 2018, with 33 of the 100 seats in the Senate being contested in regular elections. The winners will serve six-year terms from January 3, 2019, to January 3, 2025. Currently, Democrats have 23 seats up for election along with 2 independents who caucus with them. Republicans have 8 seats up for election. Two of the Republican seats are open as a result of Tennessee Senator Bob Corker's and Arizona Senator Jeff Flake's pending retirements. The seats up for election in 2018 were last up for election in 2012, although some seats may have special elections if incumbents die or resign, as has already happened in Alabama and Minnesota.[2] After the 2016 elections, some state election officials are trying to upgrade voting systems in time for this election.[3]" ]

Taken from her 1979 album Broken English , it was released as a single in October 1979 and has become one of her highest charted songs . It is featured on the soundtracks to the films Montenegro , Tarnation and Thelma & Louise . Faithfull also performed the song during a guest appearance in the episode `` Donkey '' from the fourth season of Absolutely Fabulous , in which God ( Faithfull ) sings the song in a dream to a miserable , dieting Edina . In 2016 , the Faithfull version was used in the finale of American Horror Story : Hotel . In an interview on ITV 's The South Bank Show aired on 24 June 2007 , Faithfull said that her interpretation was that Lucy climbs to the rooftop but gets taken away by `` the man who reached and offered her his hand '' in an ambulance ( `` long white car '' ) to a mental hospital , and that the final lines ( `` At the age of thirty - seven she knew she 'd found forever / As she rode along through Paris with the warm wind in her hair ... '' ) are actually in her imagination at the hospital . Thelma and Louise has a similar fatalistic theme . There is also a darker interpretation . Claire Dederer , writing for The Poetry Foundation , takes it as a given that Lucy Jordan commits suicide and explains her view in an insightful piece lauding Faithull 's version of the song .

The result of a long - standing controversy over slavery , war broke out in April 1861 , when Confederates attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina , shortly after Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated . The nationalists of the Union proclaimed loyalty to the U.S. Constitution . They faced secessionists of the Confederate States of America , who advocated for states ' rights to perpetual slavery and its expansion in the Americas . Among the 34 U.S. states in February 1861 , seven Southern slave states individually declared their secession from the U.S. to form the Confederate States of America . The Confederacy grew to include eleven states ; it claimed two more border states ( Kentucky and Missouri ) , the Indian Territory , and the southern portions of the Union 's western territories of Arizona and New Mexico , which was organized and incorporated into the Confederacy as Confederate Arizona . The Confederacy was never diplomatically recognized by the United States government , nor was it recognized by any foreign country ( although Britain and France granted it belligerent status ) . The states that remained loyal , including the border states where slavery was legal , were known as the Union or the North . The North and South quickly raised volunteer and conscription armies that fought mostly in the South over four years . During this time many innovations in warfare occurred , including the development and use of iron - clad ships , ultimately changing naval strategy around the world . The Union finally won the war when General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant at the battle of Appomattox , which triggered a series of surrenders by Confederate generals throughout the southern states . Four years of intense combat left 620,000 to 750,000 soldiers dead , a higher number than the number of American military deaths in both World Wars , Korea , Vietnam , Iraq and Afghanistan combined , and much of the South 's infrastructure was destroyed . The Confederacy collapsed , slavery was abolished , and 4 million slaves were freed . The Reconstruction Era ( 1863 -- 1877 ) overlapped and followed the war , with the process of restoring national unity , strengthening the national government , and granting civil rights to freed slaves throughout the country . The Civil War is arguably the most studied and written about episode in American history .

The Southern states viewed this as a violation of their constitutional rights and as the first step in a plan to eventually abolish slavery . The three pro-Union candidates together received an overwhelming 82 % majority of the votes cast nationally : Republican Lincoln 's votes centered in the north , Democrat Stephen A. Douglas ' votes were distributed nationally and Constitutional Unionist John Bell 's votes centered in Tennessee , Kentucky , and Virginia . The Republican Party , dominant in the North , secured a plurality of the popular votes and a majority of the electoral votes nationally , so Lincoln was constitutionally elected president . He was the first Republican Party candidate to win the presidency . However , before his inauguration , seven slave states with cotton - based economies declared secession and formed the Confederacy . The first six to declare secession had the highest proportions of slaves in their populations , a total of 49 percent . The first seven with state legislatures to resolve for secession included split majorities for unionists Douglas and Bell in Georgia with 51 % and Louisiana with 55 % . Alabama had voted 46 % for those unionists , Mississippi with 40 % , Florida with 38 % , Texas with 25 % , and South Carolina cast Electoral College votes without a popular vote for president . Of these , only Texas held a referendum on secession . Eight remaining slave states continued to reject calls for secession . Outgoing Democratic President James Buchanan and the incoming Republicans rejected secession as illegal . Lincoln 's March 4 , 1861 , inaugural address declared that his administration would not initiate a civil war . Speaking directly to the `` Southern States '' , he reaffirmed , `` I have no purpose , directly or indirectly to interfere with the institution of slavery in the United States where it exists . I believe I have no lawful right to do so , and I have no inclination to do so . '' After Confederate forces seized numerous federal forts within territory claimed by the Confederacy , efforts at compromise failed and both sides prepared for war . The Confederates assumed that European countries were so dependent on `` King Cotton '' that they would intervene , but none did , and none recognized the new Confederate States of America . Hostilities began on April 12 , 1861 , when Confederate forces fired upon Fort Sumter . While in the Western Theater the Union made significant permanent gains , in the Eastern Theater , the battle was inconclusive from 1861 -- 1862 . Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation , which made ending slavery a war goal . To the west , by summer 1862 the Union destroyed the Confederate river navy , then much of their western armies , and seized New Orleans . The 1863 Union Siege of Vicksburg split the Confederacy in two at the Mississippi River . In 1863 , Robert E. Lee 's Confederate incursion north ended at the Battle of Gettysburg . Western successes led to Ulysses S. Grant 's command of all Union armies in 1864 . Inflicting an ever - tightening naval blockade of Confederate ports , the Union marshaled the resources and manpower to attack the Confederacy from all directions , leading to the fall of Atlanta to William T. Sherman and his march to the sea . The last significant battles raged around the Siege of Petersburg. Lee 's escape attempt ended with his surrender at Appomattox Court House , on April 9 , 1865 . While the military war was coming to an end , the political reintegration of the nation was to take another 12 years , known as the Reconstruction Era . The American Civil War was one of the earliest true industrial wars . Railroads , the telegraph , steamships and iron - clad ships , and mass - produced weapons were employed extensively . The mobilization of civilian factories , mines , shipyards , banks , transportation and food supplies all foreshadowed the impact of industrialization in World War I , World War II and subsequent conflicts . It remains the deadliest war in American history . From 1861 to 1865 , it is estimated that 620,000 to 750,000 soldiers died , along with an undetermined number of civilians . By one estimate , the war claimed the lives of 10 percent of all Northern males 20 -- 45 years old , and 30 percent of all Southern white males aged 18 -- 40 . Causes of secession Main articles : Origins of the American Civil War and Timeline of events leading to the American Civil War The causes of the Civil War were complex and have been controversial since the war began . James C. Bradford wrote that the issue has been further complicated by historical revisionists , who have tried to offer a variety of reasons for the war . Slavery was the central source of escalating political tension in the 1850s . The Republican Party was determined to prevent any spread of slavery , and many Southern leaders had threatened secession if the Republican candidate , Lincoln , won the 1860 election . After Lincoln won without carrying a single Southern state , many Southern whites felt that disunion had become their only option , because they thought that they were losing representation , which would hamper their ability to promote pro-slavery acts and policies . Slavery Status of the states , 1861 States that seceded before April 15 , 1861 States that seceded after April 15 , 1861 Union states that permitted slavery Union states that banned slavery Territories Slavery was a major cause of disunion . Although there were opposing views even in the Union States , most northern soldiers were largely indifferent on the subject of slavery , while Confederates fought the war , in large measure , to protect southern society , and slavery was an integral part of it . From the anti-slavery perspective , the issue was primarily about whether the system of slavery was an anachronistic evil that was incompatible with republicanism . The strategy of the anti-slavery forces was containment -- to stop the expansion and thus put slavery on a path to gradual extinction . The slave - holding interests in the South denounced this strategy as infringing upon their Constitutional rights . Southern whites believed that the emancipation of slaves would destroy the South 's economy , due to the large amount of capital invested in slaves and fears of integrating the ex-slave black population . Slavery was illegal in much of the North , having been outlawed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries . It was also fading in the border states and in Southern cities , but it was expanding in the highly profitable cotton districts of the rural South and Southwest . Subsequent writers on the American Civil War looked to several factors explaining the geographic divide . Sectionalism Sectionalism refers to the different economies , social structure , customs and political values of the North and South . It increased steadily between 1800 and 1860 as the North , which phased slavery out of existence , industrialized , urbanized , and built prosperous farms , while the deep South concentrated on plantation agriculture based on slave labor , together with subsistence farming for poor freedmen . In the 1840s and 50s , the issue of accepting slavery ( in the guise of rejecting slave - owning bishops and missionaries ) split the nation 's largest religious denominations ( the Methodist , Baptist and Presbyterian churches ) into separate Northern and Southern denominations . Historians have debated whether economic differences between the industrial Northeast and the agricultural South helped cause the war . Most historians now disagree with the economic determinism of historian Charles A. Beard in the 1920s and emphasize that Northern and Southern economies were largely complementary . While socially different , the sections economically benefited each other . New Orleans , the largest cotton exporting port for New England and Great Britain textile mills , shipping Mississippi River Valley goods from North , South and Border states Protectionism Historically , southern slave - holding states , because of their low cost manual labor , had little perceived need for mechanization , and supported having the right to sell cotton and purchase manufactured goods from any nation . Northern states , which had heavily invested in their still - nascent manufacturing , could not compete with the full - fledged industries of Europe in offering high prices for cotton imported from the South and low prices for manufactured exports in return . Thus , northern manufacturing interests supported tariffs and protectionism while southern planters demanded free trade . The Democrats in Congress , controlled by Southerners , wrote the tariff laws in the 1830s , 1840s , and 1850s , and kept reducing rates so that the 1857 rates were the lowest since 1816 . The Whigs and Republicans complained because they favored high tariffs to stimulate industrial growth , and Republicans called for an increase in tariffs in the 1860 election . The increases were only enacted in 1861 after Southerners resigned their seats in Congress . The tariff issue was and is sometimes cited -- long after the war -- by Lost Cause historians and neo-Confederate apologists . In 1860 -- 61 none of the groups that proposed compromises to head off secession raised the tariff issue . Pamphleteers North and South rarely mentioned the tariff , and when some did , for instance , Matthew Fontaine Maury and John Lothrop Motley , they were generally writing for a foreign audience . States ' rights The South argued that each state had the right to secede -- leave the Union -- at any time , that the Constitution was a `` compact '' or agreement among the states . Northerners ( including President Buchanan ) rejected that notion as opposed to the will of the Founding Fathers who said they were setting up a perpetual union . Historian James McPherson writes concerning states ' rights and other non-slavery explanations : While one or more of these interpretations remain popular among the Sons of Confederate Veterans and other Southern heritage groups , few professional historians now subscribe to them . Of all these interpretations , the states ' - rights argument is perhaps the weakest . It fails to ask the question , states ' rights for what purpose ? States ' rights , or sovereignty , was always more a means than an end , an instrument to achieve a certain goal more than a principle . Territorial Crisis Further information : Slave and free states Between 1803 and 1854 , the United States achieved a vast expansion of territory through purchase , negotiation , and conquest . At first , the new states carved out of these territories entering the union were apportioned equally between slave and free states . It was over territories west of the Mississippi that the proslavery and antislavery forces collided . With the conquest of northern Mexico west to California in 1848 , slaveholding interests looked forward to expanding into these lands and perhaps Cuba and Central America as well . Northern `` free soil '' interests vigorously sought to curtail any further expansion of slave territory . The Compromise of 1850 over California balanced a free soil state with stronger fugitive slave laws for a political settlement after four years of strife in the 1840s . But the states admitted following California were all free : Minnesota ( 1858 ) , Oregon ( 1859 ) and Kansas ( 1861 ) . In the southern states the question of the territorial expansion of slavery westward again became explosive . Both the South and the North drew the same conclusion : `` The power to decide the question of slavery for the territories was the power to determine the future of slavery itself . '' Sen. Stephen Douglas , author of the Kansas -- Nebraska Act of 1854 Sen. John J. Crittenden , of the 1860 Crittenden Compromise By 1860 , four doctrines had emerged to answer the question of federal control in the territories , and they all claimed they were sanctioned by the Constitution , implicitly or explicitly . The first of these `` conservative '' theories , represented by the Constitutional Union Party , argued that the Missouri Compromise apportionment of territory north for free soil and south for slavery should become a Constitutional mandate . The Crittenden Compromise of 1860 was an expression of this view . The second doctrine of Congressional preeminence , championed by Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party , insisted that the Constitution did not bind legislators to a policy of balance -- that slavery could be excluded in a territory as it was done in the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 at the discretion of Congress , thus Congress could restrict human bondage , but never establish it . The Wilmot Proviso announced this position in 1846 . Senator Stephen A. Douglas proclaimed the doctrine of territorial or `` popular '' sovereignty -- which asserted that the settlers in a territory had the same rights as states in the Union to establish or disestablish slavery as a purely local matter . The Kansas -- Nebraska Act of 1854 legislated this doctrine . In Kansas Territory , years of pro and anti-slavery violence and political conflict erupted ; the congressional House of Representatives voted to admit Kansas as a free state in early 1860 , but its admission in the Senate was delayed until January 1861 , after the 1860 elections when southern senators began to leave . The fourth theory was advocated by Mississippi Senator Jefferson Davis , one of state sovereignty ( `` states ' rights '' ) , also known as the `` Calhoun doctrine '' , named after the South Carolinian political theorist and statesman John C. Calhoun . Rejecting the arguments for federal authority or self - government , state sovereignty would empower states to promote the expansion of slavery as part of the Federal Union under the U.S. Constitution . `` States ' rights '' was an ideology formulated and applied as a means of advancing slave state interests through federal authority . As historian Thomas L. Krannawitter points out , the `` Southern demand for federal slave protection represented a demand for an unprecedented expansion of federal power . '' These four doctrines comprised the major ideologies presented to the American public on the matters of slavery , the territories and the U.S. Constitution prior to the 1860 presidential election . National elections Beginning in the American Revolution and accelerating after the War of 1812 , the people of the United States grew in the sense that their country was a national republic based on the belief that all people had inalienable political liberty and personal rights which could serve as an important example to the rest of the world . Previous regional independence movements such as the Greek revolt in the Ottoman Empire , the division and redivision of the Latin American political map , and the British - French Crimean triumph leading to an interest in redrawing Europe along cultural differences , all conspired to make for a time of upheaval and uncertainty about the basis of the nation - state . In the world of 19th century self - made Americans , growing in prosperity , population and expanding westward , `` freedom '' could mean personal liberty or property rights . The unresolved difference would cause failure -- first in their political institutions , then in their civil life together . Nationalism and honor Abraham Lincoln 16th U.S. President ( 1861 -- 1865 ) Nationalism was a powerful force in the early 19th century , with famous spokesmen such as Andrew Jackson and Daniel Webster . While practically all Northerners supported the Union , Southerners were split between those loyal to the entire United States ( called `` unionists '' ) and those loyal primarily to the southern region and then the Confederacy . C. Vann Woodward said of the latter group , A great slave society ... had grown up and miraculously flourished in the heart of a thoroughly bourgeois and partly puritanical republic . It had renounced its bourgeois origins and elaborated and painfully rationalized its institutional , legal , metaphysical , and religious defenses ... When the crisis came it chose to fight . It proved to be the death struggle of a society , which went down in ruins . Perceived insults to Southern collective honor included the enormous popularity of Uncle Tom 's Cabin ( 1852 ) and the actions of abolitionist John Brown in trying to incite a slave rebellion in 1859 . While the South moved towards a Southern nationalism , leaders in the North were also becoming more nationally minded , and they rejected any notion of splitting the Union . The Republican national electoral platform of 1860 warned that Republicans regarded disunion as treason and would not tolerate it : `` We denounce those threats of disunion ... as denying the vital principles of a free government , and as an avowal of contemplated treason , which it is the imperative duty of an indignant people sternly to rebuke and forever silence . '' The South ignored the warnings : Southerners did not realize how ardently the North would fight to hold the Union together . Lincoln 's election Main article : United States presidential election , 1860 The election of Abraham Lincoln in November 1860 was the final trigger for secession . Efforts at compromise , including the `` Corwin Amendment '' and the `` Crittenden Compromise '' , failed . Southern leaders feared that Lincoln would stop the expansion of slavery and put it on a course toward extinction . The slave states , which had already become a minority in the House of Representatives , were now facing a future as a perpetual minority in the Senate and Electoral College against an increasingly powerful North . Before Lincoln took office in March 1861 , seven slave states had declared their secession and joined to form the Confederacy . According to Lincoln , the people of the United States had shown that they can be successful in establishing and administering a republic , but a third challenge faced the nation , maintaining the republic , based on the people 's vote . The people must now show : `` ... successful maintenance ( of the Republic ) against a formidable internal attempt to overthrow it . It is now for them to demonstrate to the world that those who can fairly carry an election can also suppress a rebellion ; that ballots are the rightful and peaceful successors of bullets ; and that when ballots have fairly and constitutionally decided , there can be no successful appeal back to bullets ; that there can be no successful appeal , except to ballots themselves , at succeeding elections . Such will be a great lesson of peace ; teaching men that what they can not take by an election , neither can they take it by a war ... '' Outbreak of the War Secession Crisis The first published imprint of secession The election of Lincoln caused the legislature of South Carolina to call a state convention to consider secession . Prior to the war , South Carolina did more than any other Southern state to advance the notion that a state had the right to nullify federal laws and , even , secede from the United States . The convention summoned unanimously voted to secede on December 20 , 1860 , and adopted the `` Declaration of the Immediate Causes Which Induce and Justify the Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union '' . It argued for states ' rights for slave owners in the South , but contained a complaint about states ' rights in the North in the form of opposition to the Fugitive Slave Act , claiming that Northern states were not fulfilling their federal obligations under the Constitution . The `` cotton states '' of Mississippi , Florida , Alabama , Georgia , Louisiana , and Texas followed suit , seceding in January and February 1861 . Among the ordinances of secession passed by the individual states , those of three -- Texas , Alabama , and Virginia -- specifically mentioned the plight of the ' slaveholding states ' at the hands of northern abolitionists . The rest make no mention of the slavery issue , and are often brief announcements of the dissolution of ties by the legislatures . However , at least four states -- South Carolina , Mississippi , Georgia , and Texas also passed lengthy and detailed explanations of their causes for secession , all of which laid the blame squarely on the movement to abolish slavery and that movement 's influence over the politics of the northern states . The southern states believed slaveholding was a constitutional right because of the Fugitive slave clause of the Constitution . These states agreed to form a new federal government , the Confederate States of America , on February 4 , 1861 . They took control of federal forts and other properties within their boundaries with little resistance from outgoing President James Buchanan , whose term ended on March 4 , 1861 . Buchanan said that the Dred Scott decision was proof that the South had no reason for secession , and that the Union `` ... was intended to be perpetual , '' but that , `` The power by force of arms to compel a State to remain in the Union , '' was not among the `` ... enumerated powers granted to Congress . '' One quarter of the U.S. Army -- the entire garrison in Texas -- was surrendered in February 1861 to state forces by its commanding general , David E. Twiggs , who then joined the Confederacy . As Southerners resigned their seats in the Senate and the House , Republicans were able to pass bills for projects that had been blocked by Southern Senators before the war , including the Morrill Tariff , land grant colleges ( the Morrill Act ) , a Homestead Act , a transcontinental railroad ( the Pacific Railway Acts ) , the National Banking Act and the authorization of United States Notes by the Legal Tender Act of 1862 . The Revenue Act of 1861 introduced the income tax to help finance the war . On December 18 , 1860 , the Crittenden Compromise was proposed to re-establish the Missouri Compromise line by constitutionally banning slavery in territories to the north of the line while guaranteeing it to the south . The adoption of this compromise likely would have prevented the secession of every southern state apart from South Carolina , but Lincoln and the Republicans rejected it . It was then proposed to hold a national referendum on the compromise . The Republicans again rejected the idea , although a majority of both Northerners and Southerners would have voted in favor of it . A pre-war February Peace Conference of 1861 met in Washington , proposing a solution similar to that of the Crittenden compromise , it was rejected by Congress . The Republicans proposed an alternative compromise to not interfere with slavery where it existed but the South regarded it as insufficient . Nonetheless , the remaining eight slave states rejected pleas to join the Confederacy following a two - to - one no - vote in Virginia 's First Secessionist Convention on April 4 , 1861 . Jefferson Davis , President of the Confederate States of America ( 1861 -- 1865 ) On March 4 , 1861 , Abraham Lincoln was sworn in as President . In his inaugural address , he argued that the Constitution was a more perfect union than the earlier Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union , that it was a binding contract , and called any secession `` legally void '' . He had no intent to invade Southern states , nor did he intend to end slavery where it existed , but said that he would use force to maintain possession of Federal property . The government would make no move to recover post offices , and if resisted , mail delivery would end at state lines . Where popular conditions did not allow peaceful enforcement of Federal law , U.S. Marshals and Judges would be withdrawn . No mention was made of bullion lost from U.S. mints in Louisiana , Georgia and North Carolina . In Lincoln 's inaugural address , he stated that it would be U.S. policy to only collect import duties at its ports ; there could be no serious injury to the South to justify armed revolution during his administration . His speech closed with a plea for restoration of the bonds of union , famously calling on `` the mystic chords of memory '' binding the two regions . The South sent delegations to Washington and offered to pay for the federal properties and enter into a peace treaty with the United States . Lincoln rejected any negotiations with Confederate agents because he claimed the Confederacy was not a legitimate government , and that making any treaty with it would be tantamount to recognition of it as a sovereign government . Secretary of State William Seward who at that time saw himself as the real governor or `` prime minister '' behind the throne of the inexperienced Lincoln , engaged in unauthorized and indirect negotiations that failed . President Lincoln was determined to hold all remaining Union - occupied forts in the Confederacy , Fort Monroe in Virginia , in Florida , Fort Pickens , Fort Jefferson , and Fort Taylor , and in the cockpit of secession , Charleston , South Carolina 's Fort Sumter . Battle of Fort Sumter Main article : Battle of Fort Sumter Mass meeting April 20 , 1861 , to support the Government at Washington 's equestrian statue in Union Square NYC Fort Sumter was located in the middle of the harbor of Charleston , South Carolina , where the U.S. fort 's garrison had withdrawn to avoid incidents with local militias in the streets of the city . Unlike Buchanan , who allowed commanders to relinquish possession to avoid bloodshed , Lincoln required Maj . Anderson to hold on until fired upon . Jefferson Davis ordered the surrender of the fort . Anderson gave a conditional reply that the Confederate government rejected , and Davis ordered P.G.T. Beauregard to attack the fort before a relief expedition could arrive . Troops under Beauregard bombarded Fort Sumter on April 12 -- 13 , forcing its capitulation . The attack on Fort Sumter rallied the North to the defense of American nationalism . Historian Allan Nevins said : The thunderclap of Sumter produced a startling crystallization of Northern sentiment ... Anger swept the land . From every side came news of mass meetings , speeches , resolutions , tenders of business support , the muster of companies and regiments , the determined action of governors and legislatures . '' However , much of the North 's attitude was based on the false belief that only a minority of Southerners were actually in favor of secession and that there were large numbers of southern Unionists that could be counted on . Had Northerners realized that most Southerners really did favor secession , they might have hesitated at attempting the enormous task of conquering a united South . Lincoln called on all the states to send forces to recapture the fort and other federal properties . With the scale of the rebellion apparently small so far , Lincoln called for only 75,000 volunteers for 90 days . The governor of Massachusetts had state regiments on trains headed south the next day . In western Missouri , local secessionists seized Liberty Arsenal . On May 3 , 1861 , Lincoln called for an additional 42,000 volunteers for a period of three years . Four states in the middle and upper South had repeatedly rejected Confederate overtures , but now Virginia , Tennessee , Arkansas , and North Carolina refused to send forces against their neighbors , declared their secession , and joined the Confederacy . To reward Virginia , the Confederate capital was moved to Richmond . US Secession map 1863 . The Union vs. the Confederacy . Union states Union territories not permitting slavery Border Union states , permitting slavery Confederate states Union territories permitting slavery ( claimed by Confederacy ) Attitude of the border states Main article : Border states ( American Civil War ) Maryland , Delaware , Missouri , and Kentucky were slave states that were opposed to both secession and coercing the South . West Virginia then joined them as an additional border state after it separated from Virginia and became a state of the Union in 1863 . Maryland 's territory surrounded the United States ' capital of Washington , DC and could cut it off from the North . It had numerous anti-Lincoln officials who tolerated anti-army rioting in Baltimore and the burning of bridges , both aimed at hindering the passage of troops to the South . Maryland 's legislature voted overwhelmingly ( 53 -- 13 ) to stay in the Union , but also rejected hostilities with its southern neighbors , voting to close Maryland 's rail lines to prevent them from being used for war . Lincoln responded by establishing martial law , and unilaterally suspending habeas corpus , in Maryland , along with sending in militia units from the North . Lincoln rapidly took control of Maryland and the District of Columbia , by seizing many prominent figures , including arresting 1 / 3 of the members of the Maryland General Assembly on the day it reconvened . All were held without trial , ignoring a ruling by the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Roger Taney , a Maryland native , that only Congress ( and not the president ) could suspend habeas corpus ( Ex parte Merryman ) . Indeed , federal troops imprisoned a prominent Baltimore newspaper editor , Frank Key Howard , Francis Scott Key 's grandson , after he criticized Lincoln in an editorial for ignoring the Supreme Court Chief Justice 's ruling . In Missouri , an elected convention on secession voted decisively to remain within the Union . When pro-Confederate Governor Claiborne F. Jackson called out the state militia , it was attacked by federal forces under General Nathaniel Lyon , who chased the governor and the rest of the State Guard to the southwestern corner of the state . ( See also : Missouri secession ) . In the resulting vacuum , the convention on secession reconvened and took power as the Unionist provisional government of Missouri . Kentucky did not secede ; for a time , it declared itself neutral . When Confederate forces entered the state in September 1861 , neutrality ended and the state reaffirmed its Union status , while trying to maintain slavery . During a brief invasion by Confederate forces , Confederate sympathizers organized a secession convention , inaugurated a governor , and gained recognition from the Confederacy . The rebel government soon went into exile and never controlled Kentucky . After Virginia 's secession , a Unionist government in Wheeling asked 48 counties to vote on an ordinance to create a new state on October 24 , 1861 . A voter turnout of 34 percent approved the statehood bill ( 96 percent approving ) . The inclusion of 24 secessionist counties in the state and the ensuing guerrilla war engaged about 40,000 Federal troops for much of the war . Congress admitted West Virginia to the Union on June 20 , 1863 . West Virginia provided about 20,000 -- 22,000 soldiers to both the Confederacy and the Union . A Unionist secession attempt occurred in East Tennessee , but was suppressed by the Confederacy , which arrested over 3,000 men suspected of being loyal to the Union . They were held without trial . War See also : List of American Civil War battles and Military leadership in the American Civil War County map of Civil War battles by theater and year The Civil War was a contest marked by the ferocity and frequency of battle . Over four years , 237 named battles were fought , as were many more minor actions and skirmishes , which were often characterized by their bitter intensity and high casualties . In his book The American Civil War , John Keegan writes that `` The American Civil War was to prove one of the most ferocious wars ever fought '' . Without geographic objectives , the only target for each side was the enemy 's soldier . Mobilization As the first seven states began organizing a Confederacy in Montgomery , the entire U.S. army numbered 16,000 . However , Northern governors had begun to mobilize their militias . The Confederate Congress authorized the new nation up to 100,000 troops sent by governors as early as February . By May , Jefferson Davis was pushing for 100,000 men under arms for one year or the duration , and that was answered in kind by the U.S. Congress . In the first year of the war , both sides had far more volunteers than they could effectively train and equip . After the initial enthusiasm faded , reliance on the cohort of young men who came of age every year and wanted to join was not enough . Both sides used a draft law -- conscription -- as a device to encourage or force volunteering ; relatively few were actually drafted and served . The Confederacy passed a draft law in April 1862 for young men aged 18 to 35 ; overseers of slaves , government officials , and clergymen were exempt . The U.S. Congress followed in July , authorizing a militia draft within a state when it could not meet its quota with volunteers . European immigrants joined the Union Army in large numbers , including 177,000 born in Germany and 144,000 born in Ireland . Union soldiers before Marye 's Heights , Second Fredericksburg Confederate dead overrun at Marye 's Heights , reoccupied next day May 4 , 1863 When the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect in January 1863 , ex-slaves were energetically recruited by the states , and used to meet the state quotas . States and local communities offered higher and higher cash bonuses for white volunteers . Congress tightened the law in March 1863 . Men selected in the draft could provide substitutes or , until mid-1864 , pay commutation money . Many eligibles pooled their money to cover the cost of anyone drafted . Families used the substitute provision to select which man should go into the army and which should stay home . There was much evasion and overt resistance to the draft , especially in Catholic areas . The great draft riot in New York City in July 1863 involved Irish immigrants who had been signed up as citizens to swell the vote of the city 's Democratic political machine , not realizing it made them liable for the draft . Of the 168,649 men procured for the Union through the draft , 117,986 were substitutes , leaving only 50,663 who had their personal services conscripted . In both the North and South , the draft laws were highly unpopular . In the North , some 120,000 men evaded conscription , many of them fleeing to Canada , and another 280,000 soldiers deserted during the war . At least 100,000 Southerners deserted , or about 10 percent . In the South , many men deserted temporarily to take care of their distressed families , then returned to their units . In the North , `` bounty jumpers '' enlisted to get the generous bonus , deserted , then went back to a second recruiting station under a different name to sign up again for a second bonus ; 141 were caught and executed . Rioters attacking a building during the New York anti-draft riots of 1863 From a tiny frontier force in 1860 , the Union and Confederate armies had grown into the `` largest and most efficient armies in the world '' within a few years . European observers at the time dismissed them as amateur and unprofessional , but British historian John Keegan 's assessment is that each outmatched the French , Prussian and Russian armies of the time , and but for the Atlantic , would have threatened any of them with defeat . Motivation Perman and Taylor ( 2010 ) say that historians are of two minds on why millions of men seemed so eager to fight , suffer and die over four years : Some historians emphasize that Civil War soldiers were driven by political ideology , holding firm beliefs about the importance of liberty , Union , or state rights , or about the need to protect or to destroy slavery . Others point to less overtly political reasons to fight , such as the defense of one 's home and family , or the honor and brotherhood to be preserved when fighting alongside other men . Most historians agree that no matter what a soldier thought about when he went into the war , the experience of combat affected him profoundly and sometimes altered his reasons for continuing the fight . Prisoners Main article : American Civil War prison camps At the start of the civil war , a system of paroles operated . Captives agreed not to fight until they were officially exchanged . Meanwhile , they were held in camps run by their own army where they were paid but not allowed to perform any military duties . The system of exchanges collapsed in 1863 when the Confederacy refused to exchange black prisoners . After that , about 56,000 of the 409,000 POWs died in prisons during the war , accounting for nearly 10 percent of the conflict 's fatalities . Naval War The small U.S. Navy of 1861 was rapidly enlarged to 6,000 officers and 45,000 men in 1865 , with 671 vessels , having a tonnage of 510,396 . Its mission was to blockade Confederate ports , take control of the river system , defend against Confederate raiders on the high seas , and be ready for a possible war with the British Royal Navy . Meanwhile , the main riverine war was fought in the West , where a series of major rivers gave access to the Confederate heartland , if the U.S. Navy could take control . In the East , the Navy supplied and moved army forces about , and occasionally shelled Confederate installations . Union blockade Main article : Union blockade General Scott 's `` Anaconda Plan '' 1861 . Tightening naval blockade , forcing rebels out of Missouri along the Mississippi River , Kentucky Unionists sit on the fence , idled cotton industry illustrated in Georgia . By early 1861 , General Winfield Scott had devised the Anaconda Plan to win the war with as little bloodshed as possible . Scott argued that a Union blockade of the main ports would weaken the Confederate economy . Lincoln adopted parts of the plan , but he overruled Scott 's caution about 90 - day volunteers . Public opinion , however , demanded an immediate attack by the army to capture Richmond . In April 1861 , Lincoln announced the Union blockade of all Southern ports ; commercial ships could not get insurance and regular traffic ended . The South blundered in embargoing cotton exports in 1861 before the blockade was effective ; by the time they realized the mistake , it was too late . `` King Cotton '' was dead , as the South could export less than 10 percent of its cotton . The blockade shut down the ten Confederate seaports with railheads that moved almost all the cotton , especially New Orleans , Mobile , and Charleston . By June 1861 , warships were stationed off the principal Southern ports , and a year later nearly 300 ships were in service . Modern Navy evolves The Civil War occurred during the early stages of the industrial revolution and subsequently many naval innovations emerged during this time , most notably the advent of the ironclad warship . It began when the Confederacy , knowing they had to meet or match the Union 's naval superiority , responded to the Union blockade by building or converting more than 130 vessels , including twenty - six ironclads and floating batteries . Only half of these saw active service . Many were equipped with ram bows , creating `` ram fever '' among Union squadrons wherever they threatened . But in the face of overwhelming Union superiority and the Union 's own ironclad warships , they were unsuccessful . The Confederacy experimented with a submarine , which did not work well , and with building an ironclad ship , the CSS Virginia , which was based on rebuilding a sunken Union ship , the Merrimack . On its first foray on March 8 , 1862 , the Virginia inflicted significant damage to the Union 's wooden fleet , but the next day the first Union ironclad , the USS Monitor , arrived to challenge it in the Chesapeake Bay . The resulting three hour battle between the Ironclads was a draw , but it marked the worldwide transition to ironclad warships . Not long after the battle the Confederacy was forced to scuttle the Virginia to prevent its capture , while the Union built many copies of the Monitor . Lacking the technology and infrastructure to build effective warships , the Confederacy attempted to obtain warships from Britain . Blockade runners Main article : Blockade runners of the American Civil War British investors built small , fast , steam - driven blockade runners that traded arms and luxuries brought in from Britain through Bermuda , Cuba , and the Bahamas in return for high - priced cotton . Many of the ships were designed for speed and were so small that only a small amount of cotton went out . When the Union Navy seized a blockade runner , the ship and cargo were condemned as a Prize of war and sold , with the proceeds given to the Navy sailors ; the captured crewmen were mostly British and they were simply released . The Southern economy nearly collapsed during the war . There were multiple reasons for this : the severe deterioration of food supplies , especially in cities , the failure of Southern railroads , the loss of control of the main rivers , foraging by Northern armies , and the seizure of animals and crops by Confederate armies . Most historians agree that the blockade was a major factor in ruining the Confederate economy , however , Wise argues that the blockade runners provided just enough of a lifeline to allow Lee to continue fighting for additional months , thanks to fresh supplies of 400,000 rifles , lead , blankets , and boots that the homefront economy could no longer supply . Gunline of nine Union ironclads . South Atlantic Blockading Squadron off Charleston . Continuous blockade of all major ports was sustained by North 's overwhelming war production . Economic impact Surdam argues that the blockade was a powerful weapon that eventually ruined the Southern economy , at the cost of few lives in combat . Practically , the entire Confederate cotton crop was useless ( although it was sold to Union traders ) , costing the Confederacy its main source of income . Critical imports were scarce and the coastal trade was largely ended as well . The measure of the blockade 's success was not the few ships that slipped through , but the thousands that never tried it . Merchant ships owned in Europe could not get insurance and were too slow to evade the blockade ; they simply stopped calling at Confederate ports . To fight an offensive war , the Confederacy purchased ships from Britain , converted them to warships , and raided American merchant ships in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans . Insurance rates skyrocketed and the American flag virtually disappeared from international waters . However , the same ships were reflagged with European flags and continued unmolested . After the war , the U.S. demanded that Britain pay for the damage done , and Britain paid the U.S. $15 million in 1871 . Rivers The 1862 Union strategy called for simultaneous advances along four axes : McClellan would lead the main thrust in Virginia towards Richmond . Ohio forces would advance through Kentucky into Tennessee . The Missouri Department would drive south along the Mississippi River . The westernmost attack would originate from Kansas . Clashes on the rivers were melees of ironclads , cottonclads , gunboats and rams , complicated by torpedoes and by fire rafts . Ulysses Grant used river transport and Andrew Foote 's gunboats of the Western Flotilla to threaten the Confederacy 's `` Gibraltar of the West '' at Columbus , Kentucky . Though rebuffed at Belmont , Grant cut off Columbus . The Confederates , lacking their own gunboats , were forced to retreat and the Union took control of western Kentucky in March 1862 . In addition to ocean - going warships coming up the Mississippi , the Union Navy used timberclads , tinclads , and armored gunboats . Shipyards at Cairo , Illinois , and St. Louis built new boats or modified steamboats for action . They took control of the Red , Tennessee , Cumberland , Mississippi , and Ohio rivers after victories at Fort Henry ( February 6 , 1862 ) and Fort Donelson ( February 11 to 16 , 1862 ) , and supplied Grant 's forces as he moved into Tennessee . At Shiloh ( Pittsburg Landing ) , in Tennessee in April 1862 , the Confederates made a surprise attack that pushed Union forces against the river as night fell . Overnight , the Navy landed additional reinforcements , and Grant counter-attacked . Grant and the Union won a decisive victory -- the first battle with the high casualty rates that would repeat over and over . Memphis fell to Union forces on June 6 , 1862 , and became a key base for further advances south along the Mississippi River . On April 24 , 1862 , U.S. Naval forces under Farragut ran past Confederate defenses south of New Orleans . Confederate forces abandoned the city , giving the Union a critical anchor in the deep South . Naval forces assisted Grant in the long , complex Vicksburg Campaign that resulted in the Confederates surrendering at Vicksburg , Mississippi in July 1863 , and in the Union fully controlling the Mississippi River soon after . Eastern Theater For more details on this topic , see Eastern Theater of the American Civil War . In one of the first highly visible battles , a march by Union troops under the command of Maj. Gen. Irvin McDowell on the Confederate forces near Washington was repulsed . Left : The Battle of Antietam , the Civil War 's deadliest one - day fight . Union troops committed piecemeal had little effect . Right : Confederate ironclads at Norfolk and New Orleans dispersed blockade , until Union ironclads could defeat them . Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan took command of the Union Army of the Potomac on July 26 ( he was briefly general - in - chief of all the Union armies , but was subsequently relieved of that post in favor of Maj. Gen. Henry W. Halleck ) , and the war began in earnest in 1862 . Upon the strong urging of President Lincoln to begin offensive operations , McClellan attacked Virginia in the spring of 1862 by way of the peninsula between the York River and James River , southeast of Richmond . Although McClellan 's army reached the gates of Richmond in the Peninsula Campaign , Johnston halted his advance at the Battle of Seven Pines , then General Robert E. Lee and top subordinates James Longstreet and Stonewall Jackson defeated McClellan in the Seven Days Battles and forced his retreat . The Northern Virginia Campaign , which included the Second Battle of Bull Run , ended in yet another victory for the South . McClellan resisted General - in - Chief Halleck 's orders to send reinforcements to John Pope 's Union Army of Virginia , which made it easier for Lee 's Confederates to defeat twice the number of combined enemy troops . Emboldened by Second Bull Run , the Confederacy made its first invasion of the North . General Lee led 45,000 men of the Army of Northern Virginia across the Potomac River into Maryland on September 5 . Lincoln then restored Pope 's troops to McClellan . McClellan and Lee fought at the Battle of Antietam near Sharpsburg , Maryland , on September 17 , 1862 , the bloodiest single day in United States military history . Lee 's army , checked at last , returned to Virginia before McClellan could destroy it . Antietam is considered a Union victory because it halted Lee 's invasion of the North and provided an opportunity for Lincoln to announce his Emancipation Proclamation . Union forces performing a bayonet charge , 1862 When the cautious McClellan failed to follow up on Antietam , he was replaced by Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside . Burnside was soon defeated at the Battle of Fredericksburg on December 13 , 1862 , when more than 12,000 Union soldiers were killed or wounded during repeated futile frontal assaults against Marye 's Heights . After the battle , Burnside was replaced by Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker . Hooker , too , proved unable to defeat Lee 's army ; despite outnumbering the Confederates by more than two to one , he was humiliated in the Battle of Chancellorsville in May 1863 . Gen. Stonewall Jackson was shot in the arm by accidental friendly fire during the battle and subsequently died of complications . Gen. Hooker was replaced by Maj. Gen. George Meade during Lee 's second invasion of the North , in June . Meade defeated Lee at the Battle of Gettysburg ( July 1 to 3 , 1863 ) . This was the bloodiest battle of the war , and has been called the war 's turning point . Pickett 's Charge on July 3 is often considered the high - water mark of the Confederacy because it signaled the collapse of serious Confederate threats of victory . Lee 's army suffered 28,000 casualties ( versus Meade 's 23,000 ) . However , Lincoln was angry that Meade failed to intercept Lee 's retreat , and after Meade 's inconclusive fall campaign , Lincoln turned to the Western Theater for new leadership . At the same time , the Confederate stronghold of Vicksburg surrendered , giving the Union control of the Mississippi River , permanently isolating the western Confederacy , and producing the new leader Lincoln needed , Ulysses S. Grant . Western Theater For more details on this topic , see Western Theater of the American Civil War . While the Confederate forces had numerous successes in the Eastern Theater , they were defeated many times in the West . They were driven from Missouri early in the war as a result of the Battle of Pea Ridge . Leonidas Polk 's invasion of Columbus , Kentucky ended Kentucky 's policy of neutrality and turned that state against the Confederacy . Nashville and central Tennessee fell to the Union early in 1862 , leading to attrition of local food supplies and livestock and a breakdown in social organization . Left : The Battle of Chickamauga , the highest two - day losses . Confederate victory held off Union offensive for two months . Right : New Orleans captured . Union ironclads forced passage , sank Confederate fleet , destroyed batteries , held docks for Army . The Mississippi was opened to Union traffic to the southern border of Tennessee with the taking of Island No. 10 and New Madrid , Missouri , and then Memphis , Tennessee . In April 1862 , the Union Navy captured New Orleans , which allowed Union forces to begin moving up the Mississippi . Only the fortress city of Vicksburg , Mississippi , prevented Union control of the entire river . General Braxton Bragg 's second Confederate invasion of Kentucky ended with a meaningless victory over Maj. Gen. Don Carlos Buell at the Battle of Perryville , although Bragg was forced to end his attempt at invading Kentucky and retreat due to lack of support for the Confederacy in that state . Bragg was narrowly defeated by Maj. Gen. William Rosecrans at the Battle of Stones River in Tennessee . The one clear Confederate victory in the West was the Battle of Chickamauga . Bragg , reinforced by Lt. Gen. James Longstreet 's corps ( from Lee 's army in the east ) , defeated Rosecrans , despite the heroic defensive stand of Maj. Gen. George Henry Thomas . Rosecrans retreated to Chattanooga , which Bragg then besieged . The Union 's key strategist and tactician in the West was Ulysses S. Grant , who won victories at Forts Henry and Donelson ( by which the Union seized control of the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers ) ; the Battle of Shiloh ; and the Battle of Vicksburg , which cemented Union control of the Mississippi River and is considered one of the turning points of the war . Grant marched to the relief of Rosecrans and defeated Bragg at the Third Battle of Chattanooga , driving Confederate forces out of Tennessee and opening a route to Atlanta and the heart of the Confederacy . Trans - Mississippi For more details on Missouri in the Civil War , see Trans - Mississippi Theater of the American Civil War . Left : Quantrill 's Raid captured a hotel in free - state Kansas for a day in a town of 2,000 , burned 185 buildings , killed 182 men and boys . Right : Nathaniel Lyon secured St. Louis docks and arsenal , led Union forces to expel Missouri Confederate forces and government . Extensive guerrilla warfare characterized the trans - Mississippi region , as the Confederacy lacked the troops and the logistics to support regular armies that could challenge Union control . Roving Confederate bands such as Quantrill 's Raiders terrorized the countryside , striking both military installations and civilian settlements . The `` Sons of Liberty '' and `` Order of the American Knights '' attacked pro-Union people , elected officeholders , and unarmed uniformed soldiers . These partisans could not be entirely driven out of the state of Missouri until an entire regular Union infantry division was engaged . By 1864 , these violent activities harmed the nationwide anti-war movement organizing against the re-election of Lincoln . Missouri not only stayed in the Union , Lincoln took 70 percent of the vote for re-election . Numerous small - scale military actions south and west of Missouri sought to control Indian Territory and New Mexico Territory for the Union . The Union repulsed Confederate incursions into New Mexico in 1862 , and the exiled Arizona government withdrew into Texas . In the Indian Territory , civil war broke out within tribes . About 12,000 Indian warriors fought for the Confederacy , and smaller numbers for the Union . The most prominent Cherokee was Brigadier General Stand Watie , the last Confederate general to surrender . After the fall of Vicksburg in July 1863 , General Kirby Smith in Texas was informed by Jefferson Davis that he could expect no further help from east of the Mississippi River . Although he lacked resources to beat Union armies , he built up a formidable arsenal at Tyler , along with his own Kirby Smithdom economy , a virtual `` independent fiefdom '' in Texas , including railroad construction and international smuggling . The Union in turn did not directly engage him . Its 1864 Red River Campaign to take Shreveport , Louisiana was a failure and Texas remained in Confederate hands throughout the war . End of the War Conquest of Virginia At the beginning of 1864 , Lincoln made Grant commander of all Union armies . Grant made his headquarters with the Army of the Potomac , and put Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman in command of most of the western armies . Grant understood the concept of total war and believed , along with Lincoln and Sherman , that only the utter defeat of Confederate forces and their economic base would end the war . This was total war not in killing civilians but rather in taking provisions and forage and destroying homes , farms , and railroads , that Grant said `` would otherwise have gone to the support of secession and rebellion . This policy I believe exercised a material influence in hastening the end . '' Grant devised a coordinated strategy that would strike at the entire Confederacy from multiple directions . Generals George Meade and Benjamin Butler were ordered to move against Lee near Richmond , General Franz Sigel ( and later Philip Sheridan ) were to attack the Shenandoah Valley , General Sherman was to capture Atlanta and march to the sea ( the Atlantic Ocean ) , Generals George Crook and William W. Averell were to operate against railroad supply lines in West Virginia , and Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks was to capture Mobile , Alabama . These dead soldiers -- from Ewell 's May 1864 attack at Spotsylvania -- delayed Grant 's advance on Richmond in the Overland Campaign . The Peacemakers by George Peter Alexander Healy portrays Sherman , Grant , Lincoln , and Porter discussing plans for the last weeks of the Civil War aboard the steamer River Queen in March 1865 . Grant 's army set out on the Overland Campaign with the goal of drawing Lee into a defense of Richmond , where they would attempt to pin down and destroy the Confederate army . The Union army first attempted to maneuver past Lee and fought several battles , notably at the Wilderness , Spotsylvania , and Cold Harbor . These battles resulted in heavy losses on both sides , and forced Lee 's Confederates to fall back repeatedly . An attempt to outflank Lee from the south failed under Butler , who was trapped inside the Bermuda Hundred river bend . Each battle resulted in setbacks for the Union that mirrored what they had suffered under prior generals , though unlike those prior generals , Grant fought on rather than retreat . Grant was tenacious and kept pressing Lee 's Army of Northern Virginia back to Richmond . While Lee was preparing for an attack on Richmond , Grant unexpectedly turned south to cross the James River and began the protracted Siege of Petersburg , where the two armies engaged in trench warfare for over nine months . Grant finally found a commander , General Philip Sheridan , aggressive enough to prevail in the Valley Campaigns of 1864 . Sheridan was initially repelled at the Battle of New Market by former U.S. Vice President and Confederate Gen. John C. Breckinridge . The Battle of New Market was the Confederacy 's last major victory of the war . After redoubling his efforts , Sheridan defeated Maj. Gen. Jubal A. Early in a series of battles , including a final decisive defeat at the Battle of Cedar Creek . Sheridan then proceeded to destroy the agricultural base of the Shenandoah Valley , a strategy similar to the tactics Sherman later employed in Georgia . Meanwhile , Sherman maneuvered from Chattanooga to Atlanta , defeating Confederate Generals Joseph E. Johnston and John Bell Hood along the way . The fall of Atlanta on September 2 , 1864 , guaranteed the reelection of Lincoln as president . Hood left the Atlanta area to swing around and menace Sherman 's supply lines and invade Tennessee in the Franklin - Nashville Campaign . Union Maj. Gen. John Schofield defeated Hood at the Battle of Franklin , and George H. Thomas dealt Hood a massive defeat at the Battle of Nashville , effectively destroying Hood 's army . Leaving Atlanta , and his base of supplies , Sherman 's army marched with an unknown destination , laying waste to about 20 percent of the farms in Georgia in his `` March to the Sea '' . He reached the Atlantic Ocean at Savannah , Georgia in December 1864 . Sherman 's army was followed by thousands of freed slaves ; there were no major battles along the March . Sherman turned north through South Carolina and North Carolina to approach the Confederate Virginia lines from the south , increasing the pressure on Lee 's army . Lee 's army , thinned by desertion and casualties , was now much smaller than Grant 's . One last Confederate attempt to break the Union hold on Petersburg failed at the decisive Battle of Five Forks ( sometimes called `` the Waterloo of the Confederacy '' ) on April 1 . This meant that the Union now controlled the entire perimeter surrounding Richmond - Petersburg , completely cutting it off from the Confederacy . Realizing that the capital was now lost , Lee decided to evacuate his army . The Confederate capital fell to the Union XXV Corps , composed of black troops . The remaining Confederate units fled west after a defeat at Sayler 's Creek . Confederacy surrenders Map of Confederate territory losses year by year Main article : Conclusion of the American Civil War Initially , Lee did not intend to surrender , but planned to regroup at the village of Appomattox Court House , where supplies were to be waiting , and then continue the war . Grant chased Lee and got in front of him , so that when Lee 's army reached Appomattox Court House , they were surrounded . After an initial battle , Lee decided that the fight was now hopeless , and surrendered his Army of Northern Virginia on April 9 , 1865 , at the McLean House . In an untraditional gesture and as a sign of Grant 's respect and anticipation of peacefully restoring Confederate states to the Union , Lee was permitted to keep his sword and his horse , Traveller . On April 14 , 1865 , President Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth , a Southern sympathizer . Lincoln died early the next morning , and Andrew Johnson became the president . Meanwhile , Confederate forces across the South surrendered as news of Lee 's surrender reached them . On April 26 , 1865 , General Joseph E. Johnston surrendered nearly 90,000 men of the Army of Tennessee to Major General William T. Sherman at the Bennett Place near present - day Durham , North Carolina . It proved to be the largest surrender of Confederate forces , effectively bringing the war to an end . President Johnson officially declared a virtual end to the insurrection on May 9 , 1865 ; President Jefferson Davis was captured the following day . On June 2 , Kirby Smith officially surrendered his troops in the Trans - Mississippi Department . On June 23 , Cherokee leader Stand Watie became the last Confederate General to surrender his forces . Diplomacy Main article : Diplomacy of the American Civil War Though the Confederacy hoped that Britain and France would join them against the Union , this was never likely , and so they instead tried to bring Britain and France in as mediators . The Union , under Lincoln and Secretary of State William H. Seward worked to block this , and threatened war if any country officially recognized the existence of the Confederate States of America . In 1861 , Southerners voluntarily embargoed cotton shipments , hoping to start an economic depression in Europe that would force Britain to enter the war to get cotton , but this did not work . Worse , Europe developed other cotton suppliers , which they found superior , hindering the South 's recovery after the war . Crewmembers of USS Wissahickon by the ship 's 11 - inch ( 280 mm ) Dahlgren gun , circa 1863 Cotton diplomacy proved a failure as Europe had a surplus of cotton , while the 1860 -- 62 crop failures in Europe made the North 's grain exports of critical importance . It also helped to turn European opinion further away from the Confederacy . It was said that `` King Corn was more powerful than King Cotton '' , as U.S. grain went from a quarter of the British import trade to almost half . When Britain did face a cotton shortage , it was temporary , being replaced by increased cultivation in Egypt and India . Meanwhile , the war created employment for arms makers , ironworkers , and British ships to transport weapons . Lincoln 's foreign policy was deficient in 1861 in terms of appealing to European public opinion . Diplomats had to explain that United States was not committed to the ending of slavery , but instead they repeated legalistic arguments about the unconstitutionality of secession . Confederate spokesman , on the other hand , were much more successful by ignoring slavery and instead focusing on their struggle for liberty , their commitment to free trade , and the essential role of cotton in the European economy . In addition , the European aristocracy ( the dominant factor in every major country ) was `` absolutely gleeful in pronouncing the American debacle as proof that the entire experiment in popular government had failed . European government leaders welcomed the fragmentation of the ascendant American Republic . '' U.S. minister to Britain Charles Francis Adams proved particularly adept and convinced Britain not to boldly challenge the blockade . The Confederacy purchased several warships from commercial shipbuilders in Britain ( CSS Alabama , CSS Shenandoah , CSS Tennessee , CSS Tallahassee , CSS Florida , and some others ) . The most famous , the CSS Alabama , did considerable damage and led to serious postwar disputes . However , public opinion against slavery created a political liability for politicians in Britain , where the antislavery movement was powerful . War loomed in late 1861 between the U.S. and Britain over the Trent affair , involving the U.S. Navy 's boarding of the British ship Trent and seizure of two Confederate diplomats . However , London and Washington were able to smooth over the problem after Lincoln released the two . In 1862 , the British considered mediation between North and South -- though even such an offer would have risked war with the U.S. British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston reportedly read Uncle Tom 's Cabin three times when deciding on this . The Union victory in the Battle of Antietam caused them to delay this decision . The Emancipation Proclamation over time would reinforce the political liability of supporting the Confederacy . Despite sympathy for the Confederacy , France 's own seizure of Mexico ultimately deterred them from war with the Union . Confederate offers late in the war to end slavery in return for diplomatic recognition were not seriously considered by London or Paris . After 1863 , the Polish revolt against Russia further distracted the European powers , and ensured that they would remain neutral . Union victory and aftermath Results The causes of the war , the reasons for its outcome , and even the name of the war itself are subjects of lingering contention today . The North and West grew rich while the once - rich South became poor for a century . The national political power of the slaveowners and rich southerners ended . Historians are less sure about the results of the postwar Reconstruction , especially regarding the second class citizenship of the Freedmen and their poverty . Historians have debated whether the Confederacy could have won the war . Most scholars , such as James McPherson , argue that Confederate victory was at least possible . McPherson argues that the North 's advantage in population and resources made Northern victory likely but not guaranteed . He also argues that if the Confederacy had fought using unconventional tactics , they would have more easily been able to hold out long enough to exhaust the Union . Comparison of Union and Confederacy , 1860 -- 1864 Year Union Confederacy Population 1860 22,100,000 ( 71 % ) 9,100,000 ( 29 % ) 1864 28,800,000 ( 90 % ) 3,000,000 ( 10 % ) Free 1860 21,700,000 ( 81 % ) 5,600,000 ( 19 % ) Slave 1860 400,000 ( 11 % ) 3,500,000 ( 89 % ) 1864 negligible 1,900,000 Soldiers 1860 -- 64 2,100,000 ( 67 % ) 1,064,000 ( 33 % ) Railroad miles 1860 21,800 ( 71 % ) 8,800 ( 29 % ) 1864 29,100 ( 98 % ) negligible Manufactures 1860 90 % 10 % 1864 98 % negligible Arms production 1860 97 % 3 % 1864 98 % negligible Cotton bales 1860 negligible 4,500,000 1864 300,000 negligible Exports 1860 30 % 70 % 1864 98 % negligible Confederates did not need to invade and hold enemy territory to win , but only needed to fight a defensive war to convince the North that the cost of winning was too high . The North needed to conquer and hold vast stretches of enemy territory and defeat Confederate armies to win . Lincoln was not a military dictator , and could only continue to fight the war as long as the American public supported a continuation of the war . The Confederacy sought to win independence by out - lasting Lincoln ; however , after Atlanta fell and Lincoln defeated McClellan in the election of 1864 , all hope for a political victory for the South ended . At that point , Lincoln had secured the support of the Republicans , War Democrats , the border states , emancipated slaves , and the neutrality of Britain and France . By defeating the Democrats and McClellan , he also defeated the Copperheads and their peace platform . Many scholars argue that the Union held an insurmountable long - term advantage over the Confederacy in industrial strength and population . Confederate actions , they argue , only delayed defeat . Civil War historian Shelby Foote expressed this view succinctly : `` I think that the North fought that war with one hand behind its back ... If there had been more Southern victories , and a lot more , the North simply would have brought that other hand out from behind its back . I do n't think the South ever had a chance to win that War . '' A minority view among historians is that the Confederacy lost because , as E. Merton Coulter put it , `` people did not will hard enough and long enough to win . '' Marxist historian Armstead Robinson agrees , pointing to a class conflict in the Confederates army between the slave owners and the larger number of non-owners . He argues that the non-owner soldiers grew embittered about fighting to preserve slavery , and fought less enthusiastically . He attributes the major Confederate defeats in 1863 at Vicksburg and Missionary Ridge to this class conflict . However , most historians reject the argument . James M. McPherson , after reading thousands of letters written by Confederate soldiers , found strong patriotism that continued to the end ; they truly believed they were fighting for freedom and liberty . Even as the Confederacy was visibly collapsing in 1864 -- 65 , he says most Confederate soldiers were fighting hard . Historian Gary Gallagher cites General Sherman who in early 1864 commented , `` The devils seem to have a determination that can not but be admired . '' Despite their loss of slaves and wealth , with starvation looming , Sherman continued , `` yet I see no sign of let up -- some few deserters -- plenty tired of war , but the masses determined to fight it out . '' Also important were Lincoln 's eloquence in rationalizing the national purpose and his skill in keeping the border states committed to the Union cause . The Emancipation Proclamation was an effective use of the President 's war powers . The Confederate government failed in its attempt to get Europe involved in the war militarily , particularly Britain and France . Southern leaders needed to get European powers to help break up the blockade the Union had created around the Southern ports and cities . Lincoln 's naval blockade was 95 percent effective at stopping trade goods ; as a result , imports and exports to the South declined significantly . The abundance of European cotton and Britain 's hostility to the institution of slavery , along with Lincoln 's Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico naval blockades , severely decreased any chance that either Britain or France would enter the war . Historian Don Doyle has argued that the Union victory had a major impact on the course of world history . The Union victory energized popular democratic forces . A Confederate victory , on the other hand , would have meant a new birth of slavery , not freedom . Historian Fergus Bordewich , following Doyle , argues that : The North 's victory decisively proved the durability of democratic government . Confederate independence , on the other hand , would have established an American model for reactionary politics and race - based repression that would likely have cast an international shadow into the twentieth century and perhaps beyond . '' Costs The war resulted in at least 1,030,000 casualties ( 3 percent of the population ) , including about 620,000 soldier deaths -- two - thirds by disease , and 50,000 civilians . Binghamton University historian J. David Hacker believes the number of soldier deaths was approximately 750,000 , 20 percent higher than traditionally estimated , and possibly as high as 850,000 . The war accounted for more American deaths than in all other U.S. wars combined . One in thirteen veterans were amputees . Remains of both sides were reinterred . National cemetery in Andersonville , GA . Based on 1860 census figures , 8 percent of all white males aged 13 to 43 died in the war , including 6 percent in the North and 18 percent in the South . About 56,000 soldiers died in prison camps during the War . An estimated 60,000 men lost limbs in the war . Union army dead , amounting to 15 percent of the over two million who served , was broken down as follows : 110,070 killed in action ( 67,000 ) or died of wounds ( 43,000 ) . 199,790 died of disease ( 75 percent was due to the war , the remainder would have occurred in civilian life anyway ) 24,866 died in Confederate prison camps 9,058 killed by accidents or drowning 15,741 other / unknown deaths 359,528 total dead In addition there were 4,523 deaths in the Navy ( 2,112 in battle ) and 460 in the Marines ( 148 in battle ) . Black troops made up 10 percent of the Union death toll , they amounted to 15 percent of disease deaths but less than 3 percent of those killed in battle . Losses among African Americans were high , in the last year and a half and from all reported casualties , approximately 20 percent of all African Americans enrolled in the military lost their lives during the Civil War . Notably , their mortality rate was significantly higher than white soldiers : ( We ) find , according to the revised official data , that of the slightly over two millions troops in the United States Volunteers , over 316,000 died ( from all causes ) , or 15.2 percent . Of the 67,000 Regular Army ( white ) troops , 8.6 percent , or not quite 6,000 , died . Of the approximately 180,000 United States Colored Troops , however , over 36,000 died , or 20.5 percent . In other words , the mortality `` rate '' amongst the United States Colored Troops in the Civil War was thirty - five percent greater than that among other troops , notwithstanding the fact that the former were not enrolled until some eighteen months after the fighting began . Burying Union dead on the Antietam battlefield , 1862 Confederate records compiled by historian William F. Fox list 74,524 killed and died of wounds and 59,292 died of disease . Including Confederate estimates of battle losses where no records exist would bring the Confederate death toll to 94,000 killed and died of wounds . Fox complained , however , that records were incomplete , especially during the last year of the war , and that battlefield reports likely under - counted deaths ( many men counted as wounded in battlefield reports subsequently died of their wounds ) . Thomas L. Livermore , using Fox 's data , put the number of Confederate non-combat deaths at 166,000 , using the official estimate of Union deaths from disease and accidents and a comparison of Union and Confederate enlistment records , for a total of 260,000 deaths . However , this excludes the 30,000 deaths of Confederate troops in prisons , which would raise the minimum number of deaths to 290,000 . The United States National Park Service uses the following figures in its official tally of war losses : Union : 853,838 110,100 killed in action 224,580 disease deaths 275,154 wounded in action 211,411 captured ( including 30,192 who died as POWs ) Confederate : 914,660 94,000 killed in action 164,000 disease deaths 194,026 wounded in action 462,634 captured ( including 31,000 who died as POWs ) While the figures of 360,000 army deaths for the Union and 260,000 for the Confederacy remained commonly cited , they are incomplete . In addition to many Confederate records being missing , partly as a result of Confederate widows not reporting deaths due to being ineligible for benefits , both armies only counted troops who died during their service , and not the tens of thousands who died of wounds or diseases after being discharged . This often happened only a few days or weeks later . Francis Amasa Walker , Superintendent of the 1870 Census , used census and Surgeon General data to estimate a minimum of 500,000 Union military deaths and 350,000 Confederate military deaths , for a total death toll of 850,000 soldiers . While Walker 's estimates were originally dismissed because of the 1870 Census 's undercounting , it was later found that the census was only off by 6.5 % , and that the data Walker used would be roughly accurate . Analyzing the number of dead by using census data to calculate the deviation of the death rate of men of fighting age from the norm suggests that at least 627,000 and at most 888,000 , but most likely 761,000 soldiers , died in the war . This would break down to approximately 350,000 Confederate and 411,000 Union military deaths , going by the proportion of Union to Confederate battle losses . Deaths among former slaves has proven much harder to estimate , due to the lack of reliable census data at the time , though they were known to be considerable , as former slaves were set free or escaped in massive numbers in an area where the Union army did not have sufficient shelter , doctors , or food for them . University of Connecticut Professor James Downs states that tens to hundreds of thousands of slaves died during the war from disease , starvation , exposure , or execution at the hands of the Confederates , and that if these deaths are counted in the war 's total , the death toll would exceed 1 million . Losses were far higher than during the recent defeat of Mexico , which saw roughly thirteen thousand American deaths , including fewer than two thousand killed in battle , between 1846 and 1848 . One reason for the high number of battle deaths during the war was the continued use of tactics similar to those of the Napoleonic Wars at the turn of the century , such as charging . With the advent of more accurate rifled barrels , Minié balls and ( near the end of the war for the Union army ) repeating firearms such as the Spencer Repeating Rifle and the Henry Repeating Rifle , soldiers were mowed down when standing in lines in the open . This led to the adoption of trench warfare , a style of fighting that defined much of World War I . The wealth amassed in slaves and slavery for the Confederacy 's 3.5 million blacks effectively ended when Union armies arrived ; they were nearly all freed by the Emancipation Proclamation . Slaves in the border states and those located in some former Confederate territory occupied before the Emancipation Proclamation were freed by state action or ( on December 6 , 1865 ) by the Thirteenth Amendment . The war destroyed much of the wealth that had existed in the South . All accumulated investment Confederate bonds was forfeit ; most banks and railroads were bankrupt . Income per person in the South dropped to less than 40 percent of that of the North , a condition that lasted until well into the 20th century . Southern influence in the U.S. federal government , previously considerable , was greatly diminished until the latter half of the 20th century . The full restoration of the Union was the work of a highly contentious postwar era known as Reconstruction . Emancipation Slavery as a War issue While not all Southerners saw themselves as fighting to preserve slavery , most of the officers and over a third of the rank and file in Lee 's army had close family ties to slavery . To Northerners , in contrast , the motivation was primarily to preserve the Union , not to abolish slavery . Abraham Lincoln consistently made preserving the Union the central goal of the war , though he increasingly saw slavery as a crucial issue and made ending it an additional goal . Lincoln 's decision to issue the Emancipation Proclamation angered both Peace Democrats ( `` Copperheads '' ) and War Democrats , but energized most Republicans . By warning that free blacks would flood the North , Democrats made gains in the 1862 elections , but they did not gain control of Congress . The Republicans ' counterargument that slavery was the mainstay of the enemy steadily gained support , with the Democrats losing decisively in the 1863 elections in the northern state of Ohio when they tried to resurrect anti-black sentiment . Emancipation Proclamation Main article : Emancipation Proclamation The Emancipation Proclamation enabled African - Americans , both free blacks and escaped slaves , to join the Union Army . About 190,000 volunteered , further enhancing the numerical advantage the Union armies enjoyed over the Confederates , who did not dare emulate the equivalent manpower source for fear of fundamentally undermining the legitimacy of slavery . During the Civil War , sentiment concerning slaves , enslavement and emancipation in the United States was divided . In 1861 , Lincoln worried that premature attempts at emancipation would mean the loss of the border states , and that `` to lose Kentucky is nearly the same as to lose the whole game . '' Copperheads and some War Democrats opposed emancipation , although the latter eventually accepted it as part of total war needed to save the Union . Left : Contrabands -- fugitive slaves -- cooks , laundresses , laborers , teamsters , railroad repair crews -- fled to the Union Army , but were not officially freed until 1863 . Emancipation Proclamation . Right : In 1863 , the Union army accepted Freedmen . Seen here are Black and White teen - aged soldiers . At first , Lincoln reversed attempts at emancipation by Secretary of War Simon Cameron and Generals John C. Frémont ( in Missouri ) and David Hunter ( in South Carolina , Georgia and Florida ) to keep the loyalty of the border states and the War Democrats . Lincoln warned the border states that a more radical type of emancipation would happen if his gradual plan based on compensated emancipation and voluntary colonization was rejected . But only the District of Columbia accepted Lincoln 's gradual plan , which was enacted by Congress . When Lincoln told his cabinet about his proposed emancipation proclamation , Seward advised Lincoln to wait for a victory before issuing it , as to do otherwise would seem like `` our last shriek on the retreat '' . Lincoln laid the groundwork for public support in an open letter published in abolitionist Horace Greeley 's newspaper . In September 1862 , the Battle of Antietam provided this opportunity , and the subsequent War Governors ' Conference added support for the proclamation . Lincoln issued his preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on September 22 , 1862 , and his final Emancipation Proclamation on January 1 , 1863 . In his letter to Albert G. Hodges , Lincoln explained his belief that `` If slavery is not wrong , nothing is wrong ... And yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially upon this judgment and feeling ... I claim not to have controlled events , but confess plainly that events have controlled me . '' Lincoln 's moderate approach succeeded in inducing border states , War Democrats and emancipated slaves to fight for the Union . The Union - controlled border states ( Kentucky , Missouri , Maryland , Delaware and West Virginia ) and Union - controlled regions around New Orleans , Norfolk and elsewhere , were not covered by the Emancipation Proclamation . All abolished slavery on their own , except Kentucky and Delaware . Since the Emancipation Proclamation was based on the President 's war powers , it only included territory held by Confederates at the time . However , the Proclamation became a symbol of the Union 's growing commitment to add emancipation to the Union 's definition of liberty . The Emancipation Proclamation greatly reduced the Confederacy 's hope of getting aid from Britain or France . By late 1864 , Lincoln was playing a leading role in getting Congress to vote for the Thirteenth Amendment , which made emancipation universal and permanent . Texas v. white In Texas v. White , 74 U.S. 700 ( 1869 ) the United States Supreme Court ruled that Texas had remained a state ever since it first joined the Union , despite claims that it joined the Confederate States ; the court further held that the Constitution did not permit states to unilaterally secede from the United States , and that the ordinances of secession , and all the acts of the legislatures within seceding states intended to give effect to such ordinances , were `` absolutely null '' , under the constitution . Reconstruction Main article : Reconstruction Era of the United States Northern teachers traveled into the South to provide education and training for the newly freed population . Reconstruction began during the war , with the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1 , 1863 , and it continued until 1877 . It comprised multiple complex methods to resolve the outstanding issues of the war 's aftermath , the most important of which were the three `` Reconstruction Amendments '' to the Constitution , which remain in effect to the present time : the 13th ( 1865 ) , the 14th ( 1868 ) and the 15th ( 1870 ) . From the Union perspective , the goals of Reconstruction were to consolidate the Union victory on the battlefield by reuniting the Union ; to guarantee a `` republican form of government for the ex-Confederate states ; and to permanently end slavery -- and prevent semi-slavery status . President Johnson took a lenient approach and saw the achievement of the main war goals as realized in 1865 , when each ex-rebel state repudiated secession and ratified the Thirteenth Amendment . Radical Republicans demanded proof that Confederate nationalism was dead and that the slaves were truly free . They came to the fore after the 1866 elections and undid much of Johnson 's work . In 1872 the `` Liberal Republicans '' argued that the war goals had been achieved and that Reconstruction should end . They ran a presidential ticket in 1872 but were decisively defeated . In 1874 , Democrats , primarily Southern , took control of Congress and opposed any more reconstruction . The Compromise of 1877 closed with a national consensus that the Civil War had finally ended . With the withdrawal of federal troops , however , whites retook control of every Southern legislature ; the Jim Crow period of disenfranchisement and legal segregation was about to begin . Memory and historiography Left : Monument to the Grand Army of the Republic , a Union veteran organization Right : Cherokee Confederates reunion in New Orleans , 1903 The Civil War is one of the central events in American collective memory . There are innumerable statues , commemorations , books and archival collections . The memory includes the home front , military affairs , the treatment of soldiers , both living and dead , in the war 's aftermath , depictions of the war in literature and art , evaluations of heroes and villains , and considerations of the moral and political lessons of the war . The last theme includes moral evaluations of racism and slavery , heroism in combat and heroism behind the lines , and the issues of democracy and minority rights , as well as the notion of an `` Empire of Liberty '' influencing the world . Professional historians have paid much more attention to the causes of the war , than to the war itself . Military history has largely developed outside academe , leading to a proliferation of solid studies by non-scholars who are thoroughly familiar with the primary sources , pay close attention to battles and campaigns , and write for the large public readership , rather than the small scholarly community . Bruce Catton and Shelby Foote are among the best - known writers . Practically every major figure in the war , both North and South , has had a serious biographical study . Deeply religious Southerners saw the hand of God in history , which demonstrated His wrath at their sinfulness , or His rewards for their suffering . Historian Wilson Fallin has examined the sermons of white and black Baptist preachers after the War . Southern white preachers said : God had chastised them and given them a special mission -- to maintain orthodoxy , strict biblicism , personal piety , and traditional race relations . Slavery , they insisted , had not been sinful . Rather , emancipation was a historical tragedy and the end of Reconstruction was a clear sign of God 's favor . In sharp contrast , Black preachers interpreted the Civil War as : God 's gift of freedom . They appreciated opportunities to exercise their independence , to worship in their own way , to affirm their worth and dignity , and to proclaim the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man . Most of all , they could form their own churches , associations , and conventions . These institutions offered self - help and racial uplift , and provided places where the gospel of liberation could be proclaimed . As a result , black preachers continued to insist that God would protect and help him ; God would be their rock in a stormy land . Lost Cause Main article : Lost Cause of the Confederacy Memory of the war in the white South crystallized in the myth of the `` Lost Cause '' , shaping regional identity and race relations for generations . Alan T. Nolan notes that the Lost Cause was expressly `` a rationalization , a cover - up to vindicate the name and fame '' of those in rebellion . Some claims revolve around the insignificance of slavery ; some appeals highlight cultural differences between North and South ; the military conflict by Confederate actors is idealized ; in any case , secession was said to be lawful . Nolan argues that the adoption of the Lost Cause perspective facilitated the reunification of the North and the South while excusing the `` virulent racism '' of the 19th century , sacrificing African - American progress to a white man 's reunification . He also deems the Lost Cause `` a caricature of the truth . This caricature wholly misrepresents and distorts the facts of the matter '' in every instance . Beginning in 1961 the U.S. Post Office released Commemorative stamps for five famous battles , each issued on the 100th anniversary of the respective battle . Beardian historiography The interpretation of the Civil War presented by Charles A. Beard and Mary R. Beard in The Rise of American Civilization ( 1927 ) was highly influential among historians and the general public until the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s . The Beards downplayed slavery , abolitionism , and issues of morality . They ignored constitutional issues of states ' rights and even ignored American nationalism as the force that finally led to victory in the war . Indeed , the ferocious combat itself was passed over as merely an ephemeral event . Much more important was the calculus of class conflict . The Beards announced that the Civil War was really : ( A ) social cataclysm in which the capitalists , laborers , and farmers of the North and West drove from power in the national government the planting aristocracy of the South . The Beards themselves abandoned their interpretation by the 1940s and it became defunct among historians in the 1950s , when scholars shifted to an emphasis on slavery . However , Beardian themes still echo among Lost Cause writers . Civil War commemoration Main article : Commemoration of the American Civil War See also : Commemoration of the American Civil War on postage stamps Left : Grand Army of the Republic ( Union ) Right : United Confederate Veterans The American Civil War has been commemorated in many capacities ranging from the reenactment of battles , to statues and memorial halls erected , to films being produced , to stamps and coins with Civil War themes being issued , all of which helped to shape public memory . This varied advent occurred in greater proportions on the 100th and 150th anniversary . Hollywood 's take on the war has been especially influential in shaping public memory , as seen in such film classics as Birth of a Nation ( 1915 ) , Gone with the Wind ( 1939 ) , and more recently Lincoln ( 2012 ) . Ken Burns produced a notable PBS series on television titled The Civil War ( 1990 ) . It was digitally remastered and re-released in 2015 . Technological significance There were numerous technological innovations during the Civil War that had a great impact on 19th century science . The Civil War was one of the earliest examples of an `` industrial war '' , in which technological might is used to achieve military supremacy in a war . New inventions , such as the train and telegraph , delivered soldiers , supplies and messages at a time when horses were considered to be the fastest way to travel . It was also in this war when countries first used aerial warfare , in the form of reconnaissance balloons , to a significant effect . It saw the first action involving steam - powered ironclad warships in naval warfare history . Repeating firearms such as the Henry rifle , Spencer rifle , Colt revolving rifle , Triplett & Scott carbine and others , first appeared during the Civil War ; they were a revolutionary invention that would soon replace muzzle - loading and single - shot firearms in warfare , as well as the first appearances of rapid - firing weapons and machine guns such as the Agar gun and the Gatling gun .

Jump up ^ `` Union population 1864 '' aggregates 1860 population , average annual immigration 1855 -- 1864 , and population governed formerly by CSA per Kenneth Martis source . Contrabands and after the Emancipation Proclamation freedmen , migrating into Union control on the coasts and to the advancing armies , and natural increase are excluded . Jump up ^ `` Slave 1864 , CSA '' aggregates 1860 slave census of Virginia , North Carolina , South Carolina , Georgia and Texas . It omits losses from contraband and after the Emancipation Proclamation , freedmen migrating to the Union controlled coastal ports and those joining advancing Union armies , especially in the Mississippi Valley . Jump up ^ At the beginning of the war , some Union commanders thought they were supposed to return escaped slaves to their masters . By 1862 , when it became clear that this would be a long war , the question of what to do about slavery became more general . The Southern economy and military effort depended on slave labor . It began to seem unreasonable to protect slavery while blockading Southern commerce and destroying Southern production . As one Congressman put it , the slaves `` ... can not be neutral . As laborers , if not as soldiers , they will be allies of the rebels , or of the Union . '' The same Congressman -- and his fellow Radical Republicans -- put pressure on Lincoln to rapidly emancipate the slaves , whereas moderate Republicans came to accept gradual , compensated emancipation and colonization . Enslaved African Americans did not wait for Lincoln 's action before escaping and seeking freedom behind Union lines . From early years of the war , hundreds of thousands of African Americans escaped to Union lines , especially in occupied areas like Nashville , Norfolk and the Hampton Roads region in 1862 , Tennessee from 1862 on , the line of Sherman 's march , etc . So many African Americans fled to Union lines that commanders created camps and schools for them , where both adults and children learned to read and write . See Catton , Bruce . Never Call Retreat , p. 335 . The American Missionary Association entered the war effort by sending teachers south to such contraband camps , for instance establishing schools in Norfolk and on nearby plantations . In addition , approximately 180,000 or more African - American men served as soldiers and sailors with Union troops . Most of those were escaped slaves . Probably the most prominent of these African - American soldiers is the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry . Jump up ^ In spite of the South 's shortage of soldiers , most Southern leaders -- until 1865 -- opposed enlisting slaves . They used them as laborers to support the war effort . As Howell Cobb said , `` If slaves will make good soldiers our whole theory of slavery is wrong . '' Confederate generals Patrick Cleburne and Robert E. Lee argued in favor of arming blacks late in the war , and Jefferson Davis was eventually persuaded to support plans for arming slaves to avoid military defeat . The Confederacy surrendered at Appomattox before this plan could be implemented . The great majority of the 4 million slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation , as Union armies moved south . Historian John D. Winters referred to the exhilaration of the slaves when the Union Army came through Louisiana : `` As the troops moved up to Alexandria , the Negroes crowded the roadsides to watch the passing army . They were ' all frantic with joy , some weeping , some blessing , and some dancing in the exuberance of their emotions . ' All of the Negroes were attracted by the pageantry and excitement of the army . Others cheered because they anticipated the freedom to plunder and to do as they pleased now that the Federal troops were there . '' Confederates enslaved captured black Union soldiers , and black soldiers especially were shot when trying to surrender at the Fort Pillow Massacre . See Catton , Bruce . Never Call Retreat , p. 335 . This led to a breakdown of the prisoner and mail exchange program and the growth of prison camps such as Andersonville prison in Georgia , where almost 13,000 Union prisoners of war died of starvation and disease .

when did the first battle of the civil war take place
[ "The American Civil War was fought in the United States from 1861 to 1865. The result of a long-standing controversy over slavery, war broke out in April 1861, when Confederates attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina, shortly after Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated. The nationalists of the Union proclaimed loyalty to the U.S. Constitution. They faced secessionists of the Confederate States of America, who advocated for states’ rights to perpetual slavery and its expansion in the Americas." ]

Head of state
Head of state - wikipedia Head of state Not to be confused with Head of government . This article is about the political term . For other uses , see Head of state ( disambiguation ) . Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom is currently the longest serving head of state . A head of state ( or chief of state ) is the public persona that officially represents the national unity and legitimacy of a sovereign state . Depending on the country 's form of government and separation of powers , the head of state may be a ceremonial figurehead or concurrently the head of government . In the parliamentary system the head of state is the de jure leader of the nation , because the leader de facto is the prime minister ( the head of government ) . In the semi-parliamentary system both heads of state and government are the leaders de facto of the nation ( in practice the two divide the leadership of the nation among themselves ) . In countries with parliamentary systems , the head of state is typically a ceremonial figurehead that does not actually guide day - to - day government activities or is not empowered to exercise any kind of secular political authority . In countries where the head of state is also the head of government , the head of state serves as both a public figurehead and the actual highest - ranking political leader who oversees the executive branch ( e.g. , the President of Brazil ) . Former French president Charles de Gaulle , while developing the current Constitution of France ( 1958 ) , said the head of state should embody l'esprit de la nation ( `` the spirit of the nation '' ) .

( November 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Grassalkovich Palace in Bratislava is the seat of the President of Slovakia . Some academic writers discuss states and governments in terms of `` models '' . An independent nation state normally has a head of state , and determines the extent of its head 's executive powers of government or formal representational functions . In protocolary terms , the head of a sovereign , independent state is usually identified as the person who , according to that state 's constitution , is the reigning monarch , in the case of a monarchy , or the president , in the case of a republic . Among the different state constitutions ( fundamental laws ) that establish different political systems , four major types of heads of state can be distinguished : The parliamentary system , with two subset models ; The standard model , in which the head of state , in theory , possesses key executive powers , but the exercise of such power is done on the binding advice of a head of government ( e.g. , United Kingdom , India , Germany ) . The non-executive model , in which the head of state has either none or very limited executive powers , and mainly has a ceremonial and symbolic role ( e.g. , Sweden , Japan , Israel ) . The semi-presidential system , in which the head of state shares key executive powers with a head of government or cabinet ( e.g. , Russia , France , Sri Lanka ) ; and The presidential system , in which the head of state is also the head of government and has all executive powers ( e.g. , United States , Indonesia ) . The same role in a federal constituent and a dependent territory is fulfilled by the corresponding office equivalent to that of a head of state . For example , in each Canadian province the role is fulfilled by the Lieutenant Governor , whereas in most British Overseas Territories the powers and duties are performed by the Governor . The same applies to Australian states , Indian states , etc . Hong Kong 's constitutional document , the Basic Law , for example , specifies the Chief Executive as the head of the special administrative region , in addition to his role as the head of government . These non-sovereign - state heads , nevertheless , have limited or no role in diplomatic affairs , depending on the status and the norms and practices of the territories concerned . Parliamentary system World 's parliamentary states , as of 2018 , coloured by form of government Green = republics with an executive president elected by a parliament Orange = parliamentary republics Red = parliamentary constitutional monarchies in which the monarch does not personally exercise power Standard model In parliamentary systems the head of state may be merely the nominal chief executive officer , heading the executive branch of the state , and possessing limited executive power . In reality , however , following a process of constitutional evolution , powers are usually only exercised by direction of a cabinet , presided over by a head of government who is answerable to the legislature . This accountability and legitimacy requires that someone be chosen who has a majority support in the legislature ( or , at least , not a majority opposition -- a subtle but important difference ) . It also gives the legislature the right to vote down the head of government and their cabinet , forcing it either to resign or seek a parliamentary dissolution . The executive branch is thus said to be responsible ( or answerable ) to the legislature , with the head of government and cabinet in turn accepting constitutional responsibility for offering constitutional advice to the head of state . In parliamentary constitutional monarchies , the legitimacy of the unelected head of state typically derives from the tacit approval of the people via the elected representatives . Accordingly , at the time of the Glorious Revolution , the English parliament acted of its own authority to name a new king and queen ( the joint monarchs Mary II and William III ) ; likewise , Edward VIII 's abdication required the approval of each of the six independent realms of which he was monarch . In monarchies with a written constitution , the position of monarch is a creature of the constitution and could quite properly be abolished through a democratic procedure of constitutional amendment , although there are often significant procedural hurdles imposed on such a procedure ( as in the Constitution of Spain ) . In republics with a parliamentary system ( such as India , Germany , Austria , Italy and Israel ) the head of state is usually titled president and the principal functions of such presidents are mainly ceremonial and symbolic , as opposed to the presidents in a presidential or semi-presidential system . President Pranab Mukherjee , head of state of the Republic of India from July 2012 to July 2017 In reality , numerous variants exist to the position of a head of state within a parliamentary system . The older the constitution , the more constitutional leeway tends to exist for a head of state to exercise greater powers over government , as many older parliamentary system constitutions in fact give heads of state powers and functions akin to presidential or semi-presidential systems , in some cases without containing reference to modern democratic principles of accountability to parliament or even to modern governmental offices . Usually , the king had the power of declaring war without previous consent of the parliament . For example , under the 1848 constitution of the Kingdom of Italy , the Statuto Albertino -- the parliamentary approval to the government appointed by the king -- was customary , but not required by law . So , Italy had a de facto parliamentarian system , but a de jure `` presidential '' system . Examples of heads of state in parliamentary systems using greater powers than usual , either because of ambiguous constitutions or unprecedented national emergencies , include the decision by King Léopold III of the Belgians to surrender on behalf of his state to the invading German army in 1940 , against the will of his government . Judging that his responsibility to the nation by virtue of his coronation oath required him to act , he believed that his government 's decision to fight rather than surrender was mistaken and would damage Belgium . ( Leopold 's decision proved highly controversial . After World War II , Belgium voted in a referendum to allow him back on the throne , but because of the ongoing controversy he ultimately abdicated . ) The Belgian constitutional crisis in 1990 , when the head of state refused to sign into law a bill permitting abortion , was resolved by the cabinet assuming the power to promulgate the law while he was treated as `` unable to reign '' for twenty - four hours . Non-executive model Two contemporary heads of state who are constitutional monarchs , but with no political power : Emperor Akihito of Japan ( left ) , and King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden ( right ) . These officials are excluded completely from the executive : they do not possess even theoretical executive powers or any role , even formal , within the government . Hence their states ' governments are not referred to by the traditional parliamentary model head of state styles of His / Her Majesty 's Government or His / Her Excellency 's Government . Within this general category , variants in terms of powers and functions may exist . The Constitution of Japan ( 日本 国 憲法 , Nihonkoku - Kenpō ) was drawn up under the Allied occupation that followed World War II and was intended to replace the previous militaristic and quasi-absolute monarchy system with a form of liberal democracy parliamentary system . The constitution explicitly vests all executive power in the Cabinet , who is chaired by the prime minister ( articles 65 and 66 ) and responsible to the Diet ( articles 67 and 69 ) . The emperor is defined in the constitution as `` the symbol of the State and of the unity of the people '' ( article 1 ) , and is generally recognized throughout the world as the Japanese head of state . Although the emperor formally appoints the prime minister to office , article 6 of the constitution requires him to appoint the candidate `` as designated by the Diet '' , without any right to decline appointment . He is a ceremonial figurehead with no independent discretionary powers related to the governance of Japan . Since the passage in Sweden of the 1974 Instrument of Government , the Swedish monarch no longer has many of the standard parliamentary system head of state functions that had previously belonged to him or her , as was the case in the preceding 1809 Instrument of Government . Today , the Speaker of the Riksdag appoints ( following a vote in the Riksdag ) the prime minister and terminates his or her commission following a vote of no confidence or voluntary resignation . Cabinet members are appointed and dismissed at the sole discretion of the prime minister . Laws and ordinances are promulgated by two Cabinet members in unison signing `` On Behalf of the Government '' and the government -- not the monarch -- is the high contracting party with respect to international treaties . The remaining official functions of the sovereign , by constitutional mandate or by unwritten convention , are to open the annual session of the Riksdag , receive foreign ambassadors and sign the letters of credence for Swedish ambassadors , chair the foreign advisory committee , preside at the special Cabinet council when a new prime minister takes office , and to be kept informed by the prime minister on matters of state . In contrast , the only contact the President of Ireland has with the Irish government is through a formal briefing session given by the taoiseach ( head of government ) to the president . However , he or she has no access to documentation and all access to ministers goes through the Department of the Taoiseach . The president does , however , hold limited reserve powers , such as referring a bill to the supreme court to test its constitutionality , which are used under the president 's discretion . The most extreme non-executive republican Head of State is the President of Israel , which holds no reserve powers whatsoever . The least ceremonial powers held by the President are to appoint the Prime Minister , to approve the dissolution of the Knesset made by the Prime Minister , and to pardon criminals or to commute their sentence . Executive model Some parliamentary republics ( like South Africa , Botswana and Suriname ) have fused the roles of the head of state with the head of government ( like in a presidential system ) , while having the sole executive officer , often called a president , being dependent on the Parliament 's confidence to rule ( like in a parliamentary system ) . While also being the leading symbol of the nation , the president in this system acts mostly as a prime minister , since the incumbent must be a member of the legislature at the time of the election , answer question sessions in Parliament , avoid motions of no confidence , etc . Semi-presidential systems Charles de Gaulle , President and head of state of the French Fifth Republic ( 1959 -- 1969 ) Main article : Semi-presidential system Semi-presidential systems combine features of presidential and parliamentary systems , notably ( in the president - parliamentary subtype ) a requirement that the government be answerable to both the president and the legislature . The constitution of the Fifth French Republic provides for a prime minister who is chosen by the president , but who nevertheless must be able to gain support in the National Assembly . Should a president be of one side of the political spectrum and the opposition be in control of the legislature , the president is usually obliged to select someone from the opposition to become prime minister , a process known as Cohabitation . President François Mitterrand , a Socialist , for example , was forced to cohabit with the neo-Gaullist ( right wing ) Jacques Chirac , who became his prime minister from 1986 to 1988 . In the French system , in the event of cohabitation , the president is often allowed to set the policy agenda in security and foreign affairs and the prime minister runs the domestic and economic agenda . Other countries evolve into something akin to a semi-presidential system or indeed a full presidential system . Weimar Germany , for example , in its constitution provided for a popularly elected president with theoretically dominant executive powers that were intended to be exercised only in emergencies , and a cabinet appointed by him from the Reichstag , which was expected , in normal circumstances , to be answerable to the Reichstag . Initially , the President was merely a symbolic figure with the Reichstag dominant ; however , persistent political instability , in which governments often lasted only a few months , led to a change in the power structure of the republic , with the president 's emergency powers called increasingly into use to prop up governments challenged by critical or even hostile Reichstag votes . By 1932 , power had shifted to such an extent that the German President , Paul von Hindenburg , was able to dismiss a chancellor and select his own person for the job , even though the outgoing chancellor possessed the confidence of the Reichstag while the new chancellor did not . Subsequently , President von Hindenburg used his power to appoint Adolf Hitler as Chancellor without consulting the Reichstag . Presidential system George Washington , the first President of the United States , set the precedent for an executive head of state in republican systems of government Main article : Presidential system Note : The head of state in a `` presidential '' system may not actually hold the title of `` president '' - the name of the system refers to any head of state who actually governs and is not directly dependent on the legislature to remain in office . Some constitutions or fundamental laws provide for a head of state who is not only in theory but in practice chief executive , operating separately from , and independent from , the legislature . This system is known as a `` presidential system '' and sometimes called the `` imperial model '' , because the executive officials of the government are answerable solely and exclusively to a presiding , acting head of state , and is selected by and on occasion dismissed by the head of state without reference to the legislature . It is notable that some presidential systems , while not providing for collective executive accountability to the legislature , may require legislative approval for individuals prior to their assumption of cabinet office and empower the legislature to remove a president from office ( for example , in the United States of America ) . In this case the debate centers on confirming them into office , not removing them from office , and does not involve the power to reject or approve proposed cabinet members en bloc , so it is not accountability in the sense understood in a parliamentary system . Presidential systems are a notable feature of constitutions in the Americas , including those of Argentina , Brazil , Colombia , El Salvador , Mexico and Venezuela ; this is generally attributed to the strong influence of the United States in the region , and as the United States Constitution served as an inspiration and model for the Latin American wars of independence of the early 19th century . Most presidents in such countries are selected by democratic means ( popular direct or indirect election ) ; however , like all other systems , the presidential model also encompasses people who become head of state by other means , notably through military dictatorship or coup d'état , as often seen in Latin American , Middle Eastern and other presidential regimes . Some of the characteristics of a presidential system ( i.e. , a strong dominant political figure with an executive answerable to them , not the legislature ) can also be found among absolute monarchies , parliamentary monarchies and single party ( e.g. , Communist ) regimes , but in most cases of dictatorship , their stated constitutional models are applied in name only and not in political theory or practice . In the 1870s in the United States , in the aftermath of the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson and his near - removal from office , it was speculated that the United States , too , would move from a presidential system to a semi-presidential or even parliamentary one , with the Speaker of the House of Representatives becoming the real center of government as a quasi-prime minister . This did not happen and the presidency , having been damaged by three late nineteenth and early twentieth century assassinations ( Lincoln , Garfield and McKinley ) and one impeachment ( Johnson ) , reasserted its political dominance by the early twentieth century through such figures as Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson . Single - party states In certain states under Marxist constitutions of the constitutionally socialist state type inspired by the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics ( USSR ) and its constitutive Soviet republics , real political power belonged to the sole legal party . In these states , there was no formal office of head of state , but rather the leader of the legislative branch was considered to be the closest common equivalent of a head of state as a natural person . In the Soviet Union this position carried such titles as Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR ; Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet ; and in the case of the Soviet Russia Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the All - Russian Congress of Soviets ( pre-1922 ) , and Chairman of the Bureau of the Central Committee of the Russian SFSR ( 1956 -- 1966 ) . This position may or may not have been held by the de facto Soviet leader at the moment . For example , Nikita Khrushchev never headed the Supreme Soviet but was First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party ( party leader ) and Chairman of the Council of Ministers ( head of government ) . This may even lead to an institutional variability , as in North Korea , where , after the presidency of party leader Kim Il - Sung , the office was vacant for years . The late president was granted the posthumous title ( akin to some ancient Far Eastern traditions to give posthumous names and titles to royalty ) of `` Eternal President '' . All substantive power , as party leader , itself not formally created for four years , was inherited by his son Kim Jong Il . The post of president was formally replaced on 5 September 1998 , for ceremonial purposes , by the office of Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme People 's Assembly , while the party leader 's post as Chairman of the National Defense Commission was simultaneously declared `` the highest post of the state '' , not unlike Deng Xiaoping earlier in the People 's Republic of China . Complications with categorization George V , Emperor of India , and Empress Mary at the Delhi Durbar , 1911 . While clear categories do exist , it is sometimes difficult to choose which category some individual heads of state belong to . In reality , the category to which each head of state belongs is assessed not by theory but by practice . Constitutional change in Liechtenstein in 2003 gave its head of state , the Reigning Prince , constitutional powers that included a veto over legislation and power to dismiss the head of government and cabinet . It could be argued that the strengthening of the Prince 's powers , vis - a-vis the Landtag ( legislature ) , has moved Liechtenstein into the semi-presidential category . Similarly the original powers given to the Greek President under the 1974 Hellenic Republic constitution moved Greece closer to the French semi-presidential model . Another complication exists with South Africa , in which the President is in fact elected by the National Assembly ( legislature ) and is thus similar , in principle , to a head of government in a parliamentary system but is also , in addition , recognized as the head of state . The offices of President of Nauru and President of Botswana are similar in this respect to the South African presidency . Panama , during the military dictatorships of Omar Torrijos and Manuel Noriega , was nominally a presidential republic . However , the elected civilian presidents were effectively figureheads with real political power being exercised by the chief of the Panamanian Defense Forces . Historically , at the time of the League of Nations ( 1920 -- 1946 ) and the founding of the United Nations ( 1945 ) , India 's head of state was the monarch of the United Kingdom , ruling directly or indirectly as Emperor of India through the Viceroy and Governor - General of India . Roles Coronation ceremony : King Bhumibol Adulyadej at his coronation on 5 May 1950 ( left ) , and Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh in her coronation portrait on 2 June 1953 . Head of state is the highest - ranking constitutional position in a sovereign state . A head of state has some or all of the roles listed below , often depending on the constitutional category ( above ) , and does not necessarily regularly exercise the most power or influence of governance . There is usually a formal public ceremony when a person becomes head of state , or some time after . This may be the swearing in at the inauguration of a president of a republic , or the coronation of a monarch . Symbolic role One of the most important roles of the modern head of state is being a living national symbol of the state ; in hereditary monarchies this extends to the monarch being a symbol of the unbroken continuity of the state . For instance , the Canadian monarch is described by the government as being the personification of the Canadian state and is described by the Department of Canadian Heritage as the `` personal symbol of allegiance , unity and authority for all Canadians '' . In many countries , official portraits of the head of state can be found in government offices , courts of law , even airports , libraries , and other public buildings . The idea , sometimes regulated by law , is to use these portraits to make the public aware of the symbolic connection to the government , a practice that dates back to medieval times . Sometimes this practice is taken to excess , and the head of state becomes the principal symbol of the nation , resulting in the emergence of a personality cult where the image of the head of state is the only visual representation of the country , surpassing other symbols such as the flag . Other common representations are on coins , postage and other stamps and banknotes , sometimes by no more than a mention or signature ; and public places , streets , monuments and institutions such as schools are named for current or previous heads of state . In monarchies ( e.g. , Belgium ) there can even be a practice to attribute the adjective `` royal '' on demand based on existence for a given number of years . However , such political techniques can also be used by leaders without the formal rank of head of state , even party - and other revolutionary leaders without formal state mandate . Heads of state often greet important foreign visitors , particularly visiting heads of state . They assume a host role during a state visit , and the programme may feature playing of the national anthems by a military band , inspection of military troops , official exchange of gifts , and attending a state dinner at the official residence of the host . At home , heads of state are expected to render luster to various occasions by their presence , such as by attending artistic or sports performances or competitions ( often in a theatrical honor box , on a platform , on the front row , at the honours table ) , expositions , national day celebrations , dedication events , military parades and war remembrances , prominent funerals , visiting different parts of the country and people from different walks of life , and at times performing symbolic acts such as cutting a ribbon , groundbreaking , ship christening , laying the first stone . Some parts of national life receive their regular attention , often on an annual basis , or even in the form of official patronage . The Olympic Charter ( rule 55.3 ) of the International Olympic Committee states that the Olympic summer and winter games shall be opened by the head of state of the host nation , by uttering a single formulaic phrase as determined by the charter . As such invitations may be very numerous , such duties are often in part delegated to such persons as a spouse , a head of government or a cabinet minister or in other cases ( possibly as a message , for instance , to distance themselves without rendering offense ) just a military officer or civil servant . For non-executive heads of state there is often a degree of censorship by the politically responsible government ( such as the head of government ) , discreetly approving agenda and speeches , especially where the constitution ( or customary law ) assumes all political responsibility by granting the crown inviolability ( in fact also imposing political emasculation ) as in the Kingdom of Belgium from its very beginning ; in a monarchy this may even be extended to some degree to other members of the dynasty , especially the heir to the throne . Below follows a list of examples from different countries of general provisions in law , which either designate an office as head of state or define its general purpose . Example 1 ( parliamentary monarchy ) : Section 56 ( 1 ) of the Spanish Constitution of 1978 states : The King is the Head of State , the symbol of its unity and permanence . He arbitrates and moderates the regular functioning of the institutions , assumes the highest representation of the Spanish State in international relations , especially with the nations of its historical community , and exercises the functions expressly conferred on him by the Constitution and the laws . Example 2 ( parliamentary absentee monarchy ) : Article 2 of the New Zealand Constitution Act 1986 states : ( 1 ) The Sovereign in right of New Zealand is the head of State of New Zealand , and shall be known by the royal style and titles proclaimed from time to time . ( 2 ) The Governor - General appointed by the Sovereign is the Sovereign 's representative in New Zealand . Example 3 ( parliamentary non-executive monarchy ) : Article 1 of the Constitution of Japan states : The Emperor shall be the symbol of the State and of the unity of the People , deriving his position from the will of the people with whom resides sovereign power . Example 4 ( parliamentary republic ) : Title II , Article 87 of the Constitution of Italy states : The President of the Republic is the Head of the State and represents national unity . Example 5 ( parliamentary republic ) : Article 67 of the Iraqi constitution of 2005 states : The President of the Republic is the Head of the State and a symbol of the unity of the country and represents the sovereignty of the country . He shall guarantee the commitment to the Constitution and the preservation of Iraq 's independence , sovereignty , unity , and the safety of its territories , in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution . Example 6 ( semi-presidential republic ) : Title II , Chapter I , Article 120 of the Constitution of Portugal states : The President of the Republic represents the Portuguese Republic , guarantees national independence , the unity of the state and the proper operation of the democratic institutions , and is ex officio Commander - in - Chief of the Armed Forces . Example 7 ( presidential republic ) : Chapter IV , Section 1 , Article 66 of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea states : ( 1 ) The President shall be the Head of State and represent the State vis - à - vis foreign states . ( 2 ) The President shall have the responsibility and duty to safeguard the independence , territorial integrity and continuity of the State and the Constitution . Example 8 ( semi-presidential republic ) : Chapter VI , Article 77 of the Constitution of Lithuania states : The President of the Republic shall be Head of State . He shall represent the State of Lithuania and shall perform everything with which he is charged by the Constitution and laws . Example 9 ( semi-presidential republic ) : Chapter 4 , Article 80 , Section 1 - 2 of the Constitution of Russia states : 1 . The President of the Russian Federation shall be the Head of State . 2 . The President of the Russian Federation shall be the guarantor of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and of human and civil rights and freedoms . In accordance with the procedure established by the Constitution of the Russian Federation , he ( she ) shall adopt measures to protect the sovereignty of the Russian Federation , its independence and State integrity , and shall ensure the coordinated functioning and interaction of State government bodies . Example 10 ( presidential republic ) : Section 87 ( Second Division , Chapter 1 ) of the Constitution of Argentina provides that : The Executive Power of the Nation shall be vested in a citizen with the title of `` President of the Argentine Nation '' . Executive role In the majority of states , whether republics or monarchies , executive authority is vested , at least notionally , in the head of state . In presidential systems the head of state is the actual , de facto chief executive officer . Under parliamentary systems the executive authority is exercised by the head of state , but in practice is done so on the advice of the cabinet of ministers . This produces such terms as `` Her Majesty 's Government '' and `` His Excellency 's Government . '' Examples of parliamentary systems in which the head of state is notional chief executive include Australia , Austria , Canada , Denmark , Germany , India , Italy , Norway , Spain and the United Kingdom . Example 1 ( parliamentary monarchy ) : According to Section 12 of the Constitution of Denmark 1953 : Subject to the limitations laid down in this Constitution Act the King shall have the supreme authority in all the affairs of the Realm , and he shall exercise such supreme authority through the Ministers . Example 2 ( parliamentary absentee monarchy ) : Under Chapter II , Section 61 of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 : The executive power of the Commonwealth is vested in the Queen and is exercisable by the Governor - General as the Queen 's representative , and extends to the execution and maintenance of this Constitution , and of the laws of the Commonwealth . Example 3 ( parliamentary republic ) : According to Article 26 ( 2 ) of the 1975 Constitution of Greece : The executive power shall be exercised by the President of the Republic and the Government . Example 4 ( parliamentary republic ) : According to Article 53 ( 1 ) of the Constitution of India : The executive power of the union shall be vested in the President and shall be exercised by him either directly or indirectly through the officers subordinate to him in accordance to the Constitution . Example 5 ( semi-presidential republic ) : Under Chapter 4 , Article 80 , Section 3 of the Constitution of Russia : The President of the Russian Federation shall , in accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation and federal laws , determine the basic objectives of the internal and foreign policy of the State . Example 6 ( presidential republic ) : Title IV , Chapter II , Section I , Article 76 of the Constitution of Brazil : The Executive Power is exercised by the President of the Republic , assisted by the Ministers of State . Example 7 ( presidential republic ) : Article 2 , Section 1 of the United States Constitution states : The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America . The few exceptions where the head of state is not even the nominal chief executive - and where supreme executive authority is according to the constitution explicitly vested in a cabinet - include the Czech Republic , Ireland , Israel , Japan and Sweden . Appointment of senior officials The head of state usually appoints most or all the key officials in the government , including the head of government and other cabinet ministers , key judicial figures ; and all major office holders in the civil service , foreign service and commissioned officers in the military . In many parliamentary systems , the head of government is appointed with the consent ( in practice often decisive ) of the legislature , and other figures are appointed on the head of government 's advice . In practice , these decisions are often a formality . The last time the prime minister of the United Kingdom was unilaterally selected by the monarch was in 1963 , when Queen Elizabeth II appointed Alec Douglas - Home on the advice of outgoing Prime Minister Harold Macmillan . In presidential systems , such as that of the United States , appointments are nominated by the president 's sole discretion , but this nomination is often subject to confirmation by the legislature ; and specifically in the US , the Senate has to approve senior executive branch and judicial appointments by a simple majority vote . The head of state may also dismiss office - holders . There are many variants on how this can be done . For example , members of the Irish Cabinet are dismissed by the president on the advice of the taoiseach ; in other instances , the head of state may be able to dismiss an office holder unilaterally ; other heads of state , or their representatives , have the theoretical power to dismiss any office - holder , while it is exceptionally rarely used . In France , while the president can not force the prime minister to tender the resignation of the government , he can , in practice , request it if the prime minister is from his own majority . In presidential systems , the president often has the power to fire ministers at his sole discretion . In the United States , the unwritten convention calls for the heads of the executive departments to resign on their own initiative when called to do so . Example 1 ( parliamentary monarchy ) : Article 96 of the Constitution of Belgium : The King appoints and dismisses his ministers . The Federal Government offers its resignation to the King if the House of Representatives , by an absolute majority of its members , adopts a motion of no confidence proposing a successor to the prime minister for appointment by the King or proposes a successor to the prime minister for appointment by the King within three days of the rejection of a motion of confidence . The King appoints the proposed successor as prime minister , who takes office when the new Federal Government is sworn in . Example 2 ( parliamentary non-executive republic ) : Article 13.1. 1 of the Constitution of Ireland : The President shall , on the nomination of Dáil Éireann , appoint the Taoiseach . Example 3 ( semi-presidential republic ) : Chapter 4 , Section 2 of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea states : The Prime Minister is appointed by the President with the consent of the National Assembly . Example 4 ( presidential republic ) : Article 84 of the Constitution of Brazil : The President of the Republic shall have the exclusive power to : I - appoint and dismiss the Ministers of State : XIII - ... appoint the commanders of Navy , Army and Air Force , to promote general officers and to appoint them to the offices held exclusively by them ; XIV - appoint , after approval by the Senate , the Justices of the Supreme Federal Court and those of the superior courts , the Governors of the territories , the Attorney - General of the Republic , the President and the Directors of the Central Bank and other civil servants , when established by law ; XV - appoint , with due regard for the provisions of article 73 , the Justices of the Federal Court of Accounts ; XVI - appoint judges in the events established by this Constitution and the Advocate - General of the Union ; XVII - appoint members of the Council of the Republic , in accordance with article 89 , VII XXV - fill and abolish federal government positions , as set forth by law . Some countries have alternative provisions for senior appointments : In Sweden , under the Instrument of Government of 1974 , the Speaker of the Riksdag has the role of formally appointing the prime minister , following a vote in the Riksdag , and the prime minister in turn appoints and dismisses cabinet ministers at his / her sole discretion . Diplomatic role Tekiso Hati , Ambassador of the Kingdom of Lesotho , presenting his credentials to Russian President Vladimir Putin Daniel B. Shapiro , U.S. Ambassador to Israel , presents his credentials to Israeli President Shimon Peres on 3 August 2011 A 1992 Letter of Credence , written in French , for the Czechoslovakian Ambassador to Lithuania , signed by the President of Czechoslovakia and addressed to his Lithuanian counterpart The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations , which codified longstanding custom , operates under the presumption that the head of a diplomatic mission ( i.e. ambassador or nuncio ) of the sending state is accredited to the head of state of the receiving state . The head of state accredits ( i.e. formally validates ) his or her country 's ambassadors ( or rarer equivalent diplomatic mission chiefs , such as high commissioner or papal nuncio ) through sending formal a Letter of Credence ( and a Letter of Recall at the end of a tenure ) to other heads of state and , conversely , receives the letters of their foreign counterparts . Without that accreditation , the chief of the diplomatic mission can not take up their role and receive the highest diplomatic status . The role of a head of state in this regard , is codified in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations from 1961 , which ( as of 2017 ) 191 sovereign states has ratified . However , there are provisions in the Vienna Convention that a diplomatic agent of lesser rank , such as a Chargé d'affaires , is accredited to the minister of foreign affairs ( or equivalent ) . The head of state is often designated the high contracting party in international treaties on behalf of the state ; signs them either personally or has them signed in his / her name by ministers ( government members or diplomats ) ; subsequent ratification , when necessary , may rest with the legislature . The treaties constituting the European Union and the European Communities are noteworthy contemporary cases of multilateral treaties cast in this traditional format , as are the accession agreements of new member states . However , rather than being invariably concluded between two heads of state , it has become common that bilateral treaties are in present times cast in an intergovernmental format , e.g. , between the Government of X and the Government of Y , rather than between His Majesty the King of X and His Excellency the President of Y . Example 1 ( parliamentary monarchy ) : Article 8 of the Constitution of the Principality of Liechtenstein states : 1 ) The Reigning Prince shall represent the State in all its relations with foreign countries , without prejudice to the requisite participation of the responsible Government . 2 ) Treaties by which territory of the State would be ceded , State property alienated , sovereign rights or prerogatives of the State affected , a new burden imposed on the Principality or its citizens , or an obligation assumed that would limit the rights of the citizens of Liechtenstein shall require the assent of Parliament to attain legal force . Example 2 ( parliamentary republic ) : Article 59 ( 1 ) of the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany states : The Federal President shall represent the Federation in its international relations . He shall conclude treaties with foreign states on behalf of the Federation . He shall accredit and receive envoys ... Example 3 ( semi-presidential republic ) : Title II , Article 14 of the French Constitution of 1958 states : The President of the Republic shall accredit ambassadors and envoys extraordinary to foreign powers ; foreign ambassadors and envoys extraordinary shall be accredited to him . Example 4 ( semi-presidential republic ) : Chapter 4 , Article 86 , Section 4 of the Constitution of Russia states : The President of the Russian Federation : a ) shall direct the foreign policy of the Russian Federation ; b ) shall hold negotiations and sign international treaties of the Russian Federation ; c ) shall sign instruments of ratification ; d ) shall receive letters of credence and letters of recall of diplomatic representatives accredited to his ( her ) office . Example 5 ( single party republic ) : Section 2 , Article 81 of the Constitution of the People 's Republic of China states : The President of the People 's Republic of China receives foreign diplomatic representatives on behalf of the People 's Republic of China and , in pursuance of decisions of the Standing Committee of the National People 's Congress , appoints and recalls plenipotentiary representatives abroad , and ratifies and abrogates treaties and important agreements concluded with foreign states . In Canada , these head of state powers belong to the monarch as part of the Royal Prerogative , but the Governor General has been permitted to exercise them since 1947 and has done so since the 1970s . Military role Main article : Commander in Chief Albert II , King of the Belgians inspecting troops on Belgium 's national day in 2011 Nicolas Sarkozy , President of France and General Jean - Louis Georgelin , Chief of the Defence Staff , reviewing troops during the 2008 Bastille Day military parade on the Champs - Élysées in Paris A head of state is often , by virtue of holding the highest executive powers , explicitly designated as the commander - in - chief of that nation 's armed forces , holding the highest office in all military chains of command . In a constitutional monarchy or non-executive presidency , the head of state may de jure hold ultimate authority over the armed forces but will only normally , as per either written law or unwritten convention , exercise their authority on the advice of their responsible ministers : meaning that the de facto ultimate decision making on military maneuvers is made elsewhere . The head of state will , regardless of actual authority , perform ceremonial duties related to the country 's armed forces , and will sometimes appear in military uniform for these purposes ; particularly in monarchies where also the monarch 's consort and other members of a royal family may also appear in military garb . This is generally the only time a head of state of a stable , democratic country will appear dressed in such a manner , as statesmen and public are eager to assert the primacy of ( civilian , elected ) politics over the armed forces . In military dictatorships , or governments which have arisen from coups d'état , the position of commander - in - chief is obvious , as all authority in such a government derives from the application of military force ; occasionally a power vacuum created by war is filled by a head of state stepping beyond his or her normal constitutional role , as King Albert I of Belgium did during World War I. In these and in revolutionary regimes , the head of state , and often executive ministers whose offices are legally civilian , will frequently appear in military uniform . Example 1 ( parliamentary monarchy ) : Article III , Section 15 of the Constitution Act , 1867 , a part of the Constitution of Canada , states : The Command - in - Chief of the Land and Naval Militia , and of all Naval and Military Forces , of and in Canada , is hereby declared to continue to be vested in the Queen . Example 2 ( parliamentary monarchy ) : Article 25 of the Constitution of Norway states : The King is Commander - in - Chief of the land and naval forces of the Realm . These forces may not be increased or reduced without the consent of the Storting . They may not be transferred to the service of foreign powers , nor may the military forces of any foreign power , except auxiliary forces assisting against hostile attack , be brought into the Realm without the consent of the Storting . The territorial army and the other troops which can not be classed as troops of the line must never , without the consent of the Storting , be employed outside the borders of the Realm . Example 3 ( parliamentary republic ) : Chapter II , Article 87 , 4th section of the Constitution of Italy states : The President is the commander - in - chief of the armed forces , shall preside over the Supreme Council of Defense established by law , and shall make declarations of war as have been agreed by Parliament of Italy . Example 4 ( semi-presidential republic ) : Title II , Article 15 of the French Constitution of 1958 states : The President of the Republic shall be Commander - in - Chief of the Armed Forces . He shall preside over the higher national defence councils and committees . Example 5 ( semi-presidential republic ) : According to Chapter 4 , Article 87 , Section 1 of the Constitution of Russia : The President of the Russian Federation shall be the Supreme Commander - in - Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation . Example 6 ( presidential republic ) : Article II , Section 2 of the United States Constitution states : The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States , and of the Militia of the several States , when called into the actual Service of the United States . Example 7 ( executive monarchy ) : Article 65 of the Constitution of Qatar provides that : The Emir is the Commander - in - Chief of the armed forces . He shall supervise the same with the assistance of Defence Council under his direct authority . The said Council shall be constituted by an Emiri Resolution , which will also determine the functions thereof . Some countries with a parliamentary system designate officials other than the head of state with command - in - chief powers . In Germany , the Basic Law of the Federal Republic vests this authority in the Minister of Defence in normal peace - time ( article 65a ) , and that command authority is transferred to the Federal Chancellor when a State of Defence is invoked ( article 115b ) : something which has never happened so far . In Israel , the applicable basic law states that the ultimate authority over the Israel Defense Forces rests with the Government of Israel as a collective body . The authority of the Government is exercised by the Minister of Defense on behalf of the Government , and subordinate to the Minister is the Chief of General Staff who holds the highest level of command within the military . Legislative roles It is usual that the head of state , particularly in parliamentary systems as part of the symbolic role , is the one who opens the annual sessions of the legislature , e.g. the annual State Opening of Parliament with the Speech from the Throne in Britain . Even in presidential systems the head of state often formally reports to the legislature on the present national status , e.g. the State of the Union address in the United States of America . Most countries require that all bills passed by the house or houses of the legislature be signed into law by the head of state . In some states , such as the United Kingdom , Belgium and Ireland , the head of state is , in fact , formally considered a tier of the legislature . However , in most parliamentary systems , the head of state can not refuse to sign a bill , and , in granting a bill their assent , indicate that it was passed in accordance with the correct procedures . The signing of a bill into law is formally known as promulgation . Some monarchical states call this procedure royal assent . Example 1 ( non-executive parliamentary monarchy ) : Chapter 1 , Article 4 of the Swedish Riksdag Act provides that : The formal opening of a Riksdag session takes place at a special meeting of the Chamber held no later than the third day of the session . At this meeting , the Head of State declares the session open at the invitation of the Speaker . If the Head of State is unable to attend , the Speaker declares the session open . Example 2 ( parliamentary monarchy ) : Article 9 of the Constitution of the Principality of Liechtenstein provides that : Every law shall require the sanction of the Reigning Prince to attain legal force . Example 3 ( parliamentary republic ) : Section 11. a. 1 . of the Basic Laws of Israel states : The President of the State shall sign every Law , other than a Law relating to its powers . Example 4 ( semi-presidential republic ) : According to Chapter 4 , Article 84 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation : The President of the Russian Federation : a ) shall announce elections to the State Duma in accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation and federal law ; c ) shall announce referendums in accordance with the procedure established by federal constitutional law ; d ) shall submit draft laws to the State Duma ; e ) shall sign and promulgate federal laws ; f ) shall address the Federal Assembly with annual messages on the situation in the country and on the basic objectives of the internal and foreign policy of the State . Example 5 ( presidential republic ) : Article 1 , Section 7 of the United States Constitution states : Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate , shall , before it become a Law , be presented to the President of the United States ; If he approves he shall sign it , but if not he shall return it , with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated ... Example 6 ( presidential republic ) : Article 84 of the Brazilian Constitution provides that : The President of the Republic shall have the exclusive power to : III -- start the legislative procedure , in the manner and in the cases set forth in this Constitution ; IV - sanction , promulgate and order the publication of laws , as well as to issue decrees and regulations for the true enforcement thereof ; V - veto bills , wholly or in part ; XI - upon the opening of the legislative session , send a government message and plan to the National Congress , describing the state of the nation and requesting the actions he deems necessary ; XXIII - submit to the National Congress the pluriannual plan , the bill of budgetary directives and the budget proposals set forth in this Constitution ; XXIV - render , each year , accounts to the National Congress concerning the previous fiscal year , within sixty days of the opening of the legislative session . Example 7 ( ruling monarchy ) : Article 106 of the Constitution of Qatar states : 1 . Any draft law passed by the Council shall be referred to the Emir for ratification . 2 . If the Emir , declines to approve the draft law , he shall return it a long with the reasons for such declination to the Council within a period of three months from the date of referral . 3 . In the event that a draft law is returned to the Council within the period specified in the preceding paragraph and the Council passes the same once more with a two - thirds majority of all its Members , the Emir shall ratify and promulgate it . The Emir may in compelling circumstances order the suspension of this law for the period that he deems necessary to serve the higher interests of the country . If , however , the draft law is not passed by a two - thirds majority , it shall not be reconsidered within the same term of session . In some parliamentary systems , the head of state retains certain powers in relation to bills to be exercised at his or her discretion . They may have authority to veto a bill until the houses of the legislature have reconsidered it , and approved it a second time ; reserve a bill to be signed later , or suspend it indefinitely ( generally in states with royal prerogative ; this power is rarely used ) ; refer a bill to the courts to test its constitutionality ; refer a bill to the people in a referendum . If he or she is also chief executive , he or she can thus politically control the necessary executive measures without which a proclaimed law can remain dead letter , sometimes for years or even forever . Summoning and dissolving the legislature A head of state is often empowered to summon and dissolve the country 's legislature . In most parliamentary systems , this is often done on the advice of the head of government . In some parliamentary systems , and in some presidential systems , however , the head of state may do so on their own initiative . Some states have fixed term legislatures , with no option of bringing forward elections ( e.g. , Article II , Section 3 , of the U.S. Constitution ) . In other systems there are usually fixed terms , but the head of state retains authority to dissolve the legislature in certain circumstances . Where a head of government has lost support in the legislature , some heads of state may refuse a dissolution , where one is requested , thereby forcing the head of government 's resignation . Example 1 ( parliamentary non-executive republic ) : Article 13.2. 2 . of the Constitution of Ireland states : The President may in absolute discretion refuse to dissolve Dáil Éireann on the advice of a Taoiseach who has ceased to retain the support of a majority in Dáil Éireann . Example 2 ( semi-presidential republic ) : Title II , Article 12 , first sentence of the French Constitution of 1958 states : The President of the Republic may , after consulting the Prime Minister and the Presidents of the Houses of Parliament , declare the National Assembly dissolved . Example 3 ( semi-presidential republic ) : Chapter 4 , article 84 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation provides : The President of the Russian Federation : b ) shall dissolve the State Duma in the cases and in accordance with the procedure provided for by the Constitution of the Russian Federation ; Other prerogatives Granting nobility , knighthood and various titles and other honors Example 1 ( parliamentary monarchy ) : Article 113 of the Constitution of Belgium states : The King may confer titles of nobility , without ever having the power to attach privileges to them . Example 2 ( parliamentary monarchy ) : Article 23 of the Constitution of Norway states : The King may bestow orders upon whomever he pleases as a reward for distinguished services , and such orders must be publicly announced , but no rank or title other than that attached to any office . The order exempts no one from the common duties and burdens of citizens , nor does it carry with it any preferential admission to senior official posts in the State . Senior officials honorably discharged from office retain the title and rank of their office . This does not apply , however , to Members of the Council of State or the State Secretaries . No personal , or mixed , hereditary privileges may henceforth be granted to anyone . Example 3 ( parliamentary republic ) : Title II , Article 87 , 8th section of the Constitution of Italy states : The President shall confer the honorary distinctions of the Republic . Immunity See also : Sovereign immunity and Immunity from prosecution ( international law ) Example 1 ( parliamentary non-executive monarchy ) : Chapter 5 , Article 8 of the Swedish Instrument of Government of 1974 states : The King or Queen who is Head of State can not be prosecuted for his or her actions . Nor can a Regent be prosecuted for his or her actions as Head of State . Example 2 ( parliamentary monarchy ) : Article 5 of the Constitution of Norway states : The King 's person is sacred ; he can not be censured or accused . The responsibility rests with his Council . Example 3 ( parliamentary republic ) : Chapter 3 , Article 65 of the Constitution of the Czech Republic states : ( 1 ) President of the Republic may not be detained , subjected to criminal prosecution or prosecuted for offense or other administrative delict . ( 2 ) President of the Republic may be prosecuted for high treason at the Constitutional Court based on the Senate 's suit . The punishment may be the loss of his presidential office and of his eligibility to regain it . ( 3 ) Criminal prosecution for criminal offenses committed by the President of the Republic while executing his office shall be ruled out forever . Example 4 ( semi-presidential republic ) : Title II , Chapter I , Article 130 of the Constitution of Portugal states : 1 . The President of the Republic answers before the Supreme Court of Justice for crimes committed in the exercise of his functions . 2 . Proceedings may only be initiated by the Assembly of the Republic , upon a motion subscribed by one fifth and a decision passed by a two - thirds majority of all the Members of the Assembly of the Republic in full exercise of their office . 3 . Conviction implies removal from office and disqualification from re-election . 4 . For crimes that are not committed in the exercise of his functions , the President of the Republic answers before the common courts , once his term of office has ended . Example 5 ( executive monarchy ) : Article 64 of the Constitution of Qatar : The Emir is the head of State . His person shall be inviolable and he must be respected by all . Reserve powers See also : reserve power Example 1 ( semi-presidential republic ) : Title II , Article 16 of the French Constitution of 1958 states : Where the institutions of the Republic , the independence of the Nation , the integrity of its territory or the fulfilment of its international commitments are under serious and immediate threat , and where the proper functioning of the constitutional public authorities is interrupted , the President of the Republic shall take measures required by these circumstances , after formally consulting the Prime Minister , the Presidents of the Houses of Parliament and the Constitutional Council . He shall address the Nation and inform it of such measures . The measures shall be designed to provide the constitutional public authorities as swiftly as possible , with the means to carry out their duties . The Constitutional Council shall be consulted with regard to such measures . Parliament shall sit as of right . The National Assembly shall not be dissolved during the exercise of such emergency powers . After thirty days of the exercise of such emergency powers , the matter may be referred to the Constitutional Council by the President of the National Assembly , the President of the Senate , sixty Members of the National Assembly or sixty Senators , so as to decide if the conditions laid down in paragraph one still apply . The Council shall make its decision publicly as soon as possible . It shall , as of right , carry out such an examination and shall make its decision in the same manner after sixty days of the exercise of emergency powers or at any moment thereafter . Example 2 ( executive monarchy ) : Articles 69 & 70 of the Constitution of Qatar : Article 69 The Emir may , be a decree , declare Martial Laws in the country in the event of exceptional cases specified by the law ; and in such cases , he may take all urgent necessary measures to counter any threat that undermine the safety of the State , the integrity of its territories or the security of its people and interests or obstruct the organs of the State from performing their duties . However , the decree must specify the nature of such exceptional cases for which the martial laws have been declared and clarify the measures taken to address this situation . Al - Shoura Council shall be notified of this decree within the fifteen days following its issue ; and in the event that the Council is not in session for any reason whatsoever , the Council shall be notified of the decree at its first convening . Martial laws shall be declared for a limited period and the same shall not be extended unless approved by Al - Shoura Council . Article 70 The Emir may , in the event of exceptional cases that require measures of utmost urgency which necessitate the issue of special laws and in case that Al - Shoura Council is not in session , issue pertinent decrees that have the power of law . Such decree - laws shall be submitted to Al - Shoura Council at its first meeting ; and the Council may within a maximum period of forty days from the date of submission and with a two - thirds majority of its Members reject any of these decree - laws or request amendment thereof to be effected within a specified period of time ; such decree - laws shall cease to have the power of law from the date of their rejection by the Council or where the period for effecting the amendments have expired . Right of pardon See also : Pardon Example 1 ( parliamentary monarchy ) : Section 24 of the Constitution of Denmark states : The King can grant pardons and amnesties . He may only pardon Ministers convicted by the Court of Impeachment with the consent of Parliament . Example 2 ( parliamentary republic ) : According to Chapter V , Article 60 ( 2 ) of the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany : He ( The President ) shall exercise the power to pardon individual offenders on behalf of the Federation . Example 3 ( semi-presidential republic ) : Title II , Article 17 of the French Constitution of 1958 states : The President of the Republic is vested with the power to grant individual pardons . Example 4 ( presidential republic ) : Article II , Section 2 of the Constitution of the United States provides that : ... and he ( The President ) shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States , except in Cases of Impeachment . Example 5 ( presidential parliamentary republic ) : Part XI , Article 80 of the Constitution of Nauru : The President may - ( a ) grant a pardon , either free or subject to lawful conditions , to a person convicted of an offence ; ( b ) grant to a person a respite , either indefinite or for a specified period , of the execution of a punishment imposed on that person for an offence ; ( c ) substitute a less severe form of punishment for any punishment imposed on a person for an offence ; or ( d ) remit the whole or a part of a punishment imposed on a person for an offence or of a penalty or forfeiture on account of an offence . Governors - general ( Commonwealth realms ) Main article : Governor - General § Modern Commonwealth The Lord Tweedsmuir ( left ) was Governor General of Canada from 1935 to 1940 ; Sir Paulias Matane ( right ) was Governor - General of Papua New Guinea from 2004 to 2010 In the Commonwealth realms , other than the United Kingdom , a governor - general ( governor general in Canada ) is appointed by the sovereign , on the advice of the relevant prime minister , as a representative and to exercise almost all the Royal Prerogative according to established constitutional authority . In Australia the present Queen is generally assumed to be head of state , since the governor - general and the state governors are defined as her `` representatives '' . However , since the governor - general performs almost all national regal functions , the governor - general has occasionally been referred to as head of state in political and media discussion . To a lesser extent , uncertainty has been expressed in Canada as to which officeholder -- the monarch , the governor general , or both -- can be considered the head of state . New Zealand , Papua New Guinea , and Tuvalu explicitly name the monarch as their head of state ( though Tuvalu 's constitution states that `` references in any law to the Head of State shall be read as including a reference to the Governor - General '' ) . Governors - general are frequently treated as heads of state on state and official visits ; at the United Nations , they are accorded the status of head of state in addition to the sovereign . An example of a governor - general departing from constitutional convention by acting unilaterally ( that is , without direction from ministers , parliament , or the monarch ) occurred in 1926 , when Canada 's governor general refused the head of government 's formal advice requesting a dissolution of parliament and a general election . In a letter informing the monarch after the event , the Governor General said : `` I have to await the verdict of history to prove my having adopted a wrong course , and this I do with an easy conscience that , right or wrong , I have acted in the interests of Canada and implicated no one else in my decision . '' Another example occurred when , in the 1975 Australian constitutional crisis , the Governor - General unexpectedly dismissed the Prime Minister in order to break a stalemate between the House of Representatives and Senate over money bills . The Governor - General issued a public statement saying he felt it was the only solution consistent with the constitution , his oath of office , and his responsibilities , authority , and duty as governor - general . A letter from the Australian monarch 's Private Secretary at the time , Martin Charteris , confirmed that the only person competent to commission an Australian prime minister was the governor - general and it would not be proper for the monarch to personally intervene in matters that the Constitution Act so clearly places within the governor - general 's jurisdiction . Other Commonwealth realms that are now constituted with a governor - general as the viceregal representative of Elizabeth II are : Antigua and Barbuda , the Bahamas , Belize , Grenada , Jamaica , New Zealand , Saint Kitts and Nevis , Saint Lucia , and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines . Selection and various types and styles of heads of state Although many constitutions , particularly from the 19th century and earlier , make no explicit mention of a head of state in the generic sense of several present day international treaties , the officeholders corresponding to this position are recognized as such by other countries . In a monarchy , the monarch is generally understood to be the head of state . In a republic , the head of state nowadays usually bears the title of President , but some have or had had other titles . In medieval Europe , it was universally accepted that the Pope ranked first among all rulers and was followed by the Holy Roman Emperor . The Pope also had the sole right to determine the precedence of all others . This principle was first challenged by a Protestant ruler , Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden and was later maintained by his country at the Congress of Westphalia . Great Britain would later claim a break of the old principle for the Quadruple Alliance in 1718 . However , it was not until the 1815 Congress of Vienna , when it was decided ( due to the abolition of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806 and the weak position of France and other catholic states to assert themselves ) and remains so to this day , that all sovereign states are treated as equals , whether monarchies or republics . On occasions when multiple heads of state or their representatives meet , precedence is by the host usually determined in alphabetical order ( in whatever language the host determines , although French has for much of the 19th and 20th centuries been the lingua franca of diplomacy ) or by date of accession . Contemporary international law on precedence , built upon the universally admitted principles since 1815 , derives from the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations ( in particular , articles 13 , 16.1 and Appendix iii ) . There are also several methods of head of state succession in the event of the removal , disability or death of an incumbent head of state . European writers and revolutions , 16th -- 20th centuries Niccolò Machiavelli used Prince ( Italian : Principe ) as a generic term for the ruler , similar to contemporary usage of head of state , in his classical treatise The Prince , originally published in 1532 : in fact that particular literary genre it belongs to is known as Mirrors for princes . Thomas Hobbes in his Leviathan ( 1651 ) used the term Sovereign . In Europe the role of a monarchs has gradually transitioned from that of a sovereign ruler -- in the sense of Divine Right of Kings as articulated by Jean Bodin , Absolutism and the `` L'etat c'est moi '' -- to that of a constitutional monarch ; parallel with the conceptual evolution of sovereignty from merely the personal rule of a single person , to Westphalian sovereignty ( Peace of Westphalia ending both the Thirty Years ' War & Eighty Years ' War ) and popular sovereignty as in consent of the governed ; as shown in the Glorious Revolution of 1688 in England & Scotland , the French Revolution in 1789 , and the German Revolution of 1918 -- 1919 . The monarchies who survived through this era were the ones who were willing to subject themselves to constitutional limitations . Titles commonly used by monarchs are King / Queen or Emperor / Empress , but also many other ; e.g. , Grand Duke , Prince , Emir and Sultan . European writers of 16th and 17th centuries Title page of 1550 Italian edition of Machiavelli 's The Prince Bodin named on title page of Discorsi politici ( 1602 ) by Fabio Albergati who compared Bodin 's political theories unfavourably with those of Aristotle Frontispiece of Thomas Hobbes ' Leviathan ( 1651 ) Shared and substitute heads of state Interim Whenever a head of state is not available for any reason , constitutional provisions may allow the role to fall temporarily to an assigned person or collective body . In a republic , this is - depending on provisions outlined by the constitution or improvised - a vice president , the chief of government , the legislature or its presiding officer . In a monarchy , this is usually a regent or collegial regency ( council ) . For example , in the United States the Vice President acts when the President is incapacitated , and in the United Kingdom the Queen 's powers may be delegated to Counselors of State when she is abroad or unavailable . Shared In some countries where there is no resident head of state , such as Andorra , a local representative is appointed . In the case of Andorra , two co-princes act as the principality 's heads of state ; one is also simultaneously the President of France , residing in France , and the other is the Bishop of Urgell , residing in Spain . Each co-prince is represented in Andorra by a delegate , though these persons hold no formal title . Extraordinary arrangements In exceptional situations , such as war , occupation , revolution or a coup d'état , constitutional institutions , including the symbolically crucial head of state , may be reduced to a figurehead or be suspended in favor of an emergency office ( such as the original Roman Dictator ) or eliminated by a new `` provisionary '' regime , such as a collective of the junta type , or removed by an occupying force , such as a military governor ( an early example being the Spartan Harmost ) . Religious heads of state Francis , from March 2013 the sovereign of the Vatican City State , an ex officio role of the Pope Since antiquity , various dynasties or individual rulers have claimed the right to rule by divine authority , such as the Mandate of Heaven and the divine right of kings . Some monarchs even claimed divine ancestry , such as Egyptian pharaohs and Sapa Incas , who claimed descent from their respective sun gods and often sought to maintain this bloodline by practicing incestuous marriage . In Ancient Rome , during the Principate , the title divus ( ' divine ' ) was conferred ( notably posthumously ) on the emperor , a symbolic , legitimating element in establishing a de facto dynasty . Christianity In Roman Catholicism , the pope was once sovereign pontiff and head of state , first , of the politically important Papal States . After Italian unification , the pope remains head of state of Vatican City . Furthermore , the Bishop of Urgell is ex officio one of the two Co-Princes of Andorra . In the Church of England , the reigning monarch holds the title Defender of the Faith and acts as Supreme Governor of the Church of England , although this is purely a symbolic role . Islam Abdulmecid II is the 150th and last Caliph of Islam from Ottoman dynasty During the early period of Islam , caliphs were spiritual and temporal absolute successors of the Prophet Mohammed . Various political Muslim leaders since have styled themselves Caliph and served as dynastic heads of state , sometimes in addition to another title , such as the Ottoman Sultan . Historically , some theocratic Islamic states known as imamates have been led by imams as head of state , such as in what is now Oman , Yemen , and Saudi Arabia . In the Islamic Republic of Iran , the Supreme Leader , at present Ali Khamenei serves as head of state . The Aga Khans , a unique dynasty of temporal / religious leadership , leading an offshoot of Shia Islam in Central and South Asia , once ranking among British India 's princely states , continue to the present day . Hinduism In Hinduism , certain dynasties adopted a title expressing their positions as `` servant '' of a patron deity of the state , but in the sense of a viceroy under an absentee god - king , ruling `` in the name of '' the patron god ( ess ) , such as Patmanabha Dasa ( servant of Vishnu ) in the case of the Maharaja of Travancore . Buddhism From the time of the 5th Dalai Lama until the political retirement of the 14th Dalai Lama in 2011 , Dalai Lamas were both political and spiritual leaders ( `` god - king '' ) of Tibet . Outer Mongolia , the former homeland of the imperial dynasty of Genghis Khan , was another lamaist theocracy from 1585 , using various styles , such as tulku . The establishment of the Communist Mongolian People 's Republic replaced this regime in 1924 . City states and crowned republics The polis in Greek Antiquity and the equivalent city states in the feudal era and later , ( many in Italy , the Holy Roman Empire , the Moorish taifa in Iberia , essentially tribal - type but urbanized regions throughout the world in the Maya civilization , etc . ) offer a wide spectrum of styles , either monarchic ( mostly identical to homonyms in larger states ) or republican , see Chief magistrate . Doges were elected by their Italian aristocratic republics from a patrician nobility , but `` reigned '' as sovereign dukes . The paradoxical term crowned republic refers to various state arrangements that combine `` republican '' and `` monarchic '' characteristics . The Netherlands historically had officials called stadholders and stadholders - general , titles meaning `` lieutenant '' or `` governor '' , originally for the Habsburg monarchs . Multiple or collective heads of state A collective head of state can exist in republics ( internal complexity ) , e.g. , nominal triumvirates , the Directoire , the seven - member Swiss Federal Council ( where each member acts in turn as president for one year ) , Bosnia and Herzegovina with a three - member presidium from three different nations , San Marino with two `` Captains - regent '' which maintains the tradition of Italian medieval republics that had always had an even number of consuls . In condominiums , sovereignty is shared between two external powers , e.g. , Andorra ( president of France and bishop of Urgell , Spain , co-princes ) , and the former Anglo - French New Hebrides ( each nation 's head of state was represented by a high commissioner ) . In the Roman Republic there were two heads of state , styled Consul , both of whom alternated months of authority during their year in office , similarly there was an even number of supreme magistrates in the Italic republics of Ancient Age . In the Athenian Republic there were nine supreme magistrates , styled archons . In Carthage there were two supreme magistrates , styled kings or suffetes ( judges ) . In ancient Sparta there were two hereditary kings , belonging to two different dynasties . In the Soviet Union the Central Executive Committee of the Congress of Soviets ( between 1922 - 1938 ) and later the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet ( between 1938 - 1989 ) served as the collective head of state . After World War II the Soviet model was subsequently adopted by almost all countries belonged to its sphere of influence . Czechoslovakia remained the only country among them that retained an office of president as a form of a single head of state throughout this period , followed by Romania in 1974 . Such arrangements are not to be confused with supranational entities which are not states and are not defined by a common monarchy but may ( or not ) have a symbolic , essentially protocollary , titled highest office , e.g. , Head of the Commonwealth ( held by the British crown , but not legally reserved for it ) or ' Head of the Arab Union ' ( 14 February - 14 July 1958 , held by the Hashemite King of Iraq , during its short - lived Federation with Jordan , its Hashemite sister - realm ) . The National Government of the Republic of China , established in 1928 , had a panel of about 40 people as collective head of state . Though beginning that year , a provisional constitution made the Kuomintang the sole government party and the National Government bound to the instructions of the Central Executive Committee of that party . Unique cases and titles Though president and various monarchichal titles are most commonly used for heads of state , in some nationalistic regimes , the leader adopts , formally or de facto , a unique style simply meaning `` leader '' in the national language , e.g. , Germany 's single national socialist party chief and combined head of state and government , Adolf Hitler , as the Führer between 1934 and 1945 . In 1959 , when former British crown colony Singapore gained self - government , it adopted the Malay style Yang di - Pertuan Negara ( literally means `` head of state '' in Malay ) for its governor ( the actual head of state remained the British monarch ) . The second and last incumbent of the office , Yusof bin Ishak , kept the style at 31 August 1963 unilateral declaration of independence and after 16 September 1963 accession to Malaysia as a state ( so now as a constituent part of the federation , a non-sovereign level ) . After its expulsion from Malaysia on 9 August 1965 , Singapore became a sovereign Commonwealth republic and installed Yusof bin Ishak as its first President . In 1959 after the resignation of Vice President of Indonesia Mohammad Hatta , President Sukarno abolished the position and title of vice president , assuming the positions of Prime Minister and Head of Cabinet . He also proclaimed himself president for life ( Indonesian : Presiden Seumur Hidup Panglima Tertinggi ; `` panglima '' meaning `` commander or martial figurehead '' , `` tertinggi '' meaning `` highest '' ; roughly translated to English as `` Supreme Commander of the Revolution '' ) . He was praised as `` Paduka Yang Mulia '' , a Malay honorific originally given to kings ; Sukarno awarded himself titles in that fashion due to his noble ancestry . There are also a few nations in which the exact title and definition of the office of head of state have been vague . During the Chinese Cultural Revolution , following the downfall of Liu Shaoqi , who was Chairman of the People 's Republic of China , no successor was named , so the duties of the head of state were transferred collectively to the Standing Committee of the National People 's Congress . This situation was later changed : the Head of State of the PRC is now the President of the People 's Republic of China . In North Korea , the late Kim Il - sung was named `` Eternal President '' 4 years after his death and the presidency was abolished . As a result , some of the duties previously held by the President are constitutionally delegated to the Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme People 's Assembly , who performs some of the roles of a Head of State , such as accrediting foreign ambassadors and undertaking overseas visits . However , the symbolic role of a Head of State is generally performed by Kim Jong - un , who as the leader of the party and military , is the most powerful person in North Korea . There is debate as to whether Samoa was an elective monarchy or an aristocratic republic , given the comparative ambiguity of the title O le Ao o le Malo and the nature of the head of state 's office . In some states the office of head of state is not expressed in a specific title reflecting that role , but constitutionally awarded to a post of another formal nature . Thus in March 1979 Colonel Muammar Gaddafi , who kept absolute power ( until his overthrow in 2011 referred to as `` Guide of the Revolution '' ) , after ten years as combined Head of State and Head of government of the Libyan Jamahiriya ( `` state of the masses '' ) , styled Chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council , formally transferred both qualities to the General secretaries of the General People 's Congress ( comparable to a Speaker ) respectively to a Prime Minister , in political reality both were his creatures . Sometimes a head of state assumes office as a state becomes legal and political reality , before a formal title for the highest office is determined ; thus in the since 1 January 1960 independent republic Cameroon ( Cameroun , a former French colony ) , the first President , Ahmadou Babatoura Ahidjo , was at first not styled président but ' merely ' known as chef d'état - ( French ' head of state ' ) until 5 May 1960 . In Uganda , Idi Amin the military leader after the coup of 25 January 1971 was formally styled military head of state till 21 February 1971 , only from then on regular ( but unconstitutional , not elected ) president . In certain cases a special style is needed to accommodate imperfect statehood , e.g. , the title Sardar - i - Riyasat was used in Kashmir after its accession to India , and the Palestine Liberation Organization leader , Yasser Arafat , was styled the first `` President of the Palestinian National Authority '' in 1994 . In 2008 , the same office was restyled as `` President of the State of Palestine '' . Legitimacy The position of head of state can be established in different ways , and with different sources of legitimacy . By fiction or fiat Power can come from force , but formal legitimacy is often established , even if only by fictitious claims of continuity ( e.g. , a forged claim of descent from a previous dynasty ) . There have been cases of sovereignty granted by deliberate act , even when accompanied by orders of succession ( as may be the case in a dynastic split ) . Such grants of sovereignty are usually forced , as is common with self - determination granted after nationalist revolts . This occurred with the last Attalid king of Hellenistic Pergamon , who by testament left his realm to Rome to avoid a disastrous conquest . By divine appointment Under a theocracy , perceived divine status translated into earthly authority under divine law . This can take the form of supreme divine authority above the state 's , granting a tool for political influence to a priesthood . In this way , the Amun priesthood reversed the reforms of Pharaoh Akhenaten after his death . The division of theocratic power can be disputed , as happened between the Pope and Holy Roman Emperor in the investiture conflict when the temporal power sought to control key clergy nominations in order to guarantee popular support , and thereby his own legitimacy , by incorporating the formal ceremony of unction during coronation . By social contract The notion of a social contract holds that the nation -- either the whole people or the electorate -- gives a mandate , through acclamation or election . By Constitution Individual heads of state may acquire their position by virtue of a constitution . An example includes SFR Yugoslavia whose Constitution from 1974 , article 333 , stated that Federal Assembly can appoint namely Josip Broz Tito as the President of Republic without time limitation . By hereditary succession Four generations of Danish kings in 1903 : King Christian IX ( left ) , Christian ( X ) ( back ) , Frederick ( VIII ) ( right ) , and Frederick ( IX ) ( front ) The position of a monarch is usually hereditary , but in constitutional monarchies , there are usually restrictions on the incumbent 's exercise of powers and prohibitions on the possibility of choosing a successor by other means than by birth . In a hereditary monarchy , the position of monarch is inherited according to a statutory or customary order of succession , usually within one royal family tracing its origin through a historical dynasty or bloodline . This usually means that the heir to the throne is known well in advance of becoming monarch to ensure a smooth succession . However , many cases of uncertain succession in European history have often led to wars of succession . Primogeniture , in which the eldest child of the monarch is first in line to become monarch , is the most common system in hereditary monarchy . The order of succession is usually affected by rules on gender . Historically `` agnatic primogeniture '' or `` patrilineal primogeniture '' was favoured , that is inheritance according to seniority of birth among the sons of a monarch or head of family , with sons and their male issue inheriting before brothers and their issue , and male - line males inheriting before females of the male line . This is the same as semi-Salic primogeniture . Complete exclusion of females from dynastic succession is commonly referred to as application of the Salic law ( see Terra salica ) . Before primogeniture was enshrined in European law and tradition , kings would often secure the succession by having their successor ( usually their eldest son ) crowned during their own lifetime , so for a time there would be two kings in coregency -- a senior king and a junior king . Examples include Henry the Young King of England and the early Direct Capetians in France . Sometimes , however , primogeniture can operate through the female line . In some systems a female may rule as monarch only when the male line dating back to a common ancestor is exhausted . In 1980 , Sweden , by rewriting its 1810 Act of Succession , became the first European monarchy to declare equal ( full cognatic ) primogeniture , meaning that the eldest child of the monarch , whether female or male , ascends to the throne . Other European monarchies ( such as the Netherlands in 1983 , Norway in 1990 and Belgium in 1991 ) have since followed suit . Similar reforms were proposed in 2011 for the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms , which came into effect in 2015 after having been approved by all of the affected nations . Sometimes religion is affected ; under the Act of Settlement 1701 all Roman Catholics and all persons who have married Roman Catholics are ineligible to be the British monarch and are skipped in the order of succession . In some monarchies there may be liberty for the incumbent , or some body convening after his or her demise , to choose from eligible members of the ruling house , often limited to legitimate descendants of the dynasty 's founder . Rules of succession may be further limited by state religion , residency , equal marriage or even permission from the legislature . Other hereditary systems of succession included tanistry , which is semi-elective and gives weight to merit and Agnatic seniority . In some monarchies , such as Saudi Arabia , succession to the throne usually first passes to the monarch 's next eldest brother , and only after that to the monarch 's children ( agnatic seniority ) . By election Election usually is the constitutional way to choose the head of state of a republic , and some monarchies , either directly through popular election , indirectly by members of the legislature or of a special college of electors ( such as the Electoral College in the United States ) , or as an exclusive prerogative . Exclusive prerogative allows the heads of states of constituent monarchies of a federation to choose the head of state for the federation among themselves , as in the United Arab Emirates and Malaysia . The Pope , head of state of Vatican City , is chosen by previously appointed cardinals under 80 years of age from among themselves in a papal conclave . By appointment A head of state can be empowered to designate his successor , such as Lord Protector of the Commonwealth Oliver Cromwell , who was succeeded by his son Richard . By force or Revolution A head of state may seize power by force or revolution . This is not the same as the use of force to maintain power , as is practiced by authoritarian or totalitarian rulers . Dictators often use democratic titles , though some proclaim themselves monarchs . Examples of the latter include Emperor Napoleon III of France and King Zog of Albania . In Spain , general Francisco Franco adopted the formal title Jefe del Estado , or Chief of State , and established himself as regent for a vacant monarchy . Uganda 's Idi Amin was one of several who named themselves President for Life . By foreign imposition A foreign power can establishing a branch of their own dynasty , or one friendly to their interests . This was the outcome of the Russo - Swedish War from 1741 to 1743 where the Russian Empress made the imposition of her relative Adolf Frederick as the heir to the Swedish Throne , to succeed Frederick I who lacked legitimate issue , as a peace condition . Loss Apart from violent overthrow , a head of state 's position can be lost in several ways , including death , another by expiration of the constitutional term of office , abdication , or resignation . In some cases , an abdication can not occur unilaterally , but comes into effect only when approved by an act of parliament , as in the case of British King Edward VIII . The post can also be abolished by constitutional change ; in such cases , an incumbent may be allowed to finish his or her term . Of course , a head of state position will cease to exist if the state itself does . Heads of state generally enjoy widest inviolability , although some states allow impeachment , or a similar constitutional procedure by which the highest legislative or judicial authorities are empowered to revoke the head of state 's mandate on exceptional grounds . This may be a common crime , a political sin , or an act by which he or she violates such provisions as an established religion mandatory for the monarch . By similar procedure , an original mandate may be declared invalid . Former heads of state The National Monument to Kaiser Wilhelm I in Berlin , Germany , dedicated 1897 Effigies , memorials and monuments of former heads of state can be designed to represent the history or aspirations of a state or its people , such as the equestrian bronze sculpture of Kaiser Wilhelm I , first Emperor of a unified Germany erected in Berlin at the end of the nineteenth century ( monument demolished 1950 ) ; or the Victoria Memorial erected in front of Buckingham Palace London , commemorating Queen Victoria and her reign ( 1837 -- 1901 ) , and unveiled in 1911 by her grandson , King George V ; or the monument , placed in front of the Victoria Memorial Hall , Kolkata ( Calcutta ) ( 1921 ) , commemorating Queen Victoria 's reign as Empress of India from 1876 . Another , twentieth century , example is the Mount Rushmore National Memorial , a group sculpture constructed ( 1927 -- 1941 ) on a conspicuous skyline in the Black Hills of South Dakota ( 40th state of the Union , 1889 ) , in the midwestern United States , representing the territorial expansion of the United States in the first 130 years from its founding , which is promoted as the `` Shrine of Democracy '' . Personal influence or privileges Former Presidents of the United States , while holding no political powers per se , sometimes continue to exert influence in national and world affairs . A monarch may retain his style and certain prerogatives after abdication , as did King Leopold III of Belgium , who left the throne to his son after winning a referendum which allowed him to retain a full royal household deprived him of a constitutional or representative role . Napoleon transformed the Italian principality of Elba , where he was imprisoned , into a miniature version of his First Empire , with most trappings of a sovereign monarchy , until his Cent Jours escape and reseizure of power in France convinced his opponents , reconvening the Vienna Congress in 1815 , to revoke his gratuitous privileges and send him to die in exile on barren Saint Helena . By tradition , deposed monarchs who have not freely abdicated continue to use their monarchical titles as a courtesy for the rest of their lives . Hence , even after Constantine II ceased to be King of the Hellenes , it is still common to refer to the deposed king and his family as if they were still on the throne , as many European royal courts and households do in guest lists at royal weddings , as in Sweden in 2010 , Britain in 2011 and Luxembourg in 2012 . The Republic of Greece oppose the right of their deposed monarch and former royal family members to be referred to by their former titles or bearing a surname indicating royal status , and has enacted legislation which hinder acquisition of Greek citizenship unless those terms are met . The former king brought this issue , along with property ownership issues , before the European Court of Human Rights for alleged violations of the European Convention on Human Rights , but lost with respect to the name issue . However , some other states have no problem with deposed monarchs being referred to by their former title , and even allow them to travel internationally on the state 's diplomatic passport . In the Italian constitution provides that after the period sent the President of the Republic takes the title President Emeritus of the Italian Republic is also a senator for life , and enjoys immunity , flight status and official residences certain privileges .

The pragmatic suggestions of Pombal was not successful , and as the pretensions among the great powers were so deep - rooted , it would take the Napoleonic Wars for the great powers to have a fresh look at the issue .

Roman aqueduct
Roman aqueduct - wikipedia Roman aqueduct Jump to : navigation , search The multiple arches of the Pont du Gard in Roman Gaul ( modern - day southern France ) . The upper tier encloses an aqueduct that carried water to Nimes in Roman times ; its lower tier was expanded in the 1740s to carry a wide road across the river . Play media Aerial footage of a Roman provincial aqueduct at Mória ( Lesbos ) The Romans constructed aqueducts throughout their Empire , to bring water from outside sources into cities and towns . Aqueduct water supplied public baths , latrines , fountains , and private households ; it also supported mining operations , milling , farms , and gardens . Aqueducts moved water through gravity alone , along a slight overall downward gradient within conduits of stone , brick , or concrete ; the steeper the gradient , the faster the flow . Most conduits were buried beneath the ground and followed the contours of the terrain ; obstructing peaks were circumvented or , less often , tunneled through . Where valleys or lowlands intervened , the conduit was carried on bridgework , or its contents fed into high - pressure lead , ceramic , or stone pipes and siphoned across . Most aqueduct systems included sedimentation tanks , which helped reduce any water - borne debris . Sluices and castella aquae ( distribution tanks ) regulated the supply to individual destinations . In cities and towns , the run - off water from aqueducts scoured the drains and sewers . Rome 's first aqueduct was built in 312 BC , and supplied a water fountain at the city 's cattle market . By the 3rd century AD , the city had eleven aqueducts , sustaining a population of over a million in a water - extravagant economy ; most of the water supplied the city 's many public baths . Cities and towns throughout the Roman Empire emulated this model , and funded aqueducts as objects of public interest and civic pride , `` an expensive yet necessary luxury to which all could , and did , aspire '' . Most Roman aqueducts proved reliable , and durable ; some were maintained into the early modern era , and a few are still partly in use . Methods of aqueduct surveying and construction are noted by Vitruvius in his work De Architectura ( 1st century BC ) . The general Frontinus gives more detail in his official report on the problems , uses and abuses of Imperial Rome 's public water supply . Notable examples of aqueduct architecture include the supporting piers of the Aqueduct of Segovia , and the aqueduct - fed cisterns of Constantinople .

'' Dionysius of Halicarnassus , Roman Antiquities Before the development of aqueduct technology , Romans , like most of their contemporaries in the ancient world , relied on local water sources such as springs and streams , supplemented by groundwater from privately or publicly owned wells , and by seasonal rain - water drained from rooftops into storage jars and cisterns . The reliance of ancient communities upon such water resources restricted their potential growth . Rome 's aqueducts were not strictly Roman inventions -- their engineers would have been familiar with the water - management technologies of Rome 's Etruscan and Greek allies -- but they proved conspicuously successful . By the early Imperial era , the city 's aqueducts supported a population of over a million , and an extravagant water supply for public amenities had become a fundamental part of Roman life . The run - off of aqueduct water scoured the sewers of cities and towns . Water from aqueducts was also used to supply villas , ornamental urban and suburban gardens , market gardens , farms , and agricultural estates , the latter being the core of Rome 's economy and wealth . Rome 's aqueducts ( edit ) See also : List of aqueducts in the city of Rome Map of Rome 's aqueducts Large scale map showing sources Rome 's Porta Maggiore , formed by a supporting arch of the Aqua Claudia and Rome 's highest elevated aqueduct , the Aqua Anio Novus . Rome had several springs within its perimeter walls but its groundwater was notoriously unpalatable ; water from the river Tiber was badly affected by pollution and waterborne diseases . The city 's demand for water had probably long exceeded its local supplies by 312 BC , when the city 's first aqueduct , the Aqua Appia , was commissioned by the censor Appius Claudius Caecus . The Aqua Appia was one of two major public projects of the time ; the other was a military road between Rome and Capua , the first leg of the so - called Appian Way . Both projects had significant strategic value , as the Third Samnite War had been under way for some thirty years by that point . The road allowed rapid troop movements ; and by design or fortunate coincidence , most of the Aqua Appia ran within a buried conduit , relatively secure from attack . It was fed by a spring 16.4 km from Rome , and dropped 10 metres over its length to discharge approximately 75,500 cubic metres of water each day into a fountain at Rome 's cattle market , the Forum Boarium , one of the city 's lowest - lying public spaces . A second aqueduct , the Aqua Anio Vetus , was commissioned some forty years later , funded by treasures seized from Pyrrhus of Epirus . Its flow was more than twice that of the Aqua Appia , and it entered the city on raised arches , supplying water to higher elevations of the city . By 145 BC , the city had again outgrown its combined supplies . An official commission found the aqueduct conduits decayed , their water depleted by leakage and illegal tapping . The praetor Quintus Marcius Rex restored them , and introduced a third , `` more wholesome '' supply , the Aqua Marcia , Rome 's longest aqueduct and high enough to supply the Capitoline Hill . The works cost 180,000,000 sesterces , and took two years to complete . As demand grew still further , more aqueducts were built , including the Aqua Tepula in 127 BC and the Aqua Julia in 33 BC . Aqueduct - building programmes reached a peak in the Imperial Era . Augustus ' reign saw the building of the Aqua Virgo , and the short Aqua Alsietina that supplied Trastevere 's artificial lake with water for staged sea - fights to entertain the populace . Another short Augustan aqueduct supplemented the Aqua Marcia with water of `` excellent quality '' . The emperor Caligula added or began two aqueducts completed by his successor Claudius ; the 69 km ( 42.8 mile ) Aqua Claudia , which gave good quality water but failed on several occasions ; and the Anio Novus , highest of all Rome 's aqueducts and one of the most reliable but prone to muddy , discoloured waters , particularly after rain , despite its use of settling tanks . Most of Rome 's aqueducts drew on various springs in the valley and highlands of the Anio , the modern river Aniene , east of the Tiber . A complex system of aqueduct junctions , tributary feeds and distribution tanks supplied every part of the city . Trastevere , the city region west of the Tiber , was primarily served by extensions of several of the city 's eastern aqueducts , carried across the river by lead pipes buried in the roadbed of the river bridges , thus forming an inverted siphon . Whenever this cross-river supply had to be shut down for routine repair and maintenance works , the `` positively unwholesome '' waters of the Aqua Alsietina were used to supply Trastevere 's public fountains . The situation was finally ameliorated when the emperor Trajan built the Aqua Traiana in 109 AD , bringing clean water directly to Trastavere from aquifers around Lake Bracciano . By the late 3rd century AD , the city was supplied with water by 11 state - funded aqueducts . Their combined conduit length is estimated between 780 and a little over 800 kilometres , of which approximately 47 km ( 29 mi ) were carried above ground level , on masonry supports . They supplied around 1 million cubic metres ( 300 million gallons ) a day : a capacity 126 % of the current water supply of the city of Bangalore , which has a population of 10 million .

Aqueducts in the Roman Empire ( edit ) See also : List of aqueducts in the Roman Empire `` Galería de los Espejos '' ( Gallery of Mirrors ) , a tunneled part of a 25 km Roman aqueduct built during the 1st century AD near Albarracín ( Spain ) Hundreds of similar aqueducts were built throughout the Roman Empire . Many of them have since collapsed or been destroyed , but a number of intact portions remain . The Zaghouan Aqueduct is 92.5 km ( 57.5 mi ) in length . It was built in the 2nd century to supply Carthage ( in modern Tunisia ) . Surviving aqueduct bridges include the Pont du Gard in France and the Aqueduct of Segovia in Spain . The longest single conduit , at over 240 km , is associated with the Valens Aqueduct of Constantinople ( Mango 1995 ) . `` The known system is at least two and half times the length of the longest recorded Roman aqueducts at Carthage and Cologne , but perhaps more significantly it represents one of the most outstanding surveying achievements of any pre-industrial society '' . Rivalling this in terms of length and possibly equaling or exceeding it in cost and complexity , is the provincial Aqua Augusta that supplied an entire region , which contained at least eight cities , including the major ports at Naples and Misenum ; sea voyages by traders and the Roman navy required copious supplies of fresh water . Planning , surveying and construction ( edit ) Planning ( edit ) Whether state - funded or privately built , aqueducts were protected and regulated by law . Any proposed aqueduct had to be submitted to the scrutiny of civil authorities . Permission ( from the senate or local authorities ) was granted only if the proposal respected the water rights of other citizens ; on the whole , Roman communities took care to allocate shared water resources according to need . The land on which a state - funded aqueduct was built might be state land ( ager publicus ) or privately owned , but in either case was subject to restrictions on usage and encroachment that might damage the fabric of the aqueduct . To this end , state funded aqueducts reserved a wide corridor of land , up to 15 feet each side of the aqueduct 's outer fabric . Ploughing , planting and building were prohibited within this boundary . Such regulation was necessary to the aqueduct 's long - term integrity and maintenance but was not always readily accepted or easily enforced at a local level , particularly when ager publicus was understood to be common property . Some privately built or smaller municipal aqueducts may have required less stringent and formal arrangements . Sources and surveying ( edit ) Springs were by far the most common sources for aqueduct water ; for example , most of Rome 's supply came from various springs in the Anio valley and its uplands . Spring - water was fed into a stone or concrete springhouse , then entered the aqueduct conduit . Scattered springs would require several branch conduits feeding into a main channel . Some systems drew water from open , purpose - built , dammed reservoirs , such as the two ( still in use ) that supplied the aqueduct at the provincial city of Emerita Augusta . The territory over which the aqueduct ran had to be carefully surveyed to ensure the water would flow at an acceptable gradient for the entire distance . Roman engineers used various surveying tools to plot the course of aqueducts across the landscape . They checked horizontal levels with a chorobates , a flatbedded wooden frame fitted with a water level . They plotted courses and angles could be plotted and checked using a groma , a relatively simple apparatus that was probably displaced by the more sophisticated dioptra , precursor of the modern theodolite . In Book 8 of his De Architectura , Vitruvius describes the need to ensure a constant supply , methods of prospecting , and tests for potable water . Health issues ( edit ) Greek and Roman physicians knew the association between stagnant or tainted waters and water - borne disease . They also knew the adverse health effects of lead on those who mined and processed it , and for this reason , ceramic pipes were preferred over lead . Where lead pipes were used , a continuous water - flow and the inevitable deposition of water - borne minerals within the pipes somewhat reduced the water 's contamination by soluble lead . Nevertheless , the level of lead in this water was 100 times higher than in local spring waters . Conduits and gradients ( edit ) The water conduit of the Tarragona Aqueduct , Spain . Most Roman aqueducts were flat - bottomed , arch - section conduits that ran 0.5 to 1 m beneath the ground surface , with inspection - and - access covers at regular intervals . Conduits above ground level were usually slab - topped . Early conduits were ashlar - built but from around the late Republican era , brick - faced concrete was often used instead . The concrete used for conduit linings was usually waterproof . The flow of water depended on gravity alone . The volume of water transported within the conduit depended on the catchment hydrology -- rainfall , absorption , and runoff -- the cross section of the conduit , and its gradient ; most conduits ran about two - thirds full . The conduit 's cross section was also determined by maintenance requirements ; workmen must be able to enter and access the whole , with minimal disruption to its fabric . Vitruvius recommends a low gradient of not less than 1 in 4800 for the channel , presumably to prevent damage to the structure through erosion and water pressure . This value agrees well with the measured gradients of surviving masonry aqueducts . The gradient of the Pont du Gard is only 34 cm per km , descending only 17 m vertically in its entire length of 50 km ( 31 mi ) : it could transport up to 20,000 cubic metres a day . The gradients of temporary aqueducts used for hydraulic mining could be considerably greater , as at Dolaucothi in Wales ( with a maximum gradient of about 1 : 700 ) and Las Medulas in northern Spain . Where sharp gradients were unavoidable in permanent conduits , the channel could be stepped downwards , widened or discharged into a receiving tank to disperse the flow of water and reduce its abrasive force . The use of stepped cascades and drops also helped re-oxygenate and thus `` freshen '' the water . Bridgework and siphons ( edit ) The arches of an elevated section of the Roman provincial Aqueduct of Segovia , in modern Spain . Some aqueduct conduits were supported across valleys or hollows on arches of masonry , brick or concrete ; the Pont du Gard , one of the most impressive surviving examples of a massive masonry multiple - piered conduit , spanned the Gardon river - valley some 48.8 m ( 160 ft ) above the Gardon itself . Where particularly deep or lengthy depressions had to be crossed , inverted siphons could be used , instead of arched supports ; the conduit fed water into a header tank , which fed it into pipes . The pipes crossed the valley at lower level , supported by a low `` venter '' bridge , then rose to a receiving tank at a slightly lower elevation . This discharged into another conduit ; the overall gradient was maintained . Siphon pipes were usually made of soldered lead , sometimes reinforced by concrete encasements or stone sleeves . Less often , the pipes themselves were stone or ceramic , jointed as male - female and sealed with lead . Vitruvius describes the construction of siphons and the problems of blockage , blow - outs and venting at their lowest levels , where the pressures were greatest . Nonetheless , siphons were versatile and effective if well - built and well - maintained . A horizontal section of high - pressure siphon tubing in the Aqueduct of the Gier was ramped up on bridgework to clear a navigable river , using nine lead pipes in parallel , cased in concrete . Modern hydraulic engineers use similar techniques to enable sewers and water pipes to cross depressions . At Arles , a minor branch of the main aqueduct supplied a local suburb via a lead siphon whose `` belly '' was laid across a riverbed , eliminating any need for supporting bridgework . Inspection and maintenance ( edit ) Catchment basin of the aqueduct of Metz , France . The single arched cover protects two channels ; either one could be closed off , allowing repair while the other continued to provide at least partial supply Roman aqueducts required a comprehensive system of regular maintenance . The `` clear corridors '' created to protect the fabric of underground and overground conduits were regularly patrolled for unlawful ploughing , planting , roadways and buildings . Frontinus describes the penetration of conduits by tree - roots as particularly damaging . The aqueducts conduits would have been regularly inspected and maintained by working patrols , to reduce algal fouling , repair accidental breaches , to clear the conduits of gravel and other loose debris , and to remove channel - narrowing accretions of calcium carbonate in systems fed by hard water sources . Inspection and access points were provided at regular intervals on the standard , buried conduits . Accretions within syphons could drastically reduce flow rates , due to the already narrow diameter of their pipes . Some had sealed openings that might have been used as rodding eyes , possibly using a pull - through device . In Rome , where a hard - water supply was the norm , mains pipework was shallowly buried beneath road kerbs , for ease of access ; the accumulation of calcium carbonate in these pipes would have necessitated their frequent replacement . The aqueducts were under the overall care and governance of a water commissioner ( curator aquarum ) . It was a high status , high - profile appointment . In 97 , Frontinus served both as consul and as curator aquarum , under the emperor Nerva. Little is known of the day - to - day business of aqueduct maintenance teams ( aquarii ) . Under the emperor Claudius , Rome 's contingent of imperial aquarii comprised a familia aquarum of 700 persons , both slave and free , funded through a combination of Imperial largesse and water taxes . They were supervised by an Imperial freedman , who held office as procurator aquarium . Theirs was probably a never - ending routine of patrol , inspection and cleaning , punctuated by occasional emergencies . Full closure of any aqueduct for servicing would have been a rare event , kept as brief as possible , with repairs preferably made when water demand was lowest , which was presumably at night . The water supply could be shut off at its aqueduct outlet when small or local repairs were needed , but substantial maintenance and repairs to the aqueduct conduit itself required the complete diversion of water at any point upstream or at the spring - head itself . Urban distribution tank at Nîmes , France . Circular section pipes radiate from a central reservoir , fed by a square - sectioned aqueduct . Distribution ( edit ) Aqueduct mains could be directly tapped , but they more usually fed into public distribution terminals , known as castella aquae , which supplied various branches and spurs , usually via large - bore lead or ceramic pipes . Thereafter , the supply could be further subdivided . Licensed , fee - paying private users would have been registered , along with the bore of pipe that led from the public water supply to their private property -- the wider the pipe , the greater the flow and the higher the fee . Tampering and fraud to avoid or reduce payment were commonplace ; methods included the fitting of unlicensed outlets , additional outlets , and the illegal widening of lead pipes ; any of which might involve the bribery or connivance of unscrupulous aqueduct officials or workers . Official lead pipes carried inscriptions with information on the pipe 's manufacturer , its fitter , and probably on its subscriber and their entitlement . During the Imperial era , lead production became an Imperial monopoly , and the granting of rights to draw water for private use from state - funded aqueducts was made an imperial privilege . Uses ( edit ) Civic and domestic ( edit ) Rome 's first aqueduct ( 312 BC ) discharged at very low pressure and at a more - or-less constant rate in the city 's main trading centre and cattle - market , probably into a low - level , cascaded series of troughs or basins ; the upper for household use , the lower for watering the livestock traded there . Most Romans would have filled buckets and storage jars at the basins , and carried the water to their apartments ; the better off would have sent slaves to perform the same task . The outlet 's elevation was too low to offer any city household or building a direct supply ; the overflow drained into Rome 's main sewer , and from there into the Tiber . At this time , Rome had no public baths . The first were probably built in the next century , based on precursors in neighboring Campania ; a limited number of private baths and small , street - corner public baths would have had a private water supply , but once aqueduct water was brought to the city 's higher elevations , large and well - appointed public baths were built throughout the city , and drinking water was delivered to public fountains at high pressure . Public baths and fountains became distinctive features of Roman civilization , and the baths in particular became important social centres . The majority of urban Romans lived in multi-storeyed blocks of flats ( insulae ) . Some blocks offered water services , but only to tenants on the more expensive , lower floors ; the rest would have drawn their water gratis from public fountains . Farming ( edit ) Between 65 and 90 % of the Roman Empire 's population was involved in some form of agricultural work . Farmers whose villas or estates were near a public aqueduct could draw , under license , a specified quantity of aqueduct water for summer irrigation at a predetermined time ; this was intended to limit the depletion of water supply to users further down the gradient , and help ensure a fair distribution among competitors at the time when water was most needed and scarce . Water was possibly the most important variable in the agricultural economy of the Mediterranean world . Roman Italy 's natural water sources -- springs , streams , rivers and lakes -- were unevenly distributed across the landscape , and water tended to scarcity when most needed , during the warm , dry summer growing season . Columella recommends that any farm should contain a spring , stream or river ; but acknowledges that not every farm did . Farmland without a reliable summer water - source was virtually worthless . During the growing season , the water demand of a `` modest local '' irrigation system might consume as much water as the city of Rome ; and the livestock whose manure fertilised the fields must be fed and watered all year round . At least some Roman landowners and farmers relied in part or whole on aqueduct water to raise crops as their primary or sole source of income but the fraction of aqueduct water involved can only be guessed at . More certainly , the creation of municipal and city aqueducts brought a growth in the intensive and efficient suburban market - farming of fragile , perishable commodities such as flowers ( for perfumes , and for festival garlands ) , grapes , vegetables and orchard fruits ; and of small livestock such as pigs and chickens , close to the municipal and urban markets . A licensed right to aqueduct water on farmland could lead to increased productivity , a cash income through the sale of surplus foodstuffs , and an increase in the value of the land itself . In the countryside , permissions to draw aqueduct water for irrigation were particularly hard to get ; the exercise and abuse of such rights were subject to various known legal disputes and judgements , and at least one political campaign ; in the early 2nd century BC Cato tried to block all unlawful rural outlets , especially those owned by the landed elite - `` Look how much he bought the land for , where he is channeling the water ! '' - during his censorship . His attempted reform proved impermanent at best . Though illegal tapping could be punished by seizure of assets , including the illegally watered land and its produce , this law seems never to have been used , and was probably impracticable ; food surpluses kept prices low . Grain shortages in particular could lead to famine and social unrest . Any practical solution must strike a balance between the water - needs of urban populations and grain producers , tax the latter 's profits , and secure sufficient grain at reasonable cost for the Roman poor ( the so - called `` corn dole '' ) and the army . Rather than seek to impose unproductive and probably unenforcable bans , the authorities issued individual water grants ( though seldom in rural areas ) and licenses , and regulated water outlets , with variable success . In the 1st century AD , Pliny the Elder , like Cato , could fulminate against grain producers who continued to wax fat on profits from public water and public land . Some landholders avoided such restrictions and entanglements by buying water access rights to distant springs , not necessarily on their own land . A few , of high wealth and status , built their own aqueducts to transport such water from source to field or villa ; Mumius Niger Valerius Vegetus bought the rights to a spring and its water from his neighbour , and access rights to a corridor of intervening land , then built an aqueduct of just under 10 kilometres , connecting the springhead to his own villa . The senatorial permission for this `` Aqua Vegetiana '' was given only when the project seemed not to impinge on the water rights of other citizens . Industrial ( edit ) Rock - cut aqueduct feeding water to the mining site at Las Médulas Some aqueducts supplied water to industrial sites , usually via an open channel cut into the ground , clay lined or wood - shuttered to reduce water loss . Most such leats were designed to operate at the steep gradients that could deliver the high water volumes needed in mining operations . Water was used in hydraulic mining to strip the overburden and expose the ore by hushing , to fracture and wash away metal - bearing rock already heated and weakened by fire - setting , and to power water - wheel driven stamps and trip - hammers that crushed ore for processing . Evidence of such leats and machines has been found at Dolaucothi in south - west Wales . Mining sites such as Dolaucothi and Las Medulas in northwest Spain show multiple aqueducts that fed water from local rivers to the mine head . The channels may have deteriorated rapidly , or become redundant as the nearby ore was exhausted . Las Medulas shows at least seven such leats , and Dolaucothi at least five . At Dolaucothi , the miners used holding reservoirs as well as hushing tanks , and sluice gates to control flow , as well as drop chutes for diversion of water supplies . The remaining traces ( see palimpsest ) of such channels allows the mining sequence to be inferred . Map of the gold mine at Dolaucothi , showing its aqueducts A number of other sites fed by several aqueducts have not yet been thoroughly explored or excavated , such as those at Longovicium near Lanchester south of Hadrian 's wall , in which the water supplies may have been used to power trip - hammers for forging iron . At Barbegal in Roman Gaul , a reservoir fed an aqueduct that drove a cascaded series of 15 or 16 overshot water mills , grinding flour for the Arles region . Similar arrangements , though on a lesser scale , have been found in Caesarea , Venafrum and Roman - era Athens . Rome 's Aqua Traiana drove a flour - mill at the Janiculum , west of the Tiber . A mill in the basement of the Baths of Caracalla was driven by aqueduct overspill ; this was but one of many city mills driven by aqueduct water , with or without official permission . A law of the 5th century forbade the illicit use of aqueduct water for milling . Decline in use ( edit ) A portion of the Eifel Aqueduct , Germany , built in 80 AD . Its channel is narrowed by an accretion of calcium carbonate , accumulated through lack of maintenance . During the fall of the Roman Empire , some aqueducts were deliberately cut by enemies but more fell into disuse because of deteriorating Roman infrastructure and lack of maintenance , such as the Eifel aqueduct ( pictured right ) . Observations made by the Spaniard Pedro Tafur , who visited Rome in 1436 , reveal misunderstandings of the very nature of the Roman aqueducts : Through the middle of the city runs a river , which the Romans brought there with great labour and set in their midst , and this is the Tiber . They made a new bed for the river , so it is said , of lead , and channels at one and the other end of the city for its entrances and exits , both for watering horses and for other services convenient to the people , and anyone entering it at any other spot would be drowned . During the Renaissance , the standing remains of the city 's massive masonry aqueducts inspired architects , engineers and their patrons ; Pope Nicholas V renovated the main channels of the Roman Aqua Virgo in 1453 . Many aqueducts in Rome 's former empire were kept in good repair . The 15th - century rebuilding of aqueduct at Segovia in Spain shows advances on the Pont du Gard by using fewer arches of greater height , and so greater economy in its use of the raw materials . The skill in building aqueducts was not lost , especially of the smaller , more modest channels used to supply water wheels . Most such mills in Britain were developed in the medieval period for bread production , and used similar methods as that developed by the Romans with leats tapping local rivers and streams .

what force did the romans use to move water
[ "Aqueducts moved water through gravity alone, along a slight overall downward gradient within conduits of stone, brick, or concrete; the steeper the gradient, the faster the flow. Most conduits were buried beneath the ground and followed the contours of the terrain; obstructing peaks were circumvented or, less often, tunneled through. Where valleys or lowlands intervened, the conduit was carried on bridgework, or its contents fed into high-pressure lead, ceramic, or stone pipes and siphoned across. Most aqueduct systems included sedimentation tanks, which helped reduce any water-borne debris. Sluices and castella aquae (distribution tanks) regulated the supply to individual destinations. In cities and towns, the run-off water from aqueducts scoured the drains and sewers." ]

2018 West Virginia teachers' strike
2018 West Virginia teachers ' strike - wikipedia 2018 West Virginia teachers ' strike Jump to : navigation , search 2018 West Virginia teachers ' strike Part of the 2018 teachers ' strikes in the United States WV Teacher Strike at Bunker Hill Elementary School in Berkeley County , West Virginia . Date February 23 , 2018 ( 2018 - 02 - 23 ) -- March 7 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 07 ) Location West Virginia Methods Occupation Demonstrations Internet activism Walkout Resulted in 5 % pay raise for teachers Parties to the civil conflict American Federation of Teachers National Education Association Industrial Workers of the World West Virginia Senate West Virginia House of Delegates Lead figures Dale Lee Jim Justice The West Virginia teachers ' strike began on February 22 , 2018 with a call from the West Virginia branches of the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association for teachers across West Virginia to strike . The strike , called in response to anger among teachers and other school employees over low pay and high health care costs , involved roughly 20,000 teachers and public school employees and shut down schools in all 55 West Virginia counties , affecting some 250,000 students . It lasted until March 7 , 2018 . The strike inspired teachers in other states , including Oklahoma , Colorado , and Arizona , to take similar action . Teachers in other states , including North Carolina and Kentucky have also coordinated protests and walkouts on a smaller scale . Contents ( hide ) 1 Salary demands 2 Health insurance costs 3 The Strike and Negotiations 4 Reactions to the Strike 5 See also 6 References Salary demands ( edit ) The strike was called in response to the low pay of West Virginia teachers , whose compensation ranks 48th in the United States . The strike also responded to a pay raise passed by the legislature and signed by Governor Jim Justice that provided only a 2 % raise for 2019 , and 1 % raise for 2020 and a 1 % raise for 2021 and a freeze on premiums for 16 months to benefits . The teachers ' unions did not release vote totals for the strike . Every public school district in the state closed to avoid confrontations . It was the first such strike since 1990 . According to some analysts , West Virginia teachers had a stronger negotiating position in the strike because many teaching positions remain unfilled . Teachers say that because of low pay in West Virginia , the state has difficulty attracting and retaining teachers . Health insurance costs ( edit ) WV Teacher Strike at Bunker Hill Elementary School in Berkeley County , West Virginia One of the major issues involved funding for the Public Employees Insurance Agency , the state health insurance plan . The West Virginia Legislature had voted to boost state contributions to the plan by using a percentage of the annual state surplus , but the teachers ' unions were demanding a more reliable financing plan . Health care costs have increased quickly enough that proposed teacher pay increases can not match teacher payments for health care . The strike and negotiations ( edit ) The work stoppage took place in defiance of state law forbidding public employee strikes . On February 21 , the day before the walkout , state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey warned that a strike `` of any length on any ground is illegal '' and said his office would support local districts attempting to enforce the state ban on public employee strikes . Nonetheless , on the same day , Governor Justice signed into law a bill offering teachers a 2 % pay increase . `` We need to keep our kids and teachers in the classroom , '' Gov. Justice said in signing the law . `` We certainly recognize our teachers are underpaid and this is a step in the right direction to addressing their pay issue . '' Teachers said that the 2 % pay raise , and subsequent raises of 1 % slated for 2020 and 2021 , would not keep up with inflation . Teachers rejected the pay raise , walking out across the state on February 22 . The same day , a crowd estimated at 5,000 demonstrated at the West Virginia State Capitol . The strike continued on February 23 , as all schools in the state were closed once again . Teachers and other workers rallied in front of the West Virginia State Capitol as well as picketed in front of individual schools . West Virginia teachers have a stronger negotiating position in the strike because many teaching positions remain unfilled . A deal reached by union leaders and Governor Jim Justice was announced on February 27 , and union leaders called on teachers and other education - related personnel to return to classrooms on Thursday March 1 , after a `` cooling off '' period . However , during the late evening on February 28 , every county announced school closures due to continuing work stoppages , and by this point the stoppage had become a wildcat strike . On March 3 , the West Virginia Senate rejected a bill passed by the West Virginia House of Delegates approving the agreed upon 5 % pay rise , instead proposing a 4 % pay rise , extending the strike into an eighth work day . A similar strike was proposed by teachers in Oklahoma , where teacher compensation is worse than in West Virginia , at 49th in the United States . On Sunday March 4 , 1,400 West Virginia Frontier Communications workers went on strike in response to company restructuring , also citing rising health care costs , and the example of the Teacher 's Strike . West Virginia school personnel returned to classrooms on Wednesday March 7 after the State Senate agreed to the House 's position following conference committee negotiations . The strike , while achieving a 5 % pay raise , did not provide guarantees to control rising health care costs . Reactions to the strike ( edit ) Justice and other Republican lawmakers opposed the strike and asserted that the teachers ' absence from the classroom were hurting school children . He also said there was not enough money to fund teachers ' demands . `` I 'm telling you when we should do more is when we know we can do more , '' Justice said on February 23 . `` Today we think we can do more , but we do n't know . Our teachers need to be in the classroom . The Legislature has spoken and I 've signed it into law . '' Justice , a billionaire coal magnate , won election in 2016 as a Democrat with the endorsements of the AFT - WV and the WVEA , along with other unions in the state . He subsequently switched to the Republican Party . Union officials sought backing from prominent state Democratic Party leaders , inviting them to speak at teachers ' demonstrations during the strike . However , prior to the strike , Democrats had control the governor 's mansion for 32 of the previous 40 years . They controlled the governor 's mansion and the legislature between 2001 - 2014 . The strike was noteworthy because it emerged from rank - and - file teachers , who began to demand statewide strike action . Pressure to strike was `` coming from everywhere , '' Christine Campbell , AFT - WV president , said in early February . These demands coalesced into a series of rallies and demonstrations held throughout the state . Ultimately the strike became a wildcat when teachers refused back - to - work orders from the unions . The World Socialist Web Site , daily publication of the Socialist Equality Party , which published many interviews with teachers , argued that the AFT - WV and WVEA would settle the strike on unfavorable terms to school employees . It called on teachers to form rank - and - file committees independent of the trade unions and to broaden the strike to include teachers in other states and other groups of workers in West Virginia . The Industrial Workers of the World issued a press release , demanding that the strike continue unless a series of demands were met , including a tax on natural gas production to fund state education .

Notably , Encyclopædia Britannica specifies the United States ' area ( excluding coastal and territorial waters ) as 9,525,067 sq km , which is less than either source 's figure given for China 's area . Therefore , while it can be determined that China has a larger area excluding coastal and territorial waters , it is unclear which country has a larger area including coastal and territorial waters . United Nations Statistics Division 's figure for the United States is 9,833,517 sq km and China is 9,596,961 sq km . These closely match the CIA World Factbook figures and similarly include coastal and territorial waters for the United States , but exclude coastal and territorial waters for China . Further explanation of disputed ranking : The dispute for world 's third - largest country arose from the inclusion of coastal and territorial waters for the United States . This discrepancy was deduced from comparing the CIA World Factbook and its previous iterations against the information for United States on Encyclopædia Britannica , particularly its footnote section . In sum , according to older versions of the CIA World Factbook ( from 1982 to 1996 ) , the US was listed as the world 's fourth - largest country ( after Russia , Canada , and China ) with a total area of 9,372,610 sq km . However , in the 1997 edition , the US added coastal waters to its total area ( increasing it to 9,629,091 sq km ) . And then again in 2007 , US added territorial water to its total area ( increasing it to 9,833,517 sq km ) . During this time , China 's total area remained unchanged . In other words , no coastal or territorial water area was added to China 's total area figure . The United States has a coastal water area of 109,362 sq km , and a territorial water area of 195,213 sq km , for a total of 304,575 sq km of additional water space . This is larger than entire countries like Italy , New Zealand , and the United Kingdom . Adding this figure to the US will boost it over China in ranking since China 's coastal and territorial water figures are currently unknown ( no official publication ) and thus can not be added into China 's total area figure . ^ Figures exclude the external territories of Norfolk Island , Ashmore and Cartier Islands , Christmas Island , Cocos ( Keeling ) Islands , Coral Sea Islands Territory , and Heard Island and McDonald Islands , each shown separately . Excludes the claim of the Australian Antarctic Territory ( 5,896,500 km or 2,276,700 sq mi ) . The UN 's previous data , as well as the current data shown by the World Bank and the CIA , give the figure as 7,741,220 km ( 2,988,900 sq mi ) . ^ The total area given is from Encyclopædia Britannica and includes disputed territories not under Indian control but claimed by India . The total area claimed by India , according to the figure given by the United Nations and the Indian government , totals 3,287,263 km ( 1,269,219 sq mi ) . ^ Excludes claims on Argentine Antarctica ( 969,000 km or 374,000 sq mi ) , on Malvinas / Falkland Islands ( 12,173 km or 4,700 sq mi ) and on South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands ( 3,903 km or 1,507 sq mi ) . ^ The area of internal waters is officially reported as 0 even though several seasonal lakes and permanent reservoirs exist in the country .

The group owns retail franchises Four Square , New World and Pak'nSave , in - store private labels Pam 's and Budget , and a ten percent stake in The Warehouse . The effective duopoly in New Zealand 's supermarket industry means that Foodstuffs ' only real competitor is Australian supermarket chain Progressive Enterprises . Contents 1 History 2 Four Square 3 New World 4 Pak'nSave 5 On the Spot 6 Liquor retailers 7 Wholesalers 8 References 9 External links History ( edit ) The first Foodstuffs co-operative was formed in Auckland in 1922 . On 6 July 1922 , Foodstuffs founder J Heaton Barker called together members of the Auckland Master Grocers ' Association to discuss plans for the formation of a co-operative buying group . The buying group expanded in 1925 with the introduction of Four Square branding on members ' stores . Similar co-operatives were set up in other parts of the country , with Wellington commencing also in 1922 , Christchurch in 1928 and Dunedin in 1948 . Initially the buying groups traded under different names but in 1935 , the name Foodstuffs was applied to all the original co-operatives . There have been various mergers between the small regional co-operatives , and until recently there were three co-operative companies : Foodstuffs ( Auckland ) Ltd ; Foodstuffs ( Wellington ) Co-operative Society Ltd , and Foodstuffs South Island Ltd . Each operated independently and autonomously with its own board of directors , chief executive officer and management structure . There were no common members or shareholders . The organisation has continued to evolve , adopting supermarkets early in their evolution with the formation of the New World group in 1963 . The Pak'nSave group began later and the first store was opened in Kaitaia in 1985 . On 7 February 2013 Foodstuffs ( Auckland ) Ltd and Foodstuffs ( Wellington ) Co-operative Society Ltd announced that a merger was being planned to bring the two companies together under the name Foodstuffs North Island Ltd . The merged Foodstuffs North Island started trading on 1 September 2013 . Four Square ( edit ) Main article : Four Square ( supermarket ) Four Square logo Four Square is a trans - Tasman chain of small scale grocery stores -- ranging from small dairies to small supermarkets . During the 1950s the Foodstuffs advertising department designed the famous `` Mr 4 Square '' who initially appeared only in newspaper advertising and posters , but was developed to become part of the Four Square identity , appearing in every Four Square store and eventually becoming a nationally recognised symbol in New Zealand , remaining famous to this day . The image is often closely associated with the art of New Zealand artist Dick Frizzell , who has used the iconic character in many of his works . The current Four Square brand was designed by Auckland branding and design studio Sanders Design . New World ( edit ) Main article : New World ( supermarket ) New World is a full - service supermarket chain . Founded in 1963 , New World was the first American - style full - service supermarket brand of Foodstuffs , and the second in New Zealand ( after Foodtown ) . There is a total of 140 New World supermarkets across the North and South Islands of New Zealand ( as of October 2017 ) . New World stores tend to be smaller ( 2,500 -- 3,000 square metres ( 27,000 -- 32,000 sq ft ) ) and more upscale than their competitors . Prices tend to be higher in most stores , due to the cost of upscale presentation , large employee numbers ( 200 -- 300 in some large stores ) , and often a lack of competition , especially in smaller towns . New World has been a member of the Fly Buys programme since the programme started in September 1996 ; Foodstuffs has a 25 % stake in the Fly Buys company . The New World brand was designed by Auckland design and branding studio Sanders Design . Pak'nSave ( edit ) Main article : Pak'nSave Pak'nSave is a New Zealand discount supermarket chain owned by the Foodstuffs cooperative . Founded in 1985 , Pak'nSave is the most recent of the three current major New Zealand supermarkets ( Countdown , New World , and Pak'nSave ) to be founded . There are 57 Pak'nSave stores operating across the North and South Islands of New Zealand as of September 2017 . Stores are large and have a no - frills environment , often with unlined interiors and concrete floors . Customers are left to pack their own bags or boxes , and charged for plastic bags in most stores . Pak'nSave was developed following a trip by a group of Foodstuffs executives to the United States in 1985 . On that visit they saw Cub Foods , operated by SuperValu , Pak ' n Save operated by Safeway , and other box warehouse supermarkets . Foodstuffs then copied this format in New Zealand . The original Pak'nSave format was almost an identical copy of Safeway 's Pak ' n Save chain in Northern California . The PAK'nSAVE brand was designed by Auckland design and branding studio Sanders Design . The stores are supplied daily from their co-operative distributor Foodstuffs . Pak'nSave stores often buys stock in bulk . This process means that stores do n't offer a wide variety of products as full - service supermarkets -- a 2009 Consumer magazine survey noticed this especially in the pet food and toilet paper categories . On the Spot ( edit ) On the Spot is a chain of over one hundred convenience stores in the South Island . Liquor retailers ( edit ) Liquorland Northland ( part of Foodstuffs North Island ) Liquorland Auckland ( part of Foodstuffs North Island ) Liquorland Waikato ( part of Foodstuffs North Island ) Liquorland Southland ( part of Foodstuffs South Island ) Henry 's Beer , Wine & Spirits ( part of Foodstuffs South Island ) Wholesalers ( edit ) Gilmours ( part of Foodstuffs North Island ) .

Beginning in the 1930s , unions became important components of the Democratic Party . However , some historians have not understood why no Labor Party emerged in the United States , in contrast to Western Europe . The nature and power of organized labor is the outcome of historical tensions among counter-acting forces involving workplace rights , wages , working hours , political expression , labor laws , and other working conditions . Organized unions and their umbrella labor federations such as the AFL -- CIO and citywide federations have competed , evolved , merged , and split against a backdrop of changing values and priorities , and periodic federal government intervention . As commentator E. J. Dionne has noted , the union movement has traditionally espoused a set of values -- solidarity being the most important , the sense that each should look out for the interests of all . From this followed commitments to mutual assistance , to a rough - and - ready sense of equality , to a disdain for elitism , and to a belief that democracy and individual rights did not stop at the plant gate or the office reception room . Dionne notes that these values are `` increasingly foreign to American culture '' . In most industrial nations the labor movement sponsored its own political parties , with the U.S. as a conspicuous exception . Both major American parties vied for union votes , with the Democrats usually much more successful . Labor unions became a central element of the New Deal Coalition that dominated national politics from the 1930s into the mid-1960s during the Fifth Party System . Liberal Republicans who supported unions in the Northeast lost power after 1964 . The history of organized labor has been a specialty of scholars since the 1890s , and has produced a large amount of scholarly literature focused on the structure of organized unions . In the 1960s , as social history gained popularity , a new emphasis emerged on the history of workers , including unorganized workers , and with special regard to gender and race . This is called `` the new labor history '' . Much scholarship has attempted to bring the social history perspectives into the study of organized labor .

In 1636 , for instance , there was a fishermen 's strike on an island off the coast of Maine and in 1677 twelve carmen were fined for going on strike in New York City . However , most instances of labor unrest during the colonial period were temporary and isolated , and rarely resulted in the formation of permanent groups of laborers for negotiation purposes . Little legal recourse was available to those injured by the unrest , because strikes were not typically considered illegal . The only known case of criminal prosecution of workers in the colonial era occurred as a result of a carpenters ' strike in Savannah , Georgia , in 1746 . Legality and Hunt ( 1842 ) ( edit ) Main article : Commonwealth v. Hunt By the beginning of the 19th century , after the revolution , little had changed . The career path for most artisans still involved apprenticeship under a master , followed by moving into independent production . However , over the course of the Industrial Revolution , this model rapidly changed , particularly in the major metropolitan areas . For instance , in Boston in 1790 , the vast majority of the 1,300 artisans in the city described themselves as `` master workman '' . By 1815 , journeymen workers without independent means of production had displaced these `` masters '' as the majority . By that time journeymen also outnumbered masters in New York City and Philadelphia . This shift occurred as a result of large - scale transatlantic and rural - urban migration . Migration into the coastal cities created a larger population of potential laborers , which in turn allowed controllers of capital to invest in labor - intensive enterprises on a larger scale . Craft workers found that these changes launched them into competition with each other to a degree that they had not experienced previously , which limited their opportunities and created substantial risks of downward mobility that had not existed prior to that time . These conditions led to the first labor combination cases in America . Over the first half of the 19th century , there are twenty - three known cases of indictment and prosecution for criminal conspiracy , taking place in six states : Pennsylvania , Maryland , New York , Louisiana , Massachusetts , and Virginia . The central question in these cases was invariably whether workmen in combination would be permitted to use their collective bargaining power to obtain benefits -- increased wages , decreased hours , or improved conditions -- which were beyond their ability to obtain as individuals . The cases overwhelmingly resulted in convictions . However , in most instances the plaintiffs ' desire was to establish favorable precedent , not to impose harsh penalties , and the fines were typically modest . One of the central themes of the cases prior to the landmark decision in Commonwealth v. Hunt , which settled the legality of unions , was the applicability of the English common law in post-revolutionary America . Whether the English common law applied -- and in particular whether the common law notion that a conspiracy to raise wages was illegal applied -- was frequently the subject of debate between the defense and the prosecution . For instance , in Commonwealth v. Pullis , a case in 1806 against a combination of journeymen cordwainers in Philadelphia for conspiracy to raise their wages , the defense attorneys referred to the common law as arbitrary and unknowable and instead praised the legislature as the embodiment of the democratic promise of the revolution . In ruling that a combination to raise wages was per se illegal , Recorder Moses Levy strongly disagreed , writing that `` ( t ) he acts of the legislature form but a small part of that code from which the citizen is to learn his duties ... ( i ) t is in the volumes of the common law we are to seek for information in the far greater number , as well as the most important causes that come before our tribunals . '' As a result of the spate of convictions against combinations of laborers , the typical narrative of early American labor law states that , prior to Hunt in Massachusetts in 1842 , peaceable combinations of workingmen to raise wages , shorten hours or ensure employment , were illegal in the United States , as they had been under English common law . In England , criminal conspiracy laws were first held to include combinations in restraint of trade in the Court of Star Chamber early in the 17th century . The precedent was solidified in 1721 by R v Journeymen Tailors of Cambridge , which found tailors guilty of a conspiracy to raise wages . Leonard Levy went so far as to refer to Hunt as the `` Magna Carta of American trade - unionism '' , illustrating its perceived standing as the major point of divergence in the American and English legal treatment of unions which , `` removed the stigma of criminality from labor organizations '' . However , case law in America prior to Hunt was mixed . Pullis was actually unusual in strictly following the English common law and holding that a combination to raise wages was by itself illegal . More often combination cases prior to Hunt did not hold that unions were illegal per se , but rather found some other justification for a conviction . After Pullis in 1806 , eighteen other prosecutions of laborers for conspiracies followed within the next three decades . However , only one such case , People v. Fisher , also held that a combination for the purpose of raising wages was illegal . Several other cases held that the methods used by the unions , rather than the unions themselves , were illegal . For instance , in People v. Melvin , cordwainers were again convicted of a conspiracy to raise wages . Unlike in Pullis , however , the court held that the combination 's existence itself was not unlawful , but nevertheless reached a conviction because the cordwainers had refused to work for any master who paid lower wages , or with any laborer who accepted lower wages , than what the combination had stipulated . The court held that methods used to obtain higher wages would be unlawful if they were judged to be deleterious to the general welfare of the community . Commonwealth v. Morrow continued to refine this standard , stating that , `` an agreement of two or more to the prejudice of the rights of others or of society '' would be illegal . Another line of cases , led by Justice John Gibson of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania 's decision in Commonwealth v. Carlisle , held that motive of the combination , rather than simply its existence , was the key to illegality . Gibson wrote , `` Where the act is lawful for an individual , it can be the subject of a conspiracy , when done in concert , only where there is a direct intention that injury shall result from it '' . Still other courts rejected Pullis ' rule of per se illegality in favor of a rule that asked whether the combination was a but - for cause of injury . Thus , as economist Edwin Witte stated , `` The doctrine that a combination to raise wages is illegal was allowed to die by common consent . No leading case was required for its overthrow '' . Nevertheless , while Hunt was not the first case to hold that labor combinations were legal , it was the first to do so explicitly and in clear terms . Early federations ( edit ) Main articles : National Labor Union and Order of the Knights of St. Crispin The National Labor Union ( NLU ) , founded in 1866 , was the first national labor federation in the United States . It was dissolved in 1872 . The regional Order of the Knights of St. Crispin was founded in the northeast in 1867 and claimed 50,000 members by 1870 , by far the largest union in the country . A closely associated union of women , the Daughters of St. Crispin , formed in 1870 . In 1879 the Knights formally admitted women , who by 1886 comprised 10 % of the union 's membership , but it was poorly organized and soon declined . They fought encroachments of machinery and unskilled labor on autonomy of skilled shoe workers . One provision in the Crispin constitution explicitly sought to limit the entry of `` green hands '' into the trade , but this failed because the new machines could be operated by semi-skilled workers and produce more shoes than hand sewing . Railroad brotherhoods ( edit ) The Great Southwest Railroad Strike of 1886 was a trade union strike involving more than 200,000 workers . With the rapid growth and consolidation of large railroad systems after 1870 , union organizations sprang up , covering the entire nation . By 1901 , 17 major railway brotherhoods were in operation ; they generally worked amicably with management , which recognized their usefulness . Key unions included the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers ( BLE ) , Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Division ( BMWED ) , the Order of Railway Conductors , the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen , and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen . Their main goal was building insurance and medical packages for their members , and negotiating bureaucratic work rules that favored their membership , such as seniority and grievance procedures . They were not members of the AFL , and fought off more radical rivals such as the Knights of Labor in the 1880s and the American Railroad Union in the 1890s . They consolidated their power in 1916 , after threatening a national strike , by securing the Adamson Act , a federal law that provided 10 hours pay for an eight - hour day . At the end of World War I they promoted nationalization of the railroads , and conducted a national strike in 1919 . Both programs failed , and the brotherhoods were largely stagnant in the 1920s . They generally were independent politically , but supported the third party campaign of Robert M. La Follette Sr. in 1924 . Knights of labor ( edit ) Main article : Knights of Labor The first effective labor organization that was more than regional in membership and influence was the Knights of Labor , organized in 1869 . The Knights believed in the unity of the interests of all producing groups and sought to enlist in their ranks not only all laborers but everyone who could be truly classified as a producer . The acceptance of all producers led to explosive growth after 1880 . Under the leadership of Terence V. Powderly they championed a variety of causes , sometimes through political or cooperative ventures . Powderly hoped to gain their ends through politics and education rather than through economic coercion . The Knights were especially successful in developing a working class culture , involving women , families , sports , and leisure activities and educational projects for the membership . The Knights strongly promoted their version of republicanism that stressed the centrality of free labor , preaching harmony and cooperation among producers , as opposed to parasites and speculators . One of the earliest railroad strikes was also one of the most successful . In 1885 , the Knights of Labor led railroad workers to victory against Jay Gould and his entire Southwestern Railway system . In early 1886 , the Knights were trying to coordinate 1,400 strikes involving over 600,000 workers spread over much of the country . The tempo had doubled over 1885 , and involved peaceful as well as violent confrontations in many sectors , such as railroads , street railroads , coal mining , and the McCormick Reaper Factory in Chicago , with demands usually focused on the eight hour day . Suddenly , it all collapsed , largely because the Knights were unable to handle so much on their plate at once , and because they took a smashing blow in the aftermath of the Haymarket Riot in May 1886 in Chicago . As strikers rallied against the McCormick plant , a team of political anarchists , who were not Knights , tried to piggyback support among striking Knights workers . A bomb exploded as police were dispersing a peaceful rally , killing seven policemen and wounding many others . The anarchists were blamed , and their spectacular trial gained national attention . The Knights of Labor were seriously injured by the false accusation that the Knights promoted anarchistic violence . Many Knights locals transferred to the less radical and more respectable AFL unions or railroad brotherhoods . American Federation of labor ( edit ) Main article : American Federation of Labor The American Federation of Labor union label , c. 1900 . Samuel Gompers in 1894 ; he was the AFL leader 1886 - 1924 . The Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions began in 1881 under the leadership of Samuel Gompers . Like the National Labor Union , it was a federation of different unions and did not directly enroll workers . Its original goals were to encourage the formation of trade unions and to obtain legislation , such as prohibition of child labor , a national eight hour day , and exclusion of Chinese and other foreign contract workers . Strikes organized by labor unions became routine events by the 1880s . There were 37,000 strikes , 1881 to 1905 . By far the largest number were in the building trades , followed far behind by coal miners . The main goal was control of working conditions , setting uniform wage scales , protesting the firing of a member , and settling which rival union was in control . Most strikes were of very short duration . In times of depression strikes were more violent but less successful , because the company was losing money anyway . They were successful in times of prosperity when the company was losing profits and wanted to settle quickly . The Federation made some efforts to obtain favorable legislation , but had little success in organizing or chartering new unions . It came out in support of the proposal , traditionally attributed to Peter J. McGuire of the Carpenters Union , for a national Labor Day holiday on the first Monday in September , and threw itself behind the eight hour movement , which sought to limit the workday by either legislation or union organizing . In 1886 , as the relations between the trade union movement and the Knights of Labor worsened , McGuire and other union leaders called for a convention to be held at Columbus , Ohio on December 8 . The Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions merged with the new organization , known as the American Federation of Labor or AFL , formed at that convention . The AFL was formed in large part because of the dissatisfaction of many trade union leaders with the Knights of Labor , an organization that contained many trade unions and that had played a leading role in some of the largest strikes of the era . The new AFL distinguished itself from the Knights by emphasizing the autonomy of each trade union affiliated with it and limiting membership to workers and organizations made up of workers , unlike the Knights which , because of its producerist focus , welcomed some who were not wage workers . The AFL grew steadily in the late 19th century while the Knights all but disappeared . Although Gompers at first advocated something like industrial unionism , he retreated from that in the face of opposition from the craft unions that made up most of the AFL . The unions of the AFL were composed primarily of skilled men ; unskilled workers , African - Americans , and women were generally excluded . The AFL saw women as threatening the jobs of men , since they often worked for lower wages . The AFL provided little to no support for women 's attempts to unionize . Western Federation of miners ( edit ) Main article : Western Federation of Miners The Western Federation of Miners ( WFM ) was created in 1893 . Frequently in competition with the American Federation of Labor , the WFM spawned new federations , including the Western Labor Union ( later renamed to the American Labor Union ) . The WFM took a conservative turn in the aftermath of the Colorado Labor Wars and the trials of its president , Charles Moyer , and its secretary treasurer , Big Bill Haywood , for the conspiratorial assassination of Idaho 's former governor . Although both were found innocent , the WFM , headed by Moyer , separated itself from the Industrial Workers of the World ( IWW ) ( launched by Haywood and other labor radicals , socialists , and anarchists in 1905 ) just a few years after that organization 's founding convention . In 1916 the WFM became the International Union of Mine , Mill , and Smelter Workers , which was eventually absorbed by the United Steelworkers of America . Pullman strike ( edit ) Main article : Pullman Strike During the major economic depression of the early 1890s , the Pullman Palace Car Company cut wages in its factories . Discontented workers joined the American Railway Union ( ARU ) , led by Eugene V. Debs , which supported their strike by launching a boycott of all Pullman cars on all railroads . ARU members across the nation refused to switch Pullman cars onto trains . When these switchmen were disciplined , the entire ARU struck the railroads on June 26 , 1894 . Within four days , 125,000 workers on twenty - nine railroads had people quit work rather than handle Pullman cars . Strikers and their supporters also engaged in riots and sabotage . The railroads were able to get Edwin Walker , general counsel for the Chicago , Milwaukee , and St. Paul Railway , appointed as a special federal attorney with responsibility for dealing with the strike . Walker went to federal court and obtained an injunction barring union leaders from supporting the boycott in any way . The court injunction was based on the Sherman Anti-Trust Act which prohibited `` Every contract , combination in the form of trust or otherwise , or conspiracy , in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States '' . Debs and other leaders of the ARU ignored the injunction , and federal troops were called into action . The strike was broken up by United States Marshals and some 2,000 United States Army troops , commanded by Nelson Miles , sent in by President Grover Cleveland on the premise that the strike interfered with the delivery of U.S. Mail . During the course of the strike , 13 strikers were killed and 57 were wounded . An estimated $340,000 worth of property damage occurred during the strike . Debs went to prison for six months for violating the federal court order , and the ARU disintegrated .

Australian historian Peter Shergold confirms the findings of many scholars that the standard of living for US industrial workers was higher than in Europe . He compares wages and the standard of living in Pittsburgh with Birmingham , England . He finds that , after taking into account the cost of living ( which was 65 % higher in the U.S. ) , the standard of living of unskilled workers was about the same in the two cities , while skilled workers had about twice as high a standard of living . The American advantage grew over time from 1890 to 1914 , and there was a heavy steady flow of skilled workers from Britain to industrial America . Shergold revealed that skilled Americans did earn higher wages than the British , yet unskilled workers did not , while Americans worked longer hours , with a greater chance of injury , and had fewer social services . Nationwide from 1890 to 1914 the unionized wages in manufacturing rose from $17.63 a week to $21.37 , and the average work week fell from 54.4 to 48.8 hours a week . The pay for all factory workers was $11.94 and $15.84 because unions reached only the more skilled factory workers . Coal strikes , 1900 -- 1902 ( edit ) Main article : Coal Strike of 1902 The United Mine Workers was successful in its strike against soft coal ( bituminous ) mines in the Midwest in 1900 , but its strike against the hard coal ( anthracite ) mines of Pennsylvania turned into a national political crisis in 1902 . President Theodore Roosevelt brokered a compromise solution that kept the flow of coal going , and higher wages and shorter hours , but did not include recognition of the union as a bargaining agent . Women 's trade union League ( edit ) The Women 's Trade Union League was a support group that did not organize locals . It formed at the 1903 AFL convention in Boston and was loosely tied to the AFL . It was composed of both workingwomen and middle - class reformers , and provided financial assistance , moral support , and training in work skills and social refinement for blue collar women . Most active in 1907 -- 1922 under Margaret Dreier Robins , it publicized the cause and lobbied for minimum wages and restrictions on hours of work and child labor . Industrial workers of the World ( edit ) Main article : Industrial Workers of the World Flyer distributed in Lawrence , Massachusetts , September 1912 . The Lawrence textile strike was a strike of immigrant workers The Industrial Workers of the World ( IWW ) , whose members became known as `` Wobblies '' , was founded in Chicago in 1905 by a group of about 30 labor radicals . Their most prominent leader was William `` Big Bill '' Haywood . The IWW pioneered creative tactics , and organized along the lines of industrial unionism rather than craft unionism ; in fact , they went even further , pursuing the goal of `` One Big Union '' and the abolition of the wage system . Many , though not all , Wobblies favored anarcho - syndicalism . Much of the IWW 's organizing took place in the West , and most of its early members were miners , lumbermen , cannery , and dock workers . In 1912 the IWW organized a strike of more than twenty thousand textile workers , and by 1917 the Agricultural Workers Organization ( AWO ) of the IWW claimed a hundred thousand itinerant farm workers in the heartland of North America . Eventually the concept of One Big Union spread from dock workers to maritime workers , and thus was communicated to many different parts of the world . Dedicated to workplace and economic democracy , the IWW allowed men and women as members , and organized workers of all races and nationalities , without regard to current employment status . At its peak it had 150,000 members ( with 200,000 membership cards issued between 1905 and 1916 ) , but it was fiercely repressed during , and especially after , World War I with many of its members killed , about 10,000 organizers imprisoned , and thousands more deported as foreign agitators . The IWW proved that unskilled workers could be organized . The IWW exists today , but its most significant impact was during its first two decades of existence . Government and labor ( edit ) See also : National Civic Federation , Injunction , and Norris - LaGuardia Act In 1908 the U.S. Supreme Court decided Loewe v. Lawlor ( the Danbury Hatters ' Case ) . In 1902 the Hatters ' Union instituted a nationwide boycott of the hats made by a nonunion company in Connecticut . Owner Dietrich Loewe brought suit against the union for unlawful combinations to restrain trade in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act . The Court ruled that the union was subject to an injunction and liable for the payment of triple damages . In 1915 Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes , speaking for the Court , again decided in favor of Loewe , upholding a lower federal court ruling ordering the union to pay damages of $252,130 . ( The cost of lawyers had already exceeded $100,000 , paid by the AFL ) . This was not a typical case in which a few union leaders were punished with short terms in jail ; specifically , the life savings of several hundreds of the members were attached . The lower court ruling established a major precedent , and became a serious issue for the unions . The Clayton Act of 1914 presumably exempted unions from the antitrust prohibition and established for the first time the Congressional principle that `` the labor of a human being is not a commodity or article of commerce '' . However , judicial interpretation so weakened it that prosecutions of labor under the antitrust acts continued until the enactment of the Norris - La Guardia Act in 1932 . Loewe v. Lawlor , 208 U.S. 274 ( 1908 ) , 235 U.S. 522 ( 1915 ) State legislation 1912 -- 1918 : 36 states adopted the principle of workmen 's compensation for all industrial accidents . Also : prohibition of the use of an industrial poison , several states require one day 's rest in seven , the beginning of effective prohibition of night work , of maximum limits upon the length of the working day , and of minimum wage laws for women . World war I ( edit ) Gompers and nearly all labor unions were strong supporters of the war effort . They used their leverage to gain recognition and higher wages . They minimized strikes as wages soared and full employment was reached . To keep factories running smoothly , Wilson established the National War Labor Board in 1918 , which forced management to negotiate with existing unions . The AFL unions and the railway brotherhoods strongly encouraged their young men to enlist in the military . They fiercely opposed efforts to reduce recruiting and slow war production by the anti-war IWW and left - wing Socialists . President Wilson appointed Gompers to the powerful Council of National Defense , where he set up the War Committee on Labor . The AFL membership soared to 2.4 million in 1917 . Anti-war socialists controlled the IWW , which fought against the war effort and was in turn shut down by legal action by the federal government . Strikes of 1919 ( edit ) In 1919 , the AFL tried to make their gains permanent and called a series of major strikes in meat , steel , and many other industries . Management counterattacked , claiming that key strikes were run by Communists intent on destroying capitalism . Nearly all the strikes ultimately failed , forcing unions back to positions similar to those around 1910 . Coal strike of 1919 ( edit ) `` Keeping Warm '' , the Los Angeles Times , a conservative newspaper , demands federal action to stop the coal strike , November 22 , 1919 The United Mine Workers under John L. Lewis called a strike for November 1 , 1919 in all soft ( bituminous ) coal fields . They had agreed to a wage agreement to run until the end of World War I and now sought to make permanent their wartime gains . U.S. Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer invoked the Lever Act , a wartime measure that made it a crime to interfere with the production or transportation of necessities . Ignoring the court order 400,000 coal workers walked out . The coal operators played the radical card , saying Lenin and Trotsky had ordered the strike and were financing it , and some of the press echoed that language . Lewis , facing criminal charges and sensitive to the propaganda campaign , withdrew his strike call . Lewis did not fully control the faction - ridden UAW and many locals ignored his call . As the strike dragged on into its third week , supplies of the nation 's main fuel were running low and the public called for ever stronger government action . Final agreement came after five weeks with the miners getting a 14 % raise , far less than they wanted . Women Telephone operators win strike in 1919 ( edit ) One important strike was won by labor . Moved to action by the rising cost of living , the president of the Boston Telephone Operator 's Union , Julia O'Connor , asked for higher wages from the New England Telephone Company . Wages of operators averaged a third less than women in manufacturing . In April , 9,000 women operators in New England went on strike , shutting down most telephone service . The company hired college students as strikebreakers , but they came under violent attack by men supporting the strikers . In a few days a settlement was reached giving higher wages . After the success O'Connor began a national campaign to organize women operators . Weakness of organized labor 1920 -- 1929 ( edit ) The 1920s marked a period of sharp decline for the labor movement . Union membership and activities fell sharply in the face of economic prosperity , a lack of leadership within the movement , and anti-union sentiments from both employers and the government . The unions were much less able to organize strikes . In 1919 , more than 4 million workers ( or 21 percent of the labor force ) participated in about 3,600 strikes . In contrast , 1929 witnessed about 289,000 workers ( or 1.2 percent of the labor force ) stage only 900 strikes . After a short recession in 1920 , the 1920s was a generally prosperous decade outside of farming and coal mining . The GNP growth 1921 - 29 was a very strong 6.0 % , double the long - term average of about 3 % . Real annual earnings ( in 1914 dollars ) for all employees ( deducting for unemployment ) was $566 in 1921 and $793 in 1929 , a real gain of 40 % . The economic prosperity of the decade led to stable prices , eliminating one major incentive to join unions . Unemployment fell from 11.7 % in 1921 to 2.4 % in 1923 and remained in the range of 2 % - 5 % until 1930 . The 1920s also saw a lack of strong leadership within the labor movement . Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor died in 1924 after serving as the organization 's president for 37 years . Observers said successor William Green , who was the secretary - treasurer of the United Mine Workers , `` lacked the aggressiveness and the imagination of the AFL 's first president '' . The AFL was down to less than 3 million members in 1925 after hitting a peak of 4 million members in 1920 . Employers across the nation led a successful campaign against unions known as the `` American Plan '' , which sought to depict unions as `` alien '' to the nation 's individualistic spirit . In addition , some employers , like the National Association of Manufacturers , used Red Scare tactics to discredit unionism by linking them to subversive activities . U.S. courts were less hospitable to union activities during the 1920s than in the past . In this decade , corporations used twice as many court injunctions against strikes than any comparable period . In addition , the practice of forcing employees ( by threat of termination ) to sign yellow - dog contracts that said they would not join a union was not outlawed until 1932 . Although the labor movement fell in prominence during the 1920s , the Great Depression would ultimately bring it back to life . Great Railroad strike of 1922 ( edit ) The Great Railroad Strike of 1922 , a nationwide railroad shop workers strike , began on July 1 . The immediate cause of the strike was the Railroad Labor Board 's announcement that hourly wages for railway repair and maintenance workers would be cut by seven cents on July 1 . This cut , which represented an average 12 % wage decrease for the affected workers , prompted a shop workers vote on whether or not to strike . The operators ' union did not join in the strike , and the railroads employed strikebreakers to fill three - fourths of the roughly 400,000 vacated positions , increasing hostilities between the railroads and the striking workers . On September 1 , a federal judge issued the sweeping `` Daugherty Injunction '' against striking , assembling , and picketing . Unions bitterly resented the injunction ; a few sympathy strikes shut down some railroads completely . The strike eventually died out as many shopmen made deals with the railroads on the local level . The often unpalatable concessions -- coupled with memories of the violence and tension during the strike -- soured relations between the railroads and the shopmen for years . Organized labor 1929 -- 1955 ( edit ) Open battle between striking teamsters armed with pipes and the police in the streets of Minneapolis in June 1934 . The Great Depression and organized labor ( edit ) The stock market crashed in October 1929 , and ushered in the Great Depression . By the winter of 1932 -- 33 , the economy was so perilous that the unemployment rate hit the 25 percent mark . Unions lost members during this time because laborers could not afford to pay their dues and furthermore , numerous strikes against wage cuts left the unions impoverished : `` one might have expected a reincarnation of organizations seeking to overthrow the capitalistic system that was now performing so poorly . Some workers did indeed turn to such radical movements as the Communist Party , but , in general , the nation seemed to have been shocked into inaction '' . Though unions were not acting yet , cities across the nation witnessed local and spontaneous marches by frustrated relief applicants . In March 1930 , hundreds of thousands of unemployed workers marched through New York City , Detroit , Washington , San Francisco and other cities in a mass protest organized by the Communist Party 's Unemployed Councils . In 1931 , more than 400 relief protests erupted in Chicago and that number grew to 550 in 1932 . The leadership behind these organizations often came from radical groups like Communist and Socialist parties , who wanted to organize `` unfocused neighborhood militancy into organized popular defense organizations '' . The Norris - La Guardia Anti-Injunction Act of 1932 ( edit ) Organized labor became more active in 1932 , with the passage of the Norris - La Guardia Act . On March 23 , 1932 , Republican President Herbert Hoover signed the Norris - La Guardia Act , marking the first of many pro-union bills that Washington would pass in the 1930s . Also known as the Anti-Injunction Bill , it offered procedural and substantive protections against the easy issuance of court injunctions during labor disputes , which had limited union behavior in the 1920s . Although the act only applied to federal courts , numerous states would pass similar acts in the future . Additionally , the act outlawed yellow - dog contracts , which were documents some employers forced their employees to sign to ensure they would not join a union ; employees who refused to sign were terminated from their jobs . The passage of the Norris - La Guardia Act signified a victory for the American Federation of Labor , which had been lobbying Congress to pass it for slightly more than five years . It also marked a large change in public policy . Up until the passage of this act , the collective bargaining rights of workers were severely hampered by judicial control . FDR and the national industrial Recovery Act ( edit ) President Franklin D. Roosevelt took office on March 4 , 1933 , and immediately began implementing programs to alleviate the economic crisis . In June , he passed the National Industrial Recovery Act , which gave workers the right to organize into unions . Though it contained other provisions , like minimum wage and maximum hours , its most significant passage was , `` Employees shall have the right to organize and bargain collectively through representative of their own choosing , and shall be free from the interference , restraint , or coercion of employers . '' This portion , which was known as Section 7 ( a ) , was symbolic to workers in the United States because it stripped employers of their rights to either coerce them or refuse to bargain with them . While no power of enforcement was written into the law , it `` recognized the rights of the industrial working class in the United States '' . Although the National Industrial Recovery Act was ultimately deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1935 and replaced by the Wagner Act two months after that , it fueled workers to join unions and strengthened those organizations . In response to both the Norris - La Guardia Act and the NIRA , workers who were previously unorganized in a number of industries -- such as rubber workers , oil and gas workers and service workers -- began to look for organizations that would allow them to band together . The NIRA strengthened workers ' resolve to unionize and instead of participating in unemployment or hunger marches , they started to participate in strikes for union recognition in various industries `` . In 1933 , the number of work stoppages jumped to 1,695 , double its figure from 1932 . In 1934 , 1,865 strikes occurred , involving more than 1.4 million workers . The elections of 1934 might have reflected the `` radical upheaval sweeping the country '' , as Roosevelt won the greatest majority either party ever held in the Senate and 322 Democrats won seats in the United States House of Representatives versus 103 Republicans . It is possible that `` the great social movement from below thus strengthened the independence of the executive branch of government '' . Despite the impact of such changes on the United States ' political structure and on workers ' empowerment , some scholars have criticized the impacts of these policies from a classical economic perspective . Cole and Ohanian ( 2004 ) find that the New Deal 's pro-labor policies are an important factor in explaining the weak recovery from the Great Depression and the rise in real wages in some industrial sectors during this time . The American Federation of labor : craft unionism vs. industrial unionism ( edit ) The AFL was growing rapidly , from 2.1 million members in 1933 to 3.4 million in 1936 . But it was experiencing severe internal stresses regarding how to organize new members . Traditionally , the AFL organized unions by craft rather than industry , where electricians or stationary engineers would form their own skill - oriented unions , rather than join a large automobile - making union . Most AFL leaders , including president William Green , were reluctant to shift from the organization 's longstanding craft unionism and started to clash with other leaders within the organization , such as John L. Lewis . The issue came up at the annual AFL convention in San Francisco in 1934 and 1935 , but the majority voted against a shift to industrial unionism both years . After the defeat at the 1935 convention , nine leaders from the industrial faction led by Lewis met and organized the Committee for Industrial Organization within the AFL to `` encourage and promote organization of workers in the mass production industries '' for `` educational and advisory '' functions . The CIO , which later changed its name to the Congress of Industrial Organizations ( CIO ) , formed unions with the hope of bringing them into the AFL , but the AFL refused to extend full membership privileges to CIO unions . In 1938 , the AFL expelled the CIO and its million members , and they formed a rival federation . The two federations fought it out for membership ; while both supported Roosevelt and the New Deal , the CIO was further to the left , while the AFL had close ties to the big city machines . John L. Lewis and the CIO ( edit ) John L. Lewis ( 1880 -- 1969 ) was the president of the United Mine Workers of America ( UMW ) from 1920 to 1960 , and the driving force behind the founding of the Congress of Industrial Organizations ( CIO ) . Using UMW organizers the new CIO established the United Steel Workers of America ( USWA ) and organized millions of other industrial workers in the 1930s . Lewis threw his support behind Franklin D. Roosevelt ( FDR ) at the outset of the New Deal . After the passage of the Wagner Act in 1935 , Lewis traded on the tremendous appeal that Roosevelt had with workers in those days , sending organizers into the coal fields to tell workers `` The President wants you to join the Union . '' His UMW was one of FDR 's main financial supporters in 1936 , contributing over $500,000 . Lewis expanded his base by organizing the so - called `` captive mines '' , those held by the steel producers such as U.S. Steel . That required in turn organizing the steel industry , which had defeated union organizing drives in 1892 and 1919 and which had resisted all organizing efforts since then fiercely . The task of organizing steelworkers , on the other hand , put Lewis at odds with the AFL , which looked down on both industrial workers and the industrial unions that represented all workers in a particular industry , rather than just those in a particular skilled trade or craft . Lewis was the first president of the Committee of Industrial Organizations . Lewis , in fact , was the CIO : his UMWA provided the great bulk of the financial resources that the CIO poured into organizing drives by the United Automobile Workers ( UAW ) , the USWA , the Textile Workers Union and other newly formed or struggling unions . Lewis hired back many of the people he had exiled from the UMWA in the 1920s to lead the CIO and placed his protégé Philip Murray at the head of the Steel Workers Organizing Committee . The most dramatic success was the 1936 - 7 sit - down strike that paralyzed General Motors . It enabled CIO unionization of GM and the main automobile firms ( except Ford , which held out for a few years ) . However it had negative ramifications , as the Gallup Poll reported , `` More than anything else the use of the sit - down strike alienated the sympathies of the middle classes '' . The CIO 's actual membership ( as opposed to publicity figures ) was 2,850,000 for February 1942 . This included 537,000 members of the auto workers ( UAW ) , nearly 500,000 Steel Workers , almost 300,000 members of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers , about 180,000 Electrical Workers , and about 100,000 Rubber Workers . The CIO also included 550,000 members of the United Mine Workers , which did not formally withdraw from the CIO until later in the year . The remaining membership of 700,000 was scattered among thirty - odd smaller unions . Historians of the union movement in the 1930s have tried to explain its remarkable success in terms of the rank and file -- what motivated them to suddenly rally around leaders ( such as John L. Lewis ) who had been around for decades with little success . Why was the militancy of the mid-1930s so short lived ? Upsurge in World war II ( edit ) The war mobilization dramatically expanded union membership , from 8.7 million in 1940 to over 14.3 million in 1945 , about 36 % of the work force . For the first time large numbers of women factory workers were enrolled . Both the AFL and CIO supported Roosevelt in 1940 and 1944 , with 75 % or more of their votes , millions of dollars , and tens of thousands of precinct workers . However , Lewis opposed Roosevelt on foreign policy grounds in 1940 . He took the Mine Workers out of the CIO and rejoined the AFL . All labor unions strongly supported the war effort after June 1941 ( when Germany invaded the Soviet Union ) . Left - wing activists crushed wildcat strikes . Nonetheless , Lewis realized that he had enormous leverage . In 1943 , the middle of the war , when the rest of labor was observing a policy against strikes , Lewis led the miners out on a twelve - day strike for higher wages . The bipartisan Conservative coalition in Congress passed anti-union legislation over liberal opposition , most notably the Taft - Hartley Act of 1947 . A statistical analysis of the AFL and CIO national and local leaders in 1945 shows that opportunity for advancement in the labor movement was wide open . In contrast with other elites , the labor leaders did not come from established WASP families with rich , well - educated backgrounds . Indeed , they closely resembled the overall national population of adult men , with fewer from the South and from farm backgrounds . The union leaders were heavily Democratic . The newer CIO had a younger leadership , and one more involved with third parties , and less involved with local civic activities . Otherwise the AFL and CIO leaders were quite similar in background . Walter Reuther and UAW ( edit ) The Flint Sit - Down Strike of 1936 -- 37 was the decisive event in the formation of the United Auto Workers Union ( UAW ) . During the war Walter Reuther took control of the UAW , and soon led major strikes in 1946 . He ousted the Communists from the positions of power , especially at the Ford local . He was one of the most articulate and energetic leaders of the CIO , and of the merged AFL - CIO . Using brilliant negotiating tactics he leveraged high profits for the Big Three automakers into higher wages and superior benefits for UAW members . Pac and politics of 1940s ( edit ) New enemies appeared for the labor unions after 1935 . Newspaper columnist Westbrook Pegler was especially outraged by the New Deal 's support for powerful labor unions that he considered morally and politically corrupt . Pegler saw himself a populist and muckraker whose mission was to warn the nation that dangerous leaders were in power . In 1941 Pegler became the first columnist ever to win a Pulitzer Prize for reporting , for his work in exposing racketeering in Hollywood labor unions , focusing on the criminal career of William Morris Bioff . Pegler 's popularity reflected a loss of support for unions and liberalism generally , especially as shown by the dramatic Republican gains in the 1946 elections , often using an anti-union theme . Strike wave of 1945 ( edit ) With the end of the war in August 1945 came a wave of major strikes , mostly led by the CIO . In November , the UAW sent their 180,000 GM workers to the picket lines ; they were joined in January 1946 by a half - million steelworkers , as well as over 200,000 electrical workers and 150,000 packinghouse workers . Combined with many smaller strikes a new record of strike activity was set . The results were mixed , with the unions making some gains , but the economy was disordered by the rapid termination of war contracts , the complex reconversion to peacetime production , the return to the labor force of 12 million servicemen , and the return home of millions of women workers . The conservative control of Congress blocked liberal legislation , and `` Operation Dixie '' , the CIO 's efforts to expand massively into the South , failed . The Republicans exploited public anger at the unions in 1946 , winning a smashing landslide . Labor responded afterwards by taking strong actions . The CIO systematically purged communists and far - left sympathizers from leadership roles in its unions . The CIO expelled some unions that resisted the purge , notably its third - largest affiliate the United Electrical , Radio and Machine Workers of America ( UE ) , and set up a new rival union to take away the UE membership . Meanwhile , the AFL in 1947 set up its first explicitly political unit , Labor 's League for Political Education . The AFL increasingly abandoned its historic tradition of nonpartisanship , since neutrality between the major parties was impossible . By 1952 , the AFL had given up on decentralization , local autonomy , and non-partisanship , and had developed instead a new political approach marked by the same style of centralization , national coordination , and partisan alliances that characterized the CIO . After these moves , the CIO and AFL were in a good position to fight off Henry Wallace in 1948 and work enthusiastically for Truman 's reelection . The CIO and AFL no longer had major points of conflict , so they merged in amicably 1955 as the AFL -- CIO . Taft - Hartley Act ( edit ) Further information : Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 The Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 , also known as the Taft -- Hartley Act , in 1947 revised the Wagner Act to include restrictions on unions as well as management . It was a response to public demands for action after the wartime coal strikes and the postwar strikes in steel , autos and other industries that were perceived to have damaged the economy , as well as a threatened 1946 railroad strike that was called off at the last minute before it shut down the national economy . The Act was bitterly fought by unions , vetoed by President Harry S. Truman , and passed over his veto . Repeated union efforts to repeal or modify it always failed , and it remains in effect today . The Act was sponsored by Senator Robert A. Taft and Representative Fred Hartley , both Republicans . Congress overrode the veto on June 23 , 1947 , establishing the act as a law . Truman described the act as a `` slave - labor bill '' in his veto , but after it was enacted over his veto , he used its emergency provisions a number of times to halt strikes and lockouts . The new law required all union officials to sign an affidavit that they were not Communists or else the union would lose its federal bargaining powers guaranteed by the National Labor Relations Board . The Taft - Hartley Act amended the Wagner Act , officially known as the National Labor Relations Act , of 1935 . The amendments added to the NLRA a list of prohibited actions , or `` unfair labor practices '' , on the part of unions . The NLRA had previously prohibited only unfair labor practices committed by employers . It prohibited jurisdictional strikes , in which a union strikes in order to pressure an employer to assign particular work to the employees that union represents , and secondary boycotts and `` common situs '' picketing , in which unions picket , strike , or refuse to handle the goods of a business with which they have no primary dispute but which is associated with a targeted business . A later statute , the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act , passed in 1959 , tightened these restrictions on secondary boycotts still further . The Act outlawed closed shops , which were contractual agreements that required an employer to hire only union members . Union shops , in which new recruits must join the union within a certain amount of time , are permitted , but only as part of a collective bargaining agreement and only if the contract allows the worker at least thirty days after the date of hire or the effective date of the contract to join the union . The National Labor Relations Board and the courts have added other restrictions on the power of unions to enforce union security clauses and have required them to make extensive financial disclosures to all members as part of their duty of fair representation . On the other hand , a few years after the passage of the Act Congress repealed the provisions requiring a vote by workers to authorize a union shop , when it became apparent that workers were approving them in virtually every case . The amendments also authorized individual states to outlaw union security clauses entirely in their jurisdictions by passing `` right - to - work '' laws . Currently all of the states in the Deep South and a number of traditionally Republican states in the Midwest , Plains and Rocky Mountains regions have right - to - work laws . The amendments required unions and employers to give sixty days ' notice before they may undertake strikes or other forms of economic action in pursuit of a new collective bargaining agreement ; it did not , on the other hand , impose any `` cooling - off period '' after a contract expired . Although the Act also authorized the President to intervene in strikes or potential strikes that create a national emergency , the President has used that power less and less frequently in each succeeding decade . Historian James T. Patterson concludes that : By the 1950s most observers agreed that Taft - Hartley was no more disastrous for workers than the Wagner Act had been for employers . What ordinarily mattered most in labor relations was not government laws such as Taft - Hartley , but the relative power of unions and management in the economic marketplace . Where unions were strong they usually managed all right ; when they were weak , new laws did them little additional harm . Anti-communism ( edit ) The AFL had always opposed Communists inside the labor movement . After 1945 they took their crusade worldwide . The CIO had major Communist elements who played a key role in organizational work in the late 1930s and war years . By 1949 they were purged . The AFL and CIO strongly supported the Cold War policies of the Truman administration , including the Truman Doctrine , the Marshall Plan and NATO . Left - wing elements in the CIO protested and were forced out of the main unions . Thus Walter Reuther of the United Automobile Workers purged the UAW of all Communist elements . He was active in the CIO umbrella as well , taking the lead in expelling eleven Communist - dominated unions from the CIO in 1949 . As a leader of the anti-Communist center - left , Reuther was a founder of the liberal umbrella group Americans for Democratic Action in 1947 . In 1949 he led the CIO delegation to the London conference that set up the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions in opposition to the communist - dominated World Federation of Trade Unions . He had left the Socialist Party in 1939 , and throughout the 1950s and 1960s was a leading spokesman for liberal interests in the CIO and in the Democratic Party . James B. Carey also helped influence the CIO 's pullout from the WFTU and the formation of the ICFTU dedicated to promoting free trade and democratic unionism worldwide . Carey in 1949 had formed the IUE , a new CIO union for electrical workers , because the old one , the UE , was tightly controlled by the left . Marxian economist Richard D. Wolff argues that anti-communism was part of a strategy by big business , Republicans and conservatives to single out and destroy the members of the coalition that forced through the New Deal , namely organized labor , socialist and communist parties . Union decline 1955 -- 2016 ( edit ) Labor 's share of GDP has declined 1970 to 2016 , measured based on total compensation as well as salaries & wages . All employment is included , not just union members . Since its peak in the mid-20th century , the American labor movement has been in steady decline , with losses in the private sector larger than gains in the public sector . In the early 1950s , as the AFL and CIO merged , around a third of the American labor force was unionized ; by 2012 , the proportion was 11 % , constituting roughly 5 % in the private sector and 40 % in the public sector . Organized labor 's influence steadily waned and workers ' collective voice in the political process has weakened . Partly as a result , wages have stagnated and income inequality has increased . `` Although the National Labor Relations Act was initially a boon for unions , it also sowed the seeds of the labor movement 's decline . The act enshrined the right to unionize , but the system of workplace elections it created meant that unions had to organize each new factory or firm individually rather than organize by industry . In many European countries , collective - bargaining agreements extended automatically to other firms in the same industry , but in the United States , they usually reached no further than a plant 's gates . As a result , in the first decades of the postwar period , the organizing effort could not keep pace with the frenetic rate of job growth in the economy as a whole '' . On the political front , the shrinking unions lost influence in the Democratic Party , and pro-union liberal Republicans faded away . Intellectuals lost interest in unions , focusing their attention more on Vietnam , minorities , women and environmental issues . By the 1970s , a rapidly increasing flow of imports ( such as automobiles , steel and electronics from Germany and Japan , and clothing and shoes from Asia ) undercut American producers . By the 1980s there was a large - scale shift in employment with fewer workers in high - wage sectors and more in the low - wage sectors . Many companies closed or moved factories to Southern states ( where unions were weak ) . The effectiveness of strikes declined sharply , as companies after the 1970s threatened to close down factories or move them to low - wage states or to foreign countries . The number of major work stoppages fell by 97 % from 381 in 1970 to 187 in 1980 to only 11 in 2010 . The accumulating weaknesses were exposed when President Ronald Reagan -- a former union president -- broke the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization ( PATCO ) strike in 1981 , dealing a major blow to unions . Union membership among workers in private industry shrank dramatically , though after 1970 there was growth in employees unions of federal , state and local governments . The intellectual mood in the 1970s and 1980s favored deregulation and free competition . Numerous industries were deregulated , including airlines , trucking , railroads and telephones , over the objections of the unions involved . Republicans , using conservative think tanks as idea farms , began to push through legislative blueprints to curb the power of public employee unions as well as eliminate business regulations . Union weakness in the Southern United States undermined unionization and social reform throughout the nation , and such weakness is largely responsible for the anaemic U.S. welfare state . AFL and CIO merger 1955 ( edit ) The friendly merger of the AFL and CIO marked an end not only to the acrimony and jurisdictional conflicts between the coalitions , it also signaled the end of the era of experimentation and expansion that began in the mid 1930s . Merger became politically possible because of the deaths of Green of the AFL and Murray of the CIO in late 1952 , replaced by George Meany and Reuther . The CIO was no longer the radical dynamo , and was no longer a threat in terms of membership for the AFL had twice as many members . Furthermore , the AFL was doing a better job of expanding into the fast - growing white collar sector , with its organizations of clerks , public employees , teachers , and service workers . Although the AFL building trades maintained all - white policies , the AFL had more black members in all as the CIO . The problem of union corruption was growing in public awareness , and CIO 's industrial unions were less vulnerable to penetration by criminal elements than were the AFL 's trucking , longshoring , building , and entertainment unions . But Meany had a strong record in fighting corruption in New York unions , and was highly critical of the notoriously corrupt Teamsters . Unification would help the central organization fight corruption , yet would not contaminate the CIO unions . The defeat of the New Deal in the 1952 election further emphasized the need for unity to maximize political effectiveness . From the CIO side the merger was promoted by David McDonald of the Steelworkers and his top aide Arthur J. Goldberg . To achieve the successful merger , they jettisoned the more liberal policies of the CIO regarding civil rights and membership rights for blacks , jurisdictional disputes , and industrial unionism . Reuther went along with the compromises and did not contest the selection of Meany to head the AFL - CIO . Fearing the fallout of a drawn - out negotiation process , the AFL and CIO leadership decided on a `` short route '' to reconciliation . This meant all AFL and CIO unions would be accepted into the new organization `` as is , '' with all conflicts and overlaps to be sorted out after the merger . Negotiations were conducted by a small , select group of advisors . The draft constitution was primarily written by AFL Vice President Matthew Woll and CIO General Counsel Arthur Goldberg , while the joint policy statements were written by Woll , CIO Secretary - Treasurer James Carey , CIO vice presidents David McDonald and Joseph Curran , Brotherhood of Railway Clerks President George Harrison , and Illinois AFL - CIO President Reuben Soderstrom . Conservative attacks ( edit ) Labor unions were a whole high - profile target of Republican activists throughout the 1940s and 1950s , especially the Taft - Hartley Act of 1947 . Both the business community and local Republicans wanted to weaken unions , which played a major role in funding and campaigning for Democratic candidates . The strategy of the Eisenhower administration was to consolidate the anti-union potential inherent in Taft - Hartley . Pressure from the Justice Department , the Labor Department , and especially from congressional investigations focused on criminal activity and racketeering in high - profile labor unions , especially the Teamsters Union . Republicans wanted to delegitimize unions by focusing on their shady activities . The McClellan Committee hearings targeted Teamsters president James R. Hoffa as a public enemy . Young Robert Kennedy played a major role working for the committee . Public opinion polls showed growing distrust toward unions , and especially union leaders -- or `` labor bosses , '' as Republicans called them . The bipartisan Conservative Coalition , With the aid of liberals such as the Kennedy brothers , won new Congressional restrictions on organized labor in the form of the Landrum - Griffin Act ( 1959 ) . The main impact was to force more democracy on the previously authoritarian union hierarchies . However , in the 1958 elections , taking place during a sharp economic recession , the unions fought back especially against state Right to Work laws and defeated many conservative Republicans . The Teamsters union was expelled from the AFL for its notorious corruption under president Dave Beck . Its troubles gained national attention from highly visible Senate hearings . The target was Jimmy Hoffa ( 1913 -- 1975 ) , who replaced Beck and held total power until he was imprisoned in 1964 . Civil rights movement ( edit ) The UAW under Reuther played a major role in funding and supporting the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s . United farm workers , 1960s ( edit ) Hispanics comprise a large fraction of the farm labor force , but there was little successful unionization before the arrival in the 1960s of Cesar Chavez ( 1927 -- 1993 ) , who mobilized California workers into the United Farm Workers organization . Successes of the UFW include : ( 1 . ) securing a three - year contract with grape growers ; ( 2 . ) securing another 3 - year contract with Minute Maid for 55,000 workers ; ( 3 . ) securing , with political allies , as the result of continuing strikes , an Agricultural Relations Board , after much conflict and union - busting by the Teamsters in the mid-1970s ; and ( 4 . ) maintaining the ability to invoke consumer boycotts . Chavez had a significant political impact ; as Jenkins points out , `` state and national elites no longer automatically sided with the growers . '' Thus , the political insurgency of the UFW was successful because of effective strategizing in the right kind of political environment . Nationwide unions have been seeking opportunities to enroll Hispanic members . Much of their limited success has been in the hotel industry . Reagan era , 1980s ( edit ) Cloud argues , `` the emblematic moment of the period from 1955 through the 1980s in American labor was the tragic PATCO strike in 1981 . '' Most unions were strongly opposed to Reagan in the 1980 presidential election , despite the fact that Reagan remains the only union leader ( or even member ) to become President . On August 3 , 1981 , the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization ( PATCO ) union -- which had supported Reagan -- rejected the government 's pay raise offer and sent its 16,000 members out on strike to shut down the nation 's commercial airlines . They demanded a reduction in the workweek to 32 from 40 hours , a $10,000 bonus , pay raises up to 40 % , and early retirement . Federal law forbade such a strike , and the Transportation department implemented a backup plan ( of supervisors and military air controllers ) to keep the system running . The strikers were given 48 hours to return to work , else they would be fired and banned from ever again working in a federal capacity . A fourth of the strikers came back to work , but 13,000 did not . The strike collapsed , PATCO vanished , and the union movement as a whole suffered a major reversal , which accelerated the decline of membership across the board in the private sector . Schulman and Zelizer argue that the breaking of PATCO , `` sent shock waves through the entire U.S. labor relations regime ... strike rates plummeted , and union power sharply declined . '' Unions suffered a continual decline of power during the Reagan administration , with a concomitant effect on wages . The average first - year raise ( for 1000 - plus -- worker contracts ) fell from 9.8 % to 1.2 % ; in manufacturing , raises fell from 7.2 % to negative 1.2 % . Salaries of unionized workers also fell relative to non-union workers . Women and blacks suffered more from these trends . Union cash advantage 2014 Decline of private sector unions ( edit ) By 2011 fewer than 7 % of employees in the private sector belonged to unions . The UAW 's numbers of automobile union members are representative of the manufacturing sector : 1,619,000 active members in 1970 , 1,446,000 in 1980 , 952,000 in 1990 , 623,000 in 2004 , and 377,000 in 2010 ( with far more retired than active members ) . By 2014 , coal mining had largely shifted to open - pit mines in Wyoming , and there were only 60,000 active coal miners . The UMW has 35,000 members , of whom 20,000 were coal miners , chiefly in underground mines in Kentucky and West Virginia . By contrast it had 800,000 members in the late 1930s . However it remains responsible for pensions and medical benefits for 40,000 retired miners , and for 50,000 spouses and dependents . 2016 -- Present ( edit ) The number of union members nationwide increased from 2016 to 2017 , and some states saw union growth for the first time in several years or decades . Union growth in 2017 was primarily millennial workers . For instance , about 76 percent of new UAW union members during their increase came from workers under the age of 35 . Although the total number of union members increased 1.7 percent in 2017 , the Economic Policy Institute noted that year - to - year union membership often fluctuates due to hiring or layoffs in particular sectors , and cautioned against interpreting one - year changes as trends . The percentage of the workforce belonging to unions was 10.7 percent in 2017 , unchanged over the previous year , but down from 11.1 percent in 2015 , and 12.1 percent in 2007 . Teacher strikes ( edit ) Main article : 2018 teachers ' strikes in the United States In 2018 , a series of statewide teacher strikes and protests happened garnering nationwide attention due to their success , as well as the fact that several of them were in states where public - employee strikes are illegal . Many of the major strikes were in Republican majority state legislatures , leading to the name `` Red State Revolt '' . Protests were held in Arizona , Colorado , North Carolina , Oklahoma , and West Virginia . Additional smaller protests were held in Kentucky and North Carolina . The protests spread to a bus driver strike in the suburbs of Atlanta , Georgia , where nearly 250 bus drivers participated . The strikes included an adjunct faculty strike at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond , Virginia leading to an increase in adjunct wages . Public - sector unions ( edit ) Main article : Public - sector trade unions in the United States Labor unions generally ignored government employees because they were controlled mostly by the patronage system used by the political parties before the arrival of civil service . Post Office workers did form unions . The National Association of Letter Carriers started in 1889 and grew quickly . By the mid-1960s it had 175,000 members in 6,400 local branches . Several competing organizations of postal clerks emerged starting in the 1890s . Merger discussions dragged on for years , until finally the NFPOC , UNMAPOC and others merged in 1961 as the United Federation of Postal Clerks . Another round of mergers in 1971 produced the American Postal Workers Union ( APWU ) . In 2012 the APWU had 330,000 members . The various postal unions did not engage in strikes . Main article : Boston Police Strike Historian Joseph Slater , says , `` Unfortunately for public sector unions , the most searing and enduring image of their history in the first half of the twentieth century was the Boston police strike . The strike was routinely cited by courts and officials through the end of the 1940s . '' Governor Calvin Coolidge broke the strike and the legislature took control of the police away from city officials . The police strike chilled union interest in the public sector in the 1920s . The major exception was the emergence of unions of public school teachers in the largest cities ; they formed the American Federation of Teachers ( AFT ) , affiliated with the AFL . In suburbs and small cities , the National Education Association ( NEA ) became active , but it insisted it was not a labor union but a professional organization . New Deal era ( edit ) In the mid 1930s efforts were made to unionize WPA workers , but were opposed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt . Moe points out that Roosevelt , `` an ardent supporter of collective bargaining in the private sector , was opposed to it in the public sector . '' Roosevelt in 1937 told the nation what the position of his government was : `` All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining , as usually understood , can not be transplanted into the public service ... The very nature and purposes of government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with government employee organizations . `` Little New Deal '' era ( edit ) Change came in the 1950s . In 1958 New York mayor Robert Wagner , Jr. issued an executive order , called `` the little Wagner Act , '' giving city employees certain bargaining rights , and gave their unions with exclusive representation ( that is , the unions alone were legally authorized to speak for all city workers , regardless of whether or not some workers were members . ) Management complained but the unions had power in city politics . By the 1960s and 1970s public - sector unions expanded rapidly to cover teachers , clerks , firemen , police , prison guards and others . In 1962 , President John Kennedy issued Executive Order 10988 , upgrading the status of unions of federal workers . Recent years ( edit ) After 1960 public sector unions grew rapidly and secured good wages and high pensions for their members . While manufacturing and farming steadily declined , state - and local - government employment quadrupled from 4 million workers in 1950 to 12 million in 1976 and 16.6 million in 2009 . In 2009 the U.S. membership of public sector unions surpassed membership of private sector unions for the first time , at 7.9 million and 7.4 million respectively . In 2011 states faced a growing fiscal crisis and the Republicans had made major gains in the 2010 elections . Public sector unions came under heavy attack especially in Wisconsin , as well as Indiana , New Jersey and Ohio from conservative Republican legislatures . Conservative state legislatures tried to drastically reduce the abilities of unions to collectively bargain . Conservatives argued that public unions were too powerful since they helped elect their bosses , and that overly generous pension systems were too heavy a drain on state budgets .

It was recorded by Redding twice in 1967 , including once just days before his death in a plane crash . The song was released on Stax Records ' Volt label in 1968 , becoming the first posthumous single to top the charts in the US . It reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart . Redding started writing the lyrics to the song in August 1967 , while sitting on a rented houseboat in Sausalito , California . He completed the song with the help of Cropper , who was a Stax producer and the guitarist for Booker T. & the M.G. 's . The song features whistling and sounds of waves crashing on a shore . Contents ( hide ) 1 Origins 2 Personnel 2.1 Charts 2.1. 1 Weekly charts 2.1. 2 Year - end charts 3 Later versions 4 Reception 4.1 Universal success 4.2 Legacy 4.2. 1 Other cover versions 5 References 6 Bibliography 7 External links Origins ( edit ) While on tour with the Bar - Kays in August 1967 , Redding wrote the first verse of the song , under the abbreviated title `` Dock of the Bay , '' on a houseboat at Waldo Point in Sausalito , California . He had completed his famed performance at the Monterey Pop Festival just weeks earlier . While touring in support of the albums King & Queen ( a collaboration with female vocalist Carla Thomas ) and Live in Europe , he continued to scribble lines of the song on napkins and hotel paper . In November of that year , he joined producer and guitarist Steve Cropper at the Stax recording studio in Memphis , Tennessee , to record the song . In a September 1990 interview on NPR 's Fresh Air , Cropper explained the origins of the song : Otis was one of those the kind of guy who had 100 ideas . ( ... ) He had been in San Francisco doing The Fillmore . And the story that I got he was renting boathouse or stayed at a boathouse or something and that 's where he got the idea of the ships coming in the bay there . And that 's about all he had : `` I watch the ships come in and I watch them roll away again . '' I just took that ... and I finished the lyrics . If you listen to the songs I collaborated with Otis , most of the lyrics are about him . ( ... ) Otis did n't really write about himself but I did . Songs like `` Mr. Pitiful , '' `` Fa - Fa - Fa - Fa - Fa ( Sad Song ) '' ; they were about Otis and Otis ' life . `` Dock of the Bay '' was exactly that : `` I left my home in Georgia , headed for the Frisco Bay '' was all about him going out to San Francisco to perform . Together , they completed the music and melancholic lyrics of `` ( Sittin ' On ) The Dock of the Bay . '' From those sessions emerged Redding 's final recorded work , including `` Dock of the Bay , '' which was recorded on November 22 , with additional overdubs on December 7 . Redding 's restrained yet emotive delivery is backed by Cropper 's memorably succinct guitar playing . The song is somewhat different in style from most of Redding 's other recordings . While discussing the song with his wife , Redding stated that he had wanted to `` be a little different '' with `` The Dock of the Bay '' and `` change his style '' . There were concerns that `` The Dock of the Bay '' had too much of a pop feel for an Otis Redding record , and contracting the Stax gospel act the Staple Singers to record backing vocals was discussed but never carried out . Redding had considered the song to be unfinished and planned to record what he considered a final version , but never got the chance . The song features a whistled tune heard before the song 's fade . It was originally performed by Redding , who ( according to Cropper ) had `` this little fadeout rap he was gon na do , an ad - lib . He forgot what it was so he started whistling . '' Redding continued to tour after the recording sessions . On December 10 , his charter plane crashed into Lake Monona , outside Madison , Wisconsin . Redding and six others were killed . After Redding 's death , Cropper mixed `` Dock of the Bay '' at Stax Studios . He added the sound of seagulls and waves crashing to the background , as Redding had requested , recalling the sounds he heard when he was staying on the houseboat .

Rex ( as the B - side of `` Dreamy Lady '' , released in 1975 ) , Brent Smith of Shinedown ( during an acoustic set in 2008 and with Zach Myers in a 2014 EP ) and Garth Brooks ( for the 2013 Blue - Eyed Soul album in the Blame It All on My Roots : Five Decades of Influences compilation ) as well as John Hartford on the Retrograss album with David Grisman and Mike Seeger ( 1999 ) . Sammy Hagar released a version of the song as a non-album single in 1979 . His version features the song 's co-writer , Steve Cropper , on guitar and members of the band Boston -- Brad Delp , Sib Hashian and Barry Goudreau -- on backup vocals . Producer John S. Carter had the track recorded in May 1979 with Cropper , bassist Leland Sklar and drummer Alvin Taylor . Later , he added Hagar 's vocals with background harmonies by the three members of Boston , with whom Hagar had just toured . Although the single was a modest hit for Hagar , peaking at number 65 on the Billboard Hot 100 , he considered it Carter 's efforts to manufacture a pop top 40 pop hit despite Hagar 's heavy metal roots . Hagar and Cropper 's work on the song was rated the thirty - seventh worst guitar solo in history by Pitchfork in 1998 . The song was not released on an album until 1992 , when it appeared on The Best of Sammy Hagar . The B - side of Hagar 's single was the first release of his studio version of `` I 've Done Everything for You '' . Michael Bolton included the song on his 1987 album The Hunger . His version peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 . Zelma Redding , Otis 's widow , said she was so moved by Bolton 's performance `` that it brought tears to my eyes . It reminded me so much of my husband that I know if he heard it , he would feel the same . '' In a framed letter that hangs on the wall of Bolton 's office , she referred to the record as `` my all - time favorite version of my husband 's classic . '' In April 2013 , Justin Timberlake performed the song as part of a tribute to Memphis soul music at the `` In Performance '' concert series performed at the White House . The series was attended by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama . Reception ( edit ) Phil Walden and Jim Stewart were among those who had doubts about the song , the sound , and the production . Redding accepted some of the criticisms and fine - tuned the song . He reversed the opening , which was Redding 's whistling part , and put it at the end as suggested . `` The Dock of the Bay '' was released early in 1968 and topped the charts in the US and UK . Billboard ranked the record as the number 4 song for 1968 . Universal success ( edit ) `` ( Sittin ' On ) The Dock of the Bay '' was released in January 1968 , shortly after Redding 's death . R&B stations quickly added the song to their playlists , which had been saturated with Redding 's previous hits . The song shot to number one on the R&B charts in early 1968 and , starting in March , topped the pop charts for four weeks . The album , which shared the song 's title , became his largest - selling to date , peaking at number four on the pop albums chart . `` Dock of the Bay '' was popular in countries across the world and became Redding 's most successful record , selling more than four million copies worldwide . The song went on to win two Grammy Awards : Best R&B Song and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance . Legacy ( edit ) Redding 's body of work at the time of his death was immense , including a backlog of archived recordings as well as those created in November and December 1967 , just before his death . In mid-1968 , Stax Records severed its distribution contract with Atlantic Records , which retained the label 's back catalog and the rights to the unreleased Otis Redding masters . Through its Atco subsidiary ( Atco had distributed Otis Redding 's releases from Stax 's Volt label ) , Atlantic issued three more albums of new Redding material , one live album , and eight singles between 1968 and 1970 . Reprise Records issued a live album featuring Redding and Jimi Hendrix at the Monterey Pop Festival . Both studio albums and anthologies sold well in America and abroad . Redding was especially successful in the United Kingdom , where The Dock of the Bay went to number one , becoming the first posthumous album to reach the top spot there . In 1999 , BMI named the song as the sixth-most performed song of the twentieth century , with about six million performances . Rolling Stone ranked The Dock of the Bay number 161 on its 500 Greatest Albums of All Time , the third of five Redding albums on the list . `` ( Sittin ' On ) The Dock of the Bay '' was ranked twenty - eighth on Rolling Stone 's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time , the second - highest of four Redding songs on the list , after `` Respect '' ( in this case the version recorded by Aretha Franklin ) . Jim Morrison made reference to `` Dock of the Bay '' in the Doors ' song `` Runnin ' Blue '' , written by Robby Krieger , from their 1969 album The Soft Parade . Morrison sings an a capella intro for the song , singing directly about Otis Redding . `` Poor Otis dead and gone , left me here to sing his song , pretty little girl with a red dress on , poor Otis dead and gone . '' And during the verse , the lyrics `` Got to find a dock and a bay '' appear more than once ; as well as several other references to Redding 's song . Other cover versions ( edit ) In addition to the original Otis Redding version , several other versions have charted on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States . King Curtis 's version charted for five weeks starting in March 1968 and peaked at number 84 ( during the same month , the original was number one ) . A year later , Sergio Mendes & Brasil ' 66 's version charted for five weeks starting in June 1969 and peaked at number 66 . Sammy Hagar 's version charted for five weeks starting in April 1979 , peaking at number 65 . The Reddings , who included two of Otis Redding 's sons , released a version which charted for nine weeks starting in June 1982 and peaked at number 55 . Michael Bolton 's rendition charted for 17 weeks starting in January 1988 and peaked at number 11 , making it the highest - charting cover version . In 2016 , the British coffee brand Nescafé remixed part of the song in a television advertisement featuring American musician will.i.am . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Bowman , Rob ( 2007 ) .

Release date 10 July 1985 ( 1985 - 07 - 10 ) Running time 107 minutes Country Australia Language English Budget $10 million Box office $36.2 million ( North America ) Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome ( also known as Mad Max 3 ) is a 1985 Australian post-apocalyptic action adventure film directed by George Miller and George Ogilvie , distributed by Warner Bros. , and written by Miller and Terry Hayes . In this sequel to Mad Max 2 : The Road Warrior , Max ( Mel Gibson ) is exiled into the desert by the corrupt ruler of Bartertown , Aunty Entity ( Tina Turner ) , and there encounters an isolated cargo cult centered on a crashed Boeing 747 and its deceased captain . The film is the third installment in the Mad Max film series and the last to feature Gibson as Max . The series was later given a fourth installment in 2015 with Mad Max : Fury Road , starring Tom Hardy in the titular role .

Continuing on foot , Max follows their trail to the seedy community of Bartertown . While refused entry at first , Max is brought before the founder and ruler of Bartertown , the ruthless Aunty Entity . She offers to resupply his vehicle and equipment if he completes a task for her . Aunty explains that Bartertown depends on a crude methane refinery powered by pig feces , which is run by a dwarf called Master and his giant bodyguard Blaster . `` Master Blaster '' holds an uneasy truce with Aunty for control of Bartertown ; however , Master has begun to challenge Aunty 's leadership . Aunty instructs Max to provoke a confrontation with Blaster in Thunderdome , a gladiatorial arena where conflicts are resolved by a duel to the death . Max enters the refinery to size up Master Blaster and befriends Pig Killer , a convict sentenced to work for slaughtering a pig to feed his family . Max finds his stolen vehicle in Master Blaster 's possession , and helps disarm his booby - trapped engine to converse with him . Here he discovers that Blaster is exceptionally strong but extremely sensitive to high - pitched noises . Max then faces Blaster in the Thunderdome and uses his weakness to gain the upper hand . He refuses to kill him after discovering he is developmentally disabled and has the functional mentality of a child , telling Aunty it was not part of their deal , revealing her plot . Master , previously unaware of this covert deal to kill Blaster , is furious and vows to shut down the refinery and , by extension , Bartertown . An enraged Aunty has Blaster executed , Master imprisoned , and Max exiled , bound , masked , and sent on a horse in a random direction to the wasteland . As his horse perishes in a sinkhole , Max frees himself and presses on . Near death , Max is found by a desert dweller named Savannah Nix , who hauls him back to her home , a primitive community of children and teenagers who live in an oasis . The children , survivors of a crashed Boeing 747 , were left by their parents who went to find civilization . They believe Max to be the flight captain ( Captain G.L. Walker ) , returned to fix the aeroplane and fly them to civilization . Max denies this and insists that they remain in the relative safety of the oasis , knowing that the only `` civilization '' within reach is Bartertown . Some of the children , led by Savannah , leave anyway , determined to find the prophesied `` Tomorrow - morrow Land . '' Max stops them by force , but another tribe member known as Scrooloose , sets them free during the night and leaves with them . Their leader , Slake M'Thirst , asks Max to go after them , and he agrees , taking a few of the children with him to help . They find Savannah 's group in danger but are unable to save one of the children from a sinkhole . With no supplies left , they are forced to head for Bartertown . The group sneak in via the underground , and , with Pig Killer 's help , free Master and escape in a train - truck , destroying Bartertown 's methane refinery in the process . Aunty leads the inhabitants in pursuit , catching up to the train . Max 's group slows them down while Scrooloose hijacks one of the pursuing vehicles , which happens to be Max 's stolen vehicle . The group comes across Jedediah and his son , and Max coerces Jedediah into helping his group escape with their aeroplane . Max uses his vehicle to clear a path through Aunty 's men , allowing the aeroplane to take off and escape , leaving him at Aunty 's mercy . Aunty spares his life , having come to respect him ; she says sardonically , `` Well -- ai n't we a pair , raggedy man ? Goodbye , soldier , '' and departs to presumably make good on her vow to rebuild Bartertown . Jedediah flies the children to the coast , where they discover the nuclear - devastated ruins of Sydney . Years later , the children have established a small society of themselves and other lost wanderers in the ruins . Savannah , now leader of the group , recites a nightly story of their journey and the man who saved them , as Max , still alive in the desert , wanders on to places unknown . Cast ( edit ) Mel Gibson as `` Mad '' Max Rockatansky , a former MFP officer and lone warrior . Max roves the desert aimlessly , his existence entirely based around self - survival . Tina Turner as Aunty Entity , the ruthless , determined ruler of Bartertown . Entity is a glamorous , Amazon - like figure who recognises a strength of character in Max , and hopes to exploit him to gain sole control of Bartertown from Master . Despite her brutality and Bartertown 's chaos , Entity is an intelligent , cultured woman , who holds a hope of one day rebuilding society to its former glory . In regard of the character , Miller said , `` We needed someone whose vitality and intelligence would make her control over Bartertown credible . She had to be a positive character rather than a conventional evil ' bad guy . ' We had worked on the script with ( Turner ) in mind . But we had no idea if she 'd be interested . '' Bruce Spence as Jedediah the Pilot , a marauding pilot who trades stolen goods in Bartertown . Spence previously played the Gyro Captain in Mad Max 2 . `` They were well into the shoot when they offered me a part described as ' not the Gyro Captain but kind of like the Gyro Captain ! ' '' said Spence . `` They said there 's kind of a reflection of him and that they were having difficulty casting the role so they thought to themselves , ' Why not Bruce ! ' '' Adam Cockburn as Jedediah Jr. , Jedediah 's son , who often helps his father steal supplies , flying his father 's aeroplane while Jedediah procures the goods . Frank Thring as The Collector , head of Bartertown 's trade and exchange network . Angelo Rossitto as Master , a diminutive former engineer , who parlays his technical expertise into building the methane extractor responsible for Bartertown 's electricity . When the film begins , Master has grown power - crazed under the protection of Blaster , and the reverence he receives from the people of Bartertown . He frequently humiliates Entity into acknowledging his power over her . When Blaster is killed however , Master becomes a far more subdued , humble character , and eventually escapes with the help of Max , Pig Killer , and the children . Paul Larsson as Blaster , Master 's silent , mentally - impaired bodyguard . Angry Anderson as Ironbar Bassey , head of Bartertown 's security and Aunty Entity 's Number One Henchman . Despite his short height he is a fierce warrior figure , wearing a doll 's head standard on his back , who comes to dislike Max more and more as the film proceeds . After several near - death incidents where his survival becomes more and more unlikely , he is presumably killed in the film 's climactic chase , last seen giving the middle finger to the escaping heroes . Robert Grubb as Pig Killer , a convict in Bartertown sentenced to work in the methane refinery , shovelling pig feces . He befriends Max , and when Max and the children return to rescue Master , Pig Killer escapes to help them . Helen Buday as Savannah Nix , leader of a tribe of child survivors ( or the children of those survivors ) from a crashed 747 . Savannah is the one who ensures the tribe remembers its past through the `` tells '' and acts as a surrogate mother figure to many of them . She is also the partner of Slake . Tom Jennings as Slake M'Thirst , the male leader of the child tribe . Edwin Hodgeman as Dr. Dealgood , the flamboyant Master of Ceremonies and chief auctioneer of Bartertown . Rod Zuanic as Scrooloose . George Spartels as Blackfinger . Production ( edit ) Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome was the first Mad Max film made without producer Byron Kennedy , who was killed in a helicopter crash in 1983 while location scouting for the film . While the film was in development before Kennedy 's death , director George Miller was hesitant to continue without his producing partner . `` I was reluctant to go ahead , '' said Miller . `` And then there was a sort of need to -- let 's do something just to get over the shock and grief of all of that . '' A title card at the end of film reads : `` ... For Byron '' . Miller ended up co-directing the film with George Ogilvie , with whom he had worked on the 1983 miniseries The Dismissal . `` I had a lot on my plate , '' said Miller . `` I asked my friend George Ogilvie , who was working on the mini-series , ' Could you come and help me ? ' But I do n't remember the experience because I was doing it to just ... You know , I was grieving . '' Together , Miller and Ogilvie used a group workshopping rehearsal technique that they had developed . Exterior location filming took place primarily in the mining town of Coober Pedy , with the set for Bartertown built at an old brickworks ( the Brickpit ) at Homebush Bay in Sydney 's western suburbs and the children 's camp shot at the Blue Mountains . `` Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome proved far more challenging than The Road Warrior , '' said cinematographer Dean Semler . `` We were dealing with more varied environments than before and it was essential that each of the worlds created for the film have a distinctly different look . '' Music ( edit ) Main article : Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome ( soundtrack ) The musical score for Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome was composed by Maurice Jarre , replacing Brian May , who composed the music for the previous two films . The film also features two songs performed by Tina Turner , `` We Do n't Need Another Hero ( Thunderdome ) '' and `` One of the Living , '' with the latter replacing Jarre 's opening titles music . A soundtrack album was originally released by Capitol Records in 1985 . It includes Turner 's `` We Do n't Need Another Hero ( Thunderdome ) '' , which reached # 1 in Canada , # 2 in the US and # 3 in the British single charts ; it plays over the end credits . `` One of the Living '' was rerecorded for single release , and reached # 15 in both Canada and the US , but only # 55 in Britain . A double CD containing only Jarre 's original music was issued in 2010 on Tadlow Music / Silva Screen Records . Release ( edit ) Although the film 's budget was more extravagant than its predecessors ' , its box office yield was only moderate in comparison . Beyond Thunderdome grossed A $4,272,802 at the box office in Australia . Critical reception ( edit ) Critical reaction to the film was generally positive ; it holds an 81 % rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 47 reviews with an average rating of 6.4 / 10 with a consensus saying , `` Beyond Thunderdome deepens the Mad Max character without sacrificing the amazing vehicle choreography and stunts that made the originals memorable '' , although reviewers disagreed as to whether they considered the film the highest or lowest point of the Mad Max trilogy . Most of the criticism focused on the children in the second half of the film , whom many found too similar to the Lost Boys from the story of Peter Pan . Though uncredited , Robert C. Cumbow of Slant Magazine identifies `` whole ideas , themes and characterizations '' adopted from Riddley Walker , a 1980 post-apocalyptic novel by Russell Hoban . On the other hand , critics praised the Thunderdome scene in particular ; film critic Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times called the Thunderdome `` the first really original movie idea about how to stage a fight since we got the first karate movies '' and praised the fight between Max and Blaster as `` one of the great creative action scenes in the movies '' . Ebert awarded the film 4 stars out of 4 and later placed the film on his list of the 10 best pictures of 1985 . Variety wrote that the film `` opens strong '' and has good acting from Gibson , Turner , and the children . Despite mostly positive reviews from critics , some fans of the series have criticised the film for being `` Hollywood - ized '' and having a lighter tone than its predecessors . Legacy ( edit ) Main article : Mad Max series legacy and influence in popular culture As with the previous installments of the Mad Max series , Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome has influenced popular culture in various regards . The term `` thunderdome '' is now used in various contexts in which its meaning is similar to the sense in which it appears in the film . Filmmaker Chris Weitz has cited the film as an influence .

Electron shell
Electron shell - wikipedia Electron shell Jump to : navigation , search Periodic table with electron shells In chemistry and atomic physics , an electron shell , or a principal energy level , may be thought of as an orbit followed by electrons around an atom 's nucleus . The closest shell to the nucleus is called the `` 1 shell '' ( also called `` K shell '' ) , followed by the `` 2 shell '' ( or `` L shell '' ) , then the `` 3 shell '' ( or `` M shell '' ) , and so on farther and farther from the nucleus . The shells correspond with the principal quantum numbers ( n = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ... ) or are labeled alphabetically with letters used in the X-ray notation ( K , L , M , ... ) . Each shell can contain only a fixed number of electrons : The first shell can hold up to two electrons , the second shell can hold up to eight ( 2 + 6 ) electrons , the third shell can hold up to 18 ( 2 + 6 + 10 ) and so on . The general formula is that the nth shell can in principle hold up to 2 ( n ) electrons . Since electrons are electrically attracted to the nucleus , an atom 's electrons will generally occupy outer shells only if the more inner shells have already been completely filled by other electrons . However , this is not a strict requirement : atoms may have two or even three incomplete outer shells . ( See Madelung rule for more details . ) For an explanation of why electrons exist in these shells see electron configuration . The electrons in the outermost occupied shell ( or shells ) determine the chemical properties of the atom ; it is called the valence shell . Each shell consists of one or more subshells , and each subshell consists of one or more atomic orbitals . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Shells 3 Subshells 4 Number of electrons in each shell 5 Valence shell 6 List of elements with electrons per shell 7 See also 8 References History The shell terminology comes from Arnold Sommerfeld 's modification of the Bohr model . Sommerfeld retained Bohr 's planetary model , but added mildly elliptical orbits ( characterized by additional quantum numbers l and m ) to explain the fine spectroscopic structure of some elements . The multiple electrons with the same principal quantum number ( n ) had close orbits that formed a `` shell '' of positive thickness instead of the infinitely thin circular orbit of Bohr 's model . The existence of electron shells was first observed experimentally in Charles Barkla 's and Henry Moseley 's X-ray absorption studies . Barkla labeled them with the letters K , L , M , N , O , P , and Q. The origin of this terminology was alphabetic . A `` J '' series was also suspected , though later experiments indicated that the K absorption lines are produced by the innermost electrons . These letters were later found to correspond to the n values 1 , 2 , 3 , etc . They are used in the spectroscopic Siegbahn notation . The physical chemist Gilbert Lewis was responsible for much of the early development of the theory of the participation of valence shell electrons in chemical bonding . Linus Pauling later generalized and extended the theory while applying insights from quantum mechanics . Shells The electron shells are labeled K , L , M , N , O , P , and Q ; or 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , and 7 ; going from innermost shell outwards . Electrons in outer shells have higher average energy and travel farther from the nucleus than those in inner shells . This makes them more important in determining how the atom reacts chemically and behaves as a conductor , because the pull of the atom 's nucleus upon them is weaker and more easily broken . In this way , a given element 's reactivity is highly dependent upon its electronic configuration . Subshells Each shell is composed of one or more subshells , which are themselves composed of atomic orbitals . For example , the first ( K ) shell has one subshell , called 1s ; the second ( L ) shell has two subshells , called 2s and 2p ; the third shell has 3s , 3p , and 3d ; the fourth shell has 4s , 4p , 4d and 4f ; the fifth shell has 5s , 5p , 5d , and 5f and can theoretically hold more but the 5f subshell , although partially occupied in actinides , is not filled in any element occurring naturally . The various possible subshells are shown in the following table : Subshell label l Max electrons Shells containing it Historical name s 0 Every shell sharp p 6 2nd shell and higher principal d 10 3rd shell and higher diffuse f 14 4th shell and higher fundamental g 18 5th shell and higher ( theoretically ) ( next in alphabet after f ) The first column is the `` subshell label '' , a lowercase - letter label for the type of subshell . For example , the `` 4s subshell '' is a subshell of the fourth ( N ) shell , with the type ( s ) described in the first row . The second column is the azimuthal quantum number ( l ) of the subshell . The precise definition involves quantum mechanics , but it is a number that characterizes the subshell . The third column is the maximum number of electrons that can be put into a subshell of that type . For example , the top row says that each s - type subshell ( 1s , 2s , etc . ) can have at most two electrons in it . In each case the figure is 4 greater than the one above it . The fourth column says which shells have a subshell of that type . For example , looking at the top two rows , every shell has an s subshell , while only the second shell and higher have a p subshell ( i.e. , there is no `` 1p '' subshell ) . The final column gives the historical origin of the labels s , p , d , and f . They come from early studies of atomic spectral lines . The other labels , namely g , h and i , are an alphabetic continuation following the last historically originated label of f . Although it is commonly stated that all the electrons in a shell have the same energy , this is an approximation . However , the electrons in one subshell do have exactly the same level of energy , with later subshells having more energy per electron than earlier ones . This effect is great enough that the energy ranges associated with shells can overlap ( see valence shells and Aufbau principle ) . Number of electrons in each shell Shells and subshells. 1 rectangular triangle ( 1 / 2 of a cell ) = 1 electron on the level . Red color indicates sublevel s ; orange - p ; yellow - d ; green - f ; blue - g ; indigo - h ; violet - i Shell name Subshell name Subshell max electrons Shell max electrons 1s 2s 2 + 6 = 8 2p 6 3s 2 + 6 + 10 = 18 3p 6 3d 10 4s 2 + 6 + 10 + 14 = 32 4p 6 4d 10 4f 14 5s 2 + 6 + 10 + 14 + 18 = 50 5p 6 5d 10 5f 14 5g 18 Each subshell is constrained to hold 4l + 2 electrons at most , namely : Each s subshell holds at most 2 electrons Each p subshell holds at most 6 electrons Each d subshell holds at most 10 electrons Each f subshell holds at most 14 electrons Each g subshell holds at most 18 electrons Therefore , the K shell , which contains only an s subshell , can hold up to 2 electrons ; the L shell , which contains an s and a p , can hold up to 2 + 6 = 8 electrons , and so forth ; in general , the nth shell can hold up to 2n electrons . Although that formula gives the maximum in principle , in fact that maximum is only achieved ( by known elements ) for the first four shells ( K , L , M , N ) . No known element has more than 32 electrons in any one shell . This is because the subshells are filled according to the Aufbau principle . The first elements to have more than 32 electrons in one shell would belong to the g - block of period 8 of the periodic table . These elements would have some electrons in their 5g subshell and thus have more than 32 electrons in the O shell ( fifth principal shell ) . Valence shell See also : Valence electron The valence shell is the outermost shell of an atom . Valence electrons in non-transition metal elements reside in this shell . Such elements with complete valence shells ( noble gases ) are the most chemically non-reactive , while those with only one electron in their valence shells ( alkali metals ) or just missing one electron from having a complete shell ( halogens ) are the most reactive . However , this terminology is somewhat misleading in the case of transition metals . In these elements , a valence electron can also be in an inner shell . Thus , the electrons that determine how an atom reacts chemically are those that travel farthest from the nucleus , that is , those with the highest energy , and not necessarily in the valence shell . List of elements with electrons per shell The list below gives the elements arranged by increasing atomic number and shows the number of electrons per shell . At a glance , one can see that subsets of the list show obvious patterns . In particular , the seven elements ( in electric blue ) before a noble gas ( group 18 , in yellow ) higher than helium have the number of electrons in the valence shell in arithmetic progression . ( However , this pattern may break down in the seventh period due to relativistic effects . ) Sorting the table by chemical group shows additional patterns , especially with respect to the last two outermost shells . ( Elements 57 to 71 belong to the lanthanides , while 89 to 103 are the actinides . ) The list below is primarily consistent with the Aufbau principle . However , there are a number of exceptions to the rule ; for example palladium ( atomic number 46 ) has no electrons in the fifth shell , unlike other atoms with lower atomic number . Some entries in the table are uncertain , when experimental data is unavailable . ( For example , the elements past 108 have such short half - lives that their electron configurations have not yet been measured . ) Z Element No. of electrons / shell Group Hydrogen Helium 18 Lithium 2 , 1 Beryllium 2 , 2 5 Boron 2 , 3 13 6 Carbon 2 , 4 14 7 Nitrogen 2 , 5 15 8 Oxygen 2 , 6 16 9 Fluorine 2 , 7 17 10 Neon 2 , 8 18 11 Sodium 2 , 8 , 1 12 Magnesium 2 , 8 , 2 13 Aluminium 2 , 8 , 3 13 14 Silicon 2 , 8 , 4 14 15 Phosphorus 2 , 8 , 5 15 16 Sulfur 2 , 8 , 6 16 17 Chlorine 2 , 8 , 7 17 18 Argon 2 , 8 , 8 18 19 Potassium 2 , 8 , 8 , 1 20 Calcium 2 , 8 , 8 , 2 21 Scandium 2 , 8 , 9 , 2 22 Titanium 2 , 8 , 10 , 2 23 Vanadium 2 , 8 , 11 , 2 5 24 Chromium 2 , 8 , 13 , 1 6 25 Manganese 2 , 8 , 13 , 2 7 26 Iron 2 , 8 , 14 , 2 8 27 Cobalt 2 , 8 , 15 , 2 9 28 Nickel 2 , 8 , 16 , 2 10 29 Copper 2 , 8 , 18 , 1 11 30 Zinc 2 , 8 , 18 , 2 12 31 Gallium 2 , 8 , 18 , 3 13 32 Germanium 2 , 8 , 18 , 4 14 33 Arsenic 2 , 8 , 18 , 5 15 34 Selenium 2 , 8 , 18 , 6 16 35 Bromine 2 , 8 , 18 , 7 17 36 Krypton 2 , 8 , 18 , 8 18 37 Rubidium 2 , 8 , 18 , 8 , 1 38 Strontium 2 , 8 , 18 , 8 , 2 39 Yttrium 2 , 8 , 18 , 9 , 2 40 Zirconium 2 , 8 , 18 , 10 , 2 41 Niobium 2 , 8 , 18 , 12 , 1 5 42 Molybdenum 2 , 8 , 18 , 13 , 1 6 43 Technetium 2 , 8 , 18 , 13 , 2 7 44 Ruthenium 2 , 8 , 18 , 15 , 1 8 45 Rhodium 2 , 8 , 18 , 16 , 1 9 46 Palladium 2 , 8 , 18 , 18 10 47 Silver 2 , 8 , 18 , 18 , 1 11 48 Cadmium 2 , 8 , 18 , 18 , 2 12 49 Indium 2 , 8 , 18 , 18 , 3 13 50 Tin 2 , 8 , 18 , 18 , 4 14 51 Antimony 2 , 8 , 18 , 18 , 5 15 52 Tellurium 2 , 8 , 18 , 18 , 6 16 53 Iodine 2 , 8 , 18 , 18 , 7 17 54 Xenon 2 , 8 , 18 , 18 , 8 18 55 Caesium 2 , 8 , 18 , 18 , 8 , 1 56 Barium 2 , 8 , 18 , 18 , 8 , 2 57 Lanthanum 2 , 8 , 18 , 18 , 9 , 2 58 Cerium 2 , 8 , 18 , 19 , 9 , 2 59 Praseodymium 2 , 8 , 18 , 21 , 8 , 2 60 Neodymium 2 , 8 , 18 , 22 , 8 , 2 61 Promethium 2 , 8 , 18 , 23 , 8 , 2 62 Samarium 2 , 8 , 18 , 24 , 8 , 2 63 Europium 2 , 8 , 18 , 25 , 8 , 2 64 Gadolinium 2 , 8 , 18 , 25 , 9 , 2 65 Terbium 2 , 8 , 18 , 27 , 8 , 2 66 Dysprosium 2 , 8 , 18 , 28 , 8 , 2 67 Holmium 2 , 8 , 18 , 29 , 8 , 2 68 Erbium 2 , 8 , 18 , 30 , 8 , 2 69 Thulium 2 , 8 , 18 , 31 , 8 , 2 70 Ytterbium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 8 , 2 71 Lutetium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 9 , 2 72 Hafnium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 10 , 2 73 Tantalum 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 11 , 2 5 74 Tungsten 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 12 , 2 6 75 Rhenium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 13 , 2 7 76 Osmium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 14 , 2 8 77 Iridium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 15 , 2 9 78 Platinum 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 17 , 1 10 79 Gold 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 18 , 1 11 80 Mercury 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 18 , 2 12 81 Thallium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 18 , 3 13 82 Lead 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 18 , 4 14 83 Bismuth 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 18 , 5 15 84 Polonium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 18 , 6 16 85 Astatine 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 18 , 7 17 86 Radon 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 18 , 8 18 87 Francium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 18 , 8 , 1 88 Radium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 18 , 8 , 2 89 Actinium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 18 , 9 , 2 90 Thorium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 18 , 10 , 2 91 Protactinium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 20 , 9 , 2 92 Uranium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 21 , 9 , 2 93 Neptunium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 22 , 9 , 2 94 Plutonium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 24 , 8 , 2 95 Americium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 25 , 8 , 2 96 Curium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 25 , 9 , 2 97 Berkelium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 27 , 8 , 2 98 Californium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 28 , 8 , 2 99 Einsteinium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 29 , 8 , 2 100 Fermium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 30 , 8 , 2 101 Mendelevium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 31 , 8 , 2 102 Nobelium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 32 , 8 , 2 103 Lawrencium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 32 , 8 , 3 104 Rutherfordium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 32 , 10 , 2 105 Dubnium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 32 , 11 , 2 5 106 Seaborgium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 32 , 12 , 2 6 107 Bohrium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 32 , 13 , 2 7 108 Hassium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 32 , 14 , 2 8 109 Meitnerium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 32 , 15 , 2 ( ? ) 9 110 Darmstadtium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 32 , 16 , 2 ( ? ) 10 111 Roentgenium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 32 , 17 , 2 ( ? ) 11 112 Copernicium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 32 , 18 , 2 ( ? ) 12 113 Nihonium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 32 , 18 , 3 ( ? ) 13 114 Flerovium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 32 , 18 , 4 ( ? ) 14 115 Moscovium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 32 , 18 , 5 ( ? ) 15 116 Livermorium 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 32 , 18 , 6 ( ? ) 16 117 Tennessine 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 32 , 18 , 7 ( ? ) 17 118 Oganesson 2 , 8 , 18 , 32 , 32 , 18 , 8 ( ? ) 18 See also Wikimedia Commons has media related to Electron shell diagrams .

what is the maximum number of electrons in the first energy shell of an atom
[ "Each shell can contain only a fixed number of electrons: The first shell can hold up to two electrons, the second shell can hold up to eight (2 + 6) electrons, the third shell can hold up to 18 (2 + 6 + 10) and so on. The general formula is that the nth shell can in principle hold up to 2(n2) electrons.[1] Since electrons are electrically attracted to the nucleus, an atom's electrons will generally occupy outer shells only if the more inner shells have already been completely filled by other electrons. However, this is not a strict requirement: atoms may have two or even three incomplete outer shells. (See Madelung rule for more details.) For an explanation of why electrons exist in these shells see electron configuration.[2]" ]

You'll Never Walk Alone
You 'll Never Walk Alone - wikipedia You 'll Never Walk Alone For other uses , see You 'll Never Walk Alone ( disambiguation ) . `` You 'll Never Walk Alone '' Song Published 1945 Genre Show tune Composer ( s ) Richard Rodgers Lyricist ( s ) Oscar Hammerstein II `` You 'll Never Walk Alone '' is a show tune from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel . In the second act of the musical , Nettie Fowler , the cousin of the protagonist Julie Jordan , sings `` You 'll Never Walk Alone '' to comfort and encourage Julie when her husband , Billy Bigelow , the male lead , falls on his knife and dies after a failed robbery attempt . It is reprised in the final scene to encourage a graduation class of which Louise ( Billy and Julie 's daughter ) is a member . The now invisible Billy , who has been granted the chance to return to Earth for one day in order to redeem himself , watches the ceremony and is able to silently motivate the unhappy Louise to join in the song . The song is also sung at association football clubs around the world , where it is performed by a massed chorus of supporters on matchday ; this tradition began at Liverpool F.C. after the chart success of the 1963 single of the song by the local Liverpool group Gerry and the Pacemakers . Contents 1 Background 2 Subsequent history 3 Sporting anthem 4 Recorded versions 5 References 6 External links Background ( edit ) Christine Johnson , who created the role of Nettie Fowler , introduced the song in the original Broadway production . Later in the show Jan Clayton , as Julie Jordan , reprised it , with the chorus joining in . In the film , it is first sung by Claramae Turner as Nettie . The weeping Julie Jordan ( Shirley Jones ) tries to sing it but can not ; it is later reprised by Julie and those attending the graduation . Subsequent History ( edit ) Besides the recordings of the song on the Carousel cast albums and the film soundtrack , the song has been recorded by many artists , with notable hit versions made by Roy Hamilton , Frank Sinatra , Roy Orbison , Billy Eckstine , Gerry and the Pacemakers , Judy Garland , Elvis Presley , Johnny Cash , Andy Williams , Johnny Maestro and The Brooklyn Bridge , Olivia Newton - John and Doris Day . Progressive rock group Pink Floyd took a recording by the Liverpool Kop choir , and `` interpolated '' it into their own song , `` Fearless '' , on their 1971 album Meddle . From 1964 through 2010 , Jerry Lewis concluded the annual Jerry Lewis Labor Day MDA Telethon by singing the song . After the end of a concert by the rock band Queen , the audience spontaneously sang this song , according to lead guitarist Brian May , and this helped to inspire the creation of their songs `` We Are the Champions '' and `` We Will Rock You '' . Italian - American tenor Sergio Franchi sang a notable version accompanied by the Welsh Men 's Choir on the 9 June 1968 telecast of The Ed Sullivan Show . He also covered this song in his 1964 RCA Victor album The Exciting Voice of Sergio Franchi . American singer and songwriter Barbra Streisand sang this song in a surprise appearance at the close of the 2001 Emmy Awards , in honor of the victims of the 11 September 2001 attacks . In 1990 at the Nelson Mandela : An International Tribute for a Free South Africa concert at Wembley Stadium London , the audience spontaneously broke out into a mass rendition . Mandela turned to Adelaide Tambo who accompanied him onto the stage and asked what the song was . She replied , `` A football song '' . Renée Fleming sang the song at the Concert for America , which marked the first anniversary of 9 / 11 ( 11 / 9 ) , and for the Inauguration of Barack Obama on January 20 , 2009 . In 2010 , this was sung during the festivities of the Last Night of the Proms , with the choir at the Royal Albert Hall joined by crowds of the public from Hillsborough Castle , Northern Ireland ; Caird Hall , Dundee ; Hyde Park , London ; Salford , Greater Manchester ; and Wales , to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Oscar Hammerstein II . In the second season of American Horror Story , this song was recited as a poem . It has been the song of the Madison Scouts Drum and Bugle Corps song since 1954 , where they first performed it as a part of their first field show in 1954 . Challenged by the Rosemont Cavaliers singing `` Over the Rainbow '' in 1957 , the corps responded with `` You 'll Never Walk Alone '' , and it has been the official corps song ever since . Punk band Dropkick Murphys covered the song for their 2017 album 11 Short Stories of Pain & Glory . Vocalist / bassist Ken Casey said in a December 2016 interview discussing the reason behind their version . `` As you may know , opiate overdoses are an epidemic in America now particularly in ( the Boston ) area . I 've been to thirty wakes in two years , three this week , one being my cousin , Al 's lost a brother in law . It 's hit home close to us . I was leaving one of the wakes and this song came on and as I was listening to the lyrics it summed up exactly how I was feeling . Sad , but knowing there is hope . You never have to be alone . I hope you like our version '' . Sporting anthem ( edit ) `` You 'll Never Walk Alone '' Single by Gerry and the Pacemakers from the album How Do You Like It B - side `` It 's All Right '' Released October 1963 Format 7 '' Recorded 2 July 1963 Studio EMI Studios , London Genre Merseybeat , baroque pop Length 2 : 40 Label Columbia ( EMI ) ( UK ) , Laurie Records ( US ) Composer ( s ) Richard Rodgers Lyricist ( s ) Oscar Hammerstein II Producer ( s ) George Martin In the UK , the song 's most successful cover was released in 1963 by the Liverpudlian Merseybeat group Gerry and the Pacemakers , peaking at number one on the UK singles chart for four consecutive weeks . Sung by Liverpool fans in 1963 , the song quickly became the anthem of Liverpool F.C. and is sung by its supporters moments before the start of each home game with the Gerry and the Pacemakers version played over the public address system . According to former player Tommy Smith , lead vocalist Gerry Marsden presented Liverpool manager Bill Shankly with a recording of his forthcoming cover single during a pre-season coach trip in the summer of 1963 . `` Shanks was in awe of what he heard ... Football writers from the local newspapers were travelling with our party and , thirsty for a story of any kind between games , filed copy back to their editors to the effect that we had adopted Gerry Marsden 's forthcoming single as the club song . '' The squad was subsequently invited to perform the track with the band on The Ed Sullivan Show with Marsden stating , `` Bill came up to me . He said , ' Gerry my son , I have given you a football team and you have given us a song ' . '' The ' Shankly Gates ' entrance to Liverpool 's home stadium Anfield Shankly picked the song as his eighth and final selection for the BBC 's Desert Island Discs on the eve of the 1965 FA Cup Final . As Liverpool fans sang `` You 'll Never Walk Alone '' at Wembley during the 1965 FA Cup Final win over Leeds , commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme referred to it as `` Liverpool 's signature tune '' . Marsden told BBC Radio how , in the 1960s , the disc jockey at Anfield would play the top ten commercial records in descending order , with the number one single played last , shortly before kickoff . Liverpool fans on the Kop would sing along , but unlike with other hit singles , once `` You 'll Never Walk Alone '' dropped out of the top ten , instead of disregarding the song , supporters continued to sing it . The song was adopted by Scottish team Celtic after a 1966 Cup Winners Cup semi-final against Liverpool at Anfield . It is now sung by Celtic fans prior to every home European tie . The song has also been adopted by Dutch team Feyenoord , SC Cambuur , Germany 's Borussia Dortmund , 1 . FSV Mainz 05 , TSV 1860 Munich , Japan 's F.C. Tokyo , Spain 's CD Lugo . the Marist St. Pats MSP 80 / 80 Blues , and Bali United . In ice hockey , the song has been adopted by German Deutsche Eishockey Liga side Krefeld Pinguine and Croatian Medveščak Zagreb . A special recording of the song was made in solidarity with Bradford City following the Valley Parade fire in 1985 , when 56 spectators died and many more were seriously injured . The song was performed by The Crowd , which was a supergroup featuring Gerry Marsden , Paul McCartney and others , and spent two weeks at number one in the UK . Some years later , after witnessing a rendition of `` You 'll Never Walk Alone '' at Anfield in 2007 , the President of the Spanish Olympic Committee , Alejandro Blanco , said he felt inspired to seek lyrics to his country 's wordless national anthem , the Marcha Real , ahead of Madrid 's bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games . During the 2014 Hong Kong protests , legislator Tam Yiu Chung quoted the song during a Legislative Council of Hong Kong meeting , to salute the Hong Kong Police , who had received widespread criticism for using excessive force against pro-democracy protesters . More than 2,000 Liverpool Football Club fans in Hong Kong condemned his inappropriate use of the song , comparing his support of the police action to the police actions in the 1989 Hillsborough disaster , where South Yorkshire Police were found to have distorted facts relating to the unlawful killing by negligence of 96 Liverpool supporters . On 13 March 2016 , after Borussia Dortmund 's 2 - 0 win against 1 . FSV Mainz 05 in the German Bundesliga , supporters of both teams performed the song to commemorate a Dortmund fan who died from a cardiac arrest in the stands during the game .

Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation
Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation - wikipedia Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation Jump to : navigation , search `` REDD '' redirects here . For the UN initiative on REDD - readiness , see United Nations REDD Programme . For other uses , see Redd ( disambiguation ) . Countries participating in the UNREDD program and / or Forest Carbon Partnership Facility . UN-REDD participants Forest Carbon Partnership Facility participants participants in both Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and the role of conservation , sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries ( REDD+ ) was first negotiated under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ( UNFCCC ) in 2005 , with the objective of mitigating climate change through reducing net emissions of greenhouse gases through enhanced forest management in developing countries . Most of the key REDD+ decisions were completed by 2013 , with the final pieces of the rulebook finished in 2015 . In the last two decades , various studies estimate that land use change , including deforestation and forest degradation , accounts for 12 - 29 % of global greenhouse gas emissions . For this reason the inclusion of reducing emissions from land use change is considered essential to achieve the objectives of the UNFCCC . During the negotiations for the Kyoto Protocol , and then in particular its Clean Development Mechanism ( CDM ) , the inclusion of tropical forest management was debated but eventually dropped due to anticipated methodological difficulties in establishing -- in particular -- additionality and leakage ( detrimental effects outside of the project area attributable to project activities ) . What remained on forestry was `` Afforestation and Reforestation '' , sectoral scope 14 of the CDM . Under this sectoral scope areas of land that had no forest cover since 1990 could be replanted with commercial or indigenous tree species . In its first eight years of operation 52 projects had been registered under the `` Afforestation and Reforestation '' scope of the CDM . The cumbersome administrative procedures and corresponding high transaction costs are often blamed for this slow uptake . Beyond the CDM , all developed countries that were parties to the Kyoto Protocol also committed to measuring and reporting on efforts to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions from forests . The United States also measures and reports on the net greenhouse gas sequestration in its forests . In response to what many perceived to be a failure to address a major source of global greenhouse gas emissions , the Coalition for Rainforest Nations ( CfRN ) was established and in 2005 they proposed to the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC policy approaches and positive incentives for the reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases stemming from tropical deforestation and forest degradation as a climate change mitigation measure .

COP 11 entered the request to consider the document as agenda item 6 : Reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries : approaches to stimulate action . REDD+ ( edit ) Bali action Plan ( edit ) REDD received substantial attention from the UNFCCC -- and the attending community -- at COP 13 , December 2007 , where the first substantial decision on REDD+ was adopted , Decision 2 / CP. 13 : `` Reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries : approaches to stimulate action '' , calling for demonstration activities to be reported upon two years later and assessment of drivers of deforestation . Perhaps more interestingly , REDD+ was also referenced in decision 1 / CP. 13 , the `` Bali Action Plan '' , with reference to all five eligible activities for REDD+ ( with sustainable management of forests , conservation of forest carbon stocks and enhancement of forest carbon stocks constituting the `` + '' in REDD+ ) . The call for demonstration activities in decision 2 / CP. 13 led to a very large number of programmes and projects , including the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility ( FCPF ) of the World Bank , the UN-REDD Programme , and a flurry of smaller projects financed by the Norwegian International Climate and Forest Initiative ( NICFI ) , the United States , the United Kingdom , and Germany , among many others . All of these were based on substantive guidance from the UNFCCC . Definition of main elements ( edit ) In 2009 at COP 15 , decision 4 / CP. 15 : `` Methodological guidance for activities relating to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and the role of conservation , sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries '' provided more substantive information on requirements for REDD+ . Specifically , the national forest monitoring system was introduced , with elements of measurement , reporting and verification ( MRV ) . Furthermore , countries were encouraged to develop national strategies , develop domestic capacity , establish reference levels , and establish a participatory approach with `` full and effective engagement of indigenous peoples and local communities in ( ... ) monitoring and reporting '' . A year later at COP 16 decision 1 / CP. 16 was adopted . In section C : `` Policy approaches and positive incentives on issues relating to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries ; and the role of conservation , sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries '' environmental and social safeguards were introduced , with a reiteration of requirements for the national forest monitoring system . These safeguards were introduced to ensure that implementation of REDD+ at the national level would not lead to detrimental effects for the environment or the local population . Countries are required to provide summaries of information on how these safeguards are implemented throughout the three `` phases '' of REDD+ . In 2011 decision 12 / CP. 17 was adopted at COP 17 : `` Guidance on systems for providing information on how safeguards are addressed and respected and modalities relating to forest reference emission levels and forest reference levels as referred to in decision 1 / CP. 16 '' . Details are provided on preparation and submission of reference levels and guidance on providing information on safeguards . Warsaw Framework on REDD - plus ( edit ) In December 2013 , COP 19 produced no fewer than seven decisions on REDD+ , which are jointly known as the `` Warsaw Framework on REDD - plus '' . These decisions address a work programme on results - based finance ; coordination of support for implementation ; modalities for national forest monitoring systems ; presenting information on safeguards ; technical assessment of reference ( emission ) levels ; modalities for measuring , reporting and verifying ( MRV ) ; and information on addressing the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation . Requirements to be eligible access to `` results - based finance '' have been specified : through submission of reports for which the contents have been specified ; technical assessment through International Consultation and Analysis ( ICA ) for which procedures have been specified ; . With these decisions the overall framework for REDD+ implementation appears to be complete , although many details still need to be provided . COP 20 in December 2014 did not produce any new decisions on REDD+ . A reference was made to REDD+ in decision 8 / CP. 20 `` Report of the Green Climate Fund to the Conference of the Parties and guidance to the Green Climate Fund '' , where in paragraph 18 the COP `` requests the Board of the Green Climate Fund ( ... ) ( b ) to consider decisions relevant to REDD - plus '' , referring back to earlier COP decisions on REDD+ . Finally , the remaining outstanding decisions on REDD+ were completed at COP21 in 2015 . With the conclusion of decisions on reporting on the safeguards , non-market approaches , and non-carbon benefits , the UNFCCC rulebook on REDD+ was completed . All countries were also encouraged to implement and support REDD + in Article 5 of the Paris Agreement . This was part of a broader Article that specified that all countries should take action to protect and enhance their greenhouse gas sinks and reservoirs ( stores of sequestered carbon ) . Terminology ( edit ) The approach detailed under the UNFCCC is commonly referred to as `` reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation '' , abbreviated as REDD+ . This title and the acronyms , however , are not used by the COP itself . The original submission by Papua New Guinea and Costa Rica , on behalf of the Coalition for Rainforest Nations , dated 28 July 2005 , was entitled `` Reducing Emissions from Deforestation in Developing Countries : Approaches to Stimulate Action '' , exactly as is written here . COP 11 entered the request to consider the document as agenda item 6 : `` Reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries : approaches to stimulate action '' , again written here exactly as in the official text . The name for the agenda item was also used at COP 13 in Bali , December 2007 . By COP 15 in Copenhagen , December 2009 , the scope of the agenda item was broadened to `` Methodological guidance for activities relating to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and the role of conservation , sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries '' , moving to `` Policy approaches and positive incentives on issues relating to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries ; and the role of conservation , sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries '' by COP 16 . At COP 17 the title of the decision simply referred back to an earlier decision : `` Guidance on systems for providing information on how safeguards are addressed and respected and modalities relating to forest reference emission levels and forest reference levels as referred to in decision 1 / CP. 16 '' . At COP 19 the titles of decisions 9 and 12 refer back to decision 1 / CP. 16 , paragraph 70 and appendix I respectively , while the other decisions only mention the topic under consideration . None of these decisions use an acronym for the title of the agenda item or otherwise ; the ubiquitous acronym is thus not coined by the COP of the UNFCCC . Surprisingly therefore , the set of decisions on REDD+ that were adopted at COP 19 in Warsaw , December 2013 , were jointly christened the Warsaw Framework on REDD - plus in a footnote to the title of each of the decisions . All things considered , there should be no confusion on the formal name ( s ) : REDD originally referred to `` reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries '' the title of the original document on REDD It was superseded in the negotiations by REDD+ REDD+ ( or REDD - plus ) refers to `` reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries , and the role of conservation , sustainable management of forests , and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries '' ( emphasis added ) ; the most recent , elaborated terminology used by the COP However , the commonly used name outside of the UNFCCC seems to have stuck , perhaps not surprisingly seeing that the second title is quite unwieldy . Main elements of REDD+ ( edit ) As an approach under the multi-lateral climate change agreement , REDD+ is essentially a vehicle to encourage developing countries to reduce emissions and enhance removals of greenhouse gases through a variety of forest management options , and to provide technical and financial support for these efforts . As with other approaches under the UNFCCC , there are few prescriptions that specifically mandate how to implement the mechanism at national level ; the principles of national sovereignty and subsidiarity imply that the UNFCCC can only provide guidelines for implementation , and require that reports are submitted in a certain format and open for review by the Convention . There are certain aspects that go beyond this basic philosophy -- such as the so - called safeguards , explained in more detail below -- but in essence REDD+ is no more than a set of guidelines on how to report on forest resources and forest management strategies and their results in terms of reducing emissions and enhancing removals of greenhouse gases . However , a set of requirements has been elaborated to ensure that REDD+ programs contain key elements and that reports from Parties are consistent and comparable and that their content are open to review and in function of the objectives of the Convention . Decision 1 / CP 16 requests all developing countries aiming to undertake REDD+ to develop the following elements : ( a ) A national strategy or action plan ; ( b ) A national forest reference emission level and / or forest reference level or , if appropriate , as an interim measure , subnational forest reference emission levels and / or forest reference levels ( c ) A robust and transparent national forest monitoring system for the monitoring and reporting on REDD+ activities ( see below ) , with , if appropriate , subnational monitoring and reporting as an interim measure ( d ) A system for providing information on how the social and environmental safeguards ( included in an appendix to the decision ) are being addressed and respected throughout the implementation of REDD+ It further requests developing countries , when developing and implementing their national REDD+ strategies or action plans , to address , among other issues , the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation , land tenure issues , forest governance issues , gender considerations and the social and environmental safeguards , ensuring the full and effective participation of relevant stakeholders , inter alia indigenous peoples and local communities ; Policies and measures ( edit ) In the text of the Convention repeated reference is made to national `` policies and measures '' , the set of legal , regulatory and administrative instruments that Parties develop and implement to achieve the objective of the Convention . These policies can be specific to climate change mitigation or adaptation , or of a more generic nature but with an impact on greenhouse gas emissions . Many of the signatory parties to the UNFCCC have by now established climate change strategies and response measures . The REDD+ approach has a similar , more focused set of policies and measures . Forest sector laws and procedures are typically in place in most countries . In addition , countries have to develop specific national strategies and / or action plans for REDD+ . Of specific interest to REDD+ are the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation . The UNFCCC decisions call on countries to make an assessment of these drivers and to base the policies and measures on this assessment , such that the policies and measures can be directed to where the impact is greatest . Some of the drivers will be generic -- in the sense that they are prevalent in many countries , such as increasing population pressure -- while others will be very specific to countries or regions within countries . Countries are encouraged to identify `` national circumstances '' that impact the drivers : specific conditions within the country that impact the forest resources . Hints for typical national circumstances can be found in preambles to various COP decisions , such as `` Reaffirming that economic and social development and poverty eradication are global priorities '' in the Bali Action Plan , enabling developing countries to prioritize policies like poverty eradication through agricultural expansion or hydropower development over forest protection . Eligible activities ( edit ) The decisions on REDD+ enumerate five `` eligible activities '' that developing countries may implement to reduce emissions and enhance removals of greenhouse gases : `` ( a ) Reducing emissions from deforestation . ( b ) Reducing emissions from forest degradation . ( c ) Conservation of forest carbon stocks . ( d ) Sustainable management of forests . ( e ) Enhancement of forest carbon stocks `` . The first two activities reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and they are the two activities listed in the original submission on REDD+ in 2005 by the Coalition for Rainforest Nations . The three remaining activities constitute the `` + '' in REDD+ . The last one enhances removals of greenhouse gases , while the effect of the other two on emissions or removals is indeterminate but expected to be minimal . The UNFCCC provides no guidance on what specific actions constitute the eligible activities . Possibly an approach will be adopted as under the CDM : project proponents -- in this case Parties to the Convention -- can submit documentation on an approach which will be reviewed by a technical committee of the UNFCCC . Upon approval this `` approved methodology '' will be publicly available to all for its application . Reference levels ( edit ) Reference levels are a key component for any national REDD+ program and critical in at least two aspects . Firstly , they serve as a baseline for measuring the success of REDD+ programs in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from forests . Second , they are available for examination by the international community to assess the reported emission reductions or enhanced removals . In that sense it establishes the confidence of the international community in the national REDD+ program . The results measured against these baselines may be eligible for results - based payments . Setting the reference levels too lax will erode the confidence in the national REDD+ program , while setting them too strict will erode the potential to earn the benefits with which to operate the national REDD+ program . Very careful consideration of all relevant information is therefore of crucial importance . The requirements and characteristics of reference levels are under the purview of the UNFCCC . Given the wide variety in ecological conditions and country - specific circumstances , these requirements are rather global and every country will have a range of options in its definition of reference levels within its territory . A reference level ( RL ) is expressed as an amount , derived by differencing a sequence of amounts over a period of time . For REDD+ purposes the amount is expressed in CO-equivalents ( CO e ) ( see article on global warming potential ) of emissions or removals per year . If the amounts are emissions , the reference level becomes a reference emission level ( REL ) ; however these RELs are seen by some as incomplete as they do not take into account removals . Reference levels are based on a scope ‒ what is included ? ‒ a scale ‒ the geographical area from which it is derived or to which it is applied ‒ and a period over which the reference level is calculated . The scope , the scale and the period can be modified in reference to national circumstances : specific conditions in the country that would call for an adjustment of the basis from which the reference levels are constructed . A reference level can be based on observations or measurements of amounts in the past , in which case it is retrospective , or it can be an expectation or projection of amounts into the future , in which case it is prospective . Reference levels have to eventually have national coverage , but they may be composed from a number of sub-national reference levels . As an example , forest degradation may have a reference emission level for commercial selective logging and one for extraction of minor timber and firewood for subsistence use by rural communities . Effectively , every identified driver of deforestation or forest degradation has to be represented in one or more reference emission level ( s ) . Similarly for reference levels for enhancement of carbon stocks , there may be a reference level for plantation timber species and one for natural regeneration , possibly stratified by ecological region or forest type . Details on the reporting and technical assessment of reference levels is given in Decision 13 / CP. 19 . Monitoring : measurement , reporting and verification ( edit ) In Decision 2 / CP. 15 of the UNFCCC countries are requested to develop national forest monitoring systems ( NFMS ) that support the functions of measurement , reporting and verification ( MRV ) of actions and achievements of the implementation of REDD+ activities . NFMS is the key component in the management of information for national REDD+ programs . A fully functional monitoring system can go beyond the requirements posted by the UNFCCC to include issues such as a registry of projects and participants , and evaluation of program achievements and policy effectiveness . It may be purpose - built , but it may also be integrated into existing forest monitoring tools . Measurements are suggested to be made using a combination of remote sensing and ground - based observations . Remote sensing is particularly suited to the assessment of areas of forest and stratification of different forest types . Ground - based observations involve forest surveys to measure the carbon pools used by the IPCC , as well as other parameters of interest such as those related to safeguards and eligible activity implementation . The reporting has to follow the guidance of the IPCC , in particular the `` Good Practice Guidance for Land Use , Land - Use Change and Forestry '' , which includes reporting templates to be included in National Communications of Parties to the UNFCCC . Included in the guidance are standard measurements protocols and analysis procedures which greatly impact the measurement systems that countries need to establish . The actual reporting of REDD+ results is not going through the National Communications , however , but through the Biennial Update Reports ( BURs ) . The technical assessment of these results is an independent , external process that is managed by the Secretariat to the UNFCCC ; countries need to facilitate the requirements of this assessment . The technical assessment is included within the broader process of International Consultation and Analysis ( ICA ) , which is effectively a peer - review by a team composed of an expert from an Annex I Party and an expert from a non-Annex I Party which `` will be conducted in a manner that is nonintrusive , non-punitive and respectful of national sovereignty '' . This `` technical team of experts shall analyse the extent to which : ( a ) There is consistency in methodologies , definitions , comprehensiveness and the information provided between the assessed reference level and the results of the implementation of the ( REDD+ ) activities ( ... ) ; ( b ) The data and information provided in the technical annex is transparent , consistent , complete and accurate ; ( c ) The data and information provided in the technical annex is consistent with the ( UNFCCC ) guidelines ( ... ) ; ( d ) The results are accurate , to the extent possible . '' However , unlike a true verification the technical assessment can not `` approve '' or `` reject '' the reference level , or the reported results measured against this reference level . It does provide clarity on potential areas for improvement . Financing entities that seek to provide results - based payments ( payments per tonne of mitigation achieved ) typically seek a true verification of results by external experts , to provide assurance that the results for which they are paying are credible . Safeguards ( edit ) In response to concerns over the potential for negative consequences resulting from the implementation of REDD+ the UNFCCC established a list of safeguards that countries need to `` address and respect '' and `` promote and support '' in order to guarantee the correct and lasting generation of results from the REDD+ mechanism . These safeguards are : `` ( a ) That actions complement or are consistent with the objectives of national forest programmes and relevant international conventions and agreements ; ( b ) Transparent and effective national forest governance structures , taking into account national legislation and sovereignty ; ( c ) Respect for the knowledge and rights of indigenous peoples and members of local communities , by taking into account relevant international obligations , national circumstances and laws , and noting that the United Nations General Assembly has adopted the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples ; ( d ) The full and effective participation of relevant stakeholders , in particular indigenous peoples and local communities ; ( e ) That actions are consistent with the conservation of natural forests and biological diversity , ensuring that the actions are not used for the conversion of natural forests , but are instead used to incentivize the protection and conservation of natural forests and their ecosystem services , and to enhance other social and environmental benefits ; ( f ) Actions to address the risks of reversals ; ( g ) Actions to reduce displacement of emissions `` . Countries have to regularly provide a summary of information on how these safeguards are addressed and respected . This could come in the form , for instance , of explaining the legal and regulatory environment with regards to the recognition , inclusion and engagement of Indigenous Peoples , and information on how these requirements have been implemented . Decision 12 / CP. 19 established that the `` summary of information '' on the safeguards will be provided in the National Communications to the UNFCCC , which for developing country Parties will be once every four years . Additionally , and on a voluntary basis , the summary of information may be posted on the UNFCCC REDD+ web platform . Additional issues ( edit ) The REDD+ mechanism is currently still under discussion by the UNFCCC . All pertinent issues that comprise REDD+ are exclusively those that are included in the decisions of the COP , as indicated in the above sections . There is , however , a large variety of concepts and approaches that are labelled ( as being part of ) REDD+ by their proponents , either being a substitute for UNFCCC decisions or complementary to those decisions . Below follows a -- no doubt incomplete -- list of such concepts and approaches . Project - based REDD+ , voluntary market REDD+ . As the concept of REDD+ was being defined , many organizations began to promote REDD+ projects at the scale of a forest area ( e.g. large concession , National Park ) , analogous to AR - CDM projects under the Kyoto Protocol , with reduction of emissions or enhancement of removals vetted by an external organization using a standard established by some party ( e.g. CCBA , VCS ) and with carbon credits traded on the international voluntary carbon market . However , under the UNFCCC REDD+ is defined as national ( Decisions 4 / CP. 15 and 1 / CP. 16 consistently refer to national strategies and action plans and national monitoring , with sub-national coverage allowed as an interim measure only ) . Benefit distribution . The UNFCCC decisions on REDD+ are silent on the issue of rewarding countries and participants for their verified net emission reductions or enhanced removals of greenhouse gases . It is not very likely that specific requirements for sub-national implementation of the distribution of benefits will be adopted , as this will be perceived to be an issue of national sovereignty . Generic guidance may be provided , using language similar to that of the safeguards , such as `` result - based finance has to accrue to local stakeholders '' without being specific on percentages retention for management , identification of stakeholders , type of benefit or means of distribution . Countries may decide to channel any benefits through an existing program on rural development , for instance , provide additional services ( e.g. extension , better market access , training , seedlings ) or pay local stakeholders directly . Many financial entities do have specific requirement on the design of a system to use funds received , and reporting on the use of these funds . FPIC . Free , prior and informed consent is included in the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples . The REDD+ decisions under the UNFCCC do not have this as an explicit requirement ; however , although the safeguard on respect for the knowledge and rights of indigenous peoples and members of local communities notes `` that the United Nations General Assembly has adopted the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples '' ( UNDRIP ) . Article 19 of UNDRIP requires that `` States shall consult and cooperate in good faith with the indigenous peoples concerned through their own representative institutions in order to obtain their free , prior and informed consent before adopting and implementing legislative or administrative measures that may affect them '' . This article is interpreted by many organizations engaged in REDD+ , for example in the UN-REDD `` Guidelines on Free , Prior and Informed Consent , '' to mean that every , or at least many , communities need to provide their consent before any REDD+ activities can take place . Leakage . Leakage is a term that is often used in project - based REDD+ . The term originates from Afforestation / Reforestation projects under the CDM of the Kyoto Protocol where it is assessed to quantify effects of the project outside of the project area . Leakage is less of an issue when REDD+ is implemented at a national or subnational level , as there can be no domestic leakage once full national coverage is achieved . However , there can still be international leakage if activities are displaced across international borders , or `` displacement of emissions '' between sectors , such as replacing wood fires with kerosene stoves ( AFOLU to energy ) or construction with wood for construction with concrete , cement and bricks ( AFOLU to industry ) . Many initiatives require leakage be taken into account in program design , so that potential leakage of emissions , including across borders , can be minimized . REDD+ as a climate change mitigation measure ( edit ) Deforestation and forest degradation account for 17 - 29 % of global greenhouse gas emissions , the reduction of which is estimated to be one of the most cost - efficient climate change mitigation strategies . Regeneration of forest on degraded or deforested lands can remove CO2 from the atmosphere through the build - up of biomass , making forest lands a sink of greenhouse gases . The REDD+ mechanism addresses both issues of emission reduction and enhanced removal of greenhouse gases . Reducing emissions ( edit ) Emissions of greenhouse gases from forest land can be reduced by slowing down the rates of deforestation and forest degradation , obviously covered by the first two of the REDD+ eligible activities . Another option would be some form of reduced impact logging in commercial logging , under the REDD+ eligible activity of sustainable management of forests . Enhancing removals ( edit ) Removals of greenhouse gases ( specifically CO2 ) from the atmosphere can be achieved through various forest management options , such as replanting degraded or deforested areas or enrichment planting , but also by letting forest land regenerate naturally . Care must be taken to differentiate between what is a purely ecological process of regrowth and what is induced or enhanced through some management intervention . REDD+ and the carbon market ( edit ) In 2009 , at COP - 15 in Copenhagen , the Copenhagen Accord was reached , noting in section 6 the recognition of the crucial role of REDD and REDD+ and the need to provide positive incentives for such actions by enabling the mobilization of financial resources from developed countries . The Accord goes on to note in section 8 that the collective commitment by developed countries for new and additional resources , including forestry and investments through international institutions , will approach USD 30 billion for the period 2010 - 2012 . The Green Climate Fund ( GCF ) was established at COP - 17 to function as the financial mechanism for the UNFCCC , so including for REDD+ finance . The Warsaw Framework on REDD - plus makes various references to the GCF , instructing developing country Parties to apply to the GCF for result - based finance . The GCF currently finances REDD+ programs in phase 1 ( design of national strategies or action plans , capacity building ) and phase 2 ( implementation of national strategies or action plans , demonstration programs ) . It is currently finalizing an approach to REDD+ results - based payments . REDD+ is also eligible for inclusion under CORSIA , the International Civil Aviation Organization 's market - based greenhouse gas offset mechanism < http://www.icao.int/environmental-protection/Pages/market-based-measures.aspx > . Implementing REDD+ ( edit ) Decision 1 / CP. 16 , paragraph 73 , suggests that national capacity for implementing REDD+ is built up in phases , `` beginning with the development of national strategies or action plans , policies and measures , and capacity - building , followed by the implementation of national policies and measures and national strategies or action plans that could involve further capacity - building , technology development and transfer and results - based demonstration activities , and evolving into results - based actions that should be fully measured , reported and verified '' . The initial phase of the development of national strategies and action plans and capacity building is typically referred to as the `` Readiness phase '' ( a term like Reddiness is also encountered ) . There is a very substantial number of REDD+ projects globally and this section lists only a selection . One of the more comprehensive online tools with up - to - date information on REDD+ projects is the Voluntary REDD+ Database . Readiness activities ( edit ) Most REDD+ activities or projects implemented since the call for demonstration activities in Decision 2 / CP. 13 December 2007 are focused on readiness , which is not surprising given that REDD+ and its requirements were completely new to all developing countries . UN-REDD Programme UNDP , UNEP and FAO jointly established the UN-REDD Programme in 2007 , a partnership aimed at assisting developing countries in addressing certain measures needed in order to effectively participate in the REDD+ mechanism . These measures include capacity development , governance , engagement of Indigenous Peoples and technical needs . The initial set of supported countries were Bolivia , Democratic Republic of Congo , Indonesia , Panama , Papua New Guinea , Paraguay , Tanzania , Vietnam , and Zambia . By March 2014 the Programme counted 49 participants , 18 of which are receiving financial support to kick start or complement a variety of national REDD+ readiness activities . The other 31 partner countries may receive targeted support and knowledge sharing , be invited to attend meetings and training workshops , have observer status at the Policy Board meetings , and `` may be invited to submit a request to receive funding for a National Programme in the future , if selected through a set of criteria to prioritize funding for new countries approved by the Policy Board '' . The Programme operates in six work areas : MRV and Monitoring ( led by FAO ) National REDD+ Governance ( UNDP ) Engagement of Indigenous Peoples , Local Communities and Other Relevant Stakeholders ( UNDP ) Ensuring multiple benefits of forests and REDD+ ( UNEP ) Transparent , Equitable and Accountable Management of REDD+ Payments ( UNDP ) REDD+ as a Catalyst for Transformations to a Green Economy ( UNEP ) Forest Carbon Partnership Facility The World Bank plays an important role in the development of REDD+ activities since its inception . The Forest Carbon Partnership Facility ( FCPF ) was presented to the international community at COP - 13 in Bali , December 2007 . Recipient countries can apply $3.6 million towards : the development of national strategies ; stakeholder consultation ; capacity building ; development of reference levels ; development of a national forest monitoring system ; and social and environmental safeguards analysis . Those countries that successfully achieve a state of readiness can apply to the related Carbon Fund , for support towards national implementation of REDD+ . Norwegian International Climate and Forest Initiative At the 2007 Bali Conference , the Norwegian government announced their International Climate and Forests Initiative ( NICFI ) , which provided US $1 billion towards the Brazilian REDD scheme and US $500 million towards the creation and implementation of national - based , REDD+ activities in Tanzania . In addition , with the United Kingdom , $200 million was contributed towards the Congo Basin Forest Fund to aid forest conservation activities in Central Africa . In 2010 , Norway signed a Letter of Intent with Indonesia to provide the latter country with up to US $1 billion `` assuming that Indonesia achieves good results '' . `` United States '' The United States has provided more than $1.5 billion in support for REDD+ and other sustainable landscape activities since 2010 . It supports several multilateral partnerships including the FCPF , as well as flagship global programs such as SilvaCarbon , which provides support to REDD+ countries in measuring and monitoring forests and forest - related emissions . The United States also provides significant regional and bilateral support to numerous countries implementing REDD+ . ITTO The International Tropical Timber Organization ( ITTO ) has launched a thematic program on REDD+ and environmental services with an initial funding of US $3.5 million from Norway . In addition , the 45th session of the ITTO Council held in November 2009 , recommended that efforts relating REDD+ should focus on promoting `` sustainable forest management '' . Finland In 2009 , the Government of Finland and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations signed a US $17 million partnership agreement to provide tools and methods for multi-purpose forest inventories , REDD+ monitoring and climate change adaptation in five pilot countries : Ecuador , Peru , Tanzania , Viet Nam and Zambia . As part of this programme , the Government of Tanzania will soon complete the country 's first comprehensive forest inventory to assess its forest resources including the size of the carbon stock stored within its forests . A forest soil carbon monitoring program to estimate soil carbon stock , using both survey and modelling - based methods , has also been undertaken . Australia Australia established a A $200 million International Forest Carbon Initiative , focused on developing REDD+ activities in its vicinity , i.e. , in areas like Indonesia , and Papua New Guinea . Interim REDD+ Partnership In 2010 , national governments of developing and developed countries joined efforts to create the Interim REDD+ Partnership as means to enhance implementation of early action and foster fast start finance for REDD+ actions . Implementation phase ( edit ) Some countries are already implementing aspects of a national forest monitoring system and activities aimed at reducing emissions and enhancing removals that go beyond REDD+ readiness . For example , the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility has 19 countries in the pipeline of the Carbon Fund , which will provide payments to these countries based on verified REDD+ emissions reductions achieved under national or subnational programs . The first countries will begin to negotiate contracts for these payments , and begin implementation of their programs , in 2017 . Results - based actions ( edit ) Following the Warsaw Framework on REDD - plus , the first country had submitted a Biennial Update Report with a Technical Annex containing the details on emission reductions from REDD+ eligible activities . Brazil submitted its first Biennial Update Report on 31 December 2014 . The Technical Annex covers the Amazon biome within Brazil 's territory , a little under half of the national territory , reporting emission reductions against Brazil 's previously submitted reference emission level of 2,971.02 MtCO e from a reduction in deforestation . This Technical Annex was reviewed through the International Consultation and Analysis process and on 22 September 2015 a technical report was issued by the UNFCCC which states that `` the LULUCF experts consider that the data and information provided in the technical annex are transparent , consistent , complete and accurate '' ( paragraph 38 ) . Considering that Brazil is only reporting on emission reductions from deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon , the technical review identified several areas of improvement ( paragraph 34 ) : ( a ) Continuation in updating and improving the carbon density map , including through the use of improved ground data from Brazil 's first national forest inventory , possibly prioritizing geographic areas where deforestation is more likely to occur ; ( b ) Expansion of the coverage of carbon pools , including improving the understanding of soil carbon dynamics after the conversion of forests to non-forests ; ( c ) Consideration of the treatment of non-CO2 gases to maintain consistency with the GHG inventory ; ( d ) Continuation of the improvements related to monitoring of forest degradation ; ( e ) Expansion of the forest monitoring system to cover additional biomes . Several additional countries have followed closely behind Brazil . Concerns ( edit ) Since the first discussion on REDD+ in 2005 and particularly at COP - 13 in 2007 and COP - 15 in 2009 , many concerns have been voiced on various aspects of REDD+ . The COP has responded by establishing the safeguards for REDD+ , although these are sometimes criticized for being too generic , non-enforceable and summary rather than a specific set of requirements for participation in the REDD+ mechanism . Prior to full - scale implementation many challenges are still to be solved . How will the REDD+ approach link to existing national development strategies ? How will forest communities and indigenous peoples participate in the design , implementation , monitoring and evaluation of national REDD+ programmes ? How will REDD+ be funded , and how will countries ensure that benefits are distributed equitably among all those who manage the forests ? Finally , how will the amounts of reduced emissions and enhanced removals as a result of REDD+ activities be monitored ? Natural forests vs. high - density plantations ( edit ) Safeguard ( e ) : That actions are consistent with the conservation of natural forests and biological diversity , ensuring that the ( REDD+ ) actions ( ... ) are not used for the conversion of natural forests , but are instead used to incentivize the protection and conservation of natural forests and their ecosystem services , and to enhance other social and environmental benefits . Footnote to this safeguard : Taking into account the need for sustainable livelihoods of indigenous peoples and local communities and their interdependence on forests in most countries , reflected in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples , as well as the International Mother Earth Day . The UNFCCC does not define what constitutes a forest ; it only requires that Parties communicate to the UNFCCC on how they define a forest . The UNFCCC does suggest using a definition in terms of minimal area , minimal crown coverage and minimal height at maturity of perennial vegetation . While there is a safeguard against the conversion of natural forest , developing country Parties are free to include plantations of commercial tree species ( including exotics like Eucalyptus spp. , Pinus spp. , Acacia spp . ) , agricultural tree crops ( e.g. rubber , mango , cocoa , citrus ) , or even non-tree species such as palms ( oil palm , coconut , dates ) and bamboo ( a grass ) . Some opponents of REDD+ argue that this lack of a clear distinction is no accident . Defining a forest simply in terms of tree cover - rather than complex ecosystems and the livelihoods of peoples interacting with them -- has long been used as a cover for the expansion of industrial - scale plantations . The most plausible explanation , arguably , is that commercial interests take precedence over environmental and social objectives in the shaping of REDD+ policy . Similarly , there is no consensus on a definition for forest degradation . The IPCC has come up with a number of suggestions , again leaving countries the option to select that definition which is most convenient . A national REDD+ strategy need not refer solely to the establishment of national parks or protected areas ; by the careful design of rules and guidelines , REDD+ could include land use practices such as shifting cultivation by indigenous communities and reduced - impact - logging , provided sustainable rotation and harvesting cycles can be demonstrated . Some argue that this is opening the door to logging operations in primary forests , displacement of local populations for `` conservation '' , increase of tree plantations . Achieving multiple benefits , for example the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services ( such as drainage basins ) , and social benefits ( for example income and improved forest governance ) is currently not addressed , beyond the inclusion in the safeguard . Land tenure , carbon rights and benefit distribution ( edit ) According to some critics , REDD+ is another extension of green capitalism , subjecting the forests and its inhabitants to new ways of expropriation and enclosure at the hands of polluting companies and market speculators . So - called `` carbon cowboys '' - unscrupulous entrepreneurs who attempt to acquire rights to carbon in rainforest for small - scale projects - have signed on indigenous communities to unfair contracts , often with a view to on - selling the rights to investors for a quick profit . In 2012 an Australian businessman operating in Peru was revealed to have signed 200 - year contracts with an Amazon tribe , the Yagua , many members of which are illiterate , giving him a 50 per cent share in their carbon resources . The contracts allow him to establish and control timber projects and palm oil plantations in Yagua rainforest . This risk is largely negated by the focus on national and subnational REDD+ programs , and by government ownership of these initiatives . There are risks that the local inhabitants and the communities that live in the forests will be bypassed and that they wo n't be consulted and so they wo n't actually receive any revenues . Fair distribution of REDD+ benefits will not be achieved without a prior reform in forest governance and more secure tenure systems in many countries . So how can the benefits from REDD+ be distributed to forest communities in a just , equitable way that minimizes capture of the benefits by national governments or local elites ? The UNFCCC has repeatedly called for full and effective participation of Indigenous Peoples and local communities without becoming any more specific . The ability of local communities to effectively contribute to REDD+ field activities and the measurement of forest properties for estimating reduced emissions and enhanced emissions of greenhouse gases has been clearly demonstrated in various countries . In project - based REDD+ , some projects are unaccountable and dodgy companies have taken advantage of the low governance . Indigenous Peoples ( edit ) Safeguard ( c ) : Respect for the knowledge and rights of indigenous peoples and members of local communities , by taking into account relevant international obligations , national circumstances and laws , and noting that the United Nations General Assembly has adopted the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples ; Safeguard ( d ) : The full and effective participation of relevant stakeholders , in particular indigenous peoples and local communities , in the ( REDD+ ) actions ( ... ) ( and when developing and implementing national strategies or action plans ) ; Indigenous peoples are important stakeholders in REDD+ as they typically live inside forest areas or have their livelihoods ( partially ) based on exploitation of forest resources . The International Indigenous Peoples Forum on Climate Change ( IIPFCC ) was explicit at the Bali climate negotiations in 2007 : REDD / REDD+ will not benefit Indigenous Peoples , but in fact will result in more violations of Indigenous Peoples ' rights . It will increase the violation of our human rights , our rights to our lands , territories and resources , steal our land , cause forced evictions , prevent access and threaten indigenous agricultural practices , destroy biodiversity and cultural diversity and cause social conflicts . Under REDD / REDD+ , states and carbon traders will take more control over our forests . Some claim putting a commercial value on forests neglects the spiritual value they hold for Indigenous Peoples and local communities . Indigenous Peoples protested in 2008 against the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues final report on climate change and a paragraph that endorsed REDD+ ; this was captured in a video entitled `` the 2nd May Revolt '' . However , these protests have largely disappeared in recent years . Indigenous people sit as permanent representatives on many multinational and national REDD+ bodies , though there is always room for improvement . Indigenous Peoples ' groups in Panama broke off their collaboration with the national UN-REDD Programme in 2012 over allegations of a failure of the government to properly respect the rights of the indigenous groups . Some grassroots organizations are working to develop REDD+ activities with communities and developing benefit - sharing mechanisms to ensure REDD+ funds reach rural communities as well as governments . Examples of these include Plan Vivo projects in Mexico , Mozambique and Cameroon ; and Carbonfund.org Foundation 's VCS abd CCBS projects in the state of Acre , Brazil . REDD+ in the carbon market ( edit ) When REDD+ was first discussed by the UNFCCC , no indication was given of the positive incentives that would support developing countries in their efforts to implement REDD+ to reduce emissions and enhance removals of greenhouse gases from forests . In the absence of guidance from the COP , two options were debated by the international community at large : a market - based approach ; a fund - based approach where Annex I countries would deposit substantial amounts of money into a fund administered by some multi-lateral entity . Under the market - based approach , REDD+ would act as an `` offset scheme '' in which verified results - based actions translate into some form of carbon credits , more - or-less analogous to the market for Certified Emission Reductions ( CER ) under the CDM of the Kyoto Protocol . Such carbon credits could then offset emissions in the country or company of the buyer of the carbon credits . This would require Annex I countries to agree to deeper cuts in emissions of greenhouse gases in order to create a market for the carbon credits from REDD+ , which is unlikely to happen soon given the current state of negotiations in the COP , but even then there is the fear that the market will be flooded with carbon credits , depressing the price to levels where REDD+ is no longer an economically viable option . Some developing countries , such as Brazil and China , maintain that developed countries must commit to real emissions reductions , independent of any offset mechanism . Since COP - 17 , however , it has become clear that the REDD+ may be financed by a variety of sources , market and non-market . The newly established Green Climate Fund already is supporting phase 1 and 2 REDD+ programs , and is finalizing rules to allow disbursement of result - based finance to developing countries that submit verified reports of emission reductions and enhanced removals of greenhouse gases . Top - down design by large International institutions vs. bottom - up grassroots coalitions ( edit ) While the COP decisions emphasize national ownership and stakeholder consultation , there are concerns that some of the larger institutional organizations are driving the process , in particular outside of the one Party , one vote realm of multi-lateral negotiations under the UNFCCC . For example , the World Bank and the UN-REDD Programme , the two largest sources of funding and technical assistance for readiness activities and therefore unavoidable for most developing countries , place requirements upon recipient countries that are arguably not mandated or required by the COP decisions . A body of research suggests that , at least as of 2016 , REDD+ as a global architecture has only had a limited effect on local political realities , as pre-existing entrenched power dynamics and incentives that promote deforestation are not easily changed by the relatively small sums of money that REDD+ has delivered to date . In addition , issues like land tenure that fundamentally determine who makes decisions about land use and deforestation have not been adequately addressed by REDD+ , and there is no clear consensus on how complex political issues like land tenure can be easily resolved to favor standing forests over cleared forests through a relatively top - down mechanism like REDD+ . While a single , harmonized , global system that accounts for and rewards emissions reductions from forests and land use has been elusive , diverse context - specific projects have emerged that support a variety of activities including community - based forest management , enforcement of protected areas , sustainable charcoal production , and agroforestry . Although it is not clear whether these diverse projects are genuinely different from older integrated conservation and development initiatives that pre-date REDD+ , there is evidence that REDD+ has altered global policy conversations , possibly elevating issues like indigenous peoples ' land rights to higher levels , or conversely threatening to bypass safeguards for indigenous rights . Debate surrounding these issues is ongoing . Although the World Bank declares its commitment to fight against climate change , many civil society organisations and grassroots movements around the world view with scepticism the processes being developed under the various carbon funds . Among some of the most worrying reasons are the weak ( or inexistent ) consultation processes with local communities ; the lack of criteria to determine when a country is ready to implement REDD+ projects ( readiness ) ; the negative impacts such as deforestation and loss of biodiversity ( due to fast agreements and lack of planning ) ; the lack of safeguards to protect Indigenous Peoples ' rights ; and the lack of regional policies to stop deforestation . A growing coalition of civil society organization , social movement , and other actors critical of REDD+ emerged between 2008 and 2011 , criticizing the mechanism on climate justice grounds . During the UN climate negotiations in Copenhagen ( 2009 ) and Cancun ( 2010 ) strong civil society and social movements coalitions formed a strong front to fight the World Bank out of the climate . However , this concern has largely died down as the World Bank initiatives have been more full developed , and some of these same actors are now participating in implementation of REDD+ . ITTO has been criticized for appearing to support above all the inclusion of forest extraction inside REDD+ under the guise of `` sustainable management '' in order to benefit from carbon markets while maintaining business - as - usual .

who has started reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation
[ "Following the Warsaw Framework on REDD-plus, the first country had submitted a Biennial Update Report with a Technical Annex containing the details on emission reductions from REDD+ eligible activities. Brazil submitted its first Biennial Update Report on 31 December 2014.[35] The Technical Annex covers the Amazon biome within Brazil's territory, a little under half of the national territory, reporting emission reductions against Brazil's previously submitted reference emission level of 2,971.02 MtCO2e from a reduction in deforestation. This Technical Annex was reviewed through the International Consultation and Analysis process and on 22 September 2015 a technical report was issued by the UNFCCC which states that \"the LULUCF experts consider that the data and information provided in the technical annex are transparent, consistent, complete and accurate\" (paragraph 38).[36] Considering that Brazil is only reporting on emission reductions from deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon, the technical review identified several areas of improvement (paragraph 34):" ]

Humphrey Building , United States Department of Health and Human Services ( HHS ) , Washington , D.C. Appointer The President with United States Senate advice and consent Term length 4 years Formation March 29 , 1871 First holder John M. Woodworth ( as Supervising Surgeon ) Website www.SurgeonGeneral.gov The Surgeon General of the United States is the operational head of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps ( PHSCC ) and thus the leading spokesperson on matters of public health in the federal government of the United States . The Surgeon General 's office and staff are known as the Office of the Surgeon General ( OSG ) . The U.S. Surgeon General is nominated by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate . The Surgeon General must be appointed from individuals who ( 1 ) are members of the Regular Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service , and ( 2 ) have specialized training or significant experience in public health programs . The Surgeon General serves a four - year term of office and , depending on whether or not the current Assistant Secretary for Health is a Public Health Service commissioned officer , is either the senior or next most senior uniformed officer of the commissioned corps , holding the rank of a vice admiral . The current Surgeon General is Jerome Adams , having taken office on September 5 , 2017 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Responsibilities 2 History 3 Service rank 4 Surgeons General of the United States 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Responsibilities ( edit ) Seal of the U.S. Public Health Service , 1798 The Surgeon General reports to the Assistant Secretary for Health ( ASH ) , who may be a four - star admiral in the commissioned corps , and who serves as the principal adviser to the Secretary of Health and Human Services on public health and scientific issues . The Surgeon General is the overall head of the Commissioned Corps , a 6,500 - member cadre of uniformed health professionals who are on call 24 hours a day , and can be dispatched by the Secretary of HHS or the Assistant Secretary for Health in the event of a public health emergency . The Surgeon General is also the ultimate award authority for several public health awards and decorations , the highest of which that can be directly awarded is the Surgeon General 's Medallion ( the highest award bestowed by board action is the Public Health Service Distinguished Service Medal ) . The Surgeon General also has many informal duties , such as educating the American public about health issues and advocating healthy lifestyle choices . The office also periodically issues health warnings . Perhaps the best known example of this is the Surgeon General 's warning label that has been present on all packages of American tobacco cigarettes since 1966 . A similar health warning has appeared on alcoholic beverages labels since 1988 . History ( edit ) US Public Health Service Collar Device US Public Health Service Cap Device In 1798 , Congress established the Marine Hospital Fund , a network of hospitals that cared for sick and disabled seamen . The Marine Hospital Fund was reorganized along military lines in 1870 and became the Marine Hospital Service -- predecessor to today 's United States Public Health Service . The service became a separate bureau of the Treasury Department with its own staff , administration , headquarters in Washington , D.C , and the position of Supervising Surgeon ( later Surgeon General ) . After 141 years under the Treasury Department , the Service came under the Federal Security Agency in 1939 , then the Department of Health , Education , and Welfare ( HEW ) in 1953 , and finally the United States Department of Health and Human Services ( HHS ) . Some Surgeons General are notable for being outspoken and / or advocating controversial proposals on how to reform the U.S. health system . The office is not a particularly powerful one , and has little direct statutory impact on policy - making , but Surgeons General are often vocal advocates of precedent - setting , far - sighted , unconventional , or even unpopular health policies . On January 11 , 1964 , Rear Admiral Luther Terry , M.D. , published a landmark report saying that smoking may be hazardous to health , sparking nationwide anti-smoking efforts . Terry and his committee defined cigarette smoking of nicotine as not an addiction . The committee itself consisted largely of physicians who themselves smoked . This report went uncorrected for 24 years . In 1986 , Vice Admiral Dr. C. Everett Koop 's report on AIDS called for some form of AIDS education in the early grades of elementary school , and gave full support for using condoms for disease prevention . He also resisted pressure from the Reagan administration to report that abortion was psychologically harmful to women , stating he believed it was a moral issue rather than one concerning the public health . In 1994 , Vice Admiral Dr. Joycelyn Elders had spoken at a United Nations conference on AIDS . She was asked whether it would be appropriate to promote masturbation as a means of preventing young people from engaging in riskier forms of sexual activity , and she replied , `` I think that it is part of human sexuality , and perhaps it should be taught . '' Elders had also spoken in favor of studying drug legalization . In a reference to the national abortion issue , she said `` We really need to get over this love affair with the fetus and start worrying about children . '' She was fired by President Bill Clinton in December 1994 The U.S. Army , Navy , and Air Force also have officers overseeing medical matters in their respective services who hold the title Surgeon General . The insignia of the Surgeon General , and the USPHS , use the caduceus as opposed to the Rod of Asclepius . Service rank ( edit ) The stars , shoulder boards , and sleeve stripes of the Surgeon General The Surgeon General is a commissioned officer in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps , one of the seven uniformed services of the United States , and by law holds the rank of vice admiral . Officers of the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps are classified as non-combatants , but can be subjected to the Uniform Code of Military Justice ( UCMJ ) and the Geneva Conventions when designated by the Commander - in - Chief as a military force or if they are detailed or assigned to work with the armed forces . Officer members of these services wear uniforms that are similar to those worn by the United States Navy , except that the commissioning devices , buttons , and insignia are unique . Officers in the U.S. Public Health Service wear unique devices that are similar to U.S. Navy , Staff Corps Officers ( e.g. , Navy Medical Service Corps , Supply Corps , etc . ) . The only Surgeon General to actually hold the rank of a four - star admiral was David Satcher ( born 1941 , served 1998 -- 2002 ) . This was because he served simultaneously in the positions of Surgeon General ( three - star ) and Assistant Secretary for Health ( which is a four - star office ) . John Maynard Woodworth ( 1837 -- 1879 , served 1871 -- 1879 ) , the first holder of the office as `` Supervising Surgeon '' , is the only Surgeon General to not hold a rank .

Tired of Waiting for You
Tired of Waiting for You - wikipedia Tired of Waiting for You Jump to : navigation , search `` Tired of Waiting for You '' Single by The Kinks from the album Kinda Kinks B - side `` Come on Now '' Released 15 January 1965 ( 1965 - 01 - 15 ) Format 7 '' vinyl Recorded August and December 1964 , at Pye and IBC Studios , London Genre Rock Length 2 : 31 Label Pye 7N 15759 ( UK ) Reprise 0347 ( USA ) Songwriter ( s ) Ray Davies Producer ( s ) Shel Talmy The Kinks singles chronology `` All Day and All of the Night '' ( 1964 ) `` Tired of Waiting for You '' ( 1965 ) `` Ev'rybody's Gonna Be Happy '' ( 1965 ) `` All Day and All of the Night '' ( 1964 ) `` Tired of Waiting for You '' ( 1965 ) `` Ev'rybody's Gonna Be Happy '' ( 1965 ) `` Tired of Waiting for You '' was a hit 1965 rock song by the English band The Kinks . The song was released as a single on 15 January 1965 in the UK and on 17 February 1965 in the USA . It then appeared on their second studio album Kinda Kinks . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Release 3 Chart performance 4 In popular culture 5 Cover Version 6 References 7 External links Background ( edit ) According to Ray Davies , the music for `` Tired of Waiting for You '' was written on the train to the recording studio and the words were written at a coffee shop during a break in the session . During the recording sessions for the song , the band felt that the guitar sound evident on their previous two singles ( `` You Really Got Me '' and `` All Day and All of the Night '' ) was missing . Although the band was concerned that the guitar would ruin the reflective track , the band felt that the guitar added more to the song . Dave Davies said : The recording went well but there was something missing and it was my raunchy guitar sound . Ray and I were worried that putting that heavy - sounding guitar on top of a ponderous song might ruin it . Luckily it enhanced the recording , giving it a more cutting , emotional edge . In my opinion ' Tired Of Waiting ' was the perfect Pop record . Davies also said of the song , `` It was a change of style for us , we got a bit posher ! Our material started to get a bit more melodic after that . '' The song was recorded late August 1964 at Pye Studios ( No. 2 ) , London , with additional guitar overdub at IBC Studios , London on 29 December 1964 . `` Come On Now '' was recorded 22 or 23 December 1964 at Pye Studios ( No. 2 ) . Release ( edit ) `` Tired of Waiting for You '' was written before `` All Day and All of the Night , '' but `` All Day and All of the Night '' was released first due to its similarities to the band 's first UK hit , `` You Really Got Me . '' It reached No. 1 on both the UK Singles Chart and Melody Maker , becoming the band 's second UK chart - topper since `` You Really Got Me . '' The single also reached No. 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100 , the highest charting Kinks single in the US until the band 's 1983 hit `` Come Dancing '' tied it . According to Ray Davies , the band received a telegram from London in New York telling them of the success on Melody Maker , but while the rest of the band went partying , the elder Davies brother ordered a bottle of champagne and enjoyed his success . Chart performance ( edit ) Chart ( 1965 ) Peak position UK Singles Chart Canadian RPM Top Singles Dutch Top 40 18 German Singles Chart 13 Irish Singles Chart US Billboard Hot 100 6 In popular culture ( edit ) The song was played in the background at a roller skating rink during episode five of the first season of True Detective . Cover version ( edit ) `` Tired of Waiting for You '' was covered by The Flock on their 1969 release `` The Flock '' . `` Tired of Waiting for You '' was also covered by Green Day as a B - Side to the single `` Basket Case '' , and would later have an official release on their 2002 album Shenanigans . Five years earlier , in 1997 , the song appeared on the soundtrack to the Howard Stern biographical film Private Parts .

( February 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Main ( edit ) George Beard and Harold Hutchins -- Two fourth grade pranksters , who are best friends and next - door neighbors and the main protagonists of the series . They started a comic book company called `` Treehouse Comix , Inc . '' , and every so often at school they sneak to the secretary 's office to make copies of their latest comic book and sell them on the playground for 50 cents . George is 9 ⁄ years old , while Harold is 10 years old , identified in The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby book . They are the class clowns in 4th grade at Jerome Horwitz Elementary School , a school which discourages imagination and fun , located in Piqua , Ohio . It is revealed in the sixth book that their grades are rarely above C. They often get in trouble and serious events with Mr. Krupp . In Captain Underpants and the Tyrannical Retaliation of the Turbo Toilet 2000 , duplicates of themselves arrive from the future and the four friends share the same life . In Sir Stinks - A-Lot , it is revealed that they both have ADHD . In that book , they meet themselves as adults ; George is a comic book writer , has married a woman and has two children named Meena and Nik ; Harold is a comic book illustrator , and is revealed to be homosexual as he is married to a man named Billy , with whom he has adopted twin children named Kei and Owen . They met in kindergarten . The two bonded after George used his wits and tie to save Harold from a bunch of bullies . George in particular is described as very intelligent for his age , to the point where he could have skipped a grade at will , and only causes trouble at school because he finds school boring . Principal Benjamin `` Benny '' Krupp -- The overweight and cruel principal of Jerome Horwitz Elementary School and the antihero of the series ( usually when no real dangers are happening ) . Mr. Krupp has a deep hatred of children , and also tries to protect Jerome Horwitz Elementary from George and Harold 's antics . Why he is so mean to children in general is unknown . In the first book , George and Harold hypnotize him with a 3 - D Hypno - Ring , made by the Li'lmaking Melvin Sneedly 's invention do the wrong things , and he becomes the superhero Captain Underpants , with a flaw in their attempt to return him to normal resulting in Mr. Krupp turning into Captain Underpants whenever someone snaps their fingers , and reverting to Mr. Krupp whenever someone pours water on Captain Underpants . He does not know about his superhero identity , though in the ninth book it 's revealed that he does know of Captain Underpants 's existence . His first name is revealed as Benny in Captain Underpants and the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants . His favorite book from his childhood is revealed as How the Grinch Stole Christmas ! ( with the last seven pages he tore out of his book ) in Super Diaper Baby 2 : The Invasion of the Potty Snatchers . In Captain Underpants and the Terrifying Re-Turn of Tippy Tinkletrousers , his full first name is revealed to be Benjamin . Also , in Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman , he is revealed to be Jewish . Captain Underpants -- The alter ego of Mr. Krupp , when he is hypnotized to think he is `` Captain Underpants , '' a character created by George and Harold . He always wears underpants and a red cape with black polka - dots . Whenever Mr. Krupp hears the sound of fingers snapping , he turns into Captain Underpants , and he turns back into Mr. Krupp when he is soaked with water . Originally , he did not have any real superpowers ( even though he believed he did ) , so George and Harold would have to follow Mr. Krupp every time he transformed into Captain Underpants to make sure he did not get hurt . He gained his superpowers in the third book by drinking some Extra-Strength Super Power Juice found on an alien spaceship . Captain Underpants is considered to be the `` light side '' of Mr. Krupp himself , as he is nice and kind to everyone , especially children . In his Captain Underpants form , Mr. Krupp seems to know everything about Captain Underpants from George and Harold 's comic books . This may be due to the fact that he actually read all the comic books made by the two boys , which he confiscated by the hundreds over the years . During the final book : The Sensational Saga of Sir Stinks - a-lot , Mr. Meaner in a massive blob form absorbs old George and old Harold then robs Captain Underpants of his powers and absorbs them into his body . Orlando , Tony , and Dawn , the hamsterdactyls ( hamsters and pterodactyls both at once ) defeat Sir Stinks - A-Lot with Diet Coke , Pop Rocks , and Mentos , with Diet Coke and Pop Rocks combined exploding , also with Diet Coke and Mentos , so it could create a big explosion , like the destruction of planet Smart Earth , and George and Harold 's adult selves are released but Mr. Krupp loses his powers permanently and the hypnosis is undone meaning Captain Underpants no longer exists . Melvin Sneedly -- George and Harold 's nerdy nemesis . He is an annoying snitch , mechanical genius , the school brainiac , and tattletale . He was first introduced in the book Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets , where he invents the `` PATSY 2000 '' for the second annual Invention Convention . In book 4 , he has a silly name , Pinky Pizzabrains . He is described as `` the kid with the bowtie and the eyeglasses '' . He becomes the main villain of book 6 , Captain Underpants and the Big , Bad Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy , Part 1 : The Night of the Nasty Nostril Nuggets , after accidentally transforming himself into the Bionic Booger Boy . In Captain Underpants and the Big , Bad Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy Part 2 , Melvin switches bodies with Mr. Krupp and gains his powers , but loses them once they are given back to Captain Underpants . In Captain Underpants and the Preposterous Plight of the Purple Potty People , the alternate Melvin was not at all intelligent . In book 7 , at the end he was chased because of the trouble he caused . In book # 11 , he defeated the Turbo Toilet 2000 but after returning George , Harold and Mr. Krupp to the present , he was excited not to be a superhero anymore and let the hamsterdactyls destroy him . In book 9 on the front of newspaper it says `` Melvin spoke about George and Harold in court '' though does not appear onscreen . At the end of book 10 he appears in a Robo - Squid , which he uses to take George and Harold back to the present . And it is revealed in the latest book that Melvin uses it for time travel to save George and Harold from danger instead of being a tattletale , which he is known as . George and Harold are shown to be smarter than Melvin in saving the world from villains , quoted in book 6 . Sulu and Crackers -- George and Harold 's pets . Sulu was Melvin 's abandoned pet bionic hamster after he yelled at Sulu which offended him , but afterward was adopted by George and Harold . Crackers is their pet Quetzalcoatlus they got when they traveled back in time with Melvin Sneedly 's time machine . Sulu first appeared in The Big , Bad Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy , Part 1 . Crackers first appeared in The Big , Bad Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy , Part 2 . Sulu was briefly a villain after being hypnotized by Evil George and Evil Harold in The Preposterous Plight of the Purple Potty People . Crackers was hypnotized as well , but did not turn evil because `` he '' was a female , and as shown in Captain Underpants and the Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman , hypnosis does the opposite effect for women than what the hypnotizer says ( Crackers was in an alternate universe at the time , but the hypnosis ring came from the original universe ) . Sulu and Crackers accompanied George , Harold , and Mr. Krupp on their time - traveling battles with Tippy Tinkletrousers , and after he turned giant and activated a nuclear bomb , they sent him back 13.7 billion years and were presumably blown up along with him in the explosion that caused the Big Bang ( or Big Ka - Bloosh ) that created the universe - but not before Crackers laid three eggs , which were revealed to be bred from a bionic hamster and Quetzalcoatlus . Their names were Orlando , Tony and Dawn , after the acclaimed 1970s musical trio . Tony , Orlando , and Dawn saved the world from Sir Stinks A-Lot by destroying Captain Underpants 's super powers that Mr. Meaner took . After that following scene , Mr. Krupp was never able to turn back into Captain Underpants by the snap of a finger , and the series was over . Minor ( edit ) Ms. Tara Ribble -- George and Harold 's mean 4th grade teacher , introduced in the first book as unnamed . In book 5 , she turned evil after George and Harold accidentally made her think she was `` Wedgie Woman , '' one of the characters in their comic books . Afterward , the two changed her behavior to be nicer and happier with their 3D Hypno - Ring , including making her serve freshly baked cookies to the class every day of school . Ms. Ribble 's favorite ice cream flavor is chunky tofu , as revealed in the fifth book . She also almost marries Mr. Krupp , but refuses because he has a `` silly nose '' ( Ironically , they have the same nose ) . Ms. Ribble appears in the sixth book and is still nice to her class , even playing a prank on Mr. Krupp , although she gets sick as a result of Melvin . She does n't appear in books 7 and 8 . She appeared in the 9th book at a meeting with Mr. Krupp and Mr. Fyde during the part of the book set in the past , appearing in her original state .

George and Harold accidentally gave them the remains of their Super Power Juice while showing them a new comic at a two - family dinner during Grandparents ' Day . The two later save George and Harold from Captain Blunderpants , and share a romantic moment ( much to George and Harold 's disgust ) before flying off . The Lunch Ladies -- The ladies do not play large roles in most of the books , but are essential to the plot of the third book . Two of the ladies ' names are given ; they are : Miss Creant and Mrs. DePoint , which are puns on `` miscreant '' and `` misses the point '' , respectively . The third lady 's name is unknown .

Villains ( edit ) Dr. Diaper -- A mad scientist resembling a baby whose plan was to blow up the moon with the Lasermatic 2000 : all the big chunks of it would come crashing down on every major city in the world . This chaos would allow him to take over the Earth . He made a brief appearance at the end of the fourth book , where he met Professor Poopypants in jail and , along with all the other inmates , laughed at his name , much to Poopypants ' annoyance and anger . When Poopypants , now called Tippy Tinkletrousers , alters history , Dr. Diaper succeeds in blowing up the moon , but is eaten by the Talking Toilets . This was reversed when Tippy restored history to the way it was . In the British release of The Adventures of Captain Underpants , he is called Dr. Nappy . Dr. Diaper 's Evil Robots -- They were robots created by Dr. Diaper , and assigned to steal a diamond , the power source to Dr. Diaper 's Lasermatic 2000 and kidnapped Mr. Krupp ( who was hypnotized to think he was Captain Underpants ) . They were destroyed by George and Harold . The Turbo Toilet 2000 -- A giant toilet created by George and Harold , who was accidentally brought into the real world with a modified photocopier . His plan was to devour Captain Underpants and conquer the world with his army of vicious Talking Toilets , but he was defeated and flown to Uranus ; in the fourth book , in the newspaper Professor Poopypants was holding , one of the articles states that there were talking toilets found on Uranus and the Piqua Order Of Professional Space Interplanetary Explorers ( POOPSIE ) later discovered the talking toilets on Uranus yet again In Book 7 . It is also a running gag in the book series that bad guys get sent to Uranus . He came back to life and he gets defeated by two different people in two different universes . In the first universe , George , Harold , and Captain Underpants were on a big adventure traveling through time with Tippy Tinkletrousers . Melvin enjoyed this until the Turbo Toilet 2000 arrived and ruined his experiment . Angered , after Melvin yells at him to be quiet , the Turbo Toilet 2000 chases Melvin all the way over to the school , where Melvin finds one of Mr. Krupp 's recently clipped - off toenails from the day before . He gets the idea of extracting it into DNA and transferring Mr. Krupp ( Captain Underpants ) 's superpowers to himself . He ends up doing so and defeating the Turbo Toilet 2000 . In the second universe , George and Harold have created duplicates of themselves and have three of Crackers ' and Sulu 's eggs . When the Turbo Toilet 2000 arrives , The Georges and Harolds run to the asylum to try to get to Mr. Krupp , but after having been unsuccessful , the group take some cardboard boxes and outdoor grills to create talking toilet disguises . George and Harold climb in the disguises , which fools the Turbo Toilet 2000 , and manage to convince him to break down the wall of the asylum . With the snap of every finger , George then turned Mr. Krupp back into Captain Underpants , who prepared to fight against the Turbo Toilet 2000 . Captain Underpants ends up winning the fight , but after that the Turbo Toilet 2000 starts crying and his giant tears fall on his head , he turns back into Mr. Krupp once again . After being grabbed by the Turbo Toilet , Mr. Krupp decides to direct the planetary privy towards George and Harold 's treehouse , where Yesterday George and Yesterday Harold are . After making it there , the Turbo Toilet opens his mouth and swallows Mr. Krupp whole , and then proceeds to ram the base of the treehouse . In the chaos , Cracker 's eggs fall to the ground with a sonic boom and a terrible `` CRASH ! '' As Yesterday George and Yesterday Harold sift through the broken eggshell fragments , they discover that Cracker 's children are half - pterodactyl , half - hamster . The Turbo Toilet grabs Yesterday George and Harold , but the hamster - pterodactyl children save them by lifting the Turbo Toilet up , and shattering him with a deafening `` BOOM ! '' The hamsterdactyls are later called Orlando , Tony and Dawn . A variation of the Turbo Toilet 2000 appears in the movie created by Melvin , and modified by Professor Poopypants , and is at first as an electronic toilet invention in the Invention Convention . It is unknown if that Invention Convention is the first or second , or any number . George and Harold do a prank where it throws toilet paper , and Poopypants zaps it and grows it with his Sizerator 2000 , and it is filled with toxic goo . The Talking Toilets -- Ferocious sharp - fanged toilets who were minions for the Turbo Toilet 2000 . They ate all the teachers in the school , but after being fed food from the school cafeteria they vomited the unconscious - but - unharmed teachers before dying .

Professor Pippy Pee - Pee Poopypants ( Later known as Tippy Tinkletrousers ) -- A brilliant scientist who unfortunately comes from a foreign culture in which everyone has a silly name . Because of his name , he was never taken seriously by any of the American universities , so he decided to go into teaching science at the school after Mr. Fyde quit - however , he was eventually driven insane by being constantly made fun of and his plan was to give everyone on the planet a silly name . He was defeated by a giant Captain Underpants and was taken to jail . George and Harold convince him to change his name but it is still silly . He returns ( under his new name Tippy Tinkletrousers ) in the ninth book , and reappears in the tenth book , where he freezes Kipper and his friends and creates two versions of himself called Tiny Tippy and Slightly Younger Tiny Tippy , and while the others betray Tippy , him and his clones return to the eighth chapter of the ninth book for the Goosy - Grow 4000 to enlarge themselves ( a paradox against time , because if Tippy returns to book eight and froze the policemen , they never arrested George , Harold , and Mr. Krupp , therefore , that also means that what happened in book nine never happened , therefore , neither the events of chapter eight happened ) , however Tiny Tippy was enlarged ( becoming Supa Mega Tippy ) and betrays Slightly Younger Tiny Tippy and returns to the prehistoric age ( with Slightly Younger Tiny Tippy , but he did n't notice ) , so Tippy took a bomb that could extinguish all life on the planet , so Supa Mega Tippy frees Captain Underpants from the robotic arms of the Robo - Pants of Tippy and travels to the ice age ( George , Harold , Crackers , and Sulu also go with it ) , but before that he kicks Tippy so hard that he lands in Mexico with his bomb and the bomb explodes there which extinguished the dinosaurs , killing Tippy and showing that Tippy Tinkletrousers was the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs .

She is later changed back to normal by George and Harold , where she becomes nice and bakes chocolate chip cookies everyday for the class . Robo - George and The Harold 2000 -- Two giant robots built by Wedgie Woman based on George and Harold . They were totally obedient to Wedgie Woman , each had a vast arsenal of powerful weapons and gadgets and were programmed to destroy Captain Underpants once they heard him say `` Tra - la - laaa !

They all share a weakness to oranges , which Captain Underpants successfully used to destroy the rampaging trio of living mucus . Carl had the Bionic Booger Boy 's legs , Trixie had the tentacles , and Frankenbooger had the arms . Whenever they eat , they become bigger and more evil . Evil George and Evil Harold -- Evil versions of George and Harold from an alternate dimension who are both intelligent and evil . They helped Captain Blunderpants and unlike the sketchy , amateurish George and Harold they are actually good authors and illustrators ( ironically the main George and Harold consider the alternative George and Harold 's work inferior ) . Additionally , they also tended to correct the spelling on signs to evil phrases ( while their counterparts often change the signs into funny words ) . They had also hypnotized Sulu and convinced him to wreak havoc on the city and grew him to an enormous size . He was later shrunk . Both were shrunk and sent back to their universe by George and Harold . Captain Blunderpants -- The opposite of Captain Underpants from an alternate dimension who plots on taking over the world and destroying Captain Underpants . Captain Blunderpants has a toupee and looks and acts more like Mr. Krupp , while the alternate Mr. Krupp is nice . He was defeated by Boxer Boy and Great - Granny Girdle . Also his transformation is opposite ; when water is splashed on him , he becomes the evil Captain Blunderpants and when someone snaps their fingers , he becomes nice Mr. Krupp . Kipper Krupp -- A sixth - grade bully and Mr. Krupp 's nephew , who would bully George , Harold and other children when they were all in kindergarten . He appears in the ninth book . After George and Harold make him think he is being haunted by a ghost , he changes his ways . When Tippy Tinkletrousers alters history by traveling to this scene with a robot resembling the ghost , Kipper and his friends go insane and are sent to Piqua Valley Home for the Reality Challenged . Mr. Krupp is blamed and is fired , resulting in the destruction of Earth , but all this is reversed when Tippy of the future goes back in time and freezes them so they never see the Robo - Pants and lose their minds , restoring history .

This is reversed when Tippy goes back to the night when the bullies encounter him . He freezes the boys , so they do n't see the Robo - Pants and the flow of events is restored . Tiny Tippy ( later known as Supa Mega Tippy ) -- When Tippy Tinkletrousers traveled back in time , he shrank himself from the past , nicknaming him `` Tiny Tippy '' . Tippy tucked him in his shirt pocket , keeping him for a while without anything to see . When Mr. Krupp and George , Harold , Sulu , and Crackers escaped back in time , Tippy gave Tiny Tippy the task of spying for five to ten minutes before they escaped . Then , when Tiny Tippy encounters Tippy again , he explains that he was ten minutes older than the Tiny Tippy in his pocket , and that the five escaped to the Mesozoic era . When the three Tippys went back in time , Tippy was rather mean with his two tiny twins , saying : `` This is a job for a MAN , not two little twerps like you ! '' . Tiny Tippy and his ten - minute younger self traveled back to the time when they were fighting Captain Underpants and he removed the top half of the Robo - Suit , with intent to take the Goosy - Grow 4000 and enlarge themselves and get back at their huge identical . Slightly Younger Tiny Tippy zaps Tiny Tippy two times , making him grow sixty feet . Supa Mega Tippy betrays his younger twin , saying : `` This is a job for a MAN , not a little twerp like you ! '' . Supa Mega Tippy then went to the past to kill his twin from the future . Supa Mega Tippy escapes from the huge waves , along with the five . Supa Mega Tippy had traveled to the time of the cavemen , and the five use this as a way to escape . The cavemen later stand up to Supa Mega Tippy , defeating him . Supa Mega Tippy 's intent to freeze the cavemen resulted in freezing himself and creating the Ice age for some strange reason . Slightly Younger Tiny Tippy -- When Tippy sent Tiny Tippy to the past , he caused another Tippy to exist . Tippy was really rude with him and his older self , and he and Tiny Tippy devise a plan to get back at Tippy . However , Supa Mega Tippy betrays him , and to get back at him , Slightly Younger Tiny Tippy rigged the Robo - Pants system . This is what caused the Ice Age . Slightly Younger Tiny Tippy then tried to enlarge himself , but stopped at 120 feet when the Goosy - Grow fell and expanded the ice , creating the Ice Age . Slightly Younger Tiny Tippy took the five thirty years in the future , but Captain Underpants and his older self defeated him . His intents to blow up the galaxy was ruined when Crackers and Sulu took him and his bomb 13 billion years ago , killing him , Crackers , and Sulu . This also created the universe as The Big Ka - Bloosh ! Theory . Thirty - Nine - & - Three - Quarters - Year - Old George Beard & Forty - Year - Old Harold Hutchins -- Adult versions of George and Harold , who are teachers at the future Jerome Horowitz Elementary School . They are good friends of Mr. Krupp and like him , enjoy terrorizing the children at the school . They are shown in a future where George and Harold vowed to be serious for the rest of their lives . Upon seeing this future , the present - day George and Harold vowed to undo their previous vow , removing their future selves from history . Sir Stinks A Lot -- Mr. Meaner later becomes the alter - ego of Sir - Stinks - A-Lot , an evil hypnotist , in the twelfth book , Captain Underpants and the Sensational Saga of Sir Stinks - A-Lot . He invented Rid - O - Kid 2000 , a spray that allows children to be well - behaved and follow the instructions of adults . He first sprayed it on Yesterday George and Harold . Once George and Harold heard about this , they told all the children who had been sprayed , to mess up the teachers . Sir Stinks - A-Lot found out and went looking for the people who could have done this . He blamed Old George and Harold for this . Once Mr. Krupp turned into Captain Underpants he got defeated but turned into a blob of white goop who then destroyed Mr. Krupp 's trance of Captain Underpants `` a paradox because that way Old Captain Underpants ' mentioned in the tenth book ' never could have existed '' and gobbled up George and Harold . Tony , Orlando and Dawn heard the call and destroyed the goop but keeping George , Harold , Mr Meaner and themselves safe . Novels ( edit ) The main series of novels has developed a pattern of alliteration from the second book on -- with the exception of the third book , whose `` annoyingly long '' title becomes a running joke in future books . Novels 6 -- 12 in the main series form one unbroken story , in which the ending of each of such novel except the last is a cliffhanger , and the next novel in sequence immediately picks up where the last one left off .

Dav Pilkey also mentioned this in his website . According to the American Library Association , Pilkey 's Captain Underpants series was explicitly banned in some schools for insensitivity and being unsuited to age group , as well as encouraging children to disobey authority . The American Library Association stated in a release by the National Coalition Against Censorship that `` This year 's # 1 banned book , Captain Underpants ... is the gift that keeps on giving . Why ? Because these popular , silly books are read by parents , with their children , all over the country . The toilet humor makes parents roll their eyes and kids giggle . The absurdity of banning books in order to attack perceived moral problems is exemplified by this year 's winner . '' In October 2015 , the 12th book received controversy due to a reference to Harold being gay . Some elementary schools have banned the book for this reason . Costumes ( edit ) In 2006 , Captain Underpants Halloween costumes created controversy at Long Beach High School in Long Island , New York . Three female students dressed up as Captain Underpants causing the principal , Nicholas Restivo , to enact a costume ban for all students . The three girls put on beige leotards and nude stockings under white briefs and red capes . According to Principal Restivo , `` the appearance was that they were naked . '' Hiatus ( edit ) Although the first few books came out on a regular basis , the ninth book , Captain Underpants and the Terrifying Return of Tippy Tinkletrousers ( advertised in a teaser at the end of the eighth book ) , was n't released until 2012 , after a six - year wait . During this time , Dav Pilkey was caring for his terminally ill father , who died in 2008 . In 2009 , he signed a deal with Scholastic for four new books , the first of which was The Adventures of Ook and Gluk : Kung - Fu Cavemen from the Future , released August 10 , 2010 . The second was Super Diaper Baby 2 : The Invasion of the Potty Snatchers , released June 28 , 2011 . The third book , Captain Underpants and the Terrifying Return of Tippy Tinkletrousers , was released August 28 , 2012 . The fourth book , Captain Underpants and the Revolting Revenge of the Radioactive Robo - Boxers , was released January 16 , 2013 . Film adaptation ( edit ) Main article : Captain Underpants : The First Epic Movie On October 20 , 2011 , it was reported that DreamWorks Animation had acquired rights to make an animated feature film based on the Captain Underpants series . On October 25 , 2013 , it was reported that Rob Letterman would direct the film , while Nicholas Stoller would write the script . It would have been the second film to have Letterman and Stoller working together , the first being Gulliver 's Travels . On January 21 , 2014 , the cast was announced , with Ed Helms joining as Mr. Krupp / Captain Underpants ; Kevin Hart as George Beard ; Thomas Middleditch as Harold Hutchins ; Nick Kroll as the insidious villain , Professor Poopypants ; and Jordan Peele as Melvin , the nerdy nemesis of George and Harold . On June 12 , 2014 , the film was scheduled for release on January 13 , 2017 . Following DreamWorks Animation 's reorganization in early 2015 , the studio announced that the film will be produced outside of the studio 's pipeline at a significantly lower cost . It will be instead animated at Mikros Image in Montreal , Canada , and it will look differently than most of DWA 's films . A month later , Deadline reported that Letterman had left the project , and that David Soren , the director of Turbo , was in talks to direct the film , but Letterman returned to the project and serves as an executive producer with Dav Pilkey . The film was expected to be released on March 10 , 2017 , but in September 2015 , DreamWorks Animation 's The Boss Baby took over its date . The film was released on June 2 , 2017 . It has received positive reviews and has grossed over $123 million . Reception ( edit ) Censors in the United States have been targeting the Captain Underpants series after the first book was released in 1997 . The Office of Intellectual Freedom of the American Library Association reported that Captain Underpants is the book series with the most complaints from libraries due to offensive content in the United States in 2012 and 2013 . Several parents accused the book of having language inappropriate for the book 's target audience , children enrolled in elementary schools . Jessica Roake , in an article published in Slate , argued that the books are well suited for young readers . She wrote that `` They 're drawn to them because for the first time in their reading lives they are understood , entertained , and catered to all at once . It is theirs , not ours , and that feeling of exclusive ownership forges the kind of connection everyone should have with at least one book in their life . For that , most every English teacher of my acquaintance will be more than happy to take the shot to the ego the Captain provides .

Millennials - wikipedia Millennials Jump to : navigation , search `` Generation Y '' redirects here . For other uses , see Generation Y ( disambiguation ) and Millennials ( disambiguation ) . Part of a series on Generations Lost Generation G.I. Generation Silent Generation Baby boomers Generation X Millennials Generation Z Millennials ( also known as Generation Y ) are the generational demographic cohort following Generation X . There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends ; demographers and researchers typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years . Millennials are sometimes referred to as `` echo boomers '' due to a major surge in birth rates in the 1980s and 1990s , and because millennials are often the children of the baby boomers . The 20th - century trend toward smaller families in developed countries continued , however , so the relative impact of the `` baby boom echo '' was generally less pronounced than the post -- World War II baby boom . Although Millennial characteristics vary by region , depending on social and economic conditions , the generation is generally marked by an increased use and familiarity with communications , media , and digital technologies . In most parts of the world , their upbringing was marked by an increase in a liberal approach to politics and economics ; the effects of this environment are disputed . The Great Recession has had a major impact on this generation because it has caused historically high levels of unemployment among young people , and has led to speculation about possible long - term economic and social damage to this generation . Contents ( hide ) 1 Terminology 2 Date and age range definitions 3 Traits 4 Workplace attitudes 5 Political views 5.1 Political correctness 6 Demographics in the United States 7 Economic prospects 8 Peter Pan generation 9 Religion 10 Digital technology 11 Cultural identity 12 See also 13 References 14 Further reading Terminology Authors William Strauss and Neil Howe are widely credited with naming the millennials . They coined the term in 1987 , around the time children born in 1982 were entering preschool , and the media were first identifying their prospective link to the new millennium as the high school graduating class of 2000 . They wrote about the cohort in their books Generations : The History of America 's Future , 1584 to 2069 ( 1991 ) and Millennials Rising : The Next Great Generation ( 2000 ) . In August 1993 , an Advertising Age editorial coined the phrase Generation Y to describe those who were aged 11 or younger as well as the teenagers of the upcoming ten years who were defined as different from Generation X . According to journalist Bruce Horovitz , in 2012 , Ad Age `` threw in the towel by conceding that millennials is a better name than Gen Y '' , and by 2014 , a past director of data strategy at Ad Age said to NPR `` the Generation Y label was a placeholder until we found out more about them '' . Millennials are sometimes called Echo Boomers , due to their being the offspring of the baby boomers and due to the significant increase in birth rates from the early 1980s to mid 1990s , mirroring that of their parents . In the United States , birth rates peaked in August 1990 and a 20th - century trend toward smaller families in developed countries continued . In his book The Lucky Few : Between the Greatest Generation and the Baby Boom , author Elwood Carlson called this cohort the `` New Boomers '' . Psychologist Jean Twenge described millennials as `` Generation Me '' in her 2006 book Generation Me : Why Today 's Young Americans Are More Confident , Assertive , Entitled -- and More Miserable Than Ever Before , which was updated in 2014 . In 2013 , Time magazine ran a cover story titled Millennials : The Me Me Me Generation . Newsweek used the term Generation 9 / 11 to refer to young people who were between the ages of 10 and 20 years during the terrorist acts of 11 September 2001 . The first reference to `` Generation 9 / 11 '' was made in the cover story of the 12 November 2001 issue of Newsweek . Alternative names for this group proposed include Generation We , Global Generation , Generation Next and the Net Generation . Chinese millennials are commonly called the 1980s and 1990s generations . At a 2015 conference in Shanghai organized by University of Southern California 's US - China Institute , millennials in China were examined and contrasted with American millennials Findings included millennials ' marriage , childbearing , and child raising preferences , life and career ambitions , and attitudes towards volunteerism and activism . Date and age range definitions A minority of demographers and researchers start the generation in the mid-to - late 1970s , such as Synchrony Financial which describes millennials as starting as early as 1976 and ending at 1992 , Mobilize.org which uses 1976 -- 1996 , MetLife which uses birth dates ranging 1977 -- 1994 , and Nielsen Media Research which uses 1977 -- 1995 . A majority of researchers and demographers start the generation in the early 1980s , with many ending the generation in the mid and late 1990s . Australia 's McCrindle Research regards 1980 -- 1994 as Generation Y birth years . A 2013 PricewaterhouseCoopers report and Edelman Berland use 1980 -- 1995 . Gallup Inc. , Eventbrite and Dale Carnegie Training and MSW Research all use 1980 -- 1996 . Ernst and Young uses 1981 -- 1996 . Another majority end the generation in the late 1990s or early 2000s . A 2017 viral video from BuzzFeed , detailing the seven living generations of Americans , described millennials as those born between 1981 -- 1997 . On the American television program Survivor , for their 33rd season , subtitled Millennials vs. Gen X , the `` Millennial tribe '' consisted of individuals born between 1984 and 1997 . Goldman Sachs , Resolution Foundation , and a 2013 Time magazine cover story all use 1980 -- 2000 . Millennialpolicycenter.org and SYZYGY , a digital service agency partially owned by WPP , uses 1981 -- 1998 . The United States Census Bureau uses 1982 -- 2000 . Pew Research Center defines millennials as being born from 1981 to about 1997 , with no chronological end point firmly established . Career FAQ uses years between 1982 - 2000 . Demographers William Straus and Neil Howe define millennials as born between 1982 -- 2004 . However , Howe described the dividing line between millennials and the following Generation Z as `` tentative '' , saying `` you ca n't be sure where history will someday draw a cohort dividing line until a generation fully comes of age '' . He noted that the millennials ' range beginning in 1982 would point to the next generation 's window starting between 2000 and 2006 . In his 2008 book The Lucky Few : Between the Greatest Generation and the Baby Boom , author Elwood Carlson defined this cohort as born between 1983 -- 2001 based on the upswing in births after 1983 and finishing with the `` political and social challenges '' that occurred after the September 11 terrorist acts . In 2016 , U.S Pirg described millennials as those born between 1983 and 2000 . Due to birth - year overlap between definitions of Generation X and millennials , and the tentative nature of generations , some individuals born in the late 1970s and early 1980s see themselves as being `` between '' the two generations . Names given to those born in the Generation X and Millennial cusp years include Xennials , The Lucky Ones , Generation Catalano , and the Oregon Trail Generation . Individuals born between the years 1995 - 2000 are said to belong to the generation `` YZ '' cusp . Traits Authors William Strauss and Neil Howe believe that each generation has common characteristics that give it a specific character with four basic generational archetypes , repeating in a cycle . According to their hypothesis , they predicted millennials will become more like the `` civic - minded '' G.I. Generation with a strong sense of community both local and global . Strauss and Howe ascribe seven basic traits to the Millennial cohort : special , sheltered , confident , team - oriented , conventional , pressured , and achieving . Arthur E. Levine , author of When Hope and Fear Collide : A Portrait of Today 's College Student describes these generational images as `` stereotypes '' . Strauss and Howe 's research has been influential , but it also has critics . Psychologist Jean Twenge says Strauss and Howe 's assertions are overly - deterministic , non-falsifiable , and unsupported by rigorous evidence . Twenge , the author of the 2006 book Generation Me , considers millennials , along with younger members of Generation X , to be part of what she calls `` Generation Me '' . Twenge attributes millennials with the traits of confidence and tolerance , but also describes a sense of entitlement and narcissism , based on personality surveys showing increased narcissism among millennials compared to preceding generations when they were teens and in their twenties . She questions the predictions of Strauss and Howe that this generation will turn out civic - minded . A 2016 study by SYZYGY a digital service agency , found millennials in the U.S. continue to exhibit elevated scores on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory as they age , finding millennials exhibited 16 % more narcissism than older adults , with males scoring higher on average than females . The study examined two types of narcissism : grandiose narcissism , described as `` the narcissism of extraverts , characterized by attention - seeking behavior , power and dominance '' , and vulnerable narcissism , described as `` the narcissism of introverts , characterized by an acute sense of self - entitlement and defensiveness . '' The University of Michigan 's `` Monitoring the Future '' study of high school seniors ( conducted continually since 1975 ) and the American Freshman survey , conducted by UCLA 's Higher Education Research Institute of new college students since 1966 , showed an increase in the proportion of students who consider wealth a very important attribute , from 45 % for Baby Boomers ( surveyed between 1967 and 1985 ) to 70 % for Gen Xers , and 75 % for millennials . The percentage who said it was important to keep abreast of political affairs fell , from 50 % for Baby Boomers to 39 % for Gen Xers , and 35 % for millennials . The notion of `` developing a meaningful philosophy of life '' decreased the most across generations , from 73 % for Boomers to 45 % for millennials . The willingness to be involved in an environmental cleanup program dropped from 33 % for Baby Boomers to 21 % for millennials . Millennials show a willingness to vote more than previous generations . With voter rates being just below 50 % for the last four presidential cycles , they have already surpassed Gen Xers of the same age who were at just 36 % . Two early millennials advocate for the legalization of marijuana at a 2001 event A 2013 Pew Research Poll found that 84 % of millennials , born since 1980 , who were at that time between the ages of 18 and 32 , favored legalizing the use of marijuana . In 2015 , the Pew Research Center also conducted research regarding generational identity that said a majority did not like the `` Millennial '' label . In March 2014 , the Pew Research Center issued a report about how `` millennials in adulthood '' are `` detached from institutions and networked with friends . '' The report said millennials are somewhat more upbeat than older adults about America 's future , with 49 % of millennials saying the country 's best years are ahead though they 're the first in the modern era to have higher levels of student loan debt and unemployment . Fred Bonner , a Samuel DeWitt Proctor Chair in Education at Rutgers University and author of Diverse Millennial Students in College : Implications for Faculty and Student Affairs , believes that much of the commentary on the Millennial Generation may be partially accurate , but overly general and that many of the traits they describe apply primarily to `` white , affluent teenagers who accomplish great things as they grow up in the suburbs , who confront anxiety when applying to super-selective colleges , and who multitask with ease as their helicopter parents hover reassuringly above them . '' During class discussions , Bonner listened to black and Hispanic students describe how some or all of the so - called core traits did not apply to them . They often said that the `` special '' trait , in particular , is unrecognizable . Other socio - economic groups often do not display the same attributes commonly attributed to millennials . `` It 's not that many diverse parents do n't want to treat their kids as special , '' he says , `` but they often do n't have the social and cultural capital , the time and resources , to do that . '' In his book Fast Future , author David Burstein describes millennials ' approach to social change as `` pragmatic idealism '' with a deep desire to make the world a better place , combined with an understanding that doing so requires building new institutions while working inside and outside existing institutions . Elza Venter , an educational psychologist and lecturer at Unisa , South Africa , in the Department of Psychology of Education , believes members of Generation Y are digital natives because they have grown up experiencing digital technology and have known it all their lives . Prensky coined the concept ' digital natives ' because this generation are ' native speakers of the digital language of computers , video games and the internet ' . This generation spans 20 years and its older members use a combination of face - to - face communication and computer mediated communication , while its younger members use mainly electronic and digital technologies for interpersonal communication . Workplace attitudes There are vast , and conflicting , amounts of literature and empirical studies discussing the existence of generational differences as it pertains to the workplace . The majority of research concludes millennials differ from both their generational cohort predecessors , and can be characterized by a preference for a flat corporate culture , an emphasis on work - life balance and social consciousness . According to authors from Florida International University , original research performed by Howe and Strauss as well as Yu & Miller suggest Baby Boomers resonate primarily with loyalty , work ethic , steady career path , and compensation when it comes to their professional lives . Generation X on the other hand , started shifting preferences towards an improved work - life balance with a heightened focus on individual advancement , stability , and job satisfaction . Meanwhile , millennials place an emphasis on producing meaningful work , finding a creative outlet , and have a preference for immediate feedback . In the article Challenges of the Work of the Future it is also stressed that millennials working at the knowledge - based jobs very often assume personal responsibility in order to make the most of what they do . As they are not satisfied with remaining for a long of time at the same job , their career paths become more dynamic and less predictable . Findings also suggest the introduction of social media has augmented collaborative skills and created a preference for a team - oriented environment . In the 2010 the Journal of Business and Psychology , contributors Myers and Sadaghiani find millennials `` expect close relationships and frequent feedback from supervisors '' to be a main point of differentiation . Multiple studies observe millennials ' associating job satisfaction with free flow of information , strong connectivity to supervisors , and more immediate feedback . Hershatter and Epstein , researchers from Emory University , argue a lot of these traits can be linked to millennials entering the educational system on the cusp of academic reform , which created a much more structured educational system . Some argue in the wake of these reforms , such as the No Child Left Behind Act , millennials have increasingly sought the aid of mentors and advisers , leading to 66 % of millennials seeking a flat work environment . Hershatter and Epstein also stress a growing importance on work - life balance . Studies show nearly one - third of students ' top priority is to `` balance personal and professional life '' . The Brain Drain Study shows nearly 9 out of 10 millennials place an importance on work - life balance , with additional surveys demonstrating the generation to favor familial over corporate values . Studies also show a preference for work - life balance , which contrasts to the Baby Boomers ' work - centric attitude . Data also suggests millennials are driving a shift towards the public service sector . In 2010 , Myers and Sadaghiani published research in the Journal of Business and Psychology stating heightened participation in the Peace Corps and MeriCorps as a result of millennials , with volunteering being at all - time highs . Volunteer activity between 2007 and 2008 show the Millennial age group experienced almost three - times the increase of the overall population , which is consistent with a survey of 130 college upperclassmen depicting an emphasis on altruism in their upbringing . This has led , according to a Harvard University Institute of Politics , six out of ten millennials to consider a career in public service . The 2014 Brookings publication shows a generational adherence to corporate social responsibility , with the National Society of High School Scholars ( NSHSS ) 2013 survey and Universum 's 2011 survey , depicting a preference to work for companies engaged in the betterment of society . Millennials ' shift in attitudes has led to data depicting 64 % of millennials would take a 60 % pay cut to pursue a career path aligned with their passions , and financial institutions have fallen out of favor with banks comprising 40 % of the generation 's least liked brands . In 2008 , author Ron Alsop called the millennials `` Trophy Kids , '' a term that reflects a trend in competitive sports , as well as many other aspects of life , where mere participation is frequently enough for a reward . It has been reported that this is an issue in corporate environments . Some employers are concerned that millennials have too great expectations from the workplace . Some studies predict they will switch jobs frequently , holding many more jobs than Gen Xers due to their great expectations . Psychologist Jean Twenge reports data suggests there are differences between older and younger millennials regarding workplace expectations , with younger millennials being `` more practical '' and `` more attracted to industries with steady work and are more likely to say they are willing to work overtime '' which Twenge attributes to younger millennials coming of age following the financial crisis of 2007 - 2008 . There is also a contention that the major differences are found solely between millennials and Generation X . Researchers from the University of Missouri and The University of Tennessee conducted a study based on measurement equivalence to determine if such a difference does in fact exist . The study looked at 1,860 participants who had completed the Multidimensional Work Ethic Profile ( MWEP ) , a survey aimed at measuring identification with work - ethic characteristics , across a 12 - year period spanning from 1996 to 2008 . The results of the findings suggest the main difference in work ethic sentiments arose between the two most recent generational cohorts , Generation X and millennials , with relatively small variances between the two generations and their predecessor , the Baby Boomers . That said , some research fails to find convincing differences . A meta study conducted by researchers from The George Washington University and The U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences questions the validity of workplace differences across any generational cohort . According to the researchers , disagreement in which events to include when assigning generational cohorts , as well as varied opinions on which age ranges to include in each generational category are the main drivers behind their skepticism . The analysis of 20 research reports focusing on the three work - related factors of job satisfaction , organizational commitment and intent to turn over proved any variation was too small to discount the impact of employee tenure and aging of individuals . Newer research shows that millennials change jobs for the same reasons as other generations -- namely , more money and a more innovative work environment . They look for versatility and flexibility in the workplace , and strive for a strong work -- life balance in their jobs and have similar career aspirations to other generations , valuing financial security and a diverse workplace just as much as their older colleagues . Political views Surveys of political attitudes among millennials in the United Kingdom have suggested increasingly social liberal views , as well as higher overall support for classical liberal economic policies than preceding generations . They are more likely to support same - sex marriage and the legalization of drugs . The Economist parallels this with millennials in the United States , whose attitudes are more supportive of social liberal policies and same - sex marriage relative to other demographics . They are also more likely to oppose animal testing for medical purposes than older generations . Bernie Sanders , a self - proclaimed democratic socialist and democratic candidate in the 2016 United States presidential election , was the most popular candidate among Millennial voters in the primary phase , having garnered more votes from people under 30 in 21 states than the major parties ' candidates , Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton , did combined . In April 2016 , The Washington Post viewed him as changing the way millennials viewed politics , saying , `` He 's not moving a party to the left . He 's moving a generation to the left . '' Bernie Sanders referred to millennials as `` the least prejudiced generation in the history of the United States '' . A 2014 poll for the libertarian Reason magazine suggested that American millennials were social liberals and fiscal centrists , more often than their global peers . The magazine predicted that millennials would become more conservative on fiscal issues once they started paying taxes . In the United Kingdom , the majority of millennials opposed the British withdrawal from the European Union . Blaming Baby boomers , who largely supported the referendum , one commenter said : `` The younger generation has lost the right to live and work in 27 other countries . We will never know the full extent of the lost opportunities , friendships , marriages and experiences we will be denied . '' The Washington Post phrased this as `` we let you steal our future '' , reporting high voter turnout among those over 55 years of age and low voter turnout among those under 34 years of age . Political correctness A Safe Space America vehicle in 2016 , which is used to promote the availability and creation of safe spaces In some countries , like the U.S. and UK , millennials are more likely to support political correctness than their elders . In 2015 , a Pew Research study found 40 % of millennials in the United States supported government restriction of public speech offensive to minority groups ; agreeing with this were 27 % of Gen Xers , 24 % of Baby Boomers and only 12 % of the Silent Generation . Pew Research noted similar age related trends in the United Kingdom , but not in Germany and Spain , where millennials were less supportive of restricting offensive speech than older groups , or France , Italy and Poland , where there were no noticeable age differences . In the U.S. and UK , millennials have brought changes to higher education via drawing attention to microaggressions and advocating implementation of safe spaces and trigger warnings in the university setting . Critics of such changes have raised concerns regarding their impact on free speech , asserting these changes can promote censorship , while proponents have described these changes as promoting inclusiveness . Demographics in the United States Millennial population size varies , depending on the definition used . William Strauss and Neil Howe projected in their 1991 book Generations that the U.S. Millennial population would be 76 million . Later , using dates ranging from 1982 to 2004 , Neil Howe revised the number to over 95 million people ( in the U.S. ) . In a 2012 Time magazine article , it was estimated that there were approximately 80 million U.S. millennials . The United States Census Bureau , using birth dates ranging from 1982 to 2000 , stated the estimated number of U.S. millennials in 2015 was 83.1 million people . In 2016 , the Pew Research Center found that millennials surpassed Baby Boomers to become the largest living generation in the United States . By analyzing 2015 U.S Census data they found there were 75.4 million millennials , based on Pew 's definition of the generation which ranges from 1981 to 1997 , compared to 74.9 million Baby Boomers . Economic prospects German young adults protest youth unemployment at a 2014 event Economic prospects for some millennials have declined largely due to the Great Recession in the late 2000s . Several governments have instituted major youth employment schemes out of fear of social unrest due to the dramatically increased rates of youth unemployment . In Europe , youth unemployment levels were very high ( 56 % in Spain , 44 % in Italy , 35 % in the Baltic states , 19.1 % in Britain and more than 20 % in many more countries ) . In 2009 , leading commentators began to worry about the long - term social and economic effects of the unemployment . Unemployment levels in other areas of the world were also high , with the youth unemployment rate in the U.S. reaching a record 19.1 % in July 2010 since the statistic started being gathered in 1948 . In Canada , unemployment among youths in July 2009 was 15.9 % , the highest it had been in 11 years . Underemployment is also a major factor . In the U.S. the economic difficulties have led to dramatic increases in youth poverty , unemployment , and the numbers of young people living with their parents . In April 2012 , it was reported that half of all new college graduates in the US were still either unemployed or underemployed . It has been argued that this unemployment rate and poor economic situation has given millennials a rallying call with the 2011 Occupy Wall Street movement . However , according to Christine Kelly , Occupy is not a youth movement and has participants that vary from the very young to very old . A variety of names have emerged in various European countries hard hit following the financial crisis of 2007 -- 2008 to designate young people with limited employment and career prospects . These groups can be considered to be more or less synonymous with millennials , or at least major sub-groups in those countries . The Generation of € 700 is a term popularized by the Greek mass media and refers to educated Greek twixters of urban centers who generally fail to establish a career . In Greece , young adults are being `` excluded from the labor market '' and some `` leave their country of origin to look for better options '' . They 're being `` marginalized and face uncertain working conditions '' in jobs that are unrelated to their educational background , and receive the minimum allowable base salary of € 700 per month . This generation evolved in circumstances leading to the Greek debt crisis and some participated in the 2010 -- 2011 Greek protests . In Spain , they 're referred to as the mileurista ( for € 1,000 per month ) , in France `` The Precarious Generation , '' and as in Spain , Italy also has the `` milleurista '' ; generation of 1,000 euros ( per month ) . In 2015 , millennials in New York City were reported as earning 20 % less than the generation before them , as a result of entering the workforce during the great recession . Despite higher college attendance rates than Generation X , many were stuck in low - paid jobs , with the percentage of degree - educated young adults working in low - wage industries rising from 23 % to 33 % between 2000 and 2014 . In 2016 , research from the Resolution Foundation found millennials in the UK earned £ 8,000 less in their 20s than Generation X , describing millennials as `` on course to become the first generation to earn less than the one before '' . Generation Flux is a neologism and psychographic ( not demographic ) designation coined by Fast Company for American employees who need to make several changes in career throughout their working lives due to the chaotic nature of the job market following the Great Recession . Societal change has been accelerated by the use of social media , smartphones , mobile computing , and other new technologies . Those in `` Generation Flux '' have birth - years in the ranges of both Generation X and millennials . `` Generation Sell '' was used by author William Deresiewicz to describe millennials ' interest in small businesses . Millennials are expected to make up approximately half of the U.S. workforce by 2020 . Millennials are the most highly educated and culturally diverse group of all generations , and have been regarded as hard to please when it comes to employers . To address these new challenges , many large firms are currently studying the social and behavioral patterns of millennials and are trying to devise programs that decrease intergenerational estrangement , and increase relationships of reciprocal understanding between older employees and millennials . The UK 's Institute of Leadership & Management researched the gap in understanding between Millennial recruits and their managers in collaboration with Ashridge Business School . The findings included high expectations for advancement , salary and for a coaching relationship with their manager , and suggested that organizations will need to adapt to accommodate and make the best use of millennials . In an example of a company trying to do just this , Goldman Sachs conducted training programs that used actors to portray millennials who assertively sought more feedback , responsibility , and involvement in decision making . After the performance , employees discussed and debated the generational differences they saw played out . Millennials have benefited the least from the economic recovery following the Great Recession , as average incomes for this generation have fallen at twice the general adult population 's total drop and are likely to be on a path toward lower incomes for at least another decade . A Bloomberg L.P. article wrote that `` Three and a half years after the worst recession since the Great Depression , the earnings and employment gap between those in the under - 35 population and their parents and grandparents threatens to unravel the American dream of each generation doing better than the last . The nation 's younger workers have benefited least from an economic recovery that has been the most uneven in recent history . '' In 2014 , millennials were entering an increasingly multi-generational workplace . Even though research has shown that millennials are joining the workforce during a tough economic time they still have remained optimistic , as shown when about nine out of ten millennials surveyed by the Pew Research Center said that they currently have enough money or that they will eventually reach their long - term financial goals . Peter Pan Generation American sociologist Kathleen Shaputis labeled millennials as the Boomerang Generation or Peter Pan generation , because of the members ' perceived tendency for delaying some rites of passage into adulthood for longer periods than most generations before them . These labels were also a reference to a trend toward members living with their parents for longer periods than previous generations . Kimberly Palmer regards the high cost of housing and higher education , and the relative affluence of older generations , as among the factors driving the trend . Questions regarding a clear definition of what it means to be an adult also impacts a debate about delayed transitions into adulthood and the emergence of a new life stage , Emerging Adulthood . A 2012 study by professors at Brigham Young University found that college students were more likely to define `` adult '' based on certain personal abilities and characteristics rather than more traditional `` rite of passage '' events . Larry Nelson noted that `` In prior generations , you get married and you start a career and you do that immediately . What young people today are seeing is that approach has led to divorces , to people unhappy with their careers ... The majority want to get married ( ... ) they just want to do it right the first time , the same thing with their careers . '' Their expectations have had a dampening effect on millennials ' rate of marriage . A 2013 joint study by sociologists at the University of Virginia and Harvard University found that the decline and disappearance of stable full - time jobs with health insurance and pensions for people who lack a college degree has had profound effects on working - class Americans , who now are less likely to marry and have children within marriage than those with college degrees . Data from a 2014 study of U.S. millennials revealed over 56 % of this cohort considers themselves as part of the working class , with only approximately 35 % considering themselves as part of the middle class ; this class identity is the lowest polling of any generation . Research by the Urban Institute conducted in 2014 , projected that if current trends continue , millennials will have a lower marriage rate compared to previous generations , predicting that by age 40 , 30.7 % of millennial women will remain single , approximately twice the share of their single Gen X counterparts . The data showed similar trends for males . A 2016 study from Pew Research showed millennials delay some activities considered rites of passage of adulthood with data showing young adults aged 18 -- 34 were more likely to live with parents than with a relationship partner , an unprecedented occurrence since data collection began in 1880 . Data also showed a significant increase in the percentage of young adults living with parents compared to the previous demographic cohort , Generation X , with 23 % of young adults aged 18 -- 34 living with parents in 2000 , rising to 32 % in 2014 . Additionally , in 2000 , 43 % of those aged 18 -- 34 were married or living with a partner , with this figure dropping to 31.6 % in 2014 . High student debt is described as one reason for continuing to live with parents , but may not be the dominant factor for this shift as the data shows the trend is stronger for those without a college education . Richard Fry , a senior economist for Pew Research said of millennials , `` they 're the group much more likely to live with their parents . '' furthering `` they 're concentrating more on school , careers and work and less focused on forming new families , spouses or partners and children '' . According to a cross-generational study comparing millennials to Generation X conducted at Wharton School of Business , more than half of Millennial undergraduates surveyed do not plan to have children . The researchers compared surveys of the Wharton graduating class of 1992 and 2012 . In 1992 , 78 % of women planned to eventually have children dropping to 42 % in 2012 . The results were similar for male students . The research revealed among both genders the proportion of undergraduates who reported they eventually planned to have children had dropped in half over the course of a generation . Religion In the U.S. , millennials are the least likely to be religious . There is a trend towards irreligion that has been increasing since the 1940s . 29 percent of Americans born between 1983 and 1994 are irreligious , as opposed to 21 percent born between 1963 and 1981 , 15 percent born between 1948 and 1962 and only 7 percent born before 1948 . A 2005 study looked at 1,385 people aged 18 to 25 and found that more than half of those in the study said that they pray regularly before a meal . One - third said that they discussed religion with friends , attended religious services , and read religious material weekly . Twenty - three percent of those studied did not identify themselves as religious practitioners . A Pew Research Center study on millennials shows that of those between 18 -- 29 years old , only 3 % of these emerging adults self - identified as `` atheists '' and only 4 % self - identified as `` agnostics '' . Overall , 25 % of millennials are `` Nones '' and 75 % are religiously affiliated . Over half of millennials polled in the United Kingdom in 2013 said they had `` no religion nor attended a place of worship '' , other than for a wedding or a funeral . 25 % said they `` believe in a God '' , while 19 % believed in a `` spiritual greater power '' and 38 % said they did not believe in God nor any other `` greater spiritual power '' . The poll also found 41 % thought religion was `` the cause of evil '' in the world more often than good . The British Social Attitudes Survey found that 71 % of British 18 - 24 year - olds were not religious , with just 3 % affiliated to the once - dominant Church of England . Digital technology Three people who appear to be millennials using smartphones In their 2007 book , authors Junco and Mastrodicasa expanded on the work of William Strauss and Neil Howe to include research - based information about the personality profiles of millennials , especially as it relates to higher education . They conducted a large - sample ( 7,705 ) research study of college students . They found that Next Generation college students , born between 1983 -- 1992 , were frequently in touch with their parents and they used technology at higher rates than people from other generations . In their survey , they found that 97 % of these students owned a computer , 94 % owned a mobile phone , and 56 % owned an MP3 player . They also found that students spoke with their parents an average of 1.5 times a day about a wide range of topics . Other findings in the Junco and Mastrodicasa survey revealed 76 % of students used instant messaging , 92 % of those reported multitasking while instant messaging , 40 % of them used television to get most of their news , and 34 % of students surveyed used the Internet as their primary news source . Older millennials came of age prior to widespread usage and availability of smartphones , defined as those born 1988 and earlier , in contrast to younger millennials , those born in 1989 and later , who were exposed to this technology in their teen years . Gen Xers and millennials were the first to grow up with computers in their homes . In a 1999 speech at the New York Institute of Technology , Microsoft Chairman and CEO Bill Gates encouraged America 's teachers to use technology to serve the needs of the first generation of kids to grow up with the Internet . Some millennials enjoy having hundreds of channels from cable TV . However , some other millennials do not even have a TV , so they watch media over the Internet using smartphones and tablets . One of the most popular forms of media use by millennials is social networking . In 2010 , research was published in the Elon Journal of Undergraduate Research which claimed that students who used social media and decided to quit showed the same withdrawal symptoms of a drug addict who quit their stimulant . Marc Prensky coined the term `` digital native '' to describe `` K through college '' students in 2001 , explaining they `` represent the first generations to grow up with this new technology . '' Millennials are identified as `` digital natives '' by the Pew Research Center which conducted a survey titled Millennials in Adulthood . Millennials use social networking sites , such as Facebook , to create a different sense of belonging , make acquaintances , and to remain connected with friends . In the Frontline episode `` Generation Like '' there is discussion about millennials , their dependence on technology , and the ways the social media sphere is commoditized . Cultural identity Two women celebrate a same - sex marriage in 2007 Strauss & Howe 's book titled Millennials Rising : The Next Great Generation describes the Millennial generation as `` civic - minded '' , rejecting the attitudes of the Baby Boomers and Generation X . Since the 2000 U.S. Census , which allowed people to select more than one racial group , millennials in abundance have asserted the ideal that all their heritages should be respected , counted , and acknowledged . Millennials are the children of Baby Boomers or Generation X , while some older members may have parents from the Silent Generation . A 2013 poll in the United Kingdom found that Generation Y was more `` open - minded than their parents on controversial topics '' . Of those surveyed , nearly 75 % supported same - sex marriage . A 2013 Pew Research Poll found that 84 % of millennials , born since 1980 , who were at that time between the ages of 18 and 32 , favored legalizing the use of marijuana . In 2015 , the Pew Research Center also conducted research regarding generational identity . It was discovered that millennials are less likely to strongly identify with the generational term when compared to Generation X or to the Baby Boomers , with only 40 % of those born between 1981 and 1997 identifying as part of the Millennial Generation . Among older millennials , those born 1981 -- 1988 , Pew Research found 43 % personally identified as members of the older demographic cohort , Generation X , while only 35 % identified as millennials . Among younger millennials ( born 1989 -- 1997 ) , generational identity was not much stronger , with only 45 % personally identifying as millennials . It was also found that millennials chose most often to define itself with more negative terms such as self - absorbed , wasteful or greedy . In this 2015 report , Pew defined millennials with birth years ranging from 1981 onwards . Millennials came of age in a time where the entertainment industry began to be affected by the Internet . In addition to millennials being the most ethnically and racially diverse compared to the generations older than they are , they are also on pace to be the most formally educated . As of 2008 , 39.6 % of millennials between the ages of 18 and 24 were enrolled in college , which was an American record . Along with being educated , millennials also tend to upbeat . As stated above in the economic prospects section , about 9 out of 10 millennials feel as though they have enough money or that they will reach their long - term financial goals , even during the tough economic times , and they are more optimistic about the future of the U.S. Additionally , millennials are also more open to change than older generations . According to the Pew Research Center that did a survey in 2008 , millennials are the most likely of any generation to self - identify as liberals and are also more supportive of progressive domestic social agenda than older generations . Finally , millennials are less overtly religious than the older generations . About one in four millennials are unaffiliated with any religion , a considerably higher ratio than that of older generations when they were the ages of millennials .

when were you born to be a millenial
[ "Millennials (also known as Generation Y) are the generational demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends; demographers and researchers typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years. Millennials are sometimes referred to as \"echo boomers\" due to a major surge in birth rates in the 1980s and 1990s, and because millennials are often the children of the baby boomers. The 20th-century trend toward smaller families in developed countries continued, however, so the relative impact of the \"baby boom echo\" was generally less pronounced than the post–World War II baby boom." ]

He won the 1999 NBA Rookie of the Year Award and won the Slam Dunk Contest at the 2000 NBA All - Star Weekend . That summer , he represented the United States in the Summer Olympics , winning a gold medal . Carter emerged as a star in Toronto , entertaining crowds with his leaping ability and slam dunks , earning him nicknames such as `` Vinsanity '' , `` Air Canada '' , and `` Half - Man , Half - Amazing '' . In December 2004 , he was traded to the New Jersey Nets , where he continued to put up big numbers . In June 2009 , Carter was traded to the Orlando Magic .

He led Mainland 's basketball team to its first Class 6A state title in 56 years and was a 1995 McDonald 's All - American . Carter attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill , spending three seasons playing college basketball for the North Carolina Tar Heels under Dean Smith and later , Bill Guthridge . During the 1997 -- 98 season , he was a member of new coach Guthridge 's `` Six Starters '' system that featured Antawn Jamison , Shammond Williams , Ed Cota , Ademola Okulaja , and Makhtar N'Diaye . During his sophomore and junior seasons , Carter helped North Carolina to consecutive ACC Men 's Basketball Tournament titles and Final Four appearances . He finished the 1997 -- 98 season with a 15.6 points per game average and was named second - team All - American , First - Team All - ACC , and to the fan 's guide third - annual Coaches ACC All - Defensive Team . In May 1998 , Carter declared for the 1998 NBA draft , following his classmate Jamison , who had declared earlier that spring . During his NBA career , Carter continued his coursework at North Carolina , and in August 2000 , he graduated with a degree in African - American studies . On January 31 , 2012 , Carter was honored as one of the 35 greatest McDonald 's All - Americans , and on February 23 , 2012 , President Obama , an avid NCAA and NBA basketball fan , gave praise to Carter at a fundraiser event , referring to Carter 's game as a `` huge treat for me ever since he 's been playing for the Tar Heels . '' Professional career ( edit ) Toronto Raptors ( 1998 -- 2004 ) ( edit ) Carter was initially drafted by the Golden State Warriors with the fifth overall pick in the 1998 NBA draft . He was then traded to the Toronto Raptors for the fourth overall pick , Antawn Jamison -- Carter 's college teammate and good friend . The Raptors had struggled in their first three years as a franchise . Carter was instrumental in leading the Raptors to their first ever playoff appearance in 2000 before going on to lead them to a 47 - win season and their first ever playoff series win in 2001 , advancing them to the Eastern Conference Semifinals . Due to the NBA lockout , Carter 's rookie season did not start until January 1999 . Carter quickly became a fan favorite with a soaring offensive game that earned him the nickname `` Air Canada '' . He won NBA Rookie of the Year Award after averaging 18.3 points and throwing down countless highlight - reel dunks . Carter ascended to full - fledged stardom in his second season -- he averaged 25.7 points per game ( fourth - highest in the league ) and lifted Toronto to its first playoff appearance in franchise history . He subsequently earned his first NBA All - Star selection and was named to the All - NBA Third Team . During the 2000 NBA All - Star Weekend , Carter showcased arguably the most memorable Slam Dunk Contest event in its history . He won the contest by performing an array of dunks including a 360 ° windmill , a between the legs bounce dunk , and an `` elbow in the rim '' dunk ( also known as a `` cookie jar '' dunk or the `` honey dip '' ) . Carter and his distant cousin Tracy McGrady formed a formidable one - two punch as teammates in Toronto between 1998 and 2000 . However , McGrady was dealt to the Orlando Magic in August 2000 , leaving Carter as the Raptors ' franchise player . It is believed by some that the Raptors could have won championships if McGrady and Carter stayed together in Toronto . Carter with the Raptors in November 2000 In 2000 -- 01 , his third season , Carter averaged a career - high 27.6 points per game , made the All - NBA Second Team , and was voted in as a starter for the 2001 NBA All - Star Game . The Raptors also finished the regular season with a then franchise - record 47 wins . In the playoffs , the Raptors beat the New York Knicks 3 -- 2 in the first round , and advanced to the Eastern Conference Semifinals to face off against the Philadelphia 76ers . Carter and Allen Iverson played in a seven - game series that see - sawed back and forth . Carter scored 50 points in Game 3 and set an NBA playoff record for most three - point field goals made in one game . Television ratings for Game 7 soared as one of the highest watched in NBC 's history for a non-finals game . As the Sixers and Raptors increased their double team pressures on Carter and Iverson respectively , the game winning shot came down to Carter who missed with 2.0 seconds remaining . Iverson said of the series in July 2011 : `` It was incredible . ( Carter ) had great games at home and I had some great games at home , but both of us were just trying to put our teams on our back and win basketball games . It is great just having those memories and being a part of something like that . '' In August 2001 , Carter signed a six - year contract extension worth as much as $94 million . However , Carter began showing the effects of what would become career - altering problems with his knees in the wake of his big contract . He earned a reputation as a fragile player after suffering a series of knee and hamstring injuries . Carter missed the final 22 games of the 2001 -- 02 regular season due to injury . He started in 60 games and averaged 24.7 points per game . On December 7 , 2001 , Carter recorded 42 points , 15 rebounds , 6 assists and 5 steals against the Denver Nuggets . He joined Charles Barkley ( 1988 ) as the only two players to have ever posted a game with 40 points , 15 rebounds , five steals and five assists , dating back to the 1973 -- 74 season , when the league officially began tracking steals . He was voted into the 2002 NBA All - Star Game , but he could not participate due to injury . Without Carter during the 2002 NBA Playoffs , the Raptors were defeated in five games by the Detroit Pistons in the first round . Following off - season surgery , Carter only managed 43 games during the 2002 -- 03 season . In February 2003 , Carter gave up his starting spot in the 2003 NBA All - Star Game to Michael Jordan to allow Jordan to make his final start as an All - Star . Carter played in 73 games during the 2003 -- 04 season , but the Raptors fell three games short of making the playoffs . Trade to the Nets ( edit ) During the 2004 off - season , general manager Glen Grunwald and the entire coaching staff were fired following the team 's failure to reach the playoffs . Carter became frustrated with the Raptors ' upper management . In particular , Carter was unhappy with Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment ( MLSE ) and Raptors president Richard Peddie . In a private meeting , Peddie reassured Carter that MLSE was serious in building a contender in Toronto and that he would pursue established players like point guard Steve Nash and center Jamaal Magloire . Carter was also given the impression that Peddie would consider Julius Erving as a serious candidate for general manager ; however , it was later disclosed that Erving was never really in the mix . Peddie instead hired Rob Babcock as general manager , whose first priority in rebuilding the Raptors was to `` establish our philosophy '' , stating `` we are not really worried about how many wins we get right away , or whether we make the playoffs within the first year or two . '' He then hired Sam Mitchell as head coach . Consequently , much speculation arose whether Carter wanted to be traded . The Toronto Sun reported that Carter felt misled and felt the Raptors would never be an elite team under the current MLSE structure with Peddie as Raptors president . Some fans raised money to fly a `` Keep Vince , Trade Peddie '' banner over the Air Canada Centre just before Carter 's annual charity game . When Rob Babcock was questioned about the trade speculations , he denied Carter asked for a trade but indiscreetly revealed Carter 's agent had approached him for a trade request . During the 2004 -- 05 season , coach Mitchell often benched Carter in the fourth quarter to emphasize the new team philosophy he and Babcock wanted players to adapt to , spurring rumors of fights between Carter and Mitchell and new point guard Rafer Alston . Carter 's trade wish was finally granted on December 17 , 2004 , when he was dealt to the New Jersey Nets for Alonzo Mourning , Aaron Williams , Eric Williams and two first round draft picks . In his first game back in Toronto , on April 15 , 2005 , Carter was heavily booed and jeered by Raptors fans ; some fans were found burning Vince Carter jerseys , while many donned No. 15 baby bibs , ' FUVC ' T - shirts , and other merchandise that labelled Carter as `` Wince '' or as `` immature '' , alluding to Carter 's knee and ankle injuries and his dissent . Much like former Raptors teammate Tracy McGrady , Carter received such treatment for years to come in the town that once embraced him . In January 2005 , Carter was asked if he had pushed himself as hard as he should have in Toronto . Carter replied , `` In years past , no . I was fortunate to have the talent ... you get spoiled when you 're able to do a lot of things . You see that you do n't have to work at it . Now , with the all the injuries , I have to work harder . I 'm a little hungrier . Getting a fresh start has made me want to attack the basket . '' Though Carter 's comments were perceived by Raptors fans as his confession of quitting on the Raptors , Thompson said the comments were misinterpreted , saying , `` That boy never said to me , ' Coach , I just laid down and quit . ' ... I was embarrassed and felt awful about it for his sake , because I knew what he was communicating to me ... he was more expressing a desire of wanting to do better , as we all do . '' Despite Thompson 's defense of Carter , the Toronto Star 's Dave Feschuk in 2007 wrote that Carter `` cheated on ( the Raptors ) . He quit on the floor . '' Carter later stated his comments were misconstrued . On the eve of the Raptors -- Nets playoff series in 2007 , Carter told New York 's WFAN radio station , `` One day , maybe the fans will understand how it all went down . That 's all I can say . '' In November 2011 , Carter , along with his cousin Tracy McGrady and Charles Oakley , addressed the Toronto audience in an interview on Off the Record with Michael Landsberg . When asked about being booed in Toronto , Carter said , `` They watched myself and Tracy grow up . And when we left they still got to see ( us ) flourish and become ( who we are ) . For me , I looked at it as , a young child growing up into a grown man and moving on . And I get it . Leaving , hurt a lot of people . It hurt me because I tell you what ... I accomplished a lot , I learned a lot , I became the person and player of who I am today because of that experience , through the coaches , players , and everything else . I get it ... but regardless I still love the city . I have friends there and my heart is still there because that 's where it all started . '' Later in the interview , when asked about any words to the Toronto fans , Carter said , `` I appreciate the fans and whether you cheer for me , boo me , or hate me , I still love you . Toronto 's one of the best kept secrets ... puts one of the best products on the floor and one of the top places to play in . '' On November 6 , 2012 , in an interview with TSN Radio 1050 , Carter reiterated his love for the city and his appreciation for the Toronto Raptors organization . The next day , Sam Mitchell and Rob Babcock revealed on Sportsnet 590 , The Fan that the night before Carter was traded to New Jersey , Carter phoned Mitchell to express his desire to stay in Toronto and commit to their vision for the team . However , Babcock said it was too late and the trade had already been verbally agreed upon . Looking back on it , Mitchell feels he should have personally contacted the MLSE chairman , Larry Tanenbaum , but was reluctant because he did not want to break the chain of command . Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri referred to Carter in April 2014 as `` one of the symbols of the Toronto Raptors . '' To this day , Carter remains the Raptors ' all - time leader in points per game with 23.4 , having amassed 9,420 points during his ​ 6 ⁄ - year run in Toronto . Raptors ' 20th anniversary ( edit ) On November 19 , 2014 , nearly a decade after the trade , as a part of the Raptors ' 20th anniversary celebration , the team paid tribute to Carter with a video montage during the first quarter of the Raptors - Grizzlies game . Leading up to the game , questions were raised about how Raptors fans would receive the planned video tribute . As the sellout crowd watched the video tribute featuring highlights of Carter 's high - flying Raptors days , what began as the usual booing turned into an overwhelmingly positive standing ovation . An emotional Carter used his warm - up shirt to wipe tears running down his face as he pointed to his heart and waved to the fans in appreciation . He later stated , `` It was a great feeling , I could n't write it any better . '' New Jersey Nets ( 2004 -- 2009 ) ( edit ) Carter with the Nets in January 2006 Carter was acquired by the New Jersey Nets on December 17 , 2004 , playing five seasons for them before departing in June 2009 . Carter produced some of his highest numbers with the Nets , surpassing his 23.4 points per game with the Raptors to average 23.6 points per game over his tenure in New Jersey . He missed just 11 games in his four full seasons and helped lead the Nets to three straight playoff runs between 2005 and 2007 . Carter joined a Nets team with Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson as the leading players . However , the trio never got to play together at full strength during the 2004 -- 05 season . Carter and Kidd carried a shallow roster on a 15 -- 4 run to end the season to make the playoffs . Carter with the Nets in March 2009 In the 2005 -- 06 season , the Carter - Kidd duo co-led the Nets to 49 wins , an Atlantic Division title , and the No. 3 seed in the playoffs . Carter helped lead the Nets to the second round of the playoffs before losing to the eventual NBA champions Miami Heat in five games . Carter averaged 29.6 points , 7.0 rebounds and 5.3 assists in 11 playoff games . Carter was named an Eastern Conference All - Star in 2006 . On November 7 , 2005 , Carter threw down a very memorable dunk against the Miami Heat , over defensive stalwart , Alonzo Mourning . On December 23 , 2005 , Carter set an NBA record for the most free throws made in a quarter ( 4th quarter ) with 16 against Miami . He tied his career high of 51 points in the same game . In the 2006 -- 07 season , Carter was named as a reserve to the 2007 NBA All - Star Game , marking his eighth All - Star appearance . In a 120 -- 114 overtime win over the Washington Wizards on April 7 , 2007 , Carter and Kidd became the first teammates in over 18 years to record triple - doubles in the same game since the Chicago Bulls ' Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen achieved this feat against the Los Angeles Clippers in 1989 . Carter finished with 46 points , a career - high 16 rebounds , and 10 assists . Kidd finished with 10 points , tied a career high with 16 rebounds , and tied a season high with 18 assists . Carter finished the 2006 -- 07 season playing all 82 games , averaging over 25 points with a 21 PER . In July 2007 , Carter re-signed with the Nets to a four - year , $61.8 million contract . During the 2007 -- 08 season , Kidd was traded to the Dallas Mavericks . Carter was credited for becoming a leader following the All - Star break . He became captain of the Nets , and in 2008 -- 09 , he and teammate Devin Harris were the highest - scoring starting backcourt in the league . On November 21 , 2008 , Carter scored a season - high 39 points , including a game winning two - handed reverse dunk , as the Nets battled back from an 18 - point deficit to defeat the Toronto Raptors 129 -- 127 in overtime at the Air Canada Center . He hit a 29 - foot , game tying three - pointer to send the game into overtime and then scored the winning basket in the extra period . On February 3 , 2009 , Carter recorded his fifth career triple - double with 15 points , 12 assists and 10 rebounds in a 99 -- 85 win over the Milwaukee Bucks . Orlando Magic ( 2009 -- 2010 ) ( edit ) Carter with the Magic in March 2010 On June 25 , 2009 , Carter was traded , along with Ryan Anderson , to the Orlando Magic in exchange for Rafer Alston , Tony Battie and Courtney Lee . Orlando hoped Carter would provide center Dwight Howard with a perimeter scorer who can create his own shot -- something the Magic lacked in losing the NBA Finals to the Los Angeles Lakers . On February 8 , 2010 , he had a season - high 48 points , 34 in the second half , when the Magic rallied from a 17 - point deficit to defeat the New Orleans Hornets 123 -- 117 . Carter helped the Magic reach the Eastern Conference Finals , where they were defeated 4 -- 2 by the Boston Celtics . It marked his first and so far only Conference Finals series . Phoenix Suns ( 2010 -- 2011 ) ( edit ) Carter ( right ) in January 2011 , being defended by former teammate Rashard Lewis On December 18 , 2010 , Carter was acquired by the Phoenix Suns in a six - player trade with the Magic . On January 17 , 2011 , Carter recorded 29 points and 12 rebounds in a 129 -- 121 win over the New York Knicks . He reached 20,000 career points during the game , becoming the 37th NBA player to reach that plateau . On December 9 , 2011 , following the conclusion of the NBA lockout , Carter was waived by the Suns , meaning the team only had to fork over $4 million of the $18 million he was due for the 2011 -- 12 season . Carter had a short - lived run in Phoenix , playing 51 games with 41 starts while averaging 13.5 points while shooting 42 percent . Dallas Mavericks ( 2011 -- 2014 ) ( edit ) Carter with the Mavericks in October 2012 On December 12 , 2011 , Carter signed a three - year contract with the Dallas Mavericks .

He ended the night with 21,796 career points for 29th on the all - time list , five ahead of Bird . He also became the 11th NBA player with at least 1,600 3 - pointers . He finished the season ranked 27th on the NBA 's all - time scoring list with 22,223 career points . His 162 3 - pointers tied his career high for 3s made in a season ( 162 - of - 397 , . 408 , with Toronto in 2000 -- 01 ) . Over the course of the season , he advanced from 17th place to 11th place on the NBA 's all - time 3 - point field goals made list ( passing Nick Van Exel , Tim Hardaway , Eddie Jones , Glen Rice , Jason Richardson and Kobe Bryant ) , finishing the year with 1,663 career 3 - pointers . Prior to the 2013 -- 14 season , Carter established himself as the Mavericks ' sixth man , after the departure of Jason Terry . He averaged just 10.5 points and shot 37.6 % from the field during the first 22 games of the season due to increased responsibilities and pressure to be the team 's lone scoring punch off of the bench . He saw his numbers improve in December , averaging 12.5 points and shooting 44.3 % from the field during an 18 - game stretch . On March 16 , 2014 against the Oklahoma City Thunder , Carter raised his career total to 23,010 points , becoming the 27th NBA player to pass the 23,000 - point mark with a 3 - pointer with 2 : 17 left in the third quarter .

The Mavericks went on to lose the series in seven games . Memphis Grizzlies ( 2014 -- 2017 ) ( edit ) On July 12 , 2014 , Carter signed a multi-year deal with the Memphis Grizzlies .

On March 19 , 2018 , in a 106 -- 90 loss to the Detroit Pistons , Carter had seven points to move past Patrick Ewing into 22nd place on the NBA 's career scoring list . National team career ( edit ) During the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney , Carter performed a memorable dunk when he jumped over 7 - foot - 2 - inch ( 2.18 m ) French center Frédéric Weis . Teammate Jason Kidd said it was `` One of the best plays I 've ever seen . '' The French media later dubbed it `` le dunk de la mort '' ( `` the Dunk of Death '' ) . The U.S. team went on to win the gold medal that year and Carter led the team with 14.8 points per game . Carter admitted he channeled his frustrations in his personal life and Tracy McGrady leaving the Raptors before the Olympics . Carter replaced Kobe Bryant on the USA roster for the 2003 FIBA Americas Tournament while Bryant was undergoing surgeries on his knee and shoulder . He wore Bryant 's jersey number 8 . Carter 's selection was only for the 2003 FIBA Americas Tournament . However , Bryant later on withdrew due to a legal case he was going through at that time . Carter did not take over the Olympic spot as he felt he needed to take some time off during the summer to rest and heal and he was also getting married at that time .

Personal life ( edit ) Carter has donated to his high school , Mainland , as well as the foundation he established upon being drafted into the NBA in 1998 , The Embassy of Hope . On February 3 , 2007 , a statue of Carter was unveiled at Mainland . Carter visited with the Duquesne University basketball team in Pittsburgh as a show of support after its shooting incident in September 2006 . He is a member of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity . Carter married Ellen Rucker , a chiropractor , in July 2004 ; the couple divorced in 2006 . They have one daughter , Kai Michelle Carter . While with the Nets , Carter lived in Saddle River , New Jersey on the same street as Jason Kidd , and the two played ping pong and went bowling together . In January 2010 , Carter opened a restaurant called `` Vince Carter 's '' in Daytona , Florida . It closed in February 2016 . Throughout his career , Carter has been known for not only his dunks and scoring acumen , but for his celebrations and emotion . He celebrated explosive dunks with his patented `` Crank it up '' celebration , which is expressed by rolling his wrists as if revving the engine of a motorcycle . As his dunks became more scarce later in his career , the move has served as a tongue in cheek rallying cry , as he and other infrequently dunking players `` crank it up '' after routine dunks .

The teleplay was written by Jane Espenson , David Benioff and D.B. Weiss from a story by Benioff and Weiss , and directed by Daniel Minahan , his directorial debut for the series . The episode 's plot depicts the deterioration of the political balance of the seven kingdoms , with Eddard Stark having to deal with the Lannister aggressions while King Robert is away on a hunt . At the Eyrie , Tyrion is put on trial , and across the Narrow Sea , Viserys Targaryen is determined to force Khal Drogo to make him king .

Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 1.1 In the North 1.2 In the Eyrie 1.3 In King 's Landing 1.4 In Vaes Dothrak 2 Production 2.1 Writing 2.2 Casting 2.3 Staging and props 3 Reception 3.1 Ratings 3.2 Critical response 3.3 Accolades 4 References 5 External links Plot ( edit ) Like previous episodes , `` A Golden Crown '' interweaves action happening in multiple separate locations within and around the Kingdom of Westeros . In the north ( edit ) Bran Stark is awakened from one of his recurring dreams of a three - eyed raven with the pleasant surprise that the specially designed saddle that will allow him to ride has been finished . He goes to test it in the forest under the supervision of his brother Robb and Theon Greyjoy . While Theon is trying to convince Robb to avenge his father for the Lannisters ' attack , a small group of wildlings ( humans who live north of the wall , outside of `` civilized '' lands ) , who have ventured south , capture Bran . Robb and Theon manage to kill all the men and capture the woman Osha . Despite Theon 's help , Robb chastises him for endangering Bran 's life when Theon shot an arrow at the wildling who was holding Bran . In the Eyrie ( edit ) Tyrion Lannister is able to trick Lysa Arryn into summoning a court to listen to his confession , at which he confesses various misdemeanours committed during his life , but nothing about the attempt on Bran 's life or Lysa 's husband 's death . After , Tyrion publicly demands a trial by combat , and the mercenary Bronn volunteers to fight for him . Lysa Arryn has no choice but to allow it . Bronn defeats Lysa 's champion Ser Vardis Egen by tiring the heavily armored knight and kicking him out the Moon Door , and Tyrion is allowed to walk free with Bronn as his escort , much to the dismay of the Tully sisters . In King 's Landing ( edit ) Eddard Stark awakens in his chambers with Robert Baratheon and Cersei Lannister watching him . Cersei accuses Eddard of kidnapping her brother , Tyrion , and claims Eddard was drunk and attacked Jaime first , but she is silenced by a slap from Robert . After she leaves , Robert tells Eddard that he can not rule the kingdoms if the Lannisters and Starks are at war and insists that Eddard remain the Hand of the King , or else Robert will give the position to Jaime . Robert also informs Eddard that he will be regent while Robert is away on a hunting trip . Meanwhile , Arya Stark deals with her father 's injury and her loss of Jory during her sword - dance lessons ; Syrio Forel tells her it 's a perfect opportunity for her to learn to avoid distraction while fighting . In the Starks ' common room , Sansa Stark and Septa Mordane are interrupted by Prince Joffrey Baratheon , who apologizes to Sansa for his earlier behavior and gives her a necklace , vowing that she will become his queen in an elaborate wedding ceremony . Sansa happily accepts the apology , unaware Joffrey has been forced into it by his mother . While acting as regent , Eddard learns that Ser Gregor `` The Mountain '' Clegane was spotted leading brigands and attacking villages in the Riverlands . Realizing this is revenge for Tyrion 's arrest , Eddard orders Lord Beric Dondarrion to secure Gregor 's arrest , strips him of his lands and titles , and summons his Lord Tywin Lannister to answer for Gregor 's actions . Fearing war with the Lannisters and for his daughters ' lives , he orders Arya and Sansa to return to Winterfell for their safety . Sansa protests and mentions her desire to have the blond - haired Joffrey 's children ; Eddard realizes something and re-reads the book of lineages of the Baratheon family . Doing so , he puts the pieces together : Joffrey does not have black hair like his father , his father 's ancestors , and Robert 's bastards whom he and Jon Arryn had been researching . Eddard concludes Joffrey is not Robert 's real son . In vaes dothrak ( edit ) Daenerys Targaryen takes one of the dragon eggs and places it on a glowing - hot brazier . She reaches in and picks up the blisteringly hot egg . Her handmaiden rushes in to take the hot egg from her hands , burning herself in the process , but Daenerys 's hands are completely unscathed . Daenerys begins the ritual with the Dosh Khaleen by eating the raw heart of a stallion . After some struggle , she completes the task and stands up to proclaim her unborn son as the Khal who will unite the entire world as one khalasar , and she names him Rhaego . Viserys Targaryen grows angry at his sister 's increasing popularity among the Dothraki , but Jorah Mormont urges patience . Viserys ignores him and sneaks away to Daenerys ' tent to steal the dragon eggs to fund a new army . However , Jorah confronts him , forcing Viserys to leave the eggs behind . Viserys storms off after a tense exchange of words between the two men . Later , at a feast for Daenerys and Khal Drogo , a drunken Viserys draws his sword on his sister , threatening that if the Khal does not give him an army to take back the Seven Kingdoms , he will take back Daenerys and cut out her child . Khal Drogo agrees to give him the `` golden crown '' that he wants , and Viserys lets his guard down , allowing Drogo 's bloodriders to restrain him . Drogo melts his belt in a stewpot , and Viserys realises to his horror that the `` golden crown '' is actually molten gold , which Drogo pours on his head . Daenerys watches her brother 's painful death calmly , and coldly observes : `` He was no dragon . Fire can not kill a dragon . '' Production ( edit ) Jane Espenson received a co-credit on the teleplay of the episode . Writing ( edit ) The teleplay for `` A Golden Crown '' was written by Jane Espenson , David Benioff and D.B. Weiss from a story by Benioff and Weiss , based on A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin . The episode includes the book 's chapters 38 - 41 , 44 - 45 and 47 ( Bran V , Tyrion V , Eddard X , Catelyn VII , Eddard XI , Sansa III , and Daenerys V ) . Chapter 42 ( Jon V ) , dealing with Jon convincing Maester Aemon to allow Samwell to join the Watch as a steward , was removed from the series ( although some of Ser Allister 's dialogue from the chapter was used ) , and chapter 43 ( Tyrion VI ) was moved to episode 8 . Casting ( edit ) The episode introduces the recurring character of the wildling Osha . The writer of the original books , George R.R. Martin , admitted that this casting was different from his vision of the character . As he explains , he was surprised to see that actress Natalia Tena was being considered for the role since Osha had been conceived as a hard - bitten older woman and the actress was `` too young and too hot . '' However , when he saw the audition tapes he was convinced with the new approach : `` she was sensational , and I said , ' It 's got ta be her . ' '' Staging and props ( edit ) The scene in which Daenerys has to eat a horse 's heart was filmed in The Paint Hall studio in Belfast . There , the production built the Dothraki temple in which the scene is set -- a large semicircular structure of wood and woven reeds , inspired by Marsh Arab constructions . The heart actress Emilia Clarke ate was , according to Weiss , `` basically a giant , three - pound gummi bear covered in fake sugar blood -- which has the added attraction of drawing real flies . '' Through repeated takes , Clarke did have to eat much of the sugary heart . She said that it tasted of bleach and was made tough and gristly by the addition of valves made from `` something like dried pasta . '' Clarke did not have to act in the shots at the end of the scene in which Daenerys almost throws up the last bit of heart , as she was indeed close to vomiting at that point . The book of lineages that helps Ned realize the truth about Joffrey 's father was prepared by Bryan Cogman , who in addition to writing episode four ( `` Cripples , Bastards , and Broken Things '' ) also served as the show 's `` lore master '' and authored the background content concerning the history of Westeros that is to be included in the first season 's DVD and Blu - ray release . Cogman wrote two pages ' worth of text detailing the lineage of four noble houses . The text concerning house Umber was shown in episode four , and the Baratheon text appears in episode six . Cogman also wrote text for the houses of Targaryen and Royce , but the corresponding scenes were removed from the final script for `` Cripples , Bastards , and Broken Things '' but the Targaryen page was shown in `` A Golden Crown '' . Cogman said that he drew on the novels and the fan - created website Wiki of Ice and Fire for reference , and invented what could not be sourced , including even some Internet fan message board names as in - jokes . Reception ( edit ) Ratings ( edit ) For the first time since the premiere of the show the ratings decreased in relation to the previous weeks . The first airing brought 2.4 million viewers , compared to the 2.6 million gathered by the previous episode . With the second airing the differences shrank , bringing the total of the night to 3.2 million , one hundred thousand viewers below the previous week 's 3.3 . Critical response ( edit ) `` A Golden Crown '' received positive reviews from critics . Todd VanDerWerff from the A.V. Club gave it an A - , and Maureen Ryan from AOL TV rated it with a 70 out of 100 . HitFix 's Alan Sepinwall titled his review `` The rules get upended in a terrific episode . '' Both Elio Garcia from westeros.org and Jace Lacob from Televisionary considered it the best episode of the series so far . In the words of reviewer Jace Lacob , the episode `` revolves around changes both great and small , about the way the scales can fall from our eyes and we can see the truth that has been standing in front of us for so long . For Eddard , it 's a realization of just why Jon Arryn died , of the terrible secret he had gleaned from the book of royal lineages , and just what this could mean for the throne ... and for the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros . For Dany , it 's the brutal truth of her brother 's real nature , of his insatiable thirst for power and the twisted quality of his rampant heart . '' The Dothraki scenes that culminate with the `` crowning '' of Viserys Targaryen was acclaimed by critics . Writing for Time , James Poniewozik highlighted an acting of `` touching self - recognition by Harry Lloyd , who did an outstanding job humanizing a villain , '' and Maureen Ryan congratulated the actor for his `` excellent job of showing the human side of this impetuous , cruel aristocrat '' and `` keeping Viserys just this side of sane in all his scenes . '' The acting of Emilia Clarke , closing her arc initiated in the first episode from a frightened girl to an empowered woman was also praised . VanDerWerff commented on the difficulty to adapt such an evolution from page to screen , but concluded that `` Clarke and Lloyd more than seal the deal here . '' IGN 's Matt Fowler also praised Clarke and noted that Daenerys 's choice to watch Viserys die was `` powerful '' and an important shift in her character . Another aspect of the show that was widely discussed among commentators was the moral dilemma presented in the episode between a pragmatic approach to ruling or remaining true to the ideals of justice and honor , exemplified in the scene where Eddard summons Tywin Lannister to the court to answer for the crimes of his bannerman Gregor Clegane . Poniewozik states that Eddard `` does n't seem to consider that he has options : he is left to rule in the king 's place , an injustice has been committed , the law requires one path to justice and he chooses it . This makes his decision easy , but it may make his life , and others ' , difficult . '' According to The Atlantic 's Scott Meslow , `` Ned 's principles are , as always , admirable , and he 's clearly interested in justice . But the sad truth is that the lack of guile that makes him honorable also makes him a pretty poor king . It 's a terrible idea to order the arrest of the man who is single - handedly financing your kingdom . '' Myles McNutt , writing for Cultural Learnings , agreed with Meslow and concluded that `` the only thing more dangerous than a reckless man asserting their ( sic ) power in Westeros is an honorable man doing the same , as it threatens the delicate framework which has propped up King Robert for so long . '' Accolades ( edit ) The episode received three Emmy nominations in 2011 , for Outstanding Prosthetic Makeup for a Series , Miniseries , Movie or a Special ; Outstanding Hairstyling for a Single - Camera Series ; and Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series .

who had molten gold poured over their head
[ "Later, at a feast for Daenerys and Khal Drogo, a drunken Viserys draws his sword on his sister, threatening that if the Khal does not give him an army to take back the Seven Kingdoms, he will take back Daenerys and cut out her child. Khal Drogo agrees to give him the \"golden crown\" that he wants, and Viserys lets his guard down, allowing Drogo's bloodriders to restrain him. Drogo melts his belt in a stewpot, and Viserys realises to his horror that the \"golden crown\" is actually molten gold, which Drogo pours on his head. Daenerys watches her brother's painful death calmly, and coldly observes: \"He was no dragon. Fire cannot kill a dragon.\"" ]

The Quick and the Dead ( 1995 film ) - Wikipedia The Quick and the Dead ( 1995 film ) Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see The Quick and the Dead ( disambiguation ) . The Quick and the Dead Theatrical release poster Directed by Sam Raimi Produced by Joshua Donen Patrick Markey Allen Shapiro Written by Simon Moore Starring Sharon Stone Gene Hackman Russell Crowe Roberts Blossom Kevin Conway Lance Henriksen Pat Hingle Gary Sinise Leonardo DiCaprio Music by Alan Silvestri Cinematography Dante Spinotti Edited by Pietro Scalia Production company Japan Satellite Broadcasting IndieProd Company Productions Distributed by TriStar Pictures Release date February 10 , 1995 ( 1995 - 02 - 10 ) Running time 108 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $35 million Box office $18.6 million The Quick and the Dead is a 1995 American western film directed by Sam Raimi , and starring Sharon Stone , Gene Hackman , Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio . The screenplay was written by Simon Moore but includes contributions from Joss Whedon . The story focuses on `` The Lady '' ( Stone ) , a gunfighter who rides into the frontier town of Redemption , controlled by John Herod ( Hackman ) . The Lady joins a deadly dueling competition in an attempt to exact revenge for her father 's death . Simon Moore 's script was purchased by Sony Pictures Entertainment in May 1993 , and actress Sharon Stone signed on as both star and co-producer . Development was fast tracked after director Sam Raimi 's hiring , and principal photography began in Old Tucson Studios in Arizona on November 21 , 1993 . The film was distributed by TriStar Pictures and was released in the US on February 10 , 1995 , to a dismal box office performance , receiving lukewarm reviews from critics . This was Russell Crowe 's American film debut . This was Woody Strode 's final performance ( the film is dedicated to him ) , as well as the last theatrical release of Roberts Blossom who died in 2011 . The phrase `` the quick and the dead '' is from the Book of Common Prayer and its version of the Apostles ' Creed , describing the final judgment . The plot of this film bears no resemblance to that of the 1987 film of the same name , which was based on a western novel by Louis L'Amour . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 3.1 Development 3.2 Filming 3.3 Soundtrack 4 Release 4.1 Box office 4.2 Critical reception 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Plot ( edit ) An unnamed gunslinger known only as The Lady enters the Old West town of Redemption circa 1881 , where she enters a single elimination gunfighting contest held by Redemption 's ruthless mayor and former outlaw John Herod . She encounters the Blind Shoeshine Boy and the repulsive escaped convict named Scars , whose proposition she harshly rebuffs . That night in the saloon it is made clear that all contestants are free to indulge in whatever they want in town and the rules of the competition are explained : if a contestant is challenged they can not refuse , each contestant must fight once a day , and the fight ends when a contestant yields or is dead . While there she meets Cort , a former Herod henchman turned preacher whom Herod has captured and forced to enter the contest . During her first night in town , The Lady saves Cort 's life by shooting through the rope Herod 's men had used to hang him . She drunkenly spends the night with `` The Kid '' , a brash young man who runs a gun store and hopes to impress Herod . The Kid believes Herod is his father and that he can earn his father 's respect by entering and winning the contest . In the first round of duels , The Kid defeats a Swedish quick - draw champion while Herod kills a braggart named Ace Hanlon , who had taken credit for some of Herod 's own accomplishments . The Lady defeats an enemy she had previously left shackled to a wagon . Cort , who has renounced violence and does n't have a weapon , is taken to the Kid 's store . Herod buys Cort a cheap rusty gun and decrees that Cort ( an exceptionally skilled gunfighter ) can only have one bullet at a time so that he does n't shoot his way out of town . Despite telling everyone he would n't fight , Cort draws his gun and wins his first round fight . During a rainstorm , Herod meets with Clay Cantrell , a professional gunfighter hired by the townspeople to kill Herod . Before they duel , Herod changes the rules and proclaims that all contests are now to the death . After killing Cantrell , Herod angrily addresses the townspeople and informs them that he will continue to raise his taxes on them until they understand that he is in charge of everything . During a rainstorm that evening The Lady faces off with Eugene Dred after he rapes the saloon owner 's young daughter . She shoots him in the genitals but spares his life and returns to the bar , but Dred ambushes her and she is ultimately forced to kill him . The next day , Cort is slated to fight Spotted Horse , an American Indian who claims he `` can not be killed by a bullet '' . The Lady , still upset over killing Dred the night before , saddles up and rides out of town before Cort 's fight . Cort narrowly beats Spotted Horse after having to beg for a second bullet . The Lady is found at a nearby cemetery by Doc Wallace , who tells her that he recognizes her and knows why she is there . During flashbacks , it is revealed that the Lady 's real name is Ellen , and father used to be the Marshal in Redemption until Herod invaded , killed all the deputies and had him strung up . Herod gave Ellen a pistol and three shots to try and break the rope her father was hanging from , but she accidentally killed him . Doc Wallace tells her that Herod 's men dug up her father 's body and burned it . He hands Ellen her father 's old badge and begs her to come back and help rid the town of Herod , as she and Cort are now Redemption 's only hope . Ellen rides back to town and accosts Cort . During sex , they promise to help each other overcome Herod . Ellen directly challenges Herod but is sickened to hear that he has already accepted a fight against The Kid . Ellen and Cort are the only other fighters left and are ordered by Herod to face off . They both proclaim they wo n't fight each other , but Herod tells them he will have them gunned down by his men if they refuse . Herod takes The Kid aside and asks him to withdraw from the contest , telling him his time will come . The Kid refuses and they fight , with The Kid wounding Herod in the neck while Herod delivers a fatal bullet to The Kid who dies in Ellen 's arms . Ellen and Cort then face each other , but both refuse to draw their weapons . Herod begins a countdown from ten , declaring that if neither draws by the time he gets to zero he will have them both killed . Cort begs Ellen to kill him but she still refuses . When Herod reaches one Cort draws and fires . Doc Wallace declares Ellen dead , and Cort angrily storms up to Herod and demands they fight immediately . Herod refuses , telling Cort they will meet at dawn . Later that night , one of Herod 's men , Ratsy , chains Cort to a table and beats him severely before smashing Cort 's gunfighting hand and breaking it . The next morning , Herod sees Cort 's busted hand and gives Ratsy twenty seconds to leave town . He offers to face Cort left - handed , which Herod is equally fast at drawing with . Herod kills Ratsy with a rifle and then squares off to fight Cort . Herod then secretly tells his guards to kill Cort if he is the winner . At the moment Herod draws , several buildings explode on the street . Herod 's house and the clock tower are also blown up , and through the smoke and flames , Ellen walks back into town , having faked her death with the help of Cort , Doc Wallace , the Blind Boy , and the Kid 's stash of dynamite . Cort tells Herod that from now on all fights in town will be fair , and proceeds to kill Herod 's men who were stationed around town . Ellen and Herod face off , and she finally reveals to him who she is when she throws her father 's old badge at Herod 's feet . They draw on each other ; Herod shoots Ellen in the arm and she fires a shot though Herod 's chest . Herod raises his gun to fire again but Ellen shoots him in the eye , finishing him for good . She throws her father 's badge to Cort and names him as the new Marshal before saddling up and riding out of the town . Cast ( edit ) Gene Hackman portrayed John Herod , the film 's main antagonist Sharon Stone as Ellen ( `` The Lady '' ) Gene Hackman as John Herod Russell Crowe as Cort Leonardo DiCaprio as Fee `` The Kid '' Herod Pat Hingle as Horace Kevin Conway as Eugene Dred Keith David as Sgt . Clay Cantrell Lance Henriksen as Ace Hanlon Mark Boone Junior as Scars Tobin Bell as Dog Kelly Raynor Scheine as Ratsy Olivia Burnette as Katie Roberts Blossom as Doc Wallace Gary Sinise as The Marshal Sven - Ole Thorsen as Swede Gutzon Scott Spiegel as Gold Teeth Ma Woody Strode as Charlie Moonlight Jonothon Gill as Spotted Horse Lennie Loftin as Flat Nose Foy Josef Rainer as Virgil Sparks Stacy Linn Ramsower as Young Ellen Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) Writer Simon Moore finished his spec script for The Quick and the Dead in late 1992 , writing it as a homage to the Spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone , particularly the Dollars Trilogy starring Clint Eastwood . The writer decided the lead character should be a female . `` When you introduce women into that kind of world , something very interesting happens and you have an interesting dynamic straight away , '' Moore commented . The names of the lead villain ( Herod ) and the town ( Redemption ) were intentional allusions to the Bible . Moore considered directing his own script as an independent film and shooting The Quick and the Dead on a $3 -- 4 million budget in either Spain or Italy . Sony Pictures Entertainment purchased Moore 's script in May 1993 and approached Sharon Stone to star in the lead role in July 1993 . Because Stone also signed on as co-producer , she had approval over the choice of director . Sam Raimi was hired to direct because Stone was impressed with his work on Army of Darkness ( 1992 ) . The actress told the producers that if Raimi did not direct the film , she would not star in it . Although she had mixed emotions on Raimi 's previous work , she believed that the director still had yet to showcase his talents , feeling that The Quick and the Dead would be a perfect opportunity to `` stretch the limits of his technical and creative ability . '' Moore was also enthusiastic over Raimi 's hiring , based on his previous work with the Evil Dead film series . When Sony began fast tracking development The Quick and the Dead , the studio commissioned a series of rewrites from Moore . The writer was eventually dismissed and replaced with John Sayles , who , according to Moore , took Sony 's orders of `` making more of an American Old West film . '' Moore was rehired with filming to begin in three weeks because Sayles ' script was approaching a 2.5 hour runtime . When rewriting the shooting script , Moore simply omitted Sayles ' work without Sony noticing . A week before shooting , Sony considered the script good so that Moore described the rewrites `` a completely fucking pointless exercise . '' Filming ( edit ) Russell Crowe originally auditioned for a different role in the film before Sharon Stone asked that the actor try for the lead male role . `` When I saw Romper Stomper ( 1992 ) , I thought Russell was not only charismatic , attractive and talented but also fearless , '' Stone reasoned . `` And I find fearlessness very attractive . I was convinced I would n't scare him . '' Raimi found Crowe to be `` bold and challenging . He reminds me of what we imagine the American cowboy to have been like . '' On working with Raimi , Crowe later described the director as `` sort of like the fourth Stooge . '' Director Sam Raimi Sony Pictures was dubious over Stone 's choice of Crowe because he was not a famous actor in the mid-1990s . To cast Gene Hackman in the role of Herod , TriStar Pictures changed the shooting location from Durango , Mexico to Tucson , Arizona . Sam Rockwell auditioned for The Kid , a role which ended up going to Leonardo DiCaprio . Sony was also dubious over DiCaprio 's casting . As a result , Stone decided to pay for the actor 's salary herself . Filming was originally set to begin in October 1993 , but was delayed because Crowe was busy on another film in Australia . Principal photography for The Quick and the Dead lasted from November 21 , 1993 to February 27 , 1994 . Locations included Old Tucson Studios in Arizona and Mescal , 40 miles southeast of Tucson . Production was briefly halted at times over weather problems . Thell Reed , who was hired as the gun coach and weapons master , worked with the cast through over three months of training . To age Cort 's Colt 1851 Navy Revolver and the other guns used , Reed experimented with simple measures . `` I took them out by my swimming pool and dipped them in chlorine water to let them rust , '' he explained . `` They looked rusty and old , but were brand new guns . '' Such detail , including the nickel plating and ivory handles on Ellen 's Colt Peacemakers , was accurate to the time period . The town of Redemption was designed by Patrizia von Brandenstein , known for her work on Amadeus ( 1984 ) and The Untouchables ( 1987 ) . Raimi 's first choice as the visual effects supervisor was William Mesa , his collaborator on Darkman ( 1991 ) and Army of Darkness ( 1993 ) . Instead , Sony chose The Computer Film Company to create the VFX sequences . Pick - up scenes took place through November - December 1994 . This included an extended duel between Sharon Stone and Gene Hackman . Stone had a love scene removed from the final cut of The Quick and the Dead before the film 's release in the United States . The actress / co-producer thought the scene did not fit in with the picture 's established reality . It was restored for the home cinema releases of the film . Soundtrack ( edit ) The original motion picture soundtrack for The Quick and the Dead , was released by the Varèse Sarabande music label on February 14 , 1995 . The score for the film was composed and conducted by Alan Silvestri and mixed by Dennis Sands . Kenneth Karman and Thomas Drescher edited the film 's music .

The film eventually grossed $18,636,537 in revenue and was declared to be a box office bomb . However , writer Simon Moore acknowledged that the film performed modestly in Europe . The Quick and the Dead 's dismal box office performance can be attributed to competition from Billy Madison , The Brady Bunch Movie , Just Cause and Heavyweights . Director Sam Raimi later blamed himself and his visual style for the film 's failure . `` I was very confused after I made that movie . For a number of years I thought , I 'm like a dinosaur . I could n't change with the material . '' TriStar Pictures also showed The Quick and the Dead as an `` out - of - competition '' film at the May 1995 Cannes Film Festival . Additionally , Stone was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Actress , but lost to Angela Bassett in Strange Days . A novelization written by Jack Curtis was published by HarperCollins in September 1995 . The Region 1 DVD release came in September 1998 . Critical reception ( edit ) The Quick and the Dead received mixed reviews from film critics . Based on 41 reviews , Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 56 % , with an average rating of 5.9 / 10 . Metacritic calculated an average score of 49 / 100 , based on 21 reviews . Janet Maslin of The New York Times praised Stone 's performance and Raimi 's directing . `` Stone 's presence nicely underscores the genre - bending tactics of Raimi , the cult filmmaker now doing his best to reinvent the B movie in a spirit of self - referential glee . '' Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times criticized the film for being overtly cliché , but praised Raimi 's direction and Dante Spinotti 's cinematography . Critic and Raimi biographer Bill Warren wrote that the film `` is a very conscious ( though not self - conscious ) attempt to recreate some of the themes , style and appeal of Sergio Leone 's majestically operatic Spaghetti Westerns of the 1960s , especially the Man with No Name trilogy that starred Clint Eastwood . It 's brisker , more romantic and somehow more American than Leone 's movies . '' `` The cinematographer , Dante Spinotti ( The Last of the Mohicans ) makes the material look terrific . The lowering skies around the isolated town make it look ripe for vengeance of biblical proportions , and there are quiet satirical touches , as when a man stands in a saloon door and his shadow seems about 6 miles long . '' -- Roger Ebert , writing in the Chicago Sun - Times Jonathan Rosenbaum of the Chicago Reader observed that `` Raimi tries to do a Sergio Leone , and though The Quick and the Dead is highly enjoyable in spots , it does n't come across as very convincing , perhaps because nothing can turn Sharon Stone into Charles Bronson . '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone felt that `` The Quick and the Dead plays like a crazed compilation of highlights from famous westerns . Raimi finds the right look but misses the heartbeat . You leave the film dazed instead of dazzled , as if an expert marksman had drawn his gun only to shoot himself in the foot .

2026 FIFA World Cup
2026 FIFA World Cup - Wikipedia 2026 FIFA World Cup 2026 FIFA World Cup FIFA World Cup United 2026 Copa Mundial de la FIFA Unidos 2026 Coupe du Monde de la FIFA - Unis 2026 Bid logo Tournament details Host countries United States Canada Mexico Dates June -- July Teams 48 ( from 6 confederations ) Venue ( s ) 16 ( in 16 host cities ) ← 2022 2030 → The 2026 FIFA World Cup ( Spanish : Copa mundial de la FIFA de 2026 ; French : Coupe du monde de la FIFA de 2026 ) will be the 23rd FIFA World Cup , the quadrennial international men 's football championship contested by the national teams of the member associations of FIFA . The tournament will be jointly hosted by 16 cities in three North American countries ; 60 matches , including the quarterfinals , semi-finals , and the final , will be hosted by the United States while neighboring Canada and Mexico will each host 10 matches . The tournament will be the first hosted by three nations . The United 2026 bid beat a rival bid by Morocco during a final vote at the 68th FIFA Congress in Moscow . It will be the first World Cup since South Korea / Japan in 2002 that will be hosted by more than one nation . With its past hosting of the 1970 and 1986 tournaments , Mexico will also become the first country to host all or part of three men 's World Cups . The 2026 World Cup will also see the tournament expanded from 32 to 48 teams . Contents 1 Format 1.1 Slot allocation 1.1. 1 Playoff tournament 1.2 Host selection 1.2. 1 Voting 2 Qualification 3 Candidate cities and venues 3.1 Canada 3.2 Mexico 3.3 United States 4 Controversies 5 Broadcasting rights 6 References Format ( edit ) Michel Platini , who was then the UEFA president , had suggested in October 2013 an expansion of the tournament to 40 teams , an idea that FIFA president Gianni Infantino also suggested in March 2016 . A desire to increase the number of participants in the tournament from the previous 32 team format was announced on October 4 , 2016 . Four expansion options were considered : Expand to 40 teams ( 8 groups of 5 teams ) -- 88 matches Expand to 40 teams ( 10 groups of 4 teams ) -- 76 matches Expand to 48 teams ( opening 32 - team playoff round ) -- 80 matches Expand to 48 teams ( 16 groups of 3 teams ) -- 80 matches On January 10 , 2017 , the FIFA Council voted unanimously to expand to a 48 - team tournament . The tournament will open with a group stage consisting of 16 groups of three teams , with the top two teams progressing from each group to a knockout tournament starting with a round of 32 teams . The number of games played overall will increase from 64 to 80 , but the number of games played by finalists remains at seven , the same as with 32 teams , but one group match will be replaced by a knockout match . The tournament will also be completed within 32 days , the same as previous 32 - team tournaments . The European Club Association and its member clubs opposed the proposal for expansion , saying that the number of games was already at an `` unacceptable '' level and they urged the governing body to reconsider its idea of increasing the number of teams that qualify . They contended that it was a decision taken for political reasons because Infantino would thus satisfy his electorate , rather than for sporting reasons . Liga de Fútbol Profesional president Javier Tebas agreed , affirming the unacceptability of the new format . He told Marca that the football industry is maintained thanks to clubs and leagues , not FIFA , and that Infantino did politics because to be elected he promised more countries in the World Cup ; he wanted to keep the electoral promises . German national team coach Joachim Löw warned that expansion , as had occurred for Euro 2016 , would dilute the value of the world tournament because players have already reached their physical and mental limit . Another criticism of the new format is that with three - team groups , the risk of collusion between the two teams playing in the last round of the group stage will increase compared with four - team groups ( where simultaneous kick - offs have been employed ) . One suggestion by president Infantino is that group matches that end in draws will be decided by penalty shootouts . Slot allocation ( edit ) On March 30 , 2017 , the Bureau of the FIFA Council ( composed of the FIFA president and the presidents of each of the six confederations ) proposed a slot allocation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup . The recommendation was submitted for the ratification by the FIFA Council . On May 9 , 2017 , two days before the 67th FIFA Congress , the FIFA Council approved the slot allocation in a meeting in Manama , Bahrain . It includes an intercontinental playoff tournament involving six teams to decide the last two FIFA World Cup berths . Confederation FIFA eligible members Places in finals ( including hosts ) Percentage of members with places in finals Places before 2026 ( excluding hosts , including half - places ) AFC 46 8 17 % 4.5 CAF 54 9 17 % 5 CONCACAF 35 6 17 % 3.5 CONMEBOL 10 6 60 % 4.5 OFC 11 9 % 0.5 UEFA 55 16 29 % 13 Playoff -- 33 % -- Total 211 48 23 % 31 ( + hosts ) The issue of how to allocate automatic host country qualification given that there are multiple host countries has not yet been resolved and will be decided by the FIFA council . The United bid anticipated all three host countries being awarded automatic places . The ratification of slot allocation gives OFC a guaranteed berth in the final tournament for the first time in FIFA World Cup history . The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be the first tournament in which all six confederations have guaranteed berths . Playoff tournament ( edit ) A playoff tournament involving six teams will be held to decide the last two FIFA World Cup berths , consisting of one team per confederation ( except for UEFA ) and one additional team from the confederation of the host country ( i.e. CONCACAF ) . Two of the teams will be seeded based on the FIFA World Rankings , and the seeded teams will play for a FIFA World Cup berth against the winners of the first two knockout games involving the four unseeded teams . The tournament is to be played in the host country ( ies ) and to be used as a test event for the FIFA World Cup . The existing playoff window of November 2025 has been suggested as a tentative date for the 2026 edition . Host selection ( edit ) Main articles : Morocco 2026 FIFA World Cup bid and United 2026 FIFA World Cup bid Map of the World with the six confederations The FIFA Council went back and forth between 2013 and 2017 on limitations within hosting rotation based on the continental confederations . Originally , it was set that bids to be host would not be allowed from countries belonging to confederations that hosted the two preceding tournaments . It was temporarily changed to only prohibit countries belonging to the confederation that hosted the previous World Cup from bidding to host the following tournament , before the rule was changed back to its prior state of two World Cups . However , the FIFA Council did make an exception to potentially grant eligibility to member associations of the confederation of the second - to - last host of the FIFA World Cup in the event that none of the received bids fulfill the strict technical and financial requirements . In March 2017 , FIFA president Gianni Infantino confirmed that `` Europe ( UEFA ) and Asia ( AFC ) are excluded from the bidding following the selection of Russia and Qatar in 2018 and 2022 respectively . '' Therefore , the 2026 World Cup could be hosted by one of the remaining four confederations : CONCACAF ( North America ; last hosted in 1994 ) , CAF ( Africa ; last hosted in 2010 ) , CONMEBOL ( South America ; last hosted in 2014 ) , or OFC ( Oceania , never hosted before ) , or potentially by UEFA in case no bid from those four met the requirements . After the selection , the map of world cup hosts stayed like this . Remember that some city locations may be wrong Co-hosting the FIFA World Cup -- which had been banned by FIFA after the 2002 World Cup -- was approved for the 2026 World Cup , though not limited to a specific number but instead evaluated on a case - by - case basis . Also by 2026 , the FIFA general secretariat , after consultation with the Competitions Committee , will have the power to exclude bidders who do not meet the minimum technical requirements to host the competition . Canada , Mexico and the United States had all publicly considered bidding for the tournament separately , but the United joint bid was announced on April 10 , 2017 . The United bid contacted 48 venues in 43 cities ( 3 venues in 3 cities in Mexico , 8 venues in 6 cities in Canada and 37 venues in 34 cities in the United States ) . This bid was ultimately cut down to 23 venues in 23 cities ( 3 in Canada , 3 in Mexico and 17 in the United States ; the American venues will be cut down to 10 for a total of 16 venues for the tournament ) . Morocco announced its bid in August 2017 , and had 14 proposed venues in 12 cities . Voting results : Allowed to vote Banned from voting Voted for United bid Canada / Mexico / United States Voted for Moroccan bid Morocco Voted for neither Sanctioned by FIFA Abstained from voting Not a FIFA member Voting ( edit ) Main article : 2026 FIFA World Cup bids The voting took place on June 13 , 2018 , during FIFA 's annual congress in Moscow , and it was reopened to all eligible members . The United bid won receiving 134 valid ballots , while the Morocco bid received 65 valid ballots . Upon the selection , Canada becomes the fifth country to host both men 's and women 's World Cup -- the latter was in 2015 , Mexico becomes the first country to host three men 's World Cups -- previously in 1970 and 1986 , and the United States becomes the first country to host both men 's and women 's World Cup twice each -- having hosted the 1994 men 's and the 1999 and 2003 women 's World Cups . Qualification ( edit ) The 2026 World Cup 's qualification process has yet to be decided . The FIFA Council is expected to decide which hosts , if any , will receive automatic qualifications to the tournament . The United Bid personnel anticipated that all three host countries would be awarded automatic places . CAF ( Africa ) : 9 slots AFC ( Asia ) : 8 slots UEFA ( Europe ) : 16 slots CONCACAF ( North and Central America and Caribbean ) : 3 slots OFC ( Oceania ) : 1 slot CONMEBOL ( South America ) : 6 slots Playoff : 2 slots Candidate cities and venues ( edit ) During the bidding process , there were 49 venues in 43 cities contacted to be part of the bid . 41 cities with 45 venues responded and submitted to be part of the bid ( 3 venues in 3 cities in Mexico , 8 venues in 6 cities in Canada and 38 venues in 34 cities in the United States ) . A first round elimination cut 9 venues and 9 cities , then a second round elimination cut 9 venues in 6 cities , reducing the total number to 23 venues , each in their own city or metropolitan area . The 23 candidate cities and venues will be narrowed down to 16 in 2020 or 2021 ( 3 in Canada , 3 in Mexico , and 10 in the United States ) : A denotes a stadium used for previous men 's World Cup tournaments ( United States and Mexico only ) A denotes an indoor stadium with a fixed or retractable roof .

Infantino said , `` When it comes to FIFA competitions , any team , including the supporters and officials of that team , who qualify for a World Cup need to have access to the country , otherwise there is no World Cup . That is obvious . '' However , assurances were later given by the government that there would be no such discrimination . U.S. President Donald Trump threatened the countries that intended to support the Morocco bid to host the 2026 World Cup , tweeting : `` The US has put together a STRONG bid w / Canada & Mexico for the 2026 World Cup . It would be a shame if countries that we always support were to lobby against the U.S. bid . Why should we be supporting these countries when they do n't support us ( including at the United Nations ) ? '' Broadcasting rights ( edit ) Canada -- CTV , TSN , RDS United States -- Fox , Telemundo On February 12 , 2015 , Fox , Telemundo , and Bell Media 's rights to the tournament were renewed by FIFA to cover 2026 , without accepting any other bids . The New York Times believed that this extension was intended as compensation for the rescheduling of the 2022 World Cup to November - December rather than its traditional June - July scheduling , which falls during the heart of the regular season for several major North American sports leagues ( including the National Football League ; Fox is a main U.S. rightsholder ) .

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory - wikipedia Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory For the 2005 film adaptation , see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ( film ) . For the book , see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory . Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory Theatrical release poster Directed by Mel Stuart Produced by Stan Margulies David L. Wolper Screenplay by Roald Dahl Based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl Starring Gene Wilder Jack Albertson Peter Ostrum Roy Kinnear Julie Dawn Cole Leonard Stone Denise Nickerson Dodo Denney Paris Themmen Music by Leslie Bricusse Anthony Newley Walter Scharf Cinematography Arthur Ibbetson Edited by David Saxon Production company Wolper Pictures The Quaker Oats Company Distributed by Paramount Pictures Release date June 30 , 1971 ( 1971 - 06 - 30 ) ( United States ) Running time 99 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $3 million Box office $4 million Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is a 1971 American musical fantasy film directed by Mel Stuart , and starring Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka . It is an adaptation of the 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl . Dahl was credited with writing the film 's screenplay ; however , David Seltzer , who went uncredited in the film , was brought in to re-work the screenplay against Dahl 's wishes , making major changes to the ending and adding musical numbers . These changes and other decisions made by the director led Dahl to disown the film . The film tells the story of Charlie Bucket ( Peter Ostrum ) as he receives a Golden Ticket and visits Willy Wonka 's chocolate factory with four other children from around the world . Filming took place in Munich in 1970 , and the film was released by Paramount Pictures on June 30 , 1971 . With a budget of just $3 million , the film received generally positive reviews and earned $4 million by the end of its original run . The film became highly popular in part through repeated television airings and home entertainment sales . In 1972 , the film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score , and Wilder was nominated for a Golden Globe as Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy , but lost both to Fiddler on the Roof . The film also introduced the song `` The Candy Man '' , which went on to become a popular hit when recorded by Sammy Davis Jr . In 2014 , the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' .

Walking home , he passes Willy Wonka 's chocolate factory . A mysterious tinker recites the first lines of William Allingham 's poem `` The Fairies '' , and tells Charlie , `` Nobody ever goes in , and nobody ever comes out . '' Charlie rushes home to his widowed mother and bedridden grandparents . After telling Grandpa Joe about the tinker , Joe reveals that Wonka locked the factory because other candy makers , including rival Arthur Slugworth , sent in spies to steal his recipes . Wonka disappeared , but after three years resumed selling candy ; the origin of Wonka 's labor force is unknown . The next day , Wonka announces that he hid five `` Golden Tickets '' in chocolate Wonka Bars . Finders of the tickets will receive a factory tour and a lifetime supply of chocolate . The first four tickets are found by the gluttonous Augustus Gloop , the spoiled Veruca Salt , the gum - chewing Violet Beauregarde , and the television - obsessed Mike Teevee . As each winner is announced on TV , a man whispers to them . Charlie opens two Wonka Bars but finds no Golden Ticket . The newspapers announce the fifth ticket was found by a millionaire in Paraguay causing Charlie to lose hope . The next day , Charlie finds money in a sewer and uses it to buy a Scrumdiddlyumptious bar . With the change , he buys another Wonka Bar for Joe . Walking home , as Charlie hears people reading the newspapers ; revealing that the Paraguayan millionaire 's ticket is a fake , he opens the Wonka Bar and finds the fifth golden ticket . While rushing home , he encounters the same man seen whispering to the other winners , who introduces himself as Slugworth and offers a reward for a sample of Wonka 's latest creation , the Everlasting Gobstopper . Returning home with the Golden Ticket , Charlie chooses Joe as his chaperone . The next day , Wonka greets the ticket winners and leads them inside where each signs a contract before the tour . The factory includes a river of chocolate , edible mushrooms , lickable wallpaper , and other sweets and inventions . As the visitors sample these , they see Wonka 's workers , small men known as Oompa - Loompas . Augustus falls into the chocolate river and is sucked up a pipe to the Fudge Room . In the Inventing Room , everyone receives an Everlasting Gobstopper . Violet becomes a large blueberry after chewing an experimental gum containing a three - course meal , over Wonka 's warnings . The group reaches the Fizzy Lifting Drinks Room , where Charlie and Joe ignore Wonka 's warning and sample the drinks . They float and have a near - fatal encounter with an exhaust fan before burping back to the ground . In the Chocolate Eggs Room , Veruca demands a golden goose for herself before falling into a garbage chute leading to the furnace , with her father falling in trying to rescue her . The group tests out Wonka 's Wonkavision , only for Mike to teleport himself and become a few inches tall . With Charlie and Joe remaining , Wonka says they are not getting anything because they violated the contract by stealing the Fizzy Lifting Drinks . Infuriated by this , Joe suggests to Charlie that he should give Slugworth the Gobstopper in revenge , but Charlie returns the candy back to Wonka . With this selfless act , Wonka declares Charlie as the winner . He reveals that Slugworth is actually Mr. Wilkinson , an employee of Wonka , and the offer to buy the Gobstopper was a morality test that only Charlie passed . The trio enter the `` Wonkavator '' , a multi-directional glass elevator that flies out of the factory . Soaring over the city , Wonka reveals that his actual prize is the factory ; Wonka created the contest to find an heir worthy enough , and so Charlie and his family can immediately move in . Wonka then reminds Charlie not to forget about the man who suddenly received everything he ever wanted . Charlie asks , `` What happened ? '' to which Wonka replies , `` He lived happily ever after . '' Cast ( edit ) The main cast . Back row ( left to right ) : Michael Bollner , Ursula Reit , Gene Wilder Front row ( left to right ) : Leonard Stone , Denise Nickerson , Roy Kinnear , Julie Dawn Cole , Dodo Denny , Paris Themmen , Peter Ostrum , Jack Albertson Main article : List of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory characters Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka Jack Albertson as Grandpa Joe Peter Ostrum as Charlie Bucket Roy Kinnear as Henry Salt Julie Dawn Cole as Veruca Salt Leonard Stone as Sam Beauregarde Denise Nickerson as Violet Beauregarde Dodo Denney as Mrs. Teevee Paris Themmen as Mike Teevee Ursula Reit as Mrs. Gloop Michael Bollner as Augustus Gloop Diana Sowle as Mrs. Bucket Aubrey Woods as Bill , the Candy Shop owner David Battley as Mr. Turkentine Günter Meisner as Arthur Slugworth / Mr. Wilkinson Peter Capell as The Tinker Werner Heyking as Mr. Jopeck Peter Stuart as Winkelmann Oompa Loompas ( edit ) Rusty Goffe Rudy Borgstaller George Claydon Malcolm Dixon Ismed Hassan Norman McGlen Angelo Muscat Pepe Poupee Marcus Powell Albert Wilkinson Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) The idea for adapting the book into a film came about when director Mel Stuart 's ten - year - old daughter read the book and asked her father to make a film out of it , with `` Uncle Dave '' ( producer David L. Wolper ) producing it . Stuart showed the book to Wolper , who happened to be in the midst of talks with the Quaker Oats Company regarding a vehicle to introduce a new candy bar from its Chicago - based Breaker Confections subsidiary ( since renamed the Willy Wonka Candy Company and sold to Nestlé ) . Wolper persuaded the company , which had no previous experience in the film industry , to buy the rights to the book and finance the picture for the purpose of promoting a new Quaker Oats Wonka Bar . It was agreed that the film would be a children 's musical , and that Dahl himself would write the screenplay . However , the title was changed to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory . Screenwriter David Seltzer conceived a gimmick exclusively for the film that had Wonka quoting numerous literary sources , such as Arthur O'Shaughnessy 's Ode , Oscar Wilde 's The Importance of Being Earnest , Samuel Taylor Coleridge 's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and William Shakespeare 's The Merchant of Venice . Seltzer also worked Slugworth ( only mentioned as a rival candy maker in the book ) into the plot as an actual character ( only to be revealed to be Wilkinson , one of Wonka 's agents , at the end of the film ) . Casting ( edit ) All six members of Monty Python : Graham Chapman , John Cleese , Eric Idle , Terry Gilliam , Terry Jones and Michael Palin , expressed interest in playing Wonka , but at the time they were deemed not big enough names for an international audience . Three of the members , Cleese , Idle and Palin , were later seriously considered for the same role in Tim Burton 's version . Before Wilder was officially cast for the role , producers considered Fred Astaire , Joel Grey , Ron Moody and Jon Pertwee . Spike Milligan was Roald Dahl 's original choice to play Willy Wonka . Peter Sellers even begged Dahl for the role . When Wilder was cast for the role , he accepted it on one condition : When I make my first entrance , I 'd like to come out of the door carrying a cane and then walk toward the crowd with a limp . After the crowd sees Willy Wonka is a cripple , they all whisper to themselves and then become deathly quiet . As I walk toward them , my cane sinks into one of the cobblestones I 'm walking on and stands straight up , by itself ; but I keep on walking , until I realize that I no longer have my cane . I start to fall forward , and just before I hit the ground , I do a beautiful forward somersault and bounce back up , to great applause . -- Gene Wilder The reason why Wilder wanted this in the film was that `` from that time on , no one will know if I 'm lying or telling the truth . '' Jean Stapleton turned down the role of Mrs. Teevee . Jim Backus was considered for the role of Sam Beauregarde . Sammy Davis , Jr. wanted to play Bill , the candy store owner , but Stuart did not like the idea because he felt that the presence of a big star in the candy store scene would break the reality . Nevertheless , Davis ' recording of the film 's opening musical number , `` The Candy Man , '' would top the Billboard magazine record charts in 1972 , despite the fact that Davis initially hated the song . Anthony Newley also wanted to play Bill , but Stuart also objected to this for the same reason . Filming ( edit ) Principal photography commenced on August 31 , 1970 , and ended on November 19 , 1970 . The primary shooting location was Munich , Bavaria , West Germany , because it was significantly cheaper than filming in the United States and the setting was conducive to Wonka 's factory ; Stuart also liked the ambiguity and unfamiliarity of the location . External shots of the factory were filmed at the gasworks of Stadtwerke München ( Emmy - Noether - Straße 10 ) ; the entrance and side buildings still exist . The exterior of Charlie Bucket 's house , which was only a set constructed for the film , was filmed at Quellenstraße in Munich , Bavaria . Charlie 's school was filmed at Katholisches Pfarramt St. Sylvester , Biedersteiner Straße 1 in Munich . Bill 's Candy Shop was filmed at Lilienstraße , Munich . The closing sequence when the Wonkavator is flying above the factory is footage of Nördlingen in Bavaria . Munich Gasworks as it appears today ( building on the left ) Munich Gasworks as it appears today Nördlingen , the town seen from above at the end of the film Production designer Harper Goff centered the factory on the massive Chocolate Room . According to Paris Themmen , who played Mike Teevee , `` The river was made of water with food coloring . At one point , they poured some cocoa powder into it to try to thicken it but it did n't really work . When asked this question , Michael Böllner , who played Augustus Gloop , answers , ' It vas dirty , stinking vater . ' '' When interviewed for the 30th anniversary special edition , Gene Wilder stated that he enjoyed working with most of the child actors , but said that he and the crew had some problems with Paris Themmen , claiming that he was `` a handful '' . Promotion ( edit ) Before its release , the film received advance publicity though TV commercials offering a `` Willy Wonka candy factory kit '' for sending $1.00 and two seals from boxes of Quaker cereals such as King Vitaman , Life and any of the Cap'n Crunch brands . Reception ( edit ) Willy Wonka was released on June 30 , 1971 . The film was not a big success , being the 53rd highest - grossing film of the year in the U.S. , earning just over $2.1 million on its opening weekend . It received positive reviews from critics such as Roger Ebert who gave the film a four out of four stars , while comparing it to The Wizard of Oz . Ebert said , `` All of this is preface to a simple statement : Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is probably the best film of its sort since The Wizard of Oz . It is everything that family movies usually claim to be , but are n't : Delightful , funny , scary , exciting , and , most of all , a genuine work of imagination . `` Willy Wonka '' is such a surely and wonderfully spun fantasy that it works on all kinds of minds , and it is fascinating because , like all classic fantasy , it is fascinated with itself . '' By the mid-1980s , Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory had experienced a spike in popularity thanks in large part to repeated television broadcasts and home video sales . Following a 25th anniversary theatrical re-release in 1996 , it was released on DVD the next year , allowing it to reach a new generation of viewers . The film was released as a remastered special edition on DVD and VHS in 2001 to commemorate the film 's 30th anniversary . In 2003 , Entertainment Weekly ranked it 25th in the `` Top 50 Cult Movies '' of all time . Willy Wonka was ranked No. 74 on Bravo 's 100 Scariest Movie Moments for the `` scary tunnel '' scene . As of 2017 , the film holds a 91 % `` Fresh '' rating on Rotten Tomatoes with an average rating of 7.7 / 10 based on 42 reviews . The site 's critical consensus states : `` Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is strange yet comforting , full of narrative detours that do n't always work but express the film 's uniqueness '' . Dahl 's reaction ( edit ) Dahl disowned the film , the script of which was partially rewritten by David Seltzer after Dahl failed to meet deadlines . Dahl said he was `` disappointed '' because `` he thought it placed too much emphasis on Willy Wonka and not enough on Charlie '' , as well as the casting of Gene Wilder instead of Spike Milligan . Dahl was also `` infuriated '' by the deviations in the plot Seltzer devised in his draft of the screenplay , including the conversion of Slugworth , a minor character in the book , into a spy ( so that the film could have a villain ) and the `` fizzy lifting drinks '' scene along with music other than the original Oompa Loompa compositions ( including `` Pure Imagination '' and `` The Candy Man '' ) , and the ending dialogue for the movie . In 1996 , Dahl 's second wife Felicity commented on her husband 's objections towards the film saying `` they always want to change a book 's storyline . What makes Hollywood think children want the endings changed for a film , when they accept it in a book ? '' Animated adaptation ( edit ) Main article : Tom and Jerry : Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory In 2017 , an animated adaptation of the film with Tom and Jerry was released . Tom and Jerry : Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory stars JP Karliak as Willy Wonka and is dedicated to Gene Wilder , who died less than a year before the release . Home media ( edit ) The film was first released on DVD in 1997 / 1999 in a `` 25th anniversary edition '' as a double sided disc containing a widescreen and `` standard '' version . The `` standard '' version is an open matte print , where the mattes used to make the image widescreen are removed , revealing information originally intended to be hidden from viewers . VHS and Betamax copies were also available , but only containing the `` standard '' version . A special edition DVD was released , celebrating the film 's 30th anniversary , on August 28 , 2001 , but in fullscreen only . Due to the lack of a letterboxed release , fan petitioning eventually led Warner Home Video to issue a widescreen version on November 13 , 2001 . It was also released on VHS , with only one of the special features ( a making - of feature ) . Several original cast members reunited to film documentary footage for this special edition DVD release . The two editions featured restored sound , and better picture quality . In addition to the documentary , the DVD included a trailer , a gallery , and audio commentary by the cast . In 2007 , Warner Home Video released the film on HD DVD with all the bonus features from the 2001 DVD . The film was released on Blu - ray on October 20 , 2009 . It includes all the bonus features from the 2001 DVD and 2007 HD - DVD as well as a 38 - page book . In 2011 , a new deluxe - 40th - anniversary edition Blu - ray / DVD set was released on November 1 , consisting of the film on Blu - ray Disc and DVD as well as a bonus features disc . The set also included a variety of rarities such as a Wonka Bar - designed tin , four scented pencils , a scented eraser , a book detailing the making of the film , original production papers and a Golden Ticket to win a trip to Los Angeles . The set is now out of print . Music ( edit ) The Academy Award - nominated original score and songs were composed by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley , and musical direction was by Walter Scharf . The soundtrack was first released by Paramount Records in 1971 . On October 8 , 1996 , Hip - O Records ( in conjunction with MCA Records , which by then owned the Paramount catalog ) , released the soundtrack on CD as a `` 25th Anniversary Edition '' . In 2016 , UMe and Geffen Records released a 45th Anniversary Edition LP . The music and songs , in order of appearance , are : `` Main Title '' -- Instrumental medley of `` ( I 've Got A ) Golden Ticket '' and `` Pure Imagination '' `` The Candy Man '' -- Aubrey Woods `` Cheer Up , Charlie '' -- Diana Lee ( dubbing over Diana Sowle ) `` ( I 've Got A ) Golden Ticket '' -- Jack Albertson and Peter Ostrum `` Pure Imagination '' -- Gene Wilder `` Oompa Loompa ( Augustus ) '' -- The Oompa Loompas `` The Wondrous Boat Ride '' / `` The Rowing Song '' -- Gene Wilder `` Oompa Loompa ( Violet ) '' -- The Oompa Loompas `` I Want It Now !

The first generation model was introduced on September 7 , 2005 , as a replacement for the iPod Mini , using flash memory for storage . The iPod Nano went through several differing models , or generations , since its introduction . Apple discontinued the iPod Nano on July 27 , 2017 , citing lack of consumer interest in the product resulting in poor sales . Contents ( hide ) 1 Development 2 History 2.1 1st generation 2.2 2nd generation 2.3 3rd generation 2.4 4th generation 2.5 5th generation 2.6 6th generation 2.7 7th generation 3 Specifications 4 Supported audio formats 5 Reception 6 Incidents 7 Timeline of compact iPod models 8 References 9 External links Development ( edit ) Development work on the design of the iPod Nano started only nine months before its launch date . The Nano was launched in two colors ( black and white ) with two available sizes : 2 GB ( roughly 500 songs ) and 4 GB ( 1000 songs ) . On February 7 , 2006 , Apple updated the lineup with the 1 GB model ( 240 songs ) . Apple also released some accessories , including armbands and silicone `` tubes '' designed to bring color to the Nano and protect it from scratches , as well as a combination lanyard - earphone accessory that hangs around the neck and avoids the problem of tangled earphone cords . The current models with Bluetooth headphones have a similar advantage . History ( edit ) 1st generation ( edit ) Black first - generation iPod Nano On September 7 , 2005 , Apple introduced the iPod Nano at a media event with Steve Jobs pointing to the small watch pocket in his jeans and asking , `` Ever wonder what this pocket is for ? '' Advertising emphasized the iPod Nano 's small size : 40 millimetres ( 1.6 in ) wide , 90 millimetres ( 3.5 in ) long , 6.9 millimetres ( 0.27 in ) thick and weighing 42 grams ( 1.5 oz ) . The stated battery life was up to 14 hours , while the screen was 176 × 132 pixels , 38 millimetres ( 1.5 in ) diagonal , displaying 65,536 colors ( 16 - bit color ) . 1 , 2 , and 4 GB capacities were available . On November 11 , 2011 , Apple announced a recall on this model of iPod nano . The recall was issued due to a battery overheat issue . This recall applied to iPod nanos sold between September 2005 and December 2006 . 2nd generation ( edit ) Blue second generation iPod Nano On September 25 , 2006 , Apple updated the Nano line . The second - generation Nano featured scratch - resistant , anodized aluminum casing like the earlier Mini 's design ; the multiple color choices mirrored those of the Mini as well . However , unlike the second - generation Mini , the button labels were grey instead of matching the Nano 's casing ( except for the black Nano , which had a black click wheel ) . The second - generation Nano featured a 40 % brighter , `` more vibrant '' display , a battery life upgrade ( from 14 to 24 hours ) , and storage sizes doubled to 2 , 4 , and 8 GB models . The second generation also introduced gapless playback of audio files , along with a new search option . The 2 GB model was available in silver only . The 4 GB was initially available in green , blue , silver , or pink , and the 8 GB model was initially only available in black - red was later added for 4 and 8 GB models . Apple claimed that the second generation iPod Nano 's packaging was `` 32 % lighter with 52 % less volume than the first generation '' , thereby reducing environmental impact and shipping costs . A ( Product ) Red second - generation iPod Nano . On October 13 , 2006 , Apple announced a special edition iPod Nano ; Product Red , with a red exterior and 4 GB of storage . For each red iPod Nano sold in the United States , Apple donates US $10 to the Product Red initiative , while retaining the regular price . On November 3 , 2006 , Apple introduced a red 8 GB model , due to `` outstanding customer demand '' , again retaining the same price point of the equivalent black model . 3rd generation ( edit ) A black 8 GB 3rd generation iPod Nano . Apple updated the Nano again on September 5 , 2007 . It also is the most like the iPod Classic . The third - generation Nano featured a 2 - inch ( 51 mm ) QVGA ( 320 x 240 ) screen and a shorter , wider , heavier design , with new colors . New features included browsing via Cover Flow , a new user interface , video playback , and support for new iPod Games . Users had to repurchase games bought a month before the debut of the new iPod as they were not supported . The Nano was announced in a 4 GB version coming in silver and an 8 GB version coming in silver , turquoise , mint green , black , and Product Red . The battery lasted for approx. 24 hours on audio playback and approx. 5 hours on video playback . On January 22 , 2008 , Apple released a pink version of the 8 GB iPod Nano . Combining elements from previous generations of the iPod Nano , the third - generation Nano had an aluminum front plate and a stainless steel back plate . The Nano also sported a new Minimalistic hold switch , similar to the iPod Shuffle 's power switch , which had been moved to the bottom of the player . The 2 - inch ( 51 mm ) screen had the smallest dot pitch of any Apple product , having the same pixel count as the 2.5 - inch ( 64 mm ) display of the iPod Classic . On October 6 , 2007 , Apple released a firmware update ( 1.0. 2 ) via iTunes that was said to improve Cover Flow and yield faster menu navigation . The update was also released for the iPod Classic . On November 28 , 2007 , Apple released another firmware update ( 1.0. 3 ) via iTunes , which included unspecified bugfixes . January 15 , 2008 saw the release of version 1.1 , which added support for iTunes movie rentals , music song lyrics support and included more unspecified bugfixes . Apple released update version 1.1. 2 in May 2008 and version 1.1. 3 in July 2008 with even more bug fixes . 4th generation ( edit ) 4th generation iPod Nano . At the Apple Let 's Rock Event on September 9 , 2008 , the iPod Nano Fourth Generation was officially announced . It returned to the narrow form factor of the 1st and 2nd Generation model , while retaining and rotating the 51 - millimetre ( 2.0 in ) screen from the 3rd gen model . It was also thinner than the first , second , and third generation Nano , measuring 90.7 millimetres ( 3.57 in ) tall by 38.7 millimetres ( 1.52 in ) wide by 6.2 millimetres ( 0.24 in ) thick , and weighing 36.8 grams ( 1.30 oz ) . It had a curved aluminum shell and glass screen ( the glass screen being held in place with nothing but the shell ) . Apple claimed the battery would last 24 hours of music playback , and only 4 hours of video playback , compared to the 5 hours of the previous generation . The six previous colors ( silver , black , mint , turquoise , berry red , and rose pink ) were replaced by silver , black , purple , light blue , green , yellow , orange , red , and pink , for a total of nine , although the Product Red color was only available directly from Apple ( website and retail stores ) . Apple marketed the new colors as `` Nano - chromatic '' . Also added was an accelerometer which allows the Nano to shuffle songs by shaking it , the option between portrait and landscape display modes by tilting the iPod left or right , and access to Cover Flow when tilted sideways . Videos , however , could only be played in landscape mode . The user interface was also refreshed , adding a more stylized look in keeping with the new hardware design . It included a new voice recording feature which started automatically when an Apple compatible microphone is plugged in . It also included the new `` Genius '' feature , introduced by Apple the same day . The Genius feature automatically creates playlists based on a selected song using an algorithm built by Apple . It was additionally touted as `` the most environmentally friendly iPod Apple has ever made '' , containing arsenic - free glass and a BFR - , mercury - , and PVC - free design . It was also claimed to be highly recyclable . The iPod Nano fourth - generation was shipped in cases similar to the second - generation ones with the clear view in the front , and is marketed in three models : 4 GB ( limited production to Europe only ) and 8 GB and 16 GB . Limited quantities of an unannounced 4 GB model surfaced in various markets . Also , the iPod Quiz game was dropped and replaced with a Maze game which makes use of the iPod 's accelerometer similarly to such games on the iPhone and iPod Touch . The fourth generation dropped support for charging via FireWire . `` This change means that any dock accessories that use the dock connector 's FireWire pins to send power -- many older speakers and car chargers , for example -- will not charge the fourth - generation iPod Nano . '' 5th generation ( edit ) 5th generation iPod Nano camera and microphone . At Apple 's September 9 , 2009 event , a fifth generation iPod Nano was unveiled with reduced prices on the larger model ( at the time of release , the 8GB was priced at $149 and the 16GB at $179 ) , a larger , 56.3 millimetres ( 2.22 in ) diagonal screen ( up from 50.8 millimetres ( 2.00 in ) in third and fourth generation iPod Nanos ) , which was also wider , integrated video camera with 16 special effects , microphone , FM Radio with iTunes tagging ( via RDS ) multiple radio regions including Americas , Asia , Australia , Europe , and Japan . As well as continuing to support picture viewing and video playback , it also included Live Pause , a built - in pedometer , Nike + iPod Support and a speaker . This model also had the Genius Mix feature installed . The headphone jack and dock connector swapped locations so that the headphone jack was to the left of the dock connector . Therefore , the fifth generation iPod Nano used a different Apple Universal Dock insert than the fourth generation . The fifth generation iPod Nano had nine finishes : Silver , Black , Purple , Blue , Yellow , Orange , Product Red , Green and Pink . All have a glossier , shinier finish than the fourth generation . Just like the fourth - generation iPod Nano , Product Red and the yellow Nano were only available on the Apple Online Store and Apple Retail Store . This generation was discontinued on September 1 , 2010 . 6th generation ( edit ) 6th generation iPod Nano . At a media event on September 1 , 2010 , Apple announced the sixth generation iPod Nano , which , among many new features , was designed around a high resolution square touch - screen . The device featured a small 1.55 inch multi-touch screen with a lower resolution of 240 × 240 pixels but a higher pixel density of 220 pixels per inch , as opposed to the larger 2.2 inch screen on the fifth - generation iPod Nano . The device had a 0.39 watt - hour battery rated at 3.7 volts , giving a capacity of 105 mAh , and specified to give 24 hours of music playback on a single full charge . The device took about three hours for one full charge . The device retained the same 30 - pin dock connector as previous generations . This Nano lost the previous generation 's video camera , built - in voice recorder ( although plugging in headphones with a built in microphone revealed a Voice Memos app ) and built - in speaker , and games . It also lost support for video playback , but music videos and video podcasts ( vodcasts ) could be synced onto the device , and the audio from them would play on the device , with a single key - frame shown on the screen . It still included the Nike + iPod fitness option as well as an FM radio tuner with RDS ( Radio Data System ) . It had a black on white screen contrast option and other accessibility options . The 6th generation iPod Nano had the same price point as the 5th generation device . A firmware update ( version 1.1 ) for the Nano was released on February 28 , 2011 . The update added the ability to change songs or pause with a double click of the sleep / wake button . It also added the ability to turn the device off by holding the sleep / wake button . The user interface was also enhanced . On October 4 , 2011 , the iPod Nano 1.2 update was unveiled at the Apple `` Let 's Talk iPhone '' event at the Town Hall , 4 Infinite Loop . This update added the option to increase or decrease the size of the home buttons for easier use . The update also added a better fitness app , which had a better pedometer split into walking and running style . The update also included 16 new clock faces , which included designs like a Nixie tube clock face or an old - style clock face , and Disney - licensed designs , such as Mickey Mouse and Kermit the Frog , bringing to a total of 18 clock faces . Three more background images were also added . Although not specifically designed as one , some accessory makers produced watchbands for the 6th generation Nano , allowing it to be worn like a watch . In September 2013 , TUAW compared the iPod Nano to the Samsung Galaxy Gear , and considered the three - year - old model to be a `` better , cheaper smartwatch '' than the Galaxy Gear because of its more complete functionality in comparison , and its inclusion of a headphone jack . 7th generation ( edit ) 7th generation iPod Nanos . A 2015 model of the 7th - generation iPod Nano having the Product Red color scheme . Apple announced the seventh and final generation iPod Nano on September 12 , 2012 . The ( maximum ) internal storage capacity has not been increased compared with the previous model but only a single , 16GB version of the seventh generation iPod Nano was announced at the product launch . It has been described as the `` thinnest iPod Nano yet '' , 38 % thinner ( 5.4 mm ) than the Nano it replaces ( 8.78 mm ) , and adds the ability to use Bluetooth 4.0 wireless headsets , speakers and other devices ( such as heart - rate monitors ) . It still included the Nike + iPod fitness option as well as an FM radio tuner which works when connected to headphones or a stereo jack . On 15 July 2015 , Apple refreshed the iPod Nano , offering only 5 more subdued colours ( gold , silver , blue , pink and space grey ) compared to the original 7 jewel tones , in addition to the ( Product ) Red model . On July 27 , 2017 , Apple discontinued the iPod Nano , along with the iPod shuffle .

The 4th and 5th generation packaging mimics this packaging , while the 3rd generation used a larger but otherwise similar version of it . The initial consumer response to the iPod Nano was overwhelmingly positive and sales were heavy . The Nano sold its first million units in 17 days , helping Apple Inc. to a record billion - dollar profit in 2005 . Apple 's release of the iPod Nano as a replacement for the iPod Mini was viewed by many as a risky move . Steve Jobs argued that the iPod Nano was a necessary risk since competitors were beginning to catch up to the iPod Mini in terms of design and features , and believed the iPod Nano would prove to be even more popular and successful than the iPod Mini . Within days of the Nano 's release , some users reported damage to the Nano , suggesting that the LCD screen had become so scratched that it was unreadable , even when the backlight was on . Many reported fine scratches on Nanos , caused by microfiber cloths . Other owners reported that their Nano 's screen cracked without use of excessive force . On September 27 , 2005 , Apple confirmed that a small percentage ( `` less than 1 / 10 of 1 percent '' ) of iPod Nanos shipped with a faulty screen and agreed to replace any that had cracked screens , but denied the iPod Nano was more susceptible to scratching than prior iPods . Apple started shipping iPod Nanos with a protective sleeve to protect them from scratches . In October 2005 a class action lawsuit was filed against Apple , with the plaintiffs seeking reimbursement for the device , legal fees , and `` unlawful or illegal profits '' from sales of the iPod Nano . Lawyers for the plaintiffs claimed that the devices `` scratch excessively during normal usage , rendering the screen on the Nanos unreadable , and violating state consumer protection statutes '' . Similar lawsuits were later filed in Mexico and the United Kingdom . In early 2009 , Apple was in the process of settling a court case over the scratched iPod Nano screens . It was suggested that Apple should set aside $22 million to refund users . At the time , it required a Judge 's sign - off on the terms by April 28 , 2009 . Some commentators such as BusinessWeek 's Arik Hesseldahl have criticized the lawsuits . Hesseldahl dismissed them as `` stupid '' and suggested that they benefitted `` no one but the trial lawyers , '' but also suggested that Apple could have avoided litigation by offering `` full refunds on unwanted Nanos '' instead of charging a re-stocking fee and lengthening the return period from 14 days ( when purchased through Apple retail or online ) to 30 or 60 days . Incidents ( edit ) In Australia , an iPod Nano caught fire while being charged on a PC . Since the limited warranty was expired , the consumer was not able to get a replacement right away . In another incident , a man 's iPod Nano set his pants on fire while he was working at Hartsfield - Jackson Atlanta International Airport . Apple Inc. , refused to release a statement regarding this issue . In addition , an iPod Nano sparked in Japan in January while it was recharging . Although no one was injured during the incident , Apple Inc. investigated the incident . It was reported on August 19 , 2008 that 17 incidents of abnormal overheating with first generation iPod Nano units while recharging had been reported in Japan , including cases in which tatami mats had been charred . On August 10 , 2010 , Apple Japan released a statement saying that it would replace any iPod Nanos that overheated . Since 2010 , users have been reporting the 6th generation iPod Nano 's sleep / wake button remains stuck after months of use , making it impossible to activate the device without the help of a computer or a dock accessory . According to a technical inspection , the device uses double - sided tape to hold the button in place , indicating a possible design fault . On November 11 , 2011 , Apple announced the iPod Nano ( 1st generation ) Replacement Program , intended to address concerns over overheating batteries . Customers with affected devices can fill out a claim form to confirm eligibility for replacement . Defective devices will be replaced within six weeks and will carry 90 - day warranties . Customers who have personalized iPod Nano devices will not be able to receive personalization on their replacement devices . During the replacement process , there have been several reports of users receiving an iPod Nano 6th generation as replacement instead of the expected 1st generation device that users sent in during the recall . Because using the iPod nano 6th generation with a Mac computer requires iTunes 10 or higher , which in turn requires Mac OS X Leopard system software , Apple will upgrade the system software of participants running earlier versions of OS X , on request but this leaves users that do not have access to iTunes without a working device ( because Apple changed the hashing of the music database which prevented the 6th generation iPod Nano from being used with open source software via libgpod ) .

The Celtics compete in the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) as a member of the league 's Eastern Conference Atlantic Division . Founded in 1946 as one of the original eight NBA teams to survive the league 's first decade , the team is owned by Boston Basketball Partners LLC . The Celtics play their home games at the TD Garden , which they share with the National Hockey League ( NHL ) 's Boston Bruins . The franchise is the most successful in NBA history , with 17 championships , which accounts for 23.9 percent of all NBA championships since the league 's founding . The Celtics have a notable rivalry with the Los Angeles Lakers , and have played the Lakers a record 12 times in the NBA Finals ( including their most recent appearances in 2008 and 2010 ) , of which the Celtics have won 9 . Four Celtics players ( Bob Cousy , Bill Russell , Dave Cowens and Larry Bird ) have won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award for an NBA record total of 10 MVP awards . Both the nickname `` Celtics '' and their mascot `` Lucky the Leprechaun '' are a nod to Boston 's historically large Irish population . After winning 16 championships throughout the 20th century , the Celtics , after struggling through the 1990s , rose again to win a championship in 2008 with the help of Kevin Garnett , Paul Pierce , and Ray Allen in what was known as the new `` Big Three '' era , following the original `` Big Three '' era that featured Larry Bird , Kevin McHale , and Robert Parish , which combined to win the 1981 , 1984 , and 1986 championships . Following the win in 2008 , general manager Danny Ainge began a rebuilding process with the help of head coach Brad Stevens , who led the Celtics to a return to the playoffs from 2015 . During the following season , the Celtics clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference , and eventually reached the Conference Finals prior to losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games . In the 2017 off - season , via some trades and free agency , Ainge rebuilt the roster into a championship caliber team by creating a third `` Big Three '' era consisting of Kyrie Irving , Gordon Hayward , and Al Horford . By the end of the season , the Celtics finished second in the Eastern Conference standings . During the season opener , Hayward left the game with a season - ending injury by dislocating his ankle and fracturing his tibia . Irving went down in March and went through knee surgery . Therefore , they entered the playoffs with only Horford and managed to reach the Eastern Conference Finals , taking the Cavaliers to seven games . The Celtics lost game seven , eliminating them from the playoffs .

Brown as a team in the Basketball Association of America , and became part of the National Basketball Association after the absorption of the National Basketball League by the BAA in the fall of 1949 . In 1950 , the Celtics signed Chuck Cooper , becoming the first NBA franchise to draft a black player . 1950 -- 1957 : arrival of Bob Cousy and Red Auerbach ( edit ) Bob Cousy played 13 years for the team , 6 of them ending in NBA titles . The Celtics struggled during their early years , until the hiring of coach Red Auerbach . In the franchise 's early days , Auerbach had no assistants , ran all the practices , did all the scouting -- both of opposing teams and college draft prospects -- and scheduled all road trips . One of the first great players to join the Celtics was Bob Cousy , whom Auerbach initially refused to draft out of nearby Holy Cross because he was `` too flashy . '' Cousy 's contract eventually became the property of the Chicago Stags , but when that franchise went bankrupt , Cousy went to the Celtics in a dispersal draft . After the 1955 -- 56 season , Auerbach made a stunning trade , sending perennial All - Star Ed Macauley to the St. Louis Hawks along with the draft rights to Cliff Hagan for the second overall pick in the draft . After negotiating with the Rochester Royals -- a negotiation that included a promise that the Celtics owner would send the highly sought - after Ice Capades to Rochester if the Royals would let Russell slide to # 2 -- Auerbach used the pick to select University of San Francisco center Bill Russell . Auerbach also acquired Holy Cross standout , and 1957 NBA Rookie of the Year , Tommy Heinsohn . Russell and Heinsohn worked extraordinarily well with Cousy , and they were the players around whom Auerbach would build the champion Celtics for more than a decade . 1957 -- 1969 : the Bill Russell era ( edit ) Bill Russell starred on 11 NBA title teams in 13 years as a Celtic . With Bill Russell , the Celtics advanced to the 1957 NBA Finals and defeated the St. Louis Hawks in seven games , the first of a record 17 championships . Russell went on to win 11 championships , making him the most decorated player in NBA history . In 1958 , the Celtics again advanced to the NBA Finals , this time losing to the Hawks in 6 games . However , with the acquisition of K.C. Jones that year , the Celtics began a dynasty that would last for more than a decade . In 1959 , the Celtics won the NBA Championship after sweeping the Minneapolis Lakers , the first of their record eight consecutive championships . During that time , the Celtics met the Lakers in the Finals five times , starting an intense and often bitter rivalry that has spanned generations . In 1964 , the Celtics became the first NBA team to have an all African - American starting lineup . On December 26 , 1964 , Willie Naulls replaced an injured Tommy Heinsohn , joining Tom ' Satch ' Sanders , K.C. Jones , Sam Jones , and Bill Russell in the starting lineup . The Celtics defeated St. Louis 97 -- 84 . Boston won its next 11 games with Naulls starting in place of Heinsohn . The Celtics of the late - 1950s -- 1960s are widely considered as one of the most dominant teams of all time . Auerbach retired as coach after the 1965 -- 66 season and Russell took over as player - coach , which was Auerbach 's ploy to keep Russell interested . With his appointment Russell became the first African - American coach in any U.S. pro sport . Auerbach would remain the general manager , a position he would hold well into the 1980s . However , the Celtics ' string of NBA titles ended when they lost to the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1966 Eastern Conference Finals . The aging team managed two more championships in 1968 and 1969 , defeating the Los Angeles Lakers each time . Russell retired after the 1969 season , effectively ending a Celtics dynasty that had garnered an unrivaled 11 NBA titles in 13 seasons . The team 's run of 8 consecutive is the longest championship streak in U.S. professional sports history . 1970 -- 1978 : Heinsohn and Cowens duo ( edit ) Tom Heinsohn coached the Celtics to the 1974 and 1976 NBA Championships . Dave Cowens helped the Celtics win 2 titles during the mid-1970s The 1970 season was a rebuilding year , as the Celtics had their first losing record since the 1949 -- 50 season . However , with the acquisition of Dave Cowens , Paul Silas , and Jo Jo White , the Celtics soon became dominant again . After losing in the Eastern Conference Finals in 1972 , the Celtics regrouped and came out determined in 1973 and posted an excellent 68 -- 14 regular season record . But the season ended in disappointment , as they were upset in 7 games by the New York Knicks in the Conference Finals . John Havlicek injured his right shoulder in game six and was forced to play game 7 shooting left handed . The Celtics returned to the playoffs the next year , defeating the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Finals in 1974 for their 12th NBA Championship . The teams split the first four games , and after the Celtics won Game 5 in Milwaukee they headed back to Boston leading three games to two , with a chance to claim the title on their home court . However , the Bucks won Game 6 when Kareem Abdul - Jabbar nestled in a hook shot with 3 seconds left in the game 's second overtime , and the series returned to Milwaukee . But Cowens was the hero in Game 7 , scoring 28 points , as the Celtics brought the title back to Boston for the first time in five years . In 1976 , the team won yet another championship , defeating the Phoenix Suns in six games . The Finals featured one of the greatest games in the NBA 's history . With the series tied at two games apiece , the Suns trailed early in the Boston Garden , but came back to force overtime . In double overtime , a Gar Heard turn - around jumper at the top of the key sent the game to a third overtime , at which point the Celtics prevailed . Tommy Heinsohn coached the team for those two championships . After the 1976 championship and a playoff appearance in 1977 , Boston went into another rebuilding phase . In the 1977 NBA draft , the Celtics drafted a young forward from UNC Charlotte named Cedric Maxwell . `` Cornbread '' Maxwell did not contribute much in his rookie season , but he showed promise . Auerbach 's job became even tougher following the 1977 -- 78 season in which they went 32 -- 50 as John Havlicek , the Celtics ' all - time leading scorer , retired after 16 seasons . 1979 -- 1992 : the Larry Bird era ( edit ) The Celtics owned two of the top eight picks in the 1978 NBA draft . Auerbach took a risk and selected junior Larry Bird of Indiana State with the 6th pick , knowing he would elect to remain in college for his senior year but believing Bird 's potential would make it worth the wait . The team would retain his rights for one year -- a rule that was later changed -- and Bird indeed signed soon after leading Indiana State to the NCAA Championship game . Freeman Williams was also taken , being traded before the 1978 -- 79 season began . In 1978 , owner Irv Levin traded his stake in the Celtics to John Y. Brown , Jr. for control of the Buffalo Braves , which he moved to California as the San Diego Clippers . As part of the deal trades were made between the two franchises which resulted in many former Braves joining the Celtics . A move that irked Auerbach was a trade Brown made with the Braves that saw Buffalo 's franchise center Bob McAdoo join the Celtics in return for three first round draft picks Auerbach had planned on using for rebuilding the Celtics . The dispute nearly led to him resigning as general manager for a similar position with the New York Knicks . With public support strongly behind Auerbach , Brown sold the team to Harry Mangurian rather than run the risk of losing his famed GM . The Celtics would struggle through the season , going 29 -- 53 without Bird . Newcomers Chris Ford , Rick Robey , Cedric Maxwell and Nate Archibald failed to reverse the team 's momentum . Bird debuted for the Celtics during the 1979 -- 80 season . With a new owner in place , Auerbach made a number of moves that would bring the team back to prominence . He almost immediately traded McAdoo , a former NBA scoring champion , to the Detroit Pistons for guard M.L. Carr , a defensive specialist , and two first - round picks in the 1980 NBA draft . He also picked up point guard Gerald Henderson from the CBA. Carr , Archibald , Henderson and Ford formed a highly competent backcourt , blending in well with the talented frontcourt of Cowens , Maxwell and Bird . With Bird winning NBA Rookie of the Year honors the team went 61 -- 21 , its 32 game improvement the best single - season turnaround in NBA history . Playing strong in the playoffs , the Celtics fell to the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference Finals . Some thirty years later the Celtics broke their own single - season turnaround record . After the season , Auerbach completed one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history , garnering a pair of future Hall of Famers for a pair of first round draft picks . He had always been a fan of stockpiling draft picks , so even after the success of the 1979 -- 80 season the Celtics had both the 1st and 13th picks in the coming 1980 NBA draft . Seeking to improve the team immediately Auerbach sent them to the Golden State Warriors for both center Robert Parish and the Warriors ' first round pick , the 3rd overall . He then used the pick to select University of Minnesota power forward Kevin McHale . With the addition of star prospect Larry Bird , the Celtics ' new `` Big 3 '' put the team back on the path to dominance . Despite losing center Dave Cowens to retirement late in training camp , the Celtics went 62 -- 20 under coach Bill Fitch in 1980 -- 81 . Once again the Celtics faced the 76ers in the Eastern Conference Finals , falling behind 3 games to 1 before coming back to win the 7th game 91 -- 90 . The Celtics went on to win the 1981 NBA Championship over the Houston Rockets , with Maxwell named NBA Finals MVP . Following the 1981 -- 82 NBA season , the Celtics once again met the Sixers , and fell behind 3 - 1 before losing Game 7 at Boston Garden . In 1983 the Celtics were swept in the playoffs for the first time by the Milwaukee Bucks ; afterward Fitch resigned and the team was sold to new owners led by Don Gaston . In 1983 -- 84 , the Celtics , under new coach K.C. Jones , would go 62 -- 20 and return to the NBA Finals after a three - year hiatus . Boston came back from a 2 -- 1 deficit to defeat the Lakers for their 15th championship . Bird renewed his college rivalry with Lakers star Magic Johnson during this series . After the season Auerbach officially retired as general manager but maintained the position of team President . He was succeeded by Jan Volk , who had been with the Celtics since graduating from Columbia Law School in 1971 , serving as the team 's General Counsel since 1976 and Assistant GM since 1980 . In his first major transaction Volk made an offseason deal with the Seattle SuperSonics to send Henderson in return for their first round pick in the 1986 NBA draft . In 1985 , the Lakers and Celtics met again in the championship round , with the Lakers winning . This was the first time the Lakers had defeated the Celtics in the finals , and the only time the team won a championship at Boston Garden . During the following off - season , the Celtics acquired Bill Walton from the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for Cedric Maxwell . Walton had been an All - Star and league MVP while leading the Portland Trail Blazers to the 1977 NBA championship , but injuries had hobbled him since . Considering the talent Boston had in its frontcourt - Robert Parish emerging as an All - Star center and one more future Hall of Famers - Walton was willing to come off the bench to help the team . Considered the best passing center in NBA history , he stayed healthy and was a big part of the Celtics ' success in 1986 . Dennis Johnson was a key contributor to the `` Big Three '' title teams of the 1980s . In 1985 -- 86 , the Celtics fielded one of the best teams in NBA history . The team went 67 - 15 , winning all but one game at home . Bird won his third consecutive MVP award and Walton took home the Sixth Man of the Year Award . The Celtics defeated the Houston Rockets in the NBA Finals in six games , the franchise 's 16th championship and last of the 20th century . The Celtics won the second pick in the 1986 NBA draft after a remarkably poor year by the Seattle Supersonics , whose draft pick rights had been included in the 1984 trade of Gerald Henderson . They drafted University of Maryland star Len Bias , one of the most heralded prospects of his era . Bias died 48 hours later of an accidental cocaine overdose . Despite the loss the Celtics remained competitive in 1986 -- 87 , going 59 -- 23 and again winning the Eastern Conference Championship . Injuries to key players led to a Lakers series win in six games . In 1988 , the Celtics lost in six games to future champion Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals . Following the season , head coach K.C. Jones retired and was replaced by assistant Jimmy Rodgers . Boston 's hopes for 1988 -- 89 faded when only 6 games into the season Larry Bird underwent a procedure to remove bone spurs in his feet . Bird did not play until after the All - Star Break , and the Celtics won just 42 games before a first round playoff defeat to the Detroit Pistons , who would go on to win the championship . Bird returned in 1989 -- 90 and led the Celtics to a 52 -- 30 record . In the playoffs the Celtics collapsed after winning the first two games in a best - of - five series against the New York Knicks , losing 3 straight , including the decisive fifth game at Boston Garden . Rodgers was consequently fired and replaced by assistant coach and former Celtics ' player Chris Ford . Under Ford 's leadership the Celtics improved to 56 -- 26 in 1990 -- 91 , recapturing the Atlantic Division title even though Bird missed 22 games with several injuries . The Celtics again lost to the Detroit Pistons , this time in the Conference Semifinals . In 1992 , a late season rally allowed a 51 -- 31 Celtics team to catch the New York Knicks and repeat as Atlantic Division champions . After sweeping the Indiana Pacers in the first round , the Celtics lost a seven - game Eastern Conference Semifinals series to the Cleveland Cavaliers . Back injuries limited Bird to only 45 regular season games , and just four of ten in the playoffs . After thirteen NBA seasons and a gold medal at the Barcelona Olympics with the Dream Team , continued back trouble led Bird to retire in 1992 . The Celtics ' struggle to maintain roster continuity with a salary cap led the NBA and NBPA to create the `` Bird exception , '' which allows teams to exceed the salary cap to re-sign players they 've drafted , at an amount up to the maximum salary . 1993 -- 1998 : rebuilding ( edit ) The loss of Bird and aging of the team 's other veteran stars forced coach Chris Ford into rebuilding mode . Hopes centered on 26 - year - old Reggie Lewis , a small forward out of Boston 's Northeastern University . In the first round of the 1993 playoffs Lewis fainted during Boston 's four - game sweep by the Charlotte Hornets . An examination revealed heart problems , but Lewis was able to get doctors to clear him for a comeback . Before he could make it he died of a heart attack while shooting baskets at Brandeis University during the offseason . The Celtics honored his memory by retiring his number 35 . With Kevin McHale having retired after the Celtics ' playoff loss to the Hornets , Boston 's original Big 3 era came to an end in 1994 upon Robert Parish 's signing with Charlotte . The team collapsed , finishing out of the playoffs with a 32 -- 50 mark . In 1994 , the Celtics hired former player and legendary towel - waving cheerleader M.L. Carr as the team 's new V.P. of Basketball Operations . Working alongside G.M. Jan Volk , Carr selected University of North Carolina star Eric Montross with Boston 's first round pick in the 1994 NBA draft . Montross became the new heir apparent in the paint , but failed to develop and was eventually traded . 1994 -- 95 was the Celtics ' final season in the Boston Garden . The Celtics signed aging Dominique Wilkins as a free agent , who led the team in scoring with 17.8 PPG . Second - year player Dino Rađa , a power forward from Croatia , added an interior presence the team had been lacking in 1993 -- 94 . The Celtics made the playoffs , losing to the heavily favored Orlando Magic in 4 games . In 1995 , the Celtics moved from the Boston Garden to the Fleet Center ( later TD BankNorth , then TD Garden ) . Carr fired Chris Ford and took the coaching reins himself . After drafting Providence College star Eric Williams , the Celtics struggled to a 33 -- 49 record . Things got worse in 1996 -- 97 as the Celtics lost a franchise record 67 games , setting an unwanted NBA record winning only once against other Atlantic Division teams and just fifteen victories overall . In spite of the emergence of 1st - round draft pick Antoine Walker Carr 's coaching stint was deemed a failure , and he took another job in the organization when owner Paul Gaston convinced star college coach Rick Pitino to join the franchise as the team 's president , director of basketball operations , and head coach . Pitino 's appointment as team president was controversial as Auerbach , the incumbent who had filled that role for more than 25 years , first heard about the change from local media . Unfortunately for the franchise , Pitino was not the savior everyone hoped he 'd be . Auerbach bore the insult of being elbowed out with dignity , even as the team failed to improve . The Celtics received the third and sixth draft picks in the 1997 NBA draft , and used the picks to select a brand new backcourt through Chauncey Billups and Ron Mercer . The young team that lost 67 games the year before was dismantled , with David Wesley , Dino Rađa and Rick Fox being let go , and Williams traded to the Denver Nuggets for a pair of second round draft picks ( Williams would return to the Celtics in 1999 and played for four years ) . Walter McCarty was also acquired in a trade with the Knicks . With a promising start , upsetting the defending champions Chicago Bulls at home on opening night , and hard play from the youngsters that led to leaderships in turnovers and steals , the team improved its victories from 15 to 36 despite many losing streaks . Billups was subsequently traded to the Raptors during his rookie year , and Mercer was traded to the Nuggets during his third season . 1998 -- 2013 : the Paul Pierce era ( edit ) Paul Pierce was drafted 10th overall in the 1998 NBA draft , going on to win the 2008 NBA Finals MVP award . The following year in the 1998 NBA draft , the Celtics drafted Paul Pierce , a college star who had been expected to be drafted much earlier than the Celtics ' 10th overall pick . Pierce had an immediate impact during the lockout - shortened 1998 -- 99 NBA season , averaging 19.5 points and being named Rookie of The Month in February as he led the league in steals . However , the Celtics continued to struggle as Pitino failed to achieve meaningful success . After Boston lost to the Toronto Raptors on March 1 , 2000 , on a buzzer - beater by Vince Carter , Pitino delivered the memorable `` Larry Bird is not walking through that door , fans '' speech . He resigned in January 2001 . Following the resignation of Rick Pitino , the Celtics saw modest improvement under coach Jim O'Brien . Paul Pierce matured into an NBA star and was ably complemented by Antoine Walker and the other players acquired over the years . While the team was 12 -- 21 when Pitino left , O'Brien's record to finish the season was 24 -- 24 . Following the 2000 -- 01 season O'Brien was given the job of head coach on a permanent basis . As a result of numerous trades , the Celtics had three picks in the 2001 NBA draft . They selected Joe Johnson , Joe Forte , and Kedrick Brown . Only Johnson managed to succeed in the NBA , becoming a perennial All - Star after leaving the Celtics . The Celtics entered the 2001 -- 02 season with low expectations . The team 's success in the latter stages of 2000 -- 01 was largely forgotten , and critics were surprised when the team , along with the New Jersey Nets , surged to the top of the Atlantic Division ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers , who were fresh off a trip to the NBA Finals . The Celtics won a hard - fought 5 - game series with the 76ers in the first round , 3 -- 2 . Pierce scored 46 points in the series - clinching blowout at the Fleet Center . In the Conference Semifinals , the Celtics defeated the favored Detroit Pistons 4 -- 1 . In their first trip to the Eastern Conference Finals since 1988 , the Celtics jumped out to a 2 -- 1 series lead over the Nets , after rallying from 21 points down in the fourth quarter to win Game 3 , but would lose the next three games to fall 4 -- 2 . In 2003 , the Celtics were sold by owner Paul Gaston to Boston Basketball Partners L.L.C. , led by H. Irving Grousbeck , Wycliffe Grousbeck and Steve Pagliuca . The team made it back to the playoffs but were swept by the Nets in the second round , despite bringing Game 4 to double overtime . Before their elimination , the team hired former Celtics ' guard Danny Ainge as general manager , moving Chris Wallace to another position in the organization . Ainge believed the team had reached its peak and promptly sent Antoine Walker to the Dallas Mavericks ( along with Tony Delk ) . In return , the Celtics received the often - injured Raef LaFrentz , Chris Mills , Jiří Welsch , and a first - round pick in 2004 . The Celtics made the playoffs , only to be swept in the first round by the Indiana Pacers , losing all 4 games by blowout margins . Head coach Doc Rivers led the Celtics to an NBA title in 2008 . 2004 -- 2007 : the `` Doc '' is here ( edit ) The Celtics were a young team under new coach Doc Rivers during the 2004 -- 05 season , having drafted youngsters Al Jefferson , Delonte West and Tony Allen in the 2004 Draft . Yet they seemed to have a core of good young players , led by Pierce and rookie Al Jefferson , to go along with a group of able veterans . The Celtics went 45 -- 37 and won their first Atlantic Division title since 1991 -- 92 , receiving a boost from returning star Antoine Walker in mid-season . The Pacers defeated them in the first round yet again , with the series culminating in an embarrassing 27 - point loss in Game 7 at the Fleet Center . After the season Walker was traded again , this time to the Miami Heat . Despite Pierce 's career season , in which he averaged career - highs in points ( 26.8 ) , the Celtics missed the playoffs with a 33 -- 49 record , owing largely to a young roster and constant roster shuffling , which saw the likes of Marcus Banks , Ricky Davis and Mark Blount traded for underachieving former first - overall pick Michael Olowokandi and former all - star Wally Szczerbiak . The Celtics continued to rebuild in the 2006 NBA draft . The Celtics selected Kentucky point guard Rajon Rondo , who was to become a key piece in the team 's revival . In the second round the Celtics added Leon Powe . The 2006 -- 07 season was a gloomy one for the franchise , starting with the death of Red Auerbach at 89 . Auerbach was one of the few remaining people who had been a part of the NBA since its inception in 1946 . The Celtics went 2 -- 22 from late December 2006 through early February 2007 after losing Pierce to injury , the result of a stress reaction in his left foot . At first , the Celtics received a much needed boost from guard Tony Allen but he tore his ACL and MCL on a needless dunk attempt after the whistle . The Celtics compiled a record of 24 -- 58 , second - worst in the NBA , including a franchise record 18 - game losing streak . At the end of the season , the Celtics , with the second worst record in the NBA , were at least hopeful that they could secure a high draft pick and select either Greg Oden or Kevin Durant to help rebuild the franchise , but the Celtics fell to fifth in the Draft Lottery . 2007 -- 2012 : the New `` Big three '' : Pierce , Allen , and Garnett ( edit ) The Boston Celtics celebrate after winning the 2008 NBA championship The 17th championship banner was raised above the TD Garden rafters on October 28 , 2008 . In the summer of 2007 , GM Danny Ainge made a series of moves that returned the Celtics to prominence . On draft night , he traded the No. 5 pick Jeff Green , Wally Szczerbiak and Delonte West to Seattle for perennial all - star Ray Allen and Seattle 's second - round pick which the team used to select LSU 's Glen `` Big Baby '' Davis . Then the Celtics traded Ryan Gomes , Gerald Green , Al Jefferson , Theo Ratliff , and Sebastian Telfair to Minnesota , where Ainge 's former teammate Kevin McHale was the G.M. , and swapped 2009 first round draft picks , for MVP Kevin Garnett . These moves created the `` Boston Three Party '' ( the nickname given to describe the combining of Allen , Garnett , and Pierce by Scott Van Pelt in a `` This Is Sportscenter '' commercial ) , which would revitalize the team and lead them back to glory . The Celtics completed the largest single - season turnaround in NBA history . The new `` Big Three '' of Pierce , Allen and Garnett went 66 -- 16 in the regular season , a 42 - game improvement . However , the team struggled initially in the playoffs . The Atlanta Hawks took them to seven games in the first round , as did the Cleveland Cavaliers in the conference semifinals . The Celtics defeated the Detroit Pistons in six games of the Eastern Conference Finals , winning two road games . In the 2008 NBA Finals , the Celtics faced MVP Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers for the 11th time , the first time since 1987 . The Celtics won Game 1 at home 98 -- 88 , fueled by strong play by Garnett and Pierce 's dramatic comeback from a second half knee injury . They would also go on to win Game 2 108 -- 102 , despite nearly blowing a 24 - point lead in the fourth quarter . As the series shifted to Los Angeles , the Lakers stifled Pierce and Garnett in Game 3 and won 87 -- 81 . However , the Celtics would overcome a 24 - point deficit in Game 4 to win 97 -- 91 , the largest comeback in NBA Finals history . After again blowing a large lead , the Lakers hung on to win Game 5 103 -- 98 , sending the series back to Boston . In Game 6 , the Celtics overpowered the Lakers , winning 131 -- 92 , clinching their 17th NBA title , and first since 1986 . It remains the most win in a championship - clinching game ; Paul Pierce was named Finals MVP . The win in Game 6 was a sense of relief , as it was a difficult path to this championship ; in that game , these Celtics set a record for most games a team had ever played in a postseason , with 26 , surpassing the 1994 New York Knicks , whom Coach Doc Rivers played for , and the 2005 Detroit Pistons , each of whom played 25 , but lost their respective finals in seven games ( Knicks in 1994 , Pistons in 2005 ) . The Celtics during the 2008 -- 09 season opener : ( L-R ) Paul Pierce , Kevin Garnett , Eddie House , Kendrick Perkins and Ray Allen The 2008 -- 09 Celtics started off the season at 27 -- 2 , the then - best starting record in NBA history . They also had a pair of 10 + game winning streaks including a franchise record 19 - game streak . After the All Star Break , Kevin Garnett was injured in a loss against the Utah Jazz , missing the last 25 games of the season . Garnett was eventually shelved for the playoffs . The 2009 Celtics still finished with 62 victories , but their playoff run would end against the Magic in the second round , losing in seven games after leading 3 -- 2 , the first such occurrence in team history . In the prior round they were pushed to a Game 7 against the Chicago Bulls , with four of those games went to overtime , yet the Celtics ' experience was too much for the young Bulls . The following year , with the return of Garnett from injury and the additions of Rasheed Wallace and Marquis Daniels , the Celtics started the season 23 -- 5 and at one point had the best record in the NBA . However , Doc Rivers decided to lessen his aging stars ' minutes to keep them fresh for the playoffs . As a result , the Celtics sputtered to an even 27 -- 27 record the rest of the way and finished the 2009 -- 10 regular season with a 50 -- 32 record , with a better road ( 26 -- 15 ) than home ( 24 -- 17 ) record . Despite previous predictions the Celtics would never go deeper into the playoffs , the Celtics still managed to make the NBA Finals despite their lowly fourth seeding . They defeated the Miami Heat in five games , upset the top - seeded Cavaliers in six games and toppled the defending Eastern champion Magic , avenging their loss from the previous season . Rajon Rondo emerged as a bonafide superstar during post-season play , continuing his rise to fame beginning with his first All - Star appearance . For the 12th time , their opponent were the Lakers . After taking a 3 -- 2 lead heading into Los Angeles for Game 6 , the Celtics appeared poised to win their 18th title . But Kendrick Perkins , the team 's starting center , suffered a severe knee injury early in Game 6 , and the Celtics would lose Game 6 , and go on to blow a 13 - point lead in Game 7 . After speculation coach Doc Rivers would resign to spend more time with his family , he affirmed on June 30 , 2010 , that he would return to the team for the 2010 -- 11 season . During the 2010 off season , with Perkins expected to be out until February 2011 , the Celtics signed two former All - Star centers , Shaquille O'Neal and Jermaine O'Neal , along with Turkish center Semih Erden , their 2008 second round pick , and the return of Delonte West . Shaquille O'Neal's presence wound up leading to Perkins departure : the Celtics were 33 -- 10 in games Perkins had missed during the year due to injury , with a 19 -- 3 record with O'Neal played over 20 minutes . Consequently , Perkins was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder in February , when the Celtics were 41 -- 14 and held the Eastern Conference leaderboard despite another rash of injuries . Following the trade , however , they proceeded to win only 15 of their final 27 games to finish with a 56 -- 26 record , sliding to the third seed , due to the injuries -- O'Neal played only five minutes -- and difficult adjustment of new Celtics such as Jeff Green , Nenad Krstić and Carlos Arroyo . The 2010 -- 11 season still provided three landmarks : the Celtics became the second team to reach 3,000 victories , Paul Pierce became the third Celtic to score 20,000 points after Larry Bird and John Havlicek , and Ray Allen broke the NBA record for most three - pointers made in a career . The 2011 NBA Playoffs started with the Celtics sweeping the New York Knicks 4 -- 0 in the opening round , but in the second round they were ousted by eventual Eastern champions Miami Heat in five games . Shaquille O'Neal , limited to 12 minutes in two games of the second round , retired at the end of the season . At the 2011 NBA draft , the Celtics acquired two Purdue teammates , JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore . During the short preseason following the 2011 NBA lockout , the Celtics signed free agents Marquis Daniels , Chris Wilcox , Keyon Dooling and Greg Stiemsma , while acquiring Brandon Bass from the Magic for Glen Davis and Von Wafer . They also re-signed Jeff Green , only to have it voided after a physical revealed that Green was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm , forcing him to miss the season . The Celtics started the season 0 -- 3 with Paul Pierce out with a heel injury and his replacement Mickaël Piétrus taking long to debut . The struggles let to the longest losing streak in the `` Big Three '' era with five games , and by the All Star break , the Celtics were below . 500 with a 15 -- 17 record . However , they were one of the hottest teams after the break , going 24 -- 10 the rest of the year and winning their 5th division title in a row . The Celtics would end up making the playoffs as the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference in the 2012 NBA Playoffs . In the playoffs , the Celtics faced the Atlanta Hawks in the first round , beating them in six games led by strong play from Pierce and Garnett . In the Conference Semifinals the Celtics faced the Philadelphia 76ers led by Doug Collins and a young group of promising players that would push the Celtics into a full - seven game series . Following a Game 7 85 -- 75 win the Celtics faced the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals , who had defeated them in the playoffs the previous year . After losing the first two games in Miami , Boston fought back and won the next three games . With the possibility of closing the series at home , the C suffered a blowout loss at the TD Garden of 98 -- 79 , taking the series back to Miami for Game 7 , where the Celtics built an early lead but eventually lost 101 -- 88 ; Miami would go on to defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Finals . Rajon Rondo became the Celtics ' leader after the new `` Big Three '' left . The 2012 offseason started with the Celtics having only six players under contract . While Kevin Garnett renewed , Ray Allen chose to sign with the Miami Heat for less money , bringing the five - year `` Big Three '' era to a somewhat acrimonious end . The Celtics also signed free agents Jason Terry , Jason Collins , Darko Miličić and Leandro Barbosa ; acquired Courtney Lee in a three - team sign and trade -- where Johnson , Moore , Sean Williams and a future second round pick were sent to the Houston Rockets and the Portland Trail Blazers got Sasha Pavlovic ; drafted three players , Jared Sullinger , Fab Melo and Kris Joseph ; and renewed with Brandon Bass along with Chris Wilcox and Jeff Green , who both were returning to play after sustaining season - ending heart ailments . Despite losing Rondo and Sullinger to injury , the Celtics compiled a seven - game winning streak , including victories over the Heat in double overtime and the Nuggets in triple overtime . The winning streak was snapped on February 12 when Leandro Barbosa suffered a season - ending torn ACL . To compensate , the Celtics signed swingman Terrence Williams , forwards D.J. White and Shavlik Randolph , and traded Barbosa and Collins to the Washington Wizards in exchange for guard Jordan Crawford . The Celtics finished the season with 41 wins , but played only 81 games after a home game against the Indiana Pacers on April 16 was cancelled following the Boston Marathon bombings ; the game was not made up with both teams already assured of their playoff positions . The 41 wins were the lowest totals the Celtics achieved as a playoff - bound team since 2004 . The Celtics trailed 3 -- 0 to the New York Knicks in the first round of the 2013 NBA Playoffs , before losing the series in six games . In Game 6 , the Celtics nearly completed a comeback when they went on a 20 -- 0 run to cut the lead to 4 , but that was the closest they got as the New York Knicks would take over to win . During the offseason , head coach Doc Rivers was allowed out of his contract and left to coach the Los Angeles Clippers , giving the Celtics a 2015 unprotected first round pick as compensation . A few days later , Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett ( after waiving his no - trade clause ) , along with Jason Terry and D.J. White , were traded to the Brooklyn Nets for Keith Bogans , MarShon Brooks , Kris Humphries , Kris Joseph , Gerald Wallace , and three future first - round draft picks ( 2014 , 2016 , 2018 ) , with the right to swap 2017 first - round picks with Brooklyn . The deal was later approved by the league on July 12 , 2013 , effectively ending the ' Big 3 ' era and marking the start of a youth movement for the team . 2013 -- present : Brad Stevens era ( edit ) Brad Stevens is the Celtics ' current head coach . On July 3 , 2013 , the Celtics announced that Brad Stevens , the head coach of Butler University , would replace Doc Rivers as head coach . Halfway through the season , in January , Rajon Rondo made his return and was named the 15th Team Captain in team history , and the team furthered the youth movement by acquiring two draft picks in a three team trade that sent Jordan Crawford and MarShon Brooks to the Golden State Warriors while the Celtics received the Heat center Joel Anthony . The 2013 -- 14 season marked the Celtics ' first missed playoffs since the `` Big Three '' . The next off - season , the Celtics drafted Marcus Smart with the 6th overall pick and James Young with the 17th overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft , and signed Evan Turner . The 2014 -- 15 season had several roster moves , the most prominent being Rondo and rookie Dwight Powell traded to the Dallas Mavericks for center Brandan Wright , forward Jae Crowder , veteran point guard Jameer Nelson , and future picks . A total of 22 players spent time with the Celtics , leading scorer and rebounder Sullinger suffered a season - ending left metatarsal stress fracture , and the team was only tenth in the East with 28 games remaining . However , midseason acquisition Isaiah Thomas helped the team win 22 of their last 34 games , finishing the season with a 40 -- 42 record , enough for the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs . The Celtics were swept by the second seeded Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round . In the 2015 NBA draft Boston selected Terry Rozier , R.J. Hunter , Jordan Mickey , and Marcus Thornton with the 16th , 28th , 33rd , and 45th selections respectively . During the off - season , the Celtics signed forward Amir Johnson and traded Gerald Wallace and Chris Babb in exchange for Warriors forward David Lee . The Celtics finished the 2015 -- 16 NBA season with a 48 -- 34 record , earning the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference . They played the fourth seed Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the playoffs . After leading by 3 points in the fourth quarter of Game 1 , guard Avery Bradley went down with a hamstring injury , making him sit out for the rest of the series . The Celtics lost the series 4 -- 2 to the Hawks , ending their season . On July 8 , 2016 , the Celtics signed 4 - time All - Star Al Horford . The Celtics finished the 2016 -- 17 season with a 53 -- 29 record and clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference . After a hip injury ended Thomas ' impressive playoff run in game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals , the Celtics eventually lost to the Cavaliers in five games . For the 2017 NBA draft , the Celtics won the draft lottery , earning them the first pick . They were projected to select freshman guard Markelle Fultz , but the pick was subsequently traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for the third pick in the 2017 draft and future picks . The 76ers would go on to draft Fultz , while the Celtics used the third pick to select freshman forward Jayson Tatum . Semi Ojeleye , Kadeem Allen , and Jabari Bird were selected with the 37th , 53rd , and 56th selections , respectively , in the second round . At the start of the off - season , the team signed Tatum and Ante Žižić , among others , with the biggest acquisition being the signing of Gordon Hayward . On August 22 , 2017 , the Celtics agreed to a deal that sent Isaiah Thomas , Jae Crowder , Žižić , and the Brooklyn Nets ' 2018 first round draft pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Kyrie Irving . An additional draft pick ( Celtics ' 2020 second round ) was later added to the package from the Celtics to the Cavaliers after doctors revealed that Thomas 's injury was more significant than initially anticipated . By the end of the off - season , only 4 Celtics ' players remained from the 2016 -- 17 team , with Marcus Smart being the longest tenured Celtic from the 2014 NBA draft . On the team 's opening night game against the Cavaliers , Hayward suffered a fractured tibia and dislocated ankle in his left leg , causing him to be ruled out for the rest of the regular season . Despite the loss , the Celtics went on a 16 - game winning streak , which also went down as the fourth - longest winning streak in the teams ' history . The streak started with a 102 -- 92 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on October 20 and ended on November 22 to the hands of the Miami Heat with a 98 -- 104 loss . The Celtics finished the year with a 55 -- 27 record , good enough for second place in the Eastern Conference . In the playoffs , they defeated the Milwaukee Bucks in the First Round in seven games , and continued the feat in the Conference Semifinals by defeating the Philadelphia 76ers in five games before losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers in seven games in the Conference Finals . Rivalries ( edit ) Atlanta Hawks ( edit ) The Celtics -- Hawks rivalry is a rivalry in the Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association that has lasted for over five decades , although the two teams have played each other since the 1949 -- 50 season , when the then - Tri-Cities Blackhawks joined the NBA as part of the National Basketball League and the Basketball Association of America merger . However , the Blackhawks could not field a truly competitive team until they moved to St. Louis as the St. Louis Hawks after a four - year stopover at Milwaukee . The two teams have faced each other eleven times in the NBA Playoffs , four times in the NBA Finals , with the Celtics winning ten of twelve series against the Hawks , including three out of four NBA Finals . While the Hawks have only defeated the Celtics twice out of eleven series in the NBA Playoffs , they still often managed to make their series with the Celtics memorable . The rivalry intensified in 2016 with Hawks All - Star Center Al Horford spurning the team and joining the Celtics . Brooklyn Nets ( edit ) The Boston Celtics were once rivals of the New Jersey Nets during the early 2000s due to their respective locations and their burgeoning stars . The Nets were led by Jason Kidd and Kenyon Martin , while the Celtics were experiencing newfound success behind Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker . The rivalry began to heat up in the 2002 Eastern Conference Finals , which was preceded by trash talking from the Celtics who claimed Martin was a `` fake '' tough guy . Things progressed as the series started , and on - court tensions seemed to spill into the stands . Celtics ' fans berated Kidd and his family with chants of `` Wife Beater ! '' in response to Kidd 's 2001 domestic abuse charge . When asked about the fan barbs being traded , Kenyon Martin stated , `` Our fans hate them , their fans hate us . '' Bill Walton said at the time that Nets - Celtics was the `` beginning of the next great NBA rivalry '' during the Eastern Conference Finals in 2002 with the Nets advancing to the NBA Finals , though New Jersey would go on to sweep Boston in the 2003 playoffs . In 2012 , the year the Nets returned to New York in the borough of Brooklyn , there were indications that the rivalry might be rekindled when an altercation occurred on the court on November 28 , resulting in the ejection of Rajon Rondo , Gerald Wallace , and Kris Humphries . Rondo was suspended for two games in the aftermath , while Wallace and Kevin Garnett were fined . The story was revisited on December 25 , when Wallace grabbed Garnett 's shorts and the two had to be broken up by referees and players alike . However , the rivalry between the Nets and the Celtics appeared significantly cooled off by the June 2013 blockbuster trade that dealt Celtics stars Garnett and Paul Pierce to the Nets in exchange for Wallace , Humphries , and others . This move was billed as a merger of the two Atlantic Division teams . Celtics announcer Sean Grande said `` It 's almost as if you found a great home for these guys . You could n't have found a better place . These guys will be in the New York market , they 'll be on a competitive team , they 'll stay on national TV . It 's funny , because the enemy of my enemy is my friend . So with Celtics fans feeling the way they do about the Heat , feeling the way they do about the Knicks , the Nets are going to become almost the second ( Boston ) team now . '' The trade would end up crippling the Nets who posted a record of 151 - 259 following the trade including three consecutive seasons with fewer than 30 wins from 2016 to 2018 . Brooklyn would win just one playoff series with Garnett and Pierce , neither of whom were with the team by the close of the 2014 -- 2015 season . The Celtics would use Brooklyn 's draft picks to acquire Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum through the draft in 2016 and 2017 respectively and Kyrie Irving via trade , en route to consecutive appearances in the Eastern Conference Finals in 2017 and 2018 . Detroit Pistons ( edit ) Main article : Celtics -- Pistons rivalry The rivalry between the Celtics and the Detroit Pistons peaked in the 1980s , featuring players such as Larry Bird , Kevin McHale , Robert Parish , Isiah Thomas , Bill Laimbeer , Dennis Rodman , and Joe Dumars . These teams met in the NBA Playoffs five times in 7 seasons from 1985 to 1991 , with the Celtics winning in 1985 and 1987 , and the Pistons coming out on top en route to back - to - back Finals appearances in 1988 and their championship seasons of 1989 and 1990 . Led by Paul Pierce , Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen in the 2008 Eastern Conference Finals the Celtics defeated the Pistons in 6 games to advance to the NBA Finals where they went on to beat the Lakers also in 6 games . Los Angeles Lakers ( edit ) Main article : Celtics -- Lakers rivalry The rivalry between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers involves the two most storied franchises in NBA history . It has been called the NBA 's best rivalry . The two teams have met a record twelve times in the NBA Finals , starting with their first Finals meeting in 1959 . They would go on to dominate the league in the 1960s and the 1980s , facing each other six times in the 1960s , three times in the 1980s , in 2008 , and in 2010 . The rivalry had been less intense since the retirements of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird in the early 1990s , but in 2008 it was renewed as the Celtics and Lakers met in the Finals for the first time since 1987 , with the Celtics winning the series in six games . They faced off once again in the 2010 NBA Finals which the Lakers won in seven games . The two teams have won the two highest numbers of championships , the Celtics 17 , the Lakers 16 ; together , the 33 championships account for almost half of the 70 championships in NBA history . New York Knicks ( edit ) Main article : Celtics -- Knicks rivalry The rivalry between the Celtics and the New York Knicks stems from the location of the teams , both of which are in the NBA 's Atlantic division . It is one of many rivalries between Boston and New York teams . Boston and New York are also the only two original NBA franchises that have remained in the same city for the duration of their existence . The teams have played 512 games against each other during the regular season , with the Celtics winning 276 times . The two teams have also faced each other 61 times during the playoffs , with the Celtics winning 34 times . Philadelphia 76ers ( edit ) Wilt Chamberlain of the Philadelphia 76ers being defended by Celtics ' center Bill Russell Main article : 76ers -- Celtics rivalry The Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers are the two teams who have the most meetings in the NBA Playoffs , playing each other in 19 series , of which the Celtics have won 12 . The 76ers are considered as the Celtics ' biggest rival in the Eastern Conference . The rivalry reached its peak when players Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain of the 76ers played each other from 1965 to 1968 . Their play would result in the Celtics not winning every NBA Finals series in the 1960s when the Sixers won in 1967 . During the early 1980s , the teams constantly fought for conference championships with Larry Bird leading the Celtics and Julius Erving leading the 76ers . Washington Wizards ( edit ) The most recent and unexpected rivalry that has been created between the Celtics is with the Washington Wizards . Although both teams had engaged in a fight in 1984 , the rivalry intensified during the 2015 -- 16 season in a January regular season game after Jae Crowder was given a technical foul . Crowder then began to exchange words with then Wizards coach Randy Wittman . It began to escalate that off - season when the Celtics were trying to sign Al Horford . It was publicly reported that Jae Crowder emphasized that the Celtics beat the Wizards in all of their meetings that season and should sign with them rather than Washington . In their first meeting of the 2016 - 17 season , Wall hit Marcus Smart in the back - court when they were up by 20 late in the 4th quarter . Wall was hit with a Flagrant 2 foul and was promptly ejected . Smart immediately got back up and began to scuffle with Wall . Their words continued even after being separated with Wall telling Smart to meet him out back after the game . No incident was reported between the two following the game . In their next meeting , the Celtics won 117 -- 108 . However , after the game Wall and Crowder exchanged words in front of the Wizards bench . Crowder ended up trying to jab his finger at Wall 's nose and Wall tried to fight back with a slap . Teammates and coaches from both sides had to step in and separate the two teams but the players continued to yell while entering their respective locker rooms . Police officers had to be on guard between the two locker rooms to ensure no further confrontation . Otto Porter is quoted as calling the Celtics as dirty . Isaiah Thomas replied `` If playing hard is dirty , then I guess we are a dirty team . '' In their next game in January , the Wizards wore all black to enter the game . The notion was that it is similar to the attire of a funeral . Their decision worked as they defeated the Celtics 123 -- 108 . The two teams would go on to meet in the Conference Semifinals in the 2017 Playoffs . In Game 1 , Markieff Morris landed on Horford 's ankle after shooting a jumpshot. Morris sprained his ankle and had to miss the rest of the game which was a 123 - 111 loss . Morris believed that Horford did this intentionally . In Game 2 , Morris retaliated by grabbing Horford by the waist and pushed him into the seats . In Game 3 , Kelly Olynyk set a hard screen on Kelly Oubre . Olynyk 's shoulder hit Oubre in the chin causing him to drop to the floor . Oubre angrily rose and pushed Olynyk down onto the floor . Oubre was then assessed a flagrant 2 foul and was ejected while also being suspended for Game 4 . No significant altercations erupted in the rest of the seven game series in which the Celtics would go on to win . The rivalry has since dissipated as the Celtics have retooled their roster but their match - ups are still seen as significant as they played on Christmas in 2017 .

It was originally designed by Zang Auerbach , the brother of Celtics head coach Red Auerbach . For a long time , the logo 's only colors were black , white and green . Then for the 1996 -- 97 season , celebrating the club 's 50th anniversary , the logo got a full - color treatment . Lucky 's face and hands were both painted tan , while gold was included on the vest , bow tie and hat , as well as brown on the ball and shillelagh , and black on its pants and shoes . The Celtics also have various alternative logos , with the most popular being a white shamrock with the letters `` Celtics '' above it , wrapped in a green circle , which has been used since the 1998 -- 99 season . The alternate logo is based on logos used by the Celtics before they used the Zang Auerbach leprechaun . For much of its history , the shamrock was trimmed in gold , as seen in the old team warmup jackets . A new secondary logo , unveiled in 2014 , featured a variation of the leprechaun logo , in silhouette form . Uniforms ( edit ) `` Icon '' and `` Association '' uniforms ( edit ) For much of their history , the Celtics wore green uniforms on the road and white uniforms at home . The basic template of the current Celtics ' uniforms were formalized in the 1950s , and along the way they made a few adjustments in the lettering and stripes . Among the more notable changes in the uniforms were the switch from serifed to sans - serif block lettering in 1968 , the addition of names in 1972 , and the incorporation of the three - leaf shamrock logo in 1998 . While the white uniforms remained largely intact , the green uniforms have featured either the city name ( 1950s -- 1965 ; 2014 -- present ) or the team name ( 1965 -- 2014 ) . When Nike became the NBA 's uniform provider in 2017 they decided to eliminate the ' home ' and ' away ' uniform designations . Thus the white Celtics uniforms became known as the `` Association '' uniforms while the green uniforms became the `` Icon '' uniforms . Both sets are now used regardless of home and road games . In January 2017 , the Celtics signed a multi-year deal with General Electric where they became the `` exclusive Data and Analytics partner '' for the team . As part of the deal , GE agreed to pay the Celtics more than $7 million per year to have the uniforms with a GE logo prominently placed on the left shoulder of jerseys in green and white . This was the first time a corporate logo were placed on the game uniforms . Along with the GE logo , the Nike logo now emblazons the right shoulder of the Celtics ' uniforms . Alternate uniforms ( edit ) From 2005 to 2017 , the Celtics wore alternate green uniforms with black lettering and trim featuring the word `` Boston '' on the front side . One noticeable difference in the alternate uniforms were the black panels with a green shamrock , reminiscent of the original Celtics uniforms worn in the late 1940s . A gray uniform set was also used from 2014 to 2017 . Dubbed `` Parquet Pride '' , the uniforms featured sleeves ( a prominent figure in Adidas ' NBA uniforms ) , white letters with green trim , the silhouetted leprechaun logo on the shorts , the shamrock logo on the left leg , and a parquet - like pattern on the sides . For 2017 and beyond , the Celtics will wear black `` Statement '' uniforms ( labeled by Nike in reference to the league 's third jerseys ) . Its features include green letters with white trim , green panels with black shamrock and white player names . The team name is prominently featured in front . The Celtics will also wear a fourth alternate uniform , dubbed by Nike as the `` City '' uniforms . Their first `` City '' uniforms are in gray and features a pattern of the parquet floor throughout , a green shamrock with white trim on the left leg , green letters with white trim , Red Auerbach 's signature near the uniform tag , and a portion of the 2008 championship banner on the beltline . Special uniforms ( edit ) Between 2006 and 2017 , the Celtics wore special St. Patrick 's Day uniforms . The initial uniforms were worn from 2006 to 2013 and it strongly resembled their regular green uniforms save for gold and white trim and the city name in front . For 2014 and 2015 , the uniforms were sleeved , replaced the city name in front in favor of the team name , and now resembled their green / black alternates . In 2016 and 2017 , the uniforms were again sleeveless and featured the city name in front , but kept the previous striping . During the NBA Europe Live Tour prior to the 2007 -- 08 season , the Celtics used the alternate road jerseys in their game against the Toronto Raptors in Rome , except that the words `` Boston '' on the front side of the jersey and the shamrock on the shorts and on the reverse side of the jersey contained the green , white and red tricolors of the Italian flag . In the second game in London , the regular road jerseys featured a patch containing the Union Jack . At the 2008 -- 09 season opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers , the Celtics wore a modified version of their home uniforms , accented with gold , to commemorate last season 's championship team . The Celtics have also worn special edition Christmas Day uniforms since the 2008 -- 09 season . For the first four games , they wore their regular green uniforms modified with the NBA logo inside a snowflake . Then in the 2012 -- 13 season , they wore monochrome uniforms with green lettering trimmed in white . For the 2016 -- 17 season , the Celtics wore a special green uniform with a more ornate script lettering , but without the additional striping . Memorial patches ( edit ) During the 2006 -- 07 season , the Celtics wore a commemorative patch of a black shamrock with the nickname `` Red '' in green letters on the right top of the jersey in remembrance of Red Auerbach , who died shortly prior to the beginning of the season . The team has honored deceased members of the Celtics family with a commemorative black band on the left shoulder strap of the jersey . It has been featured eight times in the history of the franchise : Walter Brown ( 1964 -- 65 ) , Bob Schmertz ( 1975 -- 76 ) , Joan Cohen ( 1989 -- 90 ) , Johnny Most ( 1993 -- 94 ) , Reggie Lewis ( 1993 -- 94 ) , Dorothy Auerbach ( 2000 -- 01 ) , Dennis Johnson ( 2006 -- 07 ) , Jim Loscutoff ( 2015 -- 16 ) and Jo Jo White ( 2017 -- 18 ) . The Celtics also wore a black band for reasons not related to the franchise , such as the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013 , and the death of Isaiah Thomas ' younger sister during the 2017 NBA Playoffs . Uniform traditions ( edit ) The team also had the tradition of wearing black sneakers through most of their history , except during the early 1980s when they wore green sneakers . According to legend , Celtics patriarch Red Auerbach had a problem with the white sneakers , claiming that the white sneakers can easily get dirty ; hence starting a long tradition with the black sneakers . But prior to the 2003 -- 04 season , current Celtics GM Danny Ainge and captain Paul Pierce suggested wearing white sneakers , in due part to a growing number of teams wearing black sneakers . Auerbach gladly accepted and the white sneakers have remained since on home games . They still wore the black sneakers on away games , but in the 2008 -- 09 season , they wore white sneakers with green and gold accents while wearing their St. Patrick 's Day jerseys on the road . Most recently , when the Celtics play on Christmas Day , they wore white or green sneakers with red and gold accents . Since the 2009 -- 10 season , the NBA relaxed its rules on specified sneaker colors , and Celtics players are now seen wearing custom - made and personalized sneakers at home and on the road , although for the most part they wear either green , white or black sneakers . The Celtics were the only team to wear warmup jackets with the player names on the back . During the 1980s , this style was dominant in most NBA warmup jackets , but by the late 1990s , this style gradually declined . The Celtics , however , kept the design in keeping with tradition , before discontinuing the practice after the 2011 -- 12 season in favor of a templated jacket design common to all 30 teams . Television and radio ( edit ) Main article : List of Boston Celtics broadcasters NBC Sports Boston is the Boston Celtics ' main television outlet , having aired its games since 1981 when the station was known as PRISM New England . In 1983 , it rebranded as SportsChannel New England . Like all the other SportsChannel networks , the New England channel was rebranded as Fox Sports New England when former owner Cablevision entered into a partnership with Liberty Media and News Corporation in 1998 . Comcast purchased Cablevision 's original network stake in 2001 , then acquired the remaining stake in what was now FSN New England in 2007 and rebranded the network as Comcast SportsNet New England . In 2017 , all CSN networks ( including CSN New England ) were renamed as NBC Sports Regional Networks in reference to Comcast 's current ownership of NBCUniversal . Mike Gorman provides the play - by - play with former Celtics player and coach Tommy Heinsohn serving as analyst for home games , while former Celtics ' player Brian Scalabrine serves as analyst for road games . Abby Chin serves as courtside reporter . The Celtics can be heard on 98.5 the Sports Hub during all Boston Celtics games , all season long from preseason to postseason . The play - by - play announcer is Sean Grande with commentary from Cedric Maxwell . On September 26 , 2013 , the Celtics and 98.5 The Sports Hub announced a multi-year partnership in which the Boston Celtics games will be broadcast on the market 's leading sports station . Beginning with the 2013 -- 14 season , 98.5 The Sports Hub will feature select pre-season games , and all regular and post-season matchups , as well as produce extended pre - and postgame shows focused entirely on the Celtics .

In September 1989 , the team through its owners , Don Gaston , Alan N. Cohen and Paul Dupee acquired radio station WEEI ( on the 590 frequency now known as WEZE ) from CBS Radio , as well as Fox affiliated station WFXT from Fox Television Stations . The sale was completed on May 10 , 1990 . CBS discontinued its association with WEEI that year , and they instead joined ABC Direction . WEEI , which had already carried Celtics broadcasts since 1987 , expanded its sports programming to cover the Boston Bruins and certain Sports Byline USA and CBS Radio Sports broadcasts . However , WEEI was sold off in 1994 , and would later reemerge as the name of an ESPN - radio affiliate , Sportsradio 850 WEEI . WFXT continued to carry the Fox network programming ; however , during the team 's ownership of the station , they broadcast the team 's games and they also had a news share agreement with regional cable news channel New England Cable News in 1993 . WFXT meanwhile was reacquired by Fox Television Stations group , and once again was Fox owned - and - operated from 1995 .

Alcoholic drink
Alcoholic drink - wikipedia Alcoholic drink Jump to : navigation , search This article is about drinks containing alcohol . For alcohol as a drug specifically , see Alcohol ( drug ) . A selection of alcoholic drinks . From left to right : red wine , malt whisky , lager , sparkling wine , lager , cherry liqueur and red wine . A liquor store in the United States . Global sales of alcoholic drinks exceeded $1 trillion in 2014 . An alcoholic drink , or alcoholic beverage , is a drink that contains alcohol ( ethanol ) , a depressant which in low doses causes euphoria , reduced anxiety , and sociability and in higher doses causes intoxication ( drunkenness ) , stupor and unconsciousness . Long - term use can lead to alcohol abuse , physical dependence , and alcoholism . Drinking alcohol plays an important social role in many cultures . Most countries have laws regulating the production , sale , and consumption of alcoholic beverages . Some countries ban such activities entirely , but alcoholic drinks are legal in most parts of the world . The global alcoholic drink industry exceeded $1 trillion in 2014 . Alcohol is one of the most widely used recreational drugs in the world . For instance , in 2015 , among Americans , 89 % of adults had consumed alcohol at some point , 70 % had drunk it in the last year , and 56 % in the last month . Alcoholic drinks are typically divided into three classes -- beers , wines , and spirits -- and typically contain between 3 % and 40 % of alcohol by volume . Discovery of late Stone Age jugs suggest that intentionally fermented drinks existed at least as early as the Neolithic period ( cir. 10,000 BC ) . Many animals also consume alcohol when given the opportunity and are affected in much the same way as humans , although humans are the only species known to produce alcoholic drinks intentionally .

Wine ( edit ) Main article : Wine See also : Wine and health Wine is a fermented beverage produced from grapes . Wine involves a longer fermentation process than beer and also a long aging process ( months or years ) , resulting in an alcohol content of 9 % -- 16 % ABV . Sparkling wine can be made by means of a secondary fermentation . `` Fruit wines '' are made from fruits other than grapes , such as plums , cherries , or apples . Sake is a popular example of `` rice wine '' . Beer ( edit ) Main article : Beer See also : Beer styles and List of beer styles Beer is a beverage fermented from grain mash . It is typically made from barley or a blend of several grains and flavored with hops . Most beer is naturally carbonated as part of the fermentation process . If the fermented mash is distilled , then the drink becomes a spirit . In the Andean region , the most common beer is chicha , made from grain or fruits . Beer is the most consumed alcoholic beverage in the world . Cider ( edit ) Cider or cyder ( / ˈsaɪdər / SY - dər ) is a fermented alcoholic drink made from any fruit juice ; apple juice ( traditional and most common ) , peaches , pears ( `` Perry '' cider ) or other fruit . Cider alcohol content varies from 1.2 % ABV to 8.5 % or more in traditional English ciders . In some regions , cider may be called `` apple wine '' . Mead ( edit ) Mead ( / miːd / ) is an alcoholic drink made by fermenting honey with water , sometimes with various fruits , spices , grains , or hops . The alcoholic content of mead may range from about 8 % ABV to more than 20 % . The defining characteristic of mead is that the majority of the drink 's fermentable sugar is derived from honey . Pulque ( edit ) Pulque is the Mesoamerican fermented drink made from the `` honey water '' of maguey cacti . The drink distilled from pulque is tequila or mescal . Distilled drinks ( edit ) Main article : Distilled beverage These flaming cocktails illustrate that high - proof alcohol will readily catch fire and burn . A distilled drink or liquor is an alcoholic drink produced by distilling ( i.e. , concentrating by distillation ) ethanol produced by means of fermenting grain , fruit , or vegetables . Unsweetened , distilled , alcoholic drinks that have an alcohol content of at least 20 % ABV are called spirits . For the most common distilled drinks , such as whiskey and vodka , the alcohol content is around 40 % . The term hard liquor is used in North America to distinguish distilled drinks from undistilled ones ( implicitly weaker ) . Vodka , gin , baijiu , tequila , whiskey , brandy , and soju are examples of distilled drinks . Distilling concentrates the alcohol and eliminates some of the congeners . Freeze distillation concentrates ethanol along with methanol and fusel alcohols ( fermentation by - products partially removed by distillation ) in applejack . Fortified wine is wine , such as port or sherry , to which a distilled beverage ( usually brandy ) has been added . Fortified wine is distinguished from spirits made from wine in that spirits are produced by means of distillation , while fortified wine is simply wine that has had a spirit added to it . Many different styles of fortified wine have been developed , including port , sherry , madeira , marsala , commandaria , and the aromatized wine vermouth . Rectified spirit ( edit ) Rectified spirit , also called `` neutral grain spirit , '' is alcohol which has been purified by means of `` rectification '' ( i.e. repeated distillation ) . The term neutral refers to the spirit 's lack of the flavor that would have been present if the mash ingredients had been distilled to a lower level of alcoholic purity . Rectified spirit also lacks any flavoring added to it after distillation ( as is done , for example , with gin ) . Other kinds of spirits , such as whiskey , are distilled to a lower alcohol percentage to preserve the flavor of the mash . Rectified spirit is a clear , colorless , flammable liquid that may contain as much as 95 % ABV . It is often used for medicinal purposes . It may be a grain spirit or it may be made from other plants . It is used in mixed drinks , liqueurs , and tinctures , and also as a household solvent . Health effects ( edit ) Main article : Alcohol and health Results of the 2010 ISCD study ranking the levels of damage caused by drugs , in the opinion of drug - harm experts . When harm to self and others is summed , alcohol was the most harmful of all drugs considered , scoring 72 % . Short - term effects ( edit ) Main article : Short - term effects of alcohol Wine , beer , distilled spirits and other alcoholic drinks contain ethyl alcohol and alcohol consumption has short - term psychological and physiological effects on the user . Different concentrations of alcohol in the human body have different effects on a person . The effects of alcohol depend on the amount an individual has drunk , the percentage of alcohol in the wine , beer or spirits and the timespan that the consumption took place , the amount of food eaten and whether an individual has taken other prescription , over-the - counter or street drugs , among other factors . Alcohol in carbonated drinks is absorbed faster than alcohol in non-carbonated drinks . Drinking enough to cause a blood alcohol concentration ( BAC ) of 0.03 % - 0.12 % typically causes an overall improvement in mood and possible euphoria , increased self - confidence and sociability , decreased anxiety , a flushed , red appearance in the face and impaired judgment and fine muscle coordination . A BAC of 0.09 % to 0.25 % causes lethargy , sedation , balance problems and blurred vision . A BAC from 0.18 % to 0.30 % causes profound confusion , impaired speech ( e.g. , slurred speech ) , staggering , dizziness and vomiting . A BAC from 0.25 % to 0.40 % causes stupor , unconsciousness , anterograde amnesia , vomiting ( death may occur due to inhalation of vomit ( pulmonary aspiration ) while unconscious ) and respiratory depression ( potentially life - threatening ) . A BAC from 0.35 % to 0.80 % causes a coma ( unconsciousness ) , life - threatening respiratory depression and possibly fatal alcohol poisoning . As with all alcoholic drinks , drinking while driving , operating an aircraft or heavy machinery increases the risk of an accident ; many countries have penalties against drunk driving . Long - term effects ( edit ) See also : Long - term effects of alcohol consumption Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic red wine may boost heart health . The main active ingredient of wine , beer and distilled spirits is alcohol . Drinking small quantities of alcohol ( less than one drink in women and two in men per day ) is associated with a decreased risk of heart disease , stroke , diabetes mellitus and early death . Drinking more than this amount , however , increases the risk of heart disease , high blood pressure , atrial fibrillation , and stroke . The risk is greater in younger people due to binge drinking which may result in violence or accidents . About 3.3 million deaths ( 5.9 % of all global deaths ) are believed to be due to alcohol each year . Alcoholism reduces a person 's life expectancy by around ten years and alcohol use is the third leading cause of early death in the United States . No professional medical association recommends that people who are nondrinkers should start drinking wine . Another long - term effect of alcohol usage , when also used with tobacco products , is alcohol acting as a solvent , which allows harmful chemicals in tobacco to get inside the cells that line the digestive tract . Alcohol slows these cells ' healing ability to repair the damage to their DNA caused by the harmful chemicals in tobacco . Alcohol contributes to cancer through this process . While lower quality evidence suggest a cardioprotective effect , no controlled studies have been completed on the effect of alcohol on the risk of developing heart disease or stroke . Excessive consumption of alcohol can cause liver cirrhosis and alcoholism . The American Heart Association `` cautions people NOT to start drinking ... if they do not already drink alcohol . Consult your doctor on the benefits and risks of consuming alcohol in moderation . '' Alcoholic drinks are classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer ( IARC ) as a Group 1 carcinogen ( carcinogenic to humans ) . IARC classifies alcoholic drink consumption as a cause of female breast , colorectum , larynx , liver , esophagus , oral cavity , and pharynx cancers ; and as a probable cause of pancreatic cancer . Congeners ( edit ) See also : Congener ( alcohol ) , Wine chemistry , and Hangover In the alcoholic drinks industry , congeners are substances produced during fermentation . These substances include small amounts of chemicals such as occasionally desired other alcohols , like propanol and 3 - methyl - 1 - butanol , but also compounds that are never desired such as acetone , acetaldehyde and glycols . Congeners are responsible for most of the taste and aroma of distilled alcoholic drinks , and contribute to the taste of non-distilled drinks . It has been suggested that these substances contribute to the symptoms of a hangover . Tannins are congeners found in wine in the presence of phenolic compounds . Wine tannins add bitterness , have a drying sensation , taste herbaceous and are often described as astringent . Wine tannins adds balance , complexity , structure and makes a wine last longer , so they play an important role in the aging of wine . Food energy ( edit ) Alcoholic drinks are a source of food energy . The USDA uses a figure of 6.93 kilocalories ( 29.0 kJ ) per gram of alcohol ( 5.47 kcal ( 22.9 kJ ) per ml ) for calculating food energy . In addition to alcohol , many alcoholic drinks contain carbohydrates . For example , along with approximately 96 calories from alcohol in 12 US fl oz ( 355 ml ) of 5 % ABV beer , there are usually 10 -- 15 g of carbohydrates ( 40 -- 60 kcal or 170 -- 250 kJ ) . Excessive daily calorie intake may contribute to an increase in body weight and so - called `` beer belly '' . In addition to the direct effect of its caloric content , alcohol is also known to potentiate the insulin response of the human body to glucose , which , in essence , `` instructs '' the body to convert consumed carbohydrates into fat and to suppress carbohydrate and fat oxidation . Ethanol is directly processed in the liver to acetyl CoA , the same intermediate product as in glucose metabolism . Because ethanol can only be metabolized and consumed by the liver , chronic excessive use can lead to fatty liver . This leads to a chronic inflammation of the liver and eventually alcoholic liver disease . Usage ( edit ) Apéritifs and digestifs ( edit ) An apéritif is any alcoholic beverage usually served before a meal to stimulate the appetite , while a digestif is any alcoholic beverage served after a meal for the stated purpose of improving digestion . Fortified wine , liqueurs , and dry champagne are common apéritifs . Because apéritifs are served before dining , they are usually dry rather than sweet . One example is Cinzano , a brand of vermouth . Digestifs include brandy , fortified wines and herb - infused spirits ( Drambuie ) . Flavoring ( edit ) Pure ethanol tastes bitter to humans ; some people also describe it as sweet . However , ethanol is also a moderately good solvent for many fatty substances and essential oils . This facilitates the use of flavoring and coloring compounds in alcoholic drinks as a taste mask , especially in distilled drinks . Some flavors may be naturally present in the beverage 's raw material . Beer and wine may also be flavored before fermentation , and spirits may be flavored before , during , or after distillation . Sometimes flavor is obtained by allowing the beverage to stand for months or years in oak barrels , usually made of American or French oak . A few brands of spirits may also have fruit or herbs inserted into the bottle at the time of bottling . Reduction of red wine for a sauce by cooking it on a stovetop . It is called a reduction because the heat boils off some of the water and most of the more volatile alcohol , leaving a more concentrated , wine - flavoured sauce . Wine is important in cuisine not just for its value as an accompanying beverage , but as a flavor agent , primarily in stocks and braising , since its acidity lends balance to rich savory or sweet dishes . Wine sauce is an example of a culinary sauce that uses wine as a primary ingredient . Natural wines may exhibit a broad range of alcohol content , from below 9 % to above 16 % ABV , with most wines being in the 12.5 -- 14.5 % range . Fortified wines ( usually with brandy ) may contain 20 % alcohol or more . Alcohol measurement ( edit ) Alcohol concentration ( edit ) Typical ABV ranges Beers typically 5 % ( range is from 3 -- 15 % ) Wines typically 13.5 % ( range is from 8 % -- 17 % ) Fortified wines 15 -- 22 % Spirits typically 30 % - 40 % ( range is from 15 % to , in some rare cases , up to 98 % ) Fruit juices < 0.1 % Cider , wine coolers 4 % -- 8 % Main article : Alcohol by volume The concentration of alcohol in a beverage is usually stated as the percentage of alcohol by volume ( ABV , the number of milliliters ( ml ) of pure ethanol in 100 ml of beverage ) or as proof . In the United States , proof is twice the percentage of alcohol by volume at 60 degrees Fahrenheit ( e.g. 80 proof = 40 % ABV ) . Degrees proof were formerly used in the United Kingdom , where 100 degrees proof was equivalent to 57.1 % ABV . Historically , this was the most dilute spirit that would sustain the combustion of gunpowder . Ordinary distillation can not produce alcohol of more than 95.6 % by weight , which is about 97.2 % ABV ( 194.4 proof ) because at that point alcohol is an azeotrope with water . A spirit which contains a very high level of alcohol and does not contain any added flavoring is commonly called a neutral spirit . Generally , any distilled alcoholic beverage of 170 US proof or higher is considered to be a neutral spirit . Most yeasts can not reproduce when the concentration of alcohol is higher than about 18 % , so that is the practical limit for the strength of fermented drinks such as wine , beer , and sake . However , some strains of yeast have been developed that can reproduce in solutions of up to 25 % ABV . Serving Measures ( edit ) See also : Alcohol equivalence Shot sizes ( edit ) Shot sizes vary significantly from country to country . In the United Kingdom , serving size in licensed premises is regulated under the Weights and Measures Act ( 1985 ) . A single serving size of spirits ( gin , whisky , rum , and vodka ) are sold in 25 ml or 35 ml quantities or multiples thereof . Beer is typically served in pints ( 568 ml ) , but is also served in half - pints or third - pints . In Israel , a single serving size of spirits is about twice as much , 50 or 60 mL . The shape of a glass can have a significant effect on how much one pours . A Cornell University study of students and bartenders ' pouring showed both groups pour more into short , wide glasses than into tall , slender glasses . Aiming to pour one shot of alcohol ( 1.5 ounces or 44.3 ml ) , students on average poured 45.5 ml & 59.6 ml ( 30 % more ) respectively into the tall and short glasses . The bartenders scored similarly , on average pouring 20.5 % more into the short glasses . More experienced bartenders were more accurate , pouring 10.3 % less alcohol than less experienced bartenders . Practice reduced the tendency of both groups to over pour for tall , slender glasses but not for short , wide glasses . These misperceptions are attributed to two perceptual biases : ( 1 ) Estimating that tall , slender glasses have more volume than shorter , wider glasses ; and ( 2 ) Over focusing on the height of the liquid and disregarding the width . Standard drinks ( edit ) A `` standard drink '' of hard liquor does not necessarily reflect a typical serving size , such as seen here A standard drink is a notional drink that contains a specified amount of pure alcohol . The standard drink is used in many countries to quantify alcohol intake . It is usually expressed as a measure of beer , wine , or spirits . One standard drink always contains the same amount of alcohol regardless of serving size or the type of alcoholic beverage . The standard drink varies significantly from country to country . For example , it is 7.62 ml ( 6 grams ) of alcohol in Austria , but in Japan it is 25 ml ( 19.75 grams ) . In the United Kingdom , there is a system of units of alcohol which serves as a guideline for alcohol consumption . A single unit of alcohol is defined as 10 ml . The number of units present in a typical drink is sometimes printed on bottles . The system is intended as an aid to people who are regulating the amount of alcohol they drink ; it is not used to determine serving sizes . In the United States , the standard drink contains 0.6 US fluid ounces ( 18 ml ) of alcohol . This is approximately the amount of alcohol in a 12 - US - fluid - ounce ( 350 ml ) glass of beer , a 5 - US - fluid - ounce ( 150 ml ) glass of wine , or a 1.5 - US - fluid - ounce ( 44 ml ) glass of a 40 % ABV ( 80 US proof ) spirit . Laws ( edit ) Main article : Alcohol laws Alcohol laws regulate the manufacture , packaging , labelling , distribution , sale , consumption , blood alcohol content of motor vehicle drivers , open containers , and transportation of alcoholic drinks . Such laws generally seek to reduce the adverse health and social impacts of alcohol consumption . In particular , alcohol laws set the legal drinking age , which usually varies between 16 and 25 years , sometimes depending upon the type of drink ( e.g. , beer vs. hard liquor ) . Some countries do not have a legal drinking or purchasing age , but most countries set the minimum age at 18 years . Such laws may take the form of permitting distribution only to licensed stores , monopoly stores , or pubs and they are often combined with taxation , which serves to reduce the demand for alcohol ( by raising its price ) and it is a form of revenue for governments . These laws also often limit the hours or days ( e.g. , `` blue laws '' ) on which alcohol may be sold or served , as can also be seen in the `` last call '' ritual in US and Canadian bars , where bartenders and servers ask patrons to place their last orders for alcohol , due to serving hour cutoff laws . In some countries , alcohol can not be sold to a person who is already intoxicated . Alcohol laws in many countries prohibit drunk driving . In some jurisdictions , alcoholic drinks are totally prohibited for reasons of religion ( e.g. , Islamic countries with sharia law ) or for reasons of local option , public health , and morals ( e.g. , Prohibition in the United States from 1920 to 1933 ) . In jurisdictions which enforce sharia law , the consumption of alcoholic drinks is an illegal offense , although such laws may exempt non-Muslims . History ( edit ) Members of a German Student Corps ( Duchy of Brunswick ) shown drinking in a picture from 1837 . Main articles : History of alcoholic drinks and Drinking culture 10,000 -- 5,000 BC : Discovery of late Stone Age jugs suggests that intentionally fermented drinks existed at least as early as the Neolithic period . 7000 -- 5600 BC : Examination and analysis of ancient pottery jars from the neolithic village of Jiahu in the Henan province of northern China revealed residue left behind by the alcoholic drinks they had once contained . According to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , chemical analysis of the residue confirmed that a fermented drink made of grape and hawthorn fruit wine , honey mead and rice beer was being produced in 7000 -- 5600 BC ( McGovern et al. , 2005 ; McGovern 2009 ) . The results of this analysis were published in December 2004 . 9th century AD : The medieval Arabs used the distillation process extensively , and applied it to the distillation of alcohol . The Arab chemist Al - Kindi unambiguously described the distillation of wine in the 9th century . 12th century : The process of distillation spread from the Middle East to Italy , where distilled alcoholic drinks were recorded in the mid-12th century . In China , archaeological evidence indicates that the true distillation of alcohol began during the 12th century Jin or Southern Song dynasties . A still has been found at an archaeological site in Qinglong , Hebei , dating to the 12th century . 14th century : In India , the true distillation of alcohol was introduced from the Middle East , and was in wide use in the Delhi Sultanate by the 14th century . By the early 14th century , distilled alcoholic drinks had spread throughout the European continent .

The Wind Cries Mary - wikipedia The Wind Cries Mary Jump to : navigation , search `` The Wind Cries Mary '' German single picture sleeve Single by the Jimi Hendrix Experience A-side `` Purple Haze '' ( US ) B - side `` Highway Chile '' ( UK ) Released May 5 , 1967 ( 1967 - 05 - 05 ) ( UK ) June 19 , 1967 ( US ) Recorded January 11 , 1967 Studio De Lane Lea , London Genre Rock Length 3 : 21 Label Track ( UK ) Reprise ( US ) Songwriter ( s ) Jimi Hendrix Producer ( s ) Chas Chandler Experience UK singles chronology `` Purple Haze '' ( 1967 ) `` The Wind Cries Mary '' ( 1967 ) `` Burning of the Midnight Lamp '' ( 1967 ) Experience US singles chronology `` Hey Joe '' ( 1967 ) `` The Wind Cries Mary '' ( 1967 ) `` Foxey Lady '' ( 1967 ) `` The Wind Cries Mary '' is a rock ballad written by Jimi Hendrix . According to his then girlfriend , Kathy Etchingham 's , account , he wrote the lyrics after an argument with her , using `` Mary '' ( Etchingham 's middle name ) . In a later interview , Hendrix commented that the lyrics represent `` more than one person '' . Billy Cox , Hendrix 's long - time friend and later bassist , has noted Curtis Mayfield 's influence on the song . Hendrix performed elements or an early version in the summer of 1966 with his band Jimmy James and the Blue Flames in New York City . The Experience recorded it at De Lane Lea Studios in London on January 11 , 1967 , during sessions for their follow - up single to `` Hey Joe '' . Hendrix producer Chas Chandler commented on the recording : That was recorded at the tail end of the session for `` Fire '' . We had about twenty minutes or so left . I suggested we cut a demo of `` The Wind Cries Mary '' . Mitch Mitchell ( drummer ) and Noel Redding ( bassist ) had n't heard it , so they were going about it without a rehearsal . They played it once through ( and Hendrix then suggested overdubs ) . In all he put on four or five more overdubs , but the whole things was done in twenty minutes . That was our third single . The single , backed by `` Highway Chile '' , was released in the UK in May 1967 and reached number six on the UK Singles Chart . In the United States , the song was first released as the B - side of the `` Purple Haze '' single in June 1967 . It was later included on the American Are You Experienced album , released in August 1967 . Hendrix often performed the song live in 1967 and 1968 . A recording from the Monterey Pop Festival was later released on Jimi Plays Monterey ( 1986 ) and Live at Monterey ( 2007 ) ; another from the Paris L'Olympia Theatre appeared on Stages ( 1991 ) , The Jimi Hendrix Experience ( 2000 ) , and Live in Paris & Ottawa 1968 ( 2008 ) . Stages also includes a 1967 recording from a Stockholm concert . Rolling Stone magazine ranked `` The Wind Cries Mary '' number 379 on its list of the `` 500 Greatest Songs of All Time '' . A variety of musicians have recorded the song , such as Jamie Cullum , John Mayer , Xavier Rudd , Richie Sambora , Sting , Popa Chubby , Pat Boone , and Caron Wheeler . Gil Evans later reworked the song as `` Mademoiselle Mabry '' for Miles Davis ' album Filles de Kilimanjaro . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Shadwick , Keith ( 2003 ) . Jimi Hendrix : Musician .

Columbo (character)
Columbo ( character ) - wikipedia Columbo ( character ) Jump to : navigation , search `` Lieutenant Columbo '' and `` Frank Columbo '' redirect here . For the series itself , see Columbo . Columbo Columbo character Peter Falk as Columbo c. 1973 First appearance `` Enough Rope '' ( 1960 ) Last appearance `` Columbo Likes the Nightlife '' ( 2003 ) Created by Richard Levinson William Link Portrayed by Bert Freed ( 1960 ) Thomas Mitchell ( 1962 ) Peter Falk ( 1968 -- 2003 ) Catchphrases `` Just one more thing '' `` There 's something that bothers me '' `` One more question '' `` My wife ... '' `` What did you pay for those shoes ? '' Information Occupation Lieutenant ( police ) Spouse ( s ) Mrs. Columbo ( unseen character ) Nationality American Columbo or Lieutenant Columbo is the eponymous main character in the successful detective crime drama series Columbo . He is portrayed primarily by Peter Falk , who appeared in the role from 1968 through 2003 . Columbo 's first name has never officially been identified , although the name `` Frank Columbo '' has been visible on pieces of identification throughout the show 's history . The character of Columbo was created by William Link , who said that Columbo was partially inspired by the Crime and Punishment character Porfiry Petrovich as well as G.K. Chesterton 's humble cleric - detective Father Brown . Other sources claim Columbo 's character is also influenced by Inspector Fichet from the French suspense - thriller film Les Diaboliques ( 1955 ) . Contents ( hide ) 1 Biography 1.1 First name 1.2 Career 1.3 Family 2 Car 3 References Biography ( edit ) `` You know , sir , it 's a funny thing . All my life I kept running into smart people . I do n't just mean smart like you and the people in this house . You know what I mean . In school , there were lots of smarter kids . And when I first joined the force , sir , they had some very clever people there . And I could tell right away that it was n't gon na be easy making detective as long as they were around . But I figured , if I worked harder than they did , put in more time , read the books , kept my eyes open , maybe I could make it happen . And I did . And I really love my work , sir . '' -- Lieutenant Columbo in Season 6 episode 3 `` The Bye - Bye Sky High IQ Murder Case '' Over the years , the chatty Columbo would let slip many details about his personal life in conversations with suspects . However , in the episode `` Dead Weight '' , Columbo more - or-less admits that he will sometimes make up certain details about his life , even fabricating fictional relatives , in order to establish a better rapport with a suspect . As a result , some of the following biographical details may be exaggerated or otherwise inaccurate , particularly those concerning his family life . Columbo 's boyhood hero was Joe DiMaggio , and he liked gangster pictures . Columbo broke street lamps and played too much pinball ( he expressed a wish to have a pinball machine at home ) . The trick of putting a potato in a car exhaust -- which purportedly prevents the car from starting without causing permanent damage -- served well on one of his cases . He jokes that he became a cop in part to make up for these juvenile pranks . In `` The Bye - Bye Sky High I.Q. Murder Case '' , in a conversation with the suspect , Columbo revealed : `` All my life I kept running into smart people . I do n't just mean smart like you and the people in this house . You know what I mean ... '' He added , `` I could tell right away that it was n't gon na be easy making detective as long as they were around '' , but he determined that he could even the odds `` by working harder than any of them , reading all of the required books and paying attention to every detail . '' His trademark outfit of a rumpled raincoat over a suit - and - tie never varies from case to case or year to year -- with one exception ; when he gets a new raincoat as a birthday gift from his wife in the episode `` Now You See Him '' . Columbo says that he `` ca n't think '' in this coat , and desperately tries to lose it . Finally he is able to retrieve his beloved original raincoat . He sometimes wears his trademark outfit while on vacation . In the episode `` Troubled Waters '' , Columbo takes a Mexican cruise with his wife , and boards the cruise ship in his usual attire . Upon meeting Columbo dressed in the raincoat , the Captain of the ship quips `` Oh , tell me Lieutenant , do you expect inclement weather in the Mexican waters ? '' Later in the film he wears a Hawaiian shirt , during a party . Although not socially polished , Columbo is polite , addressing everyone to do with the case as `` sir '' , `` ma'am '' or `` miss '' . He rarely displays anger toward his prime suspect , though he sometimes becomes frustrated with other characters . In an impromptu speech to a ladies ' club meeting hosted by Ruth Gordon 's character , at which he shows up uninvited , he admits that over the course of many of his investigations he grew to like and respect the suspects . Columbo rarely carries a gun , and is never shown to exercise much physical force ; in some episodes he allows himself to be placed in a predicament in which the killer believes he or she will be able to kill Columbo and escape . In the 1971 episode `` Death Lends a Hand , '' it is revealed that he does not carry a gun when he walks through a metal detector and does n't set it off . In the 1975 episode `` Forgotten Lady '' he explains that he keeps it `` downtown '' , and in other episodes he expresses a strong dislike of guns and their use , as well as an intolerance to the noise produced when firing them . Additionally , in `` Troubled Waters '' , Columbo claims to be `` a bad shot '' . Columbo has failed to attend his required semi-annual evaluation at the department 's firing range . When an Internal Affairs sergeant threatens to ask for his badge because of this , Columbo pays a colleague to take the test for him . He does carry a gun for his work in 1992 's `` No Time to Die '' and 1994 's `` Undercover '' ( even threatening someone with it in the latter ) , both of which are based on Ed McBain novels . `` Murder Under Glass '' reveals Columbo to be an accomplished cook , having learned a recipe for veal scaloppine from his Italian father , which he makes for the killer , a famed food critic , who seems impressed by it . However , in `` Murder by the Book '' he claims he can cook only a certain type of omelette , which he cooks for the victim 's wife . In early episodes he appears to be particularly fond of eating chili con carne . In `` Identity Crisis '' , Columbo clearly speaks fluent Italian , which he demonstrates again later on in `` Murder Under Glass '' . When inspecting a chemical formula in `` Lovely but Lethal '' , he claims not to have recognized the writing as Latin , stating that he had `` only taken Spanish '' , some of which he speaks in `` A Matter of Honor '' . Columbo is a simple man , mainly because of hard work and not necessarily by choice . As his homicide investigations are almost always amongst the rich and famous of Los Angeles rather than gangland shootings , mafia killings or psychopaths , he regularly finds time during cases to take advantage of the suspect 's social circle ( e.g. the cuisine on tap in `` Murder Under Glass '' ) . As a distraction tactic , Columbo regularly asks to sit behind the wheel of a suspect 's luxury car . He asks suspects who are authors to sign copies of their books , suspects who are actors to give him free tickets to their next performance , and so on . He has good enough taste to fully appreciate all the fine perks he obtains from his suspects , but he often seems to be ( or pretends to be ) in awe of their wealthy lifestyles . He sometimes comments on the absurdity of spending thousands of dollars on a bottle of wine or a couch , when he himself lives on an income of $11,000 a year . He also possesses an encyclopedic knowledge , which he usually hides . He has explained to colleagues that his wife believes there is `` something wrong '' with him . His other trademark is the ever - present ( but not always lit ) cigar . More than once he attempts to quit smoking . Columbo has explained that he smokes cigars although his wife wishes he would smoke a pipe , which Columbo refuses to try `` because there 's too much stuff to carry around . '' His shoe size is referred to as `` 10 1 / 2 or 11 '' in `` By Dawn 's Early Light '' . Columbo appears to be prone to airsickness and seasickness , and he can not swim , though he has been known to row a boat . In `` Dead Weight '' , when General Hollister ( Eddie Albert ) comments on Columbo 's seasickness by asking why someone with the name `` Columbo '' would not be at home on a boat , the detective responds , `` It must have been another branch of the family . '' In other episodes , Columbo does claim that his family has a tradition of being descended from Columbus . He is ( or pretends to be ) squeamish , and does not like hospitals or autopsies . He finds it distasteful to look at photographs of autopsies while eating ( `` Dagger of the Mind '' ) . He demonstrates an aversion to viewing surgical procedures and an apparent fear of needles . In `` A Stitch in Crime '' , Columbo says he `` faints '' merely by being in a hospital . He claims to be afraid of heights , once remarking to an FAA investigator who offered him a job , `` I do n't even like being this tall '' ( `` Swan Song '' , 1974 ) . Columbo claims he is always nervous when he is in the passenger seat rather than driving , and in fact is extremely nervous during certain investigations . In `` A Stitch in Crime '' , Columbo grumbles throughout the episode about being sleep - deprived and working too hard . ( Columbo suffers from severe allergies `` every spring '' , although when we first see him suffering symptoms in this episode , he does not know what they are . He says he will not take allergy medicine because of the side effects . ) This is also the one and only time -- at least in the NBC decade -- Columbo challenges his suspect with physical violence ( by slamming a water carafe on Dr. Mayfield 's desk with great force before directly accusing Mayfield of murder and attempted murder ) . The killer , Dr. Mayfield had begun sarcastically ( and almost uncontrollably ) laughing at Columbo 's vocal suspicion that Mayfield had murdered a nurse for correctly suspecting him of the attempted murder of his boss , the head of research at the hospital . In `` Double Shock '' , Columbo is genuinely alarmed and upset by the housekeeper 's dislike of him . He confronts her to ask why she must behave in so hostile a fashion ; finally he convinces her that he is simply doing his job . Columbo 's unsettling , uneven - eyed stare was due to Falk 's glass eye in the right eye socket . It remained a mystery for 25 years whether the character had one as well , until 1997 's `` Columbo : A Trace of Murder '' , whereupon asking another character to revisit the crime scene with him he jokes : `` You know , three eyes are better than one . '' In almost every episode of the later ABC series , Columbo is heard whistling the children 's song `` This Old Man '' . It often appears as a motif in the musical score . In the penultimate Columbo film , 2000 's `` Murder with Too Many Notes '' , Columbo reveals to a music student ( and friend of the murder victim ) that his wife always hums `` This Old Man '' when she is cleaning their house . The movie ends with Columbo asking the student to teach him how to play the song so he can play it for her on her next birthday . In many of the first season films , Columbo is revealed to also love classical music , and has a high level of knowledge about it . Columbo frequently mentions his wife . In a number of episodes , the murderer is a celebrity or figure well - known to Columbo 's wife , and in several Columbo attempts to procure a souvenir for her , or to enlist the celebrity to make a telephone call to her . However , she is never at home . Columbo also has a habit of receiving police calls on the landline of the witness or suspect 's house while he is visiting them . `` Étude in Black '' ( 1972 ) marked the first appearance of the lieutenant 's basset hound , named `` Dog '' . `` Dog '' came to be an occasional regular character in the films . Columbo considered names like `` Fido '' , `` Munch '' and `` Beethoven '' but ultimately settled on `` Dog '' . In `` Sex and the Married Detective '' , Columbo is put on the spot when he is asked to play the tuba . Reluctantly he agrees , only to demonstrate great proficiency . He subsequently claimed that at school , the tuba was the only instrument left . In several episodes Columbo is seen eating a breakfast of a boiled egg , usually while investigating the scene of the crime or even while interviewing a suspect . He generally produces the egg from his raincoat pocket , before seeking a hard surface upon which to break its shell ; in `` A Stitch in Crime '' he uses a piece of evidence found at the murder scene . He prefers to eat the egg salted , stating in `` Lovely but Lethal '' that he usually carries a shaker of salt in his pocket . First name ( edit ) Columbo 's LAPD ID card and badge with the name Frank Columbo in the episode `` Dead Weight '' . Columbo 's first name is never explicitly mentioned during the series . Even the opening credits just simply read , `` Peter Falk as Columbo '' . When asked , Columbo always emphatically answers `` Lieutenant '' . In the episode `` By Dawn 's Early Light '' , when he is asked if he has a first name , he replies that the only person who `` calls '' him `` that '' is his wife . However , the name `` Frank '' is often seen relatively clearly on his police ID . In the 1971 episode `` Dead Weight '' , when Columbo introduces himself to General Hollister , the audience is shown a brief close - up of Columbo 's badge and police ID ; the signature reads `` Frank Columbo '' . The signature `` Frank Columbo '' is most clearly visible in the episode `` A Matter of Honor '' , in which it is also seen that Columbo 's badge number is 416 . This later appears on the address of a neighbor of the local police comisario ( played by Pedro Armendáriz Jr . ) . Universal Studios , in the box set of seasons 1 -- 4 under their Playback label , included a picture of Columbo 's police badge on the back of the box , with signature `` Frank Columbo '' and `` Lt. Frank Columbo '' in type . This appears to be a different badge from the one seen in `` Dead Weight '' , with a different signature ( a common occurrence with props ) . The name `` Frank '' is also clearly seen in the episode from 1991 called `` Death Hits The Jackpot '' when Lt. Columbo shows how shiny his badge is when explaining to Rip Torn 's character how he was able to figure out how he was in the victim 's apartment at the time of the murder . When Columbo holds his badge up , the name `` Frank '' is clearly typed on his LAPD I.D. card at the top . Several sources cite the lieutenant 's name as `` Philip Columbo '' . Columbo 's first name Philip was conceived by Fred L. Worth . In Worth 's book , The Trivia Encyclopedia , the fictitious entry about Columbo 's first name was actually a `` copyright trap '' -- a deliberately false statement intended to reveal subsequent copyright infringement , the basis for his later action against the publishers of the board game Trivial Pursuit Career ( edit ) `` I like my job . Oh , I like it a lot . And I 'm not depressed by it . And I do n't think the world is full of criminals and full of murderers . Because it is n't . It 's full of nice people just like you . And if it was n't for my job , I would n't be getting to meet you like this . And I 'll tell you something else . Even with some of the murderers that I meet , I even like them too , sometimes . Like them and even respect them . Not for what they did , certainly not for that . But for that part of them which is intelligent or funny or just nice . Because there 's niceness in everyone , a little bit , anyhow . You can take a cop 's word for it . '' -- Lieutenant Columbo in an impromptu speech to a ladies ' club meeting in Season 7 episode 1 `` Try and Catch Me '' After serving in the United States army during the Korean War ( `` mostly KP '' , as he says ) , Columbo joined the New York City Police Department and was assigned to the 12th precinct . He trained under Sergeant Gilhooley , a genial Irishman who mentored him and taught him a great deal about police work . Columbo reminisces about Gilhooley and mentions him often . Columbo moved to Los Angeles in 1958 , at the behest of his cousin Fred who convinced him he 'd prefer it to New York . Early in his career , he worked in the L.A.P.D. 's Hollenbeck Division ( part of the Central Bureau , covering the communities of Boyle Heights , Lincoln Heights and El Sereno ) . In Falk 's first appearance as Columbo in the 1968 TV - movie , Prescription Murder , the character had the rank of police lieutenant . In Uneasy Lies the Crown released in 1990 , Columbo tells a colleague that he has been `` on the force '' ( presumably meaning the LAPD ) for 22 years , which would suggest that he began his career on the LAPD as a lieutenant in the homicide department , having never worked as a uniformed officer for that police force . In Prescription Murder , Columbo speaks of a colleague , Lieutenant Silver , who was supposed to be assigned to the case but was thought to be `` too young and inexperienced '' compared to Columbo . In mentioning Lt. Silver , Columbo begins a tradition that will return often , of the rejection of lesser officers from his investigations . However , he also often involves younger detectives in his investigations and usually finds some reason to praise them . This in turn allows the other common motif of suspects attempting to have Columbo removed from investigating , because they fear him . Despite solving numerous murders over the next few decades , in Falk 's last appearance as Columbo in the 2003 cable - TV movie Columbo Likes the Nightlife , the detective is still a lieutenant . A very common motif is that Columbo enjoys and lives for his work . He is happy being a lieutenant with the homicide department , and often makes statements about his lack of ambition . He is precisely where he has always wanted to be , and he will remain there . The attempts to remove him from cases never work because Columbo `` is something of a legend '' , and thus has a powerful position with the police force . In fact , in Falk 's pilot episode , Prescription Murder , he mentions to a suspected accessory that somebody has attempted to have him removed from the case , but he says : `` Just to clear things up on one point , Miss Hudson : I am on the case . Somebody was pulling a few strings , all right . But my superior does n't like that . Gets him thinking . So he says to me , ' Columbo , you must be touching a sore spot somewhere . Keep at it . ' Very intelligent man , my superior . '' Family ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources .

( February 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Columbo was born and raised in New York City in a neighborhood near Chinatown . In the episode `` Murder Under Glass '' , he says that he ate more egg rolls than cannelloni during his childhood . He is Italian on both sides . Although never mentioned in the series , the southern - Italian surname Columbo is quite rare ( unlike the more common spelling ' Colombo ' , a north - Italian surname ) , and current real - life Columbos are concentrated around Bari in Apulia , south - east Italy . Columbo confirms these southern roots in `` Any Old Port in a Storm '' , calling Milan `` up north '' . The Columbo household included his grandfather , parents , five brothers ( one named George and another named Fred ) , and a sister , Rose . His father wore glasses and did the cooking when his mother was in the hospital having another baby . His grandfather `` was a tailgunner on a beer truck during Prohibition '' and let him stomp the grapes when they made wine in the cellar . `` You know , I can remember the only new car my father ever bought . How proud he was . The way it smelled . Kind of like the inside of a Pullman car . '' -- Lieutenant Columbo in Season 7 episode 1 `` Try and Catch Me '' His father , who never earned more than $5,000 a year and bought only one new car in his life , taught Columbo how to play pool , at which he excels in `` How to Dial a Murder '' . While visiting London , Columbo remarks to Scotland Yard officers that his `` father was an Elk until my mother stopped him '' ( `` Dagger of the Mind '' ) . Columbo frequently mentions his wife . During the first few seasons of the series it was widely believed in Hollywood that the character actually had no wife . However , in `` A Stitch in Crime '' ( 1972 ) Columbo tells only his fellow officers , when he first arrives on the scene , that his wife has some kind of flu . He explains he had been up all night caring for her and also has the flu as a result . In the episode `` Troubled Waters '' ( 1975 ) other characters describe meeting and speaking to Mrs. Columbo while they are on a cruise ship , although she remains unseen . In three other episodes ( `` An Exercise in Fatality '' , `` Any Old Port in a Storm '' and `` Rest in Peace , Mrs. Columbo '' ) , Columbo is seen talking on the telephone with his wife . In `` Identity Crisis '' , murderer Nelson Brenner ( Patrick McGoohan ) bugs Columbo 's home and learns Mrs. Columbo 's favorite piece of music is Madama Butterfly from Giacomo Puccini . Columbo tells Brenner he is glad his wife does not know about the bugging . In `` A Matter of Honor '' , Columbo tells his Mexican colleague ( Pedro Armendáriz Jr . ) that his wife has left Mexico in order to attend the 10th anniversary celebration of Columbo 's cousin , Vito . Columbo explains that his wife is very sensitive about such things , and implies that she is deeply caring about family . In `` No Time to Die '' , Columbo states that his wife loves to dance , saying it is the only exercise he gets , and states that they were married in an Italian restaurant . In the 1990 episode `` Rest in Peace , Mrs. Columbo '' , the lieutenant states that he and his wife were to celebrate their 28th or 29th anniversary next January , placing the year of their marriage between 1961 and 1963 . In a `` celebrity roast '' of Frank Sinatra hosted on television by Dean Martin , Peter Falk -- appearing in character as Columbo -- indicated that Mrs. Columbo 's first name was `` Rose '' although this may just have been for the purposes of the sketch . Sinatra also later called out `` Hi Rosie ! '' when told by Falk as Columbo that Mrs. Columbo is watching . In the episode `` Rest in Peace , Mrs. Columbo '' , Columbo 's wife is targeted by a psychotic killer ( Helen Shaver ) . During the investigation Columbo states that his wife loves Chopin and describes her as being busy with church , volunteering at the hospital , watching her sister 's children and walking the dog five times a day . He mentions that she has a sister named Ruth and later while talking with his wife on the phone he refers also to her having another sister , Rita . This episode teases the audience as to whether or not Mrs. Columbo has actually been murdered and by featuring prominently displayed photographs of Mrs. Columbo , apparently finally disclosing her appearance to viewers . However , the photos are revealed to be of one of his wife 's sisters , as he informs the killer at the end of the episode . Columbo has children but no details were ever disclosed about them . In `` Any Old Port in a Storm '' , he refers to the difficulty of getting a babysitter . He also mentions in that episode taking his wife and `` child '' on a picnic , and alludes to this child in `` The Most Crucial Game '' . In `` Mind over Mayhem '' he mentions that his `` wife and kids '' are in Fresno visiting his mother - in - law . However , in `` Rest in Peace , Mrs. Columbo '' he claims in conversation with the killer that he and his wife have no children , although it is plausible that this was a deception , as he was already aware at this point that the killer had taken a special interest in him , and his wife . In `` No Time to Die '' he attends the wedding of his nephew , who is also a police officer . In the speech Columbo holds at the wedding feast , he mentions his late sister Mary . In `` Short Fuse '' , he states that his wife 's younger brother is a photography buff and in `` Blueprint for Murder '' he says he has a brother - in - law who is an attorney . At the end of `` Dead Weight '' , he states that he has a niece named Cynthia , who is the daughter of his wife 's sister . In `` Requiem for a Falling Star '' , he tells the murderess that he has a brother - in - law named George who is a fan and has her speak to him over the phone . In `` Lovely but Lethal '' Columbo speaks of his nephew who is resident dermatologist at UCLA . Columbo often explains that he has an immense family and speaks of several siblings . Two brothers figure quite often : George and Fred ( the brother who convinced Columbo to move to California from New York ) . Columbo sometimes refers to a cousin , also named Fred . In the 1979 - 80 spinoff series Mrs. Columbo , the detective 's wife is given the first name of Kate ( presumably short for Katherine or some variant thereof ) and portrayed by Kate Mulgrew . Car ( edit ) The Peugeot 403 Cabriolet used in filming . Peter Falk and Dog in Season 7 Episode 4 titled `` How to Dial a Murder '' that aired on April 15 , 1978 On duty , Columbo drives his own car , a French 1959 Peugeot 403 convertible equipped with a police radio . In early episodes the car used was clearly royal blue , though faded ; later it seems to be `` primer '' - colored . Columbo says he parks his car in the shade because the sun ruins the paint . The California license plate , clearly seen in the first episode to be 044 APD , is damaged and crooked in later episodes . Peter Falk selected the car personally , after seeing it in a parking lot at Universal Studios . In the season 5 episode `` Identity Crisis '' , Columbo boasts that the car is a rare automobile , `` only three like it in the States '' . From June 1956 to July 1961 only 2,050 were produced , and only 504 were produced for model year 1959 . Though it regularly exhibits mechanical problems large and small , Columbo professes faith in his vehicle , telling a valet , `` I 've got over 100,000 miles on it . You take care of your car , it 'll take care of you . '' This car can also be seen in a stock shot used at the beginning of the pilot of The Rockford Files , `` The Backlash of the Hunter '' . The car also made an appearance in an episode of Adam - 12 . In `` Columbo Goes to College '' ( 1990 ) he reveals that this is not his only car , as his wife has a `` little runaround for the shopping '' . When the series returned on ABC , James and Connie Delaney of Findlay , Ohio , owned the car , but were unwilling to sell it , though they lent it to Universal for filming .

Lacrosse may have been developed as early as 1100 AD among indigenous peoples on the North American continent . By the seventeenth century , it was well - established . It was documented by Jesuit missionary priests in the territory of present - day Canada . The game has undergone many modifications since that time . Ball - play of the Choctaw -- ball up by George Catlin , circa 1846 -- 1850 In the traditional aboriginal Canadian version , each team consisted of about 100 to 1,000 men on a field that stretched from about 500 m ( 1,600 ft ) to 3 km ( 1.9 mi ) long . These games lasted from sunup to sundown for two to three days straight . These games were played as part of ceremonial ritual , a kind of symbolic warfare , to give thanks to the Creator or Master . Lacrosse played a significant role in the community and religious life of tribes across the continent for many years . Early lacrosse was characterized by deep spiritual involvement , befitting the spirit of combat in which it was undertaken . Those who took part did so in the role of warriors , with the goal of bringing glory and honor to themselves and their tribes . The game was said to be played `` for the Creator '' or was referred to as `` The Creator 's Game . '' The French Jesuit missionary Jean de Brébeuf saw Iroquois tribesmen play the game during 1637 in present - day New York . He was one of the first Europeans to write about the game . He called it la crosse ( `` the stick '' ) . The name seems to be originated from the French term for field hockey , le jeu de la crosse . A `` crosse '' in French is any stick curved at its end ( example : Crosse d'evêque -- `` Bishop 's crozier '' ) James Smith described in some detail a game being played in 1757 by his fellow tribe members `` wherein now they used a wooden ball , about 7.6 cm ( 3 in ) diameter , and the instrument they moved it with was a strong staff about 1.5 m ( 5 ft ) long , with a hoop net on the end of it , large enough to contain the ball . '' George Catlin 's closer look at the Lacrosse players The Italian explorer Count Paolo Andreani documented his contacts with the Oneida people in the 1790s and his reports on the Oneida include an illustration which is thought to be the first recorded picture of a lacrosse stick . In 1855 , William George Beers , a Canadian dentist , founded the Montreal Lacrosse Club . In 1867 , Beers codified the game , shortening the length of each game and reducing the number of players to 12 per team . The first game played under Beers ' rules was at Upper Canada College in 1867 ; they lost to the Toronto Cricket Club by a score of 3 -- 1 . By the 20th century , teams in high schools , colleges , and universities in Canada and the United States began playing the game . Lacrosse was contested for medals in the 1904 and 1908 Olympics with teams from Canada , the United States , and Great Britain . It was contested as a demonstration sport in the 1928 and 1932 Olympics . On each occasion , a playoff was held in the United States to determine what team would go to the Olympics ; each time the playoffs were won by the Johns Hopkins Blue Jays of the university in Baltimore , Maryland . Richmond Hill `` Young Canadians '' lacrosse team , 1885 . In the United States , lacrosse during the 1900s was primarily a regional sport centered around the east coast , including the states of Connecticut , New Hampshire , Massachusetts , New York , New Jersey , Pennsylvania , Maryland , Virginia and North Carolina . However , in the last half of the 20th century , the sport has continued growth west of this region , and since the beginning of the 21st century in South Carolina , Georgia , Tennessee , Florida , Texas , California , Oregon , Indiana , and Minnesota . According to a report of a survey conducted by US Lacrosse in 2013 , Field Lacrosse is one of the fastest growing sports and the fastest growing team sport in NFHS . At the highest amateur level , it is represented by the collegiate NCAA Division I in the United States . The first collegiate lacrosse program was established by New York University in 1877 . Nearly 100 years later , the 1971 tournament was the first Men 's Lacrosse Championship sponsored by the National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA ) . In other countries , the sport is also played at a high level on the amateur level by the Australian Lacrosse League , the Canadian University Field Lacrosse Association , and club lacrosse leagues internationally . In 1998 , a number of national lacrosse organizations in the United States merged to create US Lacrosse , a unified national governing body for men 's and women 's lacrosse in the United States . Headquartered in Baltimore , US Lacrosse seeks to provide a leadership role in virtually every aspect of the game . In the summer of 2001 , a men 's professional field lacrosse league , known as Major League Lacrosse ( MLL ) , was inaugurated in the United States . Initially starting with three teams , the MLL has grown to a current total of nine clubs located in major metropolitan areas in the United States . On July 4 , 2008 , Major League Lacrosse set the professional lacrosse attendance record : 20,116 fans attended a game at Invesco Field in Denver , Colorado . Versions of lacrosse ( edit ) Field lacrosse ( edit ) Main article : Field lacrosse Diagram of a men 's college lacrosse field There are ten players in each team : three attackmen , three midfielders , three defensemen , and one goalie . Each player carries a lacrosse stick . A short stick measures between 40 in ( 1.0 m ) and 42 in ( 1.1 m ) long and is used by attackmen and midfielders . A maximum of four players on the field per team may carry a long stick which is between 52 in ( 1.3 m ) to 72 in ( 1.8 m ) long and is used by defensemen and one defensive midfielder . The head of the crosse on both long and short crosses must be 6.5 in ( 17 cm ) or larger at its widest point . The throat of the lacrosse head for college must be at least 3 inches wide . For high school play , there is no minimum width at its narrowest point ; the only provision is that the ball must roll out unimpeded . The designated goalkeeper is allowed to have a stick from 40 in ( 1.0 m ) to 72 in ( 1.8 m ) long and the head of a goalkeeper 's crosse may measure up to 12 in ( 30 cm ) wide , significantly larger than field players ' heads , to assist in blocking shots . A face - off The field of play is 110 yd ( 100 m ) long and 60 yd ( 55 m ) wide . The goals are 6 ft ( 1.8 m ) by 6 ft ( 1.8 m ) . The goal sits inside a circular `` crease '' , measuring 18 ft ( 5.5 m ) in diameter . Each offensive and defensive area is surrounded by a `` restraining box . '' Each quarter , and after each goal scored , play is restarted with a face - off . During a face - off , two players lay their stick horizontally next to the ball , head of the stick inches from the ball and the butt - end pointing down the midfield line . Face - off - men scrap for the ball , often by `` clamping '' it under their stick and flicking it out to their teammates . Attackers and defenders can not cross their `` restraining line '' until one player from the midfield takes possession of the ball or the ball crosses the restraining line . If a member of one team touches the ball and it travels outside of the playing area , play is restarted by awarding possession to the opposing team , unless the ball traveled outside of the playing area after a shot on goal was made then the player with the closest lacrosse head to the ball at the point when it exits the field of play gains possession of the ball . During play , teams may substitute players in and out freely . Sometimes this is referred to as `` on the fly '' substitution . Substitution must occur within the designated exchange area ( often called `` the box '' ) to be legal . For most penalties , the offending player is sent to the penalty box , which is located between each team 's bench . Play continues without the player for a designated amount of time based upon the foul , however , most penalties are `` releasable , '' meaning that the penalty ends when a goal is scored by the non-offending team . Technical fouls ( such as offsides and holding ) result in either a turnover or a player 's suspension of 30 seconds , while personal fouls are generally penalized one minute . ( Some infractions , such as playing with a stick that does not meet the specifications of the designated level of play , may serve non-releasable penalties of up to three minutes ) . The team that has taken the penalty is said to be playing man down , while the other team is on the man up . Teams will use various lacrosse strategies to attack and defend while a player is being penalized . Offsides is penalized by a 30 - second penalty . It occurs when there are more than 7 players on the defensive side of the field ( three midfielders / three defensemen / one goalkeeper ) , or more than 6 players from one team on the offensive side of the field ( three midfielders / three attack ) . The zones are separated by the midfield line . 1904 Olympics Gold Medal winning Winnipeg Shamrocks lacrosse team Lacrosse at the Olympics was a medal - earning sport in the 1904 and 1908 Summer Olympics . Lacrosse was a demonstration sport in the 1928 and 1932 Summer Olympics , as well as at the 1948 Summer Olympics . The men 's professional Major League Lacrosse has used different field lacrosse rules from the international , college , and high school programs . With intentions to increase scoring , the league employed a sixty - second shot clock and a two -- point goal for shots taken outside a designated perimeter . In 2007 , the MLL was bolstered by a ten - year television contract with ESPN . Box lacrosse ( edit ) Main article : Box lacrosse Up until the 1930s , all lacrosse was played on large fields outdoors . The owners of Canadian ice hockey arenas invented a reduced - size version of the game , called box lacrosse , as a means to make more profit from their arena investments , and because severe winter weather in many areas limits outdoor play . Since 1985 , when the Canadian University Field Lacrosse Association ( CUFLA ) began operating a collegiate men 's league , field lacrosse has witnessed a revival in Canada . There are now 12 varsity teams . In 1994 , Canada declared lacrosse its national summer sport in the National Sports Act ( Bill C - 212 ) . In 1987 , a men 's professional box lacrosse league was started , called the Eagle Pro Box Lacrosse League . This league changed its name to the Major Indoor Lacrosse League , then later to the National Lacrosse League . It grew to encompass men 's lacrosse clubs in 14 cities throughout the United States and Canada . A game of box lacrosse Box lacrosse is played by teams of six on a hockey rink where the ice has been removed or covered by artificial turf , or in an indoor soccer or lacrosse field . The enclosed playing area is called a box , in contrast to the open playing field of the traditional game . This version of the game was introduced in the 1930s to promote business for hockey arenas , and within several years had nearly supplanted field lacrosse in Canada . Box lacrosse is played at the highest level by the Senior A divisions of the Canadian Lacrosse Association and the National Lacrosse League ( NLL ) . The National Lacrosse League employs some minor rule changes from the Canadian Lacrosse Association ( CLA ) rules . Notably , the games are played during the winter . The NLL games consist of four fifteen - minute quarters compared with three periods of twenty minutes each ( similar to ice hockey ) in CLA games ( multiple 15 - minute OT periods for tied games , until whoever scores first ) . NLL players may use only sticks with hollow shafts , while CLA permits solid wooden sticks. : The goals in box lacrosse are much smaller than field lacrosse , traditionally 4 ft ( 1.2 m ) wide by 4 ft ( 1.2 m ) tall in box , and 4.6 ft ( 1.4 m ) wide by 4 ft ( 1.2 m ) tall in the NLL . Also , the goaltender wears much more protective padding , including a massive chest protector and armguard combination known as `` uppers '' , large shin guards known as leg pads ( both of which must follow strict measurement guidelines ) , and ice hockey - style masks or lacrosse helmets . Also , at the professional level , box lacrosse goaltenders often use traditional wooden sticks outside of the NLL , which does not allow wooden sticks . This makes Box Lacrosse faster and rougher than the traditional Field Lacrosse . The style of the game is quick , accelerated by the close confines of the floor and a shot clock . The shot clock requires the attacking team to take a shot on goal within 30 seconds of gaining possession of the ball . In addition , players must advance the ball from their own defensive end to the offensive side of the floor within 10 seconds . Box lacrosse is also a much more physical game . Since cross checking is legal in box lacrosse , players wear rib pads in addition to the shoulder and elbow pads that field lacrosse players wear . Box lacrosse players wear a different type of helmet as well , a hockey helmet with a box lacrosse cage . For most penalties , the offending player is sent to the penalty box and his team has to play without him ( thus lacking one player ) for a short amount of time . Most penalties last for two minutes , unless a five - minute major penalty has been assessed . What separates box lacrosse ( and ice hockey ) from other sports is that at the top levels of professional and junior lacrosse , a five - minute major penalty is given and the players are not ejected for participating in a fight . Women 's lacrosse ( edit ) 2005 NCAA Women 's Lacrosse Championship Main article : Women 's lacrosse The rules of women 's lacrosse differ significantly from men 's lacrosse , most notably by equipment and the degree of allowable physical contact . Women 's lacrosse rules also differ significantly between the US and all other countries , who play by the Federation of International Lacrosse , or FIL , rules . Women 's lacrosse does not promote physical contact , primarily because the only protective equipment worn for this sport is a mouth guard , sometimes , and face guard ( mandatory in the United States , optional internationally ) and thin gloves . Recently , there has been discussion on requiring a padded cap or minimalistic helmet . Stick checking ( with several rules applied ) , and not body checking as in men 's lacrosse , is permitted in the women 's game , but only in certain levels of play . Sometimes checking can lead to body checking ; while this is still not permitted in a women 's game , some referees will allow limited body checking . Women 's lacrosse also does not allow players to have a pocket , or loose net , on the lacrosse stick . Another rule difference is that women start the game with a `` draw '' instead of a face - off . The primary difference is that while the crosses are held in the air above their hips the ball is placed between two players crosses ( stick and head ) instead of on the ground . The first modern women 's lacrosse game was held at St Leonards School in Scotland in 1890 . It was introduced by the school 's headmistress Louisa Lumsden after a visit to Quebec , where she saw it played . The first women 's lacrosse team in the United States was established at Bryn Mawr School in Baltimore , Maryland in 1926 . Men 's and women 's lacrosse were played under virtually the same rules , with no protective equipment , until the mid-1930s . Both the number of players on the field , as well as the general set up of the field , differ from men 's lacrosse . Female players must abide by certain boundaries that do not exist in men 's play . The three specific boundaries are the 8 - meter `` fan '' in front of the goal ( 11 meters internationally ) , the 12 - meter ( 15 meters internationally ) half circle that surrounds the 8 - meter half circle , and the draw circle in the center of the field , which is used for the women 's version of `` face - offs '' , known as `` draws '' . The goal circle is also positioned slightly closer to the end line in women 's lacrosse , compared to men 's . In women 's lacrosse on either the offensive or defensive end , the players are not able to step inside the goal circle for any reason , except when the goalkeeper has stepped out of the circle and one defensive player has stepped in as her deputy ; this becomes a `` goal - circle violation '' . However , at the women 's collegiate level , a new rule has been established that allows defenders to pass through the goal circle . The 8 - meter `` fan '' that is in front of the goal circle has a few restrictions in it . The first rule that is one of the most important rules for the 8 - meter ; as a defender , you can not be standing inside the 8 - meter longer than 3 seconds without being a sticks - length away from the offender you are guarding . This is very similar to the three - second rule in basketball . If you are passing through the 8 - meter or following your offender , then you will not get called for 3 seconds . If you get called for three seconds then you will be penalized and a player from the other team will be allowed to take a free shot against the goalie . If you are an attacker trying to shoot the ball into the goal , you are not supposed to take a shot while a defender is in `` shooting space . '' To make sure that you , the defender , are being safe , you want to lead with your lacrosse stick and once you are a sticks - length away , you can be in front of her . Internationally , the game is commonly played in British girls ' independent schools . While a minor sport in Australia , it is played to a very high standard at the elite level . Women 's lacrosse has seen significant growth in Europe since the beginning of the 21st century , particularly in Germany , the Czech Republic , and the Netherlands . Japan entered its first team into the World Cup in 1993 , and South Korea followed suit in 2009 . In 2012 , the first Israeli international team competed in the European Championships in Amsterdam. The Swedish National team took part for the first time in the 2013 World Cup . The Australia national squad won the 2005 Women 's Lacrosse World Cup . The 2009 Women 's World Cup was played in Prague , Czech Republic , won by the United States , and the 2013 World Cup was played in Oshawa , Canada , again won by the United States . College lacrosse ( edit ) Main article : College lacrosse Lacrosse in the United States is played at the collegiate level in both the club and sanctioned team sport . There are currently 71 NCAA sanctioned Division I men 's lacrosse teams , 93 Division II men 's lacrosse teams , and 236 Division III men 's lacrosse teams . There are also currently 91 Division I women 's lacrosse teams , 57 Division II women 's lacrosse Teams , and 201 Division III women 's lacrosse teams . 209 men 's teams compete at the Men 's Collegiate Lacrosse Association level , including most major universities in the United States . Another 107 schools have club teams in the National College Lacrosse League . The first U.S. intercollegiate game was played on November 22 , 1877 between New York University and Manhattan College . Lacrosse had been introduced in upstate New York in the 1860s . Lacrosse was further introduced to the Baltimore area in the 1890s . These two areas continue to be the hotbeds of college lacrosse in the U.S. The first intercollegiate lacrosse tournament was held in 1881 , with Harvard beating Princeton , 3 -- 0 , in the championship game . The NCAA men 's Lacrosse Division I in 1971 , when Cornell took the first championship over Maryland , 12 -- 6 . Johns Hopkins has 9 championships with three consecutive wins from 1978 to 1980 . The other two teams that have three consecutive wins are Syracuse from 1988 to 1990 and Princeton from 1996 to 1998 . Syracuse also holds the NCAA record of championships with 11 , the last occurring in 2009 . In 2013 Duke beat Syracuse to claim the NCAA Division I Championship in Philadelphia . The Division I national championship tournament draws one of the largest crowds of any Division I NCAA sport . The NCAA men 's Lacrosse Division III is growing at a much faster rate than Division I . There are currently 208 Division III teams playing in 25 different conferences in 2013 , compared to 130 teams in 2005 . Stevenson University was the 2013 Division III national champion . In non-hotbed areas , the Men 's Collegiate Lacrosse Association ( MCLA ) is the dominant league for men 's teams . MCLA schools can not also have an NCAA men 's program , so the league 's balance of power lies with teams such as Colorado , Colorado State , Arizona State , and several University of California campuses . Though considered a `` club '' league due to the MCLA 's status outside traditional NCAA jurisdiction , most perennial top - 20 teams in the league compete at a high Division III or low Division I level , as evidenced by a growing tide of MCLA / NCAA scrimmages . NCAA women 's Lacrosse Division I began play in 1982 . The University of Maryland , College Park has traditionally dominated women 's intercollegiate play , producing many head coaches across the country and many U.S. national team players . The Terrapins won seven consecutive NCAA championships , from 1995 through 2001 . Princeton University 's women 's teams have made it to the final game seven times since 1993 and have won three NCAA titles , in 1993 , 2002 , and 2003 . In recent years , Northwestern University has become a force , winning the national championship from 2005 through 2009 . Maryland ended Northwestern 's streak by defeating the Wildcats in the 2010 final , however Northwestern has since won the 2011 and 2012 national titles . Maryland again claimed the national championship in 2014 . The University of North Carolina has also become a common sight in the NCAA tournament , winning the 2013 championship , and almost beating Maryland in the 2015 championship game . Major League lacrosse ( edit ) Major League Lacrosse ( MLL ) is a semi-professional lacrosse league founded in 1999 in the United States that showcases the world 's best players . The season consists of 56 games running from April to August . MLL uses standard lacrosse rules with several exceptions , such as a 16 - yard 2 - point line and a 60 - second shot clock . Regular season play began in 2001 with 6 teams , with plans to expand to 19 teams . The MLL had 8 teams in 2015 : Boston , Annapolis , New York City , Rochester , Denver , Columbus , Charlotte , and Palm Beach County ( formerly Hamilton ) . A ninth team , the Atlanta Blaze , joined the MLL in April 2016 . International lacrosse ( edit ) Further information : List of national lacrosse organizations Lacrosse has been played for the most part in Canada and the United States , with small but dedicated lacrosse communities in the United Kingdom and Australia . Recently , however , lacrosse has begun to flourish at an international level , with teams being established particularly in Europe and east Asia . With lacrosse not having been an official Olympic sport since 1908 , the pinnacle of international lacrosse competition consists of the quadrennial World Championships . Begun in 1968 , world championships began as a four - team invitational tournament sponsored by the International Lacrosse Federation . Until 1986 , lacrosse world championships had been contested only by the US , Canada , England , and Australia . Scotland and Wales had teams competing in the women 's edition . They are now held for lacrosse at senior men , senior women , under 19 men and under 19 women levels . With the expansion of the game internationally , the 2006 Men 's World Championship was contested by 21 countries and the Iroquois Nationals , representing the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy . They are the only Native American / First Nations team to compete internationally . The 2009 Women 's World Cup was competed for by 16 nations . In 2003 , the first World Indoor Lacrosse Championship was contested by six nations at four sites in Ontario . Canada won the championship in a final game against the Iroquois Nationals , 21 -- 4 . The 2007 WILC was held in Halifax from May 14 -- 20 , and also won by Canada . Competition included the Iroquois Nationals and teams from Australia , Canada , Czech Republic , England , Ireland , Scotland , and the United States . The World Lacrosse Championships have been dominated by the United States , particularly in the men 's game . Its only world championship game losses at either level was in the 1978 final and 2006 final , both to Canada . The USA has won 9 of the 11 senior men 's and all six under - 19 men 's tournaments to date . In the women 's game , Australia has provided stiffer competition , having won 6 of 14 games against the USA at senior world championships , including one draw . The USA has won 6 of the 8 senior women 's , and 2 of the 3 under - 19 women 's tournaments to date , with the other world championships won by Australia . The Iroquois Nationals are a team with members representing the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy . The team was admitted to the International Lacrosse Federation ( ILF ) in 1990 . It is the only First Nations team sanctioned to compete in any sport internationally . The Nationals placed fourth in the 1998 , 2002 and 2006 World Lacrosse Championships . In 2008 , the Iroquois were admitted as the Haudenosunee Nation to the International Federation of Women 's Lacrosse Associations ( IFWLA ) , since merged with the FIL ( see below ) . Federation of international lacrosse ( edit ) One obstacle to the international development of lacrosse had been separate governing bodies for the men 's and women 's versions of the sport . Men 's lacrosse was governed by ILF and the women 's version by IFWLA . In August 2008 , after four years of negotiation , the two bodies merged to form a single unified body , the Federation of International Lacrosse ( FIL ) . All championships previously operated by the ILF and IFWLA were taken over by the FIL . The FIL hosted the 2010 World Lacrosse Championship in Manchester , England , between July 15 to 24 , 2010 . The 2014 World Lacrosse Championship were held in Denver , United States . Internationally , as of 2013 , a total of 47 members belong to the Federation of International Lacrosse ( FIL ) . Only the United States , Canada , Australia , and the Iroquois Nationals have finished in the top three places at the World Lacrosse Championships . The World Indoor Lacrosse Championships are held every four years and are also sponsored by the FIL . Only eight nations have competed so far . Canada , the Iroquois Nationals and the United States have finished in the top three places at these events . Olympic games ( edit ) Lacrosse at the Olympics was a medal earning sport in the 1904 Summer Olympics and the 1908 Summer Olympics . In 1904 , three teams competed in the games held in Saint Louis , Missouri . Two Canadian teams , the Winnipeg Shamrocks and a team of Mohawk people from the Iroquois Confederacy , and an American team represented by the local St. Louis A.A.A. lacrosse club participated , and the Winnipeg Shamrocks captured the gold medal . The 1908 games held in London , England , featured only two teams , representing Canada and Great Britain . The Canadians again won the gold medal in a single championship match by a score of 14 -- 10 . In the 1928 Summer Olympics , 1932 Summer Olympics , and the 1948 Summer Olympics , lacrosse was a demonstration sport . The 1928 Olympics featured three teams : the United States , Canada , and Great Britain . The 1932 games featured a three - game exhibition between a Canadian All - star team and the United States . The United States was represented by Johns Hopkins Blue Jays lacrosse in both the 1928 and 1932 Olympics . To qualify , the Blue Jays won tournaments in the Olympic years to represent the United States . The 1948 games featured an exhibition by an `` All - England '' team organized by the English Lacrosse Union and the collegiate lacrosse team from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute representing the United States . This exhibition ended in a 5 -- 5 tie . There are obstacles to reestablishing lacrosse as an Olympic sport . One hurdle was resolved in 2008 , when the international governing bodies for men 's and women 's lacrosse merged to form Federation of International Lacrosse . Another obstacle is insufficient international participation . To be considered as an Olympic sport the game must be played on four continents , and with at least a total of 75 countries participating . According to one US Lacrosse representative in 2004 , `` it 'll take 15 -- 20 years for us to get there . '' For the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta , Georgia and 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney , Australia , efforts were made to include lacrosse as an exhibition sport , but these failed . Pan American games ( edit ) In spite of being one of the oldest sports in the continent , lacrosse has never being included as a Pan American sport . According to the Pan American Sports Organization , the number of countries enrolled in its member associations is not enough . Nowadays , there are 13 nations enrolled in FIL ( Canada , The United States , Haudenosaunee or Iroquois , Mexico , Bermudas , Colombia , Argentina , Haiti , Peru , Costa Rica , Guatemala , Puerto Rico and Jamaica ) . However , Haudenosaunee nation is not a member of the Pan American Sports Organization . There have been criticisms for the exclusion of native American sports like lacrosse and Ulama or Mesoamerican Ballgame . To calm criticisms lacrosse was included in the opening ceremony Toronto 2015 Pan American Games . Lacrosse in the World games ( edit ) Lacrosse was first played in the World games for the first time in 2017 in the World games held in Poland . Only female teams took part of the competition . The USA won the gold medal defeating Canada in the finals . Australia won the bronze medal match . The Haudenosaunee Nationals women 's lacrosse team could not participate . European lacrosse Foundation ( edit ) A player taking a `` dive shot '' . The next largest international lacrosse competition are the European Lacrosse Championships , held for both men and women 's teams . Since 1995 , the European Lacrosse Federation ( ELF ) has been running the European Championships . Before 2001 they held the Championships annually , but that year the ELF changed the format to every four years , between the World Championships . Before 2004 , only seven nations had ever participated . In 2004 , a record number of countries participated , fielding 12 men 's and 6 women 's teams , making it the largest international lacrosse event of the year . In 2008 , the European Lacrosse Championships were held in Lahti , Finland , with 18 competing countries . England placed first with the Netherlands and Germany placing second and third , respectively . The most recent ELF Championships were held in Amsterdam in 2012 . England was victorious over Ireland in the championship game , and Sweden took third place . 32 nations compete now in the international lacrosse championships for the year 2014 . Equipment ( edit ) Lacrosse sticks To play lacrosse a complete set of equipment is needed . Each set of lacrosse equipment should contain a pair of gloves , elbow pads , shoulder pads , helmet and a stick at minimum . Pads differ in size and protection from player to player based on position , ability , comfort and preference . For example , many attack players wear larger and more protective pads to protect themselves from defensemen and checks thrown at them while defenders typically wear smaller and less protective pads due to their smaller possibility of being checked . Goalies also have the option to skip arm pads entirely , since they are in the goal throughout the duration of the game . Not using arm pads also maximizes flexibility due to no fabric or pad hindering them . A goalkeeper will also wear a very large and protective chest pad to cover their stomach and chest . They also wear a plastic neck guard that connects to the chin of their helmet , this protects them from shots hitting their neck and or windpipe . In addition , male goalkeepers are required to wear a protective cup . The lacrosse stick has two parts , the head of the stick and the shaft . There are many varieties and types of each . There are different heads for different positions and different playing style . An attack may desire a more narrow head to keep control of the ball more easily . A defenseman may want a flatter and wider head to scoop up ground balls more easily . There are various shafts that can be used based on position and preference . An attacking player may prefer a lighter shaft to move quickly while cradling the ball and pass / shooter faster . A defenseman may want a stronger , heavier and more durable for the checks that they throw on attacking players . Stick heads ( edit ) There are typically three parts to every lacrosse head , the scoop , sidewall , and pocket . The scoop is the top of the stick that affects picking up ground ball and passing / shooting . The scoop can be more of a flat shape so that it is easier to pick up ground balls as that part of the head has a larger volume of plastic on the ground or it can be more of a U shape where it is harder to pick ground balls up due to less plastic on the ground . They both have pro 's and con 's , where a flatter scoop allows an easier time picking up a ground ball but less ball retention / accuracy whereas U shaped scoops are harder to use to pick up ground balls but have more ball retention and accuracy . The sidewall is the side of the head that affects the depth of the head and the stiffness . More stiff sidewalls and heads are better to use for defensemen to throw more viable checks . More flexible sidewalls are better use for ground balls , faceoffs and fast movements . Many players who take faceoffs prefer a very flexible sidewall to bend and cover the ball . Some faceoff players prefer an incredibly hard head if they are confident in their clamping speed ; as this allows their stick to maintain integrity against another player trying to dig it out . The pocket is the mesh of the head and the width of the head at the base . A wider pocket allows an easier time catching balls , but will also cause less ball control . A narrower pocket makes catching harder , but allows more ball retention and accuracy . Many sticks , like the Lakota U , have a narrower sidewall but a wider top , offering a compromise between ground balls and ball control . Shaft lengths & types ( edit ) Shaft lengths by position : Attack and Midfielders use the shortest shafts on the field and are 30 inches . Defensemen and Long Stick Midfielders ( LSM ) use the longest shafts on the field use the full 60 inch shafts . Standard Goalie shafts come in the 40 inch length but some players prefer and can use a shaft down to 30 inches . Attack : 30 inch shaft Midfield : 30 inch shaft Goalie : 40 inch shaft LSM : 60 inch shaft Defense : 60 inch shaft Shafts by Material Varying in materials , different shafts can lend favorable performance traits to each position . Offensive players tend to use a lighter shaft for increased speed and ball control while defensive players lean towards a slightly heavier but more durable option for checking . Aluminum : Available in several different grades and are typically weaker , lightweight , but a good shaft for developing players . Dings , scratches , and bends will appear after very few games at an intermediate level . Carbon Fiber : Increasingly popular due to its incredibly light weight to high strength ratio . Offers new performance benefits such as increased shot speed and will not permanently bend or dent during checking . Incredibly hard to break , but will completely snap at failure . Titanium : Extremely popular prior to carbon fiber and alloy blends . Superior durability and strength , but relatively heavy compared to newer shafts . Great for both giving and receiving checks and preferred by defensive players . Scandium -- Titanium : Lacrosse 's elite hybrid alloy shaft with insane durability and extreme light weight performance . The most popular shaft in today 's market serving both needs for offense and defense , used typically at the high school and collegiate levels . Scandium : Great all around performance and highly popular . Extreme light weight performance and great durability with well balanced performance at affordable price points . Wood : Widely popular before the introduction of metal shafts , since then wood has become more a novelty in today 's field game . Delivering durable performance at arguably the heaviest weight in shafts , mostly used in recreational or pick up games .

Gretchen Mol
Gretchen Mol - wikipedia Gretchen Mol Jump to : navigation , search Gretchen Mol Mol in June 2009 ( 1972 - 11 - 08 ) November 8 , 1972 ( age 44 ) Deep River , Connecticut , U.S. Occupation Actress , former model Years active 1996 -- present Spouse ( s ) Kip Williams ( m . 2004 ) Children Gretchen Mol ( born November 8 , 1972 ) is an American actress and former model . She is known for her roles in the films Rounders , Celebrity , 3 : 10 to Yuma , The Thirteenth Floor , and The Notorious Bettie Page , in which she played the title character . She also appeared as Gillian Darmody in HBO 's Boardwalk Empire . Contents ( hide ) 1 Early life 2 Stage 3 Film 4 Television 5 Personal life 6 Filmography 6.1 Film 6.2 Television 7 References 8 External links Early Life ( edit ) Mol was born in Deep River , Connecticut , where her mother , Janet ( née Morgan ) , is an artist and teacher , and her father was a school teacher at RHAM . She went to high school with Broadway actor Peter Lockyer , with whom she performed in school musicals and plays . Her brother , Jim Mol , is a director and editor in the film industry . Mol attended The American Musical and Dramatic Academy and graduated from the William Esper Studio . After summer stock in Vermont , she took a job for a while as an usher at Angelika Film Center . She was living in a Hell 's Kitchen walk - up when she was noticed by a talent agent who spotted her working as a hat check girl at Michael 's Restaurant in New York . Stage ( edit ) Mol 's acting career began in summer stock theatre in Vermont where she played a variety of roles including Godspell and 110 in the Shade . She played Jenny in Neil LaBute 's The Shape of Things on stage in both London and New York in 2001 , in a role she reprised in the film version , released in 2003 . The New York Times critic Ben Brantley , in his review of the play ( which he disliked ) , wrote , `` ( Mol ) gives by far the most persuasive performance as the unworldly Jenny , and you wind up feeling for her disproportionately , only because she seems to be entirely there , in the present tense '' . In 2004 , Mol spent a year singing and dancing as Roxie in the Broadway production of Chicago . In 2014 -- 2015 , Mol played the role of Emily in the Broadway debut of the Pulitzer Prize -- winning Ayad Akhtar play Disgraced . Film ( edit ) In 1994 , Mol was spotted by photographer David William Powell . He photographed her in New York 's Central Park and replaced her unrepresentative portfolio with professional - looking black - and - white images which landed her on the cover of W within weeks , and foreshadowed her `` It Girl '' and `` Bettie Page '' looks . Shortly afterwards , she ended her brief modeling career and entered acting full - time . While major roles have been sporadic , Mol has been in more than 30 feature films . She made her film debut in Spike Lee 's 1996 film , Girl 6 . She said , `` I was auditioning for Guiding Light and I was happy I got a Spike Lee movie , which was a tiny part , but all of a sudden I had Spike Lee on my resume . I did n't audition for day player anymore '' . After Girl 6 , New York filmmaker Abel Ferrara took notice and cast her in two movies , The Funeral ( 1996 ) and New Rose Hotel ( 1998 ) . She had a small role in Donnie Brasco ( 1997 ) , but by now , she was being typecast as `` the girlfriend '' , which she attempted to change by taking a role opposite Jude Law in Music from Another Room ( 1998 ) , a romantic comedy . The film went virtually unnoticed by critics and audiences . In 1998 , she appeared in several notable films including Rounders , starring Matt Damon and Woody Allen 's Celebrity opposite Leonardo DiCaprio . In 1998 , she also came to prominence when she was featured on the cover of Vanity Fair , dubbed the `` It Girl of the Nineties '' by the magazine . For her second film with Woody Allen , 1999 's Sweet and Lowdown , she played a minor role which the Greenwich Village Gazette called `` notable '' . She played the female lead role in the 1999 film The Thirteenth Floor . She played the victim of a con artist in the 2003 film , Heavy Put - Away , based on the Terry Southern story . In 2006 , she shared the lead in a romantic comedy , Puccini for Beginners , in which her character has a lesbian affair . Mol worked with Mary Harron for two years as the director struggled to finance The Notorious Bettie Page : `` I kind of felt like I lived with it for a while ; certainly not as long as Mary Harron did but I got a good chance to really feel like I knew something about Bettie so by the time the role was mine and I was on set , I was pretty confident . I felt like I really worked for it . '' The next year , 2007 , was one of her busiest , with four films in production or in release , including a remake of 3 : 10 to Yuma starring Russell Crowe , and An American Affair , in which her character , Catherine Caswell , has an affair with John F. Kennedy . When released in February 2009 , the film was harshly criticized by New York Times critic Stephen Holden , though he said that Mol 's part was `` quite well acted '' . In April 2008 , she began filming Tenure in Philadelphia , working opposite Luke Wilson and Andrew Daly . Though it had received some good reviews after being screened at several film festivals , it was released direct - to - video in February 2010 . Television ( edit ) Mol discussing Boardwalk Empire in 2015 Mol 's first television work was in a Coca - Cola commercial . Mol had a small role of Maggie Tilton in the 1996 miniseries Dead Man 's Walk , based on the Larry McMurtry novel . She also was in a few episodes of Spin City . She was the star of the short - lived David E. Kelley series Girls Club ( 2002 ) , a drama about three women lawyers . The series was not well received and it was cancelled after two episodes . She appeared in two TV remakes of classic films : Picnic ( 2000 ) , in the role of Madge Owens , and The Magnificent Ambersons as Lucy Morgan ( 2002 ) . She made a Hallmark Hall of Fame television movie in January 2007 , starring in The Valley of Light , a story set in post-World War II based on a novel by Terry Kay . It was her second Hallmark production . She had a minor role in Calm at Sunset in 1996 . She played Norah in The Memory Keeper 's Daughter which aired in the U.S. on The Lifetime Channel in the U.S. in April 2008 . She played Annie in the ABC series Life on Mars , the U.S. remake of the British show of the same name . It started airing in the U.S. on October 9 , 2008 and ran 17 episodes , concluding on April 1 , 2009 . She had a recurring role on HBO 's Boardwalk Empire as Gillian Darmody , a showgirl at the Beaux Arts and mother to gangster Jimmy Darmody ( played by Michael Pitt ) . Personal Life ( edit ) Interviewed by the Associated Press in Baltimore in December 2006 , Mol commented about how she maintained her confidence as an actress : `` It is an ongoing struggle . Confidence is something that sometimes you have and sometimes you do n't . And the older you get , hopefully , the more you have some tools to at least fake it '' . She married film director Kip Williams on June 1 , 2004 . Their first child , Ptolemy John Williams , was born September 10 , 2007 . On February 17 , 2011 , Mol gave birth to their second child , daughter Winter Morgan Williams . While raising Ptolemy , Mol has only taken jobs close to her home in New York City . `` I told my agent I did n't want to work in L.A. , even if it was the greatest job in the world . I did n't want to compromise . '' Mol serves as the national spokesperson in the United States for the PMD Foundation , which funds research and awareness of Pelizaeus -- Merzbacher disease , a neurological disorder afflicting children worldwide . Mol became involved with PMD after one of her cousins died from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ( familiarly known as `` Lou Gehrig 's Disease '' ) .

Unlike manual dishwashing , which relies largely on physical scrubbing to remove soiling , the mechanical dishwasher cleans by spraying hot water , typically between 45 and 75 ° C ( 110 and 170 ° F ) , at the dishes , with lower temperatures used for delicate items . A mix of water and dishwasher detergent is pumped to one or more rotating spray arms , which blast the dishes with the cleaning mixture . Once the wash is finished , the water is drained , more hot water enters the tub by means of an electro - mechanical solenoid , and the rinse cycle begins . After the rinse cycle finishes and the water is drained , the dishes are dried using one of several drying methods . Typically a rinse - aid , a chemical to reduce surface tension of the water , is used to eliminate water spots for streak - free dishes and glassware resulting from hard water or other reasons . In addition to domestic units , industrial dishwashers are available for use in commercial establishments such as hotels and restaurants , where a large number of dishes must be cleaned . Washing is conducted with temperatures of 65 -- 71 ° C ( 149 -- 160 ° F ) and sanitation is achieved by either the use of a booster heater that will provide an 82 ° C ( 180 ° F ) `` final rinse '' temperature or through the use of a chemical sanitizer .

Dishwasher use starts with installation as an appliance . Most home users fix their dishwashers in one place , such as under a countertop . The user scrapes dishes clean , such as by pushing uneaten food from a plate into a waste container as food waste . From the early 1960 's , manufacturers have designed consumer dishwashers for use without pre-rinsing or pre-washing . In the early eighties machines were introduced with `` hard food waste disposers '' that can grind harder food wastes such as seeds , popcorn hulls , etc ... Dishwashers are designed to hold different dishes in different places . For the most common installed two - rack consumer style of dishwasher , the user loads cups , bowls , and small dishes onto the top rack . Eating utensils go in the bottom rack into a container , with pointed ends down for safety . Some dishwashers have a third rack for utensils . Heavier dishes go on the bottom rack , with large pots facing downward toward the spray nozzle . After the dishwasher is loaded , the user puts dishwasher detergent into the machine . Contemporary dishwashers use sensors to determine how much washing is required , and when they finish , will provide clean dishes . Dishwashers and the detergents used in dishwashers are not designed for use with some materials . The washing cycle 's heat and chemicals can harm kitchen knives and non-stick surface pans . Detergents have their own usage restrictions , including not being safe for cleaning various materials like wood or certain metals . History ( edit ) A hand - powered dishwasher and an early electric dishwasher both from about 1917 . The first mechanical dishwashing device was registered in 1850 in the United States by Joel Houghton for a hand - powered wood device . This device was made of wood and was cranked by hand while water sprayed onto the dishes . This device was both slow and unreliable . Another patent was granted to L.A. Alexander in 1865 that was similar to the first but featured a hand - cranked rack system . Neither device was practical or widely accepted . Subsequently another hand - powered dishwasher was invented in 1887 by Josephine Cochrane with the help of George Butters in Josephine 's tool shed in Shelbyville , Illinois and was unveiled at the 1893 World 's Fair in Chicago , Illinois under the name of Lavadora but was changed to Lavaplatos as another machine invented in 1858 already held that name . This machine is what everyone now knows as the washing machine . Cochrane 's inspiration was her frustration at the damage to her good china that occurred when her servants handled it during cleaning . Advertisement in an 1896 issue of McClure 's for The Faultless Quaker Dishwasher . Europe 's first domestic dishwasher with an electric motor was invented and manufactured by Miele in 1929 . In the United Kingdom , William Howard Livens invented a small , non-electric dishwasher suitable for domestic use in 1924 . It was the first dishwasher that incorporated most of the design elements that are featured in the models of today ; it included a front door for loading , a wire rack to hold the dirty crockery and a rotating sprayer . Drying elements were even added to his design in 1940 . It was the first machine suitable for domestic use , and it came at a time when permanent plumbing and running water in the house was becoming increasingly common . Despite this , Liven 's design did not become a commercial success , and dishwashers were only successfully sold as domestic utilities in the postwar boom of the 1950s , albeit only to the wealthy . Initially dishwashers were sold as standalone or portable devices , but with the development of the wall - to - wall countertop and standardized height cabinets , dishwashers began to be marketed with standardized sizes and shapes , integrated underneath the kitchen countertop as a modular unit with other kitchen appliances . By the 1970s dishwashers had become commonplace in domestic residences in North America and Western Europe . By 2012 , over 75 percent of homes in the United States and Germany had dishwashers . In the late 1990 's manufactures began offering various new energy conservation features in dishwashers . One feature was use of `` soil sensors '' , which was a computerized tool in the dishwasher which measured food particles coming from dishes . When the dishwasher had cleaned the dishes to the point of not releasing more food particles , then the soil sensor would report the dishes being cleaned . The sensor operated with another innovation of using variable washing time . If dishes were especially dirty , then the dishwasher would run for a longer time than if the sensor detected them to be clean . In this way , the dishwasher saves energy and water by only being in operation for as long as needed . Design ( edit ) Size and capacity ( edit ) North American counter-top dishwasher Dishwashers that are installed into standard kitchen cabinets have a standard width and depth of 60 cm ( Europe ) or 24 inches ( US ) , and most dishwashers must be installed into a hole a minimum of 86 cm ( Europe ) or 34 inches ( US ) tall . Portable dishwashers exist in 45 and 60 cm ( Europe ) or 18 and 24 inch ( US ) widths , with casters and attached countertops . Dishwashers may come in standard or tall tub designs ; standard tub dishwashers have a service kickplate beneath the dishwasher door that allows for simpler maintenance and installation , but tall tub dishwashers have approximately 20 % more capacity and better sound dampening from having a continuous front door . The international standard for the capacity of a dishwasher is expressed as standard place settings . Commercial dishwashers are rated as plates per hour . The rating is based on standard sized plates of the same size . The same can be said for commercial glass washers , as they are based on standard glasses , normally pint glasses . Layout ( edit ) Present - day machines feature a drop - down front panel door , allowing access to the interior , which usually contains two or sometimes three pull - out racks ; racks can also be referred to as `` baskets '' . In older U.S. models from the 1950s , the entire tub rolled out when the machine latch was opened , and loading / removing washable items was from the top , with the user reaching deep into the compartment for some items . Youngstown Kitchens , which manufactured entire kitchen cabinets and sinks , offered a tub - style dishwasher , which was coupled to a conventional kitchen sink as one unit . Today , `` dish drawer '' models mimic this style , while the half - depth design eliminates the inconvenience of the long reach that was necessary with older full - depth models . `` Cutlery baskets '' are also common . A drawer dishwasher , first introduced by Fisher & Paykel in 1997 , is a variant of the dishwasher in which the baskets slide out with the door in the same manner as a drawer filing cabinet , with each drawer in a double - drawer model being able to operate independently of the other . The inside of a dishwasher in the North American market is either stainless steel or plastic . Stainless steel tubs resist hard water , provide better sound damping , and preserve heat to dry dishes more quickly . They also come at a premium price . Older models used baked enamel on steel and are prone to chipping and erosion ; chips in the baked enamel finish must be cleaned of all dirt and corrosion then patched with a special compound or even a good quality two - part epoxy . All European - made dishwashers feature a stainless steel interior as standard , even on low end models . The same is true for a built - in water softener . Washing elements ( edit ) European dishwashers almost universally use two or three spray arms which are fed from the bottom and back wall of the dishwasher leaving both racks unimpeded and also such models tend to use inline water heaters , removing the need for exposed elements in the base of the machine that can melt plastic items near to them . Many North American dishwashers tend to use exposed elements in the base of the dishwasher . Some North American machines , primarily those designed by General Electric , use a wash tube , often called a wash - tower to direct water from the bottom of the dishwasher to the top dish rack . Some dishwashers , including many models from Whirlpool and Kitchenaid , use a tube attached to the top rack that connects to a water source at the back of the dishwasher , and directs water to a second wash arm beneath the upper rack , this allows full use of the bottom rack . Late - model Frigidaire dishwashers shoot a jet of water from the top of the washer down into the upper wash arm , again allowing full use of the bottom rack ( but requiring that a small funnel on the top rack be kept clear ) . Features ( edit ) Play media Clear model of a running dishwasher Mid-to - higher end North American dishwashers often come with hard food disposal units , which behave like miniature garbage ( waste ) disposal units that eliminate large pieces of food waste from the wash water . One manufacturer that is known for omitting hard food disposals is Bosch , a German brand ; however , Bosch does so in order to reduce noise . If the larger items of food waste are removed before placing in the dishwasher , pre-rinsing is not necessary even without integrated waste disposal units . Many new dishwashers feature microprocessor - controlled , sensor - assisted wash cycles that adjust the wash duration to the quantity of dirty dishes ( sensed by changes in water temperature ) or the amount of dirt in the rinse water ( sensed chemically / optically ) . This can save water and energy if the user runs a partial load . In such dishwashers the electromechanical rotary switch often used to control the washing cycle is replaced by a microprocessor but most sensors and valves are still required to be present . However , pressure switches ( some dishwashers use a pressure switch and flow meter ) are not required in most microprocessor controlled dishwashers as they use the motor and sometimes a rotational position sensor to sense the resistance of water ; when it senses there is no cavitation it knows it has the optimal amount of water . A bimetal switch or wax motor opens the detergent door during the wash cycle . Some dishwashers include a child - lockout feature to prevent accidental starting or stopping of the wash cycle by children . A child lock can sometimes be included to prevent young children opening the door during a wash cycle . This prevents accidents with hot water and strong detergents used during the wash cycle . Process ( edit ) Energy use and water temperatures ( edit ) In the European Union , the energy consumption of a dishwasher for a standard usage is shown on a European Union energy label . In the United States , the energy consumption of a dishwasher is defined using the energy factor . Most consumer dishwashers use a 75 ° C ( 167 ° F ) thermostat in the sanitizing process . During the final rinse cycle , the heating element and wash pump are turned on , and the cycle timer ( electronic or electromechanical ) is stopped until the thermostat is tripped . At this point , the cycle timer resumes and will generally trigger a drain cycle within a few timer increments . Most consumer dishwashers use 75 ° C ( 167 ° F ) rather than 83 ° C ( 181 ° F ) for reasons of burn risk , energy and water consumption , total cycle time , and possible damage to plastic items placed inside the dishwasher . With new advances in detergents , lower water temperatures ( 50 -- 55 ° C / 122 -- 131 ° F ) are needed to prevent premature decay of the enzymes used to eat the grease and other build - ups on the dishes . In the US , residential dishwashers can be certified to a NSF International testing protocol which confirms the cleaning and sanitation performance of the unit . Drying ( edit ) The heat inside the dishwasher dries the contents after the final hot rinse ; the final rinse adds a small amount of rinse - aid to the hot water , as this improves drying significantly be reducing the inherent surface tension of the water . Plastic and non-stick items form drops with smaller surface area and may not dry properly compared to china and glass , which also store more heat that better evaporates the little water that remains on them . Some dishwashers incorporate a fan to improve drying . Older dishwashers with a visible heating element ( at the bottom of the wash cabinet , below the bottom basket ) may use the heating element to improve drying ; however , this uses more energy . North American dishwashers tend to use heat - assisted drying via an exposed element . European machines and some high end North American machines use passive methods for drying -- a stainless steel interior helps this process and some models use heat exchange technology between the inner and outer skin of the machine to cool the walls of the interior and speed up drying . Most dishwashers feature a drying sensor and as such , a dish - washing cycle is always considered complete when a drying indicator , usually in the form of an illuminated `` end '' light , or in more modern models on a digital display or audible sound , exhibits to the operator that the washing and drying cycle is now over . Governmental agencies often recommend air - drying dishes by either disabling or stopping the drying cycle to save energy . Differences between dishwashers and hand washing ( edit ) Dishwasher detergent ( edit ) Main article : Dishwasher detergent A detergent tablet Dishwashers are designed to work using specially formulated dishwasher detergent . Over time , many regions have banned the use of phosphates in detergent and phosphorous based compounds . They were previously used as they have properties that aid in effective cleaning . The concern was the increase in algal blooms in waterways caused by increasing phosphate levels ( see eutrophication ) . Seventeen US states have partial or full bans on the use of phosphates in dish detergent , and two US states ( Maryland and New York ) ban phosphates in commercial dishwashing . Detergent companies claimed it is not cost effective to make separate batches of detergent for the states with phosphate bans ( although detergents are typically formulated for local markets ) , and so most have voluntarily removed phosphates from all dishwasher detergents . In addition , rinse aids have contained nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylates . These have been banned in the European Union by EU Directive 76 / 769 / EEC . In some regions depending on water hardness a dishwasher might function better with the use of a dishwasher salt . Glassware ( edit ) Glassware washed by dishwashing machines can develop a white haze on the surface over time . This may be caused by any or all of the below processes , only the last of which is reversible : Silicate filming , etching , and accelerated crack corrosion This film starts as an iridescence or `` oil - film '' effect on glassware , and progresses into a `` milky '' or `` cloudy '' appearance ( which is not a deposit ) that can not be polished off or removed like limescale . It is formed because the detergent is strongly alkaline ( basic ) and glass dissolves slowly in alkaline aqueous solution . It becomes less soluble in the presence of silicates in the water ( added as anti-metal - corrosion agents in the dishwasher detergent ) . Since the cloudy appearance is due to nonuniform glass dissolution , it is ( somewhat paradoxically ) less marked if dissolution is higher , i.e. if a silicate - free detergent is used ; also , in certain cases , the etching will primarily be seen in areas that have microscopic surface cracks as a result of the items ' manufacturing . Limitation of this undesirable reaction is possible by controlling water hardness , detergent load and temperature . The type of glass is an important factor in determining if this effect is a problem . Some dishwashers can reduce this etching effect by automatically dispensing the correct amount of detergent throughout the wash cycle based on the level of water hardness programmed . Devitrification Components found in dishwasher detergents can chemically scour the glass , causing tiny crystals , which can precipitate further crystal growth that can turn entire glasses cloudy Dissolution of lead Lead in Lead crystal can be converted into a soluble form by the high temperatures and strong alkali detergents of dishwashers , which could endanger the health of subsequent users . Deposition of minerals Calcium carbonate in hard water can deposit on surfaces when water dries . The deposits can be dissolved by vinegar or other acid . Other materials ( edit ) Other materials besides glass are also harmed by the strong detergents , strong agitation and high temperatures of dishwashers , especially on a hot wash cycle when temperatures can reach 75 ° C ( 167 ° F ) . Aluminium , brass and copper items will discolor , and light aluminum containers will mark other items they knock into . Nonstick pan coatings will deteriorate . Glossy , gold - colored or hand - painted items will be dulled or fade . Fragile items and sharp edges will be dulled or damaged from colliding with other items and / or thermal stress . Sterling silver and pewter will oxidize and discolour from the heat and from contact with metals lower on the Galvanic series such as stainless steel . Furthermore , pewter has a low melting point and may warp in some dishwashers . Glued items , such as hollow - handle knives or wooden cutting boards , will melt or soften in a dishwasher , High temperatures and moisture damage wood . high temperatures damage many plastics , especially in the bottom rack close to an exposed heating element ( many newer dishwashers have a concealed heating element away from the bottom rack entirely ) . Squeezing plastic items into small spaces may cause the plastic to distort in shape . Cast iron cookware is normally seasoned with oil or grease and heat , which causes the oil or grease to be absorbed into the pores of the cookware , thereby giving a smooth relatively non-stick cooking surface which is stripped off by the combination of alkali based detergent and hot water in a dishwasher . Knives and other cooking tools that are made of carbon steel , semi-stainless steels like D2 or specialized , highly hardened cutlery steels like ZDP189 corrode in the extended moisture bath of dishwashers , compared to briefer baths of hand washing . Cookware is made of Austenitic stainless steels , which are more stable . Items contaminated by chemicals such as wax , cigarette ash , poisons , mineral oils , wet paints , oiled tools , furnace filters etc. can contaminate a dishwasher , since the surfaces inside small water passages can not be wiped clean as surfaces are in hand - washing , so contaminants remain to affect future loads . Objects contaminated by solvents may explode in a dishwasher . Environmental comparison ( edit ) Dishwashers use less water , and therefore less fuel to heat the water , than hand washing , except for small quantities washed in wash bowls without running water . Hand - washing techniques vary by individual . According to a peer - reviewed study in 2003 , hand washing and drying of an amount of dishes equivalent to a fully loaded automatic dishwasher ( no cookware or bakeware ) could use between 20 and 300 litres ( 5.3 and 79.3 US gal ) of water and between 0.1 and 8 kWh of energy , while the numbers for energy - efficient automatic dishwashers were 15 -- 22 litres ( 4.0 -- 5.8 US gal ) and 1 to 2 kWh , respectively . The study concluded that fully loaded dishwashers use less energy , water , and detergent than the average European hand - washer . For the automatic dishwasher results , the dishes were not rinsed before being loaded . The study does not address costs associated with the manufacture and disposal of dishwashers , the cost of possible accelerated wear of dishes from the chemical harshness of dishwasher detergent , the comparison for cleaning cookware , or the value of labour saved ; hand washers needed between 65 and 106 minutes . Several points of criticism on this study have been raised . For example , kilowatt hours of electricity were compared against energy used for heating hot water without taking into account possible inefficiencies . Also , inefficient human washers were compared against optimal usage of a fully loaded dishwasher without manual pre-rinsing that can take up to 100 litres ( 26 US gal ) of water . A 2009 study showed that the microwave and the dishwasher were both more effective ways to clean domestic sponges than handwashing . Adoption ( edit ) Commercial use ( edit ) A commercial dishwasher A Hobart commercial dishwasher Large heavy - duty dishwashers are available for use in commercial establishments ( e.g. hotels , restaurants ) where a large number of dishes must be cleaned . Unlike a residential dishwasher , a commercial dishwasher does not utilize a drying cycle ( commercial drying is achieved by heated ware meeting open air once the wash / rinse / sanitation cycles have been completed ) and thus are significantly faster than their residential counterparts . Washing is conducted with 65 -- 71 ° C / 150 -- 160 ° F temperatures and sanitation is achieved by either the use of a booster heater that will provide the machine 82 ° C / 180 ° F `` final rinse '' temperature or through the use of a chemical sanitizer . This distinction labels the machines as either `` high - temp '' or `` low - temp '' . Some commercial dishwashers work similarly to a commercial car wash , with a pulley system that pulls the rack through a small chamber ( known widely as a `` rack conveyor '' systems ) . Single - rack washers require an operator to push the rack into the washer , close the doors , start the cycle , and then open the doors to pull out the cleaned rack , possibly through a second opening into an unloading area . In the UK , the British Standards Institution set standards for dishwashers . In the US , NSF International ( an independent not - for - profit organization ) sets the standards for wash and rinse time along with minimum water temperature for chemical or hot water sanitizing methods . There are many types of commercial dishwashers including under counter , single tank , conveyor , flight type , and carousel machines . Commercial dishwashers often have significantly different plumbing and operations than a home unit , in that there are often separate spray arms for washing and rinsing / sanitizing . The wash water is heated with an in - tank electric heat element and mixed with a cleaning solution , and is used repeatedly from one load to the next . The wash tank usually has a large strainer basket to collect food debris , and the strainer may not be emptied until the end of the day 's kitchen operations . Water used for rinsing and sanitizing is generally delivered directly through building water supply , and is not reusable . The used rinse water falls into the wash tank reservoir , which dilutes some of the used wash water and causes a small amount to drain out through an overflow tube . The system may first rinse with pure water only , and then sanitize with an additive solution that is left on the dishes as they leave the washer to dry . Additional soap is periodically added to the main wash water tank , from either large soap concentrate tanks or dissolved from a large solid soap block , to maintain wash water cleaning effectiveness . Alternative uses ( edit ) Dishwashers can be used to cook certain foods , in particular salmon . They can clean toothbrushes , toys , some sporting goods , switchplate covers , vent covers and grilles .

Galadriel
Galadriel - wikipedia Galadriel Jump to : navigation , search Galadriel Tolkien 's legendarium character Aliases Alatáriel Altáriel Artanis Nerwen Race Elves Book ( s ) The Fellowship of the Ring The Two Towers The Return of the King The Silmarillion Unfinished Tales Galadriel ( IPA : ( ɡaˈladri. ɛl ) ) is a fictional character created by J.R.R. Tolkien , appearing in his Middle - earth legendarium . She appears in The Lord of the Rings , The Silmarillion , and Unfinished Tales . She was a royal Elf of both the Noldor and the Teleri , being a grandchild of both King Finwë and King Olwë , and was also close kin of King Ingwë of the Vanyar through her grandmother Indis . She was one of the leaders in the rebellion of the Noldor and their flight from Valinor during the First Age , and she was the only prominent Noldo to survive and eventually return , at the end of the Third Age . Towards the end of her stay in Middle - earth she was co-ruler of Lothlórien with her husband , Lord Celeborn , and was referred to variously as the Lady of Lórien , the Lady of the Galadhrim , the Lady of Light , or the Lady of the Golden Wood . Her daughter Celebrían was the wife of Elrond and mother of Arwen , Elladan and Elrohir . Tolkien describes Galadriel as `` the mightiest and fairest of all the Elves that remained in Middle - earth '' ( after the death of Gil - galad ) and the `` greatest of elven women '' .

Galadriel was the only daughter and youngest child of Finarfin , prince of the Noldor , and of Eärwen , who was cousin to Lúthien . Her elder brothers were Finrod Felagund , Angrod , and Aegnor . She was born in Valinor during the Years of the Trees . Galadriel is described as having been `` blessed with the ability to peer into the minds of others and she judged them so fairly . But in Fëanor , she only sees darkness '' . As one of the members of the royal house of Finwë and having the blood of the Vanyar from her paternal grandmother , Indis , she was often called the fairest of all Elves , either in Aman or Middle - earth . According to the older account of her story , sketched by Tolkien in The Road Goes Ever On and used in The Silmarillion , Galadriel was an eager participant and leader in the rebellion of the Noldor and their flight from Valinor ; in fact , she was the `` only female to stand tall in those days '' . She had , however , long since parted ways with Fëanor and his sons , and did not participate in the Kinslaying at Alqualondë . In Beleriand she lived with her brother Finrod Felagund at Nargothrond and at the court of Thingol and Melian in Doriath . In this account she met Celeborn , a kinsman of Thingol , in Doriath . After the War of Wrath , the Valar prohibited the leaders of the Exiles from returning to the Undying Lands , so as one of those leaders Galadriel remained an Exile in Middle - earth . At the end of the Third Age , when she refused the One Ring , she was finally allowed to return to Valinor . Unfinished Tales gathers many other accounts of Galadriel and Celeborn . One of these highlights a second version of how Galadriel came to Middle - earth . She lived with her mother 's kindred in the Telerin port of Alqualondë and there met Celeborn , who would become her husband and co-ruler . Celeborn , by this account , was Olwë 's grandson . Galadriel and Celeborn sailed from the West and came to Beleriand separately from the two main hosts of the Noldor ( one that Fëanor led in the ships of the Teleri , the other led by Fingolfin and Finrod that crossed the Helcaraxë ) . Galadriel was thus not directly involved in the revolt of the Noldorin princes in this version , and indeed fought against them at Alqualondë during the kinslaying ; but she fell under the Ban of the Valar because she left the Undying Lands without permission . In Beleriand she and Celeborn were welcomed by Thingol and lived in Doriath . When the Noldor arrived in Beleriand , Galadriel re-established contact with her brothers . In this version of the story , she is offered a pardon by the Valar , but refused it out of pride and therefore remained under the Ban . In even later accounts from Unfinished Tales , written not long before Tolkien died , Galadriel was not even subject to the Ban , and remained in Middle - earth of her own volition . In both versions Celeborn and Galadriel play no important role in the Battles of Beleriand , as they judge the War of the Jewels to be hopeless against Morgoth 's strength . Little is told of their subsequent activities in the First Age , and they leave Beleriand before the War of Wrath . Second Age ( edit ) They travelled first to Lindon , where they ruled over a group of Elves , probably as a fiefdom under Gil - galad who was the last High King of the Noldor . According to Concerning Galadriel and Celeborn , they then removed to the shores of Lake Nenuial ( Evendim ) , and were accounted the Lord and Lady of all the Elves of Eriador . Later , around SA 700 , they moved eastward and established ( or were welcomed into ) the realm of Eregion or Hollin . At this time they made contact with a Nandorin settlement in the valley of the Anduin , which later became Lothlórien . At some point Celeborn and Galadriel left Eregion ( where Celebrimbor either had been or now became the ruler ) and settled in Lothlórien . According to some accounts , they became rulers of Lothlórien for a time during the Second Age ; but in all accounts they would return to Lórien to take up its rule after Amroth was lost in the middle of the Third Age . Early in the Second Age , the Númenórean King Tar - Aldarion presented some Mallorn seeds to Gil - galad , High - King of the Noldor in Middle - earth , ruler of the Kingdom of Lindon , the westernmost realm in Middle - earth ; but these did not take root in his kingdom , so Gil - galad gave them instead to Galadriel . `` Under her power '' the mellyrn had sprouted in the land of Lothlórien , but `` they did not reach the height or girth of the groves of Númenor . '' Celeborn and Galadriel had a daughter , Celebrían , who later married Elrond Half - elven of Rivendell , thus making Galadriel and her husband Celeborn the grandparents of the twins Elladan and Elrohir and their younger sister Arwen Undómiel , future Queen of the Reunited Kingdom of Gondor and Arnor . During the Second Age , when the Rings of Power were forged , Galadriel distrusted Annatar , the loremaster who taught the craft of the Rings to Celebrimbor and the other Noldor of Eregion . According to some accounts , Celebrimbor rebelled against her view and seized power in Eregion , so Galadriel departed to Lórien via the gates of Moria , though Celeborn stayed behind as he refused to enter the dwarves ' stronghold . Her distrust was justified , for Annatar was revealed as Sauron pretending to be an emissary from the Vala Aulë . When Sauron attacked Eregion , Celebrimbor entrusted Galadriel with one of the Three Rings of the Elves , Nenya , the Ring of Water or the Ring of Adamant . Celeborn joined up with Elrond , whose force was unable to relieve Eregion but managed to escape back to Imladris . Celeborn was reunited with Galadriel after the war ended ; according to one text , after some years in Imladris ( during which Elrond first saw and fell in love with Celebrían ) Galadriel 's sea - longing became so strong that the couple removed to Belfalas and lived at the place later called Dol Amroth . With the fall of Gil - galad in the War of the Last Alliance , Galadriel , Elrond , and Círdan became the most prominent of the rulers among the elves in Middle - earth , and Galadriel the foremost of the remaining Exiles . Third Age ( edit ) Conscious of Sauron 's power and wishing to thwart it , she did not use her Ring so long as the One Ring was in Sauron 's hands . However , during the Third Age , when the One Ring was lost , she put hers to use in making Lothlórien a fair refuge for the Nandor . In the years after the departure and loss of Amroth and Nimrodel , Galadriel maintained constant vigilance against Sauron and often strove with him in thought . Sauron was said to have great desire to see into her mind , but could not so long as he did not have the One Ring . During the latter part of the Third Age , when Lothlórien was closed to outsiders , the Lord and Lady of the Galadhrim maintained communication with Imladris , but less so with the Silvan Elves of Mirkwood . She was the original convenor of the White Council . `` And now at last it comes . You will give me the Ring freely ! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen . And I shall not be dark , but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night ! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain ! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning ! Stronger than the foundations of the earth . All shall love me and despair ! '' ( Galadriel ) lifted up her hand and from the ring that she wore there issued a great light that illuminated her alone and left all else dark ... Then she let her hand fall , and the light faded , and suddenly she laughed again , and lo ! she was shrunken : a slender elf - woman , clad in simple white , whose gentle voice was soft and sad . `` I pass the test , '' she said . `` I will diminish , and go into the West and remain Galadriel . '' J.R.R. Tolkien , The Fellowship of the Ring In The Fellowship of the Ring , Galadriel welcomed the Fellowship to Lothlórien after their escape from Moria . When she met the Fellowship in her tree - dwelling in Caras Galadhon , she gave each member a searching look , testing their resolve -- though Boromir interpreted this test as a temptation . She was in turn tested when Frodo Baggins offered to place the Ring in her keeping . Knowing that its corrupting influence would make her `` great and terrible '' , and recalling the ambitions that had once brought her to Middle - earth , she refused the Ring . She accepted that her own ring 's power would fail and that her people would diminish and fade with the One Ring 's destruction , and that her only escape from the fading of the Elves and the dominion of Men was to return at last to Valinor . There is the suggestion in the novel , backed up by other writings , that in acknowledgement of this renunciation of power her personal ban from Valinor was lifted and she was finally given leave to return over the sea . When the Fellowship left Lothlórien , she gave each member a gift and an Elven cloak , and outfitted the party with boats and supplies , both as practical support and as a symbol of faith , hope and goodwill . On the day that the Fellowship left Lórien , Gandalf arrived , carried by the eagle Gwaihir . Galadriel healed his wounds and reclothed him in white , signaling his new status as head of the Istari . During the last battles of the War of the Ring , Lórien was reportedly besieged three times by the armies of Dol Guldur . It was stated that Lórien resisted the attacks due to the bravery of its inhabitants ; but also that `` the power that dwelt there was too great for any to overcome , unless Sauron had come there himself . '' After Sauron perished , Celeborn led the host of Lórien across the Anduin and captured Dol Guldur . Galadriel came forth and `` threw down its walls and laid bare its pits '' , recalling the deeds of Lúthien Tinúviel , who did the same at Tol Sirion in the First Age . Galadriel passed over the Great Sea with Elrond , Gandalf , and the Ring - bearers Bilbo and Frodo Baggins , marking the end of the Third Age . Celeborn remained behind , and Tolkien writes that `` there is no record of the day when at last he sought the Grey Havens '' . She is the only one of the leaders of the Noldorin exiles to return . She was well over 7,000 years old at that time . Names and titles ( edit ) Galadriel was originally named Artanis ( Q. ' ar ' = noble , ' nis ' = woman , a name common to royal women of the Elves , most prominently as in the form Arwen , Galadriel 's granddaughter ) , and Nerwen ( Q. ' ner ' = man , ' wen ' = maiden , hence manly maiden ) , referring to her height and strength ; Galadriel is the Sindarinized version of Telerin Quenya Alatáriel ( Q. ' alatá ' = radiance , ' riel ' = maiden crowned with a garland ) , a name given her by Celeborn , referring to her silver - golden hair . The name Galadhriel ( S. ' galadh ' = tree , ' riel ' = crowned maiden ) was used outside Lórien by the people who did not know the ancient days and Galadriel 's history , confusing galad with the Sindarin word galadh and the name of the Galadhrim , the people of Lórien . As the ruler of Lothlórien , she was referred to by a variety of titles , including `` Lady of Lórien '' , `` Lady of the Wood '' , and ( by Gimli ) `` Queen Galadriel '' -- although , according to Tolkien 's account in Unfinished Tales , neither she nor Celeborn took royal titles themselves , as they considered they were but guardians of Lórien . She was also referred to as `` Lady of Light '' ( the translation of Galadriel ) or as the `` White Lady '' , as her fair skin and white cloaks made her seem to shine . Characteristics ( edit ) It was said ( by the Dúnedain ) that her height was two rangar ( Quenya : ' strides ' ) , or `` man - high '' -- about 6 ft. 4 in. , or 193 cm . However , Galadriel 's most striking feature is her beautiful long silver - golden hair . The Elves of Tirion said it captured the radiance of the Two Trees Laurelin and Telperion themselves . Even among the Eldar she was accounted beautiful , and her hair is held a marvel unmatched . It is golden like the hair of her father and of her foremother Indis , but richer and more radiant , for its gold is touched by some memory of the starlike silver of her mother ; and the Eldar say that the light of the Two Trees , Laurelin and Telperion , has been snared in her tresses . It was greatly admired by Fëanor and may have inspired him to create the Silmarilli . Many thought that this saying first gave to Fëanor the thought of imprisoning and blending the light of the Trees that later took shape in his hands as the Silmarils . For Fëanor beheld the hair of Galadriel with wonder and delight . Nevertheless , she never repaid Fëanor 's admiration with the generosity she showed to Gimli the Dwarf in The Fellowship of the Ring . Fëanor `` had begged her thrice for a tress and thrice she refused to give him even one hair . It is said that these two kinsfolk , being considered the greatest of the Eldar of Valinor , remain unfriends forever . '' Her character was similarly a blend of characteristics of the kindreds of the Eldar from whom she was descended . She had the pride and ambition of the Noldor , but in her they were tempered by the gentleness and insight of the Vanyar . She shared the latter virtues of character with her father Finarfin and her brother Finrod . She was proud , strong , and self - willed , as were all the descendants of Finwë save Finarfin ; and like her brother Finrod , of all her kin the nearest to her heart , she had dreams of far lands and dominions that might be her own to order as she would without tutelage . Yet deeper still there dwelt in her the noble and generous spirit of the Vanyar , and a reverence for the Valar that she could not forget . From her earliest years she had a marvellous gift of insight into the minds of others , but judged them with mercy and understanding , and she withheld her goodwill from none save only Fëanor . In him she perceived a darkness that she hated and feared , though she did not perceive that the shadow of the same evil had fallen upon the minds of all the Noldor , and upon her own . Her sympathy for Gimli the Dwarf in Lothlórien , when she rebuked her husband Celeborn for being tempted to regret his decision to admit the Dwarf to that land , won Gimli 's heart forever . She was said to be a match for both the loremasters and athletes of the Eldar . She was the mightiest of the women of the Eldar .

Adaptations ( edit ) Galadriel in Ralph Bakshi 's animated version of The Lord of the Rings . Galadriel was voiced by Annette Crosbie in Ralph Bakshi 's 1978 animated film of The Lord of the Rings , and by Marian Diamond in BBC Radio 's 1981 serialisation . While she did not appear in the 1980 animated The Return of the King , she was mentioned by name when Frodo refers to Galadriel 's phial . Cate Blanchett as Galadriel in Peter Jackson 's The Lord of the Rings : The Fellowship of the Ring . In Peter Jackson 's Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit prequel trilogy , Galadriel is played by Cate Blanchett . In the movies , other than possessing the Ring Nenya , Galadriel displays an ability to communicate with others telepathically and to assume a radiant and terrifying appearance . In The Lord of the Rings : The Fellowship of the Ring , as she was present at time , Galadriel narrates the events of prologue that explains the creation of the Rings of Power and the War of the Last Alliance . When the Fellowship enters the woods of Lórien , contacting Frodo via telepathy , Galadriel welcomes them to Lothlórien while using her power to tell Boromir that there is still hope despite Gondor 's danger . When offered the Ring by Frodo after revealing it would eventually destroy his friends should he remain with them , Galadriel briefly assumed her horrific form before turning down the offer . Galadriel later gives Eärendil 's Light to Frodo for his use . The gifts she gives to the rest of the Fellowship differ from the book 's account , as is her absence from the coronation of King Elessar at the end of Return of the King . At the end of The Lord of the Rings trilogy , Galadriel departs with Celeborn accompanying her , Elrond , Gandalf , Frodo , and Bilbo . In The Hobbit : An Unexpected Journey , taking place sixty years before the events of the Lord of the Rings trilogy , Galadriel attends the White Council meeting at Rivendell with Elrond , Gandalf , and Saruman , to discuss the rising threat of the Necromancer of Dol Guldur . While Galadriel identifies the Morgul - blade that Radagast retrieved from Dol Guldur to belong to the Witch - King of Angmar , she also communicates telepathically with Gandalf during the meeting . After the meeting ends , Galadriel agrees with Gandalf 's opinion that Smaug and the Necromancer must be dealt with , sympathetic to the wizard 's reason for the presence of Bilbo Baggins . She offers her assistance , promising that if he should ever need her help , she will come . In the second film , The Desolation of Smaug , Galadriel telepathically convinces Gandalf leave the Company to investigate the tomb of the Nazgûl . Gandalf later sends Radagast to Lothlórien to report their findings of Sauron being the Necromancer before he enters Dol Guldur on his own . In the final film , The Battle of the Five Armies , Galadriel rescues Gandalf from captivity in Dol Guldur as he is about to be executed . She is weakened by the sudden appearance of the Nazgûl , but her hidden companions , Elrond and Saruman , engage them in combat . She seemingly uses the last of her strength to secure Gandalf 's escape with Radagast . After the Nazgûl are defeated , Sauron himself appears , reviving his servants . Galadriel assumes a terrifying image ( similar to her changed appearance when offered the One Ring by Frodo Baggins in Lothlórien ) to confront him . Using Eärendil 's Light , she banishes Sauron and the Nazgûl to Mordor , though at a great expenditure of power . Afterward , she is taken back to Lothlórien by Elrond to recover . On stage , Galadriel was portrayed by Rebecca Jackson Mendoza in the three - hour - long Toronto stage musical production of The Lord of the Rings , which opened in 2006 and ran several months . The musical was revised and moved to London 's Theatre Royal , Drury Lane , opening on 21 June 2007 . Matthew Warchus directed Laura Michelle Kelly in the role . Abbie Osmon took over from Kelly on 4 February 2008 , and played the role through the show 's closing on 19 July 2008 . Galadriel appears in the video game The Lord of the Rings : The Battle for Middle - earth II and others . Legacy in music ( edit ) Tolkien wrote a poem `` Namárië '' that Galadriel sings in farewell to the departing Fellowship , and to Frodo in particular . The song is in Quenya , and `` spoke of things little - known in Middle - earth , '' but Frodo is said to have remembered the words and translated them long afterward . It is a lament in which Galadriel describes her separation from the Blessed Realm and the Valar , her longing to return there , and at the end a wish or hope that even though she herself is forbidden ( by the Ban ) to return , that Frodo might somehow come in the end to Valinor ( the song specifically refers to Valimar , the city of the Valar in Valinor ) . The poem was set to music by Donald Swann with the help of Tolkien . The sheet music and an audio recording are part of the book The Road Goes Ever On . In a recording Tolkien sings it in a Gregorian manner . On their album Once Again , the band Barclay James Harvest featured a song called `` Galadriel '' . It gained notability because guitarist John Lees played John Lennon 's Epiphone Casino guitar on this track , an event later recounted in a song on the band 's 1990 album Welcome To The Show titled `` John Lennon 's Guitar '' . Songwriter Terry Britten also wrote a song `` Galadriel '' which was recorded by Cliff Richard . Sally Oldfield 's suite `` Songs of the Quendi '' on her album Water Bearer ( 1978 ) describes the return of Galadriel to the Blessed Realm after seven millennia of exile . Sydney - based progressive rock band Galadriel achieved minor success in the early 1970s , and continue to have a cult following around the world due to a revived interest in 1960s and 1970s Australian rock . Rare copies of their first album are much sought - after , particularly in Germany where they were signed to the local Polydor label in 1971 . Singer John ' Spider ' Sholten later joined the touring company of singer - songwriter Ross Ryan as stage manager and general comic relief for Ross during his performances . In 2003 , Fran Walsh , Howard Shore , and Annie Lennox co-wrote the Oscar - winning song `` Into the West '' for the closing credits of The Lord of the Rings : The Return of the King . Originally sung by Annie Lennox , the song was conceived as Galadriel 's bittersweet lament for those who have sailed across the Sundering Seas . The lyrics include phrases from the final chapter of the original novel . The song has since been covered by Yulia Townsend and Will Martin .

Insurgent groups known as the mujahideen fought against the Soviet Army and the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan government , mostly in the country 's rural countryside . The mujahideen groups were backed by the United States and Pakistan , making it a Cold War proxy war . Between 562,000 and 2,000,000 civilians were killed and millions of Afghans fled the country as refugees , mostly to Pakistan and Iran . Prior to the arrival of Soviet troops , the communist People 's Democratic Party of Afghanistan took power after a 1978 coup , installing Nur Mohammad Taraki as president . The party initiated a series of radical modernization reforms throughout the country that were deeply unpopular , particularly among the more traditional rural population and the established traditional power structures . The government vigorously suppressed any opposition and arrested thousands , executing as many as 27,000 political prisoners . Anti-government armed groups were formed , and by April 1979 large parts of the country were in open rebellion . The government itself was highly unstable with in - party rivalry , and in September 1979 Taraki was killed under orders of his rival Hafizullah Amin , the Minister of Foreign Affairs and now the president . Deteriorating relations and worsening rebellions led the Soviet government , under leader Leonid Brezhnev , to deploy the 40th Army on December 24 , 1979 . Arriving in the capital Kabul , they staged a coup , killing president Amin and installing Soviet loyalist Babrak Karmal from a rival faction . In January 1980 , foreign ministers from 34 nations of the Islamic Conference adopted a resolution demanding `` the immediate , urgent and unconditional withdrawal of Soviet troops '' from Afghanistan , while the UN General Assembly passed a resolution protesting the Soviet intervention by a vote of 104 -- 18 . Afghan insurgents began to receive massive amounts of aid and military training in neighboring Pakistan and China , paid for primarily by the United States and Arab monarchies in the Persian Gulf . As documented by the National Security Archive , `` the Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ) played a significant role in asserting U.S. influence in Afghanistan by funding military operations designed to frustrate the Soviet invasion of that country . CIA covert action worked through Pakistani intelligence services to reach Afghani rebel groups . '' Soviet troops occupied the cities and main arteries of communication , while the mujahideen waged guerrilla war in small groups operating in the almost 80 percent of the country that was outside government and Soviet control , almost exclusively being the rural countryside . The Soviets used their air power to deal harshly with both rebels and civilians , levelling villages to deny safe haven to the mujahideen , destroying vital irrigation ditches , and laying millions of land mines . By the mid-1980s , the Soviet contingent was increased to 108,800 and fighting increased throughout the country , but the military and diplomatic cost of the war to the USSR was high . By mid-1987 the Soviet Union , now under reformist leader Mikhail Gorbachev , announced it would start withdrawing its forces . The final troop withdrawal started on May 15 , 1988 , and ended on February 15 , 1989 , leaving the government forces alone in its battle against the insurgents , which continued until 1992 . Due to its length , it has sometimes been referred to as the `` Soviet Union 's Vietnam War '' or the `` Bear Trap '' by the Western media , and is thought to be a contributing factor to the fall of the Soviet Union .

The border was agreed by the joint Anglo - Russian Afghan Boundary Commission of 1885 -- 87 . The Russian interest in the region continued on through the Soviet era , with billions in economic and military aid sent to Afghanistan between 1955 and 1978 . After the Saur Revolution in 1978 , the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan was formed on April 27 , 1978 . The government was one with a pro-poor , pro-farmer socialist agenda . It had close relations with the Soviet Union . On December 5 , 1978 , a treaty of friendship was signed between the Soviet Union and Afghanistan . In February 1979 , the United States Ambassador to Afghanistan , Adolph Dubs , was kidnapped by Setami Milli militants and was later killed during an assault carried out by the Afghan police , assisted by Soviet advisers . Dubs ' death led to a major deterioration in Afghanistan -- United States relations . In Southwestern Asia , drastic changes were taking place concurrent with the upheavals in Afghanistan . In February 1979 , the Iranian Revolution ousted the American - backed Shah from Iran , losing the United States as one of its most powerful allies . The United States then deployed twenty ships in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea including two aircraft carriers , and there was a constant stream of threats of warfare between the U.S. and Iran . March 1979 marked the signing of the U.S. - backed peace agreement between Israel and Egypt . The Soviet leadership saw the agreement as giving a major advantage to the United States . A Soviet newspaper stated that Egypt and Israel were now `` gendarmes of the Pentagon '' . The Soviets viewed the treaty not only as a peace agreement between their erstwhile allies in Egypt and the US - supported Israelis but also as a military pact . In addition , the US sold more than 5,000 missiles to Saudi Arabia and also supplied the Royalist rebels in the North Yemen Civil War against the Nasserist government . Also , the Soviet Union 's previously strong relations with Iraq had recently soured . In June 1978 , Iraq began entering into friendlier relations with the Western world and buying French and Italian - made weapons , though the vast majority still came from the Soviet Union , its Warsaw Pact allies , and China . Saur Revolution Main article : Saur Revolution King Mohammed Zahir Shah ascended to the throne and reigned from 1933 to 1973 . Zahir 's cousin , Mohammad Daoud Khan , served as Prime Minister from 1954 to 1963 . The Marxist People 's Democratic Party of Afghanistan 's ( PDPA 's ) strength grew considerably in these years . In 1967 , the PDPA split into two rival factions , the Khalq ( Masses ) faction headed by Nur Muhammad Taraki and Hafizullah Amin and the Parcham ( Flag ) faction led by Babrak Karmal . Former Prime Minister Daoud seized power in a military coup on July 17 , 1973 after allegations of corruption and poor economic conditions against the king 's government . Daoud put an end to the monarchy , and his time in power was widely popular among the general populace but unpopular among PDPA supporters . Intense opposition from factions of the PDPA was sparked by the repression imposed on them by Daoud 's regime and the death of a leading PDPA member , Mir Akbar Khyber . The mysterious circumstances of Khyber 's death sparked massive anti-Daoud demonstrations in Kabul , which resulted in the arrest of several prominent PDPA leaders . On April 27 , 1978 , the Afghan army , which had been sympathetic to the PDPA cause , overthrew and executed Daoud along with members of his family . Nur Muhammad Taraki , Secretary General of the PDPA , became President of the Revolutionary Council and Prime Minister of the newly established Democratic Republic of Afghanistan . Factions Inside the PDPA After the revolution , Taraki assumed the Presidency , Prime Ministership and General Secretaryship of the PDPA . The government was divided along factional lines , with President Taraki and Deputy Prime Minister Hafizullah Amin of the Khalq faction against Parcham leaders such as Babrak Karmal and Mohammad Najibullah . Within the PDPA , conflicts resulted in exiles , purges and executions of Parcham members . During its first 18 months of rule , the PDPA applied a Soviet - style program of modernizing reforms , many of which were viewed by conservatives as opposing Islam . Decrees setting forth changes in marriage customs and land reform were not received well by a population deeply immersed in tradition and Islam , particularly by the powerful landowners who were harmed economically by the abolition of usury ( although usury is prohibited in Islam ) and the cancellation of farmers ' debts . The new government also enhanced women 's rights , sought a rapid eradication of illiteracy and promoted Afghanistan 's ethnic minorities , although these programs appear to have had an effect only in the urban areas . By mid-1978 , a rebellion started , with rebels attacking the local military garrison in the Nuristan region of eastern Afghanistan and soon civil war spread throughout the country . In September 1979 , Deputy Prime Minister Hafizullah Amin seized power , arresting and killing President Taraki . Over two months of instability overwhelmed Amin 's regime as he moved against his opponents in the PDPA and the growing rebellion .

Its involvement ranging from civil - military infrastructure to Afghan society . Since 1947 , Afghanistan had been under the influence of the Soviet government and received large amounts of aid , economic assistance , military equipment training and military hardware from the Soviet Union . Economic assistance and aid had been provided to Afghanistan as early as 1919 , shortly after the Russian Revolution and when the regime was facing the Russian Civil War . Provisions were given in the form of small arms , ammunition , a few aircraft , and ( according to debated Soviet sources ) a million gold rubles to support the resistance during the Third Anglo - Afghan War . In 1942 , the USSR again moved to strengthen the Afghan Armed Forces , by providing small arms and aircraft , and establishing training centers in Tashkent ( Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic ) . Soviet - Afghan military cooperation began on a regular basis in 1956 , and further agreements were made in the 1970s , which saw the USSR send advisers and specialists . In 1978 , after witnessing India 's nuclear test , Smiling Buddha , President Daud Khan initiated a military buildup to counter Pakistan 's armed forces and Iranian military influence in Afghan politics . A final pre-war treaty , signed in December 1978 , allowed the PDPA to call upon the Soviet Union for military support . `` We believe it would be a fatal mistake to commit ground troops . ( ... ) If our troops went in , the situation in your country would not improve . On the contrary , it would get worse . Our troops would have to struggle not only with an external aggressor , but with a significant part of your own people . And the people would never forgive such things '' '' -- Alexei Kosygin , the Chairman of the USSR Council of Ministers , in response to Taraki 's request for Soviet presence in Afghanistan Following the Herat uprising , President Taraki contacted Alexei Kosygin , chairman of the USSR Council of Ministers , and asked for `` practical and technical assistance with men and armament '' . Kosygin was unfavorable to the proposal on the basis of the negative political repercussions such an action would have for his country , and he rejected all further attempts by Taraki to solicit Soviet military aid in Afghanistan . Following Kosygin 's rejection , Taraki requested aid from Leonid Brezhnev , the general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and Soviet head of state , who warned Taraki that full Soviet intervention `` would only play into the hands of our enemies -- both yours and ours '' . Brezhnev also advised Taraki to ease up on the drastic social reforms and to seek broader support for his regime . In 1979 , Taraki attended a conference of the Non-Aligned Movement in Havana , Cuba . On his way back , he stopped in Moscow on March 20 and met with Brezhnev , Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and other Soviet officials . It was rumoured that Karmal was present at the meeting in an attempt to reconcile Taraki 's Khalq faction and the Parcham against Amin and his followers . At the meeting , Taraki was successful in negotiating some Soviet support , including the redeployment of two Soviet armed divisions at the Soviet - Afghan border , the sending of 500 military and civilian advisers and specialists and the immediate delivery of Soviet armed equipment sold at 25 percent below the original price ; however , the Soviets were not pleased about the developments in Afghanistan and Brezhnev impressed upon Taraki the need for party unity . Despite reaching this agreement with Taraki , the Soviets continued to be reluctant to intervene further in Afghanistan and repeatedly refused Soviet military intervention within Afghan borders during Taraki 's rule as well as later during Amin 's short rule . Initiation of the insurgency Pakistani aid to insurgents Main articles : Soviet Union -- United States relations and Pakistan -- Soviet Union relations See also : Kidnapping and assassination of U.S. Ambassador Adolph Dubs Soviet infantry at the time of deployment . Afghanistan cemented regional problems with Pakistan , after Daoud pressed his hard - line Pashtunistan policies to Pakistan . Pakistan retaliated , and Prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto authorized a covert operation under MI 's Major - General Naseerullah Babar . In 1974 , Bhutto authorized another secret operation in Kabul where the ISI and the AI extradited Burhanuddin Rabbani and Gulbadin Hekmatyar to Peshawar , amid fear that Rabbani and Hekmatyar might be assassinated by Daoud . According to Baber , Bhutto 's operation was an excellent idea and it had hard - hitting impact on Daoud and his government which forced Daoud to increase his desire to make peace with Bhutto . Another part of this operation was to train hard - line Jamiat - e Islami militants against the Daoud 's secular government . However , this operation went into cold - storage after Bhutto was removed from power . In June 1975 , militants from the Jamiat Islami party attempted to overthrow the government . They started their rebellion in the Panjshir valley ( a part of the greater Parwan province ) , in the present day Panjshir province , some 100 kilometers north of Kabul , and in a number of other provinces of the country . However , government forces easily defeated the insurgency and a sizable portion of the insurgents sought refuge in Pakistan where they enjoyed the support of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto 's government , which had been alarmed by Daoud 's revival of the Pashtunistan issue . Soviet forces after capturing some Mujahideen 40th Army headquarters , Tajbeg Palace , 1986 Soviet soldiers conducting training In 1978 , the Taraki government initiated a series of reforms , including a radical modernization of the traditional Islamic civil and especially marriage law , aimed at `` uprooting feudalism '' in Afghan society . The government brooked no opposition to the reforms and responded with violence to unrest . Between April 1978 and the Soviet Intervention of December 1979 , thousands of prisoners , perhaps as many as 27,000 , were executed at the notorious Pul - e-Charkhi prison , including many village mullahs and headmen . Other members of the traditional elite , the religious establishment and intelligentsia fled the country . Large parts of the country went into open rebellion . The Parcham Government claimed that 11,000 were executed during the Amin / Taraki period in response to the revolts . The revolt began in October among the Nuristani tribes of the Kunar Valley in the northeastern part of the country near the border with Pakistan , and rapidly spread among the other ethnic groups . By the spring of 1979 , 24 of the 28 provinces had suffered outbreaks of violence . The rebellion began to take hold in the cities : in March 1979 in Herat , rebels led by Ismail Khan revolted . Between 3,000 and 5,000 people were killed and wounded during the Herat revolt . Some 100 Soviet citizens and their families were killed . Killing of the U.S. ambassador In February 1979 , the contentious law and order situation led to a serious diplomatic incident involving United States , Soviet Union and Afghanistan when U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Adolph `` Spike '' Dubs was kidnapped by a mysterious group of militants . They are sometimes alleged to have been part of the radical communist faction , Settam - e-Melli ( lit . `` National Oppression '' ) , but are also sometimes described as Islamists . The National Oppression reportedly demanded the release of their communist leader Badruddin Bahes , whom the Afghan government denied holding . The government refused categorically to negotiate with the militants , in spite of the U.S. embassy 's demands . The U.S. increased pressure on the Afghan government and the Soviet Union , forcefully demanding peaceful negotiations for the release of their ambassador . Dubs was held in Room 117 of the Kabul Hotel , where the United States sent its embassy and diplomatic staff to negotiate with the communist faction . The Afghan security forces , accompanied by the Russian advisers , swarmed the hallway and surrounding rooftops of the hotel . When negotiations stalled , there was an intense exchange of fire after Russian advisers ordered an assault . Documents released from the Soviet KGB bureau archives by Vasily Mitrokhin in the early 1990s suggest that the Afghan government authorized the assault and that the KGB adviser on scene , Sergei Batrukihn , may have recommended the assault , as well as the execution of a kidnapper before U.S. experts could interrogate him . All attempts at negotiation failed , and U.S. Ambassador Adolph Dubs was caught in the crossfire , leading to his death . Afterwards the United States formally expressed to Soviet Union its disapproval of the assault by the security forces , putting more stress on U.S. - Soviet relations . U.S. aid to insurgents Main article : Operation Cyclone In the mid-1970s , Pakistani intelligence officials began privately lobbying the U.S. and its allies to send material assistance to the Islamist insurgents . Pakistani President Muhammad Zia - ul - Haq 's ties with the U.S. had been strained during Jimmy Carter 's presidency due to Pakistan 's nuclear program and the execution of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in April 1979 , but Carter told National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski and Secretary of State Cyrus Vance as early as January 1979 that it was vital to `` repair our relationships with Pakistan '' in light of the unrest in Iran . According to former Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ) official Robert Gates , `` the Carter administration turned to CIA ... to counter Soviet and Cuban aggression in the Third World , particularly beginning in mid-1979 . '' In March 1979 , `` CIA sent several covert action options relating to Afghanistan to the SCC ( Special Coordination Committee ) '' of the United States National Security Council . At a March 30 meeting , U.S. Department of Defense representative Walter B. Slocombe `` asked if there was value in keeping the Afghan insurgency going , ' sucking the Soviets into a Vietnamese quagmire ? ' '' When asked to clarify this remark , Slocombe explained : `` Well , the whole idea was that if the Soviets decided to strike at this tar baby ( Afghanistan ) we had every interest in making sure that they got stuck . '' Yet an April 5 memo from National Intelligence Officer Arnold Horelick warned : `` Covert action would raise the costs to the Soviets and inflame Moslem opinion against them in many countries . The risk was that a substantial U.S. covert aid program could raise the stakes and induce the Soviets to intervene more directly and vigorously than otherwise intended . '' In May 1979 , U.S. officials secretly began meeting with rebel leaders through Pakistani government contacts . A former Pakistani military official claimed that he personally introduced a CIA official to Gulbuddin Hekmatyar that month ( Freedom of Information Act requests for records describing these meetings have been denied ) . After additional meetings on April 6 and July 3 , Carter signed a `` presidential ' finding ' '' that `` authorized the CIA to spend just over $500,000 '' on `` non-lethal '' aid to the mujahideen , which `` seemed at the time a small beginning . '' Brzezinski later claimed that `` We did n't push the Russians to intervene , but we knowingly increased the probability that they would . '' According to Brzezinski , he became convinced by mid-1979 that the Soviets were going to invade Afghanistan regardless of U.S. policy due to the Carter administration 's failure to respond aggressively to Soviet activity in Africa , but -- despite the risk of unintended consequences -- support for the mujahideen could be an effective way to prevent Soviet aggression beyond Afghanistan ( particularly in Brzezinski 's native Poland ) . The full significance of the U.S. sending aid to the mujahideen prior to the invasion is debated among scholars . Some assert that it directly , and even deliberately , provoked the Soviets to send in troops . Bruce Riedel , however , believes that the U.S. aid was intended primarily to improve U.S. relations with Pakistan , while Steve Coll asserts : `` Contemporary memos -- particularly those written in the first days after the Soviet invasion -- make clear that while Brzezinski was determined to confront the Soviets in Afghanistan through covert action , he was also very worried the Soviets would prevail ... Given this evidence and the enormous political and security costs that the invasion imposed on the Carter administration , any claim that Brzezinski lured the Soviets into Afghanistan warrants deep skepticism . '' Carter himself has stated that encouraging a Soviet invasion was `` not my intention . '' Gates recounted : `` No one in the Carter Administration wanted the Soviets to invade Afghanistan and no one , as I can recall at least , ever advocated attempting to induce them to invade ... Only after the Soviet invasion did some advocate making the Soviets ' bleed ' in their own Vietnam . '' Conversely , Andrew Bacevich writes that `` the prospect of inducing conflict on the scale of Vietnam exerted great appeal '' in the White House even prior to the Soviet invasion , as `` fomenting trouble in Afghanistan would dissuade the Soviets from meddling in the Persian Gulf . '' Chalmers Johnson considered the Soviet invasion `` deliberately provoked '' by the U.S. Although Gates described Director of Central Intelligence ( DCI ) Stansfield Turner and the CIA 's Directorate of Operations ( DO ) as contemplating `` several enhancement options '' -- up to and including the direct provision of arms from the U.S. to the mujahideen through the ISI -- as early as late August 1979 , and an unnamed Brzezinski aide acknowledged in conversation with Selig S. Harrison that the U.S. 's nominally `` non-lethal '' assistance to the mujahideen included facilitating arms shipments by third - parties , Coll , Harrison , Riedel , and the head of the DO 's Near East -- South Asia Division at the time -- Charles Cogan -- all state that no U.S. - supplied arms intended for the mujahideen reached Pakistan until January 1980 , after Carter amended his presidential finding to include lethal provisions in late December 1979 . Soviet operations 1979 -- 85 Deployment The headquarters of the Soviet 40th Army in Kabul , 1987 . Before the Soviet intervention , the building was Tajbeg Palace , where Hafizullah Amin was killed . The Afghan government , having secured a treaty in December 1978 that allowed them to call on Soviet forces , repeatedly requested the introduction of troops in Afghanistan in the spring and summer of 1979 . They requested Soviet troops to provide security and to assist in the fight against the mujahideen rebels . On April 14 , 1979 , the Afghan government requested that the USSR send 15 to 20 helicopters with their crews to Afghanistan , and on June 16 , the Soviet government responded and sent a detachment of tanks , BMPs , and crews to guard the government in Kabul and to secure the Bagram and Shindand airfields . In response to this request , an airborne battalion , commanded by Lieutenant Colonel A. Lomakin , arrived at the Bagram Air Base on July 7 . They arrived without their combat gear , disguised as technical specialists . They were the personal bodyguards for President Taraki . The paratroopers were directly subordinate to the senior Soviet military advisor and did not interfere in Afghan politics . Several leading politicians at the time such as Alexei Kosygin and Andrei Gromyko were against intervention . After a month , the Afghan requests were no longer for individual crews and subunits , but for regiments and larger units . In July , the Afghan government requested that two motorized rifle divisions be sent to Afghanistan . The following day , they requested an airborne division in addition to the earlier requests . They repeated these requests and variants to these requests over the following months right up to December 1979 . However , the Soviet government was in no hurry to grant them . `` `` We should tell Taraki and Amin to change their tactics . They still continue to execute those people who disagree with them . They are killing nearly all of the Parcham leaders , not only the highest rank , but of the middle rank , too . '' '' -- Kosygin speaking at a Politburo session . Soviet ground forces in action while conducting an offensive operation against the Islamist resistance , the Mujahideen . Based on information from the KGB , Soviet leaders felt that Prime Minister Hafizullah Amin 's actions had destabilized the situation in Afghanistan . Following his initial coup against and killing of President Taraki , the KGB station in Kabul warned Moscow that Amin 's leadership would lead to `` harsh repressions , and as a result , the activation and consolidation of the opposition . '' The Soviets established a special commission on Afghanistan , comprising KGB chairman Yuri Andropov , Boris Ponomarev from the Central Committee and Dmitriy Ustinov , the Minister of Defence . In late April 1978 , the committee reported that Amin was purging his opponents , including Soviet loyalists , that his loyalty to Moscow was in question and that he was seeking diplomatic links with Pakistan and possibly the People 's Republic of China ( which at the time had poor relations with the Soviet Union ) . Of specific concern were Amin 's secret meetings with the U.S. chargé d'affaires , J. Bruce Amstutz , which , while never amounting to any agreement between Amin and the United States , sowed suspicion in the Kremlin . Information obtained by the KGB from its agents in Kabul provided the last arguments to eliminate Amin . Supposedly , two of Amin 's guards killed the former president Nur Muhammad Taraki with a pillow , and Amin , himself , was suspected to be a CIA agent . The latter , however , is still disputed with Amin repeatedly demonstrating friendliness toward the various delegates of the Soviet Union who would arrive in Afghanistan . Soviet General Vasily Zaplatin , a political advisor of Premier Brezhnev at the time , claimed that four of President Taraki 's ministers were responsible for the destabilization . However , Zaplatin failed to emphasize this in discussions and was not heard . By the late 1970s , rapprochement between the USSR and the US had been well - established , which had led to growing tendencies toward détente and as such , attempts toward disarmament . Of note was the SALT I treaty , which was created to encourage cooperation in matters of nuclear weaponry and technology between the two nations . A second round of talks between Soviet premier Brezhnev and President Carter yielded the SALT II treaty in June 1979 . ( the United States Senate later failed to ratify the treaty due to the Soviet - Afghan conflict ) . Conservatives believe that this process was reflective of growing Soviet political influence in the world and that Soviet intervention in Afghanistan in December 1979 was an attempt to preserve , stabilize and militarily intervene on behalf of the communist regime there and thus , their own political standing . During meetings between President Taraki and Soviet leaders in March 1979 , the Soviets promised political support and to send military equipment and technical specialists , but upon repeated requests by Taraki for direct Soviet intervention , the leadership adamantly opposed him ; reasons included that they would be met with `` bitter resentment '' from the Afghan people , that intervening in another country 's civil war would hand a propaganda victory to their opponents , and Afghanistan 's overall inconsequential weight in international affairs , in essence realizing they had little to gain by taking over a country with a poor economy , unstable government , and population hostile to outsiders . However , as the situation continued to deteriorate from May -- December 1979 , Moscow changed its mind on dispatching Soviet troops . The reasons for this complete turnabout are not entirely clear , and several speculative arguments include the grave internal situation and inability for the Afghan government , headed by Amin from 14 September 1979 after a successful coup , to quell the rebellion , the effects of the Iranian Revolution that brought an Islamic theocracy into power , leading to fears that religious fanaticism would spread through Afghanistan and into Soviet Muslim Central Asian republics , and the deteriorating ties with the United States with the failure of Congress to ratify the SALT II treaty and the impression that détente was `` already effectively dead . '' Soviet intervention and coup The Soviet intervention On October 31 , 1979 Soviet informants to the Afghan Armed Forces who were under orders from the inner circle of advisors under Soviet premier Brezhnev , relayed information for them to undergo maintenance cycles for their tanks and other crucial equipment . Meanwhile , telecommunications links to areas outside of Kabul were severed , isolating the capital . With a deteriorating security situation , large numbers of Soviet Airborne Forces joined stationed ground troops and began to land in Kabul on December 25 . Simultaneously , Amin moved the offices of the president to the Tajbeg Palace , believing this location to be more secure from possible threats . According to Colonel General Tukharinov and Merimsky , Amin was fully informed of the military movements , having requested Soviet military assistance to northern Afghanistan on December 17 . His brother and General Dmitry Chiangov met with the commander of the 40th Army before Soviet troops entered the country , to work out initial routes and locations for Soviet troops . On December 27 , 1979 , 700 Soviet troops dressed in Afghan uniforms , including KGB and GRU special forces officers from the Alpha Group and Zenith Group , occupied major governmental , military and media buildings in Kabul , including their primary target -- the Tajbeg Presidential Palace . Soviet paratroopers aboard a BMD - 1 in Kabul That operation began at 19 : 00 hr. , when the KGB - led Soviet Zenith Group destroyed Kabul 's communications hub , paralyzing Afghan military command . At 19 : 15 , the assault on Tajbeg Palace began ; as planned , president Hafizullah Amin was killed . Simultaneously , other objectives were occupied ( e.g. , the Ministry of Interior at 19 : 15 ) . The operation was fully complete by the morning of December 28 , 1979 . The Soviet military command at Termez , Uzbek SSR , announced on Radio Kabul that Afghanistan had been liberated from Amin 's rule . According to the Soviet Politburo they were complying with the 1978 Treaty of Friendship , Cooperation and Good Neighborliness and Amin had been `` executed by a tribunal for his crimes '' by the Afghan Revolutionary Central Committee . That committee then elected as head of government former Deputy Prime Minister Babrak Karmal , who had been demoted to the relatively insignificant post of ambassador to Czechoslovakia following the Khalq takeover , and announced that it had requested Soviet military assistance . Soviet ground forces , under the command of Marshal Sergei Sokolov , entered Afghanistan from the north on December 27 . In the morning , the 103rd Guards ' Vitebsk ' Airborne Division landed at the airport at Bagram and the deployment of Soviet troops in Afghanistan was underway . The force that entered Afghanistan , in addition to the 103rd Guards Airborne Division , was under command of the 40th Army and consisted of the 108th and 5th Guards Motor Rifle Divisions , the 860th Separate Motor Rifle Regiment , the 56th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade , the 36th Mixed Air Corps . Later on the 201st and 58th Motor Rifle Divisions also entered the country , along with other smaller units . In all , the initial Soviet force was around 1,800 tanks , 80,000 soldiers and 2,000 AFVs . In the second week alone , Soviet aircraft had made a total of 4,000 flights into Kabul . With the arrival of the two later divisions , the total Soviet force rose to over 100,000 personnel . International positions on Soviet intervention Foreign ministers from 34 Islamic nations adopted a resolution which condemned the Soviet intervention and demanded `` the immediate , urgent and unconditional withdrawal of Soviet troops '' from the Muslim nation of Afghanistan . The UN General Assembly passed a resolution protesting the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan by a vote of 104 -- 18 . According to political scientist Gilles Kepel , the Soviet intervention or `` invasion '' was `` viewed with horror '' in the West , considered to be a `` fresh twist '' on the geo - political `` Great Game '' of the 19th Century in which Britain feared that Russia sought access to the Indian Ocean and posed `` a threat to Western security '' , explicitly violating `` the world balance of power agreed upon at Yalta '' in 1945 . Weapons supplies were made available through numerous countries ; the United States purchased all of Israel 's captured Soviet weapons clandestinely , and then funnelled the weapons to the Mujahideen , while Egypt upgraded their own army 's weapons , and sent the older weapons to the militants , Turkey sold their World War II stockpiles to the warlords , and the British and Swiss provided Blowpipe missiles and Oerlikon anti-aircraft guns respectively , after they were found to be poor models for their own forces . China provided the most relevant weapons , likely due to their own experience with guerrilla warfare , and kept meticulous record of all the shipments . December 1979 -- February 1980 : Occupation The first phase began with the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan and their first battles with various opposition groups . Soviet troops entered Afghanistan along two ground routes and one air corridor , quickly taking control of the major urban centers , military bases and strategic installations . However , the presence of Soviet troops did not have the desired effect of pacifying the country . On the contrary , it exacerbated a nationalistic feeling , causing the rebellion to spread further . Babrak Karmal , Afghanistan 's new president , charged the Soviets with causing an increase in the unrest , and demanded that the 40th Army step in and quell the rebellion , as his own army had proved untrustworthy . Thus , Soviet troops found themselves drawn into fighting against urban uprisings , tribal armies ( called lashkar ) , and sometimes against mutinying Afghan Army units . These forces mostly fought in the open , and Soviet airpower and artillery made short work of them . March 1980 -- April 1985 : Soviet offensives Main article : Panjshir offensives A mujahideen fighter in Kunar uses a communications receiver . The war now developed into a new pattern : the Soviets occupied the cities and main axis of communication , while the mujahideen , ( which the Soviet Army soldiers called ' Dushman , ' meaning ' enemy ' ) divided into small groups , waged a guerrilla war . Almost 80 percent of the country escaped government control . Soviet troops were deployed in strategic areas in the northeast , especially along the road from Termez to Kabul . In the west , a strong Soviet presence was maintained to counter Iranian influence . Incidentally , special Soviet units would have also performed secret attacks on Iranian territory to destroy suspected mujahideen bases , and their helicopters then got engaged in shootings with Iranian jets . Conversely , some regions such as Nuristan , in the northeast , and Hazarajat , in the central mountains of Afghanistan , were virtually untouched by the fighting , and lived in almost complete independence . Mujahideen with two captured artillery field guns in Jaji , 1984 . Periodically the Soviet Army undertook multi-divisional offensives into mujahideen - controlled areas . Between 1980 and 1985 , nine offensives were launched into the strategically important Panjshir Valley , but government control of the area did not improve . Heavy fighting also occurred in the provinces neighbouring Pakistan , where cities and government outposts were constantly under siege by the mujahideen . Massive Soviet operations would regularly break these sieges , but the mujahideen would return as soon as the Soviets left . In the west and south , fighting was more sporadic , except in the cities of Herat and Kandahar , that were always partly controlled by the resistance . The Soviets did not , at first , foresee taking on such an active role in fighting the rebels and attempted to play down their role there as giving light assistance to the Afghan army . However , the arrival of the Soviets had the opposite effect as it incensed instead of pacified the people , causing the mujahideen to gain in strength and numbers . Originally the Soviets thought that their forces would strengthen the backbone of the Afghan army and provide assistance by securing major cities , lines of communication and transportation . The Afghan army forces had a high desertion rate and were loath to fight , especially since the Soviet forces pushed them into infantry roles while they manned the armored vehicles and artillery . The main reason though that the Afghan soldiers were so ineffective was their lack of morale as many of them were not truly loyal to the communist government but simply collecting a paycheck . Once it became apparent that the Soviets would have to get their hands dirty , they followed three main strategies aimed at quelling the uprising . Intimidation was the first strategy , in which the Soviets would use airborne attacks as well as armored ground attacks to destroy villages , livestock and crops in trouble areas . The Soviets would bomb villages that were near sites of guerrilla attacks on Soviet convoys or known to support resistance groups . Local peoples were forced to either flee their homes or die as daily Soviet attacks made it impossible to live in these areas . By forcing the people of Afghanistan to flee their homes , the Soviets hoped to deprive the guerillas of resources and safe havens . The second strategy consisted of subversion which entailed sending spies to join resistance groups and report information as well as bribing local tribes or guerrilla leaders into ceasing operations . Finally , the Soviets used military forays into contested territories in an effort to root out the guerillas and limit their options . Classic search and destroy operations were implemented using Mil Mi - 24 helicopter gunships that would provide cover for ground forces in armored vehicles . Once the villages were occupied by Soviet forces , inhabitants who remained were frequently interrogated and tortured for information or killed . An Afghan village left in ruins after being destroyed by Soviet forces To complement their brute force approach to weeding out the insurgency , the Soviets used KHAD ( Afghan secret police ) to gather intelligence , infiltrate the mujahideen , spread false information , bribe tribal militias into fighting and organize a government militia . While it is impossible to know exactly how successful the KHAD was in infiltrating mujahideen groups , it is thought that they succeeded in penetrating a good many resistance groups based in Afghanistan , Pakistan and Iran . KHAD is thought to have had particular success in igniting internal rivalries and political divisions amongst the resistance groups , rendering some of them completely useless because of infighting . The KHAD had some success in securing tribal loyalties but many of these relationships were fickle and temporary . Often KHAD secured neutrality agreements rather than committed political alignment . The Sarandoy , a KHAD controlled government militia , had mixed success in the war . Large salaries and proper weapons attracted a good number of recruits to the cause , even if they were not necessarily `` pro-communist '' . The problem was that many of the recruits they attracted were in fact mujahideen who would join up to procure arms , ammunition and money while also gathering information about forthcoming military operations . In 1985 , the size of the LCOSF ( Limited Contingent of Soviet Forces ) was increased to 108,800 and fighting increased throughout the country , making 1985 the bloodiest year of the war . However , despite suffering heavily , the mujahideen were able to remain in the field , mostly because they received thousands of new volunteers daily , and continue resisting the Soviets . A Soviet Spetsnaz ( special operations ) group prepares for a mission in Afghanistan , 1988 1980s : insurrection In the mid-1980s , the Afghan resistance movement , assisted by the United States , Pakistan , Saudi Arabia , the United Kingdom , Egypt , the People 's Republic of China and others , contributed to Moscow 's high military costs and strained international relations . The U.S. viewed the conflict in Afghanistan as an integral Cold War struggle , and the CIA provided assistance to anti-Soviet forces through the Pakistani intelligence services , in a program called Operation Cyclone . Pakistan 's North - West Frontier Province became a base for the Afghan resistance fighters and the Deobandi ulama of that province played a significant role in the Afghan ' jihad ' , with Madrasa Haqqaniyya becoming a prominent organisational and networking base for the anti-Soviet Afghan fighters . As well as money , Muslim countries provided thousands of volunteer fighters known as `` Afghan Arabs '' , who wished to wage jihad against the atheist communists . Notable among them was a young Saudi named Osama bin Laden , whose Arab group eventually evolved into al - Qaeda . Despite their numbers , the contribution has been called a `` curious sideshow to the real fighting , '' with only an estimated 2000 of them fighting `` at any one time '' , compared with about a 250,000 Afghan fighters and 125,000 Soviet troops . Their efforts were also sometimes counterproductive as in the March 1989 battle for Jalalabad . Instead of being the beginning of the collapse of the Afghan Communist government forces after their abandonment by the Soviets , the Afghan communists rallied to break the siege of Jalalabad and to win the first major government victory in years , provoked by the sight of a truck filled with dismembered bodies of Communists chopped to pieces after surrendering by radical non-Afghan salafists eager to show the enemy the fate awaiting the infidels . `` This success reversed the government 's demoralization from the withdrawal of Soviet forces , renewed its determination to fight on , and allowed it to survive three more years . '' In the course of the guerrilla war , leadership came to be distinctively associated with the title of `` commander '' . It applied to independent leaders , eschewing identification with elaborate military bureaucracy associated with such ranks as general . As the war produced leaders of reputation , `` commander '' was conferred on leaders of fighting units of all sizes , signifying pride in independence , self - sufficiency , and distinct ties to local communities . The title epitomized Afghan pride in their struggle against a powerful foe . Segmentation of power and religious leadership were the two values evoked by nomenclature generated in the war . Neither had been favored in the ideology of the former Afghan state . Afghanistan 's resistance movement was born in chaos , spread and triumphed chaotically , and did not find a way to govern differently . Virtually all of its war was waged locally by regional warlords . As warfare became more sophisticated , outside support and regional coordination grew . Even so , the basic units of mujahideen organization and action continued to reflect the highly segmented nature of Afghan society . Olivier Roy estimates that after four years of war , there were at least 4,000 bases from which mujahideen units operated . Most of these were affiliated with the seven expatriate parties headquartered in Pakistan , which served as sources of supply and varying degrees of supervision . Significant commanders typically led 300 or more men , controlled several bases and dominated a district or a sub-division of a province . Hierarchies of organization above the bases were attempted . Their operations varied greatly in scope , the most ambitious being achieved by Ahmad Shah Massoud of the Panjshir valley north of Kabul . He led at least 10,000 trained troopers at the end of the Soviet war and had expanded his political control of Tajik - dominated areas to Afghanistan 's northeastern provinces under the Supervisory Council of the North . Roy also describes regional , ethnic and sectarian variations in mujahideen organization . In the Pashtun areas of the east , south and southwest , tribal structure , with its many rival sub-divisions , provided the basis for military organization and leadership . Mobilization could be readily linked to traditional fighting allegiances of the tribal lashkar ( fighting force ) . In favorable circumstances such formations could quickly reach more than 10,000 , as happened when large Soviet assaults were launched in the eastern provinces , or when the mujahideen besieged towns , such as Khost in Paktia province in July 1983 . But in campaigns of the latter type the traditional explosions of manpower -- customarily common immediately after the completion of harvest -- proved obsolete when confronted by well dug - in defenders with modern weapons . Lashkar durability was notoriously short ; few sieges succeeded . Mujahideen mobilization in non-Pashtun regions faced very different obstacles . Prior to the intervention , few non-Pashtuns possessed firearms . Early in the war they were most readily available from army troops or gendarmerie who defected or were ambushed . The international arms market and foreign military support tended to reach the minority areas last . In the northern regions , little military tradition had survived upon which to build an armed resistance . Mobilization mostly came from political leadership closely tied to Islam . Roy contrasts the social leadership of religious figures in the Persian - and Turkic - speaking regions of Afghanistan with that of the Pashtuns . Lacking a strong political representation in a state dominated by Pashtuns , minority communities commonly looked to pious learned or charismatically revered pirs ( saints ) for leadership . Extensive Sufi and maraboutic networks were spread through the minority communities , readily available as foundations for leadership , organization , communication and indoctrination . These networks also provided for political mobilization , which led to some of the most effective of the resistance operations during the war . The mujahideen favoured sabotage operations . The more common types of sabotage included damaging power lines , knocking out pipelines and radio stations , blowing up government office buildings , air terminals , hotels , cinemas , and so on . In the border region with Pakistan , the mujahideen would often launch 800 rockets per day . Between April 1985 and January 1987 , they carried out over 23,500 shelling attacks on government targets . The mujahideen surveyed firing positions that they normally located near villages within the range of Soviet artillery posts , putting the villagers in danger of death from Soviet retaliation . The mujahideen used land mines heavily . Often , they would enlist the services of the local inhabitants , even children . Mujahideen praying in Shultan Valley , 1987 They concentrated on both civilian and military targets , knocking out bridges , closing major roads , attacking convoys , disrupting the electric power system and industrial production , and attacking police stations and Soviet military installations and air bases . They assassinated government officials and PDPA members , and laid siege to small rural outposts . In March 1982 , a bomb exploded at the Ministry of Education , damaging several buildings . In the same month , a widespread power failure darkened Kabul when a pylon on the transmission line from the Naghlu power station was blown up . In June 1982 a column of about 1,000 young communist party members sent out to work in the Panjshir valley were ambushed within 30 km of Kabul , with heavy loss of life . On September 4 , 1985 , insurgents shot down a domestic Bakhtar Airlines plane as it took off from Kandahar airport , killing all 52 people aboard . Mujahideen groups used for assassination had three to five men in each . After they received their mission to kill certain government officials , they busied themselves with studying his pattern of life and its details and then selecting the method of fulfilling their established mission . They practiced shooting at automobiles , shooting out of automobiles , laying mines in government accommodation or houses , using poison , and rigging explosive charges in transport . The areas where the different mujahideen forces operated in 1985 In May 1985 , the seven principal rebel organizations formed the Seven Party Mujahideen Alliance to coordinate their military operations against the Soviet army . Late in 1985 , the groups were active in and around Kabul , unleashing rocket attacks and conducting operations against the communist government . Media reaction `` Those hopelessly brave warriors I walked with , and their families , who suffered so much for faith and freedom and who are still not free , they were truly the people of God . '' -- Journalist Rob Schultheis , 1992 . International journalistic perception of the war varied . Major American television journalists were sympathetic to the mujahideen . Most visible was CBS news correspondent Dan Rather who in 1982 accused the Soviets of `` genocide , '' comparing them to Hitler . Rather was embedded with the mujahideen for a 60 Minutes report . In 1987 , CBS produced a full documentary special on the war . A retrospective commentary for Niemen Reports criticized mainstream television for biased presentation of a `` Ramboesque struggle of holy warriors against the evil empire . '' Reader 's Digest took a highly positive view of the mujahideen , a reversal of their usual view of Islamic fighters . The publication praised their martyrdom and their role in entrapping the Soviets in a Vietnam War - style disaster . At least some , such as leftist journalist Alexander Cockburn , were unsympathetic , criticizing Afghanistan as `` an unspeakable country filled with unspeakable people , sheepshaggers and smugglers , who have furnished in their leisure hours some of the worst arts and crafts ever to penetrate the occidental world . I yield to none in my sympathy to those prostrate beneath the Russian jackboot , but if ever a country deserved rape it 's Afghanistan . '' Robert D. Kaplan on the other hand , thought any perception of mujahideen as `` barbaric '' was unfair : `` Documented accounts of mujahidin savagery were relatively rare and involved enemy troops only . Their cruelty toward civilians was unheard of during the war , while Soviet cruelty toward civilians was common . '' Lack of interest in the mujahideen cause , Kaplan believed , was not the lack of intrinsic interest to be found in a war between a small , poor country and a superpower were a million civilians were killed , but the result of the great difficulty and unprofitability of media coverage . Kaplan note that `` none of the American TV networks had a bureau for a war '' , and television cameramen venturing to follow the mujahideen `` trekked for weeks on little food , only to return ill and half starved '' . In October 1984 the Soviet ambassador to Pakistan , Vitaly Smirnov , told Agence France Presse `` that journalists traveling with the mujahidin ' will be killed . And our units in Afghanistan will help the Afghan forces to do it . ' '' Unlike Vietnam and Lebanon , Afghanistan had `` absolutely no clash between the strange and the familiar '' , no `` rock - video quality '' of `` zonked - out GIs in headbands '' or `` rifle - wielding Shiite terrorists wearing Michael Jackson T - shirts '' that provided interesting `` visual materials '' for newscasts . 1986 : Stinger missile and `` Stinger effect '' Whether the introduction of the personal , portable , infrared - homing surface - to - air `` Stinger '' missile in September 1986 was a turning point in the war is disputed . Many Western military analysts credit the Stinger with a kill ratio of about 70 % and with responsibility for most of the over 350 Soviet or Afghan government aircraft and helicopters downed in the last two years of the war . Some military analysts considered it a `` game changer '' coined the term `` Stinger effect '' to describe it . According to US Congressman Charlie Wilson who was instrumental in funding the Stingers for the Mujahideen , before the Stinger the Mujahideen never won a set piece battle with the Soviets but after it was introduced , the Mujahideen never again lost one . However many Russian military analysts tend to be dismissive of the impact to the Stinger . According to Alan J. Kuperman , Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev decided to withdraw from Afghanistan a year before the mujahideen fired their first Stinger missiles , motivated by U.S. sanctions , not military losses . The stingers did make an impact at first but within a few months flares , beacons , and exhaust baffles were installed to disorient the missiles , along with night operation and terrain - hugging tactics to prevent the rebels from getting a clear shot . By 1988 , Kuperman states , the mujahideen had all but stopped firing them . Another source ( Jonathan Steele ) states that Stingers forced Soviet helicopters and ground attack planes to bomb from higher altitudes with less accuracy , but did not bring down many more aircraft than Chinese heavy machine guns and other less sophisticated antiaircraft weaponry . Exit Diplomatic efforts and Geneva Accords ( 1983 -- 88 ) Main article : Geneva Accords ( 1988 ) As early as 1983 , Pakistan 's Foreign ministry began working with the Soviet Union to provide them an exit from the Afghanistan , initiatives led by Foreign Minister Yaqub Ali Khan and Khurshid Kasuri . Despite an active support for insurgent groups , Pakistanis remained sympathetic to the challenges faced by the Russians in restoring the peace , eventually exploring the idea towards the possibility of setting - up the interim system of government under former monarch Zahir Shah but this was not authorized by President Zia - ul - Haq due to his stance on issue of Durand line . In 1984 -- 85 , Foreign Minister Yaqub Ali Khan paid state visits to China , Saudi Arabia , Soviet Union , France , United States and the United Kingdom in order to develop framework for the Geneva Accords which was signed in 1988 between Pakistan and Afghanistan . April 1985 -- January 1987 : exit strategy Awards ceremony for the 9th Company Soviet soldier in Afghanistan , 1988 The first step of the Soviet Union 's exit strategy was to transfer the burden of fighting the mujahideen to the Afghan armed forces , with the aim of preparing them to operate without Soviet help . During this phase , the Soviet contingent was restricted to supporting the DRA forces by providing artillery , air support and technical assistance , though some large - scale operations were still carried out by Soviet troops . Under Soviet guidance , the DRA armed forces were built up to an official strength of 302,000 in 1986 . To minimize the risk of a coup d'état , they were divided into different branches , each modeled on its Soviet counterpart . The ministry of defence forces numbered 132,000 , the ministry of interior 70,000 and the ministry of state security ( KHAD ) 80,000 . However , these were theoretical figures : in reality each service was plagued with desertions , the army alone suffering 32,000 per year . The decision to engage primarily Afghan forces was taken by the Soviets , but was resented by the PDPA , who viewed the departure of their protectors without enthusiasm . In May 1987 a DRA force attacked well - entrenched mujahideen positions in the Arghandab District , but the mujahideen held their ground , and the attackers suffered heavy casualties . In the spring of 1986 , an offensive into Paktia Province briefly occupied the mujahideen base at Zhawar only at the cost of heavy losses . Meanwhile , the mujahideen benefited from expanded foreign military support from the United States , Saudi Arabia , Pakistan and other Muslim nations . The US tended to favor the Afghan resistance forces led by Ahmed Shah Massoud , and US support for Massoud 's forces increased considerably during the Reagan administration in what US military and intelligence forces called `` Operation Cyclone '' . Primary advocates for supporting Massoud included two Heritage Foundation foreign policy analysts , Michael Johns and James A. Phillips , both of whom championed Massoud as the Afghan resistance leader most worthy of US support under the Reagan Doctrine . January 1987 -- February 1989 : withdrawal Main article : Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan Soviet T - 62 M main battle tank withdraws from Afghanistan The arrival of Mikhail Gorbachev on the scene in 1985 and his ' new thinking ' on foreign and domestic policy was likely an important factor in the Soviets ' decision to withdraw . Gorbachev had been attempting to remove the Soviet Union from the economic stagnation that had set in , under the leadership of Premier Brezhnev , and reform the Soviet Union 's economy and image across the board with Glasnost and Perestroika . Gorbachev had also been attempting to ease cold war tensions by signing the Intermediate - Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in 1987 with the U.S. and withdrawing the troops from Afghanistan whose presence had garnered so much international condemnation . Gorbachev regarded confrontation with China and resulting military build ups on that border as one of Brezhnev 's biggest mistakes . Beijing had stipulated that a normalization of relations would have to wait until Moscow withdrew its army from Afghanistan ( among other things ) and in 1989 the first Sino - Soviet summit in 30 years took place . At the same time , Gorbachev pressured his Cuban allies in Angola to scale down activities and withdraw even though Soviet allies were faring somewhat better there . The Soviets also pulled many of their troops out of Mongolia in 1987 where they were also having a far easier time than in Afghanistan and restrained the Vietnamese invasion of Kampuchea to the point of an all out withdrawal in 1988 . This massive withdrawal of Soviet forces from such highly contested areas shows that the Soviet government 's decision to leave Afghanistan was based upon a general change in Soviet foreign policy - from that of confrontation to avoidance of conflict wherever possible . In the last phase , Soviet troops prepared and executed their withdrawal from Afghanistan , whilst limiting the launching of offensive operations by those who had n't withdrawn yet . By mid-1987 the Soviet Union announced that it would start withdrawing its forces . Sibghatullah Mojaddedi was selected as the head of the Interim Islamic State of Afghanistan , in an attempt to reassert its legitimacy against the Moscow - sponsored Kabul regime . Mojaddedi , as head of the Interim Afghan Government , met with then Vice President of the United States George H.W. Bush , achieving a critical diplomatic victory for the Afghan resistance . Defeat of the Kabul government was their solution for peace . This confidence , sharpened by their distrust of the United Nations , virtually guaranteed their refusal to accept a political compromise . In September 1988 , Soviet MiG - 23 fighters shot down one Pakistani F - 16 and two Iranian AH - 1J Cobra , who intruded in Afghan airspace . Operation Magistral , has been one of the final offensive operations undertaken by the Soviets ; a successful sweep operation that cleared the road between Gardez and Khost . This operation did not have any lasting effect on the outcome of the conflict nor the soiled political and military status of the Soviets in the eyes of the West , but was a symbolic gesture that marked the end of their widely condemned presence in the country with a victory . The first half of the Soviet contingent was withdrawn from May 15 to August 16 , 1988 and the second from November 15 to February 15 , 1989 . In order to ensure a safe passage the Soviets had negotiated ceasefires with local mujahideen commanders , so the withdrawal was generally executed peacefully , except for the operation `` Typhoon '' . CGen of 40th Army , Boris Gromov , announcing the withdrawal of Soviet contingent forces . General Yazov , the Defense Minister of Soviet Union , ordered the 40th Army to violate the agreement with Ahmed Shah Masood , who commanded a large force in the Panjshir Valley , and attack his relaxed and exposed forces . The Soviet attack was initiated to protect Najibullah , who did not have a cease fire in effect with Masood , and who rightly feared an offensive by Masood 's forces after the Soviet withdrawal . General Gromov , the 40th Army Commander , objected to the operation , but reluctantly obeyed the order . `` Typhoon '' began on January 23 and continued for three days . To minimize their own losses the Soviets abstained from close - range fight , instead they used long - range artillery , surface - to - surface and air - to - surface missiles . Numerous civilian casualties were reported . Masood had not threatened the withdrawal to this point , and did not attack Soviet forces after they breached the agreement . Overall , the Soviet attack represented a defeat for Masood 's forces , who lost 600 fighters killed and wounded . After the withdrawal of the Soviets the DRA forces were left fighting alone and had to abandon some provincial capitals , and it was widely believed that they would not be able to resist the mujahideen for long . However , in the spring of 1989 DRA forces inflicted a sharp defeat on the mujahideen at Jalalabad . The government of President Karmal , a puppet regime , was largely ineffective . It was weakened by divisions within the PDPA and the Parcham faction , and the regime 's efforts to expand its base of support proved futile . Moscow came to regard Karmal as a failure and blamed him for the problems . Years later , when Karmal 's inability to consolidate his government had become obvious , Mikhail Gorbachev , then General Secretary of the Soviet Communist Party , said : `` The main reason that there has been no national consolidation so far is that Comrade Karmal is hoping to continue sitting in Kabul with our help '' . In November 1986 , Mohammad Najibullah , former chief of the Afghan secret police ( KHAD ) , was elected president and a new constitution was adopted . He also introduced in 1987 a policy of `` national reconciliation , '' devised by experts of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union , and later used in other regions of the world . Despite high expectations , the new policy neither made the Moscow - backed Kabul regime more popular , nor did it convince the insurgents to negotiate with the ruling government . A column of Soviet BTR armored personnel carriers departing from Afghanistan . Informal negotiations for a Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan had been underway since 1982 . In 1988 , the governments of Pakistan and Afghanistan , with the United States and Soviet Union serving as guarantors , signed an agreement settling the major differences between them known as the Geneva Accords . The United Nations set up a special Mission to oversee the process . In this way , Najibullah had stabilized his political position enough to begin matching Moscow 's moves toward withdrawal . On July 20 , 1987 , the withdrawal of Soviet troops from the country was announced . The withdrawal of Soviet forces was planned out by Lt. Gen. Boris Gromov , who , at the time , was the commander of the 40th Army . Among other things the Geneva accords identified the US and Soviet non-intervention in the internal affairs of Pakistan and Afghanistan and a timetable for full Soviet withdrawal . The agreement on withdrawal held , and on February 15 , 1989 , the last Soviet troops departed on schedule from Afghanistan . Atrocities Massacres American professor Samuel Totten , Australian professor Paul R. Bartrop , scholars from Yale Law School such as W. Michael Reisman and Charles Norchi , as well as scholar Mohammed Kakar , believe that the Afghans were victims of genocide by the Soviet Union . The army of the Soviet Union killed large numbers of Afghans to suppress their resistance . The Soviet forces and their proxies deliberately targeted civilians , particularly in rural areas . Up to 2 million Afghans lost their lives during the Soviet occupation . In one notable incident the Soviet Army committed mass killing of civilians in the summer of 1980 . In order to separate the mujahideen from the local populations and eliminate their support , the Soviet army killed and drove off civilians , and used scorched earth tactics to prevent their return . They used booby traps , mines , and chemical substances throughout the country . The Soviet army indescriminately killed combatants and noncombatants to ensure submission by the local populations . The provinces of Nangarhar , Ghazni , Lagham , Kunar , Zabul , Qandahar , Badakhshan , Lowgar , Paktia and Paktika witnessed extensive depopulation programmes by the Soviet forces . Rape The Soviet forces abducted Afghan women in helicopters while flying in the country in search of mujahideen . In November 1980 a number of such incidents had taken place in various parts of the country , including Laghman and Kama . Soviet soldiers as well as KhAD agents kidnapped young women from the city of Kabul and the areas of Darul Aman and Khair Khana , near the Soviet garrisons , to rape them . Women who were taken and raped by Russian soldiers were considered ' dishonoured ' by their families if they returned home . Deserters from the Soviet Army in 1984 also confirmed the atrocities by the Soviet troops on Afghan women and children , stating that Afghan women were being raped . Impact International reaction President Jimmy Carter placed a trade embargo against the Soviet Union on shipments of commodities such as grain . This resulted in newly increased tensions between the two nations . On top of recently sparked apprehensions in the West directed toward the tens of thousands of Soviet troops which were of close proximity to oil - rich regions in the Persian Gulf , the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan effectively brought about the end of détente . The international diplomatic response was severe , ranging from stern warnings from the UN to a US - led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow ( in which Afghanistan competed ) . The intervention , along with other events , such as the Iranian revolution and the US hostage stand - off that accompanied it , the Iran -- Iraq War , the 1982 Lebanon War and the escalating tensions between Pakistan and India , contributed to the volatility of the Middle East and South Asian regions in the 1980s . The Non-Aligned Movement was sharply divided between those who believed the Soviet deployment to be a legitimate police action and others who considered the deployment an illegal invasion . Among the Warsaw Pact countries , the intervention was condemned only by Romania . India , a close ally of the Soviet Union , refused to support the Afghan war , though by the end of the hostilities , offered to provide humanitarian assistance to the Afghan government . Foreign involvement and aid to the mujahideen U.S. President Reagan meeting with Afghan mujahideen at the White House , to highlight Soviet atrocities in Afghanistan The Afghan Mujahideen were supported by several other countries , with the U.S. and Saudi Arabia offering the greatest financial support . The first shipment of U.S. weapons intended for the mujahideen reached Pakistan on January 10 , 1980 , shortly following the Soviet invasion . United States President Carter insisted that what he termed `` Soviet aggression '' could not be viewed as an isolated event of limited geographical importance but had to be contested as a potential threat to US influence in the Persian Gulf region . The US was also worried about the USSR gaining access to the Indian Ocean by coming to an arrangement with Pakistan . ( The Soviet air base outside of Kandahar was `` 30 minutes flying time by strike aircraft or naval bomber '' to the Persian Gulf according to Robert Kaplan . It `` became the heart of the southernmost concentration of Soviet soldier '' in the 300 - year history of Russian expansion in central Asia . ) National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski , known for his hardline policies on the Soviet Union , initiated in 1979 a campaign supporting mujahideen in Pakistan and Afghanistan , which was run by Pakistani security services with financial support from the Central Intelligence Agency and Britain 's MI6 . Years later , in a 1997 CNN / National Security Archive interview , Brzezinski detailed the strategy taken by the Carter administration against the Soviets in 1979 : We immediately launched a twofold process when we heard that the Soviets had entered Afghanistan . The first involved direct reactions and sanctions focused on the Soviet Union , and both the State Department and the National Security Council prepared long lists of sanctions to be adopted , of steps to be taken to increase the international costs to the Soviet Union of their actions . And the second course of action led to my going to Pakistan a month or so after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan , for the purpose of coordinating with the Pakistanis a joint response , the purpose of which would be to make the Soviets bleed for as much and as long as is possible ; and we engaged in that effort in a collaborative sense with the Saudis , the Egyptians , the British , the Chinese , and we started providing weapons to the Mujaheddin , from various sources again -- for example , some Soviet arms from the Egyptians and the Chinese . We even got Soviet arms from the Czechoslovak communist government , since it was obviously susceptible to material incentives ; and at some point we started buying arms for the Mujaheddin from the Soviet army in Afghanistan , because that army was increasingly corrupt . The supplying of billions of dollars in arms to the Afghan mujahideen militants was one of the CIA 's longest and most expensive covert operations . The CIA provided assistance to the fundamentalist insurgents through the Pakistani secret services , Inter-Services Intelligence ( ISI ) , in a program called Operation Cyclone . At least 3 billion in U.S. dollars were funneled into the country to train and equip troops with weapons . Together with similar programs by Saudi Arabia , Britain 's MI6 and SAS , Egypt , Iran , and the People 's Republic of China , the arms included FIM - 43 Redeye , shoulder - fired , antiaircraft weapons that they used against Soviet helicopters . Pakistan 's secret service , Inter-Services Intelligence ( ISI ) , was used as an intermediary for most of these activities to disguise the sources of support for the resistance . Three mujahideen in Asmar , 1985 Although some sources have claimed that no Americans had direct contact with the mujahideen , there was recurrent contact between the CIA and Afghan commanders , especially by agent Howard Hart , and Director of Central Intelligence William Casey personally visited training camps on several occasions . There was also direct Pentagon and State Department involvement which led to several major mujahideen being welcomed to the White House for a conference in October 1985 . Gulbuddin Hekmatyar declined the opportunity to meet with Ronald Reagan , but Yunus Khalis and Abdul Haq were hosted by the president . CIA agents are also known to have given direct cash payments to Jalaluddin Haqqani . Shortly after the intervention , Pakistan 's military ruler General Muhammad Zia - ul - Haq called for a meeting of senior military members and technocrats of his military government . At this meeting , General Zia - ul - Haq asked the Chief of Army Staff General Khalid Mahmud Arif and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Muhammad Shariff to lead a specialized civil - military team to formulate a geo - strategy to counter the Soviet aggression . At this meeting , the Director - General of the ISI at that time , Lieutenant - General Akhtar Abdur Rahman advocated for an idea of covert operation in Afghanistan by arming the Islamic extremist , and was loudly heard saying : `` Kabul must burn ! Kabul must burn ! '' . As for Pakistan , the Soviet war with Islamist mujahideen was viewed as retaliation for the Soviet Union 's long unconditional support of regional rival , India , notably during the 1965 and the 1971 wars , which led to the loss of East Pakistan . After the Soviet deployment , Pakistan 's military ruler General Muhammad Zia - ul - Haq started accepting financial aid from the Western powers to aid the mujahideen . In 1981 , following the election of US President Ronald Reagan , aid for the mujahideen through Zia 's Pakistan significantly increased , mostly due to the efforts of Texas Congressman Charlie Wilson and CIA officer Gust Avrakotos . Spetsnaz troops interrogate a captured mujahideen with an RPG , rounds and AK47 in the background , 1986 A German database showing the channeling of the money and weapons , provided by ISI officer Mohammad Yousaf in his book : Afghanistan -- The Bear Trap : The Defeat of a Superpower Pakistan 's ISI and Special Service Group ( SSG ) were actively involved in the conflict . The SSG are widely suspected of participating in Operation Hill 3234 , near the Pakistani border where nearly 200 suspected SSG personnel were killed in a futile attempt to assault the Soviet held hill . The theft of large sums of aid spurred Pakistan 's economic growth , but along with the war in general had devastating side effects for that country . The siphoning off of aid weapons , in which the weapons logistics and coordination were put under the Pakistan Navy in the port city of Karachi , contributed to disorder and violence there , while heroin entering from Afghanistan to pay for arms contributed to addiction problems . The Navy went into covert war and coordinated the foreign weapons into Afghanistan , while some of its high - ranking admirals were responsible for storing the weapons in the Navy depot , later coordinated the weapons supply to mujahideen . In retaliation for Pakistan 's assistance to the insurgents , the KHAD Afghan security service , under leader Mohammad Najibullah , carried out ( according to the Mitrokhin Archives and other sources ) a large number of operations against Pakistan . In 1987 , 127 incidents resulted in 234 deaths in Pakistan . In April 1988 , an ammunition depot outside the Pakistani capital of Islamabad was blown up killing 100 and injuring more than 1000 people . The KHAD and KGB were suspected in the perpetration of these acts . Soviet and Afghan fighters and bombers occasionally bombed Pakistani villages along the Pakistani - Afghan border . These attacks are known to have caused at least 300 civilian deaths and extensive damage . Sometimes they got involved in shootings with the Pakistani jets defending the airspace . Pakistan took in millions of Afghan refugees ( mostly Pashtun ) fleeing the Soviet occupation . Although the refugees were controlled within Pakistan 's largest province , Balochistan under then - martial law ruler General Rahimuddin Khan , the influx of so many refugees -- believed to be the largest refugee population in the world -- spread into several other regions . All of this had a heavy impact on Pakistan and its effects continue to this day . Pakistan , through its support for the mujahideen , played a significant role in the eventual withdrawal of Soviet military personnel from Afghanistan . During the Sino - Soviet split , strained relations between China and the USSR resulted in bloody border clashes and mutual backing for the opponent 's enemies . China and Afghanistan had neutral relations with each other during the King 's rule . When the pro-Soviet Afghan Communists seized power in Afghanistan in 1978 , relations between China and the Afghan communists quickly turned hostile . The Afghan pro-Soviet communists supported China 's then - enemy Vietnam and blamed China for supporting Afghan anticommunist militants . China responded to the Soviet war in Afghanistan by supporting the Afghan mujahideen and ramping up their military presence near Afghanistan in Xinjiang . China acquired military equipment from America to defend itself from Soviet attack . The Chinese People 's Liberation Army trained and supported the Afghan mujahideen during the war . The training camps were moved from Pakistan into China itself . Anti-aircraft missiles , rocket launchers and machine guns , valued at hundreds of millions , were given to the mujahideen by the Chinese . Chinese military advisors and army troops were present with the Mujahidin during training . Soviet personnel strengths and casualties Soviet soldiers return from Afghanistan , October 1986 Afghans commemorating Mujahideen Victory Day Between December 25 , 1979 , and February 15 , 1989 , a total of 620,000 soldiers served with the forces in Afghanistan ( though there were only 80,000 -- 104,000 serving at one time ) : 525,000 in the Army , 90,000 with border troops and other KGB sub-units , 5,000 in independent formations of MVD Internal Troops , and police forces . A further 21,000 personnel were with the Soviet troop contingent over the same period doing various white collar and blue collar jobs . The total irrecoverable personnel losses of the Soviet Armed Forces , frontier , and internal security troops came to 14,453 . Soviet Army formations , units , and HQ elements lost 13,833 , KGB sub-units lost 572 , MVD formations lost 28 , and other ministries and departments lost 20 men . During this period 312 servicemen were missing in action or taken prisoner ; 119 were later freed , of whom 97 returned to the USSR and 22 went to other countries . Of the troops deployed , 53,753 were wounded , injured , or sustained concussion and 415,932 fell sick . A high proportion of casualties were those who fell ill . This was because of local climatic and sanitary conditions , which were such that acute infections spread rapidly among the troops . There were 115,308 cases of infectious hepatitis , 31,080 of typhoid fever , and 140,665 of other diseases . Of the 11,654 who were discharged from the army after being wounded , maimed , or contracting serious diseases , 10,751 men , were left disabled . Material losses were as follows : 451 aircraft ( includes 333 helicopters ) 147 tanks 1,314 IFV / APCs 433 artillery guns and mortars 11,369 cargo and fuel tanker trucks . Use of chemical weapons There have also been numerous reports of chemical weapons being used by Soviet forces in Afghanistan , often indiscriminately against civilians . A declassified CIA report from 1982 states that between 1979 and 1982 there were 43 separate chemical weapons attacks which caused more than 3000 deaths . By early 1980 , attacks with chemical weapons were reported in `` all areas with concentrated resistance activity '' . Causes of withdrawal Some of the causes of the Soviet Union 's withdrawal from Afghanistan leading to the Afghanistan regime 's eventual defeat include The Soviet Army of 1980 was trained and equipped for large scale , conventional warfare in Central Europe against a similar opponent , i.e. it used armored and motor - rifle formations . This was notably ineffective against small scale guerrilla groups using hit - and - run tactics in the rough terrain of Afghanistan . The large Red Army formations were n't mobile enough to engage small groups of Muj fighters that easily merged back into the terrain . The set strategy also meant that troops were discouraged from `` tactical initiative '' , essential in counter insurgency , because it `` tended to upset operational timing '' . The Russians used large scale offensives against Mujahideen strongholds , such as in the Panjshir Valley , which temporarily clearing those sectors and killed many civilians in addition to enemy combatants . The biggest shortcoming here was the fact that once the Russians did engage the enemy in force , they failed to hold the ground by withdrawing once their operation was completed . The killing of civilians further alienated the population from the Soviets , with bad long - term effects . The Soviets did n't have enough men to fight a counter-insurgency war ( COIN ) , and their troops were not motivated . The peak number of Soviet troops during the war was 115,000 . The bulk of these troops were conscripts , which led to poor combat performance in their Motor - Rifle Formations . However , the Russians did have their elite infantry units , such as the famed Spetsnaz , the VDV , and their recon infantry . The problem with their elite units was not combat effectiveness , but the fact that there were not enough of them and that they were employed incorrectly . Intelligence gathering , essential for successful COIN , was inadequate . The Soviets over-relied on less - than - accurate aerial recon and radio intercepts rather than their recon infantry and special forces . Although their special forces and recon infantry units performed very well in combat against the Mujahideen , they would have better served in intelligence gathering . The concept of a `` war of national liberation '' against a Soviet - sponsored `` revolutionary '' regime was so alien to the Soviet dogma , the leadership could not `` come to grips '' with it . This led to , among other things , a suppression by the Soviet media for several years of the truth how bad the war was going , which caused a backlash when it was unable to hide it further . Destruction in Afghanistan Civilian death and destruction from the war was considerable . Estimates of Afghan civilian deaths vary from 562,000 to 2,000,000. 5 -- 10 million Afghans fled to Pakistan and Iran , 1 / 3 of the prewar population of the country , and another 2 million were displaced within the country . In the 1980s , half of all refugees in the world were Afghan . U.S. military personnel ( with civilian far right , in suit ) at Rhein Main Air Base , Frankfurt , Germany . A civilian volunteer with an Afghan NGO in Germany assists a blinded Afghan Mujahid off the air stair . Felix Ermacora , the UN Special Rapporteur to Afghanistan , said that heavy fighting in combat areas cost the lives of more than 35,000 civilians in 1985 , 15,000 in 1986 , and around 14,000 in 1987 . R.J. Rummel , an analyst of political killings , estimated that Soviet forces were responsible for 250,000 democidal killings during the war and that the government of Afghanistan was responsible for 178,000 democidal killings . There were also a number of reports of large scale executions of hundreds of civilians by Soviet and DRA soldiers . Noor Ahmed Khalidi calculated that 876,825 Afghans were killed during the Soviet invasion . Martin Ewan and Marek Sliwinski estimated the number of war deaths to be much higher , at 1.25 million . However , Siddieq Noorzoy presents an even higher figure of 1.71 million deaths during the Soviet - Afghan war . Anti-government forces were also responsible for some casualties . Rocket attacks on Kabul 's residential areas caused more than 4000 civilian deaths in 1987 according to the UN 's Ermacora . Along with fatalities were 1.2 million Afghans disabled ( mujahideen , government soldiers and noncombatants ) and 3 million maimed or wounded ( primarily noncombatants ) . Irrigation systems , crucial to agriculture in Afghanistan 's arid climate , were destroyed by aerial bombing and strafing by Soviet or government forces . In the worst year of the war , 1985 , well over half of all the farmers who remained in Afghanistan had their fields bombed , and over one quarter had their irrigation systems destroyed and their livestock shot by Soviet or government troops , according to a survey conducted by Swedish relief experts Charlie Wilson ( D - TX ) , 2nd from the left , dressing in Afghan clothing ( armed with AK - 47 ) with the local Afghan mujahideen . The population of Afghanistan 's second largest city , Kandahar , was reduced from 200,000 before the war to no more than 25,000 inhabitants , following a months - long campaign of carpet bombing and bulldozing by the Soviets and Afghan communist soldiers in 1987 . Land mines had killed 25,000 Afghans during the war and another 10 -- 15 million land mines , most planted by Soviet and government forces , were left scattered throughout the countryside . The International Committee of the Red Cross estimated in 1994 that it would take 4,300 years to remove all the Soviet land mines in Afghanistan . A PFM - 1 mine , often mistaken for a toy by children . The mine 's shape was dictated by aerodynamics . A great deal of damage was done to the civilian children population by land mines . A 2005 report estimated 3 -- 4 % of the Afghan population were disabled due to Soviet and government land mines . In the city of Quetta , a survey of refugee women and children taken shortly after the Soviet withdrawal found child mortality at 31 % , and over 80 % of the children refugees to be unregistered . Of children who survived , 67 % were severely malnourished , with malnutrition increasing with age . Critics of Soviet and Afghan government forces describe their effect on Afghan culture as working in three stages : first , the center of customary Afghan culture , Islam , was pushed aside ; second , Soviet patterns of life , especially amongst the young , were imported ; third , shared Afghan cultural characteristics were destroyed by the emphasis on so - called nationalities , with the outcome that the country was split into different ethnic groups , with no language , religion , or culture in common . The Geneva Accords of 1988 , which ultimately led to the withdrawal of the Soviet forces in early 1989 , left the Afghan government in ruins . The accords had failed to address adequately the issue of the post-occupation period and the future governance of Afghanistan . The assumption among most Western diplomats was that the Soviet - backed government in Kabul would soon collapse ; however , this was not to happen for another three years . During this time the Interim Islamic Government of Afghanistan ( IIGA ) was established in exile . The exclusion of key groups such as refugees and Shias , combined with major disagreements between the different mujahideen factions , meant that the IIGA never succeeded in acting as a functional government . Afghan guerrillas that were chosen to receive medical treatment in the United States , Norton Air Force Base , California , 1986 Before the war , Afghanistan was already one of the world 's poorest nations . The prolonged conflict left Afghanistan ranked 170 out of 174 in the UNDP 's Human Development Index , making Afghanistan one of the least developed countries in the world . Once the Soviets withdrew , US interest in Afghanistan slowly decreased over the following four years , much of it administered through the DoD Office of Humanitarian Assistance , under the then Director of HA , George M. Dykes III . With the first years of the Clinton Administration in Washington , DC , all aid ceased . The US decided not to help with reconstruction of the country , instead handing the interests of the country over to US allies Saudi Arabia and Pakistan . Pakistan quickly took advantage of this opportunity and forged relations with warlords and later the Taliban , to secure trade interests and routes . The ten years following the war saw much ecological and agrarian destruction -- from wiping out the country 's trees through logging practices , which has destroyed all but 2 % of forest cover country - wide , to substantial uprooting of wild pistachio trees for the exportation of their roots for therapeutic uses , to opium agriculture . Captain Tarlan Eyvazov , a soldier in the Soviet forces during the war , stated that the Afghan children 's future is destined for war . Eyvazov said , `` Children born in Afghanistan at the start of the war ... have been brought up in war conditions , this is their way of life . '' Eyvazov 's theory was later strengthened when the Taliban movement developed and formed from orphans or refugee children who were forced by the Soviets to flee their homes and relocate their lives in Pakistan . The swift rise to power , from the young Taliban in 1996 , was the result of the disorder and civil war that had warlords running wild because of the complete breakdown of law and order in Afghanistan after the departure of the Soviets . The CIA World Fact Book reported that as of 2004 , Afghanistan still owed $8 billion in bilateral debt , mostly to Russia , however , in 2007 Russia agreed to cancel most of the debt . Refugees Main articles : Afghan refugees and Afghans in Pakistan 5.5 million Afghans were made refugees by the war -- a full one third of the country 's pre-war population -- fleeing the country to Pakistan or Iran . A total of 3.3 million Afghan refugees were housed in Pakistan by 1988 , some of whom continue to live in the country up until today . Of this total , about 100,000 were based in the city of Peshawar , while more than 2 million were located in other parts of the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ( then known as the North - West Frontier Province ) . At the same time , close to two million Afghans were living in Iran . Over the years Pakistan and Iran have imposed tighter controls on refugees which have resulted in numerous returnees . In 2012 Pakistan banned extensions of visas to foreigners . Afghan refugees have also settled in India and became Indian citizens over time . Some also made their way into North America , the European Union , Australia , and other parts of the world . The photo of Sharbat Gula placed on National Geographic cover in 1985 became a symbol both of the 1980s Afghan conflict and of the refugee situation . Aftermath Weakening of the Soviet Union According to scholars Rafael Reuveny and Aseem Prakash , the war contributed to the fall of the Soviet Union by undermining the image of the Red Army as invincible , undermining Soviet legitimacy , and by creating new forms of political participation . The war created a cleavage between the party and the military in the Soviet Union where the efficacy of using the Soviet military to maintain the USSR 's overseas interests was now put in doubt . In the non-Russian republics , those interested in independence were emboldened by the army 's defeat . In Russia the war created cleavage between the party and the military , changing the perceptions of leaders about the ability to put down anti-Soviet resistance militarily ( as it had in Czechoslovakia in 1968 , Hungary in 1956 , and East Germany in 1953 ) . As the war was viewed as `` a Russian war fought by non Russians against Afghans '' , outside of Russia it undermined the legitimacy of the Soviet Union as a trans - national political union . The war created new forms of political participation , in the form of new civil organizations of war veterans ( Afghansti ) which weakened the political hegemony of the communist party . It also started the transformation of the press / media which continued under glasnost . Civil war Two Soviet T - 55 tanks left by the Soviet army during their withdrawal lie rusting in a field near Bagram Airfield , in 2002 Main articles : Conflict in Afghanistan ( 1978 -- present ) and Civil war in Afghanistan ( 1989 -- 1992 ) The war did not end with the withdrawal of the Soviet Army . The Soviet Union left Afghanistan deep in winter , with intimations of panic among Kabul officials . The Afghan mujahideen were poised to attack provincial towns and cities and eventually Kabul , if necessary . Najibullah 's government , though failing to win popular support , territory , or international recognition , was able to remain in power until 1992 . Civil war between the Afghan army and mujahideen continued and about 400,000 Afghan civilians had lost their lives in the chaos and civil war of the 1990s . Ironically , until demoralized by the defections of its senior officers , the Afghan Army had achieved a level of performance it had never reached under direct Soviet tutelage . Kabul had achieved a stalemate that exposed the mujahideen 's weaknesses , political and military . But for nearly three years , while Najibullah 's government successfully defended itself against mujahideen attacks , factions within the government had also developed connections with its opponents . According to Russian publicist Andrey Karaulov , the main trigger for Najibullah losing power was Russia 's refusal to sell oil products to Afghanistan in 1992 for political reasons ( the new Yeltsin government did not want to support the former communists ) , which effectively triggered an embargo . The defection of General Abdul Rashid Dostam and his Uzbek militia , in March 1992 , further undermined Najibullah 's control of the state . In April , Najibullah and his communist government fell to the mujahideen , who replaced Najibullah with a new governing council for the country . Grain production declined an average of 3.5 % per year between 1978 and 1990 due to sustained fighting , instability in rural areas , prolonged drought , and deteriorated infrastructure . Soviet efforts to disrupt production in rebel - dominated areas also contributed to this decline . During the withdrawal of Soviet troops , Afghanistan 's natural gas fields were capped to prevent sabotage . Restoration of gas production has been hampered by internal strife and the disruption of traditional trading relationships following the dissolution of the Soviet Union . Extremism and `` blowback '' Following the Soviet withdrawal , some of the foreign volunteers ( including Osama bin Laden 's Al Qaeda ) and young Afghan refugees , went on to continue violent jihad in Afghanistan , Pakistan and abroad . Some of the thousands of Afghan Arabs who left Afghanistan went on to become `` capable leaders , religious ideologues and military commanders , '' who played `` vital roles '' as insurgents or terrorists in places such as Algeria , Egypt , Bosnia and Chechnya . Tens of thousands of Afghan refugee children in Pakistan were educated in madrasses `` in a spirit of conservatism and religious rigor '' , and went on to fill the ranks and leadership of the Taliban in Afghanistan and Sipah - e-Sahaba in Pakistan . The groups embodied new varieties of Political Islam -- `` Salafi jihadism '' among the foreign volunteers , and a `` hybrid '' Deobandi jihadism among the madrassa - educated . As many as 35,000 non-Afghan Muslim fighters went to Afghanistan between 1982 and 1992 . Thousands more came and did not fight but attended schools with `` former and future fighters '' . These `` Afghan - Arabs '' had a marginal impact on the jihad against the Soviets , but a much greater effect after the Soviets left and in other countries . ( After the Soviets left , training continued and `` tens of thousands '' from `` some 40 nations '' came to prepare for armed insurrections `` to bring the struggle back home ''. ) The man instrumental not only in generating international support but also in inspiring these volunteers to travel to Afghanistan for the jihad was a Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood cleric , Abdullah Azzam . Touring the Muslim world and the United States , he inspired young Muslims with stories of miraculous deeds , such as mujahideen who defeated vast columns of Soviet troops virtually single - handedly , angels riding into battle on horseback , and falling bombs intercepted by birds . When back in the volunteer camps and training centers that he helped set up around Peshawar , Pakistan , Azzam exercised a `` strong influence . '' He preached the importance of jihad : `` those who believe that Islam can flourish ( and ) be victorious without Jihad , fighting , and blood are deluded and have no understanding of the nature of this religion '' ; of not compromising : `` Jihad and the rifle alone : no negotiations , no conferences and no dialogues '' ; and that Afghanistan was only the beginning : jihad would `` remain an individual obligation '' for Muslims until all other formerly - Muslim lands -- `` Palestine , Bukhara , Lebanon , Chad , Eritrea , Somalia , the Philippines , Burma , South Yemen , Tashkent , Andalusia '' -- were reconquered . The volunteers also influenced each other . Many `` unexpected '' religious - political ideas resulted from the `` cross-pollination '' during the `` great gathering '' of Islamists from dozens of countries in the camps and training centers . One in particular was a `` variant of Islamist ideology based on armed struggle and extreme religious vigour '' , known as Salafi jihadism . When the Soviet Union fell shortly after their withdrawal from Afghanistan , the volunteers were `` exultant '' , believing that -- in the words of Osama bin Laden -- the credit for `` the dissolution of the Soviet Union ... goes to God and the mujahideen in Afghanistan ... the US had no mentionable role , '' ( Soviet economic troubles and United States aid to mujahideen notwithstanding ) . They eagerly sought to duplicate their jihad in other countries . Three such countries were Bosnia , Algeria and Egypt . In Bosnia the Salafi jihadist Afghan Arabs fought against Bosnian Serb and Croat militias but failed to establish a Salafi state . In Algeria and Egypt thousand of volunteers returned and fought but were even less successful . In Algeria Salafi jihadist helped lead and fight for the GIA , deliberately killing thousands of civilians . In Egypt the Al - Gama'a al - Islamiyya killed more than a thousand people between 1990 and 1997 but also failed to overthrow the government . Spread of extremism in Pakistan Further information : Sectarianism in Pakistan and War in North - West Pakistan Among the approximately three million Afghan refugees in Pakistan , thousands of children were educated in madrasa boarding schools financed by aid from the US and Gulf monarchies . Since that aid was distributed according to the conservative Islamist ideological criteria of Pakistan 's President Muhammad Zia - ul - Haq and Saudi Arabia ( and ignoring native Afghan traditions ) , the schools were part of networks of the favored Hizb - e-Islami party and the Pakistan Deobandi . ( Iran provided similar help to Shia Islamist groups and punishments to moderate Shia nationalist Afghans . ) Cut off from families and local traditions , the madrassa students were `` educated to put Deobandi doctrines into action through obedience to the fatwas produced in the madrasses in a spirit of conservatism and religious rigor . '' As the Afghans students came of age , they formed `` the mainstay '' of the Taliban in Afghanistan and of the anti-Shia Sipah - e-Sahaba Sunni terror group in Pakistan . But unlike the traditionally non-violent Deobandi , this `` hybrid movement '' embraced the violence of jihad , and unlike the Islamists of Hizb - e-Islami they were uninterested in `` islamizing modernity '' of western knowledge or in western knowledge at all . The culture of religious purification , absolute obedience to leaders , and disinterest in anything else , is thought to explain the willingness of Hizb - e-Islami - trained soldiers to bombard Kabul with artillery and kill thousands of civilians , reassured by their commander that the civilians they killed would `` be rewarded '' in heaven if they were `` good Muslims '' . From 2008 to 2014 `` thousands of Shia '' have been killed by Sunni extremists according to Human Rights Watch . `` Blowback '' Further information : Allegations of CIA assistance to Osama bin Laden Blowback , or unintended consequences of funding the mujahideen , was said to have come to the United States in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the September 11 attacks . In the 1993 bombing , all of the participants in the bombing `` either had served in Afghanistan or were linked to a Brooklyn - based fund - raising organ for the Afghan jihad '' that was later `` revealed to be al Qaeda 's de facto U.S. headquarters '' . Principals in the 2001 attack -- Osama Bin Laden , Khalid Sheikh Mohammed -- had both fought in Afghanistan , and bin Laden was a lieutenant of Abdullah Azzam . His group Al Qaeda , returned to Afghanistan to take refuge with the Taliban after being expelled from Sudan . Before the 9 / 11 attack , Al Qaeda had bombed two U.S. embassies in Africa in 1998 , and nearly sank the U.S.S. Cole in Yemen in 2000 . However , no direct U.S. aid to bin Laden or any of his affiliates has ever been established . Media and popular culture Main article : Soviet war in Afghanistan in popular culture Perception in the former USSR 20th Anniversary of Withdrawal of Soviet Military Forces from Afghanistan . Stamp of Belarus , 2009 . Commemorating the intervention of December 25 , 1979 , in December 2009 , veterans of the Soviet war in Afghanistan were honoured by the Duma or Parliament of the Russian Federation . On December 25 , the lower house of the parliament defended the Soviet war in Afghanistan on the 30th anniversary of its start , and praised the veterans of the conflict .

By the end of August , Pakistani President Muhammad Zia - ul - Haq was pressuring the United States for arms and equipment for the insurgents in Afghanistan ... Separately , the Pakistani intelligence service was pressing us to provide military equipment to support an expanding insurgency . When Turner heard this , he urged the DO to get moving in providing more help to the insurgents . They responded with several enhancement options , including communications equipment for the insurgents via the Pakistanis or Saudis , funds for the Pakistanis to purchase lethal military equipment for the insurgents , and providing a like amount of lethal equipment ourselves for the Pakistanis to distribute to the insurgents . On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day , 1979 , the Soviets intervened massively in Afghanistan . A covert action that began six months earlier funded at just over half a million dollars would , within a year , grow to tens of millions , and most assuredly included the provision of weapons .

In April , he relates in his memoirs , ' I pushed a decision through the SCC to be more sympathetic to those Afghans who were determined to preserve their country 's independence . ( Walter ) Mondale was especially helpful in this , giving a forceful pep talk , mercilessly squelching the rather timid opposition of David Newsom . ' Brzezinski deliberately avoided saying whether the upgraded program included weapons , since Moscow has long sought to justify its invasion by accusing Washington of destabilizing Afghanistan during 1978 and 1979 . Strictly speaking , one of his aides later told me , it was not an American weapons program , but it was designed to help finance , orchestrate , and facilitate weapons purchases and related assistance by others .

Incidents of the mass killing of noncombatant civilians were observed in the summer of 1980 ... the Soviets felt it necessary to suppress defenseless civilians by killing them indiscriminately , by compelling them to flee abroad , and by destroying their crops and means of irrigation , the basis of their livelihood . The dropping of booby traps from the air , the planting of mines , and the use of chemical substances , though not on a wide scale , were also meant to serve the same purpose ... they undertook military operations in an effort to ensure speedy submission : hence the wide use of aerial weapons , in particular helicopter gunships or the kind of inaccurate weapons that can not discriminate between combatants and noncombatants .

While military operations in the country were going on , women were abducted . While flying in the country in search of mujahideen , helicopters would land in fields where women were spotted . While Afghan women do mainly domestic chores , they also work in fields assisting their husbands or performing tasks by themselves . The women were now exposed to the Russians , who kidnapped them with helicopters . By November 1980 a number of such incidents had taken place in various parts of the country , including Laghman and Kama . In the city of Kabul , too , the Russians kidnapped women , taking them away in tanks and other vehicles , especially after dark . Such incidents happened mainly in the areas of Darul Aman and Khair Khana , near the Soviet garrisons . At times such acts were committed even during the day . KhAD agents also did the same . Small groups of them would pick up young women in the streets , apparently to question them but in reality to satisfy their lust : in the name of security , they had the power to commit excesses . Jump up ^ The War Chronicles : From Flintlocks to Machine Guns . Fair Winds . p. 393 . ISBN 9781616734046 . A final weapon of terror the Soviets used against the mujahideen was the abduction of Afghan women . Soldiers flying in helicopters would scan for women working in the fields in the absence of their men , land , and take the women captive . Russian soldiers in the city of Kabul would also steal young women . The object was rape , although sometimes the women were killed , as well . The women who returned home were often considered dishonored for life . Jump up ^ Sciolino , Elaine ( August 3 , 1984 ) . `` 4 Soviet Deserters Tell Of Cruel Afghanistan War '' . The New York Times .

Jack McFarland - wikipedia Jack McFarland Jump to : navigation , search This article describes a work or element of fiction in a primarily in - universe style . Please help rewrite it to explain the fiction more clearly and provide non-fictional perspective . ( August 2011 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Jack McFarland Will & Grace character First appearance `` Pilot '' ( episode 1.01 ) Created by Max Mutchnick Portrayed by Sean Hayes Information Full name John Philip McFarland Nickname ( s ) Jackie ( by Karen ) Poodle , Just Jack , Jack 2000 , Judy , Mo , Dorothy , Mary , Jack McFairyland Gender Male Occupation Current Actor Acting coach and teacher Cater waiter Choreographer Dancer Singer Former Junior executive ( Out TV ; Seasons 7 -- 8 ) Sales clerk ( Barney 's New York ; Season 4 ) Family Joe Black ( biological father ; deceased ) Judith McFarland ( mother ) Daniel McFarland ( legal father / stepfather ) Skip ( grandson ) Spouse ( s ) Rosario Salazar ( ex-wife ; deceased ) Children Elliot ( son , with Bonnie via IVF ) John Philip `` Jack '' McFarland is a fictional character on the American television sitcom Will & Grace , played by Sean Hayes . Contents ( hide ) 1 Character overview 2 Character history 3 Relationships 3.1 Romantic relationships 3.2 Will 3.3 Karen 3.4 Grace 3.5 Elliot 4 Reception 5 References 6 External links Character overview ( edit ) Jack is Will Truman 's ( Eric McCormack ) best friend . A `` camp '' gay man , Jack has always had a passion for acting and the theatre , although virtually everyone he knows tells him he has no talent . Very mercurial , he changes careers rapidly from cater waiter , Banana Republic and Barneys New York sales clerk , to acting teacher , to student nurse , to surfer , to back - up dancer for Jennifer Lopez and Janet Jackson . Although he considers all his relationships serious , only one lasted longer than a few weeks ( with Stuart , a client of Will 's played by Dave Foley ) , and even that one ended with Jack 's cheating . Jack is unashamedly vain and self - absorbed , and adores all gay icons , particularly Cher , of whom he has a rare doll . ( He met her once , although he mistook her for a drag queen . He would also meet Cher in a dream where she appeared as God , complete with an entourage of `` dancing fairies '' ) . According to Will , he has the best gaydar in the tristate area . He is a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer , particularly lesbian character Willow Rosenberg . He also collects clippings of celebrities ' hair , including a complete collection from the four main actresses on The Golden Girls , as well as Broadway icons Bernadette Peters , Betty Buckley , Idina Menzel , and -- as of season seven -- Patti LuPone . Jack also stalks actor Kevin Bacon , briefly becoming the actor 's assistant . He believes in gay rights , but tends to lend his support to shallow causes , such as protesting NBC censoring a gay kiss on a television show ( `` What about our Constitutional right to see two hotties get it on ? '' ) . Nevertheless , his intentions are essentially good : For example , in one episode he uses all his nest - egg money to save a pair of gay penguins at the zoo in order to make Will happy . Character History ( edit ) Jack was born February 16 , 1969 , and was raised by his mother Judith ( Veronica Cartwright ) and stepfather Daniel ( Beau Bridges ) . He also had a babysitter named Sissy ( played in one episode by Demi Moore ) . His mother did not know he was gay , and his stepfather was not close to him . He claims to have come out as early as preschool . While he was in college , Jack befriended Will and helped him come to terms with his sexuality . They have been best friends ever since . Since the first season , Jack has established a close bond with alcoholic socialite Karen Walker ( Megan Mullally ) , who chooses to work merely as a source of distraction . Karen is his closest female friend , and they bond due to their shared narcissism and materialism . Jack also strikes up a friendship with Will 's other best friend Grace Adler ( Debra Messing ) , through association with Will and Karen . In the pilot episode , Jack is living with Will while his floors are re-done , but has to find somewhere else to live when Grace moves in . At the end of season one , Jack agrees to marry Karen 's maid Rosario ( Shelley Morrison ) in order to secure her green card . Jack lives with Karen for the entirety of season two , but after a year together , the marriage is annulled when Rosario wants to marry Karen 's gardener . Therefore , at the end of season two , Jack moves in with Will , but when Will takes Grace in after an attempted burglary at her apartment , Jack agrees to sublet Grace 's apartment -- although Will , Karen , and his mother pay the rent . ( In `` Moveable Feast Part 1 , '' it emerged that each of the three pays one half of the cost , meaning that Jack is actually collecting one and a half times the actual amount of his rent . ) In season three , Jack undertakes a search for his biological father , which ends when he discovers that his father died several years back . Jack does , however , meet Elliot ( Michael Angarano ) , his own biological son , whom he fathered by depositing at a sperm bank as a teenager so that he could buy a leather jacket . He later discovers that the boy 's mother Bonnie ( Rosie O'Donnell ) is a lesbian ; she was a nurse at the sperm bank who stole Jack 's deposit and was inseminated with it . Jack 's most consistent vocation results from his taking over the class of his acting teacher Zandra ( Eileen Brennan ) after she is fed up with his lack of talent . After taking everyone 's money and leaving , another student ( Stacy Keach ) takes over the class and begins teaching the `` McFarland method '' ( `` acting is attracting '' ) without Jack 's knowledge . He also trains to be a student nurse , but ultimately gives it up when , during Karen 's fourth wedding , he meets Jennifer Lopez and becomes her back - up dancer ( and , for a short time , Janet Jackson 's back - up dancer ) , a career that fizzles as well . In the seventh season , Jack embarks on a proper career as a producer for OutTV , a new gay television network . By season 's end , his profile rises to the point that he is given a talk show of his own to host . In season eight , Jack loses his job at the network after he speaks out against the new right - wing ownership of the show , which has given him a conservative co-host named Amber Louise ( Britney Spears ) . He has a hard time finding work , and out of desperation auditions for a minor role on a television show . Feeling depressed and rejected at the time , he displays real emotion instead of his usual over-dramatic acting style , and ends up getting the lead role of Chuck Rafferty , a straight , alcoholic , womanizing cop . In the series finale , Jack is forced into a relationship with Karen 's nemesis Beverley Leslie ( Leslie Jordan ) ; Karen , who has recently lost all of her money , demands that he take up with the obnoxious millionaire so he can inherit Leslie 's fortune and keep her in the lifestyle to which she is accustomed . When Beverley dies after being swept off his balcony by a gust of wind , Jack is left with his money , which he shares with Karen . A flash forward reveals that , 16 years later , Jack and Karen are still living together . When the series was revived in 2017 , however , the events of the finale were retconned . In the new continuity , Jack was never married to Beverly Leslie , is not rich , and is still pursuing an acting career while throwing himself at every available man in sight . Relationships ( edit ) Romantic relationships ( edit ) Jack is known for his several various flings throughout the show . Most of them are mentioned but not shown , and Jack never seems to take any of them seriously or settle down with anyone for very long . Jack 's longest relationship is with Stuart Lamarack ( Dave Foley ) , which lasts several months during the sixth season , until Stuart cheats on Jack . Will ( edit ) The episode `` Lows in the Mid-Eighties '' reveals that Jack met Will at a party in 1985 and realized immediately that he was gay . After Will comes out of the closet , he and Jack become best friends , with Jack helping Will navigate life as an openly gay man . While they care deeply for each other , however , Jack and Will fight and make fun of each other constantly . Jack often calls Will `` bald and fat '' ( which he clearly is n't ) , while Will makes fun of Jack 's promiscuity , shallowness , and perpetual unemployment . Nevertheless , Will pays virtually all of Jack 's bills , including half his rent ( with Karen and Jack 's mother also paying half each ) . Several episodes suggest that Jack has feelings for Will . In `` Lows in the Mid-Eighties , '' he confesses his love to Will , but tries to pass it off as a ' test of friendship ' when Will does n't feel the same . He has a similar reaction in an eighth - season episode when Will 's boyfriend James ( Taye Diggs ) accuses him of being jealous of their relationship . Karen ( edit ) Jack and Karen meet in the second episode of the first season , and become instant best friends . Karen calls Jack `` poodle '' and lavishes him with gifts and attention , while also paying half his rent . They also provide each other with emotional support ( in their own self - absorbed fashion ) , with Karen defending him from people who treat him unkindly and Jack giving her a shoulder to cry on when her marriage falls apart . In the series finale , Jack reluctantly moves in Karen 's nemesis Beverley Leslie in order to provide for a newly bankrupt Karen . After Beverley dies , Jack inherits his money , and he and Karen live together in luxury for the rest of their lives . Grace ( edit ) Jack and Grace initially dislike each other , seeing each other as competition for Will 's attention . Eventually , they bond over their shared love of ice skating . For the remainder of the series , they are good friends , although they make fun of each other constantly . Elliot ( edit ) In the third season , Jack finds out that he has a son , Elliot ( Michael Angarano ) , conceived through in vitro fertilization using sperm that Jack donated to a sperm bank years before . Jack initially has trouble adjusting to fatherhood , especially since Elliot 's mother Bonnie ( Rosie O'Donnell ) dislikes him . Eventually , however , Jack realizes that he loves Elliot and commits ( in his own way ) to being a good father . In the revived series , Jack and Elliot have been estranged for several years . Jack learns that Elliot has a son , Skip , who is gay . He is horrified to learn that Elliot and his wife are sending Skip to `` hetero camp '' , and follows the boy there to tell him that there is nothing wrong with him . Elliot realizes the error of his ways and invites Jack into his family . Reception ( edit ) The character has gained a mixed reception from critics for perpetuating gay stereotypes .

Moses Winters Lily Winters is a fictional character from the American CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless . Created by William J. Bell , the character appeared as a child for her first five - year period . In 2002 , Christel Khalil began portraying Lily as a teenager after the character rapidly aged . In 2005 , Khalil left the series , resulting in the character 's recasting with Davetta Sherwood ; however , Sherwood 's portrayal was brief when Khalil asked to return the following year . Khalil began playing the character as a `` rebellious , yet naive teenager '' , later becoming one of the soap opera 's heroines . Winters is the daughter of supermodel - turned - executive Drucilla Winters ( Victoria Rowell ) born in the midst of a questioned paternity storyline , with Neil Winters ( Kristoff St. John ) believing he was her father . Eleven years later , the storyline was readdressed with the revelation that Malcolm Winters ( Shemar Moore ) is her biological father . Lily later began a relationship with Daniel Romalotti ( Michael Graziadei ) , a romance inspired by Romeo and Juliet . The couple were popular with viewers , who were saddened at their separation ( because of Daniel 's addiction to pornography ) . Lily was later paired with leading character Cane Ashby ( Daniel Goddard ) , a romance that has attracted significant fan attention . In 2009 , the pair were married just before Lily was diagnosed with ovarian cancer , a storyline praised by viewers and critics . Lily and Cane had two children : Charlie and Mattie Ashby , born in 2010 . The following year the couple divorced ( after Cane faked his death and kept secrets from Lily ) , but reunited and were remarried in 2012 . Khalil has received critical acclaim for her portrayal , which has garnered her an NAACP Image and Daytime Emmy Award . Critics have described her as having evolved from a `` teen star '' into a `` leading lady '' . Contents ( hide ) 1 Casting 2 Development 2.1 Characterization 2.2 Relationships 2.3 Paternity and cancer 3 Storylines 4 Reception 5 References Casting ( edit ) Winters was first portrayed as a child by Vanessa Carson in 1996 , followed by Brooke Marie Bridges from 1998 to 2000 . In August 2002 Khalil was cast in the role as a teenager at age 14 . Lily was the first soap - opera role for which she auditioned . After screen tests with co-star Kristoff St. John and casting director Marnie Saitta , Khalil was given the part . In 2005 ( after portraying the character for three years ) Khalil left the series , citing stress as the reason for her departure . The producers tried unsuccessfully to convince Khalil to stay , and recast her role with Sherwood . Sherwood said that while the character Lily was the same , she and Khalil were not the same actress so it would be `` a little different '' . Although she replaced a popular actress , Sherwood said she felt no anxiety over the recasting because Khalil chose to leave the part . After leaving the series , Khalil and the producers began discussing her possible return . In 2006 she agreed to come back , and Sherwood was released from her contract . Former executive producer and head writer Lynn Marie Latham said she was happy with the casting change ; she was impressed by Khalil 's work , saying that she is a `` brilliant actress '' . Latham noted that Sherwood did a `` fine job '' as the character , but `` shows generally prefer to have original players back when they can get them '' . On her MySpace blog , Sherwood said she felt negativity from others on the set of the soap opera before her replacement ; she was not told the reason for her firing , which she thought neither right nor fair . Khalil stated in 2007 that her return was a difficult decision to make , but was `` the best decision ever '' . On August 21 , 2012 , The Young and the Restless put out a casting call for the role of `` Sally Tate '' , and the character description lead to speculation that it was a recast for Lily Winters and Khalil was exiting the soap . On August 22 , Khalil 's official website confirmed that she was leaving the show due to a contract dispute and her contract was set to expire in late - September . On August 23 , 2012 , Khalil gave an interview to MSN Entertainment in which she expressed her desire to remain on the show . Saying that she hoped she and the show could come to a mutual agreement but the show was n't interested in negotiating with her . Upon learning of her impending exit , fans of Khalil began a letter write - in , snail mail , e-mail and phone call campaign in support of her remaining on the show . Fan outcry lead the show to rethink recasting the role with newly appointed executive producer Jill Farren Phelps later saying that negotiations with Khalil had resumed and she `` did n't yet know '' how that would work out . On September 6 , 2012 a plane carrying a banner stating `` Y&R Fans Want Christel Khalil as Lily Ashby '' was flown over CBS Television City in support of Khalil . Fans did a similar campaign in spring 2011 when Khalil 's co-star Daniel Goddard was let go from the soap . In late September , newly appointed head writer Josh Griffith confirmed in an interview with TV Guide that contract negotiations had been resolved and Khalil would remain in the role . Development ( edit ) Characterization ( edit ) In 2002 , when Lily was rapidly aged to a teenager , the character was designed as an `` angst - ridden '' heroine who struggled with `` trauma '' ; she was also described as strong , rebellious , and sassy . Khalil said that Lily `` does n't take anybody 's crap '' and `` she 's her own person '' . Sherwood was said to have brought a `` fire '' to the role , and was told to use it only when necessary . She described Lily as `` a lot like her mother '' : `` It makes sense . She spent a lot of time with her mother growing up and she 's seen how her mother reacts to certain situations when there is a problem or a dilemma . '' When Khalil returned to the role she felt that Lily had changed `` a great deal '' since she last played her ; she was more immature and although it was more fun , it was `` definitely different '' . In 2009 , Soap Opera Digest said that Khalil and Lily had evolved from a `` teen star '' into a `` leading lady '' . Khalil described her happiness with her character 's evolution , with more adult storylines and having to `` deal with things like losing a baby or breaking off her engagement ( to Cane ) '' . During her marital problems with Cane , Khalil described Lily as a `` doormat '' and `` hopeless romantic '' , saying that her `` daddy issues '' were part of that . Relationships ( edit ) See also : Daniel and Lily Greg Rikaart portrays Kevin , formerly an internet predator who targets Lily and infects her with chlamydia . One of Lily 's first storylines centered around her manipulation by internet predator Kevin Fisher ( Greg Rikaart ) , who gives her the sexually - transmitted disease chlamydia . Khalil taped public service announcements related to the story , and considered the plot one of her favorites : `` How many soaps have really covered that ? The meeting on the Internet , getting an STD , it was really great stuff . '' Lily was next involved in a Romeo and Juliet - inspired romance ( attracting a significant fan following ) with Daniel Romalotti ( Michael Graziadei ) , Kevin 's friend . Lily was said to have brought out a new side to Daniel 's character , `` taming '' him . When Khalil left the show , former head writer John F. Smith promised the character 's recast would `` bring an entirely new level '' to Lily and Daniel 's romance . They fell in love and were married ; the pair 's popularity continued with Sherwood in the role . Sherwood gave Lily more feistiness , although the character was never written as timid . Sherwood 's interpretation drew comparisons to Lily 's mother , Drucilla ; that `` fire '' was brought into Daniel and Lily 's relationship . Sherwood said that `` Dru can be a little dramatic '' , and when Lily faces an issue with Daniel `` she 's not going to remain calm , she 's going to do what she saw her mother do '' . The actress praised the pair 's storyline for not focusing on the different races of the characters . Khalil was surprised by the advancement of Lily and Daniel 's storyline when she returned , particularly the characters ' marriage . The plot ended with a social issue : Daniel 's addiction to pornography . Graziadei said , `` My initial conflict was that Daniel has had so many problems with his wife that I could n't figure out why he 'd be doing this '' , and was concerned that Daniel might be seen as `` lecherous and creepy '' . The pair tried to work through Daniel 's addiction , but it ended their marriage . Daniel Goddard portrays Cane , Lily 's love interest and later husband . Their pairing has garnered significant fan attention . Lily was later written into a romance with Cane Ashby ( Daniel Goddard ) intertwined with a modeling career . The couple was designed as star - crossed true loves , and the relationship was said to add further growth to Lily 's character . Khalil said that Lily had been in `` kind of an immature relationship '' and she thought being with a `` real man '' would make Lily grow up and `` start thinking about her life and situation in a different way '' and `` would change Lily for the better '' . Goddard compared the romance to Lady Chatterley 's Lover , as both characters grew and learned from the relationship . Storylines for the lovers included the characters ' age gap , a miscarriage and a love rectangle with Chloe Mitchell ( Elizabeth Hendrickson ) and Billy Abbott ( Billy Miller ) . In the love - rectangle story , Chloe deceives Cane into thinking they conceived a child . Goddard said he liked the storyline because of its originality . Love triangles and questioned paternity occur frequently in soap operas , but he felt that Maria Arena Bell made the plots fresh . Khalil said that she `` loved '' the storyline and the actors in it ; she thought it `` was a possibility '' for Lily and Cane to have a happy ending , and Lily `` can see the hope , and they can adapt and love each other in a more mature and honest way '' . In 2009 , the pair were married . For their wedding , Lily wore the dress her mother Drucilla ( Victoria Rowell ) wore at her 1995 wedding to Neil . Rowell 's dress was altered , at Khalil 's request ; she said it was an `` old - fashioned , a typical ' 90s - style gown '' , and she `` did n't really like it '' . Khalil spoke with Bell and the head of the wardrobe department about updating the dress . Bell agreed ; there were `` little details '' about the original dress she wanted to keep , and it became `` a really beautiful dress '' . In 2010 , Global BC said Lily was the love of Cane 's life . The following year , she divorced him after his continued lies about his faked death . However , she eventually discovered that Cane was trying to protect her and they remarried . Khalil said that she never lost faith in the pair reuniting , since their romance is `` so popular '' : `` No matter what happens , they 'll always get through it . '' Goddard noted that their relationship `` had come full circle '' and `` was being done well '' . About Cane and Lily 's second wedding , Goddard said that Cane and Lily have `` certainly had a lot of ups and downs '' but he thought their fans `` stayed true and they have expressed their desire for what they want to see '' . He thought a wedding of `` this caliber '' would make their fans `` very , very happy and that is what this is about '' . Paternity and cancer ( edit ) Shemar Moore portrayed Lily 's biological father , Malcolm Winters . Lily was born into a paternity storyline , with brothers Neil or Malcolm Winters her father . Her mother , Drucilla , had been dating Neil but slept with Malcolm ( thinking he was Neil when she was groggy from medication ) . The storyline continued unresolved for several years , with Neil believing he was Lily 's father . In 2006 , former co-head writer Jack Smith decided to resolve Lily 's paternity by revealing that Malcolm was her father . About the storyline , Smith said : Well , if you think about it as a storyteller the potential for interesting drama is much more interesting if Malcolm is the biological father and not Neil . If Neil was the biological father , the whole sub textual romantic potential between Drucilla and Malcolm fades away . The relationship between Lily and Malcolm becomes your normal , traditional uncle / niece relationship . The relationship between Neil and Lily becomes your typical father / daughter relationship . But if Malcolm is the biological father then , wow ! You 've got the potential for years to come for fireworks . In 2009 , former head writer Maria Arena Bell developed a storyline about ovarian cancer for Lily . Bell said that the way Lily 's struggle was playing out `` is very much how it would play out in real life '' : `` There 's days where you feel exhausted and you feel powerless ... It helps that on our writing team , we have one writer who 's currently suffering from breast cancer , who put a lot of her own heart and soul into this story . I myself am a survivor ( of ) two different cancers . '' Khalil filmed a public - service announcement for CBS Cares about ovarian cancer and those affected by the disease . Lily shaves her head , requiring Khalil to wear hats , scarves , a bald cap and wigs . The wigs were shorter than the actress ' real hair because the writers wanted to make sure the audience knew they were wigs . In 2010 Lily went into remission , and has since been cancer - free . Storylines ( edit ) In 2002 , Lily is a rebellious teenager . After living in Paris , her mother Drucilla ( Victoria Rowell ) moves her back to the United States after she sprayed graffiti in the city . Drucilla hopes that Lily 's father , Neil ( Kristoff St. John ) , will reason with her ; however , they end up helping him deal with his alcoholism . Lily 's parents reunite and plan to remarry -- to her dismay , since she wanted her mother to be with Wesley Carter ( Ben Watkins ) . Lily comes to terms with their relationship , becoming friends with Colleen Carlton ( Lyndsy Fonseca ) . In 2004 , Lily is victimized by Internet predator Kevin Fisher ( Greg Rikaart ) , who rapes her and gives her a sexually - transmitted disease . She forgives him after he saves her from another predator who is trying to rape her , but the situation was staged by Daniel Romalotti ( Michael Grazaidei ) to make Kevin look like a hero . Lily and Daniel begin dating , to their parents ' dismay . In 2006 , they marry , and soon afterwards Lily discovers her biological father is her uncle Malcolm ( Shemar Moore ) ; this strains her relationship with her mother . They reconcile before Drucilla is presumed dead after falling off a cliff during an argument with Daniel 's mother , Phyllis Summers ( Michelle Stafford ) . Lily discovers that Daniel has been hiding a pornography addiction which , despite counseling , ends their marriage . Lily is then attracted to Cane Ashby ( Daniel Goddard ) , but they hesitate to begin a relationship because of their age difference . They eventually begin dating , despite disapproval from Neil . Chloe Mitchell ( Elizabeth Hendrickson ) deceives Cane into believing he fathered her child ; however , the child 's biological father is Billy Abbott ( Billy Miller ) . Cane 's relationship with Lily is interrupted , but they become engaged when the truth about the child 's paternity is revealed , and marry in February 2009 . They briefly separate when Cane 's true identity is revealed , but are reunited when Lily is diagnosed with ovarian cancer ( and mourns the death of her best friend , Colleen ) . During her hysterectomy , two of her eggs are preserved ; Cane and Lily want to have children , using Mackenzie Browning ( Clementine Ford ) as their surrogate mother . She gives birth to twins , Charlie and Mattie Ashby , in June 2010 . Soon afterwards , Lily goes into remission ; an Australian ( Blake Joseph ) arrives in Genoa City and blackmails Cane , followed by his father Colin Atkinson ( Tristan Rogers ) in December 2010 . Colin is later engaged to Jill Abbott ( Jess Walton ) , and Cane is shot to death by Blake as he tries to stop their wedding . After Cane 's death , Lily sees hallucinations of him in the afterlife , leading her family to suggest therapy . After her `` hallucination '' leaves footprints in the snow , Lily realizes that Cane is alive , having faked his death ; his twin brother , Caleb , was the one who died . Lily feels betrayed and decides to divorce Cane , but later realizes that the story surrounding his faked death was to protect her . They decide to remarry in February 2012 and work at Jabot Cosmetics , where Lily develops an attraction to Tyler Michaelson ( Redaric Williams ) which makes Cane jealous . Lily and Tyler share a kiss , but she turns him down and returns to Cane . Afterward , Cane hires an assistant at Chancellor Industries , Hilary Curtis ( Mishael Morgan ) , whom Jill and then Lily become suspicious of . Meanwhile , an unknown blogger is targeting the Winters family online , with photos of Hilary kissing Cane as well as the two of them in a hotel room . After a private investigation , the Winters figure out Hilary is the blogger ( because she blames Neil for her mother 's death years prior ) just as Hilary attempts to drug Cane . She is fired from Chancellor Industries and shunned by the family . After repairing their marriage , Cane and Lily agree to become the new managers of the Genoa City Athletic Club after her brother Devon Hamilton ( Bryton James ) buys it . Reception ( edit ) `` Few people could have played the emotionally pummeled Lily as well as Christel Khalil . Physically , the young actress has an ethereal kind of beauty that works well in scenes of crisis ... Yet Khalil has more to offer than her fragile appearance ; there is an inner fire in her big , dark eyes that suggests she is no pushover , either . '' -- CBS Soaps In Depth on Khalil 's portrayal during Lily 's loss of her mother ( 2007 ) Khalil as Winters has grown in popularity among viewers , who voted her onto `` Top Actress '' lists in publications such as Soap Opera Digest , Soaps In Depth and Soap Opera Update . Critics have also praised Khalil for her portrayal ; Soap Opera Digest named her performer of the week during Lily 's internet - predator storyline , citing the subtlety of her performance . Mark McGarry of Soap Opera Weekly named the actress outstanding performer of the week on February 28 , 2005 , praising Khalil 's `` remarkable range '' . CBS Soaps In Depth said Sherwood `` got off to a slow start '' , but praised her work during the revelation that Lily 's husband Daniel was responsible for her attempted rape by Alex . Khalil 's return in 2006 was greeted positively by viewers . Lily 's cancer storyline was praised by critics and viewers . Janet Di Lauro of Soap Opera Weekly praised the storyline for highlighting Neil and Lily 's relationship , saying that they `` are one of the most effective and heartfelt father - daughter combos in daytime . Kristoff St. John and Christel Khalil share a chemistry that lets the viewers feel Neil 's pain when Lily is hurting , and relate to his anger when she has been wronged . '' Di Lauro criticized the writers for placing a young character such as Lily into so many traumatic stories , including the cancer and hysterectomy . Soap Opera Digest made the cancer story its editor 's choice ; Di Lauro praised Khalil for her performance during the death of Lily 's best friend Colleen Carlton ( Tammin Sursok ) , calling Lily and Colleen 's final scenes `` a bona - fide tearjerker '' and `` one of the most touching scenes to air '' during Colleen 's death : `` Lily could have easily fallen apart and chastised Colleen for leaving her during her house of need . Instead , she held her head high and gave Colleen a proper sendoff ... It was as if Lily was gathering strength from Colleen , even as Colleen let go . '' Lily 's relationships with Daniel and Cane were listed among Soaps In Depth 's 100 Greatest Soap Opera Couples . The Daniel - and - Lily storyline attracted viewer support for both Khalil and Sherwood , and the magazine called the scene when Daniel and Lily make love after his acquittal for the death of Cassie Newman ( Camryn Grimes ) one of the top three moments of 2005 . Roscoe Born , who played Tom Fisher , praised their storyline : `` It really brought the two families into so much conflict , and I thought they were very believable as young lovers . They were very passionate , and at the same time , really evoked that feeling of first love . '' When Lily and Daniel 's marriage ended , fans of the couple were saddened . Lily 's romance with Cane first received a mixed response ; viewers were divided on the couple because of the age difference between the characters . Khalil said that she was sure there were going to be people `` who will always feel '' that Cane is too old for Lily , but there are others `` who just do n't care about the age difference '' : `` You ca n't please everyone . You just have to do your best with the storyline and hope that people will like it . '' Soap Opera Digest gave the couple a thumbs - up : `` On paper , a Cane - and - Lily pairing should n't work . They 've both just left marriages ( to Amber and Daniel , though Cane 's was n't legal ) , their exes are living together , and Cane is older than Lily . Yet , the adorable Aussie and the cute coed make a charming match . '' The magazine praised the couple because they united the core families , the Winters and the Chancellors . Soap Opera Weekly considered their Valentine 's Day surprise in 2008 `` a hit '' . Michael Fairman of On - Air On - Soaps called Cane and Lily `` one of daytime 's most popular couples '' , and their story with Billy and Chloe `` one of soaps all - time best quadrangle story arcs '' . Mallory Harlen of Soap Opera Digest praised the quadrangle for adding another layer to Lily : `` The always prim , always perfect Lily reminded me way too much of Christine Blair ... in a bad way . But being a woman scorned really worked for her ; her newfound feistiness is completely fitting for Drucilla 's daughter . '' Nelson Branco of TV Guide Canada criticized the couple ; he thought they had no chemistry and wanted Cane `` in the big leagues and not with little girls '' , but conceded that they had `` a very vocal , and loyal fanbase '' . Soap Opera Update named Cane and Lily the best couple on The Young and the Restless in 2008 , and viewers voted them into top - couple polls in soap - opera magazines . Khalil received two nominations for Outstanding Younger Actress at the 2004 and 2006 Daytime Emmy Awards , and two Young Artist Award nominations for Leading Young Actress in 2003 and 2004 . Khalil and Sherwood received NAACP Award nominations for Lead Actress in a Daytime Drama Series in 2007 . The following year , Khalil won the award , receiving another nomination in 2009 . She earned a third Daytime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Younger Actress in 2010 , for the episode when Lily learns she has cancer . In 2012 Khalil received another NAACP Award nomination , winning her first Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series in the role after four nominations .

[ "Winters is the daughter of supermodel-turned-executive Drucilla Winters (Victoria Rowell) born in the midst of a questioned paternity storyline, with Neil Winters (Kristoff St. John) believing he was her father. Eleven years later, the storyline was readdressed with the revelation that Malcolm Winters (Shemar Moore) is her biological father. Lily later began a relationship with Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei), a romance inspired by Romeo and Juliet. The couple were popular with viewers, who were saddened at their separation (because of Daniel's addiction to pornography)." ]

Bank of America is the second largest banking institution in the United States , after JP Morgan Chase . As a part of the Big Four , it services approximately 10.73 % of all American bank deposits , in direct competition with Citigroup , Wells Fargo , and JPMorgan Chase . Its primary financial services revolve around commercial banking , wealth management , and investment banking . Founded as the Bank of Italy by Amadeo Pietro Giannini in 1904 , it provided Italian immigrants who faced service discrimination various banking options . Originally headquartered in San Francisco , California , Giannini renamed his bank Banca d'America e d'Italia ( Bank of America and Italy ) in 1922 , and expanded further into California . The passage of landmark federal banking legislation facilitated rapid growth in the 1950s , quickly establishing a prominent market share . After suffering a significant loss after the 1998 Russian bond default , BankAmerica , as it was then known , was acquired by the Charlotte - based NationsBank for US $ 62 billion . Following what was then the largest bank acquisition in history , the Bank of American Corporation was founded . Through a series of mergers and acquisitions , it built upon its commercial banking business by establishing Merrill Lynch for wealth management and Bank of America Merrill Lynch for investment banking in 2008 and 2009 , respectively . Since both divisions carry the `` Merrill Lynch '' signage , the former is often referred to as `` Merrill Lynch Wealth Management '' to differentiate itself from the latter . Both Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Merrill Lynch Wealth Management retain large market shares in their respective offerings . The investment bank is considered within the `` Bulge Bracket '' as the third largest investment bank in the world , as of 2018 . Its wealth management side manages US $ 1.081 trillion in assets under management ( AUM ) as the second largest wealth manager in the world , after UBS . In commercial banking , Bank of America operates -- but does not necessarily maintain retail branches -- in all 50 states of the United States , the District of Columbia and more than 40 other countries . Its commercial banking footprint encapsulates 46 million consumer and small business relationships at 4,600 banking centers and 15,900 automated teller machines ( ATMs ) . The bank 's large market share , business activities , and economic impact has led to numerous lawsuits and investigations regarding both mortgages and financial disclosures dating back to the 2008 financial crisis . Its corporate practices of servicing the middle class and wider banking community has yielded a substantial market share since the early 20th century . As of August 2018 , Bank of America has a $313.5 billion market capitalization , making it the 13th largest company in the world . As the sixth largest American public company , it garnered $102.98 billion in sales as of June 2018 . Bank of America was named the `` World 's Best Bank '' by the Euromoney Institutional Investor in their 2018 Awards for Excellence .

The Bank of Italy served the needs of many immigrants settling in the United States at that time , providing services denied to them by the existing American banks which typically discriminated against them and often denied service to all but the wealthiest . Giannini was raised by his mother and stepfather Lorenzo Scatena , as his father was fatally shot over a pay dispute with an employee . When the 1906 San Francisco earthquake struck , Giannini was able to save all deposits out of the bank building and away from the fires . Because San Francisco 's banks were in smoldering ruins and unable to open their vaults , Giannini was able to use the rescued funds to commence lending within a few days of the disaster . From a makeshift desk consisting of a few planks over two barrels , he lent money to those who wished to rebuild . In 1922 , Giannini established Bank of America and Italy . In 1986 , Deutsche Bank AG acquired 100 % of Banca d'America e d'Italia , a bank established in Naples in 1917 following the name - change of Banca dell'Italia Meridionale with the latter established in 1918 . In 1918 another corporation , Bancitaly Corporation , was organized by A.P. Giannini , the largest stockholder of which was Stockholders Auxiliary Corporation . This company acquired the stocks of various banks located in New York City and certain foreign countries . In 1918 , the Bank opened a Delegation in New York in order to follow American political , economic and financial affairs more closely ; together with the London Delegation , this was the first permanent overseas office opened by the Bank , at a time when the foundations were being laid for the restructuring of the international money market . In 1928 , Giannini merged his bank with Bank of America , Los Angeles , headed by Orra E. Monnette and consolidated it with other bank holdings to create what would become the largest banking institution in the country . Bank of Italy was renamed on November 3 , 1930 , to Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association , which was the only such designated bank in the United States of America at that time . Giannini and Monnette headed the resulting company , serving as co-chairs . Expansion in California ( edit ) Branch banking was introduced by Giannini shortly after 1909 legislation in California that allowed for branch banking in the state . Its first branch outside San Francisco was established in 1909 in San Jose . By 1929 , the bank had 453 banking offices in California with aggregate resources of over US $1.4 billion . There is a replica of the 1909 Bank of Italy branch bank in History Park in San Jose , and the 1925 Bank of Italy Building is an important downtown landmark . Giannini sought to build a national bank , expanding into most of the western states as well as into the insurance industry , under the aegis of his holding company , Transamerica Corporation . In 1953 , regulators succeeded in forcing the separation of Transamerica Corporation and Bank of America under the Clayton Antitrust Act . The passage of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 prohibited banks from owning non-banking subsidiaries such as insurance companies . Bank of America and Transamerica were separated , with the latter company continuing in the insurance business . However , federal banking regulators prohibited Bank of America 's interstate banking activity , and Bank of America 's domestic banks outside California were forced into a separate company that eventually became First Interstate Bancorp , later acquired by Wells Fargo and Company in 1996 . It was not until the 1980s , with a change in federal banking legislation and regulation , that Bank of America was again able to expand its domestic consumer banking activity outside California . New technologies also allowed credit cards to be linked directly to individual bank accounts . In 1958 , the bank introduced the BankAmericard , which changed its name to Visa in 1977 . A consortium of other California banks introduced Master Charge ( now MasterCard ) to compete with BankAmericard . Expansion outside California ( edit ) Following the passage of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 , BankAmerica Corporation was established for the purpose of owning and operation of Bank of America and its subsidiaries . Bank of America expanded outside California in 1983 , with its acquisition , orchestrated in part by Stephen McLin , of Seafirst Corporation of Seattle , Washington , and its wholly owned banking subsidiary , Seattle - First National Bank . Seafirst was at risk of seizure by the federal government after becoming insolvent due to a series of bad loans to the oil industry . BankAmerica continued to operate its new subsidiary as Seafirst rather than Bank of America until the 1998 merger with NationsBank . BankAmerica experienced huge losses in 1986 and 1987 by the placement of a series of bad loans in the Third World , particularly in Latin America . The company fired its CEO , Sam Armacost . Though Armacost blamed the problems on his predecessor , A.W. ( Tom ) Clausen , Clausen was appointed to replace Armacost . The losses resulted in a huge decline of BankAmerica stock , making it vulnerable to a hostile takeover . First Interstate Bancorp of Los Angeles ( which had originated from banks once owned by BankAmerica ) , launched such a bid in the fall of 1986 , although BankAmerica rebuffed it , mostly by selling operations . It sold its FinanceAmerica subsidiary to Chrysler and the brokerage firm Charles Schwab and Co. back to Mr. Schwab . It also sold Bank of America and Italy to Deutsche Bank . By the time of the 1987 stock market crash , BankAmerica 's share price had fallen to $8 , but by 1992 it had rebounded mightily to become one of the biggest gainers of that half - decade . The Bank of America Tower in New York City . BankAmerica 's next big acquisition came in 1992 . The company acquired its California rival , Security Pacific Corporation and its subsidiary Security Pacific National Bank in California and other banks in Arizona , Idaho , Oregon , and Washington ( which Security Pacific had acquired in a series of acquisitions in the late 1980s ) . This was , at the time , the largest bank acquisition in history . Federal regulators , however , forced the sale of roughly half of Security Pacific 's Washington subsidiary , the former Rainier Bank , as the combination of Seafirst and Security Pacific Washington would have given BankAmerica too large a share of the market in that state . The Washington branches were divided and sold to West One Bancorp ( now U.S. Bancorp ) and KeyBank . Later that year , BankAmerica expanded into Nevada by acquiring Valley Bank of Nevada . In 1994 , BankAmerica acquired the Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Co. of Chicago , which had become federally owned as part of the same oil industry debacle emanating from Oklahoma City 's Penn Square Bank , that had brought down numerous financial institutions including Seafirst . At the time , no bank possessed the resources to bail out Continental , so the federal government operated the bank for nearly a decade . Illinois at that time regulated branch banking extremely heavily , so Bank of America Illinois was a single - unit bank until the 21st century . BankAmerica moved its national lending department to Chicago in an effort to establish a financial beachhead in the region . Pyramid - shaped former Bank of America branch building towers over Interstate 410 in San Antonio , Texas . These mergers helped BankAmerica Corporation to once again become the largest U.S. bank holding company in terms of deposits , but the company fell to second place in 1997 behind North Carolina 's fast - growing NationsBank Corporation , and to third in 1998 First Union Corp . On the capital markets side , the acquisition of Continental Illinois helped BankAmerica to build a leveraged finance origination and distribution business ( Continental Illinois had extensive leveraged lending relationships ) which allowed the firm 's existing broker - dealer , BancAmerica Securities ( originally named BA Securities ) , to become a full - service franchise . In addition , in 1997 , BankAmerica acquired Robertson Stephens , a San Francisco -- based investment bank specializing in high technology for $540 million . Robertson Stephens was integrated into BancAmerica Securities and the combined subsidiary was renamed BancAmerica Robertson Stephens . Merger of NationsBank and BankAmerica ( edit ) Logo of the former Bank of America ( BA ) , 1969 -- 1998 In 1997 , Bank of America lent D.E. Shaw & Co. , a large hedge fund , $1.4 billion in order to run various businesses for the bank . However , D.E. Shaw suffered significant loss after the 1998 Russia bond default . NationsBank of Charlotte acquired BankAmerica in October 1998 in what was the largest bank acquisition in history at that time . While NationsBank was the nominal survivor , the merged bank took the better - known name of Bank of America . Hence , the holding company was renamed Bank of America Corporation , while NationsBank , N.A. merged with Bank of America NT&SA to form Bank of America , N.A. as the remaining legal bank entity . The combined bank operates under Federal Charter 13044 , which was granted to Giannini 's Bank of Italy on March 1 , 1927 . However , the merged company was and still is headquartered in Charlotte , and retains NationsBank 's pre-1998 stock price history . Additionally , all U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ) filings before 1998 are listed under NationsBank , not Bank of America . NationsBank president , chairman and CEO Hugh McColl , took on the same roles with the merged company . Bank of America possessed combined assets of $570 billion , as well as 4,800 branches in 22 states . Despite the mammoth size of the two companies , federal regulators insisted only upon the divestiture of 13 branches in New Mexico , in towns that would be left with only a single bank following the combination . ( Branch divestitures are only required if the combined company will have a larger than 25 % Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ( FDIC ) deposit market share in a particular state or 10 % deposit market share overall . ) In addition , the combined broker - dealer , created from the integration of BancAmerica Robertson Stephens and NationsBanc Montgomery Securities , was named Banc of America Securities in 1998 . 2001 to present ( edit ) Typical Bank of America local office in Los Angeles In 2001 , McColl stepped down and named Ken Lewis as his successor . In 2004 , Bank of America announced it would purchase Boston - based bank FleetBoston Financial for $47 billion in cash and stock . By merging with Bank of America , all of its banks and branches were given the Bank of America logo . At the time of merger , FleetBoston was the seventh largest bank in United States with $197 billion in assets , over 20 million customers and revenue of $12 billion . Hundreds of FleetBoston workers lost their jobs or were demoted , according to The Boston Globe . On June 30 , 2005 , Bank of America announced it would purchase credit card giant MBNA for $35 billion in cash and stock . The Federal Reserve Board gave final approval to the merger on December 15 , 2005 , and the merger closed on January 1 , 2006 . The acquisition of MBNA provided Bank of America a leading domestic and foreign credit card issuer . The combined Bank of America Card Services organization , including the former MBNA , had more than 40 million U.S. accounts and nearly $140 billion in outstanding balances . Under Bank of America the operation was renamed FIA Card Services . Bank of America footprint Bank of America operated under the name BankBoston in many other Latin American countries , including Brazil . In 2006 , Bank of America sold BankBoston 's operations to Brazilian bank Banco Itaú , in exchange for Itaú shares . The BankBoston name and trademarks were not part of the transaction and , as part of the sale agreement , can not be used by Bank of America ( ending the BankBoston brand ) . In May 2006 , Bank of America and Banco Itaú ( Investimentos Itaú S.A. ) entered into an acquisition agreement through which Itaú agreed to acquire BankBoston 's operations in Brazil and was granted an exclusive right to purchase Bank of America 's operations in Chile and Uruguay . The deal was signed in August 2006 under which Itaú agreed to purchase Bank of America 's operations in Chile and Uruguay . Prior to the transaction , BankBoston 's Brazilian operations included asset management , private banking , a credit card portfolio , and small , middle - market , and large corporate segments . It had 66 branches and 203,000 clients in Brazil . BankBoston in Chile had 44 branches and 58,000 clients and in Uruguay it had 15 branches . In addition , there was a credit card company , OCA , in Uruguay , which had 23 branches . BankBoston N.A. in Uruguay , together with OCA , jointly served 372,000 clients . While the BankBoston name and trademarks were not part of the transaction , as part of the sale agreement , they can not be used by Bank of America in Brazil , Chile or Uruguay following the transactions . Hence , the BankBoston name has disappeared from Brazil , Chile and Uruguay . The Itaú stock received by Bank of America in the transactions has allowed Bank of America 's stake in Itaú to reach 11.51 % . Banco de Boston de Brazil had been founded in 1947 . On November 20 , 2006 , Bank of America announced the purchase of The United States Trust Company for $3.3 billion , from the Charles Schwab Corporation . US Trust had about $100 billion of assets under management and over 150 years of experience . The deal closed July 1 , 2007 . On September 14 , 2007 , Bank of America won approval from the Federal Reserve to acquire LaSalle Bank Corporation from ABN AMRO for $21 billion . With this purchase , Bank of America possessed $1.7 trillion in assets . A Dutch court blocked the sale until it was later approved in July . The acquisition was completed on October 1 , 2007 . Many of LaSalle 's branches and offices had already taken over smaller regional banks within the previous decade , such as Lansing and Detroit based Michigan National Bank . The deal increased Bank of America 's presence in Illinois , Michigan , and Indiana by 411 branches , 17,000 commercial bank clients , 1.4 million retail customers , and 1,500 ATMs . Bank of America became the largest bank in the Chicago market with 197 offices and 14 % of the deposit share , surpassing JPMorgan Chase . LaSalle Bank and LaSalle Bank Midwest branches adopted the Bank of America name on May 5 , 2008 . Ken Lewis , who had lost the title of Chairman of the Board , announced that he would retire as CEO effective December 31 , 2009 , in part due to controversy and legal investigations concerning the purchase of Merrill Lynch . Brian Moynihan became President and CEO effective January 1 , 2010 , and afterward credit card charge offs and delinquencies declined in January . Bank of America also repaid the $45 billion it had received from the Troubled Assets Relief Program . Acquisition of Countrywide financial ( edit ) On August 23 , 2007 , the company announced a $2 billion repurchase agreement for Countrywide Financial . This purchase of preferred stock was arranged to provide a return on investment of 7.25 % per annum and provided the option to purchase common stock at a price of $18 per share . On January 11 , 2008 , Bank of America announced that it would buy Countrywide Financial for $4.1 billion . In March 2008 , it was reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ) was investigating Countrywide for possible fraud relating to home loans and mortgages . This news did not hinder the acquisition , which was completed in July 2008 , giving the bank a substantial market share of the mortgage business , and access to Countrywide 's resources for servicing mortgages . The acquisition was seen as preventing a potential bankruptcy for Countrywide . Countrywide , however , denied that it was close to bankruptcy . Countrywide provided mortgage servicing for nine million mortgages valued at $1.4 trillion as of December 31 , 2007 . This purchase made Bank of America Corporation the leading mortgage originator and servicer in the U.S. , controlling 20 -- 25 % of the home loan market . The deal was structured to merge Countrywide with the Red Oak Merger Corporation , which Bank of America created as an independent subsidiary . It has been suggested that the deal was structured this way to prevent a potential bankruptcy stemming from large losses in Countrywide hurting the parent organization by keeping Countrywide bankruptcy remote . Countrywide Financial has changed its name to Bank of America Home Loans . Chart showing the trajectory of BOA share value and transaction volume during the 2007 -- 2009 Financial Crisis In December 2011 , the Justice Department announced a $335 million settlement with Bank of America over discriminatory lending practice at Countrywide Financial . Attorney General Eric Holder said a federal probe found discrimination against qualified African - American and Latino borrowers from 2004 to 2008 . He said that minority borrowers who qualified for prime loans were steered into higher - interest - rate subprime loans . Acquisition of Merrill Lynch ( edit ) On September 14 , 2008 , Bank of America announced its intention to purchase Merrill Lynch & Co. , Inc. in an all - stock deal worth approximately $50 billion . Merrill Lynch was at the time within days of collapse , and the acquisition effectively saved Merrill from bankruptcy . Around the same time Bank of America was reportedly also in talks to purchase Lehman Brothers , however a lack of government guarantees caused the bank to abandon talks with Lehman . Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy the same day Bank of America announced its plans to acquire Merrill Lynch . This acquisition made Bank of America the largest financial services company in the world . Temasek Holdings , the largest shareholder of Merrill Lynch & Co. , Inc. , briefly became one of the largest shareholders of Bank of America , with a 3 % stake . However , taking a loss Reuters estimated at $3 billion , the Singapore sovereign wealth fund sold its whole stake in Bank of America in the first quarter of 2009 . Shareholders of both companies approved the acquisition on December 5 , 2008 , and the deal closed January 1 , 2009 . Bank of America had planned to retain various members of the then Merrill Lynch 's CEO , John Thain 's management team after the merger . However , after Thain was removed from his position , most of his allies left . The departure of Nelson Chai , who had been named Asia - Pacific president , left just one of Thain 's hires in place : Tom Montag , head of sales and trading . The bank , in its January 16 , 2009 earnings release , revealed massive losses at Merrill Lynch in the fourth quarter , which necessitated an infusion of money that had previously been negotiated with the government as part of the government - persuaded deal for the bank to acquire Merrill . Merrill recorded an operating loss of $21.5 billion in the quarter , mainly in its sales and trading operations , led by Tom Montag . The bank also disclosed it tried to abandon the deal in December after the extent of Merrill 's trading losses surfaced , but was compelled to complete the merger by the U.S. government . The bank 's stock price sank to $7.18 , its lowest level in 17 years , after announcing earnings and the Merrill mishap . The market capitalization of Bank of America , including Merrill Lynch , was then $45 billion , less than the $50 billion it offered for Merrill just four months earlier , and down $108 billion from the merger announcement . Bank of America CEO Kenneth Lewis testified before Congress that he had some misgivings about the acquisition of Merrill Lynch , and that federal officials pressured him to proceed with the deal or face losing his job and endangering the bank 's relationship with federal regulators . Lewis ' statement is backed up by internal emails subpoenaed by Republican lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee . In one of the emails , Richmond Federal Reserve President Jeffrey Lacker threatened that if the acquisition did not go through , and later Bank of America were forced to request federal assistance , the management of Bank of America would be `` gone '' . Other emails , read by Congressman Dennis Kucinich during the course of Lewis ' testimony , state that Mr. Lewis had foreseen the outrage from his shareholders that the purchase of Merrill would cause , and asked government regulators to issue a letter stating that the government had ordered him to complete the deal to acquire Merrill . Lewis , for his part , states he did n't recall requesting such a letter . The acquisition made Bank of America the number one underwriter of global high - yield debt , the third largest underwriter of global equity and the ninth largest adviser on global mergers and acquisitions . As the credit crisis eased , losses at Merrill Lynch subsided , and the subsidiary generated $3.7 billion of Bank of America 's $4.2 billion in profit by the end of quarter one in 2009 , and over 25 % in quarter 3 2009 . On September 28 , 2012 , Bank of America settled the class action lawsuit over the Merrill Lynch acquisition and will pay $2.43 billion . This was one of the first major securities class action lawsuits stemming from the financial crisis of 2007 -- 2008 to settle . Many major financial institutions had a stake in this lawsuit , including Chicago Clearing Corporation , hedge funds , and bank trusts , due to the belief that Bank of America stock was a sure investment . Federal Troubled Asset relief program ( edit ) Bank of America received $20 billion in the federal bailout from the U.S. government through the Troubled Asset Relief Program ( TARP ) on January 16 , 2009 , and a guarantee of $118 billion in potential losses at the company . This was in addition to the $25 billion given to them in the fall of 2008 through TARP . The additional payment was part of a deal with the U.S. government to preserve Bank of America 's merger with the troubled investment firm Merrill Lynch . Since then , members of the U.S. Congress have expressed considerable concern about how this money has been spent , especially since some of the recipients have been accused of misusing the bailout money . Then CEO Ken Lewis was quoted as claiming `` We are still lending , and we are lending far more because of the TARP program . '' Members of the U.S. House of Representatives , however , were skeptical and quoted many anecdotes about loan applicants ( particularly small business owners ) being denied loans and credit card holders facing stiffer terms on the debt in their card accounts . According to a March 15 , 2009 , article in The New York Times , Bank of America received an additional $5.2 billion in government bailout money , channeled through American International Group . As a result of its federal bailout and management problems , The Wall Street Journal reported that the Bank of America was operating under a secret `` memorandum of understanding '' ( MOU ) from the U.S. government that requires it to `` overhaul its board and address perceived problems with risk and liquidity management '' . With the federal action , the institution has taken several steps , including arranging for six of its directors to resign and forming a Regulatory Impact Office . Bank of America faces several deadlines in July and August and if not met , could face harsher penalties by federal regulators . Bank of America did not respond to The Wall Street Journal story . On December 2 , 2009 , Bank of America announced it would repay the entire $45 billion it received in TARP and exit the program , using $26.2 billion of excess liquidity along with $18.6 billion to be gained in `` common equivalent securities '' ( Tier 1 capital ) . The bank announced it had completed the repayment on December 9 . Bank of America 's Ken Lewis said during the announcement , `` We appreciate the critical role that the U.S. government played last fall in helping to stabilize financial markets , and we are pleased to be able to fully repay the investment , with interest ... As America 's largest bank , we have a responsibility to make good on the taxpayers ' investment , and our record shows that we have been able to fulfill that commitment while continuing to lend . '' Bonus settlement ( edit ) On August 3 , 2009 , Bank of America agreed to pay a $33 million fine , without admission or denial of charges , to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ) over the non-disclosure of an agreement to pay up to $5.8 billion of bonuses at Merrill . The bank approved the bonuses before the merger but did not disclose them to its shareholders when the shareholders were considering approving the Merrill acquisition , in December 2008 . The issue was originally investigated by New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo , who commented after the suit and announced settlement that `` the timing of the bonuses , as well as the disclosures relating to them , constituted a ' surprising fit of corporate irresponsibility ' '' and `` our investigation of these and other matters pursuant to New York 's Martin Act will continue . '' Congressman Kucinich commented at the same time that `` This may not be the last fine that Bank of America pays for how it handled its merger of Merrill Lynch . '' A federal judge , Jed Rakoff , in an unusual action , refused to approve the settlement on August 5 . A first hearing before the judge on August 10 was at times heated , and he was `` sharply critic ( al ) '' of the bonuses . David Rosenfeld represented the SEC , and Lewis J. Liman , son of Arthur L. Liman , represented the bank . The actual amount of bonuses paid was $3.6 billion , of which $850 million was `` guaranteed '' and the rest was shared amongst 39,000 workers who received average payments of $91,000 ; 696 people received more than $1 million in bonuses ; at least one person received a more than $33 million bonus . On September 14 , the judge rejected the settlement and told the parties to prepare for trial to begin no later than February 1 , 2010 . The judge focused much of his criticism on the fact that the fine in the case would be paid by the bank 's shareholders , who were the ones that were supposed to have been injured by the lack of disclosure . He wrote , `` It is quite something else for the very management that is accused of having lied to its shareholders to determine how much of those victims ' money should be used to make the case against the management go away , '' ... `` The proposed settlement , '' the judge continued , `` suggests a rather cynical relationship between the parties : the S.E.C. gets to claim that it is exposing wrongdoing on the part of the Bank of America in a high - profile merger ; the bank 's management gets to claim that they have been coerced into an onerous settlement by overzealous regulators . And all this is done at the expense , not only of the shareholders , but also of the truth . '' While ultimately deferring to the SEC , in February 2010 , Judge Rakoff approved a revised settlement with a $150 million fine `` reluctantly '' , calling the accord `` half - baked justice at best '' and `` inadequate and misguided '' . Addressing one of the concerns he raised in September , the fine will be `` distributed only to Bank of America shareholders harmed by the non-disclosures , or ' legacy shareholders ' , an improvement on the prior $33 million while still `` paltry '' , according to the judge . Case : SEC v. Bank of America Corp. , 09 - cv - 06829 , United States District Court for the Southern District of New York . Investigations also were held on this issue in the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform , under chairman Edolphus Towns ( D - NY ) and in its investigative Domestic Policy Subcommittee under Kucinich . Fraud ( edit ) In 2010 , the U.S. government accused the bank of defrauding schools , hospitals , and dozens of state and local government organizations via misconduct and illegal activities involving the investment of proceeds from municipal bond sales . As a result , the bank agreed to pay $137.7 million , including $25 million to the Internal Revenue service and $4.5 million to state attorney general , to the affected organizations to settle the allegations . Former bank official Douglas Campbell pleaded guilty to antitrust , conspiracy and wire fraud charges . As of January 2011 , other bankers and brokers are under indictment or investigation . On October 24 , 2012 , the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan filed a lawsuit alleging that Bank of America fraudulently cost American taxpayers more than $1 billion when Countrywide Financial sold toxic mortgages to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac . The scheme was called ' Hustle ' , or High Speed Swim Lane . On May 23 , 2016 the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the finding of fact by the jury that low quality mortgages were supplied by Countrywide to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the `` Hustle '' case supported only `` intentional breach of contract , '' not fraud . The action , for civil fraud , relied on provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform , Recovery and Enforcement Act . The decision turned on lack of intent to defraud at the time the contract to supply mortgages was made . Downsizing ( 2011 to 2014 ) ( edit ) During 2011 , Bank of America began conducting personnel reductions of an estimated 36,000 people , contributing to intended savings of $5 billion per year by 2014 . In December 2011 , Forbes ranked Bank of America 's financial health 91st out of the nation 's largest 100 banks and thrift institutions . Bank of America cut around 16,000 jobs in a quicker fashion by the end of 2012 as revenue continued to decline because of new regulations and a slow economy . This put a plan one year ahead of time to eliminate 30,000 jobs under a cost - cutting program , called Project New BAC . In the first quarter of 2014 , Berkshire bank purchased 20 Bank of America branches in Central and eastern New York for 14.4 million dollars . The branches were from Utica / Rome region and down the Mohawk Valley east to the capital region . In April and May 2014 , Bank of America sold two dozen branches in Michigan to Huntington Bancshares . The locations were converted to Huntington National Bank branches in September . As part of its new strategy Bank of America is focused on growing its mobile banking platform . As of 2014 , Bank of America has 31 million active online users and 16 million mobile users . Its retail banking branches have decreased to 4,900 as a result of increased mobile banking use and a decline in customer branch visits . By 2018 , the number of mobile users has increased to 25.3 million and the number of locations fell to 4,411 at the end of June . Sale of stake in China Construction Bank ( edit ) In 2005 , Bank of America acquired a 9 % stake in China Construction Bank , one of the Big Four banks in China , for $3 billion . It represented the company 's largest foray into China 's growing banking sector . Bank of America has offices in Hong Kong , Shanghai , and Guangzhou and was looking to greatly expand its Chinese business as a result of this deal . In 2008 , Bank of America was awarded Project Finance Deal of the Year at the 2008 ALB Hong Kong Law Awards . In November 2011 , Bank of America announced plans to divest most of its stake in the China Construction Bank . In September 2013 , Bank of America sold its remaining stake in the China Construction Bank for as much as $1.5 billion , marking the firm 's full exit from the country . $17 billion settlement with Justice Department ( edit ) In August 2014 , Bank of America agreed to a near - $17 billion deal to settle claims against it relating to the sale of toxic mortgage - linked securities including subprime home loans , in what was believed to be the largest settlement in U.S. corporate history . The bank agreed with the U.S. Justice Department to pay $9.65 billion in fines , and $7 billion in relief to the victims of the faulty loans which included homeowners , borrowers , pension funds and municipalities . Real estate economist Jed Kolko said the settlement is a `` drop in the bucket '' compared to the $700 billion in damages done to 11 million homeowners . Since the settlement covered such a substantial portion of the market , he said for most consumers `` you 're out of luck . '' Much of the government 's prosecution was based on information provided by three whistleblowers -- Shareef Abdou ( a senior vice president at the bank ) , Robert Madsen ( a professional appraiser employed by a bank subsidiary ) and Edward O'Donnell ( a Fannie Mae official ) . The three men received $170 million in whistleblower awards . DOD Community Bank ( edit ) DOD Community Bank logo . Bank of America has formed a partnership with the United States Department of Defense creating a newly chartered bank DOD Community Bank ( `` Community Bank '' ) providing full banking services to military personnel at 68 branches and ATM locations on U.S. military installations in Guantanamo Bay Naval Base Cuba , Diego Garcia , Germany , Japan , Italy , Kwajalein Atoll , South Korea , the Netherlands and the United Kingdom . It should be noted that even though Bank of America operates Community Bank customer services are not interchangeable between the two financial institutions , meaning a Community Bank customer can not go to a Bank of America branch and withdraw from their account and vice versa . Deposits made into checking and savings accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 despite the fact that none of Community 's operating branches are located within the jurisdictional borders of the United States . Decision not to Finance makers of military - style Guns ( edit ) In April 2018 , Bank of America announced that it would stop providing financing to makers of military - style weapons such as the AR - 15 rifle . In announcing the decision , Bank of America referenced recent mass shootings and said that it wanted to `` contribute in any way we can '' to reduce them . Introduction of Erica ( edit ) At the Money 20 / 20 conference in October 2016 , retail banking president Thong Nguyen introduced a digital assistant called Erica , whose name comes from the bank name . Starting in 2017 , customers will be able to use voice or text to communicate with Erica and get advice , check balances and pay bills . Unlike the people who work for the bank , Erica will be available 24 / 7 . Digital banking head Michelle Moore said the technology was designed to help customers do a better job of managing money . Forrester analyst Peter Wannemacher says bank customer experiences with the technology have been `` uneven or poor , '' but Bank of America intends to adapt Erica as needed .

Lawsuits ( edit ) In August 2011 , Bank of America was sued for $10 billion by American International Group . Another lawsuit filed in September 2011 pertained to $57.5 billion in mortgage - backed securities Bank of America sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac . That December , Bank of America agreed to pay $335 million to settle a federal government claim that Countrywide Financial had discriminated against Hispanic and African - American homebuyers from 2004 to 2008 , prior to being acquired by BofA . In September 2012 , BofA settled out of court for $2.4 billion in a class action lawsuit filed by BofA shareholders who felt they were misled about the purchase of Merrill Lynch . On February 9 , 2012 , it was announced that the five largest mortgage servicers ( Ally / GMAC , Bank of America , Citi , JPMorgan Chase , and Wells Fargo ) agreed to a historic settlement with the federal government and 49 states . The settlement , known as the National Mortgage Settlement ( NMS ) , required the servicers to provide about $26 billion in relief to distressed homeowners and in direct payments to the states and federal government . This settlement amount makes the NMS the second largest civil settlement in U.S. history , only trailing the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement . The five banks were also required to comply with 305 new mortgage servicing standards . Oklahoma held out and agreed to settle with the banks separately . On October 24 , 2012 , American federal prosecutors filed a $1 billion civil lawsuit against Bank of America for mortgage fraud under the False Claims Act , which provides for possible penalties of triple the damages suffered . The government asserted that Countrywide , which was acquired by Bank of America , rubber - stamped mortgage loans to risky borrowers and forced taxpayers to guarantee billions of bad loans through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac . The suit was filed by Preet Bharara , the United States attorney in Manhattan , the inspector general of FHFA and the special inspector for the Troubled Asset Relief Program . In March 2014 , Bank of America settled the suit by agreeing to pay $6.3 billion to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and to buy back around $3.2 billion worth of mortgage bonds . In April 2014 , the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) ordered Bank of America to provide and estimated $727 million in relief to consumers harmed by practices related to credit card add - on products . According to the Bureau , roughly 1.4 million customers were affected by deceptive marketing of add - on products and 1.9 million customers were illegally charged for credit monitoring and reporting services they were not receiving . The deceptive marketing misconduct involved telemarketing scripts containing misstatements and off - script sales pitches made by telemarketers that were misleading and omitted pertinent information . The unfair billing practices involved billing customers for privacy related products without having the authorization necessary to perform the credit monitoring and credit report retrieval services . As a result , the company billed customers for services they did not receive , unfairly charged consumers for interest and fees , illegally charged approximately 1.9 million accounts , and failed to provide the product benefit . A $7.5 million settlement was reached in April 2014 with former chief financial officer for Bank of America , Joe L. Price , over allegations that the bank 's management withheld material information related to its 2008 merger with Merrill Lynch . In August 2014 , the United States Department of Justice and the bank agreed to a $16.65 billion agreement over the sale of risky , mortgage - backed securities before the Great Recession ; the loans behind the securities were transferred to the company when it acquired banks such as Merrill Lynch and Countrywide in 2008 . As a whole , the three firms provided $965 billion of mortgage - backed securities from 2004 -- 2008 . The settlement was structured to give $7 billion in consumer relief and $9.65 billion in penalty payments to the federal government and state governments ; California , for instance , received $300 million to recompense public pension funds . The settlement was the largest in United States history between a single company and the federal government . A lawsuit has been filed against Bank of America by a former senior executive , Omeed Malik , who was accused of sexual harassment . Malik filed a defamation claim against the bank and is seeking damages of more than $100 million . Controversies ( edit ) Parmalat controversy ( edit ) Parmalat SpA is a multinational Italian dairy and food corporation . Following Parmalat 's 2003 bankruptcy , the company sued Bank of America for $10 billion , alleging the bank profited from its knowledge of Parmalat 's financial difficulties . The parties announced a settlement in July 2009 , resulting in Bank of America paying Parmalat $98.5 million in October 2009 . In a related case , on April 18 , 2011 , an Italian court acquitted Bank of America and three other large banks , along with their employees , of charges they assisted Parmalat in concealing its fraud , and of lacking sufficient internal controls to prevent such frauds . Prosecutors did not immediately say whether they would appeal the rulings . In Parma , the banks were still charged with covering up the fraud . Consumer credit controversies ( edit ) In January 2008 , Bank of America began notifying some customers without payment problems that their interest rates were more than doubled , up to 28 % . The bank was criticized for raising rates on customers in good standing , and for declining to explain why it had done so . In September 2009 , a Bank of America credit card customer , Ann Minch , posted a video on YouTube criticizing the bank for raising her interest rate . After the video went viral , she was contacted by a Bank of America representative who lowered her rate . The story attracted national attention from television and internet commentators . More recently , the bank has been criticized for allegedly seizing three properties that were not under their ownership , apparently due to incorrect addresses on their legal documents . WikiLeaks ( edit ) In October 2009 , Julian Assange of WikiLeaks claimed that his organization possessed a 5 gigabyte hard drive formerly used by a Bank of America executive and that Wikileaks intended to publish its contents . In November 2010 , Forbes published an interview with Assange in which he stated his intent to publish information which would turn a major U.S. bank `` inside out '' . In response to this announcement , Bank of America stock dropped 3.2 % . In December 2010 , Bank of America announced that it would no longer service requests to transfer funds to WikiLeaks , stating that `` Bank of America joins in the actions previously announced by MasterCard , PayPal , Visa Europe and others and will not process transactions of any type that we have reason to believe are intended for WikiLeaks ... This decision is based upon our reasonable belief that WikiLeaks may be engaged in activities that are , among other things , inconsistent with our internal policies for processing payments . '' Later in December , it was announced that Bank of America purchased more than 300 Internet domain names in an attempt to preempt bad publicity that might be forthcoming in the anticipated WikiLeaks release . The domain names included as BrianMoynihanBlows.com , BrianMoynihanSucks.com and similar names for other top executives of the bank . Sometime before August 2011 , WikiLeaks claimed that 5 GB of Bank of America leaks was part of the deletion of over 3500 communications by Daniel Domscheit - Berg , a now ex-WikiLeaks volunteer . Anonymous ( edit ) On March 14 , 2011 , members of hacker group Anonymous began releasing emails said to be from a former Bank of America employee . According to the group , the emails documented alleged `` corruption and fraud '' . The source , identified publicly as Brian Penny , was a former LPI Specialist from Balboa Insurance , a firm which used to be owned by the bank , but was sold to Australian Reinsurance Company QBE . Mortgage business ( edit ) In 2010 the state of Arizona launched an investigation into Bank of America for misleading homeowners who sought to modify their mortgage loans . According to the attorney general of Arizona , the bank `` repeatedly has deceived '' such mortgagors . In response to the investigation , the bank has given some modifications on the condition that the homeowners remove some information criticizing the bank online . Investment in mountaintop removal ( edit ) On May 6 , 2015 , Bank of America announced it would reduce its financial exposure to coal companies . The announcement came following pressure from universities and environmental groups . The new policy was announced as part of the bank 's decision to continue to reduce credit exposure over time to the coal mining sector . Notable buildings ( edit ) Bank of America Plaza , the tallest building in Atlanta Bank of America Stadium , home to the Carolina Panthers of the NFL Notable buildings which Bank of America currently occupies include : Bank of America Tower in Phoenix , Arizona Bank of America Center in Los Angeles , California Transamerica Pyramid , in San Francisco 555 California Street , formerly the Bank of America Center and world headquarters , in San Francisco , California Bank of America Plaza in Fort Lauderdale , Florida Bank of America Tower in Jacksonville , Florida Bank of America Financial Center ( Brickell ) and Bank of America Museum Tower ( Downtown Miami ) in Miami , Florida Bank of America Center in Orlando , Florida Bank of America Tower in St. Petersburg , Florida Bank of America Plaza in Tampa , Florida Bank of America Plaza in Atlanta , Georgia Bank of America Building , formerly the LaSalle Bank Building in Chicago , Illinois One City Center , often called the Bank of America building due to signage rights , in Portland , Maine Bank of America Building in Baltimore , Maryland Bank of America Plaza in St Louis , Missouri Bank of America Tower in Albuquerque , New Mexico Bank of America Tower in New York City Bank of America Corporate Center in Charlotte , North Carolina ( the corporate headquarters ) Bank of America Plaza in Charlotte , North Carolina Bank of America Plaza in Dallas , Texas Bank of America Center in Houston , Texas Bank of America Tower in Midland , Texas Bank of America Plaza in San Antonio , Texas Bank of America Fifth Avenue Plaza in Seattle , Washington Columbia Center in Seattle , Washington Bank of America Tower in Hong Kong City Place I , also known as United Healthcare Center , in Hartford , Connecticut ( the tallest building in Connecticut ) 9454 Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills , California Former buildings ( edit ) The Robert B.

It is a film adaptation of Robert Harling 's 1987 play of the same name . The play and film are about the bond a group of women share in a small - town Southern community , and how they cope with the death of one of their own . The story is based on Robert Harling 's real life experience of the death of his sister , Susan Harling Robinson , in 1985 due to complications from Type 1 diabetes . He changed his sister 's name in the story from Susan to Shelby Eatenton - Latcherie . The title suggests the main female characters can be both as delicate as the magnolia flower , and as tough as steel .

At the same time , in another part of the neighborhood , M'Lynn Eatenton , and her daughter , Shelby , are preparing for Shelby 's wedding , which is taking place later that day . They arrive , along with Clairee Belcher , the cheerful widow of the former mayor , to have their hair done . Suddenly , Shelby , who has type 1 diabetes , falls into a hypoglycemic state , but recovers quickly with the help of her mother 's quick thinking . Later that afternoon , short - tempered , grouchy , and sarcastic Louisa `` Ouiser '' Boudreaux arrives in the salon and questions Annelle about where she has moved from , forcing Annelle to reveal that her husband has recently left her while fleeing the police , taking all their money and their car . Moved by Annelle 's emotional confession , Shelby invites her to the wedding , where Annelle meets Sammy DeSoto , who is tending bar . Several months pass and Shelby returns to town to celebrate Christmas . During the festivities , she announces that she and her husband , Jackson Latcherie , are expecting their first child . M'Lynn is devastated by the news , as the doctors had warned that Shelby 's extreme diabetes situation means that pregnancy could be a death sentence , but Shelby , unable to adopt , was unwilling to go on without having children , calling that a `` life of nothing special . '' Shelby 's father Drum , and her brothers Jonathan and Tommy , are thrilled . Truvy , Annelle , and Clairee had originally thought that Shelby could n't have children , but on the night of the big announcement , M'Lynn clarifies for them the doctors ' warnings . Unable to give her any words of wisdom , Truvy suggests they focus on the joy of the situation : Jackson and Shelby 's first child , as well as Drum and M'Lynn's first grandchild . M'Lynn agrees , saying that nothing pleases Shelby more than proving her wrong . Shelby successfully delivers a baby boy , Jackson Jr. , but shows signs of kidney failure and starts dialysis . She celebrates July Fourth , around the time Jackson Jr. turns one , by successfully receiving a donated kidney from M'Lynn , allowing Shelby to seemingly resume a normal life . Four months later , on Halloween , Ouiser , Clairee , Truvy , and M'Lynn throw Annelle a surprise wedding shower , as she is now engaged to Sammy . Shelby is unavailable to attend due to a conflicting schedule with her nursing job , and is later found by Jackson unconscious on the porch of her house . Shelby is rushed to the hospital , where it is determined that her body rejected the new kidney , and she is now in a coma . The doctors inform the family that Shelby is likely to remain comatose indefinitely , and they jointly decide to take her off life support . At the funeral , after the other mourners have left , M'Lynn breaks down in hysterics in front of Ouiser , Clairee , Truvy , and Annelle , but is comforted by them . Later , at the wake , M'Lynn begins to accept her daughter 's decision to end her life in return for a few years of motherhood . Annelle , now married and pregnant , asks M'Lynn if she could name her own baby after Shelby , since Shelby was the reason Annelle and Sammy met . M'Lynn gives her blessing and assures Annelle that Shelby would have loved it . Months later , on Easter morning , Annelle goes into labor during an Easter egg hunt , is rushed to the hospital by Truvy and her husband Spud , and another life begins .

Production ( edit ) Released by TriStar Pictures in the United States on November 15 , 1989 and grossed more than $83.7 million at the box office . Harling 's first produced screenplay , he adapted the original film script which was then heavily rewritten beyond the on - stage one - set scenario ( which had taken place entirely in Truvy 's beauty salon ) of the stage production : the scenes increased and the sequence was more tightly linked with major holidays than the play ; the increased characters beyond the original , all - female play cast caused dialogue changes between on - screen characters ( among them , Harling playing the preacher and Truvy has one son instead of two ) . Natchitoches , Louisiana served as both the 1989 film location and scenario location with historian Robert DeBlieux , a former Natchitoches mayor , as the local advisor . Reception ( edit ) It received generally positive reviews from critics and has a score of 69 % on Rotten Tomatoes . An example of a less enthusiastic critic was Hal Hinson of The Washington Post , who said that it felt , `` more Hollywood than the South . '' More enthusiastic was Roger Ebert , who said that the film was , `` willing to sacrifice its over-all impact for individual moments of humor , and while that leaves us without much to take home , you 've got to hand it to them : The moments work . '' The movie received a limited release on November 15 , 1989 : entered the U.S. box office at No. 4 with an opening weekend gross of $5,425,440 ; by the time of wider release two days later it grossed $15,643,935 ; stayed in the top 10 for 16 weeks , gross $83,759,091 domestically with a further $12,145,000 with foreign markets giving a worldwide gross of $95,904,091 .

Patellar reflex - wikipedia Patellar reflex Schematic representation of patellar tendon reflex ( knee jerk ) pathway The patellar reflex or knee - jerk ( myotatic ) ( monosynaptic ) ( American spelling knee reflex ) is a stretch reflex which tests the L2 , L3 , and L4 segments of the spinal cord . Contents ( hide ) 1 Mechanism 2 Purpose of testing 3 History 4 In popular culture 5 See also 6 Notes 7 References Mechanism ( 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 . ( April 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Striking the patellar tendon with a reflex hammer just below the patella stretches the muscle spindle in the quadriceps muscle . This produces a signal which travels back to the spinal cord and synapses ( without interneurons ) at the level of L3 in the spinal cord , completely independent of higher centres . From there , an alpha motor neuron conducts an efferent impulse back to the quadriceps femoris muscle , triggering contraction . This contraction , coordinated with the relaxation of the antagonistic flexor hamstring muscle causes the leg to kick . This is a reflex of proprioception which helps maintain posture and balance , allowing to keep one 's balance with little effort or conscious thought . The patellar reflex is a clinical and classic example of the monosynaptic reflex arc . There is no interneuron in the pathway leading to contraction of the quadriceps muscle . Instead , the bipolar sensory neuron synapses directly on a motor neuron in the spinal cord . However , there is an inhibitory interneuron used to relax the antagonistic hamstring muscle ( Reciprocal innervation ) . This test of a basic automatic reflex may be influenced by the patient consciously inhibiting or exaggerating the response ; the doctor may use the Jendrassik maneuver as a distraction or diversion in order to ensure a more valid reflex test . Purpose of testing ( edit ) After the tap of a hammer , the leg is normally extended once and comes to rest . The absence or decrease of this reflex is problematic , and known as Westphal 's sign . This reflex may be diminished or absent in lower motor neuron lesions and during sleep . On the other hand , multiple oscillation of the leg ( pendular reflex ) following the tap may be a sign of cerebellar diseases . Exaggerated ( brisk ) deep tendon reflexes such as this can be found in upper motor neuron lesions , hyperthyroidism , anxiety or nervousness . The test itself assesses the nervous tissue between and including the L2 and L4 segments of the spinal cord . History ( edit ) The term knee - jerk was recorded by Sir Michael Foster in his Textbook of physiology in 1877 : `` Striking the tendon below the patella gives rise to a sudden extension of the leg , known as the knee - jerk . '' In popular culture ( edit ) The term began to be used figuratively from the early 20th century onwards . O.O. McIntyre , in his New York Day - By - Day column in The Coshocton Tribune , October 1921 , wrote : `` Itinerant preacher stemming Broadway on a soap box . And gets only an occasional knee - jerk .

Martin , and its television adaptation Game of Thrones . Introduced in 1996 's A Game of Thrones , Robert Baratheon is the eldest son of Steffon Baratheon , from the kingdom of Westeros . After Robert won the rebellion which was named after him , he took the Iron Throne from Aerys II Targaryen , nicknamed `` The Mad King '' , crushing the Targaryen dynasty . Robert fought the war to win back his betrothed , Lyanna Stark , with the aid of her brother , his close friend , Eddard Stark . However , due to Lyanna 's death , Robert married Tywin Lannister 's daughter Cersei after the war ended to ensure political stability . Robert is portrayed by Mark Addy in the HBO television adaptation . Contents ( hide ) 1 Character description 2 Overview 3 Storylines 3.1 In the books 3.2 In the show 3.3 Family tree of House Baratheon 4 TV adaptation 5 References Character description ( edit ) Robert is in his mid-thirties when the events of the books begin . He is jovial and fun - loving , fond of battle , women and drink . As a young man Robert was a formidable warrior , noted for his chivalry , sense of honor and immense charisma . He won several loyal Targaryen bannermen to his cause through strength of personality alone . Very tall and incredibly muscular , Robert was considered one of the most attractive men in Westeros , desired by every maiden in the realm , being described in A Game of Thrones as `` Muscled like a maiden 's fantasy . '' However , after becoming king , Robert let himself go somewhat , becoming fat , soft and indolent , though still capable of great generosity to his friends . Robert has also become more bitter following Lyanna 's death and his unhappy marriage to Cersei , despite their multiple children . Overview ( edit ) Robert Baratheon is not a point of view character in the novels , so his actions are witnessed and interpreted through the eyes of other people , such as Ned Stark . Storylines ( edit ) Coat of arms of House Baratheon In the books ( edit ) Robert Baratheon is King of the Seven Kingdoms at the beginning of A Game of Thrones . He was the ward of Jon Arryn and was raised at the Eyrie alongside Eddard Stark . Fifteen years before the novels , Robert was betrothed to Ned 's sister Lyanna , and after Lyanna and Rhaegar Targaryen disappeared , Robert killed Rhaegar and seized the throne . He then married Cersei Lannister to ensure House Lannister 's support for his rule , but remained attached to the memory of Lyanna , which estranged Cersei . At the beginning of A Game of Thrones Robert , then king , has just come to Winterfell to appoint Eddard Stark the Hand of The King . He was unaware that Cersei 's three children were therefore fathered by her brother Jaime . More interested in food , drink , and tourneys than in governance , Robert has squandered the royal treasury , leaving the crown heavily in debt . After he dies in a hunting accident orchestrated by Cersei , the kingdoms plunge into civil war . His death incites the war that encompasses the entirety of the following two books , the War of the Five Kings , in which his two brothers , Lords Renly and Stannis Baratheon , declare themselves the rightful kings . Robb Stark is also declared King in the North and King of the Trident , and Lord Balon Greyjoy declares himself King of the Iron Islands . In the show ( edit ) Robert Baratheon , formerly a fierce warrior , became King of the Seven Kingdoms after leading a rebellion against Aerys II Targaryen . He was betrothed to Ned Stark 's sister Lyanna and loved her deeply , but she loved Rhaegar Targaryen and married him in secret before they fled . Robert assumed Lyanna was abducted , beginning his revolt with Ned Stark after his father and brother were killed in King 's Landing while trying to reclaim Lyanna . The event , known as Robert 's Rebellion , resulted with the Targaryens mostly slaughtered or routed from the Kingdoms . Since Robert 's family had closer ties to the former Royal family , this put Robert on the Iron Throne . Now , Robert has grown fat and miserable ; he has no more wars to fight , is surrounded by plotters and sycophants , hates and is bored by the constant work needed to manage the Kingdoms properly , and trapped in a political marriage to the scheming Cersei Lannister , whom he has never loved . He is unaware that none of his three children are his , but instead Jaime Lannister 's . Under his reign , the realm has been bankrupted , and Robert is deeply in debt to his wife 's family . Killed while hunting , he unknowingly leaves no rightful heir behind . His bastards are ordered dead by Joffrey , many of which are killed , and Gendry is subsequently forced to flee the capital . In seasons six and seven , Bran Stark 's gift of vision as the Three - Eyed Raven revealed to him the truth of Rhygar and Lyanna 's relationship and that Robert 's Rebellion was built on a lie .

Noon and Donaghue question Flora again about Clive , this time with years - old accusations of sexual assault against him . She rejects the allegations as lies and insists that the two leave . On their way to Leslie 's , Alyssa calls Gwen and tells her that she will never return home . At the police station , Flora gives Noon the camcorder , having a change of heart . When Noon raises the possibility that the killing was in self - defence , Darego says that this would result in a count of manslaughter instead . After finding Leslie has moved out of his previous home , James and Alyssa eventually make it to his coastside mobile home . 7 Episode 7 Lucy Tcherniak Charlie Covell 24 October 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 24 ) James gives Alyssa and Leslie space while they reconcile with each other .

Both Darego and Noon plan for the police to stakeout Leslie 's former residence , assuming that both have not arrived . On the drive to Leslie 's former residence , it becomes clear that Darego 's law - abiding morality and stubbornness are clashing against Noon 's open - minded and sympathetic morals . As Alyssa and Leslie reconnect at a nearby bar , James begins feeling distant to Alyssa . At Leslie 's former residence , Debbie denies seeing the duo or knowing Leslie 's whereabouts to Noon and Darego . She goes to the bar to demand support for their illegitimate son , Milton . When questioned by Alyssa , Leslie takes off in his truck , running over a dog in the process .

James deduces this and confesses while taking the blame upon himself . Noon , listening in , arrives at the scene and tries to convince both to be willingly arrested for manslaughter while Leslie tries to convince Alyssa to let James be arrested instead . Alyssa asks Noon if she were to go with her idea , would James and her still be together . When Noon tells that that would be unlikely , Alyssa knocks her out with Leslie 's shotgun , takes his boat keys and runs to the boat with James , only to find that the tide had gone out . With the police armed response unit closing in , James knocks Alyssa down with the gun in an attempt to take all the blame and runs across the beach . In a voiceover , James claims that he has realized what people mean to each other . A gunshot is heard as the episode then fades to black .

Originally self - published as a series of mini-comics , the series was published as a graphic novel by Fantagraphics Books in 2013 . It was republished in hardback in 2017 , in anticipation of the television series . While Forsman was publishing the mini-comics , Jonathan Entwistle contacted him about adapting it to a visual format -- the original idea was to make an American film , and later a web series was considered . A film was pitched to Film4 , and Entwistle was given funding for a short . Made in 2014 , it featured some cast and crew who continued their roles for the television series . Entwistle directed and Dominic Buchanan was producer ; Jessica Barden played Alyssa . However , instead of Alex Lawther , James was played by Craig Roberts . Though the short was well - received , no production companies wanted to invest in the idea as a full - length film . Entwistle and Buchanan decided to make a television series with Clerkenwell Films , following which Channel 4 and then Netflix became involved . Forsman had no official role in the show 's production , wanting to continue working on his comics , though Entwistle would regularly consult him and keep him updated . The programme 's plot differs from that of Forsman 's comics . In print , the children kill a satanist serial killer , whose wife was a police officer ; instead the television series features police officers Eunice Noon and Teri Darego , and does not show the serial killer to be a satanist . Another major difference is the ending of the graphic novel : the satanist police officer chases after James , and the two begin to attack each other , while police try to break up the fight . There is then a gunshot . In the final scene , Alyssa 's mother talks about her daughter being safe from James , while Alyssa is seen carving the name `` JAMES '' into her arm . Some critics interpreted this to mean that James was dead , but Forsman sees the ending as ambiguous . Filming ( edit ) The first series began filming in April 2017 and concluded a few weeks before the show 's release in October 2017 . Though filmed in England , the programme has an American tone to it ; Entwistle was inspired by Twin Peaks and Fargo . Episodes were filmed largely in suburban areas and across Surrey , with locations such as Woking , Bracknell and Longcross Studios . Another filming location was Leysdown - on - Sea on the Isle of Sheppey . Entwistle uses mostly close - up shots , particularly in early episodes where most frames feature only one character . He uses this for deadpan humour , by moving from face to face to get shots of characters ' reactions . The series is set in the present day , but Entwistle aimed to make it feel like it could have been set `` any time from 1988 to 2006 '' . Additionally , diners have a 1970s - style design , and the soundtrack features songs from the 1950s , 60s and 70s , along with original music from Graham Coxon , the founding member of Blur . Entwistle describes Coxon 's scores as `` guitar - based suburban noir '' , and notes that more of his music is used in later episodes for the police officers . Potential continuation ( edit ) The first series covered the entirety of the storyline in Forsman 's original comics . On 25 January 2018 , Jonathan Entwistle spoke of the potential for a second series . He confirmed that `` We 're exploring and we 're seeing what we can do to expand the world and see where we get to . '' Entwistle then went on to say that Netflix was enthusiastic about a second series of the show if one could be conceived . Writer Charlie Covell said `` I think there are a number of stories we could tell '' and that she would `` love to write more '' . Actor Alex Lawther stated in an interview that he would be `` very excited '' for a second series , as it would give Covell `` a chance to explore something from her imagination '' . Release ( edit ) The eight - part programme premiered its first episode on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom on 24 October 2017 , after which all eight episodes were released on All 4 . The End of the F * * * ing World was a co-production with Netflix who exclusively released it internationally on 5 January 2018 . On that weekend , sales of the graphic novel rose considerably , with Fantagraphics Books selling out of the current print run according to Forsman . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) The End of the F * * * ing World ' currently holds an approval rating of 98 % on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes based on 40 reviews , with an average rating of 8.21 / 10 . The site 's consensus states , `` Misanthropy and humor blend perfectly in this romantically nihilistic show that proves that falling in love can feel like The End of the F * * * ing World . '' Metacritic , which uses a weighted average , assigned a score of 81 out of 100 , based on 11 critics , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . Reviewer Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter lauded the programme 's writing , characters , and soundtrack , as well as praising the performances of Alex Lawther and Jessica Barden , calling it a `` pitch - black , eight - episode comedy gem of a U.K. import . '' Kelly Lawler of USA Today called it `` batty fun , '' also praising Lawther and Barden 's performances while praising the programme 's surreal concept and execution .

The copper statue , a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States , was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and built by Gustave Eiffel . The statue was dedicated on October 28 , 1886 . The Statue of Liberty is a figure of a robed woman representing Libertas , a Roman goddess . She holds a torch above her head with her right hand , and in her left hand carries a tabula ansata inscribed in Roman numerals with `` JULY IV MDCCLXXVI '' ( July 4 , 1776 ) , the date of the U.S. Declaration of Independence . A broken chain lies at her feet . The statue became an icon of freedom and of the United States , and was a welcoming sight to immigrants arriving from abroad . Bartholdi was inspired by a French law professor and politician , Édouard René de Laboulaye , who is said to have commented in 1865 that any monument raised to U.S. independence would properly be a joint project of the French and American peoples . Because of the post-war instability in France , work on the statue did not commence until the early 1870s . In 1875 , Laboulaye proposed that the French finance the statue and the U.S. provide the site and build the pedestal . Bartholdi completed the head and the torch - bearing arm before the statue was fully designed , and these pieces were exhibited for publicity at international expositions . The torch - bearing arm was displayed at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876 , and in Madison Square Park in Manhattan from 1876 to 1882 . Fundraising proved difficult , especially for the Americans , and by 1885 work on the pedestal was threatened by lack of funds . Publisher Joseph Pulitzer , of the New York World , started a drive for donations to finish the project and attracted more than 120,000 contributors , most of whom gave less than a dollar . The statue was built in France , shipped overseas in crates , and assembled on the completed pedestal on what was then called Bedloe 's Island . The statue 's completion was marked by New York 's first ticker - tape parade and a dedication ceremony presided over by President Grover Cleveland . The statue was administered by the United States Lighthouse Board until 1901 and then by the Department of War ; since 1933 it has been maintained by the National Park Service . Public access to the balcony around the torch has been barred for safety since 1916 .

The project is traced to a mid-1865 conversation between Édouard René de Laboulaye , a staunch abolitionist and Frédéric Bartholdi , a sculptor . In after - dinner conversation at his home near Versailles , Laboulaye , an ardent supporter of the Union in the American Civil War , is supposed to have said : `` If a monument should rise in the United States , as a memorial to their independence , I should think it only natural if it were built by united effort -- a common work of both our nations . '' The National Park Service , in a 2000 report , however , deemed this a legend traced to an 1885 fundraising pamphlet , and that the statue was most likely conceived in 1870 . In another essay on their website , the Park Service suggested that Laboulaye was minded to honor the Union victory and its consequences , `` With the abolition of slavery and the Union 's victory in the Civil War in 1865 , Laboulaye 's wishes of freedom and democracy were turning into a reality in the United States . In order to honor these achievements , Laboulaye proposed that a gift be built for the United States on behalf of France . Laboulaye hoped that by calling attention to the recent achievements of the United States , the French people would be inspired to call for their own democracy in the face of a repressive monarchy . '' Bartholdi 's design patent According to sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi , who later recounted the story , Laboulaye 's comment was not intended as a proposal , but it inspired Bartholdi . Given the repressive nature of the regime of Napoleon III , Bartholdi took no immediate action on the idea except to discuss it with Laboulaye . Bartholdi was in any event busy with other possible projects ; in the late 1860s , he approached Isma'il Pasha , Khedive of Egypt , a plan to build Progress or Egypt Carrying the Light to Asia , a huge lighthouse in the form of an ancient Egyptian female fellah or peasant , robed and holding a torch aloft , at the northern entrance to the Suez Canal in Port Said . Sketches and models were made of the proposed work , though it was never erected . There was a classical precedent for the Suez proposal , the Colossus of Rhodes : an ancient bronze statue of the Greek god of the sun , Helios . This statue is believed to have been over 100 feet ( 30 m ) high , and it similarly stood at a harbor entrance and carried a light to guide ships . Any large project was further delayed by the Franco - Prussian War , in which Bartholdi served as a major of militia . In the war , Napoleon III was captured and deposed . Bartholdi 's home province of Alsace was lost to the Prussians , and a more liberal republic was installed in France . As Bartholdi had been planning a trip to the United States , he and Laboulaye decided the time was right to discuss the idea with influential Americans . In June 1871 , Bartholdi crossed the Atlantic , with letters of introduction signed by Laboulaye . Arriving at New York Harbor , Bartholdi focused on Bedloe 's Island ( now named Liberty Island ) as a site for the statue , struck by the fact that vessels arriving in New York had to sail past it . He was delighted to learn that the island was owned by the United States government -- it had been ceded by the New York State Legislature in 1800 for harbor defense . It was thus , as he put it in a letter to Laboulaye : `` land common to all the states . '' As well as meeting many influential New Yorkers , Bartholdi visited President Ulysses S. Grant , who assured him that it would not be difficult to obtain the site for the statue . Bartholdi crossed the United States twice by rail , and met many Americans who he thought would be sympathetic to the project . But he remained concerned that popular opinion on both sides of the Atlantic was insufficiently supportive of the proposal , and he and Laboulaye decided to wait before mounting a public campaign . Bartholdi 's Lion of Belfort Bartholdi had made a first model of his concept in 1870 . The son of a friend of Bartholdi 's , American artist John LaFarge , later maintained that Bartholdi made the first sketches for the statue during his U.S. visit at La Farge 's Rhode Island studio . Bartholdi continued to develop the concept following his return to France . He also worked on a number of sculptures designed to bolster French patriotism after the defeat by the Prussians . One of these was the Lion of Belfort , a monumental sculpture carved in sandstone below the fortress of Belfort , which during the war had resisted a Prussian siege for over three months . The defiant lion , 73 feet ( 22 m ) long and half that in height , displays an emotional quality characteristic of Romanticism , which Bartholdi would later bring to the Statue of Liberty . Design , style , and symbolism Detail from a fresco by Constantino Brumidi in the U.S. Capitol in Washington , D.C. , showing two early symbols of America : Columbia ( left ) and the Indian princess Bartholdi and Laboulaye considered how best to express the idea of American liberty . In early American history , two female figures were frequently used as cultural symbols of the nation . One of these symbols , the personified Columbia , was seen as an embodiment of the United States in the manner that Britannia was identified with the United Kingdom and Marianne came to represent France . Columbia had supplanted the earlier figure of an Indian princess , which had come to be regarded as uncivilized and derogatory toward Americans . The other significant female icon in American culture was a representation of Liberty , derived from Libertas , the goddess of freedom widely worshipped in ancient Rome , especially among emancipated slaves . A Liberty figure adorned most American coins of the time , and representations of Liberty appeared in popular and civic art , including Thomas Crawford 's Statue of Freedom ( 1863 ) atop the dome of the United States Capitol Building . Artists of the 18th and 19th centuries striving to evoke republican ideals commonly used representations of Libertas as an allegorical symbol . A figure of Liberty was also depicted on the Great Seal of France . However , Bartholdi and Laboulaye avoided an image of revolutionary liberty such as that depicted in Eugène Delacroix 's famed Liberty Leading the People ( 1830 ) . In this painting , which commemorates France 's Revolution of 1830 , a half - clothed Liberty leads an armed mob over the bodies of the fallen . Laboulaye had no sympathy for revolution , and so Bartholdi 's figure would be fully dressed in flowing robes . Instead of the impression of violence in the Delacroix work , Bartholdi wished to give the statue a peaceful appearance and chose a torch , representing progress , for the figure to hold . Crawford 's statue was designed in the early 1850s . It was originally to be crowned with a pileus , the cap given to emancipated slaves in ancient Rome . Secretary of War Jefferson Davis , a Southerner who would later serve as President of the Confederate States of America , was concerned that the pileus would be taken as an abolitionist symbol . He ordered that it be changed to a helmet . Delacroix 's figure wears a pileus , and Bartholdi at first considered placing one on his figure as well . Instead , he used a diadem , or crown , to top its head . In so doing , he avoided a reference to Marianne , who invariably wears a pileus . The seven rays form a halo or aureole . They evoke the sun , the seven seas , and the seven continents , and represent another means , besides the torch , whereby Liberty enlightens the world . Bartholdi 's early models were all similar in concept : a female figure in neoclassical style representing liberty , wearing a stola and pella ( gown and cloak , common in depictions of Roman goddesses ) and holding a torch aloft . According to popular accounts , the face was modeled after that of Charlotte Beysser Bartholdi , the sculptor 's mother , but Regis Huber , the curator of the Bartholdi Museum is on record as saying that this , as well as other similar speculations , have no basis in fact . He designed the figure with a strong , uncomplicated silhouette , which would be set off well by its dramatic harbor placement and allow passengers on vessels entering New York Bay to experience a changing perspective on the statue as they proceeded toward Manhattan . He gave it bold classical contours and applied simplified modeling , reflecting the huge scale of the project and its solemn purpose . Bartholdi wrote of his technique : Thomas Crawford 's Statue of Freedom The surfaces should be broad and simple , defined by a bold and clear design , accentuated in the important places . The enlargement of the details or their multiplicity is to be feared . By exaggerating the forms , in order to render them more clearly visible , or by enriching them with details , we would destroy the proportion of the work . Finally , the model , like the design , should have a summarized character , such as one would give to a rapid sketch . Only it is necessary that this character should be the product of volition and study , and that the artist , concentrating his knowledge , should find the form and the line in its greatest simplicity . Bartholdi made alterations in the design as the project evolved . Bartholdi considered having Liberty hold a broken chain , but decided this would be too divisive in the days after the Civil War . The erected statue does rise over a broken chain , half - hidden by her robes and difficult to see from the ground . Bartholdi was initially uncertain of what to place in Liberty 's left hand ; he settled on a tabula ansata , used to evoke the concept of law . Though Bartholdi greatly admired the United States Constitution , he chose to inscribe `` JULY IV MDCCLXXVI '' on the tablet , thus associating the date of the country 's Declaration of Independence with the concept of liberty . Bartholdi interested his friend and mentor , architect Eugène Viollet - le - Duc , in the project . As chief engineer , Viollet - le - Duc designed a brick pier within the statue , to which the skin would be anchored . After consultations with the metalwork foundry Gaget , Gauthier & Co. , Viollet - le - Duc chose the metal which would be used for the skin , copper sheets , and the method used to shape it , repoussé , in which the sheets were heated and then struck with wooden hammers . An advantage of this choice was that the entire statue would be light for its volume , as the copper need be only 0.094 inches ( 2.4 mm ) thick . Bartholdi had decided on a height of just over 151 feet ( 46 m ) for the statue , double that of Italy 's Sancarlone and the German statue of Arminius , both made with the same method . Announcement and early work By 1875 , France was enjoying improved political stability and a recovering postwar economy . Growing interest in the upcoming Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia led Laboulaye to decide it was time to seek public support . In September 1875 , he announced the project and the formation of the Franco - American Union as its fundraising arm . With the announcement , the statue was given a name , Liberty Enlightening the World . The French would finance the statue ; Americans would be expected to pay for the pedestal . The announcement provoked a generally favorable reaction in France , though many Frenchmen resented the United States for not coming to their aid during the war with Prussia . French monarchists opposed the statue , if for no other reason than it was proposed by the liberal Laboulaye , who had recently been elected a senator for life . Laboulaye arranged events designed to appeal to the rich and powerful , including a special performance at the Paris Opera on April 25 , 1876 , that featured a new cantata by composer Charles Gounod . The piece was titled La Liberté éclairant le monde , the French version of the statue 's announced name . Stereoscopic image of right arm and torch of the Statue of Liberty , 1876 Centennial Exposition Despite its initial focus on the elites , the Union was successful in raising funds from across French society . Schoolchildren and ordinary citizens gave , as did 181 French municipalities . Laboulaye 's political allies supported the call , as did descendants of the French contingent in the American Revolutionary War . Less idealistically , contributions came from those who hoped for American support in the French attempt to build the Panama Canal . The copper may have come from multiple sources and some of it is said to have come from a mine in Visnes , Norway , though this has not been conclusively determined after testing samples . According to Cara Sutherland in her book on the statue for the Museum of the City of New York , 90,800 kilos ( 200,000 pounds ) was needed to build the statue , and the French copper industrialist Eugène Secrétan donated 58,100 kilos ( 128,000 pounds ) of copper . Although plans for the statue had not been finalized , Bartholdi moved forward with fabrication of the right arm , bearing the torch , and the head . Work began at the Gaget , Gauthier & Co. workshop . In May 1876 , Bartholdi traveled to the United States as a member of a French delegation to the Centennial Exhibition , and arranged for a huge painting of the statue to be shown in New York as part of the Centennial festivities . The arm did not arrive in Philadelphia until August ; because of its late arrival , it was not listed in the exhibition catalogue , and while some reports correctly identified the work , others called it the `` Colossal Arm '' or `` Bartholdi Electric Light '' . The exhibition grounds contained a number of monumental artworks to compete for fairgoers ' interest , including an outsized fountain designed by Bartholdi . Nevertheless , the arm proved popular in the exhibition 's waning days , and visitors would climb up to the balcony of the torch to view the fairgrounds . After the exhibition closed , the arm was transported to New York , where it remained on display in Madison Square Park for several years before it was returned to France to join the rest of the statue . During his second trip to the United States , Bartholdi addressed a number of groups about the project , and urged the formation of American committees of the Franco - American Union . Committees to raise money to pay for the foundation and pedestal were formed in New York , Boston , and Philadelphia . The New York group eventually took on most of the responsibility for American fundraising and is often referred to as the `` American Committee '' . One of its members was 19 - year - old Theodore Roosevelt , the future governor of New York and president of the United States . On March 3 , 1877 , on his final full day in office , President Grant signed a joint resolution that authorized the President to accept the statue when it was presented by France and to select a site for it . President Rutherford B. Hayes , who took office the following day , selected the Bedloe 's Island site that Bartholdi had proposed . Construction in France The statue 's head on exhibit at the Paris World 's Fair , 1878 On his return to Paris in 1877 , Bartholdi concentrated on completing the head , which was exhibited at the 1878 Paris World 's Fair . Fundraising continued , with models of the statue put on sale . Tickets to view the construction activity at the Gaget , Gauthier & Co. workshop were also offered . The French government authorized a lottery ; among the prizes were valuable silver plate and a terracotta model of the statue . By the end of 1879 , about 250,000 francs had been raised . The head and arm had been built with assistance from Viollet - le - Duc , who fell ill in 1879 . He soon died , leaving no indication of how he intended to transition from the copper skin to his proposed masonry pier . The following year , Bartholdi was able to obtain the services of the innovative designer and builder Gustave Eiffel . Eiffel and his structural engineer , Maurice Koechlin , decided to abandon the pier and instead build an iron truss tower . Eiffel opted not to use a completely rigid structure , which would force stresses to accumulate in the skin and lead eventually to cracking . A secondary skeleton was attached to the center pylon , then , to enable the statue to move slightly in the winds of New York Harbor and as the metal expanded on hot summer days , he loosely connected the support structure to the skin using flat iron bars which culminated in a mesh of metal straps , known as `` saddles '' , that were riveted to the skin , providing firm support . In a labor - intensive process , each saddle had to be crafted individually . To prevent galvanic corrosion between the copper skin and the iron support structure , Eiffel insulated the skin with asbestos impregnated with shellac . Eiffel 's design made the statue one of the earliest examples of curtain wall construction , in which the exterior of the structure is not load bearing , but is instead supported by an interior framework . He included two interior spiral staircases , to make it easier for visitors to reach the observation point in the crown . Access to an observation platform surrounding the torch was also provided , but the narrowness of the arm allowed for only a single ladder , 40 feet ( 12 m ) long . As the pylon tower arose , Eiffel and Bartholdi coordinated their work carefully so that completed segments of skin would fit exactly on the support structure . The components of the pylon tower were built in the Eiffel factory in the nearby Parisian suburb of Levallois - Perret . The change in structural material from masonry to iron allowed Bartholdi to change his plans for the statue 's assembly . He had originally expected to assemble the skin on - site as the masonry pier was built ; instead he decided to build the statue in France and have it disassembled and transported to the United States for reassembly in place on Bedloe 's Island . In a symbolic act , the first rivet placed into the skin , fixing a copper plate onto the statue 's big toe , was driven by United States Ambassador to France Levi P. Morton . The skin was not , however , crafted in exact sequence from low to high ; work proceeded on a number of segments simultaneously in a manner often confusing to visitors . Some work was performed by contractors -- one of the fingers was made to Bartholdi 's exacting specifications by a coppersmith in the southern French town of Montauban . By 1882 , the statue was complete up to the waist , an event Barthodi celebrated by inviting reporters to lunch on a platform built within the statue . Laboulaye died in 1883 . He was succeeded as chairman of the French committee by Ferdinand de Lesseps , builder of the Suez Canal . The completed statue was formally presented to Ambassador Morton at a ceremony in Paris on July 4 , 1884 , and de Lesseps announced that the French government had agreed to pay for its transport to New York . The statue remained intact in Paris pending sufficient progress on the pedestal ; by January 1885 , this had occurred and the statue was disassembled and crated for its ocean voyage . Richard Morris Hunt 's pedestal under construction in June 1885 The committees in the United States faced great difficulties in obtaining funds for the construction of the pedestal . The Panic of 1873 had led to an economic depression that persisted through much of the decade . The Liberty statue project was not the only such undertaking that had difficulty raising money : construction of the obelisk later known as the Washington Monument sometimes stalled for years ; it would ultimately take over three - and - a-half decades to complete . There was criticism both of Bartholdi 's statue and of the fact that the gift required Americans to foot the bill for the pedestal . In the years following the Civil War , most Americans preferred realistic artworks depicting heroes and events from the nation 's history , rather than allegorical works like the Liberty statue . There was also a feeling that Americans should design American public works -- the selection of Italian - born Constantino Brumidi to decorate the Capitol had provoked intense criticism , even though he was a naturalized U.S. citizen . Harper 's Weekly declared its wish that `` M. Bartholdi and our French cousins had ' gone the whole figure ' while they were about it , and given us statue and pedestal at once . '' The New York Times stated that `` no true patriot can countenance any such expenditures for bronze females in the present state of our finances . '' Faced with these criticisms , the American committees took little action for several years . Design Frank Leslie 's Illustrated Newspaper , June 1885 , showing ( clockwise from left ) woodcuts of the completed statue in Paris , Bartholdi , and the statue 's interior structure The foundation of Bartholdi 's statue was to be laid inside Fort Wood , a disused army base on Bedloe 's Island constructed between 1807 and 1811 . Since 1823 , it had rarely been used , though during the Civil War , it had served as a recruiting station . The fortifications of the structure were in the shape of an eleven - point star . The statue 's foundation and pedestal were aligned so that it would face southeast , greeting ships entering the harbor from the Atlantic Ocean . In 1881 , the New York committee commissioned Richard Morris Hunt to design the pedestal . Within months , Hunt submitted a detailed plan , indicating that he expected construction to take about nine months . He proposed a pedestal 114 feet ( 35 m ) in height ; faced with money problems , the committee reduced that to 89 feet ( 27 m ) . Hunt 's pedestal design contains elements of classical architecture , including Doric portals , as well as some elements influenced by Aztec architecture . The large mass is fragmented with architectural detail , in order to focus attention on the statue . In form , it is a truncated pyramid , 62 feet ( 19 m ) square at the base and 39.4 feet ( 12.0 m ) at the top . The four sides are identical in appearance . Above the door on each side , there are ten disks upon which Bartholdi proposed to place the coats of arms of the states ( between 1876 and 1889 , there were 38 U.S. states ) , although this was not done . Above that , a balcony was placed on each side , framed by pillars . Bartholdi placed an observation platform near the top of the pedestal , above which the statue itself rises . According to author Louis Auchincloss , the pedestal `` craggily evokes the power of an ancient Europe over which rises the dominating figure of the Statue of Liberty '' . The committee hired former army General Charles Pomeroy Stone to oversee the construction work . Construction on the 15 - foot - deep ( 4.6 m ) foundation began in 1883 , and the pedestal 's cornerstone was laid in 1884 . In Hunt 's original conception , the pedestal was to have been made of solid granite . Financial concerns again forced him to revise his plans ; the final design called for poured concrete walls , up to 20 feet ( 6.1 m ) thick , faced with granite blocks . This Stony Creek granite came from the Beattie Quarry in Branford , Connecticut . The concrete mass was the largest poured to that time . Norwegian immigrant civil engineer Joachim Goschen Giæver designed the structural framework for the Statue of Liberty . His work involved design computations , detailed fabrication and construction drawings , and oversight of construction . In completing his engineering for the statue 's frame , Giæver worked from drawings and sketches produced by Gustave Eiffel . Fundraising Unpacking of the face of the Statue of Liberty , which was delivered on June 17 , 1885 Fundraising for the statue had begun in 1882 . The committee organized a large number of money - raising events . As part of one such effort , an auction of art and manuscripts , poet Emma Lazarus was asked to donate an original work . She initially declined , stating she could not write a poem about a statue . At the time , she was also involved in aiding refugees to New York who had fled anti-Semitic pogroms in eastern Europe . These refugees were forced to live in conditions that the wealthy Lazarus had never experienced . She saw a way to express her empathy for these refugees in terms of the statue . The resulting sonnet , `` The New Colossus '' , including the iconic lines `` Give me your tired , your poor / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free '' , is uniquely identified with the Statue of Liberty and is inscribed on a plaque in the museum in its base . Even with these efforts , fundraising lagged . Grover Cleveland , the governor of New York , vetoed a bill to provide $50,000 for the statue project in 1884 . An attempt the next year to have Congress provide $100,000 , sufficient to complete the project , also failed . The New York committee , with only $3,000 in the bank , suspended work on the pedestal . With the project in jeopardy , groups from other American cities , including Boston and Philadelphia , offered to pay the full cost of erecting the statue in return for relocating it . Joseph Pulitzer , publisher of the New York World , a New York newspaper , announced a drive to raise $100,000 -- the equivalent of $2.3 million today . Pulitzer pledged to print the name of every contributor , no matter how small the amount given . The drive captured the imagination of New Yorkers , especially when Pulitzer began publishing the notes he received from contributors . `` A young girl alone in the world '' donated `` 60 cents , the result of self denial . '' One donor gave `` five cents as a poor office boy 's mite toward the Pedestal Fund . '' A group of children sent a dollar as `` the money we saved to go to the circus with . '' Another dollar was given by a `` lonely and very aged woman . '' Residents of a home for alcoholics in New York 's rival city of Brooklyn -- the cities would not merge until 1898 -- donated $15 ; other drinkers helped out through donation boxes in bars and saloons . A kindergarten class in Davenport , Iowa , mailed the World a gift of $1.35 . As the donations flooded in , the committee resumed work on the pedestal . Construction On June 17 , 1885 , the French steamer Isère , laden with the Statue of Liberty , reached the New York port safely . New Yorkers displayed their new - found enthusiasm for the statue , as the French vessel arrived with the crates holding the disassembled statue on board . Two hundred thousand people lined the docks and hundreds of boats put to sea to welcome the Isère . After five months of daily calls to donate to the statue fund , on August 11 , 1885 , the World announced that $102,000 had been raised from 120,000 donors , and that 80 percent of the total had been received in sums of less than one dollar . Even with the success of the fund drive , the pedestal was not completed until April 1886 . Immediately thereafter , reassembly of the statue began . Eiffel 's iron framework was anchored to steel I - beams within the concrete pedestal and assembled . Once this was done , the sections of skin were carefully attached . Due to the width of the pedestal , it was not possible to erect scaffolding , and workers dangled from ropes while installing the skin sections . Nevertheless , no one died during the construction . Bartholdi had planned to put floodlights on the torch 's balcony to illuminate it ; a week before the dedication , the Army Corps of Engineers vetoed the proposal , fearing that ships ' pilots passing the statue would be blinded . Instead , Bartholdi cut portholes in the torch -- which was covered with gold leaf -- and placed the lights inside them . A power plant was installed on the island to light the torch and for other electrical needs . After the skin was completed , renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted , co-designer of New York 's Central Park and Brooklyn 's Prospect Park , supervised a cleanup of Bedloe 's Island in anticipation of the dedication . Dedication Unveiling of the Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World ( 1886 ) by Edward Moran . Oil on canvas . The J. Clarence Davies Collection , Museum of the City of New York . A ceremony of dedication was held on the afternoon of October 28 , 1886 . President Grover Cleveland , the former New York governor , presided over the event . On the morning of the dedication , a parade was held in New York City ; estimates of the number of people who watched it ranged from several hundred thousand to a million . President Cleveland headed the procession , then stood in the reviewing stand to see bands and marchers from across America . General Stone was the grand marshal of the parade . The route began at Madison Square , once the venue for the arm , and proceeded to the Battery at the southern tip of Manhattan by way of Fifth Avenue and Broadway , with a slight detour so the parade could pass in front of the World building on Park Row . As the parade passed the New York Stock Exchange , traders threw ticker tape from the windows , beginning the New York tradition of the ticker - tape parade . A nautical parade began at 12 : 45 p.m. , and President Cleveland embarked on a yacht that took him across the harbor to Bedloe 's Island for the dedication . De Lesseps made the first speech , on behalf of the French committee , followed by the chairman of the New York committee , Senator William M. Evarts . A French flag draped across the statue 's face was to be lowered to unveil the statue at the close of Evarts 's speech , but Bartholdi mistook a pause as the conclusion and let the flag fall prematurely . The ensuing cheers put an end to Evarts 's address . President Cleveland spoke next , stating that the statue 's `` stream of light shall pierce the darkness of ignorance and man 's oppression until Liberty enlightens the world '' . Bartholdi , observed near the dais , was called upon to speak , but he declined . Orator Chauncey M. Depew concluded the speechmaking with a lengthy address . No members of the general public were permitted on the island during the ceremonies , which were reserved entirely for dignitaries . The only females granted access were Bartholdi 's wife and de Lesseps 's granddaughter ; officials stated that they feared women might be injured in the crush of people . The restriction offended area suffragists , who chartered a boat and got as close as they could to the island . The group 's leaders made speeches applauding the embodiment of Liberty as a woman and advocating women 's right to vote . A scheduled fireworks display was postponed until November 1 because of poor weather . Shortly after the dedication , The Cleveland Gazette , an African American newspaper , suggested that the statue 's torch not be lit until the United States became a free nation `` in reality '' : `` Liberty enlightening the world , '' indeed ! The expression makes us sick . This government is a howling farce . It can not or rather does not protect its citizens within its own borders . Shove the Bartholdi statue , torch and all , into the ocean until the `` liberty '' of this country is such as to make it possible for an inoffensive and industrious colored man to earn a respectable living for himself and family , without being ku - kluxed , perhaps murdered , his daughter and wife outraged , and his property destroyed . The idea of the `` liberty '' of this country `` enlightening the world , '' or even Patagonia , is ridiculous in the extreme . After dedication Lighthouse Board and War Department ( 1886 -- 1933 ) Statue of Liberty ca . 1900 Government poster using the Statue of Liberty to promote the sale of Liberty Bonds When the torch was illuminated on the evening of the statue 's dedication , it produced only a faint gleam , barely visible from Manhattan . The World characterized it as `` more like a glowworm than a beacon . '' Bartholdi suggested gilding the statue to increase its ability to reflect light , but this proved too expensive . The United States Lighthouse Board took over the Statue of Liberty in 1887 and pledged to install equipment to enhance the torch 's effect ; in spite of its efforts , the statue remained virtually invisible at night . When Bartholdi returned to the United States in 1893 , he made additional suggestions , all of which proved ineffective . He did successfully lobby for improved lighting within the statue , allowing visitors to better appreciate Eiffel 's design . In 1901 , President Theodore Roosevelt , once a member of the New York committee , ordered the statue 's transfer to the War Department , as it had proved useless as a lighthouse . A unit of the Army Signal Corps was stationed on Bedloe 's Island until 1923 , after which military police remained there while the island was under military jurisdiction . The statue rapidly became a landmark . Many immigrants who entered through New York saw it as a welcoming sight . Oral histories of immigrants record their feelings of exhilaration on first viewing the Statue of Liberty . One immigrant who arrived from Greece recalled , I saw the Statue of Liberty . And I said to myself , `` Lady , you 're such a beautiful ! ( sic ) You opened your arms and you get all the foreigners here . Give me a chance to prove that I am worth it , to do something , to be someone in America . '' And always that statue was on my mind . Originally , the statue was a dull copper color , but shortly after 1900 a green patina , also called verdigris , caused by the oxidation of the copper skin , began to spread . As early as 1902 it was mentioned in the press ; by 1906 it had entirely covered the statue . Believing that the patina was evidence of corrosion , Congress authorized US $62,800 ( equivalent to $1,673,969 in 2016 ) for various repairs , and to paint the statue both inside and out . There was considerable public protest against the proposed exterior painting . The Army Corps of Engineers studied the patina for any ill effects to the statue and concluded that it protected the skin , `` softened the outlines of the Statue and made it beautiful . '' The statue was painted only on the inside . The Corps of Engineers also installed an elevator to take visitors from the base to the top of the pedestal . On July 30 , 1916 , during World War I , German saboteurs set off a disastrous explosion on the Black Tom peninsula in Jersey City , New Jersey , in what is now part of Liberty State Park , close to Bedloe 's Island . Carloads of dynamite and other explosives that were being sent to Britain and France for their war efforts were detonated , and seven people were killed . The statue sustained minor damage , mostly to the torch - bearing right arm , and was closed for ten days . The cost to repair the statue and buildings on the island was about US $100,000 ( equivalent to $2,200,917 in 2016 ) . The narrow ascent to the torch was closed for public - safety reasons , and it has remained closed ever since . That same year , Ralph Pulitzer , who had succeeded his father Joseph as publisher of the World , began a drive to raise US $30,000 ( equivalent to $660,275 in 2016 ) for an exterior lighting system to illuminate the statue at night . He claimed over 80,000 contributors , but failed to reach the goal . The difference was quietly made up by a gift from a wealthy donor -- a fact that was not revealed until 1936 . An underwater power cable brought electricity from the mainland and floodlights were placed along the walls of Fort Wood . Gutzon Borglum , who later sculpted Mount Rushmore , redesigned the torch , replacing much of the original copper with stained glass . On December 2 , 1916 , President Woodrow Wilson pressed the telegraph key that turned on the lights , successfully illuminating the statue . After the United States entered World War I in 1917 , images of the statue were heavily used in both recruitment posters and the Liberty Bond drives that urged American citizens to support the war financially . This impressed upon the public the war 's stated purpose -- to secure liberty -- and served as a reminder that embattled France had given the United States the statue . In 1924 , President Calvin Coolidge used his authority under the Antiquities Act to declare the statue a National Monument . The only successful suicide in the statue 's history occurred five years later , when a man climbed out of one of the windows in the crown and jumped to his death , glancing off the statue 's breast and landing on the base . Early National Park Service years ( 1933 -- 1982 ) Bedloe 's Island in 1927 , showing the statue and army buildings . The eleven - pointed walls of Fort Wood , which still form the statue 's base , are visible . In 1933 , President Franklin Roosevelt ordered the statue to be transferred to the National Park Service ( NPS ) . In 1937 , the NPS gained jurisdiction over the rest of Bedloe 's Island . With the Army 's departure , the NPS began to transform the island into a park . The Works Progress Administration ( WPA ) demolished most of the old buildings , regraded and reseeded the eastern end of the island , and built granite steps for a new public entrance to the statue from its rear . The WPA also carried out restoration work within the statue , temporarily removing the rays from the statue 's halo so their rusted supports could be replaced . Rusted cast - iron steps in the pedestal were replaced with new ones made of reinforced concrete ; the upper parts of the stairways within the statue were replaced , as well . Copper sheathing was installed to prevent further damage from rainwater that had been seeping into the pedestal . The statue was closed to the public from May until December 1938 . During World War II , the statue remained open to visitors , although it was not illuminated at night due to wartime blackouts . It was lit briefly on December 31 , 1943 , and on D - Day , June 6 , 1944 , when its lights flashed `` dot - dot - dot - dash '' , the Morse code for V , for victory . New , powerful lighting was installed in 1944 -- 1945 , and beginning on V-E Day , the statue was once again illuminated after sunset . The lighting was for only a few hours each evening , and it was not until 1957 that the statue was illuminated every night , all night . In 1946 , the interior of the statue within reach of visitors was coated with a special plastic so that graffiti could be washed away . In 1956 , an Act of Congress officially renamed Bedloe 's Island as Liberty Island , a change advocated by Bartholdi generations earlier . The act also mentioned the efforts to found an American Museum of Immigration on the island , which backers took as federal approval of the project , though the government was slow to grant funds for it . Nearby Ellis Island was made part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument by proclamation of President Lyndon Johnson in 1965 . In 1972 , the immigration museum , in the statue 's base , was finally opened in a ceremony led by President Richard Nixon . The museum 's backers never provided it with an endowment to secure its future and it closed in 1991 after the opening of an immigration museum on Ellis Island . September 26 , 1972 : President Richard Nixon visits the statue to open the American Museum of Immigration . The statue 's raised right foot is visible , showing that it is depicted moving forward . In 1970 , Ivy Bottini led a demonstration at the statue where she and others from the National Organization for Women 's New York chapter draped an enormous banner over a railing which read `` WOMEN OF THE WORLD UNITE ! '' Beginning December 26 , 1971 , 15 anti-Vietnam War veterans occupied the statue , flying a US flag upside down from her crown . They left December 28 following a Federal Court order . The statue was also several times taken over briefly by demonstrators publicizing causes such as Puerto Rican independence , opposition to abortion , and opposition to US intervention in Grenada . Demonstrations with the permission of the Park Service included a Gay Pride Parade rally and the annual Captive Baltic Nations rally . A powerful new lighting system was installed in advance of the American Bicentennial in 1976 . The statue was the focal point for Operation Sail , a regatta of tall ships from all over the world that entered New York Harbor on July 4 , 1976 , and sailed around Liberty Island . The day concluded with a spectacular display of fireworks near the statue . Renovation and rededication ( 1982 -- 2000 ) July 4 , 1986 : First Lady Nancy Reagan ( in red ) reopens the statue to the public . Main article : Conservation - restoration of the Statue of Liberty See also : Liberty Weekend The statue was examined in great detail by French and American engineers as part of the planning for its centennial in 1986 . In 1982 , it was announced that the statue was in need of considerable restoration . Careful study had revealed that the right arm had been improperly attached to the main structure . It was swaying more and more when strong winds blew and there was a significant risk of structural failure . In addition , the head had been installed 2 feet ( 0.61 m ) off center , and one of the rays was wearing a hole in the right arm when the statue moved in the wind . The armature structure was badly corroded , and about two percent of the exterior plates needed to be replaced . Although problems with the armature had been recognized as early as 1936 , when cast iron replacements for some of the bars had been installed , much of the corrosion had been hidden by layers of paint applied over the years . In May 1982 , President Ronald Reagan announced the formation of the Statue of Liberty -- Ellis Island Centennial Commission , led by Chrysler Corporation chair Lee Iacocca , to raise the funds needed to complete the work . Through its fundraising arm , the Statue of Liberty -- Ellis Island Foundation , Inc. , the group raised more than $350 million in donations . The Statue of Liberty was one of the earliest beneficiaries of a cause marketing campaign . A 1983 promotion advertised that for each purchase made with an American Express card , the company would contribute one cent to the renovation of the statue . The campaign generated contributions of $1.7 million to the restoration project . In 1984 , the statue was closed to the public for the duration of the renovation . Workers erected the world 's largest free - standing scaffold , which obscured the statue from view . Liquid nitrogen was used to remove layers of paint that had been applied to the interior of the copper skin over decades , leaving two layers of coal tar , originally applied to plug leaks and prevent corrosion . Blasting with baking soda powder removed the tar without further damaging the copper . The restorers ' work was hampered by the asbestos - based substance that Bartholdi had used -- ineffectively , as inspections showed -- to prevent galvanic corrosion . Workers within the statue had to wear protective gear , dubbed `` moon suits '' , with self - contained breathing circuits . Larger holes in the copper skin were repaired , and new copper was added where necessary . The replacement skin was taken from a copper rooftop at Bell Labs , which had a patina that closely resembled the statue 's ; in exchange , the laboratory was provided some of the old copper skin for testing . The torch , found to have been leaking water since the 1916 alterations , was replaced with an exact replica of Bartholdi 's unaltered torch . Consideration was given to replacing the arm and shoulder ; the National Park Service insisted that they be repaired instead . The original torch was removed and replaced in 1986 with the current one , whose flame is covered in 24 - carat gold . The torch reflects the sun 's rays in daytime and is lighted by floodlights at night . Liberty Enlightening the World The entire puddled iron armature designed by Gustave Eiffel was replaced . Low - carbon corrosion - resistant stainless steel bars that now hold the staples next to the skin are made of Ferralium , an alloy that bends slightly and returns to its original shape as the statue moves . To prevent the ray and arm making contact , the ray was realigned by several degrees . The lighting was again replaced -- night - time illumination subsequently came from metal - halide lamps that send beams of light to particular parts of the pedestal or statue , showing off various details . Access to the pedestal , which had been through a nondescript entrance built in the 1960s , was renovated to create a wide opening framed by a set of monumental bronze doors with designs symbolic of the renovation . A modern elevator was installed , allowing handicapped access to the observation area of the pedestal . An emergency elevator was installed within the statue , reaching up to the level of the shoulder . July 3 -- 6 , 1986 , was designated `` Liberty Weekend '' , marking the centennial of the statue and its reopening . President Reagan presided over the rededication , with French President François Mitterrand in attendance . July 4 saw a reprise of Operation Sail , and the statue was reopened to the public on July 5 . In Reagan 's dedication speech , he stated , `` We are the keepers of the flame of liberty ; we hold it high for the world to see . '' Closures and reopenings ( 2001 -- present ) The Statue of Liberty on September 11 , 2001 as the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center burn in the background Following the September 11 attacks , the statue and Liberty Island were immediately closed to the public . The island reopened at the end of 2001 , while the pedestal and statue remained off - limits . The pedestal reopened in August 2004 , but the National Park Service announced that visitors could not safely be given access to the statue due to the difficulty of evacuation in an emergency . The Park Service adhered to that position through the remainder of the Bush administration . New York Congressman Anthony Weiner made the statue 's reopening a personal crusade . On May 17 , 2009 , President Barack Obama 's Secretary of the Interior , Ken Salazar , announced that as a `` special gift '' to America , the statue would be reopened to the public as of July 4 , but that only a limited number of people would be permitted to ascend to the crown each day . The statue , including the pedestal and base , closed on October 29 , 2011 , for installation of new elevators and staircases and to bring other facilities , such as restrooms , up to code . The statue was reopened on October 28 , 2012 , only to close again a day later due to Hurricane Sandy . Although the storm did not harm the statue , it destroyed some of the infrastructure on both Liberty Island and Ellis Island , severely damaging the dock used by the ferries bearing visitors to the statue . On November 8 , 2012 , a Park Service spokesperson announced that both islands would remain closed for an indefinite period for repairs to be done . Due to lack of electricity on Liberty Island , a generator was installed to power temporary floodlights to illuminate the statue at night . The superintendent of Statue of Liberty National Monument , David Luchsinger , whose home on the island was severely damaged , stated that it would be `` optimistically ... months '' before the island was reopened to the public . The statue and Liberty Island reopened to the public on July 4 , 2013 . Ellis Island remained closed for repairs for several more months but reopened in late October 2013 . For part of October 2013 , Liberty Island was closed to the public due to the United States federal government shutdown of 2013 , along with other federally funded museums , parks , monuments , construction projects and buildings . On October 7 , 2016 , construction started on a new Statue of Liberty museum on Liberty Island . The new $70 million , 26,000 - square - foot ( 2,400 m ) museum will be able to accommodate all of the island 's visitors when it opens in 2019 , as opposed to the current museum , which only 20 % of the island 's visitors can visit . The original torch will be relocated here , and in addition to exhibits relating to the statue 's construction and history , there will be a theater where visitors can watch an aerial view of the statue . The museum , designed by FXFOWLE Architects , will integrate with the parkland around it . It is being funded privately by Diane von Fürstenberg , Michael Bloomberg , Jeff Bezos , Coca - Cola , NBCUniversal , the family of Laurence Tisch and Preston Robert Tisch , Mellody Hobson , and George Lucas . Von Fürstenberg heads the fundraising for the museum , and the project had garnered more than $40 million in fundraising as of groundbreaking . Access and attributes Location and tourism Tourists aboard a Circle Line ferry arriving at Liberty Island , June 1973 The statue is situated in Upper New York Bay on Liberty Island south of Ellis Island , which together comprise the Statue of Liberty National Monument . Both islands were ceded by New York to the federal government in 1800 . As agreed in an 1834 compact between New York and New Jersey that set the state border at the bay 's midpoint , the original islands remain New York territory despite their location on the New Jersey side of the state line . Liberty Island is one of the islands that are part of the borough of Manhattan in New York . Land created by reclamation added to the 2.3 acres ( 0.93 ha ) original island at Ellis Island is New Jersey territory . No charge is made for entrance to the national monument , but there is a cost for the ferry service that all visitors must use , as private boats may not dock at the island . A concession was granted in 2007 to Statue Cruises to operate the transportation and ticketing facilities , replacing Circle Line , which had operated the service since 1953 . The ferries , which depart from Liberty State Park in Jersey City and Battery Park in Lower Manhattan , also stop at Ellis Island when it is open to the public , making a combined trip possible . All ferry riders are subject to security screening , similar to airport procedures , prior to boarding . Visitors intending to enter the statue 's base and pedestal must obtain a complimentary museum / pedestal ticket along with their ferry ticket . Those wishing to climb the staircase within the statue to the crown purchase a special ticket , which may be reserved up to a year in advance . A total of 240 people per day are permitted to ascend : ten per group , three groups per hour . Climbers may bring only medication and cameras -- lockers are provided for other items -- and must undergo a second security screening . Inscriptions , plaques , and dedications The Statue of Liberty stands on Liberty Island . There are several plaques and dedicatory tablets on or near the Statue of Liberty . A plaque on the copper just under the figure in front declares that it is a colossal statue representing Liberty , designed by Bartholdi and built by the Paris firm of Gaget , Gauthier et Cie ( Cie is the French abbreviation analogous to Co . ) . A presentation tablet , also bearing Bartholdi 's name , declares the statue is a gift from the people of the Republic of France that honors `` the Alliance of the two Nations in achieving the Independence of the United States of America and attests their abiding friendship . '' A tablet placed by the New York committee commemorates the fundraising done to build the pedestal . The cornerstone bears a plaque placed by the Freemasons . In 1903 , a bronze tablet that bears the text of Emma Lazarus 's sonnet , `` The New Colossus '' ( 1883 ) , was presented by friends of the poet . Until the 1986 renovation , it was mounted inside the pedestal ; today it resides in the Statue of Liberty Museum , in the base . `` The New Colossus '' tablet is accompanied by a tablet given by the Emma Lazarus Commemorative Committee in 1977 , celebrating the poet 's life . A group of statues stands at the western end of the island , honoring those closely associated with the Statue of Liberty . Two Americans -- Pulitzer and Lazarus -- and three Frenchmen -- Bartholdi , Eiffel , and Laboulaye -- are depicted . They are the work of Maryland sculptor Phillip Ratner . UNESCO World Heritage site In 1984 , the Statue of Liberty was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site . The UNESCO `` Statement of Significance '' describes the statue as a `` masterpiece of the human spirit '' that `` endures as a highly potent symbol -- inspiring contemplation , debate and protest -- of ideals such as liberty , peace , human rights , abolition of slavery , democracy and opportunity .

A smaller version of the statue , one - fourth the height of the original , was given by the American community in Paris to that city . It now stands on the Île aux Cygnes , facing west toward her larger sister . A replica 30 feet ( 9.1 m ) tall stood atop the Liberty Warehouse on West 64th Street in Manhattan for many years ; it now resides at the Brooklyn Museum . In a patriotic tribute , the Boy Scouts of America , as part of their Strengthen the Arm of Liberty campaign in 1949 -- 1952 , donated about two hundred replicas of the statue , made of stamped copper and 100 inches ( 2,500 mm ) in height , to states and municipalities across the United States . Though not a true replica , the statue known as the Goddess of Democracy temporarily erected during the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 was similarly inspired by French democratic traditions -- the sculptors took care to avoid a direct imitation of the Statue of Liberty . Among other recreations of New York City structures , a replica of the statue is part of the exterior of the New York - New York Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas . Head of Liberty , U.S. airmail stamp , 1971 issue Reverse side of a Presidential Dollar coin As an American icon , the Statue of Liberty has been depicted on the country 's coinage and stamps . It appeared on commemorative coins issued to mark its 1986 centennial , and on New York 's 2001 entry in the state quarters series . An image of the statue was chosen for the American Eagle platinum bullion coins in 1997 , and it was placed on the reverse , or tails , side of the Presidential Dollar series of circulating coins . Two images of the statue 's torch appear on the current ten - dollar bill . The statue 's intended photographic depiction on a 2010 forever stamp proved instead to be of the replica at the Las Vegas casino . Depictions of the statue have been used by many regional institutions . Between 1986 and 2000 , New York State issued license plates with an outline of the statue to either the front or the side of the serial number . The Women 's National Basketball Association 's New York Liberty use both the statue 's name and its image in their logo , in which the torch 's flame doubles as a basketball . The New York Rangers of the National Hockey League depicted the statue 's head on their third jersey , beginning in 1997 . The National Collegiate Athletic Association 's 1996 Men 's Basketball Final Four , played at New Jersey 's Meadowlands Sports Complex , featured the statue in its logo . The Libertarian Party of the United States uses the statue in its emblem . The statue is a frequent subject in popular culture . In music , it has been evoked to indicate support for American policies , as in Toby Keith 's song `` Courtesy of the Red , White and Blue ( The Angry American ) '' , and in opposition , appearing on the cover of the Dead Kennedys ' album Bedtime for Democracy , which protested the Reagan administration . In film , the torch is the setting for the climax of director Alfred Hitchcock 's 1942 movie Saboteur . The statue makes one of its most famous cinematic appearances in the 1968 picture Planet of the Apes , in which it is seen half - buried in sand . It is knocked over in the science - fiction film Independence Day and in Cloverfield the head is ripped off . In Jack Finney 's time - travel novel Time and Again , the right arm of the statue , on display in the early 1880s in Madison Square Park , plays a crucial role . Robert Holdstock , consulting editor of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction , wondered in 1979 , Where would science fiction be without the Statue of Liberty ? For decades it has towered or crumbled above the wastelands of deserted ( E ) arth -- giants have uprooted it , aliens have found it curious ... the symbol of Liberty , of optimism , has become a symbol of science fiction 's pessimistic view of the future .

Prior to European colonization , the lands encompassing present - day Canada were inhabited for millennia by Indigenous peoples , with distinct trade networks , spiritual beliefs , and styles of social organization . Some of these older civilizations had long faded by the time of the first European arrivals and have been discovered through archaeological investigations . Starting in the late 15th century , French and British expeditions explored , colonized , and fought over various places within North America in what constitutes present - day Canada . The colony of New France was established in 1534 and was ceded to the United Kingdom in 1763 after the French defeat in the Seven Years ' War . The now British Province of Quebec was divided into Upper and Lower Canada in 1791 and reunified in 1841 . In 1867 , the Province of Canada was joined with two other British colonies of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia through Confederation , forming a self - governing entity named Canada . The new dominion expanded by incorporating other parts of British North America , finishing with Newfoundland and Labrador in 1949 . Although responsible government had existed in Canada since 1848 , Britain continued to set its foreign and defence policies until the end of the First World War . The passing of the Statute of Westminster in 1931 recognized that Canada had become co-equal with the United Kingdom . After the Constitution was patriated in 1982 , the final vestiges of legal dependence on the British parliament were removed . Canada currently consists of ten provinces and three territories and is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state . Over centuries , elements of Indigenous , French , British and more recent immigrant customs have combined to form a Canadian culture that has also been strongly influenced by its linguistic , geographic and economic neighbour , the United States . Since the conclusion of the Second World War , Canadians have supported multi-lateralism abroad and socioeconomic development domestically .

Archeological and Indigenous genetic evidence indicate that North and South America were the last continents into which humans migrated . During the Wisconsin glaciation , 50,000 -- 17,000 years ago , falling sea levels allowed people to move gradually across the Bering land bridge ( Beringia ) , from Siberia into northwest North America . At that point , they were blocked by the Laurentide ice sheet that covered most of Canada , confining them to Alaska and the Yukon for thousands of years . The exact dates and routes of the peopling of the Americas are the subject of an ongoing debate . By 16,000 years ago the glacial melt allowed people to move by land south and east out of Beringia , and into Canada . The Queen Charlotte Islands , Old Crow Flats , and Bluefish Caves contain some of the earliest Paleo - Indian archaeological sites in Canada . Ice Age hunter - gatherers of this period left lithic flake fluted stone tools and the remains of large butchered mammals . The North American climate stabilized around 8000 BCE ( 10,000 years ago ) . Climatic conditions were similar to modern patterns ; however , the receding glacial ice sheets still covered large portions of the land , creating lakes of meltwater . Most population groups during the Archaic periods were still highly mobile hunter - gatherers . However , individual groups started to focus on resources available to them locally ; thus with the passage of time , there is a pattern of increasing regional generalization ( i.e. : Paleo - Arctic , Plano and Maritime Archaic traditions ) . PP Great Lakes area of the Hopewell Interaction Area PP = Point Peninsula Complex S = Saugeen Complex L = Laurel Complex The Woodland cultural period dates from about 2000 BCE to 1000 CE and is applied to the Ontario , Quebec , and Maritime regions . The introduction of pottery distinguishes the Woodland culture from the previous Archaic - stage inhabitants . The Laurentian - related people of Ontario manufactured the oldest pottery excavated to date in Canada . The Hopewell tradition is an Indigenous culture that flourished along American rivers from 300 BCE to 500 CE . At its greatest extent , the Hopewell Exchange System connected cultures and societies to the peoples on the Canadian shores of Lake Ontario . Canadian expression of the Hopewellian peoples encompasses the Point Peninsula , Saugeen , and Laurel complexes . The eastern woodland areas of what became Canada were home to the Algonquian and Iroquoian peoples . The Algonquian language is believed to have originated in the western plateau of Idaho or the plains of Montana and moved with migrants eastward , eventually extending in various manifestations all the way from Hudson Bay to what is today Nova Scotia in the east and as far south as the Tidewater region of Virginia . Pre-Columbian distribution of Algonquian languages in North America . Speakers of eastern Algonquian languages included the Mi'kmaq and Abenaki of the Maritime region of Canada and likely the extinct Beothuk of Newfoundland . The Ojibwa and other Anishinaabe speakers of the central Algonquian languages retain an oral tradition of having moved to their lands around the western and central Great Lakes from the sea , likely the Atlantic coast . According to oral tradition , the Ojibwa formed the Council of Three Fires in 796 CE with the Odawa and the Potawatomi . The Five Nations of the Iroquois ( Haudenosaunee ) were centred from at least 1000 CE in northern New York , but their influence extended into what is now southern Ontario and the Montreal area of modern Quebec . They spoke varieties of Iroquoian languages . The Iroquois Confederacy , according to oral tradition , was formed in 1142 CE . In addition , there were other Iroquoian - speaking peoples in the area , including the St. Lawrence Iroquoians , the Erie , and others . On the Great Plains , the Cree or Nēhilawē ( who spoke a closely related Central Algonquian language , the plains Cree language ) depended on the vast herds of bison to supply food and many of their other needs . To the northwest were the peoples of the Na - Dene languages , which include the Athapaskan - speaking peoples and the Tlingit , who lived on the islands of southern Alaska and northern British Columbia . The Na - Dene language group is believed to be linked to the Yeniseian languages of Siberia . The Dene of the western Arctic may represent a distinct wave of migration from Asia to North America . Pre-Columbian distribution of Na - Dene languages in North America The Interior of British Columbia was home to the Salishan language groups such as the Shuswap ( Secwepemc ) , Okanagan and southern Athabaskan language groups , primarily the Dakelh ( Carrier ) and the Tsilhqot'in . The inlets and valleys of the British Columbia Coast sheltered large , distinctive populations , such as the Haida , Kwakwaka'wakw and Nuu - chah - nulth , sustained by the region 's abundant salmon and shellfish . These peoples developed complex cultures dependent on the western red cedar that included wooden houses , seagoing whaling and war canoes and elaborately carved potlatch items and totem poles . In the Arctic archipelago , the distinctive Paleo - Eskimos known as Dorset peoples , whose culture has been traced back to around 500 BCE , were replaced by the ancestors of today 's Inuit by 1500 CE . This transition is supported by archaeological records and Inuit mythology that tells of having driven off the Tuniit or ' first inhabitants ' . Inuit traditional laws are anthropologically different from Western law . Customary law was non-existent in Inuit society before the introduction of the Canadian legal system . European Contact ( edit ) L'Anse aux Meadows on the island of Newfoundland , site of a Norsemen colony about year 1000 . Further information : European colonization of the Americas There are reports of contact made before the 1492 voyages of Christopher Columbus and the age of discovery between First Nations , Inuit and those from other continents . The Norse , who had settled Greenland and Iceland , arrived around the year 1000 and built a small settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows at the northernmost tip of Newfoundland ( carbon dating estimate 990 -- 1050 CE ) L'Anse aux Meadows is also notable for its connection with the attempted colony of Vinland established by Leif Erikson around the same period or , more broadly , with Norse exploration of the Americas . A 1947 stamp celebrating John Cabot 's discovery of the Newfoundland coast Under letters patent from King Henry VII of England , the Italian John Cabot became the first European known to have landed in Canada after the time of the Vikings . Records indicate that on 24 June 1497 he sighted land at a northern location believed to be somewhere in the Atlantic provinces . Official tradition deemed the first landing site to be at Cape Bonavista , Newfoundland , although other locations are possible . After 1497 Cabot and his son Sebastian Cabot continued to make other voyages to find the Northwest Passage , and other explorers continued to sail out of England to the New World , although the details of these voyages are not well recorded . Based on the Treaty of Tordesillas , the Spanish Crown claimed it had territorial rights in the area visited by John Cabot in 1497 and 1498 CE . However , Portuguese explorers like João Fernandes Lavrador would continue to visit the north Atlantic coast , which accounts for the appearance of `` Labrador '' on topographical maps of the period . In 1501 and 1502 the Corte - Real brothers explored Newfoundland ( Terra Nova ) and Labrador claiming these lands as part of the Portuguese Empire . In 1506 , King Manuel I of Portugal created taxes for the cod fisheries in Newfoundland waters . João Álvares Fagundes and Pêro de Barcelos established fishing outposts in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia around 1521 CE ; however , these were later abandoned , with the Portuguese colonizers focusing their efforts on South America . The extent and nature of Portuguese activity on the Canadian mainland during the 16th century remains unclear and controversial . Canada under French rule ( 1534 -- 1763 ) ( edit ) Main articles : New France and Former colonies and territories in Canada Replica of Port Royal habitation , located at the Port - Royal National Historic Site of Canada , Nova Scotia . French interest in the New World began with Francis I of France , who in 1524 sponsored Giovanni da Verrazzano to navigate the region between Florida and Newfoundland in hopes of finding a route to the Pacific Ocean . Although the English had laid claims to it 1497 when John Cabot made landfall somewhere on the North American coast ( likely either modern - day Newfoundland or Nova Scotia ) and had claimed the land for England on behalf of King Henry VII , these claims were not exercised and England did not make any attempts at permanent colonization . For the French however , Jacques Cartier planted a cross in the Gaspé Peninsula in 1534 and claimed the land in the name of Francis I establishing a region called Canada the following summer . Permanent settlement attempts by Cartier at Charlesbourg - Royal in 1541 , at Sable Island in 1598 by Marquis de La Roche - Mesgouez , and at Tadoussac , Quebec in 1600 by François Gravé Du Pont had all eventually failed . Despite these initial failures , French fishing fleets sailed the Atlantic coast and into the St. Lawrence River , trading and making alliances with First Nations , as well as establishing fishing settlements such as in Percé in 1603 . As a result of France 's claim and activities in the colony of Canada , the name `` Canada '' was present on international maps denoting this colony within the St - Lawrence river region . In 1604 , a North American fur trade monopoly was granted to Pierre Du Gua , Sieur de Mons . The fur trade became one of the main economic ventures in North America . Du Gua led his first colonization expedition to an island located near the mouth of the St. Croix River . Among his lieutenants was a geographer named Samuel de Champlain , who promptly carried out a major exploration of the northeastern coastline of what is now the United States . In the spring of 1605 , under Samuel de Champlain , the new St. Croix settlement was moved to Port Royal ( today 's Annapolis Royal , Nova Scotia ) . Samuel de Champlain also landed at Saint John Harbour on June 24 , 1604 ( the feast of St. John the Baptist ) and is where the city of Saint John , New Brunswick and the Saint John River gets its name . Champlain 's Quebec City habitation c. 1608 In 1608 Champlain founded what is now Quebec City , one of the earliest permanent settlements , which would become the capital of New France . He took personal administration over the city and its affairs , and sent out expeditions to explore the interior . Champlain himself discovered Lake Champlain in 1609 . By 1615 , he had travelled by canoe up the Ottawa River through Lake Nipissing and Georgian Bay to the centre of Huron country near Lake Simcoe . During these voyages , Champlain aided the Wendat ( aka `` Hurons '' ) in their battles against the Iroquois Confederacy . As a result , the Iroquois would become enemies of the French and be involved in multiple conflicts ( known as the French and Iroquois Wars ) until the signing of the Great Peace of Montreal in 1701 . The English , led by Humphrey Gilbert , had claimed St. John 's , Newfoundland , in 1583 as the first North American English colony by royal prerogative of Queen Elizabeth I. In the reign of King James I , the English established additional colonies in Cupids and Ferryland , Newfoundland , and soon after established the first successful permanent settlements of Virginia to the south . On September 29 , 1621 , a charter for the foundation of a New World Scottish colony was granted by King James to Sir William Alexander . In 1622 , the first settlers left Scotland . They initially failed and permanent Nova Scotian settlements were not firmly established until 1629 during the end of the Anglo - French War . These colonies did not last long except the fisheries in Ferryland under Sir David Kirke . In 1631 , under Charles I of England , the Treaty of Suza was signed , ending the war and returning Nova Scotia to the French . New France was not fully restored to French rule until the 1632 Treaty of Saint - Germain - en - Laye . This led to new French immigrants and the founding of Trois - Rivières in 1634 . Following the establishment of Quebec and then Trois - Rivières , coureurs des bois and voyageurs spread quickly through the many rivers and lakes to trade with local First Nations . During this period , in contrast to the higher density and slower moving agricultural settlement development by the English inward from the east coast of the colonies , New France 's interior frontier would eventually cover an immense area with a thin network centred on fur trade , conversion efforts by missionaries , establishing and claiming an empire , and military efforts to protect and further those efforts . The largest of these canoe networks covered much of present - day Canada and central present - day United States . After Champlain 's death in 1635 , the Roman Catholic Church and the Jesuit establishment became the most dominant force in New France and hoped to establish a utopian European and Aboriginal Christian community . In 1642 , the Sulpicians sponsored a group of settlers led by Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve , who founded Ville - Marie , precursor to present - day Montreal . In 1663 the French crown took direct control of the colonies from the Company of New France . Although immigration rates to New France remained very low under direct French control , most of the new arrivals were farmers , and the rate of population growth among the settlers themselves had been very high . The women had about 30 per cent more children than comparable women who remained in France . Yves Landry says , `` Canadians had an exceptional diet for their time . '' This was due to the natural abundance of meat , fish , and pure water ; the good food conservation conditions during the winter ; and an adequate wheat supply in most years . The 1666 census of New France was conducted by France 's intendant , Jean Talon , in the winter of 1665 -- 1666 . The census showed a population count of 3,215 Acadians and habitants ( French - Canadian farmers ) in the administrative districts of Acadia and Canada . The census also revealed a great difference in the number of men at 2,034 versus 1,181 women . Wars during the Colonial era ( edit ) Further information : French and Indian Wars See also : Military history of Canada Map of North America in 1702 showing forts , towns and areas occupied by European settlements . Britain ( pink ) , France ( blue ) , and Spain ( orange ) By the early 1700s the New France settlers were well established along the shores of the Saint Lawrence River and parts of Nova Scotia , with a population around 16,000 . However new arrivals stopped coming from France in the proceeding decades , resulting in the English and Scottish settlers in Newfoundland , Nova Scotia , and the southern Thirteen Colonies to vastly outnumber the French population approximately ten to one by the 1750s . From 1670 , through the Hudson 's Bay Company , the English also laid claim to Hudson Bay and its drainage basin known as Rupert 's Land establishing new trading posts and forts , while continuing to operate fishing settlements in Newfoundland . French expansion along the Canadian canoe routes challenged the Hudson 's Bay Company claims , and in 1686 , Pierre Troyes led an overland expedition from Montreal to the shore of the bay , where they managed to capture a handful of outposts . La Salle 's explorations gave France a claim to the Mississippi River Valley , where fur trappers and a few settlers set up scattered forts and settlements . There were four French and Indian Wars and two additional wars in Acadia and Nova Scotia between the Thirteen American Colonies and New France from 1688 to 1763 . During King William 's War ( 1688 to 1697 ) , military conflicts in Acadia included : Battle of Port Royal ( 1690 ) ; a naval battle in the Bay of Fundy ( Action of July 14 , 1696 ) ; and the Raid on Chignecto ( 1696 ) . The Treaty of Ryswick in 1697 ended the war between the two colonial powers of England and France for a brief time . During Queen Anne 's War ( 1702 to 1713 ) , the British Conquest of Acadia occurred in 1710 , resulting in Nova Scotia , other than Cape Breton , being officially ceded to the British by the Treaty of Utrecht including Rupert 's Land , which France had conquered in the late 17th century ( Battle of Hudson 's Bay ) . As an immediate result of this setback , France founded the powerful Fortress of Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island . St. John River Campaign : Raid on Grimrose ( present day Gagetown , New Brunswick ) . This is the only contemporaneous image of the Expulsion of the Acadians Louisbourg was intended to serve as a year - round military and naval base for France 's remaining North American empire and to protect the entrance to the St. Lawrence River . Father Rale 's War resulted in both the fall of New France influence in present - day Maine and the British recognition of having to negotiate with the Mi'kmaq in Nova Scotia . During King George 's War ( 1744 to 1748 ) , an army of New Englanders led by William Pepperrell mounted an expedition of 90 vessels and 4,000 men against Louisbourg in 1745 . Within three months the fortress surrendered . The return of Louisbourg to French control by the peace treaty prompted the British to found Halifax in 1749 under Edward Cornwallis . Despite the official cessation of war between the British and French empires with the Treaty of Aix - la - Chapelle ; the conflict in Acadia and Nova Scotia continued on as the Father Le Loutre 's War . The British ordered the Acadians expelled from their lands in 1755 during the French and Indian War , an event called the Expulsion of the Acadians or le Grand Dérangement . The `` expulsion '' resulted in approximately 12,000 Acadians being shipped to destinations throughout Britain 's North America and to France , Quebec and the French Caribbean colony of Saint - Domingue . The first wave of the expulsion of the Acadians began with the Bay of Fundy Campaign ( 1755 ) and the second wave began after the final Siege of Louisbourg ( 1758 ) . Many of the Acadians settled in southern Louisiana , creating the Cajun culture there . Some Acadians managed to hide and others eventually returned to Nova Scotia , but they were far outnumbered by a new migration of New England Planters who were settled on the former lands of the Acadians and transformed Nova Scotia from a colony of occupation for the British to a settled colony with stronger ties to New England . Britain eventually gained control of Quebec City and Montreal after the Battle of the Plains of Abraham and Battle of Fort Niagara in 1759 , and the Battle of the Thousand Islands and Battle of Sainte - Foy in 1760 . Canada under British rule ( 1763 -- 1931 ) ( edit ) Main article : Canada under British rule Cession of New France to Britain ( edit ) Map showing British territorial gains following the `` Seven Years ' War '' . Treaty of Paris gains in pink , and Spanish territorial gains after the Treaty of Fontainebleau in yellow . With the end of the Seven Years ' War and the signing of the Treaty of Paris ( 1763 ) , France ceded almost all of its remaining territory in mainland North America , except for fishing rights off Newfoundland and the two small islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon where its fishermen could dry their fish . France had already secretly ceded its vast Louisiana territory to Spain under the Treaty of Fontainebleau ( 1762 ) in which King Louis XV of France had given his cousin King Charles III of Spain the entire area of the drainage basin of the Mississippi River from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico and from the Appalachian Mountains to the Rocky Mountains . France and Spain kept the Treaty of Fontainebleau secret from other countries until 1764 . In return for acquiring Canada , Britain returned to France its most important sugar - producing colony , Guadeloupe , which the French at the time considered more valuable than Canada . ( Guadeloupe produced more sugar than all the British islands combined , and Voltaire had notoriously dismissed Canada as `` Quelques arpents de neige '' , `` A few acres of snow '' ) . The new British rulers of Canada abolished and later reinstated most of the property , religious , political , and social culture of the French - speaking habitants , guaranteeing the right of the Canadiens to practice the Catholic faith and to the use of French civil law ( now Quebec Civil Code ) through the Quebec Act of 1774 . The Royal Proclamation of 1763 had been issued in October , by King George III following Great Britain 's acquisition of French territory . The proclamation organized Great Britain 's new North American empire and stabilized relations between the British Crown and Aboriginal peoples through regulation of trade , settlement , and land purchases on the western frontier . American Revolution and the Loyalists ( edit ) Further information : Invasion of Quebec ( 1775 ) Map of the routes taken by Arnold and Montgomery attack expeditions to Quebec During the American Revolution , there was some sympathy for the American cause among the Acadians and the New Englanders in Nova Scotia . Neither party joined the rebels , although several hundred individuals joined the revolutionary cause . An invasion of Quebec by the Continental Army in 1775 , with a goal to take Quebec from British control , was halted at the Battle of Quebec by Guy Carleton , with the assistance of local militias . The defeat of the British army during the Siege of Yorktown in October 1781 signaled the end of Britain 's struggle to suppress the American Revolution . When the British evacuated New York City in 1783 , they took many Loyalist refugees to Nova Scotia , while other Loyalists went to southwestern Quebec . So many Loyalists arrived on the shores of the St. John River that a separate colony -- New Brunswick -- was created in 1784 ; followed in 1791 by the division of Quebec into the largely French - speaking Lower Canada ( French Canada ) along the St. Lawrence River and Gaspé Peninsula and an anglophone Loyalist Upper Canada , with its capital settled by 1796 in York , in present - day Toronto . After 1790 most of the new settlers were American farmers searching for new lands ; although generally favorable to republicanism , they were relatively non-political and stayed neutral in the War of 1812 . In 1785 Saint John , New Brunswick became the first incorporated city in what would later become Canada . The signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783 formally ended the war . Britain made several concessions to the Americans at the expense of the North American colonies . Notably , the borders between Canada and the United States were officially demarcated ; all land south of the Great Lakes , which was formerly a part of the Province of Quebec and included modern day Michigan , Illinois and Ohio , was ceded to the Americans . Fishing rights were also granted to the United States in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and on the coast of Newfoundland and the Grand Banks . The British ignored part of the treaty and maintained their military outposts in the Great Lakes areas it had ceded to the U.S. , and they continued to supply their native allies with munitions . The British evacuated the outposts with the Jay Treaty of 1795 , but the continued supply of munitions irritated the Americans in the run - up to the War of 1812 . Canadian historians have had mixed views on the long - term impact of the American Revolution . Arthur Lower in the 1950s provided the long - standard historical interpretation that for English Canada the results were counter-revolutionary : ( English Canada ) inherited , not the benefits , but the bitterness of the Revolution ... . English Canada started its life with as powerful a nostalgic shove backward into the past as the Conquest had given to French Canada : two little peoples officially devoted to counter-revolution , to lost causes , to the tawdry ideals of a society of men and masters , and not to the self - reliant freedom alongside of them . Recently Michel Ducharme has agreed that Canada did indeed oppose `` republican liberty '' , as exemplified by the United States and France . However he says it did find a different path forward when it fought against British rulers after 1837 to secure `` modern liberty '' . That form of liberty focused not on the virtues of citizens but on protecting their rights from infringement by the state . War of 1812 ( edit ) Loyalist Laura Secord warning the British ( Lieutenant -- James FitzGibbon ) and First Nations of an impending American attack at Beaver Dams June 1813 . -- by Lorne Kidd Smith , c. 1920 Main articles : War of 1812 and Origins of the War of 1812 The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and the British , with the British North American colonies being heavily involved . Greatly outgunned by the British Royal Navy , the American war plans focused on an invasion of Canada ( especially what is today eastern and western Ontario ) . The American frontier states voted for war to suppress the First Nations raids that frustrated settlement of the frontier . The war on the border with the United States was characterized by a series of multiple failed invasions and fiascos on both sides . American forces took control of Lake Erie in 1813 , driving the British out of western Ontario , killing the Native American leader Tecumseh , and breaking the military power of his confederacy . The war was overseen by British army officers like Isaac Brock and Charles de Salaberry with the assistance of First Nations and loyalist informants , most notably Laura Secord . The War ended with no boundary changes thanks to the Treaty of Ghent of 1814 , and the Rush -- Bagot Treaty of 1817 . A demographic result was the shifting of the destination of American migration from Upper Canada to Ohio , Indiana and Michigan , without fear of Indian attacks . After the war , supporters of Britain tried to repress the republicanism that was common among American immigrants to Canada . The troubling memory of the war and the American invasions etched itself into the consciousness of Canadians as a distrust of the intentions of the United States towards the British presence in North America . Rebellions and the Durham Report ( edit ) Further information : Rebellions of 1837 The rebellions of 1837 against the British colonial government took place in both Upper and Lower Canada . In Upper Canada , a band of Reformers under the leadership of William Lyon Mackenzie took up arms in a disorganized and ultimately unsuccessful series of small - scale skirmishes around Toronto , London , and Hamilton . The Burning of the Parliament Buildings in Montreal − 1849 , Joseph Légaré , c. 1849 In Lower Canada , a more substantial rebellion occurred against British rule . Both English - and French - Canadian rebels , sometimes using bases in the neutral United States , fought several skirmishes against the authorities . The towns of Chambly and Sorel were taken by the rebels , and Quebec City was isolated from the rest of the colony . Montreal rebel leader Robert Nelson read the `` Declaration of Independence of Lower Canada '' to a crowd assembled at the town of Napierville in 1838 . The rebellion of the Patriote movement was defeated after battles across Quebec . Hundreds were arrested , and several villages were burnt in reprisal . British Government then sent Lord Durham to examine the situation ; he stayed in Canada only five months before returning to Britain and brought with him his Durham Report , which strongly recommended responsible government . A less well - received recommendation was the amalgamation of Upper and Lower Canada for the deliberate assimilation of the French - speaking population . The Canadas were merged into a single colony , the United Province of Canada , by the 1840 Act of Union , and responsible government was achieved in 1848 , a few months after it was accomplished in Nova Scotia . The parliament of United Canada in Montreal was set on fire by a mob of Tories in 1849 after the passing of an indemnity bill for the people who suffered losses during the rebellion in Lower Canada . Between the Napoleonic Wars and 1850 , some 800,000 immigrants came to the colonies of British North America , mainly from the British Isles , as part of the great migration of Canada . These included Gaelic - speaking Highland Scots displaced by the Highland Clearances to Nova Scotia and Scottish and English settlers to the Canadas , particularly Upper Canada . The Irish Famine of the 1840s significantly increased the pace of Irish Catholic immigration to British North America , with over 35,000 distressed Irish landing in Toronto alone in 1847 and 1848 . Pacific colonies ( edit ) Further information : History of British Columbia Map of the Columbia District , also referred to as Oregon Country . Spanish explorers had taken the lead in the Pacific Northwest coast , with the voyages of Juan José Pérez Hernández in 1774 and 1775 . By the time the Spanish determined to build a fort on Vancouver Island , the British navigator James Cook had visited Nootka Sound and charted the coast as far as Alaska , while British and American maritime fur traders had begun a busy era of commerce with the coastal peoples to satisfy the brisk market for sea otter pelts in China , thereby launching what became known as the China Trade . In 1789 war threatened between Britain and Spain on their respective rights ; the Nootka Crisis was resolved peacefully largely in favor of Britain , the much stronger naval power . In 1793 Alexander MacKenzie , a Canadian working for the North West Company , crossed the continent and with his Aboriginal guides and French - Canadian crew , reached the mouth of the Bella Coola River , completing the first continental crossing north of Mexico , missing George Vancouver 's charting expedition to the region by only a few weeks . In 1821 , the North West Company and Hudson 's Bay Company merged , with a combined trading territory that was extended by a licence to the North - Western Territory and the Columbia and New Caledonia fur districts , which reached the Arctic Ocean on the north and the Pacific Ocean on the west . The Colony of Vancouver Island was chartered in 1849 , with the trading post at Fort Victoria as the capital . This was followed by the Colony of the Queen Charlotte Islands in 1853 , and by the creation of the Colony of British Columbia in 1858 and the Stikine Territory in 1861 , with the latter three being founded expressly to keep those regions from being overrun and annexed by American gold miners . The Colony of the Queen Charlotte Islands and most of the Stikine Territory were merged into the Colony of British Columbia in 1863 ( the remainder , north of the 60th Parallel , became part of the North - Western Territory ) . Confederation ( edit ) Main article : Canadian Confederation 1885 photo of Robert Harris ' 1884 painting , Conference at Quebec in 1864 , also known as The Fathers of Confederation . The scene is an amalgamation of the Charlottetown and Quebec City conference sites and attendees . The Seventy - Two Resolutions from the 1864 Quebec Conference and Charlottetown Conference laid out the framework for uniting British colonies in North America into a federation . They had been adopted by the majority of the provinces of Canada and became the basis for the London Conference of 1866 , which led to the formation of the Dominion of Canada on July 1 , 1867 . The term dominion was chosen to indicate Canada 's status as a self - governing colony of the British Empire , the first time it was used about a country . With the coming into force of the British North America Act ( enacted by the British Parliament ) , the Province of Canada , New Brunswick , and Nova Scotia became a federated kingdom in its own right . ( According to J. McCullough , use of the phrase `` Dominion of Canada ... was gradually phased out '' during the `` late 1940 's , 50 's , and early 60 's '' with the growth of `` post-colonial Canadian nationalism '' . ) Federation emerged from multiple impulses : the British wanted Canada to defend itself ; the Maritimes needed railroad connections , which were promised in 1867 ; British - Canadian nationalism sought to unite the lands into one country , dominated by the English language and British culture ; many French - Canadians saw an opportunity to exert political control within a new largely French - speaking Quebec and fears of possible U.S. expansion northward . On a political level , there was a desire for the expansion of responsible government and elimination of the legislative deadlock between Upper and Lower Canada , and their replacement with provincial legislatures in a federation . This was especially pushed by the liberal Reform movement of Upper Canada and the French - Canadian Parti rouge in Lower Canada who favored a decentralized union in comparison to the Upper Canadian Conservative party and to some degree the French - Canadian Parti bleu , which favored a centralized union . Early Post-Confederation Canada 1867 -- 1914 ( edit ) The Battle of Fish Creek , fought April 24 , 1885 , at Fish Creek , Saskatchewan , was a major Métis victory over the Dominion of Canada forces attempting to quell Louis Riel 's North - West Rebellion . Main article : Post-Confederation Canada ( 1867 -- 1914 ) Territorial expansion ( edit ) Further information : Territorial evolution of Canada Using the lure of the Canadian Pacific Railway , a transcontinental line that would unite the nation , Ottawa attracted support in the Maritimes and in British Columbia . In 1866 , the Colony of British Columbia and the Colony of Vancouver Island merged into a single Colony of British Columbia ; it joined the Canadian Confederation in 1871 . In 1873 , Prince Edward Island joined . Newfoundland -- which had no use for a transcontinental railway -- voted no in 1869 , and did not join Canada until 1949 . In 1873 John A. Macdonald ( First Prime Minister of Canada ) created the North - West Mounted Police ( now the Royal Canadian Mounted Police ) to help police the Northwest Territories . Specifically the Mounties were to assert Canadian sovereignty over possible American encroachments into the sparsely populated land . The Mounties ' first large - scale mission was to suppress the second independence movement by Manitoba 's Métis , a mixed blood people of joint First Nations and European descent , who originated in the mid-17th century . The desire for independence erupted in the Red River Rebellion in 1869 and the later North - West Rebellion in 1885 led by Louis Riel . Suppressing the Rebellion was Canada 's first independent military action . It cost about $5 million and demonstrated the need to complete the Canadian Pacific Railway . It guaranteed Anglophone control of the Prairies , and demonstrated the national government was capable of decisive action . However , it lost the Conservative Party most of their support in Quebec and led to permanent distrust of the Anglophone community on the part of the Francophones . A photochrome postcard showing downtown Montreal , circa 1910 . Canada 's population became urbanized during the 20th century . In the 1890s , legal experts codified a framework of criminal law , culminating in the Criminal Code , 1892 . This solidified the liberal ideal of `` equality before the law '' in a way that made an abstract principle into a tangible reality for every adult Canadian . Wilfrid Laurier who served 1896 -- 1911 as the Seventh Prime Minister of Canada felt Canada was on the verge of becoming a world power , and declared that the 20th century would `` belong to Canada '' The Alaska boundary dispute , simmering since the Alaska purchase of 1867 , became critical when gold was discovered in the Yukon during the late 1890s , with the U.S. controlling all the possible ports of entry . Canada argued its boundary included the port of Skagway . The dispute went to arbitration in 1903 , but the British delegate sided with the Americans , angering Canadians who felt the British had betrayed Canadian interests to curry favour with the U.S. In 1905 Saskatchewan and Alberta were admitted as provinces . They were growing rapidly thanks to abundant wheat crops that attracted immigration to the plains by Ukrainians and Northern and Central Europeans and by settlers from the United States , Britain and eastern Canada . Laurier signed a reciprocity treaty with the U.S. that would lower tariffs in both directions . Conservatives under Robert Borden denounced it , saying it would integrate Canada 's economy into that of the U.S. and loosen ties with Britain . The Conservative party won the Canadian federal election , 1911 . Development of popular culture ( edit ) Canadian culture as it is understood today can be traced to its time period of westward expansion . Contributing factors include Canada 's unique geography , climate , and cultural makeup . Being a cold country with long winter nights for most of the year , certain unique leisure activities developed in Canada during this period including hockey and lacrosse . During this period the churches tried to steer leisure activities , by preaching against drinking and scheduling annual revivals and weekly club activities . By 1930 radio played a major role in uniting Canadians behind their local or regional hockey teams . Play - by - play sports coverage , especially of ice hockey , absorbed fans far more intensely than newspaper accounts the next day . Rural areas were especially influenced by sports coverage . Canadians in the 19th century came to believe themselves possessed of a unique `` northern character , '' due to the long , harsh winters that only those of hardy body and mind could survive . This hardiness was claimed as a Canadian trait , and such sports as ice hockey and snowshoeing that reflected this were asserted as characteristically Canadian . Outside the sports arena Canadians express the national characteristics of being peaceful , orderly and polite . Inside they scream their lungs out at ice hockey games , cheering the speed , ferocity , and violence , making hockey an ambiguous symbol of Canada . The Great War and interwar years 1914 -- 1939 ( edit ) World War I poster for 1918 -- Canadian victory bond drive , depicts three French women pulling a plow . Main article : Canada in the World Wars and Interwar Years First World War ( edit ) Main article : Military history of Canada during World War I The Canadian Forces and civilian participation in the First World War helped to foster a sense of British - Canadian nationhood . The highpoints of Canadian military achievement during the First World War came during the Somme , Vimy , Passchendaele battles and what later became known as `` Canada 's Hundred Days '' . The reputation Canadian troops earned , along with the success of Canadian flying aces including William George Barker and Billy Bishop , helped to give the nation a new sense of identity . The War Office in 1922 reported approximately 67,000 killed and 173,000 wounded during the war . This excludes civilian deaths in war - time incidents like the Halifax Explosion . Support for Great Britain during the First World War caused a major political crisis over conscription , with Francophones , mainly from Quebec , rejecting national policies . During the crisis , large numbers of enemy aliens ( especially Ukrainians and Germans ) were put under government controls . The Liberal party was deeply split , with most of its Anglophone leaders joining the unionist government headed by Prime Minister Robert Borden , the leader of the Conservative party . The Liberals regained their influence after the war under the leadership of William Lyon Mackenzie King , who served as prime minister with three separate terms between 1921 and 1949 . Women 's suffrage ( edit ) Further information : History of Canadian women § Feminism and woman suffrage See also : Canadian women during the world wars On September 20 , 1917 , women gained a limited right to vote . The nursing sisters at the Canadian hospital in France during World War I were among the first women to vote in any general election Women 's political status without the vote was vigorously promoted by the National Council of Women of Canada from 1894 to 1918 . It promoted a vision of `` transcendent citizenship '' for women . The ballot was not needed , for citizenship was to be exercised through personal influence and moral suasion , through the election of men with strong moral character , and through raising public - spirited sons . The National Council position reflected its nation - building program that sought to uphold Canada as a White settler nation . While the woman suffrage movement was important for extending the political rights of White women , it was also authorized through race - based arguments that linked White women 's enfranchisement to the need to protect the nation from `` racial degeneration '' . Women did have a local vote in some provinces , as in Canada West from 1850 , where women owning land could vote for school trustees . By 1900 other provinces adopted similar provisions , and in 1916 Manitoba took the lead in extending full women 's suffrage . Simultaneously suffragists gave strong support to the prohibition movement , especially in Ontario and the Western provinces . The Military Voters Act of 1917 gave the vote to British women who were war widows or had sons or husbands serving overseas . Unionists Prime Minister Borden pledged himself during the 1917 campaign to equal suffrage for women . After his landslide victory , he introduced a bill in 1918 for extending the franchise to women . This passed without division , but did not apply to Quebec provincial and municipal elections . The women of Quebec gained full suffrage in 1940 . The first woman elected to Parliament was Agnes Macphail of Ontario in 1921 . Interwar ( edit ) Anachronous map of the world between 1920 and 1945 which shows The League of Nations and the world . On the World stage ( edit ) As a result of its contribution to Allied victory in the First World War , Canada became more assertive and less deferential to British authority . Convinced that Canada had proven itself on the battlefields of Europe , Prime Minister Sir Robert Borden demanded that it have a separate seat at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 . This was initially opposed not only by Britain but also by the United States , which saw such a delegation as an extra British vote . Borden responded by pointing out that since Canada had lost nearly 60,000 men , a far larger proportion of its men , its right to equal status as a nation had been consecrated on the battlefield . British Prime Minister David Lloyd George eventually relented , and convinced the reluctant Americans to accept the presence of delegations from Canada , India , Australia , Newfoundland , New Zealand , and South Africa . These also received their own seats in the League of Nations . Canada asked for neither reparations nor mandates . It played only a modest role at Paris , but just having a seat was a matter of pride . It was cautiously optimistic about the new League of Nations , in which it played an active and independent role . In 1923 British Prime Minister , David Lloyd George , appealed repeatedly for Canadian support in the Chanak crisis , in which a war threatened between Britain and Turkey . Canada refused . The Department of External Affairs , which had been founded in 1909 , was expanded and promoted Canadian autonomy as Canada reduced its reliance on British diplomats and used its own foreign service . Thus began the careers of such important diplomats as Norman Robertson and Hume Wrong , and future prime minister Lester Pearson . Domestic Affairs ( edit ) In 1921 to 1926 , William Lyon Mackenzie King 's Liberal government pursued a conservative domestic policy with the object of lowering wartime taxes and , especially , cooling wartime ethnic tensions , as well as defusing postwar labour conflicts . The Progressives refused to join the government , but did help the Liberals defeat non-confidence motions . King faced a delicate balancing act of reducing tariffs enough to please the Prairie - based Progressives , but not too much to alienate his vital support in industrial Ontario and Quebec , which needed tariffs to compete with American imports . King and Conservative leader Arthur Meighen sparred constantly and bitterly in Commons debates . The Progressives gradually weakened . Their effective and passionate leader , Thomas Crerar , resigned to return to his grain business , and was replaced by the more placid Robert Forke . The socialist reformer J. S. Woodsworth gradually gained influence and power among the Progressives , and he reached an accommodation with King on policy matters . In 1926 Prime Minister Mackenzie King advised the Governor General , Lord Byng , to dissolve Parliament and call another election , but Byng refused , the only time that the Governor General has exercised such a power . Instead Byng called upon Meighen , the Conservative Party leader , to form a government . Meighen attempted to do so , but was unable to obtain a majority in the Commons and he , too , advised dissolution , which this time was accepted . The episode , the King -- Byng Affair , marks a constitutional crisis that was resolved by a new tradition of complete non-interference in Canadian political affairs on the part of the British government . Great Depression ( edit ) Main article : Great Depression in Canada Unemployed men march in Toronto Canada was hard hit by the worldwide Great Depression that began in 1929 . Between 1929 and 1933 , the gross national product dropped 40 % ( compared to 37 % in the US ) . Unemployment reached 27 % at the depth of the Depression in 1933 . Many businesses closed , as corporate profits of $396 million in 1929 turned into losses of $98 million in 1933 . Canadian exports shrank by 50 % from 1929 to 1933 . Construction all but stopped ( down 82 % , 1929 -- 33 ) , and wholesale prices dropped 30 % . Wheat prices plunged from 78c per bushel ( 1928 crop ) to 29c in 1932 . Urban unemployment nationwide was 19 % ; Toronto 's rate was 17 % , according to the census of 1931 . Farmers who stayed on their farms were not considered unemployed . By 1933 , 30 % of the labour force was out of work , and one fifth of the population became dependent on government assistance . Wages fell as did prices . Worst hit were areas dependent on primary industries such as farming , mining and logging , as prices fell and there were few alternative jobs . Most families had moderate losses and little hardship , though they too became pessimistic and their debts became heavier as prices fell . Some families saw most or all of their assets disappear , and suffered severely . In 1930 , in the first stage of the long depression , Prime Minister Mackenzie King believed that the crisis was a temporary swing of the business cycle and that the economy would soon recover without government intervention . He refused to provide unemployment relief or federal aid to the provinces , saying that if Conservative provincial governments demanded federal dollars , he would not give them `` a five cent piece . '' His blunt wisecrack was used to defeat the Liberals in the 1930 election . The main issue was the rapid deterioration in the economy and whether the prime minister was out of touch with the hardships of ordinary people . The winner of the 1930 election was Richard Bedford Bennett and the Conservatives . Bennett had promised high tariffs and large - scale spending , but as deficits increased , he became wary and cut back severely on Federal spending . With falling support and the depression getting only worse , Bennett attempted to introduce policies based on the New Deal of President Franklin D. Roosevelt ( FDR ) in the United States , but he got little passed . Bennett 's government became a focus of popular discontent . For example , auto owners saved on gasoline by using horses to pull their cars , dubbing them Bennett Buggies . The Conservative failure to restore prosperity led to the return of Mackenzie King 's Liberals in the 1935 election . Strikers from unemployment relief camps climbing on boxcars in Kamloops , British Columbia In 1935 , the Liberals used the slogan `` King or Chaos '' to win a landslide in the 1935 election . Promising a much - desired trade treaty with the U.S. , the Mackenzie King government passed the 1935 Reciprocal Trade Agreement . It marked the turning point in Canadian - American economic relations , reversing the disastrous trade war of 1930 -- 31 , lowering tariffs , and yielding a dramatic increase in trade . The worst of the Depression had passed by 1935 , as Ottawa launched relief programs such as the National Housing Act and National Employment Commission . The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation became a crown corporation in 1936 . Trans - Canada Airlines ( the precursor to Air Canada ) was formed in 1937 , as was the National Film Board of Canada in 1939 . In 1938 , Parliament transformed the Bank of Canada from a private entity to a crown corporation . One political response was a highly restrictive immigration policy and a rise in nativism . Times were especially hard in western Canada , where a full recovery did not occur until the Second World War began in 1939 . One response was the creation of new political parties such as the Social Credit movement and the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation , as well as popular protest in the form of the On - to - Ottawa Trek . The end of British rule ( edit ) Main article : Statute of Westminster , 1931 Following the Balfour Declaration of 1926 , the British Parliament passed the Statute of Westminster in 1931 which acknowledged Canada as coequal with the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms . It was a crucial step in the development of Canada as a separate state in that it provided for nearly complete legislative autonomy from the Parliament of the United Kingdom . Although the United Kingdom retained formal authority over certain Canadian constitutional changes , it relinquished this authority with the passing of the Canada Act 1982 which was the final step in achieving full sovereignty . Canada during the second World War ( edit ) Further information : Military history of Canada during the Second World War Canadian crew of a Sherman tank in Vaucelles , France , after D - day south of Juno Beach , June 1944 Canada 's involvement in the Second World War began when Canada declared war on Nazi Germany on September 10 , 1939 , delaying it one week after Britain acted to symbolically demonstrate independence . The war restored Canada 's economic health and its self - confidence , as it played a major role in the Atlantic and in Europe . During the war , Canada became more closely linked to the U.S. The Americans took virtual control of Yukon in order to build the Alaska Highway , and were a major presence in the British colony of Newfoundland with major airbases . Mackenzie King -- and Canada -- were largely ignored by Winston Churchill and the British government despite Canada 's major role in supplying food , raw materials , munitions and money to the hard - pressed British economy , training airmen for the Commonwealth , guarding the western half of the North Atlantic Ocean against German U-boats , and providing combat troops for the invasions of Italy , France and Germany in 1943 -- 45 . The government successfully mobilized the economy for war , with impressive results in industrial and agricultural output . The depression ended , prosperity returned , and Canada 's economy expanded significantly . On the political side , Mackenzie King rejected any notion of a government of national unity . The Canadian federal election , 1940 was held as normally scheduled , producing another majority for the Liberals . Building up the Royal Canadian Air Force was a high priority ; it was kept separate from Britain 's Royal Air Force . The British Commonwealth Air Training Plan Agreement , signed in December 1939 , bound Canada , Britain , New Zealand , and Australia to a program that eventually trained half the airmen from those four nations in the Second World War . After the start of war with Japan in December 1941 , the government , in cooperation with the U.S. , began the Japanese - Canadian internment , which sent 22,000 British Columbia residents of Japanese descent to relocation camps far from the coast . The reason was intense public demand for removal and fears of espionage or sabotage . The government ignored reports from the RCMP and Canadian military that most of the Japanese were law - abiding and not a threat . William Mackenzie King voting in the plebiscite on the introduction of conscription for overseas military service The Battle of the Atlantic began immediately , and from 1943 to 1945 was led by Leonard W. Murray , from Nova Scotia . German U-boats operated in Canadian and Newfoundland waters throughout the war , sinking many naval and merchant vessels , as Canada took charge of the defenses of the western Atlantic . The Canadian army was involved in the failed defence of Hong Kong , the unsuccessful Dieppe Raid in August 1942 , the Allied invasion of Italy , and the highly successful invasion of France and the Netherlands in 1944 -- 45 . The Conscription Crisis of 1944 greatly affected unity between French and English - speaking Canadians , though was not as politically intrusive as that of the First World War . Of a population of approximately 11.5 million , 1.1 million Canadians served in the armed forces in the Second World War . Many thousands more served with the Canadian Merchant Navy . In all , more than 45,000 died , and another 55,000 were wounded . Postwar era 1945 -- 1960 ( edit ) Main article : History of Canada ( 1945 -- 1960 ) Prosperity returned to Canada during the Second World War and continued in the following years , with the development of universal health care , old - age pensions , and veterans ' pensions . The financial crisis of the Great Depression had led the Dominion of Newfoundland to relinquish responsible government in 1934 and become a crown colony ruled by a British governor . In 1948 , the British government gave voters three Newfoundland Referendum choices : remaining a crown colony , returning to Dominion status ( that is , independence ) , or joining Canada . Joining the United States was not made an option . After bitter debate Newfoundlanders voted to join Canada in 1949 as a province . The Avro Canada CF - 105 Arrow ( Recreation ) . The foreign policy of Canada during the Cold War was closely tied to that of the United States . Canada was a founding member of NATO ( which Canada wanted to be a transatlantic economic and political union as well ) . In 1950 , Canada sent combat troops to Korea during the Korean War as part of the United Nations forces . The federal government 's desire to assert its territorial claims in the Arctic during the Cold War manifested with the High Arctic relocation , in which Inuit were moved from Nunavik ( the northern third of Quebec ) to barren Cornwallis Island ; this project was later the subject of a long investigation by the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples . In 1956 , the United Nations responded to the Suez Crisis by convening a United Nations Emergency Force to supervise the withdrawal of invading forces . The peacekeeping force was initially conceptualized by Secretary of External Affairs and future Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson . Pearson was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957 for his work in establishing the peacekeeping operation . Throughout the mid-1950s , Louis St. Laurent ( 12th Prime Minister of Canada ) and his successor John Diefenbaker attempted to create a new , highly advanced jet fighter , the Avro Arrow . The controversial aircraft was cancelled by Diefenbaker in 1959 . Diefenbaker instead purchased the BOMARC missile defense system and American aircraft . In 1958 Canada established ( with the United States ) the North American Aerospace Defense Command ( NORAD ) . 1960 -- 1981 ( edit ) Main article : History of Canada ( 1960 -- 1981 ) In the 1960s , what became known as the Quiet Revolution took place in Quebec , overthrowing the old establishment which centred on the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Quebec and led to modernizing of the economy and society . Québécois nationalists demanded independence , and tensions rose until violence erupted during the 1970 October Crisis . John Saywell says , `` The two kidnappings and the murder of Pierre Laporte were the biggest domestic news stories in Canada 's history '' In 1976 the Parti Québécois was elected to power in Quebec , with a nationalist vision that included securing French linguistic rights in the province and the pursuit of some form of sovereignty for Quebec . This culminated in the 1980 referendum in Quebec on the question of sovereignty - association , which was turned down by 59 % of the voters . The Canadian flag , adopted in 1965 . In 1965 , Canada adopted the maple leaf flag , although not without considerable debate and misgivings among large number of English Canadians . The World 's Fair titled Expo 67 came to Montreal , coinciding with the Canadian Centennial that year . The fair opened April 28 , 1967 , with the theme `` Man and his World '' and became the best attended of all BIE - sanctioned world expositions until that time . Legislative restrictions on Canadian immigration that had favoured British and other European immigrants were amended in the 1960s , opening the doors to immigrants from all parts of the world . While the 1950s had seen high levels of immigration from Britain , Ireland , Italy , and northern continental Europe , by the 1970s immigrants increasingly came from India , China , Vietnam , Jamaica and Haiti . Immigrants of all backgrounds tended to settle in the major urban centres , particularly Toronto , Montreal and Vancouver . During his long tenure in the office ( 1968 -- 79 , 1980 -- 84 ) , Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau made social and cultural change his political goals , including the pursuit of official bilingualism in Canada and plans for significant constitutional change . The west , particularly the petroleum - producing provinces like Alberta , opposed many of the policies emanating from central Canada , with the National Energy Program creating considerable antagonism and growing western alienation . Multiculturalism in Canada was adopted as the official policy of the Canadian government during the prime ministership of Pierre Trudeau . 1982 -- 1992 ( edit ) Main article : History of Canada ( 1982 -- 1992 ) A commemorative plaque presented to the citizens of Bantry , Ireland by the government of Canada for the residents ' kindness and compassion to the families of the victims of Air India Flight 182 . In 1981 , the Canadian House of Commons and Senate passed a resolution requesting that the British Parliament enact a package of constitutional amendments which would end the last powers of the British Parliament to legislate for Canada and would create an entirely Canadian process for constitutional amendments . The resolution set out the text of the proposed Canada Act , which also included the text of the Constitution Act , 1982 . The British Parliament duly passed the Canada Act 1982 , the Queen granting Royal Assent on March 29 , 1982 , 115 years to the day since Queen Victoria granted Royal Assent to the Constitution Act , 1867 . On April 17 , 1982 , the Queen signed the Proclamation on the grounds of Parliament Hill in Ottawa bringing the Constitution Act , 1982 into force , thus patriating the Constitution of Canada . Previously , the main portions of the constitution had existed only as an act passed of the British parliament , though under the terms of the Statute of Westminster , it could not be altered without Canadian consent . Canada had established complete sovereignty as an independent country , with the Queen 's role as monarch of Canada separate from her role as the British monarch or the monarch of any of the other Commonwealth realms . In addition to the enactment of a Canadian amending formulas , the Constitution Act , 1982 enacted the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms . The Charter is a constitutionally entrenched bill of rights which applies to both the federal government and the provincial governments , unlike the earlier Canadian Bill of Rights . The patriation of the constitution was Trudeau 's last major act as Prime Minister ; he resigned in 1984 . On June 23 , 1985 , Air India Flight 182 was destroyed above the Atlantic Ocean by a bomb on board exploding ; all 329 on board were killed , of whom 280 were Canadian citizens . The Air India attack is the largest mass murder in Canadian history . The Progressive Conservative ( PC ) government of Brian Mulroney began efforts to gain Quebec 's support for the Constitution Act 1982 and end western alienation . In 1987 the Meech Lake Accord talks began between the provincial and federal governments , seeking constitutional changes favourable to Quebec . The failure of the Meech Lake Accord resulted in the formation of a separatist party , Bloc Québécois . The constitutional reform process under Prime Minister Mulroney culminated in the failure of the Charlottetown Accord which would have recognized Quebec as a `` distinct society '' but was rejected in 1992 by a narrow margin . Under Brian Mulroney , relations with the United States began to grow more closely integrated . In 1986 , Canada and the U.S. signed the `` Acid Rain Treaty '' to reduce acid rain . In 1989 , the federal government adopted the Free Trade Agreement with the United States despite significant animosity from the Canadian public who were concerned about the economic and cultural impacts of close integration with the United States . On July 11 , 1990 , the Oka Crisis land dispute began between the Mohawk people of Kanesatake and the adjoining town of Oka , Quebec . The dispute was the first of a number of well - publicized conflicts between First Nations and the Canadian government in the late 20th century . In August 1990 , Canada was one of the first nations to condemn Iraq 's invasion of Kuwait , and it quickly agreed to join the U.S. - led coalition . Canada deployed destroyers and later a CF - 18 Hornet squadron with support personnel , as well as a field hospital to deal with casualties . Recent History : 1992 -- present ( edit ) Main article : History of Canada ( 1992 -- present ) Following Mulroney 's resignation as prime minister in 1993 , Kim Campbell took office and became Canada 's first female prime minister . Campbell remained in office for only a few months : the 1993 election saw the collapse of the Progressive Conservative Party from government to two seats , while the Quebec - based sovereigntist Bloc Québécois became the official opposition . Prime Minister Jean Chrétien of the Liberals took office in November 1993 with a majority government and was re-elected with further majorities during the 1997 and 2000 elections . Political shift in Canada in the first decade of the 21st century In 1995 , the government of Quebec held a second referendum on sovereignty that was rejected by a margin of 50.6 % to 49.4 % . In 1998 , the Canadian Supreme Court ruled unilateral secession by a province to be unconstitutional , and Parliament passed the Clarity Act outlining the terms of a negotiated departure . Environmental issues increased in importance in Canada during this period , resulting in the signing of the Kyoto Accord on climate change by Canada 's Liberal government in 2002 . The accord was in 2007 nullified by Prime Minister Stephen Harper 's Conservative government , which proposed a `` made - in - Canada '' solution to climate change . Canada became the fourth country in the world and the first country in the Americas to legalize same - sex marriage nationwide with the enactment of the Civil Marriage Act . Court decisions , starting in 2003 , had already legalized same - sex marriage in eight out of ten provinces and one of three territories . Before the passage of the Act , more than 3,000 same - sex couples had married in these areas . The Canadian Alliance and PC Party merged into the Conservative Party of Canada in 2003 , ending a 13 - year division of the conservative vote . The party was elected twice as a minority government under the leadership of Stephen Harper in the 2006 federal election and 2008 federal election . Harper 's Conservative Party won a majority in the 2011 federal election with the New Democratic Party forming the Official Opposition for the first time . Under Harper , Canada and the United States continued to integrate state and provincial agencies to strengthen security along the Canada -- United States border through the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative . From 2002 to 2011 , Canada was involved in the Afghanistan War as part of the U.S. stabilization force and the NATO - commanded International Security Assistance Force . In July 2010 , the largest purchase in Canadian military history , totalling C $ 9 billion for the acquisition of 65 F - 35 fighters , was announced by the federal government . Canada is one of several nations that assisted in the development of the F - 35 and has invested over C $168 million in the program . On October 19 , 2015 , Stephen Harper 's Conservatives were defeated by a newly resurgent Liberal party under the leadership of Justin Trudeau and which had been reduced to third party status in the 2011 elections . Multiculturalism ( cultural and ethnic diversity ) has been emphasized in recent decades . Ambrose and Mudde conclude that : `` Canada 's unique multiculturalism policy ... which is based on a combination of selective immigration , comprehensive integration , and strong state repression of dissent on these policies . This unique blend of policies has led to a relatively low level of opposition to multiculturalism '' . Historiography ( edit ) Main article : Historiography of Canada The Conquest of New France has always been a central and contested theme of Canadian memory . Cornelius Jaenen argues : The Conquest has remained a difficult subject for French - Canadian historians because it can be viewed either as economically and ideologically disastrous or as a providential intervention to enable Canadians to maintain their language and religion under British rule . For virtually all Anglophone historians it was a victory for British military , political , and economic superiority which would eventually only benefit the conquered . Historians of the 1950s tried to explain the economic inferiority of the French - Canadians by arguing that the Conquest : destroyed an integral society and decapitated the commercial class ; leadership of the conquered people fell to the Church ; and , because commercial activity came to be monopolized by British merchants , national survival concentrated on agriculture . At the other pole , are those Francophone historians who see the positive benefit of enabling the preservation of language , and religion and traditional customs under British rule . French Canadian debates have escalated since the 1960s , as the Conquest is seen as a pivotal moment in the history of Québec 's nationalism . Historian Jocelyn Létourneau suggested in the 21st century , `` 1759 does not belong primarily to a past that we might wish to study and understand , but , rather , to a present and a future that we might wish to shape and control . '' Anglophone historians , on the other hand , portray the Conquest as a victory for British military , political and economic superiority that was a permanent benefit to the French . Allan Greer argues that Whig history was once the dominant style of scholars . He says the : interpretive schemes that dominated Canadian historical writing through the middle decades of the twentieth century were built on the assumption that history had a discernible direction and flow . Canada was moving towards a goal in the nineteenth century ; whether this endpoint was the construction of a transcontinental , commercial , and political union , the development of parliamentary government , or the preservation and resurrection of French Canada , it was certainly a Good Thing . Thus the rebels of 1837 were quite literally on the wrong track . They lost because they had to lose ; they were not simply overwhelmed by superior force , they were justly chastised by the God of History .

when did the european settlers from france arrive on the east coast of canada
[ "Starting in the late 15th century, French and British expeditions explored, colonized, and fought over various places within North America in what constitutes present-day Canada. The colony of New France was established in 1534 and was ceded to the United Kingdom in 1763 after the French defeat in the Seven Years' War. The now British Province of Quebec was divided into Upper and Lower Canada in 1791 and reunified in 1841. In 1867, the Province of Canada was joined with two other British colonies of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia through Confederation, forming a self-governing entity named Canada. The new dominion expanded by incorporating other parts of British North America, finishing with Newfoundland and Labrador in 1949." ]

Red telephone box
Red telephone box - wikipedia Red telephone box Jump to : navigation , search An example of a K6 , the most common red telephone box model , photographed in London in 2012 . Like most K6s in central London today , this example is a modern ' heritage ' installation . The red telephone box , a telephone kiosk for a public telephone designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott , was a familiar sight on the streets of the United Kingdom , Malta , Bermuda and Gibraltar . Despite a reduction in their numbers in recent years , the traditional British red telephone kiosk can still be seen in many places throughout the UK , and in current or former British colonies around the world . The colour red was chosen to make them easy to spot . From 1926 onwards , the fascias of the kiosks were emblazoned with a prominent crown , representing the British government . The red phone box is often seen as a British cultural icon throughout the world . In 2006 the K2 telephone box was voted one of Britain 's top 10 design icons , which included the Mini , Supermarine Spitfire , London tube map , World Wide Web , Concorde and the AEC Routemaster bus . Although production of the traditional boxes ended with the advent of the KX series in 1985 , many still stand in Britain . The paint colour used most widely today is known as `` currant red '' and is defined by a British Standard , BS381C - Red539 . This slightly brighter red was introduced with the K8 model in 1968 , but went on to be used across the estate on previous models too . Hence , for complete historical accuracy , any kiosks in pre-1968 settings should really be painted in the previous , and slightly darker , shade BS381C - Red538 .

This design was not of the same family as the familiar red telephone boxes . As of 2017 , there are six K1 boxes in existence , all of which have been listed at Grade II by Historic England , with two still located on British streets . The first is situated in Trinity Market in Kingston - upon - Hull , and the other , in Bembridge High Street , Isle of White . K2 ( edit ) K2 kiosks on Broad Court , Covent Garden , London The dome of Sir John Soane 's mausoleum was an inspiration for the K2 's design . The red telephone box was the result of a competition in 1924 to design a kiosk that would be acceptable to the London Metropolitan Boroughs which had hitherto resisted the Post Office 's effort to erect K1 kiosks on their streets . The Royal Fine Art Commission was instrumental in the choice of the British standard kiosk . Because of widespread dissatisfaction with the GPO 's design , the Metropolitan Boroughs Joint Standing Committee organised a competition for a superior one in 1923 , but the results were disappointing . The Birmingham Civic Society then produced a design of its own -- in reinforced concrete -- but it was informed by the Director of Telephones that the design produced by the Office of the Engineer - in - Chief was preferred ; as the Architects ' Journal commented , ' no one with any knowledge of design could feel anything but indignation with the pattern that seems to satisfy the official mind . ' The Birmingham Civic Society did not give up and , with additional pressure from the Royal Institute of British Architects , the Town Planning Institute and the Royal Academy , the Postmaster General was forced to think again ; and the result was that the RFAC organised a limited competition . K2 in London The organisers invited entries from three respected architects and , along with the designs from the Post Office and from The Birmingham Civic Society , the Fine Arts Commission judged the competition and selected the design submitted by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott . The invitation had come at the time when Scott had been made a trustee of Sir John Soane 's Museum : his design for the competition was in the classical style , but topped with a dome reminiscent of Soane 's self - designed mausoleums in St Pancras ' Old Churchyard and Dulwich Picture Gallery , London . The original wooden prototypes of the entries were later put into public service at under - cover sites around London . That of Scott 's design is the only one known to survive and is still where it was originally placed , in the left entrance arch to the Royal Academy . The Post Office chose to make Scott 's winning design in cast iron ( Scott had suggested mild steel ) and to paint it red ( Scott had suggested silver , with a `` greeny - blue '' interior ) and , with other minor changes of detail , it was brought into service as the Kiosk No. 2 or K2 . From 1926 K2 was deployed in and around London and the K1 continued to be erected elsewhere . K3 ( edit ) K3 , introduced in 1929 , again by Giles Gilbert Scott , was similar to K2 but was constructed from concrete and intended for nationwide use . Cheaper than the K2 , it was still significantly more costly than the K1 and so that remained the choice for low - revenue sites . The standard colour scheme for both the K1 and the K3 was cream , with red glazing bars . A rare surviving K3 kiosk can be seen beside the Penguin Beach exhibit at ZSL London Zoo , where it has been protected from the weather by the projecting eaves and recently restored to its original colour scheme . There is also one other in use at Rhynd in Perthshire . K4 ( edit ) K4 ( designed by the Post Office Engineering Department in 1927 ) incorporated a post box and machines for buying postage stamps on the exterior . Only a single batch of 50 K4 kiosks were built . Some contemporary reports said the noise of the stamp - machines in operation disturbed phone - users , and the rolls of stamps in the machines became damp and stuck together in wet weather . This has been widely repeated ( including by Stamp ) but Johannessen chose not to , having found no evidence to support the story . Ten survive with four in public use at Frodsham , Warrington , Whitley Bay and near Tunstall , East Riding of Yorkshire . K5 ( edit ) K5 was a metal - faced plywood construction introduced in 1934 and designed to be assembled and dismantled and used at exhibitions . It is not known how many were produced , and there is little evidence they ever reached more than prototype stage . A fully detailed replica ( constructed using the original drawings ) can be seen at The Avoncroft Museum ( Bromsgrove , Worcestershire ) , as part of the National Telephone Kiosk Collection . A K6 ( left ) and K2 ( right ) together in St John 's Wood High Street K6 ( edit ) In 1935 the K6 ( kiosk number six ) was designed to commemorate the silver jubilee of King George V. It was consequently sometimes known as the `` Jubilee '' kiosk . It went into production in 1936 . The K6 was the first red telephone kiosk to be extensively used outside London , and many thousands were deployed in virtually every town and city , replacing most of the existing kiosks and establishing thousands of new sites . In 1935 there had been 19,000 public telephones in the UK : by 1940 , thanks to the K6 , there were 35,000 . The design was again by Scott , and was essentially a smaller and more streamlined version of the K2 , intended to be produced at a considerably cheaper cost , and to occupy less pavement space . The principal differences between the two designs were : Size . The K6 was 8 feet 3 inches ( 2.51 m ) tall and weighed 13.5 cwt ( 0.69 tonnes ) . This compared with 9 feet 3 inches ( 2.82 m ) and 1.25 tons ( 1.27 tonnes ) for the K2 . Elements of the design were simplified and streamlined , in keeping with the `` moderne '' aesthetics of the 1930s . The Grecian fluting was removed from the door and window surrounds , and the previously separate pediment and frieze were merged . The Crown motif ( see below ) , which had previously been pierced through the ironwork to give ventilation , was now embossed in bas - relief . A new , separate ventilation slot was provided . A new glazing pattern was introduced . The door and two glazed sides of the K2 each had 18 equal - sized panes of glass arranged in 6 rows of 3 . In the K6 the number of rows was increased to 8 , and the central column of panes was made considerably wider than those to either side . This improved visibility , and gave a more horizontal appearance to the windows , again in keeping with `` moderne '' principles . The K6 has since become a British icon , but it was not universally loved at the start . The red colour caused particular local difficulties and there were many requests for less visible colours . The Post Office was forced into allowing a less strident grey with red glazing bars scheme for areas of natural and architectural beauty . Ironically , some of these areas that have preserved their telephone boxes have now painted them red . Kiosk installation : the early years ( edit ) With continued demand for K6 kiosks , siting them was more widespread than ever before . A purpose built kiosk trailer was designed from 1953 to reduce the running costs of cranes . Numbers installed ( edit ) The K6 was the most prolific kiosk in the UK and its growth , from 1935 , can be seen from the BT archives : Period Number Notes 1925 -- 1,000 ( K1 Only ) 1930 -- 8,000 ( K2 & K3 added ) 1935 -- 19,000 ( K6 introduced ) 1940 -- 35,000 1950 -- 44,000 1960 -- 64,000 1970 -- 70,000 ( K8 introduced in 1968 ) 1980 -- 73,000 Fabrication ( edit ) The K1 and the later K3 concrete kiosks were produced at various ( and largely unrecorded ) locations , around the country . This made quality control and supervision of the manufacturing process difficult , when compared to the GPO 's experience with cast - iron posting boxes , and was an important aspect of the GPO 's move towards cast - iron telephone kiosks . Over the years , five foundries were involved in this work for the Post Office . Lion Foundry in Kirkintilloch , MacFarlane ( Saracen Foundry ) , and Carron Ironworks near Falkirk all produced batches of the K2 , the K6 and the K8 ; and , in addition , Carron produced the single batch of K4 kiosks . The other two manufacturers were McDowall Steven and Bratt Colbran , both of which produced only relatively small batches of the pre-War Mk1 K6 . Although many kiosks have been fitted with replacement backs over recent years , unmodified examples generally have the identity of their manufacturer marked on a plate on the outside at the bottom of their back panel . The only exceptions are the few Mk1 models made by Bratt Colbran , which are anonymous . A supplementary way of identifying the manufacturer is by means of casting marks on the various component parts -- i.e. LF , CC , MF , MS and BC -- which were used to various extents over the years . A more consistent manufacturer mark can be found at about shoulder height on the inner face of the back panel . These marks generally identify both the manufacturer and the precise model of kiosk . Up to around 1949 , the year of manufacture is also included . The more recently erected non-BT K6 kiosks ( generally painted black ) are for the most part new castings , sourced from new manufacturers . Crown ( edit ) K6s , Charing Cross Road , London , showing different styles of crown : the Tudor Crown , in use 1936 -- 1953 ( left ) ; and St Edward 's Crown on separate plate , 1955 or later ( right ) . From 1926 onwards , the fascias of Post Office kiosks were emblazoned with a prominent crown , representing the British government ( of which the Post Office was an agency ) . The design was initially the `` Tudor Crown '' , then in widespread use in government service . The same crown was used in all parts of the United Kingdom and British Empire . On the K2 , the design was pierced through the ironwork , and acted as a ventilation hole . On the K6 , a separate ventilation slot was provided , and the crown was embossed in bas - relief . In 1953 the new Queen , Elizabeth II , decided to replace the Tudor Crown in all contexts with a representation of the actual crown generally used for British coronations , the St Edward 's Crown . This new symbol therefore began to appear on the fascias of K6 kiosks . St Edward 's Crown was initially used on kiosks in all parts of the United Kingdom . However , from 1955 , in Scotland , the Post Office opted to use a representation of the actual Crown of Scotland , in line with a wider policy for government agencies in Scotland . To accommodate the two different designs of crown on K6 kiosks , the fascia sections were henceforth cast with a slot in them , into which a plate bearing the appropriate crown was inserted before the roof section was fitted . The crowns were originally painted the same red as the rest of the box . However , since the early 1990s , when the heritage value of red kiosks began to be widely recognised , British Telecom has picked out the crowns ( on both K2s and K6s ) in gold paint . Kiosks installed in Kingston upon Hull were not fitted with a crown , as those kiosks were installed by the Hull Corporation ( later Hull City Council , then Kingston Communications ) . All boxes in Hull were also painted in cream . Modernisation -- K7 & K8 ( edit ) K8 Mk2 box at Amersham station In 1959 architect Neville Conder was commissioned to design a new box . The K7 design went no further than the prototype stage . K8 was introduced in 1968 designed by Bruce Martin . It was used primarily for new sites ; around 11000 were installed , replacing earlier models only when they needed relocating or had been damaged beyond repair . The K8 retained a red colour scheme , but it was a different shade of red : a slightly brighter `` Poppy Red '' , which went on to be the standard colour across all kiosks . The K8 featured a single large glass panel on two sides and the door . While improving visibility and illumination inside the box , these were vulnerable to damage . There were two versions -- the Mk1 and the Mk2 -- with the most visible difference being in the detail of the roof and the surround of the ' TELEPHONE ' opals . With regards to create a new box with easier access , lower maintenance and brighter lighting , the Post Office introduced a prototype run of `` Croydon '' telephone boxes from 1972 , named as such because they were erected in Croydon , Surrey . The Croydon boxes , which featured a black handset silhouette with bright yellow paintwork , were erected as an experimental prototype to replace the red telephone boxes . However , whilst the trials were successful , the quality of the materials and design made it too expensive for the Post Office to mass - produce and the design was not adopted . In either the late 1970s or late 1980s , a new , smaller hooded booth was introduced known as Booth 7A . These yellow booths were introduced into areas where previous red telephone boxes had been vandalised or even pulled out of the ground . They became known as `` Oakham '' boxes -- a reference to the similarity in shape with an Oak Ham tin . Privatisation and the KX series ( edit ) See also : KX telephone boxes In 1980 , in preparation for privatisation , Post Office Telephones was rebranded as British Telecom ( BT ) . In February 1981 , it was announced that all the red telephone boxes would be repainted yellow , which was BT 's new corporate colour . There was an immediate public outcry ; the Daily Mail launched a campaign `` against the yellow peril '' and questions were asked in Parliament . In the House of Lords , the Earl of Gowrie , the Minister of State for Employment , called on BT `` to abandon this ridiculous scheme '' . In the House of Commons , Mark Lennox - Boyd MP asked the Prime Minister , Margaret Thatcher , if she would treat the decision `` with the greatest possible dismay '' . Mrs Thatcher , who was responsible for the privatisation , would only say that she could `` see my honourable Friend 's point '' . Shortly afterwards , BT announced that only 90 of the 77,000 remaining traditional boxes had been painted different colours `` as an experiment '' and that no final decision had been reached . After privatisation in 1982 , British Telecom introduced the KX100 , a more utilitarian design , which began to replace most of the existing boxes . The KX100 was one of a series of designs , including the wheelchair - accessible open - sided KX200 , and the triangular - footprint KX300 . In January 1985 , Nick Kane , the Director of Marketing for BT Local Communications Services announced that the old red telephone boxes would be replaced because they `` ... no longer meet the needs of our customers . Few people like to use them . They are expensive and difficult to clean and maintain and can not be used by handicapped people '' . This time , BT did not relent , despite another vociferous campaign . Many local authorities used legislation designed to protect buildings of architectural or historic importance to keep old telephone boxes in prominent locations and around 2,000 of them were given listed status . Several thousand others were left on low - revenue mostly rural sites but many thousands of recovered K2 and K6 boxes were sold off . Some kiosks have been converted to be used as shower cubicles in private homes . In Kingston upon Thames a number of old K6 boxes have been used to form a work of art resembling a row of fallen dominoes . It is estimated that 11,000 traditional red telephone boxes remain in public service . The KX+ , better known as the KX100 PLUS , introduced in 1996 featured a domed roof reminiscent of the familiar K2 and K6 . Subsequent designs have departed significantly from the old style red boxes . BT followed the KX series with the Multi. phone in 1999 and the ST6 in 2007 . Adoption ( edit ) Little - used red telephone boxes can be adopted by parish councils in England for other uses . Some examples are shown below . The kiosk may be used for any legal purpose other than telephony and the contract of sale includes the following clause 5.5. 4 : The buyer shall covenant not to sell , lease or license the Goods to a competitor to the Seller nor to permit a competitor to install electronic communications apparatus ( as defined in schedule 2 of the Telecommunications Act 1984 ) within the Goods or itself ( as the Buyer ) shall not install , provide or operate any form of electronic communications apparatus ( as defined in schedule 2 of the Telecommunications Act 1984 ) within the Goods . It is unclear why BT wishes to prohibit the kiosk from being re-used for electronic communications and why the regulator , Ofcom , has allowed it . In the US , there is an active movement seeking new telecom uses for little - used telephone booths , e.g. as wi - fi hotspots . Libraries ( edit ) Decommissioned phone box converted into a mini-library , Whitwell , Isle of Wight , UK During 2009 a K6 in the village of Westbury - sub-Mendip in Somerset was converted into a library or book exchange replacing the services of the mobile library which no longer visits the village . Similar libraries now exist in the villages of North Cadbury in Somerset , Great Budworth in Cheshire , Little Shelford and Upwood in Cambridgeshire , and some 150 other locations . Art Gallery ( edit ) Also in 2009 , the town of Settle in North Yorkshire established the Gallery on the Green in a K6 , which had been adopted by the Parish Council . The Gallery has featured a range of exhibitions ( see the online gallery on the website ) of both notable artists and photographers ( Tessa Bunney , Martin Parr , Mariana Cook ) and local community groups . Its most famous contributor was Brian May , with his stereoscopic photography show ' A Village Lost and Found ' . Defibrillator ( edit ) Defibrillator phone box , Brent Pelham , Hertfordshire Following a competition by a Girl Guide unit in 2011 to find a use for their local disused telephone box in Glendaruel , Argyll , it has been fitted with a defibrillator . The equipment can only be accessed by following instructions from the Scottish Ambulance Service during an emergency call . The conversion of the box was paid for by BT under the Adopt A Kiosk scheme and the defibrillator was supplied by the Community Heartbeat Trust . A similar installation has been made at Loweswater , Cumbria . Other ( edit ) In 2010 , in the village of Brookwood , Surrey , a project was initiated to restore and preserve the sole remaining K6 kiosk in the village . The kiosk had been adopted by Woking Borough Council in 2009 and a group of residents set about restoring the kiosk . This was achieved through private donations and sponsorship from local businesses . A blog detailed the restoration . As of 2012 , remanufactured units were offered for sale by X2Connect . From October 2014 , several of London 's disused K6 telephone boxes have been painted green and converted to free mobile phone chargers named Solarboxes . They have been considered an outdoor kiosk alternative to indoor chargers such as the Chargebox . Usage elsewhere ( edit ) Imitation British - style box used as the entrance to a jazz club in Havana , Cuba Several of these distinctive telephone boxes have been installed on the Norman , Oklahoma , campus of the University of Oklahoma , where they continue to serve their originally intended function . Elsewhere in the United States , a few have also been installed in downtown Glenview , Illinois . There is also one outside the British Embassy in Washington , D.C . A red telephone box can also be found on the Courthouse Square in Oxford , Mississippi . There are two in use in Tennessee . One is located on the square in Collierville , Tennessee , and the other is located next to Pepper Palace in The Village Shops shopping center in Gatlinburg , Tennessee . In Massachusetts , there is also a red telephone box in the student centre of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . In addition , there is a red telephone box outside the town building ( town hall / police station / post office ) in the tiny mountain town of Rowe , Massachusetts , which is an original installation dating back to when the town of Rowe first got telephone service . Two red telephone boxes are on display at the World Showcase area of Disney 's Epcot in Orlando , Florida , one located in the United Kingdom area and one in the Canada area . One is on display at English Gardens a Place for Weddings in Winter Park close to downtown Orlando.An original K6 can also be found outside of the Allied Building in Treasure Island , Florida . There are also a few red boxes at the Ellenton Outlet Mall , just off I - 75 , near Bradenton , Florida . These still have their original STD code cards in place and have working US payphone equipment . There is a red telephone box in Westminster Maryland on the corner of West Main Street and Rt. 27 outside of Johanson 's Dining House . Australian Red Telephone Box in Ross , Tasmania In Lake Havasu City , Arizona , a few K6s arrived when the old London Bridge was preserved there . As they are in the US , and not under British restriction , they are fully functional , but with updated electronics to make them code compliant . British K6 phone boxes are to be found , painted green , in the centre of Kinsale , an old historic town in County Cork within the Republic of Ireland . Red telephone boxes are also found across Malta , Gozo , parts of the Caribbean such as Antigua , Barbados , as well as in Cyprus , showing that the colonial influence is still present . Some of those telephone booths are being used as internet kiosks . A box can also be found in the centre of the town of Chinon , France and another in the German town of Bad Münstereifel . Australia and New Zealand each had their own design of red telephone box , and some examples have been preserved in sensitive or historic sites . A brief and colourful campaign was run to `` save '' the red telephone box in New Zealand by the Wizard of New Zealand . In 2008 ten K6 telephone boxes were imported from the United Kingdom to the Israeli city of Petah Tikva and installed on its main street , Haim Ozer . Kingston upon Hull ( edit ) Kingston upon Hull was the only area of the UK not under the Post Office monopoly , with telephones being under the control of the Corporation of Hull ( city council ) . In Hull and the surrounding area this meant that the telephone boxes were painted cream and had the crown omitted . The Hull telephone system was subsequently privatised and is now operated by Kingston Communications . Kingston Communications ( KC ) have removed many of the famous cream K6 boxes circa 2007 . An outraged public complained that they were losing part of their heritage . KC have retained approx 125 K6s in use today . KC allocated limited numbers ( approximately 1,000 ) to be sold to the general public , and many were sold off before they had even been removed from service . Crown Dependencies ( edit ) The telephone services of the Crown Dependencies were split at various times from the GPO . Guernsey ( edit ) Guernsey Telecoms painted its kiosks yellow with white window frames ; they were repainted in blue when the company was sold to Cable and Wireless in 2002 . Jersey ( edit ) Jersey Telecom used locally made kiosks , painted in cream and yellow . Isle of man ( edit ) Manx Telecom has left its kiosks in the red colour used by its predecessors British Telecom and the GPO . A green telephone box exists in Cregneash , as was the practice in many rural areas of Britain . Overseas territories ( edit ) Gibraltar ( edit ) Gibtelecom operate Red Kiosks of various vintages . Portugal ( edit ) Outside of the former British Empire , red phone boxes can be seen in Portugal -- for example , they are a common sight in the city of Porto . Use in contemporary art ( edit ) Out of Order ( edit ) Out of Order Scottish sculptor David Mach created the permanent public work Out of Order in 1989 in Kingston upon Thames , London . It takes the form of a row of twelve K6 telephone boxes , the first one upright , the others gradually falling over like dominoes . It was originally intended that the first upright box was to contain a working telephone . BT Artboxes ( edit ) Ian Ritchie Architects ' copper `` Artbox '' next to the K2 prototype at Royal Academy of Arts , London In 2012 , BT helped celebrate the 25th anniversary of the free - phone charity ChildLine by commissioning eighty artists to design and decorate full - sized K6 replicas . These were displayed in public spaces across London and then auctioned by Sotheby 's as BT Artboxes . Artists included Peter Blake , Willie Christie , David Mach , Denis Masi , Zaha Hadid and Ian Ritchie . Pop culture ( edit ) The red telephone box has appeared in British pop culture , such as in Adele 's video `` Hello '' , the front cover of One Direction 's album Take Me Home , the back cover of David Bowie 's album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars , and features in a prominent scene in the 1955 black comedy film The Ladykillers where a motley gang of crooks led by Professor Marcus ( Alec Guinness ) cram into one .

Iron Curtain
Iron Curtain - wikipedia Iron Curtain Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Iron Curtain ( disambiguation ) . The Iron Curtain depicted as a black line . Warsaw Pact countries on one side of the Iron Curtain appear shaded red ; NATO members on the other shaded blue ; militarily neutral countries shaded gray . The black dot represents Berlin . Yugoslavia , although communist - ruled , remained largely independent of the two major blocs and is shaded green . Communist Albania broke off contacts with the Soviet Union in the early 1960s , aligning itself with the People 's Republic of China after the Sino - Soviet split ; it appears stripe - hatched with grey . The Iron Curtain was the name for the boundary dividing Europe into two separate areas from the end of World War II in 1945 until the end of the Cold War in 1991 . The term symbolizes the efforts by the Soviet Union to block itself and its satellite states from open contact with the West and non-Soviet - controlled areas . On the east side of the Iron Curtain were the countries that were connected to or influenced by the Soviet Union . Separate international economic and military alliances were developed on each side of the Iron Curtain : Member countries of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance and the Warsaw Pact , with the Soviet Union as the leading state Member countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ( NATO ) and with the United States as the pre-eminent power Physically , the Iron Curtain took the form of border defences between the countries of Europe in the middle of the continent . The most notable border was marked by the Berlin Wall and its Checkpoint Charlie , which served as a symbol of the Curtain as a whole . The events that demolished the Iron Curtain started in discontent in Poland , and continued in Hungary , the German Democratic Republic ( East Germany ) , Bulgaria , Czechoslovakia , and Romania . Romania became the only communist state in Europe to overthrow its totalitarian government with violence . The use of the term iron curtain as a metaphor for strict separation goes back at least as far as the early 19th century . It originally referred to fireproof curtains in theaters . Although its popularity as a Cold War symbol is attributed to its use in a speech Winston Churchill gave in March 1946 in Fulton , Missouri , German Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels had already used the term in reference to the Soviet Union .

The concept goes back to the Babylonian Talmud of the 3rd to 5th centuries CE , where Tractate Sota 38b refers to a `` mechitza shel barzel '' , an iron barrier or divider : `` אפילו מחיצה של ברזל אינה מפסקת בין ישראל לאביהם שבשמים '' ( Even an iron barrier can not separate ( the people of ) Israel from their heavenly father ) . The term `` iron curtain '' has since been used metaphorically in two rather different senses - firstly to denote the end of an era and secondly to denote a closed geopolitical border . The source of these metaphors can refer to either the safety curtain deployed in theatres ( the first one was installed by the Theatre Royal , Drury Lane in 1794 ) or to roller shutters used to secure commercial premises . The first metaphorical usage of `` iron curtain '' , in the sense of an end of an era , perhaps should be attributed to British author Arthur Machen ( 1863 -- 1947 ) , who used the term in his 1895 novel The Three Impostors : `` ... the door clanged behind me with the noise of thunder , and I felt that an iron curtain had fallen on the brief passage of my life '' . It is interesting to note the English translation of a Russian text shown immediately below repeats the use of `` clang '' with reference to an `` iron curtain '' , suggesting that the Russian writer , publishing 23 years after Machen , may have been familiar with the popular British author . Queen Elisabeth of the Belgians used the term `` Iron Curtain '' in the context of World War I to describe the political situation between Belgium and Germany in 1914 . The first recorded application of the term to Communist Russia , again in the sense of the end of an era , comes in Vasily Rozanov 's 1918 polemic The Apocalypse of Our Times , and it is possible that Churchill read it there following the publication of the book 's English translation in 1920 . The passage runs : With clanging , creaking , and squeaking , an iron curtain is lowering over Russian History . `` The performance is over . '' The audience got up . `` Time to put on your fur coats and go home . '' We looked around , but the fur coats and homes were missing . ( Incidentally , this same passage provides a definition of nihilism adopted by Raoul Vaneigem , Guy Debord and other Situationists as the intention of situationist intervention . ) The first English - language use of the term iron curtain applied to the border of communist Russia in the sense of `` an impenetrable barrier '' was used in 1920 by Ethel Snowden , in her book Through Bolshevik Russia . G.K. Chesterton used the phrase in a 1924 essay in The Illustrated London News . Chesterton , while defending Distributism , refers to `` that iron curtain of industrialism that has cut us off not only from our neighbours ' condition , but even from our own past '' . The term also appears in the 1933 satirical novel England , Their England ; used there to describe the way an artillery barrage protected the infantry from an enemy assault : `` ... the western sky was a blaze of yellow flame . The iron curtain was down '' . Sebastian Haffner used the metaphor in his book Germany : Jekyll & Hyde , published in London in 1940 , in introducing his discussion of the Nazi rise to power in Germany in 1933 : `` Back then to March 1933 . How , a moment before the iron curtain was wrung down on it , did the German political stage appear ? '' All German theatres had to install an iron curtain ( eiserner Vorhang ) as an obligatory precaution to prevent the possibility of fire spreading from the stage to the rest of the theatre . Such fires were rather common because the decor often was very flammable . In case of fire , a metal wall would separate the stage from the theatre , secluding the flames to be extinguished by firefighters . Douglas Reed used this metaphor in his book Disgrace Abounding : `` The bitter strife ( in Yugoslavia between Serb unionists and Croat federalists ) had only been hidden by the iron safety - curtain of the King 's dictatorship '' . A May 1943 article in Signal , a Nazi illustrated propaganda periodical published in many languages , bore the title `` Behind the Iron Curtain '' . It discussed `` the iron curtain that more than ever before separates the world from the Soviet Union '' . The German Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels wrote in his weekly newspaper Das Reich that if the Nazis should lose the war a Soviet - formed `` iron curtain '' would arise because of agreements made by Stalin , Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill at the Yalta Conference : `` An iron curtain would fall over this enormous territory controlled by the Soviet Union , behind which nations would be slaughtered '' . The first recorded oral intentional mention of an Iron Curtain in the Soviet context occurred in a broadcast by Lutz von Krosigk to the German people on 2 May 1945 : `` In the East the iron curtain behind which , unseen by the eyes of the world , the work of destruction goes on , is moving steadily forward '' . Churchill 's first recorded use of the term `` iron curtain '' came in a 12 May 1945 telegram he sent to U.S. President Harry S. Truman regarding his concern about Soviet actions , stating `` ( a ) n iron curtain is drawn down upon their front . We do not know what is going on behind '' . He was further concerned about `` another immense flight of the German population westward as this enormous Muscovite advance towards the centre of Europe '' . Churchill concluded `` then the curtain will descend again to a very large extent , if not entirely . Thus a broad land of many hundreds of miles of Russian - occupied territory will isolate us from Poland '' . Churchill repeated the words in a further telegram to President Truman on 4 June 1945 , in which he protested against such a U.S. retreat to what was earlier designated as , and ultimately became , the U.S. occupation zone , saying the military withdrawal would bring `` Soviet power into the heart of Western Europe and the descent of an iron curtain between us and everything to the eastward '' . At the Potsdam Conference , Churchill complained to Stalin about an `` iron fence '' coming down upon the British Mission in Bucharest . The first American print reference to the `` Iron Curtain '' occurred when C.L. Sulzberger of The New York Times first used it in a dispatch published on 23 July 1945 . He had heard the term used by Vladko Maček , a Croatian politician , a Yugoslav opposition leader who had fled his homeland for Paris in May 1945 . Maček told Sulzberger , `` During the four years while I was interned by the Germans in Croatia I saw how the Partisans were lowering an iron curtain over Jugoslavia ( Yugoslavia ) so that nobody could know what went on behind it '' . The term was first used in the British House of Commons by Churchill on 16 August 1945 when he stated `` it is not impossible that tragedy on a prodigious scale is unfolding itself behind the iron curtain which at the moment divides Europe in twain '' . Allen Dulles used the term in a speech on 3 December 1945 , referring to only Germany , following his conclusion that `` in general the Russians are acting little better than thugs '' , had `` wiped out all the liquid assets '' , and refused to issue food cards to emigrating Germans , leaving them `` often more dead than alive '' . Dulles concluded that `` ( a ) n iron curtain has descended over the fate of these people and very likely conditions are truly terrible . The promises at Yalta to the contrary , probably 8 to 10 million people are being enslaved '' . During the Cold War ( edit ) Building antagonism ( edit ) Further information : Origins of the Cold War and Cold War ( 1947 -- 1953 ) Remains of the `` iron curtain '' in Devínska Nová Ves , Bratislava ( Slovakia ) . Preserved part of `` iron curtain '' in the Czech Republic . The antagonism between the Soviet Union and the West that came to be described as the `` iron curtain '' had various origins . The Allied Powers and the Central Powers had backed the White movement against the Bolsheviks during the 1918 -- 1920 Russian Civil War , and the Soviets had not forgotten the fact . During the summer of 1939 , after conducting negotiations both with a British - French group and with Nazi Germany regarding potential military and political agreements , the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany signed the German -- Soviet Commercial Agreement ( which provided for the trade of certain German military and civilian equipment in exchange for Soviet raw materials ) and the Molotov - Ribbentrop Pact ( signed in late August 1939 ) , named after the foreign secretaries of the two countries ( Vyacheslav Molotov and Joachim von Ribbentrop ) , which included a secret agreement to split Poland and Eastern Europe between the two states . The Soviets thereafter occupied Eastern Poland ( September 1939 ) , Latvia ( June 1940 ) , Lithuania ( 1940 ) , northern Romania ( Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina , late June 1940 ) , Estonia ( 1940 ) and eastern Finland ( March 1940 ) . From August 1939 , relations between the West and the Soviets deteriorated further when the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany engaged in an extensive economic relationship by which the Soviet Union sent Germany vital oil , rubber , manganese and other materials in exchange for German weapons , manufacturing machinery and technology . Nazi - Soviet trade ended in June 1941 when Germany broke the Pact and invaded the Soviet Union in Operation Barbarossa . In the course of World War II , Stalin determined to acquire a buffer area against Germany , with pro-Soviet states on its border in an Eastern bloc . Stalin 's aims led to strained relations at the Yalta Conference ( February 1945 ) and the subsequent Potsdam Conference ( August 1945 ) . People in the West expressed opposition to Soviet domination over the buffer states , and the fear grew that the Soviets were building an empire that might be a threat to them and their interests . Nonetheless , at the Potsdam Conference , the Allies assigned parts of Poland , Finland , Romania , Germany , and the Balkans to Soviet control or influence . In return , Stalin promised the Western Allies that he would allow those territories the right to national self - determination . Despite Soviet cooperation during the war , these concessions left many in the West uneasy . In particular , Churchill feared that the United States might return to its pre-war isolationism , leaving the exhausted European states unable to resist Soviet demands . ( President Franklin D. Roosevelt had announced at Yalta that after the defeat of Germany , U.S. forces would withdraw from Europe within two years . ) Iron Curtain speech ( edit ) Wikisource has original text related to this article : Iron Curtain Speech Winston Churchill 's `` Sinews of Peace '' address of 5 March 1946 , at Westminster College , used the term `` iron curtain '' in the context of Soviet - dominated Eastern Europe : The Iron Curtain as described by Churchill at Westminster College . Note that Vienna is indeed behind the Curtain , as it was in the Austrian Soviet - occupied zone . From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an `` Iron Curtain '' has descended across the continent . Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe . Warsaw , Berlin , Prague , Vienna , Budapest , Belgrade , Bucharest and Sofia ; all these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere , and all are subject , in one form or another , not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and in some cases increasing measure of control from Moscow . Churchill 's geographical description of the Iron Curtain was ambiguous as to which side of the Iron Curtain the Soviet occupation zones of Germany and Austria were on -- Churchill described Berlin and Vienna , then divided into American , British , French and Soviet occupation zones but also surrounded by their countries ' respective Soviet zones , as being `` in ... the Soviet sphere . '' But Churchill also defined the Baltic terminus of the Iron Curtain as being Stettin , which is on the Oder - Neisse Line , thus implying the Iron Curtain to run along the revised Polish - German border as opposed to the border between the British and Soviet occupation zones in Germany . Had Churchill wanted to imply the Soviet Zone of Germany to be on the eastern side of the Iron Curtain , he should have named Lübeck in place of Stettin . In any event , at the time of Churchill 's speech the re-establishment of Austrian and German states with the latter encompassing Germany 's pre-1938 territories west of the Oder - Neisse line was assumed to be part of an inevitable final peace settlement . Much of the Western public still regarded the Soviet Union as a close ally in the context of the recent defeat of Nazi Germany and of Japan . Although not well received at the time , the phrase iron curtain gained popularity as a shorthand reference to the division of Europe as the Cold War strengthened . The Iron Curtain served to keep people in and information out , and people throughout the West eventually came to accept and use the metaphor . Churchill 's `` Sinews of Peace '' address was to strongly criticise the Soviet Union 's exclusive and secretive tension policies along with the Eastern Europe 's state form , Police State ( Polizeistaat ) . He expressed the Allied Nations ' distrust of the Soviet Union after the World War II . In the same year September , US - Soviet Union cooperation line collapsed due to the disavowal of the Soviet Union 's opinion on the German problem in the Stuttgart Council , and then followed the U.S. President Harry S. Truman 's announcement of enactment of hard anti-Soviet Union , anticommunism line policy . Since then , this phrase became popular and was widely used as anti-Soviet Union propaganda term in the Western countries . In addition , Churchill mentioned in his speech that regions under the Soviet Union 's control were expanding their leverage and power without any restriction . He asserted that in order to put a brake on this ongoing phenomenon , the commanding force of and strong unity between the UK and the U.S. was necessary . Stalin took note of Churchill 's speech and responded in Pravda soon afterward . He accused Churchill of warmongering , and defended Soviet `` friendship '' with eastern European states as a necessary safeguard against another invasion . He further accused Churchill of hoping to install right - wing governments in eastern Europe with the goal of agitating those states against the Soviet Union . Andrei Zhdanov , Stalin 's chief propagandist , used the term against the West in an August 1946 speech : Hard as bourgeois politicians and writers may strive to conceal the truth of the achievements of the Soviet order and Soviet culture , hard as they may strive to erect an iron curtain to keep the truth about the Soviet Union from penetrating abroad , hard as they may strive to belittle the genuine growth and scope of Soviet culture , all their efforts are foredoomed to failure . Political , economic and military realities ( edit ) Eastern Bloc ( edit ) A map of the Eastern Bloc . Main article : Eastern Bloc While the Iron Curtain remained in place , much of Eastern Europe and parts of Central Europe ( except West Germany , Liechtenstein , Switzerland and Austria ) found themselves under the hegemony of the Soviet Union . The Soviet Union annexed : Estonia , Latvia Lithuania as Soviet Socialist Republics within the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics . Germany effectively gave Moscow a free hand in much of these territories in the Molotov - Ribbentrop Pact of 1939 , signed before Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941 . Other Soviet - annexed territories included : Eastern Poland ( incorporated into Ukrainian and Byelorussian SSRs ) , Part of eastern Finland ( became part of the Karelo - Finnish SSR ) Northern Romania ( part of which became the Moldavian SSR ) . Kaliningrad Oblast , the northern half of East Prussia , taken in 1945 . Between 1945 and 1949 the Soviets converted the following areas into Soviet satellite states : The German Democratic Republic The People 's Republic of Bulgaria The People 's Republic of Poland The Hungarian People 's Republic The Czechoslovak Socialist Republic The People 's Republic of Romania The People 's Socialist Republic of Albania ( which re-aligned itself in the 1960s away from the Soviet Union and towards the People 's Republic of China ) Soviet - installed governments ruled the Eastern Bloc countries , with the exception of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia , which retained its full independence . The majority of European states to the east of the Iron Curtain developed their own international economic and military alliances , such as COMECON and the Warsaw Pact . West of the Iron Curtain ( edit ) Fence along the East / West border in Germany ( near Witzenhausen - Heiligenstadt ) Sign warning of approach to within one kilometer of the inter-zonal German border , 1986 To the west of the Iron Curtain , the countries of Western Europe , Northern Europe and Southern Europe -- along with Austria , West Germany , Liechtenstein and Switzerland -- operated market economies . With the exception of a period of fascism in Spain ( until 1975 ) and Portugal ( until 1974 ) and a military dictatorship in Greece ( 1967 -- 1974 ) , democratic governments ruled these countries . Most of the states of Europe to the west of the Iron Curtain -- with the exception of neutral Switzerland , Liechtenstein , Austria , Sweden , Finland , Malta and Republic of Ireland -- allied themselves with the United States and Canada within NATO . Economically , the European Community and the European Free Trade Association represented Western counterparts to COMECON . Most of the nominally neutral states were economically closer to the United States than they were to the Warsaw Pact . Further division in the late 1940s ( edit ) Further information : Marshall Plan , Falsifiers of History , Berlin Airlift , and Czechoslovak coup d'état of 1948 In January 1947 Harry Truman appointed General George Marshall as Secretary of State , scrapped Joint Chiefs of Staff ( JCS ) directive 1067 ( which embodied the Morgenthau Plan ) and supplanted it with JCS 1779 , which decreed that an orderly and prosperous Europe requires the economic contributions of a stable and productive Germany . '' Administration officials met with Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov and others to press for an economically self - sufficient Germany , including a detailed accounting of the industrial plants , goods and infrastructure already removed by the Soviets . After five and a half weeks of negotiations , Molotov refused the demands and the talks were adjourned . Marshall was particularly discouraged after personally meeting with Stalin , who expressed little interest in a solution to German economic problems . The United States concluded that a solution could not wait any longer . In a 5 June 1947 speech , Marshall announced a comprehensive program of American assistance to all European countries wanting to participate , including the Soviet Union and those of Eastern Europe , called the Marshall Plan . Stalin opposed the Marshall Plan . He had built up the Eastern Bloc protective belt of Soviet controlled nations on his Western border , and wanted to maintain this buffer zone of states combined with a weakened Germany under Soviet control . Fearing American political , cultural and economic penetration , Stalin eventually forbade Soviet Eastern bloc countries of the newly formed Cominform from accepting Marshall Plan aid . In Czechoslovakia , that required a Soviet - backed Czechoslovak coup d'état of 1948 , the brutality of which shocked Western powers more than any event so far and set in a motion a brief scare that war would occur and swept away the last vestiges of opposition to the Marshall Plan in the United States Congress . Relations further deteriorated when , in January 1948 , the U.S. State Department also published a collection of documents titled Nazi - Soviet Relations , 1939 -- 1941 : Documents from the Archives of The German Foreign Office , which contained documents recovered from the Foreign Office of Nazi Germany revealing Soviet conversations with Germany regarding the Molotov - Ribbentrop Pact , including its secret protocol dividing eastern Europe , the 1939 German - Soviet Commercial Agreement , and discussions of the Soviet Union potentially becoming the fourth Axis Power . In response , one month later , the Soviet Union published Falsifiers of History , a Stalin - edited and partially re-written book attacking the West . After the Marshall Plan , the introduction of a new currency to Western Germany to replace the debased Reichsmark and massive electoral losses for communist parties , in June 1948 , the Soviet Union cut off surface road access to Berlin , initiating the Berlin Blockade , which cut off all non-Soviet food , water and other supplies for the citizens of the non-Soviet sectors of Berlin . Because Berlin was located within the Soviet - occupied zone of Germany , the only available methods of supplying the city were three limited air corridors . A massive aerial supply campaign was initiated by the United States , Britain , France and other countries , the success of which caused the Soviets to lift their blockade in May 1949 . Emigration restrictions ( edit ) Main article : Eastern Bloc emigration and defection Remains of Iron Curtain in former Czechoslovakia One of the conclusions of the Yalta Conference was that the western Allies would return all Soviet citizens who found themselves in their zones to the Soviet Union . This affected the liberated Soviet prisoners of war ( branded as traitors ) , forced laborers , anti-Soviet collaborators with the Germans , and anti-communist refugees . Migration from east to west of the Iron Curtain , except under limited circumstances , was effectively halted after 1950 . Before 1950 , over 15 million people ( mainly ethnic Germans ) emigrated from Soviet - occupied eastern European countries to the west in the five years immediately following World War II . However , restrictions implemented during the Cold War stopped most East - West migration , with only 13.3 million migrations westward between 1950 and 1990 . More than 75 % of those emigrating from Eastern Bloc countries between 1950 and 1990 did so under bilateral agreements for `` ethnic migration . '' About 10 % were refugees permitted to emigrate under the Geneva Convention of 1951 . Most Soviets allowed to leave during this time period were ethnic Jews permitted to emigrate to Israel after a series of embarrassing defections in 1970 caused the Soviets to open very limited ethnic emigrations . The fall of the Iron Curtain was accompanied by a massive rise in European East - West migration . As a physical entity ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification .

( March 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Further information : Inner German border and Czechoslovakian border fortifications during the Cold War Preserved section of the border between East Germany and West Germany called the `` Little Berlin Wall '' at Mödlareuth . The Iron Curtain took physical shape in the form of border defenses between the countries of western and eastern Europe . These were some of the most heavily militarised areas in the world , particularly the so - called `` inner German border '' -- commonly known as die Grenze in German -- between East and West Germany . The inner German border was marked in rural areas by double fences made of steel mesh ( expanded metal ) with sharp edges , while near urban areas a high concrete barrier similar to the Berlin Wall was built . The installation of the Wall in 1961 brought an end to a decade during which the divided capital of divided Germany was one of the easiest places to move west across the Iron Curtain . The barrier was always a short distance inside East German territory to avoid any intrusion into Western territory . The actual borderline was marked by posts and signs and was overlooked by numerous watchtowers set behind the barrier . The strip of land on the West German side of the barrier -- between the actual borderline and the barrier -- was readily accessible but only at considerable personal risk , because it was patrolled by both East and West German border guards . Fence along the former East - West border in Germany Several villages , many historic , were destroyed as they lay too close to the border , for example Erlebach . Shooting incidents were not uncommon , and a total of 28 East German border guards and several hundred civilians were killed between 1948 -- 1981 ( some may have been victims of `` friendly fire '' by their own side ) . Elsewhere along the border between West and East , the defense works resembled those on the intra-German border . During the Cold War , the border zone in Hungary started 15 kilometres ( 9.3 mi ) from the border . Citizens could only enter the area if they lived in the zone or had a passport valid for traveling out . Traffic control points and patrols enforced this regulation . Those who lived within the 15 kilometres ( 9.3 mi ) border - zone needed special permission to enter the area within 5 kilometres ( 3.1 mi ) of the border . The area was very difficult to approach and heavily fortified . In the 1950s and 1960s , a double barbed - wire fence was installed 50 metres ( 160 ft ) from the border . The space between the two fences were laden with land mines . The minefield was later replaced with an electric signal fence ( about 1 kilometre ( 0.62 mi ) from the border ) and a barbed wire fence , along with guard towers and a sand strip to track border violations . Regular patrols sought to prevent escape attempts . They included cars and mounted units . Guards and dog patrol units watched the border 24 / 7 and were authorised to use their weapons to stop escapees . The wire fence nearest the actual border was irregularly displaced from the actual border , which was marked only by stones . Anyone attempting to escape would have to cross up to 400 metres ( 1,300 ft ) before they could cross the actual border . Several escape attempts failed when the escapees were stopped after crossing the outer fence . In parts of Czechoslovakia , the border strip became hundreds of meters wide , and an area of increasing restrictions was defined as the border was approached . Only people with the appropriate government permissions were allowed to get close to the border . The Soviet Union built a fence along the entire border to Norway and Finland . It is located one or a few kilometres from the border , and has automatic alarms detecting if someone climbs over it . In Greece , a highly militarised area called the `` Επιτηρούμενη Ζώνη '' ( `` Surveillance Area '' ) was created by the Greek Army along the Greek - Bulgarian border , subject to significant security - related regulations and restrictions . Inhabitants within this 25 km wide strip of land were forbidden to drive cars , own land bigger than 60 m and had to travel within the area with a special passport issued by Greek military authorities . Additionally , the Greek state used this area to encapsulate and monitor a non-Greek ethnic minority , the Pomaks , a Muslim and Bulgarian - speaking minority which was regarded as hostile to the interests of the Greek state during the Cold War because of its familiarity with their fellow Pomaks living on the other side of the Iron Curtain . The Hungarian outer fence became the first part of the Iron Curtain to be dismantled . After the border fortifications were dismantled , a section was rebuilt for a formal ceremony . On 27 June 1989 , the foreign ministers of Austria and Hungary , Alois Mock and Gyula Horn , ceremonially cut through the border defences separating their countries . The creation of these highly militarised no - man 's lands led to de facto nature reserves and created a wildlife corridor across Europe ; this helped the spread of several species to new territories . Since the fall of the Iron Curtain , several initiatives are pursuing the creation of a European Green Belt nature preserve area along the Iron Curtain 's former route . In fact , a long - distance cycling route along the length of the former border called the Iron Curtain Trail ( ICT ) exists as a project of the European Union and other associated nations . The trail is 6,800 km ( 4,200 mi ) long and spans from Finland to Greece . The term `` Iron Curtain '' was only used for the fortified borders in Europe ; it was not used for similar borders in Asia between communist and capitalist states ( these were , for a time , dubbed the Bamboo Curtain ) . The border between North Korea and South Korea is very comparable to the former inner German border , particularly in its degree of militarisation , but it has never conventionally been considered part of any Iron Curtain . Helmstedt - Marienborn crossing ( edit ) Main article : Helmstedt - Marienborn border crossing Fall of the Iron Curtain ( edit ) Further information : Eastern Bloc , Revolutions of 1989 , Dissolution of the Soviet Union , and European integration East German border - guards look through a hole in the Berlin Wall in 1990 The dissolution of the Eastern Bloc . Following a period of economic and political stagnation under Brezhnev and his immediate successors , the Soviet Union decreased its intervention in Eastern Bloc politics . Mikhail Gorbachev ( General Secretary from 1985 ) decreased adherence to the Brezhnev Doctrine , which held that if socialism were threatened in any state then other socialist governments had an obligation to intervene to preserve it , in favor of the `` Sinatra Doctrine '' . He also initiated the policies of glasnost ( openness ) and perestroika ( economic restructuring ) . A wave of Revolutions occurred throughout the Eastern Bloc in 1989 . In April 1989 the People 's Republic of Poland legalised the Solidarity organisation , which captured 99 % of available parliamentary seats in June . These elections , in which anti-communist candidates won a striking victory , inaugurated a series of peaceful anti-communist revolutions in Central and Eastern Europe that eventually culminated in the fall of communism . On 19 August 1989 , more than 600 East Germans attending the `` Pan-European Picnic '' on the Hungarian border broke through the Iron Curtain and fled into Austria . Hungarian border guards had threatened to shoot anyone crossing the border , but when the time came , they did not intervene and allowed the people to cross . In a historic session from 16 to 20 October , the Hungarian parliament adopted legislation providing for multi-party parliamentary elections and a direct presidential election . The legislation transformed Hungary from a People 's Republic into the Republic of Hungary , guaranteed human and civil rights , and created an institutional structure that ensured separation of powers among the judicial , legislative , and executive branches of government . In November 1989 , following mass protests in East Germany and the relaxing of border restrictions in Czechoslovakia , tens of thousands of East Berliners flooded checkpoints along the Berlin Wall , crossing into West Berlin . In the People 's Republic of Bulgaria , the day after the mass crossings across the Berlin Wall , leader Todor Zhivkov was ousted . In the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic , following protests of an estimated half - million Czechoslovaks , the government permitted travel to the west and abolished provisions guaranteeing the ruling Communist party its leading role , preceding the Velvet Revolution . In the Socialist Republic of Romania , on 22 December 1989 , the Romanian military sided with protesters and turned on Communist ruler Nicolae Ceauşescu , who was executed after a brief trial three days later . In the People 's Socialist Republic of Albania , a new package of regulations went into effect on 3 July 1990 entitling all Albanians over the age of 16 to own a passport for foreign travel . Meanwhile , hundreds of Albanian citizens gathered around foreign embassies to seek political asylum and flee the country . The Berlin Wall officially remained guarded after 9 November 1989 , although the inter-German border had become effectively meaningless . The official dismantling of the Wall by the East German military did not begin until June 1990 . In July 1990 , the day East Germany adopted the West German currency , all border - controls ceased and West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl convinced Gorbachev to drop Soviet objections to a reunited Germany within NATO in return for substantial German economic aid to the Soviet Union . Monuments ( edit ) This caption does not clearly identify the subject . ( July 2017 ) Memorial in Budapest . There is an Iron Curtain monument in the southern part of the Czech Republic at approximately 48 ° 52 ′ 32 '' N 15 ° 52 ′ 29 '' E  /  48.8755 ° N 15.87477 ° E  / 48.8755 ; 15.87477  ( Iron Curtain monument ) . A few hundred meters of the original fence , and one of the guard towers , has remained installed . There are interpretive signs in Czech and English that explain the history and significance of the Iron Curtain . This is the only surviving part of the fence in the Czech Republic , though several guard towers and bunkers can still be seen . Some of these are part of the Communist Era defences , some are from the never - used Czechoslovak border fortifications in defence against Adolf Hitler , and some towers were , or have become , hunting platforms . Another monument is located in Fertőrákos , Hungary , at the site of the Pan-European Picnic . On the eastern hill of the stone quarry stands a metal sculpture by Gabriela von Habsburg . It is a column made of metal and barbed wire with the date of the Pan-European Picnic and the names of participants . On the ribbon under the board is the Latin text : '' In necessariis unitas -- in dubiis libertas -- in omnibus caritas . '' ( Unity in unavoidable matters -- freedom in doubtful matters -- love in all things . ) The memorial symbolises the iron curtain and recalls forever the memories of the border breakthrough in 1989 . Another monument is located in the village of Devín , now part of Bratislava , Slovakia , at the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers . There are several open air museums in parts of the former inner German border , as for example in Berlin and in Mödlareuth , a village that has been divided for several hundred years . The memory of the division is being kept alive in many other places along the Grenze . Analogous terms ( edit ) Throughout the Cold War the term `` curtain '' would become a common euphemism for boundaries -- physical or ideological -- between communist and capitalist states . An analogue of the Iron Curtain , the Bamboo Curtain , surrounded the People 's Republic of China . As the standoff between the West and the countries of the Iron and Bamboo curtains eased with the end of the Cold War , the term fell out of any but historical usage . The short distance , 3.8 km ( 2.4 mi ) , between the Soviet Union ( Big Diomede ) and the U.S. ( Little Diomede Island , state of Alaska ) in the Bering Sea became known as the `` Ice Curtain '' during the Cold War . A field of cacti surrounding the U.S. Naval station at Guantanamo Bay planted by Cuba was occasionally termed the `` Cactus Curtain '' . The phrase `` Grass Curtain '' was used by South Sudanese during the First Sudanese Civil War to describe the oppression that hid political violence in Southern Sudan from wider attention .

Barnum and his troupe perform a show at the circus ( `` The Greatest Show '' ) . In a flashback to Barnum 's childhood where he and his father Philo , a tailor , work for the Hallett family , he becomes infatuated with their daughter , Charity . Though Charity is being sent to finishing school , Barnum reassures her they will not be separated . The two keep in touch through letters until they meet again in adulthood ( `` A Million Dreams '' ) , eventually marrying and raising two daughters , Caroline and Helen , in New York City ( `` A Million Dreams '' reprise ) . They live a humble life ; though Charity is happy , Barnum dreams of more . Barnum loses his job as a clerk at a shipping company after the company goes bankrupt . Taking a risky bet , he takes out a large loan from a bank , deceiving the bank into accepting his former employer 's lost ships as collateral . He uses this loan to buy Barnum 's American Museum in downtown Manhattan , an attraction showcasing various wax models . Initially , sales are slow ; on the suggestion of his children to showcase something `` alive '' , Barnum searches for `` freaks '' to serve as performers for his museum ( `` Come Alive '' ) . This attracts a large audience despite protests and poor reviews , prompting Barnum to rename his venture `` Barnum 's Circus . '' Searching for ways to further his reputation amongst the upper class , Barnum meets playwright Phillip Carlyle and convinces him to join his venture ( `` The Other Side '' ) . Carlyle is enchanted with Anne Wheeler , an African - American trapeze artist , but he hides his feelings . During a trip , Carlyle arranges for Barnum and his troupe to meet Queen Victoria . Afterwards , Barnum meets Jenny Lind , a famed Swedish singer , whom he convinces to perform in America , with him serving as her manager . Lind 's first American performance is a rousing success ( `` Never Enough '' ) . While Barnum gains favor with the aristocratic patrons , he begins to distance himself from his original troupe , refusing to socialize with them . Dejected , they decide to stand against their local harassers ( `` This Is Me '' ) . Carlyle and Wheeler attend the theater together one night , only to run into Carlyle 's parents , who are blatantly racist toward Wheeler , causing her to leave . Carlyle chases her and tries to convince her that they can be together , but she rejects him despite her feelings towards him ( `` Rewrite the Stars '' ) . As Barnum takes Lind on a US tour , Charity feels isolated from her husband as she stays home with their daughters ( `` Tightrope '' ) . While on tour , Lind begins falling in love with Barnum , but when he refuses her advances , she calls off the tour and kisses him at the end of her last show , which is photographed by the press ( `` Never Enough '' reprise ) . Barnum returns home to find his circus on fire , caused by a fight between the protesters and the troupe . Carlyle , who had tried to save Anne not knowing she had already escaped , is rescued by Barnum amid the chaos but suffers severe burns . Most of the sets and props are destroyed . Word of Lind 's cancellation and Barnum 's public intimacy also reaches New York , resulting in his mansion being foreclosed upon and Charity taking Caroline and Helen to her parents ' home . Depressed , Barnum retreats to a local bar , where his troupe find him there and explain that despite their disappointments , they still consider themselves a family that needs him . An inspired Barnum resolves to start anew and not let ambition overtake his loved ones anymore . Meanwhile , the injured Carlyle wakes in a hospital with Anne by his side and they share a kiss ( `` From Now On '' ) . Barnum leaves and finds his estranged wife , and they decide to mend their relationship . Faced with the financial difficulty of rebuilding the circus , the recovering Carlyle steps in , offering to use his earnings from his share of the circus 's profits to rebuild it under the condition of becoming partners , which Barnum happily accepts . As rebuilding the circus in its original location would be too expensive , Barnum rebuilds it as an open - air tent circus by the docks . The revamped circus is a huge success , and Barnum gives full control of the show to Carlyle so he can focus on his family ( `` The Greatest Show '' reprise ) . Cast ( edit ) Hugh Jackman as P.T.

Critical response ( edit ) On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 56 % based on 208 reviews , and an average rating of 6 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` The Greatest Showman tries hard to dazzle the audience with a Barnum - style sense of wonder -- but at the expense of its complex subject 's far more intriguing real - life story . '' On Metacritic , the film has a weighted average score of 48 out of 100 , based on 43 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A '' on an A+ to F scale , while it earned a 70 % `` definite recommend '' from comScore . Owen Gleiberman of Variety gave the film a positive review , writing , `` The Greatest Showman is a concoction , the kind of film where all the pieces click into place , yet at an hour and 45 minutes it flies by , and the link it draws between P.T. Barnum and the spirit of today is more than hype . '' Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun - Times gave the film 3 / 4 stars , saying , `` With all that corn and cheese and old - timey sentiment , The Greatest Showman ends up scoring some very timely social arguments . P.T. Barnum himself would have approved the dramatic sleight of hand . '' Steve Persall of Tampa Bay Times gave the film an ' A ' , and said , `` The Greatest Showman is the feel - good movie the holiday season needs , '' while William Bibbiani of IGN gave The Greatest Showman a score of 7.9 / 10 , and called the film , `` wildly entertaining . '' Britton Peele of The Dallas Morning News said , `` The story is interesting and the beats are well - acted , but it 's the musical numbers that make The Greatest Showman . '' Jackie K Cooper of HuffPost gave the film a score of 10 / 10 and wrote , `` You will be overwhelmed by the music and magic that explode on the screen . The film has a message that should resonate with today 's world concerning acceptance and courage . '' Hugh Armitage of Digital Spy said , `` The Greatest Showman is a broad and solid crowd - pleaser . An undemanding spectacle for all the family . '' Alan Jones of Radio Times called it `` A joyously uplifting potpourii of visual resplendence , stylish choreography and solid gold magic , one engineered to approximate the lavish spectacle the movie musical once offered . '' Sheila O'Malley of RogerEbert.com gave it 3.5 / 4 , stating `` The Greatest Showman is an unabashed piece of pure entertainment punctuated by memorable songs . '' Douglas Davidson of CLTure called the film , `` An undeniable spectacle with a infectious soundtrack , a movie that dazzles and delights . '' James Berardinelli of ReelViews gave the film a 3 / 4 score , and said , `` The film has show - stopping well - choreographed numbers with catchy tunes , '' and Calvin Wilson of St. Louis Post-Dispatch called the film `` highly enjoyable . '' Carl Kozlowski of Pasadena Weekly gave the film an ' A ' , calling it `` Groundbreaking & grandly innovative . '' Sean P. Means of The Salt Lake Tribune gave The Greatest Showman 3.5 / 4 stars , stating , `` A strong cast give emotional power to this romanticized , tune - filled biography . '' Manuela Lazic of Little White Lies gave it 4 / 5 , saying , `` The Greatest Showman deserves to become a Christmas classic . The film 's severe romanticism and ridiculous but affecting enthusiasm make it irresistibly life - affirming . '' Pete Hammond of Deadline Hollywood gave the film 4 out of 5 stars and called it , `` A fantasia of song and dance , a joyous exercise in pure entertainment that is made for the holiday crowd . '' Conversely , Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the film a negative review , criticizing the songs and characters and saying `` There 's idiotic , and there 's magnificent , but The Greatest Showman is that special thing that happens sometimes . It 's magnificently idiotic . It 's an awful mess , but it 's flashy . The temptation is to cover your face and watch it through your fingers , because it 's so earnest and embarrassing and misguided -- and yet it 's well - made . '' In a negative review for The Hollywood Reporter , David Rooney wrote `` This ersatz portrait of American big - top tent impresario P.T. Barnum is all smoke and mirrors , no substance . It hammers pedestrian themes of family , friendship and inclusivity while neglecting the fundaments of character and story . '' Writing for Rolling Stone , Peter Travers gave the film 1.5 out of 4 stars , saying , `` How do you cast a virtuoso Hugh Jackman as P.T. Barnum , spare no expense in production values , add a score by Oscar and Tony winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and still end up with the shrill blast of nothing that is The Greatest Showman ? Ask first - time director Michael Gracey , who cut his teeth on commercials and music videos without ever mastering the crucial knack of building snippets of musical comedy and drama into a satisfying whole . '' Justin Chang of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the film 's failures `` are rooted in something deeper : a dispiriting lack of faith in the audience 's intelligence , and a dawning awareness of its own aesthetic hypocrisy . You 've rarely seen a more straight - laced musical about the joys of letting your freak flag fly .

The first European explorer to sight New Zealand was Dutch navigator Abel Tasman on 13 December 1642 . The Dutch were also the first non-natives to explore and chart New Zealand 's coastline . Captain James Cook , who reached New Zealand in October 1769 on the first of his three voyages , was the first European explorer to circumnavigate and map New Zealand . From the late 18th century , the country was regularly visited by explorers and other sailors , missionaries , traders and adventurers . In 1840 the Treaty of Waitangi was signed between the British Crown and various Māori chiefs , bringing New Zealand into the British Empire and giving Māori the same rights as British subjects . There was extensive British settlement throughout the rest of the century and into the early part of the next century . War and the imposition of a European economic and legal system led to most of New Zealand 's land passing from Māori to Pākehā ( European ) ownership , and most Māori subsequently became impoverished . From the 1890s the New Zealand Parliament enacted a number of progressive initiatives , including women 's suffrage and old age pensions . The country remained an enthusiastic member of the British Empire , and 110,000 men fought in World War I ( see New Zealand Expeditionary Force ) . After the war New Zealand signed the Treaty of Versailles ( 1919 ) , joined the League of Nations , and pursued an independent foreign policy , while its defence was still controlled by Britain . When World War II broke out in 1939 , New Zealanders contributed to the defence of the British Empire ; the country contributed some 120,000 troops . From the 1930s the economy was highly regulated and an extensive welfare state was developed . Meanwhile , Māori culture underwent a renaissance , and from the 1950s Māori began moving to the cities in large numbers . This led to the development of a Māori protest movement which in turn led to greater recognition of the Treaty of Waitangi in the late 20th century . The country 's economy suffered in the aftermath of the 1973 global energy crisis , the loss of New Zealand 's biggest export market upon Britain 's entry to the European Economic Community , and rampant inflation . In 1984 , the Fourth Labour Government was elected amid a constitutional and economic crisis . The interventionist policies of the Third National Government were replaced by `` Rogernomics '' , a commitment to a free market economy . Foreign policy after 1980 became more independent especially in pushing for a nuclear - free zone . Subsequent governments have generally maintained these policies , although tempering the free market ethos somewhat .

Genetic and archaeological evidence suggests that humans emigrated from Taiwan to Melanesia and then travelled east through to the Society Islands ; after a pause of 70 to 265 years , a new wave of exploration led to the discovery and settlement of New Zealand . The most current reliable evidence strongly indicates that initial settlement of New Zealand occurred around 1280 CE . Previous dating of some Kiore ( Polynesian rat ) bones at 50 -- 150 CE has now been shown to have been unreliable ; new samples of bone ( and now also of unequivocally rat - gnawed woody seed cases ) match the 1280 CE date of the earliest archaeological sites and the beginning of sustained , anthropogenic deforestation . The descendants of these settlers became known as the Māori , forming a distinct culture of their own . The separate settlement of the tiny Chatham Islands in the east of New Zealand about 1500 CE produced the Moriori ; linguistic evidence indicates that the Moriori were mainland Māori who ventured eastward . The original settlers quickly exploited the abundant large game in New Zealand , such as moa , which were large flightless ratites pushed to extinction by about 1500 . As moa and other large game became scarce or extinct , Māori culture underwent major change , with regional differences . In areas where it was possible to grow taro and kūmara , horticulture became more important . This was not possible in the south of the South Island , but wild plants such as fernroot were often available and cabbage trees were harvested and cultivated for food . Warfare also increased in importance , reflecting increased competition for land and other resources . In this period , fortified pā became more common , although there is debate about the actual frequency of warfare . As elsewhere in the Pacific , cannibalism was part of warfare . Māori whānau from Rotorua in the 1880s . Many aspects of Western life and culture , including European clothing and architecture , became incorporated into Māori society during the 19th century . Leadership was based on a system of chieftainship , which was often but not always hereditary , although chiefs ( male or female ) needed to demonstrate leadership abilities to avoid being superseded by more dynamic individuals . The most important units of pre-European Māori society were the whānau or extended family , and the hapū or group of whānau . After these came the iwi or tribe , consisting of groups of hapū . Related hapū would often trade goods and co-operate on major projects , but conflict between hapū was also relatively common . Traditional Māori society preserved history orally through narratives , songs , and chants ; skilled experts could recite the tribal genealogies ( whakapapa ) back for hundreds of years . Arts included whaikōrero ( oratory ) , song composition in multiple genres , dance forms including haka , as well as weaving , highly developed wood carving , and tā moko ( tattoo ) . New Zealand has no native land mammals ( apart from some rare bats ) so birds , fish and sea mammals were important sources of protein . Māori cultivated food plants which they had brought with them from Polynesia , including sweet potatoes ( called kūmara ) , taro , gourds , and yams . They also cultivated the cabbage tree , a plant endemic to New Zealand , and exploited wild foods such as fern root , which provided a starchy paste . Early contact periods ( edit ) Early European exploration ( edit ) An early map of Australasia during the Golden Age of Dutch exploration and discovery ( c. 1590s -- 1720s ) . Based on a chart by Joan Blaeu , c. 1644 . Map of the New Zealand coastline as Cook charted it on his first visit in 1769 -- 70 . The track of the Endeavour is also shown . The first Europeans known to reach New Zealand were the crew of Dutch explorer Abel Tasman who arrived in his ships Heemskerck and Zeehaen . Tasman anchored at the northern end of the South Island in Golden Bay ( he named it Murderers ' Bay ) in December 1642 and sailed northward to Tonga following an attack by local Māori . Tasman sketched sections of the two main islands ' west coasts . Tasman called them Staten Landt , after the States General of the Netherlands , and that name appeared on his first maps of the country . In 1645 Dutch cartographers changed the name to Nova Zeelandia in Latin , from Nieuw Zeeland , after the Dutch province of Zeeland . It was subsequently anglicised as New Zealand by British naval captain James Cook of HM Bark Endeavour who visited the islands more than 100 years after Tasman during 1769 -- 1770 . Cook returned to New Zealand on both of his subsequent voyages . Various claims have been made that New Zealand was reached by other non-Polynesian voyagers before Tasman , but these are not widely accepted . Peter Trickett , for example , argues in Beyond Capricorn that the Portuguese explorer Cristóvão de Mendonça reached New Zealand in the 1520s , and the Tamil bell discovered by missionary William Colenso has given rise to a number of theories , but historians generally believe the bell ' is not in itself proof of early Tamil contact with New Zealand ' . From the 1790s , the waters around New Zealand were visited by British , French and American whaling , sealing and trading ships . Their crews traded European goods , including guns and metal tools , for Māori food , water , wood , flax and sex . Māori were reputed to be enthusiastic and canny traders , even though the levels of technology , institutions and property rights differed greatly from the standards in European societies . Although there were some conflicts , such as the killing of French explorer Marc - Joseph Marion du Fresne in 1772 and the destruction of the Boyd in 1809 , most contact between Māori and European was peaceful . European settlement ( edit ) Further information : Pākehā settlers The Mission House at Kerikeri is New Zealand 's oldest surviving building , having been completed in 1822 European ( Pākehā ) settlement increased through the early decades of the 19th century , with numerous trading stations established , especially in the North Island . Christianity was introduced to New Zealand in 1814 by Samuel Marsden , who travelled to the Bay of Islands where he founded a mission station on behalf of the Church of England 's Church Missionary Society . By 1840 over 20 stations had been established . From missionaries , the Māori learnt not just about Christianity but also about European farming practices and trades , and how to read and write . Beginning in 1820 , linguist Samuel Lee worked with Māori chief Hongi Hika to transcribe the Māori language into written form . The first full - blooded European infant in the territory , Thomas Holloway King , was born on 21 Feb 1815 at the Oihi Mission Station near Hohi Bay in the Bay of Islands . Kerikeri , founded in 1822 , and Bluff founded in 1823 , both claim to be the oldest European settlements in New Zealand . Many European settlers bought land from Māori , but misunderstanding and different concepts of land ownership led to conflict and bitterness . In 1839 , the New Zealand Company announced plans to buy large tracts of land and establish colonies in New Zealand . This alarmed the missionaries , who called for British control of European settlers in New Zealand . Māori response ( edit ) The effect of contact on Māori varied . In some inland areas life went on more or less unchanged , although a European metal tool such as a fish - hook or hand axe might be acquired through trade with other tribes . At the other end of the scale , tribes that frequently encountered Europeans , such as Ngāpuhi in Northland , underwent major changes . Pre-European Māori had no distance weapons except for tao ( spears ) and the introduction of the musket had an enormous impact on Māori warfare . Tribes with muskets would attack tribes without them , killing or enslaving many . As a result , guns became very valuable and Māori would trade huge quantities of goods for a single musket . From 1805 to 1843 the Musket Wars raged until a new balance of power was achieved after most tribes had acquired muskets . In 1835 , the peaceful Moriori of the Chatham Islands were attacked , enslaved , and nearly exterminated by mainland Ngāti Mutunga and Ngāti Tama Māori . In the 1901 census , only 35 Moriori were recorded although the numbers subsequently increased . Around this time , many Māori converted to Christianity . The reasons for this have been hotly debated , and may include social and cultural disruption caused by the Musket Wars and European contact . Other factors may have been the appeal of a religion that promotes peace and forgiveness , a desire to emulate the Europeans and to gain a similar abundance of material goods , and the Māori 's polytheistic culture that easily accepted the new God . British sovereignty ( edit ) In 1788 the Colony of New South Wales had been founded . According to the future Governor , Captain Arthur Phillip 's amended Commission , dated 25 April 1787 the colony of New South Wales included `` all the islands adjacent in the Pacific Ocean within the latitudes of 10 ° 37 'S and 43 ° 39 'S '' which included most of New Zealand except for the southern half of the South Island . In 1825 with Van Diemen 's Land becoming a separate colony , the southern boundary of New South Wales was altered to the islands adjacent in the Pacific Ocean with a southern boundary of 39 ° 12 'S which included only the northern half of the North Island . However , these boundaries had no real impact as the New South Wales administration had little interest in New Zealand . New Zealand was first mentioned in British statute in the Murders Abroad Act 1817 . It made it easier for a court to punish `` murders or manslaughters committed in places not within His Majesty 's dominions '' , and the Governor of New South Wales was given increased legal authority over New Zealand . The jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of New South Wales over New Zealand was initiated in the New South Wales Act 1823 , and lesser offences were included at that time . In response to complaints from missionaries , about lawless sailors and adventurers in New Zealand , the British government appointed James Busby as Official Resident in 1832 . In 1834 he encouraged Māori chiefs to assert their sovereignty with the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1835 . This was acknowledged by King William IV . Busby was provided with neither legal authority nor military support and was thus ineffective in controlling the European population . Treaty of Waitangi ( edit ) Main article : Treaty of Waitangi One of the few extant copies of the Treaty of Waitangi In 1839 , the New Zealand Company announced its plans to establish colonies in New Zealand . This and the increased commercial interests of merchants in Sydney and London spurred the British to take stronger action . Captain William Hobson was sent to New Zealand to persuade Māori to cede their sovereignty to the British Crown . In reaction to the New Zealand Company 's moves , on 15 June 1839 a new Letters patent was issued to expand the territory of New South Wales to include all of New Zealand . Governor of New South Wales George Gipps was appointed Governor over New Zealand . This was the first clear expression of British intent to annexe New Zealand . On 6 February 1840 , Hobson and about forty Māori chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi at Waitangi in the Bay of Islands . Copies of the Treaty were subsequently taken around the country to be signed by other chiefs . A significant number refused to sign or were not asked but , in total , more than five hundred Māori eventually signed . The Treaty gave Māori sovereignty over their lands and possessions and all of the rights of British citizens . What it gave the British in return depends on the language - version of the Treaty that is referred to . The English version can be said to give the British Crown sovereignty over New Zealand but in the Māori version the Crown receives kawanatanga , which , arguably , is a lesser power ( see interpretations of the Treaty ) . Dispute over the true meaning and the intent of either party remains an issue . Britain was motivated by the desire to forestall other European powers ( France established a very small settlement at Akaroa in the South Island later in 1840 ) , to facilitate settlement by British subjects and , possibly , to end the lawlessness of European ( predominantly British and American ) whalers , sealers and traders . Officials and missionaries had their own positions and reputations to protect . Māori chiefs were motivated by a desire for protection from foreign powers , the establishment of governorship over European settlers and traders in New Zealand , and to allow for wider settlement that would increase trade and prosperity for Māori . Hobson died in September 1842 . Robert FitzRoy , the new governor , took some legal steps to recognise Māori custom . However , his successor , George Grey , promoted rapid cultural assimilation and reduction of the land ownership , influence and rights of the Māori . The practical effect of the Treaty was , in the beginning , only gradually felt , especially in predominantly Māori regions . The colonisation project ( edit ) At first New Zealand was administered from Australia as part of the colony of New South Wales . On 1 July 1841 New Zealand became a colony in its own right . A bust of Edward Wakefield from the 1897 book New Zealand rulers and statesmen from 1840 to 1897 British writer Edward Gibbon Wakefield ( 1796 -- 1862 ) exerted a far - reaching influence . His plans for systematic British colonisation focused on a free labour system , in contrast to the slavery in the United States and the convict labour in Australia . Inspired by evangelical Christianity and abolitionism , Wakefield 's essays ( 1829 to 1849 ) , condemned both slavery and indentured and convict labour as immoral , unjust , and inefficient . Instead , he proposed a government sponsored system in which the price of farm land was set at a high enough level to prevent urban workers from easily purchasing it and thus leaving the labour market . His colonisation programmes were over-elaborate and operated on a much smaller scale than he hoped for , but his ideas influenced law and culture , especially his vision for the colony as the embodiment of post-Enlightenment ideals , the notion of New Zealand as a model society , and the sense of fairness in employer - employee relations . Scottish Highland family migrating to New Zealand , 1844 Settlement continued under British plans , inspired by a vision of New Zealand as a new land of opportunity ; the Pākehā population grew explosively from fewer than 1000 in 1831 to 500,000 by 1881 . Some 400,000 settlers came from Britain , of whom 300,000 stayed permanently . Most were young people and 250,000 babies were born . The passage of 120,000 was paid by the colonial government . After 1880 immigration reduced , and growth was due chiefly to the excess of births over deaths . In 1846 , the British Parliament drafted eleborate plans for a form of self - government for the 13,000 settlers in New Zealand . The new Governor , George Grey , suspended the plans . He argued that the Pākehā could not be trusted to pass laws that would protect the interests of the Māori majority -- already there had been Treaty violations -- and persuaded his political superiors to postpone its introduction for five years .

( August 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Colonial self - government , 1850s ( edit ) The first Government House in Auckland , as painted by Edward Ashworth in 1842 or 1843 . Auckland was the second capital of New Zealand . When the British settlers petititoned for self - government , the British Parliament passed the New Zealand Constitution Act 1852 , setting up a central government with an elected General Assembly ( Parliament ) and six provincial governments . The General Assembly did not meet until 24 May 1854 , 16 months after the Constitution Act had come into force . Provinces were reorganised in 1846 and in 1853 , when they acquired their own legislatures , and then abolished with effect in 1877 . The settlers soon won the right to responsible government ( with an executive supported by a majority in the elected assembly ) . But the governor , and through him the Colonial Office in London , retained control of native policy until the mid-1860s . Farming and mining ( edit ) Main article : Otago Gold Rush The Māori tribes at first sold the land to the settlers , but the government voided the sales in 1840 . Now only the government was allowed to purchase land from Māori , who received cash . The government bought practically all the useful land , then resold it to the New Zealand Company , which promoted immigration , or leased it for sheep runs . The Company resold the best tracts to British settlers ; its profits were used to pay the travel of the immigrants from Britain . Because of the vast distances involved , the first settlers were self - sufficient farmers . By the 1840s , however , large scale sheep stations were exporting large quantities of wool to the textile mills of England . Most of the early settlers were brought over by a programme operated by the New Zealand Company and were located in the central region on either side of Cook Strait , and at Wellington , Wanganui , New Plymouth and Nelson . These settlements had access to some of the richest plains in the country and after refrigerated ships appeared in 1882 , they developed into closely settled regions of small - scale farming . Outside these compact settlements were the sheep runs . Pioneer pastoralists , often men with experience as squatters in Australia , leased lands from the government at the annual rate of £ 5 plus £ 1 for each 1,000 sheep above the first 5,000 . The leases were renewed automatically , which gave the wealthy pastoralists a strong landed interest and made them a powerful political force . In all between 1856 and 1876 , 8.1 million acres were sold for £ 7.6 million , and 2.2 million acres were given free to soldiers , sailors and settlers . With an economy based on agriculture , the landscape was transformed from forest to farmland . Gold discoveries in Otago ( 1861 ) and Westland ( 1865 ) , caused a worldwide gold rush that more than doubled the population in a short period , from 71,000 in 1859 to 164,000 in 1863 . The value of trade increased fivefold from £ 2 million to £ 10 million . As the gold boom ended Premier Julius Vogel borrowed money from British investors and launched in 1870 an ambitious programme of public works and infrastructure investment , together with a policy of assisted immigration . Successive governments expanded the program with offices across Britain that enticed settlers and gave them and their families one - way tickets . In the 1870s , the economy lapsed into a long depression as a result of Vogel 's borrowing and the associated debt burden ( especially on land ) . Despite a brief boom in wheat , prices for farm products sagged . The market for land seized up . Hard times led to urban unemployment and sweated labour ( exploitative labour conditions ) in industry . The country lost people through emigration , mostly to Australia . Women ( edit ) See also : Women 's suffrage in New Zealand Tribute to the Suffragettes memorial in Christchurch adjacent to Our City . The figures shown from left to right are Amey Daldy , Kate Sheppard , Ada Wells and Harriet Morison Although norms of masculinity were dominant , strong minded women originated a feminist movement starting in the 1860s , well before women gained the right to vote in 1893 . Middle class women employed the media ( especially newspapers ) to communicate with each other and define their priorities . Prominent feminist writers included Mary Taylor , Mary Colclough ( pseud . Polly Plum ) , and Ellen Ellis . The first signs of a politicised collective female identity came in crusades to pass the Contagious Diseases Prevention Act . Feminists by the 1880s were using the rhetoric of `` white slavery '' to reveal men 's sexual and social oppression of women . By demanding that men take responsibility for the right of women to walk the streets in safety , New Zealand feminists deployed the rhetoric of white slavery to argue for women 's sexual and social freedom . Middle class women successfully mobilised to stop prostitution , especially during the First World War . Māori women developed their own form of feminism , derived from Māori nationalism rather than European sources . In 1893 Elizabeth Yates was elected mayor of Onehunga , making her the first woman in the British Empire to hold the office . She was an able administrator : she cut the debt , reorganised the fire brigade , and improved the roads and sanitation . Many men were hostile however , and she was defeated for re-election . Hutching argues that after 1890 women were increasingly well organised through the National Council of Women , the Women 's Christian Temperance Union ( WCTU ) , the Women 's International League , and the Housewives Union , and others . By 1910 they were campaigning for peace , and against compulsory military training , and conscription . They demanded arbitration and the peaceful resolution of international disputes . The women argued that womenhood ( thanks to motherhood ) was the repository of superior moral values and concerns and from their domestic experience they knew best how to resolve conflicts . Schools ( edit ) Main article : History of education in New Zealand Prior to 1877 schools were operated by the provincial government , churches , or by private subscription . Education was not a requirement and many children did not attend any school , especially farm children whose labour was important to the family economy . The quality of education provided varied substantially depending on the school . The Education Act of 1877 created New Zealand 's first free national system of primary education , establishing standards that educators should meet , and making education compulsory for children aged 5 to 15 . Immigration ( edit ) Main article : Immigration to New Zealand `` First Scottish Colony for New Zealand '' -- 1839 poster advertising emigration from Scotland to New Zealand . Collection of Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum , Glasgow , Scotland . From 1840 there was considerable European settlement , primarily from England and Wales , Scotland and Ireland ; and to a lesser extent the United States , India , China , and various parts of continental Europe , including the province of Dalmatia in what is now Croatia , and Bohemia in what is now the Czech Republic . Already a majority of the population by 1859 , the number of Pākehā settlers increased rapidly to reach over one million by 1916 . In the 1870s and 1880s , several thousand Chinese men , mostly from Guangdong , migrated to New Zealand to work on the South Island goldfields . Although the first Chinese migrants had been invited by the Otago Provincial government they quickly became the target of hostility from white settlers and laws were enacted specifically to discourage them from coming to New Zealand . Māori adaptation and resistance ( edit ) HMS North Star destroying Pomare 's Pā during the Northern / Flagstaff War , 1845 , Painting by John Williams . Māori had welcomed Pākehā for the trading opportunities and guns they brought . However it soon became clear that they had underestimated the number of settlers that would arrive in their lands . Iwi ( tribes ) whose land was the base of the main settlements quickly lost much of their land and autonomy through government acts . Others prospered -- until about 1860 the city of Auckland bought most of its food from Māori who grew and sold it themselves . Many iwi owned flour mills , ships and other items of European technology , some exported food to Australia for a brief period during the 1850s gold rush . Although race relations were generally peaceful in this period , there were conflicts over who had ultimate power in particular areas -- the Governor or the Māori chiefs . One such conflict was the Northern or Flagstaff War of the 1840s , during which Kororareka was sacked . As the Pākehā population grew , pressure grew on Māori to sell more land . Land is not only an economic resource , but also one basis of Māori identity and a connection with their ancestor 's bones . Land was used communally , but under the mana of chiefs . In Māori culture there was no such idea as selling land until the arrival of Europeans . The means of acquiring land was to defeat another hapu or iwi in battle and seize their land . Te Rauparaha seized the land of many lower North Island and upper South Island iwi during the musket wars . Land was usually not given up without discussion and consultation . When an iwi was divided over the question of selling this could lead to great difficulties as at Waitara . Pākehā had little understanding of all that and accused Māori of holding onto land they did not use efficiently . Competition for land was one important cause of the New Zealand Wars of the 1860s and 1870s , in which the Taranaki and Waikato regions were invaded by colonial troops and Māori of these regions had some of their land taken from them . The wars and confiscation left bitterness that remains to this day . After the conclusion of the Land Wars some iwi , especially in the Waikato , such as Ngati Haua sold land freely . However , only the chiefs and their whanau benefited from this income . The 2013 Ngati Haua treaty settlement recognised that many Ngati Haua had not received any benefit from the large payments in the 1870s hence the government was paying compensation . Some iwi sided with the government and , later , fought with the government . They were motivated partly by the thought that an alliance with the government would benefit them , and partly by old feuds with the iwi they fought against . One result of their co-operation strategy was the establishment of the four Māori electorates in the House of Representatives , in 1867 . After the wars , some Māori began a strategy of passive resistance , most famously at Parihaka in Taranaki . Most , such as NgaPuhi and Arawa continued co-operating with Pākehā . For example , tourism ventures were established by Te Arawa around Rotorua . Resisting and co-operating iwi both found that Pākehā desire for land remained . In the last decades of the century , most iwi lost substantial amounts of land through the activities of the Native Land Court . This was set up to give Māori land European - style titles and to establish exactly who owned it . Due to its Eurocentric rules , the high fees , its location remote from the lands in question , and unfair practices by some Pākehā land agents , its main effect was to allow Māori to sell their land without restraint from other tribal members . The combination of war , confiscations , disease , assimilation and intermarriage , land loss leading to poor housing and alcohol abuse , and general disillusionment , caused a fall in the Māori population from around 86,000 in 1769 to around 70,000 in 1840 and around 48,000 by 1874 , hitting a low point of 42,000 in 1896 . Subsequently , their numbers began to recover . South Island predominance ( edit ) See also : South Island nationalism The settlement of English in the North Island and northern South Island and Scottish in the Deep South is reflected in the dominance of Anglicanism and Presbyterianism in the respective regions . While the North Island was convulsed by the Land Wars , the South Island , with its lower Māori population , was generally peaceful . In 1861 gold was discovered at Gabriel 's Gully in Central Otago , sparking a gold rush . Dunedin became the wealthiest city in the country and many in the South Island resented financing the North Island 's wars . In 1865 Parliament defeated a proposal to make the South Island independent by 17 to 31 . The South Island contained most of the Pākehā population until around 1911 when the North Island again took the lead and has supported an ever - greater majority of the country 's total population through the 20th century and into the 21st . Scottish immigrants dominated the South Island and evolved ways to bridge the old homeland and the new . Many local Caledonian societies were formed . They organised sports teams to entice the young and preserved an idealised Scottish national myth ( based on Robert Burns ) for the elderly . They gave Scots a path to assimilation and cultural integration as Scottish New Zealanders . Liberal to Labour ( edit ) Liberal asendancy , 1890s ( edit ) Richard Seddon , Liberal Prime Minister from 1893 to his death in 1906 The pre-war era saw the advent of party politics , with the establishment of the Liberal Government . The landed gentry and aristocracy ruled Britain at this time . New Zealand never had an aristocracy but it did have wealthy landowners who largely controlled politics before 1891 . The Liberal Party set out to change that by a policy it called `` populism . '' Richard Seddon had proclaimed the goal as early as 1884 : `` It is the rich and the poor ; it is the wealthy and the landowners against the middle and labouring classes . That , Sir , shows the real political position of New Zealand . '' The Liberal strategy was to create a large class of small land - owning farmers who supported Liberal ideals . To obtain land for farmers the Liberal government from 1891 to 1911 purchased 3.1 million acres of Māori land . The government also purchased 1.3 million acres from large estate holders for subdivision and closer settlement by small farmers . The Advances to Settlers Act of 1894 provided low - interest mortgages , while the Agriculture Department disseminated information on the best farming methods . The 1909 Native Land Act allowed the Māori to sell land to private buyers . Māori still owned five million acres by 1920 ; they leased three million acres and used one million acres for themselves . The Liberals proclaimed success in forging an egalitarian , antimonopoly land policy . The policy built up support for the Liberal party in rural North Island electorates . By 1903 the Liberals were so dominant that there was no longer an organised opposition in Parliament . The state steps in ( edit ) The Liberal government laid the foundations of the later comprehensive welfare state : introducing old age pensions ; maximum hour regulations ; pioneering minimum wage laws ; and developing a system for settling industrial disputes , which was accepted by both employers and trade unions . In 1893 it extended voting rights to women , making New Zealand the first country in the world to enact universal female suffrage . New Zealand gained international attention for its reforms , especially how the state regulated labour relations . The impact was especially strong on the reform movement in the United States . Coleman argues that the Liberals in 1891 lacked a clear - cut ideology to guide them . Instead they approached the nation 's problems pragmatically , keeping in mind the constraints imposed by democratic public opinion . To deal with the issue of land distribution , they worked out innovative solutions to access , tenure , and a graduated tax on unimproved values . Economic developments ( edit ) During the 1880s , New Zealand 's economy grew from one based on wool and local trade to the export of wool , cheese , butter and frozen beef and mutton to Britain . The change was enabled by the invention of refrigerated steamships in 1882 and a result of the large market demands overseas . In order to increase production , alongside a more intensive use of factor inputs a transformation of production techniques was necessary . The required capital came mainly from outside of New Zealand . Refrigerated shipping remained the basis of New Zealand 's economy until the 1970s . New Zealand 's highly productive agriculture gave it probably the world 's highest standard of living , with fewer at the rich and poor ends of the scale . During this era ( c. 1880 -- c. 1914 ) the banking system was weak and there was little foreign investment , so businessmen had to build up their own capital . Historians have debated whether the `` long depression '' of the late 19th century stifled investment , but the New Zealanders found a way around adverse conditions . Hunter has studied the experiences of 133 entrepreneurs who started commercial enterprises between 1880 and 1910 . The successful strategy was to deploy capital economising techniques , and reinvesting profits rather than borrowing . The result was slow but stable growth that avoided bubbles and led to long - lived family owned firms . Dominion status ( edit ) Main articles : Dominion of New Zealand and Independence of New Zealand Zealandia rejecting Australian Constitution in 1900 New Zealand initially expressed interest in joining the proposed Federation of the Australian colonies , attending the 1891 National Australia Convention in Sydney . Interest in the proposed Australian Federation faded and New Zealand decided against joining the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901 . New Zealand instead changed from being a colony to a separate `` Dominion '' in 1907 , equal in status to Australia and Canada . Dominion status was a public mark of the self - governance that had evolved over half a century through responsible government . Just under one million people lived in New Zealand in 1907 and cities such as Auckland and Wellington were growing rapidly . Temperance and prohibition ( edit ) Further information : Temperance movement in New Zealand In New Zealand , prohibition was a moralistic reform movement begun in the mid-1880s by the Protestant evangelical and Nonconformist churches and the Woman 's Christian Temperance Union and after 1890 by the Prohibition League . It never achieved its goal of national prohibition . It was a middle - class movement which accepted the existing economic and social order ; the effort to legislate morality assumed that individual redemption was all that was needed to carry the colony forward from a pioneering society to a more mature one . However , both the Church of England and the largely Irish Catholic Church rejected prohibition as an intrusion of government into the church 's domain , while the growing labour movement saw capitalism rather than alcohol as the enemy . Reformers hoped that the women 's vote , in which New Zealand was a pioneer , would swing the balance , but the women were not as well organised as in other countries . Prohibition had a majority in a national referendum in 1911 , but needed a 60 % majority to pass . The movement kept trying in the 1920s , losing three more referenda by close votes ; it managed to keep in place a 6 pm closing hour for pubs and Sunday closing ( leading to the so - called six o'clock swill ) . The Depression and war years effectively ended the movement . First World War ( edit ) Main article : Military history of New Zealand during World War I New Zealand Division in 1916 The country remained an enthusiastic member of the British Empire , and 110,000 men fought in World War I ( see New Zealand Expeditionary Force ) . 16,688 died . Conscription had been in force since 1909 , and while it was opposed in peacetime there was less opposition during the war . The labour movement was pacifistic , opposed the war , and alleged that the rich were benefitting at the expense of the workers . It formed the New Zealand Labour Party in 1916 . Māori tribes that had been close to the government sent their young men to volunteer . Unlike in Britain , relatively few women became involved . Women did serve as nurses ; 640 joined the services and 500 went overseas . New Zealand forces captured Western Samoa from Germany in the early stages of the war , and New Zealand administered the country until Samoan Independence in 1962 . However Samoans greatly resented the imperialism , and blamed inflation and the catastrophic 1918 flu epidemic on New Zealand rule . The heroism of the soldiers in the failed Gallipoli Campaign made their sacrifices iconic in New Zealand memory , and is often credited with securing the psychological independence of the nation . Imperial loyalties ( edit ) George V with his prime ministers at the 1926 Imperial Conference . Standing ( left to right ) : Monroe ( Newfoundland ) , Coates ( New Zealand ) , Bruce ( Australia ) , Hertzog ( Union of South Africa ) , Cosgrave ( Irish Free State ) . Seated : Baldwin ( UK ) , King George V , King ( Canada ) . After the war New Zealand signed the Treaty of Versailles ( 1919 ) , joined the League of Nations and pursued an independent foreign policy , while its defence was still controlled by Britain . New Zealand depended on Britain 's Royal Navy for its military security during the 1920s and 1930s . Officials in Wellington trusted Conservative Party governments in London , but not Labour . When the British Labour Party took power in 1924 and 1929 , the New Zealand government felt threatened by Labour 's foreign policy because of its reliance upon the League of Nations . The League was distrusted and Wellington did not expect to see the coming of a peaceful world order under League auspices . What had been the Empire 's most loyal dominion became a dissenter as it opposed efforts the first and second British Labour governments to trust the League 's framework of arbitration and collective security agreements . The governments of the Reform and United parties between 1912 and 1935 followed a `` realistic '' foreign policy . They made national security a high priority , were sceptical of international institutions , and showed no interest on the questions of self - determination , democracy , and human rights . However the opposition Labour Party was more idealistic and proposed a liberal internationalist outlook on international affairs . The Labour Party emerged as a force in 1919 with a socialist platform . It won about 25 % of the vote . However its appeals to working class solidarity were not effective because a large fraction of the working class voted for conservative candidates of the Liberal and Reform parties . ( They merged in 1936 to form the New Zealand National Party . ) As a consequence the Labour party was able to jettison its support for socialism in 1927 ( a policy made official in 1951 ) , as it expanded its reach into middle class constituencies . The result was a jump in strength to 35 % in 1931 , 47 % in 1935 , and peaking at 56 % in 1938 . From 1935 the First Labour Government showed a limited degree of idealism in foreign policy , for example opposing the appeasement of Germany and Japan . Great depression ( edit ) Like most other countries , New Zealand was hard hit by the Great Depression of the 1930s , which affected the country via its international trade , with farming export drops then going on to affect the money supply and in turn consumption , investment and imports . The country was most affected around 1930 -- 1932 , when average farm incomes for a short time dipped below zero , and the unemployment rates peaked . Though actual unemployment numbers were not officially counted , the country was affected especially strongly in the North Island . Unlike later years , there were no public benefit ( ' dole ' ) payments -- the unemployed were given ' relief work ' , much of which was however not very productive , partly because the size of the problem was unprecedented . Women also increasingly registered as unemployed , while Māori received government help through other channels such as the land development schemes organised by Āpirana Ngata . In 1933 , 8.5 % of the unemployed were organised in work camps , while the rest received work close to their homes . Typical occupations in relief work were road work ( undertaken by 45 % of all part - time and 19 % of all full - time relief workers in 1934 , with park improvement works ( 17 % ) and farm work ( 31 % ) being the other two most common types of work for part - time and full - time relief workers respectively ) . Building the welfare state ( edit ) Further information : Welfare in New Zealand The 1935 Labour Cabinet . Michael Joseph Savage is seated in the front row , centre . Attempts by the United - Reform Coalition to deal with the situation with spending cuts and relief work were ineffective and unpopular . In 1935 , the First Labour Government was elected , and the post-depression decade showed that average Labour support in New Zealand had roughly doubled comparable to pre-depression times . By 1935 economic conditions had improved somewhat , and the new government had more positive financial conditions . Prime Minister Michael Joseph Savage proclaimed that : `` Social Justice must be the guiding principle and economic organization must adapt itself to social needs . '' The new government quickly set about implementing a number of significant reforms , including a reorganisation of the social welfare system and the creation of the state housing scheme . Labour also gained Māori votes by working closely with the Rātana movement . Savage was idolised by the working classes , and his portrait hung on the walls of many houses around the country . The newly created welfare state promised government support to individuals `` from the cradle to the grave '' , according to the Labour slogan . It included free health care and education , and state assistance for the elderly , infirm , and unemployed . The opposition attacked the Labour Party 's more left - wing policies , and accused it of undermining free enterprise and hard work . The Reform Party and the United Party merged to become the National Party , and would be Labour 's main rival in future years . However the welfare state system was retained and expanded by successive National and Labour governments until the 1980s . Second World War ( edit ) Main article : Military history of New Zealand during World War II Men of the Māori Battalion , New Zealand Expeditionary Force , after disembarking at Gourock in Scotland in June 1940 When World War II broke out in 1939 , New Zealanders saw their proper role as defending their proud place in the British Empire . It contributed some 120,000 troops . They mostly fought in North Africa , Greece / Crete , and Italy , relying on the Royal Navy and later the United States to protect New Zealand from the Japanese forces . Japan had no interest in New Zealand in the first place ; it had already over-reached when it invaded New Guinea in 1942 . ( There were a few highly publicised but ineffective Japanese scouting incursions . ) The 3rd New Zealand Division fought in the Solomons in 1943 -- 44 , but New Zealand 's limited manpower meant 2 Divisions could not be maintained , and it was disbanded and its men returned to civilian life or used to reinforce the 2nd Division in Italy . The armed forces peaked at 157,000 in September 1942 ; 135,000 served abroad , and 10,100 died . A 1943 poster produced during the war . The poster reads : `` When war broke out ... industries were unprepared for munitions production . To - day New Zealand is not only manufacturing many kinds of munitions for her own defence but is making a valuable contribution to the defence of the other areas in the Pacific ... '' New Zealand , with a population of 1.7 million , including 99,000 Māori , was highly mobilised during the war . The Labour party was in power and promoted unionisation and the welfare state . Agriculture expanded , sending record supplies of meat , butter and wool to Britain . When American forces arrived , they were fed as well . The nation spent £ 574 million on the war , of which 43 % came from taxes , 41 % from loans and 16 % from American Lend Lease . It was an era of prosperity as the national income soared from £ 158 million in 1937 to £ 292 million in 1944 . Rationing and price controls kept inflation to only 14 % during 1939 -- 45 . Over £ 50 million was spent on defence works and military accommodation and hospitals , including 292 mi ( 470 km ) of roads . Montgomerie shows that the war dramatically increased the roles of women , especially married women , in the labour force . Most of them took traditional female jobs . Some replaced men but the changes here were temporary and reversed in 1945 . After the war , women left traditional male occupations and many women gave up paid employment to return home . There was no radical change in gender roles but the war intensified occupational trends under way since the 1920s . The later 20th century ( edit ) National in power ( edit ) Labour remained in power after the Second World War and in 1945 , Labour Prime Minister Peter Fraser played an important role in the establishment of the United Nations , of which New Zealand was a founding member . However , domestically Labour had lost the reforming zeal of the 1930s and its electoral support ebbed after the war . After Labour lost power in 1949 , the conservative National Party began an almost continuous thirty - year stint in government , interrupted by single - term Labour governments in 1957 to 60 and 1972 to 75 . National Prime Minister Sidney Holland called a snap election as a result of the 1951 waterfront dispute , an incident that reinforced National 's dominance and severely weakened the union movement . Cooperation with the United States set a direction of policy which resulted in the ANZUS Treaty between New Zealand , America and Australia in 1951 , as well as participation in the Korean War . The British connection ( edit ) Fedorowich and Bridge argue that the demands of the Second World War produced long - term consequences for New Zealand 's relationship with the government in London . The key component was the office of the high commissioner . By 1950 it was the main line of communications between the British and New Zealand governments . 1950s New Zealand culture was deeply British and conservative , with the concept of `` fairness '' holding a central role . New immigrants , still mainly British , flooded in while New Zealand remained prosperous by exporting farm products to Britain . In 1953 New Zealanders took pride that a countryman , Edmund Hillary , gave Queen Elizabeth II a coronation gift by reaching the summit of Mount Everest . From the 1890s , the economy had been based almost entirely on the export of frozen meat and dairy products to Britain , and in 1961 , the share of New Zealand exports going to the United Kingdom was still at slightly over 51 % , with approximately 15 % more going to other European countries . The 1960s was a decade of rising prosperity for most New Zealanders , but from 1965 there were also protests -- in support of women 's rights and the nascent ecological movement , and against the Vietnam War . Irrespective of political developments , many New Zealanders still perceived themselves as a distinctive outlying branch of the United Kingdom until at least the 1970s . In 1973 Britain joined the European Community and abrogated its preferential trade agreements with New Zealand ( see below ) , forcing New Zealand to not only find new markets , but also re-examine its national identity and place in the world . Māori urbanisation ( edit ) Māori always had a high birth rate ; that was neutralised by a high death rate until modern public health measures became effective in the 20th century when tuberculosis deaths and infant mortality declined sharply . Life expectancy grew from 49 years in 1926 to 60 years in 1961 and the total numbers grew rapidly . Many Māori served in the Second World War and learned how to cope in the modern urban world ; others moved from their rural homes to the cities to take up jobs vacated by Pākehā servicemen . The shift to the cities was also caused by their strong birth rates in the early 20th century , with the existing rural farms in Māori ownership having increasing difficulty in providing enough jobs . Māori culture had meanwhile undergone a renaissance thanks in part to politician Āpirana Ngata . By the 1980s 80 % of the Māori population was urban , in contrast to only 20 % before the Second World War . The migration led to better pay , higher standards of living and longer schooling , but also exposed problems of racism and discrimination . By the late 1960s a protest movement had emerged to combat racism , promote Māori culture and seek fulfilment of the Treaty of Waitangi . Urbanisation proceeded rapidly across the land . In the late 1940s , town planners noted that the country was `` possibly the third most urbanised country in the world '' , with two - thirds of the population living in cities or towns . There was also increasing concern that this trend was badly managed , with it being noted that there was an `` ill - defined urban pattern that appears to have few of the truly desirable urban qualities and yet manifests no compensating rural characteristics . '' The Muldoon years , 1975 -- 1984 ( edit ) Elizabeth II and Muldoon 's Cabinet , taken during the Queen 's 1981 tour of New Zealand The country 's economy suffered in the aftermath of the 1973 global energy crisis , the loss of New Zealand 's biggest export market upon Britain 's entry to the European Economic Community , and rampant inflation . Robert Muldoon , Prime Minister from 1975 to 1984 , and his Third National Government responded to the crises of the 1970s by attempting to preserve the New Zealand of the 1950s . He attempted to maintain New Zealand 's `` cradle to the grave '' welfare state , which dated to 1935 . His government sought to give retirees 80 % of the current wage , which would require large - scale borrowing ; critics said it would bankrupt the treasury . Muldoon 's response to the crisis also involved imposing a total freeze on wages , prices , interest rates and dividends across the national economy . Muldoon 's conservatism and antagonistic style exacerbated an atmosphere of conflict in New Zealand , most violently expressed during the 1981 Springbok Tour . In the 1984 elections Labour promised to calm down the increasing tensions , while making no specific promises ; it scored a landslide victory . However , Muldoon 's government was not entirely backward looking . Some innovations did take place , for example the Closer Economic Relations ( CER ) free - trade programme with Australia to liberalise trade , starting in 1982 . The aim of total free trade between the two countries was achieved in 1990 , five years ahead of schedule . The radical 1980s reforms ( edit ) In 1984 , the Fourth Labour Government , led by David Lange , was elected amid a constitutional and economic crisis . The crisis led the incoming government to review New Zealand 's constitutional structures , which resulted in the Constitution Act 1986 . In power from 1984 to 1990 , the Labour government launched a major policy of restructuring the economy , radically reducing the role of government . A political scientist reports : `` Between 1984 and 1993 , New Zealand underwent radical economic reform , moving from what had probably been the most protected , regulated and state - dominated system of any capitalist democracy to an extreme position at the open , competitive , free - market end of the spectrum . '' The economic reforms were led by finance minister Roger Douglas ( 1984 -- 1988 ) . Dubbed Rogernomics , it was a rapid programme of deregulation and public - asset sales . Subsidies were phased out to farmers and consumers . High finance was partly deregulated . Restrictions on foreign exchange were relaxed and the dollar was allowed to float and seek its natural level on the world market . The tax on high incomes was cut in half from 65 % to 33 % . The shares exchange entered a bubble , which then burst . Shares had a total value of $50 billion in 1987 and only $15 billion in 1991 ; at one point the crash was `` the worst in world . '' Overall the economic growth fell from 2 % a year to 1 % . Douglas 's reforms resembled the contemporaneous policies of Margaret Thatcher in Britain and Ronald Reagan in the United States . Strong criticism of Rogernomics came from the left , especially from Labour 's traditional trade union support - base ; Lange broke with Douglas 's policies in 1987 ; both men were forced out and Labour was in confusion . In keeping with the mood of the 1980s the government sponsored liberal policies and initiatives in a number of social areas ; this included Homosexual Law Reform , the introduction of ' no - fault divorce ' , reduction in the gender pay gap and the drafting of a Bill of Rights . Immigration policy was liberalised , allowing an influx of immigrants from Asia ; previously most immigrants to New Zealand had been European and especially British . The Fourth Labour Government also revolutionised New Zealand 's foreign policy , making the country a nuclear - free zone and effectively leaving the ANZUS alliance . The French intelligence service 's sinking of the Rainbow Warror , and the diplomatic ramifications following the incident , did much to promote the anti-nuclear stance as an important symbol of New Zealand 's national identity . Continuing Reform under National ( edit ) Voters unhappy with the rapid speed and far - reaching extent of reforms elected a National government in 1990 , led by Jim Bolger . However the new government continued the economic reforms of the previous Labour government , in what was known as Ruthanasia . Unhappy with what seemed to be a pattern of governments failing to reflect the mood of the electorate , New Zealanders in 1992 and 1993 voted to change the electoral system to mixed - member proportional ( MMP ) , a form of proportional representation . New Zealand 's first MMP election was held in 1996 . Following the election National was returned to power in coalition with the New Zealand First Party . With the end of the Cold War in 1991 , the nation 's foreign policy turned increasingly to issues of its nuclear - free status and other military issues ; its adjustment to neoliberalism in international trade relations ; and its involvement in humanitarian , environmental , and other matters of international diplomacy . 21st century ( edit ) Prime Ministers John Key and Helen Clark The Fifth Labour Government led by Helen Clark was elected in 1999 . In power for nine years , it maintained most of the previous governments ' economic reforms -- restricting government intervention in the economy much more so than previous governments -- while putting more of an emphasis on social policy and outcomes . For example , employment law was modified to give more protection to workers , and the student loan system was changed to eliminate interest payments for New Zealand resident students and graduates . New Zealand retains strong but informal links to Britain , with many young New Zealanders travelling to Britain for their `` OE '' ( overseas experience ) due to favourable working visa arrangements with Britain . Despite New Zealand 's immigration liberalisation in the 1980s , Britons are still the largest group of migrants to New Zealand , due in part to recent immigration law changes which privilege fluent speakers of English . One constitutional link to Britain remains -- New Zealand 's head of State , the Queen in Right of New Zealand , is a British resident . However , British imperial honours were discontinued in 1996 , the Governor - General has taken a more active role in representing New Zealand overseas , and appeals from the Court of Appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council were replaced by a local Supreme Court of New Zealand in 2003 . There is public debate about whether New Zealand should became a republic , and public sentiment is divided on the issue . Foreign policy has been essentially independent since the mid-1980s . Under Prime Minister Clark , foreign policy reflected the priorities of liberal internationalism . She stressed the promotion of democracy and human rights ; the strengthening of the role of the United Nations ; the advancement of anti-militarism and disarmament ; and the encouragement of free trade . She sent troops to the War in Afghanistan , but did not contribute combat troops to the Iraq War although some medical and engineering units were sent . John Key led the National Party to victory in the November 2008 . Key became Prime Minister of the Fifth National Government which entered government at the beginning of the late - 2000s recession . In February 2011 , a major earthquake in Christchurch , the nation 's second largest city , significantly impacted the national economy and the government formed the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority in response . In foreign policy , Key announced the withdrawal of New Zealand Defence Force personnel from their deployment in the war in Afghanistan , signed the Wellington Declaration with the United States and has pushed for more nations to join the Trans - Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership . Tourism and agriculture are now the major industries that contribute to New Zealand 's economy . The traditional agricultural products of meat , dairy and wool has been supplemented by other products such as fruit , wine and timber as the economy has diversified .

when did the british came to new zealand
[ "From the 1790s, the waters around New Zealand were visited by British, French and American whaling, sealing and trading ships. Their crews traded European goods, including guns and metal tools, for Māori food, water, wood, flax and sex.[14] Māori were reputed to be enthusiastic and canny traders, even though the levels of technology, institutions and property rights differed greatly from the standards in European societies.[15] Although there were some conflicts, such as the killing of French explorer Marc-Joseph Marion du Fresne in 1772 and the destruction of the Boyd in 1809, most contact between Māori and European was peaceful." ]

Sodom and Gomorrah
Sodom and Gomorrah - wikipedia Sodom and Gomorrah This article is about the biblical cities . For other uses , see Sodom and Gomorrah ( disambiguation ) . The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah , John Martin , 1852 Sodom and Gomorrah being destroyed in the background of Lucas van Leyden 's 1520 painting Lot and his Daughters Sodom and Gomorrah ( / ˈsɒdəm ... ɡəˈmɒrə / ) were cities mentioned in the Book of Genesis and throughout the Hebrew Bible , the New Testament , and in the deuterocanonical books , as well as in the Quran and the hadith . According to the Torah , the kingdoms of Sodom and Gomorrah were allied with the cities of Admah , Zeboim , and Bela . These five cities , also known as the `` cities of the plain '' ( from Genesis in the Authorized Version ) , were situated on the Jordan River plain in the southern region of the land of Canaan . The plain , which corresponds to the area just north of the modern - day Dead Sea , was compared to the garden of Eden as being well - watered and green , suitable for grazing livestock . Divine judgment by God was passed upon Sodom and Gomorrah and two neighboring cities , which were completely consumed by fire and brimstone . Neighboring Zoar ( Bela ) was the only city to be spared . In Abrahamic religions , Sodom and Gomorrah have become synonymous with impenitent sin , and their fall with a proverbial manifestation of divine retribution . Sodom and Gomorrah have been used historically and today as metaphors for vice and homosexuality , although a close reading of the text and other Ancient Near Eastern sources suggest that this association may be incorrect . The story has therefore given rise to words in several languages . These include the English word sodomy , which is used in sodomy laws to describe sexual `` crimes against nature '' , namely anal or oral sex ( particularly homosexual ) , or bestiality . Some Islamic societies incorporate punishments associated with Sodom and Gomorrah into sharia . Contents 1 Etymology 2 Historicity 3 In the Book of Genesis 3.1 Battle of Siddim 3.2 The Judgment upon Sodom and Gomorrah 4 Other references 4.1 Moses 4.2 Major Prophets 4.3 Minor Prophets 4.4 New Testament 4.5 Deuterocanonical references 5 Religious views 5.1 Jewish 5.2 Christian 5.3 Islamic 6 Modern Sodom 7 Second World War 8 See also 9 References 10 External links Etymology ( edit ) The etymology of both names is uncertain , and scholars disagree about them . According to Bob Macdonald , the Hebrew term for Gomorrah was based on the Semitic root ʿ - m-r , which means `` be deep '' , `` copious ( water ) '' . Historicity ( edit ) Painting from William Francis Lynch book The Narrative of the United States Expedition of the River Jordan and the Dead Sea . Published in 1849 There are other stories and historical names which bear a resemblance to the biblical stories of Sodom and Gomorrah . Some possible natural explanations for the events described have been proposed , but no widely accepted or strongly verified sites for the cities have been found . Of the five `` cities of the plain '' , only Bela , modern - day Zoara , is securely identified , and it remained a settlement long after the biblical period . The ancient Greek historiographer Strabo states that locals living near Moasada ( as opposed to Masada ) say that `` there were once thirteen inhabited cities in that region of which Sodom was the metropolis '' . Strabo identifies a limestone and salt hill at the south western tip of the Dead Sea , and Kharbet Usdum ( Hebrew : הר סדום , Har Sedom or Arabic : جبل السدوم , Jabal ( u ) ' ssudūm ) ruins nearby as the site of biblical Sodom . Archibald Sayce translated an Akkadian poem describing cities that were destroyed in a rain of fire , written from the view of a person who escaped the destruction ; the names of the cities are not given . However , Sayce later mentions that the story more closely resembles the doom of Sennacherib 's host . In 1976 Giovanni Pettinato claimed that a cuneiform tablet that had been found in the newly discovered library at Ebla contained the names of all five of the cities of the plain ( Sodom , Gomorrah , Admah , Zeboim , and Bela ) , listed in the same order as in Genesis . The names si - da - mu ( TM. 76. G. 524 ) and ì - ma - ar ( TM. 75. G. 1570 and TM. 75. G. 2233 ) were identified as representing Sodom and Gomorrah , which gained some acceptance at the time . However , Alfonso Archi states that , judging from the surrounding city names in the cuneiform list , si - da - mu lies in northern Syria and not near the Dead Sea , and ì - ma - ar is a variant of ì - mar , known to represent Emar , an ancient city located near Ebla . Today , the scholarly consensus is that `` Ebla has no bearing on ... Sodom and Gomorra . '' Excavations of the areas near Mount Sodom , Tel el - Hammam , and Bab edh - Dhra , led by Ron Wyatt , uncovered large sulfur chunks embedded within natural rock . However , despite this seemingly incriminating find , these sulfuric deposits are most likely the result of calcite and gypsum reacting with the local strata following a seismic event . Furthermore , Wyatt 's reliability is discredited by many scholars , historians , historical organizations , and even religious institutions , including the Israel Antiquities Authority and Answers in Genesis . Certain skeptics of the biblical account have theorized that , provided that the cities existed at all , they might have been destroyed by natural disaster . One such idea is that the Dead Sea was devastated by an earthquake between 2100 and 1900 BCE . This might have unleashed showers of steaming tar . It is possible that the towns were destroyed by an earthquake , especially if they lay along a major fault such as the Jordan Rift Valley . There is a lack of contemporary accounts of seismic activity within the necessary timeframe , however , to corroborate this theory . In 1973 , Walter E. Rast and R. Thomas Schaub discovered or visited a number of possible sites of the cities , including Bab edh - Dhra , which was originally excavated in 1965 by archaeologist Paul Lapp , and later finished by Rast and Schaub following his death . Other possibilities include Numeira , al - Safi , Feifa , and Khanazir , which were also visited by Schaub and Rast . Each of the sites were near the Dead Sea and showed evidence of burning and traces of sulfur . According to Schaub , however , who dug at Bab edh - Dhra , Numeira was destroyed in 2600 BCE at a different time period than Bab edh - Dhra ( 2350 -- 2067 BCE ) . Another candidate for Sodom is the Tall el Hammam dig site which began in 2006 under the direction of Steven Collins . Tall el Hammam is located in the southern Jordan river valley approximately 14 kilometres ( 9 mi ) northeast of the Dead Sea , and according to Collins fits the biblical descriptions of the lands of Sodom . The ongoing dig is a result of joint cooperation between Trinity Southwest University and the Department of Antiquities of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan . Professor Eugene H. Merrill believes that the identification of Tall el - Hammam with Sodom would require an unacceptable restructuring of the biblical chronology . The Jewish historian Josephus identifies the Dead Sea in geographic proximity to the ancient biblical city of Sodom . He refers to the lake by its Greek name , Asphaltites .

Battle of Siddim ( edit ) See also : Battle of Siddim The Battle of Siddim is described in Genesis 14 : 1 -- 17 . Sodom and Gomorrah 's political situation is described when Lot had encamped in Sodom 's territory . At this time , `` the men of Sodom ( were ) wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly '' . Sodom was ruled by King Bera while Gomorrah was ruled by King Birsha . Their kingship , however , was not sovereign , because all of the river Jordan plain was under Elamite rule for 12 years . The kingdom of Elam was ruled by King Chedorlaomer . In the 13th year of subjugation to Elam , the five kings of the river Jordan plain allied to rebel against Elamite rule . These kings included those of Sodom and Gomorrah as well as their neighbors : King Shinab of Admah , King Shemeber of Zeboiim , and the unnamed king of Bela ( later called Zoar ) . In response , Elam 's King Chedorlaomer , gathered additional forces from Shinar , Ellasar and Goyim to suppress this rebellion from the cities of the plain . They waged war in the Vale of Siddim in the 14th year . The battle was brutal with heavy losses in the cities of the plain , with their resultant defeat , Genesis 14 : 10 . Sodom and Gomorrah were spoiled of their goods , and captives were taken , including Lot . The tide of war turned when Lot 's uncle , Abraham , gathered an elite force that slaughtered King Chedorlaomer 's forces in Hobah , north of Damascus . The success of his mission freed the cities of the plain from under Elam 's rule . The judgment upon Sodom and Gomorrah ( edit ) See also : Hospitality § Judaism The story of the judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah is told in Genesis 18 -- 19 . Three men , thought by most commentators to have been angels appearing as men , came to Abraham in the plains of Mamre . After the angels received the hospitality of Abraham and Sarah , `` the Lord '' revealed to Abraham that he would confirm what he had heard against Sodom and Gomorrah , `` and because their sin is very grievous . '' In response , Abraham inquired of the Lord if he would spare the city if 50 righteous people were found in it , to which the Lord agreed he would not destroy it for the sake of the righteous yet dwelling therein . Abraham then inquired of God for mercy at lower numbers ( first 45 , then 40 , then 30 , then 20 , and finally at 10 ) , with the Lord agreeing each time . Two angels were sent to Sodom to investigate and were met by Abraham 's nephew Lot , who convinced the angels to lodge with him , and they ate with Lot . Genesis 19 : 4 -- 5 described what followed , which confirmed its end : 4 But before they lay down , the men of the city , even the men of Sodom , compassed the house round , both young and old , all the people from every quarter . 5 And they called unto Lot , and said unto him : ' Where are the men that came in to thee this night ? bring them out unto us , that we may know them . ' ( NRSV : know them , NIV : can have sex with them , NJB : can have intercourse with them ) . Sodom and Gomorrah from the Nuremberg Chronicle by Hartmann Schedel , 1493 . Lot 's wife , already transformed into a salt pillar , is in the center . Lot refused to give his guests to the inhabitants of Sodom and , instead , offered them his two virgin daughters `` which have not known man '' and to `` do ye to them as ( is ) good in your eyes '' . However , they refused this offer , complained about this alien , namely Lot , giving orders , and then came near to break down the door . Lot 's angelic guests rescued him and struck the men with blindness and they informed Lot of their mission to destroy the city . Then ( not having found even 10 righteous people in the city ) , they commanded Lot to gather his family and leave . As they made their escape , one angel commanded Lot to `` look not behind thee '' ( singular `` thee '' ) . However , as Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed with brimstone and fire from the Lord , Lot 's wife looked back at the city , and she became a pillar of salt . Other references ( edit ) Major and minor prophets in the Hebrew Bible have referred to Sodom and Gomorrah to parallel their prophetic events . The New Testament also contains passages of parallels to the destruction and surrounding events that pertained to these cities and those who were involved . Later deuterocanonical texts attempt to glean additional insights about these cities of the Jordan Plain and their residents . Moses ( edit ) Moses referred to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in Deuteronomy 29 : 22 -- 23 : `` Your children who follow you in later generations and foreigners who come from distant lands will see the calamities that have fallen on the land and the diseases with which the Lord has afflicted it . The whole land will be a burning waste of salt and sulfur -- nothing planted , nothing sprouting , no vegetation growing on it . It will be like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah , Admah and Zeboyim , which the Lord overthrew in fierce anger . '' -- NIV See also : Deuteronomy 32 : 32 -- 33 Major prophets ( edit ) Isaiah 1 : 9 -- 10 , Isaiah 3 : 9 and Isaiah 13 : 19 -- 22 addresses people as from Sodom and Gomorrah , associates Sodom with shameless sinning and tells Babylon that it will end like those two cities . Jeremiah 23 : 14 , Jeremiah 49 : 17 -- 18 , Jeremiah 50 : 39 -- 40 and Lamentations 4 : 6 associate Sodom and Gomorrah with adultery and lies , prophesies the fate of Edom , south of the Dead Sea , predicts the fate of Babylon and uses Sodom as a comparison . In Ezekiel 16 : 48 -- 50 , God compares Jerusalem to Sodom , saying `` Sodom never did what you and your daughters have done . '' He explains that the sin of Sodom was that `` She and her daughters were arrogant , overfed and unconcerned ; they did not help the poor and needy . They were haughty and did detestable things before me . '' Minor prophets ( edit ) In Amos 4 : 1 -- 11 , God tells the Israelites that although he treated them like Sodom and Gomorrah , they still did not repent . In Zephaniah 2 : 9 , Zephaniah tells Moab and Ammon , southeast and northeast of the Dead Sea , that they will end up like Sodom and Gomorrah . New Testament ( edit ) In Matthew 10 : 1 -- 15 , cf . Luke 10 : 1 -- 12 , Jesus declares certain cities more damnable than Sodom and Gomorrah , due to their response to Jesus ' disciples , in the light of greater grace ( RSV ) : `` And if any one will not receive you or listen to your words , shake off the dust from your feet as you leave that house or town . Truly , I say to you , it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomor'rah than for that town . '' In Matthew 11 : 20 -- 24 , Jesus prophesies the fate of some cities where he did some of his works ( RSV ) : `` And you , Caper'na - um , will you be exalted to heaven ? You shall be brought down to Hades . For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom , it would have remained until this day . But I tell you that it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you . '' In Luke 17 : 28 -- 30 , Jesus compares his second - coming to the judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah ( RSV ) : `` Likewise as it was in the days of Lot -- they ate , they drank , they bought , they sold , they planted , they built , but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom fire and sulphur rained from heaven and destroyed them all -- so will it be on the day when the Son of man is revealed . '' In Romans 9 : 29 , Paul the Apostle quotes Isaiah 1 : 9 ( RSV ) : `` And as Isaiah predicted , ' If the Lord of hosts had not left us children , we would have fared like Sodom and been made like Gomor'rah . ' '' In 2 Peter 2 : 4 -- 10 , Saint Peter says that just as God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and saved Lot , he will deliver godly people from temptations and punish the wicked on Judgement Day . Jude 1 : 7 records that both Sodom and Gomorrah were `` giving themselves over to fornication , and going after strange flesh , are set forth for an example , suffering the vengeance of eternal fire '' . Revelation 11 : 7 -- 8 makes an allegorical use of Sodom when it describes the places where the two witnesses will descend during the Apocalypse . Deuterocanonical references ( edit ) Wisdom 10 : 6 -- 8 refers to the Five Cities : Wisdom rescued a righteous man when the ungodly were perishing ; he escaped the fire that descended on the Five Cities . Evidence of their wickedness still remains : a continually smoking wasteland , plants bearing fruit that does not ripen , and a pillar of salt standing as a monument to an unbelieving soul . For because they passed wisdom by , they not only were hindered from recognizing the good , but also left for mankind a reminder of their folly , so that their failures could never go unnoticed . Wisdom 19 : 17 says that the Egyptians who enslaved the Israelites were `` struck with blindness , like the men of Sodom who came to the door of that righteous man Lot . They found themselves in total darkness , as each one groped around to find his own door . '' Sirach 16 : 8 says `` ( God ) did not spare the neighbors of Lot , whom he loathed on account of their insolence . '' In 3 Maccabees 2 : 5 , the high priest Simon says that God `` consumed with fire and sulphur the men of Sodom who acted arrogantly , who were notorious for their vices ; and you made them an example to those who should come afterward '' . 2 Esdras 2 : 8 -- 9 says `` Woe to you , Assyria , who conceal the unrighteous in your midst ! O wicked nation , remember what I did to Sodom and Gomor ′ rah , whose land lies in lumps of pitch and heaps of ashes . So will I do to those who have not listened to me , says the Lord Almighty . '' 2 Esdras 5 : 1 -- 13 describes signs of the end times , one of which is that `` the sea of Sodom shall cast up fish '' . In 2 Esdras 7 : 106 , Ezra says that Abraham prayed for the people of Sodom . Religious views ( edit ) Jewish ( edit ) Rictor Norton views classical Jewish texts as stressing the cruelty and lack of hospitality of the inhabitants of Sodom to the `` stranger '' . The people of Sodom were seen as guilty of many other significant sins . Rabbinic writings affirm that the Sodomites also committed economic crimes , blasphemy and bloodshed . Other extrabiblical crimes committed by Sodom and Gomorrah included harshly punishing victims for crimes that the perpetrator committed , including forcing an assault victim to pay for the perpetrator 's `` bleeding '' and forcing a woman to marry a man who intentionally caused her miscarriage to compensate for the lost child . Because of this , the judges of the two cities were referred to as Shakrai ( `` Liar '' ) , Shakurai ( `` Awful Liar '' ) , Zayyafi ( `` Forger '' ) and Mazle Dina ( `` Perverter of Justice '' ) . The citizens regularly engaged in the torture of foreigners who sought lodging . They did this by providing the foreigners a standard - sized beds and if they saw that the foreigner was too short for the bed , they would forcibly stretch their limbs but if the foreigner was too tall , they would cut off their legs . According to the Book of Jasher , Paltith , one of Lot 's daughters , was burnt alive ( in some versions , on a pyre ) for giving a poor man bread . Another woman was similarly executed in Admah for giving a traveler , who intended to leave the town the next day , water . When the scandal was revealed , the woman was stripped naked and covered with honey as she was slowly stung to death by bees . Her cries reportedly went up into the heavens , the turning point that was revealed to have provoked God to enact judgement upon Sodom and Gomorrah in the first place . Jon D. Levenson views a rabbinic tradition described in the Mishnah as postulating that the sin of Sodom was a violation of conventional hospitality in addition to homosexual conduct , describing Sodom 's lack of generosity with the saying , `` What is mine is mine ; what is yours is yours '' ( m . Avot 5.10 ) . A modern orthodox position is one that holds , `` The paradigmatic instance of such aberrant behavior is found in the demand of the men of Sodom to ' know ' the men visiting Lot , the nephew of Abraham , thus lending their name to the practice of ' sodomy ' . '' Jay Michaelson proposes a reading of the story of Sodom that emphasizes the violation of hospitality as well as the violence of the Sodomites . `` Homosexual rape is the way in which they violate hospitality -- not the essence of their transgression . Reading the story of Sodom as being about homosexuality is like reading the story of an ax murderer as being about an ax . '' Michaelson places the story of Sodom in context with other Genesis stories regarding Abraham 's hospitality to strangers , and argues that when other texts in the Hebrew Bible mention Sodom , they do so without commentary on homosexuality . The verses cited by Michaelson include Jeremiah 23 : 14 , where the sins of Jerusalem are compared to Sodom and are listed as adultery , lying , and strengthening the hands of evildoers ; Amos 4 : 1 -- 11 ( oppressing the poor and crushing the needy ) ; and Ezekiel 16 : 49 -- 50 , which defines the sins of Sodom as `` pride , fullness of bread , and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters , neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy . And they were haughty , and did toevah before me , and I took them away as I saw fit . '' Michaelson uses toevah in place of abomination to emphasize the original Hebrew , which he explains as being more correctly translated as `` taboo '' . Christian ( edit ) Several theories have been advanced in Christian thought concerning the sin of Sodom . One area of dispute is whether the mob was demanding the homosexual rape of Lot 's guests . A second area of dispute is whether the act of homosexuality or the act of inhospitality and violence towards foreigners is the more significant ethical downfall of Sodom . The first contention between the two positions primarily focuses upon the meaning of the Hebrew verb ידע ( yada ) , translated as know in the King James Version : And they called unto Lot , and said unto him , Where ( are ) the men which came in to thee this night ? bring them out unto us , that we may know them . -- Genesis 19 : 5 However , the word `` know '' in the King James Version has been used to refer to sexual intercourse . One example can be found in Genesis 4 : 1 between Adam and Eve : And Adam knew Eve his wife ; and she conceived , and bare Cain , and said , I have gotten a man from the LORD. -- Genesis 4 : 1 Some Hebrew scholars believe that yada , unlike the English word know , requires the existence of a `` personal and intimate relationship '' . For this reason , many of the most popular of the 20th century translations , including the New International Version , the New King James Version , and the New Living Translation , translate yada as `` have sex with '' or `` know ... carnally '' in Gen 19 : 5 Those who favor the non-sexual interpretation argue against a denotation of sexual behavior in this context , noting that while the Hebrew word for know appears over 900 times in the Hebrew Scriptures , only 1 % ( 13 -- 14 times ) of those references are clearly used as a euphemism for realizing sexual intimacy . Instead , those who hold to this interpretation see the demand to know as demanding the right to interrogate the strangers . Countering this is the observation that one of the examples of know meaning to know sexually occurs when Lot responds to the Gen 19 : 5 request , by offering his daughters for rape , only three verses later in the same narrative : Behold now , I have two daughters which have not known man ; let me , I pray you , bring them out unto you , and do ye to them as is good in your eyes : only unto these men do nothing ... -- Genesis 19 : 8 The following is a major text in regard to these conflicting opinions : Even as Sodom and Gomorrah , and the cities about them in like manner , giving themselves over to fornication , and going after strange flesh , are set forth for an example , suffering the vengeance of eternal fire . -- Jude 1 : 7 This reference to `` going after strange flesh '' is understood in different ways to include something akin to bestiality , having illicit sex with strangers , having sex with angels , but most often God 's destruction of the populations of the four cities is interpreted to mean homosexual ( same - sex ) relations . Many who interpret the stories in a non-sexual context contend that as the word for `` strange '' is akin to `` another '' , `` other '' , `` altered '' or even `` next '' , the meaning is unclear , and if the condemnation of Sodom was the result of sexual activities perceived to be perverse , then it is likely that it was because women sought to commit fornication with `` other than human '' angels , perhaps referring to Genesis 6 or the apocryphal Book of Enoch . Countering this , it is pointed out that Genesis 6 refers to angels seeking women , not men seeking angels , and that both Sodom and Gomorrah were engaged in the sin Jude describes before the angelic visitation , and that , regardless , it is doubtful that the Sodomites knew they were angels . In addition , it is argued the word used in the King James Version of the Bible for `` strange '' , can mean unlawful or corrupted ( Rm. 7 : 3 ; Gal. 1 : 6 ) , and that the apocryphal Second Book of Enoch condemns `` sodomitic '' sex ( 2 Enoch 10 : 3 ; 34 : 1 ) , thus indicating that homosexual relations was the prevalent physical sin of Sodom . Both the non-sexual and the homosexuality view invoke certain classical writings as well as other portions of the Bible . Now this was the sin of Sodom : She and her daughters were arrogant , overfed and unconcerned ; they did not help the poor and needy . They were haughty and did detestable things before me . Therefore I did away with them as you have seen . -- Ezekiel 16 : 49 -- 50 Here the nonsexual view focuses on the inhospitality aspect , while the other notes the description detestable or abomination , the Hebrew word for which often denotes moral sins , including those of a sexual nature . In the Gospel of Matthew ( and corresponding verse ) when Jesus warns of a worse judgment for some cities than Sodom , inhospitality is perceived by some as the sin , while others see it fundamentally being impenitence : If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words , shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town . I tell you the truth , it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town . -- Matthew 10 : 14 -- 15 The nonsexual view focuses on the cultural importance of hospitality , which this biblical story shares with other ancient civilizations , such as Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome , where hospitality was of singular importance and strangers were under the protection of the gods . James L. Kugel , Starr Professor of Hebrew Literature at Harvard University suggests the story encompasses the sexual and non-sexual : the Sodomites were guilty of stinginess , inhospitality and sexual license , homo - and heterosexual in contrast to the generosity of Abraham , and Lot whose behavior in protecting the visitors but offering his daughters suggests he was `` scarcely better than his neighbors '' according to some ancient commentators , The Bible As It Was , 1997 , pp. 179 -- 197 . Within the Christian Churches that agree on the possible sexual interpretation of know ( yada ) in this context , there is still a difference of opinion on whether homosexuality is important . On its website , the Anglican Communion presents the argument that the story is `` not even vaguely about homosexual love or relationships '' , but is instead `` about dominance and rape , by definition an act of violence , not of sex or love '' . This argument that the violence and the threat of violence towards foreign visitors is the true ethical downfall of Sodom ( and not homosexuality ) , also observes the similarity between the Sodom and Gomorrah and the Battle of Gibeah Bible stories . In both stories , an inhospitable mob demands the homosexual rape of a foreigner or foreigners . As the mob instead settles for the rape and murder of the foreigner 's female concubine in the Battle of Gibeah story , the homosexual aspect is generally seen as inconsequential , and the ethical downfall is understood to be the violence and the threat of violence towards foreigners by the mob . This Exodus 22 : 21 -- 24 lesson is viewed by Anglicans as a more historically accurate way to interpret the Sodom and Gomorrah story . Islamic ( edit ) Main article : Lot in Islam Lut fleeing the city with his daughters ; his wife is killed by a rock . The Quran contains twelve references to `` the people of Lut '' , the biblical Lot , but meaning the residents of Sodom and Gomorrah , and their destruction by God is associated explicitly with their sexual practices : The ' people of Lot ' transgressed consciously against the bounds of God . Lot only prayed to God to be saved from doing as they did . Then Gabriel met Lot and said that he must leave the city quickly , as God had given this command to Lot for saving his life . In the Quran it was written that Lot 's wife stayed behind as she had transgressed . She met her fate in the disaster , and only Lot and his family were saved during the destruction of their city , with the understanding that the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah are identified in Genesis , but `` the location remains unnamed in the Qur'an '' In the Quran , surah ( chapter ) 26 Ash - Shu ` arā ' ( The Poets ) -- So , We saved him and his family , all . Except an old woman among those who remained behind . -- Quran 26 : 170 -- 171 Commentary : This was his wife , who was a bad old woman . She stayed behind and was destroyed with whoever else was left . This is similar to what Allah says about them in Surat Al - A ` raf and Surat Hud , and in Surat Al - Hijr , where Allah commanded him to take his family at night , except for his wife , and not to turn around when they heard the Sayhah as it came upon his people . So they patiently obeyed the command of Allah and persevered , and Allah sent upon the people a punishment which struck them all , and rained upon them stones of baked clay , piled up . -- Tafsir ibn Kathir ( Commentary by Ibn Kathir ) Modern Sodom ( edit ) The site of the present Dead Sea Works , a large operation for the extraction of Dead Sea minerals , is called `` Sdom '' ( סדום ) according to its traditional Arab name , Khirbet as - sudūm ( خربت السدوم ) . Nearby is Mount Sodom ( הר סדום in Hebrew and جبل السدوم in Arabic ) which consists mainly of salt . In the Plain of Sdom ( מישור סדום ) to the south there are a few springs and two small agricultural villages , Neot Hakikar and Ein Tamar . Second World war ( edit ) `` Operation Gomorrah '' was the name given to the Bombing of Hamburg in July 1943 , in which 42,600 civilians were killed , and where use of incendiaries caused a vortex and whirling updraft of super-heated air which created a 460 meter high tornado of fire .

Employing nonviolent civil disobedience , Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world . The honorific Mahātmā ( Sanskrit : `` high - souled '' , `` venerable '' ) -- applied to him first in 1914 in South Africa -- is now used worldwide . In India , he is also called Bapu ( Gujarati : endearment for father , papa ) and Gandhi ji . He is unofficially called the Father of the Nation . Born and raised in a Hindu merchant caste family in coastal Gujarat , western India , and trained in law at the Inner Temple , London , Gandhi first employed nonviolent civil disobedience as an expatriate lawyer in South Africa , in the resident Indian community 's struggle for civil rights . After his return to India in 1915 , he set about organising peasants , farmers , and urban labourers to protest against excessive land - tax and discrimination . Assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921 , Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for various social causes and for achieving Swaraj or self - rule . Gandhi famously led Indians in challenging the British - imposed salt tax with the 400 km ( 250 mi ) Dandi Salt March in 1930 , and later in calling for the British to Quit India in 1942 . He was imprisoned for many years , upon many occasions , in both South Africa and India . He lived modestly in a self - sufficient residential community and wore the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl , woven with yarn hand - spun on a charkha . He ate simple vegetarian food , and also undertook long fasts as a means of both self - purification and political protest . Gandhi 's vision of an independent India based on religious pluralism , however , was challenged in the early 1940s by a new Muslim nationalism which was demanding a separate Muslim homeland carved out of India . Eventually , in August 1947 , Britain granted independence , but the British Indian Empire was partitioned into two dominions , a Hindu - majority India and Muslim - majority Pakistan . As many displaced Hindus , Muslims , and Sikhs made their way to their new lands , religious violence broke out , especially in the Punjab and Bengal . Eschewing the official celebration of independence in Delhi , Gandhi visited the affected areas , attempting to provide solace . In the months following , he undertook several fasts unto death to stop religious violence . The last of these , undertaken on 12 January 1948 when he was 78 , also had the indirect goal of pressuring India to pay out some cash assets owed to Pakistan . Some Indians thought Gandhi was too accommodating . Among them was Nathuram Godse , a Hindu nationalist , who assassinated Gandhi on 30 January 1948 by firing three bullets into his chest . Godse was found guilty and executed the following year . Gandhi 's birthday , 2 October , is commemorated in India as Gandhi Jayanti , a national holiday , and worldwide as the International Day of Nonviolence .

His father , Karamchand Uttamchand Gandhi ( 1822 -- 1885 ) , served as the diwan ( chief minister ) of Porbandar state . Although he only had an elementary education and had previously been a clerk in the state administration , Karamchand proved a capable chief minister . During his tenure , Karamchand married four times . His first two wives died young , after each had given birth to a daughter , and his third marriage was childless . In 1857 , Karamchand sought his third wife 's permission to remarry ; that year , he married Putlibai ( 1844 -- 1891 ) , who also came from Junagadh , and was from a Pranami Vaishnava family . Karamchand and Putlibai had three children over the ensuing decade , a son , Laxmidas ( c. 1860 -- March 1914 ) , a daughter , Raliatbehn ( 1862 -- 1960 ) and another son , Karsandas ( c. 1866 -- 1913 ) . On 2 October 1869 , Putlibai gave birth to her last child , Mohandas , in a dark , windowless ground - floor room of the Gandhi family residence in Porbandar city . As a child , Gandhi was described by his sister Raliat as `` restless as mercury , either playing or roaming about . One of his favourite pastimes was twisting dogs ' ears . '' The Indian classics , especially the stories of Shravana and king Harishchandra , had a great impact on Gandhi in his childhood . In his autobiography , he admits that they left an indelible impression on his mind . He writes : `` It haunted me and I must have acted Harishchandra to myself times without number . '' Gandhi 's early self - identification with truth and love as supreme values is traceable to these epic characters . The family 's religious background was eclectic . Gandhi 's father Karamchand was Hindu and his mother Putlibai was from a Pranami Vaishnava Hindu family . Gandhi 's father was of Modh Baniya caste in the varna of Vaishya . His mother came from the medieval Krishna bhakti - based Pranami tradition , whose religious texts include the Bhagavad Gita , the Bhagavata Purana , and a collection of 14 texts with teachings that the tradition believes to include the essence of the Vedas , the Quran and the Bible . Gandhi was deeply influenced by his mother , an extremely pious lady who `` would not think of taking her meals without her daily prayers ... she would take the hardest vows and keep them without flinching . To keep two or three consecutive fasts was nothing to her . '' In 1874 , Gandhi 's father Karamchand left Porbandar for the smaller state of Rajkot , where he became a counsellor to its ruler , the Thakur Sahib ; though Rajkot was a less prestigious state than Porbandar , the British regional political agency was located there , which gave the state 's diwan a measure of security . In 1876 , Karamchand became diwan of Rajkot and was succeeded as diwan of Porbandar by his brother Tulsidas . His family then rejoined him in Rajkot . Gandhi ( right ) with his eldest brother Laxmidas in 1886 . At age 9 , Gandhi entered the local school in Rajkot , near his home . There he studied the rudiments of arithmetic , history , the Gujarati language and geography . At age 11 , he joined the High School in Rajkot . He was an average student , won some prizes , but was a shy and tongue tied student , with no interest in games ; his only companions were books and school lessons . While at high school , Gandhi 's elder brother introduced him to a Muslim friend named Sheikh Mehtab . Mehtab was older in age , taller and encouraged the strictly vegetarian boy to eat meat to gain height . He also took Mohandas to a brothel one day , though Mohandas `` was struck blind and dumb in this den of vice , '' rebuffed the prostitutes ' advances and was promptly sent out of the brothel . The experience caused Mohandas mental anguish , and he abandoned the company of Mehtab . In May 1883 , the 13 - year - old Mohandas was married to 14 - year - old Kasturbai Makhanji Kapadia ( her first name was usually shortened to `` Kasturba '' , and affectionately to `` Ba '' ) in an arranged marriage , according to the custom of the region at that time . In the process , he lost a year at school , but was later allowed to make up by accelerating his studies . His wedding was a joint event , where his brother and cousin were also married . Recalling the day of their marriage , he once said , `` As we did n't know much about marriage , for us it meant only wearing new clothes , eating sweets and playing with relatives . '' However , as was prevailing tradition , the adolescent bride was to spend much time at her parents ' house , and away from her husband . Writing many years later , Mohandas described with regret the lustful feelings he felt for his young bride , `` even at school I used to think of her , and the thought of nightfall and our subsequent meeting was ever haunting me . '' He later recalled feeling jealous and possessive of her , such as when she would visit a temple with her girlfriends , and being sexually lustful in his feelings for her . In late 1885 , Gandhi 's father Karamchand died . Gandhi , then 16 years old , and his wife of age 17 had their first baby , who survived only a few days . The two deaths anguished Gandhi . The Gandhi couple had four more children , all sons : Harilal , born in 1888 ; Manilal , born in 1892 ; Ramdas , born in 1897 ; and Devdas , born in 1900 . In November 1887 , the 18 - year - old Gandhi graduated from high school in Ahmedabad . In January 1888 , he enrolled at Samaldas College in Bhavnagar State , then the sole degree - granting institution of higher education in the region . But he dropped out and returned to his family in Porbandar . English barrister Gandhi came from a poor family , and he had dropped out of the cheapest college he could afford . Mavji Dave Joshiji , a Brahmin priest and family friend , advised Gandhi and his family that he should consider law studies in London . In July 1888 , his wife Kasturba gave birth to their first surviving son , Harilal . His mother was not comfortable about Gandhi leaving his wife and family , and going so far from home . Gandhi 's uncle Tulsidas also tried to dissuade his nephew . Gandhi wanted to go . To persuade his wife and mother , Gandhi made a vow in front of his mother that he would abstain from meat , alcohol and women . Gandhi 's brother Laxmidas , who was already a lawyer , cheered Gandhi 's London studies plan and offered to support him . Putlibai gave Gandhi her permission and blessing . On 10 August 1888 , Gandhi aged 18 , left Porbandar for Mumbai , then known as Bombay . Upon arrival , he stayed with the local Modh Bania community while waiting for the ship travel arrangements . The head of the community knew Gandhi 's father . After learning Gandhi 's plans , he and other elders warned Gandhi that England would tempt him to compromise his religion , and eat and drink in Western ways . Gandhi informed them of his promise to his mother and her blessings . The local chief disregarded it , and excommunicated him an outcast . But Gandhi ignored this , and on 4 September , he sailed from Bombay to London . His brother saw him off . Gandhi in London as a law student In London , Gandhi studied law and jurisprudence and enrolled at the Inner Temple with the intention of becoming a barrister . His childhood shyness and self withdrawal had continued through his teens , and he remained so when he arrived in London , but he joined a public speaking practice group and overcame this handicap to practise law . His time in London was influenced by the vow he had made to his mother . He tried to adopt `` English '' customs , including taking dancing lessons . However , he could not appreciate the bland vegetarian food offered by his landlady and was frequently hungry until he found one of London 's few vegetarian restaurants . Influenced by Henry Salt 's writing , he joined the Vegetarian Society , was elected to its executive committee , and started a local Bayswater chapter . Some of the vegetarians he met were members of the Theosophical Society , which had been founded in 1875 to further universal brotherhood , and which was devoted to the study of Buddhist and Hindu literature . They encouraged Gandhi to join them in reading the Bhagavad Gita both in translation as well as in the original . Gandhi , at age 22 , was called to the bar in June 1891 and then left London for India , where he learned that his mother had died while he was in London and that his family had kept the news from him . His attempts at establishing a law practice in Bombay failed because he was psychologically unable to cross-examine witnesses . He returned to Rajkot to make a modest living drafting petitions for litigants , but he was forced to stop when he ran afoul of a British officer . In 1893 , a Muslim merchant in Kathiawar named Dada Abdullah contacted Gandhi . Abdullah owned a large successful shipping business in South Africa . His distant cousin in Johannesburg needed a lawyer , and they preferred someone with Kathiawari heritage . Gandhi inquired about his pay for the work . They offered a total salary of £ 105 plus travel expenses . He accepted it , knowing that it would be at least one year commitment in the Colony of Natal , South Africa , also a part of the British Empire . Civil rights activist in South Africa ( 1893 -- 1914 ) In April 1893 , Gandhi aged 23 , set sail for South Africa to be the lawyer for Abdullah 's cousin . He spent 21 years in South Africa , where he developed his political views , ethics and politics . Immediately upon arriving in South Africa , Gandhi faced discrimination because of his skin colour and heritage , like all people of colour . He was not allowed to sit with European passengers in the stagecoach and told to sit on the floor near the driver , then beaten when he refused ; elsewhere he was kicked into a gutter for daring to walk near a house , in another instance thrown off a train at Pietermaritzburg after refusing to leave the first - class . He sat in the train station , shivering all night and pondering if he should return to India or protest for his rights . He chose to protest and was allowed to board the train the next day . In another incident , the magistrate of a Durban court ordered Gandhi to remove his turban , which he refused to do . Indians were not allowed to walk on public footpaths in South Africa . Gandhi was kicked by a police officer out of the footpath onto the street without warning . When Gandhi arrived in South Africa , according to Herman , he thought of himself as `` a Briton first , and an Indian second '' . However , the prejudice against him and his fellow Indians from British people that Gandhi experienced and observed deeply bothered him . He found it humiliating , struggling to understand how some people can feel honour or superiority or pleasure in such inhumane practices . Gandhi began to question his people 's standing in the British Empire . The Abdullah case that had brought him to South Africa concluded in May 1894 , and the Indian community organised a farewell party for Gandhi as he prepared to return to India . However , a new Natal government discriminatory proposal led to Gandhi extending his original period of stay in South Africa . He planned to assist Indians in opposing a bill to deny them the right to vote , a right then proposed to be an exclusive European right . He asked Joseph Chamberlain , the British Colonial Secretary , to reconsider his position on this bill . Though unable to halt the bill 's passage , his campaign was successful in drawing attention to the grievances of Indians in South Africa . He helped found the Natal Indian Congress in 1894 , and through this organisation , he moulded the Indian community of South Africa into a unified political force . In January 1897 , when Gandhi landed in Durban , a mob of white settlers attacked him and he escaped only through the efforts of the wife of the police superintendent . However , he refused to press charges against any member of the mob . Gandhi with the stretcher - bearers of the Indian Ambulance Corps During the Boer War , Gandhi volunteered in 1900 to form a group of stretcher - bearers as the Natal Indian Ambulance Corps . According to Arthur Herman , Gandhi wanted to disprove the imperial British stereotype that Hindus were not fit for `` manly '' activities involving danger and exertion , unlike the Muslim `` martial races '' . Gandhi raised eleven hundred Indian volunteers , to support British combat troops against the Boers . They were trained and medically certified to serve on the front lines . They were auxiliaries at the Battle of Colenso to a White volunteer ambulance corps ; then at Spion Kop Gandhi and his bearers moved to the front line and had to carry wounded soldiers for miles to a field hospital because the terrain was too rough for the ambulances . Gandhi and thirty - seven other Indians received the Queen 's South Africa Medal . Gandhi and his wife Kasturba ( 1902 ) In 1906 , the Transvaal government promulgated a new Act compelling registration of the colony 's Indian and Chinese populations . At a mass protest meeting held in Johannesburg on 11 September that year , Gandhi adopted his still evolving methodology of Satyagraha ( devotion to the truth ) , or nonviolent protest , for the first time . According to Anthony Parel , Gandhi was also influenced by the Tamil text Tirukkuṛaḷ because Leo Tolstoy mentioned it in their correspondence that began with A Letter to a Hindu . Gandhi urged Indians to defy the new law and to suffer the punishments for doing so . Gandhi 's ideas of protests , persuasion skills and public relations had emerged . He took these back to India in 1915 . Europeans , Indians and Africans Gandhi focused his attention on Indians while in South Africa . He was not interested in politics . This changed after he was discriminated against and bullied , such as by being thrown out of a train coach because of his skin colour by a white train official . After several such incidents with Whites in South Africa , Gandhi 's thinking and focus changed , he felt he must resist this and fight for rights . He entered politics by forming Natal Indian Congress . According to Ashwin Desai and Goolam Vahed , Gandhi 's views on racism are contentious , in some cases distressing to those who admire him . Gandhi suffered persecution from the beginning in South Africa . Like with other coloured people , white officials denied him his rights , the press and those in the streets bullied and called him a parasite , semi-barbarous , canker , squalid coolie , yellow man , and other epithets . People would spit on him as an expression of racial hate . While in South Africa , Gandhi focused on racial persecution of Indians , ignored those of Africans . In some cases , state Desai and Vahed , his behaviour was one of being a willing part of racial stereotyping and African exploitation . In a speech in September 1896 in India , for example , Gandhi complained the whites in British colony of South Africa were degrading Indian Hindus and Muslims to `` a level of Kaffir '' . Scholars cite it as an example evidence that Gandhi at that time felt about Indians and black South Africans differently . As another example given by Herman , Gandhi , at age 24 , prepared a legal brief for the Natal Assembly in 1895 , seeking voting rights for Indians . Gandhi cited race history and European Orientalists ' opinions that `` Anglo - Saxons and Indians are sprung from the same Aryan stock or rather the Indo - European peoples '' , and argued that Indians should not be grouped with the Africans . Years later , Gandhi and his colleagues served and helped Africans as nurses and by opposing racism , according to the Nobel Peace Prize winner Nelson Mandela . The general image of Gandhi , state Desai and Vahed , has been reinvented since his assassination as if he was always a saint , when in reality his life was more complex , contained inconvenient truths and was one that evolved over time . In contrast , other Africa scholars state the evidence points to a rich history of co-operation and efforts by Gandhi and Indian people with nonwhite South Africans against persecution of Africans and the Apartheid . In 1906 , when the British declared war against the Zulu Kingdom in Natal , Gandhi at age 36 , sympathised with the Zulus , and encouraged the Indian volunteers to help as an ambulance unit . He argued that Indians should participate in the war efforts to change attitudes and perceptions of the British people against the coloured people . Gandhi , a group of 20 Indians and black people of South Africa volunteered as a stretcher - bearer corps to treat wounded British soldiers and the opposite side of the war : Zulu victims . Gandhi photographed in South Africa ( 1909 ) White soldiers stopped Gandhi and team from treating the injured Zulu , and some African stretcher - bearers with Gandhi were shot dead by the British . The medical team commanded by Gandhi operated for less than two months . Gandhi volunteering to help as a `` staunch loyalist '' during the Zulu and other wars made no difference in the British attitude , states Herman , and the African experience was a part of his great disillusionment with the West , transforming him into an `` uncompromising non-cooperator '' . In 1910 , Gandhi established an idealistic community called ' Tolstoy Farm ' near Johannesburg , where he nurtured his policy of peaceful resistance . In the years after black South Africans gained the right to vote in South Africa ( 1994 ) , Gandhi was proclaimed a national hero with numerous monuments . Struggle for Indian independence ( 1915 -- 1947 ) See also : Indian independence movement At the request of Gopal Krishna Gokhale , conveyed to him by C.F. Andrews , Gandhi returned to India in 1915 . He brought an international reputation as a leading Indian nationalist , theorist and community organiser . Gandhi joined the Indian National Congress and was introduced to Indian issues , politics and the Indian people primarily by Gokhale . Gokhale was a key leader of the Congress Party best known for his restraint and moderation , and his insistence on working inside the system . Gandhi took Gokhale 's liberal approach based on British Whiggish traditions and transformed it to make it look Indian . Gandhi took leadership of the Congress in 1920 and began escalating demands until on 26 January 1930 the Indian National Congress declared the independence of India . The British did not recognise the declaration but negotiations ensued , with the Congress taking a role in provincial government in the late 1930s . Gandhi and the Congress withdrew their support of the Raj when the Viceroy declared war on Germany in September 1939 without consultation . Tensions escalated until Gandhi demanded immediate independence in 1942 and the British responded by imprisoning him and tens of thousands of Congress leaders . Meanwhile , the Muslim League did co-operate with Britain and moved , against Gandhi 's strong opposition , to demands for a totally separate Muslim state of Pakistan . In August 1947 the British partitioned the land with India and Pakistan each achieving independence on terms that Gandhi disapproved . Role in World war I See also : The role of India in World War I In April 1918 , during the latter part of World War I , the Viceroy invited Gandhi to a War Conference in Delhi . Gandhi agreed to actively recruit Indians for the war effort . In contrast to the Zulu War of 1906 and the outbreak of World War I in 1914 , when he recruited volunteers for the Ambulance Corps , this time Gandhi attempted to recruit combatants . In a June 1918 leaflet entitled `` Appeal for Enlistment '' , Gandhi wrote `` To bring about such a state of things we should have the ability to defend ourselves , that is , the ability to bear arms and to use them ... If we want to learn the use of arms with the greatest possible despatch , it is our duty to enlist ourselves in the army . '' He did , however , stipulate in a letter to the Viceroy 's private secretary that he `` personally will not kill or injure anybody , friend or foe . '' Gandhi 's war recruitment campaign brought into question his consistency on nonviolence . Gandhi 's private secretary noted that `` The question of the consistency between his creed of ' Ahimsa ' ( nonviolence ) and his recruiting campaign was raised not only then but has been discussed ever since . '' Champaran and Kheda Champaran agitations Main article : Champaran Satyagraha Gandhi in 1918 , at the time of the Kheda and Champaran Satyagrahas Gandhi 's first major achievement came in 1917 with the Champaran agitation in Bihar . The Champaran agitation pitted the local peasantry against their largely British landlords who were backed by the local administration . The peasantry was forced to grow Indigo , a cash crop whose demand had been declining over two decades , and were forced to sell their crops to the planters at a fixed price . Unhappy with this , the peasantry appealed to Gandhi at his ashram in Ahmedabad . Pursuing a strategy of nonviolent protest , Gandhi took the administration by surprise and won concessions from the authorities . Kheda agitations Main article : Kheda Satyagraha In 1918 , Kheda was hit by floods and famine and the peasantry was demanding relief from taxes . Gandhi moved his headquarters to Nadiad , organising scores of supporters and fresh volunteers from the region , the most notable being Vallabhbhai Patel . Using non-co - operation as a technique , Gandhi initiated a signature campaign where peasants pledged non-payment of revenue even under the threat of confiscation of land . A social boycott of mamlatdars and talatdars ( revenue officials within the district ) accompanied the agitation . Gandhi worked hard to win public support for the agitation across the country . For five months , the administration refused but finally in end - May 1918 , the Government gave way on important provisions and relaxed the conditions of payment of revenue tax until the famine ended . In Kheda , Vallabhbhai Patel represented the farmers in negotiations with the British , who suspended revenue collection and released all the prisoners . Khilafat movement In 1919 , Gandhi then aged 49 , after the World War I was over , sought political co-operation from Muslims in his fight against British imperialism by supporting the Ottoman Empire that had been defeated in the World War . Before this initiative of Gandhi , communal disputes and religious riots between Hindus and Muslims were common in British India , such as the riots of 1917 -- 18 . Gandhi had already supported the British crown with resources and by recruiting Indian soldiers to fight the war in Europe on the British side . This effort of Gandhi was in part motivated by the British promise to reciprocate the help with swaraj ( self - government ) to Indians after the end of World War I . The British government , instead of self government , had offered minor reforms instead , disappointing Gandhi . Gandhi announced his satyagraha ( civil disobedience ) intentions . The British colonial officials made their counter move by passing the Rowlatt Act , to block Gandhi 's movement . The Act allowed the British government to treat civil disobedience participants as criminals and gave it the legal basis to arrest anyone for `` preventive indefinite detention , incarceration without judicial review or any need for a trial '' . Gandhi felt that Hindu - Muslim co-operation was necessary for political progress against the British . He leveraged the Khilafat movement , wherein Sunni Muslims in India , their leaders such as the sultans of princely states in India and Ali brothers championed the Turkish Caliph as a solidarity symbol of Sunni Islamic community ( ummah ) . They saw the Caliph as their means to support Islam and the Islamic law after the defeat of Ottoman Empire in World War I. Gandhi 's support to the Khilafat movement led to mixed results . It initially led to a strong Muslim support for Gandhi . However , the Hindu leaders including Rabindranath Tagore questioned Gandhi 's leadership because they were largely against recognising or supporting the Sunni Islamic Caliph in Turkey . The increasing Muslim support for Gandhi , after he championed the Caliph 's cause , temporarily stopped the Hindu - Muslim communal violence . It offered evidence of inter-communal harmony in joint Rowlatt satyagraha demonstration rallies , raising Gandhi 's stature as the political leader to the British . His support for the Khilafat movement also helped him sideline Muhammad Ali Jinnah , who had announced his opposition to the satyagraha non-cooperation movement approach of Gandhi . Jinnah began creating his independent support , and later went on to lead the demand for West and East Pakistan . By the end of 1922 the Khilafat movement had collapsed . Turkey 's Ataturk had ended the Caliphate , Khilafat movement ended , and Muslim support for Gandhi largely evaporated . Muslim leaders and delegates abandoned Gandhi and his Congress . Hindu - Muslim communal conflicts reignited . Deadly religious riots re-appeared in numerous cities , with 91 in United Provinces of Agra and Oudh alone . Non-co - operation Main article : Non-co - operation movement With his book Hind Swaraj ( 1909 ) Gandhi , aged 40 , declared that British rule was established in India with the co-operation of Indians and had survived only because of this co-operation . If Indians refused to co-operate , British rule would collapse and swaraj would come . Sabarmati Ashram , Gandhi 's home in Gujarat is now a museum ( photographed in 2006 ) . In February 1919 , Gandhi cautioned the Viceroy of India with a cable communication that if the British were to pass the Rowlatt Act , he will appeal Indians to start civil disobedience . The British government ignored him , passed the law stating it will not yield to threats . The satyagraha civil disobedience followed , with people assembling to protest the Rowlatt Act . On 30 March 1919 , British law officers opened fire on an assembly of unarmed people , peacefully gathered , participating in satyagraha in Delhi . People rioted in retaliation . On 6 April 1919 , a Hindu festival day , he asked a crowd to remember not to injure or kill British people , but express their frustration with peace , to boycott British goods and burn any British clothing they own . He emphasised the use of non-violence to the British and towards each other , even if the other side uses violence . Communities across India announced plans to gather in greater numbers to protest . Government warned him to not enter Delhi . Gandhi defied the order . On 9 April , Gandhi was arrested . People rioted . On 13 April 1919 , people including women with children gathered in an Amritsar park , and a British officer named Reginald Dyer surrounded them and ordered his troops to fire on them . The resulting Jallianwala Bagh massacre ( or Amritsar massacre ) of hundreds of Sikh and Hindu civilians enraged the subcontinent , but was cheered by some Britons and parts of the British media as an appropriate response . Gandhi in Ahmedabad , on the day after the massacre in Amritsar , did not criticise the British and instead criticised his fellow countrymen for not exclusively using love to deal with the hate of the British government . Gandhi demanded that people stop all violence , stop all property destruction , and went on fast - to - death to pressure Indians to stop their rioting . The massacre and Gandhi 's non-violent response to it moved many , but also made some Sikhs and Hindus upset that Dyer was getting away with murder . Investigation committees were formed by the British , which Gandhi asked Indians to boycott . The unfolding events , the massacre and the British response , led Gandhi to the belief that Indians will never get a fair equal treatment under British rulers , and he shifted his attention to Swaraj or self rule and political independence for India . In 1921 , Gandhi was the leader of the Indian National Congress . He reorganised the Congress . With Congress now behind him , and Muslim support triggered by his backing the Khilafat movement to restore the Caliph in Turkey , Gandhi had the political support and the attention of the British Raj . Gandhi spinning yarn , in the late 1920s Gandhi expanded his nonviolent non-co - operation platform to include the swadeshi policy -- the boycott of foreign - made goods , especially British goods . Linked to this was his advocacy that khadi ( homespun cloth ) be worn by all Indians instead of British - made textiles . Gandhi exhorted Indian men and women , rich or poor , to spend time each day spinning khadi in support of the independence movement . In addition to boycotting British products , Gandhi urged the people to boycott British institutions and law courts , to resign from government employment , and to forsake British titles and honours . Gandhi thus began his journey aimed at crippling the British India government economically , politically and administratively . The appeal of `` Non-cooperation '' grew , its social popularity drew participation from all strata of Indian society . Gandhi was arrested on 10 March 1922 , tried for sedition , and sentenced to six years ' imprisonment . He began his sentence on 18 March 1922 . With Gandhi isolated in prison , the Indian National Congress split into two factions , one led by Chitta Ranjan Das and Motilal Nehru favouring party participation in the legislatures , and the other led by Chakravarti Rajagopalachari and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel , opposing this move . Furthermore , co-operation among Hindus and Muslims ended as Khilafat movement collapsed with the rise of Ataturk in Turkey . Muslim leaders left the Congress and began forming Muslim organisations . The political base behind Gandhi had broken into factions . Gandhi was released in February 1924 for an appendicitis operation , having served only two years . Salt satyagraha ( salt March ) Main article : Salt Satyagraha Play media Original footage of Gandhi and his followers marching to Dandi in the Salt Satyagraha After his early release from prison for political crimes in 1924 , over the second half of the 1920s , Gandhi continued to pursue swaraj . He pushed through a resolution at the Calcutta Congress in December 1928 calling on the British government to grant India dominion status or face a new campaign of non-co - operation with complete independence for the country as its goal . After his support for the World War I with Indian combat troops , and the failure of Khilafat movement in preserving the rule of Caliph in Turkey , followed by a collapse in Muslim support for his leadership , some such as Subhas Chandra Bose and Bhagat Singh questioned his values and non-violent approach . While many Hindu leaders championed a demand for immediate independence , Gandhi revised his own call to a one - year wait , instead of two . The British did not respond favourably to Gandhi 's proposal . British political leaders such as Lord Birkenhead and Winston Churchill announced opposition to `` the appeasers of Gandhi '' , in their discussions with European diplomats who sympathised with Indian demands . On 31 December 1929 , the flag of India was unfurled in Lahore . Gandhi led Congress celebrated 26 January 1930 as India 's Independence Day in Lahore . This day was commemorated by almost every other Indian organisation . Gandhi then launched a new Satyagraha against the tax on salt in March 1930 . This was highlighted by the famous Salt March to Dandi from 12 March to 6 April , where he marched 388 kilometres ( 241 mi ) from Ahmedabad to Dandi , Gujarat to make salt himself . Thousands of Indians joined him on this march to the sea . This campaign was one of his most successful at upsetting British hold on India ; Britain responded by imprisoning over 60,000 people . Mahadev Desai ( left ) was Gandhi 's personal assistant , both at Birla House , Bombay , 7 April 1939 According to Sarma , Gandhi recruited women to participate in the salt tax campaigns and the boycott of foreign products , which gave many women a new self - confidence and dignity in the mainstream of Indian public life . However , other scholars such as Marilyn French state that Gandhi barred women from joining his civil disobedience movement because he feared he would be accused of using women as political shield . When women insisted that they join the movement and public demonstrations , according to Thapar - Bjorkert , Gandhi asked the volunteers to get permissions of their guardians and only those women who can arrange child - care should join him . Regardless of Gandhi 's apprehensions and views , Indian women joined the Salt March by the thousands to defy the British salt taxes and monopoly on salt mining . After Gandhi 's arrest , the women marched and picketed shops on their own , accepting violence and verbal abuse from British authorities for the cause in a manner Gandhi inspired . Gandhi as folk hero According to Atlury Murali , Indian Congress in the 1920s appealed to Andhra Pradesh peasants by creating Telugu language plays that combined Indian mythology and legends , linked them to Gandhi 's ideas , and portrayed Gandhi as a messiah , a reincarnation of ancient and medieval Indian nationalist leaders and saints . The plays built support among peasants steeped in traditional Hindu culture , according to Murali , and this effort made Gandhi a folk hero in Telugu speaking villages , a sacred messiah - like figure . According to Dennis Dalton , it was the ideas that were responsible for his wide following . Gandhi criticised Western civilisation as one driven by `` brute force and immorality '' , contrasting it with his categorisation of Indian civilisation as one driven by `` soul force and morality '' . Gandhi captured the imagination of the people of his heritage with his ideas about winning `` hate with love '' . These ideas are evidenced in his pamphlets from the 1890s , in South Africa , where too he was popular among the Indian indentured workers . After he returned to India , people flocked to him because he reflected their values . Indian workers on strike in support of Gandhi in 1930 . Gandhi also campaigned hard going from one rural corner of the Indian subcontinent to another . He used terminology and phrases such as Rama - rajya from Ramayana , Prahlada as a paradigmatic icon , and such cultural symbols as another facet of swaraj and satyagraha . These ideas sounded strange outside India , during his lifetime , but they readily and deeply resonated with the culture and historic values of his people . Negotiations The government , represented by Lord Irwin , decided to negotiate with Gandhi . The Gandhi -- Irwin Pact was signed in March 1931 . The British Government agreed to free all political prisoners , in return for the suspension of the civil disobedience movement . According to the pact , Gandhi was invited to attend the Round Table Conference in London for discussions and as the sole representative of the Indian National Congress . The conference was a disappointment to Gandhi and the nationalists . Gandhi expected to discuss India 's independence , while the British side focused on the Indian princes and Indian minorities rather than on a transfer of power . Lord Irwin 's successor , Lord Willingdon , took a hard line against India as an independent nation , began a new campaign of controlling and subduing the nationalist movement . Gandhi was again arrested , and the government tried and failed to negate his influence by completely isolating him from his followers . In Britain , Winston Churchill , a prominent Conservative politician who was then out of office but later became its prime minister , became a vigorous and articulate critic of Gandhi and opponent of his long - term plans . Churchill often ridiculed Gandhi , saying in a widely reported 1931 speech : It is alarming and also nauseating to see Mr Gandhi , a seditious Middle Temple lawyer , now posing as a fakir of a type well known in the East , striding half - naked up the steps of the Vice-regal palace ... to parley on equal terms with the representative of the King - Emperor . Churchill bitterness against Gandhi grew in the 1930s . He called Gandhi as the one who was `` seditious in aim '' whose evil genius and multiform menace was attacking the British empire . Churchill called him a dictator , a `` Hindu Mussolini '' , fomenting a race war , trying to replace the Raj with Brahmin cronies , playing on the ignorance of Indian masses , all for selfish gain . Churchill attempted to isolate Gandhi , and his criticism of Gandhi was widely covered by European and American press . It gained Churchill sympathetic support , but it also increased support for Gandhi among Europeans . The developments heightened Churchill 's anxiety that the `` British themselves would give up out of pacifism and misplaced conscience '' . Round Table Conferences During the discussions between Gandhi and the British government over 1931 -- 32 at the Round Table Conferences , Gandhi , now aged about 62 , sought constitutional reforms as a preparation to the end of colonial British rule , and begin the self - rule by Indians . The British side sought reforms that would keep Indian subcontinent as a colony . The British negotiators proposed constitutional reforms on a British Dominion model that established separate electorates based on religious and social divisions . The British questioned Congress party and Gandhi 's authority to speak for all of India . They invited Indian religious leaders , such as Muslims and Sikhs , to press their demands along religious lines , as well as B.R. Ambedkar as the representative leader of the untouchables . Gandhi vehemently opposed a constitution that enshrined rights or representations based on communal divisions , because he feared that it would not bring people together but divide them , perpetuate their status and divert the attention from India 's struggle to end the colonial rule . After Gandhi returned from Second Round Table conference , he started a new satyagraha . He was arrested and imprisoned at the Yerwada Jail , Pune . While he was in prison , the British government enacted a new law that granted untouchables a separate electorate . It came to be known as the Communal Award . In protest , Gandhi started fast - unto - death , while he was held in prison . The resulting public outcry forced the government , in consultations with Ambedkar , to replace the Communal Award with a compromise Poona Pact . Congress politics In 1934 Gandhi resigned from Congress party membership . He did not disagree with the party 's position but felt that if he resigned , his popularity with Indians would cease to stifle the party 's membership , which actually varied , including communists , socialists , trade unionists , students , religious conservatives , and those with pro-business convictions , and that these various voices would get a chance to make themselves heard . Gandhi also wanted to avoid being a target for Raj propaganda by leading a party that had temporarily accepted political accommodation with the Raj . Gandhi returned to active politics again in 1936 , with the Nehru presidency and the Lucknow session of the Congress . Although Gandhi wanted a total focus on the task of winning independence and not speculation about India 's future , he did not restrain the Congress from adopting socialism as its goal . Gandhi had a clash with Subhas Chandra Bose , who had been elected president in 1938 , and who had previously expressed a lack of faith in nonviolence as a means of protest . Despite Gandhi 's opposition , Bose won a second term as Congress President , against Gandhi 's nominee , Dr. Pattabhi Sitaramayya ; but left the Congress when the All - India leaders resigned en masse in protest of his abandonment of the principles introduced by Gandhi . Gandhi declared that Sitaramayya 's defeat was his defeat . World war II and Quit India movement Main article : Quit India Movement Nehru and Gandhi in 1942 Gandhi opposed providing any help to the British war effort and he campaigned against any Indian participation in the World War II . Gandhi 's campaign did not enjoy the support of Indian masses and many Indian leaders such as Sardar Patel and Rajendra Prasad . His campaign was a failure . Over 2.5 million Indians ignored Gandhi , volunteered and joined the British military to fight on various fronts of the allied forces . Gandhi opposition to the Indian participation in the World War II was motivated by his belief that India could not be party to a war ostensibly being fought for democratic freedom while that freedom was denied to India itself . He also condemned Nazism and Fascism , a view which won endorsement of other Indian leaders . As the war progressed , Gandhi intensified his demand for independence , calling for the British to Quit India in a 1942 speech in Mumbai . This was Gandhi 's and the Congress Party 's most definitive revolt aimed at securing the British exit from India . The British government responded quickly to the Quit India speech , and within hours after Gandhi 's speech arrested Gandhi and all the members of the Congress Working Committee . His countrymen retaliated the arrests by damaging or burning down hundreds of government owned railway stations , police stations , and cutting down telegraph wires . In 1942 , Gandhi now nearing age 73 , urged his people to completely stop co-operating with the imperial government . In this effort , he urged that they neither kill nor injure British people , but be willing to suffer and die if violence is initiated by the British officials . He clarified that the movement would not be stopped because of any individual acts of violence , saying that the `` ordered anarchy '' of `` the present system of administration '' was `` worse than real anarchy . '' He urged Indians to Karo ya maro ( `` Do or die '' ) in the cause of their rights and freedoms . Gandhi in 1942 , the year he launched Quit India movement Gandhi 's arrest lasted two years , as he was held in the Aga Khan Palace in Pune . During this period , his long time secretary Mahadev Desai died of a heart attack , his wife Kasturba died after 18 months ' imprisonment on 22 February 1944 ; and Gandhi suffered a severe malaria attack . While in Jail , he agreed to an interview with Stuart Gelder , a British journalist . Gelder then composed and released an interview summary , cabled it to the mainstream press , that announced sudden concessions Gandhi was willing to make , comments that shocked his countrymen , the Congress workers and even Gandhi . The latter two claimed that it distorted what Gandhi actually said on a range of topics and falsely repudiated the Quit India movement . Gandhi was released before the end of the war on 6 May 1944 because of his failing health and necessary surgery ; the Raj did not want him to die in prison and enrage the nation . He came out of detention to an altered political scene -- the Muslim League for example , which a few years earlier had appeared marginal , `` now occupied the centre of the political stage '' and the topic of Muhammad Ali Jinnah 's campaign for Pakistan was a major talking point . Gandhi and Jinnah had extensive correspondence in 1944 , where Gandhi insisted on a united religiously plural India which included Muslims and non-Muslims of the Indian subcontinent . Jinnah rejected this proposal and insisted instead for partitioning the subcontinent on religious lines to create a separate Muslim India ( later Pakistan ) . These discussions continued through 1947 . While the leaders of Congress languished in jail , the other parties supported the war and gained organizational strength . Underground publications flailed at the ruthless suppression of Congress , but it had little control over events . At the end of the war , the British gave clear indications that power would be transferred to Indian hands . At this point Gandhi called off the struggle , and around 100,000 political prisoners were released , including the Congress 's leadership . Partition and independence See also : Partition of India Gandhi with Muhammad Ali Jinnah in 1944 . Gandhi opposed partition of the Indian subcontinent along religious lines . The Indian National Congress and Gandhi called for the British to Quit India . However , the Muslim League demanded `` Divide and Quit India '' . Gandhi suggested an agreement which required the Congress and the Muslim League to co-operate and attain independence under a provisional government , thereafter , the question of partition could be resolved by a plebiscite in the districts with a Muslim majority . Jinnah rejected Gandhi 's proposal and called for Direct Action Day , on 16 August 1946 , to press Muslims to publicly gather in cities and support his proposal for partition of Indian subcontinent into a Muslim state and non-Muslim state . Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy , the Muslim League Chief Minister of Bengal -- now Bangladesh and West Bengal , gave Calcutta 's police special holiday to celebrate the Direct Action Day . The Direct Action Day triggered a mass murder of Calcutta Hindus and the torching of their property , and holidaying police were missing to contain or stop the conflict . The British government did not order its army to move in to contain the violence . The violence on Direct Action Day led to retaliatory violence against Muslims across India . Thousands of Hindus and Muslims were murdered , and tens of thousands were injured in the cycle of violence in the days that followed . Gandhi visited the most riot - prone areas to appeal a stop to the massacres . Gandhi in 1947 , with Lord Louis Mountbatten , Britain 's last Viceroy of India , and his wife Edwina Mountbatten . Archibald Wavell , the Viceroy and Governor - General of British India for three years through February 1947 , had worked with Gandhi and Jinnah to find a common ground , before and after accepting Indian independence in principle . Wavell condemned Gandhi 's character and motives as well as his ideas . Wavell accused Gandhi of harbouring the single minded idea to `` overthrow British rule and influence and to establish a Hindu raj '' , and called Gandhi a `` malignant , malevolent , exceedingly shrewd '' politician . Wavell feared a civil war on the Indian subcontinent , and doubted Gandhi would be able to stop it . The British reluctantly agreed to grant independence to the people of the Indian subcontinent , but accepted Jinnah 's proposal of partitioning the land into Pakistan and India . Gandhi was involved in the final negotiations . Stanley Wolpert states the `` plan to carve up British India was never approved of or accepted by Gandhi '' . The partition was controversial and violently disputed . More than half a million were killed in religious riots as 10 -- 12 million non-Muslims ( Hindus , Sikhs mostly ) migrated from Pakistan into India , and Muslims migrated from India into Pakistan , across the newly created borders of India , West Pakistan and East Pakistan . Gandhi spent the day of independence not celebrating the end of the British rule , but appealing for peace among his countrymen by fasting and spinning in Calcutta on 15 August 1947 . The partition had gripped the Indian subcontinent with religious violence and the streets were filled with corpses . Some writers credit Gandhi 's fasting and protests stopped the religious riots and communal violence . Others do not . Archibald Wavell , for example , upon learning of Gandhi 's assassination , commented , `` I always thought he ( Gandhi ) had more of malevolence than benevolence in him , but who am I to judge , and how can an Englishman estimate a Hindu ? '' Assassination Main article : Assassination of Mahatma Gandhi At 5 : 17 pm on 30 January 1948 , Gandhi was with his grandnieces in the garden of the former Birla House ( now Gandhi Smriti ) , on his way to address a prayer meeting , when Nathuram Godse fired three bullets from a Beretta 9 mm pistol into his chest at point - blank range . According to some accounts , Gandhi died on the spot . In other accounts , such as one prepared by an eyewitness journalist , Gandhi was carried into the Birla House , into a bedroom . There he died about 30 minutes later as one of Gandhi 's family members read verses from Hindu scriptures . Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru addressed his countrymen over the All - India Radio saying : Friends and comrades , the light has gone out of our lives , and there is darkness everywhere , and I do not quite know what to tell you or how to say it . Our beloved leader , Bapu as we called him , the father of the nation , is no more . Perhaps I am wrong to say that ; nevertheless , we will not see him again , as we have seen him for these many years , we will not run to him for advice or seek solace from him , and that is a terrible blow , not only for me , but for millions and millions in this country . Memorial where Gandhi was assassinated in 1948 . His stylised footsteps lead to the memorial . Gandhi 's assassin Godse made no attempt to escape and was seized by the witnesses . He was arrested . In the weeks that followed , his collaborators were arrested as well . Godse was a Hindu nationalist with links to the extremist Hindu Mahasabha . They were tried in court at Delhi 's Red Fort . At his trial , Godse did not deny the charges nor express any remorse . According to Claude Markovits , a French historian noted for his studies of colonial India , Godse stated that he killed Gandhi because of his complacence towards Muslims , holding Gandhi responsible for the frenzy of violence and sufferings during the subcontinent 's partition into Pakistan and India . Godse accused Gandhi of subjectivism and of acting as if only he had a monopoly of the truth . Godse was found guilty and executed in 1949 . Gandhi 's funeral was marked by millions of Indians . Gandhi 's death was mourned nationwide . Over two million people joined the five - mile long funeral procession that took over five hours to reach Raj Ghat from Birla house , where he was assassinated . Gandhi 's body was transported on a weapons carrier , whose chassis was dismantled overnight to allow a high - floor to be installed so that people could catch a glimpse of his body . The engine of the vehicle was not used ; instead four drag - ropes manned by 50 people each pulled the vehicle . All Indian - owned establishments in London remained closed in mourning as thousands of people from all faiths and denominations and Indians from all over Britain converged at India House in London . Gandhi 's assassination dramatically changed the political landscape . Nehru became his political heir . According to Markovits , while Gandhi was alive , Pakistan 's declaration that it was a `` Muslim state '' had led Indian groups to demand that it be declared a `` Hindu state '' . Nehru used Gandhi 's martyrdom as a political weapon to silence all advocates of Hindu nationalism as well as his political challengers . He linked Gandhi 's assassination to politics of hatred and ill - will . According to Guha , Nehru and his Congress colleagues called on Indians to honour Gandhi 's memory and even more his ideals . Nehru used the assassination to consolidate the authority of the new Indian state . Gandhi 's death helped marshal support for the new government and legitimise the Congress Party 's control , leveraged by the massive outpouring of Hindu expressions of grief for a man who had inspired them for decades . The government suppressed the RSS , the Muslim National Guards , and the Khaksars , with some 200,000 arrests . For years after the assassination , states Markovits , `` Gandhi 's shadow loomed large over the political life of the new Indian Republic '' . The government quelled any opposition to its economic and social policies , despite they being contrary to Gandhi 's ideas , by reconstructing Gandhi 's image and ideals . Funeral and memorials Gandhi was cremated per the Hindu tradition . Gandhi 's ashes were poured into urns which were sent across India for memorial services . Most of the ashes were immersed at the Sangam at Allahabad on 12 February 1948 , but some were secretly taken away . In 1997 , Tushar Gandhi immersed the contents of one urn , found in a bank vault and reclaimed through the courts , at the Sangam at Allahabad . Some of Gandhi 's ashes were scattered at the source of the Nile River near Jinja , Uganda , and a memorial plaque marks the event . On 30 January 2008 , the contents of another urn were immersed at Girgaum Chowpatty . Another urn is at the palace of the Aga Khan in Pune ( where Gandhi was held as a political prisoner from 1942 to 1944 ) and another in the Self - Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine in Los Angeles . The Birla House site where Gandhi was assassinated is now a memorial called Gandhi Smriti . The place near Yamuna river where he was cremated is the Rāj Ghāt memorial in New Delhi . A black marble platform , it bears the epigraph `` Hē Rāma '' ( Devanagari : हे ! राम or , Hey Raam ) . These are widely believed to be Gandhi 's last words after he was shot , though the veracity of this statement has been disputed . Principles , practices and beliefs Gandhi 's statements , letters and life have attracted much political and scholarly analysis of his principles , practices and beliefs , including what influenced him . Some writers present him as a paragon of ethical living and pacifism , others present him as a more complex , contradictory and evolving character influenced by his culture and circumstances . Influences Gandhi with poet Rabindranath Tagore , 1940 Gandhi grew up in a Hindu and Jain religious atmosphere in his native Gujarat which were his primary influences , but he was also influenced by his personal reflections and literature of Hindu Bhakti saints , Advaita Vedanta , Buddhism , Christianity and thinkers such as Tolstoy , Ruskin and Thoreau . He , at age 57 , declared himself to be Advaitist Hindu in his religious persuasion , but added that he supported Dvaitist viewpoints and religious pluralism . Gandhi was influenced by his devout Vaishnava Hindu mother , the regional Hindu temples and saint tradition which co-existed with Jain tradition in Gujarat . Historian R.B. Cribb states that Gandhi 's thought evolved over time , with his early ideas becoming the core or scaffolding for his mature philosophy . He committed himself early to truthfulness , temperance , chastity , and vegetarianism . Gandhi 's London lifestyle incorporated the values he has grown up with . When he returned to India in 1891 , his outlook was parochial and he could not make a living as a lawyer . This challenged his belief that practicality and morality necessarily coincided . By moving in 1893 to South Africa he found a solution to this problem and developed the central concepts of his mature philosophy . According to Bhikhu Parekh , three books that influenced Gandhi most in South Africa were William Salter 's Ethical Religion ( 1889 ) ; Henry David Thoreau 's On the Duty of Civil Disobedience ( 1849 ) ; and Leo Tolstoy 's The Kingdom of God Is Within You ( 1894 ) . Ruskin inspired his decision to live an austere life on a commune , at first on the Phoenix Farm in Natal and then on the Tolstoy Farm just outside Johannesburg , South Africa . The most profound influence on Gandhi were those from Hinduism , Christianity and Jainism , states Parekh , with his thoughts `` in harmony with the classical Indian traditions , specially the Advaita or monistic tradition '' . According to Indira Carr and others , Gandhi was influenced by Vaishnavism , Jainism and Advaita Vedanta . Balkrishna Gokhale states that Gandhi was influenced by Hinduism and Jainism , and his studies of Sermon on the Mount of Christianity , Ruskin and Tolstoy . Additional theories of possible influences on Gandhi have been proposed . For example , in 1935 , N.A. Toothi stated that Gandhi was influenced by the reforms and teachings of the Swaminarayan tradition of Hinduism . According to Raymond Williams , Toothi may have overlooked the influence of the Jain community , and adds close parallels do exist in programs of social reform in the Swaminarayan tradition and those of Gandhi , based on `` nonviolence , truth - telling , cleanliness , temperance and upliftment of the masses . '' Historian Howard states the culture of Gujarat influenced Gandhi and his methods . Tolstoy Mohandas K. Gandhi and other residents of Tolstoy Farm , South Africa , 1910 Along with the book mentioned above , in 1908 Leo Tolstoy wrote A Letter to a Hindu , which said that only by using love as a weapon through passive resistance could the Indian people overthrow colonial rule . In 1909 , Gandhi wrote to Tolstoy seeking advice and permission to republish A Letter to a Hindu in Gujarati . Tolstoy responded and the two continued a correspondence until Tolstoy 's death in 1910 ( Tolstoy 's last letter was to Gandhi ) . The letters concern practical and theological applications of nonviolence . Gandhi saw himself a disciple of Tolstoy , for they agreed regarding opposition to state authority and colonialism ; both hated violence and preached non-resistance . However , they differed sharply on political strategy . Gandhi called for political involvement ; he was a nationalist and was prepared to use nonviolent force . He was also willing to compromise . It was at Tolstoy Farm where Gandhi and Hermann Kallenbach systematically trained their disciples in the philosophy of nonviolence . Shrimad Rajchandra Gandhi credited Shrimad Rajchandra , a poet and Jain philosopher , as his influential counsellor . In Modern Review , June 1930 , Gandhi wrote about their first encounter in 1891 at Dr. P.J. Mehta 's residence in Bombay . Gandhi exchanged letters with Rajchandra when he was in South Africa , referring to him as Kavi ( literally , `` poet '' ) . In 1930 , Gandhi wrote , `` Such was the man who captivated my heart in religious matters as no other man ever has till now . '' ' I have said elsewhere that in moulding my inner life Tolstoy and Ruskin vied with Kavi . But Kavi 's influence was undoubtedly deeper if only because I had come in closest personal touch with him . ' Gandhi , in his autobiography , called Rajchandra his `` guide and helper '' and his `` refuge ... in moments of spiritual crisis '' . He had advised Gandhi to be patient and to study Hinduism deeply . Religious texts During his stay in South Africa , along with scriptures and philosophical texts of Hinduism and other Indian religions , Gandhi read translated texts of Christianity such as the Bible , and Islam such as the Quran . A Quaker mission in South Africa attempted to convert him to Christianity . Gandhi joined them in their prayers and debated Christian theology with them , but refused conversion stating he did not accept the theology therein or that Christ was the only son of God . His comparative studies of religions and interaction with scholars , led him to respect all religions as well as become concerned about imperfections in all of them and frequent misinterpretations . Gandhi grew fond of Hinduism , and referred to the Bhagavad Gita as his spiritual dictionary and greatest single influence on his life . On wars and nonviolence Support for wars Gandhi participated in South African war against the Boers , on the British side in 1899 . Both the Dutch settlers called Boers and the imperial British at that time discriminated against the coloured races they considered as inferior , and Gandhi later wrote about his conflicted beliefs during the Boer war . He stated that `` when the war was declared , my personal sympathies were all with the Boers , but my loyalty to the British rule drove me to participation with the British in that war '' . According to Gandhi , he felt that since he was demanding his rights as a British citizen , it was also his duty to serve the British forces in the defence of the British Empire . During World War I ( 1914 -- 1918 ) , nearing the age of 50 , Gandhi supported the British and its allied forces by recruiting Indians to join the British army , expanding the Indian contingent from about 100,000 to over 1.1 million . He encouraged his people to fight on one side of the war in Europe and Africa at the cost of their lives . Pacifists criticised and questioned Gandhi , who defended these practices by stating , according to Sankar Ghose , `` it would be madness for me to sever my connection with the society to which I belong '' . According to Keith Robbins , the recruitment effort was in part motivated by the British promise to reciprocate the help with swaraj ( self - government ) to Indians after the end of World War I. After the war , the British government offered minor reforms instead , which disappointed Gandhi . He launched his satyagraha movement in 1919 . In parallel , Gandhi 's fellowmen became sceptical of his pacifist ideas and were inspired by the ideas of nationalism and anti-imperialism . In a 1920 essay , after the World War I , Gandhi wrote , `` where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence , I would advise violence . '' Rahul Sagar interprets Gandhi 's efforts to recruit for the British military during the War , as Gandhi 's belief that , at that time , it would demonstrate that Indians were willing to fight . Further , it would also show the British that his fellow Indians were `` their subjects by choice rather than out of cowardice . '' In 1922 , Gandhi wrote that abstinence from violence is effective and true forgiveness only when one has the power to punish , not when one decides not to do anything because one is helpless . After World War II engulfed Britain , Gandhi actively campaigned to oppose any help to the British war effort and any Indian participation in the war . According to Arthur Herman , Gandhi believed that his campaign would strike a blow to imperialism . Gandhi 's position was not supported by many Indian leaders , and his campaign against the British war effort was a failure . The Hindu leader , Tej Bahadur Sapru declared in 1941 , states Herman , `` A good many Congress leaders are fed up with the barren program of the Mahatma '' . Over 2.5 million Indians ignored Gandhi , volunteered and joined on the British side . They fought and died as a part of the allied forces in Europe , North Africa and various fronts of the World War II . Truth and satyagraha `` God is truth . The way to truth lies through ahimsa ( nonviolence ) '' -- Sabarmati 13 March 1927 Plaque displaying one of Gandhi 's quote on rumour Gandhi dedicated his life to discovering and pursuing truth , or Satya , and called his movement as satyagraha , which means `` appeal to , insistence on , or reliance on the Truth '' . The first formulation of the satyagraha as a political movement and principle occurred in 1920 , which he tabled as `` Resolution on Non-cooperation '' in September that year before a session of the Indian Congress . It was the satyagraha formulation and step , states Dennis Dalton , that deeply resonated with beliefs and culture of his people , embedded him into the popular consciousness , transforming him quickly into Mahatma . Gandhi based Satyagraha on the Vedantic ideal of self - realization , ahimsa ( nonviolence ) , vegetarianism , and universal love . William Borman states that the key to his satyagraha is rooted in the Hindu Upanishadic texts . According to Indira Carr , Gandhi 's ideas on ahimsa and satyagraha were founded on the philosophical foundations of Advaita Vedanta . I. Bruce Watson states that some of these ideas are found not only in traditions within Hinduism , but also in Jainism or Buddhism , particularly those about non-violence , vegetarianism and universal love , but Gandhi 's synthesis was to politicise these ideas . Gandhi 's concept of satya as a civil movement , states Glyn Richards , are best understood in the context of the Hindu terminology of Dharma and Ṛta . Gandhi picking salt during Salt Satyagraha to defy colonial law giving salt collection monopoly to the British . His satyagraha attracted vast numbers of Indian men and women . Gandhi stated that the most important battle to fight was overcoming his own demons , fears , and insecurities . Gandhi summarised his beliefs first when he said `` God is Truth '' . He would later change this statement to `` Truth is God '' . Thus , satya ( truth ) in Gandhi 's philosophy is `` God '' . Gandhi , states Richards , described the term `` God '' not as a separate power , but as the Being ( Brahman , Atman ) of the Advaita Vedanta tradition , a nondual universal that pervades in all things , in each person and all life . According to Nicholas Gier , this to Gandhi meant the unity of God and humans , that all beings have the same one soul and therefore equality , that atman exists and is same as everything in the universe , ahimsa ( non-violence ) is the very nature of this atman . The essence of Satyagraha is `` soul force '' as a political means , refusing to use brute force against the oppressor , seeking to eliminate antagonisms between the oppressor and the oppressed , aiming to transform or `` purify '' the oppressor . It is not inaction but determined passive resistance and non-co - operation where , states Arthur Herman , `` love conquers hate '' . A euphemism sometimes used for Satyagraha is that it is a `` silent force '' or a `` soul force '' ( a term also used by Martin Luther King Jr. during his famous `` I Have a Dream '' speech ) . It arms the individual with moral power rather than physical power . Satyagraha is also termed a `` universal force '' , as it essentially `` makes no distinction between kinsmen and strangers , young and old , man and woman , friend and foe . '' Gandhi wrote : `` There must be no impatience , no barbarity , no insolence , no undue pressure . If we want to cultivate a true spirit of democracy , we can not afford to be intolerant . Intolerance betrays want of faith in one 's cause . '' Civil disobedience and non-co - operation as practised under Satyagraha are based on the `` law of suffering '' , a doctrine that the endurance of suffering is a means to an end . This end usually implies a moral upliftment or progress of an individual or society . Therefore , non-co - operation in Satyagraha is in fact a means to secure the co-operation of the opponent consistently with truth and justice . While Gandhi 's idea of satyagraha as a political means attracted a widespread following among Indians , the support was not universal . For example , Muslim leaders such as Jinnah opposed the satyagraha idea , accused Gandhi to be reviving Hinduism through political activism , and began effort to counter Gandhi with Muslim nationalism and a demand for Muslim homeland . The untouchability leader Ambedkar , in June 1945 , after his decision to convert to Buddhism and a key architect of the Constitution of modern India , dismissed Gandhi 's ideas as loved by `` blind Hindu devotees '' , primitive , influenced by spurious brew of Tolstoy and Ruskin , and `` there is always some simpleton to preach them '' . Winston Churchill caricatured Gandhi as a `` cunning huckster '' seeking selfish gain , an `` aspiring dictator '' , and an `` atavistic spokesman of a pagan Hinduism '' . Churchill stated that the civil disobedience movement spectacle of Gandhi only increased `` the danger to which white people there ( British India ) are exposed '' . Nonviolence Gandhi with textile workers at Darwen , Lancashire , 26 September 1931 . Although Gandhi was not the originator of the principle of nonviolence , he was the first to apply it in the political field on a large scale . The concept of nonviolence ( ahimsa ) has a long history in Indian religious thought , with it being considered the highest dharma ( ethical value virtue ) , a precept to be observed towards all living beings ( sarvbhuta ) , at all times ( sarvada ) , in all respects ( sarvatha ) , in action , words and thought . Gandhi explains his philosophy and ideas about ahimsa as a political means in his autobiography The Story of My Experiments with Truth . Gandhi was criticised for refusing to protest the hanging of Bhagat Singh , Sukhdev , Udham Singh and Rajguru . He was accused of accepting a deal with the King 's representative Irwin that released civil disobedience leaders from prison and accepted the death sentence against the highly popular revolutionary Bhagat Singh , who at his trial had replied , `` Revolution is the inalienable right of mankind '' . Gandhi 's views came under heavy criticism in Britain when it was under attack from Nazi Germany , and later when the Holocaust was revealed . He told the British people in 1940 , `` I would like you to lay down the arms you have as being useless for saving you or humanity . You will invite Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini to take what they want of the countries you call your possessions ... If these gentlemen choose to occupy your homes , you will vacate them . If they do not give you free passage out , you will allow yourselves , man , woman , and child , to be slaughtered , but you will refuse to owe allegiance to them . '' George Orwell remarked that Gandhi 's methods confronted ' an old - fashioned and rather shaky despotism which treated him in a fairly chivalrous way ' , not a totalitarian Power , ' where political opponents simply disappear . ' In a post-war interview in 1946 , he said , `` Hitler killed five million Jews . It is the greatest crime of our time . But the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher 's knife . They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs ... It would have aroused the world and the people of Germany ... As it is they succumbed anyway in their millions . '' Gandhi believed this act of `` collective suicide '' , in response to the Holocaust , `` would have been heroism '' . On inter-religious relations Jews According to Kumaraswamy , Gandhi initially supported Arab demands with respect to Palestine . He justified this support by invoking Islam , stating that `` non-Muslims can not acquire sovereign jurisdiction '' in Jazirat al - Arab ( Arabian Peninsula ) . These arguments , states Kumaraswamy , were a part of his political strategy to win Muslim support during the Khilafat movement . In post-Khilafat period , Gandhi neither negated Jewish demands nor did he use Islamic texts or history to support Muslim claims against Israel . Gandhi 's silence after the Khilafat period may represent an evolution in his understanding of the conflicting religious claims over Palestine , according to Kumaraswamy . In 1938 , Gandhi spoke in favour of Jewish claims . In March 1946 , he said to the Member of British Parliament Sidney Silverman , `` if the Arabs have a claim to Palestine , the Jews have a prior claim '' , a position very different from his earlier stance . Gandhi discussed the persecution of the Jews in Germany and the emigration of Jews from Europe to Palestine through his lens of Satyagraha . In 1937 , Gandhi discussed Zionism with his close Jewish friend Hermann Kallenbach . He said that Zionism was not the right answer to the problems faced by Jews and instead recommended Satyagraha . Gandhi thought the Zionists in Palestine represented European imperialism and used violence to achieve their goals ; he argued that `` the Jews should disclaim any intention of realizing their aspiration under the protection of arms and should rely wholly on the goodwill of Arabs . No exception can possibly be taken to the natural desire of the Jews to find a home in Palestine . But they must wait for its fulfillment till Arab opinion is ripe for it . '' In 1938 , Gandhi stated that his `` sympathies are all with the Jews . I have known them intimately in South Africa . Some of them became life - long companions . '' Philosopher Martin Buber was highly critical of Gandhi 's approach and in 1939 wrote an open letter to him on the subject . Gandhi reiterated his stance that `` the Jews seek to convert the Arab heart '' , and use `` satyagraha in confronting the Arabs '' in 1947 . According to Simone Panter - Brick , Gandhi 's political position on Jewish - Arab conflict evolved over the 1917 - 1947 period , shifting from a support for the Arab position first , and for the Jewish position in the 1940s . Christians Gandhi criticised as well as praised Christianity . He was critical of Christian missionary efforts in British India , because they mixed medical or education assistance with demands that the beneficiary convert to Christianity . According to Gandhi , this was not true `` service '' but one driven by ulterior motive of luring people into religious conversion and exploiting the economically or medically desperate . It did not lead to inner transformation or moral advance or to the Christian teaching of `` love '' , but was based on false one - sided criticisms of other religions , when Christian societies faced similar problems in South Africa and Europe . It led to the converted person hating his neighbours and others religions , it divided people rather than bringing them closer in compassion . According to Gandhi , `` no religious tradition could claim a monopoly over truth or salvation '' . Gandhi did not support laws to prohibit missionary activity , but demanded that Christians should first understand the message of Jesus , and then strive to live without stereotyping and misrepresenting other religions . According to Gandhi , the message of Jesus was n't to humiliate and imperialistically rule over other people considering them inferior or second class or slaves , but that `` when the hungry are fed and peace comes to our individual and collective life , then Christ is born '' . Gandhi believed that his long acquaintance with Christianity had made him like it as well as find it imperfect . He asked Christians to stop humiliating his country and his people as heathens , idolators and other abusive language , and to change their negative views of India . He believed that Christians should introspect on the `` true meaning of religion '' and get a desire to study and learn from Indian religions in the spirit of universal brotherhood . According to Eric Sharpe -- a professor of Religious Studies , though Gandhi was born in a Hindu family and later became Hindu by conviction , many Christians in time thought of him as an `` exemplary Christian and even as a saint '' . Muslims Gandhi believed there were material contradictions between Hinduism and Islam , and he shared his thoughts on Quran and on Muslims many times . He stated in 1925 , for example , that he has not criticised the teachings of the Quran , but he does criticise the interpreters of Quran . Gandhi believed that numerous interpreters have interpreted it to fit their preconceived notions . He believed Muslims should welcome criticism of Quran , because `` every true scripture only gains from criticism '' . Gandhi criticised Muslims who `` betray intolerance of criticism by a non-Muslim of anything related to Islam '' , such as the penalty of stoning to death under Islamic law . To Gandhi , Islam has `` nothing to fear from criticism even if it be unreasonable '' . According to him , Islam like communism was too quick in resorting to violence . One of the strategies Gandhi adopted was to work with Muslim leaders of pre-partition India , to oppose the British imperialism in and outside the Indian subcontinent . After the World War I , in 1919 -- 22 , he won Muslim leadership support of Ali Brothers by backing the Khilafat Movement in favour the Islamic Caliph and his historic Ottoman Caliphate , and opposing the secular Islam supporting Mustafa Kemal Atatürk . By 1924 , Ataturk had ended the Caliphate , the Khilafat Movement was over , and Muslim support for Gandhi had largely evaporated . In 1925 , Gandhi gave another reason to why he got involved in the Khilafat movement and the Middle East affairs between Britain and the Ottoman Empire . Gandhi explained to his co-religionists ( Hindu ) that he sympathised and campaigned for the Islamic cause , not because he cared for the Sultan , but because `` I wanted to enlist the Mussalman 's sympathy in the matter of cow protection '' . According to the historian M. Naeem Qureshi , like the then Indian Muslim leaders who had combined religion and politics , Gandhi too imported his religion into his political strategy during the Khilafat movement . In the 1940s , Gandhi pooled ideas with some Muslim leaders who sought religious harmony like him , and opposed the proposed partition of British India into India and Pakistan . For example , his close friend Badshah Khan suggested that they should work towards opening Hindu temples for Muslim prayers , and Islamic mosques for Hindu prayers , to bring the two religious groups closer . Gandhi accepted this and began having Muslim prayers read in Hindu temples to play his part , but was unable to get Hindu prayers read in mosques . The Hindu nationalist groups objected and began confronting Gandhi for this one - sided practice , by shouting and demonstrating inside the Hindu temples , in the last years of his life . Buddhists , Jains and Sikhs Gandhi believed that Buddhism , Jainism and Sikhism were traditions of Hinduism , with shared history , rites and ideas . At other times , he acknowledged that he knew little about Buddhism other than his reading of Edwin Arnold 's book on it . Based on that book , he considered Buddhism to be a reform movement and the Buddha to be a Hindu . He stated he knew Jainism much more , and he credited Jains to have profoundly influenced him . Sikhism , to Gandhi , was an integral part of Hinduism , in the form of another reform movement . Sikh and Buddhist leaders disagreed with Gandhi , a disagreement Gandhi respected as a difference of opinion . On life , society and other application of his ideas Vegetarianism , food , and animals Gandhi was brought up as a vegetarian by his devout Hindu mother . The idea of vegetarianism is deeply ingrained in Hindu Vaishnavism and Jain traditions in India , such as in his native Gujarat , where meat is considered as a form of food obtained by violence to animals . Gandhi 's rationale for vegetarianism was largely along those found in Hindu and Jain texts . Gandhi believed that any form of food inescapably harms some form of living organism , but one should seek to understand and reduce the violence in what one consumes because `` there is essential unity of all life '' . Gandhi believed that some life forms are more capable of suffering , and non-violence to him meant not having the intent as well as active efforts to minimise hurt , injury or suffering to all life forms . Gandhi explored food sources that reduced violence to various life forms in the food chain . He believed that slaughtering animals is unnecessary , as other sources of foods are available . He also consulted with vegetarianism campaigners during his lifetime , such as with Henry Stephens Salt . Food to Gandhi was not only a source of sustaining one 's body , but a source of his impact on other living beings , and one that affected his mind , character and spiritual well being . He avoided not only meat , but also eggs and milk . Gandhi wrote the book The Moral Basis of Vegetarianism and wrote for the London Vegetarian Society 's publication . Beyond his religious beliefs , Gandhi stated another motivation for his experiments with diet . He attempted to find the most non-violent vegetarian meal that the poorest human could afford , taking meticulous notes on vegetables and fruits , and his observations with his own body and his ashram in Gujarat . He tried fresh and dry fruits ( Fruitarianism ) , then just sun dried fruits , before resuming his prior vegetarian diet on advice of his doctor and concerns of his friends . His experiments with food began in 1890s and continued for several decades . For some of these experiments , Gandhi combined his own ideas with those found on diet in Indian yoga texts . He believed that each vegetarian should experiment with his or her diet because , in his studies at his ashram he saw `` one man 's food may be poison for another '' . Gandhi championed animal rights in general . Other than making vegetarian choices , he actively campaigned against dissection studies and experimentation on live animals ( vivisection ) in the name of science and medical studies . He considered it a violence against animals , something that inflicted pain and suffering . He wrote , `` Vivisection in my opinion is the blackest of all the blackest crimes that man is at present committing against god and his fair creation . '' Fasting See also : List of fasts undertaken by Mahatma Gandhi Gandhi 's last political protest using fasting , in January 1948 . Gandhi used fasting as a political device , often threatening suicide unless demands were met . Congress publicised the fasts as a political action that generated widespread sympathy . In response the government tried to manipulate news coverage to minimise his challenge to the Raj . He fasted in 1932 to protest the voting scheme for separate political representation for Dalits ; Gandhi did not want them segregated . The British government stopped the London press from showing photographs of his emaciated body , because it would elicit sympathy . Gandhi 's 1943 hunger strike took place during a two - year prison term for the anticolonial Quit India movement . The government called on nutritional experts to demystify his action , and again no photos were allowed . However , his final fast in 1948 , after the end of British rule in India , his hunger strike was lauded by the British press and this time did include full - length photos . Alter states that Gandhi 's fasting , vegetarianism and diet was more than a political leverage , it was a part of his experiments with self restraint and healthy living . He was `` profoundly skeptical of traditional Ayurveda '' , encouraging it to study the scientific method and adopt its progressive learning approach . Gandhi believed yoga offered health benefits . He believed that a healthy nutritional diet based on regional foods and hygiene were essential to good health . Women Gandhi strongly favoured the emancipation of women , and urged `` the women to fight for their own self - development . '' He opposed purdah , child marriage , dowry and sati . A wife is not a slave of the husband , stated Gandhi , but his comrade , better half , colleague and friend , according to Lyn Norvell . In his own life however , according to Suruchi Thapar - Bjorkert , Gandhi 's relationship with his wife were at odds with some of these values . At various occasions , Gandhi credited his orthodox Hindu mother , and his wife , for first lessons in satyagraha . He used the legends of Hindu goddess Sita to expound women 's innate strength , autonomy and `` lioness in spirit '' whose moral compass can make any demon `` as helpless as a goat '' . To Gandhi , the women of India were an important part of the `` swadeshi movement '' ( Buy Indian ) , and his goal of decolonising the Indian economy . Some historians such as Angela Woollacott and Kumari Jayawardena state that even though Gandhi often and publicly expressed his belief in the equality of sexes , yet his vision was one of gender difference and complementarity between them . Women , to Gandhi , should be educated to be better in the domestic realm and educate the next generation . His views on women 's right were less liberal and more similar to puritan - Victorian expectations of women , states Jayawardena , than other Hindu leaders with him who supported economic independence and equal gender rights in all aspects . Brahmacharya : abstinence from sex and food Along with many other texts , Gandhi studied Bhagavad Gita while in South Africa . This Hindu scripture discusses jnana yoga , bhakti yoga and karma yoga along with virtues such as non-violence , patience , integrity , lack of hypocrisy , self restraint and abstinence . Gandhi began experiments with these , and in 1906 at age 37 , although married and a father , he vowed to abstain from sexual relations . Gandhi 's experiment with abstinence went beyond sex , and extended to food . He consulted the Jain scholar Rajchandra , whom he fondly called Raychandbhai . Rajchandra advised him that milk stimulated sexual passion . Gandhi began abstaining from cow 's milk in 1912 , and did so even when doctors advised him to consume milk . According to Sankar Ghose , Tagore described Gandhi as someone who did not abhor sex or women , but considered sexual life as inconsistent with his moral goals . Gandhi tried to test and prove to himself his brahmacharya . The experiments began some time after the death of his wife in February 1944 . At the start of his experiment he had women sleep in the same room but in different beds . He later slept with women in the same bed but clothed , and finally he slept naked with women . In April 1945 , Gandhi referenced being naked with several `` women or girls '' in a letter to Birla as part of the experiments . According to the 1960s memoir of his grandniece Manu , Gandhi feared in early 1947 that he and she may be killed by Muslims in the run up to India 's independence in August 1947 , and asked her when she was 18 - year - old if she wanted to help him with his experiments to test their `` purity '' , for which she readily accepted . Gandhi slept naked in the same bed with Manu with the bedroom doors open all night . Manu stated that the experiment had no `` ill effect '' on her . Gandhi also shared his bed with 18 - year - old Abha , wife of his grandnephew Kanu . Gandhi would sleep with both Manu and Abha at the same time . None of the women who participated in the brahmachari experiments of Gandhi indicated that they had sex or that Gandhi behaved in any sexual way . Those who went public said they felt as though they were sleeping with their ageing mother . According to Sean Scalmer , Gandhi in his final year of life was an ascetic , looked ugly and a sickly skeletal figure , already caricatured in the Western media . In February 1947 , he asked his confidants such as Birla and Ramakrishna if it was wrong for him to experiment his brahmacharya oath . Gandhi 's public experiments , as they progressed , were widely discussed and criticised by his family members and leading politicians . However , Gandhi said that if he would not let Manu sleep with him , it would be a sign of weakness . Some of his staff resigned , including two of his newspaper 's editors who had refused to print some of Gandhi 's sermons dealing with his experiments . Nirmalkumar Bose , Gandhi 's Bengali interpreter , for example criticised Gandhi , not because Gandhi did anything wrong , but because Bose was concerned about the psychological effect on the women who participated in his experiments . Veena Howard states Gandhi 's views on brahmacharya and religious renunciation experiments were a method to confront women issues in his times . Untouchability and castes Gandhi spoke out against untouchability early in his life . Before 1932 , he and his colleagues used the term Antyaja for untouchables . One of the major speeches he made on untouchability was at Nagpur in 1920 , where he called untouchability as a great evil in Hindu society . In his remarks , he stated that the phenomena of untouchability is not unique to the Hindu society , but has deeper roots because Europeans in South Africa treat `` all of us , Hindus and Muslims , as untouchables ; we may not reside in their midst , nor enjoy the rights which they do '' . He called it intolerable . He stated this practice can be eradicated , Hinduism is flexible to allow this , and a concerted effort is needed to persuade it is wrong and by all to eradicate it . According to Christophe Jaffrelot , while Gandhi considered untouchability to be wrong and evil , he believed that caste or class are based neither on inequality nor on inferiority . Gandhi believed that individuals should freely intermarry whoever they want to , but no one should expect everyone to befriend them . Every individual regardless of his or her background , stated Gandhi , has a right to choose who they welcome into their home , who they befriend and who they spend time with . In 1932 , Gandhi began a new campaign to improve the lives of the untouchables , whom he started referring to as Harijans or `` the children of god '' . On 8 May 1933 , Gandhi began a 21 - day fast of self - purification and launched a one - year campaign to help the Harijan movement . This new campaign was not universally embraced within the Dalit community . Ambedkar and his allies felt Gandhi was being paternalistic and was undermining Dalit political rights . Ambedkar described him as `` devious and untrustworthy '' . He accused Gandhi as someone who wished to retain the caste system . Ambedkar and Gandhi debated their ideas and concerns , where both tried to persuade each other . In 1935 , Ambedkar announced his intentions to leave Hinduism and join Buddhism . According to Sankar Ghose , the announcement shook Gandhi , who reappraised his views and wrote many essays with his views on castes , inter-marriage and what Hinduism says on the subject . These views contrasted with those of Ambedkar . In actual elections of 1937 , except for some seats in Mumbai where Ambekar 's party won , India 's untouchables voted heavily in favour of Gandhi 's campaign and his party , the Congress . Gandhi and his colleagues continued to consult Ambedkar , keeping him influential . Ambedkar worked with other Congress leaders through the 1940s , wrote large parts of India 's constitution in late 1940s , and converted to Buddhism in 1956 . According to Jaffrelot , Gandhi 's views evolved between 1920s and 1940s , when in 1946 he actively encouraged inter-marriage across castes . However , Gandhi 's approach to untouchability was different than Ambedkar because Gandhi championed fusion , choice and free intermixing . Ambedkar , in contrast states Jeffrelot , envisioned each segment of society to maintain their identity group , and each group then separately advanced the `` politics of equality '' . The criticism of Gandhi by Ambedkar continued to influence the Dalit movement past Gandhi 's death . According to Arthur Herman , Ambedkar 's hate for Gandhi and Gandhi 's ideas was so strong that after he heard the news of Gandhi 's assassination , remarked after a momentary silence a sense of regret and then `` my real enemy is gone ; thank goodness the eclipse is over now '' . According to Ramachandra Guha , `` ideologues have carried these old rivalries into the present , with the demonization of Gandhi now common among politicians who presume to speak in Ambedkar 's name . '' Nai Talim , basic education Main article : Nai Talim Gandhi rejected the colonial Western format of education system . He stated that it led to disdain for manual work , generally created an elite administrative bureaucracy . Gandhi favoured an education system with far greater emphasis on learning skills in practical and useful work , one that included physical , mental and spiritual studies . His methodology sought to treat all professions equal and pay everyone the same . Gandhi called his ideas Nai Talim ( literally , ' new education ' ) . He believed that the Western style education violated and destroyed the indigenous cultures . A different basic education model , he believed , would lead to better self awareness , prepare people to treat all work equally respectable and valued , and lead to a society with less social diseases . Nai Talim evolved out of his experiences at the Tolstoy Farm in South Africa , and Gandhi attempted to formulate the new system at the Sevagram ashram after 1937 . Nehru government 's vision of an industrialised , centrally planned economy after 1947 had scant place for Gandhi 's village - oriented approach . In his autobiography , Gandhi wrote that he believed every Hindu boy and girl must learn Sanskrit because its historic and spiritual texts are in that language . Swaraj , self - rule Main article : Swaraj Gandhi believed that swaraj not only can be attained with non-violence , it can be run with non-violence . Military is unnecessary , because any aggressor can be thrown out using the method of non-violent non-co - operation . While military is unnecessary in a nation organised under swaraj principle , Gandhi added that a police force is necessary given human nature . However , the state would limit the use of weapons by the police to the minimum , aiming for their use as a restraining force . According to Gandhi , a non-violent state is like an `` ordered anarchy '' . In a society of mostly non-violent individuals , those who are violent will sooner or later accept discipline or leave the community , stated Gandhi . He emphasised a society where individuals believed more in learning about their duties and responsibilities , not demanded rights and privileges . On returning from South Africa , when Gandhi received a letter asking for his participation in writing a world charter for human rights , he responded saying , `` in my experience , it is far more important to have a charter for human duties . '' Swaraj to Gandhi did not mean transferring colonial era British power brokering system , favours - driven , bureaucratic , class exploitative structure and mindset into Indian hands . He warned such a transfer would still be English rule , just without the Englishman . `` This is not the Swaraj I want '' , said Gandhi . Tewari states that Gandhi saw democracy as more than a system of government ; it meant promoting both individuality and the self - discipline of the community . Democracy meant settling disputes in a nonviolent manner ; it required freedom of thought and expression . For Gandhi , democracy was a way of life . Hindu nationalism and revivalism Some scholars state Gandhi supported a religiously diverse India , while others state that the Muslim leaders who championed the partition and creation of a separate Muslim Pakistan considered Gandhi to be Hindu nationalist or revivalist . For example , in his letters to Mohammad Iqbal , Jinnah accused Gandhi to be favouring a Hindu rule and revivalism , that Gandhi led Indian National Congress was a fascist party . In an interview with C.F. Andrews , Gandhi stated that if we believe all religions teach the same message of love and peace between all human beings , then there is neither any rationale nor need for proselytisation or attempts to convert people from one religion to another . Gandhi opposed missionary organisations who criticised Indian religions then attempted to convert followers of Indian religions to Islam or Christianity . In Gandhi 's view , those who attempt to convert a Hindu , `` they must harbour in their breasts the belief that Hinduism is an error '' and that their own religion is `` the only true religion '' . Gandhi believed that people who demand religious respect and rights must also show the same respect and grant the same rights to followers of other religions . He stated that spiritual studies must encourage `` a Hindu to become a better Hindu , a Mussalman to become a better Mussalman , and a Christian a better Christian . '' According to Gandhi , religion is not about what a man believes , it is about how a man lives , how he relates to other people , his conduct towards others , and one 's relationship to one 's conception of god . It is not important to convert or to join any religion , but it is important to improve one 's way of life and conduct by absorbing ideas from any source and any religion , believed Gandhi . Gandhian economics Main article : Gandhian economics Gandhi believed in sarvodaya economic model , which literally means `` welfare , upliftment of all '' . This , states Bhatt , was very different economic model than the socialism model championed and followed by free India by Nehru -- India 's first prime minister . To both , according to Bhatt , removing poverty and unemployment were the objective , but Gandhian economic and development approach preferred adapting technology and infrastructure to suit local situation , in contrast to Nehru 's large scale , socialised state owned enterprises . To Gandhi , the economic philosophy that aims at `` greatest good for the greatest number '' was fundamentally flawed , and his alternative proposal sarvodaya set its aim at `` greatest good for all '' . He believed that the best economic system not only cared to lift the `` poor , less skilled , of impoverished background '' but also empowered to lift the `` rich , highly skilled , of capital means and landlords '' . Violence against any human being , born poor or rich , is wrong believed Gandhi . He stated that mandate theory of majoritarian democracy should n't be pushed to absurd extremes , individual freedoms should never be denied , and no person should ever be made a social or economic slave to the `` resolutions of majorities '' . Gandhi challenged Nehru and the modernizers in the late 1930s who called for rapid industrialisation on the Soviet model ; Gandhi denounced that as dehumanising and contrary to the needs of the villages where the great majority of the people lived . After Gandhi 's assassination , Nehru led India in accordance with his personal socialist convictions . Historian Kuruvilla Pandikattu says `` it was Nehru 's vision , not Gandhi 's , that was eventually preferred by the Indian State . '' Gandhi called for ending poverty through improved agriculture and small - scale cottage rural industries . Gandhi 's economic thinking disagreed with Marx , according to the political theory scholar and economist Bhikhu Parekh . Gandhi refused to endorse the view that economic forces are best understood as `` antagonistic class interests '' . He argued that no man can degrade or brutalise the other without degrading and brutalising himself , that sustainable economic growth comes from service , not from exploitation . Further , believed Gandhi , that in a free nation , victims exist only when they co-operate with their oppressor , and an economic and political system that offered increasing alternatives gave power of choice to the poorest man . While disagreeing with Nehru about socialist economic model , Gandhi also critiqued capitalism that was driven by endless wants and a materialistic view of man . This , he believed , created a vicious vested system of materialism at the cost of other human needs such as spirituality and social relationships . To Gandhi , states Parekh , both communism and capitalism were wrong , in part because both focussed exclusively on materialistic view of man , and because the former deified the state with unlimited power of violence , while the latter deified capital . A better economic system is one which does not impoverish one 's culture and spiritual pursuits . Gandhism Main article : Gandhism Gandhism designates the ideas and principles Gandhi promoted . Of central importance is nonviolent resistance . A Gandhian can mean either an individual who follows , or a specific philosophy which is attributed to , Gandhism . M.M. Sankhdher argues that Gandhism is not a systematic position in metaphysics or in political philosophy . Rather , it is a political creed , an economic doctrine , a religious outlook , a moral precept , and especially , a humanitarian world view . It is an effort not to systematise wisdom but to transform society and is based on an undying faith in the goodness of human nature . However Gandhi himself did not approve of the notion of `` Gandhism '' , as he explained in 1936 : There is no such thing as `` Gandhism '' , and I do not want to leave any sect after me . I do not claim to have originated any new principle or doctrine . I have simply tried in my own way to apply the eternal truths to our daily life and problems ... The opinions I have formed and the conclusions I have arrived at are not final . I may change them tomorrow . I have nothing new to teach the world . Truth and nonviolence are as old as the hills . Literary Works Young India , a weekly journal published by Gandhi from 1919 to 1932 Gandhi was a prolific writer . One of Gandhi 's earliest publications , Hind Swaraj , published in Gujarati in 1909 , became `` the intellectual blueprint '' for India 's independence movement . The book was translated into English the next year , with a copyright legend that read `` No Rights Reserved '' . For decades he edited several newspapers including Harijan in Gujarati , in Hindi and in the English language ; Indian Opinion while in South Africa and , Young India , in English , and Navajivan , a Gujarati monthly , on his return to India . Later , Navajivan was also published in Hindi . In addition , he wrote letters almost every day to individuals and newspapers . Gandhi also wrote several books including his autobiography , The Story of My Experiments with Truth ( Gujarātī `` સત્યના પ્રયોગો અથવા આત્મકથા '' ) , of which he bought the entire first edition to make sure it was reprinted . His other autobiographies included : Satyagraha in South Africa about his struggle there , Hind Swaraj or Indian Home Rule , a political pamphlet , and a paraphrase in Gujarati of John Ruskin 's Unto This Last . This last essay can be considered his programme on economics . He also wrote extensively on vegetarianism , diet and health , religion , social reforms , etc . Gandhi usually wrote in Gujarati , though he also revised the Hindi and English translations of his books . Gandhi 's complete works were published by the Indian government under the name The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi in the 1960s . The writings comprise about 50,000 pages published in about a hundred volumes . In 2000 , a revised edition of the complete works sparked a controversy , as it contained a large number of errors and omissions . The Indian government later withdrew the revised edition . Legacy and depictions in popular culture See also : List of artistic depictions of Mahatma Gandhi and List of roads named after Mahatma Gandhi The word Mahatma , while often mistaken for Gandhi 's given name in the West , is taken from the Sanskrit words maha ( meaning Great ) and atma ( meaning Soul ) . Rabindranath Tagore is said to have accorded the title to Gandhi . In his autobiography , Gandhi nevertheless explains that he never valued the title , and was often pained by it . Innumerable streets , roads and localities in India are named after M.K. Gandhi . These include M.G. Road ( the main street of a number of Indian cities including Mumbai and Bangalore ) , Gandhi Market ( near Sion , Mumbai ) and Gandhinagar ( the capital of the state of Gujarat , Gandhi 's birthplace ) . Followers and International influence Statue of Mahatma Gandhi at York University . Mahatma Gandhi on a 1969 postage stamp of the Soviet Union Mahatma Gandhi at Praça Túlio Fontoura , São Paulo , Brazil . Statue by Gautam Pal Gandhi influenced important leaders and political movements . Leaders of the civil rights movement in the United States , including Martin Luther King Jr. , James Lawson , and James Bevel , drew from the writings of Gandhi in the development of their own theories about nonviolence . King said `` Christ gave us the goals and Mahatma Gandhi the tactics . '' King sometimes referred to Gandhi as `` the little brown saint . '' Anti-apartheid activist and former President of South Africa , Nelson Mandela , was inspired by Gandhi . Others include Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan , Steve Biko , and Aung San Suu Kyi . In his early years , the former President of South Africa Nelson Mandela was a follower of the nonviolent resistance philosophy of Gandhi . Bhana and Vahed commented on these events as `` Gandhi inspired succeeding generations of South African activists seeking to end White rule . This legacy connects him to Nelson Mandela ... in a sense Mandela completed what Gandhi started . '' Gandhi 's life and teachings inspired many who specifically referred to Gandhi as their mentor or who dedicated their lives to spreading Gandhi 's ideas . In Europe , Romain Rolland was the first to discuss Gandhi in his 1924 book Mahatma Gandhi , and Brazilian anarchist and feminist Maria Lacerda de Moura wrote about Gandhi in her work on pacifism . In 1931 , notable European physicist Albert Einstein exchanged written letters with Gandhi , and called him `` a role model for the generations to come '' in a letter writing about him . Einstein said of Gandhi : Mahatma Gandhi 's life achievement stands unique in political history . He has invented a completely new and humane means for the liberation war of an oppressed country , and practised it with greatest energy and devotion . The moral influence he had on the consciously thinking human being of the entire civilised world will probably be much more lasting than it seems in our time with its overestimation of brutal violent forces . Because lasting will only be the work of such statesmen who wake up and strengthen the moral power of their people through their example and educational works . We may all be happy and grateful that destiny gifted us with such an enlightened contemporary , a role model for the generations to come . Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood . Lanza del Vasto went to India in 1936 intending to live with Gandhi ; he later returned to Europe to spread Gandhi 's philosophy and founded the Community of the Ark in 1948 ( modelled after Gandhi 's ashrams ) . Madeleine Slade ( known as `` Mirabehn '' ) was the daughter of a British admiral who spent much of her adult life in India as a devotee of Gandhi . In addition , the British musician John Lennon referred to Gandhi when discussing his views on nonviolence . At the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival in 2007 , former US Vice-President and environmentalist Al Gore spoke of Gandhi 's influence on him . US President Barack Obama in a 2010 address to the Parliament of India said that : I am mindful that I might not be standing before you today , as President of the United States , had it not been for Gandhi and the message he shared with America and the world . Obama in September 2009 said that his biggest inspiration came from Gandhi . His reply was in response to the question ' Who was the one person , dead or live , that you would choose to dine with ? ' . He continued that `` He 's somebody I find a lot of inspiration in . He inspired Dr. King with his message of nonviolence . He ended up doing so much and changed the world just by the power of his ethics . '' Time Magazine named The 14th Dalai Lama , Lech Wałęsa , Martin Luther King , Cesar Chavez , Aung San Suu Kyi , Benigno Aquino , Jr. , Desmond Tutu , and Nelson Mandela as Children of Gandhi and his spiritual heirs to nonviolence . The Mahatma Gandhi District in Houston , Texas , United States , an ethnic Indian enclave , is officially named after Gandhi . Global days that celebrate Gandhi In 2007 , the United Nations General Assembly declared Gandhi 's birthday 2 October as `` the International Day of Nonviolence . '' First proposed by UNESCO in 1948 , as the School Day of Nonviolence and Peace ( DENIP in Spanish ) , 30 January is observed as the School Day of Nonviolence and Peace in schools of many countries In countries with a Southern Hemisphere school calendar , it is observed on 30 March . Monument to M.K. Gandhi in Madrid , Spain . Awards Time magazine named Gandhi the Man of the Year in 1930 . Gandhi was also the runner - up to Albert Einstein as `` Person of the Century '' at the end of 1999 . The Government of India awarded the annual Gandhi Peace Prize to distinguished social workers , world leaders and citizens . Nelson Mandela , the leader of South Africa 's struggle to eradicate racial discrimination and segregation , was a prominent non-Indian recipient . In 2011 , Time magazine named Gandhi as one of the top 25 political icons of all time . Gandhi did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize , although he was nominated five times between 1937 and 1948 , including the first - ever nomination by the American Friends Service Committee , though he made the short list only twice , in 1937 and 1947 . Decades later , the Nobel Committee publicly declared its regret for the omission , and admitted to deeply divided nationalistic opinion denying the award . Gandhi was nominated in 1948 but was assassinated before nominations closed . That year , the committee chose not to award the peace prize stating that `` there was no suitable living candidate '' and later research shows that the possibility of awarding the prize posthumously to Gandhi was discussed and that the reference to no suitable living candidate was to Gandhi . Geir Lundestad , Secretary of Norwegian Nobel Committee in 2006 said , `` The greatest omission in our 106 - year history is undoubtedly that Mahatma Gandhi never received the Nobel Peace prize . Gandhi could do without the Nobel Peace prize , whether Nobel committee can do without Gandhi is the question '' . When the 14th Dalai Lama was awarded the Prize in 1989 , the chairman of the committee said that this was `` in part a tribute to the memory of Mahatma Gandhi '' . Father of the nation Indians widely describe Gandhi as the father of the nation . Origin of this title is traced back to a radio address ( on Singapore radio ) on 6 July 1944 by Subhash Chandra Bose where Bose addressed Gandhi as `` The Father of the Nation '' . On 28 April 1947 , Sarojini Naidu during a conference also referred Gandhi as `` Father of the Nation '' . Film , theatre and literature A 5 hours , 9 minutes long biographical documentary film , Mahatma : Life of Gandhi , 1869 -- 1948 , made by Vithalbhai Jhaveri in 1968 , quoting Gandhi 's words and using black & white archival footage and photographs , captures the history of those times . Ben Kingsley portrayed him in Richard Attenborough 's 1982 film Gandhi , which won the Academy Award for Best Picture . The 1996 film The Making of the Mahatma documented Gandhi 's time in South Africa and his transformation from an inexperienced barrister to recognised political leader . Gandhi was a central figure in the 2006 Bollywood comedy film Lage Raho Munna Bhai . Jahnu Barua 's Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara ( I did not kill Gandhi ) , places contemporary society as a backdrop with its vanishing memory of Gandhi 's values as a metaphor for the senile forgetfulness of the protagonist of his 2005 film , writes Vinay Lal . The 1979 opera Satyagraha by American composer Philip Glass is loosely based on Gandhi 's life . The opera 's libretto , taken from the Bhagavad Gita , is sung in the original Sanskrit . Anti-Gandhi themes have also been showcased through films and plays . The 1995 Marathi play Gandhi Virudh Gandhi explored the relationship between Gandhi and his son Harilal . The 2007 film , Gandhi , My Father was inspired on the same theme . The 1989 Marathi play Me Nathuram Godse Boltoy and the 1997 Hindi play Gandhi Ambedkar criticised Gandhi and his principles . Several biographers have undertaken the task of describing Gandhi 's life . Among them are D.G. Tendulkar with his Mahatma . Life of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi in eight volumes , Chaman Nahal 's Gandhi Quartet , and Pyarelal and Sushila Nayyar with their Mahatma Gandhi in 10 volumes . The 2010 biography , Great Soul : Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle With India by Joseph Lelyveld contained controversial material speculating about Gandhi 's sexual life . Lelyveld , however , stated that the press coverage `` grossly distort ( s ) '' the overall message of the book . The 2014 film Welcome Back Gandhi takes a fictionalised look at how Gandhi might react to modern day India . `` Mahatma Gandhi '' is used by Cole Porter in his lyrics for the song You 're the Top which is included in the 1934 musical Anything Goes . In the song Porter rhymes `` Mahatma Gandhi ' with `` Napoleon Brandy . '' Current impact within India The Gandhi Mandapam , a temple in Kanyakumari , Tamil Nadu in India . This temple was erected to honour M.K. Gandhi . India , with its rapid economic modernisation and urbanisation , has rejected Gandhi 's economics but accepted much of his politics and continues to revere his memory . Reporter Jim Yardley notes that , `` modern India is hardly a Gandhian nation , if it ever was one . His vision of a village - dominated economy was shunted aside during his lifetime as rural romanticism , and his call for a national ethos of personal austerity and nonviolence has proved antithetical to the goals of an aspiring economic and military power . '' By contrast Gandhi is `` given full credit for India 's political identity as a tolerant , secular democracy . '' Gandhi 's birthday , 2 October , is a national holiday in India , Gandhi Jayanti . Gandhi 's image also appears on paper currency of all denominations issued by Reserve Bank of India , except for the one rupee note . Gandhi 's date of death , 30 January , is commemorated as a Martyrs ' Day in India . There are three temples in India dedicated to Gandhi . One is located at Sambalpur in Orissa and the second at Nidaghatta village near Kadur in Chikmagalur district of Karnataka and the third one at Chityal in the district of Nalgonda , Telangana . The Gandhi Memorial in Kanyakumari resembles central Indian Hindu temples and the Tamukkam or Summer Palace in Madurai now houses the Mahatma Gandhi Museum .

Employing nonviolent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahātmā (Sanskrit: \"high-souled\", \"venerable\")[4]—applied to him first in 1914 in South Africa[5]—is now used worldwide. In India, he is also called Bapu (Gujarati: endearment for father,[6] papa[6][7]) and Gandhi ji. He is unofficially called the Father of the Nation.[8][9]" ]

Nobel Peace Prize
Nobel Peace Prize - wikipedia Nobel Peace Prize One of five Nobel Prizes established by Alfred Nobel Nobel Peace Prize Awarded for Outstanding contributions in peace Location Oslo , Norway Presented by Norwegian Nobel Committee on behalf of the estate of Alfred Nobel Reward ( s ) 9 million SEK ( 2017 ) First awarded 10 December 1901 ; 116 years ago ( 1901 - 12 - 10 ) Currently held by Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad ( 2018 ) Most awards International Committee of the Red Cross ( 3 ) Website Nobelprize.org The Nobel Peace Prize ( Swedish , Norwegian : Nobels fredspris ) is one of the five Nobel Prizes established by the will of Swedish industrialist , inventor , and armaments manufacturer Alfred Nobel , along with the prizes in Chemistry , Physics , Physiology or Medicine , and Literature . Since March 1901 , it has been awarded annually ( with some exceptions ) to those who have `` done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations , for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses '' . As per Alfred Nobel 's will , the recipient is selected by the Norwegian Nobel Committee , a five - member committee appointed by the Parliament of Norway . Since 1990 , the prize is awarded on 10 December in Oslo City Hall each year . The prize was formerly awarded in the Atrium of the University of Oslo Faculty of Law ( 1947 -- 1989 ) , the Norwegian Nobel Institute ( 1905 -- 1946 ) , and the Parliament ( 1901 -- 1904 ) . Due to its political nature , the Nobel Peace Prize has , for most of its history , been the subject of controversies . Contents 1 Background 2 Nomination and selection 2.1 Nomination 2.2 Selection 3 Awarding the prize 4 Criticism 4.1 Criticism of individual conferments 4.2 Notable omissions 5 List of Nobel Peace Prize laureates 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Background ( edit ) Alfred Nobel According to Nobel 's will , the Peace Prize shall be awarded to the person who in the preceding year `` shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations , for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses '' . Alfred Nobel 's will further specified that the prize be awarded by a committee of five people chosen by the Norwegian Parliament . Nobel died in 1896 and he did not leave an explanation for choosing peace as a prize category . As he was a trained chemical engineer , the categories for chemistry and physics were obvious choices . The reasoning behind the peace prize is less clear . According to the Norwegian Nobel Committee , his friendship with Bertha von Suttner , a peace activist and later recipient of the prize , profoundly influenced his decision to include peace as a category . Some Nobel scholars suggest it was Nobel 's way to compensate for developing destructive forces . His inventions included dynamite and ballistite , both of which were used violently during his lifetime . Ballistite was used in war and the Irish Republican Brotherhood , an Irish nationalist organization , carried out dynamite attacks in the 1880s . Nobel was also instrumental in turning Bofors from an iron and steel producer into an armaments company . It is unclear why Nobel wished the Peace Prize to be administered in Norway , which was ruled in union with Sweden at the time of Nobel 's death . The Norwegian Nobel Committee speculates that Nobel may have considered Norway better suited to awarding the prize , as it did not have the same militaristic traditions as Sweden . It also notes that at the end of the 19th century , the Norwegian parliament had become closely involved in the Inter-Parliamentary Union 's efforts to resolve conflicts through mediation and arbitration . Nomination and selection ( edit ) The Norwegian Nobel Institute in Oslo , Norway The Norwegian Parliament appoints the Norwegian Nobel Committee , which selects the Nobel Peace Prize laureate . Nomination ( edit ) Each year , the Norwegian Nobel Committee specifically invites qualified people to submit nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize . The statutes of the Nobel Foundation specify categories of individuals who are eligible to make nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize . These nominators are : Members of national assemblies and governments and members of the Inter-Parliamentary Union Members of the Permanent Court of Arbitration and the International Court of Justice at the Hague Members of Institut de Droit International University professors of history , social sciences , philosophy , law , and theology , university presidents , and directors of peace research and international affairs institutes Former recipients , including board members of organizations that have previously received the prize Present and past members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee Former permanent advisers to the Norwegian Nobel Institute The 14th Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu , Nobel Peace Prize laureates Nominations must usually be submitted to the Committee by the beginning of February in the award year . Nominations by committee members can be submitted up to the date of the first Committee meeting after this deadline . In 2009 , a record 205 nominations were received , but the record was broken again in 2010 with 237 nominations ; in 2011 , the record was broken once again with 241 nominations . The statutes of the Nobel Foundation do not allow information about nominations , considerations , or investigations relating to awarding the prize to be made public for at least 50 years after a prize has been awarded . Over time , many individuals have become known as `` Nobel Peace Prize Nominees '' , but this designation has no official standing , and means only that one of the thousands of eligible nominators suggested the person 's name for consideration . Indeed , in 1939 , Adolf Hitler received a satirical nomination from a member of the Swedish parliament , mocking the ( serious but unsuccessful ) nomination of Neville Chamberlain . Nominations from 1901 to 1956 , however , have been released in a database . Selection ( edit ) Nominations are considered by the Nobel Committee at a meeting where a short list of candidates for further review is created . This short list is then considered by permanent advisers to the Nobel institute , which consists of the Institute 's Director and the Research Director and a small number of Norwegian academics with expertise in subject areas relating to the prize . Advisers usually have some months to complete reports , which are then considered by the Committee to select the laureate . The Committee seeks to achieve a unanimous decision , but this is not always possible . The Nobel Committee typically comes to a conclusion in mid-September , but occasionally the final decision has not been made until the last meeting before the official announcement at the beginning of October . Awarding the Prize ( edit ) Obverse of the Nobel Peace Prize Medal presented to Sir Ralph Norman Angell in 1933 ; the Imperial War Museum , London The Chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee presents the Nobel Peace Prize in the presence of the King of Norway on 10 December each year ( the anniversary of Nobel 's death ) . The Peace Prize is the only Nobel Prize not presented in Stockholm . The Nobel laureate receives a diploma , a medal , and a document confirming the prize amount . As of 2013 , the prize was worth 10 million SEK ( about US $1.5 million ) . Since 1990 , the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony is held at Oslo City Hall . From 1947 to 1989 , the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony was held in the Atrium of the University of Oslo Faculty of Law , a few hundred metres from Oslo City Hall . Between 1905 and 1946 , the ceremony took place at the Norwegian Nobel Institute . From 1901 to 1904 , the ceremony took place in the Storting ( Parliament ) . Criticism ( edit ) It has been expressed that the Peace Prize has been awarded in politically motivated ways for more recent or immediate achievements , or with the intention of encouraging future achievements . Some commentators have suggested that to award a peace prize on the basis of unquantifiable contemporary opinion is unjust or possibly erroneous , especially as many of the judges can not themselves be said to be impartial observers . In 2011 , a feature story in the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten contended that major criticisms of the award were that the Norwegian Nobel Committee ought to recruit members from professional and international backgrounds , rather than retired members of parliament ; that there is too little openness about the criteria that the committee uses when they choose a recipient of the prize ; and that the adherence to Nobel 's will should be more strict . In the article , Norwegian historian Øivind Stenersen argues that Norway has been able to use the prize as an instrument for nation building and furthering Norway 's foreign policy and economic interests . In another 2011 Aftenposten opinion article , the grandson of one of Nobel 's two brothers , Michael Nobel , also criticised what he believed to be the politicisation of the award , claiming that the Nobel Committee has not always acted in accordance with Nobel 's will . Norwegian lawyer Fredrik S. Heffermehl has criticized the management of the Peace Prize . Criticism of individual conferments ( edit ) Main article : Nobel Prize controversies Barack Obama with Thorbjørn Jagland at the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony From left - to - right , Yasser Arafat , Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin receiving the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize following the Oslo Accords Nobel Peace Prize 2001 United Nations - diploma in the lobby of the United Nations Headquarters in New York City The awards given to Mikhail Gorbachev , Yitzhak Rabin , Shimon Peres , Menachem Begin and Yasser Arafat , Lê Đức Thọ , Henry Kissinger , Jimmy Carter , Al Gore , the IPCC , Liu Xiaobo , Aung San Suu Kyi Barack Obama , and the European Union have all been the subject of controversy . The awards given to Lê Đức Thọ and Henry Kissinger prompted two dissenting Committee members to resign . Thọ refused to accept the prize , on the grounds that such `` bourgeois sentimentalities '' were not for him and that peace had not actually been achieved in Vietnam . Kissinger donated his prize money to charity , did not attend the award ceremony and would later offer to return his prize medal after the fall of South Vietnam to North Vietnamese forces 18 months later . Notable Omissions ( edit ) Foreign Policy has listed Mahatma Gandhi , Eleanor Roosevelt , U Thant , Václav Havel , Ken Saro - Wiwa , Fazle Hasan Abed and Corazon Aquino as people who `` never won the prize , but should have '' . Many believe that the prize should have gone to Pope John Paul II , Hélder Câmara , , Zilda Arns and Dorothy Day . Both Eleanor Roosevelt and Dorothy Day were recipients of the Gandhi Peace Award . The omission of Mahatma Gandhi has been particularly widely discussed , including in public statements by various members of the Nobel Committee . The Committee has confirmed that Gandhi was nominated in 1937 , 1938 , 1939 , 1947 , and , finally , a few days before his assassination in January 1948 . The omission has been publicly regretted by later members of the Nobel Committee . Geir Lundestad , Secretary of Norwegian Nobel Committee in 2006 said , `` The greatest omission in our 106 - year history is undoubtedly that Mahatma Gandhi never received the Nobel Peace prize . Gandhi could do without the Nobel Peace prize , whether Nobel committee can do without Gandhi is the question '' . In 1948 , following Gandhi 's death , the Nobel Committee declined to award a prize on the ground that `` there was no suitable living candidate '' that year . Later , when the Dalai Lama was awarded the Peace Prize in 1989 , the chairman of the committee said that this was `` in part a tribute to the memory of Mahatma Gandhi '' . List of Nobel Peace Prize Laureates ( edit ) Main article : List of Nobel Peace Prize laureates As of 2016 , the Peace Prize has been awarded to 104 individuals and 23 organizations . Sixteen women have won the Nobel Peace Prize , more than any other Nobel Prize . Only two recipients have won multiple Prizes : the International Committee of the Red Cross has won three times ( 1917 , 1944 , and 1963 ) and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has won twice ( 1954 and 1981 ) . Lê Đức Thọ is the only person who refused to accept the Nobel Peace Prize .

With the signing of the Treaty of Paris on December 10 , 1898 , Spain ceded the Philippines to the United States . The interim U.S. military government of the Philippine Islands experienced a period of great political turbulence , characterised by the Philippine -- American War . Beginning in 1901 , the military government was replaced by a civilian government -- the Insular Government of the Philippine Islands -- with William Howard Taft serving as its first Governor - General . From 1901 to 1906 there also existed a series of revolutionary governments that lacked significant international diplomatic recognition . Following the passage of the Philippine Independence Act in 1934 , a Philippine presidential election was held in 1935 . Manuel L. Quezon was elected and inaugurated second President of the Philippines on November 15 , 1935 . The Insular Government was dissolved and the Commonwealth of the Philippines was brought into existence . The Commonwealth of the Philippines was intended to be a transitional government in preparation for the country 's full achievement of independence in 1946 . After the Japanese invasion and subsequent occupation of the Philippines during World War II , the United States and Philippine Commonwealth military recaptured the Philippines in 1945 . According to the terms of the Philippine Independence Act , the United States formally recognised the independence of the Republic of the Philippines on July 4 , 1946 .

The terms of the pact called for Aguinaldo and his militia to surrender . Other revolutionary leaders were given amnesty and a monetary indemnity by the Spanish government in return for which the rebel government agreed to go into exile in Hong Kong . Spanish -- American war period ( 1898 ) ( edit ) President Emilio Aguinaldo Main articles : Spanish -- American War and Philippine Revolution The failure of Spain to engage in active social reforms in Cuba as demanded by the United States government was the basic cause for the Spanish -- American War . American attention was focused on the issue after the mysterious explosion that sank the American battleship Maine on February 15 , 1898 in Havana Harbor . As public political pressure from the Democratic Party and certain industrialists built up for war , the U.S. Congress forced the reluctant Republican President William McKinley to issue an ultimatum to Spain on April 19 , 1898 . Spain found it had no diplomatic support in Europe , but nevertheless declared war ; the U.S. followed on April 25 with its own declaration of war . Theodore Roosevelt , who was at that time Assistant Secretary of the Navy , ordered Commodore George Dewey , commanding the Asiatic Squadron of the United States Navy : `` Order the squadron ... to Hong Kong . Keep full of coal . In the event of declaration of war Spain , your duty will be to see that the Spanish squadron does not leave the Asiatic coast , and then offensive operations in Philippine Islands . '' Dewey 's squadron departed on April 27 for the Philippines , reaching Manila Bay on the evening of April 30 . Battle of Manila Bay ( edit ) Battle of Manila Bay Main article : Battle of Manila Bay The first battle of the Spanish -- American War took place in the Philippines on May 1 , 1898 . In a matter of hours , Commodore Dewey 's Asiatic Squadron defeated the Spanish squadron under Admiral Patricio Montojo . The U.S. squadron took control of the arsenal and navy yard at Cavite . Dewey cabled Washington , stating that although he controlled Manila Bay , he needed 5,000 additional men to seize Manila itself . U.S. preparation for land - based operations ( edit ) The unexpected rapidity and completeness of Dewey 's victory in the first engagement of the war prompted the McKinley administration to make the decision to capture Manila from the Spanish . The United States Army began to assemble the Eighth Army Corps -- a military unit which would consist of 10,844 soldiers under the command of Major General Wesley Merritt -- in preparation for deployment to the Philippines . Thomas M. Anderson While awaiting the arrival of troops from the Eighth Corps , Dewey dispatched the cutter USRC McCulloch to Hong Kong to transport Aguinaldo back to the Philippines . Aguinaldo arrived on May 19 and , after a brief meeting with Dewey , resumed revolutionary activities against the Spanish . On May 24 , Aguinaldo issued a proclamation in which he assumed command of all Philippine forces and announced his intention to establish a dictatorial government with himself as dictator , saying that he would resign in favor of a duly elected president . Public jubilation marked Aguinaldo 's return . Many Filipino enlisted men deserted local Spanish army units to join Aguinaldo 's command and the Philippine Revolution against Spain resumed . Soon , many cities such as Imus , Bacoor , Parañaque , Las Piñas , Morong , Macabebe and San Fernando , as well as some entire provinces such as Laguna , Batangas , Bulacan , Nueva Ecija , Bataan , Tayabas ( now Quezon ) , and the Camarines provinces , were liberated by the Filipinos and the port of Dalahican in Cavite was secured . The first contingent of American troops arrived on 30 June under the command of Brigadier General Thomas McArthur Anderson , commander of Eighth Corps ' 2d Division ( U.S. brigade and division numbers of the era were not unique throughout the army ) . General Anderson wrote to Aguinaldo , requesting his cooperation in military operations against the Spanish forces . Aguinaldo responded , thanking General Anderson for his amicable sentiments , but saying nothing about military cooperation . General Anderson did not renew the request . The 2d Brigade , 2d Division , Eighth Corps arrived on July 17 , under the command of Brigadier General Francis V. Greene . Major General Merritt ( the Commander in Chief of the Philippine Expedition ) and his staff arrived at Cavite on July 25 . The 1st Brigade of the corps ' 2d Division arrived on July 30 , under the command of Brigadier General Arthur MacArthur . Philippine declaration of independence and establishment of Philippine governments ( edit ) Main article : Philippine Declaration of Independence Independence Day held in Aguinaldo Shrine at the back of the old 5 peso bill On 12 June 1898 , Aguinaldo proclaimed the independence of the Philippines at his house in Cavite El Viejo . Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista wrote the Philippine Declaration of Independence , and read this document in Spanish that day at Aguinaldo 's house . On 18 June , Aguinaldo issued a decree formally establishing his dictatorial government . On June 23 , Aguinaldo issued another decree , this time replacing the dictatorial government with a revolutionary government ( and naming himself as President ) . Marcela Agoncillo Writing retrospectively in 1899 , Aguinaldo claimed that an American naval officer had urged him to return to the Philippines to fight the Spanish and said `` The United States is a great and rich nation and needs no colonies . '' Aguinaldo also wrote that after checking with Dewey by telegraph , U.S. Consul E. Spencer Pratt had assured him in Singapore : `` That the United States would at least recognize the independence of the Philippines under the protection of the United States Navy . The consul added that there was no necessity for entering into a formal written agreement because the word of the Admiral and of the United States Consul were in fact equivalent to the most solemn pledge that their verbal promises and assurance would be fulfilled to the letter and were not to be classed with Spanish promises or Spanish ideas of a man 's word of honour . '' Aguinaldo received nothing in writing . House of Marcela Agoncillo the mother of the Philippine flag On April 28 Pratt wrote to United States Secretary of State William R. Day , explaining the details of his meeting with Aguinaldo : `` `` At this interview , after learning from General Aguinaldo the state of an object sought to be obtained by the present insurrectionary movement , which , though absent from the Philippines , he was still directing , I took it upon myself , whilst explaining that I had no authority to speak for the Government , to point out the danger of continuing independent action at this stage ; and , having convinced him of the expediency of cooperating with our fleet , then at Hongkong , and obtained the assurance of his willingness to proceed thither and confer with Commodore Dewey to that end , should the latter so desire , I telegraphed the Commodore the same day as follows , through our consul - general at Hongkong : -- '' There was no mention in the cablegrams between Pratt and Dewey of independence or indeed of any conditions on which Aguinaldo was to cooperate , these details being left for future arrangement with Dewey . Pratt had intended to facilitate the occupation and administration of the Philippines , and also to prevent a possible conflict of action . In a communication written on July 28 , Pratt made the following statement : `` `` I declined even to discuss with General Aguinaldo the question of the future policy of the United States with regard to the Philippines , that I held out no hopes to him of any kind , committed the government in no way whatever , and , in the course of our confidences , never acted upon the assumption that the Government would cooperate with him -- General Aguinaldo -- for the furtherance of any plans of his own , nor that , in accepting his said cooperation , it would consider itself pledged to recognize any political claims which he might put forward . '' '' Aguinaldo Shrine where the Flag of the Philippines was waved declaring the Philippine independence from Spain On June 16 , Secretary Day cabled Consul Pratt : `` Avoid unauthorized negotiations with the Philippine insurgents , '' and later on the same day : `` The Department observes that you informed General Aguinaldo that you had no authority to speak for the United States ; and , in the absence of the fuller report which you promise , it is assumed that you did not attempt to commit this Government to any alliance with the Philippine insurgents . To obtain the unconditional personal assistance of General Aguinaldo in the expedition to Manila was proper , if in so doing he was not induced to form hopes which it might not be practicable to gratify . This Government has known the Philippine insurgents only as discontented and rebellious subjects of Spain , and is not acquainted with their purposes . While their contest with that power has been a matter of public notoriety , they have neither asked nor received from this Government any recognition . The United States , in entering upon the occupation of the islands , as the result of its military operations in that quarter , will do so in the exercise of the rights which the state of war confers , and will expect from the inhabitants , without regard to their former attitude toward the Spanish Government , that obedience which will be lawfully due from them . If , in the course of your conferences with General Aguinaldo , you acted upon the assumption that this Government would co-operate with him for the furtherance of any plan of his own , or that , in accepting his co-operation , it would consider itself pledged to recognize any political claims which he may put forward , your action was unauthorized and can not be approved . '' Filipino scholar Maximo Kalaw wrote in 1927 : `` A few of the principal facts , however , seem quite clear . Aguinaldo was not made to understand that , in consideration of Filipino cooperation , the United States would extend its sovereignty over the Islands , and thus in place of the old Spanish master a new one would step in . The truth was that nobody at the time ever thought that the end of the war would result in the retention of the Philippines by the United States . '' Tensions between U.S. and revolutionary forces ( edit ) Felipe Agoncillo was the Filipino lawyer representative to the negotiations in Paris that led to the Treaty of Paris ( 1898 ) , ending the Spanish -- American War and achieving him the title of `` outstanding first Filipino diplomat . '' On July 9 General Anderson informed Major General Henry Clark Corbin , the Adjutant General of the U.S. Army , that Aguinaldo `` has declared himself Dictator and President , and is trying to take Manila without our assistance '' , opining that that would not be probable but , if done , would allow him to antagonize any U.S. attempt to establish a provisional government . On July 15 , Aguinaldo issued three organic decrees assuming civil authority of the Philippines . Felipe Agoncillo house On July 18 , General Anderson wrote that he suspected Aguinaldo to be secretly negotiating with the Spanish authorities . In a 21 July letter to the Adjutant General , General Anderson wrote that Aguinaldo had `` put in operation an elaborate system of military government , under his assumed authority as Dictator , and has prohibited any supplies being given us , except by his order , '' and that Anderson had written to Aguinaldo that the requisitions on the country for necessary items must be filled , and that he must aid in having them filled . On July 24 , Aguinaldo wrote a letter to General Anderson in effect warning him not to disembark American troops in places conquered by the Filipinos from the Spaniards without first communicating in writing the places to be occupied and the object of the occupation . Murat Halstead , official historian of the Philippine Expedition , writes that General Merritt remarked shortly after his arrival on 25 June , `` As General Aguinaldo did not visit me on my arrival , nor offer his services as a subordinate military leader , and as my instructions from the President fully contemplated the occupation of the islands by the American land forces , and stated that ' the powers of the military occupant are absolute and supreme and immediately operate upon the political condition of the inhabitants , ' I did not consider it wise to hold any direct communication with the insurgent leader until I should be in possession of the city of Manila , especially as I would not until then be in a position to issue a proclamation and enforce my authority , in the event that his pretensions should clash with my designs . '' U.S. commanders suspected that Aguinaldo and his forces were informing the Spanish of American movements . U.S. Army Major John R.M. Taylor later wrote , after translating and analyzing insurgent documents , `` The officers of the United States Army who believed that the insurgents were informing the Spaniards of the American movements were right . Sastrón has printed a letter from Pío del Pilar , dated July 30 , to the Spanish officer commanding at Santa Ana , in which Pilar said that Aguinaldo had told him that the Americans would attack the Spanish lines on August 2 and advised that the Spaniards should not give way , but hold their positions . Pilar added , however , that if the Spaniards should fall back on the walled city and surrender Santa Ana to himself , he would hold it with his own men . Aguinaldo 's information was correct , and on August 2 eight American soldiers were killed or wounded by the Spanish fire . '' On the evening of August 12 , on orders of General Merritt , General Anderson notified Aguinaldo to forbid the insurgents under his command from entering Manila . On 13 August , unaware of the peace protocol signing , U.S. forces assaulted and captured the Spanish positions in Manila . Insurgents made an independent attack of their own , as planned , which promptly led to trouble with the Americans . At 0800 that morning , Aguinaldo received a telegram from General Anderson , sternly warning him not to let his troops enter Manila without the consent of the American commander , who was situated on the south side of the Pasig River . General Anderson 's request was ignored , and Aguinaldo 's forces crowded forward alongside the American forces until they directly confronted the Spanish troops . Although the Spanish were waving a flag of truce , the insurgents fired on the Spanish forces , provoking return fire . 19 American soldiers were killed , and 103 more were wounded in this action . General Anderson sent Aguinaldo a telegram , later that day , which read : `` Dated Ermita Headquarters 2nd Division 13 to Gen. Aguinaldo . Commanding Filipino Forces. -- Manila , taken . Serious trouble threatened between our forces . Try and prevent it . Your troops should not force themselves in the city until we have received the full surrender then we will negotiate with you . - Anderson , commanding . '' Aguinaldo however demanded joint occupation of Manila . On August 13 Admiral Dewey and General Merritt informed their superiors of this and asked how far they might proceed in enforcing obedience in the matter . General Merritt received news of the August 12 peace protocol on August 16 , three days after the surrender of Manila . Admiral Dewey and General Merritt were informed by a telegram dated August 17 that the President of the United States had directed : `` That there must be no joint occupation with the Insurgents . The United States in the possession of Manila city , Manila bay and harbor must preserve the peace and protect persons and property within the territory occupied by their military and naval forces . The insurgents and all others must recognize the military occupation and authority of the United States and the cessation of hostilities proclaimed by the President . Use whatever means in your judgment are necessary to this end . '' General Gregorio del Pilar Insurgent forces were looting the portions of the city which they occupied , and were not confining their attacks to Spaniards , but were assaulting their own people and raiding the property of foreigners as well . U.S. commanders pressed Aguinaldo to withdraw his forces from Manila . Negotiations proceeded slowly and , on August 31 , General Elwell Otis ( General Merritt being unavailable ) wrote , in a long letter to Aguinaldo : `` ... I am compelled by my instructions to direct that your armed forces evacuate the entire city of Manila , including its suburbs and defences , and that I shall be obliged to take action with that end in view within a very short space of time should you decline to comply with my Government 's demands ; and I hereby serve notice on you that unless your troops are withdrawn beyond the line of the city 's defences before Thursday , the 15th instant , I shall be obliged to resort to forcible action , and that my Government will hold you responsible for any unfortunate consequences which may ensue . '' After further negotiation and exchanges of letters , Aguinaldo wrote on September 16 : `` On the evening of the 15th the armed insurgent organizations withdrew from the city and all of its suburbs , ... '' Peace protocol between the U.S. and Spain ( edit ) On August 12 , 1898 , The New York Times reported that a peace protocol had been signed in Washington that afternoon between the U.S. and Spain , suspending hostilities between the two nations . The full text of the protocol was not made public until November 5 , but Article III read : `` The United States will occupy and hold the City , Bay , and Harbor of Manila , pending the conclusion of a treaty of peace , which shall determine the control , disposition , and government of the Philippines . '' After conclusion of this agreement , U.S. President McKinley proclaimed a suspension of hostilities with Spain . Capture of Manila ( edit ) Main article : Battle of Manila ( 1898 ) By June , U.S. and Filipino forces had taken control of most of the islands , except for the walled city of Intramuros . Admiral Dewey and General Merritt were able to work out a bloodless solution with acting Governor - General Fermín Jáudenes . The negotiating parties made a secret agreement to stage a mock battle in which the Spanish forces would be defeated by the American forces , but the Filipino forces would not be allowed to enter the city . This plan minimized the risk of unnecessary casualties on all sides , while the Spanish would also avoid the shame of possibly having to surrender Intramuros to the Filipino forces . On the eve of the mock battle , General Anderson telegraphed Aguinaldo , `` Do not let your troops enter Manila without the permission of the American commander . On this side of the Pasig River you will be under fire '' . On August 13 , with American commanders unaware that a ceasefire had already been signed between Spain and the U.S. on the previous day , American forces captured the city of Manila from the Spanish in the Battle of Manila . The battle started when Dewey 's ships bombarded Fort San Antonio Abad , a decrepit structure on the southern outskirts of Manila , and the virtually impregnable walls of Intramuros . In accordance with the plan , the Spanish forces withdrew while U.S. forces advanced . Once a sufficient show of battle had been made , Dewey hoisted the signal `` D.W.H.B. '' ( meaning `` Do you surrender ? ) , whereupon the Spanish hoisted a white flag and Manila was formally surrendered to U.S. forces . General Antonio Luna This battle marked the end of Filipino - American collaboration , as the American action of preventing Filipino forces from entering the captured city of Manila was deeply resented by the Filipinos . This later led to the Philippine -- American War , which would prove to be more deadly and costly than the Spanish -- American War . U.S. military government ( edit ) On August 14 , 1898 , two days after the capture of Manila , the U.S. established a military government in the Philippines , with General Merritt acting as military governor . During military rule ( 1898 -- 1902 ) , the U.S. military commander governed the Philippines under the authority of the U.S. president as Commander - in - Chief of the United States Armed Forces . After the appointment of a civil Governor - General , the procedure developed that as parts of the country were pacified and placed firmly under American control , responsibility for the area would be passed to the civilian . General Merritt was succeeded by General Otis as military governor , who in turn was succeeded by General MacArthur . Major General Adna Chaffee was the final military governor . The position of military governor was abolished in July 1902 , after which the civil Governor - General became the sole executive authority in the Philippines . Under the military government , an American - style school system was introduced , initially with soldiers as teachers ; civil and criminal courts were reestablished , including a supreme court ; and local governments were established in towns and provinces . The first local election was conducted by General Harold W. Lawton on May 7 , 1899 , in Baliuag , Bulacan . U.S. and insurgents clash ( edit ) Main article : Philippine -- American War In a clash at Cavite between United States soldiers and insurgents on August 25 , 1898 , George Hudson of the Utah regiment was killed , Corporal William Anderson was mortally wounded , and four troopers of the Fourth Cavalry were slightly wounded . This provoked General Anderson to send Aguinaldo a letter saying , `` In order to avoid the very serious misfortune of an encounter between our troops , I demand your immediate withdrawal with your guard from Cavite . One of my men has been killed and three wounded by your people . This is positive and does not admit of explanation or delay . '' Internal insurgent communications reported that the Americans were drunk at the time . Halstead writes that Aguinaldo expressed his regret and promised to punish the offenders . In internal insurgent communications , Apolinario Mabini initially proposed to investigate and punish any offenders identified . Aguinaldo modified this , ordering , `` ... say that he was not killed by your soldiers , but by them themselves ( the Americans ) since they were drunk according to your telegram '' . An insurgent officer in Cavite at the time reported on his record of services that he : `` took part in the movement against the Americans on the afternoon of the 24th of August , under the orders of the commander of the troops and the adjutant of the post . '' Philippine elections , Malolos Congress , constitutional government ( edit ) Elections were held by the Revolutionary Government between June and September 10 , resulting in Emilio Aguinaldo being seated as President in the seating of a legislature known as the Malolos Congress . In a session between September 15 and November 13 , 1898 , the Malolos Constitution was adopted . It was promulgated on January 21 , 1899 , creating the First Philippine Republic . Spanish -- American war ends ( edit ) Main article : Treaty of Paris ( 1898 ) Article V of the peace protocol signed on August 12 had mandated negotiations to conclude a treaty of peace to begin in Paris not later than October 1 , 1898 . President McKinley sent a five - man commission , initially instructed to demand no more than Luzon , Guam , and Puerto Rico ; which would have provided a limited U.S. empire of pinpoint colonies to support a global fleet and provide communication links . In Paris , the commission was besieged with advice , particularly from American generals and European diplomats , to demand the entire Philippine archipelago . The unanimous recommendation was that `` it would certainly be cheaper and more humane to take the entire Philippines than to keep only part of it . '' On October 28 , 1898 , McKinley wired the commission that `` cessation of Luzon alone , leaving the rest of the islands subject to Spanish rule , or to be the subject of future contention , can not be justified on political , commercial , or humanitarian grounds . The cessation must be the whole archipeligo or none . The latter is wholly inadmissible , and the former must therefore be required . '' The Spanish negotiators were furious over the `` immodist demands of a conqueror '' , but their wounded pride was assuaged by an offer of twenty million dollars for `` Spanish improvements '' to the islands . The Spaniards capitulated , and on December 10 , 1898 , the U.S. and Spain signed the Treaty of Paris , formally ending the Spanish -- American War . In Article III , Spain ceded the Philippine archipelago to the United States , as follows : `` Spain cedes to the United States the archipelago known as the Philippine Islands , and comprehending the islands lying within the following line : ( ... geographic description elided ... ) . The United States will pay to Spain the sum of twenty million dollars ( $20,000,000 ) within three months after the exchange of the ratifications of the present treaty . '' 1898 US political cartoon . U.S. President William McKinley is shown holding the Philippines , depicted as a native child , as the world looks on . The implied options for McKinley are to keep the Philippines , or give it back to Spain , which the cartoon compares to throwing a child off a cliff . In the U.S. , there was a movement for Philippine independence ; some said that the U.S. had no right to a land where many of the people wanted self - government . In 1898 Andrew Carnegie , an industrialist and steel magnate , offered to offered to pay the U.S. government $20 million to give the Philippines its independence . On November 7 , 1900 , Spain and the U.S. signed the Treaty of Washington , clarifying that the territories relinquished by Spain to the United States included any and all islands belonging to the Philippine Archipelago , but lying outside the lines described in the Treaty of Paris . That treaty explicitly named the islands of Cagayan Sulu and Sibutu and their dependencies as among the relinquished territories . Benevolent Assimilation ( edit ) Main article : Benevolent assimilation U.S. President McKinley 's December 21 , 1898 proclamation of Benevolent Assimilation was announced in the Philippines on January 4 , 1899 . Referring to the Treaty of Paris , it said that as a result of the victories of American arms , the future control , disposition , and government of the Philippine Islands are ceded to the United States . It enjoined the military commander ( General Otis ) to make known to the inhabitants of the Philippine Islands that in succeeding to the sovereignty of Spain , the authority of the United States is to be exerted for the securing of the persons and property of the people of the islands and for the confirmation of all their private rights and relations . It specified that it will be the duty of the commander of the forces of occupation to announce and proclaim in the most public manner that we come , not as invaders or conquerors , but as friends , to protect the natives in their homes , in their employments , and in their personal and religious rights . On January 6 , 1899 , General Otis was quoted in The New York Times as expressing himself as convinced that the U.S. government intends to seek the establishment of a liberal government , in which the people will be as fully represented as the maintenance of law and order will permit , susceptible of development , on lines of increased representation , and the bestowal of increased powers , into a government as free and independent as is enjoyed by the most favored provinces in the world . Philippine -- American war ( 1899 -- 1902 ) ( edit ) Main article : Philippine -- American War Tensions escalate ( edit ) Gregorio del Pilar and his troops , around 1898. jpg The Spanish had yielded Iloilo to the insurgents in 1898 for the purpose of troubling the Americans . On January 1 , 1899 , news had come to Washington from Manila that American forces which had been sent to Iloilo under the command of General Marcus Miller had been confronted by 6,000 armed Filipinos , who refused them permission to land . A Filipino official styling himself Presidente Lopez of the Federal Government of the Visayas informed Miller that `` foreign troops '' would not be landed `` without express orders from the central government of Luzon '' On December 21 , 1898 , President McKinley issued a Proclamation of Benevolent Assimilation . General Otis delayed its publication until January 4 , 1899 , then publishing an amended version edited so as not to convey the meanings of the terms `` sovereignty '' , `` protection '' , and `` right of cessation '' which were present in the unabridged version . Unknown to Otis , the War Department had also sent an enciphered copy of the Benevolent Assimilation proclamation to General Marcus Miller in Iloilo for informational purposes . Miller assumed that it was for distribution and , unaware that a politically bowdlerized version had been sent to Aguinaldo , published it in both Spanish and Tagalog translations which eventually made their way to Aguinaldo . Even before Aguinaldo received the unaltered version and observed the changes in the copy he had received from Otis , he was upset that Otis had altered his own title to `` Military Governor of the Philippines '' from `` ... in the Philippines . '' Aguinaldo did not miss the significance of the alteration , which Otis had made without authorization from Washington . Battle of Quingua , April 23 , 1899 Philippine -- American War On January 5 , Aguinaldo issued a counter-proclamation summarizing what he saw as American violations of the ethics of friendship , particularly as regards the events in Iloilo . The proclamation concluded as follows : `` Such procedures , so foreign to the dictates of culture and the usages observed by civilized nations , gave me the right to act without observing the usual rules of intercourse . Nevertheless , in order to be correct to the end , I sent to General Otis commissioners charged to solicit him to desist from his rash enterprise , but they were not listened to . My government can not remain indifferent in view of such a violent and aggressive seizure of a portion of its territory by a nation which arrogated to itself the title champion of oppressed nations . Thus it is that my government is disposed to open hostilities if the American troops attempt to take forcible possession of the Visayan Islands . I denounce these acts before the world , in order that the conscience of mankind may pronounce its infallable verdict as to who are the true oppressors of nations and the tormentors of human kind . '' Battle before Caloocan After some copies of that proclamation had been distributed , Aguinaldo ordered the recall of undistributed copies and issued another proclamation , which was published the same day in El Heraldo de la Revolucion , the official newspaper of the Philippine Republic . There , he said partly , `` As in General Otis 's proclamation he alluded to some instructions edited by His Excellency the President of the United States , referring to the administration of the matters in the Philippine Islands , I in the name of God , the root and fountain of all justice , and that of all the right which has been visibly granted to me to direct my dear brothers in the difficult work of our regeneration , protest most solemnly against this intrusion of the United States Government on the sovereignty of these islands . I equally protest in the name of the Filipino people against the said intrusion , because as they have granted their vote of confidence appointing me president of the nation , although I do n't consider that I deserve such , therefore I consider it my duty to defend to death its liberty and independence . '' Battle of Santa Cruz Otis , taking these two proclamations as a call to arms , strengthened American observation posts and alerted his troops . In the tense atmosphere , some 40,000 Filipinos fled Manila within a period of 15 days . Meanwhile , Felipe Agoncillo , who had been commissioned by the Philippine Revolutionary Government as Minister Plenipotentiary to negotiate treaties with foreign governments , and who had unsuccessfully sought to be seated at the negotiations between the U.S. and Spain in Paris , was now in Washington . On January 6 , he filed a request for an interview with the President to discuss affairs in the Philippines . The next day the government officials were surprised to learn that messages to General Otis to deal mildly with the rebels and not to force a conflict had become known to Agoncillo , and cabled by him to Aguinaldo . At the same time came Aguinaldo 's protest against General Otis signing himself `` Military Governor of the Philippines . '' On January 8 , Agoncillo gave out this statement : `` In my opinion the Filipino people , whom I represent , will never consent to become a colony dependency of the United States . The soldiers of the Filipino army have pledged their lives that they will not lay down their arms until General Aguinaldo tells them to do so , and they will keep that pledge , I feel confident . '' The Filipino committees in London , Paris and Madrid about this time telegraphed to President McKinley as follows : American troops guarding the bridge over the River Pasig `` We protest against the disembarkation of American troops at Iloilo . The treaty of peace still unratified , the American claim to sovereignty is premature . Pray reconsider the resolution regarding Iloilo . Filipinos wish for the friendship of America and abhor militarism and deceit . '' Young 's Scouts , including Marcus W. Robertson ( 2nd from right , front row squating ) , Richard Moses Longfellow ( 4th from right , front row squating ) , Medal of Honor recipients . Picture taken in Philippines . On January 8 , Aguinaldo received the following message from Teodoro Sandiko : `` To the President of the Revolutionary Government , Malolos , from Sandico , Manila . 8 Jan. , 1899 , 9.40 p.m.. : In consequence of the order of General Rios to his officers , as soon as the Filipino attack begins the Americans should be driven into the Intramuros district and the walled city should be set on fire . Pipi . '' The New York Times reported on January 8 , that two Americans who had been guarding a waterboat in Iloilo had been attacked , one fatally , and that insurgents were threatening to destroy the business section of the city by fire ; and on January 10 that a peaceful solution to the Iloilo issues may result but that Aguinaldo had issued a proclamation threatening to drive the Americans from the islands . Attack on the barracks of Company C of the 13th Minnesota Volunteers by Filipino forces during the Tondo Fire in Manila , 1899 By January 10 , insurgents were ready to assume the offensive , but desired , if possible , to provoke the Americans into firing the first shot . They made no secret of their desire for conflict , but increased their hostile demonstrations and pushed their lines forward into forbidden territory . Their attitude is well illustrated by the following extract from a telegram sent by Colonel Cailles to Aguinaldo on January 10 , 1899 : `` Most urgent . An American interpreter has come to tell me to withdraw our forces in Maytubig fifty paces . I shall not draw back a step , and in place of withdrawing , I shall advance a little farther . He brings a letter from his general , in which he speaks to me as a friend . I said that from the day I knew that Maquinley ( McKinley ) opposed our independence I did not want any dealings with any American . War , war , is what we want . The Americans after this speech went off pale . '' Aguinaldo approved the hostile attitude of Cailles , for there is a reply in his handwriting which reads : `` I approve and applaud what you have done with the Americans , and zeal and valour always , also my beloved officers and soldiers there . I believe that they are playing us until the arrival of their reinforcements , but I shall send an ultimatum and remain always on the alert. -- E.A. Jan. 10 , 1899 . '' On 31 January 1899 , The Minister of Interior of the revolutionary First Philippine Republic , Teodoro Sandiko , signed a decree saying that President Aguinaldo had directed that all idle lands be planted to provide food for the people , in view of impending war with the Americans . Outbreak of General hostilities ( edit ) Main article : Battle of Manila ( 1899 ) Worcester writes that General Otis ' account of the opening of active hostilities was as follows : Emilio Aguinaldo 's quarters in Manila following his capture by the Americans . `` `` On the night of February 2 they sent in a strong detachment to draw the fire of our outposts , which took up a position immediately in front and within a few yards of the same . The outpost was strengthened by a few of our men , who silently bore their taunts and abuse the entire night . This was reported to me by General MacArthur , whom I directed to communicate with the officer in command of the insurgent troops concerned . His prepared letter was shown me and approved , and the reply received was all that could be desired . However , the agreement was ignored by the insurgents and on the evening of February 4 another demonstration was made on one of our small outposts , which occupied a retired position at least 150 yards within the line which had been mutually agreed upon , an insurgent approaching the picket and refusing to halt or answer when challenged . The result was that our picket discharged his piece , when the insurgent troops near Santa Mesa opened a spirited fire on our troops there stationed . `` The insurgents had thus succeeded in drawing the fire of a small outpost , which they had evidently labored with all their ingenuity to accomplish , in order to justify in some way their premeditated attack . It is not believed that the chief insurgent leaders wished to open hostilities at this time , as they were not completely prepared to assume the initiative . They desired two or three days more to perfect their arrangements , but the zeal of their army brought on the crisis which anticipated their premeditated action . They could not have delayed long , however , for it was their object to force an issue before American troops , then en route , could arrive in Manila . '' Thus began the Insurgent attack , so long and so carefully planned for . We learn from the Insurgent records that the shot of the American sentry missed its mark . There was no reason why it should have provoked a hot return fire , but it did . The result of the ensuing combat was not at all what the Insurgents had anticipated . The Americans did not drive very well . It was but a short time before they themselves were routed and driven from their positions . Aguinaldo of course promptly advanced the claim that his troops had been wantonly attacked . The plain fact is that the Insurgent patrol in question deliberately drew the fire of the American sentry , and this was just as much an act of war as was the firing of the shot . Whether the patrol was acting under proper orders from higher authority is not definitely known . '' Surrendered President Aguinaldo boards the U.S.S Vicksburg , 1900 . Other sources name the two specific U.S. soldiers involved in the first exchange of fire as Privates William Grayson and Orville Miller of the Nebraska Volunteers . Subsequent to the conclusion of the war , after analyzing captured insurgent papers , Major Major J.R.M. Taylor wrote , in part , `` An attack on the United States forces was planned which should annihilate the little army in Manila , and delegations were appointed to secure the interference of foreign powers . The protecting cloak of pretense of friendliness to the United States was to be kept up until the last . While commissioners were appointed to negotiate with General Otis , secret societies were organized in Manila pledged to obey orders of the most barbarous character to kill and burn . The attack from without and the attack from within was to be on a set day and hour . The strained situation could not last . The spark was applied , either inadvertently or by design , on the 4th of February by an insurgent , willfully transgressing upon what , by their own admission , was within the agreed limits of the holding of the American troops . Hostilities resulted and the war was an accomplished fact . '' Filipino casualties War ( edit ) On February 4 , Aguinaldo declared `` That peace and friendly relations with the Americans be broken and that the latter be treated as enemies , within the limits prescribed by the laws of war . '' On June 2 , 1899 , the Malolos Congress enacted and ratified a declaration of war on the United States , which was publicly proclaimed on that same day by Pedro Paterno , President of the Assembly . As before when fighting the Spanish , the Filipino rebels did not do well in the field . Aguinaldo and his provisional government escaped after the capture of Malolos on March 31 , 1899 and were driven into northern Luzon . Peace feelers from members of Aguinaldo 's cabinet failed in May when the American commander , General Ewell Otis , demanded an unconditional surrender . In 1901 , Aguinaldo was captured and swore allegiance to the United States , marking one end to the war . First Philippine Commission ( edit ) Main article : Schurman Commission President McKinley had appointed a five - person group headed by Dr. Jacob Schurman , president of Cornell University , on January 20 , 1899 , to investigate conditions in the islands and 1899 political cartoon by Winsor McCay . Uncle Sam ( representing the United States ) , gets entangled with rope around a tree labelled `` Imperialism '' while trying to subdue a bucking colt or mule labeled `` Philippines '' while a figure representing Spain walks off over the horizon carrying a bag labeled `` $20,000,000 '' . make recommendations . The three civilian members of the Philippine Commission arrived in Manila on March 4 , 1899 , a month after the Battle of Manila which had begun armed conflict between U.S. and revolutionary Filipino forces . The commission published a proclamation containing assurances that the U.S. `` ... is anxious to establish in the Philippine Islands an enlightened system of government under which the Philippine people may enjoy the largest measure of home rule and the amplest liberty . '' After meetings in April with revolutionary representatives , the commission requested authorization from McKinley to offer a specific plan . McKinley authorized an offer of a government consisting of `` a Governor - General appointed by the President ; cabinet appointed by the Governor - General ; ( and ) a general advisory council elected by the people . '' The Revolutionary Congress voted unanimously to cease fighting and accept peace and , on May 8 , the revolutionary cabinet headed by Apolinario Mabini was replaced by a new `` peace '' cabinet headed by Pedro Paterno . At this point , General Antonio Luna arrested Paterno and most of his cabinet , returning Mabini and his cabinet to power . After this , the commission concluded that `` ... The Filipinos are wholly unprepared for independence ... there being no Philippine nation , but only a collection of different peoples . '' In the report that they issued to the president the following year , the commissioners acknowledged Filipino aspirations for independence ; they declared , however , that the Philippines was not ready for it . `` On November 2 , 1899 , The commmision issued a preliminary report containing the following statement : Should our power by any fatality be withdrawn , the commission believe that the government of the Philippines would speedily lapse into anarchy , which would excuse , if it did not necessitate , the intervention of other powers and the eventual division of the islands among them . Only through American occupation , therefore , is the idea of a free , self - governing , and united Philippine commonwealth at all conceivable . And the indispensable need from the Filipino point of view of maintaining American sovereignty over the archipelago is recognized by all intelligent Filipinos and even by those insurgents who desire an American protectorate . The latter , it is true , would take the revenues and leave us the responsibilities . Nevertheless , they recognize the indubitable fact that the Filipinos can not stand alone . Thus the welfare of the Filipinos coincides with the dictates of national honour in forbidding our abandonment of the archipelago . We can not from any point of view escape the responsibilities of government which our sovereignty entails ; and the commission is strongly persuaded that the performance of our national duty will prove the greatest blessing to the peoples of the Philippine Islands . '' William Howard Taft Governor general of the Philippines riding a carabao Specific recommendations included the establishment of civilian government as rapidly as possible ( the American chief executive in the islands at that time was the military governor ) , including establishment of a bicameral legislature , autonomous governments on the provincial and municipal levels , and a system of free public elementary schools . Second Philippine Commission ( edit ) Main article : Taft Commission The Second Philippine Commission ( the Taft Commission ) , appointed by McKinley on March 16 , 1900 , and headed by William Howard Taft , was granted legislative as well as limited executive powers . On September 1 , the Taft Commission began to exercise legislative functions . Between September 1900 and August 1902 , it issued 499 laws , established a judicial system , including a supreme court , drew up a legal code , and organized a civil service . The 1901 municipal code provided for popularly elected presidents , vice presidents , and councilors to serve on municipal boards . The municipal board members were responsible for collecting taxes , maintaining municipal properties , and undertaking necessary construction projects ; they also elected provincial governors . Establishment of civil government ( edit ) Governor General William Howard Taft addressing the audience at the Philippine Assembly in the Manila Grand Opera House On March 3 , 1901 the U.S. Congress passed the Army Appropriation Act containing ( along with the Platt Amendment on Cuba ) the Spooner Amendment which provided the President with legislative authority to establish of a civil government in the Philippines . Up until this time , the President been administering the Philippines by virtue of his war powers . On July 1 , 1901 , civil government was inaugurated with William H. Taft as the Civil Governor . Later , on February 3 , 1903 , the U.S. Congress would change the title of Civil Governor to Governor - General . A highly centralized public school system was installed in 1901 , using English as the medium of instruction . This created a heavy shortage of teachers , and the Philippine Commission authorized the Secretary of Public Instruction to bring to the Philippines 600 teachers from the U.S.A. -- the so - called Thomasites . Free primary instruction that trained the people for the duties of citizenship and avocation was enforced by the Taft Commission per instructions of President McKinley . Also , the Catholic Church was disestablished , and a considerable amount of church land was purchased and redistributed . Official end to the war ( edit ) The Philippine Organic Act of July 1902 approved , ratified , and confirmed McKinley 's Executive Order establishing the Philippine Commission , and also stipulated that the bicameral Philippine Legislature would be established composed of an elected lower house , the Philippine Assembly and the appointed Philippine Commission as the upper house . The act also provided for extending the United States Bill of Rights to the Philippines . On July 2 , 1902 the Secretary of War telegraphed that the insurrection against the sovereign authority of the U.S. having come to an end , and provincial civil governments having been established , the office of Military Governor was terminated . On July 4 , Theodore Roosevelt , who had succeeded to the U.S. Presidency after the assassination of President McKinley on September 5 , 1901 proclaimed a full and complete pardon and amnesty to all persons in the Philippine archipelago who had participated in the conflict . On April 9 , 2002 , Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo proclaimed that the Philippine -- American War had ended on April 16 , 1902 with the surrender of General Miguel Malvar , and declared the centennial anniversary of that date as a national working holiday and as a special non-working holiday in the Province of Batangas and in the Cities of Batangas , Lipa and Tanaun . Post-1902 hostilities ( edit ) Some sources have suggested that the war unofficially continued for nearly a decade , since bands of guerrillas , quasi-religious armed groups and other resistance groups continued to roam the countryside , still clashing with American Army or Philippine Constabulary patrols . American troops and the Philippine Constabulary continued hostilities against such resistance groups until 1913 . Some historians consider these unofficial extensions to be part of the war . Insular government ( 1901 -- 35 ) ( edit ) Main article : Insular Government Tranvia in Manila Philippines during American Era with Bahay na Bato house The 1902 Philippine Organic Act was a constitution for the Insular Government , as the U.S. civil administration was known . This was a form of territorial government that reported to the Bureau of Insular Affairs . The act provided for a Governor - General appointed by the U.S. president and an elected lower house , the Philippine Assembly . It also disestablished the Catholic Church as the state religion . The United States government , in an effort to resolve the status of the friars , negotiated with the Vatican . The church agreed to sell the friars ' estates and promised gradual substitution of Filipino and other non-Spanish priests for the friars . It refused , however , to withdraw the religious orders from the islands immediately , partly to avoid offending Spain . In 1904 the administration bought for $7.2 million the major part of the friars ' holdings , amounting to some 166,000 hectares ( 410,000 acres ) , of which one - half was in the vicinity of Manila . The land was eventually resold to Filipinos , some of them tenants but the majority of them estate owners . Manila , known as the Paris of the Asia was pushed forward even more by Daniel Burnham the Manila Urban planner In socio - economic terms , the Philippines made solid progress in this period . Foreign trade had amounted to 62 million pesos in 1895 , 13 % of which was with the United States . By 1920 , it had increased to 601 million pesos , 66 % of which was with the United States . A health care system was established which , by 1930 , reduced the mortality rate from all causes , including various tropical diseases , to a level similar to that of the United States itself . The practices of slavery , piracy and headhunting were suppressed but not entirely extinguished . Economy rose as reflected to the great edifices of the cities Two years after completion and publication of a census , a general election was conducted for the choice of delegates to a popular assembly . An elected Philippine Assembly was convened in 1907 as the lower house of a bicameral legislature , with the Philippine Commission as the upper house . Every year from 1907 the Philippine Assembly and later the Philippine Legislature passed resolutions expressing the Filipino desire for independence . Philippine nationalists led by Manuel L. Quezon and Sergio Osmeña enthusiastically endorsed the draft Jones Bill of 1912 , which provided for Philippine independence after eight years , but later changed their views , opting for a bill which focused less on time than on the conditions of independence . The nationalists demanded complete and absolute independence to be guaranteed by the United States , since they feared that too - rapid independence from American rule without such guarantees might cause the Philippines to fall into Japanese hands . The Jones Bill was rewritten and passed Congress in 1916 with a later date of independence . Busy street of early American - era Manila View of Binondo from Jones Bridge The law , officially the Philippine Autonomy Act but popularly known as the Jones Law , served as the new organic act ( or constitution ) for the Philippines . Its preamble stated that the eventual independence of the Philippines would be American policy , subject to the establishment of a stable government . The law maintained the Governor - General of the Philippines , appointed by the President of the United States , but established a bicameral Philippine Legislature to replace the elected Philippine Assembly ( lower house ) ; it replaced the appointive Philippine Commission ( upper house ) with an elected senate . Americans and Filipinos choose to preserve Spanish - era buildings for Historical , Tourism and Urban purposes . The Filipinos suspended their independence campaign during the First World War and supported the United States against Germany . After the war they resumed their independence drive with great vigor . On March 17 , 1919 , the Philippine Legislature passed a `` Declaration of Purposes '' , which stated the inflexible desire of the Filipino people to be free and sovereign . A Commission of Independence was created to study ways and means of attaining liberation ideal . This commission recommended the sending of an independence mission to the United States . The `` Declaration of Purposes '' referred to the Jones Law as a veritable pact , or covenant , between the American and Filipino peoples whereby the United States promised to recognize the independence of the Philippines as soon as a stable government should be established . U.S. Governor - General of the Philippines Francis Burton Harrison had concurred in the report of the Philippine legislature as to a stable government . With Manila 's Filipino Hispanic roots , Daniel Burnham developed the Urban planning of Manila through the City Beautiful Movement ; Neo-Classical architecture of Paris through Manila 's Government buildings , Canals of Venice through the Esteros of Manila , Sunset view of Naples through Manila Bay and Winding River of Paris through Pasig River . a fine example of the Burnham plan is the Manila Central Post Office and Jones Bridge Manila circa 1930s . The central façade of the Legislative Building The Philippine legislature funded an independence mission to the U.S. in 1919 . The mission departed Manila on February 28 and met in the U.S. with and presented their case to Secretary of War Newton D. Baker . U.S. President Woodrow Wilson , in his 1921 farewell message to Congress , certified that the Filipino people had performed the condition imposed on them as a prerequisite to independence , declaring that , this having been done , the duty of the U.S. is to grant Philippine independence . The Republican Party then controlled Congress and the recommendation of the outgoing Democratic president was not heeded . After the first independence mission , public funding of such missions was ruled illegal . Subsequent independence missions in 1922 , 1923 , 1930 , 1931 1932 , and two missions in 1933 were funded by voluntary contributions . Numerous independence bills were submitted to the U.S. Congress , which passed the Hare - Hawes - Cutting Bill on December 30 , 1932 . U.S. President Herbert Hoover vetoed the bill on January 13 , 1933 . Congress overrode the veto on January 17 , and the Hare -- Hawes -- Cutting Act became U.S. law . The law promised Philippine independence after 10 years , but reserved several military and naval bases for the United States , as well as imposing tariffs and quotas on Philippine exports . The law also required the Philippine Senate to ratify the law . Manuel L. Quezon urged the Philippine Senate to reject the bill , which it did . Quezon himself led the twelfth independence mission to Washington to secure a better independence act . The result was the Tydings -- McDuffie Act of 1934 which was very similar to the Hare - Hawes - Cutting Act except in minor details . The Tydings - McDuffie Act was ratified by the Philippine Senate . The law provided for the granting of Philippine independence by 1946 . The Tydings -- McDuffie Act provided for the drafting and guidelines of a Constitution , for a 10 - year `` transitional period '' as the Commonwealth of the Philippines before the granting of Philippine independence . On May 5 , 1934 , the Philippines legislature passed an act setting the election of convention delegates . Governor - General Frank Murphy designated July 10 as the election date , and the convention held its inaugural session on July 30 . The completed draft constitution was approved by the convention on February 8 , 1935 , approved by U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt on March 23 , and ratified by popular vote on May 14 . The first election under the constitution was held on September 17 , and on November 15 , 1935 , the Commonwealth was put into place . Commonwealth era ( 1935 -- 1946 ) ( edit ) Manuel Quezon y Molina once the 1st President of the Senate of the Philippines was elected to become the President of the Philippines during the commonwealth era of American occupation Main article : Commonwealth of the Philippines Manila before the war It was planned that the period 1935 -- 1946 would be devoted to the final adjustments required for a peaceful transition to full independence , a great latitude in autonomy being granted in the meantime . Instead there was war with Japan . On May 14 , 1935 , an election to fill the newly created office of President of the Commonwealth of the Philippines was won by Manuel L. Quezon ( Nacionalista Party ) and a Filipino government was formed on the basis of principles superficially similar to the U.S. Constitution . The Commonwealth as established in 1935 featured a very strong executive , a unicameral national assembly , and a supreme court composed entirely of Filipinos for the first time since 1901 . The new government embarked on an ambitious agenda of establishing the basis for national defense , greater control over the economy , reforms in education , improvement of transport , the colonization of the island of Mindanao , and the promotion of local capital and industrialization . The Commonwealth however , was also faced with agrarian unrest , an uncertain diplomatic and military situation in South East Asia , and uncertainty about the level of United States commitment to the future Republic of the Philippines . In 1939 -- 40 , the Philippine Constitution was amended to restore a bicameral Congress , and permit the reelection of President Quezon , previously restricted to a single , six - year term . During the Commonwealth years , Philippines sent one elected Resident Commissioner to the United States House of Representatives , as Puerto Rico currently does today .

See also : Military history of the Philippines during World War II A few hours after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7 , 1941 , the Japanese launched air raids in several cities and US military installations in the Philippines on December 8 , and on December 10 , the first Japanese troops landed in Northern Luzon . Filipino pilot Captain Jesús A. Villamor , leading a flight of three P - 26 `` Peashooter '' fighters of the 6th Pursuit Squadron , distinguished himself by attacking two enemy formations of 27 planes each and downing a much - superior Japanese Zero , for which he was awarded the U.S. Distinguished Service Cross . The two other planes in that flight , flown by Lieutenants César Basa and Geronimo Aclan were shot down . General Douglas MacArthur , commander of the United States Armed Forces in the Far East ( USAFFE ) , was forced to retreat to Bataan . Manila was occupied by the Japanese on January 2 , 1942 . The fall of Bataan was on April 9 , 1942 with Corregidor Island , at the mouth of Manila Bay , surrendering on May 6 . Meeting of Jorge B. Vargas , a secretary of President Manuel Quezon and Homma Masaharu , a general Lieutenant of Imperial Japanese Army on February , 20th 1943 José P. Laurel Became the President of the Philippines during the Japanese occupation General Tomoyuki Yamashita surrenders to the Filipino Guerrillas in the presence of Generals Jonathan Wainwright and Arthur Percival . The Commonwealth government by then had exiled itself to Washington , DC , upon the invitation of President Roosevelt ; however many politicians stayed behind and collaborated with the occupying Japanese . The main general headquarters of the Philippine Commonwealth Army was stationed and moved in the province was our enemy against the Japanese Occupation . The Philippine Commonwealth Army continued to fight the Japanese in a guerrilla war and were considered auxiliary units of the United States Army . Several Philippine Commonwealth military awards , such as the Philippine Defense Medal , Independence Medal , and Liberation Medal , were awarded to both the United States and Philippine Armed Forces . Gen. Douglas MacArthur wades ashore during initial landings at Leyte , Philippine Islands . As the Japanese forces advanced , Manila was declared an open city to prevent it from destruction , meanwhile , the government was moved to Corregidor . In March 1942 , General MacArthur and President Quezon fled the country . Guerrilla units harassed the Japanese when they could , and on Luzon native resistance was strong enough that the Japanese never did get control of a large part of the island.An anti-Japanese Army consisting of peasants known as the Huks did most of the fighting . The Huks forces resisted invaders and punished the people who collaborated with the Japanese , but they did n't have a well - disciplined organization , and were later seen as a threat to the Manila government . Before MacArthur came back , the effectiveness of the guerilla movement had decimated the control of Japan - limited to only 12 out of the 48 provinces . In October 1944 , MacArthur had gathered enough additional troops and supplies to begin the retaking of the Philippines , landing with Sergio Osmeña who had assumed the Presidency after Quezon 's death . The battles entailed long fierce fighting ; some of the Japanese continued to fight until the official surrender of the Empire of Japan on September 2 , 1945 . After their landing , Filipino and American forces also undertook measures to suppress the Huk movement , which was founded to fight the Japanese Occupation . The Filipino and American forces removed local Huk governments and imprisoned many high - ranking members of the Philippine Communist Party . While these incidents happened , there was still fighting against the Japanese forces and , despite the American and Philippine measures against the Huk , they still supported American and Filipino soldiers in the fight against the Japanese . Over a million Filipinos ( including regular and constable soldiers , recognized guerrillas and non-combatant civilians ) had been killed in the war , and many towns and cities , including Manila , were left in ruins . Independence ( 1946 ) ( edit ) Philippine Independence , July 4 , 1946 from all the Colonizers . The Flag of the United States of America is lowered while the Flag of the Philippines is raised . Philippine independence came on July 4 , 1946 , with the signing of the Treaty of Manila between the governments of the United States and the Philippines . The treaty provided for the recognition of the independence of the Republic of the Philippines and the relinquishment of American sovereignty over the Philippine Islands . From 1946 to 1961 , Independence Day was observed on July 4 . On 12 May 1962 , President Macapagal issued Presidential Proclamation No. 28 , proclaiming Tuesday , June 12 , 1962 as a special public holiday throughout the Philippines . In 1964 , Republic Act No. 4166 changed the date of Independence Day from July 4 to June 12 and renamed the July 4 holiday as Philippine Republic Day . World war II veteran benefits ( edit ) During World War II , over 200,000 Filipinos fought in defense of the United States against the Japanese in the Pacific theater of military operations , where more than half died . As a commonwealth of the United States before and during the war , Filipinos were legally American nationals . With American nationality , Filipinos were promised all the benefits afforded to those serving in the armed forces of the United States . In 1946 , Congress passed the Rescission Act ( 38 U.S.C. § 107 ) which stripped Filipinos of the benefits they were promised . Since the passage of the Rescission Act , many Filipino veterans have traveled to the United States to lobby Congress for the benefits promised to them for their service and sacrifice . Over 30,000 of such veterans live in the United States today , with most being United States citizens . Sociologists introduced the phrase `` Second Class Veterans '' to describe the plight of these Filipino Americans . Beginning in 1993 , numerous bills titled Filipino Veterans Fairness Act were introduced in Congress to return the benefits taken away from these veterans , only to die in committee . The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 , signed into law on February 17 , 2009 , included provisions to pay benefits to the 15,000 remaining veterans . On January 6 , 2011 Jackie Speier ( D - CA ) , U.S. Representative for California 's 12th congressional district , serving since 2008 , introduced a bill seeking to make Filipino WW - II veterans eligible for the same benefits available to U.S. veterans . In a news conference to outline the bill , Speier estimated that approximately 50,000 Filipino veterans survive .

when did spain give the united states full control of the philippines
[ "With the signing of the Treaty of Paris on December 10, 1898, Spain ceded the Philippines to the United States.[1] The interim U.S. military government of the Philippine Islands experienced a period of great political turbulence, characterised by the Philippine–American War. Beginning in 1901, the military government was replaced by a civilian government—the Insular Government of the Philippine Islands—with William Howard Taft serving as its first Governor-General. From 1901 to 1906 there also existed a series of revolutionary governments that lacked significant international diplomatic recognition." ]

Fifty - two American diplomats and citizens were held hostage for 444 days from November 4 , 1979 , to January 20 , 1981 , after a group of Iranian college students belonging to the Muslim Student Followers of the Imam 's Line , who supported the Iranian Revolution , took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran . It stands as the longest hostage crisis in recorded history . The crisis was described by the Western media as an `` entanglement '' of `` vengeance and mutual incomprehension '' . President Jimmy Carter called the hostages `` victims of terrorism and anarchy '' and said : `` The United States will not yield to blackmail . '' In Iran it was widely seen as a blow against the United States and its influence in Iran , including its perceived attempts to undermine the Iranian Revolution and its longstanding support of the recently overthrown Shah of Iran , Mohammad Reza Pahlavi , who had led an autocratic regime . `` 4 November 1979 is a date I will never forget , '' said Jimmy Carter . After his overthrow in 1979 , Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was admitted to the United States for cancer treatment . Iran demanded that he be returned to stand trial for crimes he was accused of committing during his reign . Specifically , Pahlavi was accused of committing crimes against Iranian citizens with the help of his secret police , the SAVAK . Iranians saw the decision to grant him asylum as American complicity in those atrocities ; the Iranian demands were rejected by the United States . The Americans saw the hostage - taking as an egregious violation of the principles of international law , which granted diplomats immunity from arrest and made diplomatic compounds inviolable . The crisis reached a climax after diplomatic negotiations failed to win release for the hostages . United States President Jimmy Carter ordered the United States military to attempt a rescue operation using warships -- including the USS Nimitz and USS Coral Sea -- that were patrolling the waters near Iran . On April 24 , 1980 , the attempt , known as Operation Eagle Claw , failed , resulting in the accidental deaths of eight American servicemen and one Iranian civilian , as well as the destruction of two helicopters . Six American diplomats who had evaded capture were eventually rescued by a joint CIA - Canadian effort on January 27 , 1980 . Shah Pahlavi left the United States in December 1979 and was ultimately granted asylum in Egypt , where he died from complications of cancer on July 27 , 1980 . In September 1980 the Iraqi military invaded Iran , beginning the Iran -- Iraq War . These events led the Iranian government to enter negotiations with the U.S. , with Algeria acting as a mediator . The hostages were formally released into United States custody the day after the signing of the Algiers Accords , just minutes after the new American president , Ronald Reagan , was sworn into office . The crisis is considered a pivotal episode in the history of Iran -- United States relations . Political analysts cite it as a major factor in the downfall of Jimmy Carter 's presidency and his landslide loss in the 1980 presidential election . In Iran the crisis strengthened the prestige of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and the political power of theocrats who opposed any normalization of relations with the West . The crisis also led to the United States ' economic sanctions against Iran , further weakening ties between the two countries .

For several decades before that , the United States had allied with and supported the Shah . During World War II , Allied powers Britain and the Soviet Union occupied Iran to force the abdication of first Pahlavi monarch Reza Shah Pahlavi , in favor of his eldest son , Crown Prince Mohammad . The Allies feared that Reza Shah intended to align his petroleum - rich country with Nazi Germany , but Reza Shah 's earlier declaration of neutrality , and his refusal to allow Iranian territory to be used to train or supply Soviet troops against Germany , were the strongest motives for the Allied invasion of Iran . Because of its importance in the Allied victory , Iran was subsequently called `` The Bridge of Victory '' by Winston Churchill . By the 1950s Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was engaged in a power struggle with Iran 's prime minister , Mohammad Mosaddegh , an immediate descendant of the preceding Qajar dynasty . Mosaddegh led a general strike on behalf of impoverished Iranians , demanding a share of the nation 's petroleum revenue from Britain 's Anglo - Iranian Oil Company . However , he overstepped in trying to get $50 million in damages and lost revenue from the British . In 1953 , the British and American spy agencies helped Iranian royalists depose Mosaddegh in a military coup d'état codenamed Operation Ajax , allowing the Shah to extend his power . The Shah appointed himself an absolute monarch rather than a constitutional monarch , his position before the 1953 crisis , with the aim of assuming complete control of the government and purging the disloyal . The U.S. continued to support and fund the Shah after the coup , with the Central Intelligence Agency training the government 's SAVAK secret police . In the subsequent decades of the Cold War , various economic , cultural , and political issues united opposition against the Shah and led to his overthrow . Carter administration ( edit ) Months before the revolution , on New Year 's Eve 1977 , President Carter further angered anti-Shah Iranians with a televised toast to Pahlavi , declaring how beloved the shah was by his people . After the revolution culminated in February 1979 with the return of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini from France , the American Embassy was occupied and its staff held hostage briefly . Rocks and bullets had broken so many of the embassy 's front - facing windows that they had been replaced with bulletproof glass . The embassy 's staff was reduced to just over 60 from a high of nearly one thousand earlier in the decade . The Carter administration tried to mitigate anti-American feeling by promoting a new relationship with the de facto Iranian government and continuing military cooperation in hopes that the situation would stabilize . However , on October 22 , 1979 , the United States permitted the Shah , who had lymphoma , to enter New York Hospital - Cornell Medical Center for medical treatment . The State Department had discouraged the request , understanding the political delicacy . But in response to pressure from influential figures including former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Council on Foreign Relations Chairman David Rockefeller , the Carter administration decided to grant it . The Shah 's admission to the United States intensified Iranian revolutionaries ' anti-Americanism and spawned rumors of another U.S. -- backed coup that would re-install him . Ayatollah Khomeini , who had been exiled by the shah for 15 years , heightened the rhetoric against the `` Great Satan '' , as he called the United States , talking of `` evidence of American plotting '' . In addition to ending what they believed was American sabotage of the revolution , the hostage takers hoped to depose the provisional revolutionary government of Prime Minister Mehdi Bazargan , which they believed was plotting to normalize relations with the United States and extinguish Islamic revolutionary order in Iran . The occupation of the embassy on November 4 , 1979 , was also intended as leverage to demand the return of the shah to stand trial in Iran in exchange for the hostages . A later study claimed that there had been no American plots to overthrow the revolutionaries , and that a CIA intelligence - gathering mission at the embassy had been `` notably ineffectual , gathering little information and hampered by the fact that none of the three officers spoke the local language , Persian . '' Its work , the study said , was `` routine , prudent espionage conducted at diplomatic missions everywhere . '' Prelude ( edit ) First attempt ( edit ) Further information : Kenneth Kraus On the morning of February 14 , 1979 -- the same day that the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan , Adolph Dubs , was kidnapped and fatally shot by Muslim extremists in Kabul -- the Organization of Iranian People 's Fedai Guerrillas stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and took a Marine named Kenneth Kraus hostage . Ambassador William Sullivan surrendered the embassy to save lives , and with the assistance of Iranian Foreign Minister Ebrahim Yazdi , returned the embassy to U.S. hands within three hours . Kraus was injured in the attack , kidnapped by the militants , tortured , tried , and convicted of murder . He was to be executed , but President Carter and Sullivan secured his release within six days . This incident became known as the Valentine 's Day Open House . Anticipating the takeover of the embassy , the Americans tried to destroy classified documents in a furnace . The furnace malfunctioned and the staff was forced to use cheap paper shredders . Skilled carpet weavers were later employed to reconstruct the documents . Second attempt ( edit ) The next attempt to seize the American Embassy was planned for September 1979 by Ebrahim Asgharzadeh , a student at the time . He consulted with the heads of the Islamic associations of Tehran 's main universities , including the University of Tehran , Sharif University of Technology , Amirkabir University of Technology ( Polytechnic of Tehran ) , and Iran University of Science and Technology . They named their group Muslim Student Followers of the Imam 's Line . Asgharzadeh later said there were five students at the first meeting , two of whom wanted to target the Soviet Embassy because the USSR was `` a Marxist and anti-God regime '' . Two others , Mohsen Mirdamadi and Habibolah Bitaraf , supported Asgharzadeh 's chosen target : the United States . `` Our aim was to object against the American government by going to their embassy and occupying it for several hours , '' Asgharzadeh said . `` Announcing our objections from within the occupied compound would carry our message to the world in a much more firm and effective way . '' Mirdamadi told an interviewer , `` We intended to detain the diplomats for a few days , maybe one week , but no more . '' Masoumeh Ebtekar , the spokeswoman for the Iranian students during the crisis , said that those who rejected Asgharzadeh 's plan did not participate in the subsequent events . The students observed the procedures of the Marine Security Guards from nearby rooftops overlooking the embassy . They also drew on their experiences from the recent revolution , during which the U.S. Embassy grounds were briefly occupied . They enlisted the support of police officers in charge of guarding the embassy and of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards . According to the group and other sources , Ayatollah Khomeini did not know of the plan beforehand . The students had wanted to inform him , but according to the author Mark Bowden , Ayatollah Mohammad Mousavi Khoeiniha persuaded them not to . Khoeiniha feared that the government would use the police to expel the students as they had the occupiers in February . The provisional government had been appointed by Khomeini , and so Khomeini was likely to go along with the government 's request to restore order . On the other hand , Khoeiniha knew that if Khomeini first saw that the occupiers were faithful supporters of him ( unlike the leftists in the first occupation ) and that large numbers of pious Muslims had gathered outside the embassy to show their support for the takeover , it would be `` very hard , perhaps even impossible '' , for him to oppose the takeover , and this would paralyze the Bazargan administration , which Khoeiniha and the students wanted to eliminate . Supporters of the takeover stated that their motivation was fear of another American - backed coup against their popular revolution . They claimed that in 1953 , the American Embassy had acted as a `` den of spies '' from which the coup was organized . Documents were later found in the embassy suggesting that some staff members had been working with American intelligence agencies . After the Shah entered the United States , Ayatollah Khomeini called for street demonstrations . Takeover ( edit ) Two American hostages during the siege of the U.S. Embassy . On November 4 , 1979 , one of the demonstrations organized by Iranian student unions loyal to Khomeini erupted into an all - out conflict right outside the walled compound housing the U.S. Embassy . Around 6 : 30 a.m. , the ringleaders gathered between three hundred and five hundred selected students and briefed them on the battle plan . A female student was given a pair of metal cutters to break the chains locking the embassy 's gates and hid them beneath her chador . At first , the students planned a symbolic occupation , in which they would release statements to the press and leave when government security forces came to restore order . This was reflected in placards saying : `` Do n't be afraid . We just want to sit in . '' When the embassy guards brandished firearms , the protesters retreated , with one telling the Americans , `` We do n't mean any harm . '' But as it became clear that the guards would not use deadly force and that a large , angry crowd had gathered outside the compound to cheer the occupiers and jeer the hostages , the plan changed . According to one embassy staff member , buses full of demonstrators began to appear outside the embassy shortly after the Muslim Student Followers of the Imam 's Line broke through the gates . As Khomeini 's followers had hoped , Khomeini supported the takeover . According to Foreign Minister Yazdi , when he went to Qom to tell Khomeini about it , Khomeini told him to `` go and kick them out . '' But later that evening , back in Tehran , Yazdi heard on the radio that Khomeini had issued a statement supporting the seizure , calling it `` the second revolution '' and the embassy an `` American spy den in Tehran '' . Play media A two - minute clip from a newsreel regarding the hostage crisis ( 1980 ) The occupiers bound and blindfolded the Marines and staff at the embassy and paraded them in front of photographers . In the first couple of days , many of the embassy workers who had sneaked out of the compound or had not been there at the time of the takeover were rounded up by Islamists and returned as hostages . Six American diplomats managed to avoid capture and took refuge in the British Embassy before being transferred to the Canadian Embassy . Others went to the Swedish Embassy in Tehran for three months . In a joint covert operation known as the Canadian caper , the Canadian government and the CIA managed to smuggle them out of Iran on January 28 , 1980 , using Canadian passports and a cover story that identified them as a film crew . A State Department diplomatic cable of November 8 , 1979 , details `` A Tentative , Incomplete List of U.S. Personnel Being Held in the Embassy Compound '' . Motivations ( edit ) The Muslim Student Followers of the Imam 's Line demanded that Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi return to Iran for trial and execution . The U.S. maintained that the Shah -- who was to die less than a year later , in July 1980 -- had come to America for medical attention . The group 's other demands included that the U.S. government apologize for its interference in the internal affairs of Iran , including the overthrow of Prime Minister Mosaddegh in 1953 , and that Iran 's frozen assets in the United States be released . Barry Rosen , the embassy 's press attaché , was among the hostages . The man on the right holding the briefcase is alleged by some former hostages to be future President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad , although he , Iran 's government , and the CIA deny this . The initial plan was to hold the embassy for only a short time , but this changed after it became apparent how popular the takeover was and that Khomeini had given it his full support . Some attributed the decision not to release the hostages quickly to President Carter 's failure to immediately deliver an ultimatum to Iran . His initial response was to appeal for the release of the hostages on humanitarian grounds and to share his hopes for a strategic anti-communist alliance with the Ayatollah . As some of the student leaders had hoped , Iran 's moderate prime minister , Bazargan , and his cabinet resigned under pressure just days after the takeover . The duration of the hostages ' captivity has also been attributed to internal Iranian revolutionary politics . As Ayatollah Khomeini told Iran 's president : This has united our people . Our opponents do not dare act against us . We can put the constitution to the people 's vote without difficulty , and carry out presidential and parliamentary elections . Theocratic Islamists , as well as leftist political groups like the socialist People 's Mujahedin of Iran , supported the taking of hostages as a counterattack against `` American imperialism '' . According to scholar Daniel Pipes , writing in 1980 , the Marxist - leaning leftists and the Islamists shared a common antipathy toward market - based reforms under the late Shah , and both subsumed individualism , including the unique identity of women , under conservative , though contrasting , visions of collectivism . Accordingly , both groups favored the Soviet Union over the United States in the early months of the Iranian Revolution . The Soviets , and possibly their allies Cuba , Libya , and East Germany , were suspected of providing indirect assistance to the participants in the takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran . The PLO under Yasser Arafat provided personnel , intelligence liaisons , funding , and training for Khomeini 's forces before and after the Revolution , and was suspected of playing a role in the embassy crisis . Fidel Castro reportedly praised Khomeini as a revolutionary anti-imperialist who could find common cause between revolutionary socialists and anti-American Islamists . Both expressed disdain for modern capitalism and a preference for authoritarian collectivism . Cuba and its socialist ally Venezuela , under Hugo Chávez , would later form ALBA in alliance with the Islamic Republic as a counter to neoliberal American influence . Revolutionary teams displayed secret documents purportedly taken from the embassy , sometimes painstakingly reconstructed after shredding , to buttress their claim that `` the Great Satan '' ( the U.S. ) was trying to destabilize the new regime and that Iranian moderates were in league with the U.S. The documents -- including telegrams , correspondence , and reports from the U.S. State Department and CIA -- were published in a series of books called Documents from the U.S. Espionage Den ( Persian : اسناد لانه جاسوسی امریكا ‎ ) . According to a 1997 Federation of American Scientists bulletin , by 1995 , 77 volumes of Documents from the U.S. Espionage Den had been published . Many of these volumes are now available online . By embracing the hostage - taking under the slogan `` America ca n't do a thing '' , Khomeini rallied support and deflected criticism of his controversial theocratic constitution , which was scheduled for a referendum vote in less than one month . The referendum was successful , and after the vote , both leftists and theocrats continued to use allegations of pro-Americanism to suppress their opponents : relatively moderate political forces that included the Iranian Freedom Movement , the National Front , Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Kazem Shariatmadari , and later President Abolhassan Banisadr . In particular , carefully selected diplomatic dispatches and reports discovered at the embassy and released by the hostage - takers led to the disempowerment and resignation of moderate figures such as Bazargan . The failed rescue attempt and the political danger of any move seen as accommodating America delayed a negotiated release of the hostages . After the crisis ended , leftists and theocrats turned on each other , with the stronger theocratic group annihilating the left .

The front of the sign reads `` Deport all Iranians '' and `` Get the hell out of my country '' , and the back reads `` Release all Americans now '' . The 444 - day crisis ( edit ) Main article : Timeline of the Iranian hostage crisis Hostage conditions ( edit ) The hostage - takers , declaring their solidarity with other `` oppressed minorities '' and `` the special place of women in Islam '' , released one woman and two African Americans on November 19 . Before release , these hostages were required by their captors to hold a press conference in which Kathy Gross and William Quarles praised the revolution 's aims , but four further women and six African - Americans were released the following day . The only African - American hostage not released that month was Charles A. Jones , Jr . One more hostage , a white man named Richard Queen , was released in July 1980 after he became seriously ill with what was later diagnosed as multiple sclerosis . The remaining 52 hostages were held until January 1981 , up to 444 days of captivity . The hostages were initially held at the embassy , but after the failed rescue mission , they were scattered around Iran to make a single rescue impossible . Three high - level officials -- Bruce Laingen , Victor L. Tomseth , and Mike Howland -- were at the Foreign Ministry at the time of the takeover . They stayed there for some months , sleeping in the ministry 's formal dining room and washing their socks and underwear in the bathroom . At first , they were treated as diplomats , but after the provisional government fell , their treatment deteriorated . By March , the doors to their living space were kept `` chained and padlocked . '' By midsummer 1980 , the Iranians had moved the hostages to prisons in Tehran to prevent escapes or rescue attempts and to improve the logistics of guard shifts and food delivery . The final holding area , from November 1980 until their release , was the Teymur Bakhtiar mansion in Tehran , where the hostages were finally given tubs , showers , and hot and cold running water . Several foreign diplomats and ambassadors -- including former Canadian ambassador Ken Taylor -- visited the hostages over the course of the crisis and relayed information back to the U.S. government , including dispatches from Laingen . A headline in an Islamic Republican newspaper on November 5 , 1979 , read `` Revolutionary occupation of U.S. embassy '' . Iranian propaganda stated that the hostages were `` guests '' and were treated with respect . Asgharzadeh , the student leader , described the original plan as a nonviolent and symbolic action in which the `` gentle and respectful treatment '' of the hostages would dramatize to the world the offended sovereignty and dignity of Iran . In America , an Iranian chargé d'affaires , Ali Agha , stormed out of a meeting with an American official , exclaiming : `` We are not mistreating the hostages . They are being very well taken care of in Tehran . They are our guests . '' The actual treatment was far different . The hostages described beatings , theft , and fear of bodily harm . Two of them , William Belk and Kathryn Koob , recalled being paraded blindfolded before an angry , chanting crowd outside the embassy . Others reported having their hands bound `` day and night '' for days or even weeks ; long periods of solitary confinement ; and months of being forbidden to speak to one another or to stand , walk , or leave their space unless they were going to the bathroom . All of the hostages `` were threatened repeatedly with execution , and took it seriously '' . The hostage - takers played Russian roulette with their victims . The most terrifying night for the hostages came on February 5 , 1980 , when guards in black ski masks roused them from their sleep and led them blindfolded to other rooms . They were searched after being ordered to strip naked and keep their hands up . They were then told to kneel down , still wearing blindfolds . `` This was the greatest moment , '' one hostage said . Another later recalled , `` It was an embarrassing moment . However , we were too scared to realize it . '' The guards cocked their weapons and readied them to fire , but finally ejected their rounds and told the prisoners to get dressed . The hostages were later told that the exercise had been `` just a joke , '' something the guards `` had wanted to do . '' One , Michael Metrinko , was kept in solitary confinement for months . On two occasions , when he expressed his opinion of Ayatollah Khomeini , he was punished severely . The first time , he was kept in handcuffs for two weeks , and the second time , he was beaten and kept alone in a freezing cell for two weeks . Another hostage , U.S. Army medic Donald Hohman , went on a hunger strike for several weeks , and two hostages attempted suicide . Steve Lauterbach broke a water glass and slashed his wrists after being locked in a dark basement room with his hands tightly bound . He was found by guards and rushed to the hospital . Jerry Miele , a CIA communication technician , smashed his head into the corner of a door , knocking himself unconscious and cutting a deep gash . `` Naturally withdrawn '' and looking `` ill , old , tired , and vulnerable , '' Miele had become the butt of his guards ' jokes , and they had rigged up a mock electric chair to emphasize the fate that awaited him . His fellow hostages applied first aid and raised the alarm , and he was taken to a hospital after a long delay created by the guards . Other hostages described threats to boil their feet in oil ( Alan B. Golacinski ) , cut their eyes out ( Rick Kupke ) , or kidnap and kill a disabled son in America and `` start sending pieces of him to your wife '' ( David Roeder ) . Four hostages tried to escape , and all were punished with stretches of solitary confinement when their attempts were discovered . A group photograph of the fifty - two hostages in a Wiesbaden hospital where they spent a few days after their release . Queen , the hostage sent home because of his multiple sclerosis , first developed dizziness and numbness in his left arm six months before his release . His symptoms were misdiagnosed by the Iranians at first as a reaction to drafts of cold air . When warmer confinement did not help , he was told that it was `` nothing '' and that the symptoms would soon disappear . Over the months , the numbness spread to his right side , and the dizziness worsened until he `` was literally flat on his back , unable to move without growing dizzy and throwing up . '' The cruelty of the Iranian prison guards became `` a form of slow torture . '' The guards often withheld mail -- telling one hostage , Charles W. Scott , `` I do n't see anything for you , Mr. Scott . Are you sure your wife has not found another man ? '' -- and the hostages ' possessions went missing . As the hostages were taken to the aircraft that would fly them out of Tehran , they were led through a gauntlet of students forming parallel lines and shouting , `` Marg bar Amrika '' ( `` death to America '' ) . When the pilot announced that they were out of Iran , the `` freed hostages went wild with happiness . Shouting , cheering , crying , clapping , falling into one another 's arms . '' Impact in the United States ( edit ) A heckler in Washington , D.C. , leans across a police line toward a demonstration of Iranians in August 1980 . In the United States , the hostage crisis created `` a surge of patriotism '' and left `` the American people more united than they have been on any issue in two decades '' . The hostage - taking was seen `` not just as a diplomatic affront '' , but as a `` declaration of war on diplomacy itself . '' Television news gave daily updates . In January 1980 , the CBS Evening News anchor Walter Cronkite began ending each show by saying how many days the hostages had been captive . President Carter applied economic and diplomatic pressure : Oil imports from Iran were ended on November 12 , 1979 , and with Executive Order 12170 , around US $8 billion of Iranian assets in the United States were frozen by the Office of Foreign Assets Control on November 14 . During the weeks leading up to Christmas in 1979 , high school students made cards that were delivered to the hostages . Community groups across the country did the same , resulting in bales of Christmas cards . The National Christmas Tree was left dark except for the top star . The two Trenton , N.J. , newspapers at the time , The Trenton Times and the Trentonian and perhaps others around the country , printed full - page color American flags in their newspapers for readers to cut out and place in the front windows of their homes as support for the hostages to be left in their windows until the hostages were brought home safely . A severe backlash against Iranians in the United States developed . One Iranian American later complained , `` I had to hide my Iranian identity not to get beaten up , even at university . '' According to Bowden , a pattern emerged in President Carter 's attempts to negotiate the hostages ' release : `` Carter would latch on to a deal proffered by a top Iranian official and grant minor but humiliating concessions , only to have it scotched at the last minute by Khomeini . '' Canadian rescue of hostages ( edit ) Main article : Canadian Caper Americans expressed gratitude for Canadian efforts to rescue American diplomats during the hostage crisis . On the day the hostages were seized , six American diplomats evaded capture and remained in hiding at the home of the Canadian diplomat John Sheardown , under the protection of the Canadian ambassador , Ken Taylor . In late 1979 , the government of Prime Minister Joe Clark secretly issued an Order in Council allowing Canadian passports to be issued to some American citizens so that they could escape . In cooperation with the CIA , which used the cover story of a film project , two CIA agents and the six American diplomats boarded a Swissair flight to Zurich , Switzerland , on January 28 , 1980 . Their rescue from Iran , known as the Canadian caper , was fictionalized in the 2012 film Argo .

( March 2009 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) First rescue attempt ( edit ) Cyrus Vance , the United States Secretary of State , had argued against Zbigniew Brzezinski 's , the National Security Advisor , push for a military solution to the crisis . Vance , struggling with gout , went to Florida on Thursday , April 10 , 1980 , for a long weekend . On Friday Brzezinski held a newly scheduled meeting of the National Security Council where the president authorized Operation Eagle Claw , a military expedition into Tehran to rescue the hostages . Deputy Secretary Warren Christopher , who attended the meeting in Vance 's place , did not inform Vance . Furious , Vance handed in his resignation on principle , calling Brzezinski `` evil '' . Late in the afternoon of April 24 , 1980 , eight RH ‐ 53D helicopters flew from the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz to a remote road serving as an airstrip in the Great Salt Desert of Eastern Iran , near Tabas . They encountered severe dust storms that disabled two of the helicopters , which were traveling in complete radio silence . Early the next morning , the remaining six helicopters met up with several waiting Lockheed C - 130 Hercules transport aircraft at a landing site and refueling area designated `` Desert One '' . At this point , a third helicopter was found to be unserviceable , bringing the total below the six deemed vital for the mission . The commander of the operation , Col. Charles Alvin Beckwith , recommended that the mission be aborted , and his recommendation was approved by President Carter . As the helicopters repositioned themselves for refueling , one ran into a C ‐ 130 tanker aircraft and crashed , killing eight U.S. servicemen and injuring several more . In May 1980 the Joint Chiefs of Staff commissioned a Special Operations review group of six senior military officers , led by Adm. James L. Holloway III , to thoroughly examine all aspects of the rescue attempt . The group identified 23 issues that were significant in the failure of the mission , 11 of which it deemed major . The overriding issue was operational security -- that is , keeping the mission secret so that the arrival of the rescue team at the embassy would be a complete surprise . This severed the usual relationship between pilots and weather forecasters ; the pilots were not informed about the local dust storms . Another security requirement was that the helicopter pilots come from the same unit . The unit picked for the mission was a U.S. Navy mine - laying unit flying CH - 53D Sea Stallions ; these helicopters were considered the best suited for the mission because of their long range , large capacity , and compatibility with shipboard operations . Two hours into the flight , the crew of helicopter No. 6 saw a warning light indicating that a main rotor might be cracked . They landed in the desert , confirmed visually that a crack had started to develop , and stopped flying in accordance with normal operating procedure . Helicopter No. 8 landed to pick up the crew of No. 6 , and abandoned No. 6 in the desert without destroying it . The report by Holloway 's group pointed out that a cracked helicopter blade could have been used to continue the mission and that its likelihood of catastrophic failure would have been low for many hours , especially at lower flying speeds . The report found that the pilot of No. 6 would have continued the mission if instructed to do so . When the helicopters encountered two dust storms along the way to the refueling point , the second more severe than the first , the pilot of No. 5 turned back because the mine - laying helicopters were not equipped with terrain - following radar . The report found that the pilot could have continued to the refueling point if he had been told that better weather awaited him there , but because of the command for radio silence , he did not ask about the conditions ahead . The report also concluded that `` there were ways to pass the information '' between the refueling station and the helicopter force `` that would have small likelihood of compromising the mission '' -- in other words , that the ban on communication had not been necessary at this stage . Helicopter No. 2 experienced a partial hydraulic system failure but was able to fly on for four hours to the refueling location . There , an inspection showed that a hydraulic fluid leak had damaged a pump and that the helicopter could not be flown safely , nor repaired in time to continue the mission . Six helicopters was thought to be the absolute minimum required for the rescue mission , so with the force reduced to five , the local commander radioed his intention to abort . This request was passed through military channels to President Carter , who agreed . After the mission and its failure were made known publicly , Khomeini credited divine intervention on behalf of Islam , and his prestige skyrocketed in Iran . Iranian officials who favored release of the hostages , such as President Bani Sadr , were weakened . In America , President Carter 's political popularity and prospects for being re-elected in 1980 were further damaged after a television address on April 25 in which he explained the rescue operation and accepted responsibility for its failure . Planned second attempt ( edit ) A second rescue attempt , planned but never carried out , would have used highly modified YMC - 130H Hercules aircraft . Three aircraft , outfitted with rocket thrusters to allow an extremely short landing and takeoff in the Shahid Shiroudi football stadium near the embassy , were modified under a rushed , super-secret program known as Operation Credible Sport . One crashed during a demonstration at Eglin Air Force Base on October 29 , 1980 , when its braking rockets were fired too soon . The misfire caused a hard touchdown that tore off the starboard wing and started a fire , but all on board survived . After Carter lost the presidential election in November , the project was abandoned . The failed rescue attempt led to the creation of the 160th SOAR , a helicopter aviation Special Operations group . Release ( edit ) Vice President George H.W.

( January 2008 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) With the completion of negotiations , the hostages were released on January 20 , 1981 . That day , at the moment President Reagan completed his 20 ‐ minute inaugural address after being sworn in , the 52 American hostages were released to U.S. personnel . There are theories and conspiracy theories regarding why Iran postponed the release until that moment . ( See also : October Surprise conspiracy theory ) They were flown from Iran to Algeria as a symbolic gesture of appreciation for the Algerian government 's help in resolving the crisis . The flight continued to Rhein - Main Air Base in West Germany and on to an Air Force hospital in Wiesbaden , where former President Carter , acting as emissary , received them . After medical check - ups and debriefings , the hostages made a second flight to a refueling stop in Shannon , Ireland , where they were greeted by a large crowd . The ex-hostages were then flown to Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh , New York . From Newburgh , they traveled by bus to the United States Military Academy at West Point and stayed at the Thayer Hotel for three days , receiving a heroes ' welcome all along the route . Ten days after their release , they were given a ticker tape parade through the Canyon of Heroes in New York City . Aftermath ( edit ) Iran -- Iraq War ( edit ) The Iraqi invasion of Iran occurred less than a year after the embassy employees were taken hostage . The journalist Stephen Kinzer argues that the dramatic change in American -- Iranian relations , from allies to enemies , helped embolden the Iraqi leader , Saddam Hussein , and that the United States ' anger with Iran led it to aid the Iraqis after the war turned against them . The United States supplied Iraq with , among other things , `` helicopters and satellite intelligence that was used in selecting bombing targets . '' This assistance `` deepened and widened anti-American feeling in Iran . '' Consequences for Iran ( edit ) A protest in Tehran on November 4 , 2015 , against the United States , Israel , and Saudi Arabia . The November 2015 protest in Tehran . The hostage - taking was unsuccessful for Iran in some respects . It lost international support for its war against Iraq , and the negotiated settlement was considered almost wholly favorable to the United States because it did not meet any of Iran 's original demands . Nevertheless , the crisis strengthened Iranians who had supported the hostage - taking . Anti-Americanism became even more intense . Politicians such as Khoeiniha and Behzad Nabavi were left in a stronger position , while those associated with -- or accused of association with -- America were removed from the political picture . A Khomeini biographer , Baqer Moin , described the crisis as `` a watershed in Khomeini 's life '' that transformed him from `` a cautious , pragmatic politician '' into `` a modern revolutionary single - mindedly pursuing a dogma '' . In Khomeini 's statements , imperialism and liberalism were `` negative words '' , while revolution `` became a sacred word , sometimes more important than Islam '' . Some have suggested that the greatest benefit of the takeover of the American Embassy was the acquisition of intelligence contained within the embassy , including the identity of informants to the U.S. government , which the new Islamist government could use to remove potential dissenters and consolidate its gains . The Iranian government commemorates the event every year with a demonstration at the embassy and the burning of an American flag . However , on November 4 , 2009 , prodemocracy protesters and reformists demonstrated in the streets of Tehran . When the authorities encouraged them to chant `` death to America , '' the protesters instead chanted `` death to the dictator '' ( referring to Iran 's Supreme Leader , Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ) and other antigovernment slogans . Consequences for the United States ( edit ) Simulation of the first day of the event , 3 November 2016 , Tehran Gifts , including lifetime passes to any minor league or Major League Baseball game , were showered on the hostages upon their return to the United States . In 2000 the hostages and their families tried unsuccessfully to sue Iran under the Antiterrorism Act of 1996 . They originally won the case when Iran failed to provide a defense , but the State Department then tried to end the lawsuit , fearing that it would make international relations difficult . As a result , a federal judge ruled that no damages could be awarded to the hostages because of the agreement the United States had made when the hostages were freed . The former U.S. Embassy building is now used by Iran 's government and affiliated groups . Since 2001 it has served as a museum to the revolution . Outside the door , there is a bronze model based on the Statue of Liberty on one side and a statue portraying one of the hostages on the other . The Guardian reported in 2006 that a group called the Committee for the Commemoration of Martyrs of the Global Islamic Campaign had used the embassy to recruit `` martyrdom seekers '' : volunteers to carry out operations against Western and Israeli targets . Mohammad Samadi , a spokesman for the group , signed up several hundred volunteers in a few days . Iran hostage crisis memorial Diplomatic relations ( edit ) The United States and Iran broke off formal diplomatic relations over the hostage crisis . Iran selected Algeria as its protecting power in the United States , transferring the mandate to Pakistan in 1992 . The United States selected Switzerland as its protecting power in Iran . Relations are maintained through the Iranian Interests Section of the Pakistan Embassy and the U.S. Interests Section of the Swiss Embassy . Operation Eagle Claw remnant in the former embassy Hostages ( edit ) There were 66 original captives : 63 taken at the embassy and three captured and held at the Foreign Ministry offices .

Political Officer Michael J. Metrinko received two : one for his time as a hostage and another for his daring rescue of Americans who had been jailed in Tabriz months before the embassy takeover . The U.S. military later awarded the 20 servicemen among the hostages the Defense Meritorious Service Medal . The only hostage serviceman not issued the medal was Staff Sgt Joseph Subic , Jr. , who `` did not behave under stress the way noncommissioned officers are expected to act '' -- that is , he cooperated with the hostage - takers , according to other hostages . The Humanitarian Service Medal was awarded to the servicemen of Joint Task Force 1 -- 79 , the planning authority for Operation Rice Bowl / Eagle Claw , who participated in the rescue attempt . The Air Force Special Operations component of the mission was given the Air Force Outstanding Unit award for performing their part of the mission flawlessly , including evacuating the Desert One refueling site under extreme conditions . Notable hostage - takers , guards , and interrogators ( edit ) Abbas Abdi -- reformist , journalist , self - taught sociologist , and social activist . Hamid Aboutalebi -- former Iranian ambassador to the United Nations . Ebrahim Asgharzadeh -- then a student ; later an Iranian political activist and politician , member of Parliament ( 1989 -- 1993 ) , and chairman of City Council of Tehran ( 1999 -- 2003 ) . Mohsen Mirdamadi -- member of Parliament ( 2000 -- 2004 ) , head of Islamic Iran Participation Front . Masoumeh Ebtekar -- interpreter and spokeswoman for the student group that occupied the embassy ; later a scientist , journalist , first female Vice President of Iran , and head of Environment Protection Organization of Iran . Mohammad Mousavi Khoeiniha -- spiritual leader of the hostage - takers . Hussein Sheikholeslam -- then a student ; later a member of Parliament and Iranian ambassador to Syria . October Surprise conspiracy theory ( edit ) Further information : October Surprise conspiracy theory and October surprise Allegations that the Reagan administration negotiated a delay in the release of the hostages until after the 1980 presidential election have been numerous but unproven . Gary Sick , principal White House aide for Iran and the Persian Gulf on the Carter administration 's National Security Council , claimed in his book October Surprise : America 's Hostages in Iran and the Election of Ronald Reagan that CIA Director William Casey and possibly Vice President George H.W. Bush went to Paris to negotiate such a delay . Many others have made the same allegations . In popular culture ( edit ) Laurie Anderson 's surprise 1982 UK # 2 hit `` O Superman ( For Massenet ) '' is a reference to the failure of Operation Eagle Claw at the peak of the crisis . The Academy Award -- winning movie Argo was based on the taking of hostages by Iranian revolutionaries . The movie was criticized for changing the story considerably , including by former U.S. president Jimmy Carter : 90 % of the contributions to the ideas and the consummation of the plan was Canadian . And the movie gives almost full credit to the American CIA . And with that exception , the movie is very good . But Ben Affleck 's character in the film was ... only in Tehran a day and a half . And the main hero , in my opinion , was Ken Taylor , who was the Canadian ambassador who orchestrated the entire process . The song `` Storm the Embassy '' by The Stray Cats is loosely based on the Iran hostage crisis .

where were 66 americans held hostage for 444 days in the late 1970s
[ "The Iran hostage crisis was a diplomatic standoff between Iran and the United States of America. Fifty-two American diplomats and citizens were held hostage for 444 days from November 4, 1979, to January 20, 1981, after a group of Iranian college students belonging to the Muslim Student Followers of the Imam's Line, who supported the Iranian Revolution, took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.[3] It stands as the longest hostage crisis in recorded history.[4]\n" ]

A Bushel and a Peck
A Bushel and a Peck - Wikipedia A Bushel and a Peck Jump to : navigation , search `` A Bushel and a Peck '' Song Published 1950 Songwriter ( s ) Frank Loesser `` A Bushel and a Peck '' is a popular song written by Frank Loesser and published in 1950 . The song was introduced in the Broadway musical Guys and Dolls , which opened at the 46th Street Theater on November 24 , 1950 . It was performed on stage by Vivian Blaine , who later reprised her role as Miss Adelaide in the 1955 film version of the play . `` A Bushel and a Peck , '' however , was not included in the film , and instead replaced by a new song , titled `` Pet Me , Poppa . '' A popular recording by Perry Como and Betty Hutton ( made on September 12 , 1950 , and released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 47 - 3930 ) first reached the Billboard magazine charts on October 27 , 1950 , and lasted 18 weeks on the chart , peaking at # 6 . Another contemporary recording that had some popularity was by Margaret Whiting and Jimmy Wakely ( recorded on September 13 , 1950 , and released by Capitol Records as catalog number 1234 ) . The record first reached the Billboard magazine charts on October 20 , 1950 , and lasted 13 weeks on the chart , peaking at # 13 . Doris Day 's recording ( made on September 13 , 1950 , and released by Columbia Records as 78rpm catalog number 39008 and 45rpm catalog number 6 - 838 ) made the chart on January 5 , 1951 , at # 30 for one week . Day 's rendition of the song enjoyed a surge in popularity due to its usage in a 2017 State Farm Insurance TV commercial . Many other recording artists also did versions of the song . On Cash Box magazine 's Best - Selling Record charts , where all versions of the song are combined , the song reached # 5 on December 2 , 1950 . The song gained so much popularity before the musical actually opened that it was moved from its original spot at the start of the second act into the first act . The number , in context of the show , can be performed either as `` Miss Adelaide and her Chick Chick Chickedies , '' where the girls are dressed in yellow feathers , or as `` Miss Adelaide and the Hot Box Farmerettes , '' where skimpy plantation outfits are worn ( often jean cutoffs and checkered racing shirts or short gingham sundresses ) .
